Chapter 545 Turf Moore Stadium
"Let's take a look at George. He fell behind [-]-[-] in the first game of re-entering Burnley, and he was not in a hurry. He was still chatting leisurely with Carl next to him."

Mortensen smiled and shook his head.

George was indeed in no hurry.For the current Burnley, many people are not optimistic.But after this period of understanding, George is full of confidence.

Before coming, George was still very worried.After all, it is a club that has only scored [-] points, and relegation is really not that easy.But in the past few days in Burnley, George carefully weighed Burnley's strength.

After understanding, I am more and more confident about relegation.

George has been discussing with Karl next to him how to train the team.What kind of play should the team play.

George didn't get up for the whole game.

All games are directed by Mitchell.George shook his head.

Mitchell has been coaching the first team for more than ten years, and his level of command has not improved at all.

If it weren't for Mitchell's prestige at Burnley, George was really worried about how he would control the locker room and how he would act as an acting head coach.It seems that in the future, he will be used more to control the atmosphere in the locker room.As for the command, or...

At the end of the game, there were loud voices taunting George.

The happiest thing is that Mark Lawrence, who has the worst relationship with George, is like a holiday. "Coach Levy definitely made the worst choice."

"I am really sad. Coach Levy should not be like this. He is the best manager in England. His command post should be at the Bernabeu, it should be at the Allianz Arena, not the humble Turfmore Stadium."

"Look at the game against the Wolves. Coach Levy has completely lost his previous sharpness. If his team was beaten like that by the Wolves in the past, Coach Levy would be furious. But look at yesterday's game, It's zero to two, and George is still sitting firmly on the bench. After resting for half a year, it seems that George's temper has disappeared."

"He's going to meet the real Waterloo. He won't succeed at Burnley no matter how many previous titles he has."

"Why? Why did Coach Levy make such a decision? It's too difficult to understand."

Mark Laurenson is a famous player in English football.It should be said that there are many topics to talk about.

But his favorite thing was to bash George.

Because George has the highest attention.

In addition to Mark Laurenson, many newspapers are not very optimistic about George's trip to Burnley. Among the newspapers of "The Sun" and "News of the World", many famous football figures have their own columns.

Their meanings are similar to those of Mark Lawrence.

They are all not optimistic about Burnley's relegation situation.

"Look, these so-called football stars are all outdated. If they are so good, how can they only know how to brag in the newspaper every day. If they are really capable, they will compete on the field."

What George looks down on the most is these so-called football stars.

Relying on his good results in the player era.Just brag every day in the newspaper.If you were the head coach, you would have lost count of how many times you would have dismissed get out of class if you listened to their nonsense.

"Forget it, George." Carl smiled and shook his head.George seems to be specifically against these people.George despises none of those famous football players.In other words, George is like a fighter.

Because of criticizing these football celebrities, George has also been besieged a lot.

But George still enjoys it.

"George, here we are."

George looked up to the front.The team bus arrived at Turf Moor Stadium.

This is the No.20 round of the Premier League.Burnley host Bolton.

2010, April 1.

From the [-] rounds of the Premier League to today, there have been thirteen days and two weeks.George took advantage of these two weeks to fine-tune the team lineup.Now George is more and more confident.

12 years ago, after leaving Burnley, it is not that George has not returned to Turf Moor Stadium.But this is the first time that Burnley has returned to the Turf Moor Stadium.In the past ten years, every time George came back here, all he heard was boos from the audience.

So George was a little scared to come to Turfmore Stadium.

George breathed a sigh of relief and was the first to walk down.

"Coach Levy, do you have confidence in Burnley's relegation?"

"Burnley have only eleven points now, and there are eighteen games left. Are you really confident?"

"What it's like to be the manager of Burnley again."

An ordinary game, an ordinary game cannot be an ordinary game.Burnley and Bolton are both teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League.But because of George, it has become one of the most watched games.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar Turfmore Stadium, George settled down.

"With me, there is no failure. Relegation? I am George Levy. Do you think I will be troubled by such things as relegation?"

George is still so tugging.

After finishing speaking, he ignored the reporters who were chasing after him and entered the stadium.

"All that needs to be said has been said. When you are on the court, you must be steady, steady."

George didn't deliver a tirade in the locker room.

It's time to practice.

"Jack, you're in the middle, use the pass to mobilize the offense. Don't rush up. Don't be nervous, just believe in yourself."

George tapped Wilshere on the shoulder as he went out.

Just after Wilshere was on loan, George gave him the important responsibility of the midfield.For Wilshere, who is only a young player, George attaches great importance to it.Even Carl was a little surprised that George reused Wilshere so much.

Wilshere is certainly strong.But at such a young age, Karl was afraid that Wilshere would not be able to handle the pressure.

Although he is not his own player, the talented player Karl still cherishes it.

But George believed in Wilshere.This is a player with a strong character and a big heart.Just too young.

Wilshere nodded gratefully.

George and Wenger are equally famous in English football.Both are good at cultivating young talent players.But now Arsenal is a giant, although it has been a little bit down in recent years.But there are too many good players in the midfield, and Wilshere can't play the game.

And Burnley is the relegation team.

After being here on loan, Wilshere never expected that George would value him so much.He handed over the organization of the middle lane to himself.

"Okay, let's go out."

When the game was about to start, George and Carl walked out.

"George came in. It was George back at Turf Moore as Burnley manager."

The moment George entered the field, Turfmore Stadium, which was still noisy just now, was suddenly silent.No applause, no booing, all the Burnley fans didn't know how to treat George.

Welcome George?The knot in their hearts has not been untied.

Boo George like before?Now George is stepping in.With George's current reputation, being able to come to Burnley is entirely due to the friendship in the past.Therefore, Burnley fans can't boo.

Before the game, some fans had this kind of discussion.How should George be treated?

Except that George was a taboo subject.What everyone just said is just a taste of it.So there is no consensus.So when George really came out, the fans were all looking at me and I looking at you, and they didn't know how to react.

Therefore, when George entered the field, the stadium was unexpectedly silent.

Everyone found this anomaly.

Bolton's coach Coyle also looked up at the fans at Turf Moor Stadium.It was so quiet, it didn't look like a football field at all.

"Quiet! It's so quiet!"

Mortensen commented on the sidelines, and was very surprised: "There is no sound at Turfmore Stadium. I only have one feeling now, like being in a stadium with no one in it."

George also smiled wryly.

George also wondered what was going on now.

Until George returned to his seat, Trevor Moor Stadium was always the same.No applause, no booing.

This situation continued until the game started.

After the game started, the cheers of the fans returned.

"Burnley's starting lineup for this game has changed a lot compared to the last game. When George entered Burnley, all four players he brought played. Daniel Morrison, Campbell, Jack Wilshere, Welbeck all in."

"Wilshere and Welbeck are both players on loan. Now they are just young players under 20 years old. After George was loaned, he was directly arranged in the main lineup. He is very courageous."

Speaking of which, Welbeck was more famous at this time.He played in the first team for Manchester United and scored goals.

Although Wilshere has always been dubbed a genius, there are too many geniuses in Arsenal.Pick one of their youth teams at random, and they are all geniuses in English football.So no big deal.

It's just that he didn't expect that he would become the main midfielder as soon as he came.

For Burnley's original style of play, George has not changed much.The emphasis is still on running, but it is no longer that kind of blind running.

George used Ashley Chapman, Wilshere, Gareth Gray, Steve Patterson in the middle.Except for Ashley Chapman who is older, the others are all young players in their 20s.

The striker partners are Welbeck and Thomason Locke.

Thomason Locke is only 22 years old and a player who came out of the Burnley youth academy.The biggest feature is height, with a height of 1.9 meters.Is a high center forward.

The height is more than 1.9 meters, but the physical strength is very strong.I ran for nine and 10 minutes on the court, and there was no problem at all.

George liked Thomas Locke very much.This is a very good bridgehead.

The defense is the one that has been modified the most by George.Daniel was at left back, Campbell and Simon Harker were at center back and Job Pierce was at right back.

Simon Harker is flexible.Fast, aggressive, and good header.But the sense of position is not good.George asked him to partner with Campbell and wanted to use Campbell's rich experience to fill him in.

The goalkeeper is Lee Grant.

This is Burnley's starting XI.
