This is Burnley's roster for the 97-98 season.Starting from this season, George will change his previous problem of attacking right, and prepare for a tactic of flying with both wings.And Burnley has always been a solid defense first, and then counterattack tactics.

But George is going to change this situation, so he won't have three midfielders like he did in the last two seasons.Started the restoration of the traditional 4-4-2, Ljungberg had to sacrifice himself a little for this tactic.

Ljungberg is an all-around player who can play both left and right, but the best position is still the right midfielder.But with Camoranesi, George is ready to let Ljungberg go to the left.Let Ljungberg and Daniel form the left side, Ljungberg can cut inside and shoot.

The bigger move is to liberate Ballack, and George is going to make Ballack a free midfielder.According to the situation on the court, when defense is needed, Ballack should become a midfielder.When attacking, it is not only to control the rhythm of the midfield, but also to participate in the shooting.

In George's tactics, Ballack should become the ruler from the 30-meter area of ​​his own penalty area to the 30-meter area of ​​​​the opponent's penalty area.Although he is a bit demanding of Ballack, who is only 21 years old, George believes that Ballack can still be competent in the League One.

These are just tactical changes, but two old players will give up their main positions this season.That is right back Grant and goalkeeper Miller, but these two and captain Mitchell King are the old men of the team.

Not only has great influence among the team, but also has a high appeal among fans.It was also George's job to reassure them.

…………

"Mitchell, Grant, Miller, I want to thank you three first." George invited the three of them to York's hotel.

All three had worked with George for a long time and had known each other for seven years.Like the traditional English players, the three of them all like to drink very much.So George poured each of them a glass of wine. For these old players, drinking is the happiest thing.

The three of them were able to abide by many of the regulations that George made at the beginning.The only thing that is quite displeased with George's ban on alcohol.

"Head, what do you want to thank us for?" Mitchell was about to drink, but put down his glass when he heard George's words.

"Thank you for supporting me at the beginning. We were able to upgrade from the second division. Without the support of the three of you, it would have been impossible." At that time, George introduced eight newcomers, although they will all be great stars in the future.But at that time, he was just a child of seventeen or eighteen years old.

Moreover, the three of them, as the elders of the team, supported George so that George could spend that time safely.

Mitchell shook his head, put down his glass and asked with a smile, "George, there is something I wanted to ask you a long time ago." Mitchell suddenly called George's name as usual.

"You said."

"I've always been curious, if I objected to you cleaning the players. Would you have listed me?" Not only Mitchell, but Grant and Miller next to him also looked at George.

"Yes." George replied affirmatively without hesitation. "But Mitchell, I'm sure I won't get there. Because I know you have more affection for the club than anyone else, and you would never do something stupid like that. When you really got to that point, Me and you and of course the club will be ruined."

"George, it's refreshing." Mitchell laughed and drank a glass very refreshingly. "Actually, George, you don't have to thank us. At the end of our career, we can see the hope of Burnley. This is the best gift you have given us."

"Yes, George. We couldn't see the future of the club before, but you gave us hope. What you said at the press conference was really encouraging." Miller also echoed Mitchell beside him.

Grant nodded, also in high spirits. "Yeah. George, maybe I can go to the Premier League to have a look because of you."

Although George is not an alcoholic, his drinking capacity is definitely not simple.He drank several glasses with the three of them, but apart from being a little excited, he was still quite sober.

"Mitchell, Grant, Miller, you have all contributed your entire career to the club. However, I am looking for you today..." George was very helpless for what they said.But professional football is so cruel.

"George, you don't need to say it." Mitchell interrupted George and sighed. "George, I understand. You are looking for the three of us old guys, hoping that we will give up the main position. We all understand, we guessed it from the time you asked the three of us to drink."

George looked up at the three of them, they were old and smart.

"Sorry, I have to think about the development of Burnley. Grant and Miller will be replaced by Finnan and Jass Kleining. I hope you can understand." George talked to the three very sincerely.

These three people are not only in the present, but also in George's consideration in the future.George and Kilby talked about the problems of the three of them. Burnley has struggled in the lower leagues for decades, and there are few such old players.Now there are these good players who have played for the team for more than ten years, and the club should treat them well.This is also the process of developing a club culture.

Miller nodded, then burst out laughing. "George, I already knew it during the training. You have a good vision, and Jask Kleining is much better than me. Even when I was young, I didn't have his strength."

"George, thank you for preparing such an occasion today. You don't have to worry, I won't make trouble. I'm past that age too."

Grant next to him didn't speak, but nodded.

"Thank you, actually I wanted to talk to you a long time ago. Have you ever thought about things after retiring? If possible, I hope you can stay in the club. Or join my coaching staff, or become the club's job personnel." George is very grateful for the attitude of these three people, if they are not convinced, then there will be another storm.

Grant and Miller heard it for the first time, so they looked at each other.

Football players are stars, loved by thousands.But that is only for stars, and ordinary players have to consider how to make a living after retiring.Now that George had even thought of this for them, the two of them were of course very happy.

"George, it's an honor to stay at the club."

"We find a time to sign a new contract, a player/coach contract. Of course if you want to continue to develop, you have to study the coaching course. You can also be a scout, anyway, Burnley is now increasing the number of scouts. "

(Today is New Year's Eve, I wish you all a happy new year.)
