Chapter 77 The Derby Conflict

When Klose scored, George celebrated wildly.The location happened to be not far from Hodgson, when Hodgson was not even two meters away from George.Hodgson didn't look at George, but he was livid.

The TV broadcast not only closely followed George's celebration, but also gave Hodgson a close-up shot.Looking at Hodgson's livid face, Mortensen and Alan Hansen couldn't stop laughing.

"Coach Hodgson, meeting George is considered unlucky. There are not many coaches with such personality as George. But it is because of George that it is more exciting, isn't it?" Mortensen laughed and burst into tears all out.

Alan Hansen couldn't stop laughing, too. "Yeah, George is a very different kind of coach."

After Burnley equalized the score, morale was booming.There was a lot of bombardment against Blackburn, but not a lot of time in the first half.Soon the first half of the game was over, and the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

"The one-to-one score is actually not the real performance on the field. The performance of Burnley in the whole first half was far better than that of Blackburn. Blackburn only got a goal by virtue of Duff's personal ability. But Burnley Enley overall is completely better than Blackburn."

"If you watch the first half of the game, you will not believe that this is a game between Premier League and League One clubs. Burnley's performance is completely at the Premier League level. I believe that this year's promotion of Burnley will not What is the problem."

At the end of the first half, Mortensen began to summarize the performance of the two teams in the first half.

"Your performance in the first half is only two words, perfect. I am very satisfied with your performance in the first half. You did a great job." George did not hesitate to praise, because Burnley's performance today was perfect except for that goal.

"In the second half, we have to change the play. In the second half, I only want speed. Pass the ball fast and run more. Anyway, it's just one word. Quick, Michael, it depends on you."

"In the second half you have to keep passing the ball and let Blackburn follow the rhythm of Burnley."

In the first half, they had almost played with them, and in the second half, George was about to start playing his trump card. "Blackburn just played in the Premier League three days ago, and the physical strength of their main players will definitely be a problem. They may have no problems in the first half, but in the second half...we are different. You guys have rested in the last round. .So you beat them with speed."

What George is most confident about in this game is that Blackburn is now in the relegation zone of the Premier League, so he cannot give up any game in the league.Had it not been for Burnley in the fourth round of the League Cup this time, George believed that Hodgson would have given up the game.

Blackburn just played against Newcastle three days ago, and all the main players who played today have played in the league three days ago.George does not believe that Blackburn players are steel warriors, especially when many of their players are not young.

"Miro, Frederick, and Sera, the three of you must run non-stop in the second half. Use your running not only to run out of space, but also to let their defenders run with you."

"So there is only one word in the second half, which is fast."

…………

The second half of the game had just started, and the rhythm suddenly picked up.In midfield, Ballack kept moving the ball according to George's words.With Burnley passing the ball non-stop, Blackburn's players could only follow Burnley's rhythm.

Hodgson was unable to sit in the coach's bench at the beginning of the second half, walking up and down nervously on the sidelines.Because Hodgson already knew George's thoughts, the Blackburn players were obviously showing signs of fatigue.

Of course Hodgson knew that his players had already had a fierce Premier League game three days ago.At this difficult moment of relegation, Hodgson is unwilling to waste energy in the League Cup if possible.

But Hodgson can't help it, this is a derby.Whether it's Blackburn's top executives or Blackburn fans, they are all looking at themselves now.There is no room for loss in this game, so Hodgson can only continue to play the main force.

This is the shortcoming of the sudden rise of the team. Blackburn's main force to win the championship is indeed very strong.But there is no corresponding substitute lineup, which makes Hodgson stretched in formation.

"Barack...passed to the right and Camoranesi got the ball. Camoranesi swung past the defender and crossed... Klose, Hendry defended. Klose headed, Hendry ..."

"Oh, Hendry's foot kicked Klose hard!"

On 66 minutes, Camoranesi got the ball and swung past Blackburn's left-back.Since Le Saux left Blackburn this summer, the strength of Blackburn's left back has dropped a lot.Camoranesi dribbles past him with ease and crosses in.

For this kind of pass, Klose's judgment is the most accurate.Klose jumped up to head the ball, and Hendry also rushed up.But after finding that he couldn't reach it, he went straight to it.Before Klose hit the ball, he was kicked down by Hendry.

Daniel, who came forward with the assist, soon came to Klose and looked at Klose first.Then he was very angry, stood up and pushed Hendry.Hendry did not show weakness, but also stared at Daniel with wide eyes.

Soon this confrontation turned into a large-scale conflict, and Mitchell even ran up from behind.

"Beep beep——" The referee used a whistle to stop their conflict the moment it happened.Then he first signaled the team doctor to come in, then gave Hendry a red card and added a penalty.

The referee gave another yellow card to Daniel in the conflict and another to Slater on Blackburn's side.

George was very angry when he saw Hendry's actions.But this time is not the time to pay attention to this, so hurry up to see Klose's injury.

"How is Miro?" George asked the team doctor nervously.

Fortunately, in the scene just now, Klose shook his head and attacked the goal on the spot, while Hendry inserted diagonally.Otherwise, if there is a head-on collision, the consequences are absolutely unimaginable.Mother's, George cursed Hendry in his mind.

You are so old, you are such a big person.Still bullying young people like Klose should be banned for life.

"It doesn't seem very serious." The team doctor replied casually. "Milo, take a breath and see if there is any tightness in your chest."

Klose breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up.Jumped a few times and smiled at George. "Head, I have nothing to do."

"You really have nothing to do. If you feel uncomfortable, don't force it." Klose's status in George's mind is very high.George will not let Klose take risks for a game.

"Head, look. There's nothing wrong." Klose twisted his body and assured George.

"Well done, Milo. Really good performance today."

The Burnley fans gave Klose the loudest ovation as he jumped a few times on the sidelines.

Barack stood at twelve yards, watching Flores with a blank expression.Only those eyes, firm and divine.

Ballack didn't run up, just took a deep breath on the spot.As soon as the referee whistled, with a swing of the calf, the ball was shot out like a cannonball.

Ballack's speed was so fast that Flors didn't even have time to make a move, and the ball had already entered the goal.
