Three days after a dramatic passage through the second round of the Carabao Cup, Burnley hosted Crewe at home.

Speaking of Crewe, there is actually not much history with Burnley, but unfortunately this year George brought in two main midfielders from the Crewe team in one go. Crewe, who finished third in the second division last season but unfortunately failed to make it through the play-offs, were also favourites for promotion at the start of the season.

Unfortunately, after losing Danny Murphy and Neil Lennon, they are now only in ninth place in the second division. The gap to Burnley is nine by nine.

In this game, George arranged the strongest lineup to face the Crewe team, and after the loss of two midfielders, the control of the Crewe team in the midfield was greatly reduced.

With the trio of Ballack, Danny Murphy and Neil Lennon combined, Burnley was firmly in control of the initiative. In the end, thanks to the goals of Poboski and Darren Hakby, 2:0 won six consecutive league games.

After six rounds, Burnley are at the top of the table with 18 points thanks to six consecutive wins. Second place is Swindon, who were beaten by Burnley in the first game, with 13 points with four wins and one draw. Just six games later, Burnley are well ahead of the rest of the teams.

…………

After six rounds, it was soon the draw for the third round of the League Cup. I don't know if luck should be said to be good or bad. But when Burnley's rival was announced, George shook his head with a smile.

Because Burnley's next opponent is Blackburn, Burnley's feud Blackburn.

Although George openly shouted in the media, hoping to fight the Premier League champion. It was just to stir up the enthusiasm of the Burnley fans and a fire in the hearts of the Burnley players. Never thought of actually fighting Blackburn.

Blackburn's Premier League title last year was definitely the real deal, and Burnley was not in their eyes at all.

When George went to the training ground the next day, he found that the atmosphere at the club was completely different. Especially the veterans have a very positive attitude.

"Carl, it looks like Blackburn has stimulated quite a few of us." George shook his head and smiled.

Carl snorted, his eyebrows up. "George, it's not like you're unaware of the conflict between our two clubs. Have you forgotten how they humiliated us in '91? Carl, who had always been uninhibited, had a clear expression.

"In '91, I didn't have long to be at the club. That kind of shameful thing, of course, has not been forgotten. George was also very angry when he mentioned that incident. That happened in '91.

Blackburn Rovers returned to the First Division in 1991 under Dalglish, while Burnley were relegated to the fourth tier of England. At the end of the season, Burnley, who are sixth in the league, faced Torquay United in the first round of the promotion play-offs, and Blackburn fans actually rented a helicopter to fly over Burnley's home stadium Turnfort Stadium. ”

This incident can be said to have deeply stimulated all Burnley fans, but unfortunately Burnley did not have any confidence to refute it at that time. Blackburn Rovers were promoted to the top flight, while Burnley struggled in the fourth tier.

Blackburn Rovers went from strength to strength and eventually won the Premier League title last season. Burnley, on the other hand, is in the midst of many disasters and ups and downs, and is still wandering in the second division this season.

Compared to George Levy, who was born and raised in Burnley, Carl Pat is not a Burnley fan. It's just that Karl couldn't find a job in the top flight, so he found Burnley. But after so many years, Carl also has feelings for Burnley.

"George, although we decided to give up the cup and focus on the league. But this time we can't afford to give up. Let the Blackburn bastards know that Lancashire still has a Burnley team. Karl, who had always been mild-mannered, was foaming at the mouth and had a hideous expression on his face.

Looking at Karl shaking his fists and looking at the enthusiasm of the players on the training pitch even more than usual, George knew that this was a game that could not be abandoned.

Intellectually speaking, such a chicken rib game certainly needs to be abandoned. But George knew that he couldn't do this no matter what, and it was about the honor of a team, a neighborhood, a city, or even a class!

The reason why football is the number one sport in the world is because football has infinite passion. Whereas, a derby is a game that concentrates all the elements of football.

Why were Manchester City able to beat Manchester United 3-1 at home in the year they returned to the Premier League? Could it be that they are better than Manchester United? Obviously impossible! Is it just the word "derby" that inspires them? It also includes countless years of opposing hatred.

"Hmph, Carl. You're right, since it's Blackburn Rovers who have drawn it with us, let them see what our Burnley are capable of. George also spoke murderously.

George has been in this world for ten years and has always grown up in Burnley. Under the influence of parents, relatives and friends, he is also a fan of Burnley. Naturally, they are quite bored with Blackburn, and it is not a bad thing to take this opportunity to play with them.

…………

It may have been Blackburn Rovers who spurred on the Burnley players, who won all of their next three games. Of course, the most amazing thing is that Burnley scored eleven goals in those three games.

With the league going on for two months, the run-in of the Burnley team has become more and more mature and the cooperation is getting better and better.

Although Burnley's attack relied too heavily on Poboski's right flank, one right flank has already broken down all the second division teams. Poboski scored an astonishing four goals and six assists in five games this month.

So far, Burnley have won nine consecutive games in the English Second Division, seven points behind second-placed Swindon and dominated.

In September, George won the English Second Division Manager of the Month award for the second time. Poboski also won the Second Division Player of the Month award for the second time in a row.
