"George, come here. This is a dish I made especially for you, and you can see that this table is your favorite food. Old York's muscles shook, and George looked at Old York like a legendary football hooligan.

George sat down and saw that it was indeed George's favorite breakfast made by York today. "Thank you, Uncle York."

"Don't thank me, it's your first time leading the team today. You can rest assured that our residents will be there to support you. You can't let us down. Old York laughed heartily, and patted George on the shoulder. George, I've always believed in you. You will surely lead Burnley to new miracles. ”

George nodded, glad that someone was so supportive. "By the way, what about Little York? They're not on vacation. ”

"I don't know, I'm out early in the morning." Old York didn't talk much about the game with George, it was George's first game. Old Yorke didn't want to put too much pressure on George, unlike the rest of the Burnley fans. Old York grew up watching George, so he had a special feeling.

After eating, George left the house early. "George, morning. Be sure to do your best today, and I'll definitely be there to support you. ”

"Burns, thank you. You can trust me. "Parkin, early. Rest assured, I won't let you down. "George has lived in this area for six years and is quite familiar with many people here. This was especially true when George became the manager of Burnley's team.

"George, get in the car. I'll send you there. Just as George kept greeting people, a taxi pulled up in front of George.

"Thank you, John." George smiled and got into the car.

The bearded driver, laughing. "George, I think I'm going to thank you. I heard that Daniel was going to be in the starting lineup, so thank you so much. If it weren't for your insistence, Daniel wouldn't have been in the club's first team. This bearded man is John Morrison, the father of Daniel Morrison, who George single-handedly promoted from the youth team. Daniel is very tall, 1.87 meters, but Daniel's father is only about 1.7 meters.

"John, I should thank you. Having given birth to such a wonderful son, I am here to guarantee that Daniel will be in the England squad in a few years' time. "Burnley is not very big, it's only a few minutes away from Talfermore.

"George, what are you doing here. How can I ask for your money, you take it back. Just take it as if I thank you. When he got out of the car, George paid John the fare, and John quickly refused.

George didn't care about that, and just shoved it into John's hand. 'John, you don't want to be reported in the newspapers a few years later that the former Burnley manager was taking advantage of young players' families to promote young players. I still want to be a coach for a long time. ”

August 16, 1995, Fermore Stadium.

George came to the pitch early to warm up the players. As George stood on the pitch, he suddenly felt that the world was in his hands, although he had played at the Trofmore Stadium before. But George was just a regular coach of the team at that time, and it was a completely different feeling as a head coach today.

Before the game started, George visually measured that there were about 12,000 fans coming to the stadium today. The stadium, which can accommodate more than 22,000 people, is already more than half full, and this result is already very satisfying for George. Burnley is not a big city like London, Leeds or Liverpool, and it is as small as an ant compared to those big cities. With a population of 88,000, even if the whole city were to be dispatched, it would only be enough to fill Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium.

And Burnley's resident income is even more meager, if you want to watch a game in London, especially Highbury, a year's ticket price, if you add the League Cup, FA Cup, Europa League tickets, then Arsenal fans spend more than half of the annual income of Burnley residents to watch the game for a year. This can also be seen in the income of Burnley residents.

In such a situation, more than 10,000 fans can enter the stadium and George understands the loyalty of England fans even more. Throughout Lancashire there are countless clubs from Burnley, Blackburn, Blackpool, Preston and Mornington Stanley. Blackburn has a population of only 140,000, while Burnley has 88,000.

But the good thing about being poor is that the fans are very passionate. At that time, Professor Arsene Wenger complained that Highbury's fans had too little passion. The fans in Highbury are quite gentle, and the fans who watch the game there are basically polite white-collar workers. The fans just watched the game politely, and the players didn't feel too much passion when they played.

But Burnley's fans are different, their fans are crazy and passionate. A group of crazy fans has the potential to infect more crazy and loyal fans, which can also affect the performance of the players and make their belief in winning even stronger! A good home stadium is absolutely unthinkable for the team to contribute.

"Today is our first game in the second division and we have to start a new journey. Everyone has to work together, and this year there is only one goal, which is to return to the first division. We can't be satisfied with going back to the first division, but no matter how big the goal, we have to take it one step at a time. Now the second division is our first step. "George was in the dressing room, doing the final mobilization.

George finally said fiercely: "This is the first game, and the only thing I want is to win." I just want to win. Would you like to play in the second division all the time? ”

"I don't want to."

"Yes, I don't want to. We should be in League One, in the Premier League, and we have to win one game at a time for that. It was our first game in the second division and our first game at Ferfermore. There are 10,000 fans out there watching us and I won't allow defeat. Do you understand? ”

"Understood." Half of today's starters were brought in by George himself. And they are all relatively young, and they are easily encouraged by George.

"Okay, I'll now specify our opponents." George has the most detailed information about the opponent in the first game. George has always believed in the saying that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles. "It's going to be a game where you have to attack and break the opponent. Swindon were relegated from the First Division like us, and are higher up than us in the First Division. They are the favourites to be promoted this year. George was actually very unhappy with the FA's arrangement, allowing Burnley to face such a strong opponent in the first game.

"Swindon's strength isn't their offense, it's their defense. In particular, the four men in the back line have been working together for many years, and the defense can have a number one even in the first division. But they also have a big problem defensively, which is that the defenders are too old. Karel, the left-back who was opposite you today is in good position and fit, but the turn and speed are the biggest disadvantages. I have only one request for you, to keep pounding him with speed. ”

"Richard, I have only one request for you. Pin down their rear and give them maximum pressure with your impact. Then create chances for Huckby and Michael in the back. George drew on the board what Richard should do, and then told Darren Harkby and Michael Barlack how to attack.

"Michael, Swindon's defenders are very accurate and very reasonable. That's why you need a long shot and don't hesitate when you get the chance. ”

…………

When the on-site commentator shouted out the Burnley player list one by one, they were greeted with a lot of cheers. Although more than half of the starting list was made up of newcomers, it was still greeted with huge cheers. It wasn't until Mitchell King's name came out that the cheers of the audience suddenly increased several times. It can also be seen how much Burnley fans love the old captain.

But what made George angry the most was that when George came out, he was the smallest of all the cheers. This made George very dissatisfied, and he was able to hire himself as a manager, not knowing that it was a blessing that Burnley had cultivated in several lifetimes. Ignoring me like this, George was secretly determined to conquer the Turf Moor Stadium.

"George, George." In the middle of the crowd, there was a beautiful little girl who kept calling George's name.

"Miranda, Miranda." The companion who came with her quickly pulled her to sit down. "Miranda, do you see that everyone around you is looking at you? You don't seem to have much interest in football, I remember you were watching a game for the first time. ”

"So what, today is the first time Brother George has played with the team. I've got to cheer him on. Miranda ignored the people next to her, shouting George's name at her own leisure. I'm going to watch the game every day. ”

"Miranda, do you like George?" Miranda's companion asked her suspiciously.
