The win over Blackburn Rovers boosted the morale of Burnley. Three days later, they returned to their home stadium with a 7-0 win over Blackpool, also from Lancashire. Blackpool have also been in the lower leagues for so many years, and they are not as grudges as Blackburn and Burnley. So although it is also considered one of the Lancashire derby, the smell of gunpowder is not so strong.

Daniel, who performed well in the last game, showed amazing form once again in this game, scoring a goal and assisting a goal. Ballack scored his first career hat-trick, while Poborski also scored two goals and Darren Hackby scored one.

George's Burnley side have won 10 consecutive league games and are top of the table with 30 points. They are nine points above second-placed Swindon and fourteen points behind Burnley in third.

Burnley's excellent form has convinced all critics that they have secured a promotion spot in the second division this season.

But in the next two games, George began to make big rotations. The current Burnley main squad is very strong, and in the past two months, George has not had much rotation in order to run in the main lineup.

Now the results are so good, and the run-in of the main squad is also very good. So George started to rotate some players, and there were a lot more games in the second division than in the Premier League. Not only is there also the League Cup, the FA Cup, and even the Qualifying Cup. Even the league has 46 games, which is a full eight more than the Premier League.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to play the league with a set of lineups, and you must need good substitutes in the long league. Burnley's squad is strong at the moment, but the bench has not been tested.

However, as soon as the rotation began, the drawbacks of George's first time as coach began to emerge.

George had big problems with his results and the substitutions in his main body, first being held to a 1-1 draw at home to Bournemouth and then losing 1-0 away.

In the past, there would have been a lot of newspapers that had made irresponsible comments about George, but now even the Blackburn Evening News has not done enough to deal with Burnley's results. George happened to be in his office reading the Sun with a newspaper.

Although he hated the Sun, the influence of The Sun in England was recognized by George.

"Turbulent Blackburn!"

"I have just received news that Ray Shaforte, who has just become Blackburn head coach this season, has confirmed his resignation. Dalglish, who was promoted to director of football this season, took over on an interim basis. ”

This news made George stunned for a moment, George was a fan in his last life, but he clearly remembered that Blackburn fell into the first division after the 98-99 season. That is, he was relegated after winning the championship four years later.

As the first team to win the Premier League title other than Manchester United, the rate of depravity is absolutely staggering. So at that time, I took a brief look at Blackburn's history and knew that although this Ray Shafort had average results, he also worked as a head coach for a year and a half. How could he resign so quickly.

But after thinking about it, George still understood. This also has a lot to do with himself, who led Burnley to a 3-0 win over Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park. It was a big blow to Blackburn, and the next two Premier League games were all lost.

This led directly to the resignation of Ray Shafort, and it seems that the butterfly effect has begun. But George didn't feel anything about what happened to Ray Shafort, the world is like that. You have good grades, and some people praise you. But once the grades are not good, then disappearing is the only option.

However, it also happened to be Blackburn's change of manager, a Blackburn who was the Premier League champion last season, and this season is really troubled. All the media are staring at it, and there is no media to disturb Burnley's preparation plans.

After two games, George began to carefully choose his rotation lineup. You don't rotate too much in a game, you rotate gradually.

Burnley have a total of 14 fixtures until Christmas, including 12 league games and one Carabao Cup fourth round and FA Cup first round.

Burnley drew Aston Villa in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup, with George fielding all the substitutes to lose to Aston Villa. However, with a third-round win over Blackburn Rovers in the Carabao Cup, Burnley's Carabao Cup campaign this year has been perfect.

Burnley were also unlucky in the first round of the FA Cup, not bumping into teams from the amateur league, but against Gillingham in the English third division. George sent on the bench and youth team again and was eliminated by Gillingham in the third division.

Burnley have already been eliminated from all two major domestic cup competitions, although there is still a qualifying cup. But this kind of garbage cup competition, George doesn't like it at all. Although Burnley is a little down, it is also a team that has won the top league title. Something like the Qualifying Cup simply doesn't carry the weight.

In the league, Burnley are unbeatable. Eight wins, three draws and one loss in 12 matches. In the 24 games in the second division, 18 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses, with 58 points, ranked first. Second-placed Swindon have 51 points, seven behind Burnley.

Third place in the second division is Oxford United, with only 46 points, a full twelve points behind Burnley.

The game before Christmas is completely over. Unlike other national leagues, the English league does not have a winter break. However, there are still a few days off before and after Christmas.

"Merry Christmas, Brother George. This is my gift to you. George was not alone at all, because every year George spent the festival with the Yorkie family. After the celebration, Miranda gave George a carefully prepared gift.

"Thank you, little York. This is my gift to you. "George himself is not interested in Christmas, but the locals follow the customs, and the British celebrate Christmas, and George can't be unique." Uncle York, I'm sorry for you today. ”

Almost everyone has returned to their homes, but Ballack, Klose and Poboski have stayed at the club. So George invited the trio to spend Christmas together.

"It's okay, it's okay, I don't know how happy I am to be able to invite Barak and Pobosky. You go over and get busy. Old York was very cheerful, but he missed the fact that there was also a Klose.

George nodded, and went to see the three young men. Of the three of them, the most beautiful one is Pobosky right now. Poboski has become the brightest star in the English second division, scoring 12 goals and 14 assists in half a year. Burnley has even been approached by teams in the upper leagues, but George has been gritting his teeth.

George knows it will be difficult for Burnley to keep Poborski once next year's European Championship is over. But then Pobosky's worth will be very different.

However, the most important and favorite of the whole team George is none other than Ballack, who is inconspicuous under the light of Pobosky. But at just 19 years old, Ballack is the absolute heart of George's team. There are already seven goals and six assists.

Only Klose was the loneliest. Of the eight players that George brought in in in the summer, only Klose was a substitute, and the others were all the main players. Klose has scored just one goal so far, starting only once in the FA Cup.

"Merry Christmas, I've already said it, but I think it's important to say it to you again." George walked in with a smile. 'This is my first Christmas as manager of the club. I'm very happy that next Christmas our club will be playing in League One. The year after that, we'll be in the Premier League. ”

"Yes, head. I think the same way, our club shouldn't be in the second division. Pobosky's surname is also introverted, but once he gets acquainted with him, he will speak much more freely.

"Yes, exactly. We can beat a Premier League title like Blackburn Rovers and the Premier League is where we should be. George said very boldly.

"Michael, Karel, don't go wild, if you let me know, you'll have to stay on the bench." After a full meal, Barak and Pobosky left.

"Miro, haven't you been a little depressed lately?" George patted Klose on the shoulder, and Klose was much thinner than he was a year ago.

Klose shook his head and said firmly, "No, head." I feel like I've improved a lot lately. ”

"Miro, if you want to succeed, you have to go through this story. Keep it as it is, and your future is limitless. Looking at Klose, George seemed to see the main striker of the German team who had killed all sides in the World Cup.

George suddenly felt that Klose believed in himself so much that if Klose could not surpass the achievements of his previous life in the future, he was committing a crime.
