46 Great situation

After the win over Bolton, Burnley will have a devilish fixture on their way.

The second round of the Carabao Cup was the first to come, but this time Burnley were lucky. It's York City in League Two, and it's an easy opponent.

From the tenth round of the English League One, Burnley will meet Wolves, Portsmouth, Queens Park Rangers, and Manchester City four teams in succession. All four teams are promotion favourites in League One this season.

Many commentators have commented on Burnley's progress if they make it through the Devil's schedule, then the road to promotion will be smooth sailing. But failing here could well be a turning point for the season.

George also attaches great importance to the game in this month or so, and George has set his sights on the Premier League early. The hateful League Two and League One, George didn't want to stay a minute longer.

The win over Bolton gave Burnley a boost of morale. On September 22, Burnley went to York City away.

It was a second-round match in the English League Cup, and George rotated a lot of people, including Ballack on the bench. And Mitchell and Kevin Phillips didn't even make the squad.

They are still very familiar with York City, having played against them twice last season. York City is a weak team in League Two, and although George is a half-main and half-substitute team, he still played York City with a score of 2-0. Successfully qualified for the third round of the League Cup.

Burnley then went to Molinox Stadium to challenge Wolves, who are currently second in League One.

As the head coach of a League One club, George knows Wolves very well. After all, Wolves have been a strong team in League One in recent years, and they are the favorites for promotion almost every year.

However, they have won three in a row and have just beaten Bolton Wanderers in the league to Burnley, winning cleanly 3-0 at Molinox Stadium. Ljungberg, who was released from George's ban and returned, performed bravely in this game. With a one-shot and one-pass performance, he proved that he was completely capable of replacing the departing Poboski.

And George's post-match press conference did not give Wolves and the media face at all. 'There's a very bad phenomenon in English football at the moment where you usually have to compare history before a game. Let's see who has the better history, and then evaluate the wins of both teams. I think the so-called experts who support this view have some problems in their heads. I suggested they go to the hospital for a full brain exam. If historical results are so important, wouldn't it be better for everyone to show the history of their respective clubs and see who is more brilliant and decide who wins?"

Before the game, many media used historical records to look forward to this game. George was amused, but he didn't speak. waited until victory before going mad at them.

Wolves have a more illustrious history than Burnley, especially in the 50s, when Wolves reached their highest point of existence, winning the FA Cup in 1949 under legendary coach Curris and winning the top flight three times in 1954, 58 and 59.

This has always been the pride of Wolves, and it was very fierce before the game. In George's view, Wolves' reaction is a sign of weakness, and only a weak-hearted person would be so hysterical.

"If a team lives in history every day, what development can it have. What is the substance, what is the use of a team in the second division, even if you have thirty top league titles. Only those clubs that don't have any goals will lie down and sing in the credit book every day. ”

George didn't care what the media said afterwards, Burnley were now on the right track. With back-to-back wins over the top two in League One, Burnley's performances have already caught all the media attention.

…………

However, George's remarks were still greatly criticized by the media. Because George's words are directed at those old clubs in England.

In the current English leagues at all levels, the history is extremely glorious, but in reality there are many clubs that have fallen into decline. What they can talk about in these clubs is the glory they once had.

George denounced those clubs this time, they are a group of clubs without goals. How is it possible not to get those clubs angry.

Criticism of the young coach has been overwhelming, accusing him of not respecting the traditions of English clubs.

But what George couldn't stand the most was this point of the British. They seem to be living in Britain during the Empire 200 years ago, and they always think very highly of themselves. This is true for the British, and even more so for the British fans. Many clubs are already struggling in the lower leagues, so those fans are immersed in the club's past glory every day.

George ignored the criticism of himself in the media, regardless of how they scolded him. As long as the Burnley fans can continue to support themselves, as long as they continue to win, they can do nothing no matter how fierce they scream.

On September 26, in the 11th round of the English League, Burnley waited for Portsmouth at home. Portsmouth are now fifth in League One with just one point less than Burnley. Amid the media outcry over George, Burnley beat Portsmouth 2-0 thanks to two goals from Kevin Phillips.

On September 30, in the twelfth round of the English League, Burnley hosted Queen's Rangers Park. Queen's Rangers Park were a strong side in relegation from the Premier League last season and favourites for promotion from League One this season. It's a pity that after the start of this season, the results were average. Now it's just seventh in League One.

Burnley did not miss this opportunity at home, winning a clean 3-1 victory over Queen's Rangers Park. The goal conceded was a face-saving goal from Queen's Rangers Park when they mislinked the backline with youngsters Matthew Upson and Gary Breen.

On October 6, the thirteenth in League One, Burnley challenged Manchester City away. Manchester City are also a team that has just been relegated to the First Division, and they did well in the Premier League last season. At least they did better than Bolton Wanderers and Queens Park Rangers, but unfortunately after reaching the First Division, they are now only in 11th place.

But the third game in ten days left the Burnley players a little tired. So George made a certain rotation and drew 1-1 with Manchester City on the road.

So far, Burnley has won eight and drawn five in 13 rounds, and is at the top of the League One table with 29 points. Bolton Wanderers followed Burnley in second place with 27 points.

Burnley have won four and drawn one of their last five hard-fought games since Bolton. Everyone has seen the quality of Burnley, and the next opponents they will face are almost all teams at the bottom of the First Division.

The media, which had been denouncing George for 10 days, has now changed its mind. It is said that Burnley, led by George, will definitely be promoted to the Super League this season.

"Karl, you know what? I grew up in England, but I couldn't stand the nasty weather in England. George looked at the rain outside in disgust.

The rain in England is the kind that rains constantly, almost half of the year. Although George has been in England for more than ten years, he is still not used to this kind of nasty weather.

Carl Pat laughed. "George, you have a chance to coach Real Madrid or Barcelona. Then we can enjoy the sunny beach. ”

"Anyway, the car I called is here. Carl, do you want me to send you? "In England, you don't get a taxi like you can call a taxi whenever you want. Because the price of gas is too expensive, the only way to take a taxi is to call the taxi company or a familiar driver.

"No, you're not going to a hotel in York. I'm not the same path as you, so let's go first. ”

George nodded and got into the taxi. On the street can be the cause of the rain, there are very few people. But the rain has been very annoying, and it has been falling.

"Dripping ......", "Squeak......", "Bang......"
