96 Footsteps of the Premier League (Part I)

After breaking up with Amic, George called her several times. But the two also had conflicting views on the phone, and although George endured it every time, the conversation between the two always ended in nothing.

George knew that Emic had his own plans, but George didn't want to let Emic dictate his work. As a result, the relationship between the two was never restored to the beginning.

However, George has no time to go to meet with Emic, because the league is about to start.

At the end of the 39th round of League One, Burnley's lead reached 15 points. Although the morale of the Burnley players is high right now, George can't use them to death. In April, Burnley have a total of seven games to play.

On April 5th, Burnley had already played a game. There are six games left, almost double games a week. No matter how good the physical strength of the Burnley players is, it is impossible for them to accept such a high-intensity game.

So four days later, in League One, George changed most of his main players. Even Jaskelanine sat on the bench, and although the substitutes worked hard, they lost the game 0-1 despite their lack of strength.

Just three days later, Burnley were at home to Ipswich Town. Ipswich were relegated to the First Division when George first became Burnley manager. I have been working tirelessly for the past few years to get promoted to the Super League.

Ipswich are currently six in League One with two points clear of Birmingham City. Sixth place is a dividing line, with third to sixth places eligible for the promotion play-offs, so Ipswich and Birmingham are now very competitive for a place in the promotion play-offs.

Fifth-placed Charlton are seven points above sixth-placed Ipswich Town, and the margin is huge. So both Ipswich and Birmingham know that if they want to participate in the promotion play-offs, they can only fight for sixth place.

Of course, George didn't have time to pay attention to Ipswich's position, and George's purpose in this game was very clear. It was for the sake of three points, and George's disciples did not disgrace George. At home, they won 4-1 with a clean score of 4-1.

With Birmingham's victory in the 41st round, Ipswich fell to seventh place, relinquishing sixth place. The battle for the final play-off spot suddenly became fierce.

Although both games, Nottingham Forest and Middlesbrough have won both games. But with only five games remaining, Burnley are 13 points clear of third-placed Middlesbrough. Thirteen points is a moat, and no one believes that Middlesbrough can cross it.

Burnley's upgrade is a sure thing.

Fresh after playing Ipswich Town, Burnley hosted Birmingham City at home.

Speaking of Birmingham's attitude before this game, Birmingham fans are quite hated for George and Burnley. Birmingham also had a chance to make the promotion play-offs last year, but were beaten down by George. Then he was ridiculed by George, and Liang Zi was finished.

However, in the last game, Burnley faced Ipswich Town. All the Birmingham fans are secretly cheering for Burnley, hoping that Burnley can help Birmingham beat Ipswich Town. Burnley was indeed very competitive, and directly beat Ipswich down.

Allowed Birmingham to overtake Ipswich Town and move into the top six.

…………

"It's the forty-second round of League One and Burnley are hosting Birmingham. There's a lot to see in this game. First of all, from Burnley's point of view, if this game is drawn or won, no matter what happens to Nottingham Forest and Middlesbrough, Burnley can be promoted to the Super League early. League One will also produce the first team to be promoted. ”

"And for Birmingham, this game must not be abandoned. Birmingham City and Ipswich Town are battling it out for the final promotion play-off spot, and any remaining games now will be a crucial battle for Birmingham. ”

In the 42nd round of League One, Burnley faced Birmingham City at the Tivmore Stadium.

Speaking of which, Birmingham and Burnley have not had any grievances for hundreds of years, but because at the end of last season, Burnley not only broke Birmingham's hopes of promotion, but was also ridiculed by George. The relationship between Burnley and Birmingham suddenly became strained, and Birmingham fans also hated George and Burnley very much.

In the first game of the season, Burnley were away to Birmingham. Birmingham fans wanted to teach George and Burnley a good lesson, but they didn't expect to swallow four goals again.

This time at the Tivmore Stadium, Birmingham wanted to get points, but they also knew it would be even more difficult. Burnley's strength is the best in the whole of League One, which is recognised by everyone.

Burnley fans have also inherited George's vitriol, and they are all singing as they see the Birmingham players warming up on the pitch. "We're going to the Premier League soon! Burnley are League Cup winners! If you want to go to the Premier League, you asked us first, bla-la-la-la! You'd better stay in League One! ”

This song is the lightest, and some of the songs are downright insulting to Birmingham.

"Get down on your knees and beg us, if we're in a good mood, we might be able to get you in the promotion play-offs! Come on, come on! Come and beg us! ”

In the south stand of Burnley, there was even a very large banner. "We are in the Premier League next season! Stay in League One forever! ”

Of course, ridiculing Birmingham is just a small episode in the cheering of Burnley fans, and the current Burnley fans are much more ambitious. How to say that the current Burnley is also the winner of the League Cup, and it has the best share with a League One team like Birmingham.

Anyway, Burnley will soon be leaving this hated League One and will soon become a Premier League team.

"Why, I see you're all a little nervous." George laughed and spoke in the locker room.

Although they are both League Cup winners, they are excited to become Premier League players soon.

"The Premier League, the dream for all of us. Some of you have been with me since three years ago and said on my first day in office that we at Burnley shouldn't be wasting our time in this damn lower league. Our goal is the Premier League, Europe. ”

"Now that we're about to accomplish this goal, why are you nervous?"

In fact, not only the players, but also George was a little nervous. Even more nervous than in the League Cup final. Although the League Cup title is also important, the Premier League is what George aspires to the most. It's only in the Premier League that it's really the sky.

"It's not the head, we're not nervous now, we're excited!" Mitchell stood up and spoke for the other players.

"Okay, just be excited. I'm really sad for Birmingham and why they have to face us at every big moment. I still say the same thing, if Birmingham want to upgrade, they have to ask us Burnley. "Actually, who the opponent is, George doesn't care at all.

I didn't expect Birmingham to always be so unlucky, and at the important moment of competing for the promotion play-offs at the end of the season, they always met George and Burnley, and George couldn't help it. Blame, you can only blame Birmingham for his own bad luck.

"Yes, if Birmingham want to be promoted, they have to ask us Burnley." The Burnley players are all in unison.

George raised his hand to silence everyone.

"I have only one request for Birmingham. Keeping the rhythm of our own football, Birmingham are simply not our opponents. After winning this game, we went to the Premier League together and stopped playing against a team of Birmingham's level. We've been in the Premier League with Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal! George is tired of struggling in the lower leagues, and it's even more fun to play against the likes of Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger.

"That's right! Right! We're going to the Premier League! ”
