'George, now we have the Carabao Cup, the FA Cup and the Qualifying Cup. What are you going to do with the cup competition? Carl Pat took the schedule and asked George what he was going to do.

Unlike the English First Division, Second Division and Premier League, the league schedule is already very dense. But the FA Cup and League Cup are also played earlier than the Super League. With the Qualifying Cup, it can be said that in a year's time, there will be 50 of these lower league club games, to say the least. That's definitely a lot of games.

George sat comfortably on the couch in his office, squinting for a moment. "Karl, what do you think is the current state of development in the English league?" Hearing Carl's question, there was no positive answer.

'The development of the English league is generally very good, and I don't think the Premier League will be able to return to the heyday of League One. But in a few years' time, it should be no problem to compete with Serie A and La Liga. 'Karl is still very confident about the future of the Premier League. Serie A is now the centre of European football, but I don't think that will last. ”

George looked up at Carl and said disapprerovingly, "Carl, you can't talk nonsense. Serie A is known as the 'Little World Cup', and the world's best players are now in Italy. ”

"George, you don't have to provoke me. In fact, you know what it is. Serie A can be so hot now, it is completely supported by the owner behind the club. Now none of the Serie A clubs is operating at a loss, and once the Italian economy has a turbulence, those football clubs will definitely not be able to bear it. Carl appears confident in these analyses. Premier League clubs have their own stadiums, but Italian law still does not allow private ownership of stadiums. In this regard, Italian clubs lag behind Premier League clubs by a lot. ”

George jumped to his feet and pointed at Carl. "Carl, you don't actually have to be a coach. You'd better be a football commentator. "Because George understands the things of the future, he understands that the decline of Serie A is inevitable.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, Serie A clubs were able to stand tall in European football with their deep heritage, but after the phonegate scandal, the Italian league was completely declined. Not only is it difficult to match the Premier League and La Liga, but even the Bundesliga has surpassed Serie A, and there is the French Ligue 1 behind it.

But Karl was able to discover the decline of Serie A in 1995, when the Italian league was still in full swing, and his vision was definitely unusual.

"Karl, you know the future of the Premier League is bright. You said that if our club were in the Premier League, then the annual income would be dozens or hundreds of times what it is now. When we get to the Premier League we will have the opportunity to play in the Europa League, you say what a temptation it is. "That's what George said." The League Cup and the FA Cup are very tempting. But do you think we're going to win the League Cup and FA Cup? As long as you are not the champion, even if you achieve any results in the cup, you will fail. ”

George got up from the couch and said with certainty: "I will definitely chase after the League Cup and FA Cup." But not now, I only have one goal now. It is to lead the team to promotion, first to the first division, and finally to the super league. As for the qualifying cup, the results of the youth team are what they can achieve. ”

Karl nodded. "So what are you going to ......do in the second round of the League Cup?"

"Let's mix the main substitutions. Watford are also not serious about the Carabao Cup, and they are now busy with relegation. ”

…………

It may have been the recent six-game winning streak by Burnley that has stimulated the market, with 17,000 fans coming to Tivmore today. With a capacity of more than 20,000 people, the attendance rate of the Fullmore Stadium today is almost 80 percent.

A small town like Burnley, with just over 80,000 people, has 17,000 people today. One of the five arrived at the stadium today, feeling the incessant shouting of the Burnley fans and a faint smile on George's face.

George smiled when he got the Watford list. Watford were really crisp, basically sending very young players. It seems that Watford really don't take the League Cup seriously, or despise Burnley.

However, George did not fully put on the bench, and there were some main players among them. For example, what Ballack needs now is to play, and only more games will allow him to accumulate more experience.

As the host calls out the names of one player after another, the cheers will follow the frequency of the host. When George's name was called, the audience suddenly shouted in unison, "George, George." ”。

George appeared on the field, saluting the fans with his hands together, and received several times more cheers than the previous cry. George is very happy, after more than a month, six victories George has conquered this group of fans.

The Watford coach looked at the young coach who was so beloved by the fans and smiled at his assistant coach. "It seems that this young coach is really not easy. Listen to the cheers, I've never gotten such cheers as a coach. ”

"Are you going to say hello to him?" The assistant coach nodded and said to him. "I should go over and say hello, and I'm really curious about this twenty-seven-year-old young coach." With that, Glenn Rodell walked up to George.

"Hello, Coach Levy." Glenn Rodell graciously approached George and shook his hand. "Coach Levy is so young."

"Hello, Coach Rodel." George looked at the now personable Glenn Rodell and sneered in his heart. If I hadn't seen him today, I wouldn't have remembered him. The coach is a veritable unlucky guy to be honest, or a veritable scourge for the club.

Previously, George had a good view of West Ham United, who had produced superstars such as Rio Ferdinand, Joe Cole, Michael Carrick, Defoe and Glen Johnson. So I also paid more attention to West Ham United, but I didn't expect that in 2003, West Ham United was relegated.

West Ham were coached by the hapless Glenn Rodell in front of them, and since the Premier League adopted a 38-game format, West Ham's 42 league points are the highest of any relegated team. George was therefore a little curious about Glenn Rodell and looked up his information. Only then did he find out that this unfortunate manager led the team to relegation not only for the first time, but also led Watford from the first division to the second division when he was in charge of Watford.

Later, he coached Twist Asser, and in one year, he brought out a record of Twist Askar. Not a great record, of course, but five consecutive games without scoring for seven hours and 51 minutes at home, the team's worst record since 1951.

Therefore, George used to look down on Glenn Rodel very much, or had a very bad impression of him. But I didn't expect to see me today, Rodell is so personable. Speaking unhurriedly, giving George a feeling of spring breeze.

Back on the bench, George shook his head. It seems that good people and good coaches cannot be equated.

George's idea today is simple, victory is better than elimination. Even if it is a win, it will be a burden for Burnley, and George has no young players to work on. Even if you make the cut, it's just a burden.

But George couldn't tell the players that I gave up on this game. George can't do such a thing, and George wants to instill in them the spirit of never giving up on the game.

So in today's lineup, George rotated a lot of players. Up front, Poboski, Darren Hackby and Danny Murphy are all on the bench.

…………

"Toot-" George stood up with a wry smile as the referee blew the final whistle. George has already used more than half of the benches, but Watford are more straightforward. Almost to put the youth team on the pitch, Burnley beat Watford 3-1 to reach the third round of the Carabao Cup thanks to two goals from Richard Broady and a long-range strike from Ballack.

"Congratulations, Coach Levy." The ball was lost, but Glenn Rodell didn't look frustrated.

George shook his head with a wry smile. "Coach Rodel, I don't really have much interest in the League Cup."
