39 Unruly Genius (Part II)

All the players in the locker room were smiling because of the 2-0 score. With a majority of Burnley's squad now playing in English One for the first time, they are all thrilled to be able to lead by two goals on the road in their first game.

After the end of the first half, the players started talking and laughing. And Ljungberg, who scored a goal, looked up at Norwich with disdain, and then entered the dressing room. Seeing Ljungberg George raise his eyebrows and a gloomy face.

After the players who talked and laughed saw George's face, they were a little inexplicable. It's a good situation now, two goals ahead of Norwich, how can George still have such an expression.

'First of all, I want to commend everyone for their performance, you did a great first half. I am very satisfied. Although he was angry, George praised the players first. As long as we keep the momentum going now, we'll be a Premier League team next season and you'll be Premier League players. ”

George's words made the players who were still puzzled just now breathe a sigh of relief.

"Frederick, you remember what I told you." Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, George's stern tone rang out in the locker room.

Ljungberg was stunned and looked at George suspiciously.

Seeing Ljungberg's expression, George didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Ljungberg's expression made it clear to George that he had no idea what he was wrong with. In other words, when he was in the warm-up game, he said so much, and Ljungberg didn't listen to a word.

"Frederick, how many people are playing football?" George suddenly stretched his brow and asked very calmly. But Carl Pat and Daniel Morrison in the dressing room were cowering because George's calm was a precursor to an outburst.

"Eleven people." Ljungberg also understood that George was dissatisfied with himself, but still answered indifferently.

George laughed angrily. "You also know that football is an eleven-man sport and you know you wasted a couple of chances today. Haven't you ever learned what passing is since you were a child, or do you not know what it means to pass the ball? "If you talk about the goal in the penalty area, you can also say that Ljungberg has a strong shot. Some forwards and wingers just need to shoot hard and have confidence.

But now Ljungberg is not only very alone in the penalty area, even on the flanks he rarely cooperates. In addition to the breakthrough is a breakthrough, this is what George is most dissatisfied with.

George was so angry, all the players stayed quietly, and no one dared to speak out.

"Frederick, I'll tell you one last time. Football is an eleven-man sport, you have to know what coordination is and what teamwork is. Even Pele and Maradona didn't beat one team alone. It's going to need help from other players as well. "George, this is the last chance to give Ljungberg.

Ljungberg did not speak, not reacting to George's words in the slightest.

George ignored him and then began to explain the tactics of the second half.

…………

In the second half, Norwich wanted to attack. Unfortunately, with Ballack and Neil Lennon playing well in the midfield position, and Frank Lampard's sweep up front, Norwich completely lost ground in midfield.

Ballack used his precise long ball to mobilize Burnley's attack.

Fifty-six minutes into the second half, Ljungberg got the ball. After getting rid of the defenders with excellent technique, he began to run along the right side. Norwich's left-back was blown out by Ljungberg, so this time it was very careful to defend Ljungberg.

Norwich's midfielders also came to defend, while Frank Lampard also came to pick up Ljungberg.

Ljungberg saw Frank Lampard but instead of passing, he started to walk from the outside. Ljungberg is very unhappy with George, let you see how I am doing.

Frank Lampard waved angrily when he saw that Ljungberg was not passing. But Frank Lampard was the best at the work of the profession and was soon in the box to meet Ljungberg's cross.

It's a pity that Ljungberg lost the ball under the defense of two people. After conceding the goal, Ljungberg was angry and pushed directly to Norwich's midfield.

"Danny, change your clothes." George kicked the bottle of mineral water under his feet. "Carl, Frederick doesn't seem to have taken what I said to heart at all."

In the fifty-seventh minute of the second half, George replaced Ljungberg with Danny Murphy, and Ljungberg saw that it was himself and walked to the sideline with a blank face. George didn't care about Ljungberg's feelings, and Ljungberg didn't pay attention to George. As he passed George, Ljungberg took off his shirt and fell to the ground. Then I went straight to the locker room.

"Bastard, does he think I don't dare do anything to him after spending eight hundred thousand pounds." George was even more furious when he saw Ljungberg go straight back to the locker room. "Carl, tell Frederick after the game. From the day after tomorrow, there is no need to report to the first team, let him go directly to the youth team to find Wilkinson. ”

"George, ...... you," Carl Pat looked at George in surprise. Because Carl Pat knows that George is very important to Ljungberg, and Ljungberg is a very important part of George's current lineup.

In midfield, Ballack, Neil Lennon, Frank Lampard and Danny Murphy are not attacking midfielders, but all-round midfielders who can attack and defend. Richard Brody and Kevin Phillips are also forwards who need midfield support, so Ljungberg's ability to break through is very important in George's side.

"I want him to be calm and calm and know what football is and what a team is."

With Danny Murphy on the pitch, Burnley's attacking ability has become noticeably weaker. George quickly replaced Kevin Phillips with Ashley Chapman. Ashley Chapman was promoted by George from the youth team and his skills are good among English players. It's just that the body is too thin and afraid of impact, so he can only be a substitute.

George's request for Ashley Chapman was simple, to control the ball with great technique and then to create set-pieces up front as much as possible. In addition to Burnley's quick attack, set-pieces are also a must.

Towards the end of the game, Richard Brody received a free-kick to head Burnley's third goal of the game. In the end, Burnley beat Norwich City 3-0 away in the first round of the English League One to get their first win in the English First Division.

…………

The three-0 score made Burnley very happy up and down. In particular, Burnley's dominance in the game made many other First Division teams feel threatened.

However, Ljungberg, who scored a goal in the first game, was probably the most unhappy, as Ljungberg had just returned to the club when he was notified by Karl Pat. Before realizing his mistake, Ljungberg was sent to the youth team by George.
