53 Regression (I)
Young coach George Levy, who was out of the limelight in October last year due to a car accident, has been confirmed to take over the squad in the Burnley and Port Vale games. Previous rumors were that Coach Levy would return to work at the end of the season. But now it seems that Levy is unhappy with Burnley's current situation. ”
"But Coach Levy does have reason to be upset, and Burnley, led by Levy Coach, is a powerhouse in League One. Twenty-nine points from the first 13 rounds topped the League One table. The road to promotion was bright, but Burnley became a team that everyone saw after that. Maybe Coach George just can't get used to Burnley's current look. ”
"But let's be honest, George's return to Burnley at this time doesn't make a difference. With only four league games remaining, Burnley are now neither relegated nor promoted. In such a situation, I really don't understand the significance of George returning to the coach's seat. ”
When George decided to take over Burnley immediately, there were still a lot of media outlets who were concerned about it. After all, Burnley were the favourites for promotion to League One before, but now they have become a team that has no desire.
Burnley's opponents this time around are Port Vale, who are currently eighth in the First Division. It was only nine points away from third place and three points away from sixth place. There is a good chance of getting into the play-offs.
"George? Burnley are not the team they were at the start of the season and we are aiming for the three points. Then finish in the top six and compete in the promotion play-offs. In an interview, the Port Vale coach shouted out his goal.
Many reporters immediately interviewed George Levy, although George is young, but many media reporters are quite fond of George. It's not that George has a good temper, but because George, although he usually speaks softly, will say something that interests reporters very much.
So they believe that after the Port Vale boss provokes George, George will definitely fight back. Surprisingly, however, George simply said a few words about the preparations for the game, without commenting on what the Port Vale boss had to say.
…………
On April 16, in the 43rd round of the English League, Burnley hosted Port Vale.
In the past six months, Burnley has been almost bullied, which has also affected the attendance rate of Fermore Stadium. At the beginning of League One, Burnley were in full swing. Attendance at the Fermore Stadium is at a record high. From the start of the win over Bolton, Burnley's home stadium was full.
It's a pity that George's car accident caused Burnley's grades to plummet.
The people of Burnley are not wealthy in the first place. The income of each family is limited, the game is played in garbage, and of course there are fewer and fewer fans in the stadium.
But today was different, the Trofmore Stadium was already full an hour before the start of the game. There are even many fans around the stadium who have not received their tickets, waiting for someone to refund their tickets. Although this possibility is almost equal to zero, there are still many fans who are looking forward to a miracle.
BBC TV, which broadcast the game live, photographed fans from all directions. They converge into one sea of red after another. The fans in the stadium were already standing up and waving their arms and shouting loudly.
"We have a young magician, he is only twenty-eight years old this year. He was a great magician, and he fought a lot of enemies. Who is he and who is he? He's George, George! ”
Amid the shouts of more than 20,000 fans, the entire Trofmore stadium shook.
Even the fans who didn't get their tickets outside the stadium gathered together and loudly echoed the singing inside the stadium.
The BBC's beautiful journalist, Saira Emic, stood outside the stadium, looking at the camera lens, as loud as she could. So that the crowd can hear their voices: "Burnley fans were the most depressed fans of this time, having slipped from top of League One at the start of the season to 18th. But today they had plenty of reason to be excited, because their hero, their magician, the young Coach Levy was back in the position of head coach. You can look at the fans behind me who didn't buy tickets, and according to my eyes, there should be more than 10,000 people. Today, more than half of the residents of the entire city of Burnley come to the Tivmore Stadium. What kind of pomp and circumstance it was, it looked like the young Coach Levy was really a magician. There's a magic that appeals to you......"
Before he could finish speaking, a fat shirtless man stuck his head in front of the camera. His eyes widened, and he opened his bloody mouth and shouted, "George! George! George! ”
The fat man startled Saila Emic, but soon the fat man left with the others. But Sera Emic didn't come to her senses, because it was April. But it was still very cold on Burnley's side, but the fat man was singing there shirtless.
With a wave of the magic wand, he obediently begged for mercy. He is the magician of Burnley, defending Burnley. George, George, is our magician. We love him, we love him. Because he brought us victory, George, George, we love him. ”
These people sang their own songs, but none of them had any melodies. It's all just a shout.
Wipe her sweat and continue: "We can see how popular the young Levy coach is among Burnley fans. However, Coach Levy deserves to be loved by them, and Burnley's results in his hands speak for themselves. ”
As she spoke, Saila Emic understood what George meant. Why George cares so much about Burnley and wants to succeed at Burnley.
This is a report from BBC correspondent Saila Emic at Burnlit Fullmore Stadium, so watch it out. Thank you! ”
…………
In the home dressing room, Karl Pat is announcing the starting line-up for the game.
"Miller, Steve Finnan, Mitchell King, Gary Brin, Daniel Morrison, Frederick Ljungberg, Neil Rennon, Michael Barrack, Ashley Chapman, Miroslav Klose, Kevin Phillips."
In the aftermath of George's car accident, Redknapp reclaimed Frank Lampard.
It's a shame for Frank Lampard George, who has only just started his use of Lampard. It has not been completely renovated yet.
After announcing the starting list, some people were disappointed, and some people were happy. George clapped his hands, bringing everyone's attention to himself.
"Have you read the newspapers, do you know what the Port Vale boss said? He said he was going to take three points from this game and finish in the top six. Did you hear that, you don't count as a dish in the eyes of people now. You know? I blush for you now, and a Port Vale can despise you like that. This is the report card that you have handed in. ”
"Do you know why I didn't contradict the manager of Port Vale? What kind of team are we at Burnley, we are the team that is going to be promoted to the Super League. Is Port Vale a team at the same level as us? Port Vale is no match for us in my eyes, so I disdain and refute them. ”
"We can't be promoted this season, but we can't watch someone step on us and finish in the top six, right? I really hope that the opponents in the remaining four games are all for promotion. Then we just shattered their dreams one by one. ”
At this point in George's words, even some of the players below laughed.
"Okay, I'll digress a few more words. I'm sure many of you have heard that there will be some personnel changes in the team. But I can tell you clearly here that I have already spoken to you, Mr. President. We're not going to sell players this season because next season our goal is simple, it's to get promoted. ”
"So from now on I'm going to tell you, don't worry about this. I haven't seen you for half a year, and I'm a little stranger to everyone. So I want to get to know you guys again, to perform well, to start, to perform badly, to come off the bench. ”
