48 I'll see

Ljungberg lay in the apartment the club rented to him, staring at the ceiling in a daze. Mitchell's words still had a big impact on Ljungberg.

At first, Ljungberg did feel that he was worth 800,000 pounds, and George would definitely not do anything to himself. And Ljungberg also felt that George didn't know how to play football at all, and he didn't have much qualifications to teach him how to play.

But half a month passed, and George did not react. A month passed, and George still didn't respond. It's been almost two months now, and George still hasn't responded. This made Ljungberg a little worried. The original self-confidence is wearing away little by little.

To this day, after hearing Mitchell's words, Ljungberg could no longer sit still.

If, as Mitchell said, George blocked himself and neither allowed himself to transfer nor let himself play, then it was really going to be scrapped. Four years, for a player there can be several four years. Don't say four years, how many years of a player's professional life is.

Ljungberg suddenly felt helpless in his heart, and he could only apologize to George for the sake of his future.

Ljungberg let out a long sigh of relief, and the thought of going to apologize to George suddenly calmed down. Start looking back at some of the things that followed the move to Burnley.

Ljungberg remembered what George had started saying to himself during the warm-up game, and what George had warned himself in the first game. I used to look down on George, a young coach, and Burnley, a new team in the English League. So I felt that what George said was nonsense, and later deliberately targeted himself.

But when he decided to apologize, Ljungberg found his heart quiet. People are like this, when they are not used to it, they feel that the other party is deliberately targeting themselves. But once you calm down and think about it, there is another answer.

Looking back, George has emphasized the role of the team many times. I corrected my way of playing many times, but I didn't listen to it once. Come to think of it, George gave himself many chances. But every time I didn't take George's words to heart.

And in the first game, when I was changing the field, I passed by George, took off my shirt and threw it on the ground. And without waiting for anyone else, he went straight into the locker room. Such a move is a provocation for any coach.

Thinking about it this way, Ljungberg felt that this conflict was more of his own mistake.

In a daze, Ljungberg thought a lot. When I was very young, I played football with a group of children in Halmstad. Look at Nodal's picture and say "I want to be a world-class player like Nodal". The response was ridicule from them.

On September 16, 1995, Nodal died of a heart attack. The whole of Sweden is honouring the greatest player in Swedish history when Ljungberg was just made to the Halmstad first team. also said such a wish, and got the same ridicule as always.

However, Ljungberg was not discouraged, because Ljungberg was confident in himself. In order to be able to join the giants, he crossed the ocean to England. Ljungberg didn't want to go back like this, he wanted to prove to everyone that he wasn't a braggart.

…………

Although Burnley is now praised by many media, George is very anxious. George doesn't want to waste time in the lower leagues at all, and entering the Premier League a year earlier is a big benefit for Burnley's future.

Burnley's attacking power is very problematic now, and George has also begun to reflect on his team building ideas. Pobosky's success made George a little fluttery, forgetting that flying with both wings was the right way to go.

It wasn't until Ljungberg got into trouble that he realized how fragile Burnley's flanks were.

George is now working with Evan Sawyer on his next match. Because the next game will be the real test for Burnley, who have yet to play against a top-six team in League One so far.

The next game is against Bolton, who are currently top of the Premier League.

"Knock knock" someone knocked softly on the door of George's office.

"Come in."

George didn't look up, but stared at the images of Bolton's games. But the man who came in didn't say anything, so he looked up suspiciously.

The moment he saw the visitor, George was very surprised. Because Ljungberg is standing there.

"Frederick, sit down. What's the matter? George's tone was a little stiff, and George's mood was not very good these days. Now facing Bolton, George has a very bad head now.

Ljungberg didn't sit down, a little squirming, not like he usually was.

"George, you're busy first. I'll go out first. Seeing this, Evan Sawyer smiled and stood up. It is known within Burnley that George has banned the players he has brought in, and he is the most expensive signing in Burnley's history.

Evan Sawyer is very smart, and knows that Ljungberg has a lot of self-esteem, and he probably doesn't want others to see him apologize.

"Yes." George nodded.

It wasn't until Evan Sawyer left the office that Ljungberg apologized. "Head, I'm here to apologize today."

Although it is an apology, the attitude is still hard. George's heart was already happy, as long as he apologized, it was better than anything. But of course, it can't be shown, so George's face is still cold.

"Frederick, you've been at the club for over two months now. It should be known that our club is a small club with limited financial resources. George spoke slowly. But I brought you in for the most expensive transfer price in the club's history. Why do you think that's the case? You don't really think our club has a lot of money and doesn't care about £800,000. ”

Ljungberg did not speak, but listened quietly to George.

"That's because you have all the qualities of a world-class player. But I think I was wrong, a person who doesn't know how to cooperate with the team, how to integrate into a team, he can't succeed. No matter how strong you are, people who don't know how to cooperate will never succeed. George said this to Ljungberg many times, but every time Ljungberg didn't take it to heart.

But today, on a different occasion and in a different mood, Ljungberg listened. I used to think that George's nagging was aimed at me, but today I feel that George's expectations for himself are very good.

"Yes, head." It was the first time since Ljungberg arrived at Burnley that he had taken such a correct attitude.

Looking at Ljungberg's attitude, although George doesn't know if it's a show, it's still from the heart. But with this attitude alone, George is already very satisfied.

"Frederick, I want to tell you. I love to win, and I go for it. But when I build a team, the most important thing is the whole. A team can have a core, it can have stars, but none of them can be above the team. As long as they are on the field, the eleven people have to trust each other and rely on each other to make the team a whole. That's how you can bring out the best in the team. George paused, and saw that Ljungberg was listening to himself very carefully, so he nodded.

"It's only in a team like this that the greatest stars can be born. Frederick, would you like to be a part of this great group? George asked Ljungberg very solemnly.

Ljungberg suddenly looked up at George. "Head, I'm willing to give it a try."

"Yes, Frederick. I'll see. ”
