"George, relax. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Karl patted George on the shoulder.

George turned to look at Carl and smiled. Now the team's bus is heading to the Trodemore Stadium. Blackburn are playing in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

For most of the current Blackburn players, Burnley are very unfamiliar. And the feud between Blackburn and Burnley is even less understood. It's because Burnley are too weak.

George is in his seventh year at Blackburn. In the past seven seasons, Blackburn Rovers have been a strong team in the Premier League. Even in the Champions League, it is a strong team that all the big clubs are unwilling to face. In recent seasons, no team has outperformed Blackburn Rovers in the Champions League.

And what about Burnley?

Relegation from the Premier League in 00 and relegation from the second tier of England in 02.

The two clubs are not on the same level at all.

Perhaps fans of both sides remember the confrontation between Blackburn Rovers and Burnley. But the current Blackburn players have basically forgotten that Burnley is still Blackburn's century-old rival. Even if you know that you are a century-old enemy, you won't take it to heart.

Even Blanco didn't pay much attention to it.

What about the derby?

Burnley is so weak. With a little push, Blackburn should be able to get through easily.

Only Carl sat next to him, knowing that George's mood could not be calmed at this time.

Regardless of why George left Burnley and why he joined Blackburn? No matter how sensible George is and how calm he is at work. But Carl knew that Burnley must be a deep scar on George's heart.

"It's been almost seven years. Don't worry, I don't have anything to do. ”

Brandon. Frude appealed to Burnley fans to calm down, but it was not so easy for them to calm down.

George not only jumped to the sworn enemy Blackburn Rovers, but also personally sent Burnley to relegation that year. There is absolutely no way they can forget this.

When the Blackburn bus arrived, thousands of fans surrounded the bus.

"George, get out of Burnley!"

"Judas, get out!"

"Shhh

The boos from thousands of fans shocked the players inside the bus.

Many of the current Blackburn players came in later. Lucio, Lescott, Marcos Alonso, Franck Ribery, Arshavin, Hleb and Edwin van der Sar have all not played Blackburn Rovers and Burnley before.

In their thoughts, Blackburn and Burnley should have received a lot of boos since they were sworn enemies in the same city.

As for the feud between George and Burnley that the media said before the game, they didn't take it seriously.

After all, it was all seven years ago.

And in world football, although there are not many coaches who coach sworn enemies in the same city, they are not few.

But they found out today.

These Burnley fans don't care about Blackburn Rovers at all, they're targeting George alone. The boos were all for George.

All the players unconsciously turned their heads to look at George behind them.

But after one glance, everyone immediately turned their heads. Because they saw George, who had a gloomy face, and his eyes were very unkind. No one wants to run into a gun.

Amid the boos of the thousands, George got out of the car as if nothing had happened.

'Coach Levy, how does it feel to be at Burnley again?'

"Coach Levy, do you have anything to respond to the kindness shown by Burnley chairman Frud?"

"Coach Levy ......"

As soon as George got out of the car, dozens of reporters surrounded him.

However, George just coldly pushed the reporter away and only said one word. "It's just a normal FA Cup game."

The more George ignored them, the more they followed him closely. In the end, with the help of the police who maintained order on the scene, George led the team to the Turf Moor Stadium.

Actually, as George said, it was just a normal FA Cup game.

Burnley's strength is limited.

It should be said that it is a very simple competition. But because the two teams are in the same city derby, and because of George, it turned out to be an eye-catching game.

George doesn't want the same with the Blackburn players.

So George didn't hide the main force this time. Instead, some veteran players were put on the pitch, Pire, and Sabri, who is on loan from Inter. Ramucci, Drogba and Alonso all played. The goalkeeper also went on Van der Sar.

George originally wanted Klose to play. But Klose was once a Burnley player after all. So George didn't want Klose to be booed like he was. In the end, George decided that Drogba would play.

The younger players may be a little more excited because this is a city derby. George didn't want that.

So the veteran players were added to the field.

"Blackburn, almost all the main players. Surprisingly, could it be that George has set his sights on the FA Cup this season? Also, George has yet to win the FA Cup at Blackburn. "Martin. Taylor was surprised by Blackburn's formation.

Because although Burnley is a sworn enemy in the same city, its strength is limited after all.

They came close to qualifying for the promotion play-offs last season, thanks to the spirit of their young players. In terms of strength, it is still far lower than Blackburn.

I didn't expect George to have so many main players on the court.

"yes. After this game, George will also lead the team to the away game against Bayern Munich. It looks like George is taking this game seriously. ”

As it had been discussed, when George came out, there was another round of boos at Turfmore Stadium.

George looked at the familiar Tivmore Stadium.

It's been seven seasons since he left Burnley, but the Trofmore Stadium is still so familiar. But time has passed, and he used to be the master here, but now he has become a traitor here.

Burnley's starting line-up is already very unfamiliar.

George was at Burnley, and there was only one man he was familiar with. It's his former disciple Ashley. Chapman. After a few years, he has become Burnley's captain.

As for the other players, George didn't know any of them.

But George has read the information. Among these people, except for Ashley. Chapman, along with five Burnley academy players.

Burnley's current style of play doesn't have much tactical content.

Their style of play is more about running. The frontcourt uses non-stop running, using running to tear apart the opponent's defense. Their midfielders are young and full of energy and have no problem running the whole game.

But their strength is still insufficient. While their movement was characteristic, it wasn't enough to tear apart Blackburn's defence.

On the other hand, their defense is the most traditional backline in England. The frontal defense and high-altitude ball defense are very strong, but the defense of the ball behind them is not good. Because Burnley's centre-backs are typical England centre-backs. Their turning speed, their recovery speed, are very problematic.

Pire's weakness for Burnley was easy to grasp.

Twenty-four minutes into the first half, Burnley's run stalled a little before Pire came into play. A beautiful behind-the-back ball to Arshavin in front. Arshavin scored the first goal with ease.

Positivity cannot cover up the gap in strength.

Many of the reporters who followed the game shook their heads. Although there was a lot of talk about the two teams, there was not much to see about the game on the pitch.

The two sides are not on the same level at all.

Soon the second half had just begun, and it was another raid. Alonso's long ball went straight to the back of the Burnley back line. Drogba, like a tank, ran over and received the ball and scored the second goal of the game.

2-0, it seems that Blackburn should have no problem reaching the sixth round of the FA Cup.

Burnley's young players, on the other hand, were two goals behind but still didn't give up.

Burnley's front-line players were more active than they had just started. Several of Burnley's academy players have been produced, with the exception of Ashley. Chapman, the rest of the players, is mostly between the ages of twenty and twenty-two.

Their technique is relatively crude. It should be said that the players trained by England themselves are not comparable to the players trained by Spain, France, and Portugal in terms of technical ability. But they also have their own merits.

These players are very physical and physical first of all. I didn't look tired until the end.

After that, the body is great, and he is not afraid of any impact. They are the most typical English players.

Of course, compared with ordinary English players, there is one more advantage, that is, the basic skills of these players are very solid. Stopping, passing, it's all pretty good. Maybe they can't be top players, but the fundamentals are excellent, so they will never make any low-level mistakes.

Stop the ball, they will never stop the ball a metre away.

"George, this is your contribution."

Carl suddenly nudged George. "These players have the quality to play in the Premier League in the future. Even if you go to our club, you will have no problem being a substitute in the future. ”

"Me?"

George was stunned and laughed dumbly.

George understood what Carl meant. Before George, Burnley's Academy was very rudimentary. Back then, George used the money he made in the transfer market to start Burnley's academy. For two seasons in a row, George spent more than £4 million in the Burnley Academy.

At the time, Kilby was unhappy with this.

At that time, George's most important thing was the basics.

Burnley academy players, even when they reach the age of 18, have to undergo basic training before formal training.

Those English talents, many of them still have quite a bit of talent. It's a good header, or a good shot, or a good technique. But why so many have fallen, it is because the basic skills are not solid.

As you get older, this problem becomes more and more prominent.

Therefore, at the beginning of the Burnley Academy, George attached great importance to the basic skills of young players. Simply stopping the ball and passing the ball, George requires the players to practice every day, but to practice hard. It seems that this is the result.

"Carl......" George said halfway, but shook his head.

Looking at the game on the field, I suddenly felt a little moved in my heart. Here's my contribution too!
