68 Post-Match Turmoil (Part II)

After the press conference, George went straight to the hospital.

"Professor Cook." This is the local hospital in Burnley, and it is also a hospital in partnership with Burnley Club.

After Mitchell King was injured, the team doctor understood the seriousness of Mitchell's injury after a simple treatment, so he was immediately sent to the local hospital. Chris Cook is the doctor in charge.

George had just entered the hospital and stopped Chris Cook when he noticed him rushing upstairs.

Chris Cook saw that George was not surprised, so he nodded. "Coach Levy, you're here."

"How's Mitchell doing?"

"It's not great, but it's not bad either."

"What do you mean?"

"The injury is not very serious, and the average player only needs to rest for about half a month. But Mitchell is old, and he has to rest for at least more than 40 days. Chris Cook talks to George about Mitchell's injury with a blank face.

George breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't a major injury, there was no problem. As the doctor said, Mitchell is old, and once he is seriously injured, he can only choose to retire.

"Will there be some after-effects?"

Hearing George's words, Chris Cook smiled rarely. "It's just an ordinary leg injury, how can there be sequelae. But Mitchell is old and old enough to retire. ”

George nodded, even if Mitchell didn't want to retire, George would persuade him to retire next season. Mitchell is indeed too old.

"Thank you, Professor Cook."

"No, it's my job. Coach Levy, I'm going to get busy. ”

Looking at the departing Chris Cook, George shook his head. Because Burnley University Hospital and Burnley Club are a partnership, George and Chris Cook have a lot of opportunities to meet, but every time they meet Chris Cook, it is so boring.

…………

Speaking of which, in the English league, it is very common for players to get injured and conflict during the game. And those coaches criticize opponents and referees repeatedly.

But there has never been a coach who has lashed out at opponents and referees as much as George.

In addition, George scolded the referee on the field, and the referee truthfully wrote it in the report.

The next day, George's words were truthfully published in major newspapers in England, and even George's sarcastic words about the referee on the field were picked up by reporters.

"Is there something wrong with your eyes, you only give a yellow card for such an action? How are you a referee, you're blind. ”

"Do you have a referee certificate?"

"What are you going to do other than play your cards to me? You'd better go back and take a good refereeing course and then come back to be a referee, don't lose face on the field. ”

"In a football game, the referee becomes the protagonist and becomes the star, which is the funniest thing. I don't even know where his referee certificate came from, with such a low level of refereeing, I really don't know how to enforce the League One. ”

These words were written clearly in the newspaper in very large letters. Everyone saw George, the young coach, going crazy again.

But George, although young, is not stunned. On the night of the game, a number of controversial decisions were collected and a letter of protest was sent to the FA regarding West Bromwich Albion's unsportsmanlike behaviour and the poor enforcement of the law by the referee on duty, Minick. Mom's, the Chinese who don't know the idiom of preemptive strike. George knew that what he said this time was a bit excessive, and he would definitely be banned by the FA. That's why George should be like this, how should he dress up as the injured party. And Burnley turned out to be the loser.

It wasn't a big deal, but because of George's overreaction, it made a big deal.

The English FA, which has always been inefficient, reacted very quickly this time. The next afternoon, I approached the referee on duty, Minnick, hoping to hear his explanation.

All the media eyes are on the FA to see what the FA has decided.

In the process of FA research, the media has been very lively. First, George went on to attack West Bromwich Albion in the media for a brutal foul, including attacking referee Minnick.

"I'm wondering why English football is so tolerant of rough fouls. This kind of rough foul is a disservice to the sport of football. For English football to develop, it should abandon this kind of brutal manoeuvre. ”

Even George didn't expect that a manager with whom George had never dealt at all spoke to George. This is Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, who arrived in the Premier League in October last year. Speaking of last October, when George had just been in a car accident, there was one of the biggest topics in English football.

That is, Arsene Wenger, who coached in the league, became the manager of the Premier League powerhouse Arsenal. The most interesting headline at the time was the line "Asena? Who is Asena? ”

However, Arsene Wenger has done a great job in less than a year, turning the ugly Arsenal that Graham left behind into a flashy, attacking fluid.

George really didn't expect Arsene Wenger to speak out in support of him at this time.

But there are also many people who disagree with Wenger's views, and the media has been bickering. These days, the media is like a holiday, and at the beginning it was a confrontation between two League One clubs. With Arsene Wenger's speech, gradually some influential figures in English football also participated in the debate.

Three days later, the FA finally released its opinion on how to deal with the incident.

First of all, the referee on duty, Minnick, was banned for three games because he failed to control the game and let the game lose control.

Then there is West Bromwich Albion's No. 9 striker Barnett, who was not shown a red card on the spot for a malicious foul, but was given an additional penalty. Three games were banned and a fine of £1,000 was imposed.

Burnley manager George attacked the FA after the game for insulting the referee on the pitch in an attempt to interfere with the referee's normal work. Three games were banned and a fine of £1,000 was imposed.

In the end, the players who received red and yellow cards on the field upheld their original verdicts.

…………

"George, why are you here?" Mitchell's leg was wrapped in a thick bandage, and it was natural for him to ask George while lying on the hospital bed.

"What, I'm not welcome?" George took a small stool and sat down in front of the bed. "How's it going?"

"It's good, I've been playing football for so many years, so take this opportunity to take a good rest." Mitchell wasn't frustrated at all and joked with George. Seeing George's wry smile, Mitchell shook his head. "Why, George. Do you think that the team can't win without me, then you are too inferior. Hehe. ”

"Mitchell, it seems that you are in good spirits. Then I will be relieved and take good care of my injuries. The team is full of kids, and I'm counting on you to teach them well. ”

"George, don't go out and say that. It's like you're old. Mitchell laughed. By the way, what do you think about the captain of the team. ”

"What do you think?"

"Daniel, Daniel is the most suitable from any point of view."

George nodded.

"Mitchell, I'll go first. You take care of your injuries, I'll wait for you. ”

"Don't worry, George. I don't want to retire yet. ”

(Class reunion, just returned.) I'm sorry. )
