171 Coming Home?
The renewal of Essien's contract is just a small thing that George has time to talk about in his busy schedule. Generally speaking, even if it is a contract extension for a first-team player, George only gives a rough idea, and then there is a special department to negotiate.
Even when talking about Pire and Miku, George only persuaded them to join Blackburn. And then specific things that George is not going to be involved in. This kind of professional stuff, George, the head coach, doesn't know much about it.
And when negotiating contracts with players, if the coach personally intervenes, if there is any conflict in the negotiation, everyone will not look good. Therefore, this kind of thing is left to the transfer department and let them take care of it.
It's the same as a player inviting an agent to negotiate. They want a high salary, and it's not good for them to come out on their own. Broker negotiations, there will be no such thing. After all, both the club and the players have to save face for each other and have a buffer.
However, Essien's situation is special, so George will talk to Alan personally.
During this time, Blackburn's league journey is still smooth, and it should be said that Blackburn's form has come out. Miku scored a goal away from home from a penalty created by Andrea Pire, and the final 1-0 win over Wimbledon in South West London. Immediately after returning to home, Blackburn's attacking line exploded, with Duff and Pire's goals each scoring and an own goal from the opposition to win 3-1 against Derby County.
Pire and Miku, who are gradually adapting to the Premier League, have exploded into amazing strength in the Premier League. If you talk about the style of play of the Premier League team, Miku, a forward midfielder, needs to continue to adapt. Pire, on the wing, is the Tigers, and on the left is no less popular than Manchester United's Ryan Giggs and Arsenal's Overmars.
Since the beginning of the Manchester United game, Pire has scored four goals and four assists in six rounds, becoming the first contributor to Blackburn's outstanding results.
A wave of five consecutive wins has made Blackburn the most watched team in the Premier League in recent times. It is also the team in the best form in the Premier League at the moment. In fifteen rounds, Blackburn won five, drew six and lost four, and the points reached 21 points.
Twenty-one points allowed Blackburn Rovers to soar from the bottom of the Premier League to the ninth place in the Premier League. Newcastle, Tottenham Hotspur, and Everton were all left behind by Blackburn's strong wave.
Blackburn's points are only 12 points less than Arsenal, which are currently in first place in the Premier League. It's completely different from Blackburn Rovers at the bottom of the Premier League. All the teams at the front of the table felt Blackburn's aggressive posture.
Blackburn's state is not to mention that the media, newspapers, and football commentators are praising George and Blackburn. Even Mark, who has always been a sworn enemy with George. Laurentian has been silenced and has stopped commenting on George and Blackburn in recent times.
With a wave of five consecutive wins, it seems that all the people of Black George have disappeared. It's like they've never been there.
Always very serious John. Williams has also been smiling these days, and the rebound of Blackburn's results has also completely relieved Williams. The slump at the start of the season also put Williams under pressure. Now I'm finally able to relax.
When the results were bad, Williams was a strong supporter of George. But at the club, he avoided George as much as possible and didn't want to put too much pressure on him. But as the grades picked up, Williams would be in George's office at every turn. There's nothing to do, just laughing and talking to George. The atmosphere of the whole club has gradually become much more relaxed.
However, being able to achieve such a good result in this period of time, in addition to the current good form of Blackburn, it is also related to the current easy schedule of Blackburn. Since the Manchester United game, Blackburn have had an easy fixture. Newcastle, Southampton, Sheffield Wednesday, Wimbledon, Derby County are not strong teams. In the current Premier League, they are all teams in the middle and lower reaches.
…………
But now the media is not paying much attention to Blackburn's recent excellent attitude, but is focusing on something else.
It's that Blackburn Rovers are about to go to Tivmore Stadium to face Burnley, and there are many highlights in this game. First of all, Blackburn Rovers and Burnley are two centuries-old enemies, they are a pair of bitter rivals in Lancashire.
When it comes to the hatred between them, it's impossible to count. After entering the 90s, there were many grievances between the two teams.
In 1991, Burnley was still struggling in the fourth tier of England. At the end of the season, Burnley, who are sixth in the league, faced Torquay United in the first round of the promotion play-offs, and Blackburn fans actually rented a helicopter to fly over Burnley's home stadium, Ferfermore Stadium. ”
This incident was still quite a sensation in English football at the time. This kind of naked ridicule is unacceptable to many Burnley fans. Even George, who was a coach at Burnley at the time, was furious when he saw the slogan.
So much so that Alastelle Campbell, a famous Burnley fan and a key member of Blair's cabinet, expressed his attitude in The Times: he would rather trade the league victory over Manchester United for the conquest of Ewood Stadium and continue to suppress the sworn enemy in the standings. That's what all Burnley fans want.
After George's arrival, Burnley fans believe that wish will be fulfilled. George in particular won twice at Ewood Park against Blackburn Rovers and made all the Burnley fans sing and dance. When Burnley were promoted to the Premier League, all the fans believed the time had come to crush Blackburn.
But in the summer, George took charge of Blackburn Rovers, not only did Blackburn fans not welcome George, but also made Burnley fans gnash their teeth. It can be regarded as adding another grudge to the century-old grudge between Blackburn and Burnley, two sworn enemies.
And the degree of hatred between this feud in the century-old history of the two teams is definitely no less than that of Blackburn fans who rented helicopters to mock Burnley at Tivmore Stadium.
George went from Burnley to Blackburn Rovers and the news was almost as explosive as the national team news before the World Cup. This is not only because of Burnley and Blackburn, two rival teams with a century-old feud, but also because George is England's up-and-coming coach.
Since George left Burnley, Burnley haven't been bad in the Premier League this year.
Glenn. Rodel, after entering Burnley, led Burnley's results, although not very good, but not very bad. They are currently 14th in the Premier League and do not have too many relegation worries as the current trend stands.
With Blackburn Rovers in charge, George had long thought he would face Burnley in the Premier League. But this time to really face Burnley, George is still not calm in his heart.
George is not a gentleman, but he also doesn't consider himself a villain. He's just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who can't be more ordinary. It also has the thinking of an ordinary person. When looking for a job, seeing that Blackburn was the most sincere and could give full play to his talents, George immediately forgot that he was once a coach from Burnley. For George, it's his own future that is more important.
But George is not a heartless man, although he has left Burnley. But Burnley is, after all, the place where George stayed for ten years, and it is impossible to completely forget Burnley.
George thinks it's funny when he thinks about it, can he be considered a bitch and set up an archway. has already entered Blackburn, a century-old rival, and is excusing himself.
The closer he got to Afmore Stadium, the more unsettled George's heart became.
Ferfermore Stadium, which had a very special meaning in George's first thirty years. From an early age, George followed his father to the Turf Moor Stadium to watch games. Although it is a low-level competition in England, for Burnley fans, being able to watch the game at the Turf Moor Stadium is already very satisfying.
Later as Burnley coach, George won an untold number of honours at the Tivmore Stadium.
Trofmore Stadium has so many fond memories of George. Here, George is the hero, everything to the team. At the Turf Moor Stadium, George was more popular than anyone else. Including Mitchell, Barak, and Ljungberg, who have made great contributions to Burnley, their combined popularity is not as good as George's.
Every time he played at Fermore Stadium, George was always cheered up the most. At the Tivmore Stadium, you can hear songs made up for George by Burnley fans at every game.
This used to be my home, and it used to be where I fought.
Now he is coming to the Trodemore Stadium as an opponent. What the Burnley fans will do to themselves, applause George is not expecting. Boo, that's for sure.
But in the midst of the boos, will there be fans who welcome their former meritorious coach. Although he knew that this was an extravagant hope, George still hoped that ....... Shaking his head, he was delusional about something. A big traitor himself, and he also expects them to welcome him.
"Shhh
"Traitor! Judas! ”
A loud noise woke George up. George looked out and saw that he had arrived at the Fullmore Stadium. Around the Blackburn bus, there are already a lot of Burnley fans around. There are also a lot of local police officers in Burnley who are maintaining order. If it weren't for the police, those angry fans would have come and smash the bus.
Their purpose is the same, that is, to give George a dismount.
How deep is love, how deep is hate. This statement is definitely not false.
Just as George had been loved like a god at Burnley, George's defection left Burnley fans gnash their teeth. They can't forgive George and never will. George is in charge of any other Premier League club, and many Burnley fans will understand and support him. But Blackburn .......
"George, Tivmore Field has arrived." Carl looked at George's melancholy look and patted George.
George breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up and clapped his hands. "Alright, get out of the car."
