Chapter 174 Return to Tefmore (Part 1)

When George got off the bus, the fans outside were pointing at him and cursing. George walked down with a straight face and straight eyes.

Not only were there many fans outside, but there were even more media reporters around the bus. Although the media had guessed many internal reasons for leaving Burnley at that time, George, the person involved, had always kept silent. And after he took over Blackburn, he never mentioned anything about Burnley.

This time, George was finally caught. George came to Burnley to play this time. He couldn't keep silent about Burnley.

If George's performance was not good, then the reporters' interest in George would definitely decrease. But with the recovery of Blackburn's performance, George has once again become one of the most watched coaches during this period. After all, George is currently the youngest coach in the Premier League.

George had just got off the bus, and the reporters' microphones, cameras, and cameras were all aimed at George.

The most nervous people now are the police, not only to stop those emotional fans, but also those excited reporters.

"Wow, our head coach is so popular? Why didn't I notice it before?" Pires looked at the crowds of fans and the crowded reporters.

Pires knew that George had been a coach at Burnley, but he was surprised to hear such boos before he got off the car.

"Tsk, don't you know that our head coach is the youngest coach in the Premier League? Didn't the media say that the head coach is the best local coach in England?" Sagnol's English is the best and he learns the fastest.

The French players in Blackburn all have strange personalities. Gallas has a very bad relationship with others. Or he can't handle the relationship with others well. But he doesn't have a stable starting position, so he is not very noticeable.

Makelele is very low-key. In the team, he has the same relationship with everyone. He doesn't stick together with the other French players, nor does he show off too much.

Miku is a little introverted. Because of the language problem, he doesn't communicate much with the players. Pires has some arrogance in his personality. Miku and Pires have a very good relationship, but their relationship with others can only be said to be average.

Only Sagnol, although he has a bad temper and is easily impulsive. There will be some extreme actions during the game. But Sagnol is like a lubricant in the locker room. Not only does he have a good relationship with the French players, but he also has a good relationship with some local players.

Hendry, Duff and others have a good relationship with Sagnol.

Sometimes George thinks that although Sagnol likes to show some temper, he really has the potential to be a captain. How great it would be if Sagnol was a local English player.

"Hey, Miro. Tell me, what was the boss like when he was in Burnley." Sagnol turned his head and asked Klose.

Klose sighed as he looked at a group of fans outside scolding George. "The boss is God in Burnley. When he was here, everyone liked and supported him. No one in the team, including those star players, can compare with the boss in the hearts of the fans."

"Wow, the boss was so powerful in Burnley."

"No wonder there are so many fans."

While the players were chatting quietly on the bus, George was dealing with the group of annoying reporters.

"Coach Levy, how do you feel about returning to Burnley?"

"Not bad." George answered the reporter's question perfunctorily, with the muscles on his face tense.

Hearing George's answer, the fans outside booed. There were even shouts of "Burnley doesn't welcome you!"

"Coach Levy, can you tell us why you left Burnley and why you took over Blackburn?" Many things in it were guessed by everyone. George, the person involved, has not spoken, so everything is just a rumor.

The reporters all want to hear what George, the person involved, has to say.

"I only answer questions about the game, and refuse to answer any other questions." George did not cooperate with the reporter's questions at all.

"Coach Levy, what do you think of Coach Rodel's performance at Burnley?"

"Well done."

"Coach Levy..."

"Okay, my players are going in to warm up."

"Coach Levy, we still have questions..."

"Leave it for later."

George finally ended their interview with a cold face in his impatience.

Watching George lead the players into the stadium, the reporters behind looked at each other in bewilderment. But there were also many reporters who had dealt with George who smiled. This was the George they were familiar with. It seemed that there would be no worries about good news following George in the future.

…………

When he arrived at Turf Moor Stadium, George stayed in his locker room and didn't go out at all. Because George knew that as long as he went out, the boos from the fans in the stadium would be given to him. Now George didn't go out, but stayed in his locker room, and he could hear the voices outside who were scolding him.

The reaction of Burnley fans was within George's expectations, and they had reason to hate him.

However, George sometimes fantasized that in view of his contribution to Burnley, Burnley fans would give him some face. But the idea is beautiful, and the reality is cruel.

Soon the players finished warming up and returned to the locker room.

George stabilized his mind and began to explain today's tactics.

This season, two of Burnley's top players, Ballack and Ljungberg, left. The remaining players are those that George had trained well. Even the current Burnley coach Rodel doesn't know much more about Burnley.

"Burnley's style of play is very simple. They are a true defensive counterattack. They rely more on the two wingers."

"But of their two wingers, Camoranesi poses the greatest threat. Giovanni, your task in this game is to keep an eye on him. Anderson, you also have to help Giovanni in this game. As long as you keep an eye on Camoranesi, half of Burnley's threat will be gone. As for Ashley Chapman, he is slow and physically weak, so Willy will use his body to block him. Don't let him take the ball and do whatever he wants. His skills are still quite good."

Thinking about dealing with these former disciples, George had an indescribable feeling in his heart. But George quickly shook his head, as he is now the head coach of Blackburn.

"Claude, your main task in this game is to keep an eye on Robbie Keane of Burnley. He is fast and has good skills. If he wants to enter the penalty area, you should cut off his route. If he enters the penalty area, Sammy, he is your task. As for Matthew Holland and Neil Lennon in the midfield, just think about it. Their midfield attack and passing abilities are very poor."

"Colin, your main task in this game is to keep an eye on Kevin Phillips of the opponent. Phillips is a striker with a strong ability to capture opportunities. Colin, it's up to you."

Burnley's current style of play is very simple, that is, Matthew Holland and Neil Lennon are placed in the midfield. Once the ball is grabbed, it will be handed over to Camoranesi and Ashley Chapman on the wing. Or a long pass to Robbie Keane, and then rely on Robbie Keane's personal strength to open the situation.

Because of the lack of midfield generals like Ballack, Burnley's midfield control has dropped several levels. Fortunately, Burnley's defensive system is still there, and Rodel did not change it at will. Therefore, Burnley's defense in the Premier League is still very good. Of course, there are big problems in offense.

"Damien, your opponent is Daniel. Don't fight with Daniel, Willy go forward to support Damien. Among Burnley's current defenders, Daniel is the strongest. Upson lacks the least experience, so the breakthrough is the rib defense of Upson and Daniel. Damien, your task is to tear open this rib defense."

Although it is a bit uncomfortable, George is indeed the one who knows Burnley best.

After this Burnley lost Ballack, there was almost no attacking ability in the middle. George's Burnley was really powerful back then. Not only was the sideline powerful, but even the middle was also prosperous. Especially Ballack's long shots and headers, which are a fatal attack for ordinary teams.

Unfortunately, neither Matthew Holland nor Neil Lennon has such ability now.

In addition, without a winger like Ljungberg, Camoranesi is the only winger, and one leg is already lame. If there is no Robbie Keane in front, Burnley can't play defensive counterattacks.

"I have only one request for you, Burnley plays defensive counterattacks. It's just right, we will press forward. John, Robert, Upson is Burnley's biggest weakness. When attacking, focus on this point."

Upson, George's future central defender for Burnley. With Mitchell's retirement, Upson became the main central defender. Although Upson's own strength is very strong, it's a pity that he is too young and lacks experience. And the cooperation with his teammates is unfamiliar, which is what George wants to take advantage of.

"Okay, go on the court."

When the players came out one after another, George sighed. Until now, George has been able to avoid, avoid Burnley fans.

But now George has to face all this. Although George has also been paying attention to Burnley's performance in the past six months. But he has been unwilling to talk about anything about Burnley, and he is unwilling to face Burnley fans.

But today, I can't avoid it after all.

What's coming will come, and what's to be faced must be faced. George took a long breath and made himself behave normally. Then he walked out of the locker room.

"Traitor! Judas!"

Turf Moor, which was normal just now, was suddenly filled with boos. And the boos were getting louder and louder, and the overwhelming boos almost suffocated everyone at Turf Moor. And the protagonist of the boos, George, stopped and looked at the Turf Moor, which was both familiar and unfamiliar.
