74 Derby's successor

Evan Sawyer was emotional when he saw Mitchell, who had always been heavy, and shook his head with a smile. Unlike Carl Pat, Evan Sawyer has his own ideas. Evan Sawyer is not satisfied with being George's assistant coach and must fly alone in the future.

Evan Sawyer came to Burnley because he was too young to be valued in other clubs. That's why I chose to follow George to Burnley.

During this period, Evan has been learning how George is the head coach. Today, I learned another trick this time, and I was also sighing in my heart. They are also young people, but George is far better than himself.

Blackburn has been ranked in the relegation zone of the Premier League recently. After this game, they will face their biggest opponent Bolton on the road to relegation in three days. But look, they have sent all the main force. What does this show? It shows that Hodgson has no confidence in his heart, so he sent all the main force. George spoke very well. Those players nodded and thought George was right. As a Premier League team, Blackburn is still in the important stage of relegation, but he has sent the main force, which is obviously a guilty performance.

But Evan and Carl next to them almost laughed, and Burnley was different from the main force. Which side doesn't attach great importance to this kind of derby. But from George's mouth, it seems that only Hodgson attaches importance to the game.

However, no player thought of this at this time. They were all extremely excited.

Players from both sides began to play. Burnley's top scorer Robby Keane did not appear in this game, and midfielder Matthew Holland replaced Robby Keane. And right-back Finnan did not play, but Grant, who has been playing for a long time. It seems that George is ready to stabilize the defense first, and George's Burnley is the beginning of defense. Mottson looked at Burnley's lineup and didn't understand that Robby Keane didn't appear in the starting lineup.

"Yes, I think Robby Keane is far better than Klose. Roby Keane has scored eight goals for Burnley and is currently Burnley's top scorer. Klose played 14 games for Burnley and scored only two goals. I don't understand why George chose Klose instead of Robby Keane. Alan Hansen was also very surprised.

"Have you seen some Burnley fans? Their statements are very interesting."

"Oh, what did Burnley fans say?"

"I have met several Burnley fans because of my work. They said that Klose was George's illegitimate son. Ha ha ha."

"What's the reason?"

"They say that George's buyer's vision is absolutely first-class, and he has never been blind since George became the head coach of Burnley. Only this Klose is not worthy of George's attention to Burnley fans, but among Burnley's current four strikers, Klose is the most valued by George. So many Burnley fans laughed privately that Klose was George's illegitimate child.

"Hahahaha, this is a metaphorical image. Klose has played so many times and only scored two goals. There are indeed some problems with efficiency, but I think George has a lot of trust in Klose. In such an important game, I would rather let Klose start than choose Roby Keane.

The players on the field lined up to shake hands in turn, and then George came out slowly.

Then he walked to Blackburn's coach's bench and shook hands with their coach. In fact, this should be what Hodgson, the head coach of the home team, should do. Unfortunately, George stayed in the locker room for a long time before coming out, making Hodgson impatient to wait outside.

Hodgson didn't like George, a young man. He was arrogant and arrogant, so he shook hands with George with a cold face and didn't say a word.

But when shaking hands with Hodgson, George had a kind smile on his face. Coach Hodgson, I'm really confused. Don't you want to play against Bolton in three days? I remember this is an important battle related to whether you can be relegated or not, right?

Looking at George's smiling face, Hodgson couldn't help punching him. However, good self-restraint still made Hodgson hold back. Coach Levy, you don't need to care more about our club. Anyway, we are a Premier League team. You still care about whether your team can be upgraded.

"Yes, upgrading is our goal this season. But I think once we defeat Blackburn, we can have a happy mood and boost morale. This will definitely be of great help to the team's promotion.

Hodgson was not the kind of sharp-toothed coach. He couldn't compare with Ferguson and later Mourinho in eloquence, so he didn't continue to talk, but turned back to his coach's bench.

George began to shake hands with Hodgson, and the smile on his face did not disappear. After letting go of his hand, George also turned around and left the place and returned to his position.

At the moment when George and Hodgson shook hands, the broadcast camera always followed them. Mortson smiled and said, "Look at George's smile and Hodgson's cold face. You can imagine what George must have said to make Hodgson angry. What an interesting scene."

"Playing with his mouth, Hodgson must be inferior to George." Alan Hansen also plugged in.

"In the future, Burnley will be promoted to the Premier League, and maybe George's object of the war of words will become Ferguson. That's interesting."

"I'm also looking forward to what you said when Mottson said that."

The two commentators talked a lot today and laughed happily.

............

The game entered a high rhythm at the beginning, and there was no trace of reservation between the two sides. Hodgson wants to use this Derby victory to sweep Blackburn away the haze. And George's goal is already aimed at the League Cup, so he must defeat Blackburn.

George put five people in the game, using Matthew Holland and Neil Lennon as defensive midfielders to protect Barak. Then release Barak's offensive strength with all his strength.

With George's transformation of Burnley over the years, Burnley's midfield strength is not what it used to be. The last time he defeated Blackburn, George actually played a rogue. After showing the enemy's weakness, he defended with all his strength. When Blackburn was relaxed, he could use the counterattack to defeat Blackburn.

But this time it's different. George has to use his real strength to win the game. That's why George has to control the midfield.

Burnley obviously has the upper hand in the midfield competition. Sherwood, who used to call for the storm in the Premier League, is now completely at a disadvantage in the battle with Barak.

But there is one person in Blackburn who frequently hits Burnley's defense, that is, the new star Damien Anthony Duff trained by Blackburn. Duff, who is only 18 years old, has already shown great strength.

"Duff, he was very fast. He wiped over Grant in an instant and passed the ball... Unfortunately, Sutton couldn't catch the ball. I believe that all Blackburn fans will miss Shearer at this time, if sheer is in..."

At the time of the explanation, Burnley also made a fast attack.

"Burnley counterattacked very fast... Barak got the ball, left... Yongberry, Neche... Berg couldn't keep an eye on Yongberry, shot... hit Hendry's leg. It's a corner kick!"

In general, when kicking a corner, two full-backs and midfielders will stay behind. But Daniel on Burnley's side also squeezed into the Blackburn penalty area because of his height, good health and good bounce.

"The corner kick is Camoranesi's main penalty... Klose is very smart, rubbing the front point... Daniel, ouch. Daniel and Berg bumped into each other. It seemed that neither of them had a big deal and stood up. No, Daniel..."

In order to earn Klose's ball from the back, Daniel began to sprint from near the big penalty area. And Berg also jumped to understand, just on Daniel's face.

Both of them stood up quickly, but it can be clearly seen in the picture that Daniel's face was full of blood. And when he fell down, Daniel's leg was scratched by Berg's heel. So his legs were also bleeding, but it seemed that Daniel didn't feel it. He just hugged his head in regret and turned away from the Blackburn penalty area.

It was not until Ballack pulled Daniel that he found that his face was bleeding.

"How's it going?" George came nervously to the team doctor.

"Look, is there any double shadow?" The team doctor did not answer George immediately, but stretched out his finger and asked Daniel. Daniel shook his head and the team doctor nodded. The eyebrow bone is injured, and there should be no problem with dressing. The leg injury is not big.

Daniel quickly bandaged and applied to the referee for admission.

"In less than ten minutes after the start of the game, Daniel was injured. But looking at him, I didn't know he was injured at all. Mortson sighed when he saw that Daniel did not find himself injured at first.

"Yes, Daniel is an English player." Alan Hansen, as a traditional English player, appreciates Daniel's appearance.

"In the few games that Mitchell was absent, Daniel has always been wearing a Burnley captain's armband. It seems that Burnley has found the banner of his future.
