12 first game
"George, come here quickly. This is the dish I specially made for you. Look, this table is your favorite. Old York's muscles trembled, and George looked at Old York like a legendary football hooligan.
George sat down and took a look. It was true that the breakfast York made today was George's favorite. Thank you, Uncle York.
"Don't thank me. You are the first time you lead a team game today. Don't worry, our residents will come to the scene to support you. You can't let us down then." Old York laughed boldly and then patted George on the shoulder. George, I have always believed in you. You will definitely lead Burnley to create a new miracle.
George nodded, and he was glad that someone supported him so much. By the way, where is Little York? They are not on holiday."
"I don't know. I've been out early in the morning." Old York didn't talk much about the game with George. This was George's first game. Old York doesn't want to put too much pressure on George, unlike other Burnley fans. Old York watched George grow up, so he has another special feeling.
After dinner, George left home early. Good morning, George. You must work hard today. I will definitely support you on the spot.
"Burns, thank you. Just believe me." Parkin, good morning. Don't worry, I won't let you down." George has lived in this area for six years and is quite familiar with many people here. Especially when George became the head coach of the Burnley team.
"George, get in the car. I'll take you there." Just as George kept saying hello, a taxi stopped in front of George.
"Thank you, John." George got into the car with a smile.
The bearded driver laughed. George, I should like to thank you. I heard that Daniel is going to enter the starting lineup. Thank you so much. If it hadn't been for your persistence, Daniel would not have been able to enter the first team of the club. This beard is John Morrison, the father of Daniel Morrison, who was promoted from the youth team. Daniel is very tall, 1.87 meters tall, but Daniel's father is only about 1.7 meters.
"John, I should thank you. After giving birth to such an excellent son, I hereby guarantee that Daniel will be able to enter the England national team in a few years. Burnley is not very big, and it only takes a few minutes to reach the Tefumore Stadium.
"George, what are you doing? How can I ask for your money? You take it back. Just think of me thanking you." George paid John the fare when he got out of the car, but John quickly refused.
George didn't care about those and put them into John's hands. John, don't you think that a few years later the newspaper reported that the former Burnley coach received the benefits of young players' families and promoted young players. I still want to be a coach for a long time.

On August 16, 1995, Tefumore Stadium.
George came to the court early to warm up the players. George stood on the court and suddenly felt that the world was in his own hands, although he had played at Tefumore Stadium before. But at that time, George was just an ordinary coach of the team, and he felt completely different from being the head coach today.
The game hasn't started yet. George took a look at the sight of about 12,000 fans who came to the stadium today. The stadium that can accommodate more than 22,000 people is already more than half full, which has made George very satisfied. Burnley is not a big city like London, Leeds and Liverpool. Compared with those big cities, Burnley is simply as small as an ant. In a small town with a population of 88,000, even if the whole city is dispatched, it is only enough to fill the Old Trafford Stadium of Manchester United.
And Burnley's residents' income is even more meager. If you want to watch football in London, especially in Hebri, if you add tickets for the League Cup, FA Cup and European League, then Arsenal fans spend more than half of the annual income of Burnley residents. In this regard, we can also see the income of Burnley residents.
In this case, more than 10,000 fans can enter the stadium to make George more aware of the loyalty of English fans. There are countless clubs in Burnley, Blackburn, Blackpool, Preston and Enington Stanley throughout Lancashire. Among them, Blackburn has a population of only 140,000, while Burnley is even less than 88,000.
But the advantage of being poor is that the fans are very **. Professor Wenger complained that there were too few fans in Hybri. Haibury's fans are quite gentle, and the fans watching the ball there are basically polite white-collar workers. The fans just watch the game politely, and the players will feel that there is not much ** during the game.
But Burnley's fans are different. Their fans are crazy and **. A group of crazy fans is likely to infect more crazy and loyal fans, which can also affect the performance of the players and make their belief in winning stronger! A good home court's contribution to the team is absolutely unimaginable.

"Today is our first game in the second division, and we are going to start a new journey. Everyone should work together. There is only one goal this year, which is to return to the First Division. Although we can't be satisfied with returning to the First Division, no matter how big the goal is, we have to go step by step. Now the second division is our first step. George was in the locker room for the final mobilization.
George finally said fiercely, "This is the first game. My only requirement is to win. I just want to win. Would you like to play in the second division all the time?
"I don't want to."
"Yes, I don't want to either. We should be in the League One and the Premier League. For this goal, we need to win one by one. This is not only our first game in the second division, but also our first game in Tefumore. Tens of thousands of fans outside are watching us, and I will never allow defeat. Do you understand?"
"I see." Half of the starting players today were introduced by George himself. And they are relatively young, and it is easy to be instigated by George.
"Okay, let me specify our opponent now." For the opponent in the first game, George has the most detailed information. George always believes in the saying that he knows his enemy and wins every battle. This game is to attack and defeat the opponent. Svinden was relegated from the First Division like us, and ranked higher than us in the First Division. It is a popular team to be promoted this year. George was actually very dissatisfied with the arrangement of the FA, which made Burnley face such a powerful opponent in the first game.
"Svinden's strongest is not the attack, but their defense. In particular, the four people in the back defense line have been cooperating for many years, and the defense can be No. 1 even in the First Division. But there is also a big problem with their defense, that is, the defenders are too old. Karel, the left-back with you today is very accurate and in good health, but turning and speed are the biggest disadvantages. I only have one request for you, constantly hitting him with speed.
"Richard, I only have one request for you. Hold their rear and give them maximum pressure with your impact. Then create a shooting opportunity for Huckaby and Michael behind him. George drew what Richard should do on the blackboard, and then told Darren Huckaby and Michael Ballack how to attack.
"Michael, Svendon's guard position is very accurate, and the position is also very reasonable. So the game needs your long-range shot. Don't hesitate when you have a chance.

When the live commentators shout out the Bernley player list one by one, there will be great cheers. Although more than half of the starting list are newcomers, there are still great cheers. Until Mitchell King's name came out, the cheers of the audience suddenly increased several times. You can also see how much Burnley fans like the old captain.
But what made George angry most was that when George came out, he was the smallest of all the cheers. This made George very dissatisfied. He was able to hire himself as the head coach. I don't know if it was Burnley's blessing in his life. To ignore me so much, George is also secretly determined to conquer the Tefumore Stadium.
"George, George." Among the group of people, there is a beautiful little girl who has always been named George.
"Miranda, Miranda." The companion who came with her quickly pulled her down. Miranda, look at the people around you looking at you? You don't seem to have much interest in football. I remember this is the first time you have been there to watch the game.
"What's the matter? Today is the first time for Brother George to lead a team to play. I must cheer for him." Miranda ignored the people next to her and called George's name in her spare time. In the future, I will watch the game every day.
"Miranda, do you like George?" Miranda's companion asked her doubtfully.
