19 Fateful Meeting
Three days after the dramatic passing of the second round of the League Cup, Burnley greeted Crew at home.
Speaking of Crewe, they don't have much connection with Burnley in history. Unfortunately, this year, George brought in two main midfielders from Crewe. Last season, it also ranked third in the second division, but unfortunately failed to pass the play-offs. At the beginning of the season, Crewe was also a popular team to upgrade.
Unfortunately, after losing Danny Murphy and Neil Lennon, he is only ranked ninth in the second division. The gap with Burnley is as high as nine points.
In this game, George arranged the strongest lineup to face Crewe. After losing two midfielders, Crewe's control in the midfield was greatly reduced.
With the cooperation of Barack, Danny Murphy and Neil Lennon, Burnley firmly controls the initiative on the court. In the end, with the goals of Bobowski and Darren Huckaby, he won a six-game winning streak 2:0.
After six rounds of competition, Burnley topped the list with 18 points with six consecutive victories. The second place was Svinden, who was defeated by Burnley in the first game, who scored 13 points with four wins and one draw. After just six games, Burnley is already far ahead of other teams.
............
After the six rounds of the game, there will soon be a draw for the third round of the League Cup. I don't know whether luck should be good or bad. However, when Burnley's opponent was announced, George shook his head with a smile.
Because Burnley's opponent in the next game is Blackburn, Burnley's feud Blackburn.
Although George openly shouted in the media, he hoped to compete with the Premier League champion. It's just to arouse the enthusiasm of Burnley fans and a fire in the hearts of Burnley players. I never thought about really having a trick with Blackburn.
Blackburn's Premier League championship last year is absolutely genuine, and Burnley is not in their eyes at all.
When George went to the training ground the next day, he found that the atmosphere of the club was completely different. Especially those old players have a very positive attitude.
"Carl, it seems that Blackburn has stimulated many of us." George shook his head and smiled.
Carl "hummed" and raised his eyebrows. George, it's not that you don't know the conflict between our two clubs. Have you forgotten how they humiliated us in '91? Carl, who has always been smiling, has an obvious expression.
In '91, it didn't take long for me to join the club. Of course, that kind of shameful thing has not been forgotten. Speaking of that, George was also very angry. That happened in '91.
In 1991, Blackburn returned to the First Division under the leadership of Dalglish, but Burnley could only play in England's fourth division at that time. At the end of the season, Burnley, who ranked sixth in the league, faced Tokui United in the first round of the promotion play-offs. Blackburn fans actually rented a helicopter to fly over Burnley's home court, Turnfour Stadium. What was more difficult for Burnley fans to accept was that the large slogan hanging under the helicopter suddenly wrote: "You will always stay in the fourth level. Let's go!"
This incident can be said to have deeply stimulated all Burnley fans, but unfortunately Burnley did not have any rebuttal at that time. Blackburn was promoted to the top league, while Burnley struggled in the fourth league.
After that, Blackburn was strong all the way and finally won the Premier League championship last season. Burnley, on the other hand, is in the midst of disasters and ups and downs, and is still wandering in the second division this season.
Compared with a native family like George Levy in Burnley, Carl Pat is not a Burnley fan. It's just that Carl couldn't find a job in the top league, so he found Burnley Club. But after all these years, Carl has also had feelings for Burnley.
"George, although we decided to give up the cup and focus on the league. But this time we can't give up. Let Blackburn's bastards know that Lancashire and Burnley's team. Carl, who has always been gentle, has foam flying, and the expression on his face is ferocious.
Looking at Carl waving his fists and looking at the more enthusiastic players on the training ground than usual, George understood that this was a game that should not be given up.
Intellectually speaking, such a chicken rib game certainly needs to be given up. But George knows that he can't do this under any circumstances, which is related to the honor of a team, a block, a city, and even a class!
Why football is the first sport in the world, because football has infinite **. And Derby is a game that focuses on all the football elements.
Why can Manchester City beat Manchester United 3-0 at home in the year of returning to the Premier League? Are they stronger than Manchester United? Obviously impossible! Is it just the word "Derby" that inspires them? It also includes the hatred that has been opposed to each other for countless years.
"Hmm, Carl. You're right. Since Blackburn drew it with us, let them see our Burnley's strength. George also spoke murderously.
It has been ten years since George came to this world and has always grown up in Burnley. Under the influence of his parents, relatives and friends, he is also a fan of Burnley. It's naturally quite boring for Blackburn, and it's also a good thing to take this opportunity to talk to them.
............
It may be that Blackburne stimulated Burnley players, who won the next three games. Of course, the most amazing thing is that Burnley scored eleven goals in these three games.
With the league going on for two months, the Burnley team has become more and more mature and better.
Although Burnley's attack relies too much on the right side where Pobosky is, one right side has already blown up all the second division teams. Bobowski scored four goals and six assists in five games this month.
So far, Burnley has achieved a nine-game winning streak in the English Second Division, beating the second place Svenden with seven points and taking the lead.
In the selection in September, George won the award of Best Coach of the Month in the Second Division for the second time. Porbosky also won the best player of the second division of the month for the second consecutive time.
