20 tit-for-tat

After finishing his training, George came to York's restaurant. Under normal circumstances, George will go to a restaurant in York for dinner.

Today is no exception. I came to York's restaurant and prepared for dinner. Unfortunately, before I entered it, I had already heard the sound coming out of it.

There is already a group of fans in it, discussing the game between Burnley and Blackburn. A big man, naked, raised a glass of beer and stood up and shouted, "Cheers for us to kill Blackburn's bastards in the League Cup!"

A group of fans present immediately raised their cups and shouted, "Cheers!"

It was poured down in one bite...

"Cheers for Burnley!"

"Cheers for victory!"

I poured it in again...

George was stunned at the door and stared at the drunkards. Grandma, there are so many alcoholic players in England. It turns out to be traditional. No wonder people say that England is rich in football hooligans. These people drink so unrestrainedly. After drinking, they are not what people call football hooligans.

"Brother George, you're here." Miranda, who was watching the fans on the bar, found George for the first time.

George nodded and came in with a smile. Little York, as usual.

Miranda shrugged her shoulders and went in with a smile to prepare.

"Burns, why are you drinking again? Doesn't your family hate you the most when you drink?" The fans gathered in the Old York Hotel are almost all neighbors.

The total population of Burnley is only more than 80,000, and it is not even as big as some small towns in China. Many people here are quite familiar with George.

Burns is very tall, 1.87 meters tall. He used to be a professional football player, but later injured his left arm, so he withdrew from the professional team. But the perfect figure I kept when I was exercising has been maintained until now.

I don't know why Burns has become a fanatical fan. He is a little famous among Burnley fans.

Burns patted the table fiercely and shouted by the neck. George, you underestimate me. Let me tell you, no one can care about me." Looking at his arms thicker than his thighs, George shook his head. Burns' current image is a lively football hooligan.

But Burns thought George didn't believe it and was furious. George, the game against Blackburn is coming soon. Can you win? If you want to win, I've paid for your meal here in York for a year.

"Burns, are you serious?" George is also in the spirit. Half of George's annual meal money will be spent on restaurants in Old York.

Burns was naked and patted his chest. Of course, George. I keep my word. As long as you win Blackburn, you can say anything.

"Yes, George, you must show Blackburn's bastards a little color."

"Yes, George, you must kill Blackburn."

George looked at a group of fans who had already drunk red eyes, and he was also proud. Of course, Blackburn's bastards cursed us in the fourth division forever a few years ago. However, we will return to the First Division next year, and it won't be long before we go to the Super League. I will definitely show them the color when I go to Ewood Park this time.

"Yes, that's right. Do it to death Blackburn." Old York is also completely out of time to do business. Miranda, give George a beer.

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

Before the game between Burnley and Blackburn, the media began to hype the game.

Generally speaking, the game between a Super League team and the second division team, and in the League Cup, is nothing at all. What's more, there is a heavyweight match between Liverpool and Newcastle United in the third round of the League Cup.

But who made Blackburn and Burnley the two Derby rivals who have been fighting for a hundred years. More importantly, Blackburn is now in a very bad situation in the Premier League. Kenny Dalglish was promoted to football director after winning the championship and handed over the team leader to deputy Ray Sherford. The opening results of the 1995-96 season were extremely poor, losing the first three rounds of the league and being out in the UEFA Europa League group stage. In addition, the main players such as Nassos and Sutton need to recover for a long time. Although the results have rebounded for more than half a month, the overall situation is not very optimistic.

In contrast, Burnley, under the leadership of young coach George, has achieved a nine-game winning streak in the second division. Of course, if you include two league cup wins, it will be an eleven-game winning streak.

And before the draw in the second round of the League Cup, George shouted in front of Blackburn media, "Come on, I'm going to play with the Premier League champion." This sentence later set off a scolding war between the two places.

Blackburn, founded in 1875, and Burnley, founded in 1882, are the founding teams of the British Football League. In the wild era more than a hundred years ago, both teams were once a strong contender for the league championship. In 1914, Blackburne and Burnley, who were also in Lancashire, won the league and FA Cup respectively, making a good story. However, in the following years, the two teams have become sworn enemies for various reasons. The home court, which is only 16 kilometers apart, never welcomes the arrival of the other's fans.

"Now Blackburn is in the Premier League, while Burnley is in the third level of the league. The current situation of the two teams is completely different. After Blackburn won the Premier League championship last season, this season has been difficult in the league. Burnley was relegated from the First Division to the Second Division last season. Under the leadership of young coach George Levy, he has won nine consecutive victories in the league. They are about to compete in the third round of the League Cup. Let's listen to what Blackburn coach Ray Sharpford thinks of this game.

In the TV picture is the gate of Ewood Park, and Ray Sharpot was interviewed by the media. This is just a very ordinary league cup. Burnley only has Blackburn in his eyes. Unfortunately, Blackburn is the Premier League champion team, and the teams we face are all top teams in Europe. The teams in the second division are not in our eyes.

Ray Sharpford's words can be said to be a naked contempt for Burnley**.

The BBC reporter showed a bad smile and said to the camera, "Next, let's listen to what the young coach George Levy, who has the title of coach Ge, thinks about this?"

George was interviewed at his doorstep and kept a consistent smile and said, "It's a sign of guiltyness to describe a derby as an ordinary league cup. Derby is Derby, which is different from ordinary games. Some people are very hypocritical. As soon as George opened his mouth, he satirized Sherford. Our Burnley's goal is very clear, which is to get to the Super League step by step. We have done our best for this goal. It's not like some clubs. It's so ambitious that I don't know how to position myself. The most pitiful thing in the world is that you can't carry your own weight.

Xia Ford despised Burnley, and George was also tit-for-tat. Sharpford said that Burnley and Blackburn were not at the same level. George was also sarcastic about Blackburn and didn't know how much he was.
