26 Ferguson
Two days after Christmas, the second division has rekindled the war. Maybe the Christmas carnival is too much, and many players are powerless. In the 25th round, Burnley drew 00:00 away from home to Peterborough United.
Svinden, who ranked second in the Second Division, performed well, sweeping Chesterfield, one of his opponents, 1-0. It narrowed the gap with Burnley.
However, in the twenty-sixth round, Burnley was so powerful that he easily defeated Chesterfield 5-1 at home. Chesterfield, who ranked fourth before Christmas, fell five places and ranked ninth after two consecutive defeats. In this game, Bobowski completed the hat-trick again. This is Bobowski's second hat-trick in the second division.
In the twenty-seventh round, he beat Stoke Port 2-0 away. In the twenty-eighth round, Hull City was swept 8-2, and Pobosky and Huckaby completed their hat-tricks. It was also Burnley's game with the most goals this season. Bobowski completed a feat in this game, scoring and assisting a hat-trick. Now Bobowski is more and more adapted to the English Second Division, and his cooperation with the Burnley team is also becoming more and more tacit.
With the hat-trick of this game, Bobowski has scored 19 goals and assisted 20 assists in the league. He is at the top of both the goal and assists list.
............
The excellent record during this period of time has immersed the whole city of Burnley in joy. Now the average number of seats in Burnley's home game has exceeded 15,000. Especially in recent games, there will be at least 18,000 fans in each game. Such a number is a pediatric in the eyes of big players such as Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal, and even the number of seats in an insignificant League Cup will reach 20,000 to 30,000.
But if you put it in Burnley, which has a population of only 80,000, you can know how horrible the number of people is.
"Hello, hello. I'm George." That day, George was considering a summer transfer when a phone call came to George's mobile phone. At this time, mobile phones are obviously not as advanced as in the 21st century, but they are more convenient than fixed-line phones. Especially for a coach like George, he needs to wear one.
"Hello, Coach Levy. I'm Ferguson." A voice with a very strong Scottish accent came into George's ears.
George was stunned, Ferguson? As long as you are in the field of football, you can't know who the Secretary-General of the United Nations is, but you must not know who Ferguson is. What's more, George, a man from later generations, Ferguson's achievements are a legend in later generations.
George almost blurted out his name, "Sir Ferguson". However, I thought that Ferguson was a knighthood with the Triple Crown, so I immediately changed my mind. Hello, Coach Ferguson. It's a great honor to receive your call."
"Coach Levy, you should be able to think of it. I'm doing it for Pobosky." Ferguson laughed a few times on the phone and then spoke with that strong Scottish accent. Fortunately, there are some simple dialogues, otherwise you may not understand them for a while.
"Pobosky? I don't understand what you mean. The winter transfer is only two days away. Manchester United doesn't want to introduce Bobowski at this time, does it? The transfer period of the Premier League is coming to an end. Why did Manchester United take action now?
"Yes, I just want to introduce him in winter. But we can lend you half a season and take it back next year. Ferguson actually found Pobosky after watching Burnley's game in January. In particular, Popowski had two hat-tricks in January, which made Ferguson very moved.
"I don't know how much transfer fee Manchester United can pay?" George was very angry because Ferguson didn't pay attention to Burnley at all.
"One million pounds." Ferguson said very generously. Of course, this is what Ferguson thinks. It is an outrageous price for England's second division players to pay a million pounds.
But when George heard this number, he couldn't wait to go to Manchester and kick Ferguson on the other end of the phone. In half a year, Pobowski will be worth more than three million pounds after the European Cup. You have only paid one million now, and you are still very generous.
"I'm sorry, Coach Ferguson. I don't want to affect Burnley's good situation because of the transfer of players. George declined Ferguson, but he didn't say anything. We can talk about this issue at the end of the season. For the sake of your personal call, I can guarantee that I will take the lead in considering Manchester United under the same conditions at the end of the season.
George knew that it would be difficult for him to keep Bobowski at the end of the season. After the European Cup, Bobowski will become the target of competition for the European giants, and it is impossible for Bobowski to stay in a second-tier league in England.
Ferguson on the other end of the phone laughed. George, you are waiting for the European Cup. I hope Bobosky will perform well in the European Cup and sell it at a good price. Ferguson was indeed an old fox, and he guessed what George thought at once.
"Yes, I'm very optimistic about the Czech Republic's prospects for the European Cup." George didn't hide his thoughts.
"Okay, George, then we have a verbal agreement."
Putting down the phone, Ferguson smiled and said to Breen behind him, "This young man is interesting."
George on the other side of the phone felt a sense of weakness. When he met a giant like Ferguson, Burnley didn't even have any strength to fight.
............
George didn't have much time to think about Ferguson. When he introduced Popowski, George didn't have the idea of making a small profit from the European Cup. It can be used for a year, and it can be sold at a high price after a year. Therefore, he was psychologically prepared for Bobowski's departure from George.
Burnley continued to play in the English Second Division and returned home in the 29th round, beating Notts County 1-0. In the thirtieth round, he defeated Walshar 2-0 away.
In the 31st round, Burnley was tied by Swansea 1-0 at home. He stopped the five-game winning streak in the league, but George was very happy. Because of this game, George made most of the main players rest, and because of the previous game, many main players felt very tired.
However, with the rapid advance during this period, Burnley scored 75 points in the 31st round, ranking first. The gap between Svinden and Burnley has widened to 11 points.
After Christmas, Burnley is already unstoppable in the second division. Everyone knows that no one can stop Burnley's upgrade this year.
