36 Welcome to the First Division

After renting Frank Lampard, George announced the closure of the transfer market.

Burnley's move this year is not small. Last year, after dealing with many old players, George bought a total of eight players. This year, George also dealt with seven players, buying five players and renting one player.

Last year, George dealt with a large number of main players, which made many people worried about Burnley's future. But the players that George bought performed quite well, and the best one was, of course, Karel Bobowski. Bobowski was not only the best scorer in the English Second Division last season, but also the best assister in the English Second Division.

Therefore, Burnley was the first in the second division last season and became the champion of the second division without any suspense. I also got a list of upgrades.

I didn't expect that Manchester United would take out Burnley's biggest player as soon as they were promoted to the First Division. After Karel Bobowski moved to Manchester United for £4 million, I don't know how many Burnley fans began to curse Manchester United.

Of course, except for Bobowski, only Darren Huckaby, who left Burnley this year, are the main players. However, Darren Huckaby didn't score many goals in the second division. After George bought Kevin Phillips, everyone settled down. In their opinion, Kevin Phillips, who has scored more than a dozen goals in the First Division, is far better than Darren Huckaby.

And only Yongberg was bought in Bobowski's position, which worried many Burnley fans.

This worry makes George very funny. If possible, George would rather sell Popowski than Darren Huckaby. Jomberi is fully capable of replacing Bobowski, but Kevin Phillips and Darren Huckaby are completely different types of strikers.

Darren Huckaby is very fast and can hit almost all positions in the front court. But Kevin Phillips is a pure shooter and an opportunistic shooter. George is very happy if there is a versatile player like Darren Huckaby in the front court. Unfortunately, Burnley is not on the same level as Coventry in terms of attractiveness and competitiveness.

However, with the closure of the transfer market, the list of Burnley's first team has also come out.

goalkeeper: No. 1 Miller (33 years old, English), No. 22 Billy Felix (34 years old, English), No. 27 Martin Mims (21 years old, English).

Defender: No. 2 Grant (32 years old, English), No. 5 Mitchell King (33 years old, English), No. 4 Gary Brin (22 years old, Irish), No. 3 Daniel Morrison (18 years old, English), No. 17 David Ward (25 years old, English), No. 24 Oman Donaldson (26 years old, English), No. 28 Steve Fennan (20 years old, Irish), No. 33 Matthew Upson (17 years old, English).

Midfielder: No. 7 Frederick Yongbery (19 years old, Swedish), No. 8 Danny Murphy (19 years old, English), No. 6 Ian Coid (28 years old, English), No. 11 Ashley Chapman (19 years old, English), No. 13 Michael Barak (20 years old, German), No. 19 Neil Lennon (25 years old, Irish), No. 23 Frank Lampard (18 years old, English), No. 42 Solkamp (31 years old, English).

Forward: No. 12 Kevin Phillips (23 years old, English), No. 9 Richard Brody (27 years old, English), No. 15 Klose (18 years old, German), No. 33 David McGook (30 years old, Irish).

The above is the final list of Burnley's new season, and everyone's eyes are actually focused on Frederick Yongberg. In fact, there are many people in Burnley who can play right-back. Including Danny Murphy, Ashley Chapman and Solkamp are all able to play this position.

But George gave the number left by Pobosky to the 19-year-old Swedish player. And Yongbery is also the player with the highest transfer fee since George joined Burnley. Of course, he is also the player with the highest transfer fee in Burnley's history, which cost Burnley 800,000 pounds.

However, it is indeed a little different between Yongbery and Popowski, and Popowski also spent Burnley's highest transfer fee when he transferred. But Pobosky's surname is Nei Xiang, and he was soon able to integrate into the team after Burnley.

But after Yongberg came to Burnley, he was a little arrogant and unsociable. He always thinks he is superior, which gives George a headache.

However, Yongberg's strength has been unanimously recognized by the players, including the coaching staff who think that Yongberg's strength is very good. It is no less than the departing Bobowski.

The closure of the transfer door has given George and Evan Sawyer more time to study Burnley's tactical training in the new season.

Although Mitchell King is old, he can play the body and technology of the First Division. In the new season, George will continue to let Mitchell King and Gary Brin be the central defender for the new season. Grant on the right is a little older. George will gradually replace the old Grant with Steve Fennan this season.

With the addition of Lampard, George has to make great changes to the midfield. George's thinking has always been very clear, and he will talk about offense on the basis of good defense. Therefore, in the second division, George used Neil Lennon and Danny Murphy as defensive midfielders, while Ballack used the offensive midfielder most of the time.

But this time George asked Neil Lennon to play defensive midfield in the backcourt, and Ballack also retreated and became a midfielder. Not only to defend, but also to control the rhythm of the team. George knows that this will weaken Ballack's ability to score goals, but for the sake of the team as a whole, George can only sacrifice Barack.

And Lampard will be on the left, but the position is not fixed. Lampard will cover all positions in the front court, because Lampard's excellent running ability is what George needs most. Yongbery is going to insert it like a sharp knife.

George attaches great importance to the midfield. Whether it is offensive or defensive, the midfield is a must. Therefore, George wants to make Neil Lennon as a full-time defensive midfielder, and will also let Barak sacrifice his offensive ability to step back and control the rhythm of the whole team's game.

George has full trust in Barak and believes that even if he controls the game, Barak will definitely do a very good job.

The first choice of forward George is Richard Brody and Kevin Phillips.

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

It was just before the game that Burnley had several warm-up matches. There are winners and loses, and George doesn't value the results very much. What George is most interesting is the process of the game.

Generally speaking, Burnley's performance is okay, especially Barak, who retreated, showed strong control, which made George ecstatic.

Of course, there are many problems, especially Yongberg on the right. Yongberi is very strong and has an amazing breakthrough ability. But I always fight alone and don't like to cooperate with people. It gives George a headache.

Fortunately, during this period, in addition to being busy with the team's running-in, George has more important things.
