This is the list of players for Burnley's 97-98 season. From the beginning of this season, George will change the problem of his previous offensive right-leaning and prepare a two-winged tactic. And Burnley has always been a tactic of stabilizing the defense first and then counterattacking.

But George is ready to change this situation, so he won't have three backs like the last two seasons. The recovery of the traditional 4-4-2 began, and Yongberi had to sacrifice himself a little for this tactic.

Yongberi is an all-round player who can be left and right, but the best position is still in the right forward position. But with Camoranesi, George was going to let Yongberg go to the left. Let Yongberg and Daniel form the left side, and Yongberg can shoot inside.

And the bigger move is to liberate Barak, and George is ready to make Barak a free midfielder. According to the situation on the court, when you need to defend, Ballack will become a midfielder. When attacking, you should not only control the rhythm of the midfield, but also participate in the shooting.

In George's tactics, Ballack should become the ruler from the 30-meter area of his forbidden area to the 30-meter area of the opponent's forbidden area. Although he has some strong demand for Ballack, who is only 21 years old now, George believes that Ballack can still do it in League One.

These are just tactical changes, but two veteran players are going to give up their main positions at the beginning of this season. It's right-back Grant and goalkeeper Miller, but these two and captain Mitchell King are the old men of the team.

Not only has a great influence in the team, but also has a high appeal among the fans. It is also George's job to appease them.

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

"Mitchell, Grant and Miller, I want to thank the three of you first." George invited the three of them to the hotel in York.

These three people have been working with George for a long time and have known each other for seven years. The three of them, like traditional English players, like drinking very much. So George poured a glass of wine for each of them. For these veteran team members, drinking is the happiest thing.

Many of the regulations formulated by George at the beginning can be followed by all three people. Only George's prohibition on alcohol is quite unpleasant.

"Head, what do you want to thank us for?" Mitchell was about to drink when he heard George's words and put down his glass.

"Thank you for supporting me at the beginning. We can upgrade from the second division. Without the support of the three of you, it is impossible. At that time, George introduced eight new players, although they will all be great stars in the future. But at that time, it was just a seventeen or eight-year-old child.

And the three of them, as the old man of the team, supported George, so that George could spend the time safely.

Mitchell shook his head, put down his glass and asked with a smile, "George, there is a saying that I wanted to ask you when I was very early." Mitchell suddenly called George's name as usual.

"You said."

"I've always been curious if I was against you cleaning the players at that time. Will you list me?" Not only Mitchell, but also Grant and Miller next to him looked at George.

"I will." George answered positively without hesitation. But Mitchell, I'm sure I won't go that far. Because I know that you have more affection for the club than anyone else, you will never do that stupid thing. At that point, you and I, of course, the club, will be ruined.

"George, be happy." Mitchell laughed and had a cup of dry. In fact, George, you don't have to thank us. At the end of our career, we can see Burnley's hope, which is the best gift you bring us.

Yes, George. We didn't see the future of the club before, but you gave us hope. What you said at the press conference was so up-reated. Miller also echoed Mitchell next to him.

Gran nodded with great interest. Yes. George, maybe I can go to the Premier League because of you.

Although George is not an alcoholic, his drinking capacity is definitely not simple. I drank several cups with the three of them in a row, but in addition to being a little excited, I was still quite sober.

"Mitchell, Grant, Miller, you have contributed your entire career to the club. However, I'm looking for you today..." George was helpless about what they said. But professional football is so cruel.

"George, you don't have to say anything." Mitchell interrupted George and sighed. George, I understand. You are looking for our three old guys, hoping that we can give up the main position. We all know that we have guessed from the time you asked the three of us to drink.

George looked up at the three of them. They were old and refined.

"I'm sorry, I have to think about Burnley's development. Grant and Miller, you two will be replaced by Fennan and Asclinen. I hope you can understand." George talked to the three people very sincerely.

These three people are not only in the present, but also in the future. George and Kilby talked about the problems of the three of them. Burnley has been struggling in the lower league for decades, and there are few such old players. Now there are these good players who have played for the team for more than ten years, and the club should treat them well. This is also the process of cultivating a club culture.

Miller nodded and suddenly laughed. George, I already knew it when I was training. You have a good vision. Yas Kleinen is much better than me. Even when I was young, I didn't have the strength of him.

"George, thank you for preparing such an occasion today. Don't worry, I won't make trouble. I'm past that age, too."

Grant next to

didn't say anything, but also nodded.

"Thank you. In fact, I wanted to talk to you a long time ago. Have you ever thought about what happened after retirement? If possible, I hope you can stay in the club. Or join my coaching staff or become a member of the club. George is very grateful to these three people for their attitude. If they are not convinced, it will be another disturbance.

Grant and Miller heard it for the first time, so they looked at each other in con's sight.

Football players are stars and are loved by thousands of people. But that's only for football stars. Ordinary players have to consider how to make a living after retirement. Now that George has even thought of this for them, the two of them are of course very happy.

"George, it's our honor to stay in the club."

"Let's sign a new contract, the player/coach contract, sometime. Of course, if you want to continue to develop, you should study the coaching course. It's okay to be a scout. Anyway, Burnley is increasing the number of scouts now.

(Today is New Year's Eve. I wish you all a happy New Year.)
