493 coincidence or intentional
The fifth round of the FA Cup will be played on February 20th.
There is only two days betweenand the eighth quarter final of the UEFA Champions League.
But these are not the reasons why British football pays attention to Blackburn. It's because of Blackburn's opponent this time that attracts everyone's attention. In terms of Blackburn's opponent, he is not strong at all. He was relegated two years ago and went to England's third-tier league team.
Last year, it was just promoted to the second tier league in England. But people care about the name of the club.
Blackburn's opponent in the fifth round of the FA Cup this time is their century-old rival Burnley.
When George drew the name, he was even stunned.
Burnley?
This is the name that George is least willing to mention. For more than five years, Blackburn has never had a chance to meet Burnley. I didn't expect to meet in the FA Cup. This made George a little angry.
With so many opponents, you actually drew Burnley for me.
Isn't this the intention to embarrass me?
After drawing lots, many reporters also found this problem. He immediately surrounded George and wanted to hear what George, a famous European coach, thinks about his old boss.
But George was gloomy and didn't answer them at all.
Although Burnley is not his taboo, it is also a club that George absolutely does not want to mention.
George thought Burnley had been relegated. He should not have seen it for a long time. I didn't expect to meet in the FA Cup. Football League, I rely on your ancestors!
George not only did not talk to reporters, but also issued a shut-down order to the team.
Especially Klose.
Cloz is the only player who followed George from Burnley to Blackburn. There will definitely be a reporter asking him.
Although he has become a world-class striker, Klose still doesn't like to face reporters. I am even more reluctant to answer this kind of ** question. George was afraid that Klose would be difficult to do, so he directly issued a silence order.
Seeing that George was out of oil and salt, these reporters immediately went to Tottenham Hotspur.
Their interviewee this time is Tottenham's left-back Daniel. Morrison. As the captain of Burnley when George coached Burnley, Burnley's newspaper even said that George and Daniel were like father and son...
There are many things about George and Daniel in British football.
Some people say that George and Daniel have turned against each other, while others say that the relationship between the two has always been good. It's just that Daniel is unwilling to join his sworn enemy Blackburn, so he joined Tottenham Hotspur, which is inextricably related to George.
Anyway, there are different opinions.
Everyone is guessing.
However, both parties kept their mouths shut.
The media is cheap. The parties did not speak, but they were more interested. They don't know how much they have written about George and Daniel over the years.
But everyone thinks it's a novel.
This time Blackburne and Burnley played the FA Cup, and these reporters went to Tottenham Hotspur to visit Daniel. Morrison.
Daniel is very serious.
Or since he left Burnley and came to Tottenham Hotspur, Daniel hasn't laughed in front of the media. It has always been this cold image. It should be said that Daniel has been like this since George became Blackburn.
Therefore, many Premier League reporters think that Daniel's original surname is like this. Only those who have known Daniel before will know that Daniel used to like to tell jokes.
"Of course I want Burnley to win."
Daniel's answer is very simple.
But the reporter didn't want to let him go. Daniel, what do you think about Coach Levy? Some people say that you still have a good relationship, while others say that you..."
Daniel looked at the reporter and then his expression was stagnant.
"I'm a Tottenham Hotspur player. I won't comment on the coaches of other clubs.
After saying that, he opened the reporter and left the place.
When he was far away from the reporter, Daniel narrowed his eyes slightly. Then he shook his head.
George. Levy?
I can see him every season. Of course, even if it is not on the field, George is always very popular in ordinary football newspapers. But in Daniel's heart, George, whom he is familiar with, has already gone.
Hate George? Daniel has never had such an idea in his mind.
However, Daniel is absolutely unwilling to mention George in front of others. Because he can't tell how he feels about George now.
So he can only avoid the topic of George.
Reporters are very disappointing.
George and Daniel, the people in the Burnley team, didn't talk. News without hype is the most painful thing for journalists.
But reporters have a lot of ideas.
After they went back, they immediately wrote the news. Burnley, the obsession in George's heart!" "What was wrong with leaving Burnley back then?" This kind of article was already scrambled many years ago.
Now they have nothing to write about, so they took him out again.
Of course, there are others." The teacher of that year was already a stranger!" "Daniel shut up and didn't talk about George!"
Anyway, this is their ability.
............ "Look, what they are writing in a mess."
George looked at the newspaper and was rarely angry.
"George, don't do this. These journalists are like this. But do you know the current situation of Burnley?" Miranda said with a smile as she cleaned up the newspaper thrown by George.
George looked up at Miranda and nodded slightly.
After becoming the head coach of Blackburn, George didn't care much about Burnley. But George still knows some big things about Burnley. The media said that Burnley was George's obsession, but it was not completely wrong.
Burnley is indeed like a thorn, deeply rooted in George's heart. It's just that George has always covered him.
So George still knows the important things about Burnley.
"George, look at this, you may be happy."
After saying that, Miranda pulled out another newspaper from the side.
George looked at it and was very surprised.
Coach Levy is Burnley's meritorious coach. It was not his fault that he left at that time. Although he became the head coach of Blackburn, he is still one of the greatest coaches in Burnley's history. I hope Burnley fans don't be too harsh on George.
"When I came to Tefmore Stadium this time, I appeal to Burnley fans not to boo George. I want the fans to respect this Burnley's meritorious coach.
This passage is not said by any football commentator or other famous football players.
This is Brandon. Flood said.
Brandon. Fluard is just a little man in British football, and even in the list of the richest people in England. But his other identity led to his words appearing in the front page.
Brandon. Flood is Burnley's current boss.
Because of the obsession in his heart, George still knows the big things that happened to them. For this Blanco. Flude also knows about it.
Burnley was relegated to England's Second Division in 2000 and relegated to England's Third Division again in 2002. Finally, Barry. Kilby can't hold on any longer.
Barry. Kilby has made a lot of money since he invested in Burnley in 1995. Three million yuan in that year earned tens of millions of pounds in 2002. It's a good deal to buy and sell. He earns even more money than his original fortune. But by 2002, Barry. Kilby really can't hold on.
It's not because of lack of money.
A third-tier English league, Kilby can still afford it. Even in England's second division, there is no big problem with Kilby's possessions. The main reason is that I'm too aggrieved.
Burnley fans scolded him every day and even threatened his safety.
If Burnley doesn't have any glory, then there is nothing. The problem is that Burnley was the champion of the League Cup and the FA Cup in 1998, and also entered the Premier League. In addition, George, who left Burnley, achieved one brilliant record after another in Blackburn.
This has deeply stimulated Burnley fans.
So they transferred their anger to Barry. On Kilby's body.
They not only scold on the court and on the roadside, but also scold as long as the fans get together. Even with the development of the Internet, I don't know who has announced the family situation of Kilby. The police have investigated, but they have not found out.
This caused Kilby to be even frightened. I'm afraid that these fans will go crazy and do something crazy.
In the end, Kilby couldn't help selling the club to Brandon. Flude. A little different from Kilby, the Flude family is Burnley's family. Their family has been rooted in Burnley for more than 300 years.
Although Brandon. Flude is doing business in London to make money. But many people in their family are still in Burnley.
So when Kilby sold the club, the Flude family accepted it.
This is Brandon. Flood is Burnley's new chairman.
What he did is not very bad. The preference of the chairman will also affect the choice of the head coach. Even in British football.
Brandon. After Flood became the chairman of Burnley, he did not spend a lot of money. Instead, he began to re-use Burnley youth training players, and the effect was quite good. In his first season with Burnley, he led the team back to England's second division. Among Burnley's main players, there are three players from the youth training camp. There are also many young youth training camp players in the bench.
Last season, Burnley used their youth training camp players on a large scale, and there were five players trained in the main lineup. And they are quite young, and they are almost qualified for the Premier League promotion play-offs.
So many Burnley fans like Brandon very much. The new chairman of Flude.
George didn't expect it.
Brandon. Fluard would speak like this in front of reporters.
Although we never met, George had a good impression of the new president.
But it's a pity.
If I had partnered with such a chairman, how could I leave Burnley and come to Blackburn?
But I'm also very happy now.
Although it is not that he gave up his hostility to George as soon as he stated that Burnley fans. But the more hostile George is, the happier he will be.
"I have a chance to meet Mr. Flood. Even if you can't be friends, there is no need to be enemies. Miranda is also a Burnley native. But since he married George, he has never dared to step into Burnley at will.
Who knows if Burnley will have very radical fans.
Miranda is also regretful about this.
Anyway, I grew up in Burnley, and the relationship is very deep.
"Ye-huh."
George nodded. But I don't think so.
Thanks to Brandon. Flude, but George didn't know his idea. Everyone is already a stranger, what's the use of meeting again?
