"Mitchell, long time no see."
Mitchell also looks old. The tough man's face is now full of wrinkles.
Mitchell is not very old. He is two years younger than Carl, but now he looks more than 50 years old. I can't see how powerful he was on the court at all.
George is grateful to Mitchell.
I am very grateful.
George and Mitchell have known each other for many years. George knew this person before he became a member of Burnley's coaching staff.
Later, at the age of 27 years old, he became the head coach of Burnley. In fact, he really couldn't suppress it. Without the support of the veteran players led by Mitchell, George would not be seated as Burnley's head coach. As the old captain of Burnley, Mitchell was of great help to George, who was still young at that time. However, George later became the head coach of Blackburn, and Mitchell was furious and never contacted George again.
Mitchell looks very complicated.
George, this is a person that Mitchell doesn't want to recall.
Mitchell's most glorious career is George's three years of coaching. Mitchell even thought about why George didn't become Burnley's head coach earlier. At that time, Mitchell admired George in his heart.
But as soon as George turned around, he became Blackburn's head coach.
Mitchell did not complain that George left Burnley in anger at that time. After all, it was Kilby, the owner of Burnley at that time, who did something wrong, and it was natural for George to leave. But George turned to become the head coach of Blackburn, but Mitchell couldn't forgive him.
Mitchell is a native player of Burnley. The hatred for Blackburn is deeply rooted.
So George can't be forgiven at all.
I didn't expect to go around. Eleven years later, George actually returned to Burnley.
Mitchell, like those Burnley fans, is in a very complicated mood now.
"George, long time no see." Mitchell answered mechanically.
George knew that Mitchell had a pimple in his heart. This kind of pimple can't disappear in a moment. So George smiled and said, "Mitchell, it's the same as the first time. Now Burnley is at another crossroads. I hope you can really help me.
Mitchell nodded.
Although he has pimples for George, he can still cooperate with George if it is for the club.
George looked at Mitchell's attitude and was very happy. Mitchell is a public and private person. I will definitely not play that kind of method behind my back.
As long as there is Mitchell's support, it will be much easier in Burnley.
Mitchell started in Burnley's youth training camp as a teenager, went to the first team, and later became the captain of the team. The captain's armband has been around for more than ten years. After that, he joined Burnley's coaching staff for more than a decade.
Mitchell has been in Burnley for more than 30 years. The influence in Burnley is unparalleled.
So even if George is now a world-famous man, he still needs Mitchell's cooperation to control Burnley in a short time. If Mitchell doesn't cooperate and makes some moves in the back, then George will really walk Waterloo in Burnley.
After meeting Mitchell, George will go to the team to see his players in the next six months.
"Head."
The first person who came to say hello to George was the current captain of Burnley and Ashley, George's disciple. Chapman.
This is true for English football clubs. Qualifications are the most important thing. Ashley. Chapman has been in Burnley's first team for 14 years, so he has also been the captain.
"Ashley, you are the captain now."
Eleven years of star shift. My former disciples are now thirty-one-year-old veterans.
"Yes, head. It has been so many years."
is different from Daniel and Mitchell. Although under George, he is not the main player. But Ashley. Chapman doesn't have that kind of hatred for George, but misses him more.
George patted Ashley on the shoulder and then looked at the players who began to gather behind him.
None of these players are familiar to George.
As the captain, Ashley introduced him to George one by one.
Burnley's players are generally young. Many players are in their twenties, but they don't have so much hatred for George. For more than a decade, George has been a taboo in Burnley. Many people don't want to talk about it. So for young players, there is no such hatred for George.
And hate is often the opposite of love.
Without a certain feeling, there will be no hatred. There will be as much hatred as there are feelings.
In the eyes of these young players, George is a world-class coach from England. He has won countless honors. And the head coach who just won the Champions League last season. And Burnley is just a relegated team. It's a surprise to be able to invite a big Buddha like George.
And George has a mysterious aura.
Like Ferguson and Wenger, George has trained countless young geniuses. After his instructions, many players have become world-class superstars. Of course, these little players have big dreams.
Therefore, in George's eyes, many young players are risking little stars.
George greeted them one by one. These players George already knew a lot before he came. There are really some good seedlings in it. If it is used well, it must be a good player in the Premier League in a few years.
After the introduction, George stood in front.
Although he has just become the head coach of Burnley, Brandon. Flood didn't follow George to the court. George and Carl just followed Mitchell and came straight to them.
"Hirty, gentlemen. I'm George. Levy."
Maybe I've been a coach for longer and longer, and I'm a little older. George used to like to get along with players, but it was a little rough and simple to deal with things. But now George is getting milder and milder.
Greet them with a smile.
"Gentlemen?" Several players looked at each other in con's face. What they read from the newspaper is that George is very strong in the locker room. He doesn't have a good temper. But today, did George have a good temper?
"Half a year, I will be with you for half a year." George's beginning is very ordinary. After half a season, we only have two endings. One is relegation, and the other is relegation.
"To be honest, the downgrade has little impact on me. But for you, it is a big thing. Once the club is relegated, you think a few of you can stay in the Premier League. So don't talk about the big truth. Just for yourself, you should also have a good game.
"Okay, let's talk about it today. Let's train."
As soon as George didn't come, he let Carl receive the team's training. Both of them now know Burnley, which can be seen from the picture. We need to continue to understand.
On December 28, 2009, the 20th round of the Premier League.
George, who has not appeared in front of the media for half a year, once again appeared in everyone's sight.
"Half a year, half a year is not a long time. Many people almost forget George. Without George's son, they feel that there is something missing in the Premier League. Now George is finally back."
Mottson explained with a smile.
"This is George's first game since he re-entered Burnley. We are all looking forward to Burnley's new look in George's hands.
In the 20 rounds of the Premier League, Burnley challenged the Wolves away.
The Wolves are promoted horses. It took McCarthy three years to bring Wolves to the Premier League. However, McCarthy's Wolves' performance this season is still very eye-catching.
In this game, although George sat in the coach's seat. But it was not directed by George.
The command was still handed over to Mitchell.
George joined Burnley, and it's only been two days now. In two days, to be honest, I can't do anything. George just learned more about the characteristics of the players and measured the main lineup in his mind.
The players work very hard.
They all want to make a good impression on George.
Although it is only half a year, the young players all want to get George's affirmation.
The same is true for this game.
Burnley players are very active.
But George shook his head. Running actively and having such physical strength should be commendable. Unfortunately, many of their runs are useless. It's just a waste of physical strength. No midfielder can comb the midfielder and can't integrate their running, which is the biggest problem.
In fact, Burnley has a player in the midfield, and George is very optimistic.
He is also a midfielder Gareth trained by Burnley Youth Training Camp. Gray. One of his greatest abilities is physical strength. The average running distance of each game this season has reached more than 11,600 meters.
More than 11,600 meters.
Those midfielders have strong running ability. It's really not a big problem to run such a distance in a game. But the average running distance can reach this point, which is absolutely rare.
I have a lot of physical strength.
Can run. Gareth. Gray is a typical English midfielder. Able to defend and attack. Strong comprehensive ability. The attack can go up and the defense can go down.
But neither attack nor defense are top-notch.
But one of the reasons why George is optimistic about him is that in addition to his strong physical strength, his basic skills are very solid. There are few mistakes in passing in the 10-meter and 15-meter areas. And no matter what kind of pass it is, it is rarely a mistake to stop the ball.
Add the current Gareth. Gray is only 21 years old.
In George's opinion, there is still a great possibility of development.
Although it is very **. But there are still many problems with this kind of blind play. McCarthy's Wolves also play hard. But their style of play is more targeted.
The first half was not over. With a very simple raid, Wolves led Burnley 1-0.
In the second half, Wolves scored the second goal with a counterattack. George lost -2 in Burnley's first game.
