"Mitchell, how are you? How are you recovering?" George looked at Mitchell, very happy.

George had just met Professor Cook from Burnley Hospital. Professor Cook told George that Mitchell's injury recovered very well. Mitchell was able to do ball training, which made George happy.

When facing Blackburn, George is not careless at all. Derby, Derby has always been an unpopular place.

Manchester City can defeat Manchester United, Atletico Madrid can defeat the powerful Real Madrid, and Espanyol can defeat Barcelona. These are not surprising in the derby.

Besides, Blackburn is a Premier League team and Burnley is an English League One team. Although Burnley has the advantage in the situation of their respective leagues. Burnley currently swept all sides in the League One, and Blackburn's performance in the Premier League is not satisfactory, Burnley is still at a disadvantage.

Therefore, George was very cautious in dealing with Blackburn.

At this moment, Burnley's old captain Mitchell returned from injury and was definitely a tranquilizer for Burnley's defense.

Mitchell stepped hard and smiled happily. "George, look. My feet are almost done, and I can catch up with the fourth round of the League Cup with Blackburn."

Mitchell is a Burnley native and has been hostile to Blackburn since he was a child. The last time he defeated Blackburn in the League Cup was a thing worth remembering for Mitchell. This time he met Blackburn again, Mitchell had only happiness in his heart.

After all, Blackburn is in the Premier League and Burnley is in the League One, so it is not easy to meet.

"Mitchell, don't worry. There is still half a month left, and you need to recover well."

"Yeah." Mitchell nodded. "In the past, many clubs in England did not have regular team doctors, and those players would become team doctors when they retired. Maybe it was because they became doctors after a long illness. You can almost know how my injuries were."

George laughed, but he was very moved by Mitchell's words.

English clubs have always not valued team doctors. As Mitchell said, many players become club team doctors after retirement. Team doctors who are not qualified as doctors will make many players lose the best moments of treatment.

In some large clubs, although the team doctors are very formal, those coaches don’t care about the team doctor’s opinions at all, which will affect the careers of many players.

This kind of thing is something that everyone knows in English football, that is, there are still some team doctors in England clubs that do not have the qualifications to be doctors.

"Mitchell, we're all waiting for you."

Fortunately, the fourth round of the League Cup will not start after the 15th round of the League One. That is to say, Burnley will have to play five more league games before the match against Blackburn.

Although George and Burnley fans are looking forward to the match with Blackburn, the league is the fundamental one. The biggest task this season is still to upgrade, so George attaches great importance to these five games.

Continuing the strength of the first ten games, Burnley's performance in these five games is still extremely brave. Burnley won three wins and two draws in five games.

Especially in the 15th round of the League One, Burnley almost let all the main players get off the court to rest. Even the main goalkeeper Jass Cranen sat on the bench and watched the game. In this game, George really carried forward shamelessness. After Robbie Keane was left on the front line, everyone present returned to halftime defense.

It fully developed George's saying "Even if you can't win a football game, don't lose." Fortunately, George faced Reading, the weakest attacking team in the League One, and was lucky enough to keep the draw.

However, no one cared about this game, including Burnley fans and the media, and people's eyes were all concentrated in the fourth round of the League Cup in Burnley and Blackburn.

In the League Cup two years ago, Burnley and Blackburn had a great battle. The battle of words before and after the game also made many media happy. Burnley was just a team in the League Two. But Burnley has become a popular upgrade in the League One, and George is much more famous than at that time.

Therefore, as soon as this draw came out, many media have been paying attention to the game.

"Blackburn, I like this opponent. And I have beaten Blackburn, I am familiar with Blackburn." George replied very easily in front of the reporter.

George just said casually and never thought about fighting with Blackburn. But Blackburn is different, especially Blackburn coach Roy Hodgson, who is under great pressure now.

Just after less than a day George talked, Roy Hodgson also accepted an interview. In the interview, Roy Hodgson criticized George bluntly. "As a young coach, I think he needs to learn a lot. At this stage, what Coach Levy should do is not to be polite and learn humbly. It is not easy for coaches to do it. Being a coach is not just polite."

Roy Hodgson was standing in the air and looking down, and persuaded George. But Hodgson really had this qualification.

Hodgson achieved outstanding results in Sweden and Switzerland. From 1985 to 1990, Hodgson coached Sweden's Malmö team, winning two league titles and two cup championships. Later, he led the Swiss national team, which had never reached the finals of the competition since the 1960s, to reach the quarterfinals of the 1994 World Cup in the United States and the quarterfinals of the 1996 European Cup.

Before coaching Blackburn, he also coached Serie A giants Inter Milan. Hodgson was also one of the candidates for the head coach of the England national team, including the German national team, who were interested in him. Such a coach is of course qualified to say that George.

However, Hodgson coaches Blackburn, it seems not so wise. Blackburn has been in a state of turmoil in the past two years. After Hodgson came to Blackburn, Blackburn's performance this season was also very bad. He has been hovering in the relegation area.

But Hodgson is like this, George is very unhappy. Don’t say that you are Hodgson, even Ferguson can’t do this. So George immediately refuted Hodgson. “I am a coach with a coaching certificate. There is no need for someone to tell me how to be a coach. I think he should pray first, and don’t lead the team to relegate this season.”

The game has not yet begun, and the verbal battle between George and Hodgson has already made many media excited.

There are actually not many things that can be hyped in this game, it’s just a derby. However, because of George, the youngest coach in the English professional club, and a coach with a distinct personality, the game is particularly interesting.

"Blackburn is the only team that has won the Premier League championship so far, except Manchester United. But from the Premier League championship to now hovering in the relegation zone, Blackburn's decline is the most surprising. From the Premier League championship in 1995, it has been less than three years, Blackburn's coach has changed one after another. First, Daglish gave up the position of head coach, Ray Shaford coached for a short time, Daglish took over temporarily, Kidd took over for a year, and Roy Hodgson, the turbulent Blackburn, speaking of the current young coach George, has also made some contributions. Ray Shaford's Blackburn had just shown signs of getting out of the predicament, and was fed three goals by Burnley at home. In the end, Ray Shaford's resignation also caused Blackburn's turmoil in recent years."

"In the fifteenth round of the league, Burnley won 10 and draws 4 and lost 1, and accumulated 34 points, ranking first in the League One. The road to upgrade was smooth, and the young coach Levy became the least popular coach for Blackburn fans because of his behavior of provoking fans in Ewood Park last time."

"Speaking of this, Blackburn and Burnley were a pair of mortal enemies, and their games were usually full of fire. This time, it was even more eye-catching because of coach Levy. I believe that as long as George is still in Burnley, every collision between Burnley and Blackburn will be as eye-catching as it is now."
