Chapter 80 Fame

"Barack! It's Ballack again! This is a long shot from 25 meters away. This is also Ballack's No.13 goal this year. Ballack is Burnley's player with the most goals this season. This Ballack this season is really unstoppable. We have always said that Ballack is an all-around midfielder, with good defense, strong long-range shots, headers, and accurate passing. He is currently the best midfielder in League One.”

"Robbie Keane... he dribbled past the goalkeeper, two to zero. Robbie Keane, 17, was already Burnley's main striker and scored more than double figures. Burnley played Nottingham The forest has no power to resist!!!”

"Ljungberg, Ljungberg fell in the penalty area... Red card plus penalty kick, wow, Nottingham Forest is really getting worse."

"Barack scored from the penalty, his second goal of the game and his No.14 goal for Burnley this season."

"It's a very head-to-head game in League One, between No.1 and No.2. Nottingham Forest were six points behind Burnley, and if they win this game they will be only three points behind. Unfortunately, judging from the current situation, the gap between them is getting bigger and bigger. Burnley's promotion seems to be a certainty."

This is the fifth round of No.20 in League One, and the time has already reached January 1998th, [-].Burnley have played five games from November to the beginning of January.Burnley only has the league during this period, without any cup tasks.

Except for the away draw by Stockport, the remaining four games were all victorious.

Burnley's morale is like a rainbow, with 24 wins, 56 draws and 24 losses in [-] rounds, accumulating [-] points.At the same time, Nottingham Forest only achieved three wins, one draw and one loss. With [-] points in [-] rounds, Burnley fell behind by a full six points.

In the fifth round of No.20, Burnley challenged Nottingham Forest away.

During this period of time, because there were more games, George has always rotated the lineup.But as Burnley's overall style of play becomes more and more mature, it is not a problem to rotate one or two players.

Among the current Burnley, there is only one person that George is least willing to rotate.It is the midfielder Ballack. He has completely become the core of Burnley's midfielder, and both offense and defense are under his control.

So once Ballack is not there, Burnley's offense will be very problematic.Although in the League One, with Ljungberg and Camoranesi two wing madmen, it is enough.But Ballack has good physical strength, so among the past five games, only one game has been rested.

This time Burnley challenged Nottingham Forest away, and George didn't leave any room for it.All the cards that could be used were used, because George had been thinking about how to get revenge on Nottingham Forest.

During George's suspension last time, he lost to Nottingham Forest at home, and George has always been brooding.And at that time, the local media in Nottingham also ridiculed Burnley, saying that George could only talk big.

That's why George said after the last game, "Nottingham Forest? It's just a win against the crippled Burnley. We will be away and let them know the strength of Burnley.".

…………

When Burnley defeated Nottingham Forest, Burnley's road to promotion was smooth.

First, they beat Wrexham from the National League [-]-[-] in the third round of the FA Cup.Time-restricted Kevin Phillips scored four goals as Burnley progressed to the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Then Burnley ushered in three league games, followed by the first round of the League Cup semi-final against Middlesbrough.But Burnley, who has entered the state, is already completely god-blocking and killing gods, and Buddhas blocking and killing Buddhas.

In the sixth round of No.20, Burnley beat Reading [-]-[-], which had just been defeated in the League Cup.Of course, not many people paid attention to this game. This is a game between the top team and the bottom team.There is no game yet, and everyone knows the result.

But No.20's seven rounds left everyone dumbfounded.

In the seventh round of the No.20 match, Burnley played away against Sunderland.Throughout the game, the upgrade opponent Sunderland was beaten wildly.In the last Sunderland fight, there was only one very outrageous long shot.Although the score was only two to zero, but if Burnley hadn't been unlucky and wasted too many opportunities, not to mention two goals, even five goals, six goals, or seven goals were possible.

After the game, the Sunderland players finally couldn't wait to escape from the pitch.Sunderland fans started leaving the field not long after the second half started.By the end of the game, there were fewer than 2000 fans left in the stadium.

After this game, all the media shouted that Burnley's strength has completely surpassed the level of League One.A team like Sunderland, which is aiming to upgrade, was beaten so madly in its own home court.

Between the 27th and 28th rounds of the League One, Burnley also played a match in the fourth round of the FA Cup.Maybe this year's Burnley is really a star, and they will run into another team from the English League C.Burnley entered the fifth round of the FA Cup with a header from Klose in the away game.

In fact, George was about to give up on the FA Cup, but the opponent was too weak. Even if most of the substitutes came on, they won the game.

In the eighth round of No.20, Burnley challenged and upgraded their opponent Charlton in an away game.In order to prepare for Middlesbrough's League Cup, George hid many of the main players in this game.In the end, relying on Camoranesi's personal strength, he created a suspected penalty kick.In the end Camoranesi scored a penalty of his own creation.

"I don't know if it should be said that George is lucky. Under the situation of rotating most of the main lineup, relying on Camoranesi's personal performance, he can still get three points from the away game. But it can be seen from this game that Bourne George's ambition. Burnley's goal is very obvious. For the Carling Cup semi-final, George would rather use the substitute lineup to play such an important game."

"But to be honest, this year's Burnley has the best chance to enter the League Cup final. I believe George, a young coach, is definitely not willing to give up the chance to win the League Cup."

George is very happy now, because after 28 rounds, Burnley is already 2 points ahead of No. [-] Nottingham Forest.Nottingham Forest's morale plummeted after a four-goal home defeat to Burnley.In the next game against Norwich, it turned out to be a goal lost to Norwich.

And in the following games, they were tied by the Wolves at home.

Fortunately, Nottingham Forest itself is strong, and in the third game against Middlesbrough, the momentum of a strong team was restored.In a head-to-head game they beat Middlesbrough [-]-[-].But it was too late, there were only [-] rounds left in the league, and Nottingham Forest was already [-] points behind Burnley.With Burnley's current state, everyone knows that Burnley's upgrade is absolutely no problem.

And the most injured is Middlesbrough. They played all the main players in the game against Nottingham Forest for a direct promotion spot.But not only was the game lost, but it was the League Cup semi-final three days later.
