71 Another collision
The victory over the powerful Middlesbrough away allowed Burnley players to completely get rid of the downturn in the first three games.
Of course, George, a young coach, is becoming a big topic in League One, not only because of George's age. What's more, because of Burnley's excellent performance, Burnley's performance in League One is completely dominant.
To deal with Middlesbrough, which has just been relegated from the Premier League, Middlesbrough has no chance for the whole game.
Recognized by the whole of England, the most talented in recent decades, Gascoigne, who staged a genius blow in the European Cup two years ago, is completely at a disadvantage in this game and Barak's fight. While sighing about the fall of a generation of geniuses, many media are also amazed at Burnley's midfield performance.
Although many local media in League One clubs attacked George. But it's not because Burnley is indeed strong now, and it is indeed the most popular reason for upgrading.
After the end of the eighth round, Burnley ushered in the second round of the League Cup, Wigan of the English Second Division.
In fact, Burnley should play the second round of the League Cup after the fifth round of the League One. However, the game was postponed because Wigan's home court collapsed at that time. At that time, Burnley asked to be either at the Tefumore Stadium or the Neutral Stadium, but unfortunately the FA did not approve it.
Therefore, the second round of the League Cup was postponed for more than half a month before it was played at Wigan's home court.
Now Burnley has the confidence. For such a weak team as Wigan, George has let many of the main players choose to rest. However, Burnley still relied on a free kick created by Ashley Chapman, and Matthew Upson scored the only goal.
After the second round of the League Cup, Burnley immediately ushered in the ninth round of the League One. In this game, Burnley plays at home against Bailey, a small team that has been in the lower league all year round.
Burnley defeated the visiting Bailey 2-0 with goals from Robby Keane and Barak.
In the tenth round of League One, Burnley went to Bradford. Located in the middle of the United Kingdom, the city of Bradford is one of the top ten cities in the United Kingdom. Its early prosperity was based on the wool and textile industries. It was once known as the wool capital of the world. There is a League One football club here, which is Bradford Football Club.
Bradford is one of the top ten cities in the UK, with a population of more than 400,000. Bradford is not only small enough to be easy to manage, but also large enough to have a full range of facilities in a thriving modern city. It is connected with road, rail and air transportation across the country. It is very convenient and is located in the most beautiful and spectacular countryside in England.
Although Bradford is so famous, the League One Club Bradford is a veritable weak team. Not only is history lacking, but it is also a great thing to be able to mix in the League One now.
George did not despise the Bradford team because they were weak. It is still the strongest lineup, and the players are also very competitive. The left side of Yongberg and Daniel performed well in this game. It completely blew up the right side of Bradford. Youngberg scored and assisted, and Daniel also assisted.
Burnley defeated Bradford 3-0 away.
In the first ten rounds, Burnley won seven wins, two draws and one loss, with 23 points. He surpassed Nottingham Forest by one point and ranked first in the League One.
Now Burnley's upgrade situation is very good. In the first ten rounds, Burnley has played against the popular Nottingham Forest and Middlesbrough.
After the tenth round of the league, Burnley had another game for the League Cup. This is already the third round of the League Cup. I don't know if Burnley met a weak team in the third round of the League Cup this year to compensate for last year's regret. Also from Stoke City in the League One.
Stoke City has a long history. It is the second oldest football club in the world except Knots County. However, a long history does not mean that it is strong. Stoke City is now ranked at the end of League One, which is the favorite for relegation this year.
Although League One and League Two are both low-level leagues in England, League One is much better than League Two. Stoke City is certainly unwilling to be relegated, and they have been completely substituted in the first two rounds. Unfortunately, Stoke City is luckier than Burnley in the League Cup, and it has met the third division team in two consecutive rounds. They were very lucky to break into the third round of the League Cup, but their good luck ended here.
Stoke City is unwilling to spend its spirit in the League Cup, so it is sent as substitutes and even some youth team players. George is the same. Although George also wants to make a breakthrough in the League Cup this year, he will not send the main force for such a game.
In the end, Burnley still relied on veteran Ian Coid to defeat Stoke City 1-0 and enter the fourth round of the League Cup.
............
"Grandma, no way." George looked at his opponent in the fourth round of the League Cup and smiled angrily.
Burnley's first three rounds were very lucky. He didn't expect that the draw in the fourth round was not bad, but it was not good. Unexpectedly, I met an old enemy. I don't know if it was really an accident or something inside.
In his third year of coaching Burnley, George met Blackburn again. It is absolutely rare for this kind of League One and Premier League team to meet twice in the domestic cup in three years.
"Blackburn?" Carl Pat also laughed. George, tell us. What on earth are you thinking this year?"
"What do you mean?"
That is to say, how you treat the League Cup. We used to abandon the League Cup, but this year..." Evan Sawyer and Carl Pat are George's right-handers, and they don't quite understand George's plan now.
First of all, George's biggest goal must be to upgrade, but the two of them should also know about the attitude of the cup. Only in this way can they cooperate with George.
"Upgrade is the first, but you said it's good to add one or two cup trophies to your resume." George smiled and said.
"Hm, George? You don't really want to win the League Cup, do you?
"That's what I thought. There are many FA Cup matches, and many Premier League clubs attach great importance to it. It's too difficult to win the championship, and the League Cup is relatively simple. And once we win the League Cup, we will qualify for Europe next year. The attraction of players will definitely increase a lot. I am determined to win the League Cup.
Although it has not been stated, George has decided to win the League Cup at the beginning of the season. It is not difficult to win the League Cup, and many Premier League teams do not pay attention to this event.
Seeing the unbelievable appearance of Evan and Carl, George smiled. Because although the League Cup is not valued by the Premier League strong teams, some Premier League midstream teams will still go all out. Burnley is still a League One team. At the beginning of the season, George shouted that Burnley had booked a promotion place, which had caused an uproar. If Burnley's goal is to win the League Cup, there will certainly be many media criticizing George for his ability.
"Evan, Carl, let's start with Blackburn on the road to winning the League Cup."
