84 Sword Finger League Cup

On February 24, Burnley embarked on the journey of the First Division again. Although it was in the second round of the League Cup semi-finals, Burnley's main players had a good rest. But I don't know if the carnival is too much. They are still very tired in this game. George knew that there was a big problem with the thickness of Burnley's lineup. It took less than three years to form, so the lineup was too thin.

Burnley's main force is very strong now, but unfortunately there are not many players on the bench. Or the players on the bench, changing one or two players, may not affect the combat effectiveness. But once there are more than three or four people rotated, the combat effectiveness will be greatly affected. So up to now, Burnley has played more than 40 games, which is basically a lineup. It should be very normal for them to feel tired.

George was too tired to watch the players, so he let them relax and control the ball. Burnley was eventually tied by Oxford United at home.

In order to allow the players to have a good rest, George simply let a lot of the main players rest in the 33rd round of the League One. In this game, Burnley faced West Bromwich, who had a lot of trouble, and Burnley's substitutes all wanted revenge. Unfortunately, his strength was poor, and in the end he was defeated by zero.

The result of one draw and one loss finally gave Nottingham Forest a chance to catch up with a little score. After 33 rounds, Nottingham Forest was 12 points behind Burnley.

At this time, the draw of the FA Cup semi-finals was also over. Burnley did not draw Arsenal, a strong opponent, but Sheffield United.

George never thought that this year's FA Cup will be so lucky. Even in the League Cup, George met the derby team Blackburn and the powerful First Division club Middlesbrough.

But in the FA Cup, Burnley almost reached the semi-finals smoothly. Even in the semi-finals, it is a strong first-class team like Sheffield United. Sometimes George can't help laughing.

As long as he passes Sheffield United, Burnley will be able to reach the FA Cup final. It is absolutely rare for a first-class team to reach the League Cup final and the FA Cup final at the same time.

In the 34th round of League One, Burnley's main player, who had a good rest, defeated Norwich 3-0. After a draw and a loss, it finally ushered in a big victory.

However, Nottingham Forest, which has been in good condition recently, has lost its horse and was tied by Svenden at home. The gap with Burnley has become 14 points again. Of course, this is more than that. Middlesbrough, which is four points behind Nottingham Forest, defeated the opponent in the 34th round, narrowing the gap between the two teams to two points.

For the current Nottingham Forest and Middlesbrough, Burnley is already far away. Therefore, they don't expect to surpass Burnley, so they only have a direct promotion in their eyes. Therefore, the four-point gap became two points, which made Nottingham Forest coach Dave Bassett quite dissatisfied.

After the game, Dave Bassett angrily criticized the referee. However, Dave Bassett did have reason to be angry, because at 86 minutes of the game, the referee sent a foul to the Nottingham Forest defender and gave Svinden a penalty. But in a way, the ball is not even enough to foul, let alone a penalty kick. This is a complete misjudgment.

But George is very happy. As long as the misjudgment is not for himself, he is happy. Especially for any team that has a competitive relationship with you, it is to help yourself.

In the 35th round of League One, Burnley continued to win with a score of 2 to 1.

Although Nottingham Forest and Middlesbrough were both victorious, Burnley still led Nottingham Forest by 14 points. With only 11 rounds left in the league, Burnley's advantage is already quite large.

In the 36th round of League One, in order to prepare for the FA Cup semi-finals and Sheffield United, George sent most of the substitutes. However, in the face of the relegation zone, Portsmouth is still full of power. With two goals from Kevin Phillips, he defeated Portsmouth 2-0.

Although Kevin Phillips is not Burnley's main player this season, the main strikers in the league have always been Klose and Robby Keane. But in the limited playing time, Kevin Phillips still scored 12 goals. I don't know how much more efficient it is than Klose, who has only scored six goals.

Because Burnley's grades are very good now, not many people criticize George. However, there are still many people who are puzzled by George's overbearing Close, but now George is so popular that no one dares to say it directly.

At the end of the 36 rounds, Burnley was still 14 points ahead of Nottingham Forest.

............

"At the end of the game, Sheffield United has no chance. Burnley shot 21 times in the whole game and scored three goals. In the end, the game ended with a score of 3-0, and Burnley reached the final of the FA Cup.

With this game, Burnley has reached the finals of the League Cup and the FA Cup in a row this year. Because Arsenal and West Ham United are tied, we don't know which Burnley's final opponent is. But to reach the finals of the League Cup and the FA Cup, Burnley has been very successful this season.

"Although some media think that Burnley can go so far in the Cup, it has something to do with the weak opponent he meets. But Burnley is the club of League One, which is not only at the top of the League One, but also can reach the finals of the two cups. This achievement is already very remarkable.

"Since winning the top league championship 38 years ago, Burnley has not had such a good chance to win the championship for a long time. Whether it is the League Cup or the FA Cup, as long as he gets an honor, George can engrave his name in Burnley's history.

"George, a young coach, has brought out a strong team this season after the setbacks of last season. At present, there have been 36 rounds in the League One, and Burnley is 14 points ahead of the second place. According to the analysis of the current situation, Burnley is about to be promoted to the Premier League, and then the Premier League will be much better.

Morterson chattered there to explain how strong Burnley is this year and how well he is.

But for the current Burnley players and fans, there is nothing but celebration. I don't know how many cheers have been staged at Tefumore Stadium this season, and it is no different for Burnley fans to reach the FA Cup final.

Speaking of which, the FA Cup is a very important cup competition in England, and it is also the oldest knockout cup competition in world football. In the past, the status in English football was very high, which was far from comparable to a cup like the League Cup.

Successfully advanced to the FA Cup finals, boosting Burnley's morale.

On March 22, in the 37th round of League One, Burnley challenged Port Vale away. Entering the FA Cup final inspired Burnley players, although they just finished the FA Cup semi-final five days ago. But Burnley players defeated Port Vale by a score of 4 to 1 in this game.

In the thirty-eighth round of the League Cup, in order to prepare for the League Cup final with Chelsea, George sent all the substitutes to play. Burnley's substitute is indeed very weak, and there is nothing he can do in the face of Svenden. In the end, we can only accept a draw.

The gap between

and Nottingham Forest has become twelve points. But George doesn't have time to consider the situation of the league now, because March 30th is the final of the League Cup.
