97 Steps of the Premier League

"Bah, ah..." Yas Kleinin's whole body was already soaked. When he just hit the ball, the water on the court fell into Yas Kleinin's mouth.

When warming up before the game, the weather was still very good. I didn't expect it to start raining after the start of the game. First, there was a drizzle, which had turned into a downpour at the beginning of the ten minutes.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. George stood on the sidelines, and his suit was completely wet.

Looking at the Tefumore Stadium, George shook his head. Because the drainage system of Tefumore Stadium is so bad that piles of stagnant water can be seen everywhere on the court.

Although it rained heavily, George couldn't take care of that. Look at the situation in this situation with a deep frown, because the number on the scoreboard says 0:1. The home team Burnley is in the front, and the visiting team Birmingham is in the back.

George stood on the court and frowned, but the fans at Tefumore Stadium sang and danced. The cheers on the Tefumore court have not been interrupted since the first nine minutes of the game. Because in another venue, Nottingham Forest was also scored in the ninth minute.

What made Burnley fans happier was that in 14 minutes, Nottingham Forest was already two goals behind. The news spread to Tefumore Stadium, and all Burnley fans were jubilant.

With Burnley's current advantage, even if this game is lost, if Nottingham Forest also loses, Burnley will also upgrade ahead of schedule.

But George is different. George will never allow him to lose this game. In Burnley's early promotion, George was not allowed to use his opponent's mistakes to win.

George is very dissatisfied with the current situation on the court. Birmingham's play is very simple after the rain. From the backcourt to the front, there is a way for the center to control the landing point, and then another striker and midfielder to control the second landing point.

Burnley's lost ball was scored because he didn't control the second drop.

George waved to Barak, who was quite dissatisfied with Barak in this game. I don't know why, Ballack is in quite bad shape in this game. Playing football has no spirit, can't control the rhythm on the field, and can't protect the front of the penalty area.

"Michael, what's the matter with you? Do you know what an important game this is? If you think you are incompetable, then I will replace you. Although George usually scolds Barak a lot, he is rarely so serious now.

George doesn't know what's on Ballack's mind now. Anyway, George won't believe that Ballack will be nervous because he wants to upgrade. Even in the League Cup final and the collision with Chelsea, George didn't see any nervousness at all.

Even Barak's calm made George very surprised at that time. In that game, Ballack not only did not have a trace of tension, but also did quite perfectly in defense, attack and shooting.

Although George attaches great importance to this game, everyone knows that even if Burnley can't win the game, there is no problem in upgrading. Therefore, Ballack should not be nervous in such a game.

But so far, Barak's performance has been too abnormal. This has rarely happened since George coached Barak.

"I'm sorry, head." Barak did seem to be in a trance. He saw what George wanted to say, but he didn't say anything and fell into silence.

George patted Barak on the shoulder and softened his tone. Michael, I don't know what's wrong with you. But you have to remember that you are a player. As long as you play, you can't think about anything else. This is a player's professional ethics.

Barack looked up at George and nodded vigorously.

"Okay, Michael. If there is anything, you can call me anytime after the game. Now go up, abandon the distractions, and have a good game."

Sure enough, after Barak played, his performance was very different from the original. The biggest difference is the timing and strength of passing the ball.

It rains heavily, which is not conducive to the performance of some technical players. But Burnley's strength is much higher than that of Birmingham. After Barak's midfield core returned to normal, Burnley immediately controlled the rhythm of the game.

Although in this environment, Birmingham's long pass is still dangerous for Burnley's defense. Because of this rainy weather, the defender is prone to mistakes. If Birmingham wants to beat Burnley, they can only find a chance for Burnley's defender to make a mistake.

But after Barak's normal performance, Birmingham was no longer able to grab the second landing point. And Burnley's offensive is getting stronger and stronger.

"Robby Keane, received a pass from Camoranesi... Roby Keane is very fast and is already a single knife... GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!, Robby Keane, this is Robby Keane's 20th goal in Burnley. This is Roby Keane's first complete professional league, scoring 20 goals in League One!"

"In the summer, many teams stared at Robby Keane, and in the end, Robby Keane chose Burnley. I heard that George went to see him in person for Roby Keane. This is definitely a win-win result. Roby Keane scored 20 goals for Burnley, which is a great contributor to Burnley's promotion. Under George's **, Robby Keane has become the best among the young strikers. Now I don't know how many scouts of the Premier League team are watching this rising Irish star on the court!"

As Mortson explained, he also admired George from the bottom of his heart. The person selected by George has never gone ast-eyed.

"John, it's one to one. It seems that Burnley's upgrade is just around the corner. Alan Hansen was not too excited. In his opinion, there was no suspense about Burnley's upgrade. It's an accident to fall behind after the opening, and it's still a little late to equalize.

"Yes, there are still four rounds left. As long as Burnley has one point in these four rounds, there is no problem with the upgrade. Not to mention one point, even if it is ten points, there should be no problem for Burnley.

It is true that after scoring a goal, the Burnley players are playing more and more calmly.

Before the end of the first half, Daniel received a pass from Camoranesi in the corner attack and scored the second goal. We are two to one ahead of Birmingham.

The rain has not stopped, and it still rained in the second half. But this can't dampen the joy of Burnley fans. After the second half, Nottingham Forest is still t-2 behind.

With the goal of Kevin Phillips, who replaced Robby Keane in the 73rd minute, Burnley completely killed the suspense of the game.

At the moment when Kevin Phillips scored, the fans of the whole Tefmore Stadium went crazy. Knowing that the team can be promoted is definitely different from the moment when the team really upgrades.

With the excellent results of this season, Burnley fans know that Burnley will definitely be promoted after the end of the season. But at this moment, all the fans couldn't help crying.

"Kevin--"Phillips--"

"Three to one, we have won the League One championship ahead of schedule. Burnley, we are going to the Premier League! We're back, we're finally back!" The live commentator was also incoherent at this time, but his incoherence just spoke the voice of Burnley fans.

Birmingham players have no fighting spirit and play weakly. After entering the third goal, Burnley got several opportunities in a row. Unfortunately, Burnley players were too excited by the atmosphere at the scene and wasted many opportunities. Of course, no one blames Burnley players for wasting opportunities at this time.

"Look, Tefumore Stadium is boiling! They have gone crazy!" Mortson looked at the shocking cheers at the Tefumore Stadium and said with a smile.

"Of course, this is the first time that Burnley has returned to the top league since he was relegated from the top league in 1976. For this upgrade, Burnley fans have been waiting for 22 years, and they have reason to go crazy.

"Yes, twenty-two years. There are a few 22 years in life, and Burnley fans are lucky. They can see Burnley return to the top league and see Burnley's future. How many once brilliant clubs now can only struggle in the low-level league, and there is no hope at all. Mortson sighed. Mortson had been a commentator for a long time. In League One and League Two, I have seen too many clubs struggling to survive.

"This should be thanks to George. It was George who brought hope to Burnley and such a miracle to Burnley."

It's like agreeing with Alan Hansen, the cheering Burnley fans on the Tefmore Stadium suddenly shouted "George! George! You are the hero of Burnley, and you are our hero!"

The referee was very knowledgeable. Although there were a lot of dead balls in the second half, there was no stoppage time for a minute.

"Dududu--" echoes like wonderful music at Tvermore Stadium.
