Chapter 78 After the Derby

"Barack put the ball on the penalty spot and Burnley had a good chance to overtake the score."

"Barack stood there, no run-up. Shot! Beautiful, Flores didn't even react. The ball was so fast, Burnley went [-]-[-]."

"Blackburn is now one goal behind and one less. Burnley have already won this game."

Indeed, less than 10 minutes into the second half, the Blackburn players already had a big problem with their physical strength.Just like Hendry, if it wasn't for his lack of physical strength, he wouldn't have to use his feet in the end.

Now that one person is missing, Blackburn has no chance at all.

Hodgson saw Hendry off the field, but had no choice but to replace Gallagher and put on a defender.

But Blackburn's decline could not be stopped. In the 77th minute, Ballack received the ball from Ljungberg on the left, and a long shot pierced Flores' goal for the second time.

"Barack is a really good player. He can attack, defend, pass and shoot. He is an all-rounder in the middle." Mortensen saw that Ballack scored two goals in this game and spoke highly of Ballack.Mortensen has always made no secret of his love for the German player.

"Speaking of which, George's vision is absolutely first-rate, and he almost never misses it. If people choose George's best acquisition in three years, I believe many people will definitely choose Poborski. But let me It must be Barack."

"Barack has become the best midfielder in League One without spending a penny on Burnley. I believe that according to the current trend of Burnley, as long as Ballack plays in the Premier League, he will soon be able to enter the German national team. team." Like Mortensen, Alan Hansen is also very optimistic about Ballack.

In the end, Burnley defeated Blackburn [-]-[-] away and advanced to the fifth round of the League Cup.George has led Burnley to two wins over Blackburn in three years, both at Ewood Park.

George stood at Ewood Park, raised his hands to the red square, and began to encourage the Burnley fans rhythmically.As George waved his arms, all Burnley fans also cheered rhythmically.The entire Ewood Park became a sea of ​​Burnley fans.

Of course, as an opponent of Derby, it is still an opponent of a century-old hatred.With a victory at the opponent's home court, Burnley fans did not miss the opportunity to stimulate Blackburn fans.They were all shouting "League [-] welcomes you!"

And George also waved his hands, echoing the slogan of the fans laughing at Blackburn.This really angered all the Blackburn fans present, and they used all the curses they could use on George.

But George didn't care, and even gestured to continue the abuse of the Blackburn fans.The look drew boos from the Blackburn fans at Ewood Park.

"Hahaha! Look at George, and listen to the abuse of George by the Blackburn fans. I believe that for a long time, the person Blackburn fans hate the most must be George." Mortensen said with a smile.

Alan Hansen also smiled and said: "This is for sure. George not only won Blackburn, but more importantly, he provoked Blackburn fans every time. George is destined to become the enemy of Blackburn fans."

"Hodgson, will you go the way of coach Shaft again? Coach Shaft also resigned in desperation because of his morale plummeted after losing to Burnley in the League Cup." Mortensen sighed.

"This Blackburn team is no longer the championship team that swept the Premier League back then."

Although when Blackburn rose, many people in English football hated Blackburn very much.Because Blackburn is the first champion piled up with money in the history of the Premier League, many people hate Blackburn.

When Mortensen and Alan Hansen were hosts, they laughed and satirized Blackburn a lot.But when Blackburn has fallen from a champion to the present, they are still quite sighing.

"If Burnley defeated Blackburn at Ewood Park two years ago, George's tactics were correct. Or George used a defensive counterattack to defeat Blackburn who was careless at the time. Then in today's game, Burnley Winning is undisputed. Burnley's strength has reached the level of the Premier League, and next season in the Premier League we will be able to see a 30-year-old Premier League club coach."

…………

Many people came to today's press conference. Hodgson lost the game, but he is more personable than George.He came to the press conference earlier than George. Although he had a cold face, he was much more reserved than George.

Seeing George coming in, he shook hands with George with a cold face.This made George admire Hodgson very much, but he admired him, but after George sat down, he didn't give Hodgson any face.

"A player like Hendry raises his foot when the ball is obviously out of reach. This kind of player should be banned for life." Just after sitting down, George criticized Hendry who was sent off with a red card.Fortunately, Klose has nothing to do, otherwise George must settle the score with Hendry.

"There will be such and such accidents during the game, and Hendry definitely didn't do it on purpose." This is a red card, and Hodgson can't justify it too much.

"As a veteran player, Hendry should be well aware of what moves can and cannot be done. But as the captain of Blackburn, he set a bad example for young players and students. The Football Association should suspend such players. And it's a lifetime ban!"

For the sake of Hodgson's good attitude, George was too embarrassed to pursue it.But for Hendry, George was really gnashing his teeth.Klose is the forward that George has high hopes for. If there is any serious injury, then even a lifetime ban will not be worthwhile.

But after hearing George's words, the reporters and Hodgson looked at each other in blank dismay.Hendry was called a bad example by George just because of his actions on the court.Then George is a bad role model for teenagers, and he has the nerve to talk about other people.

But Hodgson didn't respond much, and George lost interest.Anyway, they have already won, so they are not going to continue to ridicule them.

So George simply said a few words and left the press conference.Many reporters were dryly waiting to see a good show. Unexpectedly, George seemed aggressive at the press conference just now, but immediately calmed down.

The rest of the time, George just briefly talked about the team's performance.Hodgson lost the game and didn't have much to say.So a Derby press conference ended in such a haste.

"How does it feel to beat Blackburn?" George yelled as he watched the excited players in the bus.

"it is good."

"This is just the first step, there are still four games. After four games, the League Cup is ours. Do you want the League Cup!"

"League Cup! League Cup!"

"Okay, both promotion and the League Cup. Next year we will not only play the Premier League, but also the UEFA Cup."

Mitchell is very excited tonight, because this is the second victory over Blackburn.So like a little kid, stand up. "Play the Premier League, play the UEFA Cup."

"Play the Premier League, play the UEFA Cup."

Just two days later, Burnley host Huddersfield Town.Because of the League Cup, George changed most of the players.Including Ljungberg, Camoranesi, and Ballack all chose to take turns.

The backup guard who eventually came on in place of Mitchell and Gary Breen failed to guard Hadfield.In the end, they lost the game [-]-[-] at home.

Although it was a loss, the Burnley fans were not depressed at all.A win over Blackburn will keep Burnley fans happy for a long time.
