Chapter 82 Fame

"Gascoigne, Gaza forever. Beautiful goal, I haven't seen such a beautiful goal from Gaza for a long time." Mortensen praised Gascoigne's goal.

In the opening 20 minutes, Burnley has been firmly suppressing Middlesbrough.In the midfield competition, Middlesbrough is completely at a disadvantage.Holland and Neil Lennon defended very well, while Ballack controlled the midfield perfectly.

It's just that Burnley's luck is not particularly good, and several good opportunities to score goals have been squandered by their own people.

But in the 23rd minute, an attack from Middlesbrough was blocked by Gary Breen.It happened to be caught by Gascoigne in the midfield. Gascoigne took two steps forward, and Holland had already posted it.

Gascoigne just swayed his body briefly and passed Holland.However, the speed of Gascoigne, who has become fat, is no longer at all, so although Horan was shaken, he quickly posted it again.

Mitchell and Gary Breen on the back line are also in their positions. Judging from Gascoigne's current physical condition, it is impossible to break through Burnley's defense.So Burnley's defense paid more attention to Gascoigne's pass.

But just when everyone thought Gascoigne was passing the ball, Gascoigne suddenly rubbed it gently.Nearly 28 meters away, the ball seemed to have eyes, and a beautiful arc hung into the dead corner.Jasz Kleining tried his best to save, but unfortunately the ball went straight to the dead corner, Jasz Kleining could only sigh in vain.

The moment Gascoigne scored, even George, who was sitting in the coach's bench, couldn't help applauding.Because it was so beautiful, none of the Burnley players lost their position on this ball.The defense is also very good, and the goal conceded is only because of Gascoigne's genius strike at that moment.

"Gascoigne, a genius. If he hadn't indulged himself, he would have been reduced to playing in League One." George said regretfully while applauding.

Speaking of Paul Gascoigne, he is definitely a rare talent in England.Gascoigne has a good awareness of the game, has a wide vision, is good at organizing, and is very cunning and resourceful on the field. He is one of the most creative midfielders in Europe. His ability to dribble and break through is as superb as a Latin player. He can be described as a traditional England team A unique landscape.

Although England is known as the originator of modern football, there are very few talented players with such outstanding skills as Gascoigne.So much so that Joe Cole became the most skilled midfielder in England later.

England's midfielders have always been rich in all-round tough guys who can both attack and defend, so after Arsenal trained Wilshere, the whole of England placed high hopes on Wilshere.

So it is not easy for a talented player like Gascoigne to qualify in England, but Gascoigne wasted his outstanding talent because of his indulgent lifestyle.For such players, George doesn't know how to evaluate them.

"All talented players have their own personalities." Carl said with a smile beside him.

"I don't know how many years it will take for England to come out with another Gascoigne?" George shook his head.

"George, don't you go up and explain?" Evan Sawyer sat next to George and asked in a low voice.

George shook his head.

"Just now it was just Gascoigne's genius blow, and Middlesbrough has no advantage as a whole. It can't be pulled back by one or two people. Trust our players."

…………

It is true that Brian Robson is also a coach who emphasizes the whole, but now Middlesbrough is completely suppressed by Burnley.Because Gascoigne is in good form, Middlesbrough sent many balls to Gascoigne's feet.

Although Gascoigne is fat, his skills are still there.Therefore, among Middlesbrough, it is also the only player who can control the ball.

"Gascoigne got the ball, Ballack from behind hit Gascoigne, fouled... The referee signaled the game to continue, Ballack did not foul."

"Barack passed to Klose...Klose passed to the left without a pause...Daniel came in and crossed...Camoranesi!"

The Burnley fans, who were silent for a moment because of the conceded goal, burst into loud cheers.

Gascoigne's body really couldn't withstand the impact, and Barack fell down after only a slight collision from the side.The Middlesbrough players in the frontcourt are in a state of transition from defense to offense, while the players in the backcourt are signaling for Ballack to foul.

But he didn't expect the referee to signal the game to continue, and Burnley's attack had already begun after just a moment of stupefaction.With only a few short passes, it has advanced into Middlesbrough's penalty area.

After Camoranesi came to Burnley, he has not scored many goals.But it doesn't mean that there is a problem with his scoring ability. Camoranesi saw Klose come back to respond, so he went straight into the penalty area.Just received Daniel's cross, a low shot broke Middlesbrough's goal.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!! Camoranesi, the most valuable goal Camoranesi scored at Burnley. Gascoigne scored in less than 5 minutes Burnley leveled the score."

"The Middlesbrough players surrounded the referee, indicating that Ballack had fouled just now. But the referee signaled that the goal was valid. Let's see it in slow motion."

After Camoranesi equalized the score, George just stood up from the coach's bench and simply clapped.Then signal the team to continue attacking.

"From the perspective of slow motion, Ballack's ball is indeed suspected of fouling. However, Gascoigne's body is too thin, and this level of impact can be found everywhere in the Premier League and League One. Hey!"

Brian Robson also communicated with the fourth referee, indicating that Ballack's action just now was a foul.But the fourth referee listened to Robson's complaint with a smile, and then simply explained to Robson.

Robson was furious, now it's clear Burnley are a notch above.Robson was very happy to lead Burnley with a goal from Gascoigne.As long as this score is maintained until the first half, Robson will find a way to hold the second half.But in less than 5 minutes, Burnley equalized the score.This is a very big blow to Middlesbrough.

Robson saw the fourth referee just smiled and perfunctory himself, so he wanted to go over to cheer the players up.He also wanted the players to defend first, but unfortunately he had no intention of rearranging himself, and his team was hit hard again.

Just after Middlesbrough kicked off, Gascoigne, who lost the ball just now, was a little slower and was intercepted by Ballack again.Ballack was handed over to Ljungberg, and Ljungberg took out his best assault skills.Use speed to advance all the way to the side of Middlesbrough's big penalty area, and suddenly pass back.

Ballack, who has been following up, made his signature long shot and scored another goal.

"Barack! Ballack! Burnley scored two goals in a row within 3 minutes. In less than 10 minutes after Middlesbrough scored, it was already a go-ahead score."

"It's Gascoigne again, he conceded the ball again. The goal was just a flash of inspiration for Gascoigne, and now being knocked around by Ballack is Gascoigne's status quo."

Two goals in 3 minutes made the fans on and off the Turfmore Stadium excited.Even George didn't sit down this time, he just jumped up.

"Evan, look. Even if Ballack plays in the Premier League, there is no problem. With Ballack Burnley, the midfielder core will be guaranteed for the next ten years."

Evan also applauded beside him, smiled and did not speak.But I agree with George's words.Since George built the team entirely with Ballack this season, Ballack's comprehensiveness has been fully demonstrated.Defending, attacking and scoring are all possible.

Speaking of Barack Evan, I remembered the first time I met George. At that time, Barack was an amateur player.In less than three years, Ballack has become the core midfielder of the top team in League One.

With the second ball, the game is very easy to play.Before the end of the first half, Ballack received a powerful header from Finnan's cross and scored his second goal of the game.

Although they had a 73-[-] lead in the first half, Burnley did not relax at all in the second half.Continue to attack the opponent. In the [-]rd minute, Gary Breen received a pass from Camoranesi in the corner kick attack and scored the fourth goal of the game.

In the 84th minute, Robbie Keane, who came off the bench, won a single-handed chance with his own speed.With a light push, he scored Burnley's fifth goal of the game.It is also the No.14 goal scored by Robbie Keane in Burnley, and he is Burnley's current striker with the most goals.

"Five to one, Burnley is basically determined to enter the League Cup final. With Burnley's defense, I don't think even Manchester United and Arsenal can guarantee to score four goals. Middlesbrough is even more so, I want to congratulate our coach Levy here in advance."

Robson shrugged as he listened to the cheers and laughter of the fans at Turf Moor.There was not much sadness, but a sigh of relief.Now Middlesbrough is competing with Nottingham Forest for a direct promotion spot, and is in a stalemate. Robson is unwilling to waste energy in the League Cup.

It is a pity that the Middlesbrough board of directors is indulging in the glory of the past.He was unwilling to give up any game, but now Robson was relieved.With a score of five to one, the semi-finals had already lost suspense.
