Chapter 88
"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it! The leader now is Burnley from League One. This is a result that many people did not expect before the game. We simply counted the data from the bookmaker, and it is very intuitive. The impression. More than 90.00% of the bettors voted for Chelsea, and the bets for Burnley accounted for only a fraction."

"Before the game, people were very pessimistic about Burnley, which had a smooth journey. No one believed that Burnley could beat the mighty Chelsea, but only 13 minutes into the game! Burnley broke through Chelsea's gate."

When Ljungberg started to take the ball for a moment, George was already watching the situation on the court nervously.The moment Kevin Phillips scored, George couldn't resist jumping up in place before pumping his fist hard.

George and everyone around him were hugging and celebrating.This ball gave Burnley more room for adjustment in the next game.

Not only George, but the entire Burnley bench stood up.The Burnley fans were even more pleasantly surprised, although they kept shouting "George, we want the championship".But in fact, they are also very pessimistic about defeating Chelsea.

But 13 minutes into the kick-off in the first half, Burnley was already ahead by one goal.How can you not excite the Burnley fans?
Chelsea fans and players are very frustrated, but Chelsea are a strong team in the Premier League. Although they are leading by Burnley, they are not panicked.

Most of the current Chelsea players have experienced strong winds and waves, and many of them have had championship experience.They will not be in a hurry just because they are behind by one goal.It's only 13 minutes into the first half, and there are nearly 10 minutes left in the game.There is plenty of time to equalize the score and overtake the score.

From the loss of the first ball, Vialli also discovered that Chelsea's third line was out of touch just now.So it's just a simple adjustment.

Although Vialli, the head coach, was on the field, Dennis Wise still took his captain's blame.He first comforted a few people in the back line, and then loudly encouraged his players.The Chelsea players, who were a little shocked by conceding the goal too quickly, quickly calmed down.

At the re-kick-off, Chelsea lost the temptation at the beginning, but adopted a strong attack.When Chelsea really stepped up their offense, Burnley's defense immediately became jittery.

Seeing that Burnley was struggling defensively, George waved his hand, except for Klose who was at the forefront, everyone returned to the half-court defense.Zola and Di Matteo have excellent skills, but their bodies are not very good.

After starting to enter a comprehensive defense, the Burnley players followed George's deployment and began to frequently foul with their bodies.Even Camoranesi, Neil Lennon and others frequently interrupted Chelsea's rhythm with some small moves.

Like other skilled teams, once Chelsea play their own rhythm, Burnley is very difficult to defend.It's just a dense defense, it may not be able to stop Chelsea.So facing Chelsea like this, the most important thing is not to let them play their own rhythm.

Burnley's frequent fouls made the whole game be played intermittently.The referee's whistle also sounded frequently, but Burnley's players fouled very well.The referee can't just play a card because of this foul action, and today's referee's penalty scale is relatively loose.

Therefore, although there are frequent fouls, but so far there has not been a yellow card.

Vialli frowned deeply as he watched Chelsea's attacks being interrupted again and again.With Burnley fully defending, the gap between midfield and front has disappeared.And Burnley's defense is also more layered.

Moreover, Chelsea's offense was interrupted again and again, making Chelsea's smooth cooperation impossible.

When encountering Burnley's iron barrel defense, Chelsea's offense is anticlimactic every time.

George stood on the sidelines of the court, the smile on the corner of his mouth getting bigger and bigger.Looking at Vialli, George shook his head.

Vialli is a very good player, one of the best strikers of this era as a player.When he moved to Sampdoria that year, Vialli created the highest transfer price for young players.But Vialli was very calm, he said a word, my value cannot be measured by money.This is Vialli's self-confidence.

And Vialli's performance in coaching Chelsea is also very good, and he can be regarded as one of Chelsea's very successful head coaches.

But the current Vialli has a fatal flaw instead.That is, Vialli is now a player and head coach.Players as head coaches have certain advantages.You can understand the mentality of the players and convey your intentions anytime, anywhere on the field.

But it also has very big disadvantages.That is because in the game, many things on the court cannot be understood in time.Just like Chelsea's disjoint between the backcourt and the midfield, if Vialli is commanding on the field, he will definitely see it for the first time and then make adjustments.But Vialli was on the field at this time, so he didn't see such a big hole.

It was this loophole that allowed Burnley to lead by one goal.

If you really want players to also serve as coaches, George thinks it would be better for a guard to be a coach.Especially in the backcourt, you can observe the situation on the field, but Vialli, a striker as a coach, will have many problems.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and soon 35 minutes of the first half had passed.Since Burnley scored a goal, the whole game has been lethargic to watch.Countless fouls made the whole game intermittent.In addition to fouls are fouls, not smooth at all.

Because of the presence of Chelsea in this game, many neutral fans are also paying attention.But many neutral fans have lost interest in the current game.

Because the game was so boring, the broadcast cameras began to search around the court to see if they could capture some important shots.

"Hey, who is this? Isn't this Vogts?" Mortensen was also bored, and the commentary didn't work hard.But when I saw the person coming out of the rebroadcast footage, I screamed out loud. "How did Vogts come here? Shouldn't he be worrying about the World Cup in France now?"

"Is he here to inspect the players?" Alan Hansen was also quite surprised.

"Inspecting the players, there are only two German players on the field. Ballack and Klose are both Burnley players. Vogts doesn't want to take them to the World Cup."

"It will definitely not be Klose, I think it should be Ballack. Ballack has performed well at Burnley this season and has scored [-] goals for Burnley. As the core of Burnley's midfield, he His performance is obvious to all. In two years, I believe that Ballack will be able to become the main midfielder of the German national team.” Alan Hansen made no secret of his admiration for Ballack.

Berti Vogts watched the game with a serious expression. Vogts did come to inspect Ballack.Ballack has made a name for himself in English football, although Burnley have yet to enter the Premier League.But as a midfielder, he has scored [-] goals in Burnley this season, enough to make many strong teams pay attention to Ballack.

"However, so far in this game, Ballack is only a defensive midfielder and has not yet shown his offensive strength, especially his ability to score goals. However, the ball just passed to Ljungberg still showed it. He has great vision."

The appearance of Vogts was just a small episode, but this small episode was the only scene in the first half that made the audience a little bit interested except for the goal.

With the referee's whistle, the first half, which was fragmented by Burnley's foul, finally came to an end.

The Burnley players were all smiling. After all, no matter what happened in the first half, Burnley led Chelsea [-]-[-].That's ahead of Chelsea, not the ones Burnley have won in the Premier League that don't take cups seriously in order to avoid relegation.

And this is the final, as long as the score stays to the end, Burnley will win the first League Cup in history.
