Chapter 66: Against Burnley
On Monday, April 18, the fat man came to the Myburgh team training base early in the morning to train. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć It was only two hours before the rest of the Myburgh squad arrived. Today's training was focused on recovery, with the main players looking relaxed and the substitutes showing a very positive attitude.
In the final four rounds, if nothing else, Coach Karanka will send some substitutes on the field. Breaking the league points record is a thankless task, and coach Karanka shouldn't be too interested. Keeping the main players injury-free and looking at next season is what coach Karanka has to think about. During the confrontation training, Coach Karanka found that the fat man became more and more active in the penalty area when attacking, not only daring to make moves, but also playing a lot of tricks, of course, the threat was much greater than before.
Later in the evening, there was bad news. The Championship Player of the Year award was awarded to Burnley's leading goalscorer Andre Gray, and although Fat scored more goals than Gray, Fat Boy's status as a rookie and the number of games limited Fat Gray's rating, and in the end, most of the Championship's club managers chose Gray as Player of the Year in the Championship this season. He has scored 24 goals and provided eight assists in 39 Championship appearances this season. He also helped Burnley finish second in the Championship. The fat man thinks it's a pity, hey, there's a missing enhancement card!
Caroline arrived back to Manchester early in the morning. In addition to her academic problems, Caroline began to reach out to a number of Premier League clubs. After all, although Caroline has obtained a football agent license, she is still a novice. Novices need to learn more, see more, and have more contact, so Caroline still has a lot of work to do. The first step is to visit those Premier League clubs who are interested in fat people, as the saying goes, buying and selling is not benevolent, first mix up the face and then talk about it.
The next day, the team continued to train as usual, but the content of the training had changed a lot. Before, it was the main team and the substitute group playing against each other, but now it is completely mixed. Everyone knows in their hearts that the focus of Coach Karanka in the remaining games is to look at the performance of the substitutes. The large rotation also means that every substitute player has a chance to play, and as long as you train aggressively, you have a chance. On the training ground, the substitute players trained as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. In the group confrontation, the substitutes also used their best and fought actively. Coach Karanka stood leisurely on the sidelines observing the performance of the players and thinking about the starting line-up for the next game.
Emma has also been busy lately. The Championship has reached the final sprint stage, in addition to Myburgh winning the championship, who will be the other direct promotion place? Who will be the teams in the play-offs? These are the hot spots that fans are focusing on, and they are also the focus of Emma's interview. As they stand, one team from Burnley and Brighton will qualify for the next direct promotion spot, while the other will qualify for the play-offs with Hull City, Derby County and Sheffield Wednesday. But until the end, no one knows the outcome. There are still four rounds to go, and there are still a lot of variables about the outcome. Emma went to Burnley early in the morning, and in the 43rd round of the league, Burnley will face Myburgh at home.
On April 20, the 43rd round of the league Burnley hosts Myburgh FC and is about to begin. Burnley Football Club is a professional football club based in Burnley, Lancashire, in the north-west of England. The team was founded in 1882 and is a founding member of the English Football League. In the 2008-09 season, they finished runners-up in the Championship and were promoted to the Premier League; relegated to the Championship again in 2009-10; In 2013-14, he finished runners-up in the Championship and returned to the Premier League in the next year; In the 2014-15 season, they were relegated to the Championship again. Head coach Sean Dycher, home to Turf Moore Stadium.
Burnley have won the top flight twice in their history, in 1920/21 and 1959/60. Cup-wise, they won the FA Cup in 1913/14.
Burnley have been in excellent form this season and are currently second in the standings, two points ahead of third-placed Brighton, with high hopes of direct promotion.
This game is also the most important stop for Burnley's rush to the top, and the victory over Myburgh will give them a bright future. Because their opponents in the last three rounds are not strong, namely Preston, Queen's Park and Charlton. Before the game, most of the media were optimistic about Burnley, after all, Myburgh had already won the championship, and there was a good chance of sending a substitute out of the pit in this game. A team aiming for promotion will have a good chance of winning against a team that comes off the bench.
Ahead of the game, Myburgh's special commentators Smith and Foster were talking about the recent situation of the two teams.
'James, we're going to be commentating on Myburgh in the Premier League next season, it's so exciting. Smith laughs, "I never dreamed it would come so early. ā
'Yes, Tom, our favourite Myburgh team is back in the Premier League.' Foster is also in a good mood, "We will also play in the Premier League with Myburgh, and hopefully next season Myburgh can do well in the Premier League." ā
"When the Myburgh team arrives in the Premier League, the results will definitely not be bad, because we have Pang, and Pang is the guarantee of the Myburgh team's goals." Smith is full of confidence, "Although the Myburgh team will be promoted next season, relegation should not be a big problem!" ā
"Tom, that's hard to say. There has been media speculation that Pang will join other Premier League teams next season, and as has always been the case, there is a lot of hope that the top three scorers in the Championship will join the Premier League. A trace of worry flashed across Foster's face, "Although Myburgh will also play in the Premier League next season, it's hard to say whether Myburgh will be able to retain such a good Poong." ā
"Damn the money! However, the statistics of 33 goals and 9 assists in 19 league games are too gorgeous, and every Premier League team knows what these statistics mean! Smith is starting to worry, too, "But even then, Pang didn't win the Championship Player of the Year. Damn the selection committee, it's so unfair to Pang! ā
"It's really unfair to Pang!" Foster analyzed, "However, Pang still participated in too few games, and the season was not complete, but because of these reasons, Pang was not selected, and it was still a little reluctant to ......."
"When I think about these things, I feel very uncomfortable. Okay, let's talk about today's game! Smith changed the subject, "Burnley are not an easy team to play against. ā
"It's true, they're now in second place, which says a lot about their quality." Foster said, "Let's focus on the starting lineups of both teams first. ā
"Okay. The starting lineup of the Myburgh team is ......" Smith opened his notebook and suddenly his face changed, "Oh my God, Myburgh has made six changes to the main lineup...... No. 1 Constanto Paulus, No. 3 Fred, No. 7 Lydebit, No. 18 Ramirez, No. 19 Downing and No. 29 Ponne were all put on the bench by coach Karanka......
"It's really amazing, Myburgh has almost changed more than half of their main lineup." Forster was also surprised, "If it weren't for Myburgh having already won the championship, I would have thought Myburgh would have given up this game." It seems that coach Karanka plans to give his substitutes plenty of playing time in the final four rounds. ā
Burnley sent all the main players out of the station, and the striker No. 7 Gray partnered with No. 9 Volks, a combination of one high and one fast; In midfield, No. 37 Arfield, No. 21 Boyd, No. 13 Barton and No. 14 Jones; Defenders, No. 2 Lorton, No. 4 Duff, No. 5 Keane and No. 6 Mi, goalkeeper No. 1 Heaton!
The fat man sat on the bench and watched the Burnley players on the field, and the only figure on the pitch that the fat man knew was the No. 13 Barton. Barton's full name is Joey Barton, and he has played for Manchester City Football Club, Newcastle Football Club, Queens Park Rangers Football Club, Marseille Football Club, etc., playing as a midfielder, and is a famous bad boy in England. At the end of the season, the 33-year-old joined Burnley on a one-year free transfer.
The fat man is still most concerned about Burnley's forward line, and in the first half of the season, the most terrifying forward partner in the Championship is Burnley's No. 7 Gray and No. 9 Vaux. In the second half of the season, although the light of the Fat Man and Rhodes duo has overshadowed their opponents, Burnley's forward combination is still sharp, No. 7 Gray is currently second in the scorer list with 24 goals, and No. 9 Vokes is tenth with 14 goals.
