"Barak! It's Barack again! It was a long-range shot from 25 yards out, and it was Ballack's thirteenth goal of the year. Ballack is Burnley's top scorer this season, and Ballack has been unstoppable this season. We've always said that Ballack is an all-round midfielder, with good defensiveness, powerful long-range shots, headers, accurate passing, and he is the best midfielder in League One at the moment. ”

Robbie Keane...... He shook the goalkeeper and it was 2-0. Seventeen-year-old Robbie Keane is already Burnley's main striker and has scored in double figures. Burnley's Nottingham Forest were powerless to resist!! ”

"Ljungberg, Ljungberg fell in the box...... Red card plus penalty, wow, Nottingham Forest is really worse now. ”

'Ballack's penalty was Ballack's second goal of the game and his 14th for Burnley this season.

"It's an unusually hard-fought game in League One, between first and second place in the league. Nottingham Forest were six points behind Burnley and would be three points away if they win this game. It's a pity that judging from the current situation, the gap between them is getting bigger and bigger. Burnley's upgrade looks set in stone. ”

This is the twenty-fifth round of League One, and the time is already on January 4, 1998. Burnley have played five games since November and now at the beginning of January. Burnley only have league games and no cup mandates during this period.

With the exception of a draw at Stoke Harbor away from home, they have won all four of their remaining games.

Burnley's morale is like a rainbow, with 17 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses in 24 rounds, accumulating 56 points. At the same time, Nottingham Forest only won three wins, one draw and one loss, accumulating 50 points in 24 rounds, and was left behind by Burnley by a full six.

In the 25th round, Burnley challenged Nottingham Forest away.

During this time, because there were more games, George has always rotated the lineup. But as Burnley's overall style of play matures, rotating one or two players is not a problem at all.

There is only one person in Burnley who George is most reluctant to rotate. It is Ballack in the midfield, he has completely become the core of Burnley's midfield, and the attack and defense are under his control.

So once Ballack is not there, Burnley's attack will be very problematic. Although in League One, it is enough to have Ljungberg and Camoranesi, two wingers. However, Ballack has had good fitness, so he has only rested once in his last five games.

This time Burnley travelled to Nottingham Forest, and George left no room for it. All the cards that could be used were used, because for Nottingham Forest, George was always thinking about how to get revenge.

During George's last suspension, when he lost at home to Nottingham Forest, George has always been haunted. And at that time, the local media in Nottingham also ridiculed Burnley, saying that George could only talk big.

That's why George said "Nottingham Forest?" after the last game. It's just a win over a crippled Burnley. We'll be away from home and let them know what Burnley are capable of. ”。

By the time Burnley beat Nottingham Forest, Burnley's path to promotion was smooth.

First, they beat Wrexham from the National League 7-0 in the third round of the FA Cup. Kevin Phillips, who had limited playing time, scored four goals in the game as Burnley progressed to the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Burnley then have three league games, followed by the first round of the Carabao Cup semi-final against Middlesbrough. But Burnley, who has entered the state, is already a complete god blocking and killing God, and Buddha blocking and killing Buddha.

In the 26th round, Burnley beat Reading 4-0 against Reading, who had just won the Carabao Cup. Of course, not much attention was paid to this match, it was a match between the top team and the bottom team. There is no match yet, everyone understands the result.

But the 27th round of the game left everyone dumbfounded.

In the 27th round, Burnley went to face Sunderland away. The whole game was beaten up by the promotion opponent Sunderland. Sunderland, who played at the end, only had a very outrageous long-range shot. Although the score is only 2-0, if it weren't for Burnley's bad luck and too many chances, not to mention two goals, even five, six, seven goals could have been possible.

After the game, the Sunderland players were desperate to escape the pitch at the end. Sunderland fans started to leave the pitch not long after the start of the second half. By the end of the game, there were fewer than 2,000 fans left in the stadium.

After this game, all the media shouted that Burnley's strength has completely surpassed the level of League One. Sunderland, a team that aims to be promoted, has been so flattened on their home turf.

Between the 27th and 28th round of League One, Burnley also played an FA Cup fourth round match. Maybe this year's Burnley is really a red star, and they are running into another team from the English League C. Burnley reached the fifth round of the FA Cup away from home thanks to a header from Klose.

In fact, George was ready to give up on the FA Cup, but the opponent was too weak, and even most of the substitutes came on and won the game.

In the 28th round, Burnley challenged the promotion opponent Charlton Athletic again. In preparation for Middlesbrough's Carabao Cup, George hid a number of key players in this game. In the end, relying on a personal strength of Camoranesi, a suspected penalty was created. In the end, Camoranesi scored the penalty of his own making.

"I don't know if I should say that George is lucky, with most of the main squad in rotation, relying on Camoranesi's individual performance, he can still get three points from the road. However, Burnley's ambitions can already be seen from this game. Burnley's goal is very clear, for the Carabao Cup semi-final, George would rather play such an important game with a substitute. ”

'But let's be honest, this year's Burnley have the best chance of reaching the Carabao Cup final. I believe that George, a young manager, will certainly not want to pass up the chance to win the League Cup. ”

George is now very happy because after 28 rounds, Burnley are 14 points ahead of second-placed Nottingham Forest. After a four-goal defeat at home to Burnley, Nottingham Forest's morale plummeted. In the next match against Norwich, it was a one-goal loss to Norwich.

And in the following games, they were forced to draw by Wolves at home.

However, fortunately, Nottingham Forest itself is strong, and in the third game against Middlesbrough, the momentum of the strong team was restored. In a hard-fought match, they won 2-1 against Middlesbrough. But it was too late, with only eighteen rounds left in the league and Nottingham Forest already fourteen points behind Burnley. With Burnley's current form, everyone knows that Burnley's promotion is absolutely no problem.

The most injured were Middlesbrough, who played all the way in the game against Nottingham Forest for a direct promotion spot. But not only did they lose the game, but three days later it was the Carabao Cup semi-final.
