Although both are League Cup semi-finals, the match between Burnley and Middlesbrough is a match between two League One clubs. On the other side of the spectrum, Arsenal host Chelsea. In the end, Arsenal won 2-1 at their home stadium against Chelsea.

Rao said, the match between Burnley and Middlesbrough was still very much watched after the game. Especially George, who already had a certain reputation in English football before.

With a 5-1 win over Middlesbrough, everyone knows Burnley have reached the Carabao Cup final. If a lot of George's fame was hyped up before, such as Jack Walker inviting George to be Blackburn's head coach, and George was in a car accident.

So now George is using his results to impress English football. Burnley are now fourteen points clear of second-placed Nottingham Forest and the road to promotion is bright. Now we are about to reach the final of the League Cup.

With the victory, George gained not only victory, but also a higher prestige in English football. Those who were not familiar with George before now know that there is a talented coach under the age of 30 in League One. He was young, but he brought out the top team in League One. His team now has a lot of hope of becoming a Premier League team, and then there will be a 30-year-old coach in the Premier League.

After the Carabao Cup semi-finals, it was not Arsenal and Chelsea that attracted the most attention, but the match between Burnley and Middlesbrough.

And with George's fame, Burnley has also received attention from English football. In particular, Burnley now not only has George as a young coach, but the main squad is full of young players in their twenties.

Many are already eyeing Burnley's young players, and after the Carabao Cup semi-final, the club have already received a number of offers from clubs.

George's attitude was very resolute and did not sell. Now Burnley's players can stand up even in the Premier League, and as long as they make some necessary additions to the current foundation, George is confident that Burnley will become a powerhouse in the Premier League.

Even if it can't immediately become a champion to compete with Arsenal and Manchester United, at least it should not be a problem to finish in the top eight in the Premier League. And after two or three seasons in the Premier League, George believes Burnley has the quality to win the title.

And now these players at Burnley are very important players in George's future map.

…………

Of course, these post-match events are minor things now, and Burnley still have to continue their league journey after all. The second round of the Carabao Cup semi-finals is on 19 February, with Burnley having three League One games to play.

Four days after the first round of the semi-final with Middlesbrough, George took on Stoke City in the relegation zone with a high-spirited Burnley. Although he had just finished playing Middlesbrough four days earlier, George still fielded most of his main force.

Because of physical problems, George asked his team to seal the win in the first half. Burnley were very competitive, scoring three goals in the first half. In the second half, George was eager to replace everyone, and in the second half, Burnley was not playing at all, but slowly reversing the ball. Anyway, what George wants is three points, whether it's good looking or ugly, George only needs three points.

In the end, Stoke City scored a face-saving goal, but Burnley still held it 3-1 with the three points.

Four days later, Burnley played in the fifth round of the FA Cup, this time against a third-division side. A team from Cardiff, Wales, currently in the fourth tier of the English league. George rotated a few players, but the main frame didn't change.

In this game, everyone's physical strength was very problematic, and in the end, relying on a sneak attack by Ljungberg, they won 1-0 against Cardiff. They also reached the sixth round of the FA Cup.

A week later, in the thirtieth round of League One, Burnley won 2-0 at home and were not affected by the double game in a week. Of course, it was not this that made the happiest, but Nottingham Forest's 2-1 defeat at home against Nottingham Forest's direct promotion opponent Sunderland.

Not only that, George was almost a full substitute in this game, but Burnley's substitutes were also very competitive. With two goals from Kevin Phillips, it was a very important victory.

In this way, after 30 rounds of League One, Burnley are already 17 points ahead of Nottingham Forest, almost six games apart. With sixteen rounds left in League One, Burnley's advantage is all too obvious.

And with the consecutive wins, Burnley's side has gained momentum. The confidence is bursting, and the more you kick, the more you feel.

In the 31st round of the English League, Burnley faced Tranmere and played a score of 7-0. At the end of the day, George was very scared of Tranmere's blackfoot, so he made the players who were excited steady. All George wants now is three points, and 1-0 and 7-0 will have the same effect on Burnley.

After the thirty-first round, there was another thing that made Burnley happy. Middlesbrough, who are only one point behind Nottingham Forest, lost to Stoke Port in this round. In this way, after 31 rounds, Middlesbrough are four points behind Nottingham Forest. They are more than twenty points behind Burnley to twenty-one. That's a seven-game difference.

There are two direct promotion spots in League One, with the top two in League One being promoted directly. Burnley are now twenty-one points above third and seventeen points above second.

After the 31st round of League One, Burnley welcomed the sixth round of the FA Cup. George is very unhappy with the FA's fixture schedule, with Burnley playing two games a week for more than a month.

Burnley met Crystal Palace in the sixth round of the FA Cup, the first Premier League team they have met along the way in the FA Cup. Unfortunately, Crystal Palace are now at the bottom of the Premier League table and are currently struggling with relegation. All the substitutes were used in this game, but George was the main player for the most part. At Selhurst Park, they won 2-0 against Crystal Palace and reached the semi-finals.

This year's FA Cup is very unusual, probably because the Premier League teams do not take the FA Cup seriously. Three of the teams in the FA Cup semi-finals are from League One, including Burnley, Wolves and Sheffield United. Wolves and Sheffield United are currently seventh and eighth in League One and are both pushing for promotion. There is only one strong team from the Premier League in the top four, and that is Arsenal, which have a very good record in the Premier League this year.

The sixth round of the FA Cup is followed by the second round of the Carabao Cup semi-finals. This time George even kept a lot of the main players at Burnley, and then brought a group of substitutes with him. George's requirements for them were simple, defensive counter-attacking. With just four goals not to be lost, Burnley will be able to reach the Carabao Cup final.

However, George sent a lot of substitutes, and Robson from Middlesbrough also sent a one-color substitute lineup. Robson understands that a remake of this competition is almost impossible. Anyway, it's better to focus on the league, and promotion is the most important thing.

Substitute to substitute, Middlesbrough's bench lineup is indeed thicker than Burnley. Burnley lost 0-1, but it was George's happiest defeat.

When the game was over, the Riverside Stadium became a carnival for Burnley's players. Although it was the opponent's pitch, the Burnley players didn't care about it. They celebrated reaching the Carabao Cup final. The League Cup is a chicken game in the eyes of the Premier League powers, and they have European Cups, league titles, and FA Cup titles are all more important than the League Cup.

But it's not the case for Burnley, who haven't tasted it for many years since they won the top flight more than three decades ago.

"The Burnley players who are ecstatic at the riverside stadium, they have reason to be happy. Because they reached the Carabao Cup final, which was the first time in Burnley's history that they reached the Carabao Cup final. Burnley haven't won a weighty title for more than 30 years. After more than three decades, Burnley finally had another chance to win the title. The results of the other game were also in, as Chelsea reached the Carabao Cup final with a 3-1 home win over Arsenal. ”

'March 30th, Wembley Stadium, let's wait and see the Carabao Cup final between Burnley and Chelsea.'
