The main event of this round of League One is the home game against Bolton, who are currently the best attacking team in League One. Bolton Wanderers were in the Premier League last season, but were eventually relegated. However, they are the favourites to promote from League One.

Speaking of Bolton, they are also one of the well-known teams in England. Bolton Football Club was founded in 1874. is one of the 7 creators of the English Football League. He has won the FA Cup four times in history, but it has also declined in recent years.

Bolton Wanderers famously bonded with Manchester United by outstretched their arms in the plane crash after the Munich crash took the lives of many of United's players. At that time, not only Manchester United, but many English clubs condemned the behavior of Bolton fans. Bolton Wanderers have been isolated by many English clubs, even in the 21st century.

The 1994~1995 season was a glorious season for Bolton Football Club, as they not only finished runners-up in the League Cup, but also earned a ticket to the Super League through the play-offs. However, at this point, manager Bruce Leosh, who was the leading man in leading the team to the Premier League, accepted the Arsenal club's offer to fill the void left by George Graham. Roy McFarland took over, but the team did so badly in the league that they immediately returned to the First Division, and McFarland was sacked by the club. He was replaced by Colin Todd.

Colin Todd's Bolton Wanderers are on a winning streak in League One, with seven wins and one draw in the first eight games. With a score of 22 points, it is at the top of the League One table. It also has the most goals in all of League One, making it the most attacking team in League One.

Burnley, on the other hand, are currently the best defensive team in League One, conceding only two goals in eight games, which can be called super defensive.

In the ninth round of League One, the passionate collision between the most attacking team and the best defensive team still attracted a lot of media attention.

"Too many draws, it's impossible to get the team promoted to the Super League. Even if you are not careful, there is a high chance that you will be in danger of being downgraded. I remember Burnley last season in the First Division because there were too many draws, and they had to accept relegation. "When facing the media, Colin Todd had no scruples at all and just said it." And it is impossible for a team that only defends to be a strong team. ”

Before the game even began, Colin Todd took the lead in the media.

Like many of his contemporaries, Colin Todd was a player. He was an England international in the seventies and eighties, so he had a good temper. For George, a twenty-eight-year-old young coach, there is some contempt.

Colin Todd may be a defender, but he prefers to play offensively. Collin Todd, who has just become Bolton's manager this season, has made Bolton's attack a big improvement in a short period of time.

But George simply said, "Offense wins fans, defense wins championships." ”。

George doesn't have time to play with Colin Todd right now.

…………

'It was a veritable battle between the most attacking team and the best defending, and for the first 30 minutes of the first half, Bolton were looking for a goal. But under Burnley's tenacious defence, there were not many chances. ”

There really wasn't much to see in this game, there weren't many highlights, and there weren't many overly technical matchups. Even if Bolton made less than five passes, he was cut off by Burnley. Burnley were even more so, having been cut off by Bolton before three goals.

Both teams were engaged in a battle in midfield, and all they could do was to see the referee blowing the whistle from time to time. If you are a neutral fan, you will immediately switch tables after watching it for five minutes. Even the commentators don't have much to say about the game, so they've been talking about how Bolton are doing and how Burnley are doing.

Colin Todd and George both sat in the dugout with relaxed faces. Colin Todd felt a draw on the road wasn't unacceptable, and George was all about defending in the first half.

In this game, George brought on Frank Lampard and Danny Murphy to form a huge defensive advantage in midfield. The forwards were sent in Klose and Kevin Phillips.

After this year, George has clearly started to reuse Klose. Klose is not as good as Klose in Bremen, but he is a big improvement from a year ago. The header is still sharp, the pace is the first among Burnley strikers, and the shots at the feet are not as outrageous as they were a year ago.

As the game wore on, George was happy with the first half. Bolton pressed all over the line, but couldn't find many ways to break the net.

"Frederick, go warm up." George didn't look back, and shouted at the bench.

Ljungberg heard George's words, took off his coat, and began to warm up. Although Ljungberg apologized, George still put him on the bench for this game.

But this time Ljungberg didn't make a noise, but sat quietly on the bench.

With the whistle blowing at the end of the first half, George was the first to enter the dressing room. A smile appeared on George's face as he looked at the players who entered. It's a rare smile for George in recent games.

'Everyone had a good first half and I'm satisfied. George is certainly not happy that Burnley drew with Bolton, and Bolton is no different from passerby A and passerby B in George's heart. George's targets are Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and other super teams.

"Frank, press up in the second half. Don't back down like you did in the first half, your place should be here. "George drew a circle thirty metres in front of Bolton." You get the most out of your running ability, and you have the kung fu to shoot from a distance. ”

Lampard nodded to make it clear, and Lampard liked the position up front.

"Danny, I'm sorry for the second half and you're coming down to rest. In the first half you protected the right and the centre, and you did a very good job. But I'm going to attack in the second half, so I'm sorry. "George has been through Ljungberg and understands that these talented players have tempers. And the temper is not small, so try to show yourself very sincere when you say it.

Danny Murphy was of course reluctant, but nodded his head despite reluctance. Ljungberg just didn't cooperate with the players, and George was banned for two months. Although I don't know how Ljungberg got into the squad in this game, most people know that Ljungberg went to the office to find George before.

Danny Murphy knew that in George's mind, he was definitely inferior to Ljungberg. George even said that if he was blocked, he would be blocked, let alone himself.

"Frederick, you came on for Danny in the second half. My request to you is very simple, break through and break through. You should have seen it on the bench, Bolton is very arrogant at the moment. The two full-backs don't have any scruples at all, you come on and let them know that they know how good they are. George didn't repeat the same old story, and George was confident that Ljungberg's cleverness would never make the same mistake again.

Yongbei nodded expressionlessly, understanding that this game was related to his future fate. If you perform well and are recognized, then the road ahead will be smooth sailing. But once there is an if, George may really abolish himself.

"Michael, you have a lot of work to do in the second half. Not only do you have to defend but you also have to play offense. You have to look at it in the midfield, whether the wing attack can be opened or not, you need to move. ”

Barak nodded with a resolute expression.

"Daniel, Steve, you two can plug in at the right time." As the league progresses, Finnan has begun to gradually replace the aging Grant, appearing more at right-back.

…………

"Klose header, oops. Slightly off the goalpost, it's a shame. ”

'Frank Lampard shot from distance and was saved.'

"At the beginning of the second half, Burnley set off a small ** and suddenly accelerated, catching Bolton off guard. Thankfully, the goalkeeper played well. ”

Burnley gave Bolton a blow at the start of the second half. There were just a few shots on goal, but they were all too close to being able to score. Ten minutes into the second half, Burnley dropped their attack and began to retreat, the tempo becoming slightly slower.

Coming back to their senses, Bolton began their attack, but it quickly turned into a first-half stalemate.

After another attack was cut off by Neil Lennon, Neil Lennon handed the ball to Ballack. Ballack moved to the right and Ljungberg made a beautiful stop before smashing past Bolton's midfield.

Fifteen minutes into the second half, Bolton were well informed of Ljungberg's pace and technique. As a result, Bolton's defensive centre of gravity gradually shifted to the right, with two players in the middle of Ljungberg.

Ljungberg didn't really care about the two of them, but thinking of George's cold face, he made a feint to go to the bottom line, and then passed it in the direction of the left rear.

Barak ran forward and saw someone stop him right in front of him. Therefore, instead of stopping the ball directly, he followed the direction from which the ball came from, knocked it with his right heel, and led it to the left side of the body. It was a small action that was lightning and flint, and Bolton's defender was shaken by Ballack's action and missed Ballack.

Ballack's flick almost broke up Bolton's defensive system. Ballack didn't stick to the ball and just went straight to the left.

Bolton, who were drawn to most of the defence by Ljungberg, were almost empty on the right. Daniel, who had been defending all the game, came to the empty space at a rapid pace and passed the ball straight into the penalty area after that ball.

The ball was passed quickly and well, and in the middle of the crowd, Klose jumped high and shook his head hard.
