'Ballack put the ball on the penalty spot and Burnley had a good chance to overtake the scoreline.

Barak stood where he was, not running. Shot! Pretty, Flores didn't even react at all. The ball was too fast and Burnley were 2-1 up. ”

'Now Blackburn Rovers are one goal behind and one man less. Burnley have already won this game. ”

Indeed, in less than 20 minutes of the second half, Blackburn's side already had a big physical problem. Just like Hendry, if it weren't for his physical strength to keep up, he wouldn't have to use his feet in the end.

Now that there is one person missing, Blackburn has no chance at all.

When Hodgson saw Hendry go down, he had no choice but to replace Gallaher and replace him as a defender.

But Blackburn's decline was unstoppable, and on 77 minutes, Ballack received Ljungberg's pass from the left and fired a long-range shot through Flores' goal for the second time.

"Ballack is a really good player, he can attack, defend, pass and shoot, and he is an all-rounder in the middle." Mortensen saw Ballack score two goals in this game and spoke highly of Ballack. Mortensen has always made no secret of his love for the German player.

"Speaking of which, George's vision is absolutely first-class, and he almost never looks at it. If people were to choose the best acquisition of George in three years, I'm sure a lot of people would choose Poborsky. But if I had to say it, it would have to be Barak. ”

'Ballack didn't cost Burnley a penny and was already the best midfielder in League One. I believe that according to the current trend at Burnley, as long as Ballack plays in the Premier League, he will soon be able to enter the German national team. Like Mortenson, Alan Hansen is very bullish on Ballack.

In the end, Burnley beat Blackburn Rovers 3-1 away to advance to the fifth round of the Carabao Cup. George led Burnley to two wins over Blackburn Rovers in three years, both at Ewood Park.

Standing at Ewood Park, George raised his hands to the red phalanx and began to rhythmically cheer the Burnley fans. As George waved his arms, all the Burnley fans cheered rhythmically. The whole of Ewood Park became a sea of Burnley fans.

Of course, as an opponent of the derby, it is also an opponent of a century-old grudge. Having won at the opposition's home stadium, the Burnley fans did not miss the opportunity to irritate the Blackburn fans. They were all chanting "Welcome to League One!" ”

George also waved his hands, echoing the slogans of the fans mocking Blackburn. This really angered all the Blackburn Rovers fans in attendance, and they used all the curses they could on George.

But George didn't care, and even gestured to the insults of the Blackburn fans. This drew boos from Blackburn Rovers fans at Ewood Park.

"Hahaha! Look at George, and listen to what Blackburn fans have to say about George. I believe that for a long time, the person that Blackburn fans hate the most must be George. Mortenson said with a smile.

Alan Hansen also smiled and said, "That's for sure. George not only won against Blackburn, but more importantly provoked Blackburn fans every time. George was destined to be the enemy of Blackburn fans. ”

"Hodgson, will he go back to the path of coach Shafort. It was precisely because of the loss to Burnley in the League Cup that the morale of Coach Shafort plummeted, and he finally resigned in desperation. Morteson sighed.

"This Blackburn Rovers are no longer the champions who swept the Premier League back then."

Although when Blackburn Rovers were on the rise, many English football people were very hostile to Blackburn. Because Blackburn Rovers is the first championship in the history of the Premier League to be piled up with money, many people hate Blackburn.

When Morteson and Alan Hansen were hosts, they mocked and ridiculed Blackburn. But when Blackburn went from a champion to the point where they are now, they still sighed.

'If Burnley beat Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park two years ago, it was George's tactics that were right. Or maybe George used a defensive counterattack to defeat Blackburn, who was careless at the time. So in today's game, Burnley won without dispute. Burnley's quality has reached the level of the Premier League, and next season in the Premier League we will be able to see 30-year-old Premier League club managers. ”

…………

There were a lot of people in today's press conference, and Hodgson lost the game, but he was more personable than George. came to the press conference earlier than George, although he had a cold face, he was much more cultured than George.

Seeing George come in, he shook hands with George with a cold face. This made George admire Hodgson very much, but admiration is admiration, but George did not give Hodgson any face after sitting down.

"A player like Hendry lifts his foot when the ball is clearly out of reach. Such players should be banned for life. As soon as he sat down, George lashed out at Hendry, who was sent off for a red card. Fortunately, Klose had nothing to do, otherwise George would have had to settle accounts with Hendry.

"There will be such and such accidents in the game, and Hendry definitely didn't mean it." It's a red card, and Hodgson can't defend himself too much.

"As a veteran player, Hendry should know what actions he can and can't do. But as Blackburn Rovers captain, he set a bad example for young players and young students. The FA should ban such a player, and it will be a lifetime ban! ”

Seeing that Hodgson had a good attitude, George was embarrassed to pursue it. But for Hendry, George is really gnashing his teeth. Klose is a striker that George has high hopes for, and if there is any serious injury, then even a lifetime ban will not be worth it.

But when George's words were heard, the reporters and Hodgson looked at each other. Hendry was described as a bad example by George just because of his actions on the field. Then George is a bad role model for teenagers, and he is embarrassed to talk about others.

However, Hodgson didn't have much reaction, and George was not interested. Anyway, it's already a victory, so I'm not ready to continue to ridicule them.

So George just said a few words and left the press conference. Many reporters waited dryly to see a good show, not expecting that George seemed to be aggressive at the press conference, but he immediately became honest.

The rest of the time, George just spoke briefly about the team's performance. Hodgson lost the game, and there wasn't much to say. So a press conference of the derby ended in such a hurry.

"How was it like to beat Blackburn?" In the middle of the bus, George watched the excited players shout.

"Okay."

'It's just the first step, there are four games to go. It's only four games gone and the Carabao Cup is ours. Do you want the League Cup? ”

"League Cup! League Cup! ”

'Well, both promotion and the League Cup. Next year we will not only play in the Premier League, but also in the UEFA Cup. ”

Mitchell was excited tonight because it was his second win over Blackburn. So like a child, I stood up. "Play in the Premier League, play in the League Cup."

"Play in the Premier League, play in the League Cup."

Just two days later, Burnley host Huddersfield Town. Because of the Carabao Cup, George changed most of his players. Including Ljungberg, Camoranesi, and Ballack all chose to rest.

The backup defenders who eventually replaced Mitchell and Gary Brin failed to keep Hadfield at bay. In the end, they lost the game 0-1 at home.

Although it was a loss, the Burnley fans were not frustrated at all. The victory over Blackburn Rovers left Burnley fans happy for a long time.
