95 Divergence (Ask for Collection)
On April 5, in the 39th round of League One, Burnley met the Queen's Rangers Park. Despite the Carabao Cup triumph, the Burnley players are not showing signs of fatigue. Robbie Keane, who came on as a substitute for ten minutes in the League Cup final, vented all his frustration in this game.
In less than 28 minutes of the first half, a hat-trick was already scored. Let his Burnley goals have reached 19. It can be said that Robbie Keane, who is just 17 years old this year and is playing in a professional league for the first time, has already shown a talent that no one can imagine.
Although in some important cup games, George was successively excluded from the starting lineup. But when it comes to the Burnley front, the first thing everyone brings up is Robbie Keane.
Robbie Keane is very good at speed, technique, and even point-grabbing. Already one of the most famous strikers in League One, there have even been Premier League clubs offering Robbie Keane Β£3 million in the winter. By now, there are no five million pounds, and they are embarrassed to ask for it.
When the first half opened with a big lead, George slowed down the tempo. There have been so many games this season that the Burnley players are already quite tired. Now it's only because I'm saving a breath that I'm playing so well.
Controlling the game, Burnley are also very good at it. In the end, Ljungberg put the icing on the cake in the second half, 4-0 to end the 39th round. At the other venue, Nottingham Forest lost to Wolves, extending the gap to Burnley to 15 points. And Middlesbrough also took the opportunity to close the gap with Nottingham Forest.
With seven league games remaining, Burnley's lead couldn't be bigger. Fifteen points, this kind of difference is already an impossible point to reverse in any league. Burnley now need only six points to secure the League One title for the remaining games.
Burnley are now not only a big margin ahead of Nottingham Forest, but even have a goal difference of 27 more than Nottingham Forest.

"George, your contract is about to expire, isn't it?" Saila Emic snuggled into George's arms, stroked George's chest and asked.
"How do you know?"
"Cut, you forgot what I was for. In fact, the expiration of your contract is not an important secret. Now who in our line doesn't know, everyone is waiting for you to bring you a news with an explosive surname. Emic pouted, dissatisfied with George's underestimation of himself.
George shrugged. "If they want to get an explosive news from me, I think they're all in vain."
"You want to renew your contract with Burnley?" Amic's voice rose sharply, and he sat up.
George looked at Amic, who was shirtless, and his hands began to be dishonest. But this time Emic knocked off George's dishonest hand and said very seriously: "George, I'm going to tell you serious now." Have you already renewed your contract? β
George reluctantly put down his hand, in fact, George didn't like to talk to Emic about these things. What Emic was thinking in his heart, George understood, but George's mind was thinking Emic couldn't understand.
"Not yet, Mr. President came to me a few days ago just to talk about the renewal of the contract. But I refused. β
"Really! That's great. When Emic heard George's words, he immediately came to his senses. George, listen to me. Burnley FC is too small and has very limited development potential. You're doing very well now, but if you want Burnley to compete with Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, you can't do it alone. β
This is something that Emic said many times when he was with George. George understands Emic's thoughts, and Emic wants him to coach at a club with more potential and attention.
"Saila ......" George wanted to tell Saila that he was just not signing for the time being. But at the end of the season, there will definitely be a signing. However, Emic covered George's mouth with his small hand.
"George, I have news. Dalglish will leave the coaching post of Newcastle United after this season. John Hall heard that he admired you very much and offered you an invitation to be the head coach next season. This is a good opportunity. Although it was at home, Emic still said very quietly.
George was not stunned by the news, as he had already received an offer from Newcastle from other sources. Dalglish's two years at Newcastle have been mediocre, neither good nor bad.
However, Dalglish's conservative dismissal was not accepted by Newcastle fans. And the average results could not satisfy the ambitious John Hall, so early on it was announced that Dalglish would be leaving St James' Park after this season.
George was also very surprised to get Newcastle's offer, but George turned down other offers, including Newcastle, on the grounds that he could not be distracted during the season.
"Seira, I've already been approached by an intermediary." George didn't lie to Amic.
"Really!" Emic was pleased. "George, that's Newcastle. There is every potential to become the best club in England and the world. It's going to be a big leap in your coaching career. β
Looking at the excited Emic, George didn't know what to tell her. Although George also knew that Burnley's small place had limited potential, and was not very happy with Kilby's short-sightedness, he never thought of leaving Burnley.
George said that Burnley was his home, and it was by no means hypocritical. From the time George came to England, George had always been a Burnley.
"Cyla, I don't want to lie to you. I didn't think about leaving Burnley, I rejected Mr Kilby, not that I was leaving Burnley. Rather, it is because I have some important issues to discuss with Mr. Kilby. β
"You mean you're going to renew your contract with Burnley?" Emic frowned. "George, now is the time for you to make a name for yourself. You have to know that everyone has an opportunity problem, and if you give up this opportunity, you may not have such a good opportunity in a few years. β
"George, don't you want to be a world-class coach. Don't want to earn more than 10,000 pounds a week? Is Kilby rich? How many fans are there at Burnley? Burnley fans have money? Can Burnley give you a good wage? Can Burnley help you buy the players you need? Even if there are good players willing to follow you, can Burnley afford to pay their wages? Emic asked one after another, and Emic couldn't figure out why George was so stubborn.
George is a coach, not an ordinary fan. What is there to be nostalgic for a club like Burnley with no future.
Seeing that Emic was a little anxious, George wanted to calm him down. It's a pity that Emic pushed George away and looked at George very seriously.
"...... Saila, you don't understand." George shook his head. "Burnley carries my dreams and I built Burnley now. I'm confident that Burnley will be a Premier League powerhouse. β
Emic closed his eyes and sighed slowly.
"George, I don't know if you're naΓ―ve or ....... I know the current Burnley players are very strong, and a lot of my peers are saying that your youth army might be able to replicate Ferguson's 92 generation. But George, do you think Burnley can really keep them? β
Seeing that George still didn't understand, Emic didn't know what to say about him. 'Burnley are not big clubs and they can't keep these players when they get to the Premier League. Your favourite Ballack, if there is a club bid Β£8 million, Β£10 million, what do you think Kilby would choose? β
George still shook his head.
"Seila, I know you mean well. But ...... "George likes Emic, but he doesn't like Emic being too strong." Emic has his own plans for every aspect of George, but George doesn't like it.
"Saila! Saila ...... "Emic was very angry when he heard George say such firm words. After taking care of himself, he finished getting dressed and left.
George looked at Emic's back and shook his head helplessly. The two have very different ideas, George is a small hillbilly, while Emic is a very good family. George just wants to be a good coach, and Emic wants George to be a star in the coaching world.
