"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it! Now the leader is Burnley from League One, which is a result that many people did not expect before the game. We briefly counted the data from the bookmaker, and we had a very intuitive impression. More than 90 per cent of bettors have been placed on Chelsea, with Burnley being a fraction of bets. ”

"Before the game, people were very unoptimistic about Burnley, who had a smooth ride. None of them believed Burnley could beat the mighty Chelsea, but it was only thirteen minutes into the game! Burnley breached Chelsea's goal. ”

As soon as Ljungberg got the ball, George was already nervously watching the situation on the field. The moment Kevin Phillips scored, George couldn't help but jump on the spot and then swung his fist hard.

George and everyone next to him were hugging and celebrating. This goal gave Burnley more room to adjust in the next game.

Not just George, but the entire Burnley bench was on their feet. The Burnley fans were even more pleasantly surprised, even though they kept shouting "George, we want the title". But in fact, they are also very unhappy about the victory against Chelsea.

But thirteen minutes into the first half, Burnley were already one goal ahead. How can you not excite Burnley fans?

Chelsea fans and players alike were frustrated, but Chelsea were a strong team in the Premier League and were not flustered despite being led by Burnley.

Most of the current Chelsea players have been through the storms and waves, and many of them have been champions. They don't rush because they are behind by a ball. It was only thirteen minutes into the first half, and there were nearly eighty minutes left in the game. There is time to equalize and overtake.

From the loss of the first goal, Vialli also discovered that Chelsea had just been disconnected from the third line. So it was just a simple tweak.

Although Vialli was on the pitch, Dennis Wise still took the blame for his captaincy. He comforted a few defenders at first and then shouted loud encouragement to his players. The Chelsea players, who were shocked by conceding the goal too quickly, quickly calmed down.

With the restart, Chelsea were less tentative at the start and instead took a strong approach. When Chelsea really stepped up their attack, the Burnley defence was immediately in turmoil.

George saw that Burnley was struggling defensively, and with a big wave of his hand, everyone except Klose was in front, and everyone returned to the half-time defense. Gianfranco Zola and Di Matteo are technically excellent, but they are not very physically.

After starting to enter the full defense, the Burnley players began to foul frequently with their bodies according to George's deployment. Even Camoranesi, Neil Rennon and others frequently interrupted Chelsea's rhythm with small movements.

As with other technical teams, Burnley will struggle to defend once they get Chelsea to play their rhythm. It's just a dense defence, and it really can't stop Chelsea. So against Chelsea like this, the most important thing is not to let them play their rhythm.

Burnley's frequent fouls kept the game on and off. The referee's whistle was also played frequently, but Burnley's players were very measured in their fouls. The referee can't play a card because of this foul, and today's referee penalty scale is relatively loose.

Therefore, although there have been frequent fouls, there has not been a single yellow card so far.

Vialli frowned deeply as he watched Chelsea's attacks be interrupted again and again. With Burnley defending at full strength, the empty space between midfield and front has disappeared. And Burnley's defence is also more layered.

And interrupted Chelsea's attack again and again, so that Chelsea's smooth cooperation could not play.

Faced with Burnley's bucket-like defence, Chelsea's attack has always been anticlimactic.

George stood on the edge of the court, the smile on his lips growing brighter. Looking at Vialli, George shook his head.

Vialli is a very good player, one of the best strikers of his time as a player. When he moved to Sampdoria, Vialli set the highest transfer price for a young player. But Vialli was very calm, and he said that my worth is not something that money can measure. Such is Vialli's self-confidence.

Vialli has also had a very good record in charge of Chelsea, and is one of Chelsea's most successful managers.

But the current Vialli, on the contrary, has a fatal flaw. It's that Vialli is now a player and a manager. There are certain benefits to being a player as a manager. You can understand the mentality of the players and convey their intentions anytime and anywhere on the field.

But there are also very big drawbacks. That's because when you're in the game, you can't keep up with a lot of things on the court. Just like Chelsea's disconnect between the back and midfield, if Vialli were in command from the pitch, he would have seen it first and then made adjustments. But Vialli was on the field at the moment, so he didn't see such a big hole.

It was this leak that gave Burnley a one-goal lead.

If you really want a player to be a coach at the same time, George thinks it's better for a defender to be a coach. Especially at the back, you can observe the situation on the field, but Vialli, as a striker, will have a lot of problems when he is a coach.

The minutes ticked by, and soon the thirty-five minutes of the first half had passed. Ever since Burnley scored a goal, the whole game has been lethargic to watch. An unclear number of fouls made the whole game intermittent. Except that a foul is a foul, it's not smooth at all.

Because of Chelsea, there are many neutral fans who are also paying attention to this game. But a lot of neutral fans have lost interest in the current game.

Because the game was so boring, the broadcast cameras began to look around the pitch to see if they could capture some important footage.

"Well, who is this? Isn't this Vogts? "Mortenson is also bored, and the commentary is not energetic. However, when I saw the person who came out of the broadcast footage, I screamed loudly. "How did Vogts come here, shouldn't he be a matter of worrying about the World Cup in France now?"

"He's supposed to be here to inspect the players, right?" Alain Hansen was also surprised.

"Looking at the players, there are only two German players on the pitch at the moment. Ballack and Klose are both Burnley players. Vogts didn't want to take the two of them to the World Cup. ”

"It's definitely not Klose, I think it's Ballack. Ballack has been in excellent form for Burnley this season and has scored nineteen goals for them. As the heart of Burnley's midfield, his performances are there for all to see. In two years' time, I believe Ballack will be able to become the main midfield of the German national team. Alain Hansen makes no secret of his admiration for Ballack.

Berti Vogts looked at the game on the field with a solemn face, Vogts had indeed come to inspect Ballack. Ballack has made a name for himself in English football, although Burnley are yet to reach the Premier League. But as a midfielder, he has scored nineteen goals at Burnley this season, which is enough to keep many strong teams on the radar of Ballack.

"But so far in this game, Ballack has only been a defensive midfielder and has not yet shown his attacking quality, especially his ability to score goals. However, the goal that was passed to Ljungberg just now showed his outstanding vision. ”

Vogts's appearance was only a small episode, but it was the only scene in the first half that made the audience slightly interested in the first half, apart from the goal.

With the referee's whistle, the first half, which was shattered by Burnley's foul, finally came to an end.

Burnley's players were all smiling, after all, no matter what the first half was going on, Burnley were 1-0 ahead of Chelsea. This is ahead of Chelsea, not Burnley, who have won against teams who have not taken cup competitions seriously in the Premier League for relegation.

And it's the final, and as long as the score is held to the end, Burnley will win the Carabao Cup for the first time in their history.
