Chapter 45: Breaking the surface with a point (Part 2)

"Ljungberg got the ball, and Ljungberg, who came on in the second half, was definitely Burnley's biggest attack point. Almost all of Burnley's attacks started from this side."

"Ljungberg broke through, no, Ljungberg passed the ball... Ballack, a beautiful pass. He led the ball with his heel and passed the defender. Bolton's right side was empty, Ballack passed the ball."

"Daniel got the ball, he didn't stop the ball, and passed the ball. Look who it is, Klose jumped high, shook his head and hit the goal, beautiful, beautiful goal!!!! This series of cooperation, short and simple And practical. Burnley’s offense has always been so simple, but the effect is very good.”

The BBC commentator who broadcast the game almost fell asleep. I couldn't help complaining in my heart. Why did the BBC broadcast this game? You should know just by hearing the publicity. One is the team with the strongest offensive power, and the other is the team with the best defensive ability. What a fun game to watch.

But as soon as this goal appeared, I immediately became energetic.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!" The commentator at Turf Moor Stadium didn't care about that. The moment the goal was scored, he raised his voice and started cheering.

The entire Turf Moor Stadium also completely ignited the passion with this goal and burst into huge cheers. Like a volcanic eruption, the ground at Turf Moor shook.

George also clenched his fists tightly on the sidelines, and then hugged Karl Pat fiercely next to him. Being able to lead Bolton at home will play a big role in boosting Burnley's confidence.

Although they have only played the first eight rounds, Bolton's schedule is much more dangerous than Burnley's. The opponents in the previous games are all quite capable, and several teams are favorites for promotion this season.

But Bolton are almost destroying everyone, and all commentators are already convinced that Bolton will definitely be promoted at the end of the season. And now that Burnley is leading such a powerful Bolton Wanderers, one can imagine the mood of George, including the entire club and fans.

But George is even more happy about Ljungberg's role. Of course, Ljungberg alone cannot replace the entire team, but once he opens up, Burnley's offense will be fully active.

With Ljungberg's lightning speed on the right, Ballack will be liberated first, making Ballack's long pass scheduling useful. The opening of the right wing will reduce the pressure on the left wing, giving Daniel room to play.

Of course, opening up the wings and stretching the opponent's defense gives Lampard more room to play. This is the so-called point-breaking effect.

"Ljungberg is 19 years old when he attracts defenders, Ballack is 20 years old when he transfers the ball in midfield, Daniel is 18 years old when he crosses the ball, and Klose is 18 years old when he hits the goal with his head. Of course, there are also the two-year-old Eighteen-year-old George Levy, Burnley's young star is rising with their young coach, and I am very much looking forward to what kind of performance Burnley will have when they are promoted to the Premier League." The commentator, who was unhurriedly evaluating the goal, suddenly paused and then shouted. "Oh, what did we see!"

It turned out that after scoring the goal, Klose took two steps forward and then performed a beautiful front flip.

The Burnley fans were already excited because of the goal. When they saw Klose's celebration, the passion of the fans was once again ignited.

"Miro——" The on-site commentator matched this passion. If the on-site commentator shouted, the fans would match him. "Klose!"

"Miro——" "Klose!"

"Miro——" "Klose!"

Klose's celebration stunned the players who came to celebrate. Because there are many goal celebrations, but there are absolutely very few players who dare to perform such difficult actions. Because this kind of somersault is easy to get injured.

After Klose stood up very steadily after somersault, the players went over to celebrate with Klose. After finally getting rid of these players, Klose walked along the court to the bench.

George smiled and stretched out his hand. When Klose saw George, he also stretched out his hand while running. The two clapped their hands in perfect agreement, and George patted Klose on the shoulder again. "Well done, Milo."

After passing George, Klose silently made up his mind. "Tou, I won't let you down."

Klose certainly knows that he is still unable to defeat Richard in terms of ability. But George gave himself and Richard the same treatment.

Colin Todd could no longer sit still and stood up to let Bolton attack.

"Beep--" The referee awarded a foul to Burnley. This time the foul was caused by Ljungberg, who started to defend from the front court.

Seeing Ljungberg working so hard on defense, George stood on the sidelines and applauded. This is the player George wants. Ljungberg's performance today made George quite satisfied.

However, the referee who gave Ljungberg the yellow card was furious when he saw George clapping on the sidelines and quickly came to George's side. "Coach Levi, please control your emotions. If you behave like this again, I will have to ask you to the stands."

Looking at the serious referee, George really couldn't laugh or cry. So I could only nod with a wry smile. "Yes, I understand."

Of course, this is just a small episode. Bolton is not a team that is good at defense. Their attack power is very strong, but their defense is also problematic.

After a heavy press, gaps abounded in Bolton's defense.

In the 77th minute, Yongberg received the ball and quickly counterattacked. In the previous few games, Burnley also defended well, but the counterattack was not sharp. It was because there was no speed player like Yongberg in the frontcourt.

Because the full-backs on both sides all pressed up, when Yongberg counterattacked, Bolton's entire back line had no time to defend.

In the end, Yongberg on the right, Klose and Kevin Phillips on the forward line, and Lampard who followed up in the midfield formed four attack points in the frontcourt. Bolton's defense was only two central defenders, and Yongberg carried the ball all the way to the near post. This time there was no forced shot, but a fake shot and a real pass, which was passed to the penalty area.

Once Yongberg put down his pride and was willing to cooperate with others, Yongberg's talent was fully revealed.

The ball was so comfortable to wear, completely in Lampard's running route. Lampard didn't even need to adjust his pace or speed, and he just shot the ball directly. The ball flew into the goal like a cannonball.

"Beautiful, Ljungberg is definitely the most threatening part of Burnley's attack. With Burnley's strong defense and offensive players like Ljungberg, Burnley's future in the First Division is bright. We can even predict that Burnley can be directly promoted to the Premier League in this year's First Division." Seeing Lampard's goal, everyone knew that Burnley had won this game.

Burnley won this game with five wins and four draws in nine games, accumulating 19 points, only three points behind Bolton.

George was also very happy on the sidelines because he knew that this game was won. Winning any team cannot be compared with winning Bolton. Bolton is now the first favorite team to be promoted. Defeating Bolton can greatly boost Burnley's confidence.

Morale is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it really affects the performance of a team.

"Beep, beep, beep--" As the referee's whistle to end the game sounded, the Turf Moor Stadium was filled with earth-shaking cheers.

George stood in front to greet players one after another, and would pat them on the shoulders to show encouragement.

"Frederic, how do you feel about cooperating with the team?" George looked at Ljungberg and asked with a smile.

Ljungberg did not become humble because he was too humble to George. "It feels good to win."

"Hahaha." George couldn't help laughing when he heard what Ljungberg said. This kid is indeed arrogant. "Frederic, if you play like today, you will definitely leave your mark in Swedish football history."
