103 before the game
Before the League Cup final, although George was also very nervous, he was not like this. Because the schedule was very intensive at that time, Burnley had another League One just three days before the League Cup final. After the League Cup final, Burnley was followed by League One. There were only three or four days in the middle, and George didn't have time to be nervous.
But this time it is different. The League One League ended completely on May 3rd, and there will be 13 days by May 16th.
People are like this. Once they have some time, they will think about it when they are idle. So did George, who reached the FA Cup final for the first time. The weight of the FA Cup is completely different from that of the League Cup.
Whether it is Italy, Spain or Germany, the cup competition held by their Football Association is a chicken rib game in the eyes of major clubs. Not to mention the major giants, many strong teams don't pay attention to such a cup match. But unlike these countries, England has a very special position in the English FA Cup.
As the oldest football event in England and even the world, the FA Cup has a high reputation and popularity in the eyes of English fans. Even with the vigorous development of the Premier League, the FA Cup is still regarded as a very important honor for England. Even Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool are proud to win the FA Cup.
However, the FA Cup is one of the few events that the English Football Association can control in its own hands, while the Premier League and the English League Cup are in the hands of the English Football League. It was because of the great influence of the FA Cup that the English Football League made the English League Cup in 1962 in order to fight against the FA Cup.
But after nearly 40 years, the English FA Cup still firmly suppressed the League Cup. The League Cup is still a real chicken rib cup, and the FA Cup is the most famous and popular event in England in addition to the Premier League.
If George can win the FA Cup, his reputation is not the same as when he won the League Cup.
Thinking about these things, George has been unable to feel completely at ease these days. Although George doesn't have any abnormality on the surface, George still plays drums in his heart.
At this time, George expected Ameke to be by his side, but he heard that George was close to signing a contract with Burnley, and he would sign the contract at the end of the FA Cup final. This made Ameick very angry, so he never came to see George.
At this time, George found that there were still many differences between the two. Different ideas and likes are also different.
With the end of the league, England now has only one event left in the FA Cup final. Therefore, all the media in England focused on the two clubs, Arsenal and Burnley. These two clubs have gained a lot this season.
First of all, it is the veteran giant Arsenal. After Wenger took office, it has become a scenery of English football not only in terms of playing style. It won the first Premier League championship, which overwhelmed Manchester United, the most popular in the 1990s. This is also the first championship won by Wenger after entering England.
Arsenal's opponent Burnley is the champion of the League One. He not only upgraded with a big advantage, but also won the League Cup not long ago.
Wenger and George are also the two most watched coaches in English football this year. When Wenger first came to England, he was teased by the English media. Arsena? Who is Arsena? But only a year later, everyone in English football praised Wenger. Although many people complain about Wenger, a coach who doesn't like the tradition of English football, everyone is convinced of his coaching strength.
George is the best freshman coach in England. He is young and less than 30 years old. However, Burnley was promoted from the League Two to the Premier League within three years. He also led the League One team to win the League Cup.
These two people should not know each other, but after Burnley and West Bromwich, Wenger supported George when he accused George of West Brom's rough foul. No one knows the relationship between the two.
............
"What about Arsenal!" A young man in a Burnley jersey looked at the reporter with contempt and said carelessly, "What about Chelsea when we were in the League Cup final? It's different. It's defeated by us. Whoever says we can't defeat Arsenal.
As the FA Cup final approached, Burnley suddenly had a lot of reporters. They all want to hear the opinions of Burnley fans.
"We must be the champions. Who says we can't win the FA Cup."
"If we defeat Arsenal, we will be the champions." Burnley fans are very excited. This season's Burnley has made the fans extremely excited. The series of miracles brought by George made them confident.
"Seeing the confidence of Burnley fans, I don't know what to say. Burnley fans may have forgotten that they are facing Arsenal, Arsenal. It's Arsenal, which has just won the Premier League championship!" The beautiful female reporter who interviewed Burnley fans shook her head with a smile, emphasizing the word " Arsenal." I believe they all know that the team they are facing is Arsenal, but they are still so confident. What on earth has given Burnley fans so much confidence? This is what I'm most curious about.
When he met Arsenal, Burnley should be depressed in the reporter's opinion. Or lack of confidence, but every Burnley fan he meets is not afraid of Arsenal at all.
"We believe in George. As long as there is George, anything is possible."
"We will definitely win the FA Cup. George will definitely bring us the championship." Soon some fans gave the reporter the answer he wanted.
Although it was just a simple interview on the road, the reporter was already very happy. I'm also very satisfied with today's interview, and I got what I wanted.
"George, the young coach, won the unanimous love of Burnley fans, and these fans agreed to believe in George. What kind of magic does George have to make these fans believe George so much. The reporter blushed. George has so far brought Burnley the League Two champion, the League One championship and the League Cup championship, and it only took three years to bring Burnley to the Premier League. I think this should be the reason why George is so trusted in Burnley.
............
Because George hasn't bought a car yet, and Burnley is too small to need a car. George's house is very close to the club, so George usually walks to the club. Unless it rains, you will take a taxi.
George saw a lot of people along the way. Some of them knew and some didn't. But after seeing George, they greeted him warmly. George either nodded or waved his hand.
There will even be some fans who hold George to say something encouraging. Of course, there are also fans like Burns who are familiar with him who will talk to George loudly.
"George, we want the champion. Without a champion, don't drink with me anymore.
George didn't say much when he met them. He patted his chest and gave him a thumbs up.
As long as you see George's action, all of them will do the same, and then leave with laughter.
