Before the League Cup final, George was also very nervous, but not like now. Because the fixtures were so intense, Burnley had a League One game just three days before the Carabao Cup final. After the Carabao Cup final, Burnley followed suit in League One. There were only three or four days in between, and George didn't have time to be nervous.

But this time it was different, as the League One was completely over on May 3, and there were 13 days until May 16.

People are like this, once they have a little time, they will think about everything when they are free. The same can be said of George, who reached the FA Cup final for the first time. The FA Cup, the weight is completely different from the League Cup.

Whether it's Italy, Spain or Germany, the cups held by their football associations are the chicken ribs in the eyes of the major clubs. Don't say it's the big giants, it's just that many strong teams don't take such a cup in their eyes. But England, unlike these countries, has a very special place in the FA Cup.

As the oldest football competition in England and the world, the FA Cup has a high reputation and popularity in the eyes of English fans. Even with the current boom in the Premier League, the FA Cup is still considered a very important honour for England. Even Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool are proud to have won the FA Cup.

However, the FA Cup is one of the few competitions that the English FA 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 precisely because the FA Cup was so influential that the English Football League came up with the English League Cup in 1962 in order to compete with the FA Cup.

But almost four decades later, the FA Cup is still firmly in league moderation. The League Cup is still a real chicken rib cup competition, while the FA Cup is the most famous and popular competition in England outside of the Premier League.

If George can win the FA Cup, he will have the same prestige as he did when he won the League Cup.

Thinking about these things, George has not been completely at ease these days. Although George doesn't have any abnormalities on the surface, deep down George still has a drum in his heart.

At this time, George was expecting Emic to be by his side, but heard that George was close to signing with Burnley, and would sign as soon as the FA Cup final was over. This made Emic very angry, so he never came to George.

George only discovered at this time that there were still many differences between the two. Different ideas and different things to like.

With the league coming to an end, England now have only one FA Cup final left. As a result, all the media in England focused on the two clubs of Arsenal and Burnley. These two clubs have had a very productive season.

The first is the old giant Arsenal, after Wenger took office, not only in terms of playing style, but also became a landscape in English football. He won the first Premier League title, overpowering Manchester United, who was the most popular in the 90s. It was also Arsene Wenger's first title since he entered England.

Arsenal's opponents, Burnley, are League One champions, not only promoted by a big margin, but also won the Carabao Cup not long ago.

Arsene Wenger and George are also two of the most talked-about coaches in English football this year, with Arsene Wenger being ridiculed by the English media when he first arrived in England. "Arsène? Who is Arsène? ”。 But just a year later, everyone in English football is raving about Arsene Wenger. Although there are many people who have complained about Arsene Wenger, a coach who does not like the tradition of English football, everyone is convinced of his coaching ability.

George is one of England's leading new coaches, and he is still under 30 years old. However, he led Burnley to be promoted from League Two to the Premier League within three years. He also led the LinkedIn A team and won the League Cup.

The two men should not know each other, but after the Burnley and West Brom game, Arsene Wenger stood in solidarity with George when he complained about West Bromwich Albion's rough foul. The relationship between the two is unclear.

…………

"What about Arsenal!" A young man in a Burnley shirt looked at the reporter with disdain and said: "What about Chelsea when we were in the Carabao Cup final? It's not like we were beaten, who said we couldn't beat Arsenal. ”

With the FA Cup final fast approaching, Burnley suddenly has a lot of journalists. They all want to hear what Burnley fans have to say.

'We've got to be champions, who says we can't win the FA Cup.'

'Win against Arsenal and we'll be champions.' Burnley fans are very excited. This season's Burnley has made fans extremely excited. And the series of miracles brought by George made them all full of confidence.

'Seeing the confidence of the Burnley fans, I don't know what to say. Burnley fans may have forgotten that they are facing Arsenal, Arsenal. It's Arsenal who have just won the Premier League! The beautiful female reporter who interviewed the Burnley fans smiled and shook her head, emphasizing the words "Arsenal". 'I'm sure they all know they're playing against Arsenal, but they're still so confident. What is it that gives Burnley fans such confidence is what I'm most curious about. ”

Encountering Arsenal, in the eyes of reporters, Burnley should be depressed. Or maybe it's not a bit of confidence, but every Burnley fan you meet is not afraid of Arsenal at all.

"We believe in George. As long as George is around, anything is possible. ”

'We're going to get the FA Cup. George will definitely bring us the championship. Soon there were fans who gave the reporter the answers he wanted.

Although it was only a simple interview on the road, the reporter was already very happy. I am also very satisfied with today's interview, and I can be regarded as getting what I wanted.

"George is a young coach who is unanimously loved by Burnley fans, and these fans are unanimous in their belief in George. What kind of magic does George possess that makes these fans believe in George so much? "The reporter blushed." George has brought Burnley the League Two title, the League One title, the League Cup title so far, and it only took three years to bring Burnley to the Premier League. I think that's why George is so trusted at Burnley. ”

…………

Because George hasn't bought a car yet, and the city of Burnley is too small to need a car. George lives in a house very close to the club, so George usually walks to the club. Unless it's raining, you will take a taxi.

George saw quite a few people along the way, some of whom he knew and some of whom he didn't. But after seeing George, they all greeted George warmly. George either nodded or waved.

There will even be some fans who will pull George and say something encouraging. Of course, there are also familiar fans like Burns, who will talk to George loudly.

"George, we want to be champions. No champion, don't drink with me anymore. ”

George didn't say much when he met them, patted his chest, and then gave a thumbs up.

As soon as they saw George's action, they all did the same, and then laughed and left.
