When you're focused on one thing, time passes very quickly. From the end of the league on May 3, ten days have passed in a blink of an eye.

Burnley has been training intensely for the past ten days, and George has no other care at this time. Except for opening for twenty or thirty minutes every day, the training ground is completely closed at other times. It is commonly known as closed training, which has attracted many reporters to slander them.

But now George doesn't have the energy to care about those things, and all of George's energy in the past ten days has been focused on how to deal with Arsenal. Of course, by the end, George also began to appear in front of the media.

'Everybody says our football at Burnley is not good-looking, it's a counter-attack. Victory is ugly. "George spoke eloquently to reporters." In fact, Arsenal's game was also a typical defensive counterattack, they just relied on the speed of Overmars and Parlour to counterattack. But it's strange to me that there is so much praise for Arsenal's Premier League title. ”

Arsenal's style of play is very simple, and there is no such smooth style of play as it did later. After Arsene Wenger entered Arsenal, he first brought the tenacious fighting spirit and team spirit characteristic of the bulky English defender to the extreme, and he continued to use the "five veterans" in the back line to take turns in guarding. Seaman was in goal, Winter was on the left, Dixon was on the right, Keown and Adams were the main centre-backs, and Boulder was the main substitute.

It's a well-coordinated defensive line, and in the two years since Arsene Wenger took charge of Arsenal, it's the midfielders who have changed. There are no changes to the backline, they are the same players who have won the League One title with Graham. It is one of the few defensive combinations in the Premier League.

Arsene Wenger has a lot of trust in this backline, and his style of play is also a quick counter-attack on the basis of ensuring defence. The midfield is the most powerful position Wenger has been transformed, and for the sake of safety, Wenger has formed a two-man midfield line-up with Vieira and Petit, while Ovemas is on the left and Parlour on the right. It was a conservative opportunistic midfield, but the team's counter-attacking play was unusually fluid and resolute.

Arsenal's counter-attacks were much better than Burnley's, and their counter-attacks were mostly left-leaning. Now Overmars is in the prime of form, and Bergkamp in front of him is even more superb.

That's why George is saying the same counter-attack, why Burnley are being blamed and Arsenal are being praised.

Seeing that before the heavyweight match, one side provoked a war of words. All the media were excited, George, the young coach, turned out to be a lack of roots in his head and dared to say anything. In the three years since his debut, I don't know how many things I have sprayed.

But Arsene Wenger is different, after Wenger came to England, he was personable and wore suits and leather shoes when he played. If George is a complete hillbilly by comparison, Arsene Wenger is like a knowledgeable professor.

Everyone wants to hear how Arsene Wenger, the manager who has just won the Premier League, responds to George.

As one might remember, Wenger only smiled at George's words. Interviewed in a very relaxed tone. "I don't think Coach Levy needs to complain. There are all kinds of ways to play in world football, and there is no good or bad. But just as everyone's taste is different, some people like this style of play, and some people like that way of playing. Maybe the fans thought our counter-attack was more beautiful than Burnley's. ”

Arsene Wenger didn't take George's words seriously at all. With a soft word, he answered George.

Of course, although Wenger didn't take it seriously, George didn't think it would be over. That night, George said it again.

'Did Arsenal score more goals than us in the league or have more shots on goal than us. Even in the FA Cup, we were the team with the most goals. "George is constantly provoking Arsenal, it's not that George is idle.

Although Arsenal is not as mature as it was later, it is still a very strong team for Burnley. It was tougher than against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup, when Chelsea had just changed manager and were very dismissive because Burnley were a League One side. This is all good news, and it is this dismissive moment that Burnley has taken advantage of to give Chelsea a blow in the face.

But with Burnley's win over Chelsea to claim the Carabao Cup, no team will take Burnley as lightly as they do. So once Arsenal are cautious, George is really not sure that they can beat Arsenal in a positional battle. And with Arsenal's current defensive strength, Burnley will be difficult to break.

George can only hope that Arsenal will come out of the game, although Arsenal's backline is strong defensively. But they're all getting older, and they're definitely at a disadvantage against the likes of Ljungberg, Camoranesi and Robbie Keane. That's Burnley's chance.

Anyway, now that the World Cup is still some time away, all the media are happy.

A lot of the media began to identify what George said. As George said, Burnley is the number one in League One not only in terms of home attack power, but also in away attack power. And in both the League Cup and the FA Cup, Burnley hold a record. In both cup competitions, Burnley's goals were the top of the list.

After such an analysis, they found that although George's Burnley played defensive counterattacks in the cup competition, they scored a lot of goals.

"Lots of goals?" Wenger smiled slightly, facing the camera and speaking slowly. 'A lot of goals can only show that Burnley's opponents are too weak.'

Arsene Wenger didn't say much, just a few simple words. George's words were like hitting cotton, but George didn't care. George had long known that Wenger was erudite and unhurried when answering provocations.

In his previous life, George was very fond of Arsene Wenger. In 2002, when Arsene Wenger and Alex Ferguson had the most fierce battle, there was such a war of words between them. At the time of the Arsenal double in '02, Ferguson saw that it was difficult to catch up with the points. Just said, "They're just a bunch of ** who win by luck, we're the best team." ”。

And Arsene Wenger replied quite beautifully. "Every man thinks his wife is the most beautiful."

This is a very classic between Ferguson and Arsene Wenger, two pairs of rivals who cherish each other.

What George says about Arsenal now is not about Arsene Wenger. I want the Arsenal players to hear that there are a lot of grumpy people in the Arsenal squad. As long as one of them is in a bad mood and shows it in the game, then George earns it.

In recent times, the media has been really happy. Although because the World Cup is about to start, the topic of the World Cup has gradually become the most important aspect of the media. All the media eyes are gradually shifting from the club to the national team.

But the war of words provoked by George can be on the front page of the newspaper as much as the World Cup feature.

Of course, it is still George who takes advantage of Arsenal, even if Burnley and George are now more influential. That's not as good as Arsene Wenger and Arsenal, George likes opponents like Arsenal. If we were against the opponents in today's FA Cup final, we would not have been able to pay such attention.

Time passed slowly in a war of words, and soon it was May 16th.
