Chapter 106 Returning to Wembley (Part 2)

When the Burnley bus arrived at Wembley Stadium, the Burnley fans who were waiting for the team there immediately surrounded them. Although there were not many people, there were thousands of them. When they saw the Burnley team bus, they rushed over in an instant.

Among them, some were waiting for the Burnley team, and some were fans who did not buy tickets.

As soon as the bus door opened, George was the first to walk down. Seeing George, the Burnley fans burst into thunderous cheers.

"George! George! We want the championship! We want the championship!"

"George, give us another championship!"

George just came out and encountered such a huge formation. So he raised his hand to let the fans quiet down. Sure enough, when George raised his hand, all the fans were silent.

"Believe me, I definitely didn't go to Wembley to get the runner-up. I promise, I promise you that the championship is ours."

George patted his chest and shouted to the Burnley fans regardless of the many reporters next to him.

"Oh oh oh!!!"

"George! George! George!"

"Champion! Champion! Champion!"

George's words immediately ignited the enthusiasm of Burnley fans. When the media interviewed George, George never had any attitude towards the FA Cup final. At most, he would have a war of words with Arsenal.

Unexpectedly, a few hours before the game, in front of the Wembley Stadium, George openly shouted the championship slogan.

Even Arsenal, led by Wenger, was confident of winning the championship before the game, but did not say so nakedly "The championship is ours."

The reporters who were preparing to interview the Burnley team were stunned. Although they knew that George was a big mouth and dared to say anything before. But they did not expect that this young coach was even bigger than the rumors.

After speaking, George was the first to get off the bus. Following George was Mitchell. As the captain, Mitchell's appeal and prestige among Burnley fans were only weaker than George. Although now speaking, Ballack, Ljungberg and Robbie Keane are all fans' favorites in the Burnley team.

Offensive players are always more popular than defensive players. Even Daniel, who is a local player, is not necessarily more popular than them. But Mitchell is completely different.

Mitchell has been in Burnley for more than 20 years and has been playing for Burnley since he was in his teens. He became the captain of Burnley at a very young age. Other old players of the same period have either transferred to other teams, retired or sat on the bench. Only Mitchell is still in Burnley's main lineup as the captain.

Therefore, Mitchell's appeal is absolutely unique among Burnley players, so the fans cheered constantly when they saw Mitchell coming out. Following Mitchell was Daniel, a rising star trained by Burnley itself, and Ballack, Ljungberg and others followed.

Seeing these players, the fans cheered one after another. But they consciously made way for the team to pass.

"Arsene, this young coach is very interesting." The white-haired Pas Wright smiled and talked to Wenger. When the Burnley team arrived just now, the Arsenal bus also arrived at Wembley Stadium.

Unlike the country bumpkins from small villages like Burnley, Arsenal is playing half of the game at home. And Arsenal fans may be like Wenger, all modest gentlemen. It is impossible to behave as fanatically as Burnley fans, and Wenger will not make a naked championship declaration like George.

So many Arsenal players complained that the fans at Highbury Stadium were not enthusiastic enough and the atmosphere at Highbury Stadium was too bad. Arsenal fans were too quiet.

When Wenger got off the car, he did not pat his chest to make a promise like George, but simply shook his hand. Only this action has reassured Arsenal fans. They can't shout "We want the championship!" like Burnley fans, and they are already very relieved to see Wenger.

Wenger nodded as he walked. Speaking of which, Wenger and George really don't know each other, but Wenger has long been familiar with George's name. As the head coach of a League One club, George can frequently appear in the sports pages of major newspapers, and it is hard not to be remembered.

"Young people are bound to be like this. They are strong, but they lack experience. Their future achievements are limitless." Although George is outspoken, Wenger still appreciates him.

Strictly speaking, Wenger is relatively young in this age group. He is not yet fifty years old and will be forty-nine in October. In the coaching industry, he is still a young coach, but he has already led Arsenal to win the Premier League. But compared with George, he seems old.

"Young people are too arrogant, which is not necessarily a good thing." Pas Wright doesn't like young people like George who are outspoken. Pas Wright prefers Italian coaches who focus on tactics and gentlemen like Wenger. They put more experience on the court, unlike George who seems to put more energy on bickering outside the court.

Wenger didn't say anything, just smiled.

…………

This FA Cup final is also the same as the League Cup final. Burnley fans are at an absolute disadvantage. There are a lot of Arsenal fans today, but there are only a little over 20,000 Burnley fans. It’s a lot less than the 30,000 people at the League Cup final.

And unlike the League Cup final, today's Wembley Stadium is a sea of ​​red. Whether it is Burnley or Arsenal, their traditional colors are red, and the fans are wearing red uniforms.

Of course, Arsenal players may be a little unhappy today, because in the pre-match draw, Burnley drew the home draw. Burnley can wear its traditional red jerseys, while Arsenal can only choose the yellow jerseys of the visiting team.

Now there are less than two hours left before the game, and the players of both teams have come to the field to adapt to the venue and warm up.

With one hour left in the game, the fans of both teams have already filled the entire Wembley Stadium. Before the game started, the fans of both teams began to cheer for their own teams. A small number of people does not mean weak momentum. Although there are only more than 20,000 Burnley fans, the shouts and cheers are not inferior at all.

"This is the FA Cup final of the 97-98 season, and we are broadcasting it live at Wembley Stadium. There is still half an hour before the game starts, and we look forward to a wonderful final."

(This is the fourth update today, and this is my limit. I hope that no one will ever give me 12,000 update tickets again. It is difficult for me to do that. 6,000 is fine, 9,000 is fine. 12,000...)
