Chapter 107 Coming to Wembley Again
"My friends in front of the TV, this is Wembley Stadium. Everyone is watching the FA Cup final in 98, Arsenal vs. Burnley. One of these two clubs is the Premier League champion and the other is the League One champion. .”

"We have already got the starting lineup. For Arsenal, Seaman is in goal, Winterburn is on the left, Dixon is on the right, and Keown and Adams are the main central defenders. Overmars on the left and Overmars on the right. The road is Parlor, the two midfielders are Vieira and Petit. The forward line is a combination of Bergkamp and Ian Wright. Coach Wenger has not made any changes to the main lineup."

"Look at Burnley's line-up. Jas Kleinen in goal, Daniel on the left, Finnan on the right, Mitchell and Gary Breen at the back. Freddie Ljungberg on the left. , Camoranesi on the right, and three defensive midfielders Ballack, Neil Lennon, and Matthew Holland in the center. The forward line is Robbie Keane."

"Andy, what do you think of this starting lineup?" The commentator, who was talking with a smile, was tall, with white hair, a neat suit, and a peaceful smile.

If this person just looks like an ordinary old man with white hair and no difference from the side, he is famous in English football, even in European football and world football.This person is the top football commentator in the UK, and the best football commentator in Europe and the world.His voice is known as the best sports commentary in the world.If there are world superstars on the football field, and there are world-class big-name coaches among the coaches, then this person is the star among the world's sports commentators and the idol of most sports commentators.

This person is the best football commentator in England, Martin Taylor.The broadcast of the FA Cup was bought out by Sky TV, so the FA Cup final had a pair of golden partners Martin Taylor and Andy Gray commentate on Sky TV.

Andy Gray is one of the famous commentators on British Sky TV. His commentary combination with Martin Taylor is known as the world's best football match commentary partner.Gray was also an outstanding football player when he was young. He played for Dundee United, Aston Villa and other teams, and won the 1982 Champions League with Villa, and was also selected for the Scottish national team.It is precisely because of his excellent professional football commentary ability that it is perfect to cooperate with Martin Taylor.Obviously, his influence as a football commentator in the media is far greater than his appeal on the field.

"I think Coach Levy's idea is to defend. After all, Burnley's defense is famous. And Coach Levy is also very smooth in defensive counterattacks. In fact, Arsenal and Burnley have many similarities. Local." Andy Gray commented on the two teams from a professional perspective.

"What's the same? It's not all defensive counterattacks."

"Martin, you're right. The two teams' style of play is actually the same as what Coach Levy said in the newspaper. They are both defensive counterattacks. Not only are they both defensive counterattacks, but the counterattack ideas are not much different. Pass the ball Fast, the speed of the two wings is extremely fast, and an attack can be completed with just a few kicks. However, Arsenal's counterattack is quite beautiful because of Overmars and Bergkamp. Burnley's counterattack is more about speed And efficiency, so people say Arsenal play beautifully and Burnley play ugly."

The two didn't know that the current Arsenal was because Wenger had just moved in.In a few years, Arsenal will become one of the most beautiful teams in England and the world. They are even called not shooting goals, but passing goals.At that time, Arsenal played elegantly, and it was no longer an alternative defensive counterattack at this time.

"Hearing what you said, the defensive counterattacks of the two teams are really similar. No wonder Coach Wenger said that the Burnley player he admires most is Ljungberg."

"Ljungberg is indeed very suitable for Arsenal's style of play. As long as he comes to Arsenal, he doesn't need to adapt. But I believe that Burnley will not let this sharp winger go easily."

In addition to the war of words between George and Wenger before the game, the most reported by the media was that Arsenal took a fancy to Ljungberg.They have already made an offer, hoping to take away Burnley's most capable winger next season.They have noses and eyes.

Of course, the main reason is because the reporter asked Wenger which Burnley player he admired most.Wenger replied that Burnley's most dangerous player was Ljungberg.When this sentence was understood by the media, it became that Arsenal fell in love with Ljungberg.

Although many media reposted this news, more of them believed that it was an approach by Arsenal to disturb the morale of Burnley before the game.Burnley, from George to the rest of the club, including Ljungberg himself, strongly denied this rumor.

Only George, although he vehemently denied it.It is said that this is Arsenal's trick, and they despise Arsenal's practice in front of the media.But in the bottom of my heart, I knew that this was not fake.It appears Ljungberg's performances at Burnley have caught Wenger's attention.

If Wenger wants Ljungberg, it will not be easy for Burnley to keep Ljungberg.Going to Arsenal not only means a substantial increase in salary, but also a new big stage.Arsenal can give Ljungberg a big stage, but Burnley currently has no way to give him.

And Ljungberg is full of personality. Even if Burnley can finally keep Ljungberg, he will have to make a lot of concessions in salary.

George didn't say much about his pre-game deployment.In the final of the League Cup and the League Cup, because of the intensive schedule, there was no time to prepare well.But this time preparing for the FA Cup final, George spent nearly half a month preparing.

So after simply cheering up, it was nothing like the League Cup final.

When George came out, Wenger was already standing in the aisle.Seeing George coming out, he walked over with a smile, and then stretched out his hand.

"Coach Levy, I see you are full of confidence." Wenger looked very young at this time, with black hair, a straight suit, and a height of 1.9 meters, he looked so handsome.Nor does the voice have the thick Scottish accent that Ferguson has.It seems that Wenger, who can speak five languages, is indeed true.

"Coach Wenger, losing without a match is not what a coach should do." George also replied with a smile.

"It's enviable to see you Burnley players."

"Coach Wenger, don't call their attention. They will not leave Burnley." Now Wenger is famous, but not as loud as later.Afterwards, no one knew Wenger Bole's name.

When Wenger was struggling to build a new stadium for Arsenal, he just relied on a bunch of kids to make Arsenal enter the Champions League every year.Arsenal lost blood every year after arriving, but Wenger's Arsenal is still a strong team that cannot be ignored in the Premier League and even European football.Wenger's Bole name is well-known in world football.

Now Burnley has a lot of young players, and their potential will definitely be seen by Wenger.George can't let Wenger dig corners, and George still wants to leave them to create a new history of Burnley.

"Coach Levy, this is not the past." Wenger smiled slightly.

George secretly scolded Wenger, you old fox.Of course, it is no better than before. Since the promulgation of the damn Bosman Act, small clubs have almost no resistance to giants.

"Then Coach Wenger, we will wait and see."

After speaking, George turned and returned to his seat.

Wenger, Wenger, I liked you so much in my previous life, and I liked watching your Arsenal play.But from now on, we are opponents, and everything in the previous life will disappear in smoke.If you want to conquer English football in the future, people like Ferguson and Wenger are your enemies.
