Chapter 116 Great Joy and Great Sorrow (Please Collect)

"Beep beep--" As people expected, Arsenal had just kicked off when the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

"Congratulations to Burnley, congratulations to Coach Levy!" Martin Taylor's voice was broadcast by Sky TV and heard by all English fans. "This is the second team in English football to win two cup championships in the same season. The first to win this honor was Arsenal during Graham's time, and Burnley became the second. Coach Levy led a League One team to achieve such a result. Congratulations to Coach Levy!"

The League Cup has been around for nearly 40 years since its birth in 1961. Not to mention the FA Cup, as the oldest event, it has a history of hundreds of years. But so far, the only team that has won both cups in the same season is Arsenal in the 1992-1993 season.

Now Burnley, a team in the second-tier English league, has once again accomplished this feat.

"Yes, this season is the most perfect season for Burnley. If you really want to talk about it, Burnley is the triple crown this season, the English League One champion, the League Cup champion, and the FA Cup champion. It's not simple, not simple!"

"Coach Levy, young coach Levy, he has created Burnley history! The young coach Levy will definitely become the greatest coach in Burnley's history."

"Martin, I don't agree with what you said. George is no longer a young coach, but a famous coach in English football. Who can lead a second-tier league team like Burnley to win the League Cup and the FA Cup. And with these two championships and leading the team to the Premier League, George is already the greatest coach in Burnley's history." Andy Gray laughed and refuted Martin Taylor.

"Yes, yes, yes, I was wrong. Coach Levy is the most outstanding local coach in English football in recent years, and he is already a famous coach. Haha..."

And George, who Martin Taylor and Andy Gray were praising, was already silly on the court. He only knew to celebrate with the people next to him, and didn't know what to do.

"George, Coach Wenger is here." Carl Part pushed George.

When George came to his senses, he found that Wenger, who had just gone to comfort his players, came over. "Coach Levy, congratulations." George has seen many coaches, but there are not many coaches as elegant as Wenger. Even if the game is lost, it is rare to be able to come and celebrate the opponent in such a graceful manner.

Anyway, George can't do it. George thinks he is not a gentleman. He can't do that, but he admires such people.

"Thank you, Coach Wenger." So George also answered with a smile.

Wenger was not in a good mood either. It was already very well-educated to come and say hello to George. So after just a simple handshake, Wenger left the court. Although he had just comforted his players, Wenger still needed to continue to comfort them.

Before the game, the London media were analyzing that the FA Cup champion was most likely to be Arsenal. After Chelsea lost to Burnley in the League Cup final, the London media was very embarrassed. Therefore, it was the London media that made the most noise before the game, saying that Arsenal had set their sights on Ljungberg.

Like the media analysis, Arsenal players also thought so. Now that they lost the game, it was a huge blow to them.

"Evan, did you see that?" George patted Evan's shoulder next to him. "This is self-cultivation. Don't learn from me when you become a coach in the future. You should have the same demeanor as coach Wenger." George shook his head as he looked at Wenger's back.

"Forget it, George." Evan's face was full of smiles. "I've been deeply poisoned by you and can't learn that kind of demeanor anymore."

"Yeah, demeanor? I don't need any demeanor, I just want victory." George suddenly remembered that he had just won the FA Cup.

At this moment, Burnley fans began to cheer rhythmically in the stadium. They first called out the names of the players, and at the end they started to call out George's name.

"George! George! You brought us the championship! You are our hero!" The huge Wembley Stadium is now half empty. After Ballack's lore, those Arsenal fans left Wembley Stadium very sadly.

Originally, there were more than 60,000 Arsenal fans in Wembley Stadium, and most of them left in a short time. So now Wembley Stadium is empty, and more than 20,000 Burnley fans are so small in Wembley Stadium.

But their cheers are exactly the same, and the thunderous cheers filled Wembley Stadium.

George heard the cheers of the fans and suddenly made a very standard gentleman's salute. Then he clenched his fist and waved at the Burnley fans. George's action immediately attracted screams and applause from Burnley fans.

After George thanked the fans, he went to see the Burnley players. Now the Burnley players are already silly with joy. They are running, hugging, and shouting on the field. This season, after a year of hard work, they have achieved the most fruitful results.

League Cup and FA Cup, these are honors that many players from Premier League teams have never won. Their careers have just begun, and they have won these two championships with Burnley.

"Frederick, how about it? It's not wrong to follow me." George saw an excited look on Yongberg's defiant face. So he patted Yongberg on the shoulder.

No matter how Arsenal pursues Ljungberg, George has made up his mind to keep Ljungberg no matter what the cost. In the future, Ljungberg will be a sharp knife for Burnley in the Premier League.

"Boss, didn't you say that we still want to compete in the European League? I want the championship!" Ljungberg was indeed excited, with a rare expression.

"Frederick, we will win the European Cup Winners' Cup next season. Let the boys in Europe know that we, Burnley, are also there."

George stretched out his hand, and Ljungberg clapped his hands in tacit agreement.

The smiling George caught a glimpse of Barak out of the corner of his eye and found that there was a hint of disappointment in Barak's excitement. George discovered Ballack's mood very early. Ballack's mood has been wrong for nearly a month. It's just that Ballack never delayed his state on the court, so George didn't ask him.

"Michael, such a good day should be celebrated." George has an unusual feeling for Ballack, which is different from Ljungberg.

Ballack was personally introduced by George from the German amateur league, and after arriving at Burnley, George regarded him as the core midfielder for the next ten years. During training, he was scolded the most by George. He was even appointed as Burnley's third captain by George.

"I want to thank you, Michael." Ballack is not only the core of Burnley's midfield, but also able to turn the tide at every critical moment. In the League Cup final, a ground-breaking long-range shot sealed the victory. And in the FA Cup final, he scored a decisive goal, helping Burnley win the championship.

Barak looked straight at George, and finally shook his head. "Boss, I gave this ball to you. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am now." Ballack, who has always been steady, was a little emotional at this time.

"No, Michael. This is all because of your strength and hard work." George does not dare to take credit for himself. Even without George Ballack, he will become a world-class midfielder. Although the current Ballack is much better than the historical Ballack, George still believes that this is all Ballack's talent and hard work, and he only has a little credit.

"Boss, listen to me first." Barak suddenly grabbed George. "Boss, if possible, I would like to follow you to conquer Europe."

As George listened to Barak's words, he felt more and more troubled.

"Boss, the club informed me that we can negotiate with Leverkusen. And I have already signed." Ballack's words gave George a huge impact. George looked at Barak blankly: "What did you say?"

Looking at George's expression, Ballack knew that this incident had dealt a big blow to George.

"Boss, in fact, the club informed me as early as a month ago. They have accepted Leverkusen's offer and said I can talk to them. I'm sorry, boss."

Every word of Ballack hit George's heart hard, and he had accepted the offer a month ago. They had been satisfied for so long. If Barak hadn't told him, he would have been completely kept in the dark. George and Kilby are set to sign a new three-year contract during the day tomorrow.

I'm such a fool. I didn't even know that the club was negotiating with Leverkusen on such a big matter.

As he was thinking about it, George suddenly felt a little difficult to breathe and his heartbeat was getting faster and faster.

"Tou, Tou, what's wrong with you?" Barak was startled and looked at George nervously.

George remembered the words of his attending doctor, saying that his car accident was likely to have sequelae. So I slowly breathed a sigh of relief and allowed myself to relax. "I'm fine."

"Sorry, head."

"It's none of your business."
