❌ Burnley disappoints in the first step at Premier League
The clarets, owners of the defensive record of the history of the second division, promoted a completely acting of what was expected in their goal. In 2024/25, there were only 16 goals conceded in 46 games; before in the debut, the team suffered almost 25% of all last season: entitled to the foldle and I try Richarlison’s volley.
System pillars set up by coach Scott Parker, goalkeeper James Trafford and defender Egan-Riley moved home, transferring to and Olympique de Marseille, respectively. On the other hand, the club was reinforced with the arrival of the experienced Kyle Walker, who came from City. Of the defensive line of the Championship title game, only Maxime Estève acted against Spurs.
-Burnley had the same 100 points as Leeds last season, but playing the anti-leeds, or the opposite of what we imagine a team doing 100 points in the second division. The guys obliterate the Championship defensive record, took 16 goals – the previous record was 31. It’s a super defense, a super defensive system of Scott Parker, which was nicknamed “Boring Burnley”, so it has that more boring, more conservative game model. It’s a team that talks to that idea of “isn’t it better to go up and be offensive?”, And we’ll see it tested in practice – analyzed Gabriel Penteado, from “Not Soccer” channel, in an interview with .

Regis Le Bris, the club’s commander, lost one of his main pieces: Jobe Bellingham (brother of the star Jude Bellingham, from ), which was sold to the for about R $ 200 million. However, in a heavy window, the board hit major arrivals such as Adingra (Brighton), Le Fée (Rome), Mukiele (PSG), Diarra (Strasbourg) and Granit Xhaka, a crucial piece of Xabi Alonso at Borussia Dortmund. The investment even surpassed the house of $ 1 billion.
– Sunderland is what makes the most aggressive window of the three. Regis Le Bris is a guy who has a more intense game model, and makes important signings, but they had a good, intense start of season, playing that way, and then migrated to a very conservative model because the gas is over. I am curious to see which version of Sunderland will come, but no doubt they have more human feature than Burnley – said Gabriel.
