There is a dream called football

Chapter 297 A New Stadium
The Emirates Stadium, because it signed a sponsorship of [-] million pounds with Emirates, was named the Emirates Stadium.

The stadium started construction in 2003 and is expected to be put into use in July 2006. This stadium carries Arsenal's new century's expectations, and it is also the most important decision after Wenger took office.

Now only the laying and decoration of the lawn is left on this stadium. In the middle of this week, Wenger decided to lead all the players to the Emirates Stadium.

The new stadium can have more than 6 seats, and the maximum can be added to 7. It can be described as a very modern stadium.

Wenger is full of ambition. He hopes that this place can become the mecca of English football like Wembley.

From a distance, looking out from the bus, the end of the line of sight is the Emirates Stadium, which is indeed very big, at least much bigger than Highbury.

"Wow, it's so beautiful." Van Persie laughed.

Wenger chuckled, "You will be able to play in it next season."

"Really? Then I can't transfer."

"Hahaha."

However, as a traveler, Li Qiao knew what happened later. After the Emirates Stadium began to operate, Arsenal's performance entered a watershed. Before that, Arsenal was the king of Europe, and since then...

Selling one captain a year has become the norm, and because Arsenal can't afford big-name players because they have no money, their results in the Premier League are mediocre, and they have become a miracle in the top four every year.

However, Li Qiao doesn't understand these business matters. He only knows that Arsenal can't breathe under the pressure of the loan to build the Emirates Stadium, but it's not clear why.

But those seem to have nothing to do with Li Qiao, Li Qiao does not have a strong Arsenal plot, so there is no need to share the joys and sorrows with Arsenal, maybe after Henry, Bergkamp and the others leave, Li Qiao will also leave Arsenal.

The bus drove directly into the underground car park of the Emirates Stadium. The players got out of the car. Wenger was the most excited. He always wanted to have a stadium. Now that he has one, he is very excited.

"Haha, let me be your tour guide."

"Wow, such a famous tour guide."

The players followed Wenger.

"This is the disabled access. The Emirates Stadium is a barrier-free stadium. Look at this side, and there is a direct access to the fan shop."

"Head, where's the locker room?"

"Don't worry, the locker room is of course the most important thing, but I won't take you there, it's still under renovation."

"Formaldehyde exceeds the standard."

"Ha ha."

"Let's go, today's highlight, let's go and see the stadium."

A group of people came to the side of the court. At this time, the lawn is still sandy and the lawn has not been laid. The lawn must be the last on a court, because the lawn is the most delicate, and the lawn can only be laid after the stadium is completely renovated.

Standing on the side of the court, you have a very wide view. This feeling is completely different from Highbury. You will feel cramped at Highbury. It is most obvious when watching the Premier League broadcast. Highbury Stadium feels like a small box.

Wenger crossed his arms and stood on the sidelines, simulating what he might encounter in half a year. He would stand here and direct his Arsenal.

"Arthur, this place is really much bigger than Highbury."

Wenger nodded, "It took us 10 years, starting from the initial design and approval, a full 10 years, and we have our own stadium."

In London, land is very expensive, and approval is very troublesome. Later, Tottenham rebuilt the stadium based on the expansion of White Hart Lane. There was no new place, so they could only rent Wembley Stadium for use.

"Let's go, let's take a look at our honor showroom. It was decorated first, and it's what I asked for."

When he saw the honor showroom, Li Qiao was emotional, because the design here is so big, Wenger originally thought that the championship might not be let go in the future, but he didn't expect that from then on, Arsenal could only compete for the top four in the Premier League.

In the 97/98 season, Wenger led Arsenal to win the Premier League and FA Cup double championships. This was also the first Premier League title won by Arsenal under Wenger. He was named the Premier League Coach of the Year that year.

"This is the first championship I have led Arsenal to. Those people have all retired. At that time, Adams was still on the defensive line."

In the 01/02 season, Arsenal won the Premier League and FA Cup double crown again. Seeing this, Wenger is complacent.

"You see, it didn't take long for us to conquer the Premier League again. It seems that we are only one Champions League away."

"What's the matter, the Champions League, we can conquer it this season." Someone echoed.

Wenger is also very happy. He doesn't seem to feel that Arsenal are far from the Champions League because he has the best players in Europe.

"Have you noticed that in the past two years, whatever team Li Qiao joined, that team won the Champions League."

"It seems to be true."

Li Qiaohan regards himself as auspicious, like an auspicious beast.

"I was lucky and happened to join the championship team."

Li Qiao can't always say that I actually traveled through time and know what happened later.

"Then I hope you're lucky this time."

"Ha ha."

Wenger continued.

In the 03/04 season, Arsenal won the Premier League championship with an unbeaten record. That is the famous 49 unbeaten games later, which can be regarded as a legend of the Premier League.

But who would have thought that this turned out to be Wenger's last important championship at Arsenal.

Among the people present, only Li Qiao knew this, and it was impossible for others to know. So far, the space of the showroom has occupied about one-tenth, but in fact, in the next 10 years, this will come to an end.

"Li Qiao, why do you think you are unhappy?" Van Persie asked.

Li Qiao pointed to the end of the showroom, "How long do you think this place will be used up?"

Van Persie scratched his head, "Maybe 20 years."

"Ha ha."

Wenger patted the place behind the last Premier League trophy, "I hope there will be a Champions League trophy here at the end of this season."

Everyone also understands that the professor's focus this season has shifted to the Champions League. The Emirates Stadium will be unveiled in July. Of course, it is hoped that there will be a Champions League trophy as a gift. That would be wonderful.

When we went back, we took a group photo outside the Emirates Stadium. This will be used by the staff of Arsenal’s official website, and all the materials for this promotion will also be posted on the official website.

When I went back, the gloomy London suddenly shone into the sun, and the Emirates Stadium was beautiful under the golden sunlight. Li Qiao didn’t know if he could bring Arsenal a Champions League championship. If he could really be auspicious in this world, then Li Qiao would.

"If I can bring Arsenal a Champions League then I'd love to."

Wenger patted the players.

"Come on, boys."
