Chapter 105 The Power of Love
Arsenal are directly shortlisted as the league champions, but Manchester United, ranked second, has to participate in a qualifier.

Although the opponent is not strong, after two games, Manchester United only qualified for the promotion by one goal.

按照目前欧冠的规则，24支队伍分成A-F，一共6个小组进行小组循环赛。6个小组头名直接晋级8强，6个小组的No.2积分比较，最高的前两名获得剩下的2个8强资格。

Therefore, although Arsenal has not entered the Champions League for a long time, Shao Bo also wants to take the top spot in the group.

If you get No.2, if Arsenal ranks third in points, wouldn't it be meaningless?No matter how strong the opponent is, at least the goal must be set first in the group.

After a long drawing ceremony, Shao Bo finally knew who their opponents were.

Juventus, Feyenoord, and Kosice, who can't even remember his name, including their Arsenal, these four teams are fighting in Group B.

Juventus is naturally not weak. Seeing that he was in the same group as Juventus, Shao Bo thought: it seems not bad to be the No.2 with the highest points?
Now is the heyday of Serie A. According to the historical trajectory, Juventus has also reached the final.And in terms of statistics, Juventus is even higher than Real Madrid, but in the end it is still one step away from the championship.

But their strength should not be underestimated, and Shao Bo didn't expect to get some points from Juventus, so Arsenal's focus was on Feyenoord.

Although the promulgation of the Bosman Act in 95, the strength of the Eredivisie teams generally declined sharply.But Arsenal are only recruits in the European war, and the experience in the battle is not as rich as Feyenoord.

If he can get all 6 points from it, Shao Bo is confident that he will break into the top 2 with No.8 with the highest points.

Well, he is still not confident that he can take advantage of Juventus.As for the Kosce whose name he didn't even know well, Shao Bo didn't know what to care about it.

Manchester United is also a British team after all, so Shao Bo has no reason not to pay attention to it.

It's just that after seeing Manchester United's signing luck, Shao Bo can only praise his signing luck.

Like Arsenal, Manchester United's Group C also has a team from the Eredivisie, Eindhoven.The strength is similar, so there is nothing to say.But Kipdynamo and Barcelona from Ukraine.

Barcelona, ​​which has just been disbanded by the dream team, is in their trough. Van Gaal just took over this year, and he has not had time to train the team. This has allowed Manchester United to take advantage of it.

However, Shao Bo underestimated Kipdynamo. As a veteran Eastern European giant, Kipdynamo has won the domestic league championship within five years.

Moreover, they have participated in the Champions League all the year round, and they often cause a lot of trouble to other teams.Shao Bo underestimated Kipdynamo just because he paid too little attention to Eastern Europe.

And Barcelona won a Copa del Rey last season anyway, and now they will only be stronger.Overall, Manchester United's signing luck is actually not as good as Arsenal.Because of these four teams, in general, any one of them is likely to win the top spot in the group.

After the lottery was drawn, Shao Bo was ready to leave.Those who can stay here are all the masters and bosses in the football world. Although Shao Bo has won a UEFA Cup and a Premier League championship, he is also qualified to talk to them.

But Shao Bo is only in his early twenties, so he doesn't have much to talk to these old men with an average age of [-] or [-].Speaking of it, it's all a generation gap.

As for the two-day European Super Cup, since Dortmund and Barcelona are facing each other, there is no possibility of meeting Arsenal in the near future.Shao Bo didn't bother wasting time here and went back home.

……

Monday, September 1997, 9, at 1pm local time in London.The Premier League finally announced the closure of the summer transfer window.

Many clubs took advantage of the last day of the transfer window to try to recruit players, and many players lowered their requirements at this time.It's just that all of this has nothing to do with Arsenal.

This is precisely because the club's head coach Shao Bo announced in early July that Arsenal's transfer work this summer had ended ahead of schedule.

While many clubs are still vacillating in the transfer market with many players, Arsenal has been silently running in for two months.This not only allows all new players to familiarize themselves with the team's style of play in advance, but also saves the club a lot of time and energy.

Of course, the first one is more important.This is why Arsenal were able to achieve four wins and one draw in the first month of the competition.

It's just that Manchester United, which has won five consecutive victories, is a bit too against the sky. Although the "king" of Manchester United is gone, this has not affected their morale at all.

Andy Cole, who sprained his ankle due to bad luck last season, took a long break to recover from his injury.He wasn't even included in the squad against Arsenal.

But this season, he has become the top scorer with 5 goals in 4 games.However, Arsenal should have regretted letting go of such an excellent shooter long ago. They only sold it for a low price of 50 pounds.

You know, Andy Cole joined Arsenal as early as 1988.At that time, Ian Wright was still playing for Crystal Palace.And that was the year Tony Adams wore the Arsenal captain's armband, which he still has today.

Because of the rotation and getting older, Ian Wright, who played 3 times, only scored [-] goal.Currently Arsenal's top scorer has become Bergkamp, ​​but he has only scored twice.

However, this is also a means for Arsenal to bloom more at present.Every player in the frontcourt can score goals. In this case, where should the opponent focus on defense?
The essence of football is the competition of 22 people for time and space, and the core of modern football reform is the transition of offense and defense.Only by more actively grasping the competition for time and space on the field, the game will be brought into your control.

This requires the pace of the game to be faster and faster.After the offensive and defensive tempo speeds up, the slow team will be out of touch, and there will be more space.Attacks are easy to block and even easier to counter.On the contrary, a fast team can handle it with ease, both offensively and defensively.

Arsenal's current tactical requirements are like this. Arsenal, who often play defensive counterattacks, take the path of quick offense and quick return to defense.

That's why Arsenal don't need a traditional standing center like Heskey at the moment.Whether it's Anelka or the aging Ian Wright, they are all extremely fast and comprehensive players.

Both belong to the kind of players who can hold the ball, play the ball, and have the ability to fight alone.Anelka, by contrast, is just inexperienced.It's just doomed, under Shao Bo's arrangement, it is impossible for Anelka to stay in London for a long time.

After all, when Henry returns, Shao Bo must do his best to train him.

Since the standing center cannot be used, the avant-garde players who mainly pass from the side will also be replaced by wingers.This is why Shao Bo must buy players such as Overmars and Ljungberg. This is the trend of football development.

Not to mention anything else, after 5 games, these two wide players have already demonstrated their value with 2 goals and 3 assists.A winger who has speed and can break through.They outshine traditional wingers in both time and space.

This is why Shao Bo boldly let these two players occupy the starting position-Ljungberg is currently rotating with Mason, but he is the future of the team.

Both wingers have excellent physical fitness, extremely fast speed, and comprehensive skills, often tearing through the opponent's defense line in a flash.They no longer focus on bottom crosses, but rely more on the middle and take on more offensive responsibilities.

Some media joked that although Manchester United is "flying on both wings", Arsenal's current wings are not inferior to the Red Devils.

Today, Arsenal does not only have Pratt as a core.Vieira, who has grown up, can also be responsible for some organizational work, and Pettit has also worked well with the team after being honed in friendly matches.

The current Arsenal is not only multi-point blooming, but also multi-core parallelism.Many media are looking forward to who can dominate the league between the old dominant Manchester United and the emerging fast horse Arsenal.

But it's coming soon. According to the schedule, after another round, the two teams will be able to face-to-face.But before that, both sides will encounter a strong opponent.

Arsenal met Newcastle, and Manchester United met Liverpool.

Looking at the schedule, Shao Bo sat in the office and smiled, Ferguson, how will you deal with the next game?
Liverpool is also gearing up for Manchester United's challenge, as long as they win this one.Liverpool, who currently have three wins and two draws, may not be able to surpass Arsenal and start their way to compete for the top spot.

Without any surprises, these four traditional strong teams are all ranked in the top six in the league.There is actually little difference in strength between fourth place Liverpool and sixth place Newcastle.It's just that Newcastle lost to Leeds United, which is currently third in the league, in the last game.

It doesn't matter to Shao Bo, no matter what the opponent is, there is only one way to choose.Although Newcastle is strong, it is only a little more difficult to crush.Although Arsenal did not have the confidence to win the opponent completely, Shao Bo never conceded defeat.

In contrast, Manchester United's 92 generation has provoked the mainstay.During the transfer period, Shao Bo called Beckham and asked him how he was doing at Manchester United.If he is interested, Shao Bo welcomes him to Arsenal, but he is politely rejected by the other party.

In fact, Beckham is not suitable for Arsenal's tactical system.He is an excellent winger with a passing ability that few can match.However, his running speed is much worse than that of Overmars and other players.

Moreover, his crossing ability, which is his strength, will be much less effective if he does not have an excellent standing center forward.Arsenal, on the other hand, does not have such a center forward.

Although with his long pass, if Arsenal work harder in the direction of defensive counterattack, it will also have a good application.But in that case, Shao Bo always felt that such a talent was buried.

Therefore, Shao Bo's phone call was actually a joke, and neither party took it seriously.Since the first confrontation between Arsenal and Manchester United, Shao Bo has openly invited Beckham in the player tunnel.After a few times, this kind of invitation became Shao Bo's opening words when he approached Beckham for a drink.

For this heartthrob, although Shao Bo doesn't have that kind of hobby, there is always no harm in making friends with him.At least, Shao Bo has seen countless banknotes from him, and there may be opportunities for cooperation in the future.

While it's unlikely to work together on the court, Shao Bo wanted to give Beckham a cameo role in "Fever."

Think about it, if there is an opportunity to let a Manchester United star participate in an Arsenal fan movie, what impact will it have on the image of the two teams?
Unfortunately, Beckham rejected Shao Bo's proposal at that time.And right afterward, Ferguson made a phone call to quarrel with Shao Bo.

While Ferguson said that Shao Bo always wanted to poach their corners, Shao Bo retorted that Ferguson was old fashioned.Anyway, the two had been arguing for a long time, but there was no result.

Ferguson can't restrict Beckham and Shao Bo from meeting, right?
Speaking of it, it is thanks to the magic of love that Beckham has such a good relationship with Shao Bo.

　Are you in ecstasy?The next chapter will explain in detail. In addition, the information about the early UEFA Champions League is very difficult to find^. This chapter should be published at 7 o'clock in the morning. I don't know what happened, but it did not.Count my mistake.In addition, it seems that it will be on the shelves soon, and it is really not easy to ask for a first order when the time comes, to avoid the literary inquisition, and to write books for Daoliang.
