Chapter 136 Gold Rush Trip

This is the case in professional clubs. It is impossible for players to have a longer career than the coach, and Shao Bo will experience more such people coming and going.

The Conil training base is still under construction, and now Arsenal has indeed reached a period of lack of sufficient capital investment.

There is no way, without a rich man willing to spend his own money to invest.It's a club's long-term plan, while giving up some of the best short-term gains it can make.The same is true for the subsequent construction of the stadium. Only by surviving painful training can we achieve greater glory.

Although Zola left, Henry came to Highbury from Monaco.As long as he is given enough room to grow, Shao Bo believes that Henry will do better than all the forwards here now!

Facing the future King of Highbury, Shao Bo has this confidence.

Hyypia is also gradually taking over the class of the five veterans of the defense. The age of 34 and 35 is really not suitable for continuing to fight in such a fierce Premier League.

But Shao Bo could not simply replace them.

First of all, although they are too old, the tacit cooperation between the five veterans of the defense is obtained through long-term games and training. It is difficult for newcomers to integrate into the team's defensive system all at once.

Secondly, their level is indeed still there. It is impossible for Shao Bo to take the risk of losing the ball and send new players to the field.

Last but not least.That is, Shao Bo has never really controlled the locker room!
In the past two years, Shao Bo seldom got angry, and even if he got angry, it was always directed at the opponent team.And usually after the game, the players are always invited to get together, have a meal and chat.In addition to being stricter during training, Shao Bo is actually quite gentle with these players.

Not to mention he often hangs out with the players and plays video games.Relying on the skills developed by later generations on more complex game consoles, Shao Bo is basically the No. 1 video game in the team.

Many game bugs that later generations gradually discovered, Shao Bo can use them in advance and tell the players to deepen friendship.

Some of them are deliberately done by Shao Bo, and some of them are really liked by himself.

Shao Bo knew that he was not a prestigious head coach.When I first came to Arsenal, I had no championship and no qualifications.If you want the players to be obedient, there is only one way, to blend in, play with them, and lead the team as a friend.

Of course, the help of Tony Adams, the big brother in the locker room, is indispensable.Fortunately, since the publication of Adams' autobiography, Adams, who has changed his face, is no longer the drunk guy he used to be all day long.Under Shao Bo's conversation, he agreed to assist Shao Bo in leading the locker room.

Therefore, based on Shao Bo alone, his status is actually not stable.Some of the five veterans of the defense have more than ten years of friendship with Adams, which is not comparable to that of Shao Bo, who has only been here for two years.

The long-term friendship made Adams unwilling to leave them. Therefore, although Shao Bo intends to speed up the process of rejuvenating the team, the defense part is still basically immobile.

Rio Ferdinand and Terry are all young people in their 20s.In the eyes of Adams and the others, this is the future of Arsenal. The careers of the two groups basically do not overlap, and they are willing to do their best to help these younger generations grow.

Although Hypia is on the rise in his career, just because of Martin Keown's long-term injury, Hyypia can be an effective substitute.

The main question is whether Shao Bo will introduce a right back while Lee Dixon is recovering from injury.

Now Lee Dixon is still undergoing rehabilitation, and now he has reached the age of 34.Even if he recovers immediately, he may be at the end of his career.

Although he is a stealing full-back, his assist ability is quite strong. In 1989, Arsenal was able to reverse Liverpool to win the championship in the last minute. Lee Dixon was the first to instigate the last round of attacks.

It's a pity that time passes quickly and heroes die hard.

Dixon will definitely not come back in a short period of time, and Shao Bo has only two choices now.One is to transform a player in the team into a right back, and the other is to buy another player from outside.

Leaving aside whether Sun Jihai is capable of playing the main position, Shao Bo felt dangerous even looking at the roster as a right back candidate.

The team's Martin Keown had a brief cameo when Dixon was out, and now he can try again.

In the end, Shao Bo decided not to look for a right back in the transfer market.

Changed the past bad living habits, regular diet, and scientific and reasonable diet menu. A series of changes are enough to prolong the careers of these players.

At least in Shao Bo's memory, these players can basically survive the storms of the new century.It would be too risky to replace new players.

Although it is dubbed the "old man's defense" by other media, Arsenal still ranks second in the number of goals conceded in the league, which already speaks volumes for the problem.

The first position belongs to Manchester United, but unfortunately they are a bit worse than Arsenal in terms of offense, otherwise they would not lose the league championship because of goal difference.

It just so happened that Martin Keown left from the position of central defender to make room for Hyypia.There is a buffering process for the replacement of the old and the new, so that the team will not lose competitiveness due to too fast changes, and Hyypia will not seek a transfer because of too few games.

After the World Cup, Shao Bo went to China alone, and his stay in Europe was long enough.In China, he still has a lot of work to do.

The Chinese stores around Arsenal have all opened for business. Among them, because of the high cost of ten-year long-term authorization, Shao Bo had to bring in a few partners to share risks and profits.

Ling Yaoyao's family occupies a large market in the retail industry. After learning about Shao Bo's blueprint, Ling Yaoyao's father brought in a few sports business friends to cooperate with Shao Bo.

Shao Bo's store is mainly selling sports goods and peripherals, but it only focuses on the Arsenal brand.

He really intends to design a brand of his own right now, just like the big man surnamed Li in the domestic sporting goods industry.But meals have to be eaten bite by bite, and things have to be done bit by bit.

But Arsenal's business is already busy enough, where does he have time to do his own brand management?Simply, like Sun Jihai, set up two separate collections in the Arsenal store, so that people can have a concept about Shao Bo.Wait until the opportunity arises in the future before launching your own brand.

Back to China, of course, is not purely for vacation.Apart from the business of several stores, when Shao Bo came back, he just checked the environment of the venue in advance, so as to avoid having to come here collectively in a few days.

In view of the excellent results the club has achieved in the past two years, Arsenal, who have tasted the sweetness, once again thought of the plan to visit China.

It just so happens that the current Chinese football industry is in a stage of rapid development, and the enthusiasm of the fans is extremely high.And Arsenal's achievements also have the confidence to play on the commercial circuit.Coupled with Shao Bo and Sun Jihai, two important personnel who have nothing to do with China, Arsenal will definitely receive a warm welcome.

Because the club is building the Kearney training base, the team is actually in a period of financial crisis.

Play a few commercial games, the profits will definitely not be small.Because the organizer from China has already remitted the guaranteed bonus to Arsenal's account, at least they will not lose money.

Originally, Arsenal had to hit more honors next season, and commercial competitions really had a great impact on pre-season training.Not to mention that this year is the World Cup year, everyone is a little tired, which will definitely affect the state of the game at the beginning of the season.

It's just that he also understands the club's financial situation. If playing two more games can exchange for a large amount of construction funds, Shao Bo can only acquiesce.

After the World Cup, the players will have about two weeks of vacation, and then they will gather in London and fly to China.

Because of the relationship between Shao Bo and Sun Jihai, the prize money originally promised by the Japanese side would be higher, but the Arsenal club still chose to come to China.

About half a month or so of business tour competitions, one each in BJ, Shanghai and Hong Kong.During the period, players can also travel and go shopping in this mysterious land of East Asia.

If it wasn't for worrying about having a big impact on the results at the beginning of the season, Shao Bo actually liked this kind of commercial competition.

However, after agreeing to this competition, Shao Bo also had three chapters with David Dane.They won't be able to travel this far for at least the next year.

It is also a friendly match, and it is also a pre-season training camp, but the effect is better in London.

Shao Bo also knows that with the growing influence of the Premier League and Champions League in the world, it is impossible for them not to go to all parts of the world with the development of globalization.

This year, someone in the Premier League proposed to put one of the Premier League games around the world to increase its influence.Although the proposal is absurd, it has the soil for its existence. Shao Bo has never ignored the potential of other countries' markets.

It's a pity that although Sun Jihai is a player trained by Dalian, if fans in the Northeast want to see their compatriots, they can only run to BJ nearby.

The current network is not well developed, but before the end of the World Cup, major cities in China have already placed advertisements about Arsenal coming to China.

The excitement of the World Cup has not faded, and this is a good time to take advantage of it and make a lot of money.In order to see Shao Bo and Sun Jihai, many fans still prepared tickets and genuine jerseys waiting to be signed.

For a while, several stores opened by Shao Bo ushered in another peak sales period.

And following people's expectations, the Arsenal plane flying from London to BJ has also arrived in the sky over China.
