Chapter 147 Secret Meeting

According to what the audience friends like to hear, this secret meeting can be summed up in the next few sentences.

The current chairman of Real Madrid Sanz met with Manchester coach Manchester United chairman Edwards in the Real Madrid Sports City, and the two sides had a cordial and friendly talk.

Sanz and Martin Edwards affirmed the long-standing and long-standing friendship between the two parties in the past, and said that the two teams must unswervingly maintain this close relationship.And, express appreciation for Manchester United joining Real Madrid's camp.

The UEFA spokesperson denied the media's claim that "rich clubs want to abandon UEFA and set up a new league on their own".

……

After the jokes, there is serious business.The current secret meeting is just the beginning, and the game between UEFA and the giant clubs is bound to go through a rather long process.

For the meeting that Shao Bo is not yet qualified to participate in, he has little interest.This made him feel like he was just a wage earner under the boss. Although this was true, it was not a pleasant fact.

England's head coach is in charge of the system, giving Shao Bo great power.In the case that the chairman has not intervened for a long time, he has habitually felt that he is the only one in the team.

It may take a long time to actually acquire the team.Among other things, Shao Bo's own foundation is not solid, and his network cannot be compared with those old guys who have been in business for many years.

Moreover, the construction of new stadiums in the future is bound to be a very important issue.If these old guys with a lot of energy leave the board, they won't have much to do with Arsenal.Shao Bo wants to build a new stadium for Arsenal. I am afraid that many problems must be solved by himself, and he may not be able to solve them.

This kind of large public building cannot be built by simply throwing money at it.

Don't you see, whether it is the upstart Abramovich or the local tyrant Arab Group, is it very difficult for them to build a new stadium for the club in the UK?

Chelsea's new stadium construction plan is almost ten years old, and Manchester City is just renting the Etihad Stadium.

Money alone cannot be spent, and there are many procedures such as the consent of nearby residents and the approval of the city council.And these, Shao Bo can not rely on his own strength to solve.

So, just for a far-reaching new stadium, Shao Bo had to bide his time.Even if Arsenal's stock price rises sharply in the future, it is impossible for him to sell immediately.

Therefore, Shao Bo is now focusing on building the team, hoping to promote the construction of the new stadium in advance through better results.Every time construction starts a year earlier, the land price in London will be cheaper, and the club will also bear less debt.

And Highbury believes that it will be transformed into a real estate project at that time. As long as it avoids the financial storm one year in advance, the real estate project at Highbury alone can pay off most of the debts of the new stadium.

Without having to work so hard to sell players and repay loans, Arsenal's competitiveness will recover faster.

What's going on in February?Naturally, it is the draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season.

In the headquarters of UEFA, Lausanne, Switzerland, in the TV broadcast, you can see that the draw of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals is going on here.

According to the resolution three years ago, UEFA headquarters will be relocated to Nyon, Switzerland this autumn.Therefore, this draw ceremony is also UEFA's last UEFA Champions League draw in Lausanne.

Shao Bo is also really looking forward to the grouping of the lottery this time. After all, among the teams that have entered the quarterfinals, Arsenal led by Shao Bo has already played against five of them.Excluding myself, there are only two teams from Germany that have never met.

The Bundesliga dark horse Kaiser Strautern has created quite a miracle, but Shao Bo is also looking forward to the duel with this shocking dark horse.As for other teams such as Bayern Munich, he believes that they will meet sooner or later in the future, but Kaiserstlautern is not necessarily.

Unfortunately, fate did not let Shao Bo get his wish.

Maybe it's for hype and gimmicks to increase ratings. Doesn't UEFA like to play like this?
The Bundesliga "Red Devils" will face off with the Premier League "Red Devils", and they are the first pair of clubs to be confirmed.

Kip Dynamo will play with last season's Serie A runner-up Inter Milan, while another team from Italy, Juventus, will compete with old rival Arsenal for the semi-finals.

The last pair of quarter-finals is naturally last season's Real Madrid and the Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich.Except for the game between Inter Milan and Kipdynamo, which lacked a little attention, the remaining three games all had many hyped gimmicks.

But the derby is divided into the "Red Devils" derby and the "European derby".And Arsenal and Juventus are also old rivals who won each other last season, which deserves the attention of fans.

Since he didn't get the opponent he wanted, Shao Bo could only accept his fate.

He has already made it to the group stage, and none of the top eight in the current Champions League is easy to mess with, and it doesn't matter which team he plays.Since they are all teams that have played, Shao Bo doesn't have too many ideas.Anyway, on the road to the championship, any club is an obstacle and an opponent. It doesn't matter which club it is.

The current head coach of Juventus is still the "Silver Fox" Lippi. Seeing the confrontation with their old opponents again, the two had a drink and chatted after the draw ceremony.

We are all head coaches, and encounters in matches are inevitable.Since there are not many grievances and grievances in normal times, it is also good for oneself to exchange feelings and gain more connections.

This is why Shao Bo has never deliberately targeted Ferguson because of past memories.He is no longer a pure fan. Now Shao Bo has more things to think about than in the past.

Whether it is the Champions League draw or the relocation of UEFA headquarters, Arsenal's Premier League games will continue.

The early exit of the League Cup and the FA Cup is doomed that they only need to make efforts in the league and the Champions League this season.There is no way. In the two domestic competitions, Arsenal encountered many strong enemies.In reality, Manchester United, followed by Liverpool and Leeds United, and Shao Bo, who lost the game carelessly, also happened to concentrate on dealing with the league.

As long as they can win the league championship this season, then the great cause of three consecutive league championships is about to be achieved!

Not to mention anything else, but this honor is almost on top of the last Champions League trophy.So far, except for the 30s when they won five championships in eight years, Arsenal has never completed a miraculous three-peat.

If Shao Bo can reproduce the first generation of Arsenal's dynasty, then he will at least be comparable to Graham in the club's historical status, and may even be higher.

Shao Bo really didn't know what Graham was thinking, he turned around and ran towards Arsenal's arch-enemy Tottenham.

You know, except when he was a player and head coach of Arsenal, he often had conflicts with Tottenham players and fans.Even now, there are occasional news that Tottenham fans do not welcome him.

It is okay to say that Tottenham's performance is better than Arsenal's. In fact, Tottenham's performance has been inferior to Arsenal's over the years, and the two teams cannot be regarded as teams of the same level at all.

Arsenal is a team that has just successfully defended the league title, but what about Tottenham?They are mixed in the middle of the league.

And what about the money invested?Even though Shao Bo didn't buy anyone this season, it means that the club has invested all the money in the construction of Kearney Stadium.This is an infrastructure as important as a new stadium, and it is of great significance to the long-term development of the club.

Now look at the Tottenham team, the eighth place in the league, although they are two places higher than last season, but compared with Graham's past, this is really a low point in his life.

In the previous round, Arsenal faced Tottenham at home. This time, Graham was booed by the audience at Highbury.Perhaps, the current Graham is the most hated Tottenham man among Arsenal fans.

Lenovo last year, Graham led Leeds United to Highbury and received applause and cheers from the audience. Shao Bo really couldn't understand his job-hopping.

Facing such an opponent, the entire Arsenal team worked hard.Although Graham's transformation of Tottenham is also in progress, this time, he did not prevent Arsenal's victory.

Moreover, neither Bergkamp nor Anelka have much connection with Graham, and there is no concern about past feelings or the idea of ​​taking care of each other's face.

In order to gain more recognition from the fans in the derby, Anelka scored a hat-trick in this game.And Bergkamp also got two assists.

Without the pressure of the domestic cup competition, the team played lightly. They won consecutive victories, and the points were no longer far behind the top two teams competing for the championship.

Seeing that the top three teams all have huge advantages, I am afraid that the clubs at the bottom also know that they will not be able to qualify for the next Champions League.

The gap between No.4 and the top three is getting bigger and bigger.

Now Liverpool, like Arsenal, have lost their domestic cup front after encountering a strong enemy.And without the pressure of the European war, they can focus all their attention on the league.

Speaking of the three teams competing for the championship, Manchester United, which is still advancing in the FA Cup, the League, and the Champions League, is probably the happiest and the most depressed.

Their happiness lies in the opportunity to complete the treble, and their depression lies in the fact that there are too many games, and there are always times when Manchester United needs to make a choice.

They can still hold on now, what about waiting until the later stages of the league?The Triple Crown may become all three at any time.
