Chapter 167 Inheritance
The movie doesn't take much time for Shao Bo, and now he is preparing for the new season.

Because their results this season were not ideal, and because they had already participated in a commercial competition last year, it affected their preparations at the beginning of the season.

This directly led to them not being able to gain a leading advantage at the beginning of the season, and at the end of the season, they would not be able to adapt to the tough competition of multiple champions due to insufficient physical reserves.

This new season, Shao Bo will never make such a mistake again.

Of course, even if many teams play commercial games, they will still win the championship that year, that is because they have enough good players and enough players.There is no need to worry about rotation and physical fitness, but more practice is needed on the tacit understanding of formation coordination.

Before the new season, they will inevitably conduct pre-match training, and will also play several friendly matches against many strong teams to test the effect of training.

It's just that Arsenal's first friendly match this year has a more special meaning.

This is a farewell game dedicated to the departed veteran.

Highbury's green stadium, as the club's mascot, the green dinosaur Rex walked on the field in a naive manner, greeting the fans in the stands before the game.

Rex's official title in English is Lizard Gun King, which contains the tradition and history of the club.

When it comes to tradition, players must be mentioned.Because it is these players who will pass on the spirit of the club from generation to generation, and the veterans will pass it on to the soldiers, and the soldiers will gradually grow up.

Otherwise, what's the point of a century-old club history?
Whether it's a good player or a good coach, or a magnificent stadium or an advanced training base, everything can be spent with money.

Only a long history and a spirit worthy of inheritance cannot be bought by anyone. This is also an important means of distinguishing clubs with heritage from upstarts.

So any player who has made a huge contribution to the team should be rewarded in the same way that the British Empire rewards.

Although it is impossible for the club to issue medals, it is still a common practice to hold a farewell match for the departing veteran.This is also a manifestation of the club's human touch. At least holding such a game deliberately also represents the importance the club attaches to the players.

Just like last season, Arsenal also held a farewell game for Zola.Although Zola has not played for the team for a long time, without his efficient goals, Shao Bo may not have won the first two double crowns.

Now, just in the summer before the advent of the new century, due to the departure of a group of veterans, a farewell match was held for them.

A total of seven Arsenal players have left the team this season.Except for Anelka, most of them are veterans who have played for the club for more than five years.

Just in time, David Dane invited several old players who had left the club in the past to return to the stadium to play a farewell game together.

This can also be regarded as a game where friendship and business coexist. At least, this game is very profitable from ticket sales alone.Although the club had deliberately lowered the ticket price because it wasn't the main match, it still reaped a huge harvest when all the players were fully booked.

Of course, now is no longer the era when you can only go to the scene to watch the football. Because the performance has increased in the past two years, the TV broadcasters have also taken a fancy to the team's reputation. Even if it is a friendly match, the broadcast fee can be copied to sky-high prices. .

After all, Arsenal also has a huge fan base in Asia. Whether it is China, Japan, Hong Kong or Vietnam, Arsenal is the most supported team in these countries when surveyed.

Since it is famous, has potential, and there is room for improvement in performance in the foreseeable future, advertisers have also found the team to provide various sponsorship contracts.

Therefore, even in the pre-match press conference of this friendly match, the reporters were blinded by the large number of sponsor logos behind Shao Bo.

"Of course, they are all valuable assets of the club. No matter who leaves, it will be a huge loss for the team."

Facing the reporter, Shao Bo talked eloquently, and sitting next to Shao Bo was the captain of the team, Tony Adams.

"Tony? No! He's our captain. I have no plans to let him go. In fact, as long as he wants to keep running at Highbury, I will give him a contract. I will tell him, hey man. , Can you still play? If you can play, sign this contract. No, Tony has renewed his contract with us for another three years. At least until 02, you don’t have to think about him. Gossip."

While talking, Shao Bo announced the news that the captain's contract renewal has been completed.This can also be regarded as a signal sent by Shao Bo during the period of drastic changes of the team's new and old teams, that is, at least, he will definitely not be too radical when transforming the team.

Adams has renewed his contract!

This news can be regarded as a blockbuster that Shao Bo released to the reporters before the friendly match.You know, as the captain of the team, Tony Adams has only one year left on his contract.

The media are still speculating why Shao Bo hasn't renewed his contract with him. Is Adams also planning to leave?After all, at his age, it's still too early to retire now.

The training camp for the new season has just begun, how can the renewal work be done so quickly?The reporters expressed their doubts one after another.

Shao Bo replied with a smile, his eyes squinted like crescent moons. In fact, the contract renewal between the club and Adams had already been completed at the end of the season, but he deliberately delayed the release of the news until this time.

There is no special purpose, but he feels that at the end of the season, even if the game is over, it will not attract people's attention even if it is announced. It is better to brew it for half a summer, and then say it after attracting all the attention.

It has to be said that Shao Bo has now grasped the psychology of the reporters and understood the method of maximizing news value.

It's not that the sooner the news is released, the better. At an appropriate time, after the topic has been heated up, if the news is released, the attention will definitely increase a lot.

At least, it's easier to make headlines.

Shao Bo painstakingly studied these, but also practiced the theory of marketing and advertising.The goal is to control the entire club, and this professional knowledge also needs to be dabbled in.

Shao Bo's tact, they have learned a long time ago.Reporters now want to know what Adams thinks as the captain of the team.

"I don't even look at it, I sign every contract that Arsenal offers me." Tony Adams said sternly.

"Whatever it is, like the apprentice contract, the player contract, I will sign it. The ball boy contract? Sign it! The Rex contract? (the club's mascot) Sign it! This is my club, Arsenal , as long as I have the opportunity and I am ready, then I am willing to help. If I am needed, even if it is to pour tea."

The captain nakedly expressed his loyalty to the club at the press conference, but no one was surprised.Because, this is not the first time Adams has said something like this.

When he was celebrating his 30th birthday, he was asked by a reporter what he would do after retiring.

At that time, Adams said without thinking about it, after retiring, he would naturally study coaching courses and then come back to work for Arsenal.

At that time, Shao Bo had only come to the club not long ago, and Adams did not believe that a young man in his early 20s could fully understand what a team is.

Thank God, as long as it is not relegated, Adams thought so, but it was beyond his expectations.The team won the league championship again after many years, and also completed the defense!

But, come to think of it, Shao Bo is almost ten years younger than Adams.As long as he has no problems, it is basically difficult for Adams to have the opportunity to realize his dream of coaching Arsenal.

In the veteran's farewell game, there was a young Irish men's chorus singing "Toohard to say goodbye" for the game.

This song, which appeared in the 2012 European Cup, moved Shao Bo and was memorized by him. It is not very famous, but it is especially suitable for such a farewell scene.

Therefore, Shao Bo "created" this song ten years in advance.

Of course, the original work is still not suitable for such a scene, so Shao Bo also made some small changes.It's just that in order to find the original composition of this song, Thomas also spent a lot of energy.

At that time, he only remembered that the song was composed by a men's chorus group from Ireland, but he couldn't remember exactly which group it belonged to. Fortunately, after many investigations, he still confirmed the band Westlife Boys.

Although it is a bit shameless to plagiarize other people's works, isn't this one of the privileges of time travel?
Moreover, Shao Bo is quite "conscience" and tries to hand over every work he uses to the original work.

After he provided the general melody and lyrics, the other party polished it up.At least, they can get most of the benefits,

As Shao Bo's friend, Beckham also watched the farewell game from the stands.Of course, his girlfriend Victoria is also here, oh no, it should be called his wife now.

After winning the great honor of the Triple Crown, Beckham also entered the palace of marriage with Victoria, who had been with him for two years.

A media-focused "century wedding" was held in Dublin, the capital of Ireland.

The venue for the wedding was the classical and romantic Luttleston Castle Manor Castle, because the Queen of England with the same name as Victoria also married here in history.

Think about it, Shao Bo probably won't have the chance to get married in the Forbidden City no matter how awesome he is.Unless the book is immediately changed from competition to Long Aotian Fighting for Hegemony....

　I finished writing this chapter after listening to this song. It's very parting... I also recommend it to book friends for the first update!
