Chapter 169
Shao Bo, who successfully defeated Manchester United and won the Charity Shield, said at the press conference that he was not interested in the legendary curse.

"The competition for the league championship has never been an easy task. This has nothing to do with any legendary curse. I don't believe it. If there is such a curse, we have to break it this season!"

Arsenal fought this game with the idea of ​​revenge. Naturally, they have a stronger fighting spirit, and it is not surprising to win.

Manchester United have overcome this curse, so why can't Arsenal do it?

Although Shao Bo himself was brought into this world by an inexplicable system, in the first year of coaching, he also received the benefits of this hidden power many times.

But he was just like this, and he never cared about such illusory things.

Although the system is powerful enough to allow Shao Bo to travel through it, it can communicate, and now it has turned into a human form, appearing in the world as Thomas, and after seeing it a lot, you will get used to it.

Moreover, the system also clearly told Shao Bo many restrictions in the early days of his coaching, making him understand that not everyone can easily interfere with the operation of the world. Hyped.

In terms of probability, the ones who can win the Charity Shield are nothing more than the champion and runner-up of the league and the champion of the FA Cup.It is very difficult for a team to maintain its best form year after year, so it is not easy to defend the title.

If the team that won the Charity Shield wants to win the trophy, it will naturally be the same as defending the trophy. Of course, there are not many successful teams, and the curse is spread.

Not two days after the end of the game, before the official start of the new season, Arsenal finally negotiated terms with Real Mallorca.

They won the player with a transfer fee of 500 million pounds. What Shao Bo didn't expect was that Lauren's transfer turned out to be their most expensive contract this season.

It's just that Lauren is still a midfielder now, and it will take a lot of time to transform him into a right back.

Arsenal started the new season well, ranking second with three wins and two draws.But what makes Shao Bo depressed is that Manchester United won a wave of four consecutive victories after losing the first league game, overshadowing his limelight.

However, when comparing the schedule between the two teams, it can also be found that Manchester United's current opponents are basically ranked in the middle and rear of the standings, while Arsenal's opponents are stronger.

The new season has not been played for long, and they are leaving England to participate in the UEFA Champions League draw ceremony.

Now Shao Bo can be regarded as a frequent visitor to the Champions League, and has entered the main match for three consecutive years. This result is also quite good.

Here, he talked with a number of head coaches who had experience in fighting to exchange experiences.Every year at this time, the best head coaches in the world gather here.

Of course, it is not the best group of head coaches, and it is impossible to lead the team to the Champions League.

Maybe it was the suppression of Shao Bo, who was too young, or maybe Ferguson's Triple Crown was too brilliant.The best head coach selected by UEFA last season was Ferguson, who has been awarded a knighthood.

Due to the influence of the established European club organization G14, UEFA has carried out reforms and compromises in line with current events.

The original 24 teams participating in the main race have expanded to 32 teams.

Now, in addition to the champions and runners-up of the five major leagues, even No.3 has the opportunity to participate in the European Champions Cup.

History is always surprisingly similar!
The collective organization of European giants clubs is still called the G14, simply because they still have only 14 initial members.

G14's absorption conditions include: a team with a long history and tradition, having won the European Champions Cup, and playing an important role in its own national league.

Under Shao Bo's coaching, Arsenal's performance has improved considerably compared to before. Although they have not won the European Champions Cup, they have also won the remaining two European Cups. .

Moreover, over the years, their achievements have steadily improved, and they also have a wide range of influence in Europe and the world.

Originally, Arsenal could easily join the association, but because of the differences between the chairman of Arsenal and the chairman of Manchester United, Edwards.

Arsenal's idea is to immediately set up a league of 24 European powerhouses to take on UEFA.However, Manchester United's idea is to keep 14 first and expand slowly.

These two different organizational lines just show that the two teams represent different interests.

Manchester United's 14 elite routes represent the top giants in Europe, while Arsenal speak for a larger number of teams with similar strengths.

Just like one represents developed countries and the other represents the third world, although Arsenal's performance in recent years seems to have been "developed".

But the chairman, Hill Wood, hopes to help more European teams enter the organization and unite to share a greater voice.

The failure of the route is like a political struggle. Arsenal can only temporarily withdraw from G14, even though they are also one of the organizing teams.

Shao Bo couldn't understand his own chairman's thoughts. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "officials do not fight with the people". Civil organizations like G14 will inevitably die after being suppressed and divided. What's the point?

It's just that as the chairman of the club, Hill Wood must have seen more and farther than Shao Bo.He is a bigwig who has contacted most of the top executives in European football, and his interests cannot just look at the surface.

No matter how beautiful Shao Bo is now, to put it bluntly, he is just a wage earner under Hill.

Just like regarding this organizational issue, except for David Dane who had had a few exchanges with him, Old Hill never approached Shao Bo at all, and he didn't care about his thoughts.

Otherwise, why does he want to buy the team so much?
The current Shao Bo is not qualified to participate in this level of communication. As a head coach, he only needs to lead the team to play well.When the team's performance is so brilliant that people can't ignore it, G14 will have to invite Arsenal to join even if it is reversed.

In any case, the establishment of G14 has a profound impact on European football.

The "three major European cups" have undergone tremendous reforms, the European Cup Winners' Cup has been cancelled, and the European Champions Cup and UEFA Cup have expanded.

The most intuitive impact is that the number of participating teams in the Champions League has increased, Arsenal will play more games, and their difficulty in winning the championship has also greatly increased.

No.40 The fifth European Champions Cup has finally decided on the grouping. Apart from Arsenal and Manchester United, another English team that is lucky enough to catch the first train of the Champions League expansion is Chelsea in London.

Zola's outstanding performance had a great impact on the West London team, which also made Shao Bo regret that he would have stayed for another year if he had known.

Arsenal's final group stage opponents are Barcelona, ​​Willem II, and Sparta Moscow, and they are divided into Group B.

If it weren't for the expansion of the Champions League, I believe that in the next few years, the latter two teams would have little chance to participate in the Champions League.

What surprised Shao Bo was that this year's Ajax was so weak that they didn't even get the top three in the Eredivisie. They simply said goodbye to the Champions League and caught up with the Rockets at a degraded speed.

Willem II, who was replaced in the Eredivisie, is also the old club of the team defender Hyypia. After the veterans of the team have left, he will occupy a more important role.

It's just that Shao Bo has entered the Champions League group stage three times since Shao Bo took charge, and has already encountered teams in the Eredivisie twice.

As a giant in Europe, Barcelona has never been able to play against Arsenal. This year, Shao Bo will also have a regret.

As far as Sparta Moscow in Eastern Europe, the only thing that can threaten Arsenal is the cold weather there.

Well, although Shao Bo can wear a thick down jacket at that time, the players can only play in shorts and single clothes, which can easily cause injuries and affect the league before and after.

As the champions of last season, Manchester United's opponents are relatively easy to deal with. Neither Marseille nor Dinamo Zagreb seem to be able to affect their promotion. As for the other team, Shao Bo doesn't bother to remember. live name.

However, UEFA's reform has changed a lot. Now there are two rounds in the group stage. Even if they finish the first stage and qualify, they don't know whether they will encounter strong opponents in the next stage of the group stage.

As a team without any decent honors, Chelsea is really lucky to be able to reach the Champions League.If it weren't for Liverpool, who were originally contending for the championship, suddenly falling behind in the final stage, they would definitely have no hope of entering the Champions League.

The opponents facing Chelsea, which is divided into Group H, are not difficult to deal with. It is probably the weakest group in terms of overall strength among the eight groups in the Champions League.

After the first stage of the group stage, there will be a second stage.In the first stage of the group stage, they will determine the top 16, and the second stage of the group stage will produce the top eight, and then compete for the championship through the original home and away two-round knockout system.

Shao Bo, who is used to being knocked out directly after the group stage, doesn't like this two-stage group stage setting, which will waste a lot of their time in the Champions League.It was because of this that they lost the championship at the last minute last season.

Back in the league, Arsenal lost their first game of the season, against Liverpool at Anfield.

During the game, they finally discovered the problems that still existed in running-in.Fortunately, this is only the beginning of the season, and Arsenal do not lack time to catch up.

The closing of the transfer window also officially announced the official end of Arsenal's signings this season. Although Shao Bo still has a few favorite players, the two sides have not reached an agreement, and now they can only give up.
