Chapter 186 Who Can Stop Me

There is no need to speak out the declaration of striving for an undefeated championship so early, which will put tremendous pressure on your players.

So Shao Bo was only induced by the reporter, saying that he was very interested in winning the undefeated championship. Whether he can really accomplish this achievement has to wait until the end of the season.

Seeing that Shao Bo tactfully avoided the last question, Kyle, the reporter who asked the question, was a little upset.

As a sports reporter, you should not have special feelings for a certain club, after all, this will affect the authenticity and fairness of the report.

But who can really do it?
He was originally a neutral fan who tended to Tottenham Hotspur, and of course he was a little uncomfortable after seeing Shao Bo win.This question is also a trap he specially set for Shao Bo.

When he said that Arsenal has been unbeaten in [-] consecutive games and there are only two draws in so many games, does Shao Bo have the idea of ​​​​preparing to win the league unbeaten this season?

Shao Bo was naturally prepared for this question - he wouldn't foolishly follow the reporter's leading question to answer.

If you really get carried away and declare now that you want to lead the team to win the championship with undefeated results, it will definitely bring too much pressure to the team and affect the performance of the players.

And what do other teams think when they hear that?Will he go all out in the competition with Arsenal and try to beat them?

Although they aim to win every game, their goals and motivations are different.

If it's just a game in the league, for the sake of the championship, everyone just strives for victory normally, there is no way to win or lose, this is the norm in the league.

But if Arsenal issued a declaration of winning the championship undefeated, then all teams will do their best to prevent Arsenal from getting such an honor-if Arsenal really succeeds, let their contemporaries save face where?

Therefore, Shao Bo will not state his goals in a high-profile manner.

Now although Arsenal's unbeaten record is being extended, many teams hope that they can fail, but the idea of ​​​​hoping for Arsenal to fail is not the most important thing.

They also have more interest demands, such as avoiding Arsenal in the league to save energy, and taking advantage of other opponents who are closer in strength.

Anyway, Arsenal's strength is now obvious to all. If a lot of energy is wasted and nothing is gained, it is really not worth the loss.

Or strong teams like Liverpool and Chelsea, who are under the pressure of the European war, are also very likely to arrange half of the main players in the domestic league to deal with foreign enemies.

But if they really tell Arsenal's goal of winning the unbeaten championship this season, all previous inferences will be invalidated.

Probably the domestic teams will take Arsenal as the first goal-they can't let them announce this goal openly, and then achieve it smoothly, right?
This is not in Shao Bo's own interests, so he will not do this.

Taking a deep look at the credentials of the reporter who asked the question, Kyle Browski, he noted the name.

It can be seen from the surname that Kyle has Jewish ancestry.And Tottenham, from the founder to the current chairman, is all Jewish.

Although because of this, Tottenham Hotspur, which is not harmonious with most clubs in England, can be regarded as a rare representative of Jews in the sports world.

And they were overwhelmingly abused by Arsenal. Therefore, many Jewish fans turned black on Arsenal, and it is understandable that Kyle's press conference targeted Shao Bo.

Arsenal, after their drastic victory over Tottenham, finally ushered in their first loss of the season. In the first group stage of the European War, they lost away to the Blue Eagles Lazio.

However, this loss is nothing.

Originally, the first stage of the group stage was mainly about qualifying, and the ranking was not important.As long as Arsenal can grasp a qualifying spot, it doesn't matter how much trouble is left.

Lazio can be regarded as their most powerful enemy in this group.

However, in the face of such a strong opponent, Shao Bo chose the tactic of airborne a large number of young players to play in the European war, and the main force returned to the spirit of recuperation.

After decisively letting go of this kind of competition that can only compete for rankings, their mentality is even more relaxed.

"Cowards? No! This is nothing more than the courage of a man. I won't let the strength of the team be wasted in unnecessary fights."

After losing to Lazio after the game, Shao Bo defended his team at the press conference.

"Yes, the players have played so many games, of course they need to rotate and rest, is there a problem with me doing this?"

Shao Bo's answer was a bit sophistry, but everyone could see it.Now they are concentrating most of their energies at home. The unbeaten run of more than ten rounds of the league also puts enough pressure on them.

Now they are like a bowstring that is gradually being tightened, and whoever flicks their fingers lightly will break the string.

It's just that Tottenham Hotspur tried their best and used their tragic experience to tell everyone that if they don't have enough strength, once they lightly touch this string, they will also suffer a strong counterattack.

Just after such an astonishing game, Arsenal have never played a score like this again.

In addition to because they need to preserve their physical strength for the long-term goal of the league, it is also because other teams and Arsenal have neither historical enmity, nor have they provoked any hatred by talking about it before the game.

However, after the crazy October, Arsenal couldn't maintain their super high winning percentage, and they were often attacked by their opponents at the last moment of the game and were forced to keep a tie.

People have also gradually discovered this point, and realized that Arsenal are a little bit powerless now. After all, the pressure to keep the league unbeaten is great.

Fifteen games in a row without defeat, this is Arsenal's current achievement in the Premier League, which is enough to make the world look at it, but it is only the beginning.

What's more, they ranked second with three wins, one draw and two losses in the first group stage of the Champions League and successfully advanced to the second stage group stage. There are no problems on both fronts.

In the second stage of the group stage, in addition to the old acquaintance Sparta Moscow, there is also a new opponent AC Milan.

Fortunately, Lyon is not too far away from Arsenal, otherwise Shao Bo would have to study how they should deal with it.

Although the opponents in the group stage are not weak, as long as Arsenal work hard, there is still no problem in getting a qualifying spot.

Now Shao Bo is still focusing on the league.

The two fronts are prone to collapse, but it is also a good choice for him to make a breakthrough in the domestic league first and then deal with the European war.

The expansion of the Champions League has led to the entry of many strong teams; the two-stage group stage has greatly increased their energy consumption in the Champions League.

It is too difficult to win the Champions League in the past few years. Shao Boning can wait for a while and be steady.

According to my memory, the Champions League will continue to be reformed within a few years, and the two-stage group stage competition system will definitely be cancelled.

In fact, even if there is no such memory of later generations, there are still many people in the football world complaining about UEFA's competition system.

The main reason is that in the most important competition of the Champions League, the team needs to participate in too many games.

The teams participating in the Champions League will inevitably involve a lot of energy here, so they have no time to take care of the domestic league.

It can be seen from the composition of the two participating teams that a large number of new teams are the previous participating clubs. When they could not take care of both ends, they concentrated on surpassing them in the domestic league and took away the Champions League. tickets.

The simplest example is La Coruña in La Liga and Leeds United in the Premier League.

They have not had much experience in participating in such large-scale international competitions in the past. In addition to their outstanding strength and outstanding performance, the distraction of Valencia, Chelsea, Liverpool and other teams is also an important reason.

Therefore, although many new faces appear in the Champions League every year, the old vested interests are not willing.

Every new team entering the Champions League will dilute the benefits they get, reducing the bonuses they get, and prestige.

In other words, they can't wait to monopolize the entire Champions League and earn the maximum benefit for their team-the establishment of G14 has such a purpose.

Therefore, they don't want the Champions League system to be too complicated and the schedule to be too cumbersome.

Since the new reform took effect, a group of people have been moving around, hoping that the Champions League will be reformed again to simplify the cumbersome schedule.

As a head coach who has coached for many years, Shao Bo naturally knows the news.

UEFA is negotiating with them. It is estimated that within one or two years, UEFA will definitely have new measures.

Although the current G14 is nothing more than a private aggregation organization established purely to safeguard their own interests, they have indirectly played their due role in the innovation of the entire football game.

Shao Bo also only needs to wait for two years, and then he can compete for the Champions League championship in a simplified and more familiar schedule!

Now, Shao Bo said that he has not won enough league championships yet.

You know, the current Ferguson has won more top league titles in England than Shao Bo.

Of course, Ferguson, who coached Manchester United in 1986, won the first league championship, and it was already the era of the Premier League.

With his efforts, he once brought Manchester United's number of domestic league titles to ten, and then Shao Bo was born.

Since Shao Bo started coaching Arsenal, Manchester United led by Ferguson has only won one league championship in four years.

Originally, Ferguson had just led Manchester United to tie with Arsenal in the number of top league championships, but now Shao Bo opened the gap.
