Chapter 195 Welcome in line
However, in view of Shao Bo's excellent performance in leading the team, according to the agreement, Shao Bo got the right to buy Arsenal's shares in Old Hill's hands at the current market price.

Although there are no discounts, Arsenal's current performance is so good and the influence of the Premier League is gradually becoming too large. The team's assets will inevitably grow steadily. If it is not sold at a premium, then Hill will lose money.

Of course, Old Hill, who owns quite a lot of property and has worked in the bank for many years, is not short of this money. He sold the stock to Shao Bo at the market price, which is to fulfill what Shao Bo did with him when he renewed his contract. agreement.

And after Old Hill sold his shares to Shao Bo, he was already considered a polished commander. Apart from receiving a salary as the chairman of the club every day, he had no other benefits from the team.

The Hill Wood family has served as the chairman of Arsenal for three consecutive generations, and it can be said that it has been the leader since World War II.

Although after many gifts and sales, Old Hill only had less than 5% of the shares left in his hands, and even after selling this share to Shao Bo, he had no shares in his hands, but his influence is still immeasurable. People dare to ignore.

But he is also too old. The age of 65 is enough to make many people have thoughts that have never appeared in their hearts-for example, he should be the chairman.

It's just that this undercurrent still hasn't erupted, perhaps, it hasn't found a suitable time yet.

Relying on past accumulation, Shao Bo also successfully entered the board of directors this summer and became a member of it.

Some things will not be known until that level, just like Shao Bo did not know before he actually joined the board of directors. It turns out that the proposal for the construction of the new stadium was put forward as early as 1999, but it has always been The game is going on, and this plan has only been finally confirmed in the near future.

Because Highbury only has [-] seats, and the nearby conditions also limit them-Highbury can no longer be expanded.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is not enough to compete with Manchester United, so David Dane proposed to relocate the stadium to Wembley. He believes that the resources needed for the construction of the new stadium must not be based on sacrificing the cost and foundation of team building. .

However, this was opposed by the majority of the board of directors. Although Shao Bo had never received any news about it, he believed that even he himself would not be willing to do this.

David Dane has a dual leadership role in the FA and Arsenal. If Arsenal moved to Wembley and shared a stadium with the FA, it would definitely be of great benefit to maintain and increase his personal power, but What about Arsenal?
Arsenal's roots are in North London!
Although they originated in the Woolwich area on the south bank of the Thames, they have taken root here for nearly a century since they moved to Illington, North London before World War I.

Arsenal's fans are mainly based in North London. Should they go to Wembley, a suburb of London, to watch the game in the future?
You know, Highbury is in the urban area of ​​North London, but what about Wembley?It is in West London, which is close to the suburbs. The difference between the two is too far. This is not betraying the fans, but betraying the fans!
This is unacceptable to Shao Bo, thanks to the fact that he didn't know about it because he didn't enter the circle of the board of directors before, otherwise he might also join the opposing army, which will definitely affect Shao Bo and David · Dane's previous friendship.

This must be mixed with David Dane's personal selfishness, but Shao Bo can understand it, although he will definitely not agree.

Simply speaking, David Dane still has the ability, and Shao Bo doesn't know where to find a more suitable candidate for the club manager.

Therefore, even if he buys the team in the future, he still does not want to part ways with David.

……

Although they won the championship, there are still the last few games this season.

Having won the championship, their undefeated golden stature has also been broken by Liverpool, so what Arsenal have to do in the last few games is to relax as much as possible and give young players more opportunities to exercise.

It was nothing at first, but the media still paid great attention to the next game of Arsenal, which has already won the championship. This kind of attention is not only for the Arsenal team, but for the two teams of Arsenal and Manchester United." Formed by the influence of Tianwang Mountain Showdown".

According to the Premier League schedule, the second game between Arsenal and Manchester United this season will be played in the 37th round.

Originally, Ferguson thought that the two sides would inevitably fight for the championship at this time. Who would have thought that Arsenal started the unbeaten journey early. After giving up both the FA Cup and the FA Cup, they can no longer catch up with Arsenal in multi-line combat.

The only good thing is that they have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, which is much better than Arsenal's failure to advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

What makes Ferguson depressed is that apart from Shao Bo completing the defending league title for the second time, there is also a Premier League tradition that they need to follow.

Premier League, no!This is a tradition that has been handed down since the League One era. They have to send a welcome ceremony in line to applaud the league champion Arsenal who won the championship in advance.

And it is the Manchester United team that created this tradition!

That year, Drake led Chelsea to win the English First Division Championship for the first time one round ahead of schedule.In the last game, Chelsea challenged Manchester United at Old Trafford.

At that time, Manchester United coach Sir Busby ordered all the players to line up at the entrance to welcome the Chelsea players to enter the stadium to express their respect for the king.

This tradition, which originated in 1955, has been passed down until today.

In 1991, when the Premier League was still in League One, Arsenal won the championship of the season, and then in the match against Manchester United, the Red Devils paid tribute to the team at Ferguson's instruction, and Manchester United, headed by Robson, applauded the champion Arsenal.

Ten years later, Manchester United met Arsenal, which had already won the league title, again. Of course, Ferguson could not violate this tradition, so he had to continue to follow the precedent.

Although this is not a mandatory requirement of the FA, it is indeed an unspoken rule in the Premier League.

Although Manchester United have lined up for Arsenal to welcome them, they have also received other team's line-up ceremonies. It can only be said that according to the schedule, it happened that Arsenal met Manchester United after winning the championship twice in advance. Next, this can be considered luck.

Of course, the old man never forgot revenge.After they lined up to welcome Arsenal back then, they almost monopolized the Premier League title for several years until Shao Bo appeared.

I am afraid that Manchester United will have to try their luck again next season in order to make a comeback next season.

Of course, sometimes it's not just about lining up to pay tribute to the league champion.In the 93/94 season, Newcastle played against the European Cup Winners' Cup champion Arsenal at St. James' Park.

It's a military etiquette, a way of paying homage to an opponent, but it's clear some players are uncomfortable.

Before queuing up, Family Neville discussed with Ferguson whether he could be absent from the ceremony. He didn't want to see Henry and the others walk in front of him arrogantly.

After listening to Gary Neville's complaint quietly, Ferguson asked coldly: "Is it over?"
It was only then that Gary Neville realized that Ferguson was definitely unwilling to do this, but how could he change what he had already decided?
Neville, who regretted it, wanted to slap himself, but at this time he could only bow his head and admit his mistake to Ferguson, saying that he would definitely go to the parade ceremony before the opening.

Ferguson didn't pay attention to Gary Neville at this time, and waved his hand to show that he knew.Neville breathed a sigh of relief, went back to his place and tied his shoelaces again, lowered his head, for fear that Ferguson would think of himself again.

"You don't want to do that, do you?"

Looking around the locker room, Ferguson said.

Um?The Manchester United players in the locker room saw Ferguson started to speak, and quickly stopped what they were doing and looked at him.

I saw Ferguson continued to say with a blank face: "Welcome in line, do you think I am willing to do such a humiliating thing? Do you think I am willing to line up for that kid who is less than 30 years old? This is Sir Busby's order." We can only abide by the traditional tradition. But..., counting this year, Arsenal have let me line up for them twice. This is an unbearable humiliation! I want you to bring me back the league championship next season! "

In the end, the voice became louder and louder, and all the spitting stars sprayed on Neville, who was closer.Although he saw all this, he didn't have the courage to erase it in front of Ferguson, so he could only bear with his head down.

Of course, after leaving the locker room, Ferguson didn't have any other abnormalities except his face was flushed, and everyone was used to the roar in the Manchester United locker room, so they didn't think much about it.

Before the game kicked off, Manchester United came out first, standing in two rows at the door of the players' tunnel.The Arsenal players appeared after them, walked slowly, listened to the applause from both sides, and looked at the helpless faces of their old opponents - not to mention how cool it was!
Although Arsenal lost this game, it was only because they did not send all their main players to the field.They have already won the league championship, and now they hope that the players can rest at the end of the season to relieve the fatigue of a season and prepare for the next season.

As for the victory over Manchester United, come on, they stole Manchester United's league title, isn't that enough to win?For an unimportant game, Shao Bo didn't care much about the battle of spirits.

As a winner, he has the right to feign tolerance.

　After checking the information, I found out that Dane also has two sides... It's a lot of pressure, but fortunately, the previous ones haven't been revised yet, please ask for a ticket and a reward!
