Chapter 203 The First Stage Death Team

Arsenal is not the only club in London.

In addition to Chelsea, Tottenham and other well-known teams in the world, there are more than ten professional teams in London of different sizes and scales.

Every game day, the London City Hall needs to study how to deal with this fan group of as many as 50 to [-] people.

They are in groups, either driving or passing through the train and subway, bringing huge traffic pressure to London.Then there will be a large amount of household garbage left behind when leaving, wine bottles and food packaging bags are everywhere.

Not to mention those fans who like to get drunk and make trouble after the game, otherwise, why would there be such a police station near the stadiums of major clubs?

More fans can bring more benefits to the club, but for the City of London, it means more trouble.

Most of them are still citizens of England, and the proportion of foreign tourists on each match day is not much.Even if they don't go to watch it live, they may choose to watch TV at home or make other consumptions.

But once they go to watch the game, these fans may change from law-abiding good citizens to football hooligans who disrupt social order!

Although so many years have passed, the Hillsborough tragedy is still in the memory of many old people.

A stadium of 8 people is really too big.

You must know that apart from Arsenal's Highbury Stadium, the other football stadiums have gone through nearly a hundred years of ups and downs. If other clubs want to apply for the construction of a new stadium, can the London City Hall not approve it?
I can build a stadium with 8 people for your family... If this continues, the pressure on London will be even greater.

Therefore, taking advantage of the new century, they simply use Arsenal's new stadium as the standard.Originally, the British legal system followed the path of customary law and case law. With Arsenal as an example, it will also facilitate the construction of new stadiums for other clubs in the future.

Of course, the staff in charge of approval will not reveal that he is a Tottenham Hotspur fan, but he just doesn't like Arsenal and wants to set up obstacles for them.

At that time, Tottenham Hotspur's team name was derived from Shakespeare's works, and the club was relatively more corresponding to the middle class.

And Arsenal means "Arsenal", which of course represents the working class.

With the changes of the times, although these have changed, among the older generation of fans, the class division is still very clear.

Many officials in London are fans of Tottenham Hotspur, commercially they are inclined to Chelsea, and the vast majority of workers are fans of Arsenal.

Since the 8-person stadium cannot get the approval of the London City Hall, they can only settle for the next best thing and drop to the level of 5000 people.

Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium is almost at this level, Shao Bo does not want the team to be much worse than Manchester United in this respect.

If it is still designed as the original Emirates Stadium, it is only a standard of more than [-] people, which is a full [-] spectators less than Old Trafford.

In the case of the same ticket price, Arsenal will get close to 1000 million pounds less than Manchester United in this aspect every year!

Thanks to David Dane who is still working at the FA, Old Hill's network is also extensive enough.

As the current largest shareholder of the club, Fitzman also has many years of experience in dealing with the government. The strength of this diamond dealer cannot be underestimated. Shao Bo's biggest enemy when he joined the board of directors was also this person, but now the two The contradiction has not yet been revealed, and the hidden undercurrent is slowly flowing.

Arsenal are currently busy with the new stadium, Shao Bo's shortcoming lies in the communication with all levels of government in London and local residents-he does not have enough time to cultivate contacts and trustworthy helpers.

Thomas is busy with Shao Bo's business empire alone. The humanoid function of this unreliable system has exceeded Shao Bo's expectations.

Whether it is a public consultation or approval by the local council, and then passed to the Mayor of London and the Home Secretary for review, it will take time.

In a simple calculation, it is estimated that construction is unlikely to start this year.When Shao Bo saw that so many processes were required to build a stadium, he was really afraid-if he bought the team early, he might not be able to complete this task in another 20 years by virtue of his familiarity here.

Has Abrahimovic not paid for Chelsea to build a new stadium?

It is because many local residents have expressed their opposition to Abramovich's taking over. Before Shao Bo crossed, even the public approval had not been obtained, and the new stadium was nowhere in sight.

Having learned from experience and lessons, Shao Bo is now watching the progress of the new stadium advance bit by bit, and he can coach the team more easily.

This season has only played a few games, and Shao Bo needs to take a plane to participate in the draw ceremony of the Champions League.

To be honest, he doesn't like to go to this kind of draw ceremony now. Anyway, Arsenal's current goal is not to win the Champions League. They have to go step by step.

The Champions League is to be won, but the current schedule of winning the championship is too tight and the difficulty is too high.

After the reform of the Champions League, when the two-stage group stage is turned into one stage, although there will be more variables in the knockout stage, they will have less pressure on the schedule.

Last season, Leeds United stole the limelight as the only team in England that successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League. Football is like this. With results, although they are not popular in many ways, the media always Will use long and long articles to promote them.

Fortunately, Arsenal won the league championship last season, while Manchester United lost to their opponents on penalties when they competed with the current Champions League winner Bayern Munich for the semi-finals.

It is said that under normal circumstances, there is no pressure to draw lots. In the two-stage group stage schedule, Arsenal is basically the same as many strong teams, and can steadily advance to the second stage.

Now, on average, each group consists of two strong teams and two weak teams. It will be the second stage of the group stage when the major teams will compete fiercely!

The only thing worth noting is that Real Madrid, Roma and Leverkusen are in a group. They can be regarded as a death group, but the point is that Roma and Leverkusen can break through to the first place. The tight encirclement of the group stage.

No one dares to imagine that Real Madrid can't break through the first stage of the group stage-after all, they were selected by FIFA as the greatest club of the 20th century.

Liverpool surpassed Chelsea to qualify for the Champions League. This time they have not stood in the Champions League for a long time. The club's high-level struggle for many years has also achieved a relatively satisfactory result.

After the stabilized Liverpool returned to the Champions League, they hope to restore the glory of the past and let the world see the demeanor of the team that defended the Champions League!
In order to go further in the Champions League this year, Leeds United made extensive purchases. At that time, they spared no expense to compete with Manchester United for Ruud van Nistelrooy, but they did not compete with Ferguson.

Their financial situation is not good enough. If there is any problem in the Champions League this time, they will face the tragic fate of bankruptcy and liquidation!
Shao Bo knew this, but he was not interested in running over to remind the other party that it would be too much pressure to bet on the results in the Champions League, and it was not worth it.

Even if there was an example of Leeds United before, didn't this happen to Dortmund later?After years of recuperation, Dortmund, who relied on youth players as the main body, returned to the European arena.

Some new fans even think that Dortmund is just a new team every two years, and they don't even know that they have won the Champions League!
Arsenal are in a group with Greek team Panathinaikos, Bundesliga's Schalke 04 and Lazio.

When the results of the lottery came out, a group of death really appeared in the first stage!
Among other things, Panathinaikos may be less powerful, but the strength gap between Schalke 04, Lazio and Arsenal is not as big as imagined.

Arsenal are doing well now, and Schalke 04 also won the UEFA Cup last season.

And what about Lazio?They overwhelmed their rivals in the same city, Rome, and won their first championship since the new century!Roma lost to their opponents by only one point.

Lazio, which purchased many players, expanded aggressively after tasting the sweetness. Originally, Shao Bo had selected a few good players, but he was not Lazio's opponent at all when bidding.

Faced with this kind of local tyrant, Shao Bo was simply unable to bid with him and could only give up.

When Shao Bo got off the plane and returned to London, he learned that the final scale of the new stadium had been established.

Under the instructions of the London City Hall, the size of Arsenal's new stadium was finally reduced to [-], which is already very good. The construction of a new large stadium in such a prosperous area in North London involves many places.

According to rumors from tabloid reporters, Arsenal's new stadium has also attracted the attention of the Queen of England, otherwise the scale of 7 people will not be kept!

These are the main framework. After the number of people is established, they can choose a company for the design, construction and other things of the new stadium.

The only thing that makes Shao Bo unhappy is that in the London approval document, it is clearly stated that no expansion is allowed.

However, these seats are enough. Although compared with Manchester United's Old Trafford, they still have more than [-] fewer people, but you must know that Old Trafford is in the suburbs of Manchester. And they are in the city of London!
Neither the price of the land nor the importance of the location of the two can be simply compared. Generally speaking, in the future, Arsenal will definitely surpass Manchester United in terms of profits from the new stadium alone.
