Chapter 352 Dragon Battle

The top four compete for hegemony, and fight in pairs to compete for the qualifications to enter the finals.

Now that the Champions League game has entered the later stage, the same is true for this year's Premier League.

For Shaobo, the only problem before they play Porto is that Arsenal are still behind Manchester United.

Fortunately, the point difference behind has been narrowed by Arsenal to two points. Maybe it only takes one game for them to reverse and become the number one in the standings.

It's just that Manchester United will not give Arsenal more opportunities now. When they hit the semi-finals, they also played against strong teams such as Chelsea and Newcastle. Naturally, it is difficult to get all three points.

Arsenal also put a lot of energy into the Champions League during this period, and because of this, Arsenal and Manchester United were a little powerless when they met directly for the second time in this Premier League.

A draw would naturally not satisfy Shao Bo, but with the more important task of the Champions League, Shao Bo could only accept the result of this match.

Shao Bo originally counted on Eriksson and the others to fight for their breath, and they no longer have the task of the Champions League. Can Chelsea still beat Manchester United?

Who knows, these teams, as if they were indifferent to the world, did not put too much pressure on Manchester United.And next, the opponents of Manchester United and Arsenal are weak chickens, and they may be able to win a complete victory.

Now, just see who will be the first to expose the problem and make a mistake.

Only a stable team can win the final championship.

During this period of time, Shao Bo has been swinging left and right, thinking about which route Arsenal should take.

Whether to fight for the Champions League, or win the Premier League, or both.

He would consider this question at the beginning of each season, and always wanted to win all the championships at the beginning.

However, as the situation continues to change, Shao Bo will always be affected by the fluctuations in the standings and the strength of other teams, and the established goals will always change.

This year's situation is good, Arsenal has reached the semi-finals.

There is nothing to say about this, Shao Bo will definitely go all out to fight for the Champions League.

Just the Premier League?
Do you want to hand over the Premier League trophy?

Let Manchester United complete the defense of the Premier League?

Shao Bo didn't want to do this, but Manchester United now has the upper hand. Only when Arsenal wins the next game can they have a chance to complete the reversal.

The pressure is not small, but he has to work hard.

Before considering the next Premier League schedule, Shao Bo is also ready to go to the Dragon Stadium in Porto to get the tickets for the Champions League final.

The Dragon Stadium, which can accommodate more than 12 people, was only opened by Porto in December last year as a new stadium.

Therefore, this stadium is just a "little baby" who is less than half a year old, and the equipment in it is very advanced and brand new.

Over the years, with the changes of the times, rich and poor clubs have begun to build new stadiums.

If you don't have money, don't let the new stadium drag you down. If the investment is too large for a rich club, you will have to live in tight clothes for a while.

Seeing Porto's new stadium, Shao Bo thought of Arsenal's new stadium that is about to open to the world.

Regarding the naming of the new stadium, Shao Bo is going to choose to accept the title sponsorship.

Otherwise, it is definitely inappropriate to continue the name "Highbury", and the old stadium will soon be scrapped and a real estate project will be built.

No matter how you say it, the new stadium cannot have the same name as the old stadium.

The situation at Arsenal and Porto is different.

Porto's Dragon Stadium did not accept title sponsorship and still maintained its original name.

But there is a reason for this. Who told Porto that their new stadium was built on the original site of the old stadium, but Arsenal moved to a new location!
Although the new place is not too far from Highbury, it's just two steps away.

Moreover, the name of this giant dragon does not think that Highbury itself is just a simple place name. It is because of Arsenal's long history here that it has given Highbury a profound connotation.

In Portugal, there is a legend about the "dragon".

Legend has it that a giant dragon wants to occupy the mines on both sides of the Douro River, because it often spews flames, and everyone has nothing to do with it.

However, the Porto people finally used the water of the Douro River in their hometown to extinguish the flames of the dragon, so the dragon became the servant and protector of the Porto people, and helped the Porto people repel many enemy aggressions.

Since then, many Porto people have said that they are the children of the dragon, and named their stadium with "Dragon".

If the Porto club wants to change its name, the price will be too high.

Not to mention anything else, it will definitely be opposed by a considerable number of local fans.

……

Shao Bo is not good at real estate projects related to the reconstruction of Highbury Stadium, so he just let it go.

The only problem is that in Shao Bo's memory, there will be a financial turmoil in 2008, which will affect the real estate projects built by Arsenal.

As a result, the club's capital chain was tight, which led the team to sell players on a large scale in order to repay the debt, tearing apart the originally strong and extremely competitive team.

So in this project, Shao Bo has only one requirement, and that is to complete it as soon as possible!
The name "Highbury" cannot be used on the new stadium, so according to the traditional naming principles of English stadiums, "Islington Park Stadium" is a generally acceptable choice.

Although Arsenal is in this area.

It's just that, simply doing this will not bring any benefits to Arsenal.If you choose this name, it is better to carry out a global audition voting, let Arsenal fans all over the world design a name for the team, and then hand it over to the club to choose.

Such an event can also play a publicity role for the club.

However, this kind of audition activity has advantages and disadvantages, and was eventually abandoned by Shao Bo.

In order to pay off those debts earlier, Shao Bo finally chose to name him.

Naming rights have been sold, negotiations have come to an end, and everything is just waiting for the stadium's unveiling day.

In the Dragon Stadium, the sloping roof allows the sun to shine on the grass.

It's just that when the Champions League game started, the afterglow of the setting sun had already faded away, and only bright lights shone on the lawn.The renovation that cost close to [-] million euros was not in vain, and the scientifically designed and reasonable lighting will not affect the fans' viewing experience at all.

In order to watch this Champions League game, tens of thousands of fans took buses, subways, and drove their own cars to the Antasi subway station and walked into the stadium.

The transparent roof, which consumes nearly 300 million tons of steel, cannot cover the lights on the roof. From a distance, it seems that the stadium is wearing a bright and shiny hat.

Fans checked in from the square surrounding the stadium, and some foreign tourists who were not in a hurry to enter the stadium deliberately walked around.

Many Porto local fans who did not buy tickets also drank coffee leisurely in the square.

At the small open-air coffee stand on the square, looking at the big screen that is constantly rotating on the square-this is set up by the club to take care of the fans who did not enter the stadium.

When the game starts, these two screens will also broadcast everything happening in the stadium in real time.

In any case, it is also the first stadium in Portugal rated as a five-star stadium by UEFA, which is qualified to host the Champions League final. The Dragon Stadium is indeed luxurious.

Even if Shao Bo stood in the locker room prepared for the visiting team, he couldn't fault him.

Even by the ultra-luxe standards of the new stadium Arsenal have built.

In this stadium that made Shao Bo extremely satisfied, Shao Bo and Mourinho met in the player tunnel.

The two are about to command their respective teams to directly confront each other in the game. At this time, neither of them is in the mood to exchange pleasantries.

Standing on the sidelines, shaking hands symbolically, the players also walked into the field one by one behind them.

Under the shining stars above the night sky, the match between Arsenal and Porto begins!

Meanwhile, in faraway Manchester, Manchester United is also hosting the "Galacticos" Real Madrid.

This is the first time that Beckham, who has attracted much attention, has returned to Manchester United, and because the combined star effect of Manchester United and Real Madrid far exceeds that of Arsenal and Porto, everyone pays more attention to the game in the north.

At this time, online video was not very popular. Few people would sit in front of a computer, open two windows, and watch two games at the same time.

With both TVs on at the same time, it's even less likely.

Porto chose the 4312 tactic in this game, with double defensive midfielders in the backcourt. Deco organization, Marcheni, Valente and Ferreira all had good insertions, long shots and assists. Ability.

This team as a whole has a certain offensive ability from the frontcourt to the backcourt. After studying many Porto games, Shao Bo knows the power of this lineup.

Moreover, not only the attack line is strong, but their defense is even more solid.

The old goalkeeper Barry has excellent skills. He led the team to win the UEFA Cup last season, and his strength has long been affirmed in his career for many years.

These guys are not going to be able to make a big fortune casually.

With Bayern Munich as a lesson from the past, Shao Bo does not want to make the same mistake again.

Fortunately, Arsenal's lineup can also be ranked among the top in Europe. With these players under him, Shao Bo is confident of defeating Mourinho!

Before the start of the game, Arsenal had given priority to the ball because they won the coin guessing prize.

Today they are trying to find opportunities to score goals, and because of the lessons of Bayern Munich, even in offense, Arsenal will not forget to protect their defense.

Both Shao Bo and Mourinho are sitting in the coaching bench now, the game has just started, and it is not yet tense.

All the pre-match work has been done to the best, and Shao Bo can only sit here.At this time, Shao Bo even thought of the game between Manchester United and Real Madrid.

"I don't know how they are playing there. Who will be their opponent in the final?"
