Chapter 360 Goodbye, Our Highbury
After that, Arsenal ushered in the second person who had a very significant impact on the club-Sir Chapman, Arsenal's greatest coach before Shao Bo came.

After beginning to coach the team in 1925, Chapman immediately began to preside over the modernization and expansion of Highbury Stadium.Two Art Deco designers, Ferrier and Beene, were commissioned to renovate the stadium.

The canopy was added to the North Stand and the elegant marble foyer was built on the East Stand, both architectural and decorative innovations that were revolutionary for their time.

At the time, Arsenal's Highbury was the most advanced stadium in the world.

Correspondingly, Arsenal also quickly climbed to the first peak in the history of the team. Chapman also helped the team win three consecutive championships in addition to building construction.

This is Arsenal's first three consecutive championships. According to the saying "three consecutive championships make a dynasty", Arsenal also created the first dynasty in European football.

The original WM formation created by Chapman also made the first dynasty appear in the history of English football.Highbury Stadium is known around the world as the "Home of Football".

This is the first background that Arsenal can call a giant!
In the face of the huge influence brought by the huge success, Chapman met with the relevant responsible persons of the local subway company in 1932 and changed the name of the subway station to Arsenal.

"Who ever heard of Gillespie Road, it's just Arsenal."

This is a famous quote from Sir Chapman, very domineering.

Arsenal were the most successful club in England at the time, and they attracted the most fans.At its peak, Arsenal can even attract more than [-] players to watch a game.This record has not been achieved even today when Shao Bo is coaching.

Fans all choose Highbury to watch the game on match day, and the subway company can also get more ticket revenue.

This is a win-win thing, so in November 1932 the name of the subway officially changed to Arsenal.

And because of the huge influence of Arsenal and the great charm of Sir Chapman, the subway company paid for all the replacement of road signs and subway drawings, and the upgrade of the ticket machine system out of its own pocket.

Although at that time Europe was facing an extremely severe economic crisis.

This economic crisis brought down Hoover and the Weimar Republic, and brought up Roosevelt and Hitler. . . .

In 1934, Chapman, one of Arsenal's greatest coaches, died of illness, and World War II broke out a few years later.

The Premier League has thus largely come to a standstill.

With the opening of the curtain of World War II, both Arsenal and Highbury Stadium began their most difficult years.

Due to the national preparations for the war, many stadiums with advanced facilities were requisitioned by the government during the war.

Highbury Stadium was also requisitioned by the Royal Air Force and converted into an air raid prevention center for the whole of London.

At that time, the prevention center would use the turf of the stadium to conduct preventive drills twice a day, and the roof of the West Stand was used as an air raid shelter. It can cover 500 people here. It seems that 500, [-] people are a drop in the bucket compared to the millions of people in London, but This is also one of the best facilities nearby.

The East Stand, with its elegant marble steps, serves as a first aid center, while the stadium's changing rooms are used as a first aid room.

Some of the other houses in the stadium are used as an anti-virus room to prevent the German gas attack, while the other part is the dormitory for medical staff and nurses.

A large number of emptied materials are piled up near the North Stand.By 1940, soldiers in continental Europe were in short supply, and countless refugees flooded into the UK. At one point, the stadium accommodated about [-] refugees from the Netherlands and Belgium.

After the defeat at Dunkirk, Highbury really came in handy.

With the national crisis ahead, even Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have to put aside past feuds.

Arsenal were "homeless" because they gave up their home ground for anti-aircraft defenses. In the end, Tottenham agreed to use their White Hart Lane as Arsenal's home ground.

The reason why Tottenham can retain their home court is simply because their facilities are not as advanced as their neighbor Highbury, and they are not favored by the British military.

But anyway, for five years or so, the Derby teams had to share the same stadium.Now the League One game has been suspended, only the occasional regional game is still maintained.

The war basically made it difficult for all clubs in England to operate normally.

But the charm of football is still strong.Mussolini even announced in a call that Arsenal's number one star Bastin was captured by the Italian army.

Fortunately, the news soon proved to be false. Bastin stayed in the country to serve because of his hearing problems and never went abroad.

After the war, in August 1946, the English league finally fully resumed.

Arsenal was finally able to return to their home court and say goodbye to White Hart Lane.

After the war, because of some legendary stories that happened in the North Stand during World War II, it gradually became a gathering place for Arsenal's diehard fans.

However, after the war, entertainment programs also increased, and people found that going to the stadium to watch football was not the only option.

Arsenal's attendance has never broken through to a high of [-] again.

Moreover, the many violent incidents and the problems of old equipment in the stadium, most of which were before World War I or even earlier, made English football even more silent.

After the Hillsborough tragedy, the FA made up their minds to carry out rectification.

The "Taylor Act" came out, and Arsenal must convert all standing seats into seats.

After the remodeling, Highbury no longer has the hypnotic frenetic atmosphere of the early days of "Fever".

Because of this, Highbury's capacity was fixed at [-].

Moreover, after nearly a century of development, the surrounding area of ​​Highbury is surrounded by residential buildings, and it is difficult to expand even if it wants to expand.

The East Stand is listed as a historical and cultural heritage building by the City of London because of its simple and elegant architectural decoration style. The club has no right to expand and rebuild.

Originally, the East Stand belonged to Arsenal's property, but the London City Hall ordered it, and the club could only obey.

In the mid-90s, Shao Bo took advantage of the internal turmoil in the club to become Arsenal's head coach after Graham's scandal broke.

And he became the last Arsenal manager at Highbury Stadium.

The arrival of Shao Bo helped the team to keep the top two in the stable and compete with Manchester United for the Premier League title.

As the team returned to the championship lineup, and now and then a championship trophy was started, the board finally decided to build a new stadium.

At this point, Highbury's fate has been decided, the only question is when.

Today, the footsteps of fate have set foot on Highbury's stadium.

They only have one last game left.

And Arsenal's opponent in this game is their century-old enemy Tottenham Hotspur.

Tottenham Hotspur are still sinking this season, but they are not without threatening Arsenal's strength-Manchester United fell into the hands of the relegation team, and lost a precious three points for Arsenal to chase come up.

In the Premier League, any outcome is possible.

The game between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur is destined to be hot.And because the last round of the Premier League will determine the winner of the Premier League champion this season, it is destined to attract attention.

Manchester United played against Fulham, needless to say they have a great chance of winning.

What people care about is whether Tottenham Hotspur can complete the task of blocking Arsenal away.

This one is not entrusted to them by Manchester United, but a task that Tottenham Hotspur itself must complete.

This game is the last official game hosted by Highbury Stadium. After Arsenal finished playing here, they will prepare to go to Germany for training, and go to Schalke and Manchester United to compete for the European championship trophy this season.

If Tottenham succeed in beating Arsenal here, then Highbury will not be perfect either.

Arsenal have not brought London a Champions League trophy so far, which in itself is considered a regret belonging to Highbury.

However, as a mortal enemy, Tottenham Hotspur does not mind helping Arsenal make a few more regrets.

Today's Tottenham Hotspur can't overwhelm Arsenal, at least they can make trouble.

Therefore, even if they beat Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur will not have the chance to participate in the European war. The players who came out of the deadly enemy White Hart Lane still have to play this role well.

……

The game was very difficult.

Originally, for the sake of fairness, the last round of the Premier League games started at the same time.

With Manchester United leading by three goal difference, if Arsenal want to win the championship, they must beat Tottenham Hotspur and get at least four goal difference!

This is based on the fact that Manchester United can also win.

If they lose or draw then Arsenal's goal difference is not needed.

In short, for the championship, Arsenal must strive for a big victory in this game!
The Highbury Stadium is full of seats. In this last season, the stadium has basically achieved 100% attendance.

Even Dortmund and Bayern Munich can't do it, although these two teams often pride themselves on the high attendance rate of their stadiums.

It's just that Shao Bo is sitting on the coach's bench now, frowning.

Because Arsenal are behind!

If Arsenal loses this game, then Manchester United only needs to draw or even lose as well. As long as the goal difference exceeds Arsenal, they can win the championship. This is the most unfavorable result for Arsenal!

As for Manchester United, they have now scored a goal, and it seems that victory is in sight.

Is it going to lose in the last game?Loser or Tottenham Hotspur, which has been suppressed by Arsenal for many years?

After the start of the second half, Shao Bo decisively replaced three players who were not in good condition.

Then, 1:1, the score was equalized.

2:1, reversal!

Arsenal beat Tottenham Hotspur for a precious three points!
At the end of the game, Shao Bo stared at the cheering fans in the stands of the stadium in a daze, as if he wanted to imprint all of them in his mind.

　The third update!In addition, the teacher gave some suggestions for revising the thesis. I was so depressed and had to revise the thesis.The fourth update...will be posted later.Maybe tomorrow morning, let's go to bed first.
