Chapter 361 The Narrow Path of Destiny

Witnessed the inheritance and glory of several generations of Arsenal, and witnessed the dark history of missing the league championship for up to 18 years.

Highbury, who has gone through ups and downs with Arsenal in 91, is about to part with the club now.

After the last game, Arsenal won.

However, Arsenal and Manchester United have the same points. If Manchester United also wins, because Arsenal's goal difference is not enough, if Manchester United also wins, they will lose the chance to win the league championship.

Now the Arsenal game is over first, but neither the fans nor the members of the coaching staff or the players have left, and they are still lingering in Highbury.

Among them is the reluctance to give up on the stadium, as well as the anxiety that the game at Old Trafford has not yet ended.

Arsenal defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2:1 and only got a goal difference. They don't expect to win on goal difference.

However, United are not yet at the end of their final Premier League game of the season.

Manchester United is now tied with their opponents, and once the game is over, they will only be able to score one point.

Arsenal will surpass Manchester United with a two-point advantage, complete the reversal and take the first place in the league.

The time is passing by every minute and every second. The game between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur only took 2 minutes of stoppage time. When the time came, the referee did not hesitate and immediately blew the whistle whistle.

But Manchester United was different. Under the tremendous pressure of Ferguson and Old Trafford, the referee awarded 5 minutes of stoppage time.

However, 5 minutes passed and Manchester United failed to score.

Mobile phone information, radio... Even in the Highbury Stadium, Arsenal fans can also learn about the game hundreds of miles away through various modern devices.

Manchester United is running out of time, victory is at hand!

After 5 minutes passed, Manchester United got another chance for a corner kick. This was Manchester United's last chance.

If the goal is not scored, no matter how long the stoppage time is, it should be over.

Gary Neville stood in the penalty area, his sweat-soaked jersey pressed tightly against his body, and he felt a little out of breath under the heavy pressure of the game.

Teammate free throw!

Watching the ball fly towards him, Gary Neville wanted to rush up and head the goal, but his left leg was slightly tilted, and he didn't find the right position when he jumped up.

Gary Neville head-on the ball and headed it against the woodwork.

Then the ball was cleared by the defender with a big kick. This last corner kick failed!

Manchester United tied with only one point. Arsenal successfully defeated Manchester United with a two-point advantage and became the Premier League champion this season!
Highbury was originally surrounded by the sadness of parting, but at this moment, it was diluted by the joy of Arsenal winning the league championship again!

Got it!
Arsenal succeeded in winning the league again this season, and Manchester United will certainly regret their mistakes in this last game.

The Premier League trophy has appeared six times in the ancient stadium of Highbury. After Arsenal won the Premier League again, Highbury also surpassed Old Trafford and became the stadium with the most Premier League championship trophies. .

And if you count the ten championship trophies in the League One era, Arsenal also maintains the second place in the UK with [-] top league titles in England.

And Arsenal are only two away from the [-] English top league championship trophies maintained by Liverpool.

Of course, Arsenal's shortcoming is still the zero achievement in the Champions League that everyone can laugh at.

Just reaching the Champions League final once is not enough.

Even a Champions League champion is not enough to support a European giant.

However, Arsenal still have to step up training after the last Premier League game of the season and after the Premier League championship award ceremony.

Highbury wasn't sealed off after the game.

It is not far from the day when this ancient stadium will be demolished, so after the game, the club decided to increase the opening hours, allowing tourists and fans to leave their last memories here.

Of course, if Arsenal can get the Champions League trophy this season, they will inevitably hold a grand celebration ceremony in Highbury.

This is what any Arsenal fan living in the Islington area will want to see.

However, they have to fly to the Schalke Stadium first to watch the team's last game of the season, which is also the final of the Champions League.

Both Arsenal and Manchester United reached the final of the Champions League. Another civil war in the Premier League made the media shout that the era of the Premier League has come.

However, what is even more concerning is that in the 98-99 season, Arsenal lost to Manchester United, giving their opponents a chance to complete the Treble.

Will they make the same mistake this time around?
Retractable and advanced roof, movable lawn, huge TV wall cube, international leading lighting system...all of these constitute a six-star Schalke stadium that can even be evaluated by UEFA .

Schalke 04 built the stadium at a cost of [-] million euros.

If it weren't for the fact that other things such as land prices in London are more expensive, perhaps Arsenal's new stadium would not cost as much as Schalke 04.

Fortunately, the Schalke 04 club built a new stadium long before the Bundesliga had economic problems.

Otherwise, the team will definitely be dragged down by the overall environment like Dortmund now.

Arsenal are currently training in Dortmund's training base. They would like to choose Schalke 04's training base, but who made both sides have some unpleasantness in recent games.

Manchester United has already made contact with Schalke 04, they chose there, and Arsenal will naturally not be crowded together.

There is no choice but to choose Dortmund's training base, which is not in the same city, but very similar.

Dortmund is about half an hour's drive from Schalke, which is not too far away.

Dortmund's current financial situation is not good. Arsenal will pay him a certain amount of money when they come here to solve their urgent needs.

Moreover, Arsenal has now reached several agreements with Dortmund, transfers between players, mutual assistance agreements, etc.

Don't take advantage of the time when Dortmund is in decline and urgently needs money, and when will Arsenal recruit a few more players with sufficient strength?

After this Champions League match, Arsenal still have the task of next season. Don't they improve and replenish their strength?
It's not that the team will disband after the game is over, so plan ahead, and Arsenal also have to prepare for the next season.

The transfer period is coming soon, and it's too late to negotiate now.

But the focus is still on the final of the Champions League. If this game is won, Arsenal will get millions of euros more in championship bonuses. They will also further pay off the stadium's debts and purchase more competitive players.

However, everything is based on defeating Manchester United and winning the European Champions Cup.

Dortmund defeated Juventus in the 90s and won the Champions League trophy once.

Arsenal came here also hoping to take advantage of their good luck.

Although this is somewhat superstitious, in the eyes of many people, it can play a real role.Shao Bo didn't believe this, but he felt that if he could increase the confidence of the players psychologically, it would not be in vain.

Arsenal and Manchester United have three direct matches this season, and this Champions League final is the third.

Only after winning this game, can Arsenal say that they have successfully suppressed Manchester United this season, and Shao Bo dare to say that he has completely defeated Ferguson this season.

England and Germany have historical issues, but in terms of clubs, German fans are also curious about English teams that they seldom see.

For this reason, Shao Bo specially opened two days of training.

Anyway, there is about half a month of training before the game, which is enough for Arsenal to make adequate preparations.

And it was only open for two days because Shao Bo was worried that his tactical intentions would be noticed by interested people.

So although the two days were open, the players didn't do any training that was too secret.

The German fans didn't make too many demands. After seeing the Arsenal players signing their autographs without any airs, their favorability for this unfamiliar club, Arsenal, greatly increased.

After Germany lost the World Cup in 2002, the entire German football world set off a wave of reform.

So although Dortmund's financial situation is not good, the hardware facilities on the training base can fully meet the standards.

Otherwise, Shao Bo would never choose this place as their training base for preparing for the Champions League final.

Soon, the day of the finals will arrive.

Everyone at Arsenal got on the bus and arrived at the Schalke Stadium.

As the final venue of this UEFA Champions League, they also came here in advance for several adaptive training sessions.

The night was starry and the clear skies allowed the roof to open over the stadium.

From a distance, the stadium looks like a glowing disc surrounded by greenery.

The TV wall cube like the one set up in the NBA stadium is hung in the center of the court for fans in the stands to learn about the game information.

This thing cost a lot of money, even Shao Bo felt that it was a bit flashy, so when the new stadium was built, this design was canceled.

Even after five years of construction, Schalke is still the most advanced football stadium in the world.

The [-] on-site fans were divided into several unobvious areas according to the home and away teams and neutral fans.

Red and white jerseys and red jerseys are the main colors of the two teams.Except for the sleeves, the difference between the jerseys of the two sides is not very big.

If you really wear it like this, it will definitely affect the viewing of the game.

Let alone in front of the TV, even the fans at the scene may not be able to tell who is who.

　Fourth update!Finally, the fourth update is done, and there will be another chapter today, and I will add it after the paper is handed in tomorrow.
