Chapter 401 Franck Ribery in the starting lineup
A pot of tomato beef brisket soup inherited from the dark cooking world made Shao Bo firm in his determination to control the kitchen. If Emma is given another chance, he doesn't know what kind of terrible product Xiao Nizi is going to create.

After the victory over Leverkusen, Arsenal faced much less pressure, and they did not have any particularly difficult teams in their recent games.

In the league, Chelsea, led by Mourinho, still maintains a record of unbeaten victories, but Liverpool is also clinging to the point difference. The two of them occupy the first and second places in the league.

The old strong teams in the past, Arsenal and Manchester United, have lost the chain at the beginning of this new season. Ferguson surprisingly scored two consecutive draws, and Arsenal also lost the game against Southampton. , fortunately this is an away game.

It's just that the thousands of visiting team fans who came with the team were very dissatisfied after the game, and they didn't leave until almost half an hour after the game ended.

This can't help but make many media exclaim, will the situation of Arsenal and Manchester United dominating the Premier League really be subverted?

Under the leadership of Eriksson and Houllier in the past, although Chelsea and Liverpool have always been able to overwhelm other teams and hold the Champions League seats, they have never had a chance to win the Premier League.

The Premier League has been established for almost 15 years. Except for Blackburn's extremely unexpected championship, the remaining championships have always been monopolized by Arsenal and Manchester United.

Could it be that this season will be different?
The Premier League occupies four Champions League seats because of their European War points. Whether it is the champion or the fourth place, they have a chance to play in the Champions League.

It's just that, is it possible for a club that is used to fighting for championships to adapt to the top four?

For Shao Bo, isn't the top four no different from Arsenal in his previous life?No matter how bad it was, under Wenger, Arsenal never lost their ticket to the Champions League.

If Shao Bo is still at ease after winning the championship, then apart from a Champions League champion, there is not much difference between what Shao Bo and Wenger did.

Wenger, as Arsenal's legendary head coach, is definitely worthy of admiration, but Shao Bo still has the mind of a time traveler, using information from the future. If he is still satisfied with this kind of achievement, he might as well not time travel.

Fortunately, this is only the beginning of the season, and the difference between Arsenal and Chelsea is only five points, and they can be recovered in two games.

Now Arsenal don't need to worry too much for the time being, and after the two rounds of the Champions League, Arsenal also ranked first with two victories and six points. The enemy who stumbled.

A hearty game, a 6:0 disparity in the score, let everyone realize the true strength of Arsenal.It also silenced those who started to pour cold water on the club after Arsenal's difficult victory over Bayer Leverkusen.

Originally, in this round, Manchester United played a game against Fenerbahce first. The final score of that game at Old Trafford was 6:2. Liverpool, who have already lost, and Chelsea, who have drawn.

When they were about to stay up all night watching Arsenal's jokes, they found that their jaws couldn't close together.Who would have thought that just after Manchester United slaughtered Fenerbahce once at home, Arsenal would immediately smash the gate of Basel with the same number of goals?

And more importantly, although the two teams scored the same number of goals, Arsenal completed a clean sheet!
And in the history of the Champions League for more than 50 years, such a disparity in scores is really rare.

In 2003, Juventus beat Olympiacos 7-0 at home, which was the most disparate score in a single game in the history of the Champions League.

Of course, this is only the data after the restructuring of the Champions League. Before that, in the first round of the Champions League in the 1973-1974 season, Dinamo Bucharest had slaughtered Crusades from Northern Ireland at home.

At that time, the score of the two teams was 11:0. God knows how the Crusades players will face those desperate fans after the loss.

Of course, many records are counted after the restructuring, so Juventus can still maintain this record.

If Arsenal work harder, they may be able to surpass this record, and at worst they will be able to share this honor with Juventus.

However, after they sealed the victory 4:0 in the first half, Shao Bo used up his substitutions at the beginning of the second half to save energy for the next game.

According to what Shao Bo said in the press conference afterwards, he did not expect that in the second half, the team still had such a strong desire to attack. , An important reason for scoring two goals.

Shao Bo can only express his regret for not breaking the record.The days to come are still long, and Arsenal still have a chance to break this record.Whether it is broken or not is not a particularly important thing, and Shao Bo doesn't pay much attention to it.

Between the words, the Manchester United fans who jumped up because of the big victory in the group stage in the past two days were vaguely blacked out.

However, this is a big victory after all. Arsenal encountered some problems in the league, but they still maintained a good enough competitiveness in the Champions League. Based on this alone, the team deserves a commendation.

The players have worked very hard. During this period of time, because the League Cup has also started, they have to accept the situation of double matches every week.

Fortunately, Shao Bo doesn't have any idea about the League Cup now. It doesn't matter whether he wins this kind of cup with little influence, so Yaya Toure and Ribery, who have no chance to play on weekdays, have entered the starting lineup. list.

Their opponent in the League Cup is Huddersfield Town, the underdog of the English Championship. In a small town northeast of Manchester, Arsenal players took a bus to this small audience with a capacity of less than [-] people. court.

Although this team was the first team in England to complete three consecutive championships, and was even hailed as the strongest football club in England and even in Europe at the time, but in the middle of the last century, they quickly fell into the D-League.

Fortunately, after years of hard work, they have returned to the British Championship, the second-tier league in England, and have qualified for the League Cup.

At the beginning of this year, Coca-Cola and the Football Association jointly issued a cooperation statement. The original second-tier league in England will be reorganized from League One to the British Championship. League One will become the third-tier league in England.

In fact, in Shao Bo's opinion, apart from changing his name, there is not much change.

Shao Bo, who is already at the top in the Premier League, certainly doesn't like the English Championship, but the English Championship is also a major league second only to the Premier League, La Liga and Bundesliga, and the number of viewers exceeds Serie A and Ligue [-].

It's just that Coca-Cola's support will at least allow these low-level league teams to get more funds than in the past.

This should also be regarded as a good thing for football, otherwise the gap between the Premier League and the British Championship is too big. If it is not underestimating the enemy or unexpected circumstances, the low-level teams have no chance of making a comeback.

In this match between Arsenal and Huddersfield, because Shao Bo didn't pay much attention to it, he sent young players.

Premier League clubs do not need to participate in the first round of the League Cup. Huddersfield only encountered low-level opponents in the first round, and they could not show their strength at all.

However, even if there is any hidden strength, can this kind of Championship team still threaten Arsenal's gate?
In the pre-match press conference, the head coach of Huddersfield Club, Tedes, stated that he was trying to win. Shao Bo did not say such words. A team like Arsenal, facing Huddersfield It would be too embarrassing if you still have to work hard to win the victory.

Shao Bo had already sentenced Huddersfield to death in his heart, but it was only at the end of the game.

When the media got the starting list for the game, they looked at the unfamiliar names on the list such as Ribery, Yaya Touré, Baines, Handanovic and so on. The same as in the past, ready to take the League Cup training.

At this time, the reporters can only look forward to Huddersfield defeating Arsenal in an upset. Otherwise, how can there be something attractive in a game without a few big-name stars on the field?

Yaya Toure finally got his labor certification this year. In the past few years, he has been in the situation of actual loan transfer through the exchange agreement and has not played a game at Arsenal.

And his older brother Kolo Touré wasn't faring much better.

Campbell, Rio Ferdinand, Terry... Each of them basically firmly holds the position under their feet. If Kolo Toure wants to go to the next level, he has to wait for the people in front to leave.

Fortunately, Campbell has left, otherwise Kolo Toure doesn't know how long he will survive.

In this game, the Toure brothers played for Arsenal at the same time, which is regarded as news. The reporters at the scene comforted themselves so much, and even they couldn't believe it. News from afar.

Arsenal have always produced newcomers in recent years. Although the name Ribery has never been heard before, he got a chance to play not long after he joined the team, which shows that Shao Bo should still attach great importance to him.

Is it on the left?Is Shao Bo going to train him to become the next Pires?
Yes, Pires is 31 years old. Although Arsenal have just signed a two-year contract with him, who knows how long this soon-to-be veteran player will stay in the team.

A Ronaldo is not enough.
