Chapter 404 Seeing Hypia Again

For Shao Bo, now that he has won all three rounds of the Champions League, it is only normal for him to temporarily rank first in the group. As the defending champion of last season, it would be too shameful if he failed to qualify for the group stage.

After returning to London, they are about to face the impact of strong teams.

Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea, the three teams currently ranked ahead of Arsenal, have no record of directly playing against Arsenal this season.

At present, Chelsea is extremely stable and maintains the first place. They lost to Liverpool in the away game, but there is only one game.

Liverpool, who beat Chelsea, failed to hold the gate at Anfield, and they drew 1-1 with their north-west neighbors Manchester United.

Among the semi-finals of the Premier League, only Arsenal are left.

After Liverpool played two home games, they finally started to go south.

For fans of Manchester United and Chelsea, it is not good news for either of these two teams to win. The four teams have not opened up the points difference at all, and anyone may win the final league championship.

If the two teams draw in a draw, several red and yellow cards will be mixed up during the game, and a suspension or something will be imposed to satisfy the fans of Manchester United and Chelsea.

Liverpool, currently ranked second in the league, is very hopeful of winning the league title after 15 years.

In the past 15 years, the Premier League has basically been dominated by Manchester United and Arsenal, and Liverpool has no chance at all.

Seeing that Manchester United and Arsenal are competing for the third position, Liverpool also hopes to beat Arsenal in this game, so as to catch up with Chelsea, who is ranked first.

As usual, the game still attracted a large number of fans to fill the stadium, which can accommodate [-] fans.

Unlike normal days, the black market for this game is especially hot.

Some fans who are willing, or are unable to come due to temporary errands, found that the tickets for this game in their hands can be sold for more than five or six times the price!

Even if the team built a new stadium, the 7-person stadium still cannot meet the viewing needs of more than 20 Arsenal fans in London.

In normal games, the attendance rate of the Emirates Stadium can reach more than 99%.This figure almost represents the full capacity of the stadium.

There are always some seats that are temporarily reserved by the fans or specially reserved by the club, so it is basically impossible to achieve [-]% attendance.

But for this game, Arsenal released the tickets early and only sold a part of them every day, but it still attracted many fans who did not have season tickets to line up at the ticket gate.

The current online ticketing system is sufficiently developed, but in order to avoid the server from crashing, the club has to choose to use the method of selling tickets by region.

It can only be said that science and technology have not yet developed to that stage, and it is not realistic to move all the ticketing systems to the Internet.

In this regard, Arsenal has already carried out preliminary cooperation with Google, and Shao Bo has shares in both sides, which is also a good thing for him.

Arsenal's official website will use Google's search by default, and Google will also put Arsenal first when users search - of course, they must be when they search for football-related things to display Arsenal.

But this alone is enough.

Google has such a huge amount of traffic, which is equivalent to advertising Arsenal for free.

There is still a lot of cooperation between them. Shao Bo has left the specific matters to the departments below. If he has to do everything himself, Shao Bo will be exhausted.

Benitez, the 40-year-old Spaniard took the bus to lead the Liverpool players to the Emirates Stadium.

The bus stopped in the exclusive parking lot of the visiting team, attracting many journalists. Benitez was smiling confidently before entering the Emirates Stadium. At present, he is only one point away from surpassing Chelsea to become the number one in the standings. Liverpool is the source of Benitez's confidence.

"Coach Benitez, what do you think of this game?"

"Mr Benitez, Liverpool are away, do you feel the pressure here?"

Like the head coach Benitez, Gerrard, Carragher and other players were also able to get questions from the reporters, but most of them did not answer and chose to walk into the stadium quickly.

……

Unlike the visiting team players who entered the stadium from the outside, Arsenal and these people have already prepared at home.

The players warmed up in advance on the recently resurfaced turf field, and more than 6 fans of the home team enthusiastically cheered for the team.

Perhaps because of their middle-class identities, these fans who can afford expensive tickets did not boo the visiting team players who entered the stadium later.

So while it's grand enough, it's nowhere near as crowded as the horrors of stadiums like Westfalenstadion and Ali Samiyan Stadium.

The former is the home of Dortmund, which has an entire stand, while the latter belongs to the giants of Turkey, Galatasaray.

All European teams are terrified of the home court that can even set off fireworks.

Even if you have [-]% of your strength, you can't exert [-]% of it in the place where the lunatics gather.

Although the Emirates Stadium is huge and there are a large number of fans watching the game, they cannot put pressure on the opponent because the fans are relatively moderate.

When the stadium was designed, issues such as ventilation and temperature were taken into consideration, for the comfort of the fans watching the game, so even if all the fans booed, it would not break the sound record of proudly going to Schalke .

Shao Bo also paid more attention to this game.

Although Hyypia turned around and returned to Liverpool after transferring from Arsenal to Barcelona, ​​Shao Bo will not underestimate this player who has played for Arsenal for four years.

When the five veterans of the defense were getting old, when Campbell hadn't come to Arsenal, and when Rio Ferdinand and the others hadn't grown up, Hyypia made a huge contribution to the team.

But now Hyypia is destined to play for Liverpool instead of Arsenal. It is a pity, but this afternoon, they will be enemies.

There are also some Arsenal fans who remember Hyypia, and they also miss that era. Although there is no Champions League, they have sweated for the unbeaten league.

Although only a few years have passed, it is their past.

After Shao Bo saw Hypia, the two also hugged.

After Hyypia saw Shao Bo, he whispered: "Coach, I won't hold back this time, you have to be careful."
