Chapter 431
The quiet Rhine flows slowly through the ancient city.

Whether it is the Basel Bank for International Settlement, which can shake the world with a single cough, or the Bishop's Palace, which caused two popes to appear at the same time, they all stand quietly in the city, watching the world with cold eyes.

Suburbs, Basel football stadium.

"Well done! Rosicky! First goal!"

The commentator shouted excitedly, the fifth group stage of the 2004-2005 UEFA Champions League has already started, and Arsenal scored the first goal of this round!
"It's really unimaginable, even if the head coach didn't stand on the sidelines to direct, Arsenal can explode with such amazing energy!"

At this time, the director switched the screen to the coach's bench on the sidelines. There was only Pat Rice, who had been playing for Arsenal since 1964, as a player and as an assistant coach.

Wearing a tracksuit, Pat Rice, who was sitting on the coach's bench, stood up and celebrated Rosicky's goal by high-fiving the players around him.

The 55-year-old Pat Rice is already full of gray hair. Although he is not the head coach of Arsenal, with a head coach like Shao Bo who has a lot of power, Pat Rice has a lot of work.

On the one hand, Pat Rice was very grateful to Shao Bo for his trust in him, on the other hand, he also felt a little powerless.

He is not young anymore, although for the position of coach, 55 years old is only the golden age, but how long can the golden age last?

After all, there are only a few head coaches like Trapattoni who are capable of reaching their sixties and 70s.

Thinking that Bosque, who has won enough honors in Real Madrid, is even younger than himself, Pat Rice sometimes couldn't help thinking, if he hadn't backed down and taken the initiative to take on the position of Arsenal's head coach, would he have Will it also create Arsenal's current glory?

After winning the Toyota Cup, Shao Bo went out to play like crazy after getting caught in the rain, and ended up recovering from a cold at home.

This time, of course, only assistant coach Pat Rice can lead the team.

Even the Arsenal team's training for the past two days was in charge of Pat Rice, Shao Bo only communicated with them by phone.

None of the players who were also exposed to heavy rain got sick. It can only be said that although Shao Bo exercises his body on weekdays, compared with professional players, there is still a big gap.

This time, Shao Bo was recuperating at home, and he was quite depressed because he couldn't go to Basel with his family.

In Shao Bo's view, going to Basel to play football away from home is actually no different from traveling.

Winning the Toyota Cup is certainly something to be happy about, but the Premier League is the foundation of Arsenal.And Arsenal's next Premier League opponent is Manchester United, currently ranked second.With strong enemies ahead, the Champions League has to stand aside.

Fortunately, Arsenal still have a Champions League game to play before they face Manchester United.Speaking of which, there are also Champions League games and Premier League games. Such a dense schedule will definitely drive Arsenal's players crazy and make Shao Bo feel distressed.

But under the condition that the group has been ensured first, Shao Bo can definitely send all the non-main players, so that these players who have consumed too much in Yokohama can get a certain degree of rest.

So coming to Switzerland is just a vacation for Shao Bo, not a game that needs to care about winning or losing.

But this time, Shao Bo missed the game. Except for communicating with the coaching staff on the tactics and personnel arrangements before the game by phone and video, he didn't participate too much and took a good rest.

Playing game consoles at home is also a very good way of leisure.

But where does Shao Bo have free time to play?This period of time has been very hard. Even if Shao Bo has delegated a lot of work to the staff of the coaching staff, there are still many decisions that must be made by Shao Bo himself.

David Dane can help Shao Bo solve commercial and operational problems, but this is Shao Bo's club after all, and no one else can make any decisions for him.

Leaning on the sofa, Shao Bo was wearing a blanket and constantly reviewing documents, while Arsenal's Champions League away game was being broadcast live on the TV in front of the sofa.

Hearing the sound: "Rosicky! A good goal!" Shao Bo raised his eyebrows in surprise, and turned his attention to the TV again: "You did a good job."

In this game, none of the main players who participated in the Toyota Cup participated.

Handanovic participated in the UEFA Champions League for the first time. He is not very old, but with the more talented Iker Casillas and Cech, he will not enjoy the honor of becoming the youngest goalkeeper to play in the UEFA Champions League.

But Handanovic is also very excited. When he was in Slovenia, how could he have thought that he would play in the Champions League so quickly.

In Slovenia, Handanovic was hailed as the most talented goalkeeper in the country, but after arriving in England, he realized that he was nothing at all.

Not to mention other people, even Cech, who is only two years older than himself, has won the Premier League Golden Glove Award and the title of the best goalkeeper in the Champions League.

With Petr in front, Handanovic is happy to see Arsenal take him to a wider stage, but hopes to play more games.

Cech is too young. Judging from the fact that the goalkeeper's career can grow to 35 or even 40 years old, Handanovic has no early days here.

This is also a problem faced by many young Arsenal players.

Arsenal in the Wenger era would not have such a problem, but under Shao Bo's concept of collecting young talents from all over the world, there is no shortage of talented players in Kearney's training base. They are not sure that they can play in the huge competitive pressure. Get a satisfactory professional contract in the future.

And if these players are placed in ordinary teams like Everton and Fulham, they will definitely have the opportunity to become the core of the team.

Just like Arteta has become the captain at Everton, this Spanish prodigal son has also had a good time in Merseyside.

From Barcelona to Arsenal, after going through two giants, Arteta finally found his own home.

Now this kind of "escape from Arsenal" emotion in the Kearney training base has not yet exploded, but once it does, it will definitely cause serious damage to the team!
But now, they are still in full swing and their morale is booming!
Rosicky, who served as a left midfielder, was also very excited after scoring the ball.

While in Dortmund, Rosicky gradually grew from a young genius to a reliable and important member of the team.When it comes to Arsenal, it's like starting all over again. Rosicky can't get the main position for the time being, but with his ability, he will soon occupy a place in the Arsenal team.

Now participating in the Champions League this time, Rosicky used a burst shot to tell everyone his true strength as a Czech player known as "even surpassing Pavel Nedved".

No doubt!

After all, Basel is just a lucky beneficiary of Platini's policy of "popularizing football to more places".

Their true strength is not enough to fight against the giants, and the occasional upset is just an unexpected situation, which should not be used as reference data.This time it was clearly reflected in this situation.

Now it is only Arsenal's second team participating, but even these two teams can defeat Basel.

The game between Arsenal and Basel had come to an end in the 3rd minute. The goal scored by Rosicky in the 3rd minute directly stunned the Basel players.

The next time is very simple, a bloody massacre.

Even though Arsenal's team is full of non-main players, Basel has no power to fight back.

3: 0!

A win was brought back to north London by Pat Rice.

There is still the last Champions League game, but that is not a problem. For Arsenal, the last two Champions League games can only serve as training for newcomers. If the main players can't play, they will definitely not play.

The pursuit of a complete victory in the group is not very meaningful. The most important thing is that they can enter the knockout round as the first in the group and face a relatively easy opponent so as not to bring too much pressure to the second half of the league. of.

What's so scary about the home of the French club Lille?
Rosicky, who scored twice in this game, is the biggest contributor to Arsenal's victory. Although Shao Bo doesn't care much about the outcome of the last two games in the group stage, the prize money after winning is completely different from that after losing of.

The entry prize alone is only 50 euros, but if you win, there will be an additional 80 euros in prize money.Although these are not too many, they are also small money. For other small and medium-sized teams in Europe, that is unattainable.

Even the champion of the UEFA Cup can only get three or four million euros in bonuses, which is not as much as Arsenal earned in the group stage.

This is also an important reason why the UEFA Champions League is the most attractive game!

Without money, no club would be willing to put in the effort to play well.

Another young player who scored a goal was Franck Ribery. He and Rosicky separated from the left and right sides of the stadium and broke through the gate of Basel.

Shao Bo is very lucky to have so many players who can take both left and right. At least on the side, he will not have to worry about it for several years.

It is of course a good thing to win, but for Arsenal, what is more important now is to let the head coach Shao Bo get better as soon as possible.

According to the current condition of Shao Bo, he may not be able to command the next game against Manchester United.

And this is quite a serious problem.

Shao Bo's health is fine now, and his fever is not serious, but his nose is running all the time.

Shao Bo like this can't go to the locker room or meet the players on the court, otherwise who knows which player will be infected by him?

Even if it's not a viral cold, it's dangerous!

For Shao Bo, a runny nose and a cold are nothing more than a common thing, not a big deal at all.

In the past student days, even if I was sick, I had to go to school bravely!
Unless it's a serious illness like an operation, or you want to be lazy.

Take a pill and have a roll of toilet paper ready, that's enough.

It's different in Europe, however.

The Spanish flu, which infected [-] million people and killed tens of millions of people, was a variant of the common cold.

This cold, which is even called "the end of World War I", will of course make Europeans talk about it.

Of course, Shao Bo, who grew up in China, did not feel this way, but he talked about this issue with Emma by chance, and Shao Bo had a deeper understanding of these things from the little girl.

He had no choice but to stay at home honestly. Fortunately, Shao Bo was busy enough even if he stayed at home. Manchester United, Chelsea... many strong teams are still waiting to play against Arsenal.

Although the things purchased from Japan have been delivered to my home, I haven't had time to play with them one by one. It can't be said that this is not a pity.

In fact, this Champions League game can't test the effect. Is Arsenal's victory over the weakest team in the third tier still considered news?
The match against Manchester United is the current focus!

Against the Manchester United team coached by Ferguson, it is hard to say whether Pat Rice can successfully lead Arsenal to defeat a strong enemy.

Shao Bo himself did not dare to say that he could win against his opponent steadily, let alone Pat Rice, who really did not have much experience in commanding on the spot.

The game against Manchester United is bound to be extremely important, and on-the-spot command will be an important step on the road to victory.Shao Bo couldn't go to the stadium in person because of his illness, so he could only rely on Pat Rice.

I don't know if he, who once defeated Manchester United for Arsenal in the player era, can accomplish his mission in this critical moment.

For the Manchester United team that has been reinforced in the summer transfer market this year, Shao Bo does not know the final result.

Van der Sar finally put on the Red Devils jersey, and he replaced Butters to ensure the safety of Manchester United's gate.It's no longer as crunchy as a wafer biscuit, and it's easy to break the door with a push.

If you want to break the goal, you need more efforts from the Arsenal players.

The lineups against Manchester United and against Chelsea were designed early, but temporary minor adjustments will be made according to the state and physical fitness of the players at the time.

These outlines helped the club run smoothly in the absence of Shao Bo.

All the main players in the Toyota Cup battle, Harvey Alonso and Ronaldo will be temporarily rested.Both Pires and Gilberto Silva came on as substitutions.

And because of Ashley Cole's ankle sprain, he could only rest at home like Shao Bo, so this time Rahm once again served as Arsenal's left back.

This time in the away game at Old Trafford, Shao Bo could only cheer for the team by watching TV at home.

Now, whether it is the players or the staff, there is only one requirement for Shao Bo-that is, he recovers as soon as possible so that he can continue to lead the players and command the team.

For so many years, Shao Bo has rarely been absent. There are really not many cases where he was absent for more than a week due to illness, and most people are really not used to it.

Sitting in front of the TV, Shao Bo continued to work, glancing at the TV from time to time.

The live broadcast of the match between Arsenal and Manchester United has just begun. He has a lot of things to do now. Anyway, after this game, he will definitely need to study the video in more detail. He doesn't need to pay much attention to it now.

During the live TV broadcast, it is more for the audience. In order to attract the interest of the audience, the TV station often does not focus on the stadium.

In other words, what they filmed was not comprehensive.

The kind of video that Shao Bo wants to watch is a professional video that can overlook the whole field, so that he can understand the movement of each player more clearly.

Otherwise, just relying on the little things on the TV, even the best coaches will not be able to research more things than ordinary researchers with rich data.

Ferguson was still chewing gum, but the man standing with him on the sidelines was no longer Shao Bo.

Without Shao Bo as his opponent, he also felt a little regretful, but it was more likely to silently increase his confidence in Manchester United's victory in his heart.

At the pre-match press conference the day before, Ferguson thought that Shao Bo would come to the game at the last moment, perhaps just to take the opportunity to catch Ferguson by surprise.

But now it seems that Ferguson was a bit paranoid at that time.

This time, Ferguson wants to beat Arsenal so that he can catch up with Chelsea, which is currently ranked number one, as soon as possible!

Before the game, Ferguson read "The Times" which published about the current head coach Mourinho who led Chelsea to No.1 in the Premier League standings.

For this arrogant young man, Ferguson did not have a good impression.

In addition, in the Premier League, Arsenal and Manchester United were competing for supremacy. Although Ferguson didn't like Arsenal because of his standpoint, and didn't like Shao Bo, who was able to beat him repeatedly, he hated this newcomer who was intruding even more.

Once Mourinho really leads Chelsea to the final victory, then Manchester United and Arsenal's monopoly over the Premier League for more than ten years will come to an end.

For so many years, except for Blackburn who won the championship in the early days of the Premier League, the Premier League championship has always belonged to Arsenal and Manchester United.

Whether it's Robbie Keane's Newcastle or Liverpool, who have been chasing their first ever Premier League title, they've just kept chasing titles without ever really succeeding.

It is also thanks to them repeatedly falling short at the last minute, otherwise, the current Premier League will definitely not be a situation where two strong contenders.

It is enough to have a competitor like Arsenal. As a vested interest in the current situation, Ferguson does not want to have another guy who grabs food.

However, to surpass Chelsea, Manchester United must first win the most threatening enemy to them, Arsenal!

Fortunately, the players who joined the Manchester United team during the summer reinforcements have been able to show their true strength after a short period of discomfort.

Manchester United is not afraid of any challenge, even if Arsenal are here, they must beat them!
