Chapter 462 A Draw Can Advance ([-])

The last game of the Premier League this season will end on May [-]th. They don't know if they can reach the Champions League final, but the date of the final has also been set.

On May 2005, 5, Istanbul, Turkey, as the end of the season, the Champions League final will be held there.

If they can survive this level tonight, they will still have the opportunity to participate in the Turkish game. If they lose, Arsenal only need to focus on the domestic Premier League front.

The heavy rain is still heavy tonight. Fortunately, the Anfield stadium has a roof, so the fans will not be exposed to the rain.

However, Shao Bo, who was standing at the door of the player tunnel, frowned. He would definitely get wet from the heavy rain later.

Although this kind of rainy and snowy weather has been experienced for many years, I never need an assistant to hold an umbrella and pretend to be very delicate on weekdays.

But Shao Bo still had a hard time liking the bad weather.

Especially in April, which was already very warm, Shao Bo couldn't help shivering as he stood at the door of the players' tunnel because of the spring rain.

This game is about to start, and the players rushed into the rain in long-sleeved training shirts for warm-up activities, and when they walked out of the player tunnel, they also muttered and complained about the damn weather.

"Okay, let's finish this game and talk about other things!" Shao Bo patted Terry on the head and said with a smile.

The short-cut short-inch hairstyle just now made Shao Bo feel a little uncomfortable.

"I don't know when this damn heavy rain will stop." Terry shrank his neck and trotted away from the players' tunnel quickly, preparing for warm-up activities.

Klose and Bergkamp filled the front line, Pires and Ashley Cole fought on the left, Ljungberg Lauren stayed on the right, and Lampard and Alonso stood by in the midfield.

The remaining two central defenders are partnered by Terry and Kolo Toure.

Terry has outstanding talents in terms of strength, body and consciousness. Otherwise, Shao Bo, who knows him a little bit, would not have deliberately dug Terry into the Arsenal team.

However, speed is one of his major shortcomings, whether it is the flexibility of turning around or after starting on weekdays.

Fortunately, Kolo Toure, who is second only to Henry in terms of speed in the team, can effectively make up for this shortcoming.

Both of them have a very good sense of position, which can be seen in the cooperation between them on weekdays.

Kolo Touré's huge sweeping area, John Terry's ferocious tackle interception....

This group of defensive players is no worse than the five veterans of the defense led by Adams back then.

With the addition of Ashley Cole, Lauren, Ram and others, the defense of this generation is not only slightly inferior to the defense of the Adams generation, but also has speed, agility... and many other things. Senior.

Of course, most of this is also due to changes in training, the use of technology on the football field and other factors.

However, at least Shao Bo can proudly say that in addition to the five veterans of the defense, he has created an equally excellent defense line.

It's a pity that the strength of the benches on the two sidelines is still a bit inferior.

Baines is still too young, maybe he still needs more game experience, Shao Bo is ready to loan Baines out for a year this summer, let him gain some game experience.

Then make targeted changes in these positions.

The players in the team are very strong, but if they all retire in the Arsenal team, it is not a long-term solution.

All kinds of honorary champions are soft, and the club must negotiate with the players for a substantial salary increase.

If the expenditure is too high, the gain outweighs the loss.

And more importantly, players will lose their desire for victory and weaken the passion in the game because they get too many trophies.

Perhaps, Ice Prince Bergkamp will retire this summer, and here he has got everything he can get as a club player.

The salary is indeed not as good as his strength and status, but Bergkamp himself is a rich man with a lot of money. If it was because of the salary problem, he would have left Arsenal long ago and switched to Real Madrid, Barcelona and other giants.

The regret in the Dutch national team has been irretrievable, and he got everything in the club.

Now 36 years old, he is the oldest player with qualifications in this team.

On June 1995, 6, Bergkamp joined Arsenal, and it has been ten years in a blink of an eye.

When Shao Bo first came to Arsenal, Bergkamp had already played the main role in the team. At that time, Henry had not joined Arsenal, and even rejected Shao Bo's invitation a year later. Ashley Cole is still waiting for an unknown promotion in the youth team, and has also thought about leaving.

A group of veterans such as Adams have retired, Vieira and other stars who have played in their prime have also left, but Bergkamp is still here.

Looking at Bergkamp with blond hair pressing his legs in the court, Shao Bo's heart was full of waves.

After he retired from the Dutch national team in 2000, the Dutch football, which once practiced total defense and gorgeous style of play, has deteriorated.

If he still has any wishes for football that have not been realized, let them all be realized in the Arsenal team!
Recently, there have been rumors in the media that Bergkamp is planning to retire this summer, but after Shao Bo personally confirmed with Bergkamp, ​​he got the news that the other party hopes to continue to renew his contract with Arsenal.

Today, his salary in the team is only [-] pounds, and there is one year left on his contract.

If the contract is renewed, the salary will not increase, but may decrease.

Moreover, the new contract period is still only two years-this is a standard set by Shao Bo for every veteran over 30 years old.

Most veterans over 30 years old will get a two-year contract, and only a few extremely outstanding people will be directly taken over by Shao Bo for their entire career.

Bergkamp's skill reached its peak around the age of 30, and has actually been slowly declining since then.

Veterans are immortal, even though they survive in Shao Bo's heart, they have no practical effect on the field.

No matter how literary the words "drifting in the fireworks of memory" are, at least Bergkamp's playing time has indeed declined in the past two years.

Fortunately, he will do his best in every game he can participate in.

And the ability to deliver shells to forwards, even Bergkamp, ​​who is now 36 years old, is unmatched in the Premier League.

The game was about to start, and Shao Bo also walked back to the locker room from the door of the player tunnel, and went back to drink a sip of hot cocoa, which would make him refreshed in this cold rainy night.

The hot cocoa is a bit bitter, but it just helps Shao Bo stay awake, lest he feel sleepy and want to sleep after taking two sips of hot cocoa.

After a while, the players returned to the locker room one after another. Their training uniforms were all soaked. At this time, they quickly changed into dry official game jerseys, although they knew that these jerseys would soon be wet by the rain.

"My God, can the rain stop..." The players kept complaining about the damn weather in the locker room.

Shao Bo clapped his hands to attract the attention of the players. After seeing that the players were not affected too much by the continuous heavy rain, he said with satisfaction: "Okay, guys. Don't complain, the game is about to start." Let's get started. We didn't expect heavy rain, didn't they? And this heavy rain must have caught Liverpool's players off guard, which is actually helping us."

The players thought about it carefully, the heavy rain that was originally said in the weather forecast was to stop in the afternoon, and it has not ended yet, and it will definitely cause great trouble to the Liverpool players.

Although it will not be of any benefit to Arsenal's players, it will definitely affect the state of Liverpool's players.

In the spirit of "if I can't do it, I will pull you to the same low level", the players think about it carefully, and feel that this is also a very understandable optimistic attitude.

The icy rain did not affect the enthusiasm of those fans who were not poured on their bodies.

Thousands of Arsenal fans sat in the Anfield Road stands as away fans and waited for the Arsenal players to appear. The warm-up exercise just now was a bit far from the Anfield Road stands. Due to the heavy rain, they could not see the players clearly. .

Only when the game is over, the players will be closer to them, will they have a chance to see clearly.

When the players from both sides came out of the player tunnel again, both Arsenal fans and Liverpool fans burst into cheers.

This is the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

The result of this game will directly determine which of the two England teams will be able to reach the semi-finals.

The UEFA Champions League started simultaneously with the match between Chelsea and AC Milan, which was played at the San Siro Stadium in Milan.

Chelsea had the upper hand in the last game, they scored two winning goals at Stamford Bridge at home, while AC Milan also scored an away goal.

With a score of 3:1, Chelsea seems to have a greater advantage, but in fact no one knows who will win the final victory.

But after tonight, in any case, at least one English team will appear in the top four of this year's Champions League.

Although Serie A has two teams advancing to the quarter-finals, neither AC Milan nor Juventus are 100% sure of advancing.

Now Chelsea has the advantage, and Juventus played to a tie with Bayern Munich in Turin. Now they are going to Germany, and they don't know if they can get out.

And Barcelona seems to be the safest team to enter the semi-finals.

They swept their opponents 3-0 at Benfica's home stadium, the Stadium of Light. In tomorrow's game at Camp Nou, it is estimated that there will be no major problems.

Now only one of the Champions League semi-finals has been locked by Barcelona, ​​and the other three positions require the remaining six clubs to fight.

And now, Arsenal and Liverpool are working hard for such a Champions League qualification!
It was raining heavily, and the players' hair, which had just been wiped with a clean towel, was wet again and drooped on their foreheads.

That is to say, players with short shaved inches like Terry will not be affected by the hair.

And Kolo Touré happened to be braiding his pigtails during this time, and he was very uncomfortable in the heavy rain, but they all ran to the prescribed positions and waited for the start of the game.

The two captains have already guessed the coin, and Arsenal got a seat on the side of the stands near Anfield Road. They will rely on these loyal away fans who come all the way to watch Arsenal at the beginning of the game.

The game has started and it is still raining heavily.

The precious camera equipment is exposed to the heavy rain like this. Maybe after the rain stops, these equipment will receive professional maintenance?

……

"Snapped!"

"Oh my god, why is the screen black!" The staff who were in charge of rebroadcasting this important Champions League match in the studio were startled by the sudden blackening of the TV screen in front of them.

I just took a sip of coffee and took a short errand, could something be wrong?

He prayed that it must not be his fault, otherwise, if he made a mistake in such an extremely important game, it would definitely affect his future promotion, bonus and salary.

Fortunately, he quickly called up the game video from other cameras, and at this time he also received the order from the director.

"Quickly change the screen from camera No. 131 just now!"

number 131?
Isn't that the camera that went black just now?

He was startled and hesitated.

"What are you doing? Hurry up!"

The majesty accumulated by the director on weekdays made him lose his mind, and he subconsciously passed on the game footage recorded by camera No. 131 just now.

At this time, the commentator in the studio saw the scene just inserted, and continued to explain the game.

"Friends in the audience, it was actually just an accident. We can see from the slow motion that Barosh's shot missed the goal. As a result, the ball directly hit a camera behind the door and shattered it."

"I don't know if they will ask Barosh for compensation after the game is over."

"This kind of thing rarely happens, but I don't think it will happen." The guest commentator and the commentator were joking about the fact that Liverpool's offense was ended at the feet of Baros.

The heavy rain has not stopped. According to the latest weather forecast report, this is because another mass of cold and humid air flew over from the North Sea temporarily. As a result, the heavy rain has continued to this day and even intensified.

Because of this heavy rain, the staff in charge of the weather forecast were also reprimanded by their superiors. After all, this affected many problems.

It is not just the take-off and landing at the airport, the arrangement of flights and so on.

Of course, the host of the TV station who was in charge of broadcasting this news last night was equally depressed. He had lost his face in front of thousands of households.

The game was played in the rain, with Arsenal and Liverpool both attacking and defending each other.

In this game, Benitez did not use the three midfielder tactics he chose in the previous game. Perhaps it was because they lost in that game, so Benitez quickly abandoned the past thinking.

This kind of rapid change is great, and it is the quality that a good head coach should have. However, when this quality is placed on Shao Bo's opponent, it is not so exciting.

Fifteen or six minutes into the game, Baros received a pass from teammate Steven Gerrard. However, although he felt that the ball was mentioned accurately, the trajectory of the ball's flight was deflected due to the rain.

The initial deflection of a few millimeters may eventually expand to a few meters.

The result was that Barosh kicked the ball straight away, not only did not touch the goal at all, but also smashed a camera erected on the edge of the court.

This camera might cost thousands of pounds.Regardless of whether they need Barosh to lose money in the end, this is not a good sign.

Barosh, who cursed this kick in a low voice, backed away slowly.

The ball has been kicked by him, and the ball is handed over to the Arsenal players, who will continue to attack.

Kolo Toure pushed the small whips on his forehead to the back of his head. Unfortunately, the braids were too short, so they still drooped in front of his forehead and jumped up from time to time, which affected Kolo Toure's state.

"Damn it, cut this and change your hairstyle when you go back!"

Kolo Toure was also secretly dissatisfied with these braids that interfered with him. After all, Baros was able to successfully shoot just now, and he himself was also responsible.

If the defense just now had been more serious and one step faster, maybe Baros would never have gotten the chance to shoot this time!

Cech, who just got up from the ground, splashed the muddy water on his body, and this suit looked like he would never wear it again in the future.

Cech just watched Barosh's shot and rushed over. Fortunately, Barosh missed the kick.

He hopes for this kind of situation the most. Although a successful save seems to be a very proud statistic, Cech, as a goalkeeper, knows the tension whenever the opponent is about to shoot.

If possible, he would rather miss all the opponents when facing him, so as not to be so palpitating back and forth.

Without a big heart, there is no way to play in this kind of professional competition.

Although Cech's heart is good, he doesn't want to suffer this kind of stimulation every day-it's too exciting!
This jersey looks like it can't be worn anymore, but Cech himself doesn't know what the staff will do with these clothes after the game. Anyway, as a professional player, these jerseys and training clothes are thrown in directly after he takes them off. In the clothes basket, and when training and playing games every day, there will naturally be dry and tidy jerseys placed in the locker room cabinets.

In terms of these details, Arsenal has done a very good job, and the players don't need to worry about it at all.

In the past, players even had to clean their sneakers by themselves, but now they can leave it to the staff and concentrate on playing football by themselves.

Most of these are Shao Bo's innovations, but today's English clubs have basically learned these things.

The heavy rain has not stopped, Cech wiped his face, took the ball from the caddy's hand, and kicked the ball away.

Behind Petr Cech were thousands of Arsenal fans, and they were shouting loudly for the team: "Come on, Arsenal!"
