Chapter 510 Ambition!

In the summer, players are on vacation and club staff are preparing for transfer negotiations.

After Shao Bo grasped the general direction, he didn't need to manage the detailed rules.

The team still needs to make targeted supplements to the defense. Although Eboue has confirmed that he will join Arsenal in the new season, he can only be regarded as a substitute player.

For the time being, Eboue has not yet played the main position in the team.

Terry, Rio Ferdinand and Kolo Toure have been Arsenal's main central defenders for a season.

In the position of central defender, it is actually not enough to arrange three players to rotate, but at that time Shao Bo was also preparing to train the young players in the team.

Unfortunately, the effect is not very ideal.

In the new season, Arsenal will still fight on multiple fronts, and the journey of football is to not advance or retreat.

As long as Shao Bo's performance is slightly worse than last season, countless people will criticize them.

Moreover, Arsenal's multi-line battles in the new season, their goals can only be higher than in the past, not lower, which means that in addition to the two championships of the Premier League and the Champions League, Arsenal will also target two domestic cups. Shock!

Now Arsenal has completed a Champions League defense. As long as they can win another Champions League trophy, they will be able to complete the Champions League three consecutive championships. Just like Real Madrid and Ajax, they won a Champions League trophy for this reason and keep it permanently in its honor showroom.

This is Shao Bo's goal.

Otherwise, with the two Champions League trophies, Arsenal is now only on par with Nottingham Forest and Manchester United, and not as good as Liverpool's four Champions League trophies.

If Arsenal can complete the three consecutive Champions League titles, although they are still inferior to Liverpool in total, this can also be regarded as the creation of a dynasty, and they will not be much inferior to Liverpool's glory back then.

More importantly, because of the Istanbul night, Arsenal replaced Liverpool as the winning club. With the four Champions League trophies in hand, Liverpool is still not eligible to put the authenticity of the championship trophy in its honor showroom for permanent preservation.

This subtle gap can also reflect the differences between the top giants.

If Arsenal fail to successfully complete the Champions League three consecutive Champions League titles in the new season, they will have no chance to complete this achievement again.

After all, in Shao Bo's memory, UEFA will introduce new regulations around 08. In the future, the genuine Champions League trophy will never be handed over to any club.

Regardless of whether they have completed the Champions League three consecutive championships, or have won a total of five Champions League achievements.

The goal of three consecutive Champions League titles is one, which is a long-term plan.

But in Shao Bo's mind, he still has another ambition no less than the Champions League three consecutive championships - that is to complete the legendary seven championships!
The Triple Crown is already quite an achievement.

The "Triple Crown" mentioned here means that a team wins the top league championship in the country, the highest domestic cup championship and the highest level intercontinental league championship in the continent in the same season, which is the true triple crown.

Otherwise, the three champions of the League Cup, FA Cup and Community Shield are counted together, and there are also three. Can it also be called the Triple Crown?

In the more than 100 years of modern football development history, only three teams, Celtics, Ajax, and PSV Eindhoven, have achieved the true triple crown in ancient times.

After Shao Bo stepped into the football world, only Manchester United coached by Ferguson had achieved this achievement.

This is also one of the reasons why Manchester United has gradually declined over the years, but its influence remains unabated.

Compared with the Triple Crown, what is even more powerful is naturally to win other domestic league championships, Super Cup championships... on the basis of these three championships.

In 1972, Ajax once completed a "five crowns" achievement (Dutch first division champion, Dutch Cup champion, European Champions Cup champion, European Super Cup champion, Intercontinental Cup champion).

The most awesome and most difficult achievement is naturally to get all the champions that can be won.

In Shao Bo's memory, there is only one Barcelona Dream Team, once known as the "Cosmic Team", who has completed it.

In fact, Ajax in the 70s was just as awesome. They not only completed five championships, but also completed three consecutive Champions League titles.

At that time, there was no Club World Cup, and there was no Toyota Cup, the predecessor of the Club World Cup-but the Intercontinental Cup was the predecessor of the Toyota Cup.

It's just that there was no Super Cup in the Netherlands at that time, which led to Ajax, which ruled the entire Europe at the time, only to complete the five crowns, and had no chance to complete the six crowns ahead of Barcelona.

It’s just that the football publicity and media development at that time were not as developed as they are today. Otherwise, according to the current situation that any little demon can be blown up to the sky, Barcelona was once blown into a cosmic team beyond this earth, Ajax It should be a super-dimensional team beyond this universe.

Although the powerful Ajax has long since disappeared in the long river of history, it is blurred in people's memory and dusty under the dust of time.

But the "cosmic team" in Shao Bo's memory is what Shao Bo remembers deeply.

In this time and space, Barcelona has just formed the second dream team-because they have not won the second Champions League trophy in history, so this dream second is still not worthy of the name, and dream three is still far away.

But this does not affect Shao Bo's pursuit of this goal.

Even in this time and space, Barcelona's "six crowns" dominance may not be repeated, but it does not prevent Shao Bo from using this achievement as a yardstick to motivate himself.

Didn't Barcelona once complete the "six crowns"?

Then Arsenal's goal is very simple, which is to surpass Barcelona and become the unprecedented "seven crowns"!
Barcelona's "six crowns" are La Liga, Champions League, Copa del Rey, Spanish Super Cup, European Super Cup and the Club World Cup.

There is a domestic league, a Champions League, a domestic cup, and the rest are cups where a single game can determine the outcome.

This means that, in fact, the team mainly fights on the third line. Although it is difficult, it is not as difficult as people think to win the six championships.

More, it takes a little bit of luck.

Shao Bo has the confidence to surpass Barcelona and set a benchmark that Barcelona will never surpass in this time and space, that is, England has one more domestic cup than other regions.

Generally speaking, a country has only one cup, such as the Copa del Rey in La Liga and the German Cup in the Bundesliga.

But England has an FA Cup and a League Cup.

The League Cup is similar to the Copa del Rey or something.

The FA Cup is the first football match in modern football history!
The first official regular, football event.

It has been more than 1872 years since the Rangers won the first FA Cup in history by defeating the Royal Engineers with a score of 1:0 in 100.

The history of the FA Cup even exceeds the history of Arsenal's team building.

This is one of the reasons why the FA Cup is dubbed the "Ancestral Cup".

Even in the minds of many older fans, the FA Cup is much more important than the Premier League.

Probably, in the 80s and [-]s, the importance of the FA Cup was gradually replaced by the developed League One, which gradually became the second most influential competition in England.

England has two domestic cup competitions, which has caused Premier League clubs to spend more energy domestically.

However, Arsenal can only have the opportunity to complete the feat of seven crowns!
Although it is still only a goal and has not been completed yet, this does not prevent Shao Bo from making it the goal of Arsenal's next struggle!
Seven crowns!
Shao Bo knew that if he said it, it would only make people laugh. Even if he and the players said this goal, it would only arouse their amazement and panic.

You know, just after Shao Bo and the others successfully defended the Champions League, some media once asked Shao Bo what his goals are for the new season.

Shao Bo made it very clear at the time that he wanted to complete the three consecutive Champions League championships.

At that time, Shao Bo saw strong doubts in the reporter's eyes.

It's not that he has any dissatisfaction or hatred towards Arsenal, it's just that he simply feels that it is quite amazing to have completed the Champions League defense that no one has completed in decades. He wants to win the Champions League three times in a row-this is simply a Mission impossible!
The reporter really didn't believe that Arsenal could really replicate the miracles of Real Madrid and Ajax in their era.

After all, back then, without the influence of the Bosman Act, the movement of players between major clubs was not as easy as it is now, and the consulting media was not as developed as it is now.

This has also led to the fact that now that any new tactic is used, in just a short period of time, someone will be able to think of a way to crack it, which is nothing more than the degree of difficulty of cracking.

And as long as there is a crack, it is impossible for the club to win all the championships, and it is definitely possible to lose the game.

It's okay to lose an ordinary game. If it is a key cup game, then Arsenal will not be able to complete the achievement of seven crowns.

Year after year, if it continues like this, Shao Bo can't guarantee that he still has enough energy and enthusiasm to launch an impact on this goal.

And, the same goes for the players.

Ordinary players are quite satisfied with being able to win the domestic cup championship, strong teams aim at the domestic league, and giants use the domestic league as a basis to launch an impact on the Champions League.

However, there are so many strong teams in Europe. How many teams have won the Champions League when only two clubs can reach the Champions League final in a year?
In the 50-year history of the Champions League so far, the clubs that have won the Champions League can also be easily counted.

After careful calculation, among the Champions League champions, it seems that England has the most teams.

Most of the players in the Arsenal team are veterans who have defended the Champions League with the team-the age may not be particularly old, but the experience and qualifications are enough.

This means that they have almost nothing to impact on their honor.

Even if Arsenal has not invested energy in domestic cup competitions in recent years, it does not mean that these players who have enjoyed the delicacy of the Champions League are still willing to work hard to continue playing in the domestic league.

The influence of the FA Cup and the League Cup today is still not as great as that of the Premier League and the Champions League.

As a result, the players who are currently staying in the Arsenal team are not so thirsty for honors, they are not so thirsty for championships, and naturally they still hope to convert honors into money-call requests for salary increases, in this season After the end, the constant resounding resounded in the Arsenal renewal office.

It is okay to raise salaries for one player or two players, but once they become Champions League champions, the entire team, except for the players who have completed the latest contract renewal negotiations in the winter, the vast majority of players will need something in this regard of.

No one will feel that they are making more money!

It's just that the combination of these salary increase requests will suddenly increase the club's operating costs a lot!
The club has its own salary structure, which affects the whole body.

The team still has some debts, so the team's salary cannot be adjusted casually, otherwise, this level of adjustment will mean that the club will undergo major financial changes!
At present, among the Premier League clubs, only Abrahimovic's Chelsea and Manchester United have higher wages than Arsenal. If Arsenal raises too much this time, they will become the team with the most wages in the Premier League!

At present, the team has not reached such a high level in terms of profitability-although they earn a lot, the expenses are not small.

Compared with the high wages that Real Madrid, Barcelona and Chelsea can afford, Arsenal really can't guarantee that the players can resist this temptation.

This means that in this summer, there will definitely be a group of players who will leave the club.

More or less, depending on the situation.

Moreover, according to the injury, Bergkamp seems to be unable to play in a short period of time, which will also affect the team's combat effectiveness invisibly.

Originally, the club had to fight on multiple fronts in the new season. If the players were not so eager for the championship and lacked passion, if the team still lacked enough players—let alone the seven championships, even the Champions League Three consecutive championships are just a dream.

Shao Bo doesn't know if he can successfully complete the goal he has set now, but he has to work hard in everything, if he doesn't try once, he will never know the result.

If you don't work hard, Arsenal will never win the Champions League and the championship.

Maybe, just like the Rangers team, from the first and second championships of the world's first modern football tournament, the FA Cup, to the present, even if Shao Bo searched, he couldn't find the ball. Team.

Perhaps, that team has long since died, gone bankrupt or been swallowed up by other clubs.

To avoid this from happening, Arsenal must work hard to fight for the championship while they still retain most of their fighting power!

After all, if in this time and space, in 2008, the authentic Champions League champions were really banned from being permanently stored in the club, Arsenal would never have a chance again.

Because they need three consecutive championships or five consecutive championships, Arsenal only have the option of three consecutive championships.

If they fail in the new season, there will never be a genuine Champions League trophy in Arsenal's Hall of Fame in Islington, north London.

It has been nine years since Shao Bo came to this world, and after the new season, it will be a full ten years.

If all goes well, Shao Bo hopes to resign and stay at home.

During these years as the head coach, Shao Bo felt a heavy responsibility from the initial curiosity and excitement to later.

This kind of responsibility is getting heavier and heavier, making Shao Bo a little breathless.

Every year, it can only improve to a higher level. If there is a slight failure, it will disappoint an unknown number of people.

The pressure brought by anticipation is heavy, which makes Shao Bo feel a little overwhelmed.

Physically, although he is still very healthy because he keeps exercising all the year round, Shao Bo feels very old mentally.

Otherwise, if calculated according to Shao Bo's past time and space, Shao Bo should be younger than Emma, ​​but in this time and space, he is Emma's elder—if it is not that there is too much difference in appearance between an Easterner and a Westerner, outsiders It is not impossible to think that they are father and daughter.

The mental pressure is huge, and Shao Bo has only one way to relieve this pressure-that is to resign as the head coach of Arsenal.

In the future, after he and Emma get married, they will take good care of their wives and raise their children at home, enjoying a leisurely and prosperous life.

A person's life does not need to run non-stop forever. Sometimes it is a good choice to stop and enjoy the beautiful scenery on the side of the road.

If it weren't for the reason of having Arsenal, Shao Bo might have chosen this path a long time ago.

Be a rich man with peace of mind and a relaxed queen.

Choose another talented person as Arsenal's new head coach, Ancelotti, Del Bosque, Capello, Lippi... There are still many famous coaches in the world, and Arsenal can't afford to hire them.

If it weren't for the nuances of the world that led to Professor Wenger teaching economics at his hometown university, Shao Bo would have wanted Wenger to coach Arsenal.

Ferguson has thought of retiring and being idle many times, but he always picks up the coach again in the new season.

Shao Bo is now thinking of resigning after becoming famous, but even he himself does not know whether he will really leave the position of head coach.

But in any case, Shao Bo wanted to win seven championships for Arsenal before he left, which was counted as the last glory he created before he left.

The best memories for people before they retreated into the background themselves!
