Chapter 593 Manchester United's "Seven Ups"

The Calciopoli incident that swept through Italy is good news for Arsenal in England.

AC Milan, Juventus...

The Calciopoli incident shook the entire Italian football world.

Inter Milan seems to be alone and unaffected, but they have already said goodbye to this Champions League.

Only AC Milan is currently Arsenal's rival to the Champions League final!
Fortunately, before the start of the second round, AC Milan had nothing to do with this matter.

All of a sudden, AC Milan's deployment for next season was completely disrupted.

People are panicking!

Now Juventus and AC Milan are the main teams responsible for the "Phonegate" incident, and both teams are facing relegation penalties.

You're about to be relegated, so why are you still thinking about competing for the championship?

If they cannot play in Serie A or the Champions League next season, it will definitely have a great impact on their careers.

The importance of the top league and the Champions League is self-evident for top players.

Fame, bonuses, influence...

Since the "Phonegate" incident came out, Juventus lost all the next two games, and the defeat was like a mountain.

AC Milan has two consecutive draws.

Now, people no longer have any hope that AC Milan can win at Arsenal's home court.

Although Arsenal did not get an important away goal in Italy.

But looking at the state of AC Milan's game, it seems that it is difficult for them to draw with Arsenal at home.

But Shao Bo was not really ecstatic as reported by the outside media.

Reminiscent of the 2006 World Cup in Germany in memory, Italy still won the championship after the "telephone gate" incident was exposed, and Shao Bo dared not let his heart down.

Who knows, will this kind of "convulsion" state be hit by Arsenal?
Regardless of whether there is such a possibility, Shao Bo must take precautions before it happens.

This time, under Shao Bo's prediction, Ancelotti is likely to focus on defense and try to drag the game to a penalty shootout.

Since neither team scored a goal in the last round, as long as the game is still a draw, they have to shoot out to decide the winner.

This is beneficial to AC Milan, which is currently in poor condition.

Although it is said that the state is not good, but this state refers more to the performance on the court. The most important thing is naturally the state of 10 minutes.

As for the penalty shootout, it is even luck that decides everything in many cases.

In Shao Bo's view, if a penalty shootout is to be played, it will be more beneficial to AC Milan.

When thinking about the way your opponent behaves, be sure to put yourself in the opponent's shoes.

Shao Bo collected a large amount of information on AC Milan, followed Ancelotti's character and behavior habits as much as possible, and finally came to this conclusion by paying a large service fee to a high-end consulting company.

The Champions League game is not that simple.

In the past, sometimes Shao Bo could make a rough guess based on the relevant information he had, but now it is so critical, and now that only the last few games are left to complete the seven crowns, Shao Bo dare not make a mistake .

The penalty shootout will make AC Milan have a higher success rate in reaching the Champions League final, and it is more suitable for today's team to focus on defense and give up offense.

Italy's defense is famous all over the world. Their defensive method is to restrict the opponent's performance through the cooperation between players and the tight and complete formation.

After the positioning and defense are done well, they don't care about the rest.

As for whether it is a long shot or a cross, there are fewer restrictions compared to other league defense methods.

Because AC Milan's players are very understanding with each other, this defensive method will not consume too much energy, and it will not easily expose loopholes for the opponent to play. They can more easily keep the gate.

However, this will cause their formation to retreat relatively, and their ability to advance directly into the opponent's penalty area is not strong.

It means passing the ball from the defensive box to the midfield, which is very simple.

But it is extremely difficult to bring the ball to the opponent's penalty area.

England's defense is very different.

Mourinho is the current representative of England's extreme defense.

Mourinho's defense, you can call it whatever you want. Whether it is a deadly defense or a bus, the purpose is to fight back.

Counter-robbery on the spot, press close to the body directly, and counterattack directly!
Anti-counterattack, compared with ordinary positional attacks, is the most advantageous point. When defending counter-counterattack, you are actually facing a line of defense that has been broken and is no longer complete.

It is relatively easier to fight more with more than to fight more with less.

In fact, according to analysis, they have excellent players such as Kaka and Shevchenko, and they are very likely to use the opportunity in the middle to fight back.

First, he was pressed by Arsenal for a while, and then used the counterattack to secretly score one or two goals to ensure victory. After that, he did not care about it and concentrated on guarding the goal. Many times, the goals in Serie A happened at the beginning of the game. After that, the leading side began to focus on defense, which is quite similar to Arsenal in the Graham era in the early 90s.

If the trailing side wants to attack more violently in order to regain the score, then the leading side is likely to rely on counterattacks to score more goals and gain a bigger lead.

This point cannot be ignored!
The key is summed up, one is the need for a strong offensive ability to break through the gate of AC Milan.

The other one is to resolutely not give AC Milan a chance to fight back.

Otherwise, as long as they get an away goal, Arsenal will be very passive.

AC Milan are better at counterattacking in the center, while Chelsea are on the wing. There is a big difference between the two.

It is impossible to copy the coping method intact.

The only thing that makes people feel more at ease is that Italian teams like AC Milan have very average mental attributes. As long as they lead, they will easily be at a loss when they are behind, and eventually either lose the game altogether, or after struggling Finally, drop more balls and lose the game...

Although AC Milan has been affected by the "Phone Gate", the relevant investigations have not yet been completed, and the verdicts are all just rumors.

No one knows what fate AC Milan and Juventus will face.

Everything is panic under the influence of gossip.

I am afraid that only Shao Bo will know the final outcome of these teams.

first instance:
Juventus was really relegated, AC Milan deducted points, and according to the ranking, they will miss the UEFA Champions League next season.

Teams such as Fiorentina and Lazio are also relegated plus points deducted...

When it came to the second trial and the final judgment, the punishment became lighter each time.

Except for Juventus, the main offender, all other teams have escaped the bad luck of relegation.

Although AC Milan was also deducted a few points, they still guaranteed their qualification for the Champions League next season.

At that time, Shao Bo heard that in order to keep AC Milan, Berlusconi used his connections behind the scenes.

But now everyone still doesn't know what the specific situation will be. It's just that people are panicking. It hasn't reached the situation where people betray their relatives, trees fall and monkeys scatter.

Seeing that the second round of the Champions League match between AC Milan and Arsenal is about to start, how could Shao Bo allow AC Milan and the others to come to London easily?
Seeing someone setting fire to the news, Shao Bo had to join in the fun.

Under his instruction, a Mr. Tang, who did not want to be named, predicted in the newspaper the possible penalty results of several teams.

Soon, several England-related newspapers began to fan the flames and hype the "Callgate" incident in Italy, predicting that AC Milan and Juventus would suffer relegation together.

It just makes them panic and despair even more!

In the second round of this Champions League semi-final match, the mental state of the stars is very demanding.

As long as a little bit of performance is not good enough, it is easy to have problems.

It is very possible that they will miss the victory.

The gap between top players and first-class players can be described as a slight difference, but the value of top players is several times that of first-class players.

why?
It is because these top players have the ability to make the final decision in key games!

Most of the first-class players are just able to adapt to a certain system. As long as they are restricted, they will no longer be able to show their full state.

How can this work at the critical moment of the championship?

This is the important reason why the rich teams all want to have top players!

The rich teams don't care much about money anymore, and it doesn't make any difference to spend a little more money and a little less money.

However, the championship trophy is different.

As long as they can perform well in key games, even if the cost performance is not high, it doesn't matter to the rich teams.

Ordinary clubs cannot do this because their finances cannot support the team to meet this condition.

The same is true for Arsenal in the past.

In order to build an advanced training ground, in order to build a brand new stadium...

Introduce, improve training, living facilities...

Arsenal have not done a good enough job of bringing in players and increasing their wages.

The key to their ability to attract players is that here, with Shao Bo, they can always win enough championships.

Without the attraction of the championship, it is hard to imagine that those players invited by Real Madrid, Barcelona and AC Milan will restrain their desire to leave.

Loyalty is a fine virtue to be admired.

But it is precisely because few people, some players can do this, that people will greatly appreciate the term loyalty.

I hope everyone can do this as much as possible.

In the face of infidelity, uncontrollable disgust and anger welled up in my heart.

After nearly ten years of coaching, Shao Bo has become more optimistic.

If it doesn't affect the team's performance, if he wants to leave, Shao Bo will not force him to stay.

Moreover, Arsenal's current financial situation is much better than that of Shao Bo's era.

In fact, with a not-so-low salary and attractive championship trophies, there will not be so many players who will rush to leave.

However, this year, if Arsenal really complete the Champions League three consecutive championships and the goal of seven championships this season, I am afraid that the mentality of most players will change.

At club level, they will have nothing worth pursuing.

Having won all seven crowns, what honor is more worthy of boasting than this?
In terms of honor, they are probably only left at the national team level.

Shao Bo is not sure whether his team can pass the obstacle of AC Milan and reach the final, let alone win the Champions League.

In fact, there are still two games in the Premier League. In theory, Chelsea still have a chance to surpass them.

The same is true for the FA Cup final. Before the final whistle of the game, everything is unknown.

None of the three important championship results has yet been decided.

But if everything is confirmed, Arsenal has really won seven championships. In fact, there is still a problem for the club.

raise!

They have created such brilliance, isn't there a big salary increase?
With the honor already covered, they can only choose to pursue money.

Under such circumstances, players who can still insist on ordinary salaries without complaining have almost disappeared.

Even Gerrard and Totti, players who have never left the team, have always been at the highest level in the club in terms of salary.

Unless the state is declining and the age is too old, the issue of salary reduction and contract renewal will be considered.

For Arsenal, whether or not the seven crowns can be achieved is an upcoming problem.

After the end of the season, you must face it!

In fact, some players' agents have sent Shao Bo messages, emails, phone calls, and even came to see him in person.

It's nothing more than wanting to discuss salary increase and contract renewal.

But Shao Bo didn't see anyone.

Before the end of the season, all players do not have to consider the issue of contract renewal.

Anyway, most of the players have several years left in their contracts, and Arsenal have full control of the initiative.

In addition, Shao Bo didn't want to waste time and energy on trivial details such as contract renewal and salary at this critical time.

Those things, wait until next season to talk about it.

In the next two seasons, Arsenal's salary will definitely increase significantly, and it will gradually approach the salary of Chelsea and Real Madrid. The rich teams actually earn more and spend more.

Chelsea's results are not at the level of giants, but their spending is not much worse than that of Real Madrid and other teams.

In order to retain excellent players, to ensure the combat effectiveness of the team, and to improve the image of the giants, Arsenal will definitely relax in terms of salary.

Perhaps, some players will be dissatisfied with the salary reserved by Shao Bo, so there is no way.

You can only ask them to leave and find another job.

In fact, as long as he has two years of experience in Arsenal, no matter what kind of player he is, it seems that he can add a layer of "Arsenal halo" and his value will increase by a layer.

This also seems to reflect the influence of Arsenal.

Only wealthy clubs have the ability to make their players worth more than they actually are.

Equivalent to brand effect.

However, Arsenal want to really reach the level of AC Milan and Real Madrid, and want to catch up with their accumulation of more than five Champions League titles.

This year's seven crowns are bound to be won!
In a short period of time, no matter how defiant Arsenal is, they will not be able to surpass their decades of accumulation.

However, if they really accomplish the feat of seven championships this season, with the speed of media communication beyond the era, Arsenal will inevitably overwhelm all the giants in Europe and become the No. 1 in European football in the hearts of many fans. [-]!

Chelsea, when Abrahimovic started investing in the team, gradually spread his reputation from England to Europe, and even around the world.

In the past two years, although they have not won the Premier League championship, many fans have already regarded Chelsea as a rival to Manchester United due to their frequent appearance at the top of the Premier League standings and their entanglement with Arsenal and Manchester United. , Arsenal are almost a team at the same level, and more attention has been paid to them.

In recent years, the growth rate of Chelsea fans has increased with the spread of the Premier League around the world.

They can be regarded as catching up with a good time. The strong expansion of the Premier League and Abrahimovic's investment coincided with the same period.

Arsenal is also taking advantage of the east wind of the Premier League, and has gradually caught up with Manchester United in business development and other aspects under the good results of almost monopolizing the Premier League championship in these years.

Arsenal's business development has always been inferior to Manchester United's. On the one hand, it is because the team did not invest enough in this area and paid attention to it.

However, Manchester United almost monopolized the Premier League in the 90s, while Arsenal has monopolized most of the Premier League champions since the new century.

Today, in terms of influence, Arsenal has surpassed Manchester United and Liverpool, and has become the representative of English football.

In terms of the total number of championships, Arsenal can't compare with Liverpool, which has accumulated a lot in the 80s. However, they have not won any league championship for more than ten years. Liverpool's influence is declining year by year, especially last year, and they did not complete Istanbul. Miracle, a great opportunity to revive the recovery was lost.

It will take time for Liverpool to regain its supremacy in England.

Before the start of the second leg of the Champions League match between Arsenal and AC Milan, the game between Barcelona and Manchester United had already been declared over.

3:0, in the Nou Camp Stadium, Barcelona beat Manchester United.

In the last round, Barcelona won Manchester United at home 4:0. This time they abused the Red Devils who had no fighting spirit at home.

It directly caused the grand occasion with a total score of 7:0!
This is the biggest difference since the restructuring of the Champions League semi-finals!
The creators are Barcelona and Manchester United!

After the game, Ferguson was exhausted and announced a news that shocked the world football at the press conference:

He will officially retire after the end of this season!
