Chapter 125 The First Champion of the Season

Few teams can gain a huge advantage at the beginning of the season, ride the lead until they win the championship.In many cases, the situation of winning the championship will not be clear until the last few rounds.Either one family dominates, or several teams compete.

However, what is said here is the view of the league's championship situation.

In the cup match, it is still habitual to look at the strength and weakness of the club.

There will always be upsets, but in the finals, it is not easy.

As a hotbed of unpopularity, although the League Cup is not valued by the big giants, they have all reached the finals. Do they have to give up a champion that was handed over?
At the end of February, the League Cup successfully entered the final stage.

Surviving Fulham without any risk, Arsenal faced Southampton at the bottom of the league in the semi-finals.

Because only in the semi-finals of the League Cup, the game is not a knockout system.

After two rounds of home and away games, the disparity of 6:1 allowed Arsenal to advance to the final with their heads held high.

Their opponent is the second oldest club in the world, Sky City.Ah, no, not Sky City, but Stoke City Club.

Speaking of Stoke City, Shao Bo always thinks of the City of the Sky. This is because Stoke City still insists on itself and insists on holding high and playing high, forming a unique style after the Premier League has been integrated into the technical flow of ground play in later generations.

It's just that they are just struggling in England's third-tier league.I don't know how long it will take to get promoted to the Premier League.

In fact, as a third-tier league team, they were lucky to be able to defeat many powerful enemies all the way to get here.

But Shao Bo will not underestimate the opponent just because the current level of Stoke City is low.

The lion fights the rabbit with all its strength.Stoke City has already created a miracle of reaching the League Cup final, how can Shao Bo dare to rely on it?

In fact, for this game, he even gave up the last league game.The half-main and half-substitute team drew with their opponents, and the gap between Arsenal and Manchester United has widened.

But Shao Bo's efforts were not in vain.

The head coach attaches so much importance to it, how can the players dare to ignore their opponents?In the past few days, the players on the training ground worked very hard, and no one dared to affect Shao Bo, who was concentrating on the final.

The efforts of the players have not been in vain. They are also the defending champions of the top league.Compared with the current Stoke City, it has a huge advantage in strength.

The final was played very easily. In the 8th minute, Arsenal broke the deadlock on the field. Pettit took a corner kick from the right. Zola then stopped the ball and crossed it back to the middle. than 1!

Anelka scored again, although Shao Bo was very happy, but I am afraid that after the game, his brother will come to him again.

After observing the day before yesterday, Shao Bo felt that Anelka should not have paid much attention, and he was also very serious and focused during training and competition.

Aside from that questionable leave of absence, Anelka can be said to be a very dedicated player.If it wasn't for his elder brother showing up every few days, Shao Bo really wouldn't be able to sell Anelka.

This season, Arsenal's journey in the Champions League has come to an end.Anelka scored two impressive goals against Juventus and Real Madrid for Arsenal. The Spanish team has tried to offer him, but all of them were rejected by Shao Bo.

Now Anelka doesn't have any decent honors to add, and it can't reflect his worth.He's going to wait until after the World Cup to talk about it.

Anelka is now in the 1998-man squad for the 26 World Cup in France.According to his far more outstanding honor than in the past, maybe he will change history and enter the 23-man roster, officially becoming one of the French participating players?

As long as France continues to follow the historical track to win the championship, Shao Bo will be sorry for himself if he has a World Cup championship medal in hand.

Now, it's a little too early.

Shortly after the start, Stoke City conceded a goal.It's just that although they are in a low-level league, their long history doesn't make them feel much flustered.

Stoke City, who quickly stabilized their position and began to counterattack, also caught Arsenal by surprise.

1: 1!

I didn't expect the opponent to be so tenacious, but that's it.

The absolute strength gap between the two teams cannot be made up by some external forces.

If Arsenal underestimate the enemy, or the lineup is insufficient due to injuries or other things, Stoke City still has a chance.

But with the whole team working together and vowing to win the championship, Stoke City's efforts are ridiculous.

2:1, 3:1, ....

Arsenal, who won 6:1 in the end, also created the biggest difference in the League Cup final!
Arsenal, who won the championship, naturally celebrated in Wembley Stadium, the venue of the final.Nearly [-] spectators crowded here, watching Arsenal's winning moment.

Most of them are fans in London.

Although there are more Arsenal fans here than after filling Highbury, there are more than [-] tickets left for neutral fans.

Many London fans who like other clubs also came to Wembley to watch the League Cup final.

For all England fans, Wembley is their holy place.It carries the history of English football and the glory of the national team, and the iconic twin towers enshrine the pride of all England fans.

They all remember that here, in 1966, England beat Germany to win their only World Cup title.

However, Shao Bo didn't feel much about it.From the time he watched the game, the new Wembley Stadium was the one that impressed him the most. In the 2012 London Olympics, Shao Bo often saw the magnificent arch on TV.

After all, the twin towers have nothing to do with his past, but now, it is recorded here that Arsenal defeated Stoke City on February 1998, 2 and won the League Cup this season.

The biggest difference in the history of the League Cup final, such a story will be talked about by future generations.

However, although the old Wembley Stadium will be demolished around the new century.There is no need to be sad, in fact, next season, Shao Bo will come here more times.

Because of UEFA's latest regulations, the home stadium of the UEFA Champions League teams must meet the required capacity.

However, Highbury has only changed all standing seats into seats, and the number of spectators it can accommodate has been greatly reduced.After an application, the FA has agreed to Arsenal's use of Wembley Stadium as their Champions League home next season.

In fact, it is only a verbal promise now.After all, this season's league has not yet finished, and it is hard to say whether Arsenal can participate in the Champions League.It's just that no one believes that Arsenal with such a good momentum will not be able to enter the Champions League.

It is possible to say that they lost the league title in the competition with Manchester United.But as long as they get second in the league, Arsenal can also participate in the European Champions Cup.

Liverpool and Newcastle now seem to be a little less competitive.

There is no way, the current Arsenal has put all their energy into the construction of their training base, and the renovation and expansion of Highbury really can't spare manpower.

Moreover, Shao Bo already had an idea in mind, the idea of ​​building a new stadium in one step.It's just that the time is not yet ripe, and everything can't be announced yet.

In any case, Arsenal have won a championship.The bonuses promised in several major commercial contracts will arrive soon, right?

Think about the countless zeros in the bank account, and they will be thrown into the high-speed development industry by Shao Bo's vision beyond the current world, money begets money, money rolls money...

Shao Bo, who was drooling just thinking about it, held the championship trophy in one hand, and raised his index finger high with the other hand facing the sky—this is only the first one!
"Coach Shao Bo raised his index finger, what does that mean?"

The unidentified reporter stepped forward to inquire.After knowing the answer, they asked Shao Bo to announce it to the audience friends again in front of the camera.

The excited Shao Bo nodded to the cameraman and said.

"Yes, I raised my index finger just now, which means the first. Everyone knows that although Arsenal lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League, we still have the FA Cup and the league. In these two competitions, Arsenal are all likely to win the championship. I won the double last time. Although it is impossible to win the European championship this time, the triple crown still needs to be hit.”

"The domestic triple crown! This is also an unimaginable achievement. I don't know if Shao Bo, who dares to think and do, can achieve his wish. But at least for now, the first place in the league standings belongs to Manchester United."

The reporter explained on the sidelines.

Hearing that the reporter seemed to be more optimistic about Manchester United, Shao Bo felt dissatisfied and rushed over to say.

"Yes, Manchester United is indeed ahead of us now. But don't forget, although they also have no constraints in the European war, the FA Cup will also involve their energy. Moreover, in the league, we still have a game to go. Old Trafford to play. I'm looking forward to finally facing Manchester United in the FA Cup final and getting a few more victories before the end of the season!"

"According to our statistics, since you coached Arsenal, you have two draws and one loss against Manchester United. Are you so confident that you will win against Manchester United again?"

"Hehe, anyone who has watched the whole match between us and Manchester United this season will know clearly. I won't say much about the weird stoppage time at the end. But when we face Manchester United again, I will Will choose to kill the suspense before stoppage time begins."

"What a strong self-confidence, so let us wish Arsenal a good result!"

……

Although they won the League Cup final, the aftermath was that they lost the match against Newcastle in the next game.

This season seems to be double-killed by them, which is really not a good sign.

But at any rate, he won the League Cup first, and filled another gap.Strictly speaking, Shao Bo has gone farther and farther on the road to the achievement of being a champion trophy collector.
