Chapter 139 The Legendary Betrayal

Welcome the new season, and strive to create greater glories.

Even if the sun is scorching and the rain is pouring, the players will train on time and complete the normal training volume.However, it seems that because of winning the championship for two consecutive years, these players have some slack in their hearts during training.

Facing the old players, Shao Bo naturally couldn't say anything directly.But Shao Bo will not be polite when facing those young players.

And Shao Bo also has some tricks to motivate the players.

Sometimes he will choose to practice extra on weekends. Although the players will complain, Shao Bo will tell them that they will rest on Monday or Tuesday next week. This is just a change in training.

However, when the weekend training is over, Shao Bo will say that next Monday or Tuesday, the old players will not have to train, but the young players will still be able to come.

Who wants to consider themselves old?Naturally, all the players came to the training ground.

The amount of training is not large, but because of the compact scientific training method, it will extremely squeeze the physical strength of the players, make them exhausted, and squeeze their potential as much as possible.

It's just that after training, they will immediately carry out repairs and maintenance.Whether it is the prepared electric baths or various physical therapy equipment, they can support the players to recover their physical strength as soon as possible after hard training and avoid physical injuries.

The preparations before the season are always hard and boring. After all, the season has not started yet, and even the friendly matches are not very intensive.

Apart from a planned friendly in Monaco, Arsenal have been preparing for the game in London.

And this game is also the announcement of Henry's joining.

……

Before the start of the new Premier League season, there is another charity shield that has been held for many years as usual.

After a few months, both Arsenal and Manchester United entered the stadium again.

Last time, the two sides competed here for the FA Cup.This time, one is the league champion and the other is the FA Cup champion. Everyone is looking forward to winning the first championship of the season and getting a lottery!

The Charity Shield does have a curse that it is difficult to win this cup.But Shao Bo didn't care, Manchester United had already broken the curse, so why couldn't Arsenal stop it?
Although the two teams have been fighting each other for many years, they have not seen each other for a long time. Shao Bo and Ferguson still chatted for a while.In the past few years, England's championship has been almost monopolized by the two. Although they are hostile, every exchange at the same level will benefit them.

Compared with Manchester United, which has bought several big-name stars, Arsenal, which is cutting down on food and clothing for the training base, is poorer.But just because Manchester United has a few new players, the cooperation with the team is not tacit.

But Ferguson's Trinidad and Tobago native Yorke, who was acquired from Aston Villa, and Andy Cole formed the Black Wind Shuangsha, which also posed a huge threat to Arsenal.

Not to mention super substitutes Solskjaer and Sheringham, Ferguson's determination to make a comeback can be seen through amazing transfers one by one.

Not to mention, he won the confrontation with AC Milan this summer and won the Dutch iron guard Stam, and his defense will definitely be improved.

However, they are not cooperating tacitly now, and Arsenal seized the opportunity.Anelka's goal in the closing minutes of the match ended with the Charity Shield.

So far, Shao Bo once again filled a gap in his honor room.And Arsenal also won the first championship of the season, which deserves the fans' joy for a while.

Ferguson congratulated Shao Bo on winning the championship in a very gracious manner, perhaps because the old man took away the Charity Shield champions in the previous two years.He didn't care too much about this trophy.

Apart from their hostile positions, the two sides really had no personal grievances, and Shao Bo readily accepted the other party's congratulations.

It is a good thing for the team to win a championship just at the beginning of the season.It's just that there's a whole lot of fans outraged about something else.

Yes, all the Arsenal fans are mad at him.A player who played for Arsenal in the 70s and won the double.Later, as a head coach, he once again led the team to win the European championship.

George Graham, the meritorious coach who was investigated by the FA and fired by the club during his last period at Arsenal because of a bribery scandal.

George Graham has accepted a two-year contract from Leeds United following his departure from Arsenal.Today, after the contract expired, Tottenham threw an olive branch to him.

This season has not yet started, and everyone knows from White Hart Lane that the latest head coach hired by Tottenham is the former Arsenal legend, George Graham.

It was the first betrayal Arsenal had suffered in years.

Tottenham is Arsenal's century-old enemy and a derby opponent in the same city. There has been no personnel exchange between the two teams for many years.

It's not just a position, it's an opponent, it's a tradition that sinks into the neighborhood, into the whole of England.

Derby opponents are mortal enemies.

Graham could have been anywhere and will always be missed by Arsenal fans.Only after he went to White Hart Lane, the fans would only feel betrayed and unacceptable.

In his player era and coaching period, Graham brought several championship trophies to Arsenal, and the fans are very grateful to him.

Although the club dismissed Graham because of the bribery scandal, the fans didn't care. Everyone looked forward to the day when Graham could return to Highbury.

Although he later accepted an invitation from Leeds United after the FA ban expired, fans still wished him a good result at Elland Road.

At the end of the 97-98 season, Leeds United was able to achieve No.5 in the league, thanks to Graham.And since Shao Bo came to Arsenal, most of the confrontations with Leeds United have been drawn.

Everyone thought that Leeds United, which had already won a place in the UEFA Cup, would continue to go hand in hand with Graham. A news from White Hart Lane announced Graham's return to North London.

Although it is still North London, he is far away from Highbury, who used to be with him day and night, and far from the red shirt and white sleeves in the past.

For this legend deeply rooted in Arsenal's history, Shao Bo can only look forward to a complete victory in the next two games against Tottenham to win the support of the fans.

Needless to say, the two games against Tottenham this season are destined to become another indicator for fans to test Shao Bo.

This is an indicator as important as the championship!

In a blink of an eye, August will pass, and the annual Champions League draw ceremony will be held in Monaco again.The champion of the Champions League is what Shao Bo has been looking forward to.

The three major European cups, the European Cup Winners' Cup has also reached its last session.Waiting until next year, this event will no longer appear in UEFA's reformed European competitions.

And Shao Bo, who is about to participate in the Champions League, will no longer have the chance to win this trophy.

Although Arsenal beat Parma to win the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1994, they did not win it under Shao Bo.

Although it is a pity that he has not participated in this competition, Shao Bo doesn't care. His only goal now is the Champions League.

Since Juventus lost to Real Madrid last season and lost the European Champions Cup, which is close at hand, the Italian team has gradually declined.

Del Piero, who won the top scorer of the tournament with ten goals, is also here, an honor that belongs to top scorer.

After the speeches of several legendary stars, the draw ceremony for the UEFA Champions League group stage officially began.

The restructuring of the UEFA Champions League has not yet started, and it is still the first in the six groups to advance directly, and the two No.2s with the best results get the remaining two places.

The 24 teams that entered the main match are waiting for their own lottery in the small box in front of them. Everyone hates the death group, and everyone is looking forward to the smooth advancement of the sadistic fish belly.

The two strongest opponents Arsenal faced last season, Juventus and Real Madrid, each got a lucky group.

It is impossible for Galatasaray, Rosenborg and Athletic Bilbao to shake the Serie A giants.Although Inter Milan won the second place in Serie A last season, the remaining two Eastern European teams will not have any impact on Real Madrid.

At present, what can be called the group of death is the D group where Manchester United is located.Bayern Munich, Barcelona, ​​this seems to be the rhythm of occupying the top two.

Although Manchester United beat Barcelona last season, who can say for sure in the new season?
Arsenal's signing operation is good, Kip Dynamo, last season's Ligue [-] champion Lens, and Greek overlord Panathinaikos.

This means that Kipdynamo's strength can wrestle with Arsenal. Among them, the scene of their 4-0 victory over Barcelona in the group stage last year is still in my mind.

But so what?Kipdynamo's Shevchenko is naturally superior, but he is only one person.Shao Bo has already defeated Juventus, so how can he be afraid of an Eastern European team?
Except for Kip Dynamo, Shao Bo, who thinks that he can still sweep other teams, smiled and said nothing, and his confident appearance was photographed by the media.After the ceremony was over, he returned to London with David Dane, preparing for the next league game.

Since Arsenal's rise again in the past two years, they have won the double crown twice in two years.In the UEFA Champions League last season, they played against the champions and runners-up of the current UEFA Champions League one after another, winning and losing each other.

Like Real Madrid and Juventus, Arsenal has become a favorite to qualify for the group stage, and Shao Bo's confidence is also taken for granted.

Therefore, when he heard his grouping, the mysterious smile he inadvertently revealed at the ceremony was called "the confidence to win" by the media.

Shao Bo, who returned to London, did not care about the results of the European Super Cup held the next day.However, Chelsea finally won Real Madrid with a score of 1:0, which also vaguely explained some problems.
