Chapter 153

Shao Bo, who has led Arsenal to two double crowns, has indeed won the support of a large number of fans.

Now, they all expect Shao Bo to replicate the history of more than 60 years ago and win another three consecutive championships for the club.

The Champions League trophy has never been won. For a while, the fans fell into the happy dilemma of whether to choose the Champions League or the league.

Manchester United has one more FA Cup schedule than Arsenal, and Ferguson still has not given up the FA Cup.After all, after the strong signings in the summer, with the thickness of Manchester United's bench, it is not bad for such a front.

No matter where the opponent focuses, Arsenal must maintain itself and play the most important and basic league well.

From the current point of view, the current Arsenal is still the team with the lowest points among the three championship teams.It's just that the promotion to the semi-finals of the Champions League made the fans forget for a while that the team has an important problem-the problem of lineup thickness is serious.

The position of the main force can basically be guaranteed, but most of the substitutes have not reached the strength of the main players.The result is that once an important player is injured, Shao Bo has no one who can replace him.

Both the league and the Champions League seem to have the hope of winning the championship. According to the inertia of the previous two years, a small number of fans still think that the club may win the double crown again.

Only Shao Bo is now worried. Facing Real Madrid coached by Heynckes, he is also hesitant to give up a front.

Arsenal, who are fighting on two fronts, may not be able to support the moment of winning the championship, but Shao Bo can choose to choose one of the two options.

Is it going to replicate the glorious three consecutive league titles that year, or is it going to complete Arsenal's historic breakthrough to win the Champions League?

Every step that Shao Bo has taken in the Champions League now has opened up a new history for Arsenal.And if he chooses to replicate the achievements of the three consecutive championships, it seems that he has greater hopes?After all, the league is more familiar, and the chance of the Champions League is also greater.

But isn't there such a saying?
Three consecutive championships in the league is a dynasty.As the pioneer of Arsenal's new dynasty, it seems no less honor than the Champions League.

But how to say, now they have already reached the semi-finals.As one of the tasks of coming to this world, Shao Bo needs to win at least one Champions League for the team.Taking advantage of the expansion of the Champions League, winning the Champions League is the most important thing.

Some struggles, but Shao Bo finally decided to get the Champions League first.There are still three games, as long as you win, you can win the Champions League, and the league champion needs to fight for ten more games. Which one is more troublesome?
Shao Bo, who made up his mind, decided to hit the Champions League. Even if the league did not win, Shao Bo believes that they can at least qualify for the Champions League, so there is no need to worry.

Guest first, then home, this is the same schedule as when they played Juventus.

A good sign!Having experienced many games, Shao Bo is sometimes a little superstitious.

No team in England has beaten Real Madrid at the Bernabeu. Can Arsenal break the record first?

Apart from the fact that Arsenal had played two games with Valencia when they were fighting for the UEFA Cup, they have not met a Spanish team since Shao Bo took charge.

Well, in fact, it should be said that Shao Bo's coaching time is too short, and he never had the opportunity to meet so many clubs.If he coaches for another ten or eight years, it is estimated that he will be able to touch all the European giants.

With Heynckes coaching Madrid, it is naturally impossible for Shao Bo to underestimate his opponents. Whether it is the club or the head coach, they are all the objects that Shao Bo looked up to in the past.

With all substitutes on the bench, Arsenal lost a Premier League game at the weekend.They were overtaken by Liverpool once again, ranking third in the Premier League.

However, neither Shao Bo nor the fans cared about the result of such a game. The next midweek Champions League semi-final is what everyone cares about.

When he came to Madrid, the capital of Spain, Shao Bo didn't bother to go shopping.Shao Bo turned a blind eye to the beautiful girl with tooth pulled from West or the beautiful scenery.

The pressure I put on myself is a bit too much, Shao Bo thinks so.However, he was afraid that if these two games were lost, wouldn't the previous sacrifices in the league be meaningless?

The mentality of worrying about gains and losses has been harassing Shao Bo since he got on the plane. Even the delicious Spanish paella can't attract him anymore.

The assistant coach Pat Rice who discovered the problem knocked on Shao Bo's door after they finished the second day of adaptive training. No one knew what the two had said in the hotel.

At least, on the training ground, no one can see Shao Bo frowning.

……

In a football stadium that can accommodate more than [-] people, Shao Bo walked out of the player tunnel ahead of time.

Since it is the first time for Arsenal players to play here, they need to get used to the venue for a while.Whether it is the aspect ratio of the court or the density of the turf.

At the player tunnel, Shao Bo saw Heynckes walking out.After walking a few steps first, Shao Bo went forward to shake hands with him.Shao Bo admired the handsome old man in front of him.The last Champions League trophy has proved the strength of this old coach.

For Shao Bo, who later generations have seen Heynckes lead Bayern from "Sanya King" to "Triple Crown" when he was about to retire, there is nothing to say about the tactical ability of this old man.

It seems that Real Madrid's habit of changing coaches frequently hasn't occurred yet. At least judging from Heynckes' performance in the past two years of coaching, I'm afraid Real Madrid's top executives haven't figured out a reason yet, right?

The biggest feature of Heynckes is the balance of offense and defense. As a player, he played in the Bundesliga for many years and then coached Borussia Mönchengladbach and other teams. His tactical style combines the characteristics of Germany and Spain. A formidable opponent.

Moreover, more importantly, he can change the team according to local conditions, and he does not have a clear habit of tactical play.Even if Shao Bo wants to find out the opponent's weakness and make a targeted attack, it may be difficult to do so.

However, Shao Bo, who had a long talk with Pat Rice, was also bearish.Looking at the results of these two games now, if they lose at the Bernabeu today, Shao Bo may simply give up the next round of the game and focus on the league championship.

After all, as Pat Rice said, he's still young and has plenty of time to spare.

"Think about it, I'm so old, I haven't won the Champions League yet. I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?"

Shao Bo, who was enlightened, just waited quietly for the start of the game, and his previous restless mentality had already been swept away.

Even if world-class stars such as Raul, Redondo, and Roberto Carlos walked in front of Shao Bo, he didn't have the slightest excitement.

Maybe it's just getting used to it?Maybe it was the rare peace of mind before the competition?
Heynckes left a good impression on Shao Bo, and at this time he has not yet turned gray.After a few words of politeness between the two, Shao Bo suddenly thought of a sentence in German he had learned, and used it.

"We will be the first team in England to win against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu."

After listening, Heynckes frowned, thought about it and said with a smile: "Is it the first English team to beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu?"

Well, Shao Bo has not mastered German yet.Now Heynckes, who is a German, picked out the grammatical errors for Shao Bo.

A little ashamed, but Shao Bo immediately thought of a way to counterattack: "Do you also think that Arsenal will be the first team to beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu? It seems that we have a common language."

Seeing Shao Bo's blushing, Heynckes knew that he had thought of it on the spur of the moment in order not to admit defeat, he laughed and turned and walked towards the coach's seat.

……

In fact, Arsenal did not fulfill Shao Bo's wish and became the first team in England to beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

On the court, Raul's outstanding performance was reflected in the final moments of the game.After receiving a pass from Redondo, he shot a wonderful arc. David Seaman couldn't intercept it and could only watch the ball into the net.

Raul, who scored in this game, also scored six goals in the UEFA Champions League this season. He and Shevchenko have become the current top scorer in the UEFA Champions League.

At the same time, because Shevchenko's Kipdynamo team has been eliminated by Inter Milan, as long as Raul scores another goal in the second half, he will be able to enjoy the reputation of the top scorer in this UEFA Champions League.

Real Madrid had two goals from Raul and Seedorf at home, and Arsenal also had Overmars and Anelka to fight back.

The 2:2 draw has given Shao Bomo enough confidence.Even if the opponent is strong, Arsenal are not weak.

Two away goals, now Arsenal have the advantage.The next round will be back in London. Shao Bo believes that it is not a dream for them to enter the Champions League final!
In the next round of the game, even if they stick to 0:0, they can enter the final with the advantage of away goals, and Shao Bo is not worried about the thickness of Arsenal's defense.

At the same time, the match between Manchester United and Inter Milan has also ended.The two teams in England each brought a sad news and a happy news.

Although Arsenal only got a draw, but because of the two away goals, the media believed that the national team could finally enter the final.

Manchester United lost 2-0 to their opponents at Old Trafford at home and lost two important away goals in a row. The hope of the final is even slimmer.

The current gap between Manchester United and the two teams behind them in the league is not too big. As long as there is a victory or defeat, the ownership of the championship will be reversed.

Has Manchester United, fighting on the third front, finally felt tired?Shao Bo is also waiting for this day to come.At least, Manchester United's defeat will relieve the pressure on Shao Bo's heart.

Arsenal, who had a historic breakthrough to the Champions League final, no longer took into account their tired body, and launched an impact at the last moment of the season!
