Chapter 154 Veteran Zola
In the last few games of the season, Arsenal no longer take physical exertion into consideration.Work hard to win.

Back in London, they began to deal with their domestic rivals. With two consecutive victories, they once again surpassed Liverpool and only one point behind Manchester United.

Even if Liverpool has only one front in the league, they are still obsessed with the dream of chasing the league championship.In March, serious injuries to two important players have weakened Liverpool's competitiveness, and now they are barely able to compete with Manchester United and Arsenal for the league title.

Relying on strict defense, Arsenal finally drew 0:0 with Real Madrid at Wembley Stadium with a home score of 2:2.Although the game was quite thrilling, Real Madrid had several chances to score, but they failed to form a real goal
Relying on the advantage of extra away goals, Arsenal defeated last season's defending champions and advanced to the final.

On the other side, Manchester United also came to a Jedi counterattack at the San Siro Stadium.Although they lost 0:2 at home to their opponents in the first round against Inter Milan, Ferguson did not give up the Champions League in the second round.

The united Manchester United finally scored three goals in a row at the San Siro Stadium, and finally drew with Inter Milan.Like Arsenal, they also advanced to the final by virtue of the advantage of more away goals.

And this year's Champions League final will be a duel between Arsenal and Manchester United!

The fact that the two English teams actually managed to meet in the final was unprecedented.Does this indicate that English football, which has been banned from Europe for many years and whose level has dropped a lot, has begun to fully recover?
The interested media also noticed that Arsenal and Manchester United defeated an Italian team respectively.So, the grand occasion of Serie A's "Little World Cup" is about to be replaced by the Premier League?England's media are imagining such a beautiful day.

At least, the situation where two teams from the same national league meet in the Champions League final has never happened in the nearly 50-year history of the Champions League.

At the beginning, because the participating teams can only be the champions of their own leagues, this achievement will definitely not be completed.Only when there are more teams from the same country in the participating teams, the possibility of civil wars between clubs from the same country in the final will be greater.

This is why when Shao Bo was a fan, he had seen no less than four times in the 21st century that two teams from the same country could meet in the final.

In any case, this represents a certain degree of improvement in the level of the domestic league.The impact on Arsenal's own reputation is even greater.

On this occasion, Arsenal has already played against last season's champion and runner-up in this season's Champions League, and they are still able to successfully advance.

The gunners' red shirts and white sleeves have been engraved in the minds of European audiences. Now they have a much higher call to win the championship than Manchester United.

And only led the team to participate in two UEFA Champions League matches, Shao Bo successfully brought Arsenal to the final, which is also an extremely remarkable achievement.

The media all ran to London, trying to interview Shao Bo.

But this time, he didn't see anyone.Although Arsenal have advanced to the Champions League final, they are three points behind Manchester United in the league.With three league games left and Arsenal no chance to play Manchester United directly, these three points are not easy to catch up.

In any case, Manchester United has not only advanced to the Champions League final like Arsenal, but also has tickets to the FA Cup final.Their opponent in the FA Cup final is Chelsea, which has risen steadily in recent years.

The most important thing is that Manchester United blocked Shao Bo's way to complete the three consecutive league championships. If he does not win the league championship this time, he will have to come for another three years.

Shao Bo didn't want to wait that long, besides, his contract didn't have long left.Take advantage of the opportunity and quickly win more championships so as to stabilize your position in the club.

Therefore, in the last three games, Arsenal must win all of them, otherwise, they will only be thrown off by Manchester United and lose the fate of the league championship.

As for Liverpool, who originally competed with them for the league championship, they are now two points behind Arsenal, and basically only have theoretical hopes of winning the championship.

No matter what tricks Liverpool and Manchester United have, Shao Bo can only work hard to play well in the last three league games of this season.He can't control others, he can only let his team do the best.

So, even if those media wanted to interview him, where would they have the time?Isn't the usual press conference enough for them to ask?
Originally, Shao Bo still had the idea of ​​giving up the league to compete for the Champions League, but when he saw that the gap between them and Manchester United was not that big, Shao Bo's desire to win the championship became active again.

Yes, no matter how hard you work, you must win the championship!

……

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the last round of the Premier League this season has arrived.

In the first two rounds, Arsenal did achieve a complete victory as Shao Bo wished. At this time, Liverpool lost a game against Leeds United, completely losing hope of winning the championship.They still have to wait a long time to win the Premier League championship.

As for Manchester United, they also won two consecutive victories annoyingly, and now they still have three points more than Arsenal.As long as they don't lose this game, they will be able to win the championship, and the premise is that Arsenal can win the last round of the game.

Shao Bo felt the pressure in such a game, didn't Ferguson not?
In the past three years, Ferguson watched Shao Bo turn out to lead Arsenal to win the league championship for two consecutive years, and he was second in the league every year, only one step away from the championship.

In the last league championship competition, they lost hope of winning the championship only in the last few minutes.Now, the initiative is in the hands of Manchester United, and they can win the championship as long as they draw.

Manchester United doesn't care about whatever result Arsenal likes.

In the final round, Arsenal's opponent is London City's old rival Chelsea.Manchester United's opponent is one of only three Premier League champions, Blackburn.

Before Arsenal, the only club that could take away the league title from Manchester United, Blackburn naturally has its own unique features.

It's just that since the head coach Dalglish and the main player Alan Shearer left one after another, Blackburn's performance has declined rapidly, and they even became the first Premier League champions to be relegated!

Fortunately, in the second year, they climbed back to the Super League.And now, they are at an important juncture of relegation. If they beat Manchester United this round, they still have hope of staying in the Super League. If they can't, they can only fall back to the first division.

In this battle, whether it is Manchester United or Blackburn, there are reasons to win, but Ferguson will not give the opponent a chance.Sitting quietly in the office for a while, Ferguson suddenly got up and walked to the locker room.The game is about to start and he needs to motivate the players in this last moment.

Like Manchester United, Arsenal, who play at home, face their old rival Chelsea in West London.

Although the two parties are in London, they have a good relationship. Shao Bo even traded Zola, the hero who won the championship two years ago, to Chelsea.

Of course, this is also because he now has Anelka and Henry. There is no shortage of forward candidates, and he doesn't care about the competitive threat of Chelsea in the past two years.

However, at least Shao Bo knew that, no matter what, Tottenham, the archrival in the same city, would never want to take a player from him.

Zola led Chelsea all the way to the FA Cup final, which also made Gullit, who had insisted on introducing him, a big sigh of relief.I read it right, Zola is still going strong, and has fully adapted to the rhythm of the Premier League in the past two years at Arsenal.

Now is the last round of the league. Although Chelsea have qualified for the UEFA Cup, although the relationship between the two clubs is good, they will not release water to Arsenal.

This is an insult to both clubs, if you want to win, do it yourself!

Chelsea, which has gradually increased their investment, now has the confidence to challenge the defending champion. They have no hope of competing for the league championship, but at least they can affect the ownership of the championship!

The stadium at Highbury is already packed with fans, everyone looking at the tunnel, waiting for the game to start.

In the channel, Shao Bo chatted with Zola. Although both of them were in London, they rarely saw each other since Zola's transfer.

Personal friendships belong to personal friendships. During the competition, the two sides will still try their best to win.Zola also clearly told Shao Bo about this.Smiling and hammering Zola, Shao Bo didn't need the other party to release water.

The 90-minute game was coming to an end soon, and Arsenal took a 2:1 lead.Chelsea's only goal came from Zola, but he, as in the past, walked towards his own half in a low-key manner after scoring.

The fans present, whether they were wearing red shirts, white sleeves or blue jerseys, applauded Zola. This is a respectable veteran!

Just when the game was about to end, Gullit replaced Zola. When he returned to the sidelines, he hugged Shao Bo and won the applause of the audience again.

"Listen, people in Highbury haven't forgotten you yet." Shao Bo patted Zola on the shoulder and invited him to have another drink after the game.

"You, aren't you worried that Arsenal won't win the championship in the end?" Zola looked at Shao Bo's relaxed look and asked suspiciously.

Spreading his hands, Shao Bo smiled helplessly, "Who knew that I could still win like this in the end. Originally, I just wanted to keep my qualification for the Champions Cup. I didn't expect to have a chance to win the championship. But the title of the championship is only there. We As long as you win, it’s useless to think too much.”

After Shao Bo pointed to the north, the game between Manchester United and Blackburn was not over yet.

Yes, it is no longer in the hands of Arsenal to decide the ownership of the Premier League champions this year. It only depends on the outcome of Manchester United's game.But Zola also admires Shao Bo's open-mindedness, which is much stronger than when they first met.

He is also growing.

Thinking of this, Zola said to Shao Bo: "After a while, I am going to study coaching courses, so don't refuse to ask you when the time comes."
