Chapter 176 Real Madrid, Hello Dot, Goodbye

Shao Bo didn't want to, Toshack just left Real Madrid.

Both Lippi and Toshack were dismissed by the club immediately after the last game with him. It is hard to guarantee that some media will not associate it and give Shao Bo a nickname of "coach killer".

This is not a good thing, at least, it doesn't sound good.

The arrival of Bosque will definitely bring a new change to Real Madrid, but Shao Bo does not have a lot of information about him now, and there is little room for analysis.

More importantly, Bosque, as Real Madrid's firefighting coach, is unclear whether his goal is to fill the league or sprint for the Champions League.

If you can't understand an enemy, it's difficult to set traps for the opponent's weaknesses. Shao Bo can only keep his team in the best state possible.

Actively prepare for the battle, and defeat the opponent in an upright manner.

What's more, now their match with Real Madrid will not start until next year, and now Dortmund and the league are more important.

Now the enemies who qualify for the second stage of the Champions League are Real Madrid and Dortmund.

Arsenal have just won Real Madrid and also defeated Feyenoord, occupying a slight advantage among the three teams that will qualify for the group.

Borussia Dortmund are also second on the back of their fresh three points over Feyenoord at the Westfalenstadion.Now only Feyenoord is at the bottom of the group without a point.

However, only two games were played in the second group stage of the Champions League. Now even Feyenoord still has a chance to qualify, but no one takes him seriously.

However, the game between Dortmund and Arsenal will have to wait until February next year, because the winter break is coming, and they can not rest in the Premier League, which does not mean that other league teams can also survive the severe winter.

Although the winters in countries such as La Liga and Serie A are not very cold, their national characters are more accustomed to enjoying life rather than working hard.

Just like the Spaniards arrange dinner at nine or ten o'clock because of the seasonal setting.And the fans are also used to going to the stadium to watch the game after eating at this time, resulting in the kick-off time of La Liga being later than that of other major leagues.

Therefore, if it is converted to Asian time, the kick-off time of La Liga will generally be in the second half of the night or even early morning in China.Everyone is resting at this time, how many people can stand up to watch the game?
For this reason, although the sports channel had the idea of ​​broadcasting La Liga, it finally gave up after purchasing the broadcasting rights of the Premier League.

For the time being, these football resources are already quite rich for the domestic media laying conditions that are not yet developed.The sports channel always chooses and hesitates in the key games of Serie A and the Premier League.

But at least Arsenal's games are basically unstoppable. After all, there is international Sun Jihai and Shao Bo, the only Chinese who has made a name for himself in Europe so far.

Before the winter break, Arsenal once again sprinted to No.2 in the league ranking.And Manchester United seems to have consumed too much energy in the Champions League, and the sophistication and bravery at the beginning of the season no longer exist.

In the game at Old Trafford, Arsenal also defeated them tenaciously, successfully reducing the difference between the two teams to 5 points.

Winter is when Arsenal try to grab points in the league.

They have already been eliminated in the League Cup, but they have also reached the semi-finals. As a League Cup team composed of pure teenagers and young players, such a result is enough.

And if they fight harder, they may reach the final, but in order to grab points in the next league game, Shao Bo gave up the trophy that is close at hand.

After all, their opponent in the semi-finals is Liverpool, and even if they expend a lot of energy at this time, they may not be able to win.The main force may also fail to compete on the field. It is better to give up the League Cup and withdraw all power to the league to grab points.

Since even the League Cup, which reached the semi-finals, can be given up, the FA Cup, which has just started, is even more indifferent.

Anyway, the Premier League team is directly participating in the third round of the FA Cup. They simply sent all non-main players in this round, and sent weak players as much as possible.

And their opponent in the FA Cup is Derby County, which has been relegated. Seeing Arsenal's contempt, they naturally want to fight to win.

Even so, they played the game to the point of a penalty kick, which shows the decline in Derby County's strength.

The league and the Champions League are much more important than domestic cups such as the League Cup and the FA Cup.

Arsenal naturally have to pay more attention to events that can bring more benefits. As for the trophy, they have already won a Charity Shield.

Even if they win again this year, they still want the league title and the Champions League title. The League Cup title they won is really not in their eyes.

Although Shao Bo has not won the FA Cup yet, he believes that in a few years, there will always be a chance.Even if there is no FA Cup, if he wins more league titles and Champions League titles, it will be enough.

When the winter break is over, the second round of the Champions League group stage will also be ready to start.

In less than half a year, the team that won the UEFA Champions League still needs to play four second-stage group matches, plus the knockout rounds and finals from the top eight, a total of nine games await them.

I don't know if Arsenal can survive the pressure of such an intensive game. The abandonment of the FA Cup has already caused dissatisfaction among many fans.

In England, there are still many traditional fans who believe that the FA Cup is much more important than the Champions League, and they feel incomprehensible to Shao Bo's arrangement.

However, he didn't have time to explain this to the fans. After a year, Shao Bo once again stepped on the grass of the Bernabeu.

Fortunately, they just defeated Dortmund not long ago, and the nine-point advantage in three games seems to have guaranteed Arsenal into the quarter-finals.

However, in the fourth Champions League group match, the sloppy Arsenal suffered a draw and failed to win against Feyenoord.After all, Feyenoord is also a strong team in the Eredivisie. Shao Bo suffered a little bit of contempt.

And after they came to the Westfalenstadion, they also lost to Dortmund. The situation took a sharp turn for the worse, from the original most promising team to three players competing for two peaches.

Originally, as long as they beat Dortmund, Arsenal will be able to qualify with Real Madrid, and it doesn't matter whether they win or lose the last game.

But now after losing to Dortmund, they can only try their best to fight Real Madrid.

The current situation in the second stage of the UEFA Champions League group stage is very strange. Except for Feyenoord who will definitely go home, all three teams may qualify, and all three qualifying plans may be achieved.

If Dortmund loses or draws with Feyenoord, it's okay, in that case, they will automatically say goodbye to everyone.

Regardless of the score between Arsenal and Real Madrid, Dortmund has no choice but to leave.

And Dortmund won, but if Real Madrid loses or draws, Shao Bo and the others can also qualify with Dortmund.

I am afraid that in the end Arsenal will lose in the match between themselves and Real Madrid. In this case, Real Madrid will advance to the quarterfinals with four wins.

In the end, Dortmund won the opponent. In the entire second group stage, Feyenoord only had a draw with Arsenal and left with one point.

Such a big gap is something no one else expected, and the competitiveness of the Eredivisie is so weak.However, since the Bosman Act, their decline has been irreversible.

As Shao Bo first expected, no one can ignore Feyenoord's 6 points, and getting these 6 points is the basis for advancement.

And Arsenal obviously made this mistake. Now, they can only have a chance to advance to the quarterfinals if they work hard to beat Real Madrid.Otherwise, it is very likely that Dortmund will have to calculate who can advance based on the mutual goal difference.

Now, Arsenal are competing with Real Madrid for the chance to qualify.

Now the three teams are facing the same situation: if you don't win, go home!

At the end of March, Madrid is still cool.At night, the lights of the Bernabeu hit the grass and shine on the players.

Shao Bo looked in the direction of his own goal with his hands on his hips. Just now, Real Madrid's Raúl shot slightly off the goal and slipped past the goal post and out of the sideline.

so close!

Shao Bo, who came to the Bernabeu, did not expect that this time the game would be so difficult.

This year's Real Madrid is not strong, Hierro is still recuperating as a defensive pillar, it seems that he can only come back at the end of the season.

They are strong in offense and weak in defense, they should be quickly defeated by Arsenal's defensive counterattack.

Unexpectedly, several newcomers appointed by Bosque were able to manage Real Madrid's defense line like an iron bucket.

These players are all from Real Madrid's youth training. They didn't have many foreign games, and Shao Bo had very little information. As a result, they played a big role in this game.

Thinking about it, Shao Bo felt relieved. Bosque was a Real Madrid firefighter twice in 94 and 96. Counting this time, he has already coached Real Madrid's first team three times.

In addition, as the head coach of Real Madrid's B team, he was also responsible for a certain amount of youth training work. His understanding and control of youth training players must be much better than that of the Welsh foreigner.

The quality of Real Madrid's youth training is already very good, but they seldom produce and use it for themselves, and most of them are "given" to the whole of Europe as benefits. It is not surprising that Bosque can tap the potential from within.

However, these teenagers are now causing a lot of trouble for Arsenal. The original sharp defensive counterattack turned out to be ineffective, and the two sides seemed to be frozen.Bottom line: Arsenal are in a tough fight right now!

Kalanka, Campo, and Elguera, the new defenders, will provoke the backbone of Real Madrid's defense. Although they have successors, Arsenal are playing very unhappy now.

　Uh, don’t get it wrong, it’s guaranteed to be at least two shifts every day this week, and the third shift will break out from time to time. Saying that only two shifts a week scares me to death, how is that possible….
