Chapter 204

Lazio, like Arsenal, completed the first league title defense in the new century.

The investment of nearly [-] million yuan has not been achieved. Although Roma has been chasing closely in the league all the way, they still have not reached their rivals in the same city.

Now the two teams have won the same number of league titles, but this team supported by high transfer fees and high player salaries is not favored by Shao Bo.

The overall decline of the Italian economy is inevitable, and the problems of Lazio's boss Craniotti and the multinational company he runs-Cirio Food Group cannot be resolved because of Shao Bo's crossing.

As a "local tyrant" and "upstart" earlier than Abramovich's Chelsea, Lazio soon fell into the brink of bankruptcy because there was no boss with sufficient strength to accept it.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of outstanding players in the team were sold in exchange for funds to ensure the financial security of the club.With the continuous loss of top players, it is impossible for them to create another good result.

To recover from the trauma this time, Lazio will have to go for at least ten years.

This is the crisis faced by clubs without a good financial management policy. Although it has not happened yet, it does not affect Shao Bo's prediction.

In contrast, the Arsenal managed by Wenger is much healthier, and they will never be on the verge of collapse because of a problem with a certain boss.

And like Lazio, relying on the behavior of the local rich boss to inject a large amount of capital can only be sustained for a while, and it will easily collapse.

Although Shao Bo's goal is to acquire Arsenal, he will still follow the original tone set by Wenger. The only difference is that he can easily solve the problem with the funds he earned in the Internet bubble era. Funding issues for stadium construction.

Arsenal don't need to affect the transfer in order to repay the debt.

It's just that before the construction of the new stadium is completed, Shao Bo will not make a large-scale acquisition, so as not to affect the construction of the stadium.

Although they didn't draw a good sign, it is impossible for Arsenal to just give up the Champions League game.The first stage of the group stage was so difficult to play, it was a bit unlucky for Arsenal.

The opponent in the first Champions League game was the Greek giant Panathinaikos. As early as the 98-99 season, the two teams had a confrontation.At that time, Arsenal had the advantage of one win and one draw, and then they fought against Juventus and Real Madrid to advance to the final.

It's a pity that they fell short, and they failed to win the Champions League that Shao Bo wanted most.

Although Panathinaikos has also entered the final of the Champions League, it was all in the 70s. The Greek team can only aim to enter the Champions League.As for qualifying from the group, it has become an impossible task with Lazio and Schalke 04 looking around.

But before playing against them, Arsenal still has a tough battle in the league-Chelsea, their neighbor in the West!
Last season they almost achieved the unbeaten feat of winning the championship, but at the beginning of this season, Shao Bo didn't mention any goals, he just asked the team to march towards the championship!

If the team is required to aim to be undefeated, I am afraid that the pressure on them will be too great.

The miss last season was probably not due to the team's collapse due to excessive pressure late in the season.After they lost to Liverpool and were out of the Champions League, it can be seen that they quickly regained their form and won the championship ahead of time. In fact, the team's strength is still there.

This time, from the beginning of the season, Arsenal once again maintained an unbeaten momentum.Of course, this is only the beginning of the season, and Manchester United and Liverpool are also undefeated.

Chelsea now owns Zola and Pettit, two old Arsenal players, and has also bought many good players such as Jasper, Zenden, and Hasselbaink.

Among them, Hasselbaink overtook Henry with 23 goals to become the top scorer in the Premier League last season.

However, Hasselbaink is not young, and Henry is still in the growth stage. Shao Bo has made up his mind to tilt his tactics to Henry this season and help him get the league's top scorer.

After Chelsea entered the UEFA Champions League for two consecutive years, they can only play in the UEFA Cup this season.

After Vialli was fired by the club, Ranieri, who took office urgently, set out to rebuild Chelsea. He didn't even speak English when he just came to London!
After the ups and downs, the team finally qualified for the UEFA Cup as No.6 in the league, but fortunately, they won the FA Cup this season.

And while Arsenal are preparing to build a new stadium, Chelsea are also undergoing renovations at Stamford Bridge.

After intense rush work, the Stamford Bridge West Stand was remodeled before the start of the season.Although Shao Bo didn't feel any difference when he came here, recent data shows that this time the renovation has added a lot of seats.

Moreover, according to reports, Chelsea has also built a luxury hotel near Stamford Bridge.Of course, this must have something to do with the boss Bates.

The Jewish business acumen has always been famous all over the world, using the money from club loans to amass funds for the construction of their own hotels.

Maybe the away team will choose to rest here, but as a rival in the same city, Arsenal only needs to drive a bus.

In the remodeled Stamford Bridge Stadium, the only thing that makes Shao Bo feel changed is that the player tunnel seems to have been decorated to a certain extent.Maybe the locker room of the home team has also been updated, but unfortunately they are stingy to create better conditions for the visiting team.

In the player tunnel, Shao Bo exchanged pleasantries with Zola and Pettit—they are all in London, which is not far away, and it’s not that they haven’t seen each other for a long time.

Most of the Arsenal players also knew Zola and Pettit, and they lost a few minutes in the player tunnel.

The afternoon sun in London is strong, but after the globalization of the Premier League, their game time has been much earlier than in the past.

Shao Bo still feels a little stuffy now, probably because the Stanford Stadium is not well ventilated after the renovation?

Sitting quietly on the coaching bench, Shao Bo is looking forward to another victory.

Ranieri has a gentle personality, and there is no historical conflict with Shao Bo. The two commanded the game as if they were completing official duties, lacking some highlights and passion.

On the court, although Zola and Pettit are both facing the old club, but this old club has been "old" for several years, and it is not a topic worthy of media hype every day.

In contrast, Petit returned to London quickly after an unhappy season at Barcelona.

Although he was over thirty, Zola was four years older than him!
However, Zola was played in England by Italian football as an "old man". No one could have imagined that he has maintained a good state in both Arsenal and Chelsea until now.

Off the pitch, Zola and Pettit are familiar with most of the Arsenal squad and hang out together from time to time.

But on the court, they are their own masters, and they are merciless.

Pettit's style of play is fierce and tough, and he didn't back down when he collided with Vieira just now.However, after Vieira fell to the ground, he took the initiative to reach out to help his former teammate, which also won a burst of applause from the Arsenal fans.

Thousands of Arsenal fans live in a corner, in a place where the sun does not shine. Although they applaud the veterans in the past, they don't want to come here to watch the game, and the club will lose the game as a result.

After Pettit left, Parlor was originally the best partner with Vieira, but it is a pity that the injury a while ago has not healed.It just so happens that Shao Bo can also give Lampard more opportunities to play, and letting Lampard deal with Chelsea is also a bad taste of Shao Bo.

Facing Lampard is the Danish midfielder Glenshire. His speed is very fast. Lampard can only hand over the task of defense to his teammates behind him. Under the arrangement of Shao Bo, he will participate more in offense. .

Glenshire's speed can be regarded as the number one among active players. In the early years, some coaches even suggested that he change his career to become a sprinter.

Although Shao Bo once wanted to win this player, it was just that the price marked by Chelsea was too high, and several negotiations ended in vain.

In the first half, both sides failed to score a goal. Most of the time, the game was tepid. Not to mention the fans in the stands, even the commentators were not very enthusiastic.

Arsenal is saving some strength for the midweek Champions League game, and Chelsea may be because coach Ranieri chose a conservative style of play when facing strong teams.

Although this is safer, it lacks a lot of highlights.

But this situation changed in the second half!
Probably because the two teams didn't want to get a draw so easily. Arsenal strengthened the offensive in the frontcourt, and Chelsea also quickly counterattacked after shrinking the defense.

It seems that Chelsea's anti-counterattack is very scary, not only because of Glenshire's fast speed, but also because of the "Icelandic sniper" Gudjohnsen in front of him.

Although Zola is old and has no advantage in speed, relying on his familiarity with Arsenal and rich experience, he is also nearby to respond and harass.

Arsenal's defense put a lot of energy on Zola, which is not a good strategy!

However, although Chelsea's frontcourt put a lot of pressure on Arsenal, they could not reach an effective connection with their teammates behind them.

Although Glenshire is fast, his consciousness is not mature enough.

Every time Arsenal's defensive players are able to successfully block, or steal the ball or force him to the side - Glenciel also has the attributes of a winger, but it is difficult to communicate with his teammates because of the deep bottom, which is often wasted gave them a chance to fight back.

With the broken ball, Lauren sent it with his front foot, and Arsenal pressed forward again.
