Chapter 417 Competition with bloomers

Every club has its own nickname, which represents the history and honor of the team, and is a sign recognized by the fans themselves and the outside world.

Needless to say, Arsenal's "Gunner" nickname is as well-known as Manchester United's "Red Devils" and Liverpool's "Red Army".

However, for a small team like West Bromwich Albion, few people outside of local fans and people who are more familiar with the English team know the meaning of their nickname "bloomers".

In the early years, the jerseys of various clubs were not sponsored, and the teams needed to spend their own money to buy them.

As a result, Arsenal's jerseys originated from Nottingham, and Juventus' jerseys originated from Notts County.

Some clubs get their jerseys with the help of well-meaning people, while others are left to their own devices.

For example, West Bromwich Albion is a representative of self-reliance. At that time, they cut a batch of bloomers short and used them as ball pants.

The teams who play with them will find that West Bromwich Albion's shorts are very large, which is very different from other teams. Therefore, the nickname of "bloomers" was given to West Bromwich Albion. head of the club.

For West Bromwich Albion fans, the nickname represents the club's early and painstakingly built history, which in their view is something to be proud of and nothing to hide.

Gradually, the nickname of "bloomers" became popular and spread until today.

Arsenal took the lead at the Hawthorns, and some West Brom fans who arrived at the Hawthorns wearing traditional bloomers were very upset.

The flags that were originally waving on the sidelines also hung down, and West Bromwich Albion was quickly defeated and could not pose any threat to Arsenal.

In the second half of the game, Arsenal did not give West Bromwich Albion any chance, and the final score was fixed at 2:0.

Shao Bo used up all three substitutions in his hand shortly after the start of the second half. Bergkamp was replaced by Shao Bo in advance. There is no need for the veteran to consume all his physical energy here.

Even if Bergkamp was not recruited in the Dutch national team game after a period of time, it does not mean that Shao Bo can squander the physical fitness of his players at will.

Pires is still recuperating, but Gilberto Silva will be able to return to the team after the international break. The absence of the two generals has not affected Arsenal's results for the time being, but this is also due to the fact that Arsenal has not yet By the end of the season, the poison of the long and intensive schedule had not yet appeared.

However, Arsenal will face Manchester United and Chelsea after Liverpool, and then go to Japan to participate in the Toyota Cup.

Surrounded by strong enemies and far away, Arsenal still have a rather difficult road to go before the New Year.

At the Hawthorns Stadium, Shao Bo led Arsenal to victory, catching up in the standings.And Liverpool and Manchester United did not let go, the four teams chased after each other, leaving Everton, currently ranked No.5, far behind, so that some media in the Premier League prepared to call these four teams BIG4. The team that has been ranked at the forefront of the Premier League for years.

Manchester United and Arsenal were once tied as "double red" by the media, which originated from their jerseys.

If Liverpool wins again, maybe the media will refer to the Premier League as the "Three Reds", instead of calling it the BIG4, the Big Four, after adding Chelsea with a blue jersey.

Before Abrahimovic bought Chelsea, their results were steadily rising, attracting people's attention.

Bates has a good economic sense and used Chelsea to make a fortune, but he also let Chelsea win a European Cup Winners' Cup.

Before becoming an upstart, Bates was almost the greatest Chelsea chairman in the past half century.

Of course, the brilliance he left behind has long been lost to the power of money, and the influence of the defeated Bates is no longer what it used to be, and Chelsea seems to have forgotten their origins.

Like most of the players in the bus, Shao Bo, who was sitting in the bus, couldn't resist the deep sleepiness and took a nap on the bus.

The facilities here are luxurious and advanced. The seats can be adjusted to make the angle gentle. When you lie down, you are like a small bed on the beach. It is very comfortable. Except for one thing, there are only lights in the car here, and there is no sunlight. .

After defeating West Bromwich Albion, Shao Bo also made it clear at the post-match press conference that Arsenal did not welcome Chelsea to join G14, and Arsenal would never give up the competition for the Toyota Cup.

Before the start of the game, Shao Bo had already negotiated with David Dane. Arsenal expressed their attitude at the internal organization meeting of G14. Even if other clubs press hard, Arsenal will not Give up your choice.

What is invisible pressure?
After the two rounds of entertainment competitions, although the top four in the standings have increased by three points, their rankings have not changed.

Leaving aside whether Chelsea can win the league championship this season, at least half of the championship will almost belong to Arsenal's neighbors in West London.

At the meeting attended by David Dane, there were no Champions League trophies, and the number of league championship trophies was too small, and the most recent championship trophy was won half a century ago-such a team even Paris Saint-Germain, Marseille, and Lyon are all incomparable, and you still want to enter G14?

Chelsea's performance has improved a lot over the years, but it has not reached the level that G14 pays special attention to.

If it wasn't for G14 preparing a larger-scale military expansion to fight UEFA, even if Chelsea found a partner, they would not have the opportunity to join G14.

After Arsenal clearly stated their attitude, they may be suppressed from the dark, but this is nothing to Shao Bo!
……

Time passed quietly, and in a blink of an eye, the match days of the national team also passed, and the players who fought for the country's World Cup places also returned to the club to report.

The national team like the Netherlands, which has already confirmed the first place in the group and successfully entered the final stage of the World Cup, does not need to call the main players in the next few games, but can take the opportunity to train new players.

The World Cup qualifiers have all ended, and the Arsenal team has players from England, France, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, and Portugal, the major football powers.

These football powerhouses entered the World Cup without any hesitation, and the Chinese team also advanced through the play-offs of the World Cup qualifiers after undergoing Shao Bo's changes in history.

Now Shao Bo has changed more history. The Chinese team qualified for the World Cup for the second time. On the green field of the World Cup in Germany, Shao Bo has the opportunity to see his compatriots again.

This is of course inseparable from the help Shao Bo provided to the Chinese Overseas Corps in Europe.

They did not gradually sink as in Shao Bo's memory, but they all came to Arsenal for preliminary trial training, and then entered a suitable club through Arsenal's relationship.

The transfer fee from China to Europe is actually not a lot. After all, this method of improving the strength of national team players has been supported by the Football Association.

Some people are vegetarians, but under the premise that Shao Bo took the initiative to help and did not spend money from the Football Association, how could they refuse Arsenal's kindness?

Of course, Shao Bo will not help the Football Association train talents in vain.Arsenal can also use this to expand its influence in China and East Asia. Currently, according to a survey by a German data company, Arsenal is the most popular football club in East Asia.

This is a real benefit. With its influence, Arsenal has received many high sponsorship fees, and it also has an advantage in negotiations with other sponsors.

This made Nike, who put the treasure on Manchester United and ignored Arsenal, regretted a lot. The public relations director who insisted on maintaining a tough strategy with Arsenal had long been excluded and left Nike voluntarily.

But even if Nike wants to reconnect with Arsenal now, Arsenal also has a contract with Puma now, and it is impossible to damage their own image and tear up the agreement.

At the beginning they said to separate, and they separated when they separated, but now they want to say that they regret it and get back together again.Even if it's a business, it's not just selling casually, hurting feelings, and wanting to start over again?
And this time the Chinese team was able to change history and get tickets to the World Cup in Germany, and it was not just due to Shao Bo alone.

Shao Shibo is willing to help Chinese football get rid of the dark low tide and get rid of that bitter fate, but the key lies in the Chinese players themselves.

If the players don't live up to their expectations, then Shao Bo has nothing to do.Of course, Shao Bo also has a way to make these players obey.

At least Shao Bo's influence in China is large enough, and it is not something the Football Association can order at will.He is not a player who went out of China, so there is no possibility of being blocked.If you want to ban Shao Bo, then the Chinese Football Association will no longer have to think about how close it is to European football.With his contacts in Europe, Shao Bo can also affect the fate of the Chinese players who have studied abroad.

As long as the Football Association is not so stupid as to try to control Shao Bo remotely and use him as a puppet, then they must face up to Shao Bo's opinion.They had indeed ignored Shao Bo back then, but a painful price would follow.

Shao Bo didn't need to do it himself, and he could launch a public opinion offensive to bombard the Football Association by directing his subordinates.These are tricks that have been played badly in Premier League football, but they are indeed extremely threatening to the Chinese Football Association, which still retains its institutional thinking.

Even the General Administration of Sports once took the initiative to criticize the Football Association and restrain them because of its excessive influence.

It's not that the Chinese Football Association has never thought of recruiting Shao Bo and making him the head coach of the Chinese team, so that Shao Bo will become a member of the system and be under the jurisdiction of the Football Association.

　Tianhei Chinese team is really meaningless, I really hope they can get better and better, so slightly.
