Chapter 512
If someone is qualified to erect a statue outside Arsenal's Emirates Stadium, I am afraid that all Arsenal fans will think that Coach Chapman is the best candidate.

However, Shao Bo is still thinking about whether to put only his statue, or bring Tony Adams' statue.

So far, Tony Adams is the last player and captain of Arsenal who has played for Arsenal from beginning to end.

Adams is famous and not forgotten, and he also made great contributions when he played for the team. He is very suitable as a player representative to be poured into a statue as a reward for him.

Shao Bo is confident that under his management, the club will not have to "sell the captain" again because of the pressure of the environment and the change of people's hearts.

However, those memories that often come to mind also make Shao Bo often worry about it.

This is probably the kind of anxiety that only successful people have, right?

When he was eating and waiting to die and playing all the time, Shao Bo didn't realize that he had such a problem of great mental stress.

It seems that after achieving enough brilliant results for the team, he must be decisive and retreat bravely.

……

Adams and Chapman each represent a period for Arsenal.

Sir Norris took Arsenal from the south bank of the Thames to Highbury in Islington, laying a solid foundation for the club's rise.

Chapman's reform of the team and tactics and the honor he won for the club made Arsenal truly rise-in the 30s, the club won five league titles in ten years and became the hegemony of the League One at that time.

This result was later surpassed by Liverpool, who had the highest overall score in England's top league, in the 70s.

Naturally, Chapman represents the club's ancient and glorious past.

After World War II, the club has not achieved very good results, fell into a trough, and even failed to win the top league championship for 18 years.

And Adams represents the second revival of the club after that-he has experienced the influence of the Graham era on Arsenal, making Arsenal the second top league champion in England after Liverpool.

More importantly, Adams also experienced the period when Shao Bo coached Arsenal, which was the third peak in the history of the Arsenal club.

According to Barcelona, ​​they can even call it the "Dream Team Three", but the fans in North London are not interested in using this cliché.

Arsenal's style of play in the Graham era was rough, and the players had serious drinking and gambling problems.

The group of old players represented by Adams also managed to gain a firm foothold in the Premier League football in the new century after experiencing such a phoenix nirvana.

Some of these players were eliminated because they could not adapt, which is the tears of the times and a wake-up call.

Although Adams has retired, he is at least an important player connecting the Graham era and the Shaw era. Considering all aspects, he is a good candidate.

After all, Henry and Bergkamp have not retired yet, so it is not suitable to make bronze statues early in any way.

As for Shao Bo, he knows that he has won the Champions League for the team and won so many Premier League titles, and he is actually qualified to erect a bronze statue, but the old traditional concepts from past memories still make him a little embarrassed.

It's a bit like a princess selling melons, selling melons and boasting.

Chapman and Adams don't have this problem at all.

One represents the coach, the other represents the players - in the end, the club decided to entrust a famous European bronze statue sculptor to make full-body bronze statues for the two.

In the summer of next year, it is expected to be completed and meet the fans.

Shao Bo estimated that he would build his own bronze statue when he retired in the future, right?
Bergkamp is still recovering from his injuries, and the injuries were not too serious at the time, so everyone is optimistic that Bergkamp will return to the court soon, but according to the information sent to Shao Bo by the medical center a while ago, Bergkamp Pu is not necessarily able to play football this year.

It's really worrying.

The team must, have to find a Bergkamp substitute first.

Although the current combination of Henry and Klose is good, it's just that the two may not be enough after all.

Henry was also affected by injuries for a while last season, which shocked Shao Bo. Arsenal almost said goodbye to the Premier League championship trophy that season because of this.

This season, such problems cannot reappear, otherwise it will have a great impact on the team!
Perhaps, when 422 does not work, it is also a good choice to change to 4231?

If not, let Klose or Henry continue to play as a single striker?

Although the team has not used such a formation for a long time, it is still an option.

At present, Arsenal's focus should still be on the defense.

Shao Bo now also admits that he made a mistake, that is, in the central defender, the club did not get a top defensive talent like Tony Adams in the youth training.

Letting go of Campbell, who came to Arsenal from Tottenham Hotspur that year, was the biggest transfer mistake he made so far in Shao Bo's mind.

Back then, it was better to give him an extra signing fee instead of salary when renewing the contract, so as not to affect the salary structure.

Although the cost is not small, the signing fee is only a one-time investment, and Arsenal can still afford it.

Moreover, the weekly salary will not change because of this, the stable structure of the club will not be broken, and the team will not fall into the current crisis of a faint shortage of central defenders.

Rio Ferdinand's state gradually declined last season. Originally, Shao Bo had the idea of ​​finding a player to replace him, let alone the problem that the three main central defenders could not meet the needs of the team.

There are too many games and three central defenders are still not enough.

Of course, it is necessary to introduce a foreign aid who can suit Arsenal.

And there are many games. If a player is unable to participate in the game due to injury, then the foreign aid the team needs must be the kind of master who can adapt to various positions and has the attribute of panacea.

Players like this are rare even in the Arsenal team, otherwise Shao Bo would not be worried about it, and would like to introduce a player.

After all, over the years, Shao Bo has gradually laid the foundation for the team, and now the club does not need to introduce players on a large scale every year, but under the guidance of these high-level players, nurture and educate those players. The young players in the youth training team of the team let them grow up gradually.

This is somewhat similar to the "Zidanega Pavon" tactic that Real Madrid is using today.

They are the attacking frontcourt of the club, and they must all be the top players in the world, at the level of World Footballer of the Year.

On the defensive line, it needs to be localized and youth training as much as possible.

This is mainly because offense is a scene that all fans like to see. Attacking and scoring goals, using top international players and well-known stars will help increase the popularity of Real Madrid's club and improve its brand image.

The localized defense is to ensure Real Madrid's Spanish origin, unlike Arsenal, which is often criticized as a betrayal of England's traditional internationalist club.

Anyway, Shao Bo himself is not from England, so he doesn't care about it. The media likes to hold on to this, that's their business, as long as they don't violate the rules issued by the FA for playing players, that's enough.

Spanish football has always been very popular, and La Liga is one of the best in Europe.

Although the national team has never won the most important World Cup and European Cup champions, there is only one European National Cup champion in 1964, so it was given the title of "King of Qualifiers".

But it doesn't mean that Spanish players are not strong enough.

Naturally, Real Madrid also hope to choose Castilians with native ancestry as their defense members, so that they can feel at ease.

The most important thing for the defensive players is not to concede the ball, and to prevent the opponent's forwards from having a chance to play, so no matter how bright this place is, their popularity and recognition will not exceed that of the frontcourt players, and their weekly salary will not be as high as that of Raul. , Beckham and the others are tall.

If it weren't for Arsenal's outstanding performance, although Vieira has never won the World Footballer, but his strength is enough to be recognized by anyone-Real Madrid may not necessarily choose to introduce him.

However, at this time, both Arsenal and Real Madrid were worried about the defense and were carrying out reinforcement work.

Arsenal have their own problems, and Real Madrid is now also worried because the "Pavon" are not doing well one by one.

In this session of La Liga, Real Madrid lost to Barcelona again, losing the league title they had won in the previous two years.

Only one of their No.30 La Liga titles is left, and Real Madrid hopes that they can achieve this goal as soon as possible every year.

Although Real Madrid's biggest opponent in La Liga, Barcelona has not even won 30 La Liga titles, but this does not affect Real Madrid's determination to pursue their No. [-] league titles and tenth Champions League titles in team history!
Last season, the team's offensive power was not bad, but the defensive team was too tricky. Although they scored many goals, they conceded a lot of goals.

Last season, Real Madrid was not as good as Barcelona in terms of points, and they still did not surpass Barcelona in terms of goal difference. They fell behind in every key statistic.

These harsh situations were placed in front of Florentino, forcing him to find a new way out for the team.
