Chapter 230 Adams Forever
With so many outstanding late-release talents, Upson, who originally served as a substitute for Rio Ferdinand in the national team, how many opportunities does he have to play?

After the handover period of the five veterans of the defense is basically over, Upson, who has been loaned out for two consecutive years because he has no chance, is unwilling to continue to spend his little remaining youth here.

Although judging by age, it's kind of funny.

Now Upson is just a 22-year-old young player, and his serious career is still long.

But when he saw that even in the League Cup, Terry, who was younger than him, had the opportunity to play, but he could only be continuously loaned, loaned and loaned.

After receiving Bolton's invitation, he hopes to break up peacefully with his old club.

After all, Bolton promised to give him the main position, which is not enjoyed at Arsenal.

It just so happens that their main central defender Critters will miss the next entire season due to injury, otherwise Upson will not get such an opportunity.

The opportunity is right in front of him, and it depends on whether he can grasp it.

In Bolton, there is a chance to stand firm as the main force, the salary there is not lower than that of Arsenal, and there is a chance to win the support of the fans.

What about at Arsenal?I am just a young player that no one pays attention to, and I don't get much attention at all when I don't have many opportunities to play.

Maybe if you miss this time, you will have to waste time for an unknown number of years.Moreover, there may never be such an opportunity in the future.

Anyway, he is also a British international. Upson still has confidence in his own strength. He believes that as long as he is given enough opportunities, he will definitely be able to grow into a grand master!
Although Tony Adams is Upson's idol, he still chose Bolton for his bright future.

When Shao Bo knew about this, he agreed to release Upson without thinking too long.

Bolton and Arsenal can also be regarded as friendly clubs, and the exchanges between the two sides are quite frequent. Since they really need Upson, this may not be a good home for Upson.

When Shao Bo bought Upson back then, he also had the purpose of training him for a rainy day.Now that young talents are pouring into Kearney, Shao Bo needs to consider which player is really suitable for the Arsenal system.

The team doesn't particularly need Upson, and it doesn't matter if Shao Bo lets him go.

After all, he is a typical British central defender, tall and strong, but lacks defensive awareness and interception width.

Arsenal have Rio Ferdinand and John Terry, Upson's departure is not a big loss.

However, when Arsenal bought him back then, they also spent a lot of money, and Bolton paid 500 million pounds for this.

Anyway, it is also a Premier League team, and they are not stingy in order to avoid relegation.

And Upson's weekly salary has also improved a lot compared to when he was at Arsenal, and at the same time he has a lot more chances to play.

A win-win deal!

However, Upson's departure, for Arsenal, is just painless.But the retirement of Tony Adams is an irreparable loss for the club!
Tony Adams announced the news at a press conference following their first practice game of 2002 after the start of the new year.

At that time, the media was also a little shocked, but looking at Shao Bo's helpless face, he could only confirm that this news did not mean that April Fool's Day had come early.

However, Adams, who has played for Arsenal for 19 years, is not abrupt even if he retires.

In the past two years, as he gradually grew older, he has been suffering from major and minor injuries.

Except for Adams, the five veterans of the defense also left.Only I was left to stand firm and silently guard the gate of Arsenal.

Campbell, who has joined for half a year now, has also shown his due strength and successfully played the responsibility of the defense leader when Adams was absent due to injury.

Although, Arsenal's No. [-] captain's armband is still worn on Adams' shoulders.

However, Adams, who has not led the team to play many games in the past two seasons, decided to retire.

After all, even if he stays here, he won't have a few games to play, so it's better to prepare for the coaching course and rejuvenate his second life!
"Football is my passion, but there are still many things related to football that I can try..., I have suffered more injuries this season than ever before. I have paid too much for my body after years of fighting in such a competitive game as the Premier League."

This is all true. The Premier League's physical collision ranks first among the five major leagues, and its intensity ranks first.Otherwise, they would not be ridiculed as "vulgar league" by others.

When facing a reporter's question, when he asked him what regrets he had during his career at Arsenal for so many years, he answered this way.

"The only thing I regret is that I didn't catch up with the jersey with the team's new team logo."

Adams laughed.

Although he replied with a smile, the reporters still felt a kind of loneliness of a hero's twilight, probably because he was not willing to just sit on the bench and watch the team win the championship, but his own contribution was not great.

This is unacceptable to Tony Adams, who has been the pillar of the club for more than ten years.

"I also hope that this is just false news. Maybe Adams will stay for another season. Before the summer, no one can say for sure."

Shao Bo has not given up the idea of ​​retaining Adams, and there is still half a year left in this season.He believed that half a year was enough for him to convince Adams.

Didn't he still have great ambitions before?

After missing the Champions League match with Deportivo due to injury, Adams once told the media: "I'm trying to get my body back to the best condition to help Arsenal win, isn't Seaman also working hard! Pierce also told me a few days ago that Manchester City will fight me after they return to the Premier League this season."

Lying in bed during this time will definitely wear down his willpower. When Shao Bo waits for him to return to the green field, he must have a good talk with him.

However, Adams can save one season at most, and his retirement can be stopped.

Therefore, after discussing with the club, Shao Bo announced a heavyweight news at this press conference, that is:
The club will permanently seal the No. 6 jersey worn by Adams, and on the day he retires, a retirement ceremony will be held for this jersey.

This is probably the highest honor on the same level as the club's statue of a player, but Adams deserves it!
In 1980, 14-year-old Adams joined Arsenal's football school and has played for Arsenal since a player.

On November 1983, 11, Adams completed his "debut" on behalf of the team. At that time, they were still in the top league of League One, and they faced Sunderland.

The ridiculous thing is that in that game, Adams was too excited to wear his shorts backwards.

But Frank Adams did not hide that period of "black history".

After signing his first professional contract with Arsenal in 1984, Adams officially became a professional player.

Since then, he has been wearing a red and white jersey, galloping at Highbury to this day, leaving countless memories for the fans.

In 1988, at the age of 21, Adams was also awarded the captain's armband by George Graham, which remains to this day.

But he hasn't always been the image he should be as an Arsenal and England captain.

Because he became famous too early, he was once addicted to alcohol and was even sentenced to four months in prison for drunk driving. Later, he was also fined for fighting with others in a tavern.

These are all self-revealed in his autobiography Addiction.

Just as no one is completely superior, these black histories cannot obliterate Adams' greatness at all.

Shao Bo said that he would seal up the No. 6 jersey for Adams, and he would not change this idea because of other players, no matter how talented they are.

Whether it is Senderos or Koscielny, I am afraid that there is no chance to wear Arsenal's number.

Although in the team, Adams is still the boss in the locker room, but he will retire soon, and it is also very important to select a new player for the team who can stabilize the situation in the locker room.

In terms of qualifications, goalkeeper David Seaman must be at the same level as Adams, and he has no problems.

But Shao Bo knows that Seaman also has the idea of ​​retiring now, but he hasn't raised it yet.

Moreover, he is not young anymore, otherwise why did Shao Bo go to Eastern Europe to buy Petr Cech?

David Seaman has also made a lot of contributions to the club, but if Shao Bo seals up his No. [-] number for this, he really can't do it.

No. [-] is the number used by all the main goalkeepers, making an exception for this, the resistance is too great.

And if David Seaman is not a good choice, there are probably only Vieira and Campbell left in the team.

Bergkamp would have had no problem, and no one in the dressing room could challenge his status.But his character is not suitable as a leader, leading the team to turn around the predicament and fight hard.

As for old men like Henry, Parlor, and Ljungberg, although they have spent a lot of time in the team, there is no problem with their qualifications.

Especially Henry, he is now the team's main attacker, the team's top scorer in the league reminds people of Ian Wright who has just retired.

Everyone is saying that if anyone can break Ian Wright's scoring record at Arsenal, it can only be Henry.

But they are all offensive players, on the front lines.

Generally speaking, because the captain needs a more stable character, and if the striker is not bold and aggressive, it is a bad thing.

And in terms of vision, because the captain needs to replace the head coach on the field to make adjustments and adjustments, defenders and goalkeepers obviously have advantages over strikers.

These are only more suitable for Vieira as a defensive midfielder, or Campbell, who was originally the captain in Tottenham Hotspur.
