Chapter 237 Cech's Doubt

Although the head coach Kevin Keegan resigned after the team was out, he didn't have no morals like the media, shirk responsibility, and put everything on David Seaman, who is indeed a bit older.

Like Shao Bo, speaking for David Seaman, there is Arsenal's old captain Adams.He has withdrawn from the World Cup squad this time. As early as the end of the European Cup in 00, Adams, who was too old, voluntarily retired from the national team.

After the end of this World Cup, David Seaman also announced the end of his career in the England national team.

For a while, the media didn't know what to say, should they continue to blame him for the failure of England this time?

Even goalkeepers generally have a relatively long career. The 39-year-old David Seaman has indeed reached the end of his goalkeeper career.

In this World Cup, his mistakes did exist, and the media's slander is also well-founded.

However, a little too much.

And when David Seaman announced his withdrawal from the national team, they were a little surprised.

In line with the idea of ​​"everyone has quit, just let the opponent not make up the knife", the media immediately turned the limelight, and the page that originally attacked David Seaman has also become a nostalgia for his years of playing for the England team.

It has been 1988 years since he was selected for the England team in 14. David Seaman can be regarded as an old player who has accompanied several generations of British fans.

No matter how dark it is, even the media can't bear it anymore.

However, it is one of the "traditions" of the English media to find reasons and excuses after a loss. After David Seaman, someone must be used as a scapegoat to replace the responsibility of the whole team.

They have already hacked the players, and it would be very unkind to find them again.So, according to the most "traditional" practice, Kevin Keegan, who had just made an overdose for David Seaman, was dragged into the water.

And he, who has been under too much pressure in the past two years, just completed his contract with the FA. After the World Cup, he just went home to rest for a while.

If the media love black, then let it be black, I quit!
But just after Kevin Keegan left, the media also spared him, and he didn't have the same trend of chasing and beating Beckham back then.

However, this is also normal, England is used to finding a scapegoat after losing.But losing to the Brazilian team is already "decent" enough in their opinion, so there is no need to entangle them too much.

Next, they only need to wait for the FA to recruit another excellent head coach, wait for the European Cup to win the championship two years later, or imagine that England can win the World Cup again after four years.

Although they have only won the World Cup once, it was won at home.

But in England, whether it is ordinary fans or the media who know more, they seem to firmly believe that as long as the England team goes out, they will definitely be able to win the championship.

The only thing that can hinder their championship path, some unconventional reasons, can only be regarded as "accidents", otherwise, they will find a scapegoat and fantasize about the next competition.

With the departure of these people, Shao Bo could hardly find the people who accompanied him when he first came.

Bergkamp was also injured and never set foot on the green field in East Asia after the group stage.

However, the old strong team, the winner of the last World Cup, the French team did not perform well in this competition. They didn't even qualify for the group, so they went home.

The much-anticipated performances of Henry, Zidane and others ended sadly after just three games.

The World Cup is a big stage, even if it is as strong as France, as long as they underestimate the enemy, they will not be able to qualify.

During this period of time, apart from watching the game, Shao Bo took advantage of his spare time to travel all over Japan.

Akihabara in Tokyo, Nihonbashi in Osaka, and Osu in Nagoya, these three "sacred places" were all "mopped up" by Shao Bo.

With a contented expression on his face, Shao Bo returned to London and officially started the club transfer work this summer.

It is said that the transfer work has started, but in fact, if the preparations are made after the end of the World Cup, I am afraid that Arsenal will not be able to get a favorite player this summer.

Shao Bo can go to East Asia to watch the game at leisure, go shopping leisurely, and rub some harmonious plots by the way.

But during this period of time, the staff of the club cannot be idle. They will select players in a targeted manner according to the instructions, or according to the age requirements, or according to the position requirements.

After summarizing the materials, if Shao Bo feels that he is not qualified and not suitable for the club, the results of their hard work for several days or even months will be in vain.

But there is no way around this. "The upper level moves their lips, and the lower level breaks their legs." This is the eternal truth.

Compared with these scouts, the staff who have fixed goals and just negotiate the transfer fee are much better.

At least they knew who Shao Bo had already favored. Next, they only needed to grind their mouths to impress the players the boss favored.

If you want to convince a player to come to the club, the only thing you need to consider are two things, one is money and the other is heart.

Is there enough money, and whether it is given in place? This is something that every player will care about.They are professional players, isn't the purpose of playing football just to make more money?
And what about the heart?Or it's for the pursuit of honor, or it's because they don't want to leave their hometown, or they want to join the club they admired..., and so on.

In terms of salary and treatment, although Arsenal is not as good as Real Madrid, it is definitely at the level that a world-class club should give.

As for honor and influence, let alone.What they have achieved over the years is enough to attract most players to want to join here and win trophies.

No matter who thinks about the invitation sent by the team that has just won the undefeated championship, they will not refuse.

The only factors that can hinder the joining of the players Arsenal are fancying are the relevant regulations and transfer fees.

The relevant laws and regulations that can hinder players from joining, after much deliberation, the only one is labor certification.

This policy of the Premier League directly hindered a large number of African and South American stars from joining the Premier League, and ceded these stars with great potential to Portuguese Liga and La Liga.

However, as long as Shao Bo has the heart and is willing to fight for more, even if there are more restrictions on the labor certificate, with Arsenal's status, he can occasionally make an exception and recruit two more players from outside the European Union.

If it doesn't work, you can also put it in a cooperative club and wait for a year or two before recruiting into the team.

However, after the World Cup was over, Arsenal's staff was still working hard to recruit new players.No one expected that David Seaman, who had already announced his withdrawal from the national team, would also announce his departure from Arsenal during the busy days of transfer in July.

In the national team, the retirement of David Seaman was an earthquake, because they basically couldn't find an excellent goalkeeper who was capable enough to take over from David Seaman.

David James was originally a strong contender for the national team's No. [-] goalkeeper when David Seaman was old, but unfortunately he was injured too many times.

This time, even due to injuries, he was not able to participate in the 02 World Cup in Japan and South Korea.

The rest of the goalkeepers are even more insignificant. At least they are all difficult to be accepted by the fans when they have David Seaman as their predecessor.

And who can take over David Seaman's class at Arsenal?

David Seaman was an important player in Arsenal's unbeaten championship last season.Although he did not achieve the superman result of "only conceding 1991 goals in a single season" like in the last season of League One in 18, but with the tacit understanding of the defense, he only conceded 27 goals in the league last season, which is also called This is the best defensive year in recent memory.

Considering David Seaman's age and Arsenal's lack of the intense defensive focus of the Graham era, it's rather surprising that they've managed to do so well.

It is also true that he will firmly occupy the position of the No. [-] goalkeeper in the World Cup, although many problems have been exposed on the field.

However, when everyone was worried about Arsenal and considering that they were about to lose such an excellent goalkeeper, Shao Bo launched Cech without any worries.

This young player who did not play in this World Cup.

Although in Eastern Europe, some media knew about such a young talented goalkeeper, and even some reporters in England knew that Cech played quite well during his loan period with Arsenal.

But who knows, whether Cech, who had almost no chance to play last season, can successfully catch the baton left by David Seaman this time?

Last season, Shao Bo deliberately did not loan Cech out in order to stabilize the gate, because he was afraid that Cech would be able to step up in case David Seaman was injured or had other accidents.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, David Seaman basically did not have any problems that season, and Cech only had the chance to play in the League Cup and the FA Cup.

Because of the rotation and schedule, he did participate in a few Champions League group matches.

It's a pity that it happened that Arsenal also made special efforts at that time for the devil's schedule and to keep the league unbeaten. Cech did not win any of the several Champions League games he participated in.They were scored by Roma and Bayern Munich respectively, leaving a lonely and young figure.

It is also for this reason that Cech left most of the media with the impression that he was not good at playing in a strong team, and his psychological quality was too poor.

The current Arsenal still maintains an unbeaten record. As long as they continue to maintain this trend next season, they are likely to surpass the unbeaten record of 42 games created by Nottingham Forest that year.

According to Cech's game situation last season, can he be competent?
