There is a dream called football

The Emirates Stadium was named the Emirates Stadium because it signed a 100 million pound sponsorship with Emirates Airlines.

Construction of this stadium began in 2003 and is expected to be put into use in July 2006. This stadium carries Arsenal's expectations for a new century and is also Wenger's most important decision after taking office.

Now all that's left of the stadium is the laying and decoration of the lawn. In the middle of this week, Wenger decided to take all the players to the Emirates Stadium.

The new stadium has a seating capacity of more than 60,000, and can be increased to a maximum of 70,000. It can be said to be a very modern stadium.

Wenger is very ambitious. He hopes that this place can become the holy place of English football like Wembley.

From a distance, looking out from the bus, the end of the sight is the Emirates Stadium. It is really big, at least bigger than Highbury.

"Wow, she's so beautiful." Van Persie smiled.

Wenger chuckled and said, "You can play there next season."

"Really? Then I can't transfer."

"Hahaha."

However, as a time traveler, Li Qiao knew what happened later. After the Emirates Stadium started operating, Arsenal's performance entered a watershed. Previously, Arsenal was the king of Europe, and since then...

Selling one captain every year has become the norm. Arsenal also has no money and cannot afford big-name stars. Their results in the Premier League are mediocre and they have become an oddity in competing for fourth place every year.

However, Li Qiao didn't understand these business matters. He only knew that Arsenal was struggling with the loans to build the Emirates Stadium, but it was unclear why.

But those things seem to have nothing to do with Li Qiao. Li Qiao does not have a strong Arsenal background, so there is no need to share the joys and sorrows with Arsenal. Maybe after Henry and Bergkamp leave, Li Qiao will also leave Arsenal.

The bus drove directly into the underground parking lot of the Emirates Stadium. The players got off the bus. The most excited one was Wenger. He had always wanted to have a stadium, and now he has one, so he was particularly excited.

"Haha, let me be your tour guide."

"Wow, such a famous tour guide."

The players followed Wenger.

"This is a special passage for people with disabilities. The Emirates Stadium is a barrier-free stadium. Look here, you can go directly to the fan shop over there."

"Head, where is the locker room?"

"Don't worry, the dressing room is of course the most important, but I won't take you there, it's still being renovated."

"Formaldehyde exceeds the standard."

"hehe."

"Let's go, the highlight of today, let's go see the stadium."

A group of people came to the side of the stadium. At this time, the lawn was still sand and had not been laid. The lawn must be the last on a stadium because the lawn is the most delicate and can only be laid after the stadium is fully decorated.

Standing on the edge of the stadium, you have an extremely wide view. This feeling is completely different from Highbury. You will feel small in Highbury. This is most obvious when watching the Premier League broadcast. Highbury Stadium feels like a

Small box.

Wenger folded his hands on his chest and stood on the sidelines, simulating the situation he might encounter in half a year. He would stand here and command his Arsenal.

"Arthur, this place is really much bigger than Highbury."

Wenger nodded, "It took us 10 years, starting from the initial design and approval, and it took us a full 10 years to have our own stadium."

In London, land is at a premium, and approvals are very troublesome. Later, Tottenham rebuilt the stadium and expanded it on the basis of White Hart Lane. They couldn't find a new place, so they had to rent Wembley Stadium.

"Let's go and see our honor showroom. It was decorated first and it was what I asked for."

When he saw the Honor Showroom, Li Qiao was filled with emotion. Because the place was designed to be so big, Wenger originally thought that he might not be able to hold down the championship in the future, but he didn't expect that from now on, Arsenal would only be able to compete for the top four in the Premier League.

In the 1997/98 season, Wenger led Arsenal to win the Premier League and FA Cup double championship. This was also the first Premier League championship won by Arsenal under Wenger. He was named the Premier League Coach of the Year that year.

"This was the first championship I led Arsenal to win. All those people had retired. At that time, Adams was still on the defensive line."

In the 01/02 season, Arsenal once again won the Premier League and FA Cup double crown. Seeing this, Wenger was very proud of himself.

"Look, it won't take long for us to conquer the Premier League again. It seems that we are just one short of a Champions League trophy."

"What's the point? We can conquer the Champions League this season." Someone echoed.

Wenger is also very happy. He doesn't seem to think Arsenal is far away from the Champions League because he has the best players in Europe.

"Have you noticed that in the past two years, whichever team Li Qiao joined, he won the Champions League?"

"It seems to be true."

Li Qiaohan regards himself as auspicious, like an auspicious beast.

"I was lucky enough to join a championship team."

Li Qiao can't say that I actually traveled through time and know what happened later.

"Then I hope you have good luck this time."

"hehe."

Wenger continued the introduction.

In the 03/04 season, Arsenal won the Premier League championship with an unbeaten record, which later became the famous 49-game unbeaten streak, which can be regarded as a Premier League legend.

But who would have thought that this would be Wenger's last important championship at Arsenal.

Among the people present, only Li Qiao knew this, and it was impossible for others to know. At this point, the showroom has occupied about one-tenth of the space, but in fact, in the next 10 years, this will come to an end.

"Li Qiao, why do you think you are unhappy?" Van Persie asked.

Li Qiao pointed to the end of the showroom and said, "How long do you think it will take for this place to be used up?"

Van Persie scratched his head, "Maybe 20 years."

"hehe."

Wenger patted the place behind the last Premier League trophy and said, "I hope there will be a Champions League trophy here at the end of this season."

Everyone also understands that Professor's focus this season has shifted to the Champions League. When the Emirates Stadium opens in July, of course he hopes to have a Champions League trophy as a gift. That would be great.

When we went back, everyone took a group photo outside the Emirates Stadium. This will be used by the staff of Arsenal’s official website, and all promotional materials will be put on the official website.

When I went back, the sun suddenly shone into the gloomy London. The Emirates Stadium was beautiful under the golden sunshine. Li Qiao didn't know if he could bring Arsenal a Champions League championship. If he could really be an auspicious person in this world.

, then Li Qiao is willing.

"If I can bring a Champions League to Arsenal, then I'll be happy."

Wenger patted the players.

"Let's go, kids."
