Prato and Udinese have a lot of grievances, and when Prato was still a C2 team, Pozzo Sr. did a lot of bad things behind his back in order to poach Gianni Caida from Prato. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's just that what I didn't expect was that Udinese, who still had a down-looking attitude towards Prato back then, is now on the same starting line as Prato. However, the Udinese team deserves to be an old first-class team, although relegated, but the heritage is still there, there is still Paul. A striker like Poggi is willing to stay with the team. Udinese have 17 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats in the second division this season, only one point behind Atalanta at the top of the table, and the hope of returning to the first division is very high.

In the first half of the season, Prato lost to Udinese at home because of the run-in problem of the lineup, and at this time, new and old hatreds came to his heart, which made Chen Lin attach great importance to this game. I went to the Friuli Stadium in Udinese to watch the game.

It's just that although Chen Lin is eager for revenge, the game is often not transferred by people's will. The Udinese team finally won the game with Paul. Poggi scored a goal to draw at home to Prato, ending Prato's ten-game winning streak. Although he was a little disappointed, Chen Lin, who has been insisting on the coaching course for more than a year, also saw that the team was actually playing normally in this game, and Belon and Effenberg, who originally thought that their positions were overlapping, also had some cooperation and tacit understanding, and the team was developing in a good direction.

Although the team also came out of the predicament in the first half of the season with the substitute lineup, and even achieved a good record of seven consecutive wins, if it wants to go further in the Cup Winners' Cup, it must also rely on the performance of the main lineup.

In midweek, Prato travels to London, the capital of the United Kingdom, to Highbury Stadium in north London, where he will host the first match of the European Cup Winners' Cup semi-final with Premier League side Arsenal.

Arsenal are one of England's top teams, and since the First World War, the FA has expanded the First Division, and Arsenal voted to be promoted to the First Division, and since then, Arsenal have remained in the top flight of England, becoming the only team that has never been relegated. Thirty years later, under the leadership of renowned coach Chapman, Dai swept England through the epoch-making "WM" tactic, becoming only the second team in England's top flight to win three consecutive league titles – the first to do so was Huddersfield Town – and now a team in League One.

Ten top-flight titles, six FA Cups, two League Cups, and one each for the UEFA Cup and Cup Winners' Cup, Arsenal are undoubtedly one of the best teams in England. Arsenal also won last season's Cup Winners' Cup, and it was they who prevented Parma from defending their title and prevented the Serie A side from winning the Grand Slam in all three European cups.

With the gradual decline of former hegemons such as Liverpool and Nottingham Forest, and the 92 golden generation of Manchester United led by Alex Ferguson has not yet matured, Arsenal has become the current king of English football.

Therefore, almost no one is optimistic about Prato's prospects in the Cup Winners' Cup, you must know that any Arsenal main player is taken out, all of them are active internationals of the England national team, such as Adams, Keown, Seaman and others are all famous figures in world football. The gap between Prato and Arsenal, even in terms of commoners and aristocrats, should not be enough to describe, it should be the gap between kings and beggars.

The local media in Prato have even suggested that the team could use a substitute squad for the match against Arsenal to conserve the energy of the core players and focus on the league sprint.

Against this backdrop, the Prato team arrived in London the day before the match. As soon as they got off the plane, Prato and his party felt the unusual atmosphere of the quarter-finals of the Cup Winners' Cup, after all, it is one of the top honors of European teams. On the way to Arsenal's home stadium for acclimatisation, several police cars opened the way in front and guarded in the back, and when they arrived at the stadium, more than 100 heavily armed police officers surrounded Highbury Stadium and prevented fans from approaching the Prato team.

After Spalletti led the Prato players into the field for training, Chen Lin, who was extremely bored, visited the Highbury Stadium with great curiosity. While the 38,000-seat Highbury Stadium is definitely the smallest stadium of any Premier League team, it is not comparable to the Bisencchio Stadium. But what really made Chen Lin care about it was some details of Highbury Stadium.

For example, the spectator seats are very close to the stadium, and the nearest seats are even a few meters away from the lawn, which makes the audience feel the intensity and excitement of the game more immersively, but many stadiums in Italy are mostly multi-stadiums, and spectators can only watch the stadium from a distance. Chen Lin was inspired by the Premier League stadium and decided to transform the Bisenchio Stadium into a professional football stadium.

In addition, the difference between the home and away locker rooms, the luxurious configuration of the VIP boxes, and the commercial development inside the stadium have all made Chen Lin gain a lot of knowledge. In particular, there is a department store called "Arsenal Arcade" in Highbury, which is full of merchandise related to the Arsenal team. However, unlike the traditional concept of jerseys, sneakers and other sports goods endorsed by the team, many of the household items sold in the arsenal mall are unrelated to sports, from pencil sharpeners and keychains with the Arsenal logo to quilts and curtains printed with Arsenal cannon patterns, as well as dolls and stickers modeled after many Arsenal stars, and all kinds of goods with the concept of Arsenal appeared on the shelves, which opened Chen Lin's eyes.

And even if it's not a match day, there are a lot of people who visit here, many of whom can be seen from the clothes and accessories are Arsenal fans, and they basically don't return empty-handed, and some come here to buy even just to buy a piece of paper with the Arsenal logo printed on it. Here, they feel like home, and when they are tired of shopping, they can have a drink in the café next to them, some with small children, and there is a special children's play area inside the stadium.

Seeing this, Chen Lin's determination to renovate the Bisenchio Stadium was even stronger, even if it cost a lot. Because such a stadium will become the cornerstone of the team's rise, even if Chen Lin is no longer magical, it can still make blood for the team.

After leaving Highbury after the acclimatization training, the Prato team made their way to the hotel where they were staying, where one of them was waiting for their arrival.
