The Emirates Stadium, where Deegan and his teammates are playing for the first time, is significantly larger and more complete than Arsenal's previous home stadium, Highbury, and although Highbury is one of Shijie's most well-known stadiums, Arsenal still realise that they still have to have a bigger and better stadium to compete with those elite European clubs.

It was their manager Arsene Wenger who first proposed the new stadium: "I don't remember exactly when I made the proposal to the board, probably after we won the Double in 1998, and although I was very involved in it, I was not a director, so I was only involved as an adviser, I was just the manager of the team, I have a responsibility to contribute to the growth of the club, and it is important for the club to have a vision. ”

Due to a lack of funds, the club announced that the completion of the new stadium would be postponed from 2005 to 2006, which led to a lot of speculation and even rumours that the team would use Highbury to share a stadium with Tottenham Hotspur.

Arsene Wenger refuted this claim, saying: "We will look at different proposals, but we have always focused on building a new jihua. ”

For the new stadium, Arsenal signed a £100 million sponsorship deal with Emirates, which will be named Emirates Stadium after the 2006 season, with naming rights for a period of 15 years, and Emirates will replace O2 as the main shirt sponsor of Arsenal for eight years from the first season of the new stadium.

The huge impact of the Emirates Stadium is evident, with Arsenal now earning £1 million more than they used to do in almost every matchday, and that doesn't include other commercial income.

In the early hours of 23 July 2006, Arsenal played a friendly match with Ajax, which was Arsenal's first match at the Emirates Stadium and the farewell match of Dutch veteran Bergkamp.

The Emirates Stadium is undoubtedly one of the most luxurious stadiums in the Premier League, with fans and the home team Arsenal enjoying top quality in this stadium, but those who visit here are not so lucky.

The visiting teams not only have to fight against the Gunners on the football pitch, but also against objective factors off the pitch. Just as the spectacular scenery on the pitch is also a very unique behind-the-scenes story unfolding in the dressing room of the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is very detail-oriented, with the construction and construction of the Emirates Stadium under his watchful eye and supervision. In order to create a more comfortable working environment, Arsene Wenger's humanistic care for his disciples is reflected in every corner of the Emirates Stadium. Turf, lights, sideline buffers and the home team's dressing room.

The home team dressing room at the Emirates Stadium is equipped with all the modern amenities and is bright and airy.

The home team's dressing room is staggeringly large and clearly influenced by Arsene Wenger's feng shui philosophy, which is what he brought back from Japan. For the sake of auspiciousness, the room is designed to be horseshoe-shaped, with no corners or sharp edges inside. The ceiling was built according to the acoustic principle, so that Wenger no longer had to shout at the top of his voice, but could be heard by everyone if he spoke casually.

All the players are in place in a certain order, goalkeeper, defender, midfielder, striker and then substitutes, so that the line is clockwise, but this is not an original Wenger novelty, it is Arsenal's own tradition.

This means that when Wenger talks during the game, all the players see the front of the professor, not the back, whether it is Galla or Cesc Fabregas, or those substitutes, Wenger's facial expressions and emotional reactions can be seen very intuitively, which is very important for the players and the manager.

The details in the home team's dressing room are not limited to this, the walls are uniformly white, a pollution-free color that makes people quieter, the players' seats are electrically heated, which helps them keep their bodies warm and circulate blood in their legs for 15 minutes at half-time, and the players' jerseys are hung in their own compartments, which has a lamp in the cubicle, made of brown pine heads.

Under the players' seats, the staff in charge of the players' match equipment will arrange their boots neatly, and there is also a private room in the home team's dressing room for physiotherapists to treat the injured, and in the middle of the dressing room, there is a dining table with plenty of fruit, water and high-energy drinks through which the players can refuel in time. The temperature in the dressing room is adjusted to the outside temperature on match days, and when Arsenal players come in at half-time, they don't immediately enter a relatively cold environment.

With Arsene Wenger putting a lot of emphasis on detail, the away dressing room will also be the object of his care, and the away dressing room is a different story than the home dressing room.

There is also a table in the middle of the away dressing room, but the height of the table is so particular that when the visitors and the manager sit upright, the table blocks the view of each other, and when food and drinks are placed on it, the manager's head is out of sight.

The away team's seats are not heated, the temperature in the dressing room is not heated, the floor tiles are slippery than in the home team's dressing room, and the storage compartments under the visitors' seats are locked, so the visitors have to bend over or squat down if they want to place anything.

From this point of view, Wenger has put a lot of effort into many details in order to ensure the home team's advantage before the game. But then again, at any stadium in the Premier League, where can the away team's dressing room compare to the home team?

And these details are part of the culture of English football.

This proves once again that Arsene Wenger is a manager who has been a boss at every turn, and he is not even averse to some of the traditional tricks of using the facilities to deal with visitors.

In the visitors' dressing room, the Fiorentina players were preparing for the start of the game, and everyone seemed relaxed, with Pacini and Montolivo still chatting.

"I think we should make a suggestion to the club, the dressing room at the Fraki Stadium is terrible compared to here!" Pacini has always been a guy who likes to complain, no way, that's his character.

Of course, it's no wonder that the infrastructure of the Fraki Stadium is indeed a few streets worse than the Emirates Stadium, but this is also a helpless thing, in Italy, the club cannot own the stadium, and the ownership of the stadium belongs to the local municipal council. Naturally, de la Valle will not spend his own money to increase, the fixed assets of the Florentine City Council.

Montolivo ignored Pacini's complaints, looked at the dressing room and said, "It seems that Stamford Bridge is not as good as here!" ”

"The dressing room at Vladki Stadium is hell compared to here!" Pacini's tone was a little jealous.

Caused the rest of his teammates to daxiao for a while.

"If you go and look at their home dressing room, it's hell too!" Deegan pushed the door open and walked in, "Alright! Guys! I am back! Any idea where I just went? ”

Everyone looked at him.

Deegan laughed: "I have to say that this place is really too big, so I was very unlucky to go to the wrong dressing room, which made me find a very interesting phenomenon, Mr. Wenger seems to really do nothing in order to win!" ”

Degan had heard about the visiting locker room at the Emirates Stadium in his previous life, and today because of an "accident", he confirmed it by the way.

When Degan had explained what he had seen to everyone, Pacini couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh God! Are Arsenal planning to turn their dressing rooms into a five-star hotel? ”

Deegan walked over and patted Pacini on the shoulder and asked him to sit down: "I don't know what they planned, but what I want to tell you is that if you want to take a shower, you better be careful with the ground, I don't want to let anyone have an accident before the game because of hygiene!" ”

Hearing what Deegan said, his teammates noticed that the floor tiles in the away team's dressing room at the Emirates Stadium were indeed slippery and could be skated.

"That's how Londoners are hospitality!?" Kavinagji said.

Deegan shrugged his shoulders noncommittally: "Fernando! Unfortunately, I can't answer you, but as I just saw, Arsenal are giving us problems in every way, so what do you think we should do? ”

Pacini exclaimed: "Kill them and let Arsenal know that any little tricks will not work for us!" ”

Deegan smiled and said, "Good! That's exactly what I want to say, they're doing everything they can to put obstacles in our way, and all we have to do now is to tell them that if we want to beat Fiorentina, we can only do it on the pitch, with real skills, off the pitch, we have nothing to fear! ”

"Even on the court, we don't care about their bastards who can only play tricks!"

The players were angry and shouted because of this obvious differential treatment.

Seeing that the heat was almost over, Degan took the initiative to step aside.

Prandley saw Degan's performance just now, and when he saw Deegan walking to his side, he asked with a smile, "Are you really going wrong!?" ”

Deegan smiled and said, "Of course, Coach! You know, I've had a lot of luck off the pitch! ”

Prandley smiled: "I hope you have bad luck off the pitch and don't bring it to the pitch!" ”

Deegan looked at his excited teammates: "Of course! On the pitch, Lady Luck has always been very fond of me. ”

"Really went wrong!" Prandley felt that Deegan must be playing some kind of machiatric tricks, and that he was a man of great curiosity.

Deegan looked at the gossip coach with some helplessness: "Coach! It doesn't seem to matter anymore! ”

When it was time to play, the players of both teams stood in two lines at the exit of the players' tunnel.

"Welcome to the Emirates Stadium!"

Deegan turned his head and glanced at Fabregas: "Xiexie! Just now in the locker room, we already felt your enthusiasm! ”

Fabregas gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Just now we should have treated you as a spy and beat you up!" ”

Fabregas's little threat, Digan didn't even look at it: "Really? But in that case, I think you'll lose even more! ”

Deegan said and looked back at the other players of Arsenal, his eyes were full of provocation, all of them were stupid and coarse, and they were not enough for the master to punch him.

"Don't you want to leave here smiling today!" Fabregas didn't know what was wrong, since just now, he felt that his blood was about to burn, this feeling was the first time, and he couldn't help but want to provoke Degan.

This is the first time Cesc Fabregas has appeared in front of Arsenal fans as captain on the field, he wants to do well, he must do well, and the condition for doing Haode is to kill Fiorentina and lead Arsenal to the Champions League final.

But in terms of the battle of words, how Fabregas, a young shoot, is the opponent of Degan: "Of course, we will leave here with tears of excitement and nostalgia for this super stadium!" All right! Spanish genius, I don't want to fight with you anymore, if you're really as good as you say, come to the court and beat me, otherwise, just shut up and go back to your mother's arms and cry! ”

Fabregas was stunned by Degan's sudden reprimand and was about to fight back, only to see the referee turn his head and stare at the two of them.

"Be quiet! If you don't want this game to be 10 to 10, shut up now! ”

Degan has already been happy, so naturally he has no opinion: "Of course, I am happy to serve you!" ”

Fabregas hadn't been happy yet, he was a little depressed at this moment, and Gala, who was standing behind him, persuaded: "Don't pay attention to him, that guy, only one mouth is powerful!" ”

Gala may not be happy with being stripped of his captaincy, but it is not Cesc Fabregas's fault.

Degan laughed strangely: "I can't compare to you, your stinky mouth has lost the captain's armband!" ”

When Gala heard this, her hair almost grew out in anger, and she was about to speak, when she heard the referee shout unbearably: "Zuihou once warned, shut up!" ”

When Deegan heard this, he immediately spread his hands and proved his innocence.

Cesc Fabregas hated itchy: "I'll beat you on the pitch!" ”

Deegan smiled: "Wait and see!" ”

The referee is really going crazy at this point, but at this time, it is time for them to enter the field.

Walking out of the players' tunnel, feeling the cheers of the surrounding Arsenal fans to the home team, and of course, the curses given to him were indispensable, Degan actually smiled, looked left and right, and whispered: "It's really good!" ”
