Strong Waist

Chapter 95: The Third Captain Who Is About to Leave

It is a rare thing that the head coach of the national team personally calls to inform the training time, and it also represents how much attention they pay to themselves.

For the World Cup, Le Kai was full of enthusiasm, but also had some emotions.

If it is a different time and space, even his current ability will hardly help the national team enter the World Cup.

But it's different here.

Wang Yi, Chen Man, Liu Kairui and others are all strong supporters.

Lucy knew very well that he would not fight alone.

He has equally strong teammates.

Although he has not had much contact with these teammates so far, judging from some game situations and reports, they are all trustworthy and have a strong enough level.

After hearing the phone call, Le Kai's heart became hot and it was difficult to calm down.

Fortunately, he wasn't training anymore, so he took out his phone, lay down and began to scan information.

The squad for the national team has been announced.

Wang Yi, Le Kai and others are all on the list, and they are definitely the main force.

Most of the remaining players are a mix of overseas players and domestic players.

For these teammates, Lucky hardly knew.

The only one who stayed in the youth training camp with Chen Man, but it has been several years, Le Kai doesn't know what level this guy is now, what are his characteristics.

After thinking about it messily for a while, Le Kai ran into the bathroom and took a cold shower to calm himself down a bit.

Immediately, I simply packed up my things and got ready for bed.

…

The next morning, Le Kai got up early and started trimming his beard in front of the mirror.

There is still a circle of stubble, but it does appear to be much thicker.

But it is incomparable with those bearded men in Europe.

But after having a circle of stubble, the whole person is indeed mature and a lot more fierce.

This shape is also conducive to Lucky intimidating opponents in the arena.

After taking good care of his beard again, Le Kai dried his hair, did a simple styling, and then drove to the training base.

The 33rd round of the league is over, and the second round of the quarter-finals is about to usher in.

They will play Dortmund at home.

Despite winning the away game, Arsenal still couldn't relax.

Champions League counterattacks similar to Istanbul Night still exist.

What's more, Arsenal only led by a small score, and Dortmund scored a goal and equalized.

Therefore, the pressure on Arsenal also exists.

After all, it is the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and the intensity is completely different.

Of course, for Arsenal, the intensity is still the same.

After all, since the group stage, except for a few games, Arsenal's opponents have been extremely strong every time.

They can only shake their heads and sigh for the difference in Arsenal's signing luck.

Arsenal fans have been in a state of extreme clamor lately.

They are extremely looking forward to every game.

They expect Arsenal to defeat a strong opponent and move on.

This sentiment has already begun to emerge from the defeat of Bayern Munich.

Of course, Arsenal fans are also more rational.

They are also very clear that it is difficult for Arsenal to win the championship in a two-line battle.

Therefore, the Champions League and the league should always give up one.

Compared with the league that is closer to the championship, the Champions League is a bit out of the question.

In fact, Arsenal fans are also very clear that their hope of going far in the Champions League is slim.

After entering the semi-finals, those opponents were all too strong.

Arsenal, fighting on one line, is likely to be in a state of collapse.

If the league side does not win the championship, the Champions League side will have nothing to gain.

Instead of betting on the illusory Champions League, it is better to add strength to the league.

But it’s still the same sentence, it’s a pity to discard it!

There are no words to express the enthusiasm of Arsenal fans for the Champions League, especially after they were infinitely close to the Champions League title, and then missed everything.

For today's Arsenal fans, the Champions League is simply a fatal attraction.

Therefore, they have been in a tangled state.

Obviously reason told them to give up.

But... who can really give up the Champions League!

"I'm not going to give up the Champions League!"

After finishing the tactical guidance, Wenger made his first statement to everyone.

Regarding this statement, the Arsenal players did not show any expression.

In fact, they are very supportive of this choice.

Facing Real Madrid so consistently, Arsenal's only advantage is...Chelsea are also playing in the semi-finals of the Champions League!

In the game against Real Madrid, Arsenal were under a lot of pressure in all positions.

Suarez, Walcott and Rosicky are going to challenge the BBC combination on the striker!

In the midfield, Cazorla and Le Kai have to experience Modric, who is now in an even more explosive state.

Not to mention the defense line, Ramos and other defenders are now in their prime.

From the analysis of the lineup alone, Arsenal has almost no chance.

And at this time, Wenger gave the tactical arrangement for the semi-finals.

"We play 4-2-3-1!"

After finishing speaking, Wenger didn't say any more, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Vermaelen grinned and asked; "What else? Professor?"

Wenger shook his head and said, "No more! This is our tactic!"

Le Kai blinked his eyes, and suddenly realized.

Wenger wants them to play the most familiar tactics!

Arsenal's most familiar tactic is undoubtedly the 4-2-3-1 pass and cut play.

This set of formations combines high pressing and midfield strangling, and a formation based on a lot of running.

But the real reason is... this is the tactic Arsenal are most familiar with.

There will be a lot of unconstrained tactics in the group stage and the knockout stage, but after entering the semi-final stage, there will be a return to basics.

Everyone started to come up with their most familiar style of play.

Because each of them is very clear that after reaching this level, the opponent can no longer be defeated by relying on these small tricks.

Head-to-head has become everyone's first theme!

Playing your own rhythm is the key!

So often at this time, all teams will choose the most familiar tactics to face head-on.

And Wenger apparently did the same.

After deciding on the tactics, Wenger let the players go out for training.

The training intensity is very low, and even the previous running laps are omitted, obviously to allow them to further recover their physical fitness and other states.

After the players left the tactical room, Patrice came over and asked, "Are we really not giving up? I feel that enough is enough!"

Wenger turned to look at Patrice and said, "What is enough?"

"The Champions League! This season's performance is enough! We can compete for the league with all our strength!" Patrice said.

Regarding this, Wenger shook his head and said: "In the past, I also thought this way, thinking about how to face the game in a better state! But later, we gradually figured it out!"

Wenger looked out the window as the players poured into the training ground.

As soon as they walked into the training ground, they started their own training, even if no one supervised them, they still did the same.

"Do you think they want to give up?"

Patrice also looked out the window and sighed long.

Wenger: "Every give-up is for a better situation, but every give-up is consuming our will."

"It's the first time for them to come to this stage. Even if they lose, we must let them understand the loss instead of muddling through it. This is not conducive to their growth!"

"No one is born a champion. Champions are produced step by step. Constant setbacks! Failure! These will become a whetstone, making the blade sharper!"

"I will not give up the Champions League. They want to fight, even if they lose the league championship. They need a game, a game that faces themselves and their opponents squarely!"

Patrice opened his mouth, but finally gave up.

He still does not agree with this point of view, he thinks the league championship is the most important thing.

In this regard, Wenger did not explain too much.

Yes!

The league championship is very important!

But Wenger's ambitions don't stop there.

Kudos to Arsenal from reaching Europe!

He wants to make history!

And history begins from this moment!

Why doesn't Wenger understand how big the gap is between Arsenal and Real Madrid today.

But even so, it takes a fight!

Let them feel the atmosphere, let them fully exercise themselves!
