Strong Waist

After finishing their trip to China, Arsenal returned to Europe to continue their warm-up match tour.

The next two warm-up opponents are Nuremberg in the Bundesliga and Sevilla in La Liga.

Since Arsenal won the Premier League championship, their status has also risen sharply.

It is no longer necessary for them to take the initiative to find people for things like warm-up matches, but clubs take the initiative to come to them.

Prior to this, Barcelona also wanted to ask Arsenal for a warm-up match.

But Arsenal gave up all the teams that could become opponents in the Champions League, so as to find those clubs without any competitive conflicts.

And Nuremberg and Seville, the king of the Europa League, are very suitable.

Arsenal took the lead in going to Germany to contact Nuremberg for a warm-up match.

In this game, those substitutes finally got a chance to play.

Since the first game was a commercial match, Wenger directly played with all the main players. At the same time, he also arranged for a well-known player like Di Maria to go out and have fun.

But this time, Arsenal clearly got serious.

What they need to do now is drill the lineup.

Therefore, the starting lineup is currently Arsenal's most solid lineup.

Goalkeeper: Keylor Navas.

Defenders: Sagna, Mustafi, Koscielny, Gibbs.

Midfielders: Ramsey, Cazorla, Lucky.

Forwards: Di Maria, Suarez, Sanchez.

This lineup is all about solidity!

The partnership of Mustafi and Koscielny played very well last season, and it continued Wenger's tactical policy of holding the ball. Therefore, compared to Mertesacker, Wenger is now more inclined to Muss Taffy.

As for Mertesacker, he is preparing to rotate with Fernand's partner.

Judging from their previous performance, these two people are still very attractive.

The two full-backs were the only positions that could not be supplemented. Wenger did not recruit a suitable full-back after a round of selections. Even if there were suitable ones, they were snatched away by others.

Faced with this situation, Wenger should have been angry.

But when he thought that he had also snatched Navas and Di Maria back, he was relieved.

In midfield, the partnership between Cazorla and Lucky has remained the same for thousands of years. This is the core position of Arsenal.

As for Ramsey, he will rotate with Kanter.

Although Kanter performed well in the training game, it is unknown how he will perform in the real game. Wenger still needs to investigate.

If it can really make up for Lucky's attacking position, then Kanter's starter at Arsenal will be fine.

The striker is currently Arsenal's sharpest offensive line.

There is no need to mention Suarez and Di Maria.

Both are strong offensively, and Sanchez is also excellent at stirring up the big box.

It can be said that even without Cazorla, these three have the ability to fight alone.

The task of Lucky and Cazorla in this game is to provide enough shells!

Nuremberg fell into the second division with the second-to-last record in the league last season.

Immediately carried out some rectification, but the overall has not changed much.

At the beginning of the game, Arsenal showed strong oppression.

Press from the very first moments of the game and work up the press.

At this moment, Arsenal has gradually perfected Wenger's pass-and-cut style of play and the initiative under high-position pressing.

Basically, Arsenal played unilaterally. Even if they lost the ball, Arsenal would counterattack on the spot, giving Nuremberg a great sense of oppression.

Cazorla and Lucky directly turned into passing machines. With the support of each shell, Arsenal advanced in three ways, causing Nuremberg a lot of pain.

While Lucky is constantly passing and receiving the ball, he also pays attention to the running positions of the three forwards.

Of course, Lucky focused more on Di Maria.

As the king of Arsenal's summer transfer, Wenger naturally hopes that Di Maria will integrate into the team smoothly, especially to form a linkage with the midfielder.

Di Maria also ran very actively and communicated seriously.

And in running again and again, Lucky finally understood how to use Di Maria.

Di Maria is not a player like Walcott. He can gain enough advantages on the wing with his personal ability. free play.

Thinking of this, Lucky came behind Di Maria and signaled Cazorla to pass back.

Cazorla passed the ball to Le Kai, and Le Kai passed it diagonally to Di Maria, and then ran towards the space in front of him.

Di Maria saw this ordinary pass and immediately retreated.

At the same time, the opponent's defensive players are also closely following.

Di Maria feigned observation, ready to pass the ball at any time.

When he was close to the ball, he suddenly accelerated his sprint and swayed his right foot on the ball, deceiving the opponent's defensive player to block it towards the inside.

But in the next second, the whole body pulled back and hooked the ball back. The explosive power was fully displayed, and he began to break through at high speed along the sidewalk.

This sudden change made Nuremberg a little overwhelmed.

But at this time, Di Maria was already approaching the penalty area.

"Quick! Go up and guard against him!"

Nuremberg can only select one central defender for restriction.

But Di Maria didn't slow down at all. Without any adjustment, he directly rubbed the ball towards the middle.

This pass was just right to bypass another Nuremberg defender who was followed by Suarez and scored!

Arsenal finally scored after 20 minutes of attacking.

This goal gave full play to Di Maria's ability.

Whether it is the simple and quick breakthrough ability or cross ability.

All these make Di Maria a big killer for Arsenal on the wing!

Even Wenger on the sidelines nodded again and again.

"It's worth the money!" Patrice nodded.

Wenger smiled and said, "Di Maria doesn't need too much care. Kay discovered this problem very quickly. I think his future opportunities to pass the ball will be more inclined to Sanchez on the left!"

It is good to have a worry-free wing forward, who can create opportunities by himself, which also makes Lucky and Cazorla focus more on other places.

Like a child without milk...

"Here! My place is empty!"

"Look!! Pass it to me!!"

"Me, me, me!!"

Sanchez yelled happily. This guy is extremely energetic and has a bad mouth.

He used exaggerated body language to express that he was trustworthy!

And under Sanchez's tireless pleading again and again, Lucky and Cazorla finally noticed him.

Lucky cooperated with Cazorla to completely suppress the opponent's midfielder, and suddenly used his strength to hit the wall to pass the defense line of the midfielder.

At the same time, Lucky distributed the ball to Sanchez, allowing the guy to face the opponent's defense directly.

Sanchez was eager to try, and now in the most familiar position, his combat effectiveness is even more direct MAX!

This guy's movements are extremely flexible, and the frequency of his feet is even more astonishingly fast.

Even Le Kai, in the case of not being close to the body, once he is pulled away by this guy, under the swift frequency of his feet, he is still only able to be broken through.

This is unstoppable by any foresight ability.

After all, even if the head keeps up, the body may not be able to keep up with this frequency change!

And the Nuremberg defenders are obviously in this pain.

Sanchez directly knocked down the full-back!

Immediately, he dialed the ball to the left, opened the shooting neutral, and hit the goal from a small angle.

This shot was extremely tricky, and he got in close to the goal post.

In 35 minutes, Arsenal scored another goal!

Both wing forwards performed very well!

Wenger also nodded in satisfaction, and immediately made a substitution.

The warm-up match is the time to test the newly joined players and substitutes.

This kind of unlimited substitution opportunities, Wenger will not let go, he will give every player the same opportunity.

Wenger made three substitutions at once.

Suarez, Sanchez, Ramsey off.

Campbell, Walcott and Kanter come on.

Among the three, the main targets of observation are Campbell and Kanter.

Campbell did well in the World Cup, which is why Wenger brought the guy back to Arsenal.

He hopes that Campbell can continue this state at Arsenal.

And Kanter is given more expectations.

Wenger is planning to use Kanter and Lucky in combination. Once Kanter can really show enough ability to steal and intercept, and after Lucky attacks, he will undertake the work of 'building the wall' again, even if it is just a restriction. Can Wenger's great investment in training!

Kanter walked onto the field silently, wearing a similar red and white Arsenal jersey, with the No. 17 jersey on the back. This is the back number he wore in Caen and continued to Arsenal.

Seeing Kanter coming up, Le Kai stepped forward and patted Kanter on the shoulder and said, "I'll leave it to you!"

Kantor knew what Lucky meant.

He nodded seriously. This is the first official warm-up match for Arsenal, and Kanter also needs to make enough performance.
