Strong Waist

Chapter Eight Playing Football Like Before

Following the first warm-up match, Arsenal played two more warm-up matches.

They played against Barcelona in La Liga and Leverkusen in the Bundesliga.

The warm-up match between Arsenal and Barcelona undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention, but the two sides did not open the viewing channel. This was just an internal warm-up match.

Arsenal chose to play a warm-up match with Barcelona, ​​mainly because of Manchester City's relationship.

And Barcelona also want to test their own strength.

No one knows how the game progressed, but the two sides directly evolved into a goal battle.

The score soared to the level of 5:5.

For Barcelona, ​​Suarez capped and Messi scored twice.

On Arsenal's side, Lukaku, Wilshere, Mane, Aubameyang and Giroud who came off the bench are blooming in many ways.

Lucky got four assists!

Although no video data was provided, just looking at the score, it can be seen that this must be a fight between dragons and tigers.

After this game, Arsenal played the last warm-up match with Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. After this game, Arsenal will prepare for the first round of the season.

This game is also the only warm-up match Arsenal won.

Winning Leverkusen 2:1, Lucky scored two dollars.

So far, Arsenal's pre-season warm-up games are all over.

 …

\u0026 On August 5, 7, there was only one week left before the league opener.

During this time, all parties are also stepping up the final debugging.

This week's Community Shield has become a battle for the opening game of the Premier League.

From last season's Premier League champions Manchester City to the FA Cup champions Liverpool.

Guardiola's team fought fiercely with Klopp's players for 90 minutes. In the end, Liverpool won the Community Shield trophy, which was a good start.

Liverpool ranked fifth in the standings last season, but because Arsenal won the Europa League and directly participated in the Champions League group stage, the league qualifications were moved forward, and Liverpool also won the Champions League qualifying round.

But they have to play the group in advance to qualify for the play-offs, but in Liverpool's state, there is no problem.

If all goes well, the Premier League will have five teams participating in the Champions League group stage.

After the end of the Community Shield, all the teams have begun to prepare for the first round of the Premier League.

Arsenal is the Premier League opener, and they will face Leicester City in the first round.

Last season, Leicester City performed poorly as the defending champion of the Premier League. Although they were not relegated, they lost a large part of public opinion and enthusiasm.

And after the heat of the so-called miracle of Leicester City subsided, it could not continue to bring any help to this team.

However, taking advantage of that enthusiasm, Leicester City is also making a lot of money, and it is estimated that it belongs to the healthiest club in the Premier League financially.

After all, many teams from the Premier League giants this season are another big-investment transfer model.

Arsenal's transfers are all based on Giroud alone. Although the investment is not much, it is also a lot.

However, combined with some players on loan and sold, the cost will be less than planned.

After Mourinho gained the power to transfer, he stopped spending money lavishly, but began to count carefully.

Although there is no previous standard king gimmick, this Arsenal team does not need to attract attention in this way.

Based on their performance last season and their status as Europa League champions, although Arsenal ranked fourth in the league standings last season, they still belong to the first echelon in the Champions League.

But before that, Arsenal still need to solve a problem.

'Lubricant'!

"Judging from the performance of the last three games, Wilshere and Ramsey are the best options for this role, and compared to Wilshere, the cooperation between Ramsey, Giroud and the winger To be more tacit."

Arteta said; "I think we should focus on cultivating Ramsey's fit with this set of tactics."

"I am the same way. If Ramsey can be added to this lineup, then we will have more flexibility in the midfield position. It is not unrelated to the rotation of Ramsey and Wilshere."

Coaches have their say.

Mourinho, on the other hand, was staring at the back-to-defense video of the game.

In the video, Wilshere and Ramsey have cooperating shots.

In cooperation, Wilshere and Ramsey's choices are completely different.

Ramsey will choose to play more balls for the two wings to help the center attract firepower.

But Wilshere charged straight into the battle, his kicks were simpler and more impactful.

However, the success rate is not high.

After meditating for a moment, Mourinho waved his hands and said, "Let's stop here for today's discussion. As for who will play this role, I still need to think about it."

After finishing speaking, Mourinho said to Arteta; "Call me Wilshere!"

.....

Five minutes later, Wilshere arrived in Mourinho's office.

Wilshere was a little apprehensive. After all, anyone who was called to the head coach's office alone had this kind of mentality.

But Wilshere racked his brains and couldn't figure out what mistake he had made.

"sit down!"

Mourinho invited Wilshere to sit down, and immediately pulled out a laptop directly from the side, pressed the Enter key, and the video on the screen began to play.

The quality of the video is a bit old. This is a video of Wilshere playing football seven years ago.

In the video, Wilshere's skills are gorgeous at his feet, and he is extremely sharp and chic among others.

As a rare technical school among British players, the former Wilshere was a pure breakthrough player.

Wilshere didn't understand why Mourinho showed this video to himself, he looked up suspiciously.

Mourinho pointed to the laptop and said, "If you are allowed to play like before, how sure are you?"

"Play football like before?" Hearing this, Wilshere pondered.

After the transformation, Wilshere is now a midfielder who is more inclined to organize and rhythm. Although there are occasional breakthroughs, they will not be done frequently.

This is very different from his age and changes in his style of play.

It is not easy for him to play back to his previous style.

"I don't have much confidence!" Wilshere said bluntly, and then added; "But I can try."

He didn't dare to refuse, the ghost knows what Mourinho is thinking.

Once you refuse, you will have to put a question mark on what will happen to you when the time comes.

Mourinho was very satisfied with Wilshere's attitude. He smiled; "I hope you will be bundled with Giroud. Although the coaching staff thinks that Ramsey cooperates better with him, what I need is not a transfer. It's a breakthrough!"

"If the most effective and sharpest counterattack is carried out in the shortest time!"

Mourinho said seriously; "You need to pierce the opponent's heart with a sharp arrow. This is the center forward retreat I want to see!"

 …

Wilshere returned to the training ground with an extremely serious expression on his face.

Le Kai walked over and asked, "What did you say?"

Wilshere didn't hide it, and sighed; "He let me play football like before."

"Before?" Lucy was puzzled.

"breakthrough!"

Wilshere continued to sigh; "So I have recently restarted the foot frequency, change of direction, and started to lose weight!"

At this time, Wilshere looked up and just saw the young Saka swaying from side to side in the arena, directly shaking the cumbersome Ramsey to the ground.

"Damn 17 years old!" Wilshere became more and more angry.

Le Kai patted the other party's shoulder with a smile and said, "Come on!"

I can only work hard!

Wilshere wants to win this position and continue to consolidate his main position. For this reason, he must obey Mourinho's arrangement and play the style that the opponent wants.

"Mickel helped me get the equipment for training the change of direction, and was counting the seconds for me. It's best to help me retrieve the previous record of the change of direction from the database for comparison!"

Hearing this, Arteta nodded, turned and left.

After a while, steering rods, phase discs, resistance bands, climbing racks and even frequency training equipment are all available.

In this regard, Wilshere directly praised.

"Awesome!"

Arteta smiled: "Then let's get started!"

Beep! !

The whistle sounded, and Wilshere began to practice hard foot frequency and change of direction.

As for Arteta, it is to help the opponent record.

In fact, when Mourinho called Wilshere over, he basically understood that Mourinho prefers Wilshere's sharp attacking style compared to Ramsey's style.

For this, he is also ready!

After all, the assistant coach's job is to help the head coach share the work pressure.
