Strong Waist

Chapter 16 The first round of the Premier League is about to begin

Arsenal won the Community Shield and won their first championship of the season, which greatly increased the confidence of the entire team to a certain extent.

After all, it is the first championship of the season, which is a good start.

However, the players also know very well that the Community Shield does not represent anything, and the same is true for Leicester City.

If it were Leicester City last season, that would be fine. You can test the strength of the lineup.

But the current Leicester City is severely divided by the giants, and its strength is weak. In this state, Leicester City can no longer be called a good test object.

Lucky's performance in this game still became the focus of attention from the outside world.

Many people are speculating, how long will Lucai's crazy state last?

In this state, who can stop Lucai from performing?

Although the season has not yet started, for many teams, after watching this game, they already have a certain understanding of the strength of Arsenal's lineup. Especially at Lucky's position, there is really no way to limit it. !

If you want to limit Lucky, you must go deep into the opponent's half. Without an absolute strength gap, this kind of play is tantamount to courting death.

If Lucky is ignored, the problem will be even bigger.

According to Lucky's current state, his long-range scoring ability and passing ability will definitely become a serious problem for them.

All teams are studying Lucky and how to restrict this Arsenal, but they have not yet found an effective enough method.

"I guess everyone is studying Kai!"

Mourinho is in the office, a smile on his face.

It's rare to see such a bright smile on Mourinho's face, but Mourinho is really happy at this moment.

In the past, every time he played against Arsenal, he had to worry about how to restrict Lucky. Even if he found a way, it might not work.

And according to Lucky's strength in the midfield, he has the ability to retreat and provide long-distance support at any time.

There is absolutely no limit to this!

But now these are no problems.

Let other people worry about these headaches. Now his task is to maximize Lucky's strength!

"Let the forwards cooperate more. How many shots did they score in the whole game? This kind of goal conversion rate is too low."

Mourinho couldn't help but complain.

Although Lucky's performance is gratifying, the cooperation among the forwards is somewhat unacceptable.

Lukaku took 7 shots and scored 1 goal.

Aubameyang took 6 shots and scored 0 goals.

Wilshere shot 3 times and scored 0 goals.

On the other hand, Lucky shot twice and scored a goal.

In this case, the forwards must form a tacit understanding, and the front trident is very important.

"Our lineup is squeezing the frontcourt players' space!"

Arteta sighed; "We conducted a detailed analysis of the last game. Aubameyang's breakthrough requires a certain amount of space. Lukaku always wants to run out of the penalty area, which will also squeeze a certain amount of space and threaten him." The same goes for Ershier’s dribbling breakthrough!”

To put it bluntly, Arsenal's three strikers all want to be the main player!

If you want to become the core point of attack, you must have enough resources to support it. For this reason, they are always cannibalizing each other.

Mourinho also knows the seriousness of this problem.

"Start giving Mane some chances in the next game!"

Mourinho said suddenly.

Mane has been with Arsenal for nearly a year. Although he has had several opportunities to play, the effect has not been very good.

Wenger hopes that Mane can take on the responsibility of offensive breakthrough on the left wing, but Mane seems unable to do this job well.

In other words, at this stage, Mane has not yet prepared the psychological preparation to become a major breakthrough point.

Mane now still relies more on passing the ball rather than shooting alone.

"Mane plays a more functional role, and he will not squeeze other people's space in the frontcourt!" Mourinho paused and said; "As for Wilshere, let him drop back to serve as a central midfielder, which is appropriate. to carry out organizational work and help Kai share some of the pressure.”

Once facing a strong team, Lucky must always focus more on defense.

At this time, Wilshere will take over the organizational work for Lucky.

In previous Arsenal games, Wenger always gave too much work to Lucky, resulting in an unclear overall division of labor, so Arsenal always played in chaos.

Now, Mourinho plans to separate their respective tasks, which will be more conducive to the team's tactical clarity.

"The next game is against Liverpool!"

Arteta said suddenly.

Mourinho's face also became solemn.

Liverpool is definitely not an easy opponent to deal with, especially the Liverpool trained by Klopp.

After a season of accumulation, Liverpool's lineup has become extremely solid.

The combination of Salah, Firmino and Chen Man in the frontcourt has become a fortress in the frontcourt that integrates pass penetration and defense.

Firmino also began to gradually show his so-called "shield striker" ability. With the breakthroughs of Salah and Chen Man, Liverpool's offense became invincible.

In the midfield, Henderson is still extremely stable, playing extremely tough with the two sweeper-type midfielders.

The defense is the key!

The central defender combination of Van Dijk and Lovren has become a key part of Liverpool's strength. The youth training youngster Alexander-Arnold on the wing has shown extremely high defensive and offensive abilities. Apart from being occasionally dazed, his performance is very good for the young player. It's already very good.

It is very likely that Arnold will be promoted to the main player this season.

Goalkeeper Alisson is in even better shape.

It can be said that the current Liverpool team has still not completely reached its peak, but it has gradually shown its strong ability.

Inside Liverpool's training ground.

Salah, Chen Man and others gathered together.

"We're going to play Arsenal in the next game!" Chen Man grinned; "It's really disgusting. We're going to play Arsenal in the first game!"

Lovren on the side also shook his head and said: "Every time we play against Arsenal, it is difficult. Playing with them is too tiring!"

"Arsenal has strengthened this season and the game will become more difficult!"

"You have to kick even if it's difficult. Besides, it's our home court, so what are you afraid of!" Chen Man clenched his fists and grinned, saying, "It's up to me, I'll help you get past Kai!"

[By the way, it is currently the best app for reading and listening to books. Install the latest version. 】

Everyone couldn't help but look at Chen Man with a smile.

Is this a slap in the face to my national team teammates?

But it has to be said that players like Chen Man are Lucky's biggest headache.

Chen Man's speed was too great a threat to Lucai.

Once you start a little slower, don't even think about catching up.

Last season, Liverpool's victory over Arsenal at home relied on Chen Man's ability to restrain Lucai.

Squeak!

The door opened.

Henderson walked in and shouted; "Everyone, gather in the tactics room!"

Everyone got up and walked out.

Obviously, Klopp is going to plan the tactics for the opening game of the Premier League.

Arriving in the tactical room, Klopp waited for everyone to arrive, knocked on the tactical board and said: "It's still the lineup system from last season. This is also the way we are most familiar with. In the first game, we used the tactics we are best at. , open a breakthrough from the right!"

After speaking, Klopp looked at Chen and said slowly: "Chen, is it okay?"

Chen Man grinned and said, "Put it on me!"

Klopp also smiled.

Chen Man is still trustworthy. After joining Liverpool, Chen Man has grown greatly.

From a player with only speed, there has been an improvement in all aspects, and he is still in a stage of improvement.

With good ball skills and absolute speed, Chen Man has already become an invincible breakthrough weapon for Liverpool on the wing.

But there was a hint of worry in Klopp's heart.

Can we really limit Arsenal by continuing the way we played last season?

You know, Mourinho is not Wenger, this guy will definitely pay more attention to defensive work.

Moreover, Arsenal's defense has also been strengthened. It seems to be strong at present, and it can even fight alone without the midfielder.

This intensity of defense cooperates with Arsenal's defensive linkage

Klopp's heart was extremely heavy.

However, he couldn't find a good way in a short time.

Now Klopp still has some luck.

Since it worked last time, Arsenal should not be able to fully cope with it in just two months.

Moreover, after the reorganization, the running-in period has not yet ended, and Arsenal will definitely not be able to exert that kind of absolute suppression.
