Chapter 39: Substitutions
The run on Xiang Hao is just a small episode in training, with the arrival of the game against Fulham, Arsenal's training has begun to become busy again, not only Xiang Hao often trains late, but even the self-confidence that has always been more lazy has begun to become positive.
This kid doesn't have a lot of heart, but seeing that Adebayo has been in the team recently, he is not a person inside and outside the team, so he naturally trains desperately to win the coaching staff's favor with him.
It's a pity that after the starting list of the game came out, Confident Ben still couldn't steal Adebayo's start, and was still a substitute.
Forwards: Bam Adebayo, Robin van Persie.
"Boss, how can this be, sub?" Confidently looked at Xiang Hao incomprehensibly and asked in a low voice.
Confidence is not because he is suspicious of his substitute, anyway, he is used to it, but for Xiang Hao.
In the away game against Fulham, Arsene Wenger strangely removed Xiang Hao from the starting line-up and replaced him with Denilson.
This arrangement can be said to be without warning, because Xiang Hao does not have any injuries, and he is the hardest working person in training.
It is also impossible that Wenger is personally dissatisfied with Xiang Hao, because in the past few days of training, the most frequent words in his mouth are "Give the ball to Hao." "Run, so Hao can find you." "Watch out for Hao's pass."
It is not possible to adjust and rotate the lineup, and Wenger has almost made it clear that Xiang \ 1 \ Ben \ Read \ novel xstxt Hao will be the absolute main position in the new season.
In the absence of Cesc Fabregas, Wenger regarded Xiang Hao as the core in terms of tactical arrangement and on-the-spot explanation.
Such players will not be replaced except because of injuries or physical needs.
This is just the second game of the game, Xiang Hao can't be tired, and he is not injured.
It can be said that except for Wenger and Rice, no one understands why Xiang Hao was suddenly removed.
"I don't know, maybe the old man has some arrangements."
No matter how puzzled Xiang Hao was, Adebayo's self-righteous mistake, he would not make it, shook his head at Bendtner, and stood on the spot, without any chagrin and disappointment, but quite open.
On the contrary, Denilson, who was completely unprepared, heard that his name was also on it when Wenger announced the starting list, and he couldn't close his mouth with joy, and he was eager to make small movements, a little uncontrollable.
After all, before the start of this season, the most promising starter was Denilson, and even Wenger said in an interview with the official website that he would give Denelson a chance, otherwise he would not have behaved so gaffely when Xiang Hao came out.
After watching Xiang Hao's two amazing performances, Denilson thought that he was going to spend another season on the bench, who knew that Wenger gave him a chance to perform in the second league game.
How could he not be excited, and he was secretly determined in his heart.
Rice, who was always paying attention to Xiang Hao, nodded secretly when he saw Xiang Hao's appearance of being as peaceful as a mountain, and then said to the team members: "Okay, bring all your equipment, we are about to set off." ”
"Gone." "Wait for me." "I haven't taken my stuff yet." …
Les got on the bus first with a large group of hairy boys.
"Hehe, Hao, let's go together."
Wenger deliberately left Xiang Hao at the end, looking at Xiang Hao who didn't speak, just looked at himself innocently, some children looked like children, couldn't help laughing, and asked jokingly, "How is it, do you have any thoughts in your heart?" ”
Seeing Xiang Hao's sneering, Wenger patted him on the shoulder and said, "Although this game is sitting on the sidelines, I have a task for you." …”
Walking slowly, Wenger began to tell Xiang Hao and communicate his arrangement for him.
As he spoke, Arsene Wenger's face always had that gentle smile on his face.
It can be seen that Wenger is very satisfied with Xiang Hao.
Although it was only more than 20 days, Wenger could see that Xiang Hao's intention to let him watch the videos of those famous games was very thorough and he learned quickly.
It can be said that Xiang Hao has an excellent understanding of Wenger's requirements for him, and has also found Wenger's positioning for his new season.
Through effective running and timely balling, unconsciously, Arsenal's ball possession has been concentrated at Xiang Hao's feet, and the output is also very timely, and he has roughly been able to form a ball point in the backfield, completing Wenger's initial requirements for him.
In order to be able to give full play to Xiang Hao's talent on the offensive end, Wenger deliberately moved the attack launch point back.
In this way, although Xiang Hao mostly stays in the backfield, he can make him condescending, and he is just at the end of the opponent's defense, remotely controlling the entire Arsenal offensive system, and becoming the hub of both offense and defense.
That's why Arsene Wenger asked Xiang Hao to watch the video footage of those games, and those people are all excellent midfielders, whether they are attacking or defending, they have their own unique characteristics.
Several of these German midfielders are liberos, especially Beckenbauer, Summer, Schuster and others, who can not only do their job defensively.
Offensively, they can also be the heart of the team and become the king of the football world.
This is also the solution that Wenger wants to solve Xiang Hao and Fabregas, so that Xiang Hao and Fabregas become the dual core on the field, one is mainly in the front, and the other is the offensive and defensive hub in the backfield.
It's just that whether this idea can succeed or not, Wenger doesn't know yet, because Fabregas is still recovering from an injury, but a core is driving.
What Wenger has to do now is to let Xiang Hao, a single core, be completely integrated into the team.
And this, not only does Xiang Hao need to have a quick identification of the opponent's defense and offensive system on the field, but also Xiang Hao needs to see the personal defensive habits and offensive characteristics of his teammates more clearly.
In this game, Wenger put Xiang Hao on the bench for this game, which is the reason.
"I see, teacher, thank you." After listening to Wenger's request for himself, Xiang Hao nodded and solemnly thanked the old man.
It was his luck to meet a coach who valued him so much, and Xiang Hao felt that he had been waiting for ten years in the Arsenal academy, and it was not in vain.
Wenger brought so many disciples out, so he could naturally see that Xiang Hao was genuinely grateful to himself, and he couldn't help but feel a little comforted in his heart.
Looking at Xiang Hao's solemn face, Wenger seemed to see many similar but very different figures, and couldn't help laughing out loud with relief, "Hehe, okay, you kid can make less trouble for me." All you have to do now is calm down and prove it to me on the pitch, to show everybody, including yourself, to prove your talent, to show them who you are. ”
After two fights with Adebayo, especially the second design of the other party, Wenger knew that this kid might not be able to live in peace in the future.
At the same time, Wenger still did not forget to wake up his disciple a few words to ignite his fighting spirit.
Seeing Xiang Hao's somewhat excited face, Wenger stopped putting pressure on him and nodded, "Let's go, they're all in a hurry." ”
As he spoke, Wenger couldn't help but take a step and rushed towards the bus with a bang.
It can be seen that the appearance of Xiang Hao has brought Wenger out of the off-season 'abandonment' by his disciples.
A newcomer who has been dug up by himself, a young man who is worth persevering with himself.

"Shhh
"Go back to your North London."
"Get out of here, and you'll be torn apart by us."
"Trash, this will be your grave."
…
On the first home of the new season, fans of either team are not to be messed with.
Although Fulham and Chelsea have the greatest hatred, they are in the same area of London as Arsenal, and this game is definitely a derby.
When the Arsenal bus pulled into the Craven Farm stadium, they were greeted by loud boos and shouts of defiance.
"Whew"
watched these British men give the middle finger and dance their fists at themselves and their teammates, provoking themselves and putting pressure on themselves.
Xiang Hao said with emotion, "This group of guys is really crazy." ”
"Hehe, Hao, the fans don't pay the same attention to the first team and the reserve team, so you have to adapt to this away atmosphere."
Walcott explained loudly to Xiang Hao.
He had to be loud because the aisles leading into the stadium were lined with shouting Fulham fans.
Bendtner said a few words in Xiang Hao's ear, "Boss, you haven't been to Tottenham's home stadium yet, that group of talents is going to kill us, this is nothing." ”
Standing upright, it seems that he has to step forward, and if there is no one around, he is worthy of self-confidence.
"Huh, it's arrogant enough, this group of people is giving us a horse, deliberately putting pressure on us, this game doesn't seem to be easy to play."
Van Persie followed behind them, and when he saw this scene, his face unconsciously showed a solemnity.
He has played so many games, and his experience is naturally not comparable to that of Confident Ben and others, and he faintly smells an unusual meaning.
"Arthur, I'm afraid Fulham is going to score points against us in this game."
Fulham deliberately did not allow Arsenal buses to enter the stadium, allowing the Arsenal players to experience the 'baptism' of the fans. Van Persie could see this trick, and Rice could naturally see it, and his originally smiling and peaceful face became solemn.
If Fulham really want to beat their own team, this game for Arsenal is really not good.
Crucially, Arsenal's midfield is brand new, none of them were the main players of last season, and Rice's concerns are not unfounded.
Arsene Wenger's face fell into silence, and his brow furrowed.
Fulham is a team in the middle and upper reaches, not comparable to West Bromwich Albion's promoted horse, and there are no weak teams in the Premier League, which is by no means a kind word.
However, if it's not easy to fight, you have to fight, "Don't worry, although a few of them are not geniuses like Hao, however, there should be no problem." ”
Wenger is also confident that in this game, he arranged his own lineup, which was the main player who played when he did not tap Xiang Hao before the new season, and his strength was naturally not given in vain.
Starting XI: 1 - Almunia; 3-Sagna, 5-Toure, 10-Gallas, 22-Klich; 27-Ebo, 8-Nasri, 15-Denilson, 14-Walcott; 25-Adebayor, 11-Van Persie
Eleven men, all of whom are players with high hopes for Arsene Wenger's new season.
