Chapter 449: The Beginning
In fact, many times, He Xu felt that he had just had a long, long dream. From time to time, he even suspects that when he suddenly opens his eyes one day, he is still lying in the mansion that his family once bought in Beijing, and he is still the son of He Jin and Lin Xiu, an internationally renowned star, a star who makes movies.
After all, from the crossing to the events after the crossing, He Xu often has a sense of unreality. And this feeling before seems to have never been so strong as it is today. As the team's captain, he was given a special invitation to attend today's unveiling ceremony and will join Arsene Wenger in handing out new shirts to his new team-mates.
When He Xu took the red and white No. 80 jersey handed to him by Wenger, he also saw Xiao Luo winking playfully at him. In fact, this kind of display of the shirt should be done by the team's manager and senior officials, but it seems that Wenger trusts his captain and gives him a lot of authority. As the manager, Arsene Wenger just watched He Xu hand over the jerseys to their new signings at this time, and then smiled at the camera.
At this time, the reporters who were fortunate enough to appear at the press conference were all talking about it, and they couldn't think of what made Arsenal turn into a phoenix in an off-season and complete such a gorgeous transformation, and their current lineup...... Among the reporters, there are fans such as Chelsea or Manchester City, looking at the lineup of the sworn enemies they have been suppressed, and thinking about the teams they support, they suddenly feel that their throats are a little dry......
When several players took their jerseys and made their debuts, He Xu's task today was completed. Just when he was about to go to the locker room to relax. Xiao Luo suddenly stopped him from behind, and he still had that trademark smile on his face. He Xu joked: "Captain! In the future, please help me a lot, this newcomer! Hey, after all, it's still a newcomer! A lot of things inexperienced! In the future, please take care of me......"
He Xu just laughed at Xiao Luo's joke, "The first article of the team rules is announced below, players are not allowed to go home at night five days before and five days after the game!" Players are not allowed to stay in nightclubs excessively, this is the first rule, you just need to remember it first! β
Ronaldo rolled his eyes at him and took the football from the team's staff. Went in to meet the fans. He Xu touched his nose, "Ignoring the captain on the first day of joining the team, what a player with character!" β
When all the rituals were over, He Xu could finally go home and rest. Although today was only attended to an event. But for He Xu, who attended the event in his previous life to the point of disgust. It's not as easy as letting him play a game.
Arsene Wenger sat in his office. I looked at the team's current squad. Maybe just now, I'm going to face the sweet burden of who I should bring to the eighteen-man roster. Compared to before, all of them were young people, but now they have changed to a group of stars. It's still hard for me to choose! Maybe I should take a closer look at the big list, and I guess my compatriots are almost there, too? If it had been two days earlier, he would have been in time for today's feast.
The next day, the team started their first training session before the new season, and it can be seen that after an off-season toss, the fame and overall quality of Arsenal's players seem to have risen a lot compared to before the World Cup.
Arsene Wenger, the team's meritorious manager, has been very direct with his nephews that French full-back De Bich will be arriving in a few days' time to join the team. At that time, Tang Lintian hid his face behind He Xu and muttered to him, "I bet Arsena must be crazy!" With such a big change in the lineup, can we stand it? β
He Xu deliberately leaned back and sandwiched Tang Lintian's head with his back and the locker behind him. He smiled evilly and said, "I think it's good!" It's better than if you look at it, the team is all a group of people who are not as strong as you, right? Tang Lintian slapped He Xu's shoulder with his hand, and his voice was muffled and asked He Xu to hurry up for him.
Wenger seemed to notice the small movements of the two men, only to see him reach out and touch his chin, and then said: "Judging from the current situation! Our lineup seems to be a lot stronger! Therefore, for your playing time, everyone must be mentally prepared, and I will make appropriate arrangements according to everyone's competitive state and physical condition. Hopefully, from this season onwards, we can not only win championships and stuff like that, but also make sure the players are healthy! At present, many injury-prone players have severed their relationship with Arsenal in the form of transfers, but this does not seem to be a bad thing! Isn't it? All right! Cheer up! Soon you'll find this to be a wonderful and unforgettable season, lads! Let's go training! β
Wenger said the last few words aloud as he reached out and pushed his players out of the dressing room like a chicken.
The first day of training was just an adaptation to the recovery, after all, after such a summer, it is difficult to ensure that the players are in good physical condition, except for the likes of Ramsey and Lars. Bender didn't play in the World Cup at all.
With the arrival of Debichy, the No. 13 shirt that has not been owned in the team has also been settled. Arsene Wenger looked at his squad with satisfaction, wondering what kind of starting XI should be lined up for the opening game against Sunderland. However, the formation can still be determined, and it is still "3-5-2".
Looking at the team list in his hand, Wenger couldn't help but laugh out loud. With many players leaving, some of the younger players are finally getting their favourite jersey numbers.
No. 1 Mariano. Arini; No. 2 Leroy. Phil; No. 3 De Vrij; No. 4 Jack. Wilshere; No. 5 Chen Boyan; No. 6 Koscielny; No. 7 Garrincha; No. 8 Massimo. Charlie; Captain No. 9 He Xu; No. 10 is Tang Lintian, who officially took over the position of vice captain after Vermaelen left the team; No. 11 is naturally the "little rocket" Reuss; No. 12 Lars. Bend; 13 Debich; No. 14 Walcott; No. 15 is the new signing defender Godin; No. 16 Aaron. Ramsey; No. 17 Mertesacker; No. 18 Chamberlain; No. 19 belongs to young defender Chambers; The number 20 is Bojan. Kirkic's new number; After arriving at the team, Ba Shen, who behaved very normally, still wore No. 45; Of course, there is another thing that must not be overlooked, Ronaldo once again wore the number 80 shirt he wore when he was in Milan.
Looking at the list with satisfaction, Wenger's starting point has gradually shown its prototype, and I will test it tomorrow, presumably such a formation must have a high attack efficiency.
The next day, the players whose names he had named were the first to stand on the side, and it looked like they were supposed to be future starters. For such a platoon, those players who may have become substitutes in the first game are unwilling, but they also agree with this arrangement, after all, no one of them thinks that they are better than Royce or Xiao Luo and Tang Lintian.
Of course, there will naturally be no Ba God among these people. He said to Arsene Wenger very harshly: "ArsΓ¨na, why can't I start, but what kind of substitute can I do? β
Arsene Wenger was a little surprised by Balotelli's bluntness, but apparently, it seems that surprise is not as appropriate as the club's surprise.
Wenger cleared his throat and said in a matter-of-fact manner: "Of course you can be the capital!" Mario, but, at the moment, in my opinion, you're not that strong! Of course, trust me. You're going to get a chance to prove yourself, and I'm giving every player an equal chance, it's just a small ...... Trials! Soon, you'll have the chance to put on a real show in front of the fans across the Emirates Stadium! β
Balotelli didn't seem to have listened much to Wenger, but at least he understood what Wenger meant, so he could only reluctantly follow Bojan to the bench. There are Walcott, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Godin, Ramsey and Bender in that team, and it seems that the strength is about the same.
Wenger waved his hand, "That's it! Let's start training in groups! It's a season we've been looking forward to, and now it's officially begun! Those previous restorative training and warm-up words! I think it would be nice to have those as appetizers before dinner! β
At Arsene Wenger's request, the players began training. It looks like Arsene Wenger's signings have been successful, and the players are clearly running in better than any media predicted......
In the warm-up matches that followed, they beat a variety of opponents, from the Championship and even League Two, to strong teams like Paris Saint-Germain.
Looking at Ozil, who was still playing like a fish in water in Paris, He Xu suddenly realized that his crossing had actually caused a lot of huge changes! Otherwise, shouldn't Mesut Ozil be at Arsenal now?
Thinking about it carefully, whether it is Xia Ou's situation or Royce's position, it seems that there has been a lot of change from before he crossed over, and it seems that I have unconsciously changed history! So since all of this has led to so many changes, how can I not take advantage of this opportunity to start a new era?
Maybe such a great plan should start with the current season...... (To be continued......)
