Chapter 275: Boulder: Arsène Wenger, what do you want to make trouble?

The final score was fixed at 2-0 and Arsenal won the second round of the group stage. Napoli's squad this summer has changed a lot, but it has also been strengthened a lot. But without a goal-scoring efficiency Edinson Cavani, the forward line is unconvincing.

Higuain's ability is unquestionable, but there is also a new team to be familiar with, although there are also a number of Real Madrid players in the current Napoli squad.

However, in terms of front-court integration, Higuain lacks the combination of Pandev and Hamsik. However, the Argentine has worked well with Callejon, but in midfield, Benitez has always wanted to build Hamsik into the absolute core of the midfield. And now the lack of chemistry between the core of the midfield and the core of the forward line can not make him hurt, Hamsik and Cavani have worked well together, of course, Napoli also knows that they will never be able to keep a goalscorer like Cavani. Both in terms of player treatment and collective ease, and the Uruguayan striker is an ambitious man.

When it came to the post-match press conference, Arsene Wenger showed his gentlemanly demeanor. He was not stingy with his disciple's cousin, and he also affirmed his opponent's cousin, saying that Napoli is a stubborn opponent, although it has won one of the biggest qualifying competitors, it does not mean that Arsenal has qualified. Arsenal's future remains on thin ice and the team needs to move on.

And when it comes to Li Zihan's appearance, Wenger is not so generous. He said that Li Zihan's state and table xiàn are currently in the best time, but he still has a long way to go, and he can't be complacent just because he has played a few good football games. He should study harder to repay his talent.

Of course, Wenger also praised Li Zihan's efforts, saying that Li Zihan's hard training is in his eyes, this is a good boy with great talent and willing to endure hardships and train seriously

Speaking about Napoli's defeat, Benitez said that when the team is in trouble, Hamsik should be brave enough to stand up and show his core and lead the team forward.

After the end of this Champions League group stage, the whole Arsenal team was full of joy. It's kind of a six points in hand, and I feel like I'm in the Champions League.

Arsene Wenger knows it's bad luck for him, because young players are prone to complacency when they become complacent.

Sure enough, in the next day's training, the team's training tasted wrong, where was the training, but the physical education class at school.

Wenger did not immediately point out the situation and criticize his disciples, but let it go.

It's just that his assistant Boulder is full of worry, and looking at a group of giggling young lads outside the training lawn doesn't look like training at all. said to Wenger beside him: "If they go on like this, there will be problems, do you want to remind them a few words?" ”

Arsene Wenger shook his head: "No, they just won a tough game, they should enjoy it." Young people, we have to give young people some chance to make mistakes, it's not a big problem at the beginning of the season, if something goes wrong in the middle and late stages of the league then there is no cure. ”

Boulder thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "That kid Li is not bad, only he and some older players in the whole team look like they are training." ”

Looking at Li Zihan, who was sweating profusely on the field and was fighting against Merdessatt physically, Wenger also nodded with satisfaction and said: "This guy is simply incredible, how can there be young players as mature as them, if our young players are like him, will our coaching staff be reduced?" ”

Boulder pouted: "Isn't the club not short of money, why do you still want to squeeze the salary of our coaching staff?" ”

Wenger jokingly said: "Li Biao Xiàn is so good, of course, consider the salary increase in the future, you know that Arsenal's salary is limited, and the salary space saved should be used as a bonus for the players, maybe these boys will come back to the championship as soon as they are motivated." ”

Boulder didn't speak, just tilted his head to the side and ignored him.

Arsene Wenger also smiled and watched seriously at the players on the field who were not serious about training.

Li Zihan didn't show Wenger a pretending appearance, he was really training seriously. Because he knows that he is very far from other Arsenal players, most of them are very young, and they have been trained by the Arsenal system and the English football league at a very young age. As for himself, he has just arrived, and if he wants to integrate more harmoniously into this historic giant, and also want to achieve some achievements in the world's first league, he must seize a qiē time to train and study seriously.

Li Zihan didn't have time to waste valuable training extravagantly, firstly, he was not a player born in the echelon since he was a child, and secondly, he missed Arsenal's core summer training camp.

And Arsenal's players have paid the price.

In a league game two days later, Arsenal met West Bromwich Albion away. The Arsenal players are still happy because the team is not very strong this time and can only be in the middle of the league.

However, the truth was in their faces, and they slapped hard.

In this game, in order to rest the main players who participated in the Champions League before, the starting lineup was mixed with the main team and substitutes, and even the goalkeeper was replaced by Fabianski.

The poor third goalkeeper on loan, Italian Viviano, has yet to make a number of appearances in a game so far.

In this game, the Arsenal players were sleepwalking on the pitch, and the players in the front court were watched by the opponent's defense. The Arsenal side has focused too much on the most famous Anelka, and has not paid much attention to the other players in West Bromwich Albion's front.

In their opinion, the French centre-forward, who has played for giants such as Real Madrid, Chelsea and Juventus, is the most threatening. Although the other party is now thirty-four years old.

It was a 1-1 draw in the first half, with West Bromwich Albion's ninety-year-old England youngster Belasino scoring a goal. And the biggest contributor to this goal is Anelka, although it was not the French striker's assist, but Anelka's shiny bald head is like a beacon for Arsenal's huge battleship. Arsenal's artillery fire was all drawn to the French striker, but there was no defense against the young player Belasino hiding behind him.

In the end, Belasino made a sneak attack and scored a goal.

Arsenal, on the other hand, didn't score a goal until the end of the half, and Wilshere set up Cazorla's goal. The Spanish midfielder used this goal to make up for the regret of being substituted at half time in the Champions League.

And the commentator also criticized Arsenal, saying that it was not a giant at all.

At half-time, Arsene Wenger scolded his disciples. and replaced German winger Podolski, who was out of form in this game, with Oxlade-Chamberlain, and then replaced fullback Monreal with Gibbs.

One is to make an example of chickens and monkeys, and use substitutions to express their dissatisfaction. Second, it is also to give Podolski and Monreal a rest and rotation, after all, in the Champions League three days ago, these two played the full 90 minutes.

After making the substitutions, Wenger glanced at Podolski in the dressing room. Porti has been trained under Arsene Wenger for so many years, and of course he knows what the professor means by this look of Wenger.

So he didn't get angry at all about being substituted, because Wenger told him with his eyes that it was just to rest him, not really unhappy with him.

After the game, Arsenal started to concentrate and their defence was in place. The passing cooperation between teammates is not as many mistakes in the first half, and the tacit understanding has also begun to improve.

"I think Arsene Wenger should have scolded his team in the dressing room at half-time, otherwise there would be such a big difference between the Arsenal players and the two halves? It's like changing teams. ”

Although Arsenal have reinvigorated, their attacking power has not yet been achieved. After Podolski was replaced, when Li Zihan was not on the field again, it was obvious that Arsenal lacked a scoring point and a decisive person.

Chamberlain's speed is indeed fast and his ability is strong, but his talent is more evident in his organization and breakthroughs. As for the shots, he was quite a bit close. Even Walcott is a lot better than him, at least Walcoat has scored some goals last season and so far this season.

With the 70th minute of the game played, Arsene Wenger made his final substitution.

After Li Zihan warmed up, he put on armor and went into battle.

Then he was replaced not by French striker Giroud, but by his fellow French countryman, midfielder Flamini.

The veteran's appearance in this game is still very good, and now replacing him is also out of a tactical need.

Li Zihan and Flamini hugged hard, and the relationship between the two was also good. After leaving the Emirates Stadium, the French midfielder went to the San Siro Stadium in Serie A, and in Italy he clearly met Li Zihan, a talented teenager who suddenly popped up. Therefore, in the Arsenal team, the one who knows Li Zihan the most and is most optimistic about it is not the vice-captain Arteta, nor the veteran Rosicky who is Li Zihan's leader, but Flamini.

And the reason why Flamini did not go to other teams after the end of his contract with Milan and returned to the Emirates Stadium is not only for his love and loyalty to Arsenal and Wenger's persuasion, but also because of Li Zihan.

After Li Zihan came on the field, Arsenal's attack was not as sharp as people imagined, let alone open up the situation. Because Li Zihan and Giroud, who have never cooperated, don't call at all at the same time on the front line, just like Higuain and Hamsik or Pandev, there is no chemistry.

"Maybe we should have replaced Giroud with Lee, the centre-forward duo had no chemistry at all. And if Flamini is on the pitch, his sudden forward and long-range shot will still be a big threat for West Bromwich Albion. Arsene Wenger's assistant Boulder leaned over Wenger's ear and said.

Arsene Wenger said directly: "I didn't bring on Lee to bring three points back to London, as others believe. Rather, I hope that Lee can produce something in these 20 minutes of actual combat in Giroud, although our team often plays a single centre-forward tactic, but the situation on the pitch is changing rapidly, and maybe when we need to play a double or even three centre-forwards like this. The more familiar they are now, the more flexible they will be in the future. And I didn't expect Lee to become a traditional centre-forward, his physical condition was the biggest obstacle, I just wanted him to do what he was good at and liked. Giroud is just a high point of playmaking and coordination up front. ”

Boulder was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly thought of the tactics of Germany, which used to dominate the world and is now "backward".

One moment is to grab a point forward, another moment is a forward striker, another moment is a winger, another is the tactical system, and another time is let Li Zihan practice high pressing Arsèna, what do you want to make trouble?

[I didn't expect it to end up being a Madrid derby, or it was expected, but I just wanted to see Uncle Bird drive a car and collide with the Galaxy Battleship in the final]
