Chapter 244: First training session to Arsenal

A year ago, they didn't know who Li Zihan was, and then suddenly Li Zihan came out of nowhere, and Zuihou swept across the Apennines and even the entire continent of Europa was affected. Most of them, a group of talented players who became famous at a young age, are still working hard, but Li Zihan easily won a top league championship in his first debut season. And as a main player, not a bench player or a reserve player who plays soy sauce.

As for Walcott, Ramsey, Oxlade-Chamberlain and others, they have never touched the league title, even a League Cup title

Li Zihan's personality is actually not as introverted as it seems on the outside, maybe some of his movements and expressions will make people misunderstand that he is an introvert, non-talkative, and difficult to deal with. But in fact he is a very easy player to deal with, as you can tell from the fact that he often jokes with fans he doesn't know.

Li Zihan thought about it, since people don't care about themselves, then they will take the initiative to take care of others.

Then I went with Rosicky to the circle where the other players chatted, and at this time the training day had not yet started, so the players chatted together on the training ground. When he saw Li Zihan taking the initiative to walk towards their group, the group of people who were talking and laughing just now immediately quieted down.

This made Li Zihan a little embarrassed, and he originally planned to slowly approach them and listen to their chat. Then insert two sentences yourself, and zuihou will be able to get familiar with it slowly. How do you know that when he came, everyone stopped talking.

Arsene Wenger watched the scene from the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office, and of course he knew that the players did not show welcome and enthusiasm for Li Zihan's arrival. But he didn't intend to interfere, he knew it was something that every player had to learn and face. If you can't take the initiative to integrate into the general environment of a team, then you will definitely encounter obstacles in the future. At the very least, these players don't necessarily work with you.

Li Zihan touched his nose and said with a smile: "Hello, I'm new." My name is Li, Li Zihan. Coming from China, I just transferred from Serie A Juventus, so please give me a lot of advice in the future. ”

Seeing that Li Zihan was so polite, Arsenal's players were not easy to show their faces to others, so they came forward to introduce themselves to Li Zihan's joining.

After everyone introduced themselves to each other, Li Zihan said: "By the way, I have always had a little doubt about something, you have been at Arsenal for so long, please help me solve my doubts." ”

The Arsenal players were visibly stunned, with Zuihou Wilshere saying: "No problem, it's what we should do to help the newcomers. Tell me what's the problem? ”

Li Zihan continued: "You see, when I was at Juventus before, the chairman was the boss of Fiat. Generally, Haode players will give away a Fiat car or buy a Fiat car for half price. Will that send a cannon at Arsenal? ”

Wilshere: ""

Walcott: ""

Ramsey, Rosicky, Chamberlain: ""

Seeing that Li Zihan quickly talked and laughed with the other players in the team, Wenger breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there is a haode, many of the rest will be easy to follow, and as for Bendtner, Wenger has received a request from Danish Premier League giants Copenhagen to buy Bendtner.

Arsene Wenger took a sip of the steaming coffee in his hand and said, "Steve, it seems that our lads are getting along well." Let's go, today's training is about to begin. ”

Sitting on the sofa behind Arsene Wenger, after the retirement of the famous Arsenal Meritorious Coach Declan Rice last year, Steve Boulder, one of Arsenal's legendary "five veterans at the back" and former head coach of Arsenal's Under-18 youth team, took over.

Boulder put away the notebook he was taking notes, shrugged and said, "The atmosphere in the team is a good start, but our new lad is really not very good. ”

Wenger put down the coffee cup and said disapprerovitically: "There is no absolutely perfect player on Shijie, so there is the existence of our profession of coaching." If most of the players have no shortcomings, then I guess the colleagues in the coaching staff will have to consider going to the restaurant to wash the dishes. ”

Boulder looked at Wenger in disbelief, wondering why this workaholic had such a sense of humor

Training at Arsenal began, with Arsene Wenger not doing in-team drills. Instead, more training time was spent on team run-in and ball passing, and for Li Zihan, Wenger asked Neil Banfield, one of the two fitness coaches, to follow Li Zihan "closely", in order to strengthen his body. Whether it is physical confrontation or physical strength, Li Zihan, who has just arrived in the Premier League, needs to be strengthened.

In terms of cooperation within the team, the newly joined Li Zihan gradually revealed problems. Because they are not familiar with each other, it is difficult for teammates' balls to pass to his feet, and Li Zihan's passes often make mistakes and fail to find teammates.

In another offensive run, Walcott broke through the touchline and then shifted. One kick sent the ball to Li Zihan's position in the middle, but Li Zihan thought that Walcott would continue to break through, so he did not stop and burst into the penalty area by himself. Walcott's pass swept behind Li Zihan and flew out of bounds, and the little tiger looked at Li Zihan depressedly. And Li Zihan made an apologetic gesture.

A few minutes later, Li Zihan handed the ball to Flamini, who was inserted, and then ran forward to open space.

Flamini has played in Milan, so he knows a little more about Li Zihan than the rest of Arsenal's players. And the twenty-nine-year-old is also experienced, and when he saw Li Zihan running out of the vacancy, he thought of the small cooperation that the other party often did with Vidal or Pogba at Juventus.

didn't ink at the moment, and directly knocked the ball back to Li Zihan. Although Flamini was more familiar with Li Zihan, he didn't cooperate much. In order to prevent the scene where Walket and Li Zihan cooperated just now, Flamini sent the ball in front of Li Zihan, a little far away from Li Zihan.

Flamini doesn't know how to make Li Zihan receive the ball comfortably, but aren't you Li Zihan fast? Then I'll just send it away, and you can run quickly to pick it up.

Flamini's choice was really the right one, and Li Zihan instantly launched and quickly received the pass.

But in the back, there are problems with coordination again.

Li Zihan dribbled the ball into the pull-side penalty area, and then swept to the middle of the triangle.

However, there was no teammate in that position to outflank him, because Li Zihan made a hard rush to force a shot before passing the ball. And this feint is a bit realistic, and it has successfully deceived all teammates. Wilshere, who was supposed to be in this position, thought that Li Zihan was going to shoot, because Li Zihan's flexibility was estimated to be able to shake off the opposing defender. So he didn't step forward and answer Li Zihan.

And Li Zihan's pass with this good idea was easily cleared by the opposing defender, which scared goalkeeper Viviano into a cold sweat, because he also thought that Li Zihan was going to force a kick, so he didn't notice the middle, if this ball Wilshire came up to outflank it in place, even if Ramsey inserted a kick, the probability of scoring is very high.

Wilshere shrugged innocently and said sorry to Li Zihan, but Li Zihan shook his head indifferently.

Now Li Zihan has realized the pain of his teammates not being able to understand his thoughts, and he may not be able to think of his teammates' thoughts. Accustomed to smooth sailing at Juventus, I felt a little powerless in a small training session at Arsenal.

If Vidal or Pogba had the ball just now, it would have been inserted. No matter what they did over there, even if they really forced a shot, the two of them would definitely plug in.

Viviano patted Li Zihan on the shoulder with gloves and said in Italian: "The feint just now was very beautiful and deceived everyone." And when you were at Juventus, you usually came the ball by yourself, why did you choose to pass the ball today? Medsat's speed and reflexes don't affect you at all. ”

Li Zihan knows Viviano as the goalkeeper, and the 27-year-old Italy is the "old fritter" of Serie A. He came through the prestigious Brescia academy and played for Cesena, Inter Milan, Palermo and Bologna. He was loaned to Fiorentina by Palermo last season, and Li Zihan also played against him. And this season's Palermo was relegated, and he chose to go on loan to Arsenal because he didn't want to play in Serie B.

Li Zihan also said in Italian: "The chance of passing the ball just now is greater, and I'm not a newcomer, so I always have to cooperate more with other teams, so that it will be faster to get acquainted." ”

Viviano nodded understandingly.

In order to show his friendliness, Medessat came up and said, "You were really fast just now, and your balance is good. I felt like I was playing against a loach when I was defending you, oh sorry, I didn't mean anything else, just that you were fast, and it felt like you were faster than Walcott. ”

Merdessat, who has been playing for Arsenal for two seasons, has no problem communicating in English, but the accent is still a bit weird. And worried that Li Zihan had just arrived and had not yet known the names of his teammates, so Merdesart did not call Theo, but called Walcott the surname.

Li Zihan said to Medsat in standard German: "Speed is my strength, especially against your German central defenders. Well, I'm not disrespecting your German central defenders, but in fact, the German defenders are one of the best defenders in Shijie. ”

Li Zihan felt a little headache, because he was not familiar with these players of Arsenal, so he was afraid that the other party would not fully understand what he meant, so he still needed to explain it deliberately, so as not to misunderstand it.

Swollen changed the environment, it felt like a shijie, Li Zihan shouted wildly in his heart.
