247 Sun Xiang's status
The next day, the team will start training intensively.
"This is the first time we have met, and I am looking forward to this meaningful work. You're all players with a great future ahead and I think we can get something out of that. 'Unai Emery arrived in Los Angeles to join the team for the first time.
"Maybe he's a really good coach." Sun Xiang said.
"It's not a denial, at least a coach who deserves to be recognized." Mustafi agrees that the Spanish coach's tactical prowess is obvious to all.
Unai Emery is a coach who loves to attack so much that he was interested in Sun Xiang on his first day on the job.
After training, Emery found Sun Xiang, and it was the first time that the two had a direct exchange.
"Sun, look for me after training." Emery said.
"Good coach."
Walking back to the training ground, Mustafi was still jokingly asking Sun Xiang if he had committed something big, and asked the new coach to target something that would only be done by a thorn.
However, it turns out that he still knows, after all, the core players of the team must be understood by the coach, and the best way to understand is to chat individually, which is also an important step in the manager's control of the dressing room.
Finding the star players in the team and building relationships is something that many managers do.
In the Premier League Team of the Year announced in May, the distribution of the 433 formation arrangement allowed Sun Xiang to appear in the left winger position, which is his main attacking position in the second half of the season, and it is also the position of the highest performance.
In addition to Sun Xiang on the front line, Liverpool's Egyptian strikers Salah and Kane were both selected. In midfield, Belgium's Eden Hazard and Kevin De Bruyne occupy half of the field, leaving the right flank to Chelsea's Willian. At the back, Marquez Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta were selected in a group of Chelsea defences, with Koscielny and Dutch centre-back Virgil van Dijk in the middle, and Thibaut Courtois in goal.
The manager is Arsene Wenger, who has just finished his 23-year career as a Gunners.
In fact, after this best lineup came out, many fans were surprised.
Obviously, Arsenal are the Premier League champions, and they should have the most players, but Chelsea dominate the list, and only Sun Xiang, Koscielny and Arsene Wenger are selected for Arsenal.
In fact, the English Football Association also has their reasons for giving this lineup.
"What Arsenal have gained this season, apart from winning the Premier League and FA Cup, is having Sun."
This quote directly illustrates why the best 11 has given Arsenal only two places. Because there are only two things for them this season. One is Arsenal and the other is Sun Xiang.
As the backbone of the team, he has half of Arsenal's attacking power, and at the age of 19, he instantly thinks of Mbappe in the 2017 season. But he also said personally that Sun Xiang can be more successful than Mbappe.

"Coach, what are you looking for me?"
After the training, Sun Xiang came to Emery's house.
"Oh sun, you're here! It's an honor to be your coach. ”
Suddenly flattered, Emery gave Sun Xiang a big hug.
"Uh... Coach, you're welcome. ”
'I like young and talented players and you're the most special.
"Thank you for your review."
"No, it's true." Emery continued, "There are only two things that called you here today. One thing is to get to know you about the team, it's necessary. ”
"One more thing...."Emery said as he stood up and pulled a gadget out of his suitcase.
"Here's for you, our captain."
It was an Arsenal merchandise, a captain's armband with the Arsenal logo, which was worn in Arsenal's subordinate echelons.
"Coach, this ....."
'I know the captain's armband in the Premier League is self-contained, but you know, it's a ritual and I'm going to show you where you stand in my hands next season. Only you know about it, so you need to keep it a secret. At least keep it a secret until the training warm-up game. Okay, let's talk about the rest of the team..... "Without giving Sun Xiang time to ask questions, Emery jumped straight to the next topic.

In the blink of an eye, ten days have passed since the training camp, and after the physical reserve work is over, the team has started relevant tactical drills. After a couple of intra-squad matches, Unai Emery also has a rough idea of how he plans to play next season.
On day 11, the 35-year-old arrived at Unai Emery's Arsenal on a free transfer with Swiss international Lichtsteiner, a 35-year-old centre-back who joined Unai Emery's Arsenal on a free basis after ending his contract with Juventus.
Lichtsteiner, who has always been known for his diligence, is known for his ability to run and has the reputation of "Forrest Gump in Switzerland". At the same time, as a right wing-back and as a right winger, he played very well.
'It's a great moment and it's important for me to leave Juventus and come to Arsenal. It's going to be a big challenge to do something great with this great club. ”
'The Arsenal project appeals to me and it's about getting back into the Champions League for Arsenal at the moment. I think it's hard to imagine seeing a club like Arsenal without Champions League play. If you look at the players here, look at this club, look at this stadium... It's important to get back to the highest level of competition. ”
When asked how he felt when he first joined the team, the Swiss replied.
At the same time, for Emery, Lichtsteiner is also full of praise.
'Unai Emery is a good coach, he's won a lot of trophies, especially the Europa League, and we're going to play in the Europa League the next year. Unai Emery is a coach who knows what he wants and he will help players improve, even if it's a veteran like me. We don't stop learning, and that's very important. I am very happy with our cooperation. ”
However, some Gunners fans are not optimistic about this recruitment.
The first is because of Lichtsteiner's age, 35-year-old plus 33-year-old Monreal, 34-year-old Koscielny and 27-year-old Mustafi, this 129-year-old back line can be said to be "outstanding". The other point is that as a right wing-back, he will clash with Bellerin's position, which will be a bit of a disagreement with the team's usual style.
However, this is also a recruitment from the head coach, and the hand-picked master must have Emery's own ideas, at least the tactical map for next season has a rough idea in his mind.
In addition, the team's former Spanish midfielder Cazorla, after ending his contract with the Gunners, recently announced that he would join his hometown team Villarreal, and the Yellow Submarine once again welcomed its old player.
