114 pre-season warm-up matches

"Wow~"

The scene in the house made Wang Jing couldn't help but exclaim.

European-style décor, creamy white floors, and a large wool rug in the center of the living room. The furniture is also mainly white, and the whole house looks very bright.

"The second floor, I guess it's about the same as the first floor."

"Is the second floor a bedroom?"

"Well, two bedrooms, and a gym."

"Two bedrooms? Could it be...," Wang Jinghu said suspiciously.

Sun Xiang hurriedly waved his hand: "It's just that because of the layout, I don't know what to do, so I got two rooms." ”

Hearing this answer, Wang Jing nodded.

"And I'm going to France in a few days."

"France?"

"That's right, the team training camp, it is estimated that it will take a month."

"That's it..."Wang Jing felt a sense of loss in her heart, "and then when you come back, will you start the game?" ”

It was almost August when she came back from the training camp, and the first Community Shield game was on the 12th, so she should have a few more days to accompany her.

"There should be a few days off when you come back, and I can come and accompany you if you have nothing to do at school." Sun Xiang said.

Wang Jing sighed secretly, "That's good....."

On July 1st, in the hazy morning light of North London, the players of the Arsenal Club boarded a flight to Paris, France.

The Clairefontaine base in Paris, France is internationally recognized as one of the perfect training bases, with sophisticated equipment, professional-grade turf and comfortable accommodation, clubs and even national teams from many European countries will come here thousands of miles away.

If Arsenal hadn't booked the room and venue in advance, it was likely that the room would not be used. After all, the World Cup is approaching, and many teams are like Arsenal and have begun to train in advance.

As soon as they got off the plane, the Arsenal squad was sought after by the French fans, who waited outside early and started flashing their mobile phones as soon as they saw the players appear.

If you want to talk about who is the most attractive fans in the team at the moment, it is Cazorla and Wilshere, and the French central defender Debich is also currently discussing the departure, and the 32-year-old has lost his place at Arsenal and therefore does not appear in the list for this training camp.

Of course, Sun Xiang, who has joined the team, also has many fans.

After finally leaving the airport, a team of people took the local bus to the training base non-stop.

For seven consecutive days, the players did not take half a step out of the training base, and they have been led by physical coaches to conduct cardiopulmonary and physical strength training.

The high-intensity training made the players feel a little uncomfortable, and Sun Xiang had even vomited two or three times.

So for the sake of the players' hard work, the club decided to give them a day off, which can be regarded as a compliment to their time.

Sun Xiang is really not familiar with this place in France, but fortunately, there are many young players in the reserve team who are from France, and it is reassuring to have them as tour guides.

After a short break, the team began the last 7 days of devil training. However, this "devil" is for Sun Xiang, and he has decisively vomited several times in the past 7 days.

Every time he vomited, he made a deficiency in his body, and even sweated profusely once, and that time the team doctor found out and urgently stopped Sun Xiang's training, and let him go back to rest for a day and a half, mainly because of metabolic problems caused by overload.

But finally, this devil's day is finally coming to an end, and the whole team watched the World Cup final together on July 15.

This World Cup can be said to be an upset.

Hosts Russia did not qualify; Iceland qualified from the Group of Death; "Peerless Double Pride" stopped in the semi-finals together; In the semi-finals, Germany won a hard-fought extra-time victory over Spain.

Therefore, the final between France and Germany is in the spotlight.

The two sides battled fiercely for 90 minutes without achieving anything, until the 113th minute of extra time, substitute Gotze received a cross from the left of Gundogan and stopped on his chest, volleyed the ball past the French goalkeeper Lloris and flew into the back of the net.

It was with this goal that the German team defended the World Cup and became the second country to shine with five stars.

At this point, the 2018 World Cup in Russia has also come to an end, and the players of each national team have returned to their respective teams for the final season preparations.

Mesut Ozil, Olivier Giroud, Aaron Ramsey and others also travelled to Paris to join the squad.

On July 17th, once all the players had arrived, the team began to work on the construction of a new tactic. Prior to this, Sun Xiang also met with the team's big brothers one by one, and everyone was very friendly to this new Chinese kid with the same ending, and Giroula Cazeette even invited Sun Xiang to have a meal after training as a landlord, and everyone began to get acquainted with each other, and the relationship gradually improved.

This made Wenger very pleased, and he was still worried that because there were many people in the team with a smaller annual salary than Sun Xiang, Sun Xiang would be jealous. But at the moment, it seems that this idea is just a fantasy.

After a week of drills, one of the tactical exercises was almost in place, and it was only a matter of time before the remaining two were left, and the team desperately needed a warm-up game to test the power of the first one.

Serie A powerhouse AC Milan's results last season were not very good, the Europa League failed to reach the semi-finals, and the league results were also worrying, although the introduction of Andre Silva, Calhanoglu and other strong players but still a bit like an off-line kite.

So they are going to do a big job this season and they are well prepared in the transfer market.

The location of this year's training camp was also chosen in the beautiful metropolis of Paris, which is in the same area as Arsenal.

So the two sides gathered together and had a warm-up match in the middle of the training camp.

At noon on July 24, the pre-season warm-up match between Arsenal and AC Milan kicked off at the Clairefontaine base.

AC Milan has not changed much from last season, so it is still the same team. goalkeeper Donnarumma, defenders from left to right are Calabria, Bonucci, Romagnoli and Ronaldo; The midfield line is Kessie, Biglia, Bonaventura; Three strikers Suso, Cutrone and Calhanoglu.

Arsenal's changes this season are a bit big, and a central axis has basically been adjusted. goalkeeper Petr Cech; defenders Koscielny, Mustafi, Holding; Midfielders are Bellerin, Xhaka, Wilshere and Niles; Up front was Mesut Ozil and Son Xiang, with Frenchman Olivier Giroud playing as the lone arrow.

Giroud didn't have as many appearances last season as his countryman Alexandre Lacazette. So this warm-up game Arsene Wenger also gave the favorite plenty of opportunities, and Giroud himself was ready to fight back into his starting position.
