London, light rain.

The car was driving on the road leading to the Arsenal club, looking at the scenery outside the window, Giroud's eyes were a little confused, and he saw the expression on his face through the rearview mirror, and the old Donnie holding the steering wheel smiled: "Are you nervous?" ”

'It's a little bit, I feel like I'm in a dream, one second Gignon FC is brought to Arsenal by Mr Arsene Wenger. From the youth echelon of Ligue C to the Premier League, oh, uncle, am I really not dreaming? Or did Mr Wenger actually find a talented player with the same name and surname as me, and finally got it wrong?! ”

"No, no, Giroud, you have to believe in yourself! You can be named by Mr. Wenger to come to Arsenal in person, there is definitely something special about you! It's just that the coaches in the lower leagues didn't discover Ling's talent! ”

"Yes"

"No, but! Giroud, you're eighteen! You should learn to believe in yourself like a decent man, because you have no choice but to believe in yourself! ”

Old Donny's words hit Giroud like a hammer in his heart, and he closed his eyes and breathed heavily, then slowly became calmer, and the apprehension gradually dissipated. Yes, I can only believe in myself, and I have to believe in myself!

Thinking about it, Giroud's eyes gradually became resolute.

The sedan turned two corners and quickly pulled into the Arsenal Club parking lot, looking out the window at the staff walking around, Giroud pushed the door to the trunk to pick up his luggage, just then a Mercedes SUV pulled up next to it. Under his gaze, a handsome man in jeans, a white shirt, and sunglasses pushed out of the passenger door, and then walked to the trunk with an Asian girl with a very delicate face and a long summer dress.

I couldn't understand what the other person was saying, but when I saw the side of the other person's face, Giroud's pupils shrank.

"He is. Chen Mo! ”

Feeling the gaze from beside him, Chen Mo looked sideways and saw a tall man bending down to pick up his luggage while looking at him.

"He's Giroud as Wenger was talking about?"

Chen Mo was slightly stunned, and then stretched out his hand with a smile: "Hello, love Ai Mu Chen Mo." ”

I didn't expect a top genius like Chen Mo to be so kind, Giroud was also slightly stunned, and immediately stretched out his hand, saying stumbling English in his mouth: "Hello, I'm Giroud, Olivier Giroud, I'm very happy to meet you, oh!" Hurt! I was a little excited, forgetting the back cover of the car above my head, and Giroud, who is 1.93 meters tall, slammed his head.

"Be careful, man, you're too big."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"Haha, why do you apologize to me for this kind of thing."

Giroud's honest appearance made Chen Mo laugh, and Yuechi Kaoru next to him also smiled at the corner of his mouth, and looked at Chen Mo: "Na, I'll leave first if there's nothing to do, and I'm still in a hurry to go to class, remember to listen to Mr. Wenger in the club." ”

"Got it, Kaoru Mom."

"You guy, hmph, you're getting more and more flamboyant, I'm leaving!"

"Stay safe on the road."

"Got it."

Seeing Yuechi Kaoru drive away, Chen Mo grabbed the cylindrical backpack with his left hand and threw it on his shoulder, looked at Giroud, who wanted to wait to go together and was afraid of being disliked, and said with a smile: "Do you want to go in together?" ”

"Okay, okay!"

"Haha, don't be so restrained, your English is actually pretty good, you're quite talented."

"Hehe, I made up for two months before I came here."

"You really have perseverance, if I were French, I probably wouldn't be able to learn English."

Talking and laughing, Chen Mo and Giroud walked into the Arsenal Club building with a salute behind their backs, while at the same time, a silver-haired old man stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the third floor of the building to take in the scene.

"This little guy has such a cheerful personality."

Strength and conditioning coach and assistant coach, the blonde beauty Hathaway looked at her, Wenger smiled and nodded, holding a coffee cup, half-pulling her ass and sitting on the boss's table: "He has a leadership temperament, to be precise, the kind of leader temperament that is rare to make everyone around him feel relaxed." ”

"Yes, I remember a scout's report saying that. But, Boss, are you sure you want to change your formation? We won the championship undefeated last season with 442. ”

"If there is no Chen Mo, or Bergkamp is only twenty-five years old this year, then I will definitely use 442, but Bergkamp is thirty-five years old this year, although he is still in good shape, but the decline in physical fitness is inevitable, and the times are different. Chelsea's squad has been greatly strengthened this year, especially in the attacking line in the middle, with Frank Lampard, Joe Cole, Drogba, and we use a 442 single back to drag the formation, which is easy to break down. ”

"But."

Hathaway was still a little apprehensive, and Wenger took a sip of hot coffee and walked over to the tactical board to lift the curtain, exposing one photo after another to the sun.

Goalkeeper Lehmann.

Right wing-backs Lauren, Campbell, Toure, left wing-back Ashley Cole.

Patrick Vieira at the back, Essien at the back.

All-round midfielder Chen Mo.

Right winger Thierry Henry, centre forward Bergkamp, left winger (forward) Pire.

"Boss, that's what I'm going to say, Thierry Henry has been playing as a left centre-forward and you have him on the right now. I know he's very well-balanced on his feet, but will the sudden change in position cause him to be unhappy? ”

"No, no, no, Hathaway, you have to think about this formation with dynamic thinking."

Wenger shook his head and moved the Bergkamp magnet photo down to the right, while pushing Henry to the left of the front and then pushing Chen Mo forward to the top of the arc.

"Do you understand this change? Bergkamp has the ability to pass the ball, and likes to retreat to the right midfield position to receive the ball, at this time he can swap places with Henry, so that Henry can return to his accustomed center position, at the same time, Chen Mo, the little guy also has a strong offensive ability, and his strongest place is the brain! He knows exactly where to distribute the ball and when and has the ability to distribute it.

So when we get the offensive power, he will go to a position close to the top of the opponent's arc to act as the axis of passing and receiving, to be the brain! Let Henry, Pire, Bergkamp will continue to run and pass around his brain, all four of them are players with top foot skills, can burst at a single point and shoot at the goal, and also like to pass and cut players, and, the most important thing is that Chen Mo's running ability and interception ability are very strong, even if we invest too many offensive players on the offensive end, and are broken in this area to counterattack, he can immediately form the first line of defense, and behind him, there are Essien and Vieira will form the second line of defense!

That's why I must buy Chen Mo! In the past, we could only put the playmaking area on the left side of Pire and Henry or in the midfield of Patrick Vieira, and then forward, it was easy to make mistakes when passing in areas that were too densely defended, and we could not form an effective defense in the first time when we were counterattacked!

But with Chen Mo, with his top brain, top ball ability and excellent defensive ability, we can safely push forward the core area of the organization and attack, and do passing and cutting cooperation at the front of the opponent's penalty area! Four Super Attackers! In this case, the opponent will inevitably shrink the defensive line, but they can't shrink the defensive line, because whether it is Henry Pire, Borgekamp, or Chen Movieira Essien, they all have very strong long-range shooting ability! ”

The more Wenger spoke, the more excited he became, but Hathaway, who has always liked to pour cold water, rubbed his chin, and his big blue eyes flashed with a thoughtful look: "I understand what you mean, but your tactics require this four-man attacking group to constantly run and pass, looking for space, Henry, Pire and Chen Mo are no problem, but Bergkamp is thirty-five years old this year, and his physical condition is declining every day, so frequent running. It's hard for him to play all season, let alone the league, FA Cup and Champions League. ”

'That's why I gave up on Robin van Persie for Giroud, ahem, don't look at me like that. It's true that buying Chen Mo and Essien has cost us the entire budget for the summer, but Giroud is a very good young man, a very biased but rather practical fulcrum centre-forward.

His dribbling ability is not strong, the speed is not fast, the technical point can be praised only when the first touch of the ball feels very good, can pass the ball to his teammates in the first time, but he has a team, the ball quotient is also good, know when to make a wall for teammates, when to retreat or step forward to take away the defenders, plus the height and strong body of 1.93 meters can also ensure that he has a certain ability to protect the ball and head the ball in the front court!

When he's on the pitch, we can still play with the current tactics, but he doesn't have Bergkamp's sharp movement, he can only act as a blue-collar who takes away defenders and plays the wall, and the core changes from four to three, but he doesn't need a lot of touches like Bergkamp, and when he's there, we have an extra option!

Look at this, Giroud and Thierry Henry form a double arrow up front, and at this point Chen Mo will retreat to the right of midfield. At that time, Pire, Henry and Cole who was inserted back are all in the left midfield, and the opponent must move a large number of defenders over, and at this time, the entire right midfield plus the right side I will all hand over to Chen Mo! Let him have enough space to complete a single-point explosion and run long distances, and Giroud will be at the front of the team as a fulcrum, which can not only help Chen Mo's edge of the penalty area to make a wall, let Chen Mo complete the inward cut, and at the same time, can also let Chen Mo cross the bottom! ”

.

Wenger's ambition, Chen Mo didn't know, under the leadership of the staff, he and Giroud changed into jerseys and came to the training ground, at this time there were already many players on the field, but Wenger had not yet arrived, the players were either sitting and chatting in twos and threes, or warming up with the ball.

Seeing the two of them walking into the stadium with curious eyes, feeling these gazes and whispers, Giroud was a little uncomfortable, Chen Mo didn't care, and took out the ball from the basket to warm up.

At this moment, a tall, emaciated, handsome black Frenchman walked up to him, with a hearty smile on his face and an outstretched right hand.

"Fellow countrymen, little Argentine ones, welcome to the arsenal."
