Chapter 248: VAM Agreement
In order to clear the legendary card of Caniggia as soon as possible and unlock Maradona, he began to focus his daily training on leg training.
It's not an easy job.
Generally speaking, the 100-meter athlete has a weak physique, so the body will be lighter and run faster, but the problem is that the confrontation will be reduced.
When Liu Xiang was hit twice by his opponent in hurdles, his center of gravity and rhythm would be lost, and the confrontation in football was obviously more intense.
It's very difficult to get the most out of your speed while maintaining the same confrontation or even stronger.
But fortunately, Golden Haaland has a very high talent for strength, and he only needs time to grind, and slowly he can still increase his speed while maintaining his confrontation.
In this way, every morning I run and practice my legs, in the afternoon I bounce the ball in the sand in the backyard, and at night I swim in the pool on the balcony with the moon pool, tease the cat, play cannons, and the days go by.
On July 13, Arsenal officially announced the signing of Argentine central defender "The Rock" Samuel.
On July 14, Juventus took Vieira from Arsenal, leaving a transfer fee of 35 million and sending youngster Chiellini.
When Vieira left, the big guys had a meal together, and Chen Mo also went, but Chen Mo said very little at the dinner table.
Patrick Vieira left Arsenal for three reasons, the first being that Arsenal are ready to rebuild.
Vieira is twenty-nine years old.
It doesn't look very old, but it depends on the style of play and the style of play, a midfielder like Andrea Pirlo who plays more with his brain can even play to around 35, but Vieira, who is 1.91 meters tall, is obviously not that type.
He is not in his prime for two years at this age, and if he wants to win more honors in his career, he must find a team with instant power to join.
The second is that he Chen Mo squeezed Vieira's tactical position, Vieira was the core of the midfield before Chen Mo came, and now he is playing more like a blue-collar worker.
Wenger's decision proved to be right, and Arsenal won the Champions League after correcting Chen Mo, but for Vieira, he was the one who was sacrificed.
The third is that the club also agreed to sell him.
Being sold by the club is still very uncomfortable, after all, it is equivalent to being eliminated.
However, Vieira is a man with a good personality, and he still wishes Arsenal's players a smooth rebuild.
Shortly after sending off Vieira, on July 17, Ashley Cole left the team to join Chelsea, and on July 19, Toure, Pire, and Campbell left one after another, and Bergkamp also announced his retirement.
Since then, Arsenal's unbeaten title record has been the main member of the team, and only Thierry Henry is left.
In fact, the process of Henry's stay was also very thrilling, and the hat-trick in the Champions League final made him the fat target of various clubs, and during that period, there would be news in the newspapers every day that different clubs were seeking Henry.
However, in the end, despite the small salary increase, Henry chose to stay at Arsenal and accompany the club that put him on the throne through the trough.
While Arsenal is rebuilding and Chelsea is making targeted reinforcements, old rivals Manchester United have also undergone dramatic changes.
The Glazer family in the United States spent 790 million pounds to buy Manchester United, but of the 790 million, the Glazer family only contributed 300 million, and the remaining 490 million was leveraged and was a loan from Morgan Bank.
In other words, the most indebted in the world at this time is not Barcelona, not Arsenal, but Manchester United
But compared to Arsenal, although Manchester United is in debt, there is still the rich Glazer family behind it, as long as the results are good, money is still not a problem.
However, in the end, it is the first time to arrive, and similar to Chelsea's purchase of Ballack this season, Manchester United's squad framework has also been formed, and what needs to be done is targeted reinforcements, such as bench depth or something.
On July 24, Manchester United successfully renewed Davies' contract and paid 4 million euros to buy South Korea's star Park Ji-sung, and because of the conflict between Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ronaldo, they spent another 5 million to buy Van Persie from Feyenoord in the Eredivisie, and recalled Dong Fangzhuo, who won the Golden Boot in the second division.
Since then, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United have stopped operating in the transfer market and have begun to train wholeheartedly to prepare for the new season.
In such a tense atmosphere, the days passed, and soon, Chen Mo, who had been completely rested, also returned to the team to participate in the pre-season, but what happened next made Arsenal fans fall silent.
On July 30, the home team faced Highbury, facing Newcastle, which was only ranked 14th in the Premier League last season, and under the eyes of all fans, Arsenal defeated the opponent 3-2!
It's good to beat your opponents, but all fans who know the ball can't be happy! Because this game exposed Arsenal's huge problem - the backline!
16-year-old Bale, 21-year-old Chiellini, 27-year-old Samuel, 24-year-old McConn.
As a title contender, the average age of this Arsenal backline is only 22 years old!
Especially Chiellini and Bale!
Although Bell is as fast as flying, he is too young and inexperienced, and his desire to attack is particularly strong, which often leads to empty spaces behind him!
Chiellini, on the other hand, is a typical unsuitable!
Serie A and the Premier League are completely two rhythms, Serie A emphasizes that everything is based on defense, often both sides will first consolidate the defense line and then attack, while the Premier League is full of offensive and defensive rhythms!
Who cares so much!
Let's get the ball to the front court first!
Chiellini looked very embarrassed under the fast-paced play of Newcastle's dog-like frisbee, and not only these two, but also Arsenal's proud midfield began to have problems!
Mascherano defensively is fierce but only 21 years old, and compared to the mature Vieira, he is not able to read the game enough, often unable to get the ball to the right place at the right time, and is not agile enough to run and receive it.
This leads to the fact that when it is necessary to stabilize the rhythm, Chen Mo must control the ball more at his feet and wait for the opponent to run in place, and the Premier League game is not the World Youth Championships, and in the face of many people, it is difficult for even Chen Mo to control the ball stably.
If the midfield can't hold the ball, the pressure at the back will be even greater, and the problems of Bale and Chiellini will be magnified!
It's a chain reaction!
Fortunately, Henry, Di Maria and Giroud are all Chen Mo's old teammates, and Arsenal's attack is still relatively smooth and natural when attacking, and even because Henry goes to the left side he prefers, and Di Maria's speed is faster than Bergkamp, their attack is more sharp.
It can be seen that as long as it takes a little more time to run in, this offensive lineup will definitely be able to burst out with strong lethality.
But!
Play the weak team to see the offense, and play the strong team to see the defense!
Without a solid backline, it is impossible to win against a strong team!
Everyone who knows the ball understands this, so with the end of this warm-up game, the outside world began to talk more about Arsenal.
.
[Fall into the mud! Arsenal's backline is a complete disaster! They will lose hard to Chelsea in the first round of the Premier League! 】
[The average age of the back line is twenty-two?! Arsene Wenger is simply insane! 】
[I swear, if I continue to play like this, Chen Mo and Henry will seek a transfer next summer!] 】
[Let Bell go back to kindergarten!] We need a more mature left-back! 】
Who is Chiellini? I only saw a bumbling Italian! 】
"Oh, Rouss, today's news is really lively."
"Hahaha, that's right, old Jack, but isn't it so lively at the beginning of the season every year? How's that, isn't it like learning?! I really have a talent for being a host, haha. Well, welcome to BBC Premier League Football Channel, and I'm today's special guest, Kate Winslet. ”
"Wow puppet~ Welcome to the Titanic goddess, oh, Miss Kate, you are as beautiful as in the movies!"
"Really? But I'm sorry, I'm not interested in my uncle oh haha. ”
"Hey, that's a shame, hahaha, okay! Hello everyone, welcome to the live broadcast room, I am your old friend Jack. ”
London, BBC Broadcasting Company Building, bright studio, a middle-aged white man sits with a blonde big wave beauty at a round table under a backdrop in London at night.
Sitting on the left, the middle-aged white man in a bowler hat smiled: "Okay, from the TV picture just now, you should already know the theme of our issue." And I also chose a name for the theme of this issue called "Arsenal's Last Sunset", I wonder what Miss Kate, who is an Arsenal fan, thinks of this theme? ”
Kate rolled her eyes playfully, "Oh! Save Jack, it's just a warm-up game, the first game of the season doesn't start until four days later, and everything is still changing! ”
"Variables? What variables? Could it be that Arsenal's board of directors will suddenly give Arsene Wenger a large sum of money to buy players in the market? Oh, stop dreaming, you and I both know it's impossible!
Hey, Mr. Wenger is indeed bold, in order to make the financial pressure on the club next year easier, he chose to break up the team at this time, but. It's clear that Mr Arsene Wenger's revolution has failed, hahaha, and I ask Miss Kate and all the Arsenal fans to accept my warmest greetings from a Chelsea fan. ”
As he spoke, Jack got up and took off his hat and bowed to the camera decently, and Kate Winslet glared, "I want to give you a mirror to look at your face now!" Be! Our Arsenal backline is inexperienced at the moment, but we still have Henry and Chen Mo! They will lead us to another miracle like they did last season! ”
"Miracles? Come on, Hollywood movies aren't made like that anymore. Yes, you Arsenal did make history last season and won the Champions League, but that was not the credit of Chen Mo or Henry alone!
It took Arsene Wenger six years to build this title-winning squad, and now it looks like you're going to have to wait another six years. ”
"Yes, if six years can be exchanged for a Champions League title, then I would rather wait another six years than like the team that some people support, I have never touched the Big Ears Cup in my life!"
Kate Winslet squinted at Jack, who was not annoyed, but just smiled proudly: "For us at Chelsea, with the current momentum, it is only a matter of time before we win the championship, and the most important thing is that we can continue to play for many years after winning the championship and create a dynasty belonging to Chelsea!"
And even if you win the championship, what awaits you is only to rebuild again, and you will never be able to build an Arsenal dynasty! ”
Poverty is a dead end.
Rao knew that he was just here to make a cameo, Rao knew that this was the hot script given by the director, Kate Winslet, who was a fan of Chen Mo, still stayed in Bengbu, staring at a pair of big watery eyes, "Yes!" We have some economic problems now, but as long as Chen Mo is still around, we will rise again!"
"Oh, Miss Kate seems to be completely fascinated by Chen Mo's appearance. I have already said that Chen Mo is indeed very strong, but a large part of the credit for his current height is due to Vieira and Pire.
Let's see, how much he struggled without Vieira in the last game? Oh, you seem to be very unconvinced, why don't we make a bet? ”
"What bet?"
"If the first-round match has a post-match rating of more than seven points, I'll kiss the donkey's butt. If there are no sevens, that. Of course, as a gentleman, I naturally won't let the beautiful, kind and honest Miss Kate kiss your donkey's ass, you just need to admit in the Mmc community that Chelsea are better than Arsenal this season... Well, and Old Jack is more handsome than Chen Mo, how about it? ”
"Nope! What a man can do, a woman can do it! If I lose, I'll kiss the ass too! ”
"Haha, a word?"
"It's a deal!"
