Chapter 409: Start with White Hart Lane
"The king of the people?"
Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood what Wenger meant.
Yes, just as Hummels thought when he decided to leave Bayern, Arsenal's squad has become difficult this year with Thierry Henry getting older, Luka Modric leaving, and the team still running out of money to buy big names.
The main reason is that it is no longer possible to reach two wings and have a top threat at the same time.
Nineteen-year-old Bell is still a bit of a gap compared to Henry.
Marcelo is a visible talent, but he is only 19 years old, and he doesn't have the experience of playing in the Premier League for three years like Bale, so it will take time to adapt.
Arsenal's threat on the left side will decrease, and the pressure on the right side will increase, in this case, like last season, Chen Mo helped Di Maria on the right side to create space, and at the same time tried to blast in the middle, the final result is likely to be unable to penetrate all three ways.
But if you kick around one side.
Bale can't be the absolute offensive core, and Di Maria can't do it, only he Chen Mo has this ability!
Wenger's meaning is very simple, let Chen Mo become Xiao Luo in 06!
The team will create space for him, and his first choice after Chen Mo gets the ball is no longer passing, but breaking through by himself!
So the old man wants me to play a little more self-consciously?
The effect of this kind of play is certainly not as good as last season, after all, last season is equivalent to the activation of the whole Arsenal team.
But there is no way, the strength of Arsenal's current squad cannot support the style of play last season.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo nodded: "As long as the team needs it, I'm OK." ”
"Then it's settled."
Arsene Wenger nodded, got up and clapped his hands, waited until all eyes were on him, and then said: "Lads, I know you've just returned from a laid-back off-season life.
But as you know, our team has gone through some personnel changes this summer, so . From today until the start of the league, we will have no more days off. ”
As soon as Wenger's words came out, the players all looked at each other.
It's the beginning of August, and it's still half a month before the league starts!
There was no rest for half a month, which was quite tiring, but no player showed an unhappy expression on his face.
That's the benefit of a younger squad.
The young squad can easily lead to the collapse of the team at the end of the season due to unstable mentality, but correspondingly, because the players are still young and have not yet achieved achievements, they are very eager for victory and glory, so the momentum is also the most sufficient.
However, the truth is that Arsene Wenger still laughed: "Of course, I don't make you soak in the gym every day to lose weight, the training volume is still the same as usual, but on the rest day we have to focus on talking about new tactics for next season." ”
Speaking of this, Wenger took a sip and swept his gaze over everyone: "I know that many of you think that our team may focus on training after personnel changes this year, and the outside media has been spreading this.
But what I want to tell you is that our goals at Arsenal will never change! That's the championship! This year, our goal is still to win the championship! Next season, we'll tell the whole of Europe what a surprise is! ”
.
Wenger, a Sven man with a real glance, is foul-mouthed, and the lethality is still very strong.
Under his stimulation, the young people in the Arsenal team screamed excitedly, not to mention discussing tactics on their rest days, they didn't even want to go home!
However, not wanting to go home is the idea of a person like Di Maria Rakitic who has no wife, Chen Mo still wants to go home, after all, who would hate a sexy little wife who only wears a white apron and cooks in the kitchen.
I go to the club to train during the day, practice physical skills one day, explain tactics one day, and go home at night to get tired of my wife.
Whether it's the ball skills at the feet or the ball skills in the hands, it is rising rapidly.
In such a fulfilling and happy time, the days passed day by day.
However, compared with the comfort and stability of Arsenal's side, the football scene in the outside world can be described as a bloody storm.
The day after Chen Mo returned to London, Kaka and Mourinho officially announced their arrival at Manchester City.
It didn't take long for Manchester City to sign Barcelona discarded Deco, Monaco iron Yaya Toure, Bundesliga Hamburg defender Vincent Kompany and . Benzema, who scored 31 goals in a single season in Lyon last season!
The four deals add up to nearly 70 million euros, and Mourinho doesn't seem to have any intention of stopping, waving money around.
All of a sudden, the city of Manchester was in full swing.
The daily news is about Manchester United and Manchester City, then Manchester United and Liverpool, but there are fewer reports about Arsenal, and even some media have begun to call for Arsenal to fight for a top four this summer.
Singing and declining.
It's normal, but it's true that these media are not messing around.
This year's Premier League is indeed very fierce.
Needless to say, Manchester United's side is not bad, their original team is not bad, plus this summer window of 100 million reinforcements, how fierce you look.
It's the same with Liverpool, who are quiet and unassuming, but they have reached the last four of the Champions League for three consecutive seasons, and the squad is very thick.
The forward line is Thomas and high school forward Crouch.
In midfield are Steven Gerrard, Marcos Alonso, Cesc Fabregas and high midfielder Sissoko.
This midfield lineup is either top-tier or top-notch in every position, not to mention that they also have lesser-known but strong players such as Reese, Colwill and Benayoun sitting on the bench.
As for Chelsea, although Mourinho has gone, the overall squad has not changed much, and their new manager Ancelotti's style is actually similar to Mourinho, and he also focuses on defensive counter-attacks, but not as extreme as Mourinho.
Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea.
These three teams, with the exception of Chelsea, are all teams that have gone through several years of running-in as a whole and have received strong reinforcements this summer.
Arsenal, on the other hand.
Although Henry is still there, Wenger's use of Henry at the end of last season has also made most people understand that Henry is about to enter the end of his career.
Maybe you'll still have some dominance on the field, but it's almost impossible to finish the season like you used to.
And Modric is gone.
Anyone who knows the ball knows how important Luka Modric is to Arsenal.
As soon as he left, Arsenal's entire left flank was almost paralyzed, and Arsene Wenger announced after bringing in Marcelo that Arsenal would not be adding to this summer.
Even if Chen Mo is invincible now, football is a team sport, and the outside media is still not optimistic about Arsenal.
The media believe that this year will be a year of Arsenal's rebuild, especially some commentators who prefer Tottenham, and directly announced that Arsenal has withdrawn from the title race this season.
In this time when the outside world is flying around with transfer news every day and some good things are being sung about Arsenal by the media every day, the days go by.
Soon, it was August 15, 2007.
The first match of the Premier League 07/08 season will be played at White Hart Lane, home of Tottenham Hotspur.
And Tottenham's opponent is their city rival - Arsenal.
