Strong Waist Chapter 119

   Chapter 119 Warm-up match

   "Is the training enthusiasm too high?"

   Patrice stood on the sidelines and said with some doubts.

  The holiday has just ended, in most cases, the players have not yet switched from the holiday mode to the game mode, which requires a step-by-step process.

  You need to use games and various means to stimulate players.

   But the current Arsenal players are working extremely hard.

  Whether it is a substitute or a main force, each and every one of the training postures is extremely hard.

  Suarez just finished ten sets of shooting training, and the substitute ran over to practice 15 sets.

  Suarez suddenly came back and practiced five more sets.

   Both sides seem to be angry?

  No. It should be a competition!

   Wenger also noticed this situation, turned his head and asked Vermaelen; "What happened in the dressing room?"

   Vermaelen grinned bitterly and said: "Kay ignited the enthusiasm of the substitutes, and even the main force has begun to feel pressure!"

   Wenger was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

   "Very good! Isn't it?"

   Wenger looked in the direction of Lucky after finishing speaking.

  Lekai is still in recovery training because he has just recovered from his injury.

   But you can gradually increase the amount of training.

   There was no problem in almost the first game.

   After the first day of training, Wenger called the players together.

   "The pre-season warm-up will start tomorrow, everyone will stay in shape, and everyone will get a certain amount of playing time."

   After a pause, Wenger continued; "Your performance will determine whether you can get the chance to play in the new season, or even start!"

   Hearing the words, the players were shocked.

  The hearts of the substitutes became hot.

   And the main force is one by one secretly clenched fists.

   Seeing this scene, Wenger smiled.

  Le Kai set a fire, he didn't mind fanning the wind, which was helpful for the players to accelerate into the game.

   On the way home, Chamberlain, who was rubbing against the car, sat in the co-pilot and complained to Lucky:

   "Hey! You shouldn't say those things, it's stressing us out!"

   Le Kai didn't turn his head, and scolded with a smile; "You have fart pressure, and you are also a substitute!"

  Chamberlain was stunned for a moment, and then he said angrily; "I will kill you!"

   Lucky: "Your target shouldn't be me, your corresponding position is Cazorla!"

   Hearing the words, Chamberlain suddenly became quiet.

  Cazorla?

   That guy who is full of extraordinary skills, can be called a pervert.

   It can be said that if Cazorla is not injured, he will not get any chance at all.

After    Le Kai parked in front of the house, the two got out of the car.

  Chamberlain's residence is very close to here, about 800 meters away, so he will come over every day to rub the car.

   In this regard, Lucky doesn't mind either.

After saying goodbye to Chamberlain, Lucky walked into the house.

  Turn on the lights, the room was extremely quiet, and after simply eating some low-calorie foods such as chicken breasts, Lucky started training again.

   Since the last injury, Lucky has been consciously exercising his flexibility.

   Especially the ligaments in the legs should be exercised to prevent them from being pulled or torn again.

   Lucky doesn't want to be a glass man with injuries.

  There is a room of about 20 square meters on the first floor, which has been transformed into a small exercise room.

   There are treadmills, elliptical machines and some dumbbells of different weights.

   Lucky first jogged on the treadmill for a while, and after his body warmed up slightly, he started to stretch his whole body, especially his legs were stretched very thoroughly.

   Then get on the elliptical machine, while using dumbbells to train small muscle groups.

   Finally, another layer of yoga mat was laid and the flexibility training began.

   After the whole set of training, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and Le Kai took a shower, rested for a while, swiped his phone, read the news, and fell asleep at 10 o'clock in the evening.

   The next day, Lucky packed his luggage and drove to the training base.

   A total of three warm-up matches against Parma, Lazio and Bournemouth.

   Two Serie A teams and one English Championship team.

  Why Wenger is looking for a Serie A team for training is mainly to test Arsenal's ability to deal with defensive counterattack tactics.

   Obviously, this is Chelsea who are watching out for Mourinho.

   I don't blame Wenger for this. In fact, compared to the old Sir Manchester United, Arsenal's winning rate against Chelsea, especially Jose Mourinho's Chelsea, is really not high.

   Therefore, he urgently needs to adapt the team to this defensive counter-attack.

   Especially Mourinho's defensive counterattack!

   That is really the master who grabs the opportunity and never relaxes!

  Arsenal players gathered at the training base and immediately took the bus to the airport to fly to Italy.

   On July 31st, Arsenal ushered in their first warm-up match.

   This is a game against Lazio.

   Serie A teams generally like to delay the organization, and this organization method must also make the Arsenal players more in-depth, and the overall formation must be stretched.

   At this time, it is time to test the positional sense of the midfielders and the defensive line players.

   Fortunately, Lucky, Koscielny and Mertesacker cooperated very well.

   With Le Kai sweeping in front, the two back line players are more comfortable.

   But even so, Lazio can always cause some trouble for Arsenal.

   Their center is Klose!

   The 35-year-old German striker still has a strong ability in front of goal at the end of his career.

  As the player most expected to break Ronaldo's World Cup scoring record, Klose has a very keen sense of smell in front of goal.

  Le Kai almost tried his best to stare at Klose who was kicking, which suppressed the opponent, but also maintained that he almost gave up his offensive ability.

  In the first half, Arsenal finally ushered in the first goal under the steady defense.

   Suarez cooperated with Cazorla to complete the collision against the wall in the penalty area, and finally Cazorla scored the goal.

   After this goal, Arsenal quickly made substitution adjustments.

   Wenger replaced many main players in a row and began to try the possibility of substitutes.

  The performance of the main force is satisfactory to him.

   Especially the Lekai who returned from injury, this has always been a thorn in Wenger's heart. Now after Lekai's return, he is still in a good state, which also makes Wenger take a long breath.

  Lekai was quite satisfied with his performance in the first half.

   Actually, there is no problem of instability for him.

   Most of the predictions of others rely on calculations and experience, but Lucky relies on the default prediction talent, which makes him almost never unstable.

   If I have to say the problem, it is that during the long-term recovery process, the physical strength has decreased somewhat.

   But this thing can be practiced back. Of course, Lucky has learned a lesson this time, and will give more attention to flexibility training to prevent the ligament from being injured again.

   Flamini, who came off the bench, also played well. As mentioned above, he and Arsenal seem to have no so-called running-in period, and they integrated extremely quickly.

   But the problem is, he can't completely freeze Klose's performance like Lucky.

   After competing with Klose again and again, Flamini realized how powerful Lucky was.

   How did that guy suppress Klose without making a sound at all?

  Flamini also tried to limit Klose, but seriously, he couldn't defend.

   Even with the help of two guard teammates, he was still struggling.

   The only good thing is that he played well on offense.

   Only, this is relative.

   He has paid attention to Lucky, so he also understands Lucky's ability on the offensive end.

   In this warm-up match, Lucky was not unable to attack, but actively sacrificed his offensive ability for the team.

   And he is forced to show more attacking ability, because only in this way can he draw Lekai's performance.

   This result was also extremely frustrating for him.

   If we say Lucky's defensive performance is 2.

   He is 1 (offense) + 1 (defense) = 2.

  Lekai did not show his offensive ability, and his defensive ability is not necessarily equal to 2!

   At this moment, he suddenly understood how difficult it was to remove the No. 4 jersey from Lucky.

   The first warm-up match ended, Arsenal 4:4 Lazio, the two sides ended in a draw.

   The next day, they rushed to Parma, a city in northern Italy, without stopping, for the second round of warm-up matches.

   In this warm-up match, Le Kai played the whole game and blinded everyone with his performance.

   10 steals, 9 interceptions, 5 destructions, one assist and two key passes!

   And Arsenal also won the second warm-up match with a score of 5:3 under the crazy performances of Lucky, Suarez and Cazorla.

   After two rounds of warm-up matches, Arsenal returned home.

  Although there is still one last warm-up game left, that game is no longer important.

  Arsenal tested it with two games, the players are in good shape!
