Chapter 1079 New season!The first opponent!
August NO.11, the 2018/2019 season of the Premier League will begin.
Arsenal's game is ranked NO.12 in August, which is also the last game of the match day, and their first match opponent is from Manchester City.
The first battle is a peak duel.
It can be said that the English Premier League still understands the arrangement of events very well. At the beginning, it arranges a highlight event, and then attracts the attention of fans to hype it.
The match between Arsenal and Manchester City has become the only focus at present.
The two clubs fought fiercely last season.
The points both broke [-], and it can be said that they almost dominated the entire competition area, leaving no chance for Biren at all.
Liverpool next door were forced to fight the Champions League.
Fortunately, Liverpool also won the Champions League. After Klopp took office as the Red Army coach, he finally ushered in a huge honor, which also made Klopp's momentum in Liverpool extremely high.
The current Premier League can be regarded as a gathering of strong teams.
Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool, these three teams are definitely the top strength in Europe.
Even if it is placed in the Champions League, it is still a fear for the opponent.
The rest of Manchester United and Chelsea can always come suddenly at critical moments, making the already complicated Premier League events even more chaotic.
Of course, this is also the charm of the Premier League.
Strong teams gather, and examples of weak teams killing strong teams in upsets abound.
It can be said that the gap in the strength of the Premier League teams is not particularly large, which also caused the situation of the Premier League melee.
However, the dominant position of BIG6 is still very obvious.
At least as far as this season is concerned, the three teams of Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool definitely make him dare not underestimate them.
Manchester City's investment in the transfer window this season is not large. Perhaps it is because of the crazy buying in the past few seasons that it needs to stop for a while, or it may be that Guardiola has enough confidence in the lineup. They are consistent with Arsenal's attitude. In the case of ensuring the main force, some small enhancements have been made, and not too much transfer funds have been invested.
Of course, it would be false to say that Manchester City does not have enough money. After all, they are backed by a world-class super group and they have sufficient transfer funds.
However, recently, news about Manchester City's violation of the Financial Fair Play Act has appeared in the media from time to time. Perhaps Manchester City is afraid of this issue.
After winning the Community Shield, Arsenal's status has been sufficiently guaranteed.
After playing that game, it has greatly promoted the adjustment of the players, and can also enter the game state of the new season faster.
This inner transformation is the most critical.
This season, Arsenal have great ambitions, and they have not hidden them. Although they will not talk about these things like some big mouths, when the media asks, they will admit it openly.
Yes!
Arsenal just want titles, more titles.
This is especially true for players such as Giroud, Hummels, Mane, and Jimenez.
Among them, Giroud and Hummels said when they joined that they came to Arsenal to form a championship puzzle.
Last season, they won the Premier League title, but that wasn't enough.
The Champions League is the ultimate goal.
To this end, everyone worked extra hard to participate in the training.
Physical training is going on in the training ground.
The physical training of football is different from that of other athletics.
Due to the particularity of football, it is necessary to ensure anaerobic combined with aerobic mode.
In the horizontal training field, the players stood neatly on the sideline, two by two, and accompanied by Arteta's clapping, they quickly started running towards the opposite sideline.
You must go all out during the whole running process, and you must not be lazy in the slightest.
Going back and forth in this way has an excellent promotion effect on the growth of physical fitness.
Snapped! ! !
Da da da da da da da! ! !
Arteta looked at the timer in his hand, turned his head and shouted; "Xhaka, your speed is a second slower, don't be lazy!"
Immediately he said to Kanter again; "Keep going!"
Xhaka and Kanter circled back to the starting point from both sides, and came to the end of the line to wait in line for their turn.
While waiting, the two were also chatting.
"It's already the sixth round, do you still want to run?" Xhaka wiped the sweat from his face, then lowered his head and twisted the corner of his clothes to squeeze out the soaked sweat.
Training under the sun is really unbearable.
When the weather is hot, the loss of physical energy is also accelerated.
He felt that Arteta specifically found this time for physical training.
"This year's physical requirements are very high. It is estimated that it is for multi-line combat. After two days of persistence, the recovery period will be entered soon." Kanter said casually.
This season, Mourinho has clearly become concerned about physical fitness.
Perhaps in the previous few seasons, Arsenal encountered too many problems in multi-line operations.
Among them, physical fitness is an extremely critical attribute.
At this time, it was the turn of Saka and Odegaard.
Snapped!
With Arteta clapping, the two suddenly started and rushed to the other side at an extremely fast speed.
When rushing to the edge of the net, the two actually jumped a bit.
Seeing this scene, the Arsenal players grinned.
It's nice to be young!
The entire physical training was carried out in ten groups.
After the ten groups came down, almost no one could stand still, and everyone was lying in the shade, gasping for breath.
"I want water, I want a massage to relax, I feel like my calf muscles are going to cramp."
Wilshere lay on the ground howling.
Suddenly, there was a cold feeling on his forehead.
Wilshere shivered and opened his eyes to find a cold energy drink on his forehead.
"Don't drink too much at one time, share small sips"
Before Lucky finished speaking, Wilshere immediately unscrewed the lid and spun wildly.
Seeing this scene, Le Kai shook his head helplessly.
Wilshere naturally understood that he shouldn't drink too much water at this time, but his throat was really going to smoke.
With a bottle of iced drink in my stomach, I immediately feel refreshed.
Wilshere lay on the lawn, squinting his eyes, feeling the comfort of the afternoon.
The breeze blows by, sweeping away the sultry feeling, and the sun shines through the treetops, flickering.
In the ear is the sound of birds chirping.
Wilshere closed his glasses and said with a satisfied expression, "It's so comfortable!"
Others also followed Wilshere's example.
At this point, they were really exhausted.
Several people snored lightly not long after they fell to the ground, apparently falling asleep.
But the rest time is only 10 minutes.
Ten minutes later, they were brutally awakened by Arteta.
"Everyone goes back to shower, then goes to get changed and assembles in the tactical room an hour later."
Arteta clapped his hands and scolded.
The crowd couldn't help but wailing; "There is still tactics class?"
They don't want tactical lessons, they want to go home.
"Time is a bit tight, and I will start trying some new tactics tomorrow." Arteta finished speaking, clapping his hands; If you still want to play under him, it's best not to make him angry."
Hearing this, the players dragged their heavy bodies and stood up sighing.
They came to the tactics room about 50 minutes after they went into the locker room to wash down.
The summer afternoon is a very sleepy season, and physical training is in advance. For this reason, the coaching staff prepared some iced watermelons and fruits, the purpose of which is to refresh the players and prevent the players from falling asleep.
Lucky tasted a sliced watermelon, which was very sweet and ice-cold.
As soon as I took a sip, I felt a chill rushing straight to my forehead, and any drowsiness disappeared in an instant.
At 3 pm, Mourinho came to the tactical room on time.
He didn't talk nonsense, hung the tactical board in his hand aside, turned on the projector and started talking.
The whole process is extremely boring.
But the players listened very seriously.
Whether they are the main force or the substitute, they all have a sense of tension in the competition within the team.
They know very well that if they don't want to be replaced, then they have to listen carefully to the tactics.
Once he failed to hear the specific tactics because of being stupefied, he would not be able to connect with the team at that time. According to Mourinho's character, he would just sit on the bench and reflect.
They don't want to encounter this kind of thing.
For this reason, they all concentrated their attention and even took notes.
