Chapter 490 Defense is the thigh?

"How is the training opponent's arrangement?"

Patrice asked.

In order to prepare for the battle, Patrice found a total of four warm-up opponents.

They are Rome in Serie A, Barcelona in Spain, Wolves in the English Championship and Porto in the Portuguese Super League.

"It was not particularly smooth. Barcelona clearly rejected our invitation to the warm-up match. Porto and Wolves said that they have finished their schedule and have no free time."

What about a liar?

Patrice looked angry.

That's all for Barcelona. Porto and Wolves definitely did this intentionally, and it is very likely that they don't want to have a warm-up match with Arsenal without Wenger.

Patrice's face was cloudy and uncertain.

"Who are the warm-up opponents who invited us?"

Martin Hughes said helplessly; "Many teams have invited us, but they are mainly concentrated in the second-tier league."

Patrice's face became even uglier.

This is isolating Arsenal!

As the Champions League champion last season, Arsenal has become the research target of many teams in the new season.

After Wenger fell ill and Patrice took over the team, no team wanted to play a warm-up match with this opponent who had European competition.

They want to study Arsenal without exposing themselves.

But the Wolves refused the warm-up match, it was purely disgusting!

After a moment of silence, Patrice sighed and said, "Find three teams to fill the vacancies. Tomorrow we will go to Italy first, and the remaining three warm-up matches will be held in London."

Anyway, the invited party decides where to kick.

In fact, after Arsenal won the championship, the outside world gradually began to have some remarks that questioned the Arsenal championship.

The problem arises with the intensity of Arsenal's game.

Arsenal have only faced Bayern Munich, a traditionally strong team, in the entire Champions League.

Paris Saint-Germain is also a rookie who has risen recently.

Juventus, despite their renaissance, are still not in the top ranks of Europe.

Therefore, many people think that Arsenal took the bonus of the draw, and they did not win the Champions League from Real Madrid, Barcelona and other teams.

The strong teams were all defeated by other teams, while Arsenal took advantage of the weakness of the opponent to take advantage of the opportunity to defeat the opponent.

Simply put, they are questioning the gold content of Arsenal's Champions League.

In this regard, Arsenal did not make any refutation.

A champion is a champion, how can there be any stolen champions?

They reached the Champions League final upright and defeated their opponents, so they are not champions.

But outside fans don't recognize this.

Anyway, there is no gold content.

There is nothing Arsenal can do about it.

It can be said that the current Arsenal has become the target of public criticism.

Under the aura of Champions League champions, everyone's research goal at the beginning of the season is Arsenal.

While detracting from Arsenal, they are studying them.

Moreover, the current Arsenal has just undergone a major change of blood. Under the influence of many main players leaving, how much combat power is left is also a question worthy of attention.

The next day, under the leadership of Patrice, the Arsenal team went to Rome, Italy to prepare for the warm-up match.

Here, Lucky saw many familiar faces.

The first is the old Arsenal player Gervinho.

This Arsenal player who was in the same period as Lucky was finally abandoned by Wenger and moved to Rome. The situation in Rome is not particularly good now.

It's just that Gervinho seems to be avoiding them intentionally, and doesn't want to communicate with them too much.

Obviously for Gervinho, the memory at Arsenal is not particularly good.

On the contrary, Szczesny seemed extraordinarily enthusiastic.

He even invited Lucky and other Arsenal players to hold a party at their house after the warm-up match.

But Patrice directly vetoed it.

There was nothing Szczesny could do about it.

In addition, Dzeko also moved from Manchester City to Roma.

Obviously there is no place for Dzeko in Guardiola's lineup, so he sought a transfer.

Dzeko looked at his former opponent, the current Champions League champion Arsenal, feeling very uncomfortable.

They are already Champions League champions!

But he started to go downhill.

Although Serie A is also one of the five major leagues, compared with the Premier League, neither salary nor competition intensity can be compared.

The two sides quickly put into the warm-up match.

Arsenal is still using the tactics of last season!

Arsenal (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Cech!

Defenders: Chambers, Mustafi, Koscielny, Gibbs.

Midfielders: Kante, Wilshere.Lucky.

Forwards: Aubameyang, Suarez, Sanchez.

Rome (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Szczesny

Defenders: Florenzi, Manolas, Rudiger, Digne.

Midfielders: Pjanic, De Rossi, Farke.

Forwards: Dzeko, Perotti, Shalawi.

Le Kai stood in the arena, constantly jumping lightly.

For a whole season, Lucky has achieved his goal of losing weight, his whole body has become lighter, and the frequency of his feet has also been effectively trained.

How it is progressing, Le Kai actually doesn't know, he needs to be certified in the competition.

But the light body makes Lucky feel great.

Moreover, Patrice also instructed that Lucky should stand to the front left, and he needs to connect with Sanchez and Suarez.

Obviously, compared to Aubameyang who just joined, Patrice is more inclined to have a chemical reaction between Lucky and Sanchez.

Of course, Aubameyang also gave up.

He and Wilshere also need to form a linkage.

There also needs to be a tacit understanding among the frontcourt tridents.

Does it look familiar at first glance?

This is how Arsenal played last season!

It's just a staff change.

Patrice was copying homework.

But Di Maria and Cazorla in the key positions, walked and injured, which also made Patrice full of anxiety. He didn't know if he could play the effect.

In this case, the warm-up match begins,

Arsenal took the lead.

After Suarez returned the ball, he ran forward.

Lucky received the ball, continued to pass back, and made a protective response.

After confirming that no one was around, Lucky asked for the ball.

The ball came to Lucky's feet again.

Lucky waggles the ball forward.

But he is pulling the ball sideways, the whole person is along the left side, facing the right side, and when he is sideways, he pulls the ball with his right foot.

In the past, Le Kai would not pull the ball like this, but after training during the holidays, the speed of his feet has accelerated so that he can choose more ways to play.

Just like now, Lucky's position can better observe the front, and at the same time, when facing the defense, he can suddenly accelerate laterally and have more options.

After pulling the ball sideways for a distance, Le Kai couldn't help frowning when he saw the Roman players retreating.

Last season, many teams would choose to press forward, but this time they looked for a retreat.

Apparently this has been researched.

They are afraid of Lucky's passing ability.

After looking around and finding that there was no good passing position, Lucky could only pass the ball to Wilshere, and then retreated a little depressed.

Wilshere is full of drive and runs extremely aggressively.

He and Suarez have completed many passes and cooperations.

But Aubameyang's side is obviously not very suitable for Arsenal's pass and cut system, so every time the ball comes to Aubameyang's feet, there is a feeling of dragging the rhythm.

Aubameyang doesn't dribble, he also passes.

But the speed of passing and thinking is too slow, which also leads to a decline in the overall rhythm.

Le Kai sighed at this, there is no way to do it, Aubameyang can only get used to it gradually.

The game continued bit by bit, and the offenses of both sides began to let go.

Both sides have carried out many offensive cooperation and shooting.

But failed to score.

The defense on both sides is excellent.

Roma coach Spalletti nodded in relief. They were here to test their defensive capabilities.

Being able to complete the defense under Arsenal's offense is already very good.

On the other hand, Patrice frowned.

Arsenal's offense has gone wrong!

When it comes to Arsenal, it is definitely a team with explosive attack power.

The same is true for Arsenal last season. When it comes to attack power, they are definitely at the top of the Champions League.

But in this warm-up match, Arsenal's attack power was greatly reduced.

There is the impact of personnel changes!

There are effects of new players not getting used to it!

There is also the impact of insufficient running-in as a whole!

Anyway, for now, Arsenal's best performance is actually the defense?

Heck!

Arsenal's defense has become thigh!
