Chapter 317 Training Match
Since Di Maria and others just arrived at the training ground, they did a 'simple' warm-up training.
But after the warm-up training, the three were already sweating profusely.
Their expressions were a little distressed, and they felt that this was not a warm-up training, but a part of high-intensity training.
In this regard, Arsenal players generally have the expression of watching the show.
They are used to this kind of training, so there is no big problem.
But when they first started adjusting the training, they also had the same expression.
Now watching others go through the tragic episodes of their own past, I can't help but feel a sense of schadenfreude.
After the warm-up, Wenger and other coaching staff came to the training ground and started the training game directly.
Di Maria and the others did not drink a sip of water, and they ran to the arena without taking up any space for their buttocks.
At this moment, they have a certain understanding of Arsenal's training.
Di Maria and other three were assigned to substitute positions.
The main team also has two new faces.
are goalkeeper Navas and midfielder Kante.
Kante's entry into midfield partner Luckey is something that Wenger has licensed, and although some people have some criticisms, they dare not refute it.
After Kante joined Arsenal, although he was conscientious, he never had the chance to show enough performance.
And this game is also a challenge for him!
"take it easy!"
Lucky walked towards Kante and patted the latter.
The latter nodded and said, "I'll watch you kick!"
Lucky was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile.
Kante is taking the initiative to fill his own seat!
If it was someone else, Lucky would really be worried, but Kante is different.
Of course, he is not particularly clear about what kind of ability Kante can play at present.
Therefore, Le Kai is also investigating this midfield partner in this game!
The two sides entered the field of play, and with the whistle of Patrice, the game started.
Suarez passed the ball to Cazorla just after the whistle.
Cazorla passed back to Lucky, Lucky transferred it horizontally to Kanter.
Kante stopped the ball firmly and passed it back to Koscielny.
Lekai retreated to receive, and after catching the ball, he passed the ball to Kante.
At this time, Di Maria had already rushed up.
Kante was a little flustered, but still steadied his body and passed the ball to Lucky.
Lucky nodded slightly and hit the ball directly to Cazorla.
At the same time, he also stepped forward directly!
Kant saw Lucky step forward, and his position moved slightly closer to the middle.
Wenger looked at Lucky and Kante with a trace of scrutiny in his eyes.
Now is the time to put Kante to the test!
Since joined Arsenal, Le Kai has rarely stepped forward, and his position is relatively backward.
But this time, Lucky's position was slightly ahead.
Even sometimes parallel stance with Cazorla.
This not only helps Cazorla share the pressure, but also further strengthens Lucky's offensive ability.
Lucky's position is higher, and the pressure will naturally be greater.
But Lucky is not tired of this feeling.
No one likes to be passively beaten all the time!
In the previous three seasons, due to lineup problems, Luckey needed to share the defensive role, so he was always on the side of being beaten.
Now, Lucky has the opportunity to make big strides forward.
The main team gradually controlled the situation in the field by relying on the midfield scheduling of Lucky and Cazorla.
On the bench side, it was a bit of a mess.
Because of the lack of running-in, and with Sanchez and Di Maria, two players who are completely insoluble in the tactical system, Wilshere played very irritably.
These two guys, one desperately drills forward, and the other retreats every time to ask for the ball!
Wilshere can't even play the pass he wants to play, which is a nuisance.
Compared to these two people, it is the aged Ferdinand who is more reliable.
And he played extremely calmly, without any desire to express, giving a solid feeling.
The coaches on the sidelines also saw this scene.
"Ferdinand's performance was much better than expected."
Strength and Conditioning Coach Colbert said.
Wenger also nodded; "His performance is indeed very calm!"
Other coaches are also evaluating and collecting data on new players. It has to be said that Ferdinand's performance is the best so far.
In the backcourt, Ferdinand made the backline commanding advance and retreat well-founded, even Walcott and Rosicky could not easily break through.
Compared to Ferdinand's performance, both Di Maria and Sanchez were as sluggish as headless flies.
Ferdinand watched the performance of the two, but concentrated on his own business.
In the newly joined team, there are two ways to prove yourself.
First: integrate into the team.
Second: creativity.
Ferdinand believes he is no longer young and unable to play sufficiently dominant, so he chose the first option.
Although the benefits are not high, the risks are also small.
And Sanchez and Di Maria chose the second option because of their youth.
But from the current situation, Ferdinand's performance is the best.
Of course, it does not rule out that these two suddenly created some opportunities.
Is this possible?
Di Maria was targeted by Le Kai, while Sanchez was targeted by Kante!
Sanchez played so frustratingly.
Every time he wanted to break through, this little black charcoal suddenly rushed out of a blind spot of vision and grabbed the ball under his feet.
Sometimes even interception, making Sanchez extremely uncomfortable.
If this person is replaced by Lucky, he can accept it.
After all, Lucky's fame is there!
But a little-known little black charcoal.
Who are you? !
Snapped!
Sanchez suddenly feels off-center, a feeling that's familiar because it's always been like this in this game.
If there is no accident, the little black charcoal will **** the ball from his feet.
Sure enough, in the next second, Kante dunked the ball directly!
Sanchez wanted to chase back angrily, but Kante had already passed the ball to Luckey.
Kant was not greedy for merit at all, nor did he delay the rhythm of the counterattack, and immediately passed it to the core Lekai.
And Lucky looked up after he got the ball.
Walcott understood, and immediately began to accelerate the sprint.
And Lucky also used the outer instep to draw an arc directly.
Walcott overtook the opponent's full-back, rose into the air, and after unloading the ball in the air, he directly chose to cut inside.
At this time, Suarez also hit the big penalty area!
Walcott rubbed the arc again, the ball floated in front of the centre-back, and Suarez, who was caught by the horse, passed the goal.
The whole process is extremely smooth and fast.
From counterattack to goal, no more than five seconds!
And within five seconds, Arsenal's main team scored!
Suarez looked happy after scoring.
And Lucky and others are also very happy.
This goal shows that they are in good shape.
Especially Kanter!
Lucky turned to look at Kante!
This guy's stealing and interception ability is really good, and he can completely make up for the neutral position after Lucky's forward move.
As long as Kante maintains this level, Lucky will move forward without any worries.
And when defending, he can call the opponent's defense a disgusting one!
"His name is N'Golo?"
The members of the coaching staff also looked at Kanter in surprise.
If it wasn't for that dark skin, they would all think it was Lucky.
Of course, this is just a metaphor, representing that Kante's defensive ability makes their eyes light up.
Kanter and Lucky's steals and interceptions are not the same type at all.
If Lucky is a violent bulldozer, then Kanter is a kind of assassin.
When you let down your guard, give it a sudden.
When you react, the ball has been lost!
Wenger also had a smile on his lips. He was very satisfied with Kante's expression, especially his attitude and seriousness towards training.
If Kante can grow up smoothly, then Arsenal will have two iron walls!
The one that closes two iron gates and blocks it directly for you!
Of course, there is still a certain gap between the current Kanter and Lucky!
For example, Kante only has the singularity of the defensive end, while Luckey is developing in the direction of a comprehensive all-round core.
But that's enough!
Wenger bought Kante in order to fill the vacant position after Luckey stepped forward.
If last season's Arsenal was hindered in engine horsepower, all Wenger is doing now is to completely free this horsepower!
Lucky is the key!
Only by fully developing Lucky's offensive ability, Arsenal can achieve great growth.
The good news is that Arsenal have shown this trend now!
