Chapter 12: Excellent Performance

"My goal is the coolest! If I hadn't been substituted, I feel I could have scored more!"

The good performance made the players' emotions extremely high.

Even Di Maria showed a happy smile.

He was very satisfied with the transfer to Arsenal. On the one hand, the environment of Arsenal gave people a positive energy.

On the other hand, there was no pressure at all!

Yes!

Di Maria doesn't like pressure!

Perhaps because he has never been a core player in the past, Di Maria hates pressure and doesn't like to be given pressure.

He wants to play freely, rather than being urged to take responsibility!

This is also the reason why Di Maria's state is ups and downs.

As a first-class midfielder in football, Di Maria can always burst out with top strength.

But at this moment, most of them are in the situation where there is not much pressure, and the core players perform well to give him enough support.

And Di Maria's current state is like this.

Arsenal never gave him any pressure, he just needed to do a good job as a role player on the wing.

If he feels in good condition, he can lean more towards the middle and pass more threatening balls.

If he is not in good condition, he will do his old job and break through on the wing.

At the same time, Arsenal has a stable core attribute.

Lucky is not very old, but he gives people a very stable feeling.

Whether in defense or offense, Lucky is the most stable point of Arsenal.

And as for Di Maria, playing in Arsenal always feels like being led by Lucky.

Seeing Lucky running, he will involuntarily join in and keep running.

And with this change in the continuous transmission, Arsenal will play very actively and quickly.

Sometimes, Di Maria even wondered, how good it would be if Lucky was an Argentine?

In the last World Cup, Argentina and Germany met in the final, and Gotze's lore goal helped Germany to top the World Cup.

But throughout the World Cup, Argentina has always been able to feel the weakness of the midfield!

Messi is strong enough and powerful enough!

But Argentina's midfield lacks a stabilizer like Lucky!

If Lucky is placed in Argentina, the final score will definitely not be like that.

Of course, this is just Di Maria's unilateral idea!

After the break, the second half continued!

In the second half, Wenger made a large-scale substitution!

Almost the entire lineup was replaced. Except for Lucky and Kante in the midfield, everyone was rotated.

Even Walcott, who had just come on the court, was replaced.

The warm-up match is a part of testing the tactical lineup. Wenger felt that the previous lineup had been tested almost enough, so he continued to examine other lineups.

But in the entire substitution, Lucky and Kante were not replaced.

This is also worth noting!

Lucky is the core!

He is the core in any lineup, so he will not be replaced!

But why is Kante?

At this moment, they finally felt a huge pressure.

Wenger seems to like this little French black charcoal more and more!

This is also true. Wenger gave Kante a lot of time, just to see how much he can do.

Although he is very satisfied with it now, what if it can be better.

In the second half of the game, Nuremberg also made a large-scale substitution!

The game started with a fierce attack.

But with the constant obstruction of Lukay and Kante, it was difficult for them to play well.

Even if they forcefully entered the penalty area, they would be reasonably blocked and pressed by Arsenal.

Not to mention shooting, it was difficult to get into the penalty area!

Nuremberg's performance was very poor, while Arsenal felt better and better.

Lukay was willing to be a supporting role, constantly passing comfortable and appropriate passes to the players, allowing them to give full play to their advantages, and this style of play also quickly increased their self-confidence.

After 90 minutes of the game, Arsenal finally won the game with a score of 5:1!

Arsenal played well, but Nuremberg was a little autistic!

They could feel that Arsenal did not play to their full strength, and they were still reserved.

But even so, Arsenal still scored five goals against them.

This gap made them a little depressed.

Of course, the good news is that after the warm-up match with Arsenal, Nuremberg found a lot of problems. Although there are many problems, they can be solved one by one.

They believe that as long as they solve these problems, they can return to the Bundesliga!

After the second training match, Arsenal returned to London and prepared to face Sevilla, the opponent for three warm-up matches.

At the same time, this training match was also written about by the British media!

"Arsenal 5:1 Nuremberg! The Gunners played a strong dominance in the warm-up match! 》

"The gun smoke is already filled, and the Gunners are looking for the next prey! 》

"Arsenal in the new season! A powerful arsenal! 》

In addition, the evaluation of the newly joined players and Lekai and others is mainly praise.

"Kai's performance is still excellent! The trigger for Arsenal has begun to be pulled! 》

"Di Maria! The angel descended on Arsenal and scored the first warm-up goal! 》

"Sanchez performed well! 》

"Suarez"

Various reports emerged one after another, and the entire British media seemed to be surrounding Arsenal.

After all, after last season, many people feel that Arsenal has bottomed out!

The three generations of Gunners led by Lukay will raise the glory of the red and white flag again!

On August 5, Arsenal's last warm-up match will be held at the Emirates Stadium.

Their opponent is the king of the European League, Sevilla.

This game is still not open to the public, and there is not even any media stationed.

There are two types of warm-up matches. One is a commercial model, which is to make money, similar to an exhibition match.

The other is a real warm-up match, in order to observe the team's status, tactics, lineup, etc.

For example, the match against Nuremberg and Sevilla is a real warm-up match of inspection nature, which will not be open to the public.

What fans can get is who scored, what the score is, etc., but the specifics will not be disclosed.

Arsenal prepared three warm-up matches before this season, which is less than those clubs that played six warm-up matches alone.

The first game is a commercial match, which makes money!

The second game is a recreational game. Nuremberg is not strong enough. This game is for the players to adjust their status and increase their confidence!

The third game against Sevilla is the key running-in stage.

The game process will completely copy the intensity of the official game.

Therefore, Arsenal also needs to be prepared for this.

Sevilla ranked fifth in the La Liga standings last season. It is a veritable European-level team and a La Liga powerhouse.

Therefore, Arsenal also takes it seriously.

Almost all the main players are playing, with a Kante!

Goalkeeper: Navas.

Defenders: Sagna, Mustafi, Koscielny, Gibbs.

Midfielders: Kante, Cazorla, Lukay.

Forwards: Di Maria, Suarez, Sanchez.

Di Maria and Lukay are in a diagonal position, which is the final position after the coaching staff discussed after the last warm-up match.

Di Maria is not a midfielder, so it is useless to waste Luka and Cazorla there. It is better to help Sanchez more.

Give Di Maria enough freedom and let Kante cooperate with the latter.

It is surprising that Kante started in this warm-up match.

It also shows that he is very satisfied with Kante's performance in the last game, which is why he is qualified to start this time.

In this regard, Kante is happy, but also feels a lot of pressure.

I don't know if he is not a starter, but after starting, he feels a lot of pressure when he looks at the stars sitting off the court.

He knows that Wenger will replace him immediately if he doesn't perform well.

Luka didn't take care of Kante too much. Some things depend on himself to overcome and strive for.

Luka tightened the captain's armband on his arm. A Premier League standard captain's armband is not uncomfortable to stay on his arm.

But he knows very well how heavy this captain's armband is.

This is the captain's armband of the giant Arsenal!

Sevilla players were standing in front of him. Lekai took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "Guys! Cheer up! The last warm-up match! Let's play beautifully!"

Arsenal players also shouted in response.

Finally, Lekai said: "Gunners!!!——"

Arsenal players shouted in unison: "Forward!!——"
