Chapter 14: A Good Start

Arsenal's goal not only made the Emirates Stadium, but also the two commentators in the Sky Sports studio stand up in surprise.

"Arsenal! Goal!! A wonderful center forward move!! Clean goal!"

"Every pass they made hit the weak spot of Leicester City's defense. Wilshere was also very selfless in completing the cross to help Giroud, who had just joined, score his debut goal!"

"Of course what surprises us the most is that the way this goal is scored is something we have never seen before in Arsenal. This is a brand new tactical configuration and way of scoring goals!"

"We have been emphasizing before that Giroud's arrival will enrich Arsenal's tactical pool, which is also a key factor for Mourinho to choose such a player, and now the scoring method Giroud has shown is Mourinho and What Arsenal expected!”

Paul Mawson's voice of surprise filled the studio.

Dixon on the side also said quickly: "This goal reminds me of the first leg of the North London Derby last season. Harry Kane's center retreat once put Arsenal into an extremely passive situation, although in the end it relied on Kai's goal. The ball got a draw, but in that game, Arsenal paid a huge price to get the draw!”

"Arsenal and Mourinho have obviously learned enough experience. For this reason, they completely suppressed this tactic in the second round at White Hart Lane, but they are not willing to do this. Arsenal has now learned this tactic. The essence and add it to your own tactical reserves!”

"This is the most surprising thing for us. Arsenal has been using various performances to seek change and strength. While they are constantly enriching their tactical pool, they are also attracting powerful players!"

"With Giroud joining, Arsenal has played a completely different style, a direct connection between the front, midfield and back! A brand new offensive system that even transcends the core point of Kai!"

"This makes teams facing Arsenal extremely cautious in the future. Even if they watch Kai, Arsenal still has other ways of attacking!"

"This Arsenal is still strong enough, but they are not content with this. They are still looking for a way to continue to be strong!"

Accompanied by Dixon's sonorous and powerful voice, the Arsenal fans in front of the TV were also excited.

This goal and the hearty battle in this game made them feel extremely satisfied.

In the first game of the first round, Arsenal showed a surprising performance.

It’s not just Lucky’s point, other performances are equally wonderful.

If the reason for the strength of the previous Arsenal was the core midfield model headed by Lucky, then the current Arsenal can create threats at every point, which will also make the opponent's defense more confused.

The first test of Arsenal's center retreat tactic ended perfectly.

Giroud, who scored his first goal on his debut, was also extremely excited.

Lucky even picked up Giroud and showed it to the Arsenal fans.

After this goal, Giroud has no problem integrating into Arsenal, and the fans have become extremely sympathetic to him.

‘Oliver Giroud’

‘Oliver Giroud! ’

‘Oliver, Giroud! ’

Many fans at the scene were calling Giroud's name, which also brought a smile to Giroud's face.

"how do you feel?"

Lucky asked with a smile.

Giroud nodded heavily: "Great!"

Not just the goals, but the overall coordination.

With just one eye contact, Hummels knew where to pass the ball. Everyone was contributing to the attack and willing to serve as green leaves.

Even Lucai gave up the core area and was willing to help his teammates stretch the defense.

This kind of wholeness and unity tells Giroud that his choice is not wrong.

Of course, for Giroud, how to become the main starter is the most critical issue.

The one he needs to beat most is Lukaku.

For this reason, Giroud also began to launch retreat tactics repeatedly during the limited game.

However, the effect was not as good as before. I wonder if the opponent was on guard and overly obsessed with distributing the ball. The entire offensive process was not so smooth.

But Arsenal's defense is still extremely solid, which also gives the forwards enough fault tolerance to try.

The 90 minutes of the game passed quickly.

After Giroud's goal, Arsenal made many attempts and threatened the opponent's goal, but failed to score any goals. On the contrary, Leicester City relied on the opportunity of a corner kick in the final stage. , Vardy seized the fleeting opportunity and headed the ball into the goal.

In fact, this goal can be avoided, but Hummels did not dare to move too much. Knowing that he would win, he obviously had to try after receiving a yellow card.

In the end, in the first round of the 2017/2018 Premier League season, Arsenal won 3:1 against Manchester United and got a good start to the season.

Arsenal won the game, and the major Premier League teams watching the game felt heavy in their hearts.

Arsenal's form has not been affected by the European Cup, but has become even better.

At the same time, there is a new direction of tactical reproduction, which also means that Arsenal will become more difficult to deal with in the future.

The topic of ‘how to restrain Arsenal’ has been included in the research scope of the coaching staff of various Premier League clubs, and it has a high priority.

After all, it can be seen from Arsenal’s performance that they are strong opponents in future games.

This is especially true for teams such as Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Tottenham that are committed to the Premier League championship.

On the other hand, Arsenal won a hearty victory in their debut, which also made fans look forward to the future league even more.

Many fans spontaneously followed the team bus and drove all the way to the entrance of the Kearney training base, and were then dismissed by security personnel.

The main players who returned victoriously also received the worship of the remaining substitutes.

The three little ones were the first to bear the brunt.

“Great! So cool!”

“Giroud’s pass, Jack suddenly rushed forward, the tactical coordination was great!”

“The captain’s forward shot was also cool, and the shot was too decisive!”

“It’s a pity that the shot was shot in the last minute. If Jack was calmer”

The three little ones kept expressing their excitement.

Since they were not included in the roster, they watched the entire game in the base.

The whole game was so exciting.

Seeing the main players killing each other in the arena, they were also extremely excited.

They were completely involved.

And when they thought that they would train with people who left like this every day, they would be even more proud.

"You didn't train, did you? The main players went to play the game, you can't rest!"

Robertson raised his eyebrows and said, "Have you finished any training?"

"Finished!" x3.

The three responded loudly.

A coach who stayed also shrugged and said, "They trained very hard, of course, mainly to watch the game!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing.

After winning the first show of the season, everyone's emotions were also extremely high.

Lucky waved his hand and said, "Gather at the manor tonight, barbecue party!"

The old players knew very well that Arsenal would hold such barbecue parties before every season.

And Lucky treated them.

They howled one by one for this.

They knew very well that this was the only chance to indulge themselves. After this, the future would be a tough and long league, and there would be a specific management mode for diet.

"Everyone gather at 7 o'clock, Jack, you will be the one to take care of the three rookies!"

"Why me!"

"Because you get along well with them!"

"Which eye of yours saw that I get along well with them? I don't want to be a babysitter!"

"Well, let them take the subway to come here"

Wilshere was silent for a moment, turned his head and said fiercely; "I'll give you an hour to prepare for departure and send the address to my mobile phone."

The three little ones immediately turned around and rushed out of the locker room, each with an extremely excited expression.

Obviously, for these little guys who have just entered the first team, it is more beneficial to be able to get closer to the players of the first team, not to mention the barbecue party, which is a gathering to enhance "friendship".

At 7 o'clock in the evening, it was still the familiar manor.

Arsenal players began to arrive one after another.

At 7:30, the barbecue party started on time.

Everyone started talking loudly while eating barbecue.
