Chapter 32: Rookie Is Selected for the First Time

A game completely demonstrated Lucky's terrifying defensive ability.

The frame-by-frame analysis of major bloggers pushed Lucky to the position of the top defensive player in football.

Throughout the history of football, there has never been such a perverted defensive player.

In fact, Lucky's ability on the offensive end is still acceptable. If he is a little more vigilant or more cautious, he can defend.

But the problem is on the defensive end!

Strong physical strength, good starting speed and accurate prediction, all of which show how terrifying Lucky is a defensive player.

Kearney training base.

In the head coach's office.

Mourinho picked up the newspaper on the desk.

"Terrible defensive ability! Kai's defensive details are shocking!"

This is an evaluation from The Sun, and Mourinho smiled slightly.

The outside world's evaluation of Lucky is very complete, but it also misses some places.

For example, Lucky's spiritual attributes.

Mourinho slowly got up and came to the window.

You can see the whole picture of the training ground through the window.

At this time, the entire Arsenal team was taking the lead in warm-up training under the leadership of Lekai.

Now Arsenal's warm-up is no longer included in the training session, but the players "spontaneously" complete it first.

When the coaching staff arrives, they can directly enter the training theme.

"The last two groups of round trips! Then stretch!"

After Lekai said, Arsenal's players began to sprint 20 meters one by one.

In a group of two, they must run at full speed.

Someone counted the seconds at the finish line, which also meant that these data would be in the hands of the coaching staff.

After the whole warm-up was over, everyone took a breath and prepared to rest for a while, waiting for the coaching staff to arrive.

Among them, the three little ones also gathered together.

Compared with the beginning of the season, the progress of the three little ones is extremely obvious.

They are now in the age of growth, and it is also a critical moment for physical development, so they make great progress every day.

Many first-team players are also a little envious of the progress of the three little ones.

After all, this growth stage is gone forever.

Benjamin's body has obviously become stronger. After entering the first team, he has begun to systematically carry out muscle and confrontation training.

As a defensive midfielder, if he cannot win in the confrontation, he cannot stand firm in defense.

For this reason, Benjamin is the first one to do muscle training.

"When can we make our debut?"

Benjamin said with anticipation.

It has been more than two months since they entered the first team, but let alone the debut, they have not even entered the big list.

When the main players go to the game, they can only continue to train at the base, while looking forward to the moment of their debut.

"Sir, you won't send us to the youth team without playing a game, right?"

Sam still wants to stay in the first team. Although there is no game to play, training with the first team will be a great bonus for them.

"Train patiently! We are still very weak now!" Saka is obviously becoming more mature.

Perhaps he has been hit too many times.

This youth training genius was abused in the first team. Let alone the main players, sometimes the substitutes can bully them based on experience.

But Saka has made the greatest progress.

He can already cooperate with the first team in attack, especially with Giroud.

Just as the three little ones were looking forward to the Emirates Stadium, Mourinho and the coaching staff walked into the training ground.

Mourinho walked in and said directly; "Next is the group competition."

Hearing this, the players' eyes lit up.

Compared with boring training, competitions should be more exciting and more fun.

Soon, the assistant coach began to divide the players.

Two groups of substitutes and two groups of main players.

But surprisingly, Saka actually entered the main group.

This change stunned everyone and Saka.

However, the main players quickly reacted and put on training vests one by one. Wilshere even threw the extra vest to Saka.

"Put it on! Saka!"

This time, he did not call the rookie.

Saka was still in a daze.

But the two friends beside him reacted quickly.

Benjamin's eyes were red.

"Damn! You entered the main group?"

Sam's jealousy was bleeding.

Saka also reacted and stood there with a silly smile.

It was not until Lekai roared that he rushed into the stadium in a hurry.

The competition began.

The coaching staff stood on the sidelines to record data.

Arteta came to Mourinho and asked; "Do you plan to train Saka?"

Generally, most of these youth training players stay in the first team for a period of time, and then go to the youth team or rent out for training.

And Saka entered the main group, which is a bit unreasonable.

In this regard, Mourinho said; "I haven't thought about it, but I have to give them some opportunities after all. In the next few games, they will get some opportunities to play one after another. Whether they can stay depends on themselves!"

In fact, among these people, Mourinho cares about Saka the most.

This little guy has good ability on the wing, and he is particularly persistent and eager to score goals.

This is better than Aubameyang.

After joining Arsenal, Aubameyang seemed to have lost that desire to score goals, and he played more of a supporting role.

On the contrary, Mane's shooting skills began to get better and better.

After a training match, Saka scored two goals, one of which passed two people in a row, including goalkeeper Martinez's goal.

Martinez looked a little embarrassed. When no one was looking, he secretly pulled off Saka's pants as a small revenge.

In the next few days, Saka was able to enter the main group to warm up every time.

On the eve of the fifth round of the Premier League, Mourinho announced the 18-man roster, among which Saka's name was prominently included.

[By the way, it is currently the best app for reading and listening to books. Change the source app and install the latest version. 】

This time, the little guy jumped up in surprise.

He is finally going to travel with the team. Although he may not necessarily get the chance to start, he can still sit on the bench, which is a big improvement.

"Hey! I'm on the roster!"

After returning home, Saka excitedly announced to his family.

The room was silent for a moment, and then suddenly burst into exclamations.

Saka's father even picked up his son and gnawed in ecstasy.

My mother was even more excited and shed tears.

“Congratulations, Bukayo!”

"Thank you! Brother!"

A young brother who looks similar to Saka has a look of helplessness and envy in his eyes.

Both of them grew up playing football together, but eventually the younger brother stepped out.

And he was selected into the match roster of a giant like Arsenal, and he was still struggling in the youth team.

To celebrate Saka's inclusion in the squad, the family prepared a sumptuous dinner and decided to go watch a game on the weekend.

My father has already bought the ticket excitedly.

There was no way he would miss his son's debut.

"I may not be able to play!"

Saka frowned.

In this regard, Saka's father said: "Arsenal plays newly promoted Brighton in the next game. As long as they score a few more goals in the first half, you will have a chance to play!"

Saka's father laughed; "You don't think Arsenal can't suppress Brighton, do you?"

Hearing this, Saka shook his head decisively.

How can it be!

Isn’t this indiscriminate killing?

Saka immediately shouted: "I wish I could make my debut tomorrow!"

The family laughed and sent blessings.

The next day, Saka came to the training base early.

Because he didn't know the specific process of the game day, when to gather, etc., or maybe he was nervous, he came a little earlier.

But when Saka entered the locker room, Lucky was already sitting inside.

"team leader?"

Saka looked at Lucky in surprise.

Lucky turned his head and glanced at Saka, then smiled and said, "Nervous?"

Saka was a little embarrassed.

But after all, it was his first time being selected into the squad, so he was still a little nervous.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. The result of the game has basically been decided before you go on the field. You performed very well in training. As long as you show your usual performance, the fans will buy it!"

Saka nodded fiercely and said, "I will score!"

"Goal in your debut?" Lucky gave a thumbs up and said, "Very good fighting spirit!"

Soon, Arsenal players arrived one after another, and the players on the roster packed their packages and boarded the bus.

And Saka also carried his golf bag and boarded the bus behind the main players.

Although this was not the first time I boarded the bus, my mood was completely different.

This time, he is heading to the Emirates Stadium as an Arsenal player.
