Ugh~~~~~~~~

Ugh~~~~~~~~~~

Eriksen was leaning against the wall to vomit, and next to him was De Ligt, who looked pale.

The two couldn't stand the physical training on the first day at Arsenal.

The weather was already hot and humid, and their physical strength was already on the verge of exhaustion after continuous sprinting.

But even so, they still needed to persist.

They didn't even know how many times they had turned back and forth, and they were already dizzy at this time.

The two found a place to sit down and rest, and Eriksen rinsed his mouth with water.

During the period, he was almost choked due to the violent panting.

"Cough cough" Eriksen coughed twice, and said with a listless face: "What kind of devil training is this!"

They were almost unable to hold on at this time, but on the court, Arsenal's players were still sprinting back and forth one after another.

De Ligt was also deeply shocked when he saw this scene.

In his understanding, the rich are all places with luxury cars, beauties, and stars.

On the first day of Arsenal, he changed his mind a little.

In addition to these, there are also crazy training that they can't digest.

On the first day of training, they couldn't keep up with the progress at all, which hit them hard.

The two sat in the corner in a depressed mood, and in the training ground, Giroud and others also saw this scene and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"These two guys have good physical fitness. If they run a few more times, I will vomit."

Obviously, Giroud and others' physical fitness can't hold on.

But in order to give the newcomers a head start, they also gritted their teeth and persisted.

"The first day of physical training is like this. This is used to deter newcomers. Who can persist?"

Before he finished speaking, a figure quickly passed by his side. When he came to the finish line, the man jumped high and made a gesture of exerting abdominal force and heading the ball.

Lukaku immediately shut up.

Giroud also grinned and shook his head.

After Lucky landed, he shook off the sweat on his body, turned his head and shouted to Arteta: "Mikel, today's physical training is in place!"

Arteta folded his arms and looked at Lucky with helplessness.

Except for this guy, the rest of the people can't stick to this physical training at all.

For Lucky, this kind of training is just right.

"Take a 20-minute break, and then play a five-on-five match in groups!"

After the physical training, it turned to ball training.

This is also a scene that the players like to see. Isn't playing football more interesting than boring running?

Everyone sat down to recover their physical strength.

After 20 minutes, the coaching staff divided them into groups.

"Group one wears blue vests, Kai, Eriksen, Kante, Xhaka, Bellerin."

"Group two wears red vests, Giroud, Mane, Aubameyang, Hummels, De Ligt!"

"Group three wears green vests, Saka, Odegaard, Jimenez, Robertson, Martinelli."

"Group four"

After completing the grouping, everyone gathered together.

Lekai called everyone together.

"The five-on-five competition emphasizes the team's collaborative legend and pressing, so you need to pay attention to your own and your teammates' passing at all times. The passing must be decisive and fast, and you must work hard to progress when pressing. Do you understand?"

Everyone nodded, and then everyone came to the stadium.

The small field has its own training items, which are to practice the passing ability and collective pressing ability in a small range.

The 11VS11 formation is too large. After the pressure is pulled apart, it is difficult to carry out this kind of cooperative training.

So it is much easier after splitting it up.

Eriksson was also trying his best at this time, he wanted to perform well.

At this time, Lekai also put pressure on him.

"Give the ball to Eriksson."

When the game started, the blue team began to give the ball to Eriksson and let him take charge of the transfer dispatch in the middle.

At the same time, he also shouldered a huge pressure.

Eriksson is not the kind of person who likes to be suppressed, so he often chooses to pull the ball back or pass it back.

But under Arsenal's tactical system, facing this kind of retreating ball, they will not relax, but continue to press in to exert pressure.

The formation of the blue team began to be suppressed.

Eriksson was also a little anxious at this time. Although the team was split, the overall pressure of the opponent's pressing was still very high.

And in the case of progressive pressing and defense, he always missed the opportunity to pass the ball.

In the end, the opponent scored a goal with Giroud's header.

"Don't be anxious, take your time! Pass the ball faster and more decisively!"

Lekai shouted to Eriksson.

Eriksson was obviously not used to Arsenal's style of play.

When he played for Tottenham, his midfield attitude was not strong enough, and this problem was exposed in Arsenal.

"Don't be afraid of physical confrontation."

"Go up!"

"Take the ball out, there is no space over there!"

Lucky kept reminding him and responded while running.

Eriksson realized that after the ball came to Lucky, he could get the ball inexplicably.

It's not that the opponent let it go, but the rhythm suddenly changed, and then he could easily take the ball out of the crowd.

Eriksson still wanted to observe more, so he took the initiative to suggest; "Captain, let's change positions."

Lekai looked at Eriksson in surprise.

Eriksson said, "I need to observe first."

Lekai nodded and said, "I understand."

After that, Lekai came to the middle position and began to be responsible for organization and dispatch.

When Lekai came to the midfield, the midfield dispatch of the blue team immediately became clear.

Their passing rhythm was not fast, but it was just right.

Fast when it should be fast, slow when it should be slow.

When the opponent is pressing, they can use continuous touches to pick the ball out.

And when the rhythm slows down, they can advance through stable holding.

Even when defending, Lekai can command the deployment.

This allowed the blue team to score two goals in a row in just 10 minutes.

"Well done, Xhaka!"

Lekai praised Xhaka.

This guy is in good shape.

Xhaka is also happy, after all, scoring a goal always makes people feel happy.

Eriksson is also observing Lekai.

He found several aspects.

First of all, it is Lekai's passing. He rarely passes forward, but transfers the ball to the sides, giving the players more room to play. He is more like a safety bolt, becoming a support point in the back.

Secondly, the accuracy and concealment of the pass are extremely high. Every pass of Lekai is very accurate and concealed.

He can always destroy the opponent's pursuit and interception, and free the ball from the siege.

If it is these two points, Eriksson can also do it.

But the most terrifying thing is Lekai's grasp of the overall game.

That kind of exaggerated control and predictability of the game.

Lekai's observation is not much, but like 360 ​​degrees without dead angles, he can always easily pass the ball to a safe position and use it to control the ball.

When pressing after losing the ball, Lekai can also stand in a position that makes the opponent very uncomfortable, and finally make their pressing easy.

It can be said that this is leading the team forward with super midfield control.

In the past, when he played against Lekai, he would have observed these problems so carefully. Now that he understood, he finally knew where the gap between him and Lekai was.

He could not play like Lekai, nor could he control the game so carefully.

But he also had his own way of playing.

"It's your turn."

Lekai found Eriksson.

Eriksson nodded and immediately made a request; "Captain, when I pass back, you should make a straight pass forward instead of shifting left and right."

Lekai showed a slightly surprised expression.

But he soon understood.

Lekai's left and right shifts may be encroaching on Eriksson's functions, causing him to be unable to exert his will in the frontcourt.

At the same time, Eriksson also knew his ability to withstand pressure, so he did not resist it directly, letting Lekai serve as insurance in the back, and he was only responsible for the organization of the offense.

"No problem."

After thinking about these clearly, Lekai responded immediately.

After the game resumed, Eriksson still chose to pass back in the face of pressure, but the change was that Lekai passed the ball forward more often.

As the two players moved forward and backward, a gap appeared.

After the pass, Eriksson would run to meet the opponent, and the rhythm instantly became smooth.

Seeing this scene, even the coaching staff next to him were very surprised.

Obviously, Eriksson's speed of integration into the team, or the cooperation between him and Lekai, began to take effect.
