Chapter 686 Playing without teammates
Arsenal’s training is in full swing.
Mourinho on the sidelines also looked at this scene, showing a satisfied smile.
Since he accepted Arsenal and carried out transformation, this team has produced combat effectiveness. Although there is still a certain gap with those top European teams, Mourinho believes that as long as they continue to run in, Arsenal will definitely be able to explode. Amazing energy.
The performance of individual players in the Arsenal team also made Mourinho appreciate it.
First of all, Robertson is already the main full-back of Arsenal.
Since joining Arsenal, Robertson has only been on the bench once, and soon became a stable starting position.
His presence has made Arsenal tighter on the defensive end and more options on the offensive end.
Many times, when Arsenal are advancing, Robertson will advance from the outside of the winger.
This can not only increase the density of the opponent’s defense, but also help the overall offense to advance better.
The most important thing is that Robertson’s passing ability also benefits Arsenal’s strikers to get more shooting opportunities.
Followed by the player Mane.
This player from Senegal was not liked by Mourinho at first, but with the performance of this guy, Mourinho gradually changed his mind.
Mane is the kind of player who eats grass and milks. He does not occupy the ball, is willing to assist, and is willing to help his teammates create offensive opportunities. His style of play is extremely selfless.
Although he couldn’t become the highlight of the stadium, Mourinho saw everything in his eyes.
As long as this player is well developed, he must be a top player embryo.
Finally it is Lukaku!
Lukaku, who entered Arsenal at the beginning, had a lot of problems.
But Mourinho couldn’t stand it and really wanted to give this strong player some chances.
With the efforts of Mourinho and Arsenal, Lukaku’s changes are obvious to all.
You can see the change from the number of goals he scored.
He is quickly adapting to this team and becoming the main outlet for firepower.
As for the defense, I can’t say there are any surprises, but it has met Mourinho’s requirements.
Mourinho’s requirements are very strict, especially on the defensive end.
As a head coach known for his defensive counterattacks, his foundation is the defense.
The partnership of Jimenez and Hummels makes Arsenal’s defense extremely solid, and with the presence of Lucky and Kanter’s two midfielders, Arsenal’s defense can be described as solid.
What needs to be most concerned at the moment is Jimenez’s glass man attribute. As long as he is not injured, then everything is easy to say.
Koscielny Mustafi’s partner, Mourinho never thought of giving up.
But it must be a substitute for the second team.
It can be said that the only problem with this Arsenal team is the left wing.
Of course, this problem cannot be said to be a problem.
This is the second season Aubameyang joined Arsenal, but he still failed to show enough performance.
In other words, in Mourinho’s view, Aubameyang has a higher ceiling, but he just failed to kick it out.
How to activate Aubameyang’s ability has always been a difficult problem for Mourinho.
“Swiss speed, excellent running position and ability to grab points, keen sense of smell in front of the goal, and assist ability, among these four abilities, he only played the first and fourth.”
Mourinho is a little distressed: “What if Aubameyang’s running position and sense of smell in front of the goal are brought into play?”
For this reason, Mourinho also tried to let Aubameyang enter the penalty area, but instead suppressed Aubameyang’s performance.
Suddenly, Mourinho murmured; “Did I suppress Aubameyang’s space too much?”
“gentlemen?”
Arteta on the side turned his head and wondered.
Mourinho suddenly turned away from the training ground and plunged into the office.
He began to flip through Arsenal’s past game videos.
The player he mainly focuses on is Aubameyang.
Under the game video after game, Mourinho finally discovered the problem.
He leaned on his back, suddenly shook his head and laughed and said, “If you don’t run long enough, how can you let the plane take off!”
The next day, Arsenal’s team training game.
After dividing the team, Mourinho took the initiative to find Aubameyang.
“In this training match, no one will limit your running direction, you can freely shuttle around the entire left wing!”
Looking at Mourinho’s appearance, Aubameyang was a little confused.
But the latter has pushed him into the field.
Aubameyang didn’t understand what Mourinho meant, but the other party allowed himself to shuttle freely on the left wing, and suddenly felt a breathable feeling in his heart.
Aubameyang wore a red vest and started the team match.
Mourinho and the coaches are also paying attention to their review objects.
Mourinho is mainly concerned about Aubameyang.
“Aubameyang’s speed is an advantage. Wenger and I thought he would catch the ball in the frontcourt and then use his speed to create an advantage, but we forgot the problem of the length of the runway. That distance cannot inspire Aubameyang. Yang’s absolute speed! This also limits his other abilities!”
Mourinho looked at the field. He saw Aubameyang retreat directly to a deep position. After receiving a pass from the full-back, he immediately started to start.
Mourinho’s eyes lit up.
“start.”
Boom!
Before Aubameyang started, Le Kai suddenly appeared on the sidewalk and shoveled the ball out of the sideline.
Immediately, he turned and left slowly.
At this moment, Aubameyang and Mourinho were full of depression.
The feeling of impending explosion was suddenly interrupted by Le Kai.
“still have a chance!”
Aubameyang cheered secretly, as long as the retreat is too deep, that state can still continue.
10 minutes later, Aubameyang found another chance.
He strode the ball in stride. At the beginning, the frequency of his feet was extremely fast, and soon he threw off his arms and started to run wildly.
At this moment, everyone’s eyes widened.
So fast!
Faster than ever!
Aubameyang also felt extremely excited, this is his familiar style of play.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him.
The opponent is rushing towards him quickly, but instead of standing up and blocking the inner runway, the opponent chooses to press close.
In desperation, Aubameyang immediately dunked the ball outside, trying to open up the distance, and forcibly overtook from the outside.
But the opponent suddenly stretched out his foot and poked the ball out of the sideline.
Aubameyang had no choice but to slow down.
He turned his head and looked at the burly figure with resentful eyes.
There is no accident, and he is still the team leader!
Snapped! !
On the sidelines, everyone slapped their foreheads.
This feeling is terrible, I am about to reach an orgasm, but I am blocked by someone abruptly.
Sometimes, Lucky’s stealing ability is also annoying.
“Kay!! You come down!—”
Mourinho couldn’t help it either.
This training match is intended to allow Aubameyang to find his status. Le Kai has played it twice in a row, and he will be knocked out even in a good state.
If Le Kai continues to stay on the field, Aubameyang will only become more cautious.
Lucky is a little confused.
But the coach asked him to go off, so he went off.
Without Le Kai’s obstruction, Aubameyang’s performance has become normal.
But the problem is, this guy just can’t get that feeling back.
Tried many times in a row and still didn’t get any results.
Mourinho and the coaches felt extremely headache.
They could only look at Le Kai with dissatisfied eyes.
This captain deserves it, kicking his teammates out of the state!
Le Kai wondered: “What are you all looking at me for?”
Arteta smiled wryly and walked over to explain.
Le Kai showed a startled expression.
“This”
At this time, Le Kai was also full of embarrassment.
If he knew the situation, he would release the water.
“Why don’t I encourage you?” Lucy smiled wryly.
Arteta shook his head and said: “It’s useless, wait for the next time, this time I found some state, although I couldn’t play it, but this state has already been felt, and it can reappear in a short time, the problem is not completely gone has been solved!”
“But has your stealing ability improved?”
Lucky’s stealing ability was already very strong before, but now he feels more stable.
With the speed of Aubameyang, Le Kai also easily completes the steal.
You must know that this type of speed player in the past is the type of Tianke Lekai.
Regarding this, Le Kai smiled and said, “I can’t always be in a passive situation. For this reason, I sorted out some stealing skills. I dare not say that they are 100% useful, but they are not so passive.”
Arteta nodded; “Try it when the game is over!”
