Chapter 706 Return to the starting lineup

Chapter 706 returns to the starting line

There are many strong teams in the Premier League, which also makes the league’s internal schedule extremely intense.

At present, Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea are definitely the top ranks of the Premier League.

Manchester United has still not been able to find its previous state after years of turmoil. For this reason, many people feel that Manchester United has begun to decline.

After Arsenal experienced Wenger’s departure, many people also said that they will copy the trend of Manchester United, but Arsenal’s management is obviously much smarter.

It was almost a smooth transition. From Wenger to Mourinho, a system with Lucky as the absolute core was established. After the team completed the reorganization, it exploded with vigorous vitality again.

This is why many people are currently optimistic about Arsenal.

Although they missed the Champions League this season, for Arsenal fans and the media, they feel that Arsenal will appear on a higher level stage next season after all.

Of course, in terms of the league itself, Arsenal VS Manchester City is definitely the focus of attention!

On the eve of the match between the two sides, the Manchester City team had already arrived in London and started training activities.

Manchester City’s head coach expressed his expectation for victory in this game in previous interviews. They came to London with the expectation of taking away three points.

Of course, this statement aroused strong anger from Arsenal fans. The three-pointer at the Emirates Stadium is not so easy to get.

Compared to Guardiola’s high-profile, Mourinho was silent.

He didn’t accept any media interviews at all, and he didn’t publicly complain about it.

Many people feel that Mourinho is now busy with training and tactical arrangements for scoring battles.

But only insiders know that Mourinho was given a gag order.

Because Mourinho had provoked too much in front of the media before, created topics, etc., this caused Arsenal’s public relations department to be on call almost 24 hours a day to deal with problems and help Mourinho wipe his ass.

And this working mode also made these staff dissatisfied. Under the collective protest, the club had to issue a gag order.

Mourinho was honest, which also made Arsenal experience a short period of leisure.

People’s attention gradually came to the competition.

For Arsenal fans, what they are most looking forward to is undoubtedly whether Lucky will start in this game.

After missing seven rounds, he came off the bench for two consecutive rounds. Now that his injury has almost recovered, Lucky should also start in this crucial game.

And the current Arsenal can’t find a candidate who can replace Lucky.

Even if you look at the entire football world, there are very few who can replace Lucky.

Mourinho will not give up this powerful player.

And after entering the battle for points, Lucky also needs to take on more tasks.

He needs to be in better shape and adapt to the game.

January 14, in the evening.

The sky slowly dimmed, and the flickering lights lit up the whole city.

In the area where the Emirates Stadium is located, a large number of fans have come around the stadium.

They cheered and flocked to the stadium, waiting for this Premier League focus battle.

In order to warm up the game, various topics emerged one after another, such as

“Is Lucky starting? ”

《How does Manchester City deal with Arsenal’s home advantage? ”

“Can Arsenal win the home game? ”

“Who will be kicked out of the Champions League qualification circle?” ”

and many more

These topics make this game the focus of everyone.

At about 4 o’clock, the buses carrying the players from both sides arrived at the Emirates Stadium almost at the same time.

Watching the players of the two teams get off the bus, the cheers of the fans on the scene also rose.

They call the players by name!

They sent blessings to the home team with the hottest cheers.

Amidst the cheers, the players of the two teams walked onto the court and entered their respective locker rooms.

Arsenal’s locker room is mainly based on red and white, with a huge simple Arsenal team logo printed on the gray floor.

When Lucky and others walked into the locker room, their jerseys were neatly hung on the locker.

Below, towels, drinking water, spare jerseys and other items are prepared.

Arsenal’s equipment manager is still extremely diligent.

The entire locker room is U-shaped, and Le Kai’s position is almost in the middle of the U-shape, which is also a symbol of status in the team.

Lucky stuffed the backpack into the cabinet, and then changed into the training jersey handed over by the equipment division. During the warm-up session, they will not wear the game jersey.

After changing the equipment, Le Kai got up and clapped his hands; “Move faster, and be more active when warming up for a while, pay attention to protect yourself, don’t get hurt!”

After Le Kai finished speaking, he immediately left the locker room to go out to warm up.

And other Arsenal players followed suit.

Throughout the warm-up session, Arsenal fans were still cheering for the players.

Lucky’s warm-up is very simple. In addition to juggling the ball, long passes, and short passes to practice his feet, he will choose jogging more often.

In this way, the body can be fully warmed up, while thinking about the game.

After the warm-up, they returned to the locker room and put on red and white home jerseys.

Mourinho is also announcing the starting list.

“Goalkeeper Martinez, defenders Jimenez, Hummels.”

When it came to midfield, Mourinho barely paused, shouting; “Kante, Kay, Wilshere!”

This also shows that Lucky has confirmed the starting lineup for this game.

Teammates smiled and sent blessings.

After being absent for 7 rounds and being a substitute for two rounds, Le Kai finally recovered from his injury and returned to the starting lineup.

Lucy also had a smile on his face.

Wilshere personally gave Lucky the captain’s armband.

“Finally I can hand this thing over, playing football with it, I always feel bound!”

Wilshere smiled and patted Lucky on the shoulder and said, “Welcome back, Captain!”

Lucky smiled and nodded, then took a deep breath and said, “Okay, guys, thank you for your blessings, but the most important thing is, we have to focus on the game, this is my first game back, and it is also the focus of the league We all know that Manchester City is not an easy opponent to beat, but they are worth beating because of this!”

“Let us play a wonderful game at home, let us give back to the fans with a wonderful game!”

After finishing speaking, Lucky raised his arms and shouted; “Arsenal!”

“go ahead!-”

The short roar represents the determination of the gunners to win at this moment.

Mourinho watched with a smile as the Arsenal players walked out of the locker room led by Le Kai, and he said to Arteta on the side: “Kay always makes people willing to follow him.”

“His spiritual energy and charisma can influence many people!” Artete shrugged; “We have to admit that some people are born with this ability.”

Mourinho nodded. In his coaching career, he has seen many such players.

They have natural leadership skills and the ability to influence their surroundings.

The mental attributes of such players are amazing.

At least Mourinho feels that, compared to those top stars, these players are the foundation and core of building a team.

In the player channel, players from both sides have already stood on both sides.

Le Kai stood at the front, looking slightly sideways.

Manchester City’s lineup includes David Silva, Yaya Toure, De Bruyne and others, which also shows that it will be a hard battle.

But Lucky put more attention on Yaya Toure.

Compared to Yaya Toure at his peak, Yaya Toure at this time has obviously gradually faded out in Manchester City’s lineup.

He is no longer the most powerful B2B midfielder.

Guardiola even dropped Yaya Toure in the UEFA Champions League from September to November, for which Yaya Toure’s agent bombarded Guardiola, which ended with Yaya Toure’s apology on social media .

Although Yaya Toure still played in this game, his tactical status must not be too high.

Looking at Yaya Toure’s appearance, Le Kai couldn’t help thinking of the time when he just joined Arsenal, how powerful Yaya Toure was at that time!

At that time, Yaya Toure was high-spirited and could be called the Premier League’s number one midfielder with super thighs.

Yaya Toure at that time was definitely an existence that Lucky needed to look up to.

Nowadays, things are different.

Yaya Toure’s peak is not there, and he can’t even find his place in Manchester City. It is very likely that he will leave the Premier League stage this season or at most one season.
