Chapter 44 The new season, the first round!

In the training match in the afternoon, Le Kai also played well.

At the halfway point, the professor ordered Le Caedo to play a threatening long ball, preferably in combination with Podolski or Gervinho.

In this regard, Lucky is also fully implemented.

The two-foot long pass accurately came to the opponent's neutral position.

But the problem is, neither of these two can run.

In other words, none of them saw the neutral position.

Wenger was a little helpless.

Let Walcott try to cooperate with Lucky.

It has to be said that the effect is remarkable.

Walcott and Lucky can form a good echo.

And after many long passes, Lucky seemed to have tasted the sweetness, and was no longer willing to defend silently.

After a cooperation with Arteta, a knife-like through ball was passed.

Another time was during a quick counterattack, I received a pass from my teammate near the middle circle, and without stopping the ball, I directly rubbed a big arc with the outside of my foot.

From the left wing directly to Walcott's feet on the right wing.

This big arc directly shocked the coaching staff.

To be honest, from Lucky's point of view, they can see Suarez who is about to move ahead.

Podolski was also ready to start, but Walcott's movements on the right did not notice at all.

And there are several people in the middle, and there are blind spots in the field of vision.

Not to mention how the footwork is, just how this guy sees this gap is scary enough.

The pass set the professor's heart on fire.

He hoped that Lucky would give it another kick.

But it's a pity that after this pass, Lucky couldn't copy it again.

Instead, he began to defend with peace of mind.

At first, the professor felt that Le Kai couldn't find a good opportunity, or that the kick just now was a hoodwink.

But Patras suddenly flashed a scorer.

The main team 1:0 the substitute team!
Wenger opened his mouth slightly, recalling the previous warm-up match.

It seems that after Arsenal gained an advantage or lead, this guy also began to fully invest in defense.

So, this is slavery? !
After leading by one goal, they started to defend the point to death.

Wenger wanted to cry but had no tears.

He felt that Mourinho would like this guy!
After the training, Wenger stood in front of everyone holding a tactical board. Everyone knew that this was the announcement of the squad for the game.

Tomorrow is August 8th, the first round of the 18/2012 Premier League season is about to start.

"I got my name, I will participate in tomorrow's game!" Wenger looked around and looked down to read his name.

"Suarez, Podolski, Walcott, Arteta, Gervinho"

Everyone whose name was called showed joy. After all, entering the squad for the new season is a good start for them.

Wenger didn't look up until the end, closed the list, and read out the last name.

"Lucky!"

Lucy's expression was flat, and so were the others.

Don't be too surprised that Lucky entered the big list.

On the one hand, Lucky had a brilliant performance at the end of last season.

On the other hand, many players are eager for Lucky to play.

For example, Captain Vermaelen.

Since Alexander Song left, Vermaelen's defensive pressure has skyrocketed.

Even though Alexander Song likes to rush forward, when defending, the opponent's offensive personnel must be the first to pass Alexander Song.

And now?

Arteta, Diaby, Ramsey, Santos, Chamberlain, none of them are active defensively.

Ramsey is better, but that's about it.

This defensive midfielder is the same as nothing, and all the pressure comes to the defense.

And if Le Kai plays, he will directly lay a defensive gate in the midfielder position.

The opponent doesn't even want to go around, and Vermaelen's defensive pressure will be much less.

Vermaelen came over, patted Lucy on the shoulder and said, "Congratulations, and you will perform well tomorrow."

Lucy was a little surprised.

He seemed to be the starter.

Others have the same idea.

They didn't have any surprises when Lucky played.

After all, they see everything in their eyes.

Performance at the end of last season + warm-up match performance + training performance = substitute/starting game!

If even Lucy is not eligible to play, then none of the defensive midfielders in this vote are eligible.

Back at Billy's house that night, Lucky announced the good news.

For this, Billy seemed to have been prepared, and he directly showed three tickets.

"Look! I'm ready!" Billy flaunted, shaking the ticket.

Le Kai was surprised: "Do you know that I will be on the big list?"

Billy shrugged; "If Wenger's performance at the end of last season cannot be confirmed by Wenger, then we can only doubt the professor's vision!"

"The professor is still very discerning. You are once again on the roster, and you may have to start!"

To this, Le Kai shook his head and said, "Probably not, the professor said he would let me practice for half a season!"

This time Wenger was open and honest with Lucky.

He needs Le Kai to practice for half a season. If his performance is still good, then Le Kai will be able to get the status of the main starter.

Lucky didn't have any complaints about this.

After all, I have been waiting for a season.

And there is still the possibility of coming off the bench in this half of the season, which is much stronger than before.

The following day, at 15:30 pm London time.

The first round of the 2012/2013 Premier League season, Arsenal VS Sunderland, has started for 30 minutes.

The score of the two sides presented 1:1.

The starting lineup of both parties:

Arsenal (4-3-3)

Goalkeeper: Szczesny.

Defenders: Jenkinson, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Gibbs.

Midfielders: Diaby, Arteta, Cazorla.

Forwards: Gervinho, Suarez, Podolski.

Sunderland (4-5-1):
Goalkeeper: Mignolet.

Defenders: Richardson, O'Shea, Curral, Craig Gardner.

Midfield: McLean, Colback, Cattermole, Larsson, Campbell.

Forward: Sessegnon.

At the beginning of the game, Arsenal relied on an offensive opportunity, and Podolski assisted Suarez to score a goal.

But Arsenal's lead only lasted 2 minutes. Sunderland relied on a chance to defend and counterattack. Campbell drove in and went directly to the penalty area, assisting Larson to score.

After that, the game fell into a stalemate for a period of time.

This game also made the Arsenal fans on the scene terrified.

They clearly felt that although in terms of offense, Arsenal has absolute suppression.

But the defensive end seems so weak.

That counterattack was neither sharp nor too fast.

But the opponent just scored.

Arteta and Diaby just watched each other pass through the midfield without causing any restrictions at all.

As mentioned before, the pressure was all on Vermaelen's side.

The disrupted Arsenal defense faced the opponent's multiplayer attack. In addition to the chaos, they had no choice but to concede the ball.

This goal stunned Arsenal fans, and at the same time stunned the professor.

They never thought that Arsenal's defense would be so weak.

The opponent will break as soon as he pokes.

And now based on the lack of defense, Arsenal dare not press forward, resulting in an extremely weird stalemate.

The professor couldn't sit still anymore, he stood on the sidelines, frowning and looking at the back line.

He never thought that Arsenal would enter such a weak defense after leaving Alexander Song.

The offense of a team like Sunderland can even break Arsenal's goal.

It's just a joke.

But we have to face up to the problem.

The defensive midfielder position does have defensive problems.

Arteta's defense is not so active, and Diaby's performance is even less commendable.

Cazorla's performance was okay, but he rushed too far ahead and didn't have time to retreat.

At this time, Arsenal lost the ball again in the frontcourt, and Sunderland began to counterattack.

Sunderland midfielder Larsson took it for a quick dribble.

But when he came near the middle circle, Arteta and Diaby both moved, but stopped soon.

After watching Larson enter their own half, the two who missed the opportunity could only watch the ball pass between them and arrive at the feet of Campbell on the left wing.

Arsenal's defense is fried again.

Gibbs rushed over in a hurry, but the opponent changed directions continuously and fell to the ground, taking advantage of the opportunity to complete the inside cut.

Mertesacker shoveled fiercely before the opponent entered the penalty area.

Even with the ball directly overturned.

"Brace yourself!! What are you all doing?!!"

Vermaelen roared angrily.

He didn't understand what the defensive midfielders were thinking, didn't stick the ball up, and just watched the opponent pass to the backcourt?

Arteta and Diaby also looked embarrassed.

At this time, the on-site commentary was also angry.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Move! Use your legs to run!!"

"Do you think you can make the other party stop just by looking at it?!"

The anger of the live commentary was rendered to the fans.

They also cursed in the stands.

"Go up! What the hell, what are you thinking?"

"Poor defense! You have no fighting spirit at all!!"

"Go up! Arteta! Go up! Diaby!!"

"What's going on in your head? Defense!!!!!!——"

Arsenal fans are outraged.

They never thought that Alexander Song's departure would cause such a situation.

Last season, they kept scolding Alexander Song for not defending.

This season, the guy is finally gone and Arsenal's defense is like shit!
At this moment, they suddenly missed Alexander Song's defense.

But the more this happened, the angrier they became.

To them, Song is a defective product.

And now that the bad stuff is gone, Arsenal's defense has gotten worse.

Hell! !
