Chapter 10: Defensive Gate

Chamberlain came on the field first. Google search reading

Arteta was already stepping on the ball and preparing.

In the first round, Arteta broke through and Chamberlain defended.

Both of them were ready.

Lucky stood aside and watched.

Arteta is a player with extremely balanced skills. It is hard to say which one is outstanding, but there is no weak point either.

In other words, there is no obvious shortcoming.

If you have to say a shortcoming, it is that the style of play is not tough enough.

When facing a weak team with little pressure, Arteta can always show beautiful and gorgeous skills.

But if facing a tough team like Manchester United and Liverpool, he will disappear in a minute!

So it is very simple to limit Arteta, just give him enough pressure.

At that time, you don’t need to do anything, he will disappear automatically.

In the stadium, Arteta has already started to advance. Chamberlain’s breakthrough ability is good, but his defense is terrible.

Lucky can break through, let alone Arteta.

When Arteta, the Spanish player, knocked Chamberlain down with a gorgeous skill, this guy started to cheat again.

"Come again! Come again!"

Arteta smiled, passed the ball and said, "It's your turn."

Chamberlain's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Compared to defense, he is more confident in breakthroughs.

And recently, in the constant confrontation with Lucky, the defensive pervert, he feels that his breakthroughs have become more and more sharp.

Lucky also has the same idea, although Chamberlain is not a player who is good at breakthroughs.

But in the constant practice between the two, Chamberlain has grown a lot in breakthroughs.

If it weren't for psychological factors limiting him, maybe he could really become a good winger.

At this time, Chamberlain has started.

He waded with the ball on the outside of his foot and slowly approached.

Arteta lowered his center of gravity and waited for the opponent to break through.

Lucky saw that Arteta opened his legs slightly, and the gap between his legs was a little big.

It was obviously to induce Chamberlain to penetrate the crotch.

If it was before, Chamberlain would have been fooled.

But this trick has been used by Lucky, Chamberlain will not be fooled again.

As expected, Chamberlain took advantage of Arteta's excessive leg extension and kept changing direction.

Two months of training has strengthened Chamberlain's ability to change direction.

But in the end, Arteta took advantage of a change of direction and decisively kicked to steal the ball.

Chamberlain was like being struck by lightning, and the whole person stood there in a daze.

He felt like a waste!

He couldn't defend, and he didn't break through.

If he wasn't a waste, then what would he be.

Chamberlain ended up dejected.

Next, it was Lucky's turn.

"Do you need to rest?" Lucky asked.

Arteta didn't play in the game, most likely because he was injured and was recovering from training.

"No, I'm not tired yet!" Arteta said with a smile.

This made Chamberlain on the sidelines even more shocked.

Lucky smiled, then took a deep breath and slowly squatted down.

Now standing in front of him is a serious top league player.

Although he also has experience in defending Arshavin, it was only a few times, and Lekai was not particularly clear about the level of his defensive ability in the entire European football.

This is a good opportunity to test.

Looking at the serious Lekai, Arteta also put away his smile.

Patles said that the only one who could pass Lekai in the entire Arsenal was Van Persie.

This made Arteta not particularly convinced.

Just a rookie, he didn't think Lekai could defend him.

"Here it comes!"

Arteta shouted and dribbled the ball forward.

Lekai quickly moved forward and stuck to him. At a distance of three meters, he began to retreat synchronously.

Lekai has a clear understanding of his own defense.

Can't keep too far away from the opponent, it is easy to be eaten by fast players.

For this reason, he took the initiative to move forward and fight close to each other every time.

Secondly, he knew Arteta's weakness very well.

Pressure!

To put pressure on the opponent!

Lekai's defensive action is very standard, which made Arteta unable to find a good opportunity for a while.

But after all, he is a Spanish player with gorgeous footwork. He began to make frequent feints.

But Lekai stared at the ball straight, without any hesitation.

He is really patient!

Arteta made a simple comment, and then suddenly flicked the ball to the left.

But at the same time, Lekai also kicked decisively.

Chamberlain on the sidelines grinned: "Here it comes!"

Bang!

Arteta staggered, his whole body tilted, took two steps forward, and then stopped.

At the same time, he turned his head and looked at Lekai who was stepping on the ball, and said in surprise; "How did you know I was going to break through here?"

Lekai smiled and said: "Intuition!"

Arteta smiled, passed the ball to Lekai and said; "It's your turn!"

Lekai began to dribble the ball and run over.

Compared with defensive skills, Lekai's breakthrough is really not good.

The feint can be described as clumsy, and the ball protection is basically based on physical confrontation.

Finally, Arteta poked the ball out from between Lekai's feet.

Lekai shook his head helplessly.

Sure enough, he still needs to practice!

At this time, Arteta stepped on the ball and said, "Continue?"

Lekai said, "Continue!"

With the second breakthrough, Arteta obviously started to change his approach.

He actually took the initiative to stick it over.

Throw yourself into your arms?

Lucai immediately lowered his back and sat on his horse, ready to push someone.

He exerted force on his arms.

Huh?

No push?

At this time, Arteta suddenly changed direction, and Lucai was shocked.

Just a sliding shovel!

Another clean tackle!

Arteta stood there, his face solemn.

This defense really surprised him.

Even when his body is not completely turned around, he can actually make a tackle.

Although it was not particularly standard, he still scooped the ball cleanly.

As far as Arteta's current career is concerned, he has never seen this kind of tackling method.

It's like prediction

On the other side, Lucai also had a solemn expression.

He stared at his palms.

I didn’t push it just now!

He followed Patrice for two months of special training.

His body is much stronger than before, but even so, facing a Spanish-style technical player, he didn't win in the physical confrontation?

This blow was bigger than anything before.

Arteta is not physically strong, but if he can't fight against him, let alone those in the Premier League.

"You still have to practice!"

Lucky's face didn't look very good.

Arteta turned around and said, "Are you coming again?"

Le Kai immediately turned around and said concisely, "Come on!"

In the evening, the Arsenal bus quietly returned to the training base.

In the tactical room, Wenger finally said; "Don't think too much about today's game. We will train as usual tomorrow! Disband!"

The players left in turn.

But their expressions are not very pretty.

In the first round of the Premier League, they faced Newcastle United, a team that ranked 14th last season, but they were able to win even if they played away from home.

But throughout the game, they played in a haphazard manner.

He even almost got scored by the opponent many times.

Throughout the game, there were too many problems.

The defense made frequent mistakes.

The midfielder can't hold the ball and can't move forward!

In the end, the forward had no choice but to drop back to receive the ball.

It can be said that they did not play too badly!

Arsenal's main players all had extremely ugly expressions. They walked out of the tactical room in silence without even communicating.

When everyone was gone, the professor slowly exhaled and gently hammered the table with his right hand.

Boom!

It was a frustrating game today!

Boom!

There was a knock on the door, and Wenger turned around and saw Patrice and Arteta walking in.

Seeing Arteta, the professor's mood improved a lot.

After all, someone is available.

"How is your recovery from the injury?" the professor asked kindly.

Arteta shook his arm and said with a smile: "The team doctor said he will be recuperated for another two weeks."

The professor nodded. Only then did he notice that Arteta was sweating profusely. This was not the normal amount of sweat. He frowned and said, "You should recuperate instead of doing strenuous exercise."

In response, Arteta smiled awkwardly and said, "I couldn't help it, so I played for a while longer!"

Patrice on the side smiled and said, "How do you feel?"

Arteta said with a serious face; "He has a strong sense of stealing, excellent positioning awareness, and has a vague intention to intercept. If possible, I hope he can become my defensive midfielder partner."

Hearing this, Patrice was stunned.

He didn't expect Arteta to have such a high opinion of Lucky.

Wenger on the side was a little confused and asked: "What are you talking about?"

Patrice simply explained, and now Wenger became interested.

"He guarded you?"

Arteta smiled bitterly and said; "The defense is very tough, the breakthrough success rate is too low!"

When he thought about his repeated defeats at the hands of Lucai, he couldn't hold his head up.

But it’s also joyful.

Arteta's style of play is soft, and he needs a sweeper role to protect him.

Lucky is obviously perfect for this role.

This is completely a defensive gate.

The most important thing is that he felt a "desperate Saburo" momentum in Lucai.

This temperament is something he doesn't have.

And this kind of temperament can often play a huge role at critical moments.

"Not yet!" Wenger shook his head and said, "His labor certificate hasn't been issued yet."

Hearing this, Arteta was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that Lucky is Asian and he needs special genius conditions.

"Okay then!" Arteta said regretfully.

After a few more words, Arteta went back.

Wenger was sorting things out and asked, "How are they doing?"

Patrice said: "I'm making rapid progress, especially Little Lucky."

"Little lucky?" Wenger was surprised,

Patras laughed and said, "Billy gave him a nickname. His Chinese name sounds the same as Lucky!"

Wenger couldn't help but laugh.

"Arsenal really need some luck."

He pondered for a moment and said, "Let them participate in training together from tomorrow!"

Two months of basic training is almost over.

If you want to achieve results, you have to do it in group training and competition.
