, the latest chapter is updated the fastest!

The Champions League quarter-finals between Juventus and Arsenal are over.

After 90 minutes of exciting battle, Arsenal finally defeated Juventus with a score of 4:3 and won the first round.

The first half of this game was even hailed as a crazy goal battle.

Both sides scored three goals, and Luka and Ronaldo became the most dazzling players in the first half.

Both of them carried the team forward in their own way.

But in the end, Juventus could not adapt to Arsenal's fast pace in the second half and eventually lost the game.

Of course, the whole process is not so simple. This is just a big premise. In the details and various tactical configurations, Juventus also showed that it was slightly weaker than Arsenal.

Although Juventus has dominated Serie A in recent years, it still cannot become the most dominant team in the entire European league.

Just like this game, even with the addition of Ronaldo, there was a strong guarantee in the attacking arrow and shooting position, but they still couldn't keep up with Arsenal in the use and configuration of the overall lineup, and finally lost the game.

Of course, the 34-year-old Ronaldo's performance in this game is still very good. It can be said that without Ronaldo's outbreak, Arsenal may have won the game more easily.

In the end, Juventus regretfully lost to Arsenal.

However, after this game, many media also expressed their amazement at Arsenal's performance.

After all, throughout the process, Arsenal's ability to adjust in the game, their ability to counterattack in disadvantages, and even their spirit of perseverance in victory are extremely strong.

This also makes them think that Arsenal is the most perfect team in recent years.

They can play many kinds of tactical systems, and at the same time they have the ability to break out and turn the situation around in disadvantages or even adversity.

Arsenal has continued its unbeaten record so far, and their unbeaten record is not smooth sailing, and they have also encountered some troubles.

But often at this moment, Arsenal can make some just-right adjustments, or a certain player suddenly breaks out to lead the team forward.

Lucky is the undoubted spiritual leader of Arsenal.

But in addition to Lucky, Arsenal also has many excellent teams, and their existence also ensures that Arsenal can have more counterattack opportunities than other teams in dangerous moments.

For all the fans who watched this game, they have a more intuitive understanding of Arsenal.

Arsenal can win the game steadily, and at the same time, they can also create chaos and quickly suppress opponents in chaos and fast pace.

It can be said that this is a very strange team.

They combine stability and uncertainty.

They can play like a team with extremely strong dominance and suppress opponents steadily.

But at the same time, they also have the vitality and uncertainty of young teams, which makes Arsenal even more difficult to resist.

Arsenal returned to London after winning this game.

This game gave Arsenal a lot of warnings. Although they have performed well this season, there are still many teams that can threaten them.

Just like this game, Ronaldo's outbreak and Juventus' overall tactics also caused them a lot of trouble.

For this reason, they also need to solve these problems faster.

Mourinho believes that this is a kind of sluggishness that Arsenal has extended from too many familiar environments and winning.

After they are familiar with certain tactics and systems, they are no longer willing to try new things.

For this reason, although Arsenal maintains a strong fighting power, it also closes its way forward.

However, this is a problem that any team needs to face, so he needs some guidance.

On that day, every player had an in-depth conversation with the coaches.

It can be said that after the game, the first day of training almost ended in the process of conversation.

In this conversation, Mourinho listened carefully to the opinions of the players.

He believes that this is a very necessary thing. This is the key for both parties to continue to cooperate and achieve a goal.

The whole process took a day, and a lot of documents were sorted out to integrate information.

"Lukaku thinks he needs more game opportunities to adjust his condition."

"Aubameyang said that he can get more opportunities in cooperation with Dembele, and he thinks he can deepen the connection between the two."

"The opinion of Dembele is the same. He and Aubameyang should cooperate more tacitly and try more cooperation in quick counterattacks."

"Wilshere said that his knees have been a little sore recently and he needs some rotation time."

Arteta read the opinions of the players with a focus on the key points.

Other coaches listened carefully, and so did Mourinho.

Soon, Arteta finished reading.

There were no major problems in the entire opinion, and the Arsenal players still recognized the team's current performance.

But you can also feel something in these opinions.

For example, Wilshere couldn't stand the high-pressure game and changed his direction.

Lukaku still wants to compete for the starting position.

Dembele and Aubameyang want to form more connections.

"Tell me your opinions!" Mourinho said, looking at the coaches.

Soon, everyone began to talk in all directions.

"I think the current tactics require constant fine-tuning!"

"It is also a good choice to give up a few small cup matches appropriately. After all, many players like Jack can't hold on anymore, but they won't say it."

"The pressure in the second half of the season will rise linearly, and we need to pay attention to each player's physical condition."

“In addition to injuries and illnesses, there are also some cold problems that need attention.”

"As for Dembe, can we complete the buyout!"

Arteta said suddenly.

The last sentence caused the entire coaching staff to suddenly become silent.

Dembelay performed very well in this game, and he also performed well before.

But they really didn't think about buying out Dembe.

The most important thing is that Arsenal still wants to support Saka, and if Dembe is bought out, what should Saka do?

In this regard, Arteta said: "We don't only have one wing, Saka can still get the opportunity to exercise, and he is still too young now. We can give him more opportunities to exercise, but we are not in a hurry to let him The problem with him being the starter.”

Everyone turned to look at Mourinho. After all, this was the head coach's business.

Mourinho thought for a moment, waved his hand and said, "We'll talk about this later."

Although Mourinho is slightly tempted by Dembe's current performance, it has not yet reached the level where he must win.

The most critical thing is that Arsenal don’t have that much money anymore.

They invested too much in the transfer market in the early stage, and with the pressure on loans, it was difficult to squeeze out money.

It is not impossible to buy Dembe, but it may require some salary adjustments within the Arsenal team. Most players, including Lucky, will have to reduce their salaries.

This change is not so beneficial to the current Arsenal, and it is also inconvenient to initiate.

For this reason, it is better to wait for a while.

After the conversation returned to the players themselves, it took half an hour to complete the collection of opinions from all parties.

This mission is also over.

Mourinho was not in a hurry to end the meeting, but said: "The most important thing for us now is that the EFL Cup is coming soon!"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions became serious.

The EFL Cup is not very valuable.

But that doesn't mean Arsenal have to give up.

After all, Arsenal have great ambitions this season, and Mourinho is not someone who talks casually.

Arsenal already have a Community Shield title this season and are now committed to a second title.

It is also the key that is closest to them, and that is the Championship of the English League Cup.

This champion can appear in mid-March.

As long as Arsenal reaches the final, there is a high probability that they will meet Manchester City in the EFL Cup final.

In mid-March, they may usher in their second championship.

Of course, this is not so easy to get.

Now that they have reached the final, neither Guardiola nor Manchester City will give up easily.
