Chapter 3 Laying the Foundation of the Dynasty
In early July, Lucky returned to London.
He was on vacation for a month, but except for the first week, he was busy with business activities.
Lucky is not an ordinary player. With his popularity and multiple commercial contracts, he needs to fly around to fulfill his contracts.
At the beginning, Lucky first went to China, and after shooting some commercials, he went to Italy and the United States.
The continuous shooting routine made Lucky shout that he couldn't stand it.
However, with the spirit of contract, he still had to endure this shooting routine.
After a month, Lucky felt more tired than playing football for a season.
During the shooting, he almost couldn't laugh, but he still had to force a smile, especially when facing the fans.
The only thing that can relieve fatigue is some charity football matches.
After completing these projects, Lucky returned to London without stopping.
It's still comfortable to stay at home.
When Lucky returned home, the house was still spotless.
Although he was away for a month, the housekeeping hired by the agent would still clean the house regularly.
For this reason, when Lekai comes back, he doesn't need to do it himself.
After a simple wash, Lekai threw himself on the bed and turned on the lying mode.
Lying on the bed, Lekai was browsing his phone.
In the past month, he has been out of touch with society.
Every day, he shoots with his eyes open and sleeps with his eyes closed, and has no time for himself.
For this reason, he first took a look at the club's wait-and-see and checked the transfer issues of the new season.
You don't know until you see it, and you'll be shocked when you see it.
On the homepage of Arsenal Club, there is a big photo.
In the photo, club chairman Usmanov and Eriksson are holding Arsenal's No. 8 jersey and taking pictures.
Eriksson joined Arsenal?
Lekai sat up from the bed suddenly.
This is something he didn't expect at all, but when he turned around and thought about it, this is also a very good thing.
On the one hand, Eriksson is at his peak at this time, and there is no sign of any injury.
On the other hand, with Eriksson's performance last season, his joining will inevitably improve Arsenal's control in the midfield.
Although Wilshere is also a good player, Lukay is very clear that Wilshere's ability and state have declined greatly.
Although he is the starter at Arsenal, he can no longer be independent in the midfield.
For this reason, Lukay often plays very tired.
If it were not for Lukay's strong support in the back, Wilshere might have been blown up in the midfield.
This problem does not exist for Eriksen, although Eriksen is not a midfielder who can withstand pressure. He even chose to disappear during the Tottenham period because he could not withstand the pressure.
But Arsenal has Lukay, who has stable ball distribution and ball holding points, which can protect Eriksen from behind.
With the help of Lukay, Eriksen's playing space will become even greater.
Compared with De Jong, Lukay is more inclined to Eriksen.
At least at this stage, Eriksen can bring Arsenal stronger midfield control.
Based on Eriksen's ability, his high transfer fee is also very worthwhile.
The only thing to consider is whether he can integrate into the Arsenal team.
Next is De Ligt.
This young central defender of Ajax has ambition and some attitude.
Arsenal is training him as the future core of the defense, so there is no such thing as abandonment.
Even if he makes a mistake, he will be given a chance, unless it is a matter of principle or he is asking for death.
However, with De Ligt's character, he probably won't do such a thing.
In the new season, many old people have left, but many new people have also joined.
Among the three generations of Gunners, except for Lucky, all the others have left, including Wenger.
And now, strictly speaking, it is the fourth generation.
And what kind of rhythm can they play? This is something Lucky is very concerned about.
But compared to worry, there are more expectations.
After all, on paper, the strength of the lineup has increased by more than one level.
The next day, Lucky came to the training base.
When the equipment manager saw Lucky, he was not surprised at all. He threw the key to Lucky directly, saying that he was still on vacation and asked him to open the door himself.
Lekai is also used to this, so he skillfully came to the locker room, turned on the power switch, changed clothes, and then took out a ball from the equipment room and carried it to the training ground to start recovery training.
In terms of training, although Lekai does not have a coaching certificate, he definitely has enough experience.
In some aspects, he can even help the coaching team.
At the same time, Lekai is also very clear about his physical condition.
After fatigue and recuperation, the body will be in a cooling period for a period of time, and the overall state during this period is in a state of continuous decline.
For this reason, what he needs to do first is to activate his body functions.
The overall training is a combination of warm-up + equipment, and it must be combined with ball and no ball training.
The training content of each day is marked by Lekai, and even has certain indicators.
At the beginning of the first day, Lekai could clearly feel that his body was heavy.
This is the reaction of the body not yet activated after resting.
To do this, he needs to perform some high-load exercises to activate his body.
Of course, training is step-by-step, and he cannot directly increase the intensity. For this reason, in the first few days, Lucai mainly sweated.
Three days later, high-load training officially begins.
On June 8, under the scorching sunshine, a figure was running sweating profusely on the training field.
The continuous back-and-forth running + duck walk constantly stimulates the muscles of the thighs. Sometimes, Lucai can feel his thighs shaking, but this is a stage that must be overcome.
After gritting his teeth and persisting for a while, Lucai finally fell under a tree, gasping for breath.
"I have rested for too long and my body has been activated. I am so tired!"
Lucky muttered to himself intermittently.
After resting for a while, he got up again and started the next training.
At the same time, in the coaching room on the second floor, Mourinho stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the scene in the training ground, shaking his head and sighing.
"Aren't you going to stop him?"
Mourinho turned to Arteta and said.
Arteta said slightly embarrassed; "I tried to persuade him, but he knows his physical condition better than me, and after testing, it is indeed as he said. He is now undergoing physical activation training. Even if he does not do it now, he will do it during the training camp." project, and he was only one month ahead of schedule.”
Mourinho: "Has he recovered physically?"
Arteta nodded: "After testing, his body has fully recovered and is currently in an activated state. For this reason, he has also developed physical activation training for himself."
"Kai's physical function is great! This is the result of years of exercise, and his current condition is also very good, so we don't need to worry about these problems."
After hearing this, Mourinho nodded and said, "Then let him go."
"What's going on with Dembe's arrival?" Mourinho asked.
"His situation is very complicated. He has returned to Barcelona, but no news has come back. It is estimated that negotiations are still ongoing. Barcelona will not let him go so easily, and their attitude is also very firm. They think Dembe will come. It has to be in Barcelona.”
Hearing this, Mourinho frowned slightly and said immediately, "Let's wait and see."
Under the current circumstances, if Arsenal cannot make a breakthrough with Dembe, they will have to use Mane again.
Of course, Mane's performance is also very outstanding, which is where Mourinho's confidence lies.
What's more, under the pressure of Dembe, Mane has more pressure and he has worked harder.
A front three is great, but Arsenal is a midfield team.
As long as their midfield is stable, other aspects are secondary.
For this reason, Mourinho is not particularly worried.
It would be great to bring Dembe to Arsenal, but if it doesn't work, then it doesn't matter.
After all, Dembele has made full use of his value. He helped Arsenal win five crowns and survive a difficult end of the season.
In the new season, Arsenal has more challenges.
There are also more difficult tasks.
And all of this is a step towards ‘that level’.
The establishment of a dynasty never happens overnight.
At the very least, it needs to have enough dominance.
This season is when Arsenal show their dominance.
And it is also the key to taking a solid step towards the ‘Gunner Dynasty’!
