Chapter 21: Two Championships Before the Season
In the second half, in the 55th minute, Arsenal made substitutions early.
After seeing Valencia make direct substitutions and send young players to train, Arsenal also made substitutions decisively.
Lukay and Aubameyang left the field.
Saka and Odegaard came on the field.
When Lukay left the field, he received applause from almost all the fans.
Lukay's performance in this game was still extremely outstanding.
Although there was only one penalty kick, his connection and organizational ability in the midfield made Arsenal play very easily.
Eriksen's performance became extremely stable based on Lukay's ability.
Even commentators from other countries said that Lukay was activating Eriksen, and many of Eriksen's problems and weaknesses were completely eliminated by Lukay's strong performance.
After leaving the field, Lukay took off his wet jersey and wiped his body with a towel.
Although the weather was not particularly hot and humid, the air was a bit humid, which also caused him to sweat a lot.
After a simple wipe, it immediately became cool after the gentle breeze.
After drinking a sip of ice water, Lekai looked at the court again.
Although he was off the court, Arsenal still controlled the situation of the game.
Eriksson's performance was still very active. After the first half of the game, he had already played with confidence and was in an excited period.
Eriksson's outstanding performance also made Arsenal the beneficiary.
Under continuous organization and advancement, Arsenal's offensive was like a tide, hitting the opponent's defense again and again, and it was only a matter of time before they scored.
Now, Lekai can be completely relieved.
"Winning this championship is the second championship of the season!" Buffon smiled and looked at Lekai.
Lekai nodded and said; "This is just the beginning, the next is the key!"
After the league starts, there will be many changes in the long season.
Last season, they were able to survive smoothly without any injuries, but this does not mean that this season can be the same.
Although they will carefully adjust their status, they still have to maintain enough concentration.
The game is still going on, but with Arsenal firmly in control of the rhythm, Valencia still doesn't have many opportunities to counterattack.
The young players of Valencia are the most painful.
Many of them encountered a strong team like Arsenal in their first game.
This is a big blow to their confidence.
Before ten minutes had passed, these young people became confused and had no idea how to play.
This is a typical case of playing stupidly.
In this regard, the coach of Valencia also shook his head slightly.
"I don't think Marcelino made a correct substitution choice. In fact, this kind of game is not friendly to young people. It may destroy their confidence. It may be a huge blow to them to encounter a team like Arsenal when they just entered the professional league!"
The Spanish commentator commented.
A suitable opponent is important for the growth of young people, but Arsenal is too strong.
You can't beat the main players, let alone these young people, and the psychological construction is obviously not up to standard.
The game finally lasted to 90 minutes.
But before that, Arsenal scored two more goals.
They were Giroud and Mane, who assisted each other, and both attacks were initiated by Eriksen through clever escape.
In the final injury time, Arsenal finally slowed down the pace.
The score of 4:0 was enough, and they didn't have to keep staring at each other.
Valencia had lost all confidence at this time, and didn't even want to play. They wanted to go off the court to rest.
This also made the last few minutes garbage time.
The referee blew the whistle decisively, and the game ended.
Arsenal defeated Valencia to win the European Super Cup.
This is also Arsenal's second championship this season.
Before the season started, Arsenal won two championships in a row, which made the overall morale reach its peak.
This is a huge confidence boost for players and fans.
Even Eriksen has the same mentality. He feels that he has become extremely powerful now and he can challenge any opponent.
In the end, Arsenal won the European Super Cup trophy in Istanbul.
They also started their new season with two championships.
In the evening, the whole of Europe was reporting the news.
"Arsenal 4:0 Valencia, this is a controlled game!"
"A helpless game, Valencia encountered huge problems.
"Control 90 minutes, this is the way the Gunners play!"
At this moment, everyone became a helper to praise Arsenal.
But they also know that Arsenal this season may be a monster team.
Its intensity is even higher than last season!
At the same time, many players in the Arsenal team have also become the focus.
In addition to the daily praise of Lucky, Eriksen has also become a major topic player at present.
"Eriksen's state in Arsenal has exploded, thanks to the support of the midfield for him, and also has a tactical tilt!"
"Tottenham's Eriksen needs to bear too much, which in turn limits the performance of the Danish midfield. After coming to Arsenal, he took off the responsibility of defense and started to attack full-time, and his offensive ability also got a big explosion."
"Of course, there are better teammates and strong defensive midfielders to support him!"
"Eriksen in Tottenham and Arsenal are two different people. I think the Danish midfielder will have a big explosion this season!"
A reporter named Jason from the London Sports Daily made such an evaluation.
He is a fan of Eriksen himself and has also been paying attention to him during the Tottenham period.
Now, after seeing Eriksen's performance in Arsenal, he can no longer hold back the excitement in his heart and started to write reports.
Just like his report, Eriksen's state in Arsenal has ushered in a big explosion.
This also reflects the support ability of a good defensive midfielder for the offensive midfielder.
Kante is an excellent defensive midfielder, let alone Lukay.
Even if Eriksen is weak, Arsenal can still come up with a stronger Lukay.
So, Arsenal doesn't know how to lose in the midfield this season.
Even if you kill Eriksen, there will be another Lukay who is more difficult to deal with.
It's like after you've worked hard to beat a boss, there's a bigger boss that's even harder to beat.
Eriksen's arrival has greatly improved Arsenal's system.
It's also made other teams even more worried. After all, Arsenal, which was already difficult to beat, now seems to be unbeatable.
When any team faces Arsenal, they have to ask themselves, can they really beat Arsenal's midfield?
If they can't beat them, it's equivalent to losing the rhythm, and an Arsenal that controls the rhythm is despairing to imagine.
If they're lucky enough to beat them, how should they deal with Arsenal's high-pressure and midfield strangling tactics?
The problem is so headache-inducing.
In a recent interview with Mourinho, the reporter asked Mourinho how he would solve this tactic if he played against Arsenal.
In response, Mourinho simply spread his hands.
'I'll wait to lose! '
This sentence has a certain show effect, but it's more proud.
After all, this may be the most dominant team Mourinho has trained in his career.
Whether in Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan or Real Madrid.
He has not achieved such a degree of success.
In the past three years, Mourinho has won everything.
In these three years, two FA Cups, one League Cup, two Premier League titles, one Europa League title, and one Champions League title.
It can be said that Mourinho has won a lot.
Seven titles in three years, full of honors.
This also consolidates his position in Arsenal. The trust of the top management and the support of the fans allow Mourinho to let go and gamble.
And this season, he must hit higher goals.
And for Mourinho or Arsenal, they must establish a dominant position this season.
Yes!
The 2019/2020 season will be a season for Arsenal to be completely enshrined.
They will achieve a dynasty this season and become a truly historical team!
