Chapter 53: Showing Off Muscles

drink! drink! drink! drink!

In the equipment room, there were short and sharp shouts mixed with the harsh sound of some rubber shoes rubbing against the ground.

Lucky was lying under the bench press. He was shirtless, the muscles on his body were bulging, and the veins were bulging.

With each rapid push, the sweat will shake and disperse.

In the entire equipment room, Lucky became the absolute focus.

"A week's time!"

Xhaka exclaimed with a look of amazement; "Captain, the body has adjusted too quickly, hasn't it?"

A week ago, Lucky's values ​​were still far behind, but a week later, Lucky had far exceeded the standard.

Arteta stood leaning against the wall, showing a wry smile.

"Coach, why don't you develop this training method for me?"

Zhaka said a little jealously.

Is this the right that only captains have?

"Make a training plan?" Arteta said angrily: "Kai prepares every aspect of his physical training by himself. When have you ever seen the coaching staff give him advice?"

Although Mourinho put a lot of effort into establishing the coaching staff, they are all elites in the industry.

But the position of the coach who focuses on physical fitness and strength is a bit awkward.

He can manage everyone else, but not Lucky.

It's not that Lucai is playing a big role, but the training program he formulated is not as effective as what Lucai gave him.

In other words, Lucai knows his physical condition better than the coach.

For this reason, the coach ignored it completely. Unless Lucai took the initiative to ask, he would never become this big enemy.

boom!

With the huge movement, it felt like the ground was shaking.

Arteta and Xhaka stopped talking and turned to look over.

Lucky threw the bench press barbell on the ground and was resting with it inserted into his waist.

The muscles on the body are obviously swollen, which is the result of training congestion, but some explosive power can also be felt in them.

Lucky moved his shoulders slightly, frowned slightly and said, "I have to go find Levin to relax."

Zhaka was speechless for a moment.

Relax your muscles?

Levin's massage was effective in relaxing me, but it was excruciatingly painful.

Only Lucky seems to enjoy this thing very much.

"Zhaka, are you going?" Lucky raised his eyebrows at Zhaka, and Zhaka's head suddenly shook like a rattle.

Lucky nodded regretfully and then left.

Xhaka and Arteta came to the training ground.

Arsenal has received good news recently, that is, Robertson's body has recovered quickly and has entered restorative training.

If the situation is good, then it will probably be put into competition within 2-3 weeks.

Of course, the specific recovery situation still needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.

However, this is already very good news.

Aubameyang and Kanter are also recovering well.

Martinez still has some pain in his wrist and will need more rehab.

However, a conservative estimate is that everyone will be able to return before the second half of the season.

During this period, as long as there are no too large-scale injuries.

Soon, Lucai also returned to the training ground. He came to the tactical meeting.

In addition to group training, Lucky has a high degree of training autonomy, so he does not have to hang out at the training ground for a long time.

This is also the right given to Lucky by Mourinho. After all, Mourinho knows very well that Lucky is the kind of person who needs to be stopped from overtraining. As for laziness, this problem does not exist at all.

The next game is the 8th round of the Premier League, Arsenal will face Bournemouth at home.

Bournemouth and Watford are inseparable.

The two teams were promoted to the Premier League together and stayed in the Premier League for a long time, but now they are in danger of being relegated again.

And there is a sharp decline in this state at the same time.

Arsenal had just defeated Watford on the front foot, and Bournemouth had their head on the back foot.

Bournemouth this season are no longer as competitive as they were initially.

Perhaps the edges have gradually been smoothed out during multiple seasons of Premier League relegation battles, or the enthusiasm has gradually dissipated in a long period of helplessness.

Today's Bournemouth is no longer the team that frequently created miracles by beating Manchester City at home and beating Chelsea away from home.

Bournemouth currently ranks second from last with a record of 1-0-6.

Some media have even stated that Bournemouth has locked in the relegation spot in advance. As the schedule progresses, those powerful teams will also make efforts later, and the intensity of wanting to avoid relegation or chase points will be greatly increased.

Although there have been many thrilling relegation situations in history, Bournemouth's current situation is still very dangerous.

In this game, Bournemouth want a draw.

Yes.

Facing Arsenal, they knew that it was almost impossible to win, so they only wanted an away draw.

To this end, Bournemouth adopted a 4-4-1-1 position.

Bournemouth's coach sent a full six defenders to play in this game, which clearly told everyone that he was going to set up a bus.

If it weren't for some of Bournemouth's traditional problems, they would have wanted everyone to be stuck in the penalty area.

They just want a draw.

But even so, when facing an overly hot Arsenal, all this seemed a bit overwhelming.

First, Giroud was near the penalty area line, going in and out, constantly involving the opponent's defense line, and at the same time, he also touched the sensitive nerves of the defensive players again and again.

In the difficult situation, Giroud's repeated provocations made them extremely angry.

But before they made any fouls or retaliated against Giroud, Lucky suddenly opened their goal with a heavy shot from outside the penalty area.

This was a heavy shot + refraction.

Theoretically, it was an own goal.

The ball hit the feet of Bournemouth defender Ake and bounced into the net.

At this time, Ake was still playing as a central defender in Bournemouth and had not yet been trained by Guardiola.

It can be said that the defensive network they thought they had desperately built was blasted away by Lucky, which was a terrible feeling.

Especially for Ake, the ball hit his feet and refracted, although this was inevitable, but why did it happen to be under his feet.

Ake felt very annoyed, but helpless.

With this goal, all of Bournemouth's plans were ruined, and they had lost the possibility of a draw.

This also made Bournemouth's players extremely depressed.

Soon after 7 minutes, Giroud scored again with a header, expanding the score to 2:0 again.

Now the mentality of Bournemouth's players was completely broken.

From this moment on, Arsenal's butcher knife was picked up.

At the end of the first half, the scorer clearly showed 6:0.

Yes!

In just one first half, 45 minutes, Arsenal scored six goals.

Among them, Giroud completed a hat trick, and Lukay, Saka and Mane each scored a goal.

And Eriksen completed an assist hat trick.

The gap of six goals directly overturned all the suspense of the game.

Especially for Bournemouth, their mentality has exploded, let alone turning the situation around, at this time they don't even want to continue the game.

Many Bournemouth players even wanted the head coach to replace them. They really didn't want to continue this torturous game.

Fortunately, the pace began to slow down in the second half.

They didn't attack much, and began to focus on maintaining.

After 70 minutes, Arsenal made substitutions.

Giroud and Eriksen left the court.

Lukaku and Odegaard came on.

As soon as these two came on the court, they relied on their recklessness to directly pierce the numb Bournemouth's defense.

Lukaku scored again and the score was opened to 7:0.

After this goal, Bournemouth's players were basically no different from zombies.

In the end, the game ended with the first "massacre show" of the season.

Bournemouth was slaughtered at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal 7:0 Bournemouth, this is definitely a painful result for Bournemouth, and it will also increase their performance in future games.

But Arsenal didn't care about that. In this game, Arsenal flexed their muscles and demonstrated their strong attack and goal-scoring ability.
