Chapter 94: Old Coach Returns

With two goals ahead, Lucky's task is basically completed.

Lucky was replaced just five minutes into the second half.

Lucky's end also made Nottingham Forest fans breathe a long sigh of relief.

Lucky high-fived Odegaard on the sidelines before leaving the field.

"Go and take a rest!"

Mourinho hugged Lucky and immediately urged Lucky to rest.

If he wasn't the captain and needed to bring in new players, he wouldn't have the heart to let Lucky play in the FA Cup.

After all, the next league and Champions League will need Lucai to play a sufficient role.

Lucky returned to the bench and sat down, looking towards the stadium.

The little guys have found the rhythm of playing football, and with veterans like Cech sitting in and reminding them, Arsenal will not lose their advantage in an instant.

After Lucky came off the field, Arsenal encountered some minor troubles in the midfield, but they were quickly solved by Xhaka.

Xhaka is fully capable of playing the main role, but in terms of the strength of Arsenal's first team, he is still a little behind.

But Xhaka's role in the midfield is still extremely stable.

Based on this point, Odegaard can also receive the ball frequently.

At first, Odegaard was not so adaptable, but as his cooperation with Saka deepened, a tacit understanding between the two gradually formed.

There is constant trouble happening along the side roads of Nottingham Forest.

Even if Lucky goes off, Arsenal still has the advantage on the field.

This also made Lucai slowly breathe a sigh of relief and began to watch the game with confidence.

Soon, the 90-minute game was over.

After Lucky came off the field, the score did not change at all, but Arsenal's number of shots increased greatly based on Odegaard's performance.

After all, Lucky still prefers stability. Lucky will not try many uncertain passes.

But Odegaard is just the opposite. He wants to seize every opportunity and create conditions if there are no conditions.

In this case, Arsenal's offense was suddenly opened up.

Nottingham Forest was bombarded by Arsenal throughout the second half, and they also defended the entire second half.

Arsenal's offense forced them to defend and had no time to think about anything else.

By the time they came to their senses, the referee had already blown the whistle to end the game.

Arsenal successfully advanced to the next round.

"This is a good start. Winning the first FA Cup game is the result of your efforts. You can enjoy this feeling of victory!"

In the locker room, with Lucky's words, every little guy's face was filled with smiles.

Although they did not defeat any strong team, for most people, this was their first starting victory at Arsenal, which was of great significance to them.

On the return bus, the little ones sang songs happily and made a fuss all the way.

After returning to the training base, Mourinho asked Lucai to go home and rest first, while the others followed him to the tactics room for a post-match summary.

Lucky was also a little tired, so he also drove home.

There was nothing to say all night. When Lucai returned to the training base the next day, the first-team players were also training one after another.

"Good morning!"

Lucky greeted Wilshere who was tying his shoes.

Wilshere turned around and said: "Did you watch the Bundesliga game yesterday?"

Lucky was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "No!"

Wilshere said solemnly; "Laiwan! Another highlight of five goals!"

"Nine minutes?" Lucai frowned.

Wilshere shook his head and said: "Ten minutes!"

Lucky pursed his lips.

Although it was one minute behind, it also showed how hot Laiwan and Bayern Munich were.

Bayern is Arsenal's opponent in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

The two sides are already old rivals in the Champions League and they are familiar with each other.

Bayern has made a series of big changes.

Ram retires!

Franck Ribery and Robben have also retreated to the second line, which also means that the older generation of Bayern players have basically withdrawn from the first line stage.

Now active on the court are the new generation of players represented by Muller.

These people are basically the team that won Germany's championship in the 2014 World Cup, and they are all very capable.

The most important thing is that Bayern has shown amazing energy after experiencing turmoil.

At the beginning of this season, coach Ancenotti was fired by Bayern due to poor results. Assistant coach Sagnol briefly took over the team, and soon the meritorious coach Heynckes returned as the firefighting coach.

After Heynckes came back, he immediately reorganized the team. In just 3 rounds, Bayern once again performed amazingly.

Many people say that the arrival of Heynckes allowed Bayern to avoid the collapse of the season.

At the same time, they also hope that Bayern can achieve the same great feat of winning the Triple Crown in 2013 in the hands of Heynckes.

"Heynckes~!"

Lucky also sighed slightly.

He is still very impressed with this head coach.

After playing the Champions League with Bayern, Heynckes poached Wenger in front of him, almost causing Wenger to go berserk.

Mu Rong doubts that based on football, this is an excellent head coach, but can he still be as energetic as before?

After all, under the pressure of the league and the Champions League, it requires a lot of energy from a head coach.

"Let the coach worry about these problems, we just need to ensure that we are in good condition!"

Leka pulled Wilshere up, and the two began to jog around the court to warm up and prepare for a day of training.

At the same time, Mourinho was also having a headache in his office.

He was not afraid of Ancelotti!

He was sure to get rid of this fat man who liked to chase trends.

But the old coach Heynckes was very tricky.

The opponent was experienced and not a fan of the three-center-back style.

Since Heynckes's comeback, Bayern almost gave up the three-center-back style.

From a certain perspective, Heynckes and Mourinho's tactical concepts are very similar.

Defense is the key!

On the basis of defense, attack and radiate the midfield.

The difference between the two lies in the application of specific tactics.

The most important thing is that Heynckes is correcting Bayern's unwanted problems.

Since Guardiola, Bayern Munich has started to play with passing and controlling, which is like a rough man picking up an embroidery needle, which looks awkward no matter how you look at it.

The same is true for Ancelotti and others afterwards.

Even the German national team coach Loew was affected.

It can be said that there are few people in the current football world who are not affected by the passing and control, and think that this is the right way.

But after Heynckes coached Bayern, he threw away the "embroidery needle".

Restarted the German hard-line offensive system.

And Bayern Munich, who found a familiar way of playing, quickly showed their performance, creating another crazy goal show for Lawan.

It can be said that Heynckes's contribution is very great.

This is also one of the reasons why Heynckes has become Bayern's most popular coach.

He can always turn Bayern Munich from danger to safety, just like this fire-fighting coach, who proved his ability with his performance as soon as he appeared.

For Mourinho, Bayern is indeed strong, but Bayern in Ancelotti's hands is not so daunting.

But after Heynckes returned, the problem became serious.

"What a pile of shit!"

Mourinho rubbed his hair irritably.

He was very annoyed by the large amount of work that appeared for no reason.

In other words, he hates this kind of sudden change that is out of control.

But Mourinho and Arsenal still have to bite the bullet and go up.

What about Bayern?

What about Heynckes?

If you want to block Arsenal's way forward, you can only be crushed.

Mourinho is very confident in the Arsenal he has formed.

No matter who wants to defeat Arsenal, even the powerful Real Madrid will knock out a mouthful of teeth!

And Mourinho is also very clear.

Facing Heynckes' Bayern Munich, it is difficult to restrain them with tactics.

The only way is to use the strength of the lineup and the state of the players, and to use performance to go hard.

It depends on who performs better.

It depends on who has a higher degree of tacit understanding!

Mourinho has great confidence in this.

Arsenal has formed enough tacit understanding in the running-in last season.

And Lukaku and Giroud, two center forwards with different styles, have also given Arsenal a lot of tactical changes, which can make Bayern Munich drink a pot.

Compared to Bayern, Arsenal has more advantages on paper!
