Chapter 287 Arsenal Asia Tour

"Beep!"

With a whistle, Wenger walked into the court, signaling the game to pause, and summoned everyone to him.≥

"Okay, the game is suspended, we have to adjust it, otherwise the guys from the main team will definitely not be able to sleep tonight!" Wenge said with a teasing, "zhang, you join the main team... don't object!"

Wenger smiled and stopped the protest from the substitute and continued: "Anyway, you have scored three goals, so you have won this confrontation drill! Let's enter the formal team formation drill."

Then, he took the tactical board from the assistant coach, drew a simple formation on it, and said: "Next, the main group will change to a 3-2-3-2 formation, with the three defenders being Fermalen, Koscheerny and Sarnia; the back midfielders are Arteta and zhang, and zhang are in the front position to play the back midfielder, Arteta plays the back midfielder; the front three are Ramsey, Willsheer and Rosici, and the forwards are Giroud and Walcott."

"This formation needs to be paid attention to several aspects. First... Second..." Wenger patiently explained to each team member what to pay attention to in this formation and the tactical changes under various circumstances.

Finally, he looked around for a week and said seriously:

"Note that everyone takes zhang as the core and follows zhang's command and arrangements! Whether it is right or wrong! Remember? Okay, let's take a break and get ready to start!"

After saying that, Wenger waved his hand and let the players relax and prepare for the next game.

"Uh, coach, what about us? What should we do?" At this time, Podolsky, who was the substitute, asked helplessly with his hands spread out.

"You guys? Oh, I almost forgot! You still play 4-4-2 formations, and the personnel are arranged like this, and the forwards are still you and Chamberlain..." Wenger smiled, and then arranged the substitute lineup again.

Everyone came to the training ground and took a sip of water to rehydrate while resting.

"zhang, you were so fierce just now! You are worthy of being the assisting king in La Liga!" At this time, Walcott came to Zhang Xu, sat down on the ground, and said with a thumbs up to Zhang Xu.

"Haha, Walcott, are you going to the backdoor with the future British assist King La?" Ramsey couldn't help laughing when he saw Walcott's almost flattering expression.

"Get out! Are there any teammates in a team? Do you still need to go to the back door? I'm cultivating a tacit understanding between teammates, do you understand?" Walcott shouted with confidence without being embarrassed about being called out.

"Hehe, zhang still needs to cultivate tacit understanding? Have you seen him cooperate with his teammates on the bench so well? " Ramsey scoffed at Walcott's statement, and then he asked curiously: "When it comes to cooperation, I'm really curious, zhang, why do I feel like you have played for at least one season like the team? This feeling is really strange!"

"Yes, tell me, zhang, do you have any secret?" Rosici next to him couldn't help but come over and asked seriously.

Rosici is also a veteran of Arsenal. This is the first time he has seen someone like this with Zhang Xu, and he can cooperate with the team perfectly as soon as he starts.

"Uh, there's really no secret. Just observe and then make a accurate judgment!" Zhang Xu smiled bitterly. He could only answer his teammates' questions in such a vague way. He couldn't say it out countless times that he had cooperated with them in the simulation training.

"It's really that simple?" everyone asked curiously.

"It's really that way!" Zhang Xu could only stick to this reason and not relax.

"Okay, I finally understand why they always like to call you the magical Chinese zhang. It's really magical. It can do it! It's so amazing!" Arteta praised sincerely.

Zhang Xu could only smile bitterly in response to this.

"Beep!" The rest time ended, and the tactical confrontation drill continued.

When Zhang Xu joined the main side, the original main players suddenly felt different.

Not only is the defensive pressure suddenly reduced, but the offense is also smooth, and even the midfield organization has become as heavy as light, without any obstacles!

Moreover, because of so many powerful teammates helping him, Zhang Xu's control over the game was stronger. Soon, in less than three minutes, the rhythm of the game was controlled by Zhang Xu and entered Zhang Xu's time again.

At this time, Virmulen and Willsheer truly felt Zhang Xu's unique temperament.

They have seen this temperament before, but they can only be seen in world-class superstars, such as Zidane, Kaka, Pirlo at his peak, etc., but today they saw it in 22-year-old China Zhang!

Perhaps this temperament is not very obvious or complete, but it can already affect the teammates around him, making every player who sees him feel a sense of convincing!

This temperament disperses this unique charm. This charm can attract every member of the team closely to him, and then gather all the players to form a strong whole!

Now, the players on the main side finally understand the feelings of the substitute!

Such a Chinese zhang is really too powerful! It is so powerful that it is inhuman! Well, maybe the titles of Martians, interstellar monsters, etc. are the most accurate definitions of him.

Therefore, with the help of Zhang Xu, the main force finally found the feeling of fighting against the substitute.

In less than ten minutes, four goals!

The little tiger Walcott scored twice. Will Sheer scored after receiving Zhang Xu's wonderful pass and made a shot. Zhang Xu received Will Sheer's cross and headed the ball successfully!

The main side finally let out a sigh of anger and defeated the substitute with a score of 4:3!

Wenger was very satisfied with the results of the tactical drill. In his opinion, he had found the correct way to use Zhang Xu and also found the formation and tactics that were most suitable for the team.

However, Arteta and Rosici are both thirty years old and will definitely not be able to support the entire season. Perhaps, we should find another player who can replace them. In this case, this season, his Arsenal will be a strong contender for various championships!

So who should I look for? In fact, Wenger had already chosen one in his heart, so he just waited for the other party to nod. However, he could use his national teammates to work in advance!

Of course, these are the next steps, and the most important thing now is to prepare for a trip to Asia.

This year's Arsenal Asia tour was originally planned to have three stops: Indonesia, Vietnam and Japan, playing four games, including two of Japan.

However, when Zhang Xu joined, Wenger adjusted the itinerary of the Asian tour. After contacting a Chinese institution, he shortened his itinerary in Japan, increased his itinerary to China, and would play a friendly match with Guangzhou Hengda team.

On July 12, 2o13, Zhang Xu boarded the flight to Indonesia with the team.

However, what surprised Zhang Xu was that there was an oriental face among the players who went to Asia with the team this time.

Curiously, he asked his teammates and found out that this was the Ryo Miyachi who Wenger dug out from Japan.

Japanese? Zhang Xu couldn't help but snorted in his heart, feeling full of dislike.

However, the other party was quite sensible. He walked to Zhang Xu, saluted respectfully, and said, "Hello, Captain, please take care of him!"

Zhang Xu replied lightly, "Yeah, OK!" and stopped paying attention to the other party and continued to laugh and play with his teammates.

The next morning, the entire Arsenal team arrived in Jakarta and was warmly welcomed by the Indonesian Football Association and fans.

Faced with the enthusiastic pursuit of these Indonesian fans, Arsenal was not polite at all. On the third day, July 14, they played 7-0 in the friendly match!

In this game, Zhang Xu was always sitting on the bench and was too lazy to move. In such a low-intensity game, Wenger really felt that sending Zhang Xu was a bit too bullying, so he kept calling Zhang Xu by his side and analyzed the team's formation and tactics with Zhang Xu from time to time.

That's right, since Zhang Xu has had a very keen observation and judgment on tactical play, Wenger likes to discuss with Zhang Xu and even studies the team's formation and tactics when he has nothing to do.

On the one hand, Wenger really wants to hear Zhang Xu's own ideas and suggestions, and on the other hand, he also has the intention to cultivate Zhang Xu. In Wenger's view, if Zhang Xu is trained well, it is equivalent to arranging a head coach on the court!

The head coach on the court and the head coach off the court are not the same concept at all! The roles they play are different! In a sense, the head coach on the court is often more important than the head coach off the court!

Although Zhang Xu did not play, many shots were aimed at this Chinese zhang who could talk to Wenger. This is normal. A player who created the summer transfer betting will be the focus of media attention wherever he goes.

After the game against Indonesia, the team turned to Vietnam.

On July 17, Arsenal played against Vietnam's national team.

Another slaughter! 7:1!

Although he won the ball, Vietnam scored a goal in the end, which made Wenger quite angry. He criticized every player on the defense!

Of course, Zhang Xu is not included, because he still did not play in this game.

On July 18, Arsenal's third stop was transferred to Japan.

In Tokyo, Japan, Arsenal and his group were warmly welcomed by Japanese fans, especially those Japanese female fans, who rushed towards Arsenal players crazily, and they were very imposing to eat alive if they had a disagreement.
