Chapter 293: The April of the Championship
Liu Feng's declaration was so simple and straightforward that after he finished speaking, the reporters in front of him were stunned.
I have seen confident people, but never seen so direct. Even the media interviewing Ronaldo did not hear from the former Ronaldo that he directly announced that Real Madrid will win.
This topic came out directly. Super Maple has changed a lot this season compared to his humility in Piacenza before, or it has become increasingly in line with the definition of a superstar by the Premier League media.
Strong, popular, unrestrained, confident, able to create topics.
"Super Maple challenge Real Madrid stars - we will be the champion!"
"Royce declared war on Liu Feng, I will let you understand the pride of Real Madrid."
"Murinho supports his disciple - Ronaldo is the best offensive player I have ever seen."
"Wenger thinks Liu Feng is the most talented striker he has ever coached."
...
The verbal quarrels started to fight, and everyone was having fun. With few games left in the Champions League, the popularity of another Manchester United game against Schalke 04 seemed much lower.
This may be a benefit of challenging the few strong enemies.
The first leg of the semi-finals is scheduled to the end of April, when Arsenal will go to challenge Real Madrid away. They will play away and then host in two consecutive games against the La Liga doubles.
Such an arrangement is both good and bad. As long as they can withstand the pressure of the opponent in the first round, they can firmly gain an advantage after returning to home court.
Before this, the Gunners only have to face the pressure of the league. They will play against the Reds Liverpool who are coming to challenge at home in three days.
Then three days later, we went to the away game to complete the league rematch that we had skipped before with Tottenham, and three days later, we continued to challenge the relegation team Bolton away.
Finally, it is the showdown with Real Madrid.
The 32nd round of the league has been completed, and there are only six rounds left before the end of the entire league. After the three rounds of the game this month, Arsenal, who leads Manchester United, is likely to win the championship directly.
Therefore, you cannot relax in any of these three games.
"Start up, I know your status very well, no one can be lazy."
On the training ground, Arsenal's training volume has been pulled to the fullest. In this important April, the professor had no more concerns after obtaining the data of the team's two team doctors.
In the past, this time of each season was the time when the team was facing various injuries. The Gunners' veteran players still remember the pain caused by Van Persie's direct season reimbursement at the critical moment of last season last season.
They have worked hard for almost a season but failed at the last moment, which is really unacceptable, and this is not the first time that Arsenal has happened in the past few seasons.
Fortunately, everything has become different this season. Zhang Jing's joining has added a safety lock in physical condition.
Whenever he feels a little stiff and sore in his muscles, Mr. Zhang can bring a solution, which is already the consensus among all the Gunners.
The friendship between Arsenal and Ni Ji was established through Liu Feng, and now it has been fed back to Liu Feng. With a professional Chinese medicine doctor following him, it is definitely much more effective than just soaking it blindly.
If you are in good health and in good spirits, it makes no sense if you don’t practice to death.
The Gunners' training volume has been fully increased in the past few days. From tactical exercises to personal special training, every day, from staff to players, they are exhausted and go back to rest.
It was not until half a day before the game that the professor reduced the intensity of the game and gave the players a chance to breathe. Then, he stood in front of the players and began to announce the lineup for tomorrow's game.
"Tomorrow our formation is 433, and we will use your strength to defeat your opponent head-on."
After a lot of battles, Wenger no longer needs to consider too petty tactics when the team is in full shape.
Just use the right way to fight the opponent? Then win the game? Wenger can finally try all his ideas about beautiful football again.
"Feng left winger, Bentner center, Walcott right winger, midfield from left to right? Wilshire, Fabregas and Alexander Song."
The team's midfield and frontcourt are directly reported, and players who are in the best condition or perform well in recent games and training are all on the starting list.
On the back line, the professor did not use substitutes in large numbers. Krish, Vermullen, Koscheerny and Sarnia all returned to their original positions.
As for the goalkeeper, the professor gave Fabiansky time to rest, and Szczesny got the opportunity to start.
This is a lineup full of offensives, and Wenger repeatedly emphasized the team's playing style during training and in his final tactical speech.
"Don't stick too much to the ball, try to get the ball out as much as possible. As a transit station, the midfielder starts looking for opportunities after getting the ball. I need the overall speed of the team to get faster."
Use speed to defeat the opponent and don’t give the opponent a chance to breathe.
The professor's words are very simple. A straight-shot punch is a masterpiece of the little trick, and naturally nodded repeatedly. His task in tomorrow's game is naturally to continuously deliver shells to his forward teammates.
As for his midfield partners Wilhel and Alexander Song, he also has the obligation to be responsible for midfield defense while taking on part of the offensive tasks.
After the tactics were fully arranged, Arsenal's entire team went back to their homes to rest with Wenger's wave.
They will take the bus to Liverpool early tomorrow morning.
This is the first tough battle in the next three rounds of the league. It is not easy to play away at Anfield, but the morale of the Gunners is still quite high.
The next day, he left London City by the team bus with the enthusiastic farewell of the fans. The players were very active in talking and laughing in the car.
If Wenger hadn't considered that the players might overdraw the game's passion in advance, they would have probably been able to talk like this.
Finally, when a red ocean appeared in front of the team members, the city where their opponents were located arrived.
"Hey! Hey! Roar!!! This is Anfield!"
The streets close to Anfield Stadium have long been occupied by countless Reds fans, and countless crazy Liverpool fans booed Arsenal's bus.
Faced with this situation, Arsenal players are quite skilled. They wear headphones with headphones and earplugs with earplugs. No matter how loud the booed outside, they still should do what they should do in the car.
Humans are habitual animals. Maybe there are a few players who are angry at the beginning of the season and will say something, but now they will definitely not.
Chapter completed!
