Chapter 689 Waiting for the whistle

Time is passing quickly, and the training intensity of the players is getting higher and higher day by day, especially since many players in the team have played a large number of national team competitions this summer.

From the day the team gathered, Wenger discovered the problem of everyone's overall sluggish state, but unfortunately the date of the first round of the league will not be postponed.

What the professor can do is to start focusing on training players who do not have national team competitions in the first round of preparation after the physical training is over.

Liu Feng is naturally the focus of the professor's attention. He was in good condition all day after returning to the training base.

However, due to his busy schedule this summer, his physical function has declined compared to the peak moments of last season in the test.

Of course, even so, Liu Feng's condition is still better than that of most people in the team.

After a series of activation training, the professor was already very satisfied with his changes on the eve of the first round of the league.

As for the running-in of new players, the professor will hold a team training match almost every two days, and several players who joined the team this season cooperated and honed with different teammates.

Although it is certainly impossible to have sufficient tacit understanding and cooperation like other old team members, at least there will be no serious mistakes that should not have happened like the Temple Cup.

So, as the date continued to move forward again and the time came the day before the first round of the league, Wenger did not fall into the dilemma of unavailable people in terms of employment.

"Tomorrow, we will start a new season at home, and countless fans of our own will gather here. Are you ready?"

“Prepare, boss!”

"Very good, then I'll announce tomorrow's starting list."

This is the first game of the new season and another new beginning. The players sitting in the audience are all looking at Wenger with great energy, looking forward to their name appearing among the 11 starting players.

"First of all, let's determine our formation at home tomorrow."

With a light click on the electronic pen in your hand, the 4123 lineup arrangement appears on the screen. Obviously, Wenger still hopes that the team can play beautifully in the opening game.

"Giroud center position."

First, I directly point out the French big center who has no problems in its state. This player can be said to be speechless in terms of physical fitness and condition.

"The two wingers on the left and right, Feng and Aguero."

With the announcement of all three players, this arrangement is no different from the Gunners' strongest offensive front line last season. Liu Feng and Aguero, who were then pointed, naturally nodded repeatedly to respond.

"Front midfielder, Rossicky."

It is not surprising that Gansuo lost the starter. After all, it has not been long since he just finished the Olympic finals, and he needs more time to recover.

Immediately afterwards, the two drag-back midfielders arranged behind Rossiki were also announced, and the configuration of veteran De Jonggar Welsh midfielder Ramsey is a new and old defensive combination.

"In offense, Ramsey can insert support attacks, but you also need to actively participate in defense. As for De Jong, your task is to do a good job in the other line of defense in front of the back line."

"clear!"

The two midfielders nodded repeatedly to the professor's arrangements and explanations. After confirming that they had understood their meaning, Wenger began to announce the team's back line and goalkeeper's position.

"Left defender Gibbs, center back partner, Vermalen, Koscheerney, right defender Sania."

On the back line, Lucio and Alba, who have joined this season, have not been able to enter the starting lineup. For the defensive position with a much lower tolerance rate than offensive players, the professor decided to wait a moment before talking about it.

As for goalkeeper, the negotiations on Szczesny's loan out this season have actually reached the end of the Arsenal team, and the young player himself also hopes to find an opportunity to play outside the loan.

However, the accident happened so unintentionally. When Fabianski was injured, Amunia transferred for free and left. The goalkeeper transferred from the youth training team was very embarrassing, and the Gunners goalkeeper position was vacant for a moment.

For Szczesny, he had been waiting for a season last season and the unattainable opportunity came like this, so there was naturally no need to leave.

During the team's training, Szczesny used his performance to show the professor that he was fully qualified for the team's ability. In response, the professor finally nodded after consulting the goalkeeper coach.

"Goaler, Szczesny."

"receive!"

After the starting list was confirmed, other players naturally entered the substitute lineup. After the summer window made clear a wave of redundant staff, there are now many fewer players in the Gunners lineup who can play at least as substitutes or above.

In addition to a few new young players who have been promoted from youth training, these main players and substitutes have barely reached 22 people, which makes many people at least enter the roster even if they can't make the starter.

"I don't want to emphasize the importance of tomorrow's game for the second time. Men, we had a wonderful season last season and we were undefeated in the league. If we want this record to continue, let your opponents take a good look at your strength!"

"clear!"

With a wave of his hand, he signaled that he could disband. The professor was the first to push open the door of the conference room and walked out.

The players dispersed and went back to their own homes. The players who entered the starting list went home to rest and wait for the start of tomorrow's game. The players who entered the substitute also secretly accumulated energy and waited for the moment to appear and prove themselves.

There was no dream all night, and when the sun shone on the next day, the Arsenal players had already gathered at the training base again.

They have a natural advantage over their first round opponents of Sunderland, who have to spend a lot of time on the road.

When the Gunners' bus drove out of the training base in the afternoon to the Emirates Stadium, countless Gunners fans were already cheering in the short distance.

Two legendary seasons have ended, and gun fans have begun to look forward to a new future. As their team's buses sail into the Emirates Stadium, their eyes are full of light.

And when Arsenal's warm-up at Emirates Stadium had already begun for a while, their opponent Sunderland was late, and it was getting closer and closer to the beginning of the game.

When both sides finished their warm-up and returned to the locker room, the staff on the court carried out the last venue cleaning, all the signals broadcast by major beans were connected, and countless fans at Emirates Stadium were ready to go.

Everything is just waiting for the crazy opening whistle.
