Although the topic of the Golden Ball Awards has also been mentioned in the Arsenal players, in just three days of preparation, everyone did not have much attention or energy to focus on this.

The professor only gave the players half a day to adjust and recover, and then Arsenal entered the intense preparations again.

Compared to the confident players, Wenger is actually a little worried.

If you work hard, then you will decline and then you will be exhausted. No team can continue to win wildly. When you observe the team that has just completed a crazy victory, you will find that they will often have a period of bad luck.

Regarding the team's New Year's Eve game against Newcastle United, the professor actually estimated that the team's advantage of one or two goals was to win against the opponent. He did not expect that the excited players won a 7-2 big score with their own performance.

This undoubtedly consumed the players' energy a lot, and this was quickly reflected in the next two days of training.

The players trained very hard and positively, but the results were very average. The professor was not satisfied with the team's formation matching arrangements for two consecutive days.

The day before the game started, the players who thought that the team would easily win the Saints this time even if they were away games, all the players were shut down.

They already had a clear understanding of their own state, and they were not the way they thought they would continue to block the gods and Buddhas. Everyone sat in the conference room honestly waiting for the professor to set up the final formation.

"Ahem."

The winter in London is cold. When he gets older, Wenger can no longer compare to his youth in dressing. Although he always likes to compete with the zippers of his down jacket, he is now really inseparable from him.

As soon as he pulled the zipper of his down jacket to the top, the professor touched the screen behind him with the electronic pen in his hand, and then a 442 formation appeared.

"In tomorrow's game, we will play ball control tactics."

The eyes were swept by the players. 2012 has passed, and Rosici, who was injured before, finally passed the recovery period after he recovered from injury and reached the level of playing. The professor's eyes also fell directly on him.

"Let's talk about the midfield arrangement first, Wilhelm and Rossicky are in the middle, Chamberlain and Walcott are on the left and right."

Violinist Rosici made a comeback, and Saints former player Chamberlain started. In just the midfield arrangement, the professor provided two themes for media reports.

"The ball is mainly controlled in the middle, and the two sides use their speed and breakthrough abilities to create threats. The main task of the four of you is to control the rhythm."

"clear!"

"Two forwards, Giroud and Feng, use your impact to disrupt the opponent's defense line. Don't set too far from the midfield in tomorrow's game."

“Understand ~”

"Then the four defenders, Alba, Vermalen, Koscheerney and Macon, goalkeeper Fabianski."

The rotation was inevitable, and the back line and goalkeeper positions were adjusted. Fabianski, who had been waiting for the opportunity, finally had the chance to start again.

After the starting lineup was announced, other players on the team's roster were also announced one after another, and players who were not on the roster naturally ushered in their holiday in advance.

After the list was announced, the professor did not say anything more. He said a few simple words to let everyone not forget to gather in the parking lot at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning and then signaled to disband.

Everyone didn't talk nonsense, so they drove away from the training base and returned home to clean up and quickly rested.

In the first half of the season, plus tomorrow's games, they played 20 games, plus the Super Cup, Club World Cup and the two domestic cup events, everyone played a lot of games.

It's time to have a good rest period, of course, everything will be after tomorrow's game.

...

Southampton, a city in the port of Hampshire in southeast England, has a colder temperature in this city than in London after winter.

After the bus entered the city, the players couldn't help but wrap their clothes tightly. After entering the St. Mary's Stadium, Southampton's home court, many players who had always been accustomed to wearing short-sleeved jerseys returned silently and put on long-sleeved clothes.

The enthusiasm of the Saints fans is quite strong. They did not boo much to Arsenal, but they never stopped cheering and singing after their team entered the court.

This made the young Saints players very useful, and the home team's training intensity and momentum were directly increased.

In fact, this showdown is actually a showdown between the second and third from the bottom in the league. At least in paper strength and media predictions, there should not be so many ups and downs.

But when the game really kicked off, everything wasn't like this.

Arsenal, who chose the kick-off, has been controlling the ball steadily after the kick-off. Rosici, who has returned to the court, performed very well for the first time. The ball control he organized has made the opponent unable to touch the ball for a time.

In the 20th minute of the game, the old Saints player Chamberlain on the left received a diagonal pass from Rosici to start pushing forward. He had a very fast speed and had the best ability to break through, and he only had one encounter before passing Lambert.

Then after Schneiderling and Davis surrounded him, Chamberlain acted to fight out of the gap between the two, but then he kicked the ball out again the moment the opponent closed the door.

"Liu Feng~ got the ball on the left side of the penalty area and went inward. Guard Cork quickly followed up, and full-back Maya Yoshida rushed over. They were about to finish the game, and shot!!!"

He is skilled and brave. Without a good person to deliver and he has a certain angle, Liu Feng's shot is both a bit sudden and natural.

"Bang!"

The ball burst out from Liu Feng's feet. His shooting movements were not big, and the ball path did not change much. He flew past Cork's right foot and then rolled over from Saints goalkeeper Boruke before he could even lower himself.

"Swish~"

The ball net was hit, and everything went very smoothly. Liu Feng, who scored the goal, stretched his index finger and ran towards the corner flag area, shaking naturally.

The other players naturally surrounded him very excitedly. Everyone kept touching Liu Feng's body and got used to the operation that he would inevitably score goals in every game.
Chapter completed!
