Chapter Nineteen About Glory
The day after the professor got angry, the important point of the Gunners' training was on the back line.
When it was time to face a strong enemy, Wenger discovered how much impact the absence of Vermullen was.
Compared with the calm starting defender Coscheerney, the current starting defender, is better at inserting and intercepting the ball. Such attributes cannot be said to be bad, because many times the defenders who suddenly appear when the midfield defense is about to be broken can often play an unexpected role.
However, when facing a team like Chelsea that will not engage in offense for a long time and will only suddenly draw its sword and hit Huanglong when necessary, Cocherny's shortcomings of being in stable defense will be exposed.
But at this moment, the team's substitute Squillac and new player Thiago Cololi both made the professor give up the idea of taking Koscheerney from the back with a worse performance.
"Okay, let me emphasize again. You just need to guard your area safely and steadily. Except for being 100% sure, don't insert too much to defend, do you understand?"
After a few days of training, the professor stood solemnly in front of Koscheerney and gave him the final advice. The young defender who could continue to stabilize his starting position naturally nodded repeatedly.
So, when the starting linebacker was announced, there was no change in the back combination of Alba, Mertesacker, Vermullen and Alves.
The goalkeeper position is still Fabianski. In the midfield, the three-man combination of Wilshire, Ganso and Caszorla has become the professor's usual new midfield combination. Whether Ramsey can return to the starting lineup after recovering from injury depends on his own performance.
In terms of the forward combination, Neymar, Giroud and Liu Feng's three forward lines are the most deterrent offensive combination that the Gunners can now produce, and the professor naturally activated them.
433, yes, facing Chelsea, the professor is not ready to greet him. As the coach of the most successful club in the world today, he has the confidence to face the opponent in such a formation.
In fact, this formation was only dared to take it out after the professor had repeatedly tempered the team's midfield and back line. In his opinion, although there were some minor flaws, in the game, even if he lost his own goals, it would be better if he scored more goals than the opponent.
The night before the game, after the starting formation was announced, the entire Arsenal team took the team's bus to the airport. They will take a chartered flight to Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic.
At the same time, there is another team in London City, Chelsea, which is also operating overnight.
Both parties depart from London International Airport, but due to different schedules, they did not meet each other. After arriving in Prague, they went to the hotels they booked at their respective clubs.
On the storm, Liu Feng, who was in the same room as Gansuo, woke up from his sleep first. He opened the curtains in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked outside, and a city full of Central and European style came into view.
Since starting his football career, Liu Feng doesn't remember how many countries he has been to, including the Apennines halfway, the British style, the coldness of Russia, and the tranquility of Switzerland. Every time he can see something new and different.
He may have to make up for reading thousands of books and travel thousands of miles after retirement, but now he has done this.
"Get up, Paul."
He stretched his waist and pushed Gansuo on the other bed, and then went downstairs to the hotel conference room.
After breakfast here, Arsenal held a simple morning meeting and set off again to the club for the rental venue for the final training. The game time was at 7 pm local time, and they still had a lot of effort to improve.
The Chelsea schedule in another hotel is similar to the Gunners. After nine in the morning, the two teams appeared on their own training grounds.
Meanwhile, gun fans and Blues fans from all over the world began to gather in Prague.
Red and white flags and blue flags complement each other, and the Czech capital began to become lively due to two clubs in faraway London.
Fans from both sides walked around the streets and alleys and visited the cityscapes that were different from the place they came. Some journalists and media also began random interviews.
As Liu Feng’s number one fan, CCTV is naturally not willing to lag behind. As early as last night, CCTV’s photography crew and commentary were in place.
Early that morning, Liu Jianhong and the photographer began to broadcast live online, from the gathering of gun fans to the full picture of Eden Stadium. Domestic fans who watched the live broadcast also experienced the addiction to traveling abroad.
Time flies, and the sun in Prague has risen from high to sunset. When time comes to five o'clock in the evening, two buses with direct contrast tones appear on the streets near Eden one after another.
"Arsenal! Arsenal! Oh oh oh ~ Arsenal is invincible!"
"Chelsea! Chelsea! We are the iron-blooded Chelsea!"
Fans from both sides welcomed their teams. After witnessing the team bus entering the stadium, fans with tickets began to enter the court one after another.
"Okay, spectators, what you are seeing now is the scene inside the Eden Stadium. The staff have completed the rest of the venue, and the Arsenal team, who arrived first, has begun to warm up on the field."
At six o'clock local time, the entire Gunners team began to warm up under the leadership of Wenger, and the gun fans on the entire court began to cheer and sing.
It was not until Chelsea also entered the court that the Gunners only started to make a noise, because Chelsea fans also began to cheer for their team with their huge voices.
Compared with the fans of both sides, the players of the two teams were quite restrained. They had no communication throughout the whole process and quickly left the stadium and returned to the locker room after the warm-up.
"This is a final battle with a certain victory and a final victory and the last championship we can win this year. Grab him and bring the trophy home!"
"I understand the boss!"
In the Gunners' locker room, the professor's final mobilization was simple and straightforward. No player would hate the champion. Everyone's emotions quickly became eager, and captain Liu Feng also stood up at the right time at this moment.
"Our opponents have been defeated by us more than once in the league. Today's game will not be too difficult, because victory will eventually belong to us, but everyone must give their all. Even if they are not in London, this is a derby about glory!"
"learn!"
"Arsenal is invincible!"
"Roar! Roar! Roar! Invincible!"
