Chapter 38 The Change of Identity
"China Maple takes another hat trick, Super Maple sweeps the Premier League!"
"A super genius from the East, with a terrifying efficiency of two goals per game."
"Arsenal topped the list with four consecutive victories."
On the second day after the league ended, news about Liu Feng and Arsenal were already everywhere on the front pages of major football media in the UK.
Countless opponents and black fans who were waiting to watch the Gunners joke after Van Persin preferred to cut his salary and left after leaving, can be said to be caught off guard. After investing the largest transfer fee in recent years, Arsenal bought a super weapon.
Soon, Liu Feng, located in London, received exclusive interview invitations from many media.
Under Joao's inspection, he was interviewed for a short time after training, and then appeared on the front pages of several newspapers that are well-known in the UK and even around the world.
Compared with Italy, which is more inclusive of information and prefers internal digestion, the British media's publicity and dissemination speed can be said to be first-class.
Soon, Liu Feng, who made a big news in the summer window, created a new big news.
After participating in 9 Premier League goals in four league games, Liu Feng has set a new record, with the fastest record of 10 goals in 9 league games from Cantona, and he is only one offensive or goal away.
Judging from the super player's excellent goal momentum, it is very likely that he will complete this feat in the next round of the league.
By then, just like the Serie A goal record set by Liu Feng, it will be difficult for future generations to break this record in many years.
Unlike the various hot discussions outside, the atmosphere at Arsenal training base these days is far less exciting.
As a big battle is approaching, Wenger directly raised the team's training intensity to a very high level after a day of rest.
Under high-pressure training like Wenger, even Liu Feng had to spend the most energy to complete the training tasks arranged every day, not to mention the other team members.
Fortunately, in the past few days, the team has not been under high pressure. With the combination of work and rest, each player's condition has improved a lot. Several main players who did not enter the starting lineup in the last game have recovered quite well.
"Everyone should be familiar with our opponents. We had several encounters with them last season."
The afternoon before the competition, Wenger did not arrange training anymore. After getting a stack of data forms that had been investigated and analyzed, he began to hold a serious meeting in the conference room.
After seeing this grander battle than the previous three league games, the players naturally sat upright and looked at their coaches.
Wenger, who was standing under the big screen, had her eyes stuck on Liu Feng for a long time after talking about her fight with Piacenza: "But the threat they can bring to us this season is much smaller."
“…”
The other players didn't speak because they knew what the coach meant.
Piacenza lost Armani's support in this summer window and also lost their super weapons. It is inevitable that the decline in strength will be inevitable. In the two rounds of Serie A so far, this team is only ranked in the league with one win and one loss.
But this is by no means an underestimation of the team that is now mature under Conte's leadership. Last season, Piacenza's game tied the Gunners at home without Liu Feng was not long.
"According to the analysis, the two most likely lineups they are 433 and 442, and the one you need to pay attention to is center Girardino, who is a very comprehensive shooter."
Listening to Wenger analyzing his old club, this was a very interesting thing for Liu Feng. He couldn't help but wonder if he was analyzed by the professor in such detail last season.
"Song, Vermullen, you two focus on guarding him in the defense, don't give him a chance to kick."
"I understand coach!"
While setting up tactics, he is actually announcing the starting lineup. Every player Wenger has pointed to at this moment will become the main force against Piacenza.
"As for the possible appearance of Wu and Aubameyang, the two full-backs must always pay attention, especially Aubameyang, who has very outstanding explosive power and must not let him accelerate."
“Learn from the boss!”
Sarnia and Krish responded loudly, and Arsenal had not changed much in the position of full-back.
"Very good, so let me talk about the midfield."
Nodding, Wenger began to point the ball in the midfield: "The other two midfielders are Fabregas and Diaby. Your focus is on the team's offense and transport shells to the frontcourt as much as possible."
"receive!"
"The opponent's midfield is also quite difficult to resist. Gansuo and Naingran are both things you need to pay attention to. I hope that after the game begins, we can quickly gain a certain advantage in the midfield."
"clear!"
This time, Wenger's eyes fell on Xiaofa for a long time, and he could say that he trusted the beloved disciple he had cultivated.
Finally, when the topic falls on the forward arrangement, the suspense is not that big.
"We are still three forwards in this game, from left to right, Nasri, Feng and Walcott, you will be responsible for the team's goal. Remember, this is the Emirates Stadium, our home court!"
"clear!"
When the players were naturally very excited when they heard their name appearing on the starting list.
Liu Feng, who had already been angry with Girardino, was under a lot of psychological pressure at this moment. He tried his best to focus on the game itself.
"In this game, the opponent will definitely focus on Feng's main defensive energy, so both sides must take the opportunity to seize the opportunity to break through the opponent's weakness. As for Feng, you decide how to allocate the ball rights yourself."
"Okay boss."
"Very good. The starting lineup and counter-attack style will be similar to that of tomorrow. Those who have not obtained the starting opportunity will remain in good shape. I will make substitutions based on the situation on the court at any time!"
"roar!"
There are still many players with strong enough strength and core on the Gunners' bench, and Wenger's words are not aimless. In his opinion, this deep bench is a great help to defeat Piacenza.
"Then, now we disband, everyone will continue to gather here at 9 o'clock tomorrow. You still have half a day of training class!"
"receive!"
After explaining a lot of things, Wenger had no idea of keeping anyone. He waved his hand and signaled that the team members could leave.
Chapter completed!
