Chapter 321： Warm-up match (2)

Chapter 321 Warm-up Match (2)

After the end of the trip to China, Arsenal returned to Europe again to continue their warm-up tour.

The next two warm-up opponents are Nuremberg in the Bundesliga and Sevilla in La Liga.

Since Arsenal won the Premier League, their status has also skyrocketed.

It is no longer necessary for them to take the initiative to find someone for a warm-up match, but a club to take the initiative to find someone.

Previously, Barcelona also wanted to ask Arsenal for a warm-up match.

But Arsenal gave up all teams that could be opponents in the Champions League, so as to find those clubs without any competitive conflict.

And Nuremberg and Europa League king Sevilla would be a good fit.

Arsenal took the lead in going to Germany to contact Nuremberg for a warm-up match.

In this game, those substitutes finally got the chance to play.

Because the first game was a commercial game, Wenger directly played the main force. At the same time, he also arranged for a well-known player like Di Maria to go out to play.

But this time, Arsenal are clearly serious.

All they need to do now is rehearse the lineup.

Therefore, in the starting lineup is currently the most solid lineup in Arsenal.

Goalkeeper: Navas.

Defenders: Sagna, Mustafi, Koscielny, Gibbs.

Midfielder: Ramsey, Cazorla, Lucky.

Forwards: Di Maria, Suarez, Sanchez.

This lineup is all about solidity!

The partners of Mustafi and Koscielny played well last season, and they continued Wenger's tactical policy of holding the ball. Therefore, compared to Mertesacker, Wenger is now more inclined to Moose Taffy.

As for Mertesacker, he is ready to rotate with Fernand.

Judging from their previous performance, these two are still very callers.

The two full-backs are the only positions that have not been supplemented. Wenger has not recruited a suitable full-back in a circle. Even if there is a suitable full-back, it was taken away by others.

Faced with this situation, Wenger should have been angry.

But when he thought that he had also taken back Navas and Di Maria, he was relieved.

In terms of midfield, the partnership between Cazorla and Luckey has remained unchanged for thousands of years. This is the core position of Arsenal.

As for Ramsey, he rotates with Kanter.

Although Kante performed well in the training game, it is not known how the real game will perform. Wenger still needs to investigate.

If it can really make up for Luckey's attacking position, then Kante's starting lineup at Arsenal will be fine.

The striker is currently Arsenal's sharpest attacking line.

Not to mention Suarez and Di Maria.

These two have strong offensive ability, and Sanchez's ability to stir the penalty area is also excellent.

It can be said that even without Cazorla, these three have the ability to fight alone.

The task of the game between Lucky and Cazorla is to provide enough shells!

Nuremberg fell into the second division last season with the second-to-last result in the league.

Immediately, some rectifications were made, but there was not much change as a whole.

As soon as the game started, Arsenal showed a strong pressing force.

Press from the first time of the game and press up.

At this moment, Arsenal have gradually brought into full play Wenger's passing and cutting style and his initiative in pressing from a high position.

Basically, Arsenal is unilaterally pressing and kicking. Even if they lose the ball, Arsenal will counterattack on the spot, giving Nuremberg a great sense of pressure.

Cazorla and Lucky directly turned into passing machines. Under the support of one by one cannonballs, Arsenal moved forward in three ways, causing a pain in Nuremberg.

In the continuous passing and receiving of the ball, Lekai also paid attention to the movement of the three forwards.

Of course, Lucky focused more on Di Maria.

As Arsenal's leader in this summer transfer, Wenger naturally hopes that Di Maria will integrate into the team smoothly, especially to form a linkage with the midfielder.

Di Maria is also very active, and communicates earnestly.

And after running again and again, Lucky finally understood how to use Di Maria.

Di Maria is not the kind of player of Walcott. He can gain enough advantage on the wing with his personal ability. Play freely.

Thinking of this, Lucky came behind Di Maria and motioned for Cazorla to pass back.

Cazorla passed the ball to Lucky, Lucky passed it obliquely to Di Maria, and immediately ran towards the neutral block in front.

Di Maria saw this ordinary pass and immediately retreated.

At the same time, the opposing defender followed closely.

Di Maria pretends to observe, ready to pass the ball.

Immediately next to the ball, he suddenly accelerated and sprinted, dangling his right foot on the ball, tricking the opposing defensive player to block it towards the inside.

But in the next second, the whole body pulled back and hooked the ball back. The explosive force was fully displayed, and it started to break through at a high speed along the flank.

This sudden change made Nuremberg somewhat unable to react.

But at this time, Di Maria was already approaching the big penalty area.

"Quick! Go and guard him!"

Nuremberg can only be limited by one central defender.

But Di Maria didn't slow down at all, and without any adjustment, he swiped the ball directly toward the middle.

This pass is just right to bypass another Nuremberg defender who was followed up by Suarez and scored!

Arsenal finally scored after 20 minutes of attacking.

This goal fully utilized Di Maria's ability.

Whether it is the simple and quick breakthrough ability or the passing ability.

These all make Di Maria a big killer for Arsenal on the wing!

Even Wenger on the sidelines nodded.

"It's worth the money!" Patrice nodded.

Wenger smiled and said; "Di Maria doesn't need too much care, Kai quickly discovered this problem, I think his future opportunities to pass the ball will be more inclined to Sanchez on the left!"

It is good to have a side striker who is free of worry and can create opportunities for themselves, which also makes Lucky and Cazorla spend more of their minds on other things.

For example, a child without milk.

"Here! I'm empty here!"

"Look! Pass it to me!"

"I me me me!"

Sanchez is very happy, this guy is very energetic and has a broken mouth.

He exaggeratedly expressed in body language that he was trustworthy!

And under Sanchez's tireless requests again and again, Lucky and Cazorla finally noticed him.

Lekai cooperated with Cazorla to completely suppress the opponent's midfielder, and even suddenly exerted his strength to use the wall to pass and pass the defensive line of the midfielder.

At the same time, Le Kai gave the ball to Sanchez, letting the guy face the opponent's defense directly.

Sanchez was eager to try, and now in the most familiar position, his combat power is even more direct MAX!

This guy's movements are extremely flexible, and the frequency of his feet is amazingly fast.

Even if it is Lucky, if he is not close to him, once he is pulled away by this guy, under the frequency of his quick feet, he can still only be broken through.

This is what no foresight can stop.

After all, even if the head keeps up, the body may not be able to keep up with this frequency change!

And the Nuremberg defenders were clearly in the same pain.

Sanchez slammed the full-back directly!

Immediately swiped the ball to the left, opened the shot neutrality, and hit the goal from a small angle.

This shot was extremely tricky, and got in close to the goal post.

35 minutes, Arsenal scored another goal!

Both wing forwards are doing well!

Wenger also nodded in satisfaction and immediately made a substitution.

The warm-up game is the time to test new players and substitutes.

This kind of infinite substitution opportunity, Wenger will not let go, he will give every player the same opportunity.

Wenger made three substitutions in one go.

Suarez, Sanchez, Ramsey off.

Campbell, Walcott and Kanter play.

Among the three, the main targets of observation were Campbell and Kanter.

Campbell did well in the World Cup, which is why Wenger brought the guy back to Arsenal.

He hopes that Campbell can continue this state at Arsenal.

And Kanter is expected to be even more.

Wenger is going to bind Kante with Lekai. Once Kante can really show enough stealing and interception ability, and after Lekai strikes, he will undertake the work of 'building the wall' again, even if it is just a restriction. Wenger's great investment in training!

Kante walked on the field silently, wearing a similar red and white Arsenal jersey, with the number 17 on the back, which was the number he wore in Caen, and it continued to Arsenal.

Seeing Kanter coming up, Lucky stepped forward and patted Kanter on the shoulder and said, "I'll give it to you!"

Kant knew what Lucky meant.

He nodded earnestly, this is the first official warm-up match at Arsenal, and Kante also needs to make enough performances.

Three shifts are here!
