Chapter 582 The second half of the season and the winter window
Arsenal is a disciplined team, with only one day off even for Christmas.
After Christmas, we will return to the club to continue training the next day.
On the second day, Arsenal conducted a major medical examination. The main purpose of the medical examination was to detect whether the players had drinking problems.
Sure enough, a lot of people were detected.
Arsenal's team rules expressly prohibit alcohol, especially during the league.
Of course, the consequence of drinking is punishment.
A fine of 500 euros and a certain training penalty.
Lekai stood on the court and looked at Sanchez who was running with the penalty player, and his heart was full of anger.
He thought he had guarded enough.
This guy even threw a party with his friends after the party was over.
Drink until the wee hours of the morning.
Although Sanchez is in good health and this alcohol can be digested quickly, drinking alcohol can affect his state.
Sanchez didn't dare to look at Lucky, he was really afraid of being beaten.
After all, Le Kai has made three orders and five applications, but he is still lucky.
I didn't expect to be caught straight.
Wenger will not be merciful to these players, practice hard, and there are a series of related penalties, so that they will have a long memory.
The players are training and the coaches are continuing their meetings.
This meeting is mainly for transfer issues in the second half of the season and the winter window.
After Wenger returned, David Dane handed over the transfer rights to Wenger.
"In the winter transfer window, we have to introduce some players to enrich our bench."
Since the departure of Walcott and others, Arsenal's bench has been a lot thinner.
Compared to last season's strong squad, Arsenal's bench now feels like it can't keep up with the supply.
And Arsenal's current potential stock is only one Bellerin.
"We need a lot of positions already, centre forwards. Wingers, centre backs, full backs!"
After Wenger finished speaking, he also felt a headache.
Arsenal's current situation, except for the midfield, almost all other positions have become a pit.
It can be said that the current Arsenal is relying on the midfielder to forcibly continue their life.
There is no voice in the midfield, and it is difficult for others to stand up.
Therefore, Wenger must strengthen this aspect. Even if he does not have immediate combat power, he needs to find some potential stocks.
These guys can bring enough intensity to Arsenal even after they retire.
"At this stage, there is no suitable center forward into the transfer market. In terms of full-backs and center-backs, I think they should be trained independently."
Patrice said, inside and outside the words, don't spend money, buy potential stocks to cultivate little demons.
Wenger turned his head and said, "Looks like you have some goals?"
Patrice nodded and said; "Mr. Dane has observed some young players through the scouting system before, and one of them is a good player from the Ajax youth training."
"Youth training players?" Wenger was stunned for a moment.
Patrice nodded and said: "This year, he is 16 years old, but his physical condition is very good, and he is decisive in tackling, and he is very stable in the position of central defender. It is very rare at this age. I think we can try to cultivate it. "
Wenger nodded and said, "You can get in touch with Ajax and the players themselves. If you want to come to Arsenal, you can sign a contract directly and rent it out to exercise!"
"And there is a Southampton winger, a player from Sergar, who also fits our criteria!"
Patrice handed over a document and said, "You can take a look!"
Wenger glanced down.
This is a young player named Sadio Mane.
"But you need to start fast, Manchester United seem to be interested in him!"
January 1st, the winter transfer window is about to open.
The winter transfer window will last for a month and close on February 1.
During the period, players can perform transfer operations.
Although the winter window is not as lively as the summer window, there are also many that have been honed.
Of course, the action of the winter window is generally not too big. It is time to sign up for the Champions League. The league is halfway through, and most teams will not send their main players out to make a big transfer operation, so basically The usual discussion of minor repairs.
Wenger is interested in Mane, but his interest is not particularly large.
He prefers Mahrez to Mane, who has yet to prove himself.
After all, Leicester City's performance is so good, and there are many concerns focused on Mahrez.
It will take a lot of work for Arsenal to introduce Mahrez, and it is not clear whether it will be successful.
In this case, Wenger intends to prepare both hands.
Mane is here to see if he can cut the mess quickly and get the transfer directly in the winter window. Southampton has some serious financial problems recently and needs to repay part of the loan. It is not that there is no possibility of selling players to raise funds, so it depends How much did Arsenal give!
In addition to Mane, Arsenal will focus more on young players.
And this young player is mostly between 16-18.
Arsenal's addiction has started to commit again!
But also understandable!
After all, you can become addicted to this kind of thing!
How much was Cesc Fabregas worth and to what extent did Arsenal train him?
Although the ending is not beautiful, isn't there a next one?
Lucky!
This is definitely a living sign of Arsenal and Wenger's vision!
Currently the top midfielder core player in Europe!
It can be said that as long as Arsenal reveal that they want to sell Lucky, a large number of clubs will line up to send money to Arsenal!
This is how hot Lekai is in European football.
After continuously developing players of this level, it is very difficult for them to break out of this mode.
To be small and big!
Single ride becomes a motorcycle!
Isn't this fragrant?
To this end, the combination of two Arsenal players + a senior + Patrice went to the Ajax club in the Netherlands to discuss the issue of Arsenal's future central defender.
On the other hand, the first team has not changed much, especially the main force.
A few of the substitutes went out on loan at Wenger's behest.
However, the immediate combat powers like Campbell and Flamini still remain.
After entering January, the FA Cup will also start.
Arsenal's third-line combat journey is about to start.
Of course, for Wenger, the league is where the main focus is.
The Champions League is naturally good, and Wenger also wants to win the Champions League.
But with Arsenal's current state, can they really win the Champions League again?
Wenger doesn't think so.
Arsenal have too many problems compared to last season.
Although there were some problems last season, they were well hidden under the support of the tactical system.
After entering this season, in the case of declining state, the gradually exposed problems cannot support Arsenal to go too far in the Champions League.
Of course, Wenger still has to give it a try.
After all, this is the Champions League, it is not about giving up.
Anyway, Arsenal's current first task is to qualify for the Champions League, and the second task is to win the league.
It is difficult to move forward in the tragic Champions League, but the league is not completely impossible.
As for the FA Cup, after winning the Champions League, Wenger is really not interested in it.
This is at best a consolation champion with no real meaning.
This is his last season in charge of Arsenal, how can he bring something to it.
The Champions League is out of reach, and the league can still be fought.
Between December and January, Arsenal played a total of four rounds.
Two wins, one draw and one loss.
The grades are not particularly embarrassing, but they are not particularly good either.
At least not up to the level expected by Wenger.
In the game against Southampton, Arsenal should have won, but in stoppage time, with Southampton's constant running in the frontcourt, they finally created a chance, which was passed by Mane to The centre-forward scored the equaliser and Arsenal were eventually tied on the road.
And after this game, Wenger also showed some interest in Mane.
Although it is not the kind of fancy technical flow that he likes, Mane's hard work and hard work make him a little moved.
And Mane's ability to break through Lucky's defense is not just an accident, this guy has the ability to see the weaknesses of the opponent's defense.
After this draw, Arsenal went to Anfield to challenge Liverpool.
Liverpool is playing with a revenge mentality in this game, and everyone has a strong will to fight.
is a reorganization that has been completed under Klopp's price adjustment. Van Dijk has been promoted to the main force. With this guy's stable defense, it is difficult for Arsenal to break the opponent's goal.
Of course, the same goes for Liverpool.
Salah and Chen slow are about to break their legs!
The two sides were deadlocked until the last minute of the game.
At the almost countdown stage, Liverpool stole the ball and launched a quick counterattack when Luckey didn’t have time to return to the defense.
Chen slow ran at full speed and directly pierced the flank. His speed was astonishing.
After the bottom of the flank, Chen slow did not pass the ball, but hit the wall with Henderson and passed through Koscielny's crotch to Salah to complete the goal.
Liverpool finally got their revenge at home!
Although it was not a big win, it also made Liverpool players extremely happy.
