If Yello has now gained the favor of the players in the Arsenal dressing room.

Then next.

What Yello brought to Arsenal's players was shock.

The physical test will end soon.

Ye Luo ranks first in all three major categories: speed, physical fitness, and strength!

Although some players have not yet returned to the team.

But the Arsenal players know it too.

Based on the data Ye Luo has shown, even if the players who returned to the team come back, they still can't surpass him!

What kind of monster is this?

Could it be that it popped out of an alien planet?

After the Arsenal players finished with their bodies, they looked at Ye Luo like they were monsters.

Speed, stamina, strength.

It’s not unusual for any of these three items to rank first.

But to say that all three are number one

That's really counterintuitive.

But now Ye Luo's side data is in front of everyone.

This cannot be faked.

During the 4*10 meter return run, Ye Luo had finished the last return run, and most of the players still had one round to finish.

In the face of such data.

Arsenal's players were completely convinced.

They originally had doubts about Ye Luo's physical condition, but now it seems that they thought too much.

Such Ye Luo is very healthy.

And after getting the players' side data.

The team's coaches began to gather together to discuss the training plan for each player.

Colin Muller, a member of the coaching staff and a sports scientist, exclaimed after looking at Yelo's physical test data: "I think Yelo is completely physically prepared for the new season. Most of his physical training plan can be cut. Just keep the basic physical recovery training.”

"In this way, we can allow him to participate more in the team's joint training and allow other players to catch up with his rhythm faster." Steve Black, the team's chief assistant coach, said.

"That's right, as long as Ye's health is fine, no matter what lineup we field next season, he will be the core on the court." Technical analyst Pierre Carobet said, rubbing his chin.

Wenger looked at Ye Luo's physical test report as if looking at a treasure, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

"As for Ye Luo's training plan, most of the physical and strength training will be cancelled, and it will involve more teamwork exercises, so that other players can have a certain tacit understanding and cooperation with Ye Luo as much as possible."

Wenger put down the side report in hand and said.

In the next few days, Ye Luo always arranged different players around him to try different midfield and frontcourt combinations.

Arsenal's players know why.

That is to say.

Whoever can compete with Ye Luo more closely will get more playing opportunities in the new season!

Thus.

Yello's status in Arsenal's dressing room is almost transcendent, he is the core of the team's tactics on the field.

Wenger also told Yeluo that he hopes he can use the more than one month of pre-season time to complete the run-in with the whole team as much as possible.

This is reflected in the team's training matches. Yelo began to pass more passes and move to let his teammates get used to his rhythm. At the same time, he also completed the understanding of other players on the team in the process.

As players who participated in the European Cup gradually returned.

A week later.

The Arsenal team boarded a plane to the United States to participate in this year's International Champions Cup.

The International Champions Cup is a pre-season brand that has emerged in the past two years, and many big-name teams will participate.

It is divided into North American arena and Asian arena.

However, Arsenal have rarely participated in the International Champions Cup before.

Because Arsenal has its own pre-season warm-up cup - the Emirates Cup.

However, this year due to the London Olympics, the Emirates Stadium was requisitioned as the venue for the Olympic football competition.

So this year’s Emirates Cup is cancelled.

As a result, Arsenal was invited by the International Champions Cup to participate in this commercial event that many wealthy teams will participate in.

This year's International Champions Cup also invited many wealthy teams, including Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Juventus and other teams in the North American division.

Arsenal will face Bayer Leverkusen, Real Madrid, Juventus, and the local team Los Angeles Galaxy in the North American Division.

When Arsenal's plane landed in New York, a large number of fans had gathered around the airport.

Most of the fans come for Ye Luo.

In addition to local Chinese fans in North America, there are also a considerable number of local fans - football is not as popular in the United States as football, baseball and other sports. However, with the influx of a large number of Latin American immigrants into the United States, football has The popularity of sports is also on the rise.

In recent years, the International Champions Cup has also gained a lot of popularity in the United States.

Last year, when Real Madrid and Manchester United played in Los Angeles, more than 80,000 fans poured into the stadium to watch the game.

The "box office results" can be said to be quite good.

In fact, there may not really be that many football fans in the United States.

However, sports in the United States are largely a "social activity."

People who come to watch the game may not really understand football, but they mainly come to join in the fun.

Since they are just joining in the fun, then whoever is famous must be joining in the fun.

This is why last year's commercial match between Real Madrid and Manchester United in the United States sold more than 80,000 tickets.

When the Arsenal players walked out of the airport, they were all stunned by the scene in front of them - Arsenal is also a well-known team, but when had they ever seen such a scene?

A large number of fans wearing Yello's Arsenal No. 10 jersey cheered Yello's name at the airport.

Many of the bold and unrestrained Ocean Horses took off their jerseys directly, with their car lights shining.

Later, local media in the United States reported that Arsenal received a warmer welcome in the United States than Real Madrid, and the reason was only because of Yello!

Yello's crazy performance last season, coupled with his handsome appearance, quickly made him a new generation of football idol.

As a result, Arsenal has been treated like a super giant like Real Madrid.

After coming to the United States, in addition to training, Arsenal also needs to participate in some business activities - in fact, this is the reason why many head coaches are resistant to playing commercial games abroad.

This will cause a certain degree of disruption to the team's pre-season training.

But now football and business are deeply bound, and no professional team can avoid these things.

Of course what fans care about is the team's competitive state.

The first game in the United States was against Bundesliga team Bayer Leverkusen.

Many fans were looking forward to Yeluo's performance in this game.

But everyone can see that Yeluo didn't exert much force in this game. He just moved, caught and passed the ball in the midfield.

And he only played half the game, didn't score a goal, but he did have an assist.

In the second half, both sides made large-scale substitutions of 11 people for 11 people - this is a commercial game, there are no restrictions on substitutions, and the rules are negotiated by both parties.

The final score of the game was 2-2, with Arsenal and Leverkusen tied.

After the game, many media were talking about Yello's performance.

"Is Ye Luo not exerting force or unable to exert force?"

"Is there really something wrong with your body? Do you need to transform?"

"In this game, Yelo was the player who passed the most passes in the game, but he had almost no active physical confrontation!"

"Obviously, he is avoiding confrontation!"

Many media outlets have made this judgment.

[Manchester Evening News] reporter Samuel Luckhorst wrote on Twitter: "There is an interesting statistic. Yelo, the dribble king in the past two seasons, did not make a single dribble breakthrough in this game. Yes! Not once!”

His remarks made many Manchester City fans breathe a sigh of relief - we at Manchester City finally did not become clowns! We did the right thing by returning Yeluo! There must be something wrong with his body, otherwise why would the king of overachievers fail!

have to say.

Media reporters are really good at brainstorming.

The reason why Ye Luo plays like this is entirely due to the request of the coaching team. They require Ye Luo to break into a tacit understanding with other players as soon as possible, pass the ball more, and look for more cooperation in the game, so Ye Luo will Choosing such a style of play is not because he can't pass people - it's just a warm-up match anyway, the result is not important, the key is to get used to it. Ye Luo's style of play is also to understand more about his teammates' catching, It’s just a habit of moving.

However, after this game, when Ye Luo saw these reports, his heart moved and he took the initiative to find Wenger.

"You said...you want to give these media a...surprise?!"

"That's right, boss, I'm looking forward to the first round of the season." Ye Luo said with a wink.

Wenger burst into laughter.

Their opponent in the first round of the Premier League is Liverpool.

Who did Liverpool provoke?

If they had believed the media's nonsense, they would have died miserably.

The opponent in the second game of the International Champions Cup is Real Madrid.

Ye Luo is very familiar with this opponent.

However, he still did not exert force, but used skillful running and passing to organize the team. This style of play made Arsenal and Real Madrid evenly matched. At the end of the first half, the two sides Arsenal lead 2-1.

However, in the second half, after both sides removed their starting main players and replaced them with substitutes, reserves, and youth team players, the gap between the two teams became apparent.

Real Madrid scored two goals in the second half to reverse the game.

Arsenal eventually lost to Real Madrid 2-3.

Two warm-up matches, one draw and one loss, not to mention the media, even Arsenal's own fans were murmuring.

But do you think Ye Luo's performance is not good?

When he was on the court, Arsenal once dominated Real Madrid.

But is this what fans want to see?

Definitely not.

Because the image that Ye Luo brings to the fans is his sharp breakthrough and unreasonable scoring ability.

No goals scored in two games now.

Although he had two assists, although he passed a lot of passes, even though Arsenal seemed to play very well and orderly when he was on the court.

But this is not the Ye Luo that fans want to see!

"Is there really something wrong with Ye Luo's health?"

It's a thought that lingers in the minds of many Arsenal fans.

He originally thought he had introduced a hot spot, a super scorer, but now he has become a passer.

Although passing the ball is also very important, it is not as refreshing as being a super scorer.

Even Arsenal fans think so.

Fans of other teams and the media are of course even more imaginative.

In the next two games, Ye Luo still played like this.

Arsenal's results were one draw and one win. In the end, Arsenal's four warm-up games in the United States had one win, two draws and one loss. The winning game was against the American League team Los Angeles Galaxy.

Such results really worry Arsenal fans.

And after playing these four games.

The team took a flight back to London.

The first round of the Premier League is about to start in one week.

The team must also enter the final pre-season adjustments, and everything is beginning to prepare for the sprint into the new season.

before the new season starts.

Public opinion is naturally agitated.

The first is the signings of each team.

Manchester United and Arsenal have reached an agreement.

Robin van Persie moved to Manchester United for a transfer fee of 24 million pounds.

In addition, Manchester United has also reached an agreement with Dortmund midfielder Shinji Kagawa for a transfer fee of 17 million pounds.

Manchester United's signings are not big, but Robin van Persie's switch to Manchester United is undoubtedly one of the biggest transfer news in the Premier League this season.

The Arsenal captain switched to rival Manchester United, which has undoubtedly become the biggest topic of ridicule for Arsenal among Manchester United fans.

Arsenal and Manchester United are not historically enemies.

But because of the fierce competition between the two sides for more than ten years in the 1990s and early 21st century.

The relationship between the fans of both sides is not harmonious.

Being able to disgust competitors on transfer matters.

Of course Manchester United fans will not let it go.

And the actions of Manchester City, the defending Premier League champion, are not big either.

They successively purchased Rodwell, Maicon, Richard Wright, Nastaschi, and Harvey Garcia.

They are all signings worth around 10 million pounds.

However, Manchester City's lineup is already very luxurious, and these signings are at best some minor repairs to the existing lineup.

Another major signing happened at Chelsea.

Before the start of the season, Chelsea finalized the signing of Belgian forward Hazard. Hazard will move to Chelsea from French Ligue 1 team Lille for 32 million pounds.

In addition, Chelsea also purchased Brazilian midfielder Oscar for 25 million pounds, and also took away Spanish right back Cesar Azpilicueta from Marseille.

Liverpool has transferred two players, Joe Allen and Pollini, and also loaned midfielder Shaheen from Real Madrid. The extent of reinforcement is not too large compared to other teams.

In addition to Yello, Arsenal also has three new players in Cazorla, Giroud, and Podolski.

The team's strength has theoretically improved a lot.

However, due to the team's poor performance in the warm-up match, many media are still not very optimistic about Arsenal's season prospects.

As the new season gets closer and closer.

More and more media are beginning to focus on the focus of the first round: Liverpool vs. Arsenal at home.

[Liverpool Echo] When previewing this game, the focus was on how to deal with Yello.

"The results of Arsenal's four warm-up matches in the United States were not very good. They only defeated the weak Los Angeles Galaxy. The way Yello played in these four games was very interesting. He had almost no active physical confrontation. No sprint, no breakthrough. Although his passing is very accurate and he creates a lot of threats through passing, this is obviously not the Yelo that people expect! Maybe Liverpool can take the initiative to improve the rhythm and intensity of the game during the game. , show Yello the rhythm of the game that belongs to the Premier League!"

The view of [Liverpool Echo] is the mainstream view of many media in England during this period.

Didn't you, Ye Luo, avoid physical confrontation?

just.

The Premier League is one of the most "rude" leagues.

it's here.

It's not okay to avoid physical confrontation!

The advice given by many media to Liverpool is to "get physical for Yello".

New Liverpool manager Rodgers is also studying Yello.

He watched the video of Yello's four warm-up matches at Arsenal again and again.

"This guy didn't exert any force at all, right?"

Rogers said to his assistants.

"Is it a smoke bomb?"

"Unlikely, maybe he is really afraid of physical confrontation?" Rogers' assistant coach frowned.

Ye Luo is afraid of physical confrontation?

This sounds a little unreliable.

This guy knocked over Boateng and Dante in the air in the Champions League final and scored with a header.

But from the warm-up match, it seems that he is indeed suspected of "hiding from physical confrontation."

"No matter what, this guy is the core of Arsenal. Even if he doesn't break through, the whole Arsenal team obviously plays around him. He is the Arsenal player who has touched the ball the most and passed the ball in these games. Players," Rogers said as he stood up.

"Whether he is holding back his kicks or if he really has some physical problem, we don't have to worry about it. Anyway, the defensive strategy in this game is to give this guy a little strength!"

Rogers said, pointing to Ye Luo on the screen.

As the league gets closer and closer.

The match between Liverpool and Arsenal at home has also received increasing attention - this game is the opening game of the Premier League season.

The opening game is already attracting much attention, plus it is another strong dialogue.

So the whole of England, no, it should be said that the whole of Europe is paying attention to this game.

If nothing goes wrong in this game, Ye Luo will definitely start.

Judging from Arsenal's pre-match warm-up, you can't say that Yello's condition is poor, but it just didn't meet people's expectations for him last season.

This provides strong support for the idea that "Ye Luo has a physical problem".

However, Wenger backed Yello at the pre-match press conference.

"The warm-up match doesn't mean anything. The purpose of the warm-up match is never to win, but to get along with the team. We will find out what his condition is like when the new season starts!"

Yello, who attended the press conference with Wenger, was also "besieged" by the media.

It stands to reason.

In the first game of the new season, the captain and head coach should attend the press conference together.

Now that Ye Luo and Wenger are attending the press conference, is Ye Luo the captain this season?

Facing reporters’ questions.

Wenger gave an affirmative answer.

"Of course, he will be the captain on the field. He is now the leader of the Arsenal dressing room. The players support Ye to wear the captain's armband."

Wenger said.

"When you come to the team and become the captain on the field without even playing a formal game, don't you feel the pressure?"

a reporter asked.

"Pressure? Pressure is everywhere, but I have never been afraid of pressure. Pressure is motivation for me. I am very happy to wear the Arsenal captain's armband and I am very grateful to my teammates for their support. As for tomorrow's game, I I have a lot of respect for Liverpool, but we are here for three points. This will be the first step in our attack on the Premier League title this season!"

Ye Luo said.

"Wait... Premier League champion?" A reporter couldn't help but interrupted Yello, "Do you think Arsenal can surpass Manchester City, Manchester United, and Chelsea and rank ahead of these three teams?"

"why not?"

Ye Luo asked back.

In his mission panel. The main mission has already been completed.

"The unprecedented peak of the arsenal."
