Henry Di Maria Giroud and others were doing warm-up exercises on the court. Wenger, who was wearing sportswear, stood in front of the crowd with his hands behind his back, while Chen Mo and Rakitic were jogging around the court.
As the captain of the team, he was fined for running laps in the first training session of the new season.
If this matter were left to some people, they would probably stop training and demand [respect], but Chen Mo didn't care much about this.
Although the outside media now calls him the leader of Arsenal, and he has even become the top player in the Premier League, he is not the kind of character who likes to create class divisions in the locker room.
Or to be more precise, one of the important reasons why he is willing to stay at Arsenal is because it gives him a relaxed and comfortable feeling like home.
How can I describe this feeling?
In fact, it’s like the feeling of walking on campus in my senior year of high school.
Relaxed and laid-back, you won't feel a little nervous or worried unless you meet a girl you like.
The reality was similar to what Chen Mo thought. Seeing him as the captain being punished for running laps, Henry Di Maria, Xiao Ma and others laughed and teased him. Chen Mo also occasionally picked up some water bottles on the ground and threw them back.
Arsenal's veteran players are used to having fights, but in Rakitic's eyes it's completely different.
"No wonder Arsenal's main players have been changing over the years, but they can still maintain such strong cohesion."
Strictly speaking, the football circle is actually not much different from the entertainment circle.
There are all kinds of status discrimination, old and new.
When he was playing in Sweden, he had seen old players asking newcomers to clean their shoes, or they had to pass the ball to the old players in training matches and games, otherwise the entire locker room would collectively isolate the newcomers.
But now it seems that with Arsenal's current atmosphere, this kind of thing obviously does not happen.
Thinking of this, Rakitic's mentality relaxed a lot.
Naturally, Chen Mo didn't know what Rakitic was thinking. He just ran and introduced to him which building was for what, where the gym was, and where the canteen was.
While chatting, it didn't take more than ten laps. Soon, after educating the newbie, Chen Mo, who felt a little happy, returned to the team with Rakitic.
but
As the formal training was about to begin and there was no sign of Hummels yet, Chen Mo's face gradually darkened.
Perhaps guessing Chen Mo's thoughts, Di Maria next to him whispered: "You were not here just now, Mr. Wenger has announced that Hummels will transfer to Bayern."
Sure enough, he left anyway.
You didn't even make a call. Are you afraid of being scolded by me?
Chen Mo shook his head helplessly.
After all, Modric stayed at Arsenal for two years, accompanying Arsenal through the trough period of reconstruction when all four players were empty, and then left, but Hummels almost came to win a Champions League and then left.
Although according to the contract period, Bayern will definitely spend a lot of money to take him away. After all, the longer the contract period, the greater the club's initiative.
Hummels left Arsenal a transfer fee of 17 million euros, which was less than 3 million euros when he arrived. The price difference was already huge.
However, in Hummels' heart, he still felt a little sorry for Chen Mo. After all, when Chen Mo invited him, the two made an appointment on the phone to create an era together.
But there is no way, the European Cup and the Olympic Games are around the corner.
The competition for the central defender position of the German international is very fierce now. There are Mertesacker, the main player of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, and Metzelder who is playing for Real Madrid.
Hummels has the Champions League, but he still doesn't have much advantage against these competitors who have been famous for a long time.
Although you may not be able to enter the national team if you go to Bayern, this is the only way Hummels can choose.
After all, he didn't think that Arsenal could still win the Champions League this year when Modric left, Henry was already 31, and Arsenal only bought a 19-year-old left back, Marcelo.
Chen Mo didn't know what Hummels was thinking. Chen Mo just felt a little melancholy, but his expression was also noticed by Wenger.
Wenger didn't give Chen Mo much time to think. He picked up a small book and read: "We will play a warm-up match next. The people whose names I read will get the red vests: Bale, Giroud, and Di Maria."
As soon as the first three names came out, the players immediately looked at each other!
Bergirudi Maria!
These are three strikers!
Bale beat Henry? !
The players all looked strange, including Chen Mo, who looked sideways at Henry, but Henry seemed to have known about this for a long time, and instead grinned and shrugged indifferently.
"Is this guy preparing to start retirement?"
Chen Mo was thoughtful, but not too surprised.
Henry's body has been suffering from major and minor injuries since the beginning of last season.
There is no way, an impact forward like him will have all kinds of problems when he reaches this age.
To put it bluntly, last year, at the age of 30, he was still able to maintain a strong dominance in the Champions League. At that time, he already shocked the commentators and media.
But, that comes at a price.
In order for Henry to maintain top competitiveness in the Champions League, Wenger basically replaced him with Bale at halftime in the second half of the league last season.
At the expense of the league, Henry's dominance in the Champions League was preserved.
In addition to injuries, another reason why Henry is now somewhat Buddhist is that he has nothing to pursue.
Chen Mo and Henry are not only teammates, but also good friends in life. Even on their days off, they often make appointments to play World of Warcraft and have dinner together.
The two communicated a lot.
In fact, ever since he won the Champions League in the 2005 season, performed a hat-trick in the Champions League final, won the Golden Ball and the World Player of the Year, and completed a career double Grand Slam of team and personal honors, Henry has actually been in a state of wanting nothing. .
As a result, he suffered a serious injury the next year and was out of action for more than three months.
At that time, Chen Mo clearly felt that Henry was talking more about World of Warcraft than football during the chat. His attention was no longer entirely focused on football, and his pleasure no longer came entirely from football.
It's just that Bell was too young at the time and couldn't stand up to the backbone of Arsenal's forward line.
Out of his love for Arsenal, Henry forced his attention back to football, but after winning the Champions League last season
This guy has completely let himself go.
Throughout the offseason, as long as Chen Mo played World of Warcraft, Henry would be online. And every time he went online, Henry would send a message asking if he wanted to compete in the 2V2 arena, and then said something like planting a flag at the gate of Stormwind City to PK without any opponent. To show off
There is no doubt that the era of the king of guns has passed.
According to Wenger's character, Bell will gradually replace Henry's position.
Hummels is gone, Modric, his former good partner, is also gone, and Henry, the big brother, has also entered the sunset. Chen Mo is a little emotional, but other players have no time to think about this.
Everyone is waiting for the name Wenger reads next.
Midfield!
Who will replace Modric? !
Nasri or Flamini?
Or is it the new Rakitic, or is it possible to play as a double midfielder like in the 0405 season, with Pony Ma and Alexander Song at the back, and Chen Mo as a single front midfielder? !
Many players were jealous, but the four people involved clenched their fists unconsciously!
