"A hero is better than a human king?"
Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood what Wenger meant.
Yes, just as Hummels thought when he decided to leave Bayern, Arsenal's lineup has become very uncomfortable this year when Henry is old, Modric leaves, and the team still has no money to buy big names.
The main reason is that it is no longer possible to have top threats on both sides like before.
The gap between the nineteen-year-old Bell and Henry is still a bit big.
Although Marcelo is full of talent that can be seen with the naked eye, he is still only 19 years old after all, and he does not have Bell's experience of playing in the Premier League for three years, so he needs time to adapt.
Arsenal's threat from the left is reduced, and the pressure on the right will increase. In this case, like last season, Chen Mo created space for Di Maria on the right while trying to find a way to explode in the middle. The final result was very good. It may be impossible to penetrate all three roads.
But if you kick around one side.
Bell can't be the absolute core of the offense, and neither can Di Maria. Only he, Chen Mo, has this ability!
Wenger's meaning is very simple, let Chen Mo become Ronaldinho in 2006!
The team will create space for him, and Chen Mo's first choice after getting the ball is no longer to pass the ball, but to break through by himself!
So the old man wants me to be more self-centered?
The effect of playing this way is definitely not as good as last season. After all, last season was equivalent to the activation of the entire Arsenal team.
But there is no way, Arsenal's current lineup cannot support last season's style of play.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo nodded: "As long as the team needs it, I'm OK."
"Then it's settled."
Wenger nodded, stood up and clapped his hands. After everyone's eyes were focused, he said: "Boys, I know you have just returned to the team from your leisurely life in the offseason.
But you also know that our team has undergone some personnel adjustments this summer, so from today until the start of the league, we will no longer have rest days. "
As soon as Wenger said this, the players looked at each other.
It's early August, and there's still half a month until the league starts!
It was quite tiring to go without a break for half a month, but no player showed an unhappy expression on their face.
This is the benefit of a younger team lineup.
A young lineup can easily cause the team to collapse at the end of the season due to unstable mentality. However, correspondingly, because the players are still young and have not yet achieved success, they are very eager for victory and glory, so their motivation is also the stage where they are at their strongest.
However, the truth is this. Wenger still smiled and said: "Of course, I won't let you go to the gym every day to lose weight. The training volume is still the same as usual, but on the rest day we have to gather together to talk about the new season for next season." Tactics.”
Having said this, Wenger took a sip of water and glanced at everyone: "I know that many of you think that our team may focus on training after undergoing personnel changes this year, and the outside media has been spreading rumors like this.
However, what I want to tell you is that our goal at Arsenal will never change! That's the championship! This year our goal is still to win the championship! Next season, we will tell the whole of Europe what the surprise of riding a horse is! "
.
Wenger, a polite and gentle man with a quick glance, is still very lethal when he uses foul language.
Under his stimulation, the young people in the Arsenal team screamed with excitement. Let alone discussing tactics on the rest day, they didn't even want to go home!
However, not wanting to go home is what a wifeless person like Dimaria Rakitic thinks. Chen Mo still wants to go home. After all, who would hate a sexy little wife who is cooking in the kitchen wearing only a white apron.
I go to the club to train during the day, practice physical skills one day, explain tactics the other day, and go home to spend the night with my wife.
Whether it's the skills with his feet or his hands, they have improved rapidly.
In such a fulfilling and happy time, the days passed day by day.
However, compared to the comfort and stability of Arsenal, the football world outside can be said to be in turmoil.
The day after Chen Mo returned to London, Kaka and Mourinho officially announced that they would join Manchester City.
Not long after, Manchester City successively signed Barcelona abandoned player Deco, Monaco strongman Yaya Toure, Bundesliga Hamburger SV defender Kompany and Benzema, who scored 31 goals in Lyon last season!
The total of the four transactions was close to more than 70 million euros, and Mourinho seemed to have no intention of stopping, waving banknotes everywhere.
Suddenly the city of Manchester was in turmoil.
The news every day is about Manchester United and Manchester City, and then Manchester United and Liverpool. On the contrary, there are fewer reports about Arsenal. Some media have even begun to clamor for Arsenal to compete for the top four this summer.
Badmouth.
It's normal, but these media are indeed not making a fool of themselves.
This year's Premier League is indeed very fierce.
Needless to say, there is no need to say more about Manchester United. Their original team is not bad, plus this summer window of 100 million signings, no matter how strong it is.
The same goes for Liverpool. They are quiet and silent, but they have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League for three consecutive seasons, and their lineup is very solid.
On the forward line, Thomas partners with high center Crouch.
The midfielder is Gerrard, Alonso, Fabregas and high midfielder Sissoko.
In this midfield and frontcourt lineup, each position is either top-notch or first-rate, not to mention that their bench also has less-known but very strong players such as Riise, Kewell and Benayoun sitting on the bench.
As for Chelsea, although Mourinho left, the overall lineup has not changed much, and their new coach Carlo Ancelotti's style is actually similar to Mourinho's, also focusing on defensive counterattacks, but without Mourinho. Oh, so extreme.
Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea.
These three teams, except Chelsea, are all teams that have gone through several years of running-in and have received strong signings this summer.
Look at Arsenal.
Although Henry is still there, Wenger's use of Henry at the end of last season has made most people understand that Henry is about to enter the end of his career.
Maybe he still maintains a certain degree of dominance when he plays, but it is almost impossible to kill everyone throughout the season like before.
And Modric is gone.
Anyone who knows football knows the importance of Modric to Arsenal.
As soon as he left, Arsenal's entire left wing was almost paralyzed, and after Wenger introduced Marcelo, he also announced that Arsenal would not continue to strengthen this summer.
Let's go, get old, and don't strengthen. Even if Chen Mo is invincible now, football is a team sport, and the outside media is still not optimistic about Arsenal.
The media all believe that this year will be a year of rebuilding for Arsenal, especially some commentators who prefer Tottenham, and they directly announced that Arsenal has withdrawn from the championship competition this season.
In this time when transfer news is flying around in the outside world every day, and some good-faith media are badmouthing Arsenal every day, the days are passing by.
Soon, the time came to August 15, 2007.
The first game of the 2007/08 Premier League season will be held at Tottenham Hotspur’s home stadium, White Hart Lane.
And Tottenham's opponent is their city rival Arsenal.
