The game started again, perhaps Lucky's roar had a little effect.

The substitute team started to make noises.

Of course, it mainly came from Chamberlain's roar with a hint of crying.

"Give me!!"

"mine!!!"

"sorry!!"

This idiot was yelling so hard that tears were streaming down his face.

There was a hint of weirdness in the way goalkeeper Szczesny looked at Chamberlain.

How did this guy shout "I'm sorry" so powerfully?

But it must be said that after Chamberlain's actions, the substitute team became more active in communication.

Gervinho turned around and cursed: "Stop yelling! You're making my ears hurt!"

Chamberlain cried: "I'm sorry!!——"

That being said, this guy didn't look apologetic at all. His eyes were wide open and full of grievance.

On the sidelines, Wenger and other coaches shook their heads helplessly.

But their eyes were more directed towards Lucky.

Especially Wenger.

Those wise eyes were filled with an inexplicable light.

Before that, he hoped someone would stand up and say something to improve the atmosphere.

But this person is definitely not Lucky.

Lekai's roar had some effect, but after all, he had just entered the first-team and his position was low and his words had little influence, so there was not much response at all.

The substitute team has shown some reaction, but the main team remains the same.

Wenger can't expect Lucky to yell at the main players.

However, it was somewhat surprising that Lucky made such a decision.

He felt that he needed to pay more attention to this Chinese player.

Maybe this guy can give me other surprises.

On the court, Lucky looked at Chamberlain and shook his head helplessly.

He wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked towards the main team.

There is a big gap between the main team and the substitute team.

Even though Lucky was running almost to pieces, they still conceded two goals.

The speed of Walcott and Arshavin caused him great trouble.

He relied on his speed to beat Lucky. Even though he knew how the opponent was going to break through, he just couldn't keep up. What else could he do?

Therefore, defense is not something that can be mastered by one person alone.

The overall defense line could not be built, and Le Kai could not stop the main team even if he ran himself ragged.

The training match was soon called off.

The data collection is finished and there is no need to continue this game.

Overall, this training match had some outstanding performances and some unsatisfactory parts.

But in the end, this was not a very exciting training match.

"I am disappointed!"

Looking at the two rows of Arsenal players in front of him, Wenger said seriously, "I thought you could get through this difficulty, but what you showed me is that you bowed to the difficulties."

"No coordination! No tactics! Not even communication!"

"If I hadn't been sure there was nothing wrong with my ears, I would have thought I was deaf!"

Wenger's authority within the team cannot be challenged.

This statement made many people, including Van Persie, lower their heads with expressions of shame.

"I don't want to see this happen again. I'll only give you two days. Hurry and adjust your condition! Next, train on your own!"

After saying that, Wenger led the coaches away, and they needed to go to the tactical room for data analysis.

In the tactical room, there are seven coaches including Wenger.

Assistant Coach and Technical Coach: Pat Rice.

Chief team doctor: Colin Levine.

Goalkeeping coach: Gerry Payton.

Goalkeeper coach: Jens Lehmann.

Strength and Conditioning Coach: Tony Colbert.

Facilities Manager: Paul Johnson.

This is Wenger's coaching team, among which Pat Rice, Gerry Payton and Colin Lewin are the core members who have partnered with Wenger for more than 20 years.

First, fitness coach Tony Colbert said: "The two players who ran the most distance in the game were Ramsey and Le!"

The first sentence made everyone look up slightly, with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Ramsey has extremely abundant physical fitness. After all, he has won the Welsh triathlon championship.

However, they did not expect that a newly joined Lucky would have the physical reserves to rival Ramsey.

Wenger also turned his eyes to Patles.

The person who knows Lucky best here is undoubtedly Patras.

In response, Patles shrugged and said, "You know how much I train, and he completes it every time."

Everyone was silent, which was very telling.

Luka's physical fitness is indeed the best in Arsenal at present.

"Next is the shooting data. Van Persie..., Walcott..., Arshavin..., Gervinho..., Shamakh..."

There was no mention of Chamberlain's shooting statistics, which clearly showed how appalling they were.

"In terms of steals and interceptions, Le performed the best!"

The scene fell silent again.

This was the second time they had heard the name.

"Four steals and two interceptions!" Lehmann said with a smile. "It is worth mentioning that Song's statistics are two steals and two interceptions!"

Everyone moved slightly and looked towards the data panel.

Lehmann was also very generous and placed it the middle of the conference table for others to see.

They clearly see the steal and intercept data.

Lyman remembers it in great detail.

When, where and how to make a steal or interception.

And the follow-up processing after the steal and interception.

I have to say, just based on these two data, Kodak's performance is quite exciting.

After all, there is no better defensive midfielder than Song in Arsenal.

And the report card submitted by Lucky is obviously better than that of Alexander Song!

Wenger also nodded slightly and said, "What about offense?"

He directly asked about Lucky's offensive statistics.

In response, Gerry Payton smiled bitterly; "No, the only time it was considered an offensive pass was when Arteta happened to be standing in front of him. He doesn't seem to like participating in the offense!"

Wenger turned his gaze to Patles again and raised his eyebrows slightly.

What about the excellent overall view and passing attributes you mentioned?

Patles said calmly, "Le is a very serious player. He never does anything without confidence. I hope you don't regard him as just a 17-year-old boy. In my opinion, he is more mature than anyone in our team!"

After that, Patles said to Wenger, "If you want to see his talent in attack, then you can tell him directly and give him orders. Otherwise, Le will not take the risk of using weapons that he has not yet fully mastered at this stage!"

Wenger groaned; "Cautious?"

"That's understandable, but I think it should be... the desire for victory!"

"Even in today's training match, you can see that he was still running like crazy to make various blocks despite being at a clear disadvantage. The reason why the substitute team only conceded two goals is largely due to his contribution. I think everyone here is very clear about this."

Hearing this, the coaches nodded.

I have to say that among the substitute team's performances, Lucky was quite impressive.

When the offense was slow to gain momentum, Lucky took on a large part of the defensive pressure.

It’s just that the substitute team has not yet formed enough defensive coordination with him.

At this point, Patres paused for a moment, then raised his hand and said, "I propose that we carry out follow-up work on Le as soon as possible, urge the hearing to start as soon as possible, and use Le in the second half of the season!"

Wenger frowned and said, "Are you sure? He is only 17 years old!"

"I'm sure!" Patles said confidently: "He still has a lot of potential to be tapped. You haven't seen his passing on the offensive end. It's like magic. You don't know where he is going to pass the ball, but when the ball is passed, there will be a fatal gap!"

"Of course, he still has a lot of problems now, such as not being able to hold the ball! But he has more things worth looking forward to. We can invest in him without reservation and let him transform in the game."

Finally, Patles dropped a big bomb.

"He has the potential to be Pirlo!"

Wow!!!

The entire coaching staff was in an uproar.

They had never seen a miser make such an evaluation.

Even when facing Fabregas, he only described him as a "first-class midfielder".

What is the magic of this Lucky that makes Patrese praise it so much?

Wenger was also a little stunned.

He never thought that his good friend would praise a player so unreservedly.

This has never happened before.

But it just happened!

And that’s not all!

Patles stared at Wenger and said, "He has what you need!"

After saying this, he opened and closed his mouth several times before uttering a word.

'Graham!'

Wenger's pupils shrank slightly, but he quickly calmed down. He took a deep breath and said, "Notify the club and ask them to speed up Le's hearing. I want him to get a work permit before Christmas!"

…

Lucky didn't know that a training match would change a lot of things.

At this time, Lucky was coaxing Chamberlain.

In the locker room, Chamberlain sat on the bench with his back to Lucky, tapping his shin guards in his hands.

It seems like he is venting his inner dissatisfaction.

Lucky said helplessly, "You don't have to?"

Chamberlain still had his back to Lucky and said aggrievedly, "Friends don't fight. You wanted to hit me just now. You are not my friend."

"I was just trying to motivate you. Didn't your performance improve a lot afterwards?"

"Then you also thought about beating me up!"

"Okay, a Mrs. Winter's special salad pasta!"

Chamberlain: “…”

Lucky raised his index finger and said, "One more cup of happy water!"
