Volume 1 Chapter 39 Opening the Blind Box
In the Arsenal equipment room, Luka is lifting weights under the watchful eye of assistant coach Pat Les.
The team doctor diagnosed that Lekai had too much fat, so his training returned to the old program.
Lifting irons, training around the pole, training the feel of the ball...
Of course, Lucky also participated in group training, but after the training, he practiced more under the guidance of Patles.
"Three more groups!"
Patras stood aside, with his arms folded across his chest, a hint of smile in his eyes.
He was very satisfied with Lucky's training attitude.
He never questioned his training plan, but practiced silently.
Even though the training was extremely hard and boring, he never complained.
Today's Lucky has changed a lot compared to eight months ago.
His body became much stronger, his muscles became more muscular, and most importantly, he grew five centimeters taller.
Today, Lucky is already 1.87 meters tall and weighs 85 kilograms, which makes him considered a strong man in the Premier League.
You should know that Drogba, who is known as the beast, is only 189 cm tall and weighs 91 kg.
Lucky's physical fitness is already very close to that of this monster .
Of course, Kodak has also made a lot of sacrifices for this.
For example, in terms of agility, his pole-circling training results continued to decline, and the increase in muscle mass made his body more rigid.
But Patras didn't care about it.
Lucky isn’t the type of player that requires agility, and his footwork isn’t particularly outstanding.
Lucky's most powerful weapon is his ability to steal the ball and make a crucial pass.
In the training games over the past period of time, Lucky's key passing ability has been worthy of attention.
Under Arteta's organization, Luka's occasional brilliant passes can be deadly.
Although this happens infrequently and Lucky doesn't try it all the time, every time it happens it means tearing the defense apart.
This is an extremely terrifying ability!
And Lucky's passing arsenal has become richer and more diverse.
Sometimes it's a long diagonal pass, sometimes it's a long arc close to the ground, and sometimes it's even a through ball as sharp as a knife that penetrates the entire defense line.
This also makes the coaching staff have higher expectations for Lucky.
Today's Kodak is lacking in organization, but this is something that can be practiced slowly.
Arteta can still play as a starter. As long as Luka can maintain this form, he will be able to play as a starter by the middle of next season at the latest.
A smile appeared on Patrese's face.
Wenger was extremely decisive when making this decision.
Just like selling Vieira and supporting Fabregas.
This time, he has already started thinking about selling Alexander Song and replacing him with Lucky!
He believes that Lucky's performance will surprise everyone.
And Lucky gives the team more than just that.
During their long-term observation, Wenger and other coaching staff also saw Luka's abilities in other aspects.
Or it can be called a temperament!
This guy is really good at seizing opportunities at critical moments!
Whether he is in the substitute team or the main team, at every critical moment, he can always deliver a key pass or steal the ball, and sometimes even head the ball and score a goal!
Although coaches haven't tried Lucky in games, that trait is rare.
Now Wenger is looking forward to Luka's performance in the game more and more.
But, not yet!
bump!!
The heavy barbell fell to the ground, making a loud noise.
Le Kaichi | His upper body is naked, his body is covered with sweat, his thick arms are strong and powerful, and when he twists his shoulders, his pectoralis major and the muscles behind his back move, giving people a sense of explosive power.
"Hoo! Coach, are we going to train like this again tomorrow?"
Lucky asked after replenishing his water.
In response, Patles asked, "What else do you want to practice?"
Lucky shrugged and said, "Let's try something new. I'm tired of these trainings."
"Just these few items, do you think this is a menu? You can order whatever you want? I am giving you targeted training. You cannot move on to the next one until you meet the standard for each item!" Patres concentrated on recording data in the notebook.
Lucky said, "What's the next item? Can you tell me?"
Patrizia looked up, and asked, "Want to know?"
Seeing the other person's expression, Lekai understood instantly.
“No flexibility training!”
Lucky refused.
If other training is painful, then flexibility training is painful!
The feeling of playing with one's head is just terrible!
Seeing Lucky's horrified look, Patles snorted and said, "Don't worry, this flexibility training will be very simple. Your current body can't do very flexible movements."
Lekai looked down at his sturdy figure and said with emotion, "It's more than 10 kilograms. If it were the old me, I would probably be knocked away in one go."
"That's right!" said Patles; "The Premier League is the league with the most intense physical confrontation. If you play here and don't have a good body, all that awaits you is a bed in the infirmary!"
After saying that, Patles snapped his notebook shut and said, "Start practicing explosive power tomorrow!"
Lucky was surprised; "Isn't it flexibility training?"
"This is the third stage. First, practice your explosive power. When you are at a certain distance from your opponent and the opponent is a very fast player, your stealing and interception efficiency will be seriously reduced. Therefore, you need to rush forward as soon as possible and perform close defense."
Lucky grinned and said, "Training your legs?"
Patras said, "Train your calves!"
Well, everyone knows the pain of leg training.
The next day, Lucky's new training program began.
After training in the morning and evening, additional training should be done.
The content of the exercise became explosive power.
In the equipment room, Lekai has to carry a barbell, stand upright, and use the strength of his calves to stand on tiptoe.
This is to practice the explosive power of the calves.
Then they had to go to the training ground to practice shuttle runs. Anyway, Patres would always train Lucky to the point of exhaustion.
But Lucky has a strong ability to recover. No matter how intense the training is, he can adapt in two days at most.
This also made Patrese train Lucky like an animal.
If you practice like this, you don’t have to worry about not doing well.
Of course, Lucky undergoes physical examinations every week to make sure he is not prone to injury.
The team doctor's report was also very clear.
Lucky is in good health.
This also made Patres devote himself to training with greater enthusiasm.
Patras is happy now.
If he felt that now seeing Lucky changing little by little and performing well in training matches, he sees that there is still a lot of potential to be tapped.
This kind of player has a fatal attraction to coaches.
Now Patales’ daily task is to find out what potential of Lucky can be tapped, and he is in anticipation of opening a blind box.
Even after Lucky had several headers, he felt that Lucky had the qualifications to be a striker.
However, he is good at seizing opportunities, but everything else is a mess.
His forward speed is too slow, his shooting ability is not good enough, and he is only good at headers, so he no longer pays attention to these things.
…
The 34th round of the season just ended yesterday, and Arsenal has already overtaken the team in points.
They successfully defeated Tottenham Hotspur and, after beating Manchester City at home in the 32nd round, their morale was boosted, achieving two consecutive home and away wins.
Arsenal is now firmly in third place in the standings.
2011/2012 Premier League standings.
1: Manchester United, 26 wins, 4 draws, 4 losses, 82 points.
2: Manchester City, 24 wins, 5 draws, 5 losses, 77 points.
3: Arsenal, 20 wins, 4 draws, 10 losses, 64 points.
4: Tottenham Hotspur, 17 wins, 8 draws, 8 losses, 59 points.
5: Newcastle: 17 wins, 8 draws, 8 losses, 59 points.
6: Chelsea, 16 wins, 9 draws, 8 losses, 57 points.
Among the Premier League BIG6, five clubs still remain in the top six positions, with Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal even occupying the Champions League zone .
Liverpool's results were dismal.
This season they still failed to make it to the European competition zone, ranking 8th with a record of 12 wins, 10 draws and 11 losses.
The Red Army still has a long way to go before it can rise.
Arsenal has completely consolidated its position and is five points away from fourth place.
As long as they don't go too far, they will be able to keep their Champions League spot.
Wenger finally breathed a sigh of relief as he could now start training his players.
Many hungry young players are still waiting anxiously.
In the previous period of the points-grabbing war, Wenger advocated that all the main players should earn more points as the main goal, but now the slightly more relaxed environment has made him decide to send young players to the field for some training.
Especially Lucky!
Wenger wanted Lukay to make his Premier League debut a long time ago.
After all, Lucky has not been able to play since that FA Cup match, which is not conducive to Lucky's growth.
Now that the environment has become more relaxed, he decided to give Lucky more opportunities.
If nothing unexpected happens, he is willing to let Lekai play in the next four rounds if the score allows.
The next game will also be the time when Lucky will be included in the roster again after three months away from the court.
