Volume 2 Chapter 10: Insufficiency and Pressure
Wenger was sitting in a dim office, with Lucky's Vlog playing on the computer screen in front of him.
However, after a while, the professor took off his headphones, exhaled slowly and said, "That's very well said!"
There was a hint of a smile on his lips.
'Don't give up'?
Meanwhile, Arsenal players, including some who have left, have also seen the video.
Their expressions were different.
Some are excited, some are calm, some are disdainful, and some are lost...
But they have to admit that this passage will have a huge impact on Arsenal.
Suarez took off his headphones and turned his gaze to the big ear cups against the wall, his eyes filled with passion.
Cazorla lowered his head and stared at the Arsenal team logo in silence.
Arteta sat quietly in the car, looking into the distance with a deep gaze.
Vermaelen stood at the window, overlooking the city of London ...
Many people are destined to suffer from insomnia tonight!
…
Woolwich area, 'The Oak Pub'.
Kelvin Meadows was holding a cell phone in his hand and wearing headphones on his ears, oblivious to the noisy surroundings.
His eyes were out of focus, as if he was recalling something.
After an unknown amount of time, Kelvin Meadows suddenly sighed deeply and said with a smile, "Don't give up! This guy said it well!"
Kelvin Meadows turned his head and looked at a black scarf hanging above the wine cabinet.
Then, as if he had made a decision, he slammed his fist on the counter.
Suddenly, the noisy scene suddenly became quiet.
Everyone turned and looked at Kelvin Meadows in astonishment.
He took a deep breath and said, " What do you think of the atmosphere at home?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other.
Meadows looked at the fat man not far away and asked, "Sean, tell me, how is it?"
Fatty Sean pursed his lips and said, "Not good! They all call us the library!"
Someone took the lead, and others also complained; "In the past, Boss Meadows led us to cheer the whole audience, but now there is no one to lead, and no one can organize us!"
"The away fans were louder than us and we wanted to fight back but no one cooperated with us!"
"We don't have the charisma that you have, Boss!"
"Sometimes we can't blame the players, we fans are also incompetent!"
Everyone looked at each other and talked non-stop.
Meadows nodded slightly, and then said, "Gather the guys for the next game, we are going to occupy the stands!"
Everyone looked at Meadows in shock.
At this time, Meadows yelled: "This is Arsenal!!——"
Amid the deafening roar, the members in black jerseys heard familiar slogans.
Their bodies trembled with excitement and they shouted loudly.
“Kill them!!”
Meadows stood directly on the counter and roared, "We are gunmen!!"
Everyone cheered.
“Kill them!!”
Meadows slapped his chest angrily and said, "Forward! Gunners!"
The emotions reached a climax. Everyone closed their eyes, raised their hands high, and roared with ferocious faces: "Crush them!!"
…
The next day, during team training, Lekai could clearly feel that the team's training enthusiasm was extremely high.
Everyone was running and training as hard as they could. They communicated and exchanged ideas. Although they sometimes quarreled, they were mostly working to continuously improve the lineup.
The coaches' looks towards him also became a little strange.
Lucky couldn't describe the feeling.
This look is exactly the same as the one Lekai had when he first saw a giant panda under the guidance of his father.
After last week, the Premier League has completely kicked off.
In the first round of the game, each team had its own performance.
Arsenal won the game hard at home, but although it was a victory, it did not inspire much encouragement, after all, they were once in great trouble.
They couldn't imagine what would happen if they lost at home at the start.
Fortunately, they won.
Teams including Manchester City, Chelsea, Everton, West Bromwich Albion and Swansea all won the first round.
Hazard, who was introduced by Chelsea this year, performed brilliantly in the first game.
He assisted Ivanovic to score a goal just two minutes into the game, and with Lampard's long-range shot in the 7th minute, Chelsea defeated Wigan Athletic away.
In this game, Torres and Mata are still on the field.
Chelsea did not give up on activating the Spanish Holy Child, but it had no effect.
Manchester United was taught a lesson by Everton away from home. Everton player Fellaini played well throughout the game and Manchester United did not win in the first game.
Liverpool also failed at the start and lost 0:3 to West Bromwich Albion.
Soon, the Premier League also entered the second round.
Arsenal will play against Stoke City away.
Stoke City is one of the few teams that has retained some of the English football style.
Stoke City is also known as the Sky City. The average height of the players is close to 190 cm, and there is also a 201 cm tall center forward Crouch.
In this game, Lekai still came on as a substitute.
The whole game was extremely difficult and Arsenal seemed a bit passive in the opponent's high ball tactics.
In particular, the 201-centimeter Crouch poses a great threat in indirect free kicks or corner kicks.
This guy could catch up to the height of others with just a light jump.
Arsenal fans don't have a good impression of Crouch. As one of Tottenham Hotspur's trident, Crouch + Bale + Modric supported Tottenham Hotspur for an era.
But Tottenham Hotspur is no longer the same as it used to be.
Modric's move to Real Madrid this season dealt a heavy blow to Tottenham.
This trauma is no less than Van Persie's departure from Arsenal.
Arsenal had a very difficult time throughout the 90 minutes.
Suarez and Cazorla in the frontcourt performed like crazy, Arteta was also trying his best to maintain the organization, and Luka was also doing his defensive work.
But they were never able to score.
Finally, in the 89th minute, near the end of the game, Stoke City's center forward Crouch scored with a header.
Arsenal lost the second round match.
This game caused quite a stir.
The media even pointed out directly and sharply that "selling Alexander Song was a wrong choice!"
The media believes that although Alexander Song often makes mistakes and lacks discipline, Arsenal's defense is stable when Song is there.
In contrast, Arsenal's current defensive capabilities are weak in the defensive midfield.
Ramsey who dares not run!
There is no highlight in Diaby!
When facing a center forward like Crouch, Lucky also lost his voice.
Arteta is alone in the defensive midfielder position.
They feel that Arsenal's tactics limit Arteta's performance.
At the same time, it increased the pressure on the defense line.
Vermaelen no longer has the magical ability he once had, largely due to the heavy blow he suffered from the departure of Alexander Song.
Some media even directly fired at the professor!
'Even with the money, Arsenal are still wimps!'
These media comments put Arsenal in a very bad situation.
But Arsenal did not give any explanation.
This is a competitive event!
Winning or losing determines success or failure!
If you win, you can say anything!
If you lose, just keep your head down and take the scolding!
Fortunately, in the entire critical report, there was no mention of Lucky Coin, and it was obvious that they had forgotten about Lucky Coin's performance.
Or maybe they think that Lukaku is not yet able to become an immediate combat force for Arsenal.
Another week later, it was a special game.
Arsenal will visit Liverpool for the third round away game.
Two consecutive away games made Arsenal feel a little uncomfortable.
It was also a match for Suarez against his former club.
As soon as the game started, Liverpool fans began to boo Suarez crazily, obviously dissatisfied with Suarez's departure.
And Suarez's expression wasn't particularly good either.
In the first half, the two teams played back and forth.
But none of them were able to score a goal.
And judging from the situation on the field, Arteta was obviously suppressed.
The pressure from Liverpool is too great, and Arteta is most likely to get lost under such pressure.
Facing the tough Gerrard, Arteta couldn't play the rhythm he wanted, and most of the time it was Cazorla who retreated to ask for the ball.
After entering the second half, the pace of the game suddenly increased.
Liverpool scored the first goal in the 67th minute, a powerful shot from Sterling.
Sterling has not yet grown into England's big man, but he has performed well enough.
Thanks to Sterling's goal, Liverpool took the lead.
But Arsenal were not to be outdone, especially after Cazorla saw Sterling's breakthrough, he couldn't help but show off his skills.
Continuous breakthroughs, plus a pass, successfully assisted Chamberlain to score a goal.
That’s right!
Chamberlain scored!
The young player, who was substituted by the professor in the 69th minute, scored his first league goal.
Chamberlain seemed very excited and ran all over the court with joy.
This was also the last goal of the game.
After the draw, neither team was able to break this balance.
Lukay also came on in the 70th minute and his defensive ability also benefited Arsenal.
But he failed to contribute anything to the offense.
Although he only played for 20 minutes, Lekai clearly felt the pressure from the opponent's midfield.
He couldn't experience it personally off the field, but after coming to the field, he finally understood how much of a change a good midfield core and an excellent organizing midfielder can bring.
It’s no wonder Arteta is lost.
Lucky wanted to help relieve the pressure, but his organizational skills were completely inadequate.
In the end, the two teams ended in a draw!
After three rounds of matches, Arsenal has 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss, and is once again ranked 10th in the standings!
Although it can't be called a disastrous start, it's not too good either.
