Volume 2 Chapter 15 Perfect Fusion

At the end of the 90-minute game, thanks to Podolski's goal, Arsenal tied with the powerful Manchester City away from home.

This was something no one had thought of before the game.

But this draw also gave Arsenal a chance to breathe a sigh of relief.

The first five rounds of the season have all ended, and the standings are in a chaotic situation.

Chelsea leads the standings with 4 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses, and 13 points.

Manchester United has 4 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss, and is closely behind with 12 points.

Following them are Everton and West Bromwich Albion, both in 3rd and 4th position with 10 points.

Last season's Premier League champions Manchester City are in fifth place with 9 points.

After a bad start, Arsenal finished in eighth place with 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, tied with Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United and Newcastle United.

For Arsenal, if they lose this away game, their situation will be extremely passive.

Fortunately, they managed to get a draw.

Throughout the 90-minute game, Lucky's performance was obvious to all.

Whether it was his performance on the defensive end or the assist that equalized the game in the end.

These are all plus points for Lucky in this game.

In the end, after the judges' decision, Lucky once again received a high score of 8.5.

Kodak's average score per game is also frighteningly high.

But it also means that Arsenal's situation is not very optimistic. When a defensive player scores high, it means that there is a problem with the team's offense.

With a score of 8.5, although it was not the best performance of the game, the performance was already very impressive.

It can be seen how crucial a role Lucky played in this game.

No one raised any objection to this rating.

After all, they have seen Lucky's performance.

Of course, Lucky, who is still in the competition, is unaware of this.

Lucky and his teammates walked to the away fans area to express their gratitude.

There were a total of 4,000 Arsenal away fans in this game. Although their voices were suppressed, they still cheered and shouted very hard.

Especially after the final equalizer, all the Arsenal away fans went crazy.

The Arsenal players did not go together to express their gratitude, but whoever was free went.

Many people were being interviewed by reporters, and Lekai was also looking at the reporters who were waiting for him on the sidelines, but he didn't pay much attention.

Lucky walked straight to the away fans area.

When the distance was only 10 meters, the cheers suddenly became extremely loud.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lekai looked up in surprise.

Arsenal fans were seen waving their arms at him excitedly.

Only after Lekai walked in did he hear their words.

“It’s so beautiful!!”

"How did you spread it? This is simply God's masterpiece!"

"Hey! Kai, you reminded us yes! We can't give up!"

Immediately, someone shouted 'Never give up' first!

Soon others started shouting along.

They waved their arms wildly at Lucky.

Lekai stood on the sidelines, watching this scene, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

He never thought that one day he would be so loved by Arsenal fans.

Lucky patted his chest and said with a smile, "Never say die!"

Immediately, the cheers became louder.

After thanking the fans, Lucky walked towards the sidelines.

As soon as he arrived at the sidelines, a reporter stopped Lekai.

This is a pretty female reporter wearing a professional suit and having a hot body.

"In this game, you got an 8.5 rating again, and this is the second consecutive game in which you got assists. How do you feel about this?"

Just as Lekai was about to speak, someone pulled his arm.

The next second, Patles stood in front of Lucky and said seriously, "Sorry! We have to go back to the meeting!"

After saying that, he pulled Lucky away.

Lucky asked in confusion, "You can't even accept an interview?"

Patrese said unhappily, "Look at the logo of their media."

Lucky turned his head and looked.

There is 'the sun' printed in white on a red background on the microphone!

Lucky: “…”

…

As soon as Lucky entered the locker room, Chamberlain jumped up.

"Our man of the match is here!"

Immediately, others also jumped up and started cheering.

“Best of the Match!”

Lekai smiled. Even though Cazorla was the best player of the game, the players still felt that Lekai's role was more important.

Chamberlain took out his phone, opened an app and said, "This is a football data evaluation app that quickly evaluates the results of the game."

Lucky asked curiously, "Let me see!"

I leaned over to take a look and saw at the top the logo of the fifth round of the Premier League, Manchester City 1:1 Arsenal.

Below is Lucky's personal page, with a rating of '8.5' written in silver next to his name.

Below that are various data.

[90 minutes of playing time, 0 goals, 1 assist, 30 touches, 28/30 (93%) accuracy/pass, 1 pass that resulted in a shot, 0 crosses, 3 long passes, 0 dribbles, 5/4 ground duels/successful times, 3/3 aerial duels/successful times...]

There are many scattered data.

Lekai looked at other people's data again. Apart from himself, the highest was Cazorla's 8.9.

Of course, this also reflects from the side that Arsenal is in a passive situation.

When a defensive player has excellent statistics, the team's offense will be questioned.

In this game, Arsenal's offense was indeed suppressed by Manchester City, which gave Lucky the possibility of getting high points.

It was already 7 o'clock in the evening when we returned to the training base.

Wenger did not keep the players for long, but disbanded the team on the spot.

After everyone left, Wenger ran into the office with the game video and various data.

He didn't come out that night.

During the training the next day, Lucky and others clearly saw the professor standing on the sidelines with dark circles under his eyes.

He seemed very sleepy, but he was trying hard to stay awake.

"Arsene, you should go rest!"

Patelez came over and knew that Wenger had stayed up all night.

In response, Wenger waved his hand and said, "I can still hold on. I want to take a look."

"What are you looking at?" asked Patras.

Wenger didn't say anything, but his eyes were fixed on Lucky, carefully watching how he handled each situation.

After a while, he scratched his head and suddenly paused the game.

Then he called Luka and Arteta over.

"In a while, you will organize the main team together."

Upon hearing this, Luka and Arteta were stunned.

Organize together?

The two looked at each other.

But after Wenger said this, he didn't say anything more.

Lukay and Arteta can only discuss it carefully.

"How to organize it?"

Lucky asked.

Arteta was also a little confused.

Lekai said, "How about, you on the right and I on the left?"

After thinking about it, Arteta nodded. This was the only way now.

They did it right away and the two of them rushed into it.

But the result was terrible.

When the two of them organized together and there was no distinction between the leader and the deputy, everything became a mess.

When Lukay wanted to pass the ball, there was no movement from Arteta.

When Arteta wanted to continue transferring the ball, Luka suddenly sped up the pace and passed the ball forward.

In one word, it’s ‘chaos’!

The end result was that the two men split into two sides, the left one kicked the left one, and the right one kicked the right one.

There was no coordination at all throughout the game, let alone any tactics.

"Can not be done!"

Lucky said with a headache on his face.

Arteta also looked depressed.

The two of them don't click!

To put it bluntly, the two people's organizational methods are completely different.

Arteta makes judgments based on experience and the situation, and has extremely high requirements for overall stability.

On the other hand, Lucky is more aggressive. All his passes are aimed at breaking through the opponent's defense, and then he uses his 'foresight' talent to complete the final pass or the key pass.

The two people's methods are completely unrelated, let alone any cooperation.

Throughout the game, not only did the two of them play in a depressed mood, but their teammates also played in a depressed mood.

In this regard, Wenger had no choice but to call a halt and let the players conduct basic training on their own.

At the same time, he took out paper and pen and started writing and drawing.

Patles came over and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Wenger said bluntly; "I want to combine the abilities of Kai and Arteta."

After that, he explained; "Kai has a keener sense of space on the offensive end and can make unexpected passes, which must be utilized. But at the same time, he lacks the ability to connect the whole, which needs Arteta to make up for, understand?"

Patles said, "Then let Kai attack and let Arteta organize it, right?"

Wenger said irritably, "I don't want this kind of patchwork, but a combination of their characteristics that can work together perfectly!"

Wenger is a perfectionist.

Therefore, he did not want a single, rigid muscle engine.

He hopes that there will be some kind of chemical reaction between Luka and Arteta, and that the advantages of both can be perfectly combined to form a variable speed engine that can both accelerate suddenly and buffer perfectly.

But it's just an idea at the moment.

Moreover, Lukaku and Arteta have also proved with facts that it is difficult for the two of them to get along well.

After the training, Lekai and others stayed for more practice.

Compared to the first day, the number of people has increased a bit, and now has reached 15 people.

Captain Vermaelen also joined in.

Arsenal's first-team players all felt that this small-scale training could better improve their tacit understanding.

But when the number of people increases, rotation is needed.

Lukay and Arteta stood on the sidelines, waiting to play in the second half.

The two also started chatting.

"What does the professor want?"

Lucky asked in confusion.

Arteta thought for a while and said, "It should be that they want us to combine our respective strengths and organize together."
