Volume 2 Chapter 32: Consecutive Injuries
After 12 rounds of the Premier League, Arsenal is also soaring in the league standings.
From the 14th place in the league, the worst in Wenger's team history, to the current 6th place in the league.
This roller coaster-like ups and downs in performance have left Arsenal fans exhausted.
It seems that in the past two seasons, Arsenal have encountered unfavorable starts. In the past, they always became weak in the late stages, but now, they have a bloody start in the early stages and start to gain points in the middle stages.
But he finally got back to his form, which is good news for Arsenal fans.
But there is bad news.
That is Wilshere is injured again.
Yes.
This guy missed the entire 2011-2012 season, just returned this season, stayed with the team for less than two weeks, and then went back to bed.
Arsenal fans are angry.
They have high expectations for this "Prince", and many people hope that Wilshere can shoulder the honor of Arsenal and challenge for a higher stage.
But from what we see now , what challenge, what honor, this guy is actually dealing with a hospital bed.
There is still no response from the club, but Arsenal fans judged from Wilshere's screams in the derby that this guy's season is over again.
I just came to Arsenal for training less than two weeks ago and played a game!
Then he took the initiative to tackle the person and injured himself!
Arsenal fans are angry and find it funny!
Destroy it!
tired!
Arsenal fans' attitude towards Wilshere is that they are angry at him for not fighting back.
I've given you the No. 10 jersey, what else do you want?
Lying on a hospital bed wearing a No. 10 jersey?
It would be fine if there is no strength and talent.
But this guy just has enough talent.
Not only Arsenal fans, but even the coaching staff are beginning to lose patience.
When Wenger saw the diagnosis report given by the team doctor, his whole face became extremely depressed.
[Lumbar vertebra fracture, requires surgery, recovery period cannot be determined. ]
Wenger silently put the diagnosis aside and gently closed his eyes.
He somewhat regretted giving the No. 10 jersey to Wilshere.
Previously, he was full of expectations for Wilshere, but now Wilshere shows the attributes of a glass man and is not up to any great use.
After missing the game for two consecutive seasons, this guy is really useless!
"Let Le be the starting main force in the next game!"
Wenger has made up his mind.
Lucky has performed very well in recent times.
Moreover, in the games that Luka played, Arsenal's defensive coordination was extremely stable, which is something Wenger must consider.
Song's departure did have an impact on Arsenal to some extent.
But the existence of Lucky has made up for this very well, and even strengthened it a lot!
Moreover, Lekai is a more stable defensive midfielder than Song.
Of course, in Wenger's view, Lucky's talent is far more than that, but at this stage Lucky can only play to this level and he needs more experience in the future.
Wilshere's departure completely established Lucky's starting position.
After one and a half seasons, since joining Arsenal, Luka finally gained enough trust.
Kodak is not a ready-to-fight team like Suarez who joined the team at a high price. There is a process from nothing to something after all, but Kodak has greatly shortened the length of this time with its performance.
Arsenal also prepared a new contract for Lukay.
The new five-year contract is worth £50,000 a week.
Lucky remembers that Alexander Song's weekly salary was 45,000 pounds.
Compared to the latter, it increased by 5,000 pounds.
Arsenal's salary has never been very high. Even with the Russian owner taking over, the players' salary cap problem is still very serious due to the home stadium's debt.
It’s pretty good now. Although it can’t be called the first tier of the Premier League, it’s finally in the second tier!
Lucky's $50,000 weekly salary also made him wealthy enough.
Although he cannot compare with Suarez, the highest paid player in the team, he is still satisfied.
Of course, Wenger also explained this when he gave Lucky the new contract.
As long as Luka performs well enough, Arsenal will not be stingy with his salary.
If it was the Arsenal of the past, it would be fine. Since the Russian owner came to power, the investment in the team has been huge.
These are enough to deliver on the promise.
After receiving his first week's salary of 50,000, Lucky prepared to move out.
He was a boarder at Billy's house and was not yet eighteen years old, so he needed a caretaker.
Now Lucky is an adult and eligible to live on his own.
“What are the house prices in Fulham?”
Lucky leaned closer to Vermaelen and asked.
He knew that the captain lived there. As a wealthy area in London, Fulham has always been synonymous with prosperity.
Vermaelen glanced at Lucky and said, "It depends on the location. If it's near London Bridge, the total house price is around 1.15 million pounds. If it's in the area where Van Persie once lived, forget it now!"
Lekai looked a little embarrassed and asked, "What about renting a house?"
"That's about £3,000 a week! Of course, that's all the services combined. You don't want to clean a house that big by yourself."
Lekai grinned slightly. So, the housing prices in this damn capital are really expensive!
"Why do you have to live in Fulham?" Vermaelen laughed; "Many people would not choose there. If you want to invest, I would indeed recommend the Fulham area, but if you want to live by yourself, you can find a suburb, preferably a single-family house close to the training base, which only costs 500-650 pounds a week!"
500 pounds a week, converted into RMB, is about 5,000 yuan a week, and nearly 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month.
Lucky grinned, feeling that it was still too expensive.
His boarding fee for a week at Billy's house was less than £100.
And food and accommodation are provided.
Lucky sighed, found Chamberlain, and asked hopefully, "Do you live alone?"
Chamberlain looked at Lucky in surprise and said, "No! I live with my mother."
Lucky waved his hands helplessly and said, "Okay!"
Now, he has made it clear that he wants to rent a house alone, sharing a house is out of the question!
In fact, with 50,000 pounds a week, Lucky can really afford a house in Fulham if he grits his teeth.
But his consumption concept is different from that of other countries, and he believes that saving money is the most important thing.
Therefore, Lucky is unwilling to be a moonlighter.
In fact, Lucky had planned to find a personal trainer before, but eventually gave up the idea.
The reason is simple. Arsenal's assistant coach is so good that he is almost his own personal trainer. Why look for a personal training team?
The issue of renting a house was put aside for the time being, and Lekai dealt with it slowly.
For now, he still has to focus on the league.
After entering November, Arsenal has recovered a lot of points in the league, but still has not entered the Champions League zone, so they still need to work harder .
In the Champions League, Arsenal ranked second in Group B with a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss.
The appearance is pretty good.
Lucky also played a few Champions League games, with mixed performances, which was considered mediocre.
The league has also entered the 13th round, and Lucky once again entered the starting lineup for away games.
They will play away against Aston Villa.
Aston Villa has not performed well in the past 12 rounds, hovering near the relegation zone with a record of 2 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses.
This also enabled the team to perform at a heroic level.
This is also the first time for Lucky to play against a Premier League relegation team, and each of them looks like they want to fight you to death.
He never thought that a Premier League 17th place team would be so difficult to play for.
Before the game, Chamberlain teased Aston Villa, saying that this would give Arsenal three points to help them win the game.
At that time, his teammates all looked at him with strange expressions.
Now Lucky finally understands!
Why is it so difficult to play against this relegation team?
For a full 90 minutes, the game between the two sides was bloody and violent.
Lucky got a yellow card.
The final result was a score of 0-0.
There are big duck eggs on both sides!
Aston Villa drew with Arsenal at home to avoid falling into the relegation zone.
Arsenal's chance of winning four games in a row was cut short.
But worse problems arose.
After the game, Arsenal's team doctor found out during a routine physical examination that Cazorla was prone to injury. Cazorla's calf Achilles tendon was clearly overloaded and he needed to rest for a while, otherwise irreversible problems would occur.
This result surprised everyone when it was released.
This is Cazorla!
If we were to say, the best performing player in Arsenal's lineup this season is Cazorla!
It's not a good thing for this guy to show these symptoms.
This is a huge blow to Arsenal.
Wenger is also hesitant about whether to give Cazorla a rest.
But the bad news soon came.
During training, Cazorla suddenly fell to the ground and screamed.
This scene gave everyone a bad feeling.
After the diagnosis, the results came out.
Cazorla suffered an Achilles tendon injury and was officially included in the injury list.
