Football: Don’t talk about feelings, I’m just an AI

Chapter 138 Game 1 of the new season: Let the bullets fly for a while (page 1)

It turns out that not all players are rich.

Especially in a World Cup year,

Gustavo rejected Wolfsburg's high-paying offer and flew to London on the day of the Community Shield match.

This choice → is just right!

Gustavo,

His abilities tend to be defensive midfielders. If there is a top organizer or metronome in the midfield, Gustavo can be qualified as a defensive midfielder for any giant.

On the other hand, if the midfielder requires Gustavo to assume certain offensive responsibilities, then his ability will not be as good as the main force of the giants and he can only be used as a rotation player.

So this candidate is useless for Bayern, but for Arsenal, it's just right.

Arsenal have Cazorla and Arteta in the backcourt. Both of them have organizational and scheduling abilities and can become Arsenal's offensive engine and rhythm controller.

When it comes to defense alone, neither of these two are very good!

If it weren't for Xia Qi's fierce firepower, it would be difficult for Arsenal to win the double championship based on Arsenal's defensive thickness.

As a first-class coach, Wenger is certainly aware of the shortcomings of his team, and strengthening the midfielder is a top priority. However, Arsenal's boss is notoriously stingy, and Wenger has a submissive character and will not cry or make trouble. Hang yourself,

Therefore, there is not that much transfer budget in hand, and the price and ability of Bayern's discarded player are just right. It is exactly what Wenger needs, and it is what Arsenal can afford.

In fact, at this time, Kante, who joined the Blue Fox in 15 and is still training in Ligue , is a better and cheaper choice. Unfortunately, Xia Qi is not a time traveler and cannot help Wenger.

But there is one thing about Gustavo that is better than Kanter. He is a versatile player in the midfield and backfield. By introducing him, he can rotate multiple positions.

In addition, Wenger also promoted German youngster Serge Gnabry from the youth training team.

This boy is one year younger than Xia Qi. Like Xia Qi, he is capable of playing as a left winger and center forward, but is better at the right winger position.

After complementing the two players, Arsenal has three lines and a neat lineup with no obvious flaws.

This is good for Arsenal who want to get more in the new season.

The bookmaker also lowered Arsenal's odds of winning the new season.

The odds of winning the Premier League from lowest to highest are: Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City, and Liverpool.

After the new season's personnel are organized, Arsenal begins tactical training.

Wenger designed a 361 formation for the team's starting lineup this season.

Midfielder: Gustavo, Cazorla, and Arteta are the back midfielders, and Xia Qi, De Bruyne, and Walcott are the front midfielders.

Center: Balotelli,

Three central defenders: Mertesacker, Umtiti, Vermaelen.

As for the effect, it will take time to detect.

Arsenal's opponent in the first round of the new season is Aston Villa.

This team comes from the middle of England and its strength belongs to the middle and lower reaches of the team.

Judging from the historical record and paper strength of the two teams, Arsenal's victory is certain.

But for a weak team, losing is natural. If they can get an upset, it will be a glorious moment.

This mentality of eager to become famous in one battle is Arsenal's biggest trouble in challenging the underdogs away from home.

Wenger does not want to lose in the first round.

However, in the three days of training before the expedition, he did not increase the training intensity but instead decreased it.

Wenger is afraid of injuries in the team. Whether it is Cazorla, Wilshere or others, they all prefer glass-like attributes.

Sometimes, Wenger really wants to imitate the Chinese people who go to the temple to burn incense sticks on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year to ward off bad luck.

On August 2013, 8, 11 Arsenal players took the team bus and left for Birmingham in advance.

2013/8/12

"Penguin Sports!"

"Penguin Sports!"

"Viewers, welcome to watch the first round of the 2013-2014 English Premier League on time, with Aston Villa playing against the previous champion Arsenal at home."

"I am your old friend Zhan Jun."

"I am Zhang Lu."

"..."

……

……

"Ding Dong"

"Please host select 'training' or 'competition' mode."

"Contest"

"Please host choose the court position: A forward, B..."

"TO"

"Detecting the current predicament of the host's team, matching the attributes of the host [Trapeze]."

"The greater the pressure, the stronger the host! The one who steps forward at the critical moment is you."

"Please host choose 'autonomous mode' or 'one-click hang-up mode'"

"Warm reminder: During the hang-up period, the host will automatically complete various indicator actions by the system."

"Hang up with one click!"

"..."

...

...

"Arsenal has a problem with the connection between the third line."

"Wenger's transformation of the midfield was not successful."

"There was no full-time defensive midfielder before. Cazorla focused more on defense. Now he has to participate in organizing offense, and his responsibilities with De Bruyne are somewhat unclear..."

Zhang Lu's explanation had just finished.

Aston Villa took advantage of Arsenal's passing error and scored the first goal of the game.

Arsenal trailed away from home.

"Shoot!"

"Wieman assisted Benteke to score, and it came from the cooperation of Aston Villa's striker duo."

"This goal came from a mistake in Arsenal's midfield and a quick counterattack by the opponent."

"Aston Villa's counterattack was very concise and efficient. After the ball was passed between two feet, forward Wiman hit the center in front of the right post of the goal. Benteke pushed forward in the center and scored."

Benteke celebrated with his teammates after scoring a goal. This is very likely to be the most glorious moment in his life. It may even be the capital to show off to his grandson while sitting in a rocking chair when he grows old...

Villa Park has become a sea of ​​joy, and the Aston Villa team song is flying in the air.

During the singing, the Arsenal players stood a little confused on the field...

They conceded the goal only 15 minutes into the game, which they really didn't expect.

"There are no underdogs in the Premier League! Judging from the progress of the 15-minute game, Aston Villa is not without the possibility of scoring."

"They did not position themselves as a weak team from the beginning of the whistle. Instead, they pressed forward very resolutely and launched a fierce press against Arsenal.

It stands to reason that this level of high-position pressing would not be a problem for Arsenal, who have experienced Dortmund's "mad dog" style of play.

But tonight's Arsenal midfielder seemed to be under the "Poch Curse". He always received and delivered the ball as slowly as a sloth.

This way the ball carrier can easily get trapped.

Take the ball conceded just now as an example.

After Cazorla received the football, he did not play the ball immediately. Instead, he raised his head and looked around. After just one second of delay, he was double-teamed and the football at his feet was broken..."

On the sidelines of the court, Wenger frowned. What he was most worried about, "the two virtues cannot coexist." happened.
