Chapter 11: Trying a New Approach

Wenger did not give a clear answer, only told Patrese to win.

But this also put Patrese in a completely confused state.

So, how to win?

Wenger said that he was the head coach and he should solve these problems.

Patrese wanted to take Wenger back to the training base at that time. This lousy coach was really annoying.

But angry words aside, he also needs to do something.

Championship burden!

Weak will!

Tactical targeting!

Need to break them one by one, so where to start?

The answer is obvious!

Championship burden!

How to make Arsenal throw away the championship explosion, so that the players no longer think they are the champions.

They just won the Champions League and are the defending champions of the Champions League.

This can't be treated as if it didn't happen!

In this case, a new goal must be set.

"Two consecutive championships?"

In the training ground, Arsenal players looked at each other.

Now that their state is so bad, how to stabilize the league is a problem.

Patrese actually proposed a goal of "two consecutive championships".

It's like they are arm wrestling with a strong man when they just went for treatment and their arms are still wrapped in plaster!

Outrageous!

But Patrese's attitude is very firm.

And he made a request to them that they should shout the slogan of "two consecutive championships" three times every day during training.

Despite the shame in their hearts, the Arsenal players still shouted at the top of their lungs.

Two consecutive championships!

Two consecutive championships!

Two consecutive championships!

After shouting, they returned to training.

Patrese didn't know whether this slogan would work, but at least it could give the players a psychological hint.

And apart from this method, he really couldn't find a better way.

In this case, Arsenal ushered in the second league game.

They will face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in south London.

Last season, Arsenal beat Crystal Palace twice, so in this game, Crystal Palace played a 4-5-1 formation.

It's a solid formation.

Arsenal slightly strengthened their attack.

But the game time came to 70 minutes, and neither side was able to score.

"Crystal Palace's defense is extremely tenacious. They have persisted for 70 minutes without losing the ball, while Arsenal still has problems on the offensive end. They can't smoothly cut into the Crystal Palace's penalty area."

Andy Gray shouted in victory.

After entering this season, Arsenal no longer has that kind of domineering performance.

The overall chaos is terrible, especially when attacking, it feels completely messed up and out of order.

Lekai leaned on his knees and panted.

Sweat dripped down his face!

Tired!

Very tired!

Not just ordinary tired!

After playing this game, it was so depressing.

Although everything was the same as in training, it was just uncomfortable to play.

Not only could the cooperation not keep up, but the state of each player was not particularly full.

Lekai understood that relying on his mouth can no longer inspire the fighting spirit of his teammates.

Last season, Lucky's mouth cannon was just a trigger, and what can really inspire fighting spirit is the desire in the hearts of these players.

Now that they have won the Champions League too early, this ambition and momentum have disappeared.

For this reason, no matter what Lucky said, they looked powerless.

The only lucky thing is that their defense is still very strong and did not give the opponent any chance.

But even so, this game was extremely heartbreaking.

"The time is about to end, and Arsenal still failed to score any goals!"

Andy Gray sighed; "What happened to this Arsenal team? Did they really change to the champion syndrome?"

Beep beep beep~~~!

The whistle sounded at the end of the game.

Crystal Palace fans cheered loudly in an instant.

It is extremely difficult for them to get a draw with the powerful Arsenal, which will also be of great help to their subsequent relegation.

In the evening, on the return bus, the players were extremely silent.

Suarez even put his hat on his face and pretended to be asleep.

This is a refusal to communicate.

Suarez was angry. It can be said that Suarez's performance in the frontcourt was very good throughout the game. He even created scoring opportunities with his own ability many times, but his teammates failed to grasp it.

No one knew what Suarez was thinking at this time.

But he probably regretted staying in Arsenal.

Lekai's face was also extremely heavy.

Two rounds without a win, no goal scored!

This was a big blow to them.

Lekai played very unhappily.

Sometimes, he even thought about organizing the attack himself.

But he had to give up defense completely when he went forward.

Is this really possible?

Perhaps, he should really try another position?

The next day, Lekai took the initiative to find Patrese.

"Do you want to change your position?"

Patrese looked at Lekai in surprise.

Lekai nodded and said, "Our problem is in the offense. No one can help the teammates in the frontcourt to organize the offense."

"No, no, no!" Patrese waved his hand and said, "We have Jack, and we also have Aubameyang! They have the ability to organize the offense!"

Lucky said; "Jack is easily fooled. To be honest, his current state is not particularly good. As for Aubameyang, I admit that he is an excellent player, but he is not yet familiar with Arsenal's playing rhythm. He needs to Someone to help him get up to speed quickly.”

Patrice looked at Lucky, pondered for a moment and said, "It's not impossible for you to play as a central midfielder, but on the defensive end?"

"Kante and Flamini! Or Kante and Wilshere!"

"Kante is currently one of the few players in the team who is still in shape."

Kanter has performed very well in the last two games. He has repeatedly destroyed the opponent's counterattacks, and is even almost in the same state as Lucky in terms of statistics.

This kind of Kanter already has the ability to independently support the defensive waistline.

When Patrice heard this, he did not answer in a hurry, but lowered his head and kept thinking.

It's not impossible for Lucky to play as a central midfielder.

Moreover, in order to develop Lucky's comprehensiveness, the two prepared for a full season plus a holiday.

It was put on hold before due to issues with the team's status, but now it's time to put it into practice.

"I will think about it!"

Patrice still did not give a clear answer.

Lucky nodded and turned around to leave.

He knows Patrice very well, and this sentence has basically determined that he will be in the central midfielder. As the head coach, Patrice will not reveal the lineup and position arrangement in advance.

Another week has passed.

During this period, Arsenal fans were helplessly worried.

After entering this season, the invincible Arsenal team disappeared.

Everyone looked sick and tired, and they were dragging their feet when playing football.

During the game, they can often see Suarez running wildly in the frontcourt, Lucky and Kanter running wildly in the backcourt, and the 33-year-old Cech constantly diving for the ball.

The overall feeling is one of chaos.

They don't know what's going on with the team.

The media is overwhelmingly saying that Arsenal has suffered from champion syndrome.

Some people also say that the injuries to Wenger and Cazorla have brought huge trouble to Arsenal.

As much as I hate to believe it, these things are all to blame for Arsenal's current state.

After two rounds so far, Arsenal has recorded one draw, one loss and zero goals.

This also puts them at a historically low 16th place in the standings!

After dropping two places, we entered the relegation zone.

Are the Champions League champions in the relegation zone?

Even though it was early in the league, this was outrageous enough.

Anyway, many teams are currently waiting to see Arsenal's jokes.

If they do get into the relegation zone, it would be big news.

In this case, Arsenal once again welcomed the Magpies Newcastle at home.

This time, Newcastle can be said to be sharpening their skills.

After two rounds of games, Arsenal is in poor condition. This is a consensus thing.

For this reason, Newcastle want to surprise and take three points at the Emirates Stadium.

But soon, they were surprised to find that Arsenal's position had changed slightly this time.

After last season, Lucai once again came to the central midfielder position.

So, Arsenal will put the burden of intensifying the attack on Lucky?
