Chapter 7: Coaches Pit Players

The next day, Kearney training base.

Arteta approached Lucky.

"Did you have a party yesterday?"

Lucky nodded: "To enhance our relationship, don't worry you didn't drink."

Arteta was relieved and said: "The head coach also told me not to let you cause trouble to make the news."

Hearing this, Lucai couldn't help but laugh and said, "Compared to us, he has a higher chance of being in the news, right?"

Mourinho, crazy coach.

A natural topic maker!

It can be said that wherever Mourinho is, there will be topics.

After Lucky finished speaking, he saw Arteta's expression become embarrassed.

Lucky was stunned for a moment and said, "No way! How long has it been?"

Arteta nodded and said helplessly; "He had a quarrel with Manchester United's senior management on the Internet!"

"Manchester United senior management?" Le Kai was puzzled.

Arteta said: "The reason is that the tactics of Manchester United senior management to slander the head coach have fallen behind. He is no longer the world-famous coach. His coaching at Chelsea and Manchester United failed, etc. These words make the head coach very sad." Angry, the two started a verbal spat on the Internet, which was quickly noticed by the media. "

Lucky blinked and said, "What are you scolding?"

"Manchester United's senior management said that Mourinho is a stupid coach who can only use simple tactics such as midfield cannons. The head coach countered that the opponent did not understand football at all and mocked what kind of cannon Pogba is!"

"This" Lucky was shocked, Mourinho's counterattack was full of bullets.

Arteta smiled bitterly and said; "But the current situation is very unfavorable for the head coach, because many people agree with the words of Manchester United's top management, and the facts prove that ahem"

Arteta coughed dryly and said: "Anyway, don't mention the words "Cannon" and "Manchester United" in front of the head coach recently."

Lucky couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry; "I understand."

Mourinho had a gloomy face all day, and it was obvious that he was angry.

Although he didn't show too much irritability to the team members, there was a hint of harshness and anger in his tone.

Lucky is also following up.

After all, this is the biggest melon in football right now.

The altercation between Manchester United's top brass and Mourinho continues.

The two kept greeting each other's families.

Mourinho is indeed Mourinho, and his ability to get things done is first-rate.

Before the team members here could recruit much, they themselves caused trouble first.

However, in the new round of Mourinho's counterattack, Lucky was also affected.

Mourinho's latest counterattack.

"Cannon? Are you also calling that a cannon? I have never thought that Pogba is a truly outstanding core player. Look at how he plays. He cannot bear the absolute responsibility and responsibility of the team, even if my tactics are simple. , but it is also in line with the current fast-paced football tactics. Even a layman wants to argue with me. Do you have any results that you can achieve?"

"This season I will let you understand what a real championship team is and what a real midfield cannon is! At the same time, I will also tell you how stupid and failed your transfer plan is!"

Mourinho's words left the other party speechless.

Everyone knows that Mourinho is comparing Lucky with Pogba.

Looking at the performance throughout the season, Pogba and Lucky are really not at the same level.

Lucky is really big, but Pogba's performance is a lot less interesting.

Therefore, even if the Manchester United senior executive was angry, he had no way to refute, but he still said harsh words.

“We will teach you about your mistakes and failures through competition!”

Mourinho scoffed at this.

If it were any other time, that would be fine.

But at present, this team is his choice. As long as the running-in is completed, there is no reason to lose.

The conversation between the two finally subsided.

But a new round of topics began to grow again.

"Comparison of the abilities of Pogba and Kai!" 》

This is the evening headline of the Manchester Evening News, comparing Pogba to Lucky.

There is no doubt that, except for Manchester United fans, most people say that Lucky's ability is more powerful and his role is greater.

After all, Pogba has not performed sufficiently since his transfer to join, and has even been questioned as the biggest parallel import.

On the contrary, Lucky is the super big guy in the team!

But this topic has too much traffic, so the media intervenes and the troll army exerts its force.

Actually, many people began to speak for Pogba, saying that Pogba has not yet shown his full potential, but his ability is definitely higher than Lucky.

Under such indiscriminate comments, Lucky's fans became furious and began to fight back ferociously.

Both sides began to use various evidence on the Internet to argue the matter.

Lucky's results are naturally gorgeous.

But Pogba also had a good record at Juventus.

Under the quarrel between the two sides, the rhythm became louder and louder.

At this critical juncture, Pogba's personal website was suddenly updated.

"bogba>kai (Pogba>kai)"

This sentence ignited the topic again.

Even some well-known media are reporting the news.

Lucky was simply dragged down.

Lucky was also helpless at this time.

I've heard of head coaches telling players not to cause trouble.

But I have never heard of a head coach personally creating rhythm for the players!

For such topics, Lekai will not comment.

He doesn't like to waste words with these people, the truth will be revealed in the game.

However, Mourinho has been avoiding Lekai these days.

He also feels embarrassed.

After all, he personally set the pace for his captain, which led to the current topic.

In order to avoid these topics, Mourinho quickly found a warm-up match opponent.

All three pre-match warm-up matches were away games, which also meant to get out of the situation.

Arsenal had a total of five warm-up matches before the season.

The first three games were away games, and the last two were home games against Manchester City and Everton.

On July 26, the entire Arsenal team flew to Spain.

They will play against La Liga team Villarreal.

The entire game process was not open to the public, but Arsenal's defensive effect in this game was played out.

In this game, Arsenal used a brand new back line lineup.

Hummels partnered with Jimenez, and the two full-backs were Bellerin and Robertson.

The midfielders were Lukay and Kante.

This defensive lineup can be described in two words: "solid"!

And they did play very stably.

And Hummels' performance in this game was like a dream back to his peak period.

Throughout the 2015-2016 season, Hummels' performance in Dortmund was not particularly good, at least not as dominant as in his peak period.

In many cases, it was the lack of the defensive midfielder position, the lack of protection and the inability to defend.

But in Arsenal, he doesn't have to worry about this problem at all.

There are two big doors in front of him!

Lukay and Kante form the most favorable restriction channel, and even in many cases, the central defender does not need to come out, and the midfield line solves the battle.

This is a novel experience for Hummels, who suffers from the invasion of the back line.

In the past, as long as his condition was not good, the team would quickly fall apart.

But now, even if his condition is problematic, the strong midfield line can successfully cover the bottom.

On the other side, Jimenez also performed very well.

Although he has not yet formed a tacit cooperation with Hummels, both of them know how to defend and have strong ability to steal the ball. However, most of the time, Jimenez steals the ball and Hummels covers the bottom.

The two full-backs also played well.

Bellerin's speed has gained a great benefit under the solid defense line.

He can rush forward with confidence to help Arsenal attack.

Robertson can also pass excellent crosses on the left wing.

But the problem is that the center forward is a bit lame.

Lukaku always wants to kick the ball with his feet instead of heading it with his head.

Sometimes, even when he can head the ball into the goal, this guy has a brain twitch and wants to do a bicycle kick.

Lukaku's performance made Mourinho knock on his head.

He wanted to kick Lukaku.

But in the end, Arsenal won the game.

With a strong back line, Arsenal continued to counterattack, and finally Lucky completed a 30-meter long shot and hit the goal.

Seeing this goal, Mourinho's expression was slightly relieved.

Although the current running-in has not been successful, at least their thigh is still very powerful!
