Chapter 1068: Warm-ups and massacres

  On July 30th, Arsenal issued a summoning order, and Arsenal players from all over the world also rushed back.

  The originally quiet training base became lively in just two days.

  August 1st, Arsenal finished gathering, started the new season makeup photos, and prepared for the new season at the same time.

  Because of the connection with the World Cup, there is not much problem in the individual state.

  During the routine physical examination, there was no indulgence. For the first-team players, most of them are international players, and there is almost no chance of indulgence.

   Except for the slight fatigue in the body, the rest are very good.

  Of course, the most fortunate thing is that after the World Cup, the players belonging to Arsenal did not suffer any injuries in this national competition. This is good news for Mourinho and Arsenal.

  "The new season is about to start, and the Community Shield Cup will start on August 8th. This is the first task at the beginning of the season. Win our first season championship!"

  Under the scorching sun, Mourinho's voice was sonorous and powerful.

  Anyone can hear the confidence in Mourinho's words.

  After two seasons of precipitation, Mourinho believes that this team has been fully adjusted, and its combat effectiveness has reached its peak.

  And after having the energy to win the World Cup, the confidence of Giroud, Kanter and other players has also increased exponentially.

  The most intuitive change is that Kanter no longer plays a monotonous defensive role in the midfield, and sometimes even chooses to advance independently and distribute the ball.

  The previous Arsenal also asked Kanter to do so, but he hardly did it.

  This is based on Kanter's lack of self-confidence in himself, but after experiencing the World Cup, Kanter played more confidently.

   This is very good news for Arsenal and Mourinho.

  Of course, Lucky as the core is also the focus of attention.

   Lucky's state has always been guaranteed, and he hardly has the ups and downs of other players, or even falls into a bad state.

  For this reason, the entire Arsenal maintained an extremely strong fighting spirit on the first day of training.

  Due to time constraints, Arsenal only made an appointment for this season's warm-up match.

  Mourinho thinks one game is enough.

  The team is the same as last season, and there will be almost no major problems. The only thing that needs to be solved is some small adjustments.

   For this reason, Mourinho contacted Real Betis in La Liga.

  In last season's La Liga standings, Real Betis was in a position of neither high nor low, and it was considered a neither strong nor weak opponent, just suitable for training.

   And Real Betis is also very happy to have a warm-up match with Arsenal.

   After all, after abusing a few big teams, they also need to be pressured by a top team like Arsenal.

  Relying on the performance of last season, many teams wanted to play warm-up matches with Arsenal, but Mourinho refused them all.

  Real Betis is a special case, for which they are extremely happy.

  Of course, they themselves don't know what Arsenal is after them.

   But when the game started, they regretted their original decision.

  Real Betis has a record of two wins in the previous two rounds of warm-up matches.

   The process cannot be said to be too easy, but they have successfully completed their tactical mission.

  For this reason, the coach of Real Betis decided to make an appointment with Arsenal in order to suppress these boys who are easy to swell.

  But just after the game started, everything went beyond his expectations.

  In less than 5 minutes, Arsenal took advantage of a chance to counterattack and distributed the ball to Le Kai on the left side of the penalty area.

   Le Kai quickly started along the penalty area line, opened up the shooting space, and scored directly with a kick.

   This shot is an absolute dead end, piercing Real Betis's goal.

   Until the moment the ball entered the field, Real Betis players didn't know what happened.

  They thought that Lucky would pass the ball to the right, but they didn't expect to shoot directly.

  However, we can also see Lucky's excellent state.

   Lucky's goal boosted Arsenal's morale, and even the coaches on the sidelines nodded with a smile.

  The guarantee of Lucky's status is the most important thing for Arsenal.

  This means that they can more easily carry out the running-in work before the game.

   The same is true.

  After Lucky opened the scoring, Arsenal had no intention of stopping their attacking pace at all, attacking with all their might.

   Lucky's role in the midfield is also fully reflected.

  Different from the limited performance during the World Cup, Lucy is surrounded by top teammates at this time, they can read Lucy's thoughts, and at the same time keep up with Lucky's rhythm.

   For this reason, Lucky is also unreserved and fully fired.

   Pass the ball with one foot to penetrate forward, and at the same time form a running-in pass and cut cooperation with teammates.

   Ground penetration.

  Long pass.

   Rapid counterattack and so on.

  Arsenal presented almost all the tactics they played last season, and when they recovered, the score had reached 3:0.

Yes!

   Before the end of the first half, Arsenal scored three goals.

   After Lucky opened the scoring, Giroud scored twice.

   Giroud's condition is really good.

  With the bonus of winning the World Cup and his own excellent state, Giroud scored two goals. These two goals are very typical center forwards.

   At this time, the players of Real Betis were already in a trance.

  They played very well in the previous two games, and their cooperation was also very exciting.

   But when we played against Arsenal, everything felt terrible.

  Whether it's rhythm control or transition between offense and defense, everything seems to be led by the nose.

  They know that Arsenal is the top team in Europe, and may even be one of the hardest bones in Europe this season.

   But the gap can't be so big, right?

  With no obvious mistakes, the opponent scored three goals in 40 minutes.

  Can't accept it!

  Real Betis players can't accept this gap.

   But the warm-up match will continue.

  In the second half, Arsenal made some personnel adjustments.

   Aubameyang and Mane were replaced.

   Young players such as Saka and Odegaard got the chance to play.

   Warm-up match!

   In the absence of a commercial nature, almost everyone gets playing time.

   But even with the replacement, Arsenal's offensive is still fast.

   Even with the addition of young people, the offensive has become more aggressive.

  Saka is watching from the wing, and Odegaard's organization and forward penetration in the frontcourt are also very strong.

   Even with the existence of Giroud, a greedy guy, Arsenal scored two goals again in just 10 minutes under wave after wave of offensive.

   Giroud completed a hat-trick in this game.

   Kanter also scored a strong shot.

  The score has come to 5:0.

   This is beyond the scope of the warm-up match.

  The players of Real Betis were almost kicked stupid, and the head coach of the other side also had a gloomy face.

  He knows that Arsenal is very strong, and he also knows the gap between the two sides.

   But the problem is, you can't just give me no face, can you?

   Substitution!

  Arsenal still gave face.

   Giroud, Lucky, Kanter, Hummels, Jimenez and other main players are all gone.

   Mourinho almost changed the players on the field.

  He can see it, these guys are all looking at each other's goal and working hard.

  Of course this is not a bad thing, but the problem is that this is a warm-up match!

  You can't ignore the other person's feelings.

  If it’s a game, it’s okay to say, you can play as you want, and how many goals you score is your own ability.

   But the warm-up match cannot be like this.

   Do you still have an appointment in the future?

  In this case, Mourinho directly replaced all these unsatisfied guys.

  The game entered a normal rhythm.

   But even so, the final score was 7:1.

   Even though Arsenal completed the substitution, Lukaku and Erdegao scored goals respectively.

  Although Real Betis also scored a goal at the last minute, it seems that Arsenal is waterproofing.

  Finally, the head coaches of both sides shook hands and the game ended.

  The coach of Real Betis had a gloomy face, and he hadn't smiled almost since the start of the game.

   Mourinho is not a good person, but at this moment he actually felt a little apologetic.

   After all, they took the initiative to invite someone to play a warm-up match, and then scored 7 goals, which is a bit unkind.

   But the outcome is set, and they have nothing to do.

  Finally, the two sides reached an agreement, and the score of this game will be kept secret.
