Chapter 149 Learn to use the butt

  Whether Wenger will buy Kante, Lucky doesn't know.

   But he is sure that Kante will be a part of Arsenal's championship puzzle, and that Kante's presence will make Arsenal's midfield sweep even more violent.

   And it can largely make up for Lucky's pressure on the defensive end, which can also make Lucky more involved in offense and organization.

   Of course, all of this is still unknown. At this stage, Lucky still needs to enrich himself.

   Since Arteta asked Luckey to learn Yaya Toure, Luckey is also imitating Yaya Toure's kicking style.

   Modern football puts more and more emphasis on the system. Whether a player can perform well depends largely on whether he can integrate into a new system.

   And in this system, the midfielder is particularly important.

   At the same time, with the development of football tactics, the single-performance attacking midfielder gradually began to lose his former style.

   One of the most typical is the Turkic guy from Real Madrid.

   The current manager loves the all-round midfielder.

   This is as if Modric went to Real Madrid, the German lost his position, failed to find a suitable team in the last transfer period, and is still serving as a substitute in Real Madrid.

   Actually, Wenger likes technical players, but Wenger prefers the technical players he cultivates.

   At this stage, Le Kai is far from being a technical player, but his growth rate is fast, and his defensive attributes are full, so he has a great chance to grow into an all-round midfielder.

   This is also the reason why Wenger stopped signing in midfield and stepped up efforts to cultivate Lucky.

  The current Arsenal is still playing Arteta's rhythm, but from next season, Wenger is likely to use Luckey as a core player.

   Of course, it all depends on Lucky's attempts to play new tactics this season.

   As long as it is not too bad, according to Wenger's character, it will definitely be put into use immediately.

   But this also greatly increased Lucky's pressure.

   It is impossible to achieve rapid technical growth, so Luckey and Patrice started training in the other direction.

   In the equipment room, Lucky carried the barbell and sat up and squatted again and again.

   The frequency of squatting up is very fast, and instead of getting up slowly, it is a 'swish' and abruptly stand up.

   This can be a good exercise for the explosive power of the thighs.

   Frequent and rapid squatting made Lucky's thighs feel numb, stiff and sore.

   Lucky's eyes were piercing, and his mouth drank again and again.

"stand up!"

   "Comeon!"

"Cool!"

"Again!"

   Looking at Lucky's practice, Patrice couldn't help grinning.

   He had never seen anyone so fond of exercising muscles.

  Clap!

   Patrice clapped.

   Lucky's quick squatting movement suddenly stopped, and he maintained it quietly in a squatting position.

   His legs began to tremble slightly, and Patrice clapped his hands; "Okay! Put down the barbell and start stretching!"

  Le Kai immediately put down the barbell and shook the sweat from his head.

   The muscles on both buttocks and thighs were a little sore, Lucky squatted down and immediately started stretching.

Patrice walked to Lucky and said, "If you don't have enough skills, you need to know how to use your **** if you want to secure the ball! Don't think this is useless training. In a competition area with fierce competition like the Premier League, When you hold the ball with your back, there is a high possibility of being hit, so if you don’t want to be hit, you can increase the strength of the bottom plate and learn how to use the muscles of the buttocks.”

   Le Kai nodded as he stretched: "I've seen Yaya Toure also like to pout."

  Patrice: "Those top players know how to use their ass."

  Arsenal ushered in the England League Cup quarter-finals.

   But in this game, most of the main players including Lucky got a rest.

  Arsenal has just ended the devil's schedule, and needs to take into account the league, FA Cup, and Champions League events, so this game belongs to Wenger's heart. It belongs to a game that can be given up at any time.

   And it's just a good time to let the main players take a break.

   Throughout the game, Arsenal played as a substitute, and many newcomers got the chance to play, which also gave the substitutes a chance to show their talents.

   After reaching the quarter-finals, almost all teams from the lower leagues were eliminated.

   And Arsenal's opponent is Norwich.

  Norwich have not played well this season, the league points are at the bottom, and they may enter the relegation zone at any time.

   And the poor record also caused dissatisfaction among the fans. In order to save some of the situation, the team made great efforts in the English League Cup.

   For a full 90 minutes, both sides fell into a fierce battle.

   Arsenal, who were on the bench, played back and forth with Norwich. In the end, the Norwich center relied on a big penalty area to score a goal. Arsenal lost 0:1 to Norwich and were eliminated in the British League Cup.

  The elimination of the English League Cup made the face of Arsenal's substitutes extremely heavy, and they were obviously not satisfied with their performance.

   But Wenger did not reprimand them either. After all, for Wenger, how the League Cup is irrelevant, and at most one training event is lost.

   Arsenal are chasing the league and the FA Cup this season.

   As for the Champions League!

   Wenger is out of ideas for the time being.

   With the current Arsenal lineup, it is impossible to challenge the Champions League while taking into account the league.

   Dive into the UEFA Champions League, the most likely outcome is not to win any honors, and also lose the Champions League qualification!

   This is not worth the loss.

  After finishing the League Cup, Arsenal ushered in the challenge of Everton at home.

   During the game, Le Kai returned to his old position and played a cameo role as a full-back.

  No way!

   In the past World Cup European qualifiers, Koscielny and Monreal were injured and needed a two- to three-week recovery period.

   Arsenal's 'World Cup Syndrome' has struck.

   Due to the lack of the back line, Le Kai could only return to his old position and play as a full-back.

   Throughout the game, Le Kai's performance at full-back was prudent.

   After all, he has played this position before, so he is no stranger.

   In addition, Le Kai, who is a cameo fullback, can always form a linkage with the frontcourt on the wing where he is, and play a few waves of good attacks.

   But even so, Arsenal failed to win at home.

   The two sides drew 1:1.

   In fact, Arsenal's current problems are not limited to the back line. Wilshere in the midfield is also in a tired skin.

   With the devil's schedule and the European qualifiers for the World Cup, this guy's stamina has been almost drained, and his state has declined ridiculously.

   Arsenal's bench cannot provide effective support.

  In the past, Arsenal always entered a weak period in the middle of the season, and now there are various signs that Arsenal are starting to become turbulent again.

   Fortunately, the Asian preliminaries have ended, and Lucky's side was not affected.

   Otherwise, the professor's head will start to ache again.

   Of course, it’s not just Arsenal that is affected, but other clubs with the main players of the national team. After all, the ‘World Cup syndrome’ is not limited to Arsenal.

   The more wealthy, the greater the influence.

   But these teams got through with enough bench thickness.

  On November 27th, in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, Arsenal played against Marseille at home.

   In this game, Le Kai returned to the midfield position, and Ramsey was placed in the full-back position.

  The reason is very simple. After the midfielder lost Luckey's sweep, Mertesacker's problems broke out completely.

   Therefore, Wenger put Luckey in front of Mertesacker as an insurance, while Ramsey was a cameo full-back.

   The effect of this game is obviously higher than the previous 14 rounds of the league.

   Ramsey's performance in the full-back position is not particularly exciting, but it is stable enough.

   And after Lekai returned to midfield, he once again showed that sweeping ability.

   Marseille, after supporting for 60 minutes, was finally penetrated by Rosicky, Walcott and Suarez.

After    scored the first goal, Arsenal's game environment became a lot easier.

  80 minutes, it was Rosicky's long-range shot through the opponent's goal again.

  Arsenal leads Marseille 2-0.

   Throughout the whole game, the most depressing one was Marseille striker Gignac.

   In his confrontation with Lucky, safety did not prevail.

   In other words, he was directly stared to death by Lucky.

  The high-altitude ball and the ground ball could not be grabbed. Although he tried several shots, he almost failed to hit the goal frame.

  In the end, Arsenal doubled Marseille in the group stage and won their fourth victory.

   The current points of Group F are as follows.

  1: Arsenal: 4-0-1, 12 points.

  2: Dortmund, 4-0-1, 12 points.

  3: Naples, 2-0-3, 6 points.

  3: Marseille, 0-0-5, 0 points.

   With the last round left, Arsenal and Dortmund have already confirmed their places for promotion.

   But the two teams have the same points, Arsenal have one more goal difference and are currently biting very hard.

   In the end, who can win the first place in the group has not yet been determined

   But the breakthrough in the group stage also relieved Wenger and the Arsenal players.

   After all, the previous devil race really made them extremely uncomfortable.

   But now is not the time to relax our vigilance. After all, after January, Arsenal need to fight on the third line, not only to take into account the league and the Champions League, but also an FA Cup.
