Chapter 517 Champions League first match

  In the training ground, Arsenal players are conducting a training match.

   Judging from the situation on the field, the entire offense and defense are extremely smooth, but if you look carefully, it is not difficult to find the frustration of Arsenal when attacking.

   This is a sense of frustration under a sudden change of rhythm.

   It mainly comes from the cooperation between Wilshere and Aubameyang.

  Although the two organizers have formed a certain tacit understanding, it is difficult to integrate due to the different styles.

  Of course, if you ignore this detail, the overall performance is still excellent.

   Lucky and Patrice stood on the sidelines.

   Le Kai said: "It can only be done to this extent. The two of them have already cooperated in some gestures, but this is already the limit. If you want to fully adapt, you need more time to invest in it."

  Patrice also nodded and said: "I didn't think about the perfect cooperation between them, as long as you can play a sufficient role and take organizational responsibility when you can't support it."

   Lucky nodded.

   Patrice said suddenly; "It would be great if Cazorla was here."

  Hearing this, Le Kai also shook his head and smiled wryly.

  If Cazorla is still there, the cooperation between Lucky and Cazorla is enough to bring Arsenal back to life.

  Even during the period when Lucky was exercising his big core attributes, Cazorla and Lucky's partner could still guarantee enough wins, instead of playing extremely stalemate like now.

   Of course, this is also the situation that most Premier League fans need to face.

  Last season, Arsenal played smoothly. There are reasons for their soaring strength, and there are also reasons why many clubs lack sufficient research on this brand new Gunner.

  But after entering this season, Arsenal experienced many blows and suffered a dismal start, and their state went up and down.

  Although Patrice really wanted to reverse this situation, he also knew very well that it would be difficult to accomplish this problem with his half-baked coaching ability.

   Of course, at present, there is no head coach more suitable for this position than Patrice.

  After all, Patrice is the interim coach, and Arsenal is served by him. After all, he is the former assistant coach of Arsenal, and has the support of the captain Lucky. No one dares to challenge Patrice's authority.

   With a brand new head coach, there can only be two developments.

  Or, Arsenal played a flower everywhere and continued their glory.

  Or, the conflict between the players and the coach broke out completely, and Arsenal collapsed directly.

   And the latter is more likely.

  In this case, Patrice is undoubtedly the best person to take over.

   "The next game, we will play Astana!"

   This is the first time for a team from Kazakhstan to enter the UEFA Champions League group stage, and this has also become a highlight moment for this team.

  Although many people have said that this is the weakest team in Group C, Arsenal's current state cannot guarantee victory.

   After all, the success of studying Arsenal has been announced all over the world, and many people know how to target this Arsenal.

  When Lucky cannot get out of the restrictions independently, Arsenal's offense will become weak.

  So, Astana will definitely use this point as a breakthrough.

   "Can you break free in the next game?"

   Patrice asked.

   Le Kai pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "I don't know, I can't guarantee it! But I will try my best to get rid of it."

  Ability is not achieved overnight. After each game, Lucky has tasted the results of training and won the opponent's highest standard three-man defense.

   Now what is placed in front of Lucky is how to break through this restrictive circle.

  Of course, Le Kai was also a little depressed. After all, he was targeted by the opponent just after kicking out the effect.

   But it is understandable to think about it. Arsenal's championship team, it is estimated that all clubs in the world do not want to see Arsenal return to the state of last season.

  So, they update Arsenal's information very quickly.

  At the same time, the defense against Lucky also became fierce.

   Le Kai is fine in the defensive midfielder position. Once he appears in the central midfielder, he will be guarded strictly.

   But Le Kai retreated to the position of the midfielder, and he could not show enough offensive performance.

   This is an extremely spear-squatting thing, and it also shows Lucky's technical shortcomings.

   "If only I could play like Cazorla."

   Lucky shook his head.

  He also wants to be a samba dancer with brilliant ball skills.

  However, the body does not allow it!

  Everyone's body build shows that there are many movements that Cazorla can do, but Lucky can't.

  If Lucky can still play like Cazorla with his own abilities, he is probably what Wenger called Arsenal's super core.

  Patrice turned to look at Lucky.

  He could see the urgency of this disciple from Le Kai's frown.

  The fact is also true, Lucky is the captain of Arsenal, but also a core player.

  The current situation of Arsenal is not good, and Lucky, who is the core, blames himself is also a matter of course.

   After all, if this core is strong enough and has no shortcomings, will Arsenal still encounter this situation?

   Lucky asked himself, if they could break through the circle of restrictions on their own, then they would not need to divide the organization.

   "Don't think about these questions!"

Patrice patted Lucky on the shoulder and said, "Everyone is an independent individual. Cazorla has his own way of playing football, and you also have your own way of playing football. The so-called big-core style of play is of course A player without flaws, but is there really a player without flaws?"

   Patrice smiled and said: "Every midfielder is a different type. Yaya Toure and Modric have no shortcomings, but are they really the same type of players?"

   Lucy was stunned for a moment.

  Pattles continued; "So, don't think about who you are. There are some things that cannot be achieved by training. You have to learn how to hide or solve them."

   Le Kai thought for a while, then scratched his head and said, "I don't really understand."

  Patrice shrugged; "You will understand in the future, play more football and gain more experience. The one who knows yourself best is always yourself. I can give you advice, but I can't help you completely solve these problems."

   Lucky nodded.

   Patrice smiled and clapped his hands, calling the players.

   "Boys, gather at the training base at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. We are going to Kazakhstan."

  Hearing this, the faces of the Arsenal players became serious.

   They are very clear that this is to prepare for the Champions League game.

   As last season's Champions League champions, their performance this season cannot be too bad.

  The good news is that the opponents in the first game are not strong, which may allow them to accumulate some game status.

   The next day, the Arsenal players took a plane to Asnata, the capital of Kazakhstan, also known as Nur-Sultan.

   Club Astana entered the UEFA Champions League group stage for the first time in history. When they broke through the qualifying round, the whole of Kazakhstan was boiling.

  As a league ranked low in European football, Kazakhstan has never had a team that has seen the attitude of the Champions League.

  They also failed to appreciate the demeanor of those world-class superstars.

   So for Kazakhstan fans, this day is extraordinarily different.

  Astana Stadium is a home stadium with 30,000 people in Rongan. Due to the sluggish football market in Kazakhstan, there are only a few thousand spectators in this stadium all year round.

  For this reason, in most cases, the other courses are almost closed, and a course on one side is opened separately.

   But this time, the Astana Stadium opened the stands in all areas and sold all the tickets in just one day.

  The reason is simple, Kazakhstan fans came to see Arsenal!

   As the champion of the Champions League!

  The team has Suarez, Lucky, Aubameyang and many other stars, and it is a rich team with a long history in the Premier League. How can they miss this kind of game.

   For every Kazakhstan fan or non-fan, they want to see the demeanor of this Champions League champion and Premier League Gunner.

  Not only the fans, but even the Astana players are extremely excited.

  Although the opponent is Arsenal, they are also very nervous, but deep down they are full of excitement.

   After all, this is the first time they have reached the Champions League group stage, and they can have a direct dialogue with a giant team like Arsenal.

   It can be said that this is the peak moment of their current career!
