Chapter 193 The first step towards the Premier League championship
If it is said that Ye Luo has now got the favor of the players in the Arsenal dressing room.
Then next.
What Ye Luo brought to Arsenal's players was fright.
The physical examination will end soon.
Ye Luo ranks first in all three categories of speed, stamina, and strength!
Although some players have not returned to the team.
But the Arsenal players know it too.
Based on the statistics shown by Ye Luo, even if the players who returned to the team returned, they still could not surpass him!
What kind of monster is this?
Did it come from an alien planet?
After the Arsenal players finished sideways, they looked at Ye Luo as if they were monsters.
Speed, stamina, strength.
It is not uncommon for any of these three items to rank first.
But to say that all three are the first
That's really counterintuitive.
But now Ye Luo's body data is in front of everyone.
This can't be faked.
During the 4*10 meter back and forth run, Ye Luo finished the last back and forth run, and most of the players still had a round to go.
in front of such data.
The Arsenal players were completely convinced.
They originally had doubts about Ye Luo's physical condition, but now it seems that they thought too much
This Ye Luo is very healthy.
And after getting the players' side data.
The coaches of the team began to get together to discuss the training plan for each player.
Colin Muller, a member of the coaching staff and a sports scientist, exclaimed after seeing Ye Luo's physical measurement data: "I think Ye Luo has completely prepared physically for the new season, and his physical training plan can cut most of it. Just keep the basic physical recovery training."
"In this way, we can let him participate more in the team's joint training, and let other players follow his rhythm faster." The team's chief assistant coach Steve Black said.
"That's right, as long as Ye's body is healthy, no matter what lineup we field next season, he will be the core of the field." Technical analyst Pierre Carobe said while rubbing his chin.
Wenger looked at Ye Luo's physical test report as if looking at a treasure, suppressing the excitement in his heart.
"As for Ye Luo's training plan, most of the physical fitness and strength training will be cancelled, and more teamwork exercises will be involved, so that other players can have a certain tacit understanding and cooperation with Ye Luo as much as possible."
Wenger put down the side report in hand and said.
In the next few days, Ye Luo always arranged different players around him and tried different combinations of midfield and frontcourt.
Arsenal players know why.
In other words.
Whoever can call Ye Luo more will get more chances to play in the new season!
Thus.
Ye Luo's status in Arsenal's dressing room is almost detached. He is the core of the team's tactical core on the field.
And Wenger also confessed to Ye Luo, hoping that he can use the more than one month before the season to complete the run-in with the whole team as much as possible.
This is reflected in the team's training game when Ye Luo began to pass the ball more to get his teammates used to his rhythm, and at the same time, he also completed the understanding of other players in the team in the process.
As the players who participated in the European Cup gradually returned.
a week later.
The Arsenal team boarded a plane to the United States, and they will participate in this year's International Champions Cup.
The International Champions Cup is a preseason brand that has emerged in the past two years, and many big-name teams will participate.
Divided into North America and Asia.
However, Arsenal have rarely participated in the International Champions Cup before.
Because Arsenal has its own pre-season warm-up cup - the Emirates Cup.
However, due to the reasons for the London Olympics this year, the Emirates Stadium was requisitioned as the venue for Olympic football matches.
So this year's Emirates Cup has been cancelled.
As a result, Arsenal was invited by the International Champions Cup to participate in this commercial event that many wealthy teams will participate in.
This year's International Champions Cup also invited many giant teams, including Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Juventus and other teams in the North American division.
Arsenal will face Bayer Leverkusen, Real Madrid, Juventus and local team Los Angeles Galaxy in North America.
When Arsenal's plane landed in New York, USA, a large number of fans had already gathered around the airport.
Most of the fans came for Ye Luo.
In addition to the local Chinese fans in North America, there are also quite a few local fans - football is not as popular in the United States as rugby, baseball and other sports, but with the influx of Latin American immigrants into the United States, football The popularity of exercise is also on the rise.
In recent years, the International Champions Cup has also gained a lot of popularity in the United States.
Last year, when Real Madrid and Manchester United played in Los Angeles, more than 8 fans poured into the stadium to watch the game.
The "box office results" can be said to be quite good.
In fact, there may not really be that many football fans in the United States.
But sports is largely a "social activity" in the United States.
People who come to watch the game may not really understand football, but they mainly want to join in the fun.
Since it is to join in the fun, then someone with a big name must join in the fun.
This is why Real Madrid and Manchester United sold more than 8 tickets for the commercial match in the United States last year.
And when the Arsenal players walked out of the airport, they were all stunned by the scene in front of them-Arsenal is also a well-known team, but when have they seen such a scene?
A large number of fans wearing Yello's Arsenal No. 10 jersey cheered Yello's name at the airport.
Many of the bold and unrestrained big Yanmars took off their jerseys directly, and their lights were shining.
Afterwards, the local media in the United States reported that: Arsenal received a warmer welcome in the United States than Real Madrid, and the reason was only because of Ye Luo!
Ye Luo's crazy performance last season, coupled with his handsome appearance, quickly made him a new generation of football idols.
As a result, Arsenal has been treated like a super giant like Real Madrid.
After coming to the United States, in addition to training, Arsenal also needs to participate in some commercial activities-in fact, this is the reason why many head coaches are more resistant to going abroad to play commercial games.
This will cause a certain degree of interference to the team's pre-season training.
But now football and business are very deeply bound, and no professional team can avoid these things.
The fans are of course concerned about the team's competitive state.
The first game in the United States was against Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen.
In this game, many fans were expecting Ye Luo's performance.
But everyone could see that Ye Luo didn't make much effort in this game, he just moved, received and passed the ball in the midfield.
And only played halftime, did not score, but had an assist.
In the second half, both sides made a large-scale substitution of 11 players for 11 players-this is a business game, there is no restriction on substitutions at all, and the rules were discussed by both sides.
The score of the final game was two to two, Arsenal and Leverkusen drew.
After the game, many media were talking about Ye Luo's performance.
"Is Ye Luo not exerting force or not being able to exert force?"
"Is there really something wrong with your body? Do you want to transform?"
"In this game, Ye Luo is the player with the most passes in the game, but he has almost no active physical confrontation!"
"Obviously, he is avoiding confrontation!"
Many media have made such judgments.
[Manchester Evening News] reporter Samuel Lukehorst wrote on Twitter: "There is a very interesting statistic. Ye Luo, the surmounting king of the previous two seasons, did not make a breakthrough in this game. Yes! Not a single time!"
His remarks made many Manchester City fans greatly relieved-our Manchester City finally did not become a clown!We were right to return Yelo!There must be something wrong with his body, otherwise why would the extraordinary king be inferior to others!
have to say.
The brain power of media reporters is really strong.
The reason why Ye Luo played like this was entirely at the request of the coaching team. They asked Ye Luo to develop a tacit understanding with other players as soon as possible, to pass the ball more, and to find a sense of cooperation in the game. The choice of this style of play is not because he will not be able to excel - anyway, it is just a warm-up match, the result is not important, the key is to get used to it, and Ye Luo's style of play is also to understand more about his teammates' catches, It's just a habit of running.
But after this game, when Ye Luo saw these reports, his heart moved and he took the initiative to find Wenger.
"You said... you want to give these media a... surprise?!"
"That's right, boss, I'm looking forward to the first round of the season." Ye Luo blinked and said.
Wenger laughed dumbfounded.
Their opponent in the first round of the Premier League is Liverpool.
Who did Liverpool provoke?
If they believed the nonsense of the media, they would probably die a terrible death.
The opponent in the second game of the International Champions Cup is Real Madrid.
Ye Luo is very familiar with this opponent.
However, he still did not exert his strength, but organized and connected the team through skillful running and passing. This style of play made Arsenal and Real Madrid play on par. At the end of the first half, the two sides Arsenal lead two to one.
However, in the second half, after both sides removed the main players from the starting lineup and replaced them with players from the reserve team and the youth team, the gap between the two teams was reflected.
In the second half, Real Madrid scored two goals to reverse the game.
Arsenal eventually lost to Real Madrid [-]-[-].
Two warm-up matches, one draw and one loss, not to mention the media, even Arsenal's own fans were muttering.
But you said Ye Luo did not perform well?
When he was on the pitch, Arsenal was playing against Real Madrid.
But is this the scene fans want to see?
Certainly not.
Because the image Ye Luo brings to the fans is a sharp breakthrough and unreasonable scoring ability.
No goals in two games now.
Although there are two assists, although there are a lot of passes, although Arsenal seem to play well and orderly when he is on the court.
But this is not the Ye Luo fans want to see!
"Is there really something wrong with Ye Luo's health?"
This idea lingers in the minds of many Arsenal fans.
Originally thought to introduce a hot spot, a super scorer, but now it has become a passer.
Although passing the ball is also very important, it is always not as refreshing as a super scorer
Even Arsenal fans thought so.
Fans of other teams, as well as the media, are of course even more imaginative.
In the next two games, Ye Luo would still play like this.
Arsenal's result was one draw and one win-in the end, Arsenal's four warm-up matches in the United States had one win, two draws and one loss, and the winning game was played by the American League team Los Angeles Galaxy.
Such a result really worries Arsenal fans.
And after playing these four games.
The team took a plane back to London.
The first round of the Premier League is about to start in a week.
The team must also enter the final pre-season adjustments, and everything is starting to prepare for the sprint to the new season.
before the start of the new season.
Public opinion is naturally uproarious.
The first is the signings of each team.
Manchester United have reached an agreement with Arsenal.
Van Persie moved to Manchester United with a transfer fee of 400 million pounds.
In addition, Manchester United also negotiated a transfer fee of 700 million pounds for Dortmund midfielder Shinji Kagawa.
Manchester United's signings are not big, but Van Persie's switch to Manchester United is undoubtedly one of the biggest transfer news in the Premier League this season.
The Arsenal captain switched to rival Manchester United, which undoubtedly became the biggest topic for Manchester United fans to laugh at Arsenal.
Arsenal and Manchester United are not historically considered enemies.
But because of the fierce competition between the two sides in the 90s and early 21st century for more than ten years.
The relationship between the fans of both sides is not harmonious.
Being able to disgust competitors in the matter of transfers.
Of course, Manchester United fans will not let it go.
And the Premier League defending champion Manchester City's move is not too big.
They successively purchased Rodwell, Maicon, Richard Wright, Nastaski, and Harvey Garcia.
They are all signings around 1000 million pounds.
However, Manchester City's lineup is already very luxurious, and these signings are at most minor repairs to the existing lineup.
Another blockbuster signing happened at Chelsea.
Before the start of the season, Chelsea finalized the Belgian striker Hazard, who will transfer to Chelsea from Ligue 3000 Lille for [-] pounds.
In addition, Chelsea also bought Brazilian midfielder Oscar for 500 million pounds, and at the same time took Spanish right back Azpilicueta from Marseille.
Liverpool has transferred two players, Joe Allen and Pollini, and also loaned midfielder Shaheen from Real Madrid. Compared with other teams, the degree of reinforcement is not too large.
In addition to Ye Luo, Arsenal also have three new players, Cazorla, Giroud and Podolski.
In theory, the strength of the team has improved a lot.
However, due to the team's poor performance in the warm-up match, many media are still not very optimistic about Arsenal's season prospects.
As the new season gets closer and closer.
More and more media began to focus on the focus of the first round: Liverpool vs. Arsenal.
[Liverpool Echo] When looking ahead to this game, the focus is on how to deal with Yello.
".Arsenal's four warm-up games in the United States were not very good. They only won the weak Los Angeles Galaxy. The way Ye Luo played in these four games was very interesting. He hardly took the initiative to fight physically. There is no sprint, no breakthrough. Although his passing is very precise and he has created a lot of threats through passing, this is obviously not the Yello that people expected! Maybe Liverpool can actively improve the rhythm and intensity of the game , show Ye Luo the game rhythm that belongs to the Premier League!"
The opinion of [Liverpool Echo] is the mainstream view of many media in England during this period.
Didn't you, Ye Luo, hide from your body to fight?
just.
The Premier League is one of the most "rude" leagues.
it's here.
Avoiding physical confrontation is not acceptable!
Many media's advice to Liverpool is to "give Ye Luo a body".
Rodgers, the new Liverpool manager, is also studying Yello.
He watched and watched video of Ye Luo's four warm-up games at Arsenal.
"This guy isn't pushing at all, is he?"
Rogers said to his assistants.
"Could it be a smoke bomb?"
"It's unlikely. Maybe he's really afraid of physical confrontation?" Rogers' assistant coach frowned.
Ye Luo is afraid of physical confrontation?
This sounds a little unreliable.
This guy knocked Boateng and Dante head-on in the air in the Champions League final and scored with a header.
But judging from the warm-up match, he is indeed suspected of "dodging physical confrontation".
"In any case, this guy is the core of Arsenal. Even if he doesn't break through, the whole Arsenal team is obviously playing around him. He is the Arsenal with the most touches and passes in these games. Player." Rodgers stood up and said.
"We don't care whether he is kicking back or has physical problems, anyway. The defensive strategy for this game is to give this guy some strength!"
Rogers pointed to Ye Luo on the screen and said.
With the footsteps of the league getting closer.
There is also growing interest in Liverpool's home game against Arsenal - the opener of the Premier League this season.
The opening game has attracted a lot of attention, and it is another strong dialogue.
So the whole of England, no, it should be said that the whole of Europe is watching this game.
If there is no accident in this game, Ye Luo will definitely start.
And judging from Arsenal's pre-match warm-up, you can't say that Ye Luo's condition is poor, but he just didn't meet people's expectations of his level last season.
This provides strong support for the view that "Ye Luo has a physical problem".
But Wenger backed Yello at the pre-match press conference.
"The warm-up match can't explain anything. The purpose of the warm-up match is never to win, but to run the team. We will know how he is in the new season when the game starts!"
Ye Luo, who attended the press conference with Wenger, was also "besieged" by the media.
Reasonably.
In the first game of the new season, the captain and the head coach should attend the press conference together.
Now that Ye Luo and Wenger are attending the press conference, is Ye Luo the captain of this season?
Facing the reporter's question.
Wenger gave a positive answer.
"Of course, he will be the captain on the field. He is the leader of the Arsenal dressing room now. The players support Ye to wear the captain's armband."
Wenger said.
"When you come to the team and become the captain without even playing an official game, don't you feel the pressure?"
a reporter asked.
"Pressure? Pressure is everywhere, but I will never be afraid of pressure. Pressure is my motivation. I am very happy to wear the Arsenal captain's armband, and I am very grateful to my teammates for their support. As for tomorrow's game, I will I have great respect for Liverpool, but we are here for the three points. This will be our first step towards the Premier League title this season!"
Ye Luo said.
"Wait...the Premier League champion?" A reporter couldn't help interrupting Ye Luo, "Do you think Arsenal can surpass Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, and rank ahead of these three teams?"
"Why not?"
Ye Luo asked back.
in his mission panel.The main task has already been done.
"Belongs to the unprecedented pinnacle of the arsenal."

After the Arsenal players finished sideways, they looked at Ye Luo as if they were monsters.
Speed, stamina, strength.
It is not uncommon for any of these three items to rank first.

That's really counterintuitive.

"In this way, we can let him participate more in the team's joint training, and let other players follow his rhythm faster." The team's chief assistant coach Steve Black said.
"That's right, as long as Ye's body is healthy, no matter what lineup we field next season, he will be the core of the field." Technical analyst Pierre Carobe said while rubbing his chin.
Wenger looked at Ye Luo's physical test report as if looking at a treasure, suppressing the excitement in his heart.
"As for Ye Luo's training plan, most of the physical fitness and strength training will be cancelled, and more teamwork exercises will be involved, so that other players can have a certain tacit understanding and cooperation with Ye Luo as much as possible."
Wenger put down the side report in hand and said.
In the next few days, Ye Luo always arranged different players around him and tried different combinations of midfield and frontcourt.

The opening game has attracted a lot of attention, and it is another strong dialogue.
So the whole of England, no, it should be said that the whole of Europe is watching this game.
If there is no accident in this game, Ye Luo will definitely start.
And judging from Arsenal's pre-match warm-up, you can't say that Ye Luo's condition is poor, but he just didn't meet people's expectations of his level last season.
This provides strong support for the view that "Ye Luo has a physical problem".
But Wenger backed Yello at the pre-match press conference.
"The warm-up match can't explain anything. The purpose of the warm-up match is never to win, but to run the team. We will know how he is in the new season when the game starts!"
Ye Luo, who attended the press conference with Wenger, was also "besieged" by the media.
Reasonably.
In the first game of the new season, the captain and the head coach should attend the press conference together.
Now that Ye Luo and Wenger are attending the press conference, is Ye Luo the captain of this season?
Facing the reporter's question.
Wenger gave a positive answer.
"Of course, he will be the captain on the field. He is the leader of the Arsenal dressing room now. The players support Ye to wear the captain's armband."
Wenger said.
"When you come to the team and become the captain without even playing an official game, don't you feel the pressure?"
a reporter asked.
"Pressure? Pressure is everywhere, but I will never be afraid of pressure. Pressure is my motivation. I am very happy to wear the Arsenal captain's armband, and I am very grateful to my teammates for their support. As for tomorrow's game, I will I have great respect for Liverpool, but we are here for the three points. This will be our first step towards the Premier League title this season!"
Ye Luo said.
"Wait...the Premier League champion?" A reporter couldn't help interrupting Ye Luo, "Do you think Arsenal can surpass Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, and rank ahead of these three teams?"
"Why not?"
Ye Luo asked back.
in his mission panel.The main task has already been done.
"Belongs to the unprecedented pinnacle of the arsenal."
