Super Marshal

Although the two quarreled a few words in front of the reporters, Wenger still accepted Gao Han's invitation before leaving and drank a bottle of wine in the Stamford Bridge conference room. Tian Lai novel www. 『⒉

　　 But in the end, Wenger still uttered harsh words for the upcoming League Cup final.

　　 For Arsenal, the League Cup is like a fig leaf, and they must fight to the end anyway.

　　 However, it is not easy for Arsenal to win the League Cup final, because after playing Chelsea in the league, they have to go to Spain to challenge Real Sociedad away, which is the Champions League round of 16 knockout game.

This season’s UEFA Champions League is different from the past. The schedule has changed. The previous second stage group stage was cancelled. After the first stage group stage is played, it will directly enter the round of 16 knockout. This can reduce four games and reduce The pressure and burden of the players and the team.

　　 Compared to the back and forth with Arsenal, Chelsea's schedule is more favorable.

The Blues will also usher in a new year's UEFA Cup in midweek. The opponent is Bulgaria's Sophialevsky, but the round is at home and the opponent is weak. Alpine has basically decided to send a substitute. Play.

　　In other words, Chelsea will recharge and wait for Arsenal.

　　While one is going down and the other is going up, Wenger also seems a little less confident in this final.

　　 In fact, Arsenal's back and forth did affect the team's state, coupled with the away game, playing Real Sociedad is really not ideal.

　　 Shortly after the opening, Edu scored first, but soon, Real Sociedad equalized the score.

　　 But after the second half, Edu scored another goal, but Real Sociedad tied the score a few minutes later.

　　 You come and I go to each other, the fight is very intense, Arsenal is entangled by the Royal Society and it is difficult to get out.

　　 It was not until the 80th minute of the match that the Gunners scored a goal by Pires, and finally defeated Real Sociedad 3-2.

　　 It is not difficult to see from the course of the game how tragic the whole game went.

　　 On the contrary, Chelsea, although the game was not easy, but in the end defeated the opponent 2-0, Lampard and Good Johnson each scored a goal, and both scored in the second half.

　　 But Chelsea’s main force has been adjusting step by step, waiting for work and waiting for Arsenal.

　　…………

　　 "There are really not many challenges in the English League this season!"

　　 In the living room of the mansion on Kensington Garden Avenue, Gao Han sighed softly.

　　 Lin Xia, who had just flown from Madrid to London, was picked up by Gao Han from the airport, sitting next to him, holding his right hand affectionately with both hands, and after hearing his emotion, she giggled, "Why?"

At this moment, what Gao Han is holding is the material that Sergio Garcia compiled after watching Real Sociedad and Arsenal's Champions League game in Spain the day before yesterday. It records the details of the game in great detail. .

Gao Han shook the material in his hand, "Look at Arsenal, the thickness of the bench is not strong, but Wenger is using a whole lineup to his death. From January to now, he has hardly adjusted the team's lineup. Can the team survive?"

　　 "But they seem to have only lost two league games this season."

　　 Gao Han smiled, "Yes, I lost to me."

　　 Lin Xia suddenly realized that this guy is proud in front of him.

　　 So, she immediately reached out her hand secretly and pinched him on his waist, but the pesky guy screamed like a pig.

　　 Fortunately, there are only the two of them in this family. Gao Han didn't even invite any servants. Otherwise, I'm afraid it would really be a misunderstanding.

　　 After the two men quarreled for a while, Gao Han also recovered his dignity and put away the materials.

"The competition in the English League is not very fierce. It has always been a duo between Manchester United and Arsenal. Manchester United has left Beckham this season. In addition, it has not been able to fill the vacancy of the central defender after Stam has left the team. So the strength A big loss, on the contrary, Arsenal, the main lineup is in place and the strength is stronger."

　　 "But as I said earlier, the gunner’s problem is that the bench is not thick enough. Therefore, knowing that Henry and Campbell are injured, he can only continue to use them, because Wenger has no one to change."

　　 Although Sol Campbell is not young, his role at Arsenal is indeed irreplaceable.

　　 In order to get him, the Gunners even had a storm with North London's arch-rival Tottenham Hotspur, but the fact proved that the price Arsenal paid was worth it, and Campbell soon became the gunner's defensive core.

　　While the veterans are getting old and the teenagers can’t stand up in a short time, Wenger is still very stingy and refuses to introduce a strong central defender into the transfer market.

　　 Of course, this has a lot to do with the lack of strength of the central defender in today's football.

　　 Almost any seldom-known central defender can make a high price. With Wenger's stingy, how could he be willing to pay for it?

　　 So, all he trusts are Kolo Touré or young players like Senderos.

　　 is true not only in the back line, but also in other positions.

　　 Wil Todd is injured, Kanu's performance is not good, Henry and Bergkamp have become the mainstay of Arsenal's striker.

　　 Oh, yes, during the winter break, Wenger squandered and brought in Reyes from Seville, which performed well.

　　 This player almost got Atletico Madrid in the first place, but unfortunately, he is now an opponent.

　　 From the perspective of overall strength, Arsenal did not have a significant improvement in strength over the previous few seasons, but because of the decline in Manchester United's strength, it allowed the Gunners to stand out and become Chelsea's number one competitor.

　　 As for Liverpool, Newcastle and other teams, they are purely familiar. From beginning to end, it is difficult for them to make an impact on the league championship because their strength has not reached that level.

　　Like Liverpool, Husky has a poor scoring ability on the front line. Although the tactical effect is obvious, it is impossible to rely on only one Owen.

　　 There is also a midfield. The biggest problem for the Red Army is the midfield.

As the so-called midfielder wins the world, Liverpool wants to rise, not only to increase the signings, but also to reorganize the team's skills and tactics. From this point of view, as long as Hollier is still there, the Red Army will hardly have any hope. .

　　 As for Newcastle and his like, that's not to mention it.

　　 Thinking of this, Gao Han couldn't help but feel proud of his heart, and his whole body became energetic.

　　 "Look at it, not only the league championship this season, but also the next season will be decided, and I will also have an impact on the Champions League. I will not give Manchester United and Arsenal any chance!"

　　 Compared to the problematic opponents, Chelsea's situation is the best.

　　 Especially with the deepening of the league, the formation of team skills and tactics, the players are becoming more and more tacit, the overall competitiveness is getting stronger and stronger, and the confidence of the cold is also rising with the tide.

　　 He even has a hunch that Chelsea might be able to make a difference in the Champions League next season.

　　 Lin Xia has been watching Gao Han by the side, feeling his strong self-confidence, and she couldn't help but be moved.

　　 In fact, confident men are also very charming.

　　 The two were next to each other, Lin Xia clasped her hands tightly, Gao Han immediately noticed it, and he laughed.

　　 Lin Xia didn't know what he was thinking, she blushed, gave him a shy look, and ran away like flying away.

　　 Gao Han smiled like a big bad wolf from behind, and chased after Little Red Riding Hood.

　　 "Help!"

　　 "Little girl, don't run away, here is the two of us, no one can save you!"

　　…………

　　 Kearney Training Base, northwest London.

　　 The League Cup final is approaching, Wenger finally got a piece of good news.

　　Left back Ashley Cole is back!

　　 "From the perspective of training effects, playing in the League Cup finals should be no problem." Pat Rice said.

　　 Among the many coaches in the UK, Wenger also pays more attention to data analysis, so after each training session, he will ask the coaching staff to provide a player analysis report, especially for injured players.

　　 "What did the team doctor say?" Wenger was overjoyed.

　　 "They also think that Ashley Cole can play."

　　 "Great!" Wenger was finally relieved.

　　 In these games where Ashley Cole is absent, the left back has always been a teenager Clichy, but this French compatriot's performance has been up and down, which is really not reassuring.

　　 Of course, this has a lot to do with his young age.

　　 Now that Ashley Cole is back, Arsenal's left can finally stabilize.

　　 As the season progresses, the Gunners' guard combination is gradually determined. Although Sol Campbell and Colo Toure have problems, the combination of the two is the best central defender configuration for Arsenal at the moment.

　　 It’s just that Wenger is a little worried, can they defend Ibrahimovic?

　　 Pat Rice also feels the same about the coach's worries.

Ibrahimović is indeed a very weird central defender. He is tall and strong, a typical Nordic center, but the strange thing is that he has the skills at the feet that are not lost to any professional player. This is very difficult to do. Up.

　　 is like Campbell, fighting with him, not much advantage, don't even think about grabbing the ball.

　　 Kolo Toure is even more miserable. Being leaned on by his body, let alone stealing the ball, it is hard to say whether he can even carry it.

　　 For such a center, not to mention Arsenal, even the whole England, who doesn't have a headache?

　　 "Alpine this guy has a very poisonous vision." Wenger had to sigh. "Before the season he said that Ibrahimovic would be a nightmare for all central defenders in the UK, and the result was not bad at all."

　　 Throughout this season, until now, no one can completely imprison Ibrahimovic.

　　 But this is not the scariest place in Chelsea.

　　 With Ibrahimović suppressing the central defender, Ronaldinho has a very good ability to hold and dribble on the left, and the last pass is also very sharp, which makes it difficult for opponents to defend.

But Eto'o on the right is fast, and then he plugs in the offensive ability group. After the sudden start, almost no defender can keep up with him, which makes Chelsea's trident show amazing power in the game. .

　　 This is no longer a question of knowing how to defend~www.NovelMTL.com~ but even if you know how to defend, it may not be able to defend it!

　　 Not to mention that even if the trident is defensive, Deco and Veron's back attack.

　　 It can be said that the entire offensive system of Chelsea was built by Alpine in a tightly linked ring, layered on top of each other, making it impossible to defend against.

　　 "This is only his first season coaching England!" Wenger said worriedly.

　　 He is not only worried about the upcoming League Cup, but also about the future.

　　 I really want to continue to be pressed by him, let alone Arsenal, even Manchester United, don't count on it.

　　 But sometimes, some things still have to be decisive.

　　 "Pat, this afternoon I will focus on rehearsing the triple midfielder play."

　　 Wenger's eyes flashed a little helplessly, "League Cup finals, we are defending!"
