There is a dream called football

Chapter 288 FIFA Virus
Wenger looked at the players on the training ground with a very gloomy mood. As a strong team, Arsenal had drawn many players in the past FIFA match days.

But the FIFA virus is very powerful. No, it was fine when I went there, but when I came back, I was more or less injured.

The team doctor gave Wenger a report, among them, Henry and Bergkamp have muscle problems, and they will definitely not be able to play in the next league.

Li Qiao, Toure and others had long-distance flights, and they were very tired. It is also recommended to rest. There is also the old patient Reyes. It can be said that Wenger can use almost half of the players.

In the game against Bolton, Arsenal lost 0 to 1. When asked by reporters after the game, Wenger couldn't hold back.

"The reason for the loss? You can ask Blatter."

……

……

Wenger dropped the words and left, leaving behind shocked reporters.

But this time, several big names in the Premier League are surprisingly unanimous, and they all stand on Wenger's side, including Mourinho and Ferguson.

Mourinho is even more intense.

"We spend hundreds of millions of players every year, but FIFA can choose them at will. Is this fair?"

The reporter said: "But there are subsidies."

"Haha, subsidy."

Mourinho laughed wantonly, "That subsidy is not enough to hire a janitor, what's the use?"

……

……

Ferguson was more tactful.

"The interests of the national team and the interests of the club must strike a balance. I think that if the interests of the club are harmed, then the interests of FIFA cannot be guaranteed."

This question is indeed old and well established.

In order to fight against FIFA, these giants even established G14, but on the other hand, it is impossible not to hold FIFA games, so reasonable subsidies may be the most important.

Blatter said that the compensation to the club will be increased in the future, and the club will be compensated according to the number of appearances of the national team.

But complaints are complaints, Wenger still has to consider the next game, and soon there will be a game against Manchester United, which is a very important matchup in the Premier League.

On the training ground, Wenger is experimenting with a new tactic, that is, Li Qiao and Van Persie play forward together.

If Henry and Bergkamp can't play, then the game against Manchester United must change.

But after trying it, there are many problems.

First of all, neither of them was born as a genuine forward, and their skills in holding the ball on the front line are not good.

The striker's technique of holding the ball is to stick the ball to his feet. For example, Bergkamp stops the ball, because the striker is always in the penalty area when he takes the ball.

But the winger is not. The winger can stop the ball and pass the ball out, and then use his speed to overtake.

"Stop, you can't stop the ball like this. There is a lot of space on the wing, but the space in the penalty area is very small. You have to stop the ball under your feet instead of going out."

Li Qiao and Van Persie nodded.

However, the basic skills and learning ability of the two are top-notch, and they will improve soon. Of course, there is still a big gap with the main force.

"Otherwise, you two learn from Henry and Bergkamp."

*****
In the gym, the patients are all training here, mainly strength training, to maintain their own weight, and for the injured place, the best medicine is time, it needs to be cultivated slowly, and then it may recover.

At this time Li Qiao and Van Persie came.

"Hehe, why do you think of the two of us?"

"Is such that……"

Li Qiao and Van Persie talked about the matter, Henry and Bergkamp laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Robin van Persie asked.

Bergkamp said with a smile: "Actually, it's not about skills, it's just training. By the way, I suggest that you can use tennis for training."

"tennis?"

"Yes, two people go to a small court to play football, and the ball used is a tennis ball, which is very helpful for the improvement of skills."

Although Li Qiao and Van Persie felt a little strange, they nodded, "Okay, let's try."

The Arsenal club has that kind of five-a-side court. Li Qiao and Van Persie went to the small court to train after training.

When training with tennis balls, it feels like you can't even hit the ball at the beginning.

"This one can't be kicked at all."

The basic training that professional players receive is to pay attention to the lower part, the middle part, or the upper part of the ball when shooting.

As we all know, if you kick the lower part of the ball, the ball will definitely be kicked away. For example, the goalkeeper kicks his big foot, and the upper part of the kicked ball can press the ground ball.

But the tennis ball is so small, it is impossible to kick the lower part of the ball, basically they all kick in the same place, which is very troublesome for these professional players.

"I think just put aside the skills of football and play like a child."

Van Persie nodded.

Li Qiao passed the ball to Van Persie, who kicked it up, but it was completely missed.

sweat! !

"You're better off stopping the ball and then shooting."

"it is good."

Li Qiao passed the ball again. Normally, Van Persie could stop the ball firmly with his arch, but tennis is hard and he couldn't control it at all.

This is a great test of stopping skills.

No wonder Bergkamp's pass is so strong. It turned out to be practiced in this way. Li Qiao felt that this practice should be persisted.

"Robin, I think we have to practice this three times a week, and gradually our ball-stopping skills will be as strong as Henry's."

*****
At this time, Manchester United is very strong, Keane has left, the midfield has been replaced, and the Koreans Park Ji-sung and Fletcher have supported the team.

The most powerful thing is that the goalkeeper has been replaced by Van der Sar. Li Qiao knew that the Dutchman would be a legend at Manchester United in the future, so that when he left, Ferguson regretted not buying Van der Sar earlier. This is his biggest regret in coaching Manchester United.

But for Manchester United, the biggest bad news is that Ronaldo was injured in the national team game, and this game is definitely not going to be played.

This may also be why Ferguson supported Wenger on the FIFA virus.

In short, this is not the best state of both sides, and both have absolute main players who cannot fight.

When Ferguson brought Manchester United to London, they wanted to leave with three points, because the opponents competing for the league title this season are Chelsea and Arsenal.

But every time I come to Highbury, the game is not easy to play. This is a place Ferguson really doesn't want to come to, and the other is the Double Red Club.

Before the game, Ferguson was asked about Ronaldo. The old man said that Ronaldo can go to Christmas, and in the new year, he hopes that a brand new Ronaldo will appear in front of everyone.

"For us, the Champions League in the new year is a more important game. At that time, we cannot do without Ronaldo."

In terms of the Champions League, Manchester United and Arsenal are almost the same, and they have already locked in a place to appear.
