There is a dream called football

Chapter 411 Old Captain Adams
Once upon a time, Arsenal's central defenders were rock-solid. The old captain Adams and later Campbell were all England's international-level central defenders.

At that time, I thought that Senderos could be the leader of the team. His excellent physical fitness and excellent positioning made Wenger very optimistic about him, but he did not grow to the height Wenger expected.

Now it's Julu again.

Of course, Wenger did not give up on Julu. Young people cannot easily draw conclusions, but on the other hand, Julu's performance did not meet Wenger's expectations.

At this moment, Wenger thought of the old captain Adams.

Is it possible to ask him to come back and teach by example?
Thinking of this, Wenger was a little excited. Of course, it is impossible to invite him alone, and Wright can also be invited back, so that everyone can get together.

*****
Later, the reason why Chelsea's Wright was called Little Wright was because he had a famous Arsenal Wright before him-Ian Wright.

Wright was a big hit at Arsenal back then, but that was a little too far away. Li Qiao remembered that when he was watching football, both Wright and Adams had faded out of football. He vaguely remembered that during the [-] World Cup, he glanced at Adams on TV.

So when Wright and Adams appeared on the sidelines of the training field, Li Qiao was stunned, while the rest of the players, some were very excited, and some were similar to Li Qiao.

Most of the people who are excited are British. They can be said to have grown up watching Adams. This is equivalent to the feeling that many Chinese grew up watching Li Weifeng play football.

Adams looked at the training, shook his head and said: "Head, Arsenal's defense regressed at 01:30. Such a defense cannot win the Premier League."

Wenger nodded.

Adams played for Arsenal for 20 years. When he left, the fans shouted, we only have one Adams.

But now football is very difficult. The temptation of money and the desire for honor make it difficult for a player to play for a team for a lifetime.

"Tony, I'm sorry to say that times have changed. Iron blood and loyalty in your era are now a luxury."

Adams nodded.

In an era when loyalty to a club seemed to be taken for granted, few seem to do so now.

"Football used to be played by football-loving capitalists. There were no Russians, no local tycoons in the Middle East. At that time, even a great striker like Shearer could be bought at a reasonable price, but now..."

Adams looked at Wright and asked with a smile, "How much do you think Chelsea would pay if Shearer was placed now?"

"Don't talk about it below 5000 million pounds."

"Haha."

Wright asked Wenger, "How much do you think I'm worth now?"

"I guess I must not be able to afford you."

"Haha."

Before Wenger made a request, Adams took the initiative to say: "I want to chat with the guards, maybe it will help."

Wenger patted Adams, "That's what I mean too, let them feel the charm of the old captain."

Wright was out of breath, playing laps with the players with his slightly fat body, but he couldn't take it anymore.

"Ian, your physical fitness is so poor, you must have picked up too many girls recently."

"Hehe, you bastards, when you reach my age, I'm afraid you will be in a nursing home."

However, for athletes, age is the threshold. 30 years old and 40 pairs are both thresholds. After many athletes pass 30, their status plummets, such as Adriano and Maicon.

In addition, Rooney was also very obvious later, after 30, the state has declined sharply, this is an industry that must obey the old.

Henry handed Wright the water.

"Ian, in fact, our offense has improved compared to before, mainly because our defense has regressed quite obviously."

"It's so easy to find a player like Tony now. In a team for 20 years, only Italy's Baresi and Maldini can be compared."

Everyone nodded, really want to play in the same era as Adams, that should be a cool thing.

Just like a lot of people play the game hoping to call out Pele, Maradona, it's really fun.

Think about that feeling.

"However, I am also very envious of this era. We have a stadium as big as the Emirates Stadium. I have never played in a home court as big as the Emirates Stadium. It should feel amazing. Highbury is too small."

"Then there is a chance to have a veterans match and bring back all the former players."

"I wish I wasn't in a wheelchair by then."

"Haha."

On the other side, Adams was chatting with Julu.

Adams paid great attention to his tone, he didn't put on the attitude of the senior to the junior, but more like a friend.

"Tony, can you give me some advice."

Adams smiled and shook his head, "I believe in the vision of the head, if he can promote you to the first team, then your ability must be very strong, but do you know what is the most important thing for a good central defender?"

Zhulu shook his head.

"confidence!"

Julu nodded.

"Of course, self-confidence is not arrogance or bragging, but a kind of self-confidence formed in repeated confrontations."

"Then how does self-confidence come from? It lies in the love of one's own position."

"Ask yourself, do you like playing centre-back?"

Julu was stunned.

"If you don't like it, then you can talk to the head, change a position as soon as possible, and play a position that you can really like."

"I like playing at centre-back."

"Really?"

Adams patted Julu on the shoulder.

"Really, I don't think I've got the finishing touch or the space to pass the ball, but I like being at the back of the team."

Adams laughed.

"I think you haven't found the joy of playing central defender, but you feel that you are not suitable for other positions."

"..."

"And you are too shy. The best defensive players I have seen are all ball bullies. Keane, Vieira, Ferdinand, Stam, and me."

"Ha ha."

"This is very important. It doesn't mean that a defender must be a ball bully, but a defender must make a striker intimidated. Offensive is where the opponent takes the initiative. If you don't have arrogance, it will be very bad."

"so……"

Adams approached Julu's ear, "Get a red card as soon as possible, and feel the rough feeling."

sweat.

Zhu Lumuran, isn't this teaching people indiscriminately?

But the older generation of players is really like this. If Senderos is a little more rogue, he won't be heartbroken.

So sometimes football is like fighting, and it needs a reckless man like Li Yunlong, which needs to be experienced by Zhu Lu himself.
