Strong Waist

On August 11th, the 2018/2019 Premier League season begins.

Arsenal's game is scheduled for August 12th, which is also the last game of the match day, and their first opponent is from Manchester City.

The first battle is a peak showdown.

It can be said that the English Premier League still knows how to arrange events. It arranges a highlight at the beginning and then attracts the attention of fans to create hype.

The game between Arsenal and Manchester City has become the only focus at the moment.

The two clubs fought quite hard last season.

With both points exceeding 100, it can be said that they almost dominated the entire division, leaving no chance for others at all.

Liverpool next door was forced to compete in the Champions League.

Fortunately, Liverpool also won the Champions League. Klopp finally received a huge honor after taking office as the Red Army coach, which also made Klopp's momentum in Liverpool become particularly high.

The current Premier League is full of strong teams.

Arsenal, Manchester City, and Liverpool, these three teams are definitely the top teams in Europe.

Even if it is placed in the Champions League, it is a presence that makes opponents feel uncomfortable.

The other Manchester United and Chelsea can always suddenly come in at critical moments, making the already complicated Premier League matches even more chaotic.

Of course, this is also the charm of the Premier League.

There are many examples of strong teams gathering, and weak teams defeating strong teams in an upset.

It can be said that the strength gap between the Premier League teams is not particularly large, which also creates a melee situation in the Premier League.

However, BIG6's dominance is still very obvious.

At least for this season, Arsenal, Manchester City, and Liverpool are definitely three teams that he cannot underestimate.

Manchester City did not invest much in the transfer window this season. Perhaps it was because of their crazy buying spree in the previous seasons and they need to stop for a while. Or perhaps Guardiola has enough confidence in the lineup. They have the same attitude as Arsenal. While ensuring the main players, some minor enhancements were made without investing too much transfer funds.

Of course, it would be false to say that Manchester City does not have enough money. After all, they are backed by a world-class super group and they have sufficient transfer funds.

However, in recent times, news about Manchester City's violation of Financial Fair Play has appeared in the media from time to time. Perhaps Manchester City is afraid of this issue.

After winning the Community Shield, Arsenal's status has been sufficiently guaranteed.

After playing that game, it greatly promoted the players' adjustments and allowed them to enter the game state of the new season faster.

This inner transformation is the most critical.

This season, Arsenal have great ambitions, and they do not hide them. Although they will not talk about these things like some big mouths, they will admit it openly when asked by the media.

Yes!

Arsenal just want championships, more championships.

This is especially true for players such as Giroud, Hummels, Mane, Jimenez and others.

Among them, Giroud and Hummels stated when they joined that they came to Arsenal to form a championship puzzle.

Last season, they won the Premier League title, but it was not enough.

The Champions League is the ultimate goal.

For this reason, everyone worked extra hard to participate in the training.

Physical training is taking place at the training ground.

The physical training of football is different from that of other track and field sports.

Due to the special nature of football, it is necessary to ensure an anaerobic and aerobic mode.

In the horizontal training ground, the players stood neatly on the sideline, in groups of two, and with Arteta clapping, they quickly started running towards the opposite sideline.

You must go all out during the entire run without being lazy at all.

Repeatedly in this way, it has an excellent promotion effect on the growth of physical fitness.

Snapped!

!

Click, click, click, click, click!

!

Arteta looked at the timer in his hand, turned around and shouted; "Xhaka, you are one second slower, don't be lazy!"

Immediately he said to Kanter: "Keep it up!"

Xhaka and Kanter circled back to the starting point from both sides and lined up at the end of the line to wait for their turn.

While waiting, the two of them were chatting.

"This is already the sixth round, do you still want to run?" Zhaka wiped the sweat from his face, then lowered his head and twisted the corners of his clothes to wring out the soaked sweat.

Training under the bright sun is really unbearable.

When the weather is hot and muggy, the loss of physical energy also accelerates.

He felt that Arteta specifically found this time to conduct physical training.

"This year's physical fitness requirements are very high. It is probably to ensure multi-line operations. If you persist for two days, you will immediately enter the recovery period." Kanter said casually.

This season, Mourinho has obviously become more concerned about physical fitness.

Perhaps it is because Arsenal has encountered too many problems when fighting on multiple fronts in the past few seasons.

Among them, physical fitness is an extremely critical attribute.

At this time, it was Saka and Odegaard's turn.

Snapped!

As Arteta clapped his hands, the two suddenly started and rushed to the other side at extremely fast speed.

When rushing to the side of the net, the two actually jumped a little.

Seeing this scene, the Arsenal players grinned.

It’s great to be young!

The entire physical training was conducted in ten groups.

When the ten groups came down, almost no one could stand, and everyone was lying in the shade, breathing heavily.

"I want water, I want a massage to relax, and I feel like my calf muscles are going to cramp."

Wilshere lay on the ground wailing.

Suddenly, there was a cold feeling on my forehead.

Wilshere shuddered and opened his eyes to find an icy bottle of energy drink standing on his forehead.

"Don't drink too much at one time, take small sips."

Before Lucky finished speaking, Wilshere immediately unscrewed the lid and swirled wildly.

Seeing this scene, Lucai shook his head helplessly.

Wilshere naturally knew not to drink too much water at this time, but his throat was really going to smoke.

A bottle of ice-cold drink enters the stomach, and I feel refreshed immediately.

Wilshere lay on the lawn, squinting his eyes, feeling the comfort of the afternoon.

The breeze blew by, sweeping away the sultry feeling, and the sun shone through the treetops, flickering.

There is the sound of birds chirping next to my ears.

Wilshere closed his glasses and said with a contented face, "It's so comfortable!"

Others followed Wilshere's example.

At this point, they were really exhausted.

Several people snored slightly not long after falling to the ground, apparently falling asleep.

But the rest time is only 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, they were rudely awakened from their sweet dreams by Arteta.

"Everyone goes back to wash themselves off, then go change clothes, and meet in the tactics room an hour later."

Arteta clapped his hands and yelled.

Everyone couldn't help but wailed; "Is there still a tactics class?"

They don't want tactics class, they want to go home.

"Time is a bit tight. We will start trying some new tactics tomorrow." After Arteta finished speaking, he clapped his hands and said; "Okay, everyone, get up. You should know that Mr. Mourinho doesn't like to be late. If you If you still want to play under him, it’s better not to make him angry.”

Hearing this, the players dragged their heavy bodies and stood up with sighs.

After entering the locker room to rinse off, they came to the tactical room about 50 minutes later.

Summer afternoons are already a very sleepy time, and physical training comes first. For this purpose, the coaching staff prepared some iced watermelon and fruit, in order to refresh themselves and prevent the players from falling asleep.

Lucky took a bite of cut watermelon. It was very sweet and ice-cold.

After taking a sip, I felt a chill rush straight to my forehead, and any sleepiness disappeared in an instant.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Mourinho came to the tactical room on time.

He didn't talk nonsense, hung the tactical board in his hand aside, turned on the projector and started talking.

The whole process is extremely boring.

But the players listened very carefully.

Whether they are the main players or substitutes, they all have the tension of competition within the team.

They know very well that if they don't want to be replaced, they must listen to the tactics carefully.

Once he fails to hear the specific tactics because he is distracted, he will not be able to connect with the team. According to Mourinho's character, he will just sit on the bench and reflect.

They don't want to encounter this kind of thing.

To this end, everyone concentrated and even took notes.
