Strong Waist

Chapter 16 New Environment

After the tactical meeting, the players dragged their exhausted bodies home and planned to have a good sleep.

Lucky did not continue to practice more, but took a bath at home for a while, and then fell asleep after a while under the massage of the therapist.

By the time Lucky got up, it was already the second day.

The preparation process for the entire season proceeds in an orderly manner, and after a few days of high-intensity physical training, the recovery period begins.

The training intensity during this period is very low and mainly focused on recovery.

After all, the game is about to start, and they can't drag their tired bodies through the game.

Before we knew it, the competition came to August 11th.

The Premier League begins with the first match between Manchester United and Leicester City.

Manchester United is still huge this season.

Spending more than 50 million pounds to introduce Brazilian midfielder Fred, Dalot (19 million pounds), etc.

Solskjaer is still strengthening Manchester United's lineup.

But the fans still don't quite buy it. If Solskjaer hadn't come from Manchester United, he would have been kicked out long ago.

Today's Manchester United fans still cannot accept the fact that they have declined.

On the other side, the situation in Leicester City is not particularly good.

A few seasons after winning the Premier League, the club was almost hollowed out.

Many good players in the team left one after another, causing the overall record and performance to decline.

Now only Vardy is struggling to support the former champion member.

The opening games brought by these two teams were also somewhat boring.

Throughout the 90 minutes of the game, both sides made many mistakes.

But the key is facing the opponent's mistakes, and both sides failed to seize the opportunity and convert it into goals.

This game, which was like a novice pecking each other, finally ended with a score of 2:1.

Manchester United won the opening game with two goals from Pogba and full-back Luke Shaw.

For Leicester City, Vardy, who came on as a substitute in the 65th minute, scored in stoppage time.

But the interesting thing is that although Manchester United won the game.

But Manchester United fans still don't buy it.

They felt that the team played too loosely. There were many mistakes throughout the game and many opportunities, but they failed to seize them.

Fortunately, it was against Leicester City, but if it had been any other team such as Manchester City, Liverpool or Arsenal, they would have been defeated by this state.

Solskjaer also said after the game that they still need some time to adjust and run in.

The new players will become a new strength in Manchester United's midfield.

These words also caused Fred's pressure to rise suddenly.

For putting so much pressure on a newly-joined player, the media turned the blame and began to attack Solskjaer, saying that he was diverting the conflict to make Fred the focus of attention, and then let the other party take the blame.

Of course, these remarks from the media cannot directly hurt the club, but they still plant a thorn in their hearts.

There are a total of six games on August 11th.

Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are all scheduled for this day.

These three teams all got off to a good start as they wished, but the overall intensity of the competition did not bring much traffic and topic on the first day of the competition.

In this regard, the Premier League broadcast department also feels a little helpless.

But luckily the highlight is about to begin the next day.

On August 12, following the World Cup, the league begins, and fans can once again get involved in the game.

For this reason, they also seemed extremely excited.

Especially the first game is often a huge hit.

The tickets for the Emirates Stadium were sold out the moment they were released.

Many fans who had not bought tickets were beating their chests and feet in frustration.

But they can still watch the game in the bars around the stadium. Although they are not watching directly on site, the atmosphere is still good.

In the morning, the entire Manchester City team arrived in London.

Guardiola led Manchester City to London and became the focus of the day.

When Arsenal plays Manchester City, the focus of the day is almost entirely on the two teams.

Guardiola still looks the same, with a bald head and a beard. He declined requests for interviews from the media. The whole process gave people a feeling of spring breeze.

The entire Manchester City team is also traveling.

Aguero, Sterling, Mahrez, De Bruyne, Kyle Walker and more

Guardiola showed with actions that they came to the Emirates Stadium to take away three points.

On the other side, Arsenal is also preparing intensively.

Since it is a home game, the pressure is relatively low.

But as the first game of the season and a home game, they want to give the fans a good start. They want to win the game, which requires them to maintain enough fighting spirit.

At around 1 p.m., the player bus stopped at the door of the locker room.

Mourinho announced the squad for the game.

In addition to the main players, Xhaka, Odegaard, Saka, Lukaku, etc. are included in this roster.

Especially Odegaard and Saka, they were selected into the squad again after the Community Shield.

It can be said that they have entered Mourinho's attention and will have the opportunity to compete at any time.

This is a very surprising thing for any young player and substitute.

After the players finished packing, they took the player bus to the Emirates Stadium.

More than two months have passed since the last home game.

Although World Cup events were also held during this period, they still had different feelings after coming to the familiar home court.

Arsenal flags were planted around the Emirates Stadium, and a large number of Arsenal fans were welcomed to watch the first game of the season.

The fans held up Arsenal's new season shirts.

This season, Arsenal's shirt sponsor changed from Puma to Nike.

In the new Arsenal jersey, the designer played with retro.

The entire jersey is closer to an old-fashioned jersey, with more red parts, and the overall look is more passionate.

The jersey material is also made of breathable and quick-drying porous fabric. Although it is a slim fit, it does not feel oppressive at all when worn.

Anyway, Lucky is very satisfied with this shirt.

At least it's much better than last season, when the jersey was always easily pinched.

Arriving at the Emirates Stadium, a familiar voice came.

The Arsenal fans at the scene were cheering and cheering.

The big screen at the entrance also plays the Arsenal goal moments from the Community Shield.

This also further enhanced the atmosphere at the scene.

When the Arsenal players entered the stadium, the fans dispersed.

If you need to go in, go to the bar. If you need to go to the bar, go to the bar to watch the game.

At this time, the Arsenal players had arrived in the locker room.

"Wow! Is this a renovation?"

Everyone walked in and looked at the brand new Arsenal dressing room, and couldn't help but be surprised.

The previous Arsenal dressing room was a bit old.

Whether it is lockers or some equipment, there are many problems.

For example, the board on Lucky's locker fell off more than once. Lucky borrowed a hammer and nailed it back on himself a few times.

Maybe the club also feels the need for renovation, or maybe it wants a new look.

The renovated dressing room is more fitting for Arsenal.

The locker is made of walnut-colored wooden boards. The wooden boards are spotless. Although they still have some smell, they are bearable.

The jersey hangs quietly on it, giving it a neat and uniform feel.

There is a small card slot above each locker. The players' names are printed in black English in the card slot, indicating that this is a locker dedicated to a certain player.

The bench has also been replaced with a white sofa chair from the rough wooden bench. It is not hard or soft when sitting on it, but it is a little sticky after sweating.

The overall color of the locker room is mainly red and white.

This complements the jersey.

The wall in the center, above Lucky's locker, has photo frames of many legendary Arsenal players.

On the wall on the left, Lucky's photo frame also appeared there.

Seeing this scene, Lucai felt helpless.

He's not even on active duty yet, and he's already on the wall.

But the overall feeling is still very good.

Perhaps it's because of the brand new locker room, but the players are relatively careful to maintain it. They don't step on the bench with their shoes on or spit everywhere like they did before.
