Strong Waist

"Hey! I can still score goals!"

Saka is having a great time. His performance in this game is very good. After getting used to high-intensity confrontational games such as the Premier League and Champions League, it is still very good to return to the English League Cup and occasionally abuse food.

Of course, the most important thing is to start the game and be able to play longer.

The other substitutes feel the same way. So far in the game, they are still relatively relaxed overall. Blackpool cannot bring too much pressure to them, and their own abilities can be fully demonstrated.

It can be said that this game itself is the product of a huge gap in strength.

After three goals in the first half, Arsenal's overall offensive and defensive rhythm continued.

This also puts great pressure on Blackpool.

In particular, the two young players Odegaard and Saka have become the main firepower in the frontcourt.

Two young players who have been trained in the Premier League and the Champions League are almost like a big killer when they go to the English League, especially against lower-level teams.

Different from the stable playing style of Lucai and others, these two people put great pressure on offense.

Of course, Arsenal's defense is too stable, creating a sufficient offensive environment for the two of them.

Lucky almost stayed in half court throughout the game. The most forward position was near the center circle and did not participate in any offense.

He was also observing Odegaard's performance during the game.

Although Mourinho asked Lucky to play with Odegaard and teach him some skills in the game.

But Lucai didn't know how to teach, and he had no experience in this area.

For this reason, he chose to go one-on-one with Odegaard.

Growing up under pressure, whenever Odegaard can gain the ability to escape or even break through in the hands of Lucky, he can use this to gain a foothold in football.

However, for now, the gap is still huge.

For Odegaard himself, his recent life has been extremely fulfilling.

At Arsenal, he can get exercise every day and feel his self-improvement at the same time.

Although the one-on-one with Lucky was extremely painful, especially psychologically, Odegaard has never been a person easily defeated by setbacks, so this kind of training actually improved his fighting spirit.

After these few days of training, the results are still very good.

Especially in terms of physical confrontation, of course this game did not reflect that.

Blackpool was almost defeated by Arsenal.

In the second half, in the 67th minute, Giroud once again assisted Saka to score the second goal.

When the score was also expanded to 4:0, the suspense of the game basically disappeared.

The few Blackpool fans present also showed a hint of helplessness.

They didn't want to win, they just wanted to have a wonderful performance and even score a goal in the game against Arsenal.

But judging from the current situation, this is almost impossible.

As for Blackpool's 'genius' Thompson, his face was pale at this time.

Not only is it physically exhausting, but it's also a mental blow.

Looking at Odegaard and Saka shining brightly in front of him, and looking at their wonderful performances, all of this was a huge blow to Thompson.

There are many talents in the world, and Thompson once thought he had enough talent.

But when he saw the geniuses of these wealthy families, he couldn't stand the huge gap.

In the 75th minute, Lucky and Giroud came off the field.

With the end of the two men, the field was almost filled with substitutes.

Except for Kanter who maintains defense on the court, the rest are substitutes.

Even so, Blackpool could not mount an effective counterattack.

The so-called traditional English attack they insisted on could not even pass the ball under Arsenal's high press and pressure.

Every time they crossed half court, they lost control of the ball.

"This way the game will be over."

In injury time, the commentator sighed; "The game finally ended with a score of 4:0. Unsurprisingly, Arsenal won the game."

"We thought that Blackpool would surprise us, but Arsenal are too strong. Even with the substitutes, they still have the ability to crush us."

"Let us congratulate Arsenal for advancing to the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup!"

At the end of the game, the expressions of the players on both sides were completely different.

The Arsenal players ended happily, while the Blackpool players were hanging their heads.

As Thompson walked through the tunnel, Saka happened to be interviewed.

"Is there any player on the other side who impressed you the most?"

Thompson couldn't help but turn his head and look over.

Although they lost, Thompson made several passes in this game, which should leave some impression.

Thompson desperately wanted to hear his name from Saka's mouth.

"No!" Saka's answer was simple.

"For us, this game is about training our lineup and tactics. For this reason, I did not pay too much attention to the opponent's players. We clearly know that as long as we play at our own pace, we can win. Contest!"

Hearing this, Thompson walked into the tunnel with his head silently.

So, this stage is set for others!

And this is also a true portrayal of most low-level players. There are not so many 'Vardys'. This is just an example.

Easily winning this EFL Cup game, Arsenal's unbeaten journey continues.

Arsenal won the game, but due to the size of the game, the media did not pay much attention.

Let’s talk more about Saka and Odegaard, who performed well in this game.

But in the evening, London Sports published a report.

"The contracts of many Arsenal players have expired, and the club has no intention of renewing them?" 》

"It is understood that after the end of Arsenal's season, the contracts of some players are about to expire. However, at the halfway point of the season, Arsenal still has no intention of renewing their contracts. Does this mean that Arsenal will no longer renew their contracts?"

"And among them are veterans such as Wilshere, Koscielny and Holding."

The emergence of this news has made Arsenal the focus of current discussion.

After all, despite his excellent performance, it is really disgusting that this kind of contract issue was brought out by the media.

However, Arsenal did not respond in any way.

Even many fans and players are avoiding talking about this issue.

But after all, it was found out by the media, and the players also knew it.

For this reason, many players showed their absent-mindedness during training the next day.

But what is surprising is that Wilshere's training performance is as serious and hardworking as ever.

In the training program where the two trained together, Lucky and Wilshere were paired together, and the two kept kicking the ball back and forth.

During the process, Lucky would look up at Wilshere from time to time, as if he was hesitant to speak.

After a long time, Wilshere sighed; "What are you doing? You are training now."

Le Kai laughed sarcastically and waved his hand.

Wilshere raised his head and said; "I know what you want to ask, yes! The club has not extended my contract invitation."

Hearing this, Le Kai's heart sank.

Although I had thought about it, I didn't expect it to be like this.

Generally speaking, clubs will not grant long-term contracts to players who are older or whose condition has declined.

It could be one year or two years.

In most cases it is one year.

Before Lucky's contract expired, Arsenal couldn't wait to sign a lifetime contract with Lucky.

This also shows that even if a huge change occurs in Arsenal and Lucky has no ball to play in the team, Arsenal still has to pay Lucky a sky-high salary based on the contract.

But unlike Lucky, Wilshere still has not received a contract extension invitation.

This is most likely a statement.

It's just that both sides don't want to break up over this.

After all, Wilshere also came from Arsenal's youth training. Even if he leaves, I hope he leaves in a dignified manner.

"Actually, I've had this feeling since last season." Wilshere shrugged; "I'm getting more and more tired of playing at Arsenal, especially because it's so difficult to keep up with your pace. The work has also changed from multi-faceted to one-sided, and now I am not very helpful to the team.”

"So, I understand the choice of the coaching staff and the club. After all, even I would not want to renew a contract with a player with such a single ability."
