Strong Waist

On January 3, the Premier League ushered in the 21st round, which was also the first game after the New Year's Eve.

Arsenal challenges Fulham away.

Fulham's performance this season is not good, they are now in the relegation zone, and their overall condition is not that good.

For this reason, even in away games, Arsenal's game dominance is still very high.

In this game, Arsenal still uses rotation.

However, Dembele, who joined on loan in the winter window, failed to appear in the starting lineup.

Of course, the fans also understand this very well. After all, they have just joined and it will take some time to adapt.

Moreover, Dembe has an inspection period and only has a half-season loan contract.

It can be said that Dembele is not the player Mourinho uses as his main combat force.

Of course, if Dembe's performance is really outstanding, that would be another matter.

The camera frequently shows Dembe coming to the bench.

As a newly joined reinforcement, many people are also looking forward to Dembe's performance in Arsenal.

On the bench, Dembe came to watch the game carefully.

He was not in a hurry. This was only the first game, and he had not yet adapted to Arsenal's tactics.

Compared with Barcelona, ​​Arsenal's tactics are too varied, the pace is much faster, and the running is extremely frequent.

This requires Dembe to spend some time adapting. In Arteta's individual training, Dembe can feel that he is gradually changing, which is a very positive sign.

Of course, if possible, he would still like to appear in the game as soon as possible.

As for this game, I can only say that it was crushed.

Dembe knew that Arsenal was very strong. After all, he had watched Arsenal's bloody game against Barcelona on the bench in the first half of the season.

The entire rhythm was firmly controlled by Arsenal, and Barcelona was not given many chances at all.

After joining Arsenal, looking at it as an Arsenal player, this feeling became even more obvious.

Of course, Barcelona also has many good players.

However, this group of Arsenal players are obviously a little too strong.

What kind of magical teammates are these!

The game has been going on for 30 minutes, and Arsenal has made absolutely no mistakes. You must know that it is very difficult to do this. It not only requires a high concentration of the game, but also requires years of cooperative training.

The results of Arsenal's daily training matches are fully displayed here.

The second is the pressure of the midfield.

During his time in Barcelona, ​​Dembele also experienced strong midfield suppression, which even gave him strong offensive power.

But Arsenal's midfield dominance is different.

This is a thick shield, no! It's the city wall!

It doesn't give anyone any chance to attack at all, and the defense is staggeringly stable.

All Arsenal's counterattacks are based on this again.

As for Arsenal's counterattack point, Lucky, Robertson, Wilshere and even Giroud with the center retreating are all qualified for this job.

With this strong lineup, Arsenal also scored two goals in 30 minutes and contributed to an almost crushing game.

"Fulham was completely powerless against Arsenal's counterattack, and it was difficult for their offense to penetrate Arsenal's defense!"

"In 30 minutes, Fulham only had one poor shot, and it didn't hit the goal frame!"

"It can be said that Arsenal's defense has given people a feeling of despair."

This is also true. When a team's offense always fails to succeed and is overwhelmed by the opponent, it will inevitably feel discouraged.

Such was the state of Fulham's players that the first half was not over yet.

They had already begun to despair.

In the second half, Arsenal began to stabilize the situation.

In the 60th minute, Arsenal replaced Lucky to rest.

The situation of the game did not change because of Lucky's end.

Dembe looked at Mourinho expectantly. With such a huge advantage, can he go up and play with it himself?

But Mourinho did not send Dembe onto the field, but gave the last two places to two teenagers Odegaard and Saka.

Obviously, he will not let Dembe come on the court until his physical fitness improves.

Mourinho also has his own insistence.

That's running!

The foundation of everything is based on running. If a player cannot run due to physical problems.

Arsenal's system would collapse in an instant.

For this reason, this is the bottom line and the root of Mourinho's insistence.

The 90-minute game is over.

Arsenal easily defeated Fulham 3-0 away from home, and their unbeaten record continued.

"Oh oh oh oh~~~ We are the invincible Arsenal!"

"No one can beat us!"

"Winning streak! Winning streak! Winning streak! Hahahahahahaha~~~"

The locker room was very lively, and the Arsenal players celebrated wantonly in the opponent's locker room.

Since the beginning of this season, they have felt that extremely smooth feeling.

So far no team has posed a threat to them.

This also makes Arsenal players more confident and their performances become more and more exciting.

Dembe was also infected by this atmosphere.

Compared to the more depressing atmosphere in the Barcelona locker room, this place is obviously more cheerful.

And there are more young people here, and there are many topics among them.

For example, Dembe came to Odegaard and quickly became friends.

The connection between them is a FIFA football game.

"Are you going to your house or mine tonight?"

Odegaard came to Dembe. He has very good gaming skills and can be said to be the best player in the team. He is invincible and lonely.

After torturing his teammates all over, he no longer had any sense of freshness.

But the arrival of Dembe Lai made him immediately happy.

Because Dembe Lai's gaming skills are also very good, the two can play against each other heartily in the game.

Dembe came to think about it and said, "Go to your house!"

"Okay!" Odegaard nodded: "Tonight in the Champions League final, the team I formed will definitely be able to beat you!"

Dembe came with a grin; "Who knows, my team is not bad either!"

While the two were talking, a gloomy voice came from behind.

"No staying up late!"

The two jumped up in fright.

They turned around and saw Lucai leaning on his waist and looking at the two of them, saying: "I don't care if you play games, after all, this is your way of relieving stress, but you are not allowed to stay up late and affect your state."

Odegaard said immediately; "Go to bed on time at 11 o'clock!"

Lucky raised his eyebrows: "11 o'clock?"

Odegaard grinned; "Then 10 o'clock!"

"9 o'clock!" Lucky said forcefully.

Erdegao handed it over with a cry.

"Which young man goes to bed so early!"

Lucky pointed at himself and said, "Me!"

Wilshere stood aside and said, "You're just a young man. You don't drink, go to bars, or pick up girls. You go to bed at 9 o'clock every day. You are healthier than my mother!"

Listening to Wilshere's complaints, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Lucky glared at the other party angrily, then turned around and said, "It's only 9 o'clock, do you hear that?"

The two nodded dejectedly and reluctantly agreed.

At around 5 o'clock, Arsenal players returned to the training base.

Odegaard was impatient and wanted to drag Dembe home to play games.

But Dembe came and said: "I haven't finished my physical training today yet. I have to finish my training first."

Odegaard thought for a while, nodded and said, "Then I'll accompany you!"

After that, the two headed to the training ground.

I saw Arteta already waiting there.

Dembe took a deep breath and immediately started today's physical training.

Physical training itself is simple and crude.

But it's not running all the time, it's a company commander's run.

Based on the characteristics of football, it requires a combination of fast and slow running.

And ensure the explosive power of the legs.

There is no doubt about Dembe's explosive power, but his endurance is still a bit lacking.

There is an extreme fitness value in Arsenal's database.

This is a player running from one goal to another at full speed, and back and forth.

Arsenal's standard is one round trip.

This includes retreating defense and running counterattack.

The record holder is Lucky.

But it is only 2 turns back, and a few people can complete 5 times.

Bellerin can barely complete it once, but after one time, it will basically be useless.

To this end, Arteta needs to strengthen Dembe's ability in this area.

After all, at Arsenal, if you don't run, then everything is meaningless.
