Chapter 117 The cruel second half of the season
, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!
Arsenal's current state is extremely hot. Even with the pressure of multiple competitions, their performance is still qualified for the job.
Moreover, they did not suffer too many injuries during the game, at least the main players did not have too much impact.
This is due to Arsenal's rotation tactics in the first half of the season. If there was no rotation, Arsenal would probably have some injury problems at this point in time.
So far, Arsenal needs to deal with four events!
Champions League! The Premier League! FA Cup and EFL Cup!
Currently, Arsenal has reached the semi-finals of the EFL Cup and is only one step away from entering the final.
The FA Cup at the beginning was more for substitutes.
So far, the FA Cup does not require all the main players to deal with it.
For the main players, the Champions League and the league are the games they need to care about.
Dembele performed well in his debut, and for this reason he quickly got the opportunity to start in the FA Cup.
In that game against Blackpool, Dembelay once again provided an assist, assisting Giroud to score.
In addition, the pressure and threat he exerts on the opponent from the wing make Arsenal easier on the offensive end.
Even in this game, Lucky didn't have to go forward to attack. He was paddling in the backcourt throughout the game and was replaced as soon as the time was up.
Dembele played the full 90 minutes. Obviously Mourinho was quite satisfied with Dembele's performance.
Of course, Dembele at Arsenal cannot play like he did at Barcelona.
Mourinho has only two demands for Dembe.
quick! allow!
Yes!
He doesn't need Dembe to cooperate with his teammates on the wing. His purpose on the wing is to open up a breakthrough.
And Dembele just likes this way of playing. After all, he himself is not that good at understanding passing coordination and tactics.
It’s not that he’s stupid, but it’s difficult for him to make quick judgments during fast movements, which is considered Dembe’s shortcoming.
For this reason, Mourinho's appointment method makes him feel a lot more relaxed. He does not have to consider the movement of his teammates and the overall offensive situation like he did in Barcelona.
At Arsenal, he only needs to turn around and attack immediately after receiving the ball.
Even if the offensive line is blocked, he can smoothly knock back and reorganize.
This simple tactical template has greatly developed Dembele's ability. Not only Dembele, but also Arsenal played a lot easier.
After his loan, Dembele's outstanding performance in two games also caused some heated discussions in Barcelona.
Many Barcelona fans said that Valverde should not have loaned Dembe out, let alone loaned him to Arsenal.
He is a talented player from Barcelona.
However, they are also talking about it. If Dembe comes back, there will only be two starting winger positions between Coutinho, Messi and Dembe.
When it is impossible to replace Messi, Coutinho and Dembe can only compete for a position.
This is back to the previous situation, with two wolf-like young men, neither of whom wants to be a substitute.
This is why the final conflict arises.
In this case, it is better to rent it out and continue training.
At least in Valverde's mind, he made the right decision.
At present, Dembele is quite satisfied with life in London.
Apart from the cold weather, there were no problems.
Dembe's life has become impossibly simple, basically just two points and one line between home and the training ground.
20 is a fun age, and of course he wants to play too.
But given the overall atmosphere at Arsenal, he basically avoided the bar.
Once discovered by the coaching staff, it may be severely punished.
Their leisure time is mostly playing games and the like, and other than that, they just train.
Competition within the Arsenal squad is fierce.
This made Dembeila a little bit overwhelmed.
When he was a substitute, he also saw how hard many substitutes worked to compete for the starting position.
Just like the two good friends he just met, Odegaard and Saka, these two are typical involution engines.
With the support of their young capital, they have worked extra hard. For this reason, this pressure will also be brought to the starting lineup, and the entire training is filled with a smell of competitive gunpowder.
It can be said that in the Arsenal team, except for Lucky's position which is unshakable, the rest are in danger of being replaced.
Once the performance is poor, then you have to be benched.
This is a non-negotiable matter.
Mourinho's character is like this. He will not always be the starter just because some players are used to being the starter.
As long as the performance is poor, no matter whether the main player or the substitute, he will have to sit on the bench.
The timing of Dembe's arrival on loan at Arsenal is clever.
Just after Christmas, the competition is most intense.
The league’s point-grabbing battle!
The Champions League enters the knockout stages!
The FA Cup begins.
EFL Cup semi-finals and more
All these show that Arsenal will have to bear the pressure of double matches in a week throughout the entire second half of the schedule.
Just like this week, they just finished playing Chelsea in the league, and then moved to the FA Cup. After the FA Cup, they immediately took on the semi-finals of the EFL Cup.
And the opponent is Tottenham, the city's rival.
It can be said that this game is equally difficult.
The only pity is that Dembele failed to start here, and Mourinho cannot leave Aubameyang on the bench for too long.
Especially on a stage like the EFL Cup semi-finals.
The format of the EFL Cup determines that, except for the semi-finals, all other games will be decided in one game.
But in the semi-finals, a two-leg system of home and away games was started.
To this end, Arsenal must first face Tottenham at the Emirates Stadium, and then immediately move to White Hart Lane.
However, in the first home game, Arsenal has more control.
Tottenham also attaches great importance to this game.
After all, they lost to Arsenal in the league and they want revenge.
Tottenham head coach Pochettino even said something.
‘In order to win this game, we even considered giving up the Champions League! ’
At present, Tottenham have reached the knockout rounds of the Champions League. Although the Champions League has just begun, many people are optimistic about their future due to their outstanding performance in the group stage.
If they keep up this performance, they may reach the Champions League semi-finals and even the final for the first time in history.
But compared to such distant things, Tottenham must focus more on blindness.
That was revenge against Arsenal.
They were frustrated at home and wanted to get back on the field.
This time, he said harsh words.
However, there was not much heated discussion from the outside world. Instead, everyone just watched the excitement.
Despite Tottenham's harsh words, they do not feel that Tottenham are really capable of killing Arsenal.
Especially at Arsenal's home court, it's even more difficult.
Although the English League Cup semi-finals are two-legged, home and away.
But facing an Arsenal that has had no defeat so far, is it true to say this?
They don't know what Pochettino thinks. It may be a smokescreen, or it may be serious.
But they are not optimistic about it.
Facing this atmosphere, time came to the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-finals.
January 29th, EFL Cup semi-final, Arsenal VS Tottenham Hotspur.
The confrontation between the fans of both sides was very fierce. They seemed to be shouting at each other. The entire stadium was filled with cheers and screams from fans of both teams.
This makes London's night scene more lively.
Facing this atmosphere, the buses of the two teams also arrived at the stadium one after another.
At the west entrance, the Tottenham Hotspur bus drove in, and Tottenham players got off the bus under the leadership of head coach Pochettino.
You can clearly feel the solemn performance of Tottenham players in the camera.
After all, they had just been beaten by Arsenal, so they felt a little embarrassed to face Arsenal again in such a short period of time.
But no matter what happens, they still need to deal with it bravely. After all, the head coach has shouted out, if they don't respond, how can they survive in the team.
Therefore, even if Arsenal is strong and their chances of winning are slim, they still give it a try.
Moreover, it feels wonderful to cut off Arsenal's winning streak, doesn't it?
If this day really comes, they hope that it is Tottenham who can do this, not other teams.
