Strong Waist

After their trip to China, Arsenal returned to Europe again to continue their warm-up tour.

The next two warm-up match opponents are Nuremberg in the Bundesliga 2 and Sevilla in La Liga.

Since Arsenal won the Premier League title, their status has also skyrocketed.

They no longer need to take the initiative to find someone to make an appointment for a warm-up match, but a club will come to them.

Previously, Barcelona also wanted to invite Arsenal for a warm-up match.

But Arsenal has given up on all teams that may become opponents in the Champions League, and is looking for clubs without any competitive conflicts.

Nuremberg and Europa League king Sevilla are very suitable.

Arsenal took the lead in going to Germany to contact Nuremberg for a warm-up match.

In this game, those substitutes finally got a chance to play.

Since the first game was a commercial match, Wenger directly played with all the main players. At the same time, he also arranged for players with high reputations like Di Maria to go out and play.

But this time, Arsenal are clearly getting serious.

What they need to do now is rehearse the lineup.

Therefore, the starting lineup is currently Arsenal's most solid lineup.

Goalkeeper: Navas.

Defenders: Sagna, Mustafi, Koscielny, Gibbs.

Midfielder: Ramsey, Cazorla, Lucky.

Forwards: Di Maria, Suarez, Sanchez.

What this lineup emphasizes is solidity!

The partnership between Mustafi and Koscielny performed very well last season and continued Wenger's tactical policy of holding the ball. Therefore, compared to Mertesacker, Wenger is now more inclined to Musa. Taffy.

As for Mertesacker, he is preparing to rotate with Fernand.

Judging from their previous performances, these two people are still very popular.

The two full-backs are the only positions that have not been supplemented. Wenger has not recruited a suitable full-back after a round of selection. Even if there is a suitable full-back, he will be taken away by others.

Faced with this situation, Wenger should have been angry.

But when he thought that he had also snatched Navas and Di Maria back, he was relieved.

In terms of midfield, the partnership between Cazorla and Lucky will never change. This is the core position of Arsenal.

As for Ramsey, he rotates with Kanter.

Although Kanter performed well in the training match, it is unknown how he will perform in the real game. Wenger still needs to investigate.

If it can really make up for Lucky's attacking position, then Kante's starting position at Arsenal will be appropriate.

The forward line is currently Arsenal's sharpest offensive line.

Not to mention Suarez and Di Maria.

Both men are very capable offensively, and Sanchez is also excellent at disrupting the paint.

It can be said that even without Cazorla, these three people still have the ability to fight alone.

The task of Lucky and Cazorla in this game is to provide enough cannonballs!

Nuremberg dropped into the second division last season with second-to-last results in the league.

Some rectifications were immediately carried out, but overall there were not much changes.

At the beginning of the game, Arsenal showed strong oppression.

Start pressing from the first minute of the game and work your way up.

At this moment, Arsenal has gradually perfected Wenger's passing and cutting style and his initiative in high-position pressing.

Basically, Arsenal was pressing and kicking unilaterally. Even if they lost the ball, Arsenal would counterattack on the spot, giving Nuremberg a great sense of oppression.

Cazorla and Lucky directly turned into passing machines. With the support of each shell, Arsenal advanced in three directions, causing Nuremberg to suffer.

While Lucky was constantly passing the ball, he was also paying attention to the movements of the three forwards.

Of course, Lucky focused more on Di Maria.

As Arsenal's top bidder in this summer's transfer, Wenger naturally hopes that Di Maria can smoothly integrate into the team, especially to form a linkage with the midfielder.

Di Maria also ran very actively and communicated seriously.

And after running again and again, Lucky finally understood how to use Di Maria.

Di Maria is not a player like Walcott. He can gain enough advantages with his personal ability on the wing. Rather than passing a good ball to him, it is better to directly give up a certain amount of the ball and let him Play freely.

Thinking of this, Lucky came behind Di Maria and signaled Cazorla to pass back.

Cazorla passed the ball to Lucky, who passed it diagonally to Di Maria and immediately ran towards the space in front.

Di Maria saw this ordinary pass and immediately retreated.

At the same time, the opponent's defensive players are also following closely.

Di Maria pretended to observe, ready to pass the ball at any time.

When he was close to the ball, he suddenly accelerated and sprinted, swinging his right foot on the ball, deceiving the opponent's defensive player to block the inside.

But in the next second, his whole body pulled back and hooked the ball back. His explosive power was fully displayed, and he started to break through at high speed along the wing.

This sudden change made Nuremberg somewhat unable to react.

But at this time, Di Maria was already approaching the penalty area.

"Quick! Go up and guard against him!"

Nuremberg can only use one central defender to limit.

But Di Maria didn't slow down at all. Without any adjustment, he directly rubbed the ball towards the center.

This pass just happened to bypass another Nuremberg central defender and Suarez followed up and scored with a shovel!

Arsenal finally scored after 20 minutes of attacking.

This goal fully brought out Di Maria's abilities.

Whether it's the simple and quick breakthrough ability or the ability to pass.

All these make Di Maria a major killer for Arsenal on the wing!

Even Wenger on the sidelines nodded repeatedly.

"This money is well spent!" Patrice nodded.

Wenger smiled and said; "Di Maria doesn't need too much care. Kai quickly discovered this problem. I think his future opportunities to pass the ball will be more inclined to Sanchez on the left!"

It's good to have a worry-free wing forward who can create opportunities on his own. This also allows Lucky and Cazorla to spend more time elsewhere.

For example, a child without milk

"Here! My place is empty!"

"Look!! Pass it to me!!"

"Me me me!!"

Sanchez screamed happily. This guy was extremely energetic and had a bad habit of talking.

He exaggeratedly used body language to show that he was trustworthy!

After Sanchez's tireless inquiries, Lucky and Cazorla finally noticed him.

Lucky cooperated with Cazorla and completely suppressed the opponent's midfield. He suddenly used his strength to hit the wall and get past the defensive line of the midfielder.

At the same time, Lucky distributed the ball to Sanchez, allowing the guy to face the opponent's defense directly.

Sanchez was already eager to try, but now in the most familiar position, his combat effectiveness is directly maxed out!

This guy's movements are extremely flexible, and the frequency of his feet is astonishingly fast.

Even if Lucky is not close to him, once he is distanced by this guy, under the speed of his feet, he will still only be broken through.

This cannot be stopped by any foresight.

After all, even if the brain keeps up, the body may not be able to keep up with this frequency change!

The Nuremberg defenders are obviously in this pain.

Sanchez knocked the full-back straight down!

Immediately, he moved the ball to the left, opened a gap for shooting, and hit the goal from a small angle.

This shot was extremely tricky and went in close to the goal post.

In the 35th minute, Arsenal scored another goal!

Both wing forwards performed very well!

Wenger also nodded with satisfaction and immediately made substitutions.

The warm-up match is a time to test the newly joined players and substitutes.

Wenger will not let go of this unlimited substitution opportunity. He will give every player the same opportunity.

Wenger made three substitutions at once.

Suarez, Sanchez, Ramsey went off.

Campbell, Walcott and Kanter come on.

Among these three, the main targets of observation are Campbell and Kanter.

Campbell performed well in the World Cup, which is why Wenger transferred the guy back to Arsenal.

He hopes that Campbell can continue this state at Arsenal.

Kanter is expected to have even greater expectations.

Wenger is planning to bind Kanter with Lucky. Once Kanter can really show enough stealing and blocking ability, and after Lucky attacks, he will take on the job of 'building a wall' again, even if it is just a restriction, this will be Wenger’s huge investment in training can be attributed to him!

Kante walked onto the field silently, wearing Arsenal's red and white jersey, with the No. 17 jersey on the back. This was the number he wore in Caen and continued to Arsenal.

Seeing Kanter walking up, Lucai stepped forward and patted Kanter on the shoulder and said, "Leave it to you!"

Kanter knows what Lucky means.

He nodded seriously. This was the first official warm-up match for Arsenal, and Kanter also needed to perform adequately.
