Strong Waist

Chapter 63 Return to the starting lineup

There are many strong teams in the Premier League, which also results in an extremely fierce schedule within the league.

At present, Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea are definitely the top ranks of the Premier League.

Manchester United has still not been able to find its previous state after years of turmoil. For this reason, many people feel that Manchester United has begun to decline.

After Arsenal experienced Wenger's departure, many people also said that they would copy Manchester United's trend, but Arsenal's management is obviously much smarter.

It was almost a smooth transition. From Wenger to Mourinho, a system with Lucky as the absolute core was established. After the team completed its reorganization, it once again burst out with vigorous vitality.

This is also the reason why many people are optimistic about Arsenal.

Although they missed the Champions League this season, Arsenal fans and the media feel that Arsenal will appear on a higher level next season after all.

Of course, in terms of the league itself, Arsenal VS Manchester City is definitely the focus of the spotlight!

On the eve of the match between the two sides, the entire Manchester City team had already arrived in London and carried out training activities.

Manchester City's head coach expressed his expectations for victory in this game in previous interviews. They came to London with the expectation of taking away three points.

Of course, this statement aroused strong anger from Arsenal fans. Three points at the Emirates Stadium are not so easy to get.

Compared to Guardiola's high-profile, Mourinho remained silent.

He didn't accept any media interviews at all, and he didn't express any public anger or anything like that.

Many people feel that Mourinho is currently busy with tactical arrangements for training and points-grabbing battles.

But only insiders knew that Mourinho had been given a hush order.

Because Mourinho has been provoking too much in front of the media, creating topics, etc., this has resulted in Arsenal's public relations department being on standby almost 24 hours a day to deal with problems and help Mourinho wipe his butt.

This working model also made these staff members dissatisfied. Due to collective protests, the club had to issue a gag order.

Mourinho was honest, which also gave Arsenal a brief moment of leisure.

People's eyes gradually came to the competition.

For Arsenal fans, what they are most looking forward to is undoubtedly whether Lucky will start in this game.

After missing seven rounds of games, he came on as a substitute for two consecutive rounds. Now that his injury has almost recovered, it is time for Lucai to start in such a critical game.

Moreover, Arsenal currently cannot find a replacement for Lucky.

Even looking at the entire football world, there are very few people who can replace Lucky.

Mourinho will not give up such a powerful player.

And after entering the point-grabbing battle, Lucky will also need to take on more tasks.

He needs to be in better shape and adapt to the game.

January 14th, in the evening.

The sky slowly darkened, and the flashing lights lit up the entire city.

In the area where the Emirates Stadium is located, a large number of fans have come around the stadium.

They cheered and rushed to the stadium, waiting for this Premier League focus battle.

In order to warm up for this game, various topics are emerging one after another, such as

"Will Lucky make the debut?" 》

"How does Manchester City deal with Arsenal's home advantage?" 》

"Can Arsenal win at home?" 》

"Who will be kicked out of the Champions League qualification circle?" 》

etc.

These topics make this game the focus of everyone's attention.

At about 4 o'clock, the buses carrying players from both sides arrived at the Emirates Stadium almost at the same time.

Watching the players from the two teams stepping off the bus, the cheers of the fans at the scene also rose.

They were calling the players by name!

They sent blessings to the home team with the hottest cheers.

Amid cheers, players from both teams walked onto the court and into their respective locker rooms.

Arsenal's dressing room is mainly red and white, with a huge simple Arsenal logo printed on the gray floor.

When Lucai and others walked into the locker room, their jerseys were already hanging neatly on the locker.

Towels, drinking water, spare jerseys and other items are prepared below.

Arsenal's equipment managers are extremely diligent.

The entire locker room is U-shaped, and Lucky's position is almost in the middle of the U-shape. This is also a symbol of status within the team.

Lucky stuffed his backpack into the cabinet and put on the training jerseys handed over by the equipment engineer. During the warm-up session, they would not wear game jerseys.

After changing the equipment, Lucai stood up and clapped his hands and said, "Move faster and be more active during the warm-up. Pay attention to protect yourself and don't get hurt!"

After Lucky finished speaking, he immediately left the locker room and went out to warm up.

And other Arsenal players followed suit.

Throughout the warm-up session, Arsenal fans continued to cheer for the players.

Lucky's warm-up movements are very simple. In addition to bumping the ball, passing long and short passes to practice his feet, he often chooses to jog.

In this way, you can fully warm up your body while thinking about the game.

After the warm-up, they returned to the locker room and changed into their red and white home jerseys.

Mourinho is also announcing the starting lineup.

"Goalkeeper Martinez, defenders Jimenez and Hummels"

When it came to midfield, Mourinho barely paused and shouted; "Kante, Ke, Wilshere!"

This also shows that Lucky has determined the starting lineup for this game.

Teammates smiled and sent blessings.

After missing a full 7 rounds and being a substitute for two more rounds, Lucky finally recovered from his injury and returned to the starting lineup.

Lucky also had a smile on his face.

Wilshere personally gave Lucky the captain's armband.

"I can finally hand this thing over and play football with it. I always feel restricted!"

Wilshere smiled and patted Lucky on the shoulder and said, "Welcome back, captain!"

Lucky nodded with a smile, then took a deep breath and said: "Okay, guys, thank you very much for your blessings, but the top priority is that we have to focus on the game. This is my first game back, and it is also the focus of the league. We all know that Manchester City is not an opponent that can be easily defeated, but because of this, they are worth defeating!”

"Let us play a wonderful game at home and let us give back to the fans with a wonderful game!"

After saying that, Lucky raised his arms and shouted; "Arsenal!

"go ahead!

——”

The brief roar represented the Gunners' determination to win at this moment.

Mourinho smiled as he watched the Arsenal players walk out of the locker room under the leadership of Lucky. He said to Arteta on the side: "Kelly always makes people want to follow him."

"His spiritual energy and leadership qualities can influence many people!" Artet shrugged; "We have to admit that some people are born with this ability."

Mourinho nodded, having seen many such players during his coaching career.

They have natural leadership skills and the ability to influence their surroundings.

The mental attributes of this type of player are amazing.

At least Mourinho feels that compared to those top stars, these players are the foundation and core of building a team.

At the player tunnel, players from both sides were already standing on both sides.

Lucky stood at the front, looking slightly sideways.

David Silva, Yaya Toure and De Bruyne are all in Manchester City's lineup, which also indicates that it will be a tough battle.

But Lucky focused more on Yaya Toure.

Compared with Yaya Toure at his peak, Yaya Toure at this time has obviously gradually faded in Manchester City's lineup.

He is no longer the strongest b2b midfielder.

Guardiola even abandoned Yaya Toure in the Champions League from September to November. In response, Yaya Toure's agent bombarded Guardiola, which ended with Yaya Toure's apology on social media. .

Although Yaya Toure still played in this game, his tactical status will not be too high.

Looking at Yaya Toure's appearance, Lucky couldn't help but remember the time when he just joined Arsenal. How powerful Yaya Toure was at that time!

At that time, Yaya Toure was high-spirited and could be called the top midfielder in the Premier League, with a super thigh.

At that time, Yaya Toure was definitely someone Lucky needed to look up to.

Nowadays, things are different and people are different

Yaya Toure is not at his peak and can't even find his place in Manchester City. It is very likely that he will leave the Premier League stage this season or at most for one season.
