Strong Waist

After Mourinho took charge, Arsenal's booking data increased significantly, which is related to the confrontation advocated by Mourinho.

In a fierce confrontation, it is inevitable to make some small movements with your hands. The key is how to conceal these small movements, or how to successfully obstruct the opponent without being discovered by the referee.

It's just that compared to other teams that are good at fouling, Arsenal is not particularly good at this aspect.

In the past, Arsenal followed a technical flow. They were the side that was violated, so they did not think too much about fouls.

But things are different now. They urgently need to solve this kind of problem.

Especially defensive players!

The Premier League roughneck and the Serie A veteran are the two main types of defenders in professional defensive circles.

In contrast, Serie A veterans are obviously better at using the rules of the game.

In the entire Arsenal team, Wilshere knows how to use these skills best.

To this end, Mourinho organized defenders and midfielders, and Wilshere taught some fouling techniques.

In Arsenal's training ground, Lucky, Hummels, Kante, Jimenez and others gathered together. Wilshere stood among them and was vividly describing how to "make the right foul".

Although fouling is not recommended, reasonable use of the rules and making key decisions at critical moments may affect the direction of the game.

Therefore, even if it is some shady means, Lucai and others still have to learn it.

"First of all, you must create a blind spot. In this link, the referee is your biggest enemy. How to confuse his vision is the key!"

After saying that, Wilshere came to Lucky's side, grabbed Lucky's clothes, and said: "Kay! Run with all your strength!"

Lucky started immediately.

But after just two steps, he couldn't run anymore.

Kanter and others also looked over in shock. From their perspective, they could not see any problems.

"Why can't I run?"

Kanter asked curiously.

Wilshere let go of Lucky's clothes and smiled: "This is the key to attracting people."

"When pulling people, you must choose to pull the jersey, and the jersey cannot be pulled horizontally. This may cause the jersey to be stretched. When the referee sees it, the yellow card cannot escape. So you have to be like me."

With that said, Wilshere showed off again.

Everyone walked around and saw Wilshere pulling Lucky's jersey down as hard as he could.

Under the huge force, Lucai's body always maintained a slightly curved movement.

"People can't run fast without bending over. This situation applies when the opponent takes the lead and pulls out of position. You can quickly smooth out the gap in position and make a steal. Of course, this is just a separate situation. , you can also use it in other ways, even when attacking, you need to make your own judgment!"

Everyone nodded slightly.

Wilshere stopped Lucky and said, "Try it!"

Lucky immediately grabbed Wilshere's clothes and pulled hard!

Wilshere was almost pulled to the ground by the huge force.

"The force is too great! Then everyone can see that you are committing a foul. You need to find the right amount of force, just enough to make me straighten up!"

Lucky nodded and tried again.

This time, Lucky succeeded.

Wilshere is much faster than Lucky, but in this pulling situation, the two are almost running close to each other, and Wilshere's speed advantage cannot be used at all.

Although it can only last 1-2 seconds, for Lucai, he can complete the steal within this time difference.

In a word, very practical!

"Any more?"

Lucky couldn't help but become a little interested.

Wilshere smiled and said: "The next step is how to block the position."

Here, Wilshere's dirty little class continues, and Mourinho and others are also discussing on the other side.

"Our current lineup is enough. The only problem is the central midfielder position. Wilshere is currently considered a shortcoming of the team. His ability does not match the entire team!"

Wilshere's ability is certainly good, but it seems a bit inadequate in today's Arsenal team.

Arteta shook his head and said: "I think Wilshere is the best choice. In fact, what we need is not the strongest, but the most suitable!"

"If you want to bring out the tactical characteristics, you must have a sacrifice point. The sacrifice point in the midfield is Wilshere. His presence can provide great protection for Kai, just like Mane in the frontcourt."

"We can't guarantee that a stronger central midfielder can do what Wilshere can do, or will the opponent be willing to sacrifice themselves?"

Hearing this, the coaches began to think deeply.

Arteta's words reminded them.

They have always wanted to build the strongest team.

What is the strongest?

Naturally, they are very strong in every position, similar to Real Madrid's Galacticos.

But it's not the best.

If a team wants to stay afloat, it cannot all use big gears.

Large gears may work and be more efficient.

But the running-in of the pinion and the handling of details are also critical.

Just like Arsenal now, they are integrated, and everyone's cooperation and understanding during the game are very good.

Almost with a look, they knew what they should do.

What this team currently lacks is the training of more games.

"Wilshere is indeed the most appropriate choice!" Mourinho also said.

"He can ensure Kai's versatility and is willing to actively sacrifice himself to defend and fill in positions. This is a rare phenomenon and we cannot destroy this situation."

"But we also need more offensive and defensive tactics training!"

"Kante is a player who focuses on defense, but he can't just play football. He needs to perform more functions. In offense, he also needs to make some contributions. He needs the ability to play the ball!"

Kanter has always been positioned as a defensive midfielder. He spends almost all the time in the half court, which can be regarded as Arsenal's backcourt insurance.

But this style of play will always be somewhat out of touch with the team.

Arsenal now advocates multi-functionality!

For example, as for full-backs, Robertson and Bellerín, in addition to defending, they also need to step forward and participate in the attack at the right time.

Lucky has more functions, and even the goalkeeper has developed a kick to find the striker.

Under this circumstance, Mourinho does not want Kanter to continue in such a monotonous manner.

"Arteta, if you go and help Kanter build up his abilities in this area, I believe you will do a great job!"

Mourinho handed the job to Arteta.

The latter was also extremely excited.

After all, this may be his first independent work indicator after joining the Arsenal coaching staff.

"Ricardo, inform the information department that I need more information about the other team. Their recent work is not very satisfactory to me."

"Doss, in recent times, you have been focusing on the team's training, and those players who want to practice more have to clear the court for me. Now is not the time for them to be willful, they must ensure their physical fitness!"

"There are still three months left before the end of this season. In the final period, we cannot relax. This is our first season and we need to produce some results so that we can continue to stay here!"

"Of course, we trust this team!"

After that, Mourinho said loudly: "Go! Everyone go and finish their work!"

Everyone got up and left the conference room, preparing to start their own work.

Mourinho returned to the office, holding the match list in his hand.

This is the Europa League match list that has been freshly released.

Starting from this season, the Europa League will adopt the principle of upper and lower halves.

That is to say, after the top 16 draws, we can basically understand the approximate opponents.

The half zone where Arsenal is located can be called the half zone of death.

Ajax, Arsenal, Manchester United, Lyon, Roma, Schalke

Of the total eight places, six are from the five major regions.

Arsenal's opponent in the quarter-finals will be Lyon from Ligue 1.

Lyon's performance in the Champions League was not good. After being eliminated, they moved to the Europa League.

Even if they win against Lyon, they still need to face Roma or Schalke 04 in the quarter-finals.

Looking at the other half.

Mourinho said that he wants to go to the bottom half, where there is less competition, which will allow him to better deal with the problems of the league.

It's just that the draw has been decided, and these are just delusions.
