Strong Waist

Chapter 92: Spending money again

Mbappe became famous in one battle. Different from his minor fame last season, after this Champions League knockout match, everyone will remember this trend-chasing boy.

Discussions and praises abound on the Internet and in real life.

Unparalleled speed and excellent combination of man and ball have made the 18-year-old Mbappe a teenage star, and his value has skyrocketed.

Even in the Arsenal dressing room, many people are discussing this teenager.

"I went to watch the Liverpool game last night. Monaco's No. 29 was too fast."

"The start-up speed is fast, the explosive power is strong, and the body can be opened in an instant. This kind of unreasonable passing is the most annoying!"

"Liverpool's performance in that game was terrible. If they had shown the same form against us, the score would not have been like this."

"The midfielder couldn't intercept, and he couldn't apply enough pressure when pressing high."

"The main problem is that we can't intercept Mbappe!"

Teammates are discussing.

Lucky also watched that game, and I have to say that Monaco performed better.

Liverpool, on the other hand, is in a bit of a sluggish state. Perhaps it is because under the huge pressure of the league, Liverpool failed to get enough rest. Anyway, all Liverpool players feel like they have not woken up.

As for Mbappe, he is really fast!

But it has not yet reached its absolute peak, and there is room for growth in popularity.

In the 18th World Cup, Mbappe's true fame was when he went out alone to destroy Argentina's defense.

But at this time, Mbappe can no longer be underestimated.

"Captain, if it were you, could you restrain Mbappe?"

Bellerin asked.

Hearing this, everyone turned to look at Lucky.

They are very confident in Lucky's inhuman defensive ability.

To this, Lucky’s answer is

"Looking at teamwork, as long as we don't give him space to pass the ball, I should be able to defend him!"

This is Lucky's conservative judgment.

If Mbappe's teammates are in a neutral position, even Lucky will have difficulty keeping up with the opponent's speed and restricting them.

However, if there are teammates of your own, you can restrict the opponent's teammates and block the passing channel.

Then Lucky's chances of limiting Mbappé will be greatly increased.

After all, Lucky hates this kind of speed player the most.

They only care about blasting without using any technology at all, and Lucky takes advantage of this.

"Don't worry about it. We are out of reach this season. Focus on the current game. The next round against Leicester City is what we need to pay attention to."

Due to the intensive schedule of the FA Cup, Europa League and league.

Arsenal will be in a double-match week situation for three consecutive weeks.

This also shows that the most brutal second half of the season has arrived.

At this point in time, there is a high incidence of injuries.

"Everyone goes to the team doctor's room to gather and undergo a physical examination first. After the three main forwards have completed the examination, they will receive massage and relaxation treatment from the team doctor. After training, they will further relax." Le Kai said seriously; "The end of the season is the most critical. I I don’t want to see too many people getting injured.”

Injuries are inevitable in football.

Even Lucky took nearly ten rounds off this season.

But it was in the early stages of the league, and there was already room for error.

But after the point-grabbing battle, any main player is a valuable resource, and injuries may ruin a team's efforts throughout the season.

"Okay! Big mom!"

"I feel like I'm used to the captain's nagging!"

"I advise you to be more understanding, that is love and care!"

"Hahahaha! Go check your body first, and then train!"

“gogogo!

"

Lucky shook his head and watched his teammates walk out of the locker room.

The atmosphere is quite relaxed.

This is the most taboo time-critical atmosphere.

Meanwhile, coaches are having meetings.

The league has entered the final stage. After integrating the league performance, it is the job of the coaching staff to discuss and summarize.

Arsenal have performed very well this season.

The situation was stabilized in all three-front battles.

Currently, Arsenal is the closest to the FA Cup and Europa League titles.

On the contrary, it is in a less than ideal state on the league side.

Mainly due to the elimination of Manchester City and Liverpool from the Champions League, they were able to enter a single-line combat environment earlier than Arsenal. Although Chelsea is currently leading the standings, combined with their performance in recent games, at the end of the league In an extremely chaotic situation.

On the other hand, Manchester City has won consecutive victories in the last five rounds and is in a sprint position in the standings.

Liverpool will obviously work hard after getting rid of the pressure of the Champions League.

But Arsenal is still stymied by the Europa League.

Sometimes being eliminated is a good thing!

In addition, Arsenal began to look for candidates for the center.

Of course, it is not to replace Lukaku.

Lukaku has performed very well this season. After getting rid of his bad habits, Mourinho is also full of affirmation of his performance.

But Liverpool's dismissal and Campbell-type players attracted Mourinho's attention.

For a defensive-oriented head coach, the temptation to radiate the defense forward is simply not too great.

But Campbell's ability is obviously not enough to meet this demand.

As mentioned before, Campbell really only knows how to run.

Other combination of man and ball, fulcrum ability and organizational ability are not particularly outstanding.

Mourinho and the coaching staff are currently discussing this type of replacement players.

After all, Arsenal will definitely play in the Champions League next season.

The pressure of the Premier League + Champions League is not comparable to the pressure of the Premier League + Europa League.

By then, more rotations will inevitably be needed, and the addition of such players can also enrich Arsenal's tactical system.

At present, the best players of this type are Real Madrid's Benzema and Tottenham's Harry Kane.

But it is difficult for these two players to make transfer operations.

Benzema will not want to leave Real Madrid.

Harry Kane wants to leave, but it is impossible for him to choose Arsenal.

This will only make Tottenham fans hate him with gnashing of teeth.

Fortunately, they quickly found a replacement.

Player currently playing for Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga, Olivier Giroud.

Giroud was supposed to join Arsenal in 2012 as a replacement for Van Persie, but due to the arrival of Suarez, this link took five years.

Two seasons ago, Giroud joined Dortmund and performed well under the guidance of head coach Tuchel.

Now Arsenal have once again focused their attention on this player.

The king of heaven overpowers the tigers of the earth, but I am the great Jilu!

This sentence describes the player Giroud.

Although the time was staggered, fate chose Giroud after all.

However, in order to facilitate this transfer, Arsenal needs to bear financial pressure.

Today, Arsenal is still in a state of owing money.

Forcing a transfer operation in this state is undoubtedly a bit of an overdraft.

But there was nothing they could do.

If you want results, you have to spend money.

To this end, Mourinho approached the club chairman Usmanov.

Usmanov's loan to Arsenal this season is their main debt at the moment.

Mourinho means that this year's repayment will be postponed for one year, and next year's repayment will be paid directly in double.

Usmanov has no objection to this. For an oligarch like him, this little money is not that urgent.

But there are problems.

That is, if Arsenal's performance does not improve next season, the club's finances are likely to enter a bad cycle, and it is likely that they will not be able to recover for several years.

"We must make a bet!"

Mourinho said forcefully: "We are in good shape and have a good lineup. We are a team that will definitely achieve results. Opportunities will inevitably carry risks. If we avoid risks, we will only get closer and closer to the championship. The further away!”

Speaking of this, Mourinho said with a bewitching tone; "This is probably the second league championship and Champions League championship under your administration!"

Hearing this, Usmanov's eyes lit up.

A Champions League title earned him huge support from Arsenal fans.

If there is one more, he will definitely become the legendary chairman of Arsenal.

Usmanov waved his hand and said: "I will inform the relevant personnel that if Arsenal wins the league or the Champions League next season, all interest on the loan will be waived. If Arsenal wins the double, all the loans will be converted into bonuses that season. Distribute!”

Having said this, Usmanov said with blazing eyes: "I will give you enough support and motivation, and then it's up to you!"
