Strong Waist

As Christmas approaches, Arsenal fans are not in a pretty mood.

In the past few games, Arsenal's state has been ups and downs and is not stable.

They can beat West Brom 4-0 away from home, but they can also lose 0-2 at home to Swansea.

In the fourteenth round, Everton 1-1 Arsenal.

In the fifteenth round, Arsenal 0-2 Swansea.

In the sixteenth round, West Brom 0-4 Arsenal.

In the seventeenth round, Reading 2-5 Arsenal.

In the eighteenth round, Wigan Athletic 0-1 Arsenal.

After five rounds, Arsenal has 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. The overall winning rate looks good, but the ups and downs in form are extremely serious.

Without Cazorla and Wilshere, Arsenal's midfield faces a huge challenge.

Arteta was forced to shoulder all the pressure.

But Arteta's performance was not enough to fill Cazorla's vacancy. Even the defense with Lucky and Ramsey running behind could not fill the offensive shortcomings.

In two of the five games, Lucky was the best performer in the game.

They are the fourteenth and eighteenth rounds respectively.

In the fourteenth round of the offensive and defensive battle against Everton, Lucky's defensive ability sniped Everton's offense time and time again.

In the words of the commentator, 'He single-handedly took out Everton's offensive line! ’

Although it is a bit exaggerated, it can be said.

This game was the most difficult game for Lucky. The offensive and defensive battle between the two teams was ridiculously fast.

And when Arsenal's offense was unable to come out, all the pressure came to the defense.

If not for the effective defense of Lucky and Vermaelen, the draw would not have been possible.

In this game, Lucai did not score a goal or assist, but he managed to win the title of the best player in the game and score with 5 steals, 4 interceptions and 4 damages.

Lucky's performance makes Arsenal fans happy, but at the same time they are full of worries about Arsenal's future.

After all, Wilshere has already announced that he is out for the season.

Although Cazorla's injury can be expected to come back, according to the news released by the club, he will have to wait until April.

How Arsenal can survive this period is a question.

Although the current situation is good, what about the future?

What if you get injured again?

Now all the hopes of Arsenal fans are pinned on Arteta. If this guy gets injured, everything will be ruined.

But blessings never come in pairs, and misfortunes never come alone.

In the 19th round, Arsenal faced West Ham United at home.

In this game, Arsenal relied on Arteta's excellent performance to win the game with a score of 5-1.

But before the fans were happy for long, a furious West Ham United player put a shovel directly into Arteta's ankle.

Without any surprise, Arteta was injured.

This also caused Arsenal to completely explode. Lucky rushed over almost immediately to beat the 'butcher'. Even captain Vermaelen also rushed over. If the referee hadn't appeared immediately, it would have probably turned into an incident. A vicious fight.

In the end, the West Ham United player was sent off with a red card and may face the danger of suspension.

But Arsenal's losses were even more severe.

Arteta was injured and the only supporting midfielder left.

Another regular has been added to Arsenal's injury list.

Arsenal injury list: Wilshere (retired for the season), Cazorla, Arteta, Szczesny, Arshavin and Rosicky.

Arsenal's bench is already insufficiently thick, and this series of injuries has made them even worse.

Kearney training base, medical room.

Arteta sat on the hospital bed with his ankle in a cast, and the coaches headed by Wenger stood beside him.

Arteta's face was bitter, while Wenger and others stared at Arteta's ankle in shock.

The team doctor smiled bitterly and said: "A dislocated ankle will require at least 6-8 weeks of rest, and recovery will take nearly three months!"

Hearing this, Wenger turned to team doctor Levin and asked, "Is there a way to help him recover quickly?"

Team doctor Levine shook his head; "There is no way! The current situation is not optimistic."

Wenger pondered again.

After a moment, Wenger patted Arteta on the shoulder.

"have a good rest!"

Immediately, he left the ward.

At this moment, Wenger's shoulders slumped a little, and the stormy Arsenal once again received a heavy blow.

They got rid of the predicament at the beginning of the season, but suffered continuous injuries in the middle of the season. All the generals in the midfield were injured, leaving only a few big fish and two small fish.

Arsenal's ball control foundation has been completely eliminated.

Wilshere, Cazorla, Arteta, Rosicky, you can keep any one of them!

But he never thought that one day all four of them would be injured.

And it takes 2-3 months to recover.

What does this mean?

It will be the end of the season in 2-3 months. How can Arsenal stabilize the situation and compete for more points?

Wenger suddenly felt very tired.

Van Persie played full attendance last season, so Arsenal could soar and achieve a relatively satisfactory result.

But this season the problem does not appear in the front line, but in the midfield which is even more deadly!

All four generals are lying on the hospital bed!

Who can they rely on?

How will Arsenal's passing control continue?

Ramsey? Diaby? Coquelin? Chamberlain or Lucky?

Can any of these people do a good job?

No!

None!

Wenger found out of the medical room that the first-team players had not left. They stood at the door, looking at him eagerly.

Wenger looked around, and he looked at Vermaelen, Chamberlain, Walcott, Podolski, Suarez and Lucky.

Something seemed to be flowing in his eyes. After a moment, he said, "Go back. The specific news will be announced tomorrow."

Lucky stepped forward; "Arteta's injury"

Wenger waved his hand: "I said, go back!"

Lucky nodded helplessly, and everyone dispersed, but everyone had a depressed look on their faces.

After everyone left, Patles came out.

He stood beside Wenger, glanced at him, and said, "How do we play next?"

The problem has already happened. They can't complain about themselves. What they need now is to solve the problem.

After the loss of three generals, how Arsenal should deal with themselves is a key.

Wenger pondered for a moment, looked far away, and slowly said: "I once said that football is to please the fans and to give the fans enough enjoyment, so we must take the initiative in the game, so I don't like Mourinho."

Wenger paused for a moment, leaving Patrales the opportunity to interrupt.

But Patrales did not respond, he looked at Wenger with a squinting eye, and he was familiar with this tone.

This guy said this when talking about "iron-blooded spirit and technical factors" in the office last year.

Mourinho is the representative of defense first and the representative of defensive counterattack.

This is contrary to Wenger's emphasis on the theory of "football at your feet".

The two were silent for a long time. Wenger saw that Patrales did not respond, so he could only continue awkwardly: "But we don't have a championship."

Patrales said directly; "You want to play defensive counterattack?"

Wenger: ""

After a while, he sighed; "Do we have any other way?"

Patrales also sighed, as Wenger said, they had no other way.

If Cazorla, Arteta and Wilshere, if any one of them stays, they can continue to play the passing and controlling tactics.

But the injuries of these three people completely shattered Arsenal's passing and controlling factors.

They can't expect Ramsey, Chamberlain and Luka to do this kind of work, they can't do it at this stage.

"You say, if you give Luka enough freedom, what can he do on the defensive end?"

Wenger suddenly said.

This sentence made Patrais stunned for a moment.

In fact, Luka is bound in Arsenal's lineup and tactical system.

Because of the emphasis on regional defense, Luka has a special defensive area. Many times, he can't choose to defend independently, but is forced to stay where he is.

Although it forms a linkage with the overall, it sacrifices part of Luka's defensive ability.

Today, Luka is only a part of Arsenal's defense, and is far from being given enough resources and the treatment of the defensive core.

But even so, Luka still averaged 4 steals and 4 interceptions per game, which is already amazing.

But what if he is completely liberated?

Patles narrowed his eyes slightly, he didn't know what would happen.

Maybe the data will still be like this.

Or maybe, the data will show explosive growth.

But what is certain is that once the decision is made to play defensive counterattack, then Lekai will be the absolute core of both offense and defense.

That is, the core of defense and the core of fast attack.

Lekai's key passing ability is one of the best in Arsenal.

His long pass, short pass, arc pass and even through pass are involved, and he can play various styles of counterattacks.

And Arsenal also meets all the necessary conditions for defensive counterattack.

There are fast players such as Podolski, Suarez and Walcott in the frontcourt.

There are Chamberlain, Ramsey and Lekai in the midfield.

Chamberlain's speed and ball distribution ability are both powerful weapons in defensive counterattack.

All the conditions are met, it depends on whether Arsenal can play it out.

If it can really play out, then Wenger doesn't mind becoming a joke in the mouths of others.

Results first!

The championship is everything!

Whether it is winning the championship with beautiful football or defensive counterattack, as long as the champion is the hero in the mouth of the media and fans.

Isn't the so-called pleasing fans to win the damn championship?

Even if the game is beautiful, losing is losing!

Therefore, even if the game is ugly, Wenger must win this time!
