Strong Waist

The barbecue is the last indulgence of the season.

After all, after this party, there will be various competition days that last for 9 months.

This period of time will definitely be accompanied by ups and downs of status and the emergence of various contradictions. Only those who can persevere can achieve final success.

This must be very bitter and difficult.

After all, in all the major leagues in Europe, including the European War, how many teams want those few championships. This is like crossing a single-plank bridge. Only the strongest can succeed.

The atmosphere is still slightly relaxed.

Everyone was talking about today's game while enjoying the future.

The performance of the three little ones was also extremely active. Perhaps because there were three young people joining in, the atmosphere of the entire barbecue party was extremely pleasant.

Giroud also smiled as he watched his teammates being funny and playful.

He preferred this look to a serious atmosphere.

After all, the game is hard enough, and it would be boring if you were still serious during the relaxation stage.

"Feeling good?"

Lucky came over with juice.

Since it is the relaxation stage, some people choose to drink, but just don’t drink too much.

Giroud clinked a glass with Lucky with a bottle of wine in his hand.

"It feels good. Today's game once again proved that my transfer is valuable!"

Giroud said.

Lucky smiled; "We will face stronger opponents in the future. This is just the beginning of everything."

"I understand!" Giroud took a deep breath and said; "I am ready. Whether it is the league or the European war, I will do my best to bring victory to the team."

Lucky nodded and said immediately, "I watched the European Cup!"

Hearing this, Jirou's expression froze slightly.

Obviously, this is a topic he doesn't want to talk about.

Regardless, they lost the championship they were about to win.

In the final in Portugal, they failed to perform well and thus missed the championship.

"In the 74th minute of that game, I had a good chance to shoot, but I didn't take it. After the game, that scene kept replaying in my mind. I was thinking if I could be more calm, if If I could score that goal, would we have a chance to win the championship?"

"Facts have proven that failure to grasp means failure to grasp, and this is still the case even now."

"For this reason, I train more actively so that when that moment comes, I can seize it instead of missing the opportunity!"

Looking at Giroud's slightly depressed expression, Lucky nodded and said; "Everyone will have this moment, especially as a forward, the offensive arrow of the team. Facing such a missed opportunity will inevitably produce a corresponding psychological burden. , but I hope you can forget this and start over here!”

"This emotion will only lock you into that memory step by step."

Giroud said; "I will try to make changes."

After saying that, he turned to look at Lucai and said, "Don't you ever have this kind of moment?"

Before Lucky could speak, Wilshere said, "He is the key player. He can always seize such opportunities."

Lucky waved his hands and said, "How is that possible!"

"I have had this kind of moment too, but I am a midfielder, so I am a little further away from the goal. This emotion is not particularly strong, but I will feel this way every time I am eliminated!"

"So, I will sort these out and then digest them slowly. I allow myself to make mistakes, but I cannot allow myself to make the same mistakes!"

Giroud and Wilshere nodded.

"This season's Champions League is not easy to play. Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester City, Liverpool, Paris, Bayern, Juventus, in addition, there are many hidden dark horses in the future. I don't know how our group will be. I hope we can be divided into In the easier category!”

This season's Champions League is truly a battle of gods.

There are three strong teams in the Premier League, Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool.

Although Liverpool's performance in the league is poor, no one can deny the fighting ability of this team.

As for Arsenal and Manchester City, let’s not mention the latter for now. Arsenal is definitely the favorite to win the championship.

Juventus in Serie A are also working hard. Two consecutive third-place finishes in the Champions League have made them even more crazy about winning the Champions League.

La Liga's three major teams, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are also eyeing it.

This season, Paris Saint-Germain broke the football transfer capital record and introduced Neymar and Mbappe, which also greatly increased Paris Saint-Germain's strength.

Bayern Munich and Dortmund in the Bundesliga are still strong.

The Champions League composed of these teams will definitely become extremely exciting.

It can be said that unlike last season, many teams failed to qualify for the Champions League due to their previous poor performance. This season's Champions League is definitely a scene of great players fighting.

Therefore, a good signing is of great help to the team.

“Our signings have been good!”

Lukaku smiled and said; "In the 14-15 season, we are"

Lucky raised his eyebrows slightly.

Lukaku immediately shut up. He lowered his head and struggled to eat the meat, not talking about it.

For Arsenal, the 14-15 season is a winning season with a lot of luck. This statement makes them feel very unhappy.

Of course, Arsenal at that time was actually not as strong as it is today, and perhaps this was really a possibility.

If they meet a team like Real Madrid that has won the Champions League many times in the final, Arsenal will definitely find it more difficult to play.

However, Juventus was not a good team that year, but Real Madrid fell in the semi-finals, and Arsenal was not responsible for this.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. We will know how the grouping is after a while. But no matter how the grouping is, even if it is the death group, we still have the strength to advance to the elimination round, so don't worry too much, we just need to play well. Just play your own game!”

Lucky stretched out his juice and said; "The new season has begun, guys, our goal has always been clear, that is"

Everyone stood up one after another, picked up their wine glasses, and shouted loudly, "Champion!!——"

One week later, on August 19th, the second round of the 2017/2018 Premier League season.

Arsenal faces Stoke City away from home.

In this game, Arsenal still played with all the main players, and Giroud, who performed well in the previous game, was still on the bench.

But 60 minutes of game time passed, and Arsenal gained nothing.

Obviously their counterattacks were sharp and they threatened the opponent's goal many times, but they just couldn't score.

The problem ultimately lies in Lukaku wasting too many opportunities.

At this time, Lukaku was also extremely angry.

He was extremely dissatisfied with his performance, and although his teammates didn't say anything, he could feel the eager looks from his teammates.

This look seemed to be questioning himself.

‘Why do you always miss opportunities? ’

The coaching staff is also very dissatisfied with Lukaku's performance.

Mourinho has stood on the sidelines and roared many times.

This approach is also putting pressure on Lukaku.

Lucky looked at Lukaku.

This guy really can't handle the pressure!

After failing to score for the first time, he fell into a frustrated mood, which caused his subsequent performance to become extremely bad.

During the halftime break, Mourinho had a conversation with him alone, thinking that it would get better, but he did not expect that it would still be the same.

In this situation

Beep! ! !

The whistle sounded and Arsenal made a substitution.

Giroud stood on the sidelines.

This substitution made Lukaku's face become even more ugly.

He was upset about his performance, and also angry about being replaced.

Having reached this point, he had no choice but to be substituted.

In the 63rd minute, Lukaku came off the field and Giroud came on as a substitute.

"A matchup substitution, Lukaku's performance caused Mourinho's dissatisfaction, and Giroud got the chance to play again."

"Looking at previous performances, Lukaku wasted too many opportunities. His mentality of being too anxious to score made him unable to handle the ball delicately. We know very well that Lukaku did not play like this last season. of!"

"Obviously Giroud's arrival has brought great psychological pressure to Arsenal's top scorer! If Giroud performs better in this game, then"

Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray did not continue.

But what happens next is easy to guess. There is a high probability that a cooling-off period is needed. Giroud will start and Lukaku will be on the bench.

What made the penalty situation even worse was that Lukaku was kept on the bench, waiting for Giroud to make a mistake.

Obviously, these are not the situations Lukaku wants to see.
