Chapter 243 Arsenal's Winter Signings

Chapter 243 Arsenal's Winter Signings

Li Shou, who had been suspended for more than half a month, successfully attracted everyone's attention in his first match, and even firmly occupied the headlines of major sports pages after the match.

In particular, the scene of Li Shou walking forward to take a free kick with a helpless face was replayed indefinitely. The head coach took the initiative to ask the goalkeeper to take a free kick. This kind of thing basically cannot be seen in the game, but it happened in the Champions League and happened to Arsenal.

Of course, the most important point is that Li Shou, as the goalkeeper, actually kicked the ball into the opponent's goal. So far, Li Shou's free kick success rate is [-]%.

"Secret? Guys, do you think I really have any secrets to tell?" After the game, Li Shou was stopped by reporters about the success rate of free kicks.

"You don't seem to be willing to take that free kick." Naturally, Li Shou's reluctance to take the penalty could not escape the media's questions.

"No, I was just a little surprised that the head asked me to go." Li Shou was indeed a little surprised, but in fact he did not want to go. The team hadn't reached the point where he needed to stand up. After all, the first half was not over yet.

On the other hand, it is naturally impossible for Wenger to overcome this problem, but Wenger, who is in a good mood, praised Li Shou lavishly. After three consecutive victories in the group stage, the way to qualify for Group D has become clear.

Arsenal has three wins and three wins with 9 points, Dortmund has two wins and one loss with 6 points, Galatasaray and Anderlecht only have 1 point, according to the current form, Arsenal can qualify as long as they don't have a three-game losing streak.

Therefore, in this case, Arsenal can return more attention to the league. The current form of Arsenal in the league is not optimistic. After all, the Premier League is no longer the period of the traditional top four, and the competition is very fierce.

Arsenal continues to win one more victory, and Li Shou also needs to prove in the league that whether it is the Champions League or the league, he can decide the outcome of Arsenal.

"It feels so good to be back on the court again." On the second day back to London, Li Shou pulled Sanchez and Griezmann together and even called his younger brother Chambers to have a rub.

Of course, this meal was invited by Sanchez. As the player with the highest annual salary in the team, the other three would not be polite, so they ordered everything from King Crab and Australian Dragon, and they were the most expensive ones, um, Li Shou likes to eat them.

"Li, did you bring us to order more?" Griezmann said truthfully.

"How is it possible, am I like that kind of person? If I really want to eat, I can buy it myself. I do this to increase our relationship and strengthen our tacit understanding on the court," Li Shouyi said positively.

"Then why don't you invite the whole team over?" Sanchez glared at Li Shou.

"Dude, I'm doing this to save you money." Li Shou had an expression that I was doing it for your own good.

In terms of language, Sanchez and others can't compete with Li Shou. After all, Chinese is so extensive and profound, even if it is translated into other languages, Li Shou's language library is not comparable to them.

For Li Shou, a happy meal was just a real meal. After the meal, Li Shou went home directly. Li Shou was not interested in going to nightclubs, because he was messed up enough now, and there was no need to cause trouble for himself.

Players are physically stronger than ordinary people, not to mention they are all young people. It is understandable that the hormones are bursting, and Europe and the United States have their own development, so it is okay to go out to play occasionally.

In fact, as long as the next day's training and on-court status are not affected, the head coach will not care about it under normal circumstances. After all, this is not the past, and Wenger is not Ferguson.

It is said that after the game against Anderlecht, Wenger was discussing with the coaching staff about making Li Shou the team's free kick.

The current Arsenal lacks players who can score goals stably. Giroud will be injured for several months. Welbeck has only talent, and Podolski has been almost destroyed.

Sanchez performed very well, but not Ronaldo and Messi, Griezmann also performed very well, but Wenger's use of Griezmann does not seem to have fully stimulated the potential of the French, and France needs more trust.

In addition to offensive problems, Arsenal's defense also needs to be resolved, at least they need to buy a defender in the upcoming winter transfer window.

In the choice of defenders, Arsenal's scouting team already has two qualities in front of Wenger. The first is an old acquaintance, the contract defender Van Dijk from the Celtics. In the past summer, Van Dijk had an affair with Arsenal.

But it is a pity that the two sides did not reach a consensus on the transfer fee. Arsenal is unwilling to spend more money, so that Arsenal has no central defenders available.

The second person is from La Liga, the Brazilian central defender Paulista who is currently playing for Villarreal. This Brazilian defender has had scandals with Manchester City and is currently performing quite well in La Liga.

Although the Celtics are a giant in Scotland, the Scottish league is only second-rate after all, while La Liga belongs to the top league. Villarreal is also a frequent visitor to intercontinental competitions, and even Arsenal played against Villarreal in the Champions League.

One just performed well in the second-tier league, and the other has proven himself in the top league. The tendency to choose between the two is already obvious.

Not to mention the opinion of the head coach Wenger, the Arsenal scouting team alone is generally optimistic about Paulista, which can understand why the players signed by Arsenal have become worse and worse over the years.

Arsenal want to get back to the top, the scout team must be reorganized, and even the chief scout can tell him to get out, but unfortunately, Wenger will not do this, and even the Arsenal management will not do this, because they do not know what will happen in the future.

Even Li Shou doesn't know, but Li Shou has a system. He believes that the system recommends the best ones, so if Li Shou knows the discussion of the Arsenal coaching staff, he will definitely let Wenger buy Van Dijk instead of Paulista.

It will take some time to make up the defensive line, and no matter how anxious you are, you still need to wait for the opening of the winter transfer window, but the matter of Li Shou's free kick needs to be resolved immediately.

After a heated discussion, the coaching staff couldn't come up with a reason. In the end, Wenger decided to ask Li Shou to see what he thought.

..................................................................

"Head, my success rate of free kicks is not high now. The previous two goals were due to luck." Li Shou was very calm about this. Although he has practiced more recently and is about to upgrade, even that only increased his success rate by 5.00%.

"But Li, you should be aware of the current difficulties the team is facing. Isn't your practice of free kicks so hard just to help the team when it's difficult?"

In other words, the roles of the two seem to be reversed. Under normal circumstances, shouldn't the head coach hold down the goalkeeper to prevent the other from leaving the goal?
