Chapter 270 Short board and bench
"Hi! Pass the ball!"

"here……"

On the training field of the first team at the Kearney training base, Arsenal stars are running hard on the grass, raising their hands from time to time to ask their teammates for the ball.

Seeing the players so actively preparing for the Champions League match, Wenger on the sidelines once again showed a gratified smile-it is obvious that the consecutive victories have greatly boosted the team's morale.

But after a while, Wenger frowned again.

Following his gaze, it happened that Mu Jianfeng made another mistake in cooperating with his teammates on the court at this time, which caused his side to lose the ball.

Looking at this familiar scene, Wenger shook his head helplessly. After all, the little guy was given too little time, and the running-in with the team was not enough.

Just when Wenger was frowning helplessly, a voice rang in his ear.

"what happened?"

Wenger heard the reputation and found that the team's assistant coach Pat Rice (Note [-]) just appeared next to him, and asked with a puzzled face.

Seeing this, Wenger shook his head and said helplessly:

"It's nothing, maybe I'm too impatient!"

Uncle Mi Fan glanced at the training ground, he seemed to understand a little bit, and comforted him:
"Indeed, you are a little impatient.

After all, the little guy has only just joined the team, and the others have either been together day and night for several years.

Or it has been confirmed that it can adapt to our tactics during the scouting process.

Only he is an exception, I understand your psychology, such a talent can receive the team, you will never give up.

But it's impossible to change tactics for one person, isn't it? "

"Why not?"

Wenger smiled strangely when he heard what Uncle Mi Fan said.

Now it was Uncle Mi Fan's turn to be dazed. He looked at his old partner who had worked with him for many years in surprise. This stubborn old man wanted to change his tactics?
Seeing Uncle Mi Fan's astonished expression, Wenger finally laughed happily!
Uncle Mi Fan felt a little embarrassed when he laughed so much that he restrained his smile and explained:

"Mu's problems have actually been exposed a lot in the last few substitute appearances.

For example, I am more willing to fight my body, for example, the rhythm of my feet is relatively slow, for example, it is not reasonable to handle the ball in the second pass, etc.

These are also areas in our previous training plan that we plan to let him improve slowly in the future.

The reason why his current performance is not bad is that our opponents may not have had time to study him in depth.

However, sooner or later, these shortcomings will be put under a magnifying glass as his playing time increases.

But relatively, his advantages are also what the current Arsenal lacks, such as strong psychological quality, such as the absolute advantage in high-altitude balls when breaking through dense defenses, and so on.

If a set of special tactics can be developed around these, then I believe Arsenal will become more perfect.

It's just that the time left for us is not enough.

Therefore, I arrange most of his appearances as a substitute, or as a right winger to learn and read the game.

However, if we really encounter some extreme situations, why don't we try to make a little change? "

After hearing Wenger's words, Uncle Mi Fan fell into a long silence, and then looked at this energetic wise man with admiration.

This is what he admires the most. Wenger always has the magic power of turning stones into gold. He is not superstitious about a set of tactics like many coaches.

Instead, with the players of the team, different tactics are tried.

He can use the [-] formation of a group of talented players to dominate the Premier League as he did in the undefeated season.

It is also possible to play a strong midfielder like now, to stimulate all the potential of Van Persie, and to use the four-five formation to compete with opponents.

Maybe, he will try three four three in the future?
Who can tell?

But this guy's mind is really too flexible!
……

Mu Jianfeng on the field naturally didn't know that the two coaches on the sidelines were talking about him. At this moment, he just made a mistake and apologized to his teammates with regret.

The mistake just now was actually not all caused by his passing error as it appeared on the surface.

It was because his teammates were not strong enough when passing the ball to him, which helped him make a mistake in his prediction, and he also made a mistake and lost the ball.

It's just that if there is enough tacit understanding with his teammates, maybe he can react in time to avoid mistakes just now.

However, he also discovered that recently in training, his teammates made more and more similar mistakes.

But it's no wonder they are, because the density of Arsenal's games has been too high recently.

Before he came to England, he had heard that the game density here was super high, and he was a little unconcerned at that time.

Because he feels like he can't wait to participate in more games to exercise himself.

But after he really got here, he realized that under the high-intensity game, it was not only the physical fatigue of the players, but also the mental fatigue.

Sometimes, after a game, after a player concentrates on a game, the fatigue from the soul cannot be shaken off.

If you add continuous running around, the taste...

Especially now that they have entered the sprint stage of the second half of the league. After more than half a season of competition, these players can only be said to be gritting their teeth to stand up!
Since entering February, the team has basically played three days in a row, but fortunately, many unnecessary games have sent youth teams and substitutes to participate.

Give the main team a chance to breathe.

Even so, Mu Jianfeng could clearly feel a kind of fatigue from his teammates, and the recent wave of consecutive victories inspired them mentally.

In this way, maybe he can get more chances in the UEFA Champions League three days later?
……

Facts have proved that Mu Jianfeng was thinking too much.

On February 2, four days after the end of the game against Wolves, Arsenal ushered in a strong Champions League opponent Barcelona at their home court!

In this game, Wenger obviously did not dare to try other lineups lightly, and he continued the starting lineup that defeated the Wolves.

As a result, in this game, Barcelona, ​​who played away, took advantage of Villa's goal and established the lead early in the No. 206 minute of the first half.

Since then, Arsenal has just woken up from a dream and launched its own offensive.

As a result, in this game, the young player Wilshere, who started the game, performed amazingly. He boldly held the ball in the midfield and had many confrontations with Barcelona's world-class midfielder Xavi without losing the wind.

There is quite a posture that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers!
But for a long time, Arsenal only gained momentum at home and did not score, while Barcelona, ​​who played away, obviously played more conservatively after scoring away goals.

As the game time gradually passed, the impatient Arsenal was unable to score the equalizing goal, but instead allowed Barcelona to play several very threatening attacks.

If it weren't for their head star Messi's performance in this game was a bit sluggish, and several shots missed the target, maybe Barcelona could advance by relying on this game!

But Wenger was obviously unwilling to fail like this in his bones, so he replaced the defensive midfielder Alexander Song with the Russian "tsar" Arshavin in the No. 70 minute to make a final effort!
Immediately afterwards, when the situation on the field continued to be stalemate, the second substitution quota was used up!
This time he did not replace Mu Jianfeng, but chose Bendtner who cooperated better with the team!
After Bendtner played, he replaced Walcott, who was mediocre in this game.

As a result, just 1 minute after Bendtner came on the field, he assisted with a header to help Van Persie score the equalizer goal!
After completing this assist, Bendtner celebrated wildly with Van Persie as if he had scored a goal himself!
With the recent joining of Mu Jianfeng, he is actually the one with the most pressure!
Mu Jianfeng scored consecutive goals and assisted in the league, recovering points for the team, which made him feel anxious recently.

And with this assist, this pressure has been released!

Afterwards, the morale of Arsenal, which equalized the score, soared, and they continued to attack!
Finally, Arsenal's efforts paid off after 5 minutes!
Arshavin made a decisive cold shot at the front of the penalty area after dribbling the ball from the wing!

Valdez, whose sight was blocked, had no time to react, and the ball crashed into the goal!
In the end, Arsenal beat the mighty Barcelona [-]-[-] at home.

And Mu Jianfeng sat on the bench for the whole game...
