Chapter 284 Core!

Standing at the window, watching Raiola slowly walking towards the parking lot, Wenger sighed, then turned and walked out of his office, walking towards Pat Rice's office.

……

"What? You promised?"

After listening to Wenger's words, Pat Rice looked at his old partner in surprise.

You know, Wenger is definitely a stubborn old man in his impression, and it is basically impossible for him to compromise.

And today, he actually told him that he agreed to Raiola's request!

This simply made Pat Rice wonder if his ear was broken, or was the old partner in front of him replaced?

Seeing Pat Rice's expression of embarrassment, Wenger shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile:
"Don't be so surprised, okay, it makes me look like a weird old man!"

Pat Rice secretly complained in his heart, in some respects, Wenger is indeed "weird" enough.

However, he still asked a little strangely:

"Why did you agree to him?
Although Mu's performance is not bad, but Robin's status is unquestionable. Unless he himself is plagued by injuries again, the possibility of Mu being the core in the short term...

Or have you found a solution for them to coexist? "

It can't be said that Pat Rice is strange. In fact, for Mu Jianfeng, who broke the team's record transfer, how could they be willing to let him sit on the bench like this?
After all, this is a European Golden Boot in his early 20s who defeated many competitors and finally got into his arms!

It's just that Van Persie's sudden outbreak, their coaching staff really can't take down Van Persie who is in such a good state, and other players on the team will be dissatisfied.

And once Van Persie firmly occupies the center position, it will be difficult for Mu Jianfeng, who appears in other positions, to occupy a place in the current Arsenal.

They also tried to talk about how to make the two coexist, but Mu Jianfeng, as a center forward, although he has a certain ability to handle the ball, basically he passes the ball relatively simple.

Although it is simple and efficient, it is too easy to be targeted.

For this reason, they also had a private conversation with Van Persie, hoping that Van Persie would take on the supporting work to a certain extent, but Van Persie clearly refused.

Therefore, this matter never continued.

But today, Wenger actually told himself that he had agreed to Raiola's request to ensure Mu Jianfeng's starting position?
Looking at Pat Rice, who rarely lost his composure, Wenger smiled, and then said helplessly:

"Isn't this here to discuss with you?"

"what?"

Pat Rice almost jumped up, you have already agreed to others, and now you are asking me to discuss it?
But at the next moment, seeing Wenger's full confidence, Pat Rice put away his surprise, rolled his eyes, and said angrily;

"Tell me what you think first!"

Seeing the appearance of his old partner, Wenger couldn't help laughing, but he still said seriously:
"I have an idea, you can help me refer to it."

"Well, you said."

Seeing Wenger's serious expression, Pat Rice put away his jokes and said seriously.

"Is such that……"

Wenger said thoughtfully:
"In the game against Barcelona, ​​if it wasn't for Mu, we would have been eliminated.

That's okay, right? "

It’s a good thing they are partners who have worked together for many years. Hearing what Wenger said, Pat Rice vaguely guessed what he was thinking, so he nodded and asked:
"so?"

Wenger continued to think carefully and said:
"So, I want to use Mu as the core of the starting attack in the Champions League in future games.

And Robin focuses on the league, so that the two can serve as double insurance on both lines.

Once one person is injured or absent, the other can be replaced at any time, which can also ensure the state of the game.

What do you think? "

Hearing what Wenger said was as expected, Pat Rice nodded slightly and continued to add:
"It is indeed a method.

Robin just happened to be suspended and unable to play in the next Champions League game.

And the state in the league is so good.

It's just that Robin is so proud, do you have any objections?

In addition, will other players on the team isolate Mu in the game? "

Hearing what Pat Rice said, Wenger smiled and said;
"I'll talk to Robin.

In addition, I believe that these young people will not have any unprofessional behavior.

Is there anything else to add? "

Pat Rice pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke;
"It's really a good solution.

Otherwise, conflicts will break out sooner or later because of the opportunity to play.

But I suggest, don't tell them directly that one person is responsible for one line.

Instead, tell them that this is only a temporary arrangement. Once each of them does not perform so well in the game, they may be replaced by another person at any time.

This will create some pressure on them, pay attention to adjusting the relationship between the two during normal training, and maintain a good competitive atmosphere, which will also help motivate them. "

Hearing this, all the gloom on Wenger's face dissipated immediately, and a smile appeared again:

"Okay, let's do it!"

……

When Mu Jianfeng rejoined training in the afternoon, the atmosphere in the team was still a bit weird.

To be honest, this made Mu Jianfeng feel a little helpless.

After all, if any football player wants to succeed, he cannot do without the support of the locker room.

Otherwise, you have nothing to do, and you have nothing to do when you meet a teammate who doesn't pass the ball to you.

And just when other players also noticed this strangeness, and had some vague intentions to follow, Wenger suddenly called Van Persie to talk!
Half an hour later, when Van Persie returned to the team, he looked at Mu Jianfeng with a strange look, which made Mu Jianfeng very puzzled.

Later, Mu Jianfeng was also notified to go to Wenger's office to talk...

As a result, ten minutes later, Mu Jianfeng came out of Wenger's office in a daze.

At this time, he also understood why Van Persie looked at him with that strange look.

Maybe he thought it was him and the coach who made the request?

But God assured, he really didn't ask the professor for anything, and he wasn't at a loss either!
And the other first-team players who were a little confused also tasted what happened in the training game later!
In this in-team training match, Mu Jianfeng first acted as the starting striker of the substitute side to fight against the team's main defender as usual.

But halfway through the game, under the somewhat surprised gazes of the crowd, Van Persie and Mu Jianfeng exchanged vests, and Mu Jianfeng turned out to be the center forward of the main team!

And not only that, the members of the coaching staff also specially explained the new tactics and new coordination!

For this reason, the starting main team has also made many personnel adjustments!

Afterwards, when everyone was skeptical, they discovered to their surprise that this tactic had unimaginable power after possessing Mu Jianfeng, a powerful center forward!
This made the players who had some complaints before gradually lose their opinions.

After all, professional players often look at their strength. As long as they have enough strength, they can get enough recognition.

Later, Wenger even announced in front of all the players that Van Persie and Mu Jianfeng would serve as the team's starting center in the Premier League and the Champions League respectively!
This made many players feel a little surprised, but faintly felt that it was taken for granted.

And this scene made Van Persie feel obvious pressure, he urgently needs himself to become better!
