This teenager is a bit aggressive

Chapter 112 Adjustment
Wenger looked at a group of Arsenal players who were not motivated, and he realized that the first thing he needed to solve was the morale problem.

If the morale problem is not resolved, it is nonsense to talk about tactical intentions.

So Wenger called all the Arsenal players over and sat down in a circle.

Wenger generally doesn't say too much to encourage the players before the game. He believes in his players. In many cases, he tends to allow the players to play by themselves, unless there is a big problem.

This time, he had to speak, so he said:
"Tonight, at the London Hotel, I invite you to dinner."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was unexpected, Park Yisheng opened his mouth wide in surprise, but couldn't close his mouth, his eldest cousin Fabregas held Park's chin and closed his mouth.

Shouldn't Wenger go crazy after losing the FA Cup?Besides, everyone knew that the current atmosphere in the Arsenal team was very bad, the players were all downcast, and Wenger didn't care about morale, yet he still wanted to treat guests to dinner.

Wenger then said mysteriously:

"You can drink a little wine tonight!"

As soon as this remark came out, the players of the Arsenal team were blown away. Most of them had been holding back for more than half a month. When they heard Wenger's words, they had already started to swallow their saliva.

Since the Arsenal club issued a pre-match alcohol ban, no one dared to set a precedent, and no one wanted to be shot.

Now that Wenger has let go, there is nothing to dare. The big cousin Fabregas is also a drunkard, so he can take a sip when he has nothing to do.

After hearing Wenger's words, Fabregas put his arms around Pu Yisheng who was sitting next to him and shook him vigorously a few times. Seeing the excitement, he looked like he was about to be released from prison.

Park Yisheng hurriedly said:

"Wait, you got excited with a hammer, there must be but..."

Sure enough, Wenger went on to say:

"You can drink, but first, you can't drink too much. Second, after this meal, you must prepare well for me and fight Barcelona with all your strength. If you don't try your best, I'd like to see Do you still dare to go back to the Kearney training base after the game? If you don’t believe me, try it.”

This is Wenger's typical use of alcohol to boost morale. Park has been dumbfounded all his life, and there is such a coquettish operation to boost morale.

In fact, this is Wenger's helpless move. The big game is coming soon. Telling the players how we can't afford to lose this game will only bring more pressure to the players. There is no way, Wenger came up with this Ways to boost morale.

Wenger believes that as long as it can improve morale, why bother what he does?A method that can improve morale is a good method, but this method is a bit expensive, and Wenger is about to bleed.

When the wine is mentioned, the players are excited, and the training suddenly becomes more active.

Wenger also made Arsenal's tactical arrangements based on his research on Barcelona.

Before the start of the training match, the first thing Wenger had to determine was Arsenal's formation and starting list for the Champions League final.

This time, Wenger does not intend to use the classic 4-4-2 formation that Arsenal rely on for survival. He is going to play a single striker formation.

Single striker!
Single striker formations are extremely rare in football. In current international football, double strikers are almost the standard for most teams. Some wealthy clubs directly play three strikers.

Wenger wanted to play a lone striker for three main reasons.

First, the Barcelona team must have studied Arsenal's 4-4-2 formation and routines. If they play 4-4-2 again, the Barcelona team must have been prepared. Besides, didn't the media say that he doesn't know how to be flexible?He also wants the media to see his flexibility.

Second, this season Henry the Great and Robin van Persie's double forwards can't achieve the effect of Henry and Bergkamp's double forwards. Moreover, Van Persie's state has not been very good recently.

Third, when playing against a team like Barcelona that focuses on pass-and-control football, the midfielder is very important. The removal of a striker is mainly to supplement the midfielder.

Single striker lineup, then, there is no doubt that Arsenal's single striker is none other than Henry the Great.

As a result, Wenger launched the starting lineup against Barcelona.

Goalkeeper: Lehmann

Centre-backs: Campbell, Toure
Left back: Ashley Cole

Right back: Aibo

Defenders: Gilberto Silva, Cesc Fabregas
Left Midfielder: Park Il-seng

Right Midfielder: Ljungberg
Attacking midfielder: Hleb
Forward: Henry

This is a 4-5-1 formation, a very strange formation, the midfielder Gilberto Silva, Fabregas and Hleb form a triangle, Hleb is forward, more like a shadow striker , Similar to Manchester United's Scholes position.

Gilberto Silva, a Brazilian midfielder, one of the creators of Arsenal's unbeaten record in the 03-04 season, and Arsenal's main midfielder.

It has been a while since Gilberto Silva returned to the team from injury. During this time, Wenger has not used him because he has just resumed training after returning to the team, and his state is not very ideal.

After a period of restorative training, Gilberto Silva's competitive state has returned. Originally, Wenger had planned to use him a long time ago. However, this season's Arsenal team is blooming in the third line. The lineup is very stable and the results are also very good. Okay, so, Wenger kept Gilberto Silva on the bench.

Judging from the FA Cup match, Arsenal's problem is the lack of midfield control and frequent mistakes. Therefore, facing the Champions League final, Wenger had to use Gilberto Silva.

After Vieira left, Gilberto Silva has the most outstanding defensive ability in the midfield. Facing the Barcelona team, without him in the midfield, Wenger is always worried.

Therefore, Gilberto Silva's starting also gave Wenger more confidence against Barcelona.

Secondly, Park Yisheng returned to the left position because of Pires.

Under normal circumstances, FIFA rules stipulate that a player will be suspended for one game if he accumulates two yellow cards in different games.

This is only for matches held with FIFA, and different competitions have different regulations on yellow cards.

For example, in the Premier League, four yellow cards are required to be suspended for one game, while in the Champions League, three yellow cards are required to be suspended for one game.

Pires has accumulated three yellow cards in the UEFA Champions League, so he missed the Champions League final, and because of Pires' absence, Park Yisheng changed from the right side to Pires' position.

After Wenger adjusted the lineup, the four-day training began.
