legendary midfielder

Chapter 283 Arsenal's Asia Tour
"Beep!"

With a whistle, Wenger walked into the stadium, signaled the game to be suspended, and called everyone in front of him.

"Okay, the game is suspended, we have to adjust, otherwise the guys in the main team will definitely not be able to sleep tonight!" Wenger said with a smile: "Zhang, you join the main team. No objection!"

Wenger stopped the substitute's protest with a smile, and continued: "Anyway, you have already scored three goals. You have won this confrontation drill! Now let's enter the formal team formation drill."

Then, he took the tactical board from the assistant coach, drew a simple formation on it, and said: "Next, the main team will change to a 3-2-3-2 formation. The three defenders are Vermaelen, Koscielny, and Sagna; the defensive midfielders are Arteta and Zhang. Zhang plays the organizational midfielder at the front, and Arteta plays the defensive midfielder; the front three are Ramsey, Wilshere and Rosicky, and the forwards are Giroud and Walcott."

"There are several aspects to pay attention to in this formation, first and second." Wenger patiently explained to each player the points that need attention in this formation, as well as the tactical changes in various situations

Finally, he looked around for a week and said seriously:
"Attention, everyone takes Zhang as the core and obeys Zhang's command and arrangement! No matter right or wrong! Remember? Alright, let's rest and get ready to start!"

After finishing speaking, Wenger waved his hand and asked the players to take a rest and prepare for the next game.

"Uh uh, coach, what about us? What should we do?" At this time, Podolski, who was on the bench, asked helplessly, spreading his hands.

"You guys? Oh oh, I almost forgot! You guys still play in a 4-4-2 formation, the personnel are arranged like this, and the forwards are still you and Chamberlain." Wenger smiled, and then arranged the substitute lineup.

Everyone came to the side of the training field, rested, and drank water to replenish water.

"Zhang, you were so fierce just now! You are worthy of being the assist king of La Liga!" At this time, Walcott came to Zhang Xu's side, sat down on the ground, and gave Zhang Xu a thumbs up.

"Haha, Walcott, are you going through the back door with the future assist king of the Premier League?" Ramsey couldn't help laughing when he saw Walcott's almost flattering expression.

"Get out! What about the teammates of a team, do you still need to go through the back door? I am cultivating a tacit understanding among teammates, understand?" Walcott shouted confidently without any embarrassment of being called out.

"Hey, Zhang still needs to cultivate a tacit understanding? Haven't you seen how tacit and seamless he cooperates with the teammate on the bench?" Ramsey scoffed at Walcott's statement, and then he asked curiously: "Speaking of cooperation, I'm really curious, Zhang, how do I feel that you and the team have played for at least one season? This feeling is really strange!"

"That's right, tell me, Zhang, do you have any secrets?" Rosicky next to him couldn't help but leaned over and asked seriously.

Rosicky is also considered a veteran of Arsenal, and it is the first time he has seen someone like Zhang Xu who can cooperate seamlessly with the team as soon as he comes up.

"Ugh, there's really no secret, just pay attention to observation, and then judge accurately!" Zhang Xu smiled wryly, he could only answer the questions of his teammates in such a vague way.You can't say that you have cooperated with them countless times in the simulation training.

"Is it really that simple?" Everyone asked curiously.

"It's really like this!" Zhang Xu could only insist on this reason and not relax.

"Well, I finally understand why they always like to call you the miraculous Chinese zhang. It's really miraculous, and this can work! It's really amazing!" Arteta praised from the bottom of his heart.

For this, Zhang Xu could only smile wryly.

"Beep!" The break time is over, and the tactical confrontation drill continues.

When Zhang Xu joined the main team, the original main players suddenly felt different.

Not only the defensive pressure has been reduced, but the offense is also smooth and smooth, and even the midfield organization has become as easy as lifting weights, without hindrance!

Moreover, because he has so many powerful teammates helping him, Zhang Xu has a stronger control over the game.Soon, in less than 3 minutes, the rhythm of the game was controlled by Zhang Xu, and it entered Zhang Xu's time again.

At this time, Vermaelen and Wilshere really felt Zhang Xu's unique temperament.

They have seen this kind of temperament before, but they can only be seen on the world's superstars, such as Zidane, Kaka at the peak, Pirlo, etc., but they saw it in the 22-year-old Chinese Zhang today!
Maybe this kind of temperament is not very obvious or complete, but it can already affect the teammates around him, so that every player who sees him can't help but feel a sense of convincing!

This kind of temperament exudes this unique charm, which can attract every member of the team tightly to his side, and then gather all the players together to form a powerful whole!

Now, the players on the main team finally understand the feelings of the substitute team!
Such a Chinese zhang is really too powerful!Powerful to the point of inhumanity!Well, perhaps Martian, interstellar monster, etc. are the most accurate definitions of him.

So, with the help of the Martian Zhang Xu, the main team finally found the feeling they had when facing the substitute team.

In less than 10 minutes, four goals!

Tiger Walcott scored twice, Wilshere volleyed after receiving a wonderful pass from Zhang Xu, and Zhang Xu scored a successful header after receiving a cross from Wilshere!

The main team finally let out a sigh of relief and defeated the substitute with a score of 4:3!

Wenger is very satisfied with the results of the tactical drill. In his opinion, he has found the correct way to use Zhang Xu, and also found the most suitable formation and tactics for the team.

However, both Arteta and Rosicky are 30 years old, and they will definitely not be able to support the entire season. Perhaps, another player who can replace them should be found. In this case, this season, his own Arsenal will be a strong contender for various championships!
So who to look for?In fact, Wenger already had a candidate in his mind, so he waited for the other party to nod. However, he can do the preliminary work through his teammates of the national team in advance!

Of course, these are the next steps. The most important thing now is to prepare for the trip to Asia.

Arsenal's Asian tour this year was originally planned to be three stops: Indonesia, Vietnam and Japan, playing four games, including two games in Japan.

However, after Zhang Xu joined, Wenger adjusted the itinerary of his Asian tour. After getting in touch with a certain organization in China, he shortened the itinerary in Japan and increased the itinerary to China. He will play a friendly match with Guangzhou Hengda.

On July 2013, 7, Zhang Xu boarded the flight to Indonesia with the team.

However, what surprised Zhang Xu was that there was an oriental face among the players who accompanied the team to Asia this time.

Out of curiosity, he asked his teammates and found out that this was the Ryo Miyaichi that Wenger dug out from Japan.

Japanese?Zhang Xu couldn't help snorting in his heart, full of dislike.

However, the other party was quite sensible, walked up to Zhang Xu, saluted respectfully, and said, "Hello, captain, please take care of me!"

Zhang Xu replied lightly, "Well, good!" He stopped talking to the other party and continued to laugh and play with his teammates.

The next morning, the Arsenal team arrived in Jakarta and was warmly welcomed by the Indonesian Football Association and fans.

Faced with the enthusiastic pursuit of these Indonesian fans, Arsenal was not polite at all. On the third day, that is, in the friendly match on July 7, they scored 14-[-] in a direct score of [-]-[-]!
In this game, Zhang Xu has been sitting on the bench, not bothering to move at all. In such a low-intensity game, Wenger really felt that playing Zhang Xu was a bit too bullying, so he kept calling Zhang Xu by his side and analyzed the team's formation and tactics with Zhang Xu from time to time.

That's right, since he discovered that Zhang Xu has a very keen observation and judgment on tactics, Wenger likes to discuss with Zhang Xu and even study the team's formation and tactics when he has nothing to do.

On the one hand, Wenger really wanted to hear Zhang Xu's own thoughts and suggestions, on the other hand, he also wanted to train Zhang Xu.In Wenger's view, if Zhang Xu is trained well, it is equivalent to arranging a head coach on the court!

The head coach on the court and the head coach off the court are not the same concept at all!The role played is also different!In a sense, the head coach on the court is often more important than the head coach off the court!
Although Zhang Xu didn't play, many shots were aimed at this Chinese zhang who could talk to Wenger.

After the game against Indonesia, the team diverted to Vietnam.

On July 7, Arsenal played against the Vietnamese national team.

Another slaughter! 7:1!

Although they won the ball, Vietnam scored a goal in the end, which made Wenger quite annoyed. He severely criticized every player in the back line!
Of course, Zhang Xu was not included, because he still did not play in this game.

On July 7, the Arsenal team moved to the third stop - Japan.

In Tokyo, Japan, the Arsenal team was warmly welcomed by the Japanese fans, especially those Japanese female fans, who rushed towards the Arsenal players frantically, with the momentum of eating them alive if they disagreed.

Compared with other players, Zhang Xu has received slightly less attention. After all, Zhang Xu has just joined Arsenal, and many Japanese fans are not familiar with him at all.

On July 7, Arsenal faced the Nagoya Whales at the Toyota Stadium.

In this match, Zhang Xu took the initiative to challenge!
