My light shines on Arsenal

Chapter 151 Nothing to worry about

After the game, Klopp came over and shook hands with Chen Yao.

The bearded German's handshake was firm but brief.

After it was over, Klopp walked away without looking back. He was not interested in saying a word to Chen Yao.

Chen Yao didn't take it seriously. He knew that Klopp was currently thinking about how to defend the Bundesliga title and how to compete for the Champions League. Moreover, the German had always been conceited.

He doesn't take interest in a team that loses to him, that's how he always has been.

Chen Yao walked into the visiting team's locker room.

The conditions in the visiting team's locker room at Signal Iduna Park are not good. In fact, the visiting team's locker room in most stadiums is like this.

This is also part of the game. Although some people may think it is unsportsmanlike, but within the scope allowed by the rules, there is nothing wrong with gaining more chips for victory.

The atmosphere in the locker room was solemn and quiet, with only a few players whispering in hushed tones.

Seeing Chen Yao come in, the players raised their heads.

"Sorry, coach, we messed up," Marco Verratti said frustratedly.

"I..." Aaron Ramsey lowered his head in embarrassment, a trace of pain flashed across the Welshman's handsome face, "I'm sorry, coach, I know I didn't play well."

Jamie Vardy was not as frustrated as Ramsey and Verratti. On the contrary, his hair stood up wetly and he was shaking all over.

"Coach, I, I just played a Champions League game..." Vardy's voice stammered, "I can't believe I actually played a Champions League game..."

"Keep calm, Jamie, you can still play many more Champions League games." Lillo said expressionlessly on one side.

"Okay, okay, I'm just too excited..." Vardy wiped his face, still thinking about past games.

Two months ago he was still a player in England's second division, and now he can actually stand in the Champions League.

"Boys." Chen Yao clapped his hands, "Don't lower your head, look at me. You have done a very good job - our opponent is Dortmund. This year, in 2012, I can say that Dortmund is the best in Europe. one of the teams."

"It's not a shame to lose to them, we can always win back. I think everyone has seen that our tactics are very similar to Dortmund's. For example, we both like to press at the front of the opponent's penalty area."

"Then why can Dortmund beat us? Where are the top teams in Europe ahead of us? This is a question that Juan and I and Dennis have to think about, and it is also a question that you have to think about."

"Other than that, it's just a group match and there's nothing to worry about."

……

At the post-match press conference, Chen Yao seemed not to be greatly affected.

"Mr. Coach," a reporter asked, "your team lost to Dortmund without scoring a single goal in the away game - do you think this will affect the team's morale? Will your fans be disappointed?"

"My team knows how to deal with losing." Chen Yao shrugged. "If you pay attention to our games, you will find that we have been losing throughout August and half of September."

There was a burst of laughter from the press box. "But what does it matter? We have won three games in a row in the Premier League and we are getting better and better. I commend Mr Klopp, he is a great coach and Dortmund are a great team, they are Its performance is among the best in Europe."

"Mr. Coach, it seems you are still a little unconvinced." The reporter smiled.

"No coach will accept failure willingly." Chen Yao smiled, "Mr. Klopp should be careful the next time he faces us."

Arsenal rushed back to the UK overnight after finishing their trip to Germany.The schedule of the game is very tight. They will play an away game in the seventh round of the Premier League 48 hours later.

Two-line operations are a burden for this young team. Many of their players lack experience in intercontinental competitions and do not know how to reasonably allocate physical fitness.

This is also the reason why Chen Yao has made extensive rotations in the Champions League. If the main lineup continues, he is worried that the physical fitness of these players will be exhausted early.

In the seventh round of the Premier League, Arsenal faced West Ham away from home.

In this game, Arsenal changed back to the regular main lineup of the league, and the players who cooperated with each other with increasing understanding returned to the starting lineup.

Chen Yao soon felt that the team's performance had improved. The sluggishness, staggering and lack of understanding in the last Champions League game disappeared. They quickly suppressed West Ham in the away game.

As soon as the game started, Arsenal increased the pace of the game.

The "Hammers" are not used to the pressing that occurs near their own penalty area. Their response is the same as other Premier League teams, which is to drive the ball far away and hope that the forwards can handle their long passes.

But Chen Yao specially made arrangements for this situation. Arsenal players attach great importance to the competition for one-point and two-point kicks. They know that it is difficult for the opponent to control the ball in the backcourt, and the high point of West Ham in the frontcourt is nothing more than A solitary striker.

The Gunners' defenders defended the defense flawlessly. Every long pass from West Ham would be pushed away by an Arsenal player who had judged the position well in advance.

West Ham's long pass to instigate an offensive was in vain.

In the frontcourt, Arsenal's gorgeous offensive dance music played again.

In the 18th minute, Arteta sent the ball to Cazorla's feet.

The Spanish attacking midfielder was very comfortable in Arsenal's tactical system. He took the ball in the left rib and passed the attacking midfielder of West Ham.

West Ham's players were like clumsy orangutans in front of Arsenal's players. They were physically strong, but technically rough and slow to respond to the Gunners' movements.

After Cazorla caught the ball in the left rib, Giroud turned over and leaned against a West Ham defender as always. Midfielder Jorginho stepped in to provide a point for the ball, and Walcott cut inside without the ball on the right. Disrupting West Ham's defence.

Arsenal's dazzling movement was displayed in an increasingly faster and more skillful way, and West Ham's back line was constantly being stretched and retreated.

After Cazorla dunked West Ham United's midfielder and dribbled the ball forward, Griezmann ran a circle without the ball from behind the offside line and cut to an unmarked position.

At this point, West Ham's backline was in disarray, just like countless of Arsenal's opponents.

Cazorla broke into the penalty area and passed the ball diagonally to the far end of the goal post. Walcott came flying, took the ball with his right foot, went to the left and fired a low ball in front of the goal.

The ball rolled into the goal without any suspense. There were four or five Arsenal players in West Ham's penalty area. Arsenal boldly invested its troops to wreak havoc in the opponent's penalty area.
