My light shines on Arsenal

Chapter 35
Before the life-and-death battle against Marseille in the Champions League group qualifying, Arsenal still has a league game.They will face Chelsea led by Villas-Boas.

Since Abrahimovic took over Chelsea, he has thrown gold dollars, making Chelsea the pioneer of gold dollar football.

The Russian wealthy businessman's pursuit of honor is as powerful as his ability to spend money, but his patience is exactly the opposite of the above two.

Few coaches can continue to work at Chelsea for many years. When Abramovich found that the coach could not bring him the championship immediately, he would not hesitate to fire the coach.

In the coaching changes again and again, it is Boas, known as the "small madman", who is now on the coaching bench.

However, Villas-Boas's experience at Chelsea can hardly be called a smooth one. Compared with the great success of the Manchester duo, Chelsea seems to be gradually being thrown away.

Boas is under a lot of pressure, so he is more and more inclined to increase the offensive end, hoping that Chelsea can effectively solve the opponent.

Unfortunately, Chelsea may never be suitable for such a thing...

On October 29, Chelsea lost to Arsenal [-]-[-].

Arsenal's defense has maintained a consistent performance of being riddled with holes, and Chelsea's passionate attack has also stretched its defense to a level similar to Arsenal's.

In the end, in an undefended attacking battle, Arsene Wenger made a move and led the team to victory over Chelsea.

In this way, Arsenal finally stabilized its points in the top half of the standings after two months of hesitation.

And Chelsea is gradually showing its decline. It seems that Boas is getting closer and closer to the end of get out of class...

The recovery of Arsenal's state has stabilized their record in the league.

But what Chen Yao focused on was not the league.

After Wenger gave him the command of the cup, Chen Yao's most important task right now is to get Arsenal out of the Champions League group stage.

For Arsenal, the Champions League is not a must-win trophy.They simply do not have the ability to hit the Champions League record this season.

As for the benefits of qualifying, on the one hand, it is Arsenal's record of advancing to the knockout rounds for many years. This can be said to be a major reason why Arsenal can barely be recognized as a giant despite their embarrassing record in recent years.

On the other hand, if you advance to the Champions League knockout round, you will also have a bonus income and broadcast fee income.Arsenal are now reluctant to waste a pound.

Of course, more importantly, this is also a stage for Chen Yao to prove his ability.

This is the stage for top intercontinental competitions.

Arsenal's next three opponents are Marseille, Borussia Dortmund and Olympiacos.

If you want to advance, you have no choice but to win all three games.

Olympiacos is relatively weak, but Marseille and Dortmund have performed well in their respective domestic leagues.

Especially Dortmund, led by rock enthusiast Jurgen Klopp, who focuses on the explosive rock football and youth storm, defeated Bayern last season and won the Bundesliga championship.

Dortmund is also in hot form this season and is bound to win the defending Bundesliga title.

And Klopp is undoubtedly the leader of the next era.His high post pressure and pursuit of impact made his team full of enthusiasm and energy.

It will be a huge challenge to play against such a head coach.

Moreover, the factor that restricts Arsenal is that they cannot give up the league to focus on the Champions League.

Therefore, Chen Yao can only use limited player resources to deal with the opponents in the Champions League.

……

Kearney training base.

"Coach, is this...a little too much?"

Jorginho did not train with the first team. Together with Zaha, Verratti, Carvajal and Gibbs, he was dragged to the side field by Chen Yao to start a small game.

But now, after knowing what the coach asked him to do, Jorginho is in trouble.

Chen Yao asked his subordinates to divide the field into many grids. He asked Jorginho to stand in a few grids between the center circle and his own penalty area, and pass a long pass forward.

Chen Yao marked out several specific squares and asked Jorginho to pass the ball into these squares.

"I'm not good at long-distance passing. Coach, you understand me..."

Jorginho scratched his head, looking helpless.

"Of course I understand you, Joao. But this is the task, you have to develop your ability to pass long balls. Well, there are some technical details, but let's start with accuracy."

Chen Yao patted Jorginho on the shoulder, and stood on the sidelines with his arms folded, looking at Jorginho with a bitter face.

Of course he knows that Jorginho is characterized by a broad vision, excellent golf quotient and overall view, as well as delicate short passing skills.

His most suitable role is a metronome in the midfield and a hub for the backcourt.

For Jorginho, long-pass dispatching, at least for now, is not a skill he is good at.

But Chen Yao planned to make good use of his badge ability.

Through short-term high-intensity special training and at least a 50% training bonus brought by superimposing badges, he hopes to make Jorginho a decent long passer.

He doesn't need to reach the master level, as long as he can use it.

Jorginho began to train his long pass with a bitter face, and Chen Yao called Zaha over again.

"Wilfred, your task is to catch Joao's long pass. You must improve your touch accuracy and not let the ball leave the area drawn on the ground after the first touch."

Chen Yao patted Zaha's head and encouraged him.

Zaha looked at the distance between Jorginho's kick-off point and his own catch, and wanted to cry without tears.

"Coach, you don't know the difficulty..."

Of course Chen Yao knew the difficulty.Even if many players are in their 30s and [-]s, they still can't make the first touch of the ball delicate.Catching the ball is the detail that best reveals a player's technical level.

Zaha is not known for his delicate skills. Now, the 19-year-old Zaha is best at accelerating blasting and long-distance running.

But if you want to evolve into a top winger, touch, dribbling, rhythm, vision, and small space skills are all indispensable.

Others can be practiced slowly, but now Chen Yao will use the method of special training Jorginho to accelerate Zaha's growth.

Then, he called Verratti over again.

Chen Yao took a look at Verratti. He was less than 1.7 meters tall and had a thick head and a tiger head. However, during his time in England, Verratti's physical fitness seemed to be better.

Although Verratti looks like a small man, his confrontational talent is actually not bad at all.His height may restrict his development and provide opponents with a weakness in fixed-point strikes, but for now, there is no need to worry about this.

"Marco, I admire your talent for dribbling the ball. Now, I want to ask you a question: Do you have the confidence to bring the ball out when you are faced with a tough siege by two or three people?"

Chen Yao asked.

Verratti frowned and thought about it, and was about to speak when Chen Yao waved his hand again and called Carvajal over.

"Daniel, let me tell you the answer to this question: Marco can't, but he needs to do it as much as possible. But now Marco doesn't have this ability, so I need you to help him."

Chen Yao called the two people aside and gave instructions on various areas of the backcourt. Similarly, they needed to grow and learn quickly.

Finally, Chen Yao waved and called Kieran Gibbs over.

"Kiran, what I want you to do next is something you are familiar with but unfamiliar..."

Next to the training ground of the first team, Chen Yao led his young players to train busy and quietly.

This is Chen Yao's secret weapon for the upcoming competition.

　Weakly communicate something with everyone.

　　This book will inevitably involve a lot of tactical related plot.

　　But tactics... everyone's understanding will be biased, and some readers may think that what is written is acceptable, and some readers think it is off the mark.

　　Therefore, I sincerely hope that everyone will look at the relevant plots from the perspective of reading rather than scrutiny.

　　I'll also try to avoid obvious poison spots.

　　Cool frequency cool book is not easy, I hope everyone can get pleasure from the text is the most important thing.

　　thank you all.
