"A very exciting game. Aston Villa did everything they could, but in the end they couldn't overcome the mountain of Arsenal!"

"For Aston Villa, the first 80 minutes were favorable, but they failed to last for the last 10 minutes!"

Andy Gray still appreciates Aston Villa's performance.

Richard nodded and said: "As physical fitness declines, thinking will become rigid and mistakes will increase. What they lack is the key ability in the last ten minutes, but even so, Aston Villa still brought us A great game!”

"But we also want to congratulate Arsenal!"

At this time, the whistle just sounded at the end of the game.

Arsenal defeated Aston Villa 1:0 after 90 minutes of play.

After the game, the Arsenal players breathed a sigh of relief.

It has to be said that this game had many unfavorable factors for them, but at the same time there were some opportunities, but they failed to seize them.

Fortunately, at the last moment, Lucai decided the outcome with one kick.

Based on this goal, Arsenal won a key victory in the EFL Cup semi-finals, and they were able to go to the away game more calmly.

Aston Villa's defense worried them a lot, but their offense was not that threatening.

For this reason, Arsenal has a huge advantage when leading.

After this game, all the events in January are over.

They can enter the next month smoothly. There is still a certain distance before the end of all competitions, and they also need to continue to maintain their form.

After this game, Mourinho gave the players a day off, mainly to let the players rest for an extra day to recover their physical fitness.

The training camp will restart after the holidays.

During this day, Arsenal players hardly went out to play.

They also knew very well what was going on at this time, and under the huge pressure, they couldn't have fun either.

Most people choose to rest at home, while a few choose to run outside to stay in shape.

As for Lucai, he also received a full range of relaxing massage on this day. It was not until the stiffness in his body gradually subsided that he returned to the room to rest.

The next day, Arsenal held training camp again.

There is also good news today, that is, Martinez is back.

Although Buffon defended very well in this short period of time, for Arsenal, Martinez is the main goalkeeper.

Moreover, Martinez's cooperation with the long pass in the frontcourt is also more threatening.

At the same time, Aubameyang also ended his recovery training and officially entered the training camp.

"Hey! Guys, did you miss me?"

Aubameyang looked happy.

He was very active in cooperating with restorative training. He completed his recovery in just over a week and joined the training camp.

Of course, Aubameyang is also very urgent.

As Saka's performance got better and better, he had to make some responses.

He believes that Saka has become a player enough to threaten him.

This guy is no longer the rookie he once ignored, but a true competitor.

After a day of training, Mourinho announced the starting lineup for the next game in advance.

Among them, other positions remain unchanged, with Aubameyang and De Ligt starting.

There was no problem with Aubameyang starting, and after recovering, his performance in training was also very good.

De Ligt started the game, which was a signal.

Mourinho is going to make some changes to the defense.

Although it won't happen immediately, it is clear that De Ligt's performance has won his approval and he has decided to gradually replace Hummels.

After all, Hummels is old. Although he can perform well now, it is unknown how long he can maintain his condition.

At the same time, Mourinho also began to negotiate with Hummels' agent.

They are no longer preparing to sign an overly long contract with Hummels, but a one-year contract.

Hummels would not respond immediately. After all, he still wants to continue to be active in the five major leagues, and Arsenal is obviously starting to prepare to replace him.

Hummels has no complaints about Arsenal's operations.

This is professional football, when values ​​are inconsistent with interests, they will always be sacrificed.

And Hummels is not a player like Lucky who is worthy of Arsenal giving up its so-called interests to support him.

For this reason, in this situation, he had already arrived.

For Hummels, his biggest goal at the moment is to spend this season as the main player. With the blessing of good results, he can have more choices or more financial income when transferring.

The two sides also reached an agreement immediately.

First: This season, Hummels will continue to be the starter, but Arsenal will not implement the contract extension agenda.

Second: Hummels can find a new home during the contract period, but this must not affect Arsenal's competition.

Third: Arsenal will give Hummels a loyalty award.

The third clause is a gimmick that makes it easy to get together and break up.

After all, no one wants to cause such unpleasantness, and the so-called loyalty awards are not particularly generous.

For this reason, both parties readily accepted it.

After completing the contact with Hummels, Mourinho approached Lukaku again.

Yes!

He was going to clean this guy up.

Lukaku performed well in his first season at Arsenal, but with the arrival of Giroud, this guy gradually began to become marginalized.

At the same time, the effect in the lineup is not great.

Instead of keeping it, sell it and make money.

For this reason, Mourinho gave Lukaku two options.

First: Mourinho will provide Lukaku with some game opportunities and ask his teammates to pass the ball to him and score goals for him.

Second: Lukaku voluntarily took a salary cut to stay on the team.

Both options can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

The first one is to sell Lukaku, and sell it at a good price, so we will provide him with playing time, let him score more goals, and sell it at a good price.

With Arsenal's ability now, as long as the opponent is not a pig, there is basically no problem.

As for the second option, Mourinho never thought that Lukaku would choose the second option.

But the accident just happened.

Lukaku really chose the second option. He was willing to cut his salary and stay with the team. As long as the salary cut was not too extreme and made it difficult for him to survive, he was willing to stay.

At that time, Mourinho was stunned. He wanted to open this guy's head to see what he was thinking.

You actually chose the second option?

All this disrupted Mourinho's plans, and in the end, he chose to put it aside and consider it later.

At the same time, the day of Arsenal's away game has arrived.

After a week of inspection and early starting arrangements, these starting players are in significantly better condition and their fighting spirit is even higher.

Especially young players like De Ligt are full of fighting spirit and ready to fight.

After all, in the entire Europe, Arsenal is currently second to none.

Once De Ligt plays at Arsenal, it means the sky is the limit.

Of course, for De Ligt, it is more important for him to win more honors at Arsenal.

During the game, De Ligt's performance was also amazing.

"De Ligt!

A young player from the Netherlands, he completely controlled the sky of Arsenal. Burnley's high ball failed even once. I think Burnley almost hated this young central defender from the Netherlands at this moment! "

Paul Merson couldn't help but sigh: "Since the Netherlands missed a World Cup, their domestic new forces have begun to show up one after another, first it was Liverpool's Van Dijk, and now Arsenal's youngster De Ligt!"

"These two centre-backs will be the backbone of Holland's defense in the future."

On the field, De Ligt also became more confident as he played.

He began to actively direct the layout of the defensive line, and became decisive and calm when playing the ball.

There were even a few extremely penetrating passes, which directly found Giroud in the frontcourt and caused great trouble for Burnley.

De Ligt's performance has also earned him widespread recognition from Arsenal fans, following Saka and Odegaard.

Today's Arsenal fans are very much looking forward to what kind of performance these young people will perform when they grow up and occupy the main position.

How strong will Arsenal become?

Of course, Arsenal is already very strong now.

But who can refuse to become stronger?
