Strong Waist

The training is still going on in an orderly manner. As we enter the second half of the schedule, the intensity of training has decreased. This is to better maintain the state of the game and recover physical fitness.

In addition to training, the players will also have some exchanges about the game.

"The points just can't be separated! Liverpool and Manchester City are so annoying!"

Giroud said a little irritably.

Unlike last season, Arsenal this season does not have such a big advantage in league points. So far, they are still tied with Liverpool on points, and Manchester City is only two points behind.

It can be said that under this situation, Arsenal is still under great pressure in the league.

The gap in points cannot be widened, which means that there is a danger of overturning at any time.

Any defeat could put them directly in third place.

The best situation at present is that Liverpool and Manchester City lose one after another and open up a certain number of points, even three points, which can give them a chance to breathe.

It's really uncomfortable to be so locked in by two teams.

"This is not your first time playing in the Premier League. We are under pressure at this time, and Liverpool and Manchester City are also under pressure. Now it depends on who can withstand the pressure and keep winning!"

Erickson said.

Giroud: "But we still have the Champions League, English League Cup and FA Cup. Are there any competitions that need to be sacrificed? Liverpool and Manchester City, they will definitely sacrifice the FA Cup, the league or the Champions League they want!"

"Our bench can also help us share some of the pressure. Don't think too much about these issues. If you think too much, it will affect your state!"

Lucky advised.

Giroud could only nod.

But judging from his expression, he was still extremely anxious inside.

In fact, this kind of sentiment has spread throughout the Arsenal team. Although many players seem to be indifferent, they may not know how anxious they are in their hearts.

They know that championship is never easy

What's more, their goals for this season are so ambitious.

Although this season, Arsenal have never revealed their goals to the outside world.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that they are going for all the championships.

Currently, there are seven championships that Arsenal can compete for, and now they have won three, with four remaining.

EFL Cup, FA Cup, Premier League and Champions League!

The first two events are less stressful, but based on the bonus from the latter two events, the overall pressure is still very high.

At the same time, the coaching staff is also talking about the next game.

"The next game is the EFL Cup final!"

Mourinho's tone was serious.

Their opponents in the EFL Cup are the same as last season. Manchester City led by Guardiola once again became their opponent on the way to the championship.

Arsenal's undefeated streak was shattered by Manchester City. For this reason, Arsenal needs revenge like Manchester City.

For Manchester City, they will not give up the opportunity to win against Arsenal.

Moreover, both teams have already reached the EFL Cup final, which makes it even more impossible to give up.

Mosquito meat is still meat even when it is small!

Last season, Manchester City spent a season without a championship. For this reason, they are extremely eager for a championship this season, any championship.

For Arsenal, they must defeat Manchester City again.

"I think when facing Manchester City, we should not blindly defend. The last failure was because of this problem. We failed to withstand Manchester City's offensive firepower. This is a problem that the inherent defensive model cannot solve. Manchester City is very Good at finding breakthrough opportunities in small spaces and creating goals at the same time.”

"So, we may need more attacks to create pressure on Manchester City during the forward pressing process, so that they dare not press forward unscrupulously."

Arteta suggested.

Mourinho also pondered this suggestion.

After working together for many seasons, Arteta has become a very good assistant coach.

This excellence is not only reflected in training, but also in some tactical opinions.

Times are advancing, and tactics are constantly changing.

Mourinho knew he needed more advice to promote his tactical innovation.

And Arteta has been a great source of inspiration.

Using offense instead of defense is not a model Mourinho has never played before.

He is not a rigid person. Although he likes to use defensive counterattack tactics, in the end, everything must serve victory.

If he can win, he can definitely develop an offensive tactical style.

As long as he can win, he will not suggest so-called tactical issues.

Arteta's suggestion is indeed very good. After all, the last failure has proved that pure defense cannot limit Manchester City.

Manchester City must feel the pressure, press high, fight for midfield rhythm, fight for the ball, etc.

Arsenal must play more proactively to make Manchester City feel more threatened.

In this way, they can suppress Manchester City's ferocious firepower.

Soon, Mourinho summoned the coaches to start a tactical meeting.

They have to decide on the specific tactics for the EFL Cup semi-finals, and the players will be practicing the new tactics the next day.

The next day, Arsenal began practicing new tactics.

The first thing is to gather the players in the tactics room and start explaining the new tactics.

"Kai, your task in this game is not just to defend, you have to move forward frequently, not only to press, but also to organize series! I will not limit your area, you can move left, right, and horizontally in a wide range Draw space for movement”

Lucky nodded slightly listening to Mourinho's tactics.

He is no stranger to this tactic. During Wenger's coaching period, Lucky played this way.

Absolute core, absolute possession of the ball, etc.

This is equivalent to releasing all restrictions on Lucky so that he is no longer limited to a certain area. Although there will be a danger of losing his position, it also greatly increases Arsenal's control in the midfield and the advancement of the offense. sex.

This time, Mourinho boldly changed his tactical style.

He knew very well that Manchester City knew them very well. For this reason, ordinary tactics really didn't work. They could only make greater changes in order to suppress Manchester City.

At the same time, Manchester City is also conducting tactical drills against Arsenal.

However, after having a successful experience, Manchester City also restricted Arsenal based on this set of tactics.

After all, this set of tactics is currently the most useful.

At this time, Manchester City's players were also in high spirits.

Since defeating Arsenal, the frustration and haze in their hearts have disappeared, and their fear of Arsenal is no longer there.

They think they will perform even better in this EFL Cup final.

In this atmosphere, the EFL Cup final is gradually approaching.

On February 25, still at Wembley Stadium in London, the 2019/2020 English League Cup final is about to take place.

On this day, a large number of Arsenal and Manchester City fans were welcomed.

These are the fans who came to witness the team's championship moment.

Especially for Manchester City fans, after experiencing a championship-less season, their desire for the championship is extremely hot.

For this reason, they will not let go of this opportunity.

In addition, they have defeated Arsenal before, so they believe that this victory also belongs to Manchester City.

As for Arsenal fans, they are still full of confidence.

Arsenal's performance is obvious to all. Although they lost to Manchester City, they only lost to Manchester City.

That failure was an accident!

That's what Arsenal think.

Arsenal will not lose if the game is played again.

This is the fans' strong confidence in the home team.

After all, Arsenal's major players are beginning to return one after another, and their lineup has become even more powerful.

Although Manchester City is a very dangerous opponent, Arsenal is more powerful.

London Bridge leading to Wembley Stadium has been lit up.

On the LED screen at the exit, there is even a message saying 'This leads to Wembley Stadium! ’, with the words ‘Arsenal VS Manchester City’ dropped.

The honking of vehicles, the cheers of fans and the singing filling the sky all around.

All of this will make tonight extremely hot.

Although London has entered winter, there is a feeling of heat in the entire Wembley Stadium.

This is an atmosphere heightened by the heat emitted by thousands of people shouting.

This is Wembley Stadium!

This is the stage for the EFL Cup final!
