Strong Waist

As Christmas approaches, Arsenal fans are not in a good mood.

In the past few games, Arsenal's form has been up and down, and it has not been stable.

They can beat West Brom 4-0 away, but also lose 2-0 at home to Swansea.

In the fourteenth round, Everton 1-1 Arsenal.

In the fifteenth round, Arsenal 0-2 Swansea.

In the sixteenth round, West Brom 0-4 Arsenal.

In the seventeenth round, Reading 2-5 Arsenal.

In the eighteenth round, Wigan Athletic 0-1 Arsenal.

After the fifth round, Arsenal had 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. The overall state winning percentage looks good, but the problem of the ups and downs of the state is extremely serious.

In the absence of Cazorla and Wilshere, Arsenal's midfield ushered in a huge challenge.

Arteta was forced to carry all the pressure.

But Arteta's performance was not enough to fill Cazorla's vacancy, and even the defense of Lucky and Ramsey running behind and breaking their legs couldn't fill the attacking flaw.

In the entire five games, in two of them, Le Kai was the best performance of the whole game.

The fourteenth and eighteenth rounds, respectively.

In the fourteenth round of the offense and defense against Everton, Le Kai's defensive ability sniped Everton's offense again and again.

In the commentary's words, 'He took down Everton's attacking line all by himself! ’

Although a bit exaggerated, the same can be said.

This game is the most difficult game Le Kai has ever played.

And when Arsenal's offense was delayed, the pressure all came to the defense.

If it wasn't for the defenses of Lucky and Vermaelen, they wouldn't have been able to win the draw.

In this game, Le Kai didn't score or assist, but he won the best title and rating with 5 steals, 4 interceptions and 4 damages.

Luckey's performance made Arsenal fans happy, but at the same time they were full of worries about Arsenal's future.

After all, Wilshere has already reported the season's reimbursement.

Although Cazorla's injury can be expected to return, but according to the news released by the club, it has to wait until April.

How Arsenal will survive this period is a question.

While doing well so far, what about the future.

What if you get hurt again?

Arsenal fans are now pinning their hopes on Arteta, and if this guy gets injured, everything will be ruined.

But blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes do not come singly.

In the 19th round, Arsenal played against West Ham United at home.

In this game, Arsenal relied on Arteta's excellent performance to win the game with a score of 5-1.

But it wasn't long before the fans were happy when a frantic West Ham player shoveled directly into Arteta's ankle.

There was no accident, Arteta was injured.

And this also completely blew up Arsenal. Le Kai rushed over almost immediately and was about to beat the 'butcher'. Even the captain Vermaelen rushed over. If the referee hadn't appeared immediately, it might have developed into an accident. Vicious brawl.

In the end, the West Ham United player was sent off with a red card and was more likely to face the danger of a ban.

But Arsenal's losses were even worse.

Arteta was injured and the only midfielder who supported him left.

In Arsenal's injury list, another main spot has been added.

Arsenal's injury list: Wilshere (season out), Cazorla, Arteta, Szczesny, Arshavin and Rosicky.

Arsenal's bench is not thick enough, and this series of injuries has made them even worse.

......

Kearney training base, medical room.

Arteta sat on the hospital bed with his ankle in a plaster cast, next to the coach headed by Wenger.

Arteta's face was bitter, while Wenger and others stared at Arteta's ankle in a daze.

The team doctor said with a wry smile: "The ankle is dislocated, and it will take at least 6-8 weeks to recuperate, and it will take nearly three months to recover!"

Hearing this, Wenger turned to look at Levin, the team doctor, and asked, "Is there a way to make him recover quickly?"

The team doctor Levin shook his head; "There is no way! The current situation is not optimistic."

Wenger pondered again.

After a moment, Wenger patted Arteta on the shoulder.

"have a good rest!"

Immediately, he left the ward.

At this moment, Wenger's shoulders drooped down, and the stormy Arsenal ushered in a heavy blow again.

Got rid of the predicament at the beginning of the season, but fell into consecutive injuries in the middle of the season. Several midfielders were all injured, leaving only three or two big fish and small fish.

Arsenal's possession base has all been stripped clean.

Wilshere, Cazorla, Arteta, Rosicky, any one can stay!

But he never imagined that one day all four of them would be injured.

And it takes 2-3 months to recover.

What does this represent?

2-3 months into the end of the season, how can Arsenal stabilize the situation and compete for more points?

Wenger suddenly felt very tired.

Van Persie played a full game last season, so Arsenal can skyrocket and get a relatively satisfactory result.

But this season, the problem did not appear in the striker, but in the more deadly midfield!

The four generals are all lying on the hospital bed!

Who can they rely on?

How will Arsenal's pass continue?

Ramsay? Diaby? Kirkland? Chamberlain or Lucky?

One of these people counts as one, can they do some fine work?

No!

not a single one!

Walking out of the medical room, Wenger found that the first team players had not left. They stood at the door and looked at himself eagerly.

Wenger glanced, he looked at Vermaelen, Chamberlain, Walcott, Podolski, Suarez and... Lucky.

There seemed to be something surging in his eyes, and after a while: "Go back, the specific news will be announced tomorrow."

Lucky took a step forward; "Arteta's injury..."

Wenger waved: "I said, go back!"

Le Kai nodded helplessly, and everyone dispersed, but everyone had a depressed look on their faces.

After everyone left, Patrice came out.

He stood beside Wenger, looked at each other, and said, "How do we play next?"

The problem has already happened, they can't feel sorry for themselves, what is needed now is to solve the problem.

After the lack of three generals, how Arsenal should behave is a key.

Wenger pondered for a moment, looked into the distance, and said slowly: "I once said that football is to please the fans, to give the fans enough enjoyment, so I must take the initiative in the game, so I don't like Mourini. Oh."

Wenger paused for a moment, giving Patrice a chance to interject.

But Patrice didn't respond. He squinted at Wenger, a tone he was familiar with.

That's what this guy said last year when he was talking about 'Jagged Spirit and Technology Factor' in the office.

Mourinho is the representative of defense first and the representative of defensive counterattack.

This contradicts the 'football' theory emphasized by Wenger.

The two were silent for a long time. Seeing that Patrice was useless to respond, Wenger could only continue embarrassedly: "But we don't have a championship."

Patrice said directly; "Do you want to play a defensive counterattack?"

Wenger: "......"

After a moment, he sighed; "Do we have any other way?"

Patrice also sighed, as Wenger said, there was nothing they could do.

If Cazorla, Arteta and Wilshere are left, they can continue to play pass-and-control tactics.

But the three injuries completely shattered Arsenal's transfer factor.

They can't expect Ramsay, Chamberlain, and Lucky to do this kind of work, and they can't do it at this stage.

"You say, given enough freedom to Kai, how much can he do on the defensive end?"

Wenger said suddenly.

This sentence made Patrice stunned for a moment.

In fact, Luckey is in a shackled state in Arsenal's lineup and tactical system.

Due to the emphasis on regional defense, Le Kai has a special defense area. Many times, he cannot choose to defend on his own, but is forced to stay in place.

Although it formed a linkage with the whole, it sacrificed part of Lucky's defensive ability.

Today's Lucky is only a part of Arsenal's defensive end, far from giving enough resources to tilt and the treatment of the defensive core.

But even so, Le Kai still scored an average of 4 steals and 4 interceptions per game, which is already remarkable.

But what if he was completely freed?

Patrice narrowed his eyes slightly, he didn't know what was going to happen.

Maybe that's still the case.

Or maybe, the data will show explosive growth.

But what is certain is that once it is decided to play a defensive counterattack, then Le Kai will be the absolute core of both offense and defense.

It is the core of defense and the core of fast break.

Luckey's key passing ability is among the best in Arsenal.

His long pass, short pass, curved pass and even through ball are involved, and he can play a variety of styles of counter-attacks.

And Arsenal also met all the necessary conditions for the counter-attack.

There are fast players such as Podolski, Suarez and Walcott in the frontcourt.

There are also Chamberlain, Ramsey and Lucky in the midfield.

Chamberlain's speed and scoring ability are all powerful tools in defensive counterattacks.

The conditions are met, and it depends on whether Arsenal can kick out.

If he can really kick out the effect, then Wenger doesn't mind being a joke in other people's mouths.

First grade!

Championship is everything!

Whether winning the championship with beautiful football or winning the championship with a defensive counterattack, as long as it is a champion, it will become a hero in the eyes of the media and fans.

Isn't the so-called pleasing fans the same as winning that damn championship?

Even if you play beautifully, losing is losing!

Therefore, even if it is a bit ugly, Wenger will win this time!
