All-around center

Bernabeu Stadium, closed warm-up match.

Real Madrid ushered in their first warm-up match against Arsenal.

In the locker room, everyone is preparing for the game.

At this time, Mourinho walked into the locker room and began to announce the starting lineup:

Goalkeeper: Casillas.

Defenders: Carvajal, Carvalho, Pepe, Marcelo.

Midfielder: Granero, Kaka, Di Maria.

Forwards: Bale, Benzema, Callejon.

Seeing this starting list, everyone was quite surprised.

Generally speaking, in warm-up games, the starting lineup is the first to go on the court for adjustments and testing, and then the substitutes get the chance to play.

But Mourinho put some of his main players on the bench and adopted a mixed lineup.

However, Mourinho did not explain.

On the other side, Arsenal's starting lineup is full of main players.

Goalkeeper: Szczesny.

Defenders: Koscielny, Gibbs, Vermaelen, Sagna.

Midfielder: Chamberlain, Alexander Song, Rosicky.

Forwards: Walcott, Robin van Persie, Gervinho.

Suker sat on the bench, turned his head left and right to look at the Arsenal and Real Madrid lineups, and then lowered his head in thought.

Mourinho's uncharacteristic pre-match arrangement made him confused, but he also couldn't figure it out.

In front of him, Faria also turned to look at Mourinho and asked:

"Why do you arrange the lineup like this?"

Faced with the assistant's question, Mourinho also sighed; "This is Wenger's request."

"Professor's request?" Faria was a little surprised.

Mourinho nodded; "He hopes that we will not directly use all the main players in the starting lineup."

Mourinho called it a day, but Faria soon understood.

Arsenal are now in a panic situation due to Cesc Fabregas' betrayal.

They need some external stimulus to gel as a team.

And Real Madrid can be this external stimulus.

Wenger understands that with Arsenal's current lineup, there is no way they can beat Real Madrid.

Therefore, we request not to send all the main players in the first half, and at least let these Arsenal players play with some enthusiasm.

To put it bluntly, it is just to let the water go a little bit so that they can find their form.

At the same time, Wenger also wanted to let the players understand through this game that Arsenal has not lost its fighting capacity.

Therefore, there is a high probability that you will not be able to kick it, but you still need to kick out your own content.

Thinking of this, Faria shook her head and sighed.

He used to think that Wenger was very hard-working. He was obviously talented. It would take half a day to buy a player worth 10 million to guard Arsenal.

Now this Arsenal makes him even more worried.

In the arena, the game started soon.

Su Ke sat on the bench, eating bananas and watching the game.

Real Madrid's lineup actually doesn't have any big problems. Although it cannot compare with the main lineup, its offense and defense are still very stable.

As for Arsenal, their offense is a little impatient.

After Cesc Fabregas left, Rosicky became the commander of Arsenal.

At present, Arteta has not yet transferred, and the midfielder can only rely on Rosicky.

But Rosicky played very anxiously, or rather violently.

When the offense advances, his handling is not so delicate.

There are times when you should be dribbling laterally or passing back to teammates, but you are desperately passing and dribbling forward.

This also caused Arsenal to move forward as a whole and seemed to be full of offensive threats, but they played particularly chaotically.

However, this kind of chaos is not a bad thing.

After all, the rhythm is messed up.

Following the chaos is Real Madrid!

Kaka is still in the transition period, and his rhythm control under the organization is a weakness.

This is also the reason why Modric used his rhythm to suppress him in the Champions League final.

But after all, I have just come into contact with the position of midfielder, so I will definitely feel a little uncomfortable, so I need to take my time.

It can be said that the current chaotic situation is actually beneficial to Arsenal.

boom!

Rosicky made a diagonal pass.

Van Persie suddenly crossed the back line and reached the sharp corner on the right side of the small penalty area.

Van Persie turned around and hit the goal.

The ball bounced off Casillas.

Chamberlain, who followed up from behind, didn't stop the ball and fired a powerful shot. The ball went wildly wide.

Suk looked at Chamberlain and grinned slightly.

What kind of player is this?

In the past, Arsenal, even the young substitutes, were of very high quality.

Wenger doesn't even look down on players like Chamberlain.

But now Wenger obviously doesn't want to be picky, and he will do whatever comes cheap.

It was Real Madrid's turn to attack.

It's still Bell's high-speed dribbling along the wing.

Suker did not play, and Bell's right wing became Real Madrid's main offensive line.

However, Bell does not have the centripetal force like Su Ke.

When Suker plays, everyone will help Suker create space on the wing.

After all, this is Suk!

They trust Suker's ability, so as long as they create opportunities, Suker can score goals.

But Bell is different!

He has yet to prove himself.

The most obvious manifestation is that Benzema is not very willing to deal with Bell.

Benzema is positioned as a fulcrum center.

They do more dirty work.

But let him work for Suk, and he is willing.

But he was not happy if he was asked to work for Bell.

For this reason, Benzema directly used himself as a single arrow, shooting when he got the ball, without caring about Bell's position.

And Bell is not the kind of player who is good at running. He cannot run out of threatening gaps, so Benzema is even less willing to pass the ball.

"The kicking was a bit messy!"

Alonso frowned.

Suk shrugged; "It's more than just chaos! There's simply no rhythm."

Three people on the front line.

Callejon, Benzema and Bale.

None of these three people is convinced by the other, and no one wants to give the other party space and create opportunities.

After all, he is his competitor, and allowing him to score is a deduction for himself.

Moreover, this is not a formal game, so this kind of competition is even more obvious.

The game time has entered 30 minutes.

Arsenal seized a very valuable opportunity. Taking advantage of Real Madrid's counterattack, Rosicky completed the steal in the center circle and passed it to Gervinho on the wing.

Gervinho made a cross from the wing.

Walcott appeared in the middle to compete for the top and caused interference. At the back point, Arsenal's real killer move, Van Persie, faced the falling ball and volleyed directly.

boom!

The ball went into the goal from close range.

Arsenal leads Real Madrid 1:0.

But it was not over yet. In the 41st minute, Arsenal had a corner kick opportunity.

Arsenal defender Koscielny scored again with a header to open the score.

With two goals, Arsenal leads Real Madrid 2:0.

This also made the Arsenal players extremely excited.

Their status can be adjusted.

Oh my God!

They are ahead of Real Madrid!

During halftime, the Arsenal players were chattering away.

They became extremely enthusiastic about this game, and all the bad things before were forgotten.

The role Wenger wanted appeared.

However, when the Arsenal players stood up and prepared to face the second half with high morale, they saw Real Madrid's lineup and their hearts suddenly sank.

Su Ke walked into the court with the ball, and he had already taken off his substitute vest.

This means that Su Ke will play in the second half.

The Arsenal players were shocked.

Even though I knew this moment was coming, I still felt extremely nervous.

At this moment, Wenger's voice sounded.

"Substitute!"

Robin van Persie, Theo Walcott, Koscielny and Alexander Song were all substituted.

See this operation by Wenger.

Both Mourinho and Suker were dumbfounded.

Damn it!

Just punch and run?

This is to let the main players vent their emotions, and then let the substitutes get beaten!

Mourinho also looked at this scene blankly.

"This old French man, when did he learn to be mean?"

Uh-huh! ! !

Suker quickly passed in front of Wenger, and with his powerful explosive power, he instantly evened the gap with Sagna.

Sagna has rich experience, but he has no way to deal with hard indicators such as speed.

After Su Ke unloaded the ball, he went directly into the penalty area.

Facing the chaotic Arsenal defense, Suker moved horizontally and twisted his waist to volley.

The ball passed under Gibbs' crotch and into the near corner of the goal.

Suker scored just 3 minutes into the second half.

This goal is a more thorough demonstration of personal ability than the overall cooperation itself.

Wenger rubbed his temples with one hand and shook his head.

During his coaching career, he met many outstanding forwards.

For example, Henry, Pires, Bergkamp, ​​etc. are among the best.

But none of their peaks were as fierce as Su Ke's.

The most important thing is that Su Ke maintains his condition.

The peak period of many players ends after 3-4 years, which is considered a long time.

But looking at Suker, Wenger didn't even know when this guy's peak period began and when it ended.

At the very least, Suk is still so terrifying now.

"Patrice, I regret it!"

Wenger said softly.

In this regard, Patrice also shook his head and said nothing.

It’s not just Wenger who regrets it, it’s the whole Arsenal.

But there is no regret medicine in this world, and their choices can only be borne by themselves.

However, if they were allowed to go back to the moment of re-selection, Wenger would still squeeze out that damn 30 million euros by selling everything!

On the sidelines, Mourinho looked a little unhappy.

He didn't expect Wenger to do this, but after all, it was a warm-up match, so he had to let Wenger make a substitution, right?

Mourinho breathed out: "Stop breaking through, practice our tactics!"

Hearing this, Suker and Bell retreated slightly, and Real Madrid's overall defense also retreated further.

Arsenal players saw that the offensive pressure was slack. For the first time, they did not dare to attack. However, after a few minutes, they found that Real Madrid was not pressing them, and their inner desire to attack began to stir.

Soon, Rosicky began to frequently drop back to catch the ball.

He looked at Real Madrid's formation and was still a little apprehensive.

"They want to use the wings to counterattack!"

Rosicky knows this, and so do the other Arsenal players.

At the moment when Rosicky was about to score the ball, Kaká suddenly rushed over from the side.

Rosicky immediately pulled the ball, but his center of gravity at this time no longer allowed him to change direction again.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Alonso had already rushed forward and poked the ball out.

The ball hit the center circle, and Benzema just dropped back to catch the ball and pass it back.

Kaka quickly moved forward, met Benzema's back pass, and inserted the ball directly behind the right full-back.

At the same time, Su Ke and Bell on both wings suddenly started to move.

The rapid speed and explosive power instantly disrupted Arsenal's defense.

"So fast!"

"too fast?"

"Can you make it in time?"

There were bursts of exclamations from the Arsenal bench.

A Bell is fast enough, giving them a lot of sprint impact.

But when there is a Su Ke, this sense becomes even stronger.

Even Arsenal knew that Real Madrid was going to attack from both wings, but they were unable to stop it.

At this pure speed, they had no way to intercept it.

Bell eats Jenkinson alive on the wing, quickly catches up with the ball, and sweeps the ball towards the center.

The pass was very powerful and the ball was very fast. Vermaelen failed to block it immediately and the ball went over.

At the back point, Su Ke suddenly slid in and shoveled the ball into the goal.

Uh-huh!

The ball hits the net.

Real Madrid equalized the score.

"Once past the full-back, the only one who can catch up with Bale's speed is Suker!" Mourinho said with a smile on his lips.

This is not any technical or tactical offensive cooperation, but a pure use of the cooperation of two super fast horses.

It can be said that if the opponent does not have a fast horse of the same level on the wing, it will continue to suffer from Su Ke and Bell's attacks that use speed to attack.

This kind of attack is the most unreasonable, and it is played on the counterattack.

Unless the opponent can outrun Real Madrid, there is no way.

Wenger also frowned at this scene.

"Real Madrid's dominance of matches will continue this season!"

Patrice; "But why do I feel that Real Madrid was more of a threat last season?"

"The performance of a team is not only about tactics, but also about state, mentality and various subjective consciousness. Real Madrid reached the peak in these aspects last season. After all, many players here failed to win the Champions League, so that This possible mentality is also part of the motivation. Although they have not lost their dedication to the championship, it will not be as urgent as last season!”

"Coupled with intense consumption and insufficient recovery, these have led to a certain decline in Real Madrid's form, but they are still one of the most powerful teams on the planet!"

When Wenger spoke, his eyes looked at Suk.

Just like his words, every player will perform differently in different seasons.

This is the ups and downs of status, more or less.

But Suk is like a robot, with no ups and downs at all, and is always threatening.

Wenger shook his head slightly, this was not something he should think about.

Su Ke has never belonged to him. Maybe he still doesn't understand a lot about Su Ke.

In the following time, Real Madrid used frequent counterattacks to open the score.

In the 78th minute, Marcelo scored a goal in a corner kick.

In the 88th minute, Benzema connected with Suker. Taking advantage of Suker's horizontal movement, Benzema immediately moved forward. Suker took the opportunity to stuff the ball, and Benzema scored alone.

In the end, at the end of the game, Real Madrid defeated Arsenal 4:2.

After the entire warm-up match, both sides got what they wanted.

Wenger slightly awakened the fighting spirit of some players, and Mourinho also tested his tactics.

However, due to the departure of Cesc Fabregas, the current Arsenal midfielder is not strong enough. It is difficult for Rosicky to support the midfielder alone, so Real Madrid's high press cannot be detected.

The warm-up match is over and Arsenal is preparing to return to London.

Wenger turned his head and looked at the Real Madrid bus that was moving away, and sighed; "After we get back, let's go to Everton again. The transfer of Arteta should also be finalized!" "

This season, they will sign a Spanish midfielder, Mikel Arteta, from Everton to fill the vacancy after Cesc Fabregas left.

At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Mourinho completed the review and disbanded the team.

Su Ke suggested; "How about a pre-season dinner?"

After Suk finished speaking, Ramos and others looked at Casillas.

Suker mainly asked Casillas.

Casillas turned around and said, "I have something else to do later."

Casillas declined, and Suk nodded and said, "Okay, let's meet at Bell's villa at seven o'clock in the evening."

Bell was shocked; "Why are you at my house?"

Su Ke: "I don't have a place in my house. After all, Angel has a family and it's inconvenient. What are you waiting for as a single man if you don't go out to the venue!"

Bell said helplessly, "Okay, I get it!"

Suk and others took the car back to the villa.

Suk had already prepared the ingredients and directed everyone to move the ingredients and barbecue equipment to Bell's house.

After everyone arrived at Bell's villa, they were ready to start the exam.

But before they could start, Ramos and Aveiroa walked in.

"Good evening!" Ramos went straight to Suk's grill, looked left and right and said, "It's not ready yet!"

Suk looked at Ramos; "I thought you wouldn't come!"

"Igor has something to do, but that doesn't mean we all have something to do." Ramos said with a smile; "Do you need my help?"

Suk handed over the barbecue tongs.

"It just so happens that the meat you grill is more delicious!"

Now that someone can control him, Su Ke can naturally be lazy as long as he can.

While Ramos was grilling meat, he said, "Igor, I've been having a hard time lately!"

Suk squatted aside and said nothing.

Ramos glanced at Suker; "What didn't Mourinho do to you?"

"What to do?" Su Ke shrugged; "We are all in the same team, why are they so easy to target!"

That's because you're not being targeted.

Ramos grinned.

Mourinho now focuses almost entirely on suppressing the Spanish gang.

Among the 11 main players, there are only three local Spanish players: Casillas, Ramos, and Alonso.

There used to be more, but now there are less and less.

This has also resulted in their voice in the locker room being gradually reduced.

Ramos raised this topic just to judge Su Ke's attitude.

But this guy pretended to be stupid and didn't talk to me at all!
