Football: The Hand that Covers the Sky

"Ricardo is revisiting his old place, right" Carvalho spent the peak of his career at Chelsea. At that time, he won the Champions League under the leadership of Mourinho, and then came with Moutinho. To Chelsea.

　　 However, time has passed. Mourinho returned to Chelsea for the second time last season, but Carvalho has entered the twilight of his career and may retire at any time.

　　 As a person who has lived in London for five years, Carvalho is still able to provide Li Shou with some advice, which makes Li Shou somewhat surprised.

　　 After bidding farewell to Raj and Carvalho, Li Shou continued to prepare for the upcoming new season. Arsenal once again ushered in a friendly opponent, the giants Celtic from Sogra.

　　 Wenger’s decision is a bit intriguing, you know, this friendly match is temporarily added, and this friendly match Arsenal will go to Scotland.

　　 Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland. Although Arsenal is still an enemy this time, the Scots are not hostile because this is just a pre-match warm-up match.

　　 In this game Wenger officially began to cultivate the tacit understanding between the old and new players. Sanchez and Griezmann both made their debuts. Li Zhizhi replaced Szczensny in the second half.

Sanchez and Griezmann still need time to develop a tacit understanding, but Li Shou is different. As a goalkeeper, Li Shou’s main task is to guard the goal. As for the cooperation with the central defender, as long as everyone can do their job well, That's enough.

　　For example, in this game, Li Shou cooperated with Koscielny and Mertesacker for the first time. It is said that Li Shou has a normal relationship with Mertesacker because of Ozil.

　　 Li Shoudao did not deliberately improve on this, because Li Shou believes that as long as they cooperate a few more games, the relationship will definitely improve deliberately.

　　 The performance of Li Shou who appeared in the second half was not bad. Although he lost a goal, it was only a friendly match after all. Everyone still focused on finding status and cultivating tacit understanding.

　　 Szczesny lost a goal in the first half, Li Shou also lost a goal in the second half, and Arsenal also received the ball on offense, so the game ended in a tie.

　　 Arsenal lost two goals, but Li Shou and Szczesny did not perform badly. As for the Celtics, most of Wenger's mind was on Van Dijk.

Van Dijk, who is more than 1.9 meters tall, has very good skills at his feet, and his speed is also very fast. This is an alternative to a central defender. After all, like Van Dijk's height, speed and turning will definitely be slow, but Van Dijk does not have this. problem.

　　 And Van Dijk’s physical fitness is very good. He didn't suffer from Giroud, and even faintly forced Giroud, so that the French center's performance in the first half was very average.

　　 So after the game, there was an extra transfer offer on the Celtics transfer manager's desk, and Arsenal officially quoted Celtics centre-back Van Dijk.

　　 Seeing this offer, the Celtics head coach almost turned the table directly. At this moment, the head coach was full of regrets and should not agree to the Arsenal friendly invitation.

　　 "No, Van Dijk is not for sale" said the Celtics coach.

　　 However, there are so-called non-sale items in this world. When Arsenal's second offer was raised to 8 million pounds, the non-sale items became an important player.

　　 10 million pounds, the third offer soon came to the Celtics transfer supervisor's desk, this time the Celtics directly bargained for 12 million pounds.

　　 Then Arsenal hesitated. Arsenal's ideal price is 10 million pounds. The Celtics' counter-offer has exceeded Arsenal's psychological expectations.

　　 Don’t underestimate these two million pounds. They often get stuck on this as soon as a transfer is made. I expect that this kind of thing will be passed even if it is a straw.

　　 And Van Dijk only performed well in the Soviet Super League. He didn't really prove himself in the top league. No one can be sure if Van Dijk can adapt to the Premier League, and Van Dijk's performance in the Champions League last season was very average.

　　 So Van Dijk’s transfer was stalled, and Arsenal once again ushered in a friendly match. This time the opponents are weak and belong to the lower league team.

　　 In this game, Arsenal won a big victory. In this game, Li Shou made his debut again and delivered a good answer without losing the ball.

　　 This is also Arsenal's last friendly match before the new season. The first time of the opening of the Premier League this season is scheduled for August 16, and the opponent is the Crystal Palace, which was ranked in the middle of last season.

　　As the new season approaches, the players' training has finally relaxed a little. After all, no one wants to get injured before the new season starts, and a season is as long as the Premier League does not have a winter break. It is still necessary to relax properly.

　　 Not to mention that Arsenal still has a Community Shield to play before the official start of the Premier League. The Community Shield is a contest between the Premier League champion and the FA Cup champion.

The Premier League champions belonged to Manchester City last season, and Arsenal won the FA Cup. This champion also ended Arsenal’s nine-year awkward situation without a title~www.wuxiaspot.com~ even if this is dispensable In the past, Arsenal has always used the FA Cup and League Cup to train young players.

　　 Although there is no gold content, for the two teams, it is a more formal training before the official start of the season.

　　 Wembley Stadium on August 10th. This is the home stadium of the England national team and the host stadium of the English domestic league finals. It is also a world-famous stadium.

　　Although many people look down on the Community Shield Cup, in fact, England fans are unusually supportive of these cups held by themselves. Even in the eyes of many English fans, domestic cups are more important than intercontinental cups.

　　 This is a certain abnormal mentality of the English people. In the past few years, the major coaches of the Premier League have never cared much about the domestic cups. They mainly focus on the Champions League and even the European Union.

　　 Regarding the Community Shield Cup, Wenger had announced the starting roster in the team early. Li Shou appeared on the 18-man roster, but he was not in the starting field.

　　 There is nothing wrong with Li Shou. Regarding the Community Shield Cup, Li Shou is not an Englishman, so naturally he doesn't care too much, although this is the first time Li Shou has entered Wembley Stadium.

Compared with the Community Shield Cup, Li Shou prefers to play in the league, because the league is the real starting point for this season. However, according to Wenger’s exchanges with Li Shou, the first two starts of the season belonged to Szczesny. It is Li Shou's opportunity to determine who will perform well before deciding to start this season.

Therefore, in this Community Shield Cup, Li Shou sat on the bench on the sidelines and watched for ninety minutes, but Li Shou almost had a chance to appear. At the end of the game, Szczesny was injured in a save, but it is a pity Jenseni was not seriously injured this time, and returned to the court after a simple treatment.
