There is a dream called football

Wenger looked at the players on the training ground with a very gloomy mood. As a strong team, Arsenal had to withdraw many players during the past FIFA match days.

But the FIFA virus is very powerful. No, I was fine when I went there, but when I came back I was more or less injured.

The team doctor gave Wenger a report, which stated that Henry and Bergkamp had muscle problems and would definitely not be able to play in the next league game.

Li Qiao, Toure and others are very tired after long-distance flights and are advised to rest. There is also Reyes, an old patient. It can be said that Wenger can only use half of the players.

In the match against Bolton, Arsenal lost 0-1. When asked by reporters after the game, Wenger couldn't hold back.

"The reason for the loss? Ask Blatter."

…

…

Wenger shook off these words and left, leaving behind shocked reporters.

But this time, several big players in the Premier League are surprisingly unanimous and are on Wenger's side, including Mourinho and Ferguson.

Mourinho was even more intense.

"We spend hundreds of millions on players every year, but FIFA can randomly select them. Is this fair?"

The reporter said: "But there are subsidies."

"Haha, subsidy."

Mourinho smiled wantonly, "That subsidy is not enough to hire a janitor, so what's the use?"

…

…

Ferguson is more tactful.

"There must be a balance between the interests of the national team and the interests of the club. I feel that if the interests of the club are harmed, then the interests of FIFA cannot be protected."

This problem does have a long history.

In order to fight against FIFA, these giants even established the G14. However, on the other hand, it is impossible for FIFA games not to be held, so reasonable subsidies may be the most important thing.

Blatter said that he will increase the compensation to clubs in the future and will give clubs a certain amount of compensation based on the number of national team appearances.

However, complaints are complaints. Wenger still has to consider the next game, which will soon be against Manchester United. This is a very important matchup in the Premier League.

On the training ground, Wenger was testing a new tactic, which was to partner Li Qiao and Van Persie as forwards.

If Henry and Bergkamp are unable to play, then the game against Manchester United must be changed.

But I tried it and found a lot of problems.

First of all, neither of them was born as a true forward, and they are not good at holding the ball on the front line.

The forward's technique of holding the ball is to stick the ball to his feet, such as Bergkamp stopping the ball, because the forward is always in the penalty area when he takes the ball. If the stop is slightly larger at this time, it will not be possible at all.

There may be a second chance to adjust, and it's easy to get kicked.

But wingers are not like that. Wingers can pass the ball when they stop the ball, and then use their speed to overtake.

"Stop, you can't stop the ball like this. There is a lot of space on the wing, but the space in the penalty area is very small. You have to stop the ball at your feet instead of going out."

Li Qiao and Van Persie nodded.

However, their basic skills and learning abilities are both top-notch and they improved quickly. Of course, there is still a big gap between them and the main players.

"Otherwise, you two can learn from Henry and Bergkamp."

*****

In the gym, patients are training here, mainly strength training, to maintain their weight. For injured areas, the best medicine is time, which needs to be cultivated slowly, and then it can be cured.

At this time Li Qiao and Van Persie came.

"Haha, why do you think of us two?"

"That's it..."

Li Qiao and Van Persie talked about the matter, and Henry and Bergkamp laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Robin van Persie asked.

Bergkamp smiled and said: "Actually, there are no skills, it's just training. By the way, I suggest you train with tennis."

"tennis?"

"Yes, when two people go to play football on a small court, the ball they use is a tennis ball. This is very helpful for improving their skills."

Although Li Qiao and Van Persie thought it was a bit strange, they nodded, "Okay, let's try it."

The Arsenal club has a five-a-side pitch. Li Qiao and Robin van Persie go to the small pitch to train after training.

When I started training with tennis balls, I felt like I couldn't even kick the ball.

"It's impossible to kick this."

The basic training that professional players receive is to pay attention to the lower, middle, or upper part of the ball when shooting.

As we all know, if the lower part of the ball is kicked, the ball will definitely be kicked away. For example, if the goalkeeper opens his foot, the upper part of the ball can push out the ground ball.

But tennis balls are so small that it is impossible to hit the lower part of the ball. They basically hit the same place, which is very troublesome for these professional players.

"I think just put aside the skills of football and just play football like a child."

Van Persie nodded.

Li Qiao passed the ball to Van Persie, who took a flying kick, but it was completely missed.

sweat!!

"You'd better stop the ball and then shoot."

"good."

Li Qiao passed the ball again. Normally, Van Persie could stop the ball with the arch of his foot, but the tennis ball was hard and he couldn't control it at all.

This is a great test of stopping skills.

No wonder Bergkamp's passing is so strong. It turned out to be practiced like this. Li Qiao felt that he should stick to this practice.

"Robin, I think we have to practice this three times a week, and slowly our stopping skills will be as strong as Henry's."

*****

At this time, Manchester United was very strong, Keane had left, the midfield had been replaced, and Koreans Park Ji-sung and Fletcher built the team.

The most powerful thing is that the goalkeeper has been replaced by Van der Sar. Li Qiao knew that the Dutchman would be a legend at Manchester United in the future, so when he left, Ferguson regretted not buying Van der Sar earlier. This was his biggest regret in coaching Manchester United.

But for Manchester United, the biggest bad news is that Cristiano Ronaldo was injured during the national team game. This game is definitely not possible.

This may also be the reason why Ferguson supported Wenger on the FIFA virus.

In short, this is not the best state for both sides, and there are absolute main players who cannot fight.

When Ferguson brought Manchester United to London, they wanted to leave with three points, because the opponents competing for the league title this season are Chelsea and Arsenal.

But every time I come to Highbury, the games are not easy to play. This is a place that Ferguson really doesn’t want to come to. The other one is the Double Red Club.

Before the game, Ferguson was asked about Ronaldo. The old man said that Ronaldo can go to Christmas, and in the new year, he hopes that a brand new Ronaldo will appear in front of everyone.

"For us, the New Year's Champions League is a more important game, and we can't do without Ronaldo at that time."

In terms of the Champions League, Manchester United and Arsenal are similar in that they have already locked in a spot.
