There is a dream called football

The famous British football media "442" was commenting on the performance of the Premier League teams this season.

Reporters Sean and Charlie specifically mentioned Arsenal.

"I think Arsenal will still focus on the Champions League this season, and their goal in the league should still be the top four."

"I agree, because Arsenal's lineup is not enough to guarantee that they can achieve double-tier results, and don't forget that the Premier League is no less difficult than the Champions League."

Sean mentioned, "If Arsenal wants to compete with Manchester United and Chelsea, then they must buy people."

"But the construction of a new stadium makes this a luxury. We can only hope that Arsenal can do better, at least during the winter break."

As 442 said, it has always been difficult for Arsenal to win consecutive victories in the league. Due to stumbling, Arsenal has been in the fifth and sixth positions.

It can be seen that the change of old and new has a great impact on Arsenal at this time. Wenger can only look forward to the results of the youth training and good luck in the transfer market.

"How's it going? John."

John is a staff member of Arsenal, and Wenger sent him to the Russian examination center. In mid-October, Arsenal will be a guest in Moscow to face CSKA Moscow, the most difficult opponent in Wenger's mind.

Of course, the reason why it is difficult to play is due to two aspects. The first is of course the strength of the opponent. CSKA Moscow plays very fast, a typical Eastern European football style, and what is even worse is the weather.

"Boss, it has started to snow here, and the temperature is around zero degrees. I think it won't be too cold when we come in October, but in November, it might be more than ten degrees below zero."

Wenger chuckled.

"I remember that CSKA Moscow's home stadium has artificial turf."

"Yes, this may be very detrimental to us."

Most amateur football fans play on artificial turf, so they may think they are all the same, and there is nothing wrong with them.

But for professional players, the difference between artificial turf and natural grass is worlds apart.

The first is to unload.

Natural turf can be shoveled out, so that professional players with great strength will not be injured due to the turf, but artificial turf cannot be unloaded, which is very bad.

Second is the feeling of the feet.

Not to mention the lawn, if you walk barefoot on the wooden floor, and if you walk on the concrete floor, you will feel particularly uncomfortable.

Therefore, the lawn is Wenger's biggest concern. Although CSKA Moscow's stadium is also of high standard, everything is unknown due to the extremely cold weather in Moscow.

What Wenger has to do is to find an artificial turf stadium in London as soon as possible so that the players can adapt in advance.

"Oh my God, I feel like I'm stepping on marble," Van Persie complained.

Wenger chuckled and said, "This is how Moscow's home stadium will be when the time comes, so don't complain, there's nothing I can do about it."

"I really feel that Russia's home stadium will be moved to other countries. I don't know how many countries have suffered from the snowstorm in Russia."

What impressed us most was the French World Cup qualifiers. Italy was drawn with Russia in the play-offs. In the heavy snow in Moscow, Italy was really embarrassed. The reason why many people can remember that battle in the snow is because

That was the first time Buffon played for Italy, and it had been 20 years since the first game.

"Robin, stop dreaming and think about how to fight the Russians in the wind and snow."

"Hehe, okay."

After training for 20 minutes, everyone was really uncomfortable. Because the artificial turf is made of rubber particles, the foot feel is very different from that of natural grass, so it is normal to feel uncomfortable.

"The fast players in our team need to focus on adapting. I think this is the most important thing."

Speedy players need the support of the lawn to make sudden turns, stops, accelerations, and changes of direction, and this also places the highest demands on the lawn.

Li Qiao ran for a while and felt okay, but his knee was still a little uncomfortable and sore. The team doctor immediately dealt with it.

In the following days, the players' training will be carried out on the artificial turf. It will be much better when the players master the mechanical characteristics.

For example, Li Qiao, when accelerating, don't be so hard, and when decelerating, pedal the grass lightly. This is a very important thing.

However, Wenger is still worried. After all, it is impossible to be pushed to the limit in training, and in official games, the opponent will kill you. Coupled with the opponent's strong football style, in that high-pressure situation, the lawn

Only then will the disadvantages really show up.

However, Wenger can only bite the bullet and wait and see what luck will bring.

CSKA Moscow's head coach Kishav has been doing well recently. He is far ahead in the league, and his performance in the Champions League is not bad. They drew 0-0 with Porto in the first game and narrowly defeated Hamburg 1-0 in the second round.

The start is still a bit raw, but it has been amazing enough. It is now ranked second in the standings, and the next home game is very important for CSKA Moscow.

Kishav knows that CSKA Moscow’s biggest advantage is at home, and according to the schedule, the first three rounds of CSKA Moscow are away, home, and home, which is the second round. They have only one home game against Porto, and the other two games are all away games.

It's an away game.

This is a bit passive. You must know that the second round is often the most desperate, so Kishav still attaches great importance to playing Arsenal at home, which even affects whether he will appear or not.

The personnel composition of CSKA is also quite peculiar. Brazilians and Russians are added, the midfield and backfield are strong Russians, and the offensive line will add Brazilian talent, so this is a civilian team, but it is not a poor team.

.

At this time, CSKA's biggest names might be Zhirkov, who later moved to Chelsea, and their Russian national goalkeeper Akinfeev.

The head coach fully believes that with these players, he can create miracles, even miracles like Porto.

Kishav is also dreaming about whether he can become as famous as Mourinho. Of course, that will require victory in the Champions League.

Recently, the focus of CSKA Moscow's league has shifted to the Champions League. In the league, they will send out substitute lineups to let their players get sufficient rest. This is also a regular tactic.

But it is impossible for Arsenal. Wenger must let Arsenal play with all the main players. After defeating Watford 3-0 at the weekend, Wenger breathed a sigh of relief and can finally go to Moscow with a victory.

Some Arsenal fans went to the airport to see Arsenal off because they knew the expedition to Moscow would not be easy.

The most popular hope is a triumphant return from Moscow.
