Chapter 113: Three Kills Against Chelsea?
Time passed little by little, and Dembe's training at Arsenal was also extremely fulfilling.
During Arteta's special training, his physical fitness has also been steadily increasing. With a customized diet, he has great motivation to train every day.
Of course, this is all based on the overall atmosphere at Arsenal.
Here, even the main players are very motivated to train.
Even sometimes, many main players will secretly practice more.
Dembe has seen Giroud training his shooting skills more than once, bathing in the early morning sunshine.
Under the night lights, Wilshere circled the pole alone at the training ground, etc.
These Arsenal's main players are so motivated to train, let alone the substitutes.
Even Odegaard, although this guy loves games, he doesn't spend much time playing them.
Instead, it was very hard training.
There is a public court in front of Odegaard's home, and this guy will go there to train alone in his spare time.
In this atmosphere, how could Dembelai be lazy?
Two weeks flew by in a blink of an eye.
Arteta handed a fitness report to Mourinho.
"Dembe's physical fitness is up to standard."
Mourinho nodded, he didn't even glance at the report but put it on the other side.
This is based on trust in Arteta.
During this period of cooperation, Mourinho also knew that Arteta is a person who pursues details and perfection.
He wouldn't lie about this.
"So, which game will he play in?"
Arteta is still curious.
After all, Dembe has completed two rounds of games since joining.
Dembe did not even make his debut.
For this reason, he seems to know how Mourinho arranges it.
"Next game!"
Mourinho replied succinctly.
Arteta was stunned for a moment.
"Next game? I remember the next game is against Chelsea, right?"
Mourinho nodded; "That's right!"
Arteta grinned: "We eliminated Chelsea in the EFL Cup, and now they must be thinking about revenge. Isn't the pressure of this game too much?"
Arteta believes that Dembe should be given a more relaxed environment. He should gain some confidence and play more relaxedly in the first game.
Mourinho raised his head: "Don't forget, we are only on loan for half a year. I don't have time to watch him grow slowly, and we don't need to train him. He needs to find a way to become our immediate combat force."
Arteta was silent for a moment.
Mourinho is right, but sometimes it is a bit unhuman.
At least during this period of contact, Arteta felt that Dembele was an outstanding and valuable person.
Seeing Arteta's silence, Mourinho suddenly said: "Dembe or Saka, which one do you choose?"
Hearing this, Arteta opened his mouth.
No matter how good and talented Dembe is.
But after all, it’s not as good as our own!
This is completely optional.
"Just understand, go back and make arrangements, but don't tell anyone!"
Mourinho waved his hand.
Arteta turned around and left.
As for Chelsea, head coach Sarri is under a lot of pressure.
This pressure comes from the club, but more from the fans.
Although Chelsea is currently in the European theater with fourth place in the standings and has performed quite well in the Europa League.
Although they were eliminated from the EFL Cup, compared to the Europa League, this is just a small shrimp.
But even though Sarri's performance in leading the team is pretty good, his skills and tactics still cannot win the love of Chelsea fans.
He even suffered abuse from fans at home.
Yes!
Chelsea fans don't like Sarri.
In other words, they don't like Sarri's style of football.
They want a more ferocious, brave, and enjoyable game.
Rather than being beaten by Chelsea in the EFL Cup.
That game was precisely the reason why Chelsea fans broke the defense.
After all, they played so poorly, almost everyone in the field was crushed, and there was no chance at all.
Counting the first half of the season, they have lost to Arsenal twice.
In this case, Sarri was under a lot of pressure.
His problems will become even more acute if they lose to Arsenal again at the Emirates Stadium.
But who can say that Arsenal will definitely win at the Emirates Stadium?
This is an extremely difficult game.
And bathed in this atmosphere, the time came for the game day.
Arsenal plays Chelsea at home.
New and old grudges, the defeats in the first two confrontations have already made Chelsea fans angry.
They feel like they're going to go crazy if they can't find a foothold here.
But what was desperate was that they lost the ball just five minutes into the game.
Giroud carried David Luiz on his back, turned around and shot angrily.
This goal was completely the product of confrontation, and it was also a crushing blow in terms of ability.
It can be said that David Luiz is completely unable to compete with Giroud.
In fact, David Luiz was almost fucked by Giroud in both games this season.
In the camera, David Luiz has his hands on his hips and his head lowered, looking dejected.
Obviously after three games, his performance can be described in one sentence.
‘Very bad’.
These three games have caused David Luiz's value to drop again and again, and Chelsea has even cut off the contract renewal arrangement. The implication can be imagined.
Faced with such a predicament, there is not much that David Luiz can do.
Sarri on the sidelines was still shouting loudly, trying to motivate the players.
But the Chelsea players were all downcast, and even Hazard was extremely negative.
In the stands, a small number of Chelsea fans who were traveling with the team were shouting curses.
They are using the rudest language to attack Sarri. They think the reason why Chelsea played so poorly is that Sarri is the problem.
He was completely unable to motivate the players.
What a glorious scene Chelsea was under Mourinho. Even if they win against Chelsea, they will still knock off one of your front teeth.
Look at it now, everyone has become a soft persimmon.
Arsenal can do whatever they want.
Even Mourinho himself shook his head more than once while watching the game on the field.
Chelsea had so many problems, more than he could count.
Although their two cooperations ended in an unhappy way, Mourinho still has feelings for the team he coached for the first time in the five major leagues.
For this reason, watching Chelsea's end, he also had mixed feelings in his heart.
At this time, he somewhat understood the retired Ferguson.
Perhaps among the coaches who have retired, Wenger is the most comfortable.
When Wenger was coaching, Arsenal won the Champions League. After that, due to physical reasons, Wenger retired quickly, leaving Arsenal with a perfect memory.
When Wenger left, he also chose Mourinho to coach Arsenal.
In the end, Wenger's choice was proven correct.
Although Mourinho overturned everything in Wenger's era, it was all worth it.
"Conceding the goal in the first five minutes, Chelsea's defense has too many problems. It's not even a problem with the defense anymore. There are big problems overall, especially when they faced Arsenal, their performance was... It’s going to get really bad!”
"I don't know what causes this, but it's what it is!"
Andy Gray shook his head.
He felt Chelsea were a little afraid of Arsenal.
After all, in recent seasons, Arsenal and Chelsea have won too many games.
This also caused Chelsea to naturally have a great sense of oppression when facing Arsenal.
London used to be extremely lively.
Arsenal, Tottenham, and Chelsea were in a melee and strangled together.
But now, with Arsenal's outstanding performance, the London war has become a thing of the past, a bit like Arsenal's dominance.
Yes!
Arsenal are dominating London and they are dominating the Premier League too!
In the arena, the game restarts.
After Arsenal scored, they still did not give up their counterattack.
Facing Chelsea's passive defense, Arsenal's forward penetration became even sharper.
He even forced Chelsea into the penalty area and huddled up to defend.
Sarri is a head coach who advocates offense, but at this time Chelsea has no time to attack and cannot defend.
Seeing the situation on the field, Mourinho turned to look at Dembe and said;
"Warm up and prepare to play in the second half. I'll give you half-time to express yourself. It's up to you whether you can grasp it!"
After listening to Mourinho's words, Dembele suddenly stood up.
His chance has come!
And he will surely hold it firmly!
