Chapter 4: Starting From Physical Fitness

, the latest chapter will be updated the fastest!

After entering mid-July, all major clubs have started pre-season training.

Arsenal also issued a gathering order on July 18, and all arrived at the training ground before the 20th.

At present, the preparation time given to Arsenal is still relatively sufficient, of course, if the Community Shield is not taken into account.

As the double champion of the Premier League and the FA Cup, according to the rules of the Community Shield, Arsenal will face the Premier League runner-up, that is, Manchester City, in this game.

Arsenal and Manchester City will play this game similar to the Premier League season opener on July 31, which is the last day of July.

This season, Arsenal has increased its schedule.

In addition to the five championships last season, as the Champions League champions, they will also play the European Super Cup against the Europa League champions in mid-August, and prepare for the Club World Cup in Qatar in mid-December.

However, based on the advantage of the Champions League champions, Arsenal only needs to start playing in the semi-finals.

This is also a privilege of the Champions League champions.

But even so, this season Arsenal can compete for the championship in seven branches.

For Arsenal, they want to go to the next level this season.

The five-time champion has brought Arsenal to a historical high, but the ambition of the coaching staff or Mourinho has not subsided, but is moving towards the "dynasty".

Yes!

Mourinho hopes that the Arsenal he has built can become a team that dominates the European level.

Not just one season!

But multiple seasons!

It is obviously not easy to achieve this goal.

On the one hand, it is the players' state problem under multi-line operations.

Despite the experience of last season, no one can guarantee whether Arsenal will have any accidents this season.

The second is the psychological problem.

You know, after Arsenal won the Champions League for the first time, they suffered from the champion syndrome, and the state was sluggish in the second season.

It can be understood that the players have reached the expected goal in their hearts, and with an inflated mentality, they do not have much motivation to win.

For this reason, Arsenal was very difficult that season.

The reason why Mourinho gathered early was to train and run-in, but more to explore the players' state.

If you can play, you will be wild. It will be bad if you can't control yourself when the season starts.

The two-day gathering period is not short.

Starting from the 19th, some nearby Arsenal players have begun to return to London and report.

Until the afternoon of the 20th, all the main players of Arsenal's first team, including substitutes, except for a few injured players, have gathered.

Some new players also came to the training base with different mindsets.

At the beginning, the captain naturally led them into the locker room to avoid embarrassment.

Eriksson and De Ligt were already waiting in the coaching room.

Not long after, Lucky walked in.

"These two are up to you."

Mourinho pointed at Eriksson and De Ligt standing in front of him.

Lucky nodded, and then turned to look at the two.

Compared with the high-spirited De Ligt, Eriksson's expression was a little awkward.

After all, he joined the former mortal enemy and did a lot of things to mock Arsenal fans.

Although they were each for their own team, Eriksson was a little uneasy now that he had turned to someone else.

He didn't know how Arsenal would deal with his problem.

At this moment, Lucky walked over.

"Welcome to Arsenal. If you come here for the championship, then I can tell you that you made the right decision."

After that, Lucky shook hands with De Ligt and Eriksson.

Lucky's friendly attitude also made Eriksson slowly relieved.

"There are no big rules in the Arsenal locker room, and there will be no factional struggles or bullying incidents. Everyone here gathers for the championship. We have completed a crazy season last season, but we are not satisfied with it, so you joined."

Walking on the way to the locker room, Lucky briefly introduced Arsenal and their goals for the new season.

"Eriksson!"

Lucky suddenly said, which made Eriksson nervous instantly.

"This season, you will most likely be the starting central midfielder. We want you to play well on the offensive end. I will help you integrate into the team as soon as possible, and you must show a better side."

Eriksson has some bad habits when playing football, which is intolerable to Lekai.

Dare to fight and fight is the tradition of this Arsenal.

Some things are better to say earlier to avoid some conflicts or misunderstandings at that time.

Hearing this, Eriksson also nodded and said seriously: "I understand, I joined Arsenal for honor."

Lekai nodded, then looked at De Ligt and said; "Hummels will tell you how to become an excellent central defender. He is a little older, and his physical function and reaction are not as good as yours, but he has a lot of experience. You need to absorb and grow up as soon as possible. I look forward to the day when you become the starter."

De Ligt nodded seriously; "Don't worry, captain!"

Soon, Lekai led the two to the locker room.

The noisy locker room suddenly became quiet.

Unlike others, Eriksen is too familiar with this player. After all, as the core of Tottenham's midfield, this guy has caused a lot of trouble for Arsenal.

And now they have become teammates, which always feels a bit strange.

"I don't think I need to introduce them more. Both of them have played well in the game against us. For this reason, I think you also know that their abilities are enough to be the Gunners!"

After that, Lucky looked up at the time and said; "Today's training content is very simple, and more importantly, the experience."

Lucky smiled and said: "I am looking forward to someone failing the physical examination!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel cold.

They are not Lucky, who arrived at the training base in advance for independent training.

From the beginning of the holiday, they have already started the indulgence mode, and even now their hearts are still wild.

Before Lucky came, some players made an appointment to go to the bar at night.

But judging from Lucky's attitude, it is estimated that there will be no bar today, and if the physical examination fails, they may face individual training.

The individual training of the Arsenal coaching team can be called devil training.

Although the effect is significant, it is also extremely painful during the period.

Ten minutes later, everyone arrived at the medical room for a physical examination.

Lucky was the first to be examined.

"Kai, physical examination A!"

As soon as the voice fell, the whole audience was silent.

Lucky casually took off the stickers of various instruments on his body, then put on a sports vest, turned around and shouted; "Next!"

No one came forward, they frowned slightly.

Compared with a pervert like Lucky, whose physical examination score is always in grade A, they are just scum.

Arsenal's physical examination is divided into four levels: ABCD, so that players' physical condition can be understood more carefully.

B- is already qualified, and B+ is excellent.

Grade A is extremely difficult to achieve, which requires all physical data to be in a saturated state, and Lucky is such a pervert.

Even during the season, Lucky's physical examination score did not drop below grade B.

As everyone hesitated, Giroud finally walked over first.

"Giroud! B-!"

Giroud slowly breathed a sigh of relief. He was glad that he had done some simple training while on vacation, otherwise he would definitely fail the physical examination.

Soon, one after another failed to pass.

"Aubameyang, failed!

"Bellerin, failed!"

"Jimenez, failed!"

"Lukaku, failed!"

Hearing this, the faces of the surrounding coaches suddenly darkened.

Lack of self-discipline is a taboo for players.

And these are the main players. Under the honor of the five-time champion, these guys are too indulgent.

"Eriksen, failed!"

Eriksen was a little flustered.

He felt that his body was well maintained, but why was he still unqualified.

At this time, Lekai said loudly; "New guys don't have to worry about the pass rate. Our physical examination is more stringent. After you complete the systematic training, you will all pass. "

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, including Eriksen.

Immediately, Lucky added: "Except for the new players, the rest of the unqualified players will start special training tomorrow."

After that, Lucky turned to look at Arteta, who stepped forward and said; "Start with physical training!"

Everyone shouted out.

Arsenal's physical training can really make you vomit!
