Chapter 52 Adjustment

Old Trafford became quiet, and Manchester United fans had to admit the facts before them.

They lost again at home to Arsenal.

Although this is no longer a special situation in the past few seasons, it still makes them feel extremely unhappy.

Nowadays, Manchester United fans can only immerse themselves in the glory of the past, because the current Manchester United cannot create honors at all.

This is also what makes them angry.

At the end of the 90-minute game, Arsenal's performance was outstanding.

Although Manchester United equalized the score in the middle, Arsenal still won the game through adjustments in the midfield and performance in the second half.

This is their seventh win of the season and continues their undefeated streak.

Manchester United cannot stop Arsenal's progress, and this also allows Arsenal to maintain its role as the devil of the Premier League.

After leaving Old Trafford Stadium, facing the moonlight at night, the Arsenal players took the high-speed train to London.

Although the UK is a developed country, the popularity of high-speed rail is not high. However, high-speed rail lines are still connected between big cities like London and Manchester.

For this reason, Arsenal players move back and forth more lightly.

In the night carriage, the players had already begun to fall asleep soundly.

After fierce competitions, their bodies were extremely tired, and they felt sleepy as soon as they got in the car.

Lucky also fell asleep quickly, until he heard a sizzling sound next to him.

Lucky's eyes opened slightly and he squinted.

He saw Giroud next to him carefully holding the sneakers, applying dry brushing paste evenly on the uppers, and then gently wiping them with a soft-bristled brush.

When Lucky saw this scene, he couldn't help showing a disgusted expression and said, "Hey! This is a public place, you should go home and do it again!"

Giroud turned to look at Lucky, and he pointed at the sneakers; "It's tasteless, smell it!"

As he was about to bring the sneakers closer, Lucai pushed the sneakers out and said, "If you want me to throw the sneakers out, you can try."

Jirou sneered and said, "It really doesn't stink."

Lucky rolled his eyes angrily and said, "So, why are you cleaning your shoes if you don't sleep?"

"This is my daily consciousness." Giroud smiled and said; "I found that as long as I keep cleaning my shoes, I will always be able to score goals."

Lucky: "You can choose to go home and try again!"

Giroud: "But I want to finish my time during work hours and go home to spend time with my wife and children."

Lucky said; "Okay, I'll change positions."

Giroud quickly waved his hand and said, "Okay, I won't do it anymore!"

Lucky then sat down again.

At this time, he was no longer sleepy. He arched his body towards the window, tilted his head towards the window, and looked outside.

It was dark outside and nothing could be seen, only the reflection from inside the high-speed train imprinted on the glass.

After watching for a while, Lucai turned around and said: "Recently, you have been in very good condition. If there is any way to make you feel more comfortable, you can do it."

While Giroud is in a hot state, Lucky wants to rest as much as possible.

After all, the rest time is only now. After entering the later stage of the season, he will have basically no rest time.

"It's good now, it would be better if you could put the ball at my feet instead of making me chase it."

Giroud said.

Lucai turned around and said in surprise, "You don't like to measure in advance?"

Giroud nodded: "Yes, this will affect some of my choices. After the ball is passed to my feet, I can have more choices. I can split the ball or shoot by myself."

Having said that, Giroud continued: "I have scored a lot of goals recently, and for this reason I will be more concerned about by the opponent. They have become more defensive on me, so sometimes, I should use the method of distributing the ball again. divert some attention."

"It's true that I'm in good shape, but if I want to keep it up, it will only make the opponent's defense more confused. Taking the initiative to distribute the ball is a good choice, although it will divide my shooting opportunities. Going out a little bit makes me more stable.”

Lucky nodded, that's the truth.

"Try more during training matches, and communicate with others."

Giroud nodded.

After a while, the lights in the carriage became a little brighter, signaling that they were about to arrive at the station.

Sure enough, Mourinho stood up from the front row and shouted: "Okay, everyone, get up and prepare your luggage, it's time for us to go home!"

Hearing this, the Arsenal players who were sleeping rubbed their sleepy eyes one by one and woke up with yawns.

They took out their luggage one by one, put it on their backs and walked out of the high-speed rail station in an orderly manner.

When they walked out of the high-speed rail station, there were also many Arsenal fans present.

These are more tourists, they don't mean to wait for Arsenal here, but when they see Arsenal players passing by them.

They stopped one by one and began to applaud fiercely.

They encouraged the Gunners to play a wonderful game in this way.

The recognition and applause from the fans brought smiles to the faces of the players.

Amid fierce applause, the players boarded the bus and left the airport.

They arrived at the training base around 9 o'clock.

Mourinho let the players go directly. In his opinion, the players were already very tired and exhausted from the long journey, so they should have a good rest.

It is also possible to review and summarize such things the next day.

For this reason, the Arsenal players disbanded on the spot. They came to the parking lot one by one and drove away.

The next day was a rare day off in a week.

But for Lekai, he still had a lot of schedule.

After getting up early for a morning run, Lekai was invited to the London Youth Football League to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the opening ceremony.

This event was hosted by Arsenal, and a representative person was needed for this.

And no one was more suitable than Lekai.

In the morning, Lekai watched the game for half a day after the opening ceremony, and then left at noon.

He did not go home directly, but came to the training base.

The training atmosphere in the Arsenal team is extremely strong. Even if no one asks, many players will take the initiative to practice more. To put it bluntly, they are a bit "rolled".

This is the case for young players such as Saka, Odegaard, De Ligt.

The same is true for old players such as Buffon and Monreal.

When Lekai arrived at the training base, he saw that a 7V7 team match had been organized in the training ground.

Monreal also saw Lekai and waved with a smile: "Hey! Kai, are you interested in playing?"

Lekai smiled and pointed to the equipment room and said: "Today's task is to lift weights!"

Monreal shrugged and said; "Well, this is really a boring project."

Lekai turned and walked into the equipment room. After changing his clothes, he began to advance from warm-up exercises to light warm-up exercises, and gradually began to increase the weight for himself.

Recently, Lekai felt that his body had declined a little.

It was not a decline in state, but a decline in confrontation.

In the confrontation with the opponent, Lekai felt that he was at a disadvantage.

Just like the collision with Maguire.

In order to maintain the flexibility of his body, Lekai transformed from the earliest muscle knots to an all-round physical fitness, but the various values ​​of this balanced body are difficult to adjust.

From time to time, slight adjustments are needed, but recently, Lekai has not been able to take care of these in order to recover from his injuries.

This also inevitably leads to some decline in strength of the body.

The only problem to be solved is "training".

Lekai's heavy breathing and the huge noise of heavy equipment landing began to be heard in the equipment room.

From time to time, Lekai would roar loudly, which would help the body become more excited and better achieve the effect of exercise.

Of course, Lekai's training is more about explosive power.

He is not a bodybuilder and does not need such thick muscle dimensions. What he needs is strength and explosiveness.

For this reason, the basis of training movements is mainly explosive.

For example, a squat.

After squatting and standing up, Lekai also has to connect with a take-off movement, and the movement frequency must be fast.

Especially after the thigh feels pressure, it is necessary to connect with the jump immediately for further stimulation.

After a while, the thigh showed some signs of numbness.

This is a sign of impending exhaustion. In order to protect himself, Lekai put the barbell on the safety device and started his first exhaustion training.
