Chapter 21: Transforming Oscar's Template

Arsenal's morale is extremely high after three consecutive wins in the Champions League.

But the challenges facing them are still not over. Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United are eyeing them covetously in the league.

The internal struggles in the Premier League are extremely severe, just like Arsenal at present.

After completing the Champions League group stage, they will have to fight Chelsea and other league powerhouses without stopping.

This devilish schedule makes Arsenal fans feel distressed, but at the same time they are also gritting their teeth to pay attention to the next game.

The tenth round of the Premier League, Arsenal vs. Chelsea.

Mourinho, Wenger, Fabregas, and Lukay all pushed this game to a climax.

Wenger's winning rate is not high when facing Mourinho. Many people say that Mourinho's defensive counterattack is a natural counter to Wenger's passing and control system.

Now, Mourinho has settled in Stamford Bridge again, which is an extremely strong opponent for Arsenal.

At the same time, Fabregas's joining has made Chelsea even more powerful.

After Mourinho abandoned Spanish midfielder Mata, he began to carry out a series of reforms in the team.

First, Fabregas put on Chelsea's No. 4 jersey and returned to the Premier League, taking over the task of connecting and organizing left by Mata.

At the same time, Mourinho transformed Oscar again. He hoped that Oscar could play more actively and aggressively.

So far, the effect is still good.

However, Oscar, who is currently in the transformation period, can only become Fabregas's substitute.

At the Chelsea training base, the players are playing an internal training match.

In the stadium, you can see Oscar running actively.

Oscar ran very hard, with almost no rest time, which also caused the pace of the game to speed up a lot.

If you look closely at Oscar's expression, you can read a trace of unwillingness, helplessness and other emotions.

"Stop!"

The game was called off.

Next to the training ground, a middle-aged man with a stern face waved to Oscar. It was Mourinho.

Seeing the coach calling him, Oscar pursed his lips and walked over.

"Hey!"

Mourinho put his arm around Oscar's shoulders and said, "I think you misunderstood me. I asked you to play more actively, not to run meaninglessly. You need to play more targeted, intercept! Steal! Kill the opponent's attack at the key position, understand?"

Oscar looked at Mourinho, pursed his lips and said, "I understand, let me learn the way of playing of Arsenal's No. 4."

Hearing this, Mourinho raised his eyebrows slightly, patted the other's shoulder, and smiled, "I'm not asking you to imitate anyone, everyone is a unique individual, but now that guy is a good template, isn't it?"

Oscar nodded with a bit of depression.

Although Mourinho did not admit it, he knew very well that this madman just wanted to play like Arsenal's No. 4.

If it were another head coach, he might have resisted.

But Mourinho can't!

Not to mention the club, no one in the locker room supported him to fight Mourinho.

Especially veteran players like Lampard and Terry, who are so close to Mourinho that they will not support him at all.

For this reason, he can only nod and let the other party transform him.

This is also the reason why he can still stay in Chelsea.

However, Oscar doesn't like this, and he is very unhappy playing now.

Why must he imitate the Arsenal No. 4 to play football?

Even if Mourinho likes that Chinese, he is not completely without advantages.

However, Oscar understands that in Mourinho's lineup, perhaps that Chinese is the key figure.

However, Mourinho can't get that Chinese, so he can only transform himself.

To be honest, Oscar is not good at stealing and intercepting.

And he has no talent, so he can only work hard.

But this thing can't be trained at all.

But Oscar can't give up.

Because he knows very well that Chelsea now has gradually lost his place.

If the transformation fails, he is likely to leave here.

So, he needs to change!

But he can't see any hope!

It's all because of that Chinese!

At the Kearney training base, Lekai sneezed for no reason.

He sat on the sidelines against the fence to stretch, and there was a flexibility training subject in the evening.

Recently, Lekai's training tasks have been reduced a lot, and more of them are carried out according to the scientific training methods specified by Patres.

In the past, Lekai was too anxious and had some reckless attitudes, which led to injuries.

Although there was a reason for being eager to prove himself, it was indeed a bit too reckless.

Now Lekai mainly focuses on maintaining his physical condition, not doing too much training, and improving his physical fitness steadily and effectively.

As the saying goes, slow work makes fine work, he can't mess up his body.

At this time, Cazorla walked past him, and Lekai grabbed the other's shorts.

"Come here! Stretch together!"

Cazorla sat down with a bitter face.

Lekai said unhappily: "Don't think it's useless. If you get injured, it may ruin your career in advance."

Cazorla almost had his limbs amputated because of injuries. Although he survived, he can no longer play football like before.

It can be said that injuries ruined this genius.

Lekai remembered that Cazorla had a problem with his Achilles tendon, and he didn't know how to remind him, so he could only force Cazorla to exercise more and improve his physical fitness.

Although Cazorla always has a grimace on his face, he will not refuse as long as Lucai proposes it.

The two sit facing each other and stretch the muscles and ligaments in various parts of the legs.

Cazorla glanced at Lucky and said cautiously: "Next game, we will play Chelsea."

Lucky nodded: "I know."

Cazorla grinned and said nothing.

In fact, in this game, Lucky was still under a lot of pressure.

After all, the former Arsenal No. 4 Cesc Fabregas was in the opponent's lineup.

And he has performed extremely well in recent games, currently leading the assist list with 4 assists.

Even under the exaggeration of the media, many people called this game a ‘battle between No. 4’.

Cazorla wanted to help Lucky, but he didn't know how to help. He could only say seriously, "I will try my best to help you win the game."

Lucky was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Not for me, but for Arsenal!"

Lucky shrugged; "Personally, it doesn't matter to me, as long as I can win the game."

On the other side, Wenger was also looking at Lucky.

He knows very well that this upcoming 10th round of the Premier League is special for Lucky.

Especially after he wears the No. 4 jersey.

However, Wenger was not too worried.

After all, Lucai has used his performance many times to prove his mentality and ability in big scenes.

Wenger does not think Lucky will be defeated by this pressure.

On the contrary, pressure will only accelerate Lucky's growth.

November 3, 2013, the 10th round of the Premier League.

Arsenal vs Chelsea.

The starting lineups of both teams have appeared on the big screen.

Arsenal (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Szczesny.

Defenders; Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Vermaelen.

Midfielder: Arteta, Lucky, Rosicky, Cazorla, Walcott.

Forward: Suarez.

Chelsea (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Cech.

Defenders: Azpilicueta, Terry, Cahill, Ivanovic.

Midfielder: Lampard, Ramirez, Hazard, Fabregas, Willian.

Forward: Torres.

When the starting lineups of both sides appeared on the big screen, and when Arsenal fans saw that person's name, the audience booed wildly.

The angry boos could be heard even in the players' tunnel.

During the preparation stage, Lucky turned his head and looked at the Chelsea formation on the other side.

Fabregas's expression looked very indifferent, but his pursed lips from time to time showed that he was not so indifferent.

Lucky didn't pay too much attention.

He understands that there are many things that cannot be avoided.

Even though Lucky behaves very low-key, he is still put on the table by the media for some reasons.

Just like this game.

In fact, this is the first time Lucky and Fabregas have met.

This guy left when Lucky first came to Arsenal.

Therefore, Lucky does not know what kind of person Fabregas is.

But the two have a related number '4'.

So even if Lucai doesn't want to, he will be pulled to the front.

The confrontation between the old and new Arsenal No. 4s at the Emirates Stadium was the centerpiece of the media hype.

Both Lucky and Fabregas have attracted countless attention, and their performance will eventually be promoted and criticized.

If you don’t want to be criticized, then you can only win the game!
