Chapter 24 Transfer of Organizational Rights
Arsenal defeated Chelsea 1:0 at home, defending their home honors and defeating Mourinho's Chelsea.
This also allowed Arsenal to make strides forward in the standings.
Arsenal are currently second in the standings, with Liverpool at the top.
The two teams have the same number of points, but Liverpool's goal difference is greater.
Since the beginning of this season, Liverpool has begun to exert its strength and has great ambitions to return to the "Instanbul Night" posture.
After years of decline, Liverpool are starting to explode again.
Coutinho, Sterling, and Sturridge in the team performed even better, adding great vitality to the Red Army's forward line.
Old captain Gerrard still sits in the midfield, and the Red Army has shown strong competitiveness this season.
Arsenal and Liverpool are currently the most favorable contenders for the half-time championship.
The two teams are about to face off in the league.
Round 11 of the Premier League, Liverpool VS Arsenal.
Following Chelsea, Arsenal will face Liverpool away from home.
On November 5, Lucky rented a small villa not far from the training base with the help of his agent Barnett.
The entire community has a strict security system, which also prevents stalking and harassment by media reporters.
At the Kearney training base, after the day's training, Lucky announced; "Guys, come to my house to get together tonight, and I will throw a barbecue party for you!"
Faced with Lucky's invitation, the Arsenal players naturally agreed with excitement.
Today's Lucky has a high status in the locker room. Although he is the second captain, he has formed an equal stage with Vermaelen.
Many people believe that the Arsenal dressing room will belong to Lucky from now on.
After announcing the party, Lucky approached Vermaelen again and asked for the contact information for the delivery of barbecue.
And with the help of Vermaelen, everyone was done.
At 6 o'clock in the evening, everyone gathered in the courtyard of the villa rented by Lucky and started the party.
During the party, Lucky shouted with a smile; "Newbies, eat more, you need to work harder and find one or two main players!"
Hearing this, both the main player and the substitute showed a wry smile.
For the main players, the hard-working attitude of the newcomers keeps them in a constant state of tension, fearing that they will be benched one day.
The substitutes were depressed. They had worked hard enough.
But the main players performed so well that they never got a good chance.
The best among the substitutes was Flamini.
But this guy is no longer Lucky's substitute, but Arteta's substitute.
This was arranged by Wenger.
This arrangement also relieved Flamini.
After all, looking at Lucky who performed well, he felt a tightness in his chest.
The most important thing is that Lucky is still in the stage of increasing goals.
The gap will only get bigger and bigger, which makes him unable to see any hope at all.
Fortunately, Wenger changed his position and his main opponent was replaced by Arteta.
Otherwise, Flamini feels that his mentality will jump sooner or later!
Arteta came to Lucky with a skewer of meat and said, "The professor came to see me today."
Lucky was stunned for a moment, then showed an awkward smile.
In fact, not only Arteta, but Wenger also approached Lucky.
"In the future, the organizational power will be transferred to you little by little, so be ready at any time!" Arteta's tone was calm.
This is likely to be a process of core migration, which means Arteta's status has been shaken.
In this regard, Arteta smiled and said; "I have thought about this problem. I am old, and sooner or later there will be such a day, and you are improving very quickly. Sooner or later, Arsenal will let you serve as a core player, and at the same time rebuild a team around you. A brand new tactical system!”
Lucai pondered for a moment and said, "The professor is a little impatient."
"No!" Arteta shook his head and said; "The professor's decision is right. Organization is not made through training. You need to constantly sharpen it in actual combat."
Lucai pondered for a moment and said, "Thank you, Mikel!"
Lucky is very clear that the change of organizational rights will be accompanied by Arteta losing his original tactical status, and may even become a substitute.
This is a necessary process!
Arteta smiled, waved his hand and said, "No! In fact, I'm very glad to come to Arsenal. Here, I feel a lot of new things."
Arteta sat next to Lucky and sighed; "I am not a strong person! This can be felt from my playing style. When faced with setbacks and failures, I will always escape. I’m not that strong inside! But I don’t need to think about these issues now.”
Arteta smiled; "Because someone always yells at me loudly!"
Lucky touched his nose awkwardly and said, "I'm also impatient."
"Keep it up!" Arteta laughed; "This is a good habit! There should be communication on the court, and there must be a voice that constantly tells the players what to do."
Lucky grinned and said, "I sometimes reflect on whether I should be more gentle."
Hearing this, Arteta suddenly laughed out loud, which made Lucai a little confused.
Arteta's laughter attracted the attention of others, who turned to look over.
"Is there anything funny?"
"what happened?"
Facing his teammates' inquiries, Arteta laughed and pointed at Lucky; "He said he wanted to be gentler!"
Hearing this, the Arsenal players were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?!"
Lucky couldn't help but get angry.
Vermaelen smiled and waved his hand, "Kai! You don't have to change. I really can't imagine you being gentle."
Chamberlain was even more funny, "How can you be gentle? You're forcing us to laugh with a stick? You're too cruel!"
Lucky said depressedly, "Hey! I'm not as bad as you!"
Everyone laughed even louder.
Lucky shook his head helplessly.
He didn't understand what was so funny about this.
Perhaps, his gentle appearance was more impactful to these people.
After Arteta laughed enough, he put his arm around Lucky's shoulders and said, "Man, you don't have to make any changes. It's good now. Someone must scare the people in the locker room so that they can reach a consensus at the critical moment."
"What if it's wrong?" Lucky said.
Arteta: "Even if it's wrong, you have to execute it. This is a leader!"
Lucky grinned and waved his hand.
"Forget it! I'm not a leader."
Arteta smiled and didn't respond.
Although Lucky was denying, his existence was getting closer to the "leader".
The most direct proof is the current Arsenal's playing style.
In the past, Arsenal could not be called a hardworking team. Although it could not be called lazy, it was still a certain distance away from hardworking.
But now Arsenal is different.
Twice a day, five kilometers has become the norm. This is not a training course, but Arsenal's first-team players will silently execute it.
The reason is simple. Lucky has to do five kilometers twice a day.
This is the leading role!
And under this leading role, whether it is training or competition, Arsenal players are always running.
This is something that Arsenal didn't have before.
But now the Gunners have made up for a lot of things with constant running.
And all these changes are due to Lucky!
At about 7 o'clock, the party was over.
Lucky sent his teammates out one by one.
The next day, at the Colney training base, Arsenal began to try a new tactical system.
In the entire tactical system, the midfield changed.
Cazorla, Luka, Flamini (Arteta).
In this midfield, Wenger gave Luka a great degree of freedom and highly concentrated the rights of organization and ball passing.
Luka got more frequent touches.
At the same time, Wenger also tried some changes in Luka's position.
For example, he moved forward a little bit and stood parallel to Cazorla.
But the result was not very good.
Because of the forward position, Luka needed to retreat to receive the ball, and at this time there were many more situations of holding the ball with his back.
In this case, Luka's ability was not enough to complete the escape and pass.
Despite several good performances, it still could not be transformed into normal.
For this reason, Wenger still put Luka back to the position of defensive midfielder.
In this position, Luka's performance was better.
On the one hand, he was familiar with this position. In the defensive midfielder position, Luka's defense + offense can be done very well.
In terms of organization, he also played well without interference from the opponent.
On the other hand, Lekay launched an attack while completing the steal.
This greatly accelerated Arsenal's attack-defense transition speed.
It even evolved into a kind of "metronome", which was a surprise to Wenger.
Of course, there are problems.
For example, Lekay passed forward too frequently, causing Arsenal to make many rash attacks and even almost lost the ball.
But overall, it's still good!
However, Wenger will not try this at this stage, after all, the devil's schedule is not over yet.
In the next game, they will go to Anfield to face Liverpool.
The Red Army swept away the previous fatigue this season and showed a terrifying offensive ability.
Sturridge, Sterling, Coutinho, Gerrard and other players broke out with a strong attitude and led the league standings.
Of course, Arsenal's performance was equally wonderful.
Currently, Arsenal and Liverpool are in the top and runner-up of the Premier League standings.
This game is likely to determine the future direction of the two teams.
At the same time, this game is also a challenge for Arsenal.
They need to beat Liverpool, who are in their prime at the famous Anfield.
But no matter what the result is, this game is destined to be the focus of the Premier League!
On November 8, Wenger led Arsenal to the port city in northwest England, where they will challenge the Red Army Liverpool!
