Chapter 496 Boss, I Hope You Don’t Blame Me
In the southwest of Hertfordshire, London, there is a top training base called Kearney Training Base.
It covers an area of 143 acres and is a 45-minute drive from the Emirates Stadium.
This stadium is the training base of Arsenal Football Club.
There are a total of ten standard training grounds here, each of which has underground drainage facilities and automatic sprinkler systems, and several of them have underground heating facilities.
The Arsenal First Team, Arsenal Reserves and Arsenal Youth Team all train daily at this top European training ground.
This morning, this stadium just finished a team training match. Chen Tao's performance in the game was eye-catching. He made two passes and two shots, which drew applause from his teammates and coaches.
After the training match, Wenger arranged an indoor tactical discussion. The subject of today's discussion is the quarter-finals of the Champions League against Monaco in the middle of next week.
The players sat in the house, basking in the sun to relieve the fatigue of the game, and listened to Wenger's explanation of tactics.
The projection screen shows Monaco's recent games, especially the championship games.
Wenger stood in front of everyone and chatted slowly: "In the last few games, we can see that Monaco has made some progress. They have more game experience when facing dense defense. Recently, Monaco is not dominant in European competitions, so they often face the opponent's attack. Their defense performance is very good, but their offense has many shortcomings."
"But through these few games, we can clearly see that their midfield attack has made great progress! For example, in terms of offensive methods, it has become more abundant. Especially the joining of Beckham has given them more choices in set-piece tactics. This opponent is not easy to deal with."
After Wenger said this, Nasri who was sitting below was a little unconvinced: "It's just that we performed well in Ligue [-], so what? We are a strong team in the Premier League and a strong European team! I don't think they can get cheap in the game!"
The young Cesc Fabregas also nodded: "Yes, they didn't meet any top European teams in the Champions League. The only one with good strength, Manchester City, is not at their best. So until now, although Monaco is favored by many people, they have not encountered a real test."
Van Persie also agreed: "That's right! Next week when we play against Monaco, we will beat them back to their original form, so that they don't have the illusion of the Champions League!"
The Arsenal players nodded in agreement.
Wenger didn't express his opinion, he looked at Chen Tao: "Chen Tao, what do you think about next week's game?"
Chen Tao, who had been silent all this time, slowly raised his head. He looked at Wenger, who looked expectant.He looked at the teammates around him again, their faces were full of disdain for Monaco.
Chen Tao hesitated for a moment, but still said what was in his heart: "Professors, guys, I have some different opinions about next week's Champions League match. Everyone is right. Monaco has indeed not experienced the test of top teams, but this is not a reason to underestimate them. In the current Monaco team, there are almost all top stars in every position."
"Goalkeeper Hildebrand is the best goalkeeper in the Bundesliga and Ligue [-] for three consecutive years. The defense Shanghai Ince, Ujfalusi, Kompany and Sun Jihai are all players who have proven their strength in the top league; the midfielder Beckham, Flamini and Ljungberg are definitely the top level of the Premier League; and the combination of the three forwards Recoba, Gudjohnsen and Saviola are also the top strikers of the giants. And on the bench, there are good young players and experienced veterans. "
"From this point of view, Monaco is definitely worthy of the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Besides, they also have a talented coach, my former boss Yun Sheng. Not to mention his coaching level, he deserves our attention based on his three-year debut and the experience of winning three top five league titles."
After Chen Tao said this, everyone fell silent.
Wenger nodded: "Guys, I agree with Chen Tao's words. Monaco is definitely more difficult to deal with than everyone imagined. Although we have been regulars in the Champions League for the past few years, we have often capsized in the knockout rounds. This time we did not draw teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern. This is good news for us, so we must play steadily and go all out to kill Monaco and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League!"
"And during this period of training, I will conduct targeted training, especially in the face of set-piece defense, offensive and defensive transitions, etc., and focus on training. Chen Tao, next, please talk to everyone about the technical characteristics of each player in the Monaco team, and where you think their weaknesses are."
"Good professor, then I will talk about my own opinion." Chen Tao nodded firmly, the Arsenal No. [-] jersey on his body looked very energetic under the sunlight.
Boss, I hope you don't blame me...
At the same time, at the training ground in Monaco, Yun Sheng was talking with Beckham.
In fact, when it comes to age, Beckham is older than Yunsheng, but Yunsheng is the coach after all, and Beckham also does as the Romans do, calling Yunsheng "boss" together with everyone.
"David, I want to thank you for this time."
"Boss, train hard and play hard. This is what I should do. I can't talk about gratitude."
"I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about him." Yun Sheng pointed to Wang Chuhe on the field.
At this time, Wang Chuhe made a free kick from a set kick, and the ball went straight to the dead corner, which won a lot of applause.
"David, during this time he saw that you were often with Wang Chuhe, often guiding him in training and games, and Wang Chuhe has made great progress in free kicks and passing. Thank you for being so enthusiastic about helping me guide the young people in the team."
Beckham smiled: "Boss, we are all teammates, and we should help each other. Besides, we are 16 years apart in grades. Seeing him, I seem to see myself. And he is very talented and will definitely achieve something in the future. I am also very happy to be his guide in football for a period of time."
Yun Sheng nodded with emotion and looked at him: "David, being able to rent you for half a year is the most correct thing I did in 2010. Thank you for everything you did for the team's comeback."
Beckham didn't speak, he looked at Wang Chuhe on the court with complicated thoughts.
If one day you can join Manchester United, put on the Red Devils jersey and play at Old Trafford, it must be a win-win thing!
However, Yunsheng and Monaco suffered.
Yun Sheng also expressed his gratitude to me. If he knew that I was helping Manchester United to poach his people, would he work hard with me?
Coach Yunsheng, boss, I hope you don't blame me...
