Episode [112]: You Need to Be More Ruthless!

It is only 315 kilometers from London to Leeds, and it only takes about three hours to drive, but the Arsenal team came to Leeds one day in advance to prepare for the game against Leeds United.

Although the outside world is very pessimistic about Leeds United, Arsene Wenger is still very cautious because he knows that Leeds United is not a good team to play.

Even Arsene Wenger himself didn't know when he thought Leeds United was so important. Is it because of that damn madman? Maybe it is!

That lunatic is really not simple at all. It's not a day or two since this guy poached his corners. This guy's vision is really good and scary. What's even more frightening is that this guy's coaching skills are really good.

You can see that the tactics of Leeds United in recent seasons seem to be the same. The old tactics are all defensive counterattacks. But Leeds United's tactics are very different every year, especially in the details. Every season there will be a certain level of sublimation, which is hard to figure out.

You can see that the players of Leeds United are really not in good shape this season, but what is their current performance, fourth in the league, only one point behind their Arsenal team. This team is not easy to play, it is not as simple as the outside media said.

Arsene Wenger attaches great importance to this game. He did not come to Leeds until one day in advance and prepared in advance.

However, although he attaches great importance to Leeds United, Arsene Wenger is still very confident about his team. This season, they have a very ambitious goal, and that is the league championship.

Last season, Arsenal focused all their attention on the UEFA Champions League, so they ignored the league and performed poorly in the league. Last season, Arsenal reached the UEFA Champions League final, but lost to Barcelona in the final, which made them fall short.

More importantly, last season they did not reach the top four in the league. This season they can only play in the UEFA Cup. This is where Arsene Wenger feels the most angry. This season, Arsenal will still focus on the league, and they will compete for the Premier League championship.

However, at this time, their results are not much better, and they are only ranked third in the Premier League, seven points behind Manchester United, which is the first place. This is a relatively large gap. But fortunately, the league has only progressed to less than a third, and there are plenty of opportunities.

Moreover, Arsene Wenger knows that their opponents are not only Manchester United and Chelsea, but also Leeds United behind them. Leeds United can now be said to be a nonsense team with good strength, and they must pay attention to Leeds United.

At this time, Arsene Wenger, Pat Rice and others were in the hotel, watching the Leeds United game video. These videos are the game videos of Leeds United this season, and they are studying the situation of Leeds United.

Watching the flashing images on the TV, Arsene Wenger kept nodding with a serious face.

Pat Rice also frowned, and it took him a while to say: "I really didn't expect that young lunatic to control the team so well, so superbly. Look, Leeds United are all in these games. It was won by the integrity and spiritual support of the team. Their state this season seems to be really bad, but they can win all the time. This lunatic is very capable!"

Arsene Wenger kept nodding and said, "Of course, otherwise how could they have won the Premier League title last season?"

Pat Rice also said: "Look, this Edinson Cavani really has some strength, especially in the game against CSKA Moscow, which fully demonstrated his characteristics. This is a A boy with great potential, the outside media really wrongly blamed Cavani!"

Arsene Wenger snorted coldly and said: "These media know nothing, what else can they do besides making up nonsense?"

Pat Rice smiled slightly, his old buddy really hated media reporters.

Pat Rice said: "You can see that Leeds United's problems are almost all in the offense. Their counterattack is not as sharp as last season. This is probably because of Ribery's depression. If this season is not crazy Loya introduced Joaquin and Luca Toni, and their performance this season is really worrying!"

Arsène Wenger naturally noticed that in the previous games, Leeds United relied largely on the contributions of Joaquin and Luca Toni, who supported Leeds United's offense.

Especially Luca Toni, now he is the number one scorer in the Premier League!

Arsene Wenger couldn't help saying: "This lunatic is really lucky!"

Of course, what Arsene Wenger didn't mean was that Zhong Cheng was lucky, but that Zhong Cheng's vision was really good. You can see that the people he introduced performed well, and even saved his team.

Arsene Wenger is also famous for cultivating young players, but Arsene Wenger also made a lot of mistakes in seeing people and bought a lot of scrap products. But look at the crazy Loya, what about the players he brought in?

I can't even imagine it!

Pat Rice said: "Boss, how do we deal with Edinson Cavani in this game?"

Luca Toni Arsenal must be closely guarded, but after Luka Toni is closely guarded, Edinson Cavani can't make a move.

Arsene Wenger is also frowning, they can see that this Edinson Cavani is really not simple at all. From the match between Leeds United and CSKA Moscow, it can be seen that this guy is very capable.

Arsene Wenger said: "You don't need to defend him closely, just defend as usual. He Cavani is amazing, and our Arsenal players are even better!"

Yes, in Arsene Wenger's view, Edinson Cavani is amazing. But their Arsenal players are equally good. A young man like Edinson Cavani doesn't need to follow up closely at all, just defend as usual.

Moreover, now that Edinson Cavani is almost crushed by rumors, what is there to worry about?

Pat Rice and Arsene Wenger watched the video of the game for a long time and had a lot of discussions before finishing their day's work. By the time they rested, it was almost three o'clock in the morning.

The job of a football coach is far from easy as everyone imagined, and it is common to stay up late.

Zhong Cheng is actually the same as Arsene Wenger.

Zhong Cheng, Rogers and others were also watching Arsenal's game video this season in the office. There are still some changes between the Arsenal team this season and the Arsenal team last season. For example, Bergkamp retired, Reyes exchanged with Real Madrid's Baptista and so on.

The performance of the Arsenal team in the new season is still good, except for some discomfort at the beginning of the league, followed by successive victories, showing a super momentum.

And this season's Arsenal striker is a combination of one high and one fast. Arsene Wenger recruited Togolese black and hard forward Adebayor and Henry to form a striker partner. Arsenal's offense in the new season There are more ways and means, richer and more difficult to deal with.

Looking at the feeling of the Arsenal players in the game, Zhong Cheng sincerely shook his head.

The state of Arsenal's players is much better than that of their Leeds United players. Zhong Cheng is a little envious of them. If their Leeds United players can be in such a state this season, their Leeds United's results will definitely be much, much better.

Looking at the video in front of him, Zhong Cheng also frowned.

After watching the video, Zhong Cheng feels that the real Arsenal team is stronger than they imagined, and this game will be very difficult.

Because, the state of the Leeds United players is still not at a good level.

However, there are two good news that Carlos Tevez is back from Argentina. And after coming back, he is more willing to integrate into Leeds' life and team than before. At this time, he is still actively learning English, and everything is moving in the best direction.

What's more, Pique is finally back!

Of course, although Pique is back now, he is only undergoing recovery training, and he is still training alone, and has not practiced with the players of the club. However, Pique's ability to resume training is also good news for Leeds United.

This shows that Pique will soon return to the Leeds United lineup. With Pique, Leeds United's defense will be more stable.

Now, Zhong Cheng is waiting for Ribery to get back to his form as soon as possible.

These days, Zhong Cheng often talks to Ribery, encourages him, enlightens him, etc., but the results are not very strong. Zhong Cheng even proposed to let Ribery take a proper rest for a period of time to get back to his state.

But Ribery is unwilling to do this, he is still willing to stay on the court.

Now these media are not only spraying on Edinson Cavani, but also spraying on Ribery. They claim that Ribery is a shooting star. If Ribery is gone, Ribery will play in the amateur league again.

Anyway, these media reporters are now causing trouble for Leeds United, the more trouble the better. Ribery is almost ruined by these guys, and the pressure on Ribery is no less than that of Edinson Cavani.

Zhong Cheng looked at the video and said: "This Adebayor is really strong, this impact..."

Rogers also nodded and said: "Yes, this guy has scored four goals so far. Although the number of goals is not particularly large, each of them is more important. The more important thing is to show his advantages. And ability, because he is not the main striker of the Arsenal team, to be able to achieve such a result is already very powerful!"

Yes, Arsenal's main attacker is Henry, and Adebayor's ability to score so many goals with Henry already shows how powerful he is. The most important thing is that this video shows Adebayor's super impact, which is not a good thing for Leeds United's defense.

Zhong Cheng felt that although he had poached the corner of the Arsenal team, he felt that the strength of the Arsenal team had not decreased much. It seemed that he had not dug hard enough and had not dug into the foundation of the Arsenal team. It seems that there is no need to be so polite to the Arsenal team in the future, but to dig hard and break the backbone and foundation of the Arsenal team.
