Chapter 864 Pure Speed ​​(Three More Chapters, Please Subscribe!)

Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, closed warm-up match.

Real Madrid ushered in their first warm-up match, against Arsenal.

In the locker room, everyone was preparing for the game.

At this time, Mourinho walked into the locker room and began to announce the starting lineup:

Goalkeeper: Casillas.

Defenders: Carvajal, Carvalho, Pepe, Marcelo.

Midfielders: Granero, Kaka, Di Maria.

Forwards: Bale, Benzema, Callejon.

Seeing this starting list, everyone was quite stunned.

Generally speaking, warm-up matches are to let the starting main players go on the field first for adjustment and testing, and then the substitutes get the opportunity to play.

But Mourinho put some of the main players on the bench and adopted a mixed lineup.

However, Mourinho did not explain.

On the other hand, Arsenal's starting lineup is all main players.

Goalkeeper: Szczesny.

Defenders: Koscielny, Gibbs, Vermaelen, Sagna.

Midfielders: Chamberlain, Alexander Song, Rosicky.

Forwards: Walcott, Van Persie, Gervinho.

Suker sat on the bench, turned his head left and right to look at the lineups of Arsenal and Real Madrid, and then bowed his head in thought.

Mourinho's unusual pre-match arrangement puzzled him, but he couldn't figure it out.

In front of him, Faria also turned his head to look at Mourinho and asked:

"Why arrange the lineup like this?"

Facing the assistant's question, Mourinho also sighed; "This is Wenger's request."

"Professor's request?" Faria was a little surprised.

Mourinho nodded; "He hopes that we don't directly use all the main players in the starting lineup."

Mourinho stopped there, but Faria soon understood.

Arsenal is now in a panic due to Fabregas' betrayal.

They need some external stimulation to unite the team.

And Real Madrid can be this external stimulation point.

Wenger understands that with Arsenal's current lineup, they can't beat Real Madrid at all.

Therefore, I request that the full force not be sent in the first half, at least let these Arsenal players play with some spirit.

To put it bluntly, it is to let them go a little bit so that they can find their form.

At the same time, Wenger also wants to let the players know through this game that Arsenal has not lost its fighting power.

Therefore, it is highly likely that they will not be able to play, but they also need to play their own content.

Thinking of this, Faria also shook his head and sighed.

He used to think that Wenger was very miserable. He obviously had talent, but he had to spend half a day to guard Arsenal and buy a 10 million player.

Now this Arsenal makes him worry even more.

In the stadium, the game started soon.

Suk sat on the bench, eating bananas and watching the game.

There is actually no big problem with Real Madrid's lineup. Although it cannot be compared with the full force, the offense and defense are still very stable.

As for Arsenal, their offense is a bit impatient.

After Fabregas left, Rosicky became the commander of this Arsenal.

At present, Arteta has not yet transferred, and the midfield can only rely on Rosicky.

But Rosicky played very anxiously, or very irritably.

When advancing the offense, his handling was not so delicate.

Sometimes he should dribble horizontally or pass back to his teammates, but he passed the ball forward and dribbled desperately.

This also caused Arsenal to move forward as a whole, seemingly full of offensive threats, but playing particularly chaotically.

However, this kind of chaos is not a bad thing.

After all, once the rhythm is messed up.

Real Madrid will also be in chaos!

Kaka is still in the transition period, and his rhythm control under organization is a weakness.

This is also the reason why Modric suppressed him with rhythm in the Champions League final.

But after all, he has just come into contact with the position of defensive midfielder, so he will inevitably be a little uncomfortable and need to take it slowly.

It can be said that the current chaotic situation is actually beneficial to Arsenal.

Bang!

Rosicky made a diagonal pass.

Van Persie suddenly crossed the back line and broke into the right sharp corner of the small penalty area.

Van Persie turned and shot.

The ball bounced off Casillas.

Chamberlain followed up from behind and shot the ball directly, but the ball was off target.

Suker looked at Chamberlain and grinned slightly.

What kind of player is this!

In the past, even young substitutes at Arsenal were of very high quality.

Wenger looked down on players like Chamberlain.

But now Wenger is obviously not picky, and will do whatever is cheap.

It was Real Madrid's turn to attack.

It was still Bale's high-speed dribbling along the wing.

Suker did not play, and Bale's right wing became the main offensive route for Real Madrid.

However, Bale did not have the centripetal force of Suker.

When Suker played, everyone would help Suker create space on the wing.

After all, this was Suker!

They trusted Suker's ability, so as long as they created opportunities, Suker could score goals.

But Bale was different!

He had not yet proven himself.

The most obvious manifestation was that Benzema was not very willing to deal with Bale.

Benzema was positioned as a fulcrum center forward.

He did more dirty and strenuous work.

But if he was asked to work for Suk, he was willing.

But he was not happy if he was asked to work for Bell.

For this reason, Benzema directly used himself as a single arrow, taking the ball and shooting without caring about Bell's position.

And Bell is not the kind of player who is good at running. He cannot run out of threatening gaps, and Benzema is even less willing to pass the ball.

"The kicking was a bit messy!"

Alonso frowned.

Suk shrugged; "It's more than just chaos! There's simply no rhythm."

Three people on the front line.

Callejon, Benzema and Bale.

None of these three people is convinced by the other, and no one wants to give the other party space and create opportunities.

After all, he is his competitor, and allowing him to score is a deduction for himself.

Moreover, this is not a formal game, so this kind of competition is even more obvious.

The game time has entered 30 minutes.

Arsenal seized a very valuable opportunity. Taking advantage of Real Madrid's counterattack, Rosicky completed the steal in the center circle and passed it to Gervinho on the wing.

Gervinho made a cross from the wing.

Walcott appeared in the middle to compete for the top and caused interference. At the back point, Arsenal's real killer move, Van Persie, faced the falling ball and volleyed directly.

boom!

The ball went into the goal from close range.

Arsenal leads Real Madrid 1:0.

But it was not over yet. In the 41st minute, Arsenal had a corner kick opportunity.

Arsenal defender Koscielny scored again with a header to open the score.

With two goals, Arsenal leads Real Madrid 2:0.

This also made the Arsenal players extremely excited.

Their status can be adjusted.

Oh my God!

They are ahead of Real Madrid!

During halftime, the Arsenal players were chattering away.

They became extremely enthusiastic about this game, and all the bad things before were forgotten.

The role Wenger wanted appeared.

However, when the Arsenal players stood up and prepared for the second half with high morale, they saw Real Madrid's lineup and their hearts suddenly sank.

Su Ke walked into the court with the ball, and he had already taken off his substitute vest.

This means that Su Ke will play in the second half.

The Arsenal players were shocked.

Even though I knew this moment was coming, I still felt extremely nervous.

At this moment, Wenger's voice sounded.

"Substitute!"

Robin van Persie, Theo Walcott, Koscielny and Alexander Song were all substituted.

See this operation by Wenger.

Both Mourinho and Suker were dumbfounded.

Damn it!

Just punch him and run away?

This is to let the main players vent their emotions, and then let the substitutes get beaten!

Mourinho also looked at this scene blankly.

"This old French man, when did he learn to be cunning?"

Uh-huh! ! !

Suker quickly passed in front of Wenger, and with his powerful explosive power, he instantly evened the gap with Sagna.

Sagna has rich experience, but he has no way to deal with hard indicators such as speed.

After Su Ke unloaded the ball, he went directly into the penalty area.

Facing the chaotic Arsenal defense, Suker moved horizontally and twisted his waist to volley.

The ball passed under Gibbs' crotch and into the near corner of the goal.

Suker scored just 3 minutes into the second half.

This goal is a more thorough demonstration of personal ability than the overall cooperation itself.

Wenger rubbed his temples with one hand and shook his head.

During his coaching career, he met many outstanding forwards.

For example, Henry, Pires, Bergkamp, ​​etc. are among the best.

But none of their peaks were as fierce as Su Ke's.

The most important thing is that Su Ke maintains his condition.

The peak period of many players ends after 3-4 years, which is considered a long time.

But looking at Suker, Wenger didn't even know when this guy's peak period began and when it ended.

At the very least, Suk is still so terrifying now.

"Patrice, I regret it!"

Wenger said softly.

In this regard, Patrice also shook his head and said nothing.

It is not just Wenger who regrets it, but the entire Arsenal.

But there is no regret medicine in this world, and their choices can only be borne by themselves.

However, if they were allowed to go back to the moment of re-selection, Wenger would squeeze out the damn 30 million euros by selling everything!

On the sidelines, Mourinho looked a little unhappy.

He didn't expect Wenger to do this, but after all, it was a warm-up match, so he had to let Wenger make a substitution, right?

Mourinho breathed out: "Stop breaking through, practice our tactics!"

Hearing this, Suker and Bell retreated slightly, and Real Madrid's overall defense also retreated further.

Arsenal players saw that the offensive pressure was slack. For the first time, they did not dare to attack. But after a few minutes, they found that Real Madrid was not pressing them, and their inner desire to attack began to stir.

Soon, Rosicky began to frequently drop back to catch the ball.

He looked at Real Madrid's formation and was still a little apprehensive.

"They want to use the wings to counterattack!"

Rosicky knows this, and so do the other Arsenal players.

At the moment Rosicky was about to score the ball, Kaká suddenly rushed over from the side.

Rosicky immediately pulled the ball, but his center of gravity at this time no longer allowed him to change direction again.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Alonso had already rushed forward and poked the ball out.

The ball hit the center circle, and Benzema just dropped back to catch the ball and pass it back.

Kaka quickly moved forward, met Benzema's back pass, and inserted the ball directly behind the right full-back.

At the same time, Su Ke and Bell on both wings suddenly started to move.

The rapid speed and explosive power instantly disrupted Arsenal's defense.

"So fast!"

"too fast?"

"Can you make it?"

There were bursts of exclamations from the Arsenal bench.

A Bell is fast enough, giving them a lot of sprint impact.

But when there is a Su Ke, this sense becomes even stronger.

Even Arsenal knew that Real Madrid was going to attack from both wings, but they were unable to stop it.

At such pure speed, they had no way to intercept it.

Bell eats Jenkinson alive on the wing, quickly catches up with the ball, and sweeps the ball towards the center.

The pass was very powerful and the ball was very fast. Vermaelen failed to block it immediately and the ball went over.

At the back point, Su Ke suddenly slid in and shoveled the ball into the goal.

Uh-huh!

The ball hits the net.

Real Madrid equalized the score.

"Once past the full-back, the only one who can catch up with Bale's speed is Suker!" Mourinho said with a smile on his lips.

This is not any technical or tactical offensive cooperation, but purely the cooperation of two super fast horses.

It can be said that if the opponent does not have a fast horse of the same level on the wing, it will continue to suffer from Su Ke and Bell's attacks that use speed to attack.

This kind of attack is the most unreasonable, and it is played on the counterattack.

Unless the opponent can outrun Real Madrid, there is no way.

Wenger also frowned at this scene.

"Real Madrid's dominance of matches will continue this season!"

Patrice; "But why do I feel that Real Madrid was more of a threat last season?"

"The performance of a team is not only about tactics, but also about state, mentality and various subjective consciousness. Real Madrid reached the peak in these aspects last season. After all, many players here failed to win the Champions League, so that This possible mentality is also part of the motivation. Although they have not lost their dedication to the championship, it will not be as urgent as last season!”

"Coupled with the intense consumption and the problem of insufficient recovery, these have caused Real Madrid's state to decline to a certain extent, but they are still one of the most powerful teams on the planet!"

When Wenger spoke, his eyes looked at Suk.

Just like his words, every player will perform differently in different seasons.

This is the ups and downs of status, more or less.

But Suk is like a robot, with no ups and downs at all, and is always threatening.

Wenger shook his head slightly, this was not something he should think about.

Su Ke has never belonged to him. Maybe he still doesn't understand a lot about Su Ke.

In the following time, Real Madrid used frequent counterattacks to open the score.

In the 78th minute, Marcelo scored a goal in a corner kick.

In the 88th minute, Benzema connected with Suker. Taking advantage of Suker's lateral movement, Benzema immediately moved forward. Suker took the opportunity to stuff the ball, and Benzema scored alone.

Finally, at the end of the game, Real Madrid defeated Arsenal 4:2.

After the entire warm-up match, both sides got what they wanted.

Wenger slightly awakened the fighting spirit of some players, and Mourinho also tested his tactics.

However, due to the departure of Cesc Fabregas, the current Arsenal midfielder is not strong enough. It is difficult for Rosicky to support the midfielder alone, so Real Madrid's high press cannot be detected.

The warm-up match is over and Arsenal is preparing to return to London.

Wenger turned his head and looked at the Real Madrid bus fading away, sighed and said, "After we get back, let's go to Everton again. The transfer of Arteta should also be finalized!" "

This season, they will sign a Spanish midfielder, Mikel Arteta, from Everton to fill the vacancy after Cesc Fabregas left.

At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Mourinho completed the review and disbanded the team.

Su Ke suggested; "How about a pre-season dinner?"

After Suk finished speaking, Ramos and others looked at Casillas.

Suker mainly asked Casillas.

Casillas turned around and said, "I have something else to do later."

Casillas declined, and Suk nodded and said, "Okay, let's meet at Bell's villa at seven o'clock in the evening."

Bell was shocked; "Why are you at my house?"

Su Ke: "I don't have a place in my house. After all, Angel has a family and it's inconvenient. What are you waiting for as a bachelor if you don't go out to the venue!"

Bell said helplessly, "Okay, I get it!"

Suk and others took the car back to the villa.

Suk had already prepared the ingredients and directed everyone to move the ingredients and barbecue equipment to Bell's house.

After everyone arrived at Bell's villa, they were ready to start the exam.

But before they could start, Ramos and Aveiroa walked in.

"Good evening!" Ramos went straight to Suk's grill, looked left and right and said: "It's not ready yet!"

Suk looked at Ramos; "I thought you wouldn't come!"

"Igor has something to do, but it doesn't mean we all have something to do." Ramos smiled and said; "Do you need my help?"

Suk handed over the barbecue tongs.

"Just right, your barbecued meat is more delicious!"

Since someone can be ordered around, Suk will naturally be lazy if he can be lazy.

While grilling meat, Ramos said: "Igor, it's been hard these days!"

Suk squatted aside and didn't say a word.

Ramos glanced at Suk; "Did Mourinho do anything to you?"

"What?" Suk shrugged; "We are all in the same team, what's so easy to target!"

That's because you are not targeted.

Ramos grinned.

Mourinho now focuses almost entirely on suppressing the Spanish gang.

Among the 11 main players, there are only three Spanish local players: Casillas, Ramos, and Alonso.

There used to be more, but now there are fewer and fewer.

This also led to their voice in the locker room gradually decreasing.

Ramos brought up this topic just to judge Suker's attitude.

But this guy pretended to be stupid and didn't say a word!
