Chapter 909
Although Saka's performance threatened Manchester United, he still failed to win the game in the end.
However, the process of the game was still very intense.
Especially in the second half, after Giroud came on the field, Arsenal played left and right, putting great pressure on Manchester United.
But Manchester United's offense was ferocious.
After the final 90 minutes of the game, Arsenal lost 2:3 to Manchester United and suffered elimination from the FA Cup.
The final was just around the corner, but they were eliminated, which made young players such as Saka and Odegaard extremely frustrated.
They fought for it for a season, but in the end they still encountered elimination.
Their strength is still not enough to be a champion.
Mourinho also enlightened these young players after the game. For Mourinho, the performance of these young players is good enough.
Even if they failed to win the game in the end, Mourinho saw their performance.
If Mourinho properly joins some main players, the score may be rewritten.
But this is not necessary.
After all, Arsenal has long established the general direction of abandoning the FA Cup.
And now is not the time to be depressed, the real test is about to begin.
On April 4th, Arsenal will go to Barcelona, Spain. They will have the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals at Camp Nou, which is Arsenal's Champions League life-and-death battle.
After the FA Cup match, Arsenal entered the intense preparation process.
On the first day of the team training group, there was a little trouble.
During the grouping process, Lucky took the initiative to invite Saka to join them.
"What are you still doing? Put on your vest and play!"
Only then did Saka come back to his senses, and after putting on his vest, he went on stage.
You know, Lucky's side is a full lineup, and it's a collection of offensive players.
Mourinho likes to split the back line and the midfield for confrontation training games. The midfielder will transfer between the two teams from time to time and adjust according to the training content.
For example, if you need to practice offense, then the midfielder becomes a team.
And to practice defense, then it is a team in the midfield.
But the main players will inevitably occupy the places of the two teams.
If the substitutes can enter the vacant main team, it will be a great improvement for them, let alone being directly called to the main team by Lucky like Saka.
"In the next attack, watch my running position more. If there is really no room to pass forward, then pass back!"
Le Kai said seriously; "The most important point! Don't lose the ball easily!"
The last sentence, Le Kai said it to Saka, who also nodded solemnly.
Finally had the opportunity to join the main team, Saka is holding back his energy now.
Soon, the training match will begin.
The intensity and rhythm of this training match are very high.
As if preparing for Barcelona, the overall rhythm is very close to the official game.
Saka clearly felt that everyone's running positions were very active, and the position exchange speed was also very fast.
Sometimes, Saka can't keep up with this rapid rhythm.
But there is also a feeling of being pulled by the rhythm.
"Quick! Faster!"
"too slow!"
"Return as soon as possible!"
"Immediately retreat after losing the ball!"
"What are you looking at? Come back!"
Lucky kept yelling, and the roar was also urging the Arsenal players to quickly enter the state.
Saka was pushed by the rhythm, and after a while, he got used to it.
But still feel extremely heart palpitations.
The pace is too fast.
In other words, the overall speed has changed too much.
Whether it is running speed, dribbling speed, running position, position exchange, offensive and defensive conversion, and even the strength of passing, etc., these have all undergone obvious changes.
In the past, when playing training games with the substitutes, the main team basically kept playing.
Therefore, the substitutes never felt the moment from the main team showing its true fangs.
They know that the main team is very strong, after all, they can eliminate such a powerful Bayern Munich.
But to what extent they are so awesome, they don't know very well.
And now, Sarkar understood.
He felt that Bayern Munich's loss was not unjust. With this rhythm and under this pressure, if they were replaced by the group they played in the FA Cup, they would be blown away by the main team in an instant.
Snapped! !
When Saka slipped away, he couldn't stop the ball for a while.
Saka immediately raised his hand to signal his question, and at the same time looked at Le Kai nervously.
He was afraid that Le Kai would yell at him.
Unexpectedly, Le Kai did not yell at him, but walked over and said softly:
"You see, just now my pass has an advance amount, you want to slow down to adjust, and then catch the ball, but my pass has a roundabout, which is to match your fastest pass, so in When receiving my pass, don't slow down, just go as fast as you can!"
Hearing Le Kai's words, Saka opened his mouth and said, "The fastest speed? Can't you knock the ball out?"
Le Kai smiled and said, "You can try it!"
Saka was skeptical. Although Lucky's passing ability was very strong, he could really be so strong.
Return to team play.
Saka saw Le Kai holding the ball, and he rushed forward without even waiting for Le Kai to look up at him.
There is a gap in front, which can just be used.
And when Saka started, Lucy seemed to have eyes behind his back, and suddenly turned around and slammed the pass.
The ball flew straight and diagonally.
When Saka confronted Bellerin, he saw the ball coming to him.
"Don't slow down! Don't slow down! Go ahead!"
Saka kept repeating in his heart, and the whole person kept sprinting and rushed forward.
At this moment, the ball suddenly decelerated in a spin, and Saka just stretched out his foot to buckle the ball.
Bellerin beside him was unable to counteract the kinetic energy of the sprint, and took two steps forward before slowing down, but at this time Saka had already completed the inside cut.
Saka's face was full of shock.
really slowed down!
This passing ability is simply abnormal!
Saka moved laterally along the penalty area line, suddenly stepped on the ball and pulled it behind him.
And Giroud, who completed the cross-run with him, volleyed directly against the ball, and the ball accurately got in between the goalkeeper's calf and the goal.
"Pretty!"
Loud cheers came from the sidelines, followed by sparse applause.
With a bright smile on his face, Giroud took the initiative to find Saka.
"High five!"
Giroud raised his hands.
Saka raised it subconsciously.
Snapped! ! !
Hot palms.
But Saka didn't feel pain, he could feel a sense of recognition from Giroud.
At this time, Le Kai also came over.
"How? This is the tactical cooperation in the frontcourt!"
Saka licked his lips and said, "Captain, how did you do it?"
"What?" Lucy asked puzzled.
"Slow down the ball! It just slowed down in front of me! How did you do this?" Saka asked excitedly.
Le Kai smiled and said, "Want to learn?"
Saka nodded like a chick pecking at rice, Le Kai smiled and said, "I'll call you when you finish practicing the cross!"
"It's a deal!" Saka said loudly.
After all, he ran to the sidelines to celebrate with his friends in the substitute area.
And this scene was also seen by Mourinho.
"Your choice is right!"
Mourinho turned to look at Arteta Road.
In the previous game, Mourinho was really disappointed with Lacazette.
Lacazette's biggest problem is the lack of teamwork. Mourinho dare not use him for a person who hesitates to pass the ball to his teammates.
If there are no accidents, Lacazette may appear in the transfer market in the summer window.
This is also Mourinho's way of completely abandoning this player.
Of course, with Lacazette as the center forward, Arsenal have Lukaku and Giroud in this position, and they no longer need Lacazette as the third substitute, which is also one of the reasons.
Sell it while it's still worth some money.
It's best to give him the name of a champion, and then sell it at a high price to earn one last return.
Since taking charge of Arsenal's transfer rights, Mourinho has become more and more able to live.
It cannot be called careful calculation, but at least enough value must be extracted from various places.
A breeze was blowing, and Mourinho narrowed his eyes slightly and looked up at the sky.
"It's time to get ready to go!"
Mourinho whispered softly.
This is the biggest crisis since he coached Arsenal.
It is also a battle of redemption for Arsenal.
They have only one goal.
That is to capture the Nou Camp!
Only in this way can Arsenal advance!
