Chapter 117: Leicester City's Attack?

, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!

Arsenal defeated Bayern Munich and advanced to the Champions League quarter-finals, but the cruel competition system still continues.

At this time, the Arsenal players had no time to think about anything else and put all their energy into the game.

The first is the issue of body and condition.

After a long game, Arsenal as a whole has shown an extremely tired state.

Of course, this state is something that every team has to experience. Under the cruel league system, a professional club's enemies come not only from the field, but also from its own injuries.

Arsenal players don't want to get injured, but they also don't want to miss this Champions League and league match.

Not only players, but also head coaches are facing the same problem.

Especially for Arsenal and Manchester City, the latter has suffered injuries one after another. After the main players recover from injuries, they must immediately get into the game.

Arsenal does not have as deep a bench as Manchester City, so they can only use their main force to resist.

Instead of expecting the performance of young players, Arsenal should pay more attention to the main players.

Of course, the hearts of these main players are also extremely tortured.

On the one hand, the league and the Champions League have entered the most intense period. The club needs their efforts, and they themselves do not want to give up.

Another aspect comes from the upcoming World Cup.

After the end of this season, they will immediately be involved in the 2018 World Cup in Russia. For any international player, they do not want to miss this event.

Both parties couldn't give up, so they had no choice but to stand firm.

Once they get through it, they are considered complete.

But if you don't get through it, you will definitely lose a possible honor.

Of course, for most Arsenal players, such as Mane, Aubameyang and others, they prefer the Champions League compared to the illusory World Cup.

Because you can watch the Champions League, but it is almost impossible to watch the World Cup.

Lucky is also in the same problem.

There is a slight chance of injury, but Arsenal also cannot do without him. As the captain and core player, he cannot say that he will not play anymore.

For this reason, he could only go hard.

Chen Man, who is in Liverpool, has the same worries.

Chen Man has performed very well this season. Not only has he become Liverpool's second goalscorer, he has also been a solid performer for Liverpool in the Champions League.

However, he also received a lot of "care" from his opponent. Last time, before he even started running, his leg was almost broken by the opponent. If he hadn't escaped in time, he might have been ready to retire by now.

"Grandma, I'm so tired. Playing in the Premier League is so tiring. I'm almost at full attendance. The other teams are so close in points. We are currently fourth in the league and seem to have qualified for the Champions League, but Chelsea and Manchester United are behind. It’s not easy to catch up with Tottenham!”

On the phone, Chen Man cursed.

When he was playing in the Portuguese Super League, the pressure was not so great, but after joining Liverpool, especially after becoming the main player, he was a little overwhelmed.

Chen Man and Lucai also received numerous warnings from the national team coaching staff not to get injured.

But who can be sure about this, they can only try to avoid these things, after all, no one wants to.

"Liu Dapao is already injured. What Simeone used is cruel. Liu Dapao has been full attendance for two seasons. I want to kill him!"

"The Emperor's condition is no longer good. He hasn't scored a few goals in the Portuguese Super League this season. It seems that this World Cup will have to rely on you again!"

Hearing Chen Man's words, Le Kai was also speechless.

"Take care of me and try not to get hurt. I can't do it alone."

Chen slowly smiled and said, "I'll try my best. I've been suffering from back pain, leg pain, butt pain, and it hurts everywhere anyway. Just pray that you don't see me in the newspapers again!"

"Don't say that, it's bad luck!" Lucky sighed.

Chen Man: "Speaking of which, your situation is even worse than mine, and yet you're not having any trouble at all!"

"I have played in the Premier League for many years, so I have experience!" said Lucai.

"Yes!" Chen Man sighed: "It's not easy for you in the Champions League and the league this season. The league is competing with Manchester City, and the Champions League is even worse. After playing Bayern and Barcelona, ​​if you win, you may have to play Real Madrid, even if We’ve entered the finals, how many of you are left?”

Lucky scolded; "Shut your crow mouth!"

Chen Man chuckled and said, "I'm just telling you, what if we meet in the finals?"

Lucky; "It's not impossible!"

Chen Man waved his hands and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm going to start training here."

Lucky: "We're going to have physical therapy too!"

"Okay, see you later, don't get hurt!"

After that, the two hung up the phone.

It is not difficult to tell from the words of the two that neither Arsenal nor Liverpool are in particularly good condition.

After Lucai came to the physical therapy room, many teammates had already received treatment and left.

He came a little later, so he went straight to the massage without queuing.

"Your muscles are very fatigued and too tight. Don't do heavy training during this period!"

The physiotherapist suggested while massaging.

Lucky lay on the physical therapy bed and nodded: "I am no longer doing any strength training."

"Neither does physical training, nor any training that increases the burden on the body."

Lucky nodded: "Okay!"

The physiotherapist has given such advice, and Lekai can't just ignore it.

Training is important, but it should be moderate. He doesn't want to get injured because of training.

In about half an hour, Lekai completed the treatment.

He stood up and put on his clothes while asking the team doctor Levin; "How are the players?"

"Still the same!" Levin sighed; "The incidence rate has increased. Some players have begun to use bandages to protect their ankle joints and avoid sprains. Do you want to try it? Get familiar with it as soon as possible?"

Lekai shook his head and said; "I don't need it!"

After the bandage is wrapped, it certainly has a fixed effect, but it also means a certain loss of flexibility.

Although Lekai does not rely on flexibility to make a living, as a midfielder, he needs to maintain a relatively flexible state.

After returning to the training ground, Lekai found that everyone was stretching.

Even some players who are usually lazy and don't do it well, and directly filter out this item, are stretching meticulously.

Obviously, they also fully feel the signals from the body, and are trying to reduce the occurrence of injuries as much as possible.

Lekai nodded slightly, walked over to greet the players, and stretched seriously.

After all the training was over, Mourinho called the players to the tactical room to prepare for the next round of the league.

On March 17, Arsenal will face Leicester City away.

They are about to play the 30th round.

In this game, Mourinho really can't afford the huge injury risk, so he decided to rotate the players.

Lekai, Ramsey, Giroud, Mane, Hummels, Jimenez and other players rested, and their positions were replaced by substitutes.

On the day of the game, the starting lineup was as follows.

Goalkeeper: Martinez.

Defenders: Bellerin, Koscielny, Mustafi, Robertson.

Midfielders: Kante, Xhaka, Yinwobi.

Forwards: Saka, Lukaku, Aubameyang.

The game was very rough.

In the first half, Arsenal and Leicester City scored a goal respectively.

Aubameyang and Leicester City's center forward Vardy scored goals.

After that, it entered a period of tug-of-war.

The scene became extremely stalemate.

For Leicester City, the performance of the back line was amazing.

In particular, Maguire's single-handed defense against Lukaku showed a very good effect.

And relying on this, Leicester City also constantly counterattacked and attacked Arsenal's defense again and again.

In the second half, at the beginning of the game, Mustafi gave the opponent a penalty kick due to a foul in the penalty area.

Vardy scored a penalty kick steadily, helping Leicester City to expand the score.

In the 77th minute, Vardy made a magical volley outside the penalty area, and the shot went straight into the dead corner.

The score was expanded to 3:1.

Now Mourinho couldn't sit still, and he immediately made substitutions.

Lukaku and Giroud came on as substitutes, and Lukaku and Yinwobi left the field.

A positional substitution, and at the same time hoped to get the score back through Luka's influence.

They can't afford a defeat.

If they are left behind by Manchester City, it will be a disaster.
