At Wembley Stadium, Arsenal won the FA Cup with goals from Ramsey and Giroud.
Now almost two years later, Arsenal have reached the League Cup final.
The difference is that the distance between Arsenal and the championship was a bit far in the past. Now Arsenal has achieved outstanding results in the fourth line and has great hope.
According to Luo Wu's logic, it is necessary to harvest 4 championships.
On Wednesday morning, he finally appeared on the team's training ground, but still did not participate in the team's training.
Dressed in sportswear, he sat leisurely on a chair and watched his teammates train.
However, although he has not trained with the team these days, he has been practicing in the gym at home.
But it’s just some simple upper body muscle training.
"team leader,"
"Can you play today?"
J Luo immediately expressed concern.
"Waiting for the inspection report." Luo Wu did not hide it.
"It shouldn't be a big problem."
Still the same sentence.
If the inspection report is bad, he won't be able to play.
But he believes it's not a big problem.
My right foot still hurts a little, but it’s not like I can’t play...
Lichtsteiner on the side said:
"If you really can't do it, don't force it. Don't make it worse."
"If some old injuries recur, they will have a big impact on your career, so although today is a championship battle, I think you still need to be cautious."
"It's best not to fight with injuries."
"Guys will definitely do their best for the championship. No one will risk their lives. We are a team."
Lichtsteiner has a lot of experience and what he says is true.
He understands Luo Wu's eagerness to play and win the championship, but health is the most important thing.
"I understand. Why don't we wait for the inspection report to come out and then listen to the opinions of the experts?" Luo Wu smiled slightly, and he was in a good mood.
Soon, the team doctor actually came over with Luo Wu's physical examination report.
Then the report was handed over to Emery.
Everyone immediately gathered around.
The team doctor spoke.
"According to the examination report, there is still some inflammation in the right ankle."
"If I have to play today, the inflammation will definitely get worse. If I run too vigorously, there will definitely be problems."
These words made everyone feel half cold.
This means that it is not recommended for Luo Wu to appear.
"What if he comes on as a substitute?" Emery certainly didn't give up.
"Like playing on the court for half an hour?"
The team doctor hesitated and looked at Luo Wu.
"How can I say it? It won't work if I kick it desperately."
"If it's a stance-style kick, it can still be considered."
"This guy likes dribbling so much, I don't think it's possible?"
"Then I won't dribble the ball." Luo Wu smiled again, "Who said I must dribble the ball."
"Boss, can you put me in the center position and let me play center with this guy?" Luo Wu pointed at Haaland.
"This way I don't need to dribble the ball. I just cruise around the penalty area and scare them to death."
Emery frowned and became thoughtful.
This sounds like a good approach.
Put Luo Wu in the center position and play double center, and suddenly place the two most threatening players in the hinterland of Manchester City. Even if Luo Wu fails to show his true strength, it can still act as a deterrent.
effect.
Once you get the ball, you can choose to pass or shoot, as long as you don't dribble...
But is this realistic?
It doesn't feel very reliable.
Since he is at the center position, physical confrontation is definitely inevitable.
Things are not that simple.
He looked at the team doctor and asked:
"How long can I play in this position?"
The team doctor looked confused. This question was too damn stupid.
"It's hard to say..."
"I personally feel that the Manchester City players will not make it easy for him."
"He must get closer to Manchester City's goal so that opponents are at a loss and don't dare to take advantage of him."
"But if it were me, I would definitely find an opportunity to play with a black foot. There is no better way to defend than letting him go as early as possible. I think the opponent will definitely be able to think of this."
hiss,
Almost everyone took a breath and looked at the team doctor.
Why doesn't this guy go to the coaching staff? Why should he be a team doctor? He can think of such insidious methods.
"It seems really brave," said the assistant coach on the side.
"I would do the same thing in other circumstances."
"He will do anything to win the championship. Judging from Guardiola's recent mentality, this guy can definitely do it."
Emery:…
The mood is too complicated.
Luo Wu cannot be allowed to take risks.
But he was unwilling to not go to Luo Wu.
In the end, there was still no result from the discussion, but there is no need to doubt one thing, Luo Wu must be included in the squad for the competition.
At noon, Arsenal announced their squad, and Luo Wu's name was clearly on the list.
The Manchester City team at the other end reacted quickly. When they learned that Luo Wu was on the roster, the coaching staff relaxed.
"It's really a smoke bomb."
"This guy Luo Wu will definitely appear."
"Pep, you are right."
In the coaching conference room of Manchester City's hotel, the assistant coach immediately handed over the squad to Guardiola.
"Well, then let's continue with plan A."
In order to wait for this revenge battle, Guardiola has been preparing for a long time.
The 451 formation was arranged for the first time.
The four defenders are Walker, Otamendi, Laporte and Zinchenko.
The five midfielders are Fernandinho, Danilo, De Bruyne, Sterling and Sane.
Forward Aguero.
Compared with the last match, the formation this time has changed, and the starting players have also changed a lot.
There is only one Aguero on the front line.
Behind him are Gundogan and Sane.
But more importantly, Guardiola chose a double midfielder.
He used to like to play 433.
Now there are two people, Fernandinho and Danilo, playing in the middle, just to contain Luo Wu.
The defensive ability has been strengthened.
The offensive ability has not been weakened much, Sane and Sterling provide absolute speed.
When tested on the training ground, this lineup also played very well, with a fairly balanced offense and defense.
In fact, just like what Otamendi suggested before, it is a defensive counterattack, but Guardiola doesn't want to say that...
Morality has long been gone...
Two hours later, the two sides arrived at Wembley Stadium.
The stadium was already packed with fans, and the game hadn't even started yet, but fans from both sides were already fighting.
Today they will compete here for the 2018-19 League Cup championship...
"Lo,"
"There's still a chance you could play in the first half."
"If we were two goals behind, I would have sent you on immediately."
Emery found Luo Wu alone and gave him a vaccination.
The premise is that Arsenal are two goals behind...
"Don't worry, boss, I can torture them even if I'm half a human!"
