The reporters from other countries present had no idea why Wenger would say this, and the faces of the British reporters turned on with excitement. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The media reporters of Manchester City, who wanted to get the first-hand information about the attack on Arsenal, looked hard to look at, and Wenger was slapping them in the face by the way.

Journalists from other countries looked at their British counterparts who reacted differently and realized that there must be a story in it, and they began to make noise.

Then they looked at their counterparts in Manchester City and the way they looked at them began to change.

The Colombian reporter was humiliated at the airport, and his heart was full of resentment, so he immediately returned to the hotel and went to find out Chen Fan's information in detail.

When he finished checking, his face became ugly.

……

Arsenal conducted adaptation training that afternoon, and Wenger asked Chen Fan to replace Van Persie in the confrontation and play as a center forward!

This is a brand new position, and the challenge for Chen Fan is very high.

The centre-forward is often the fulcrum of the team's attacking frontcourt, has a strong ability to control the ball, and has to play the ball to his teammates in extreme difficulty.

Doing the ball is not much of a problem for Chen Fan, he is a fullback, and it is not difficult for him to assist his teammates.

But to play the role of the fulcrum of the frontcourt......

The ground ball is not a big problem, but the high-altitude ball ......

For Chen Fan, who is only one meter seven or eight tall, it is simply an unlikely task.

Modern football has entered the battle for all aspects, and in addition to the battle on the ground, there is also the battle for the air.

Regardless of the team, there must be at least one tall player over 1.85 meters tall in the two central defenders.

It's all about air supremacy!

Chen Fan wants to compete for air supremacy with these tall and strong central defenders, which is a bit difficult.

In addition, the space in the middle lane is smaller, which is not conducive to the performance of a player with speed like Chen Fan.

The British media reporters outside the stadium watched Savani beat Chen Fan to push the football again and again, and his face changed greatly.

This is self-defeating......

If you think that the attack power of the attack line is not enough, it is good to let Chen play as a winger, how can Chen play as a center!

Wenger was not very satisfied with the training effect, and immediately adjusted his tactics and let them attack on the ground, so that Chen Fan had a chance to play.

After training, Wenger was surrounded by reporters.

"Mr. Arsene Wenger, do you really want Chen to play as a centre-forward?"

Wenger raised his eyebrows and said, "Why not?" After we adjusted, he did a lot better. ”

A London journalist said worriedly: "After Chen arrived in the Premier League, the physical confrontation has indeed improved a lot, but he is still not very strong in this regard." ”

In the duel with Chelsea, Manchester United and other giants, Chen Fan had the upper hand in several physical confrontations, but at that time he was running.

The force at rest is completely different from the force with initial velocity, and the kinetic energy of the latter is greater.

Even if it is attacked from the ground, due to the small space in front of the penalty area, many passes are not advanced and are passed to people.

So the center is often at rest with the ball and playing physical confrontation with opposing defenders.

Chen Fan undoubtedly does not have an advantage in this regard.

Wenger thought for a moment and said, "Chen is a smart man, he can find a way. ”

What is the answer to this?

Wenger, aren't you known for training young people?

How can you say such a thing now?

To the frustration of the reporters, Arsenal did not let the reporters watch during the afternoon training.

Some people think that Arsene Wenger is a false shot in the morning, and the formation in the afternoon training is the formation for tonight. Chen Fan should not play as a center forward, and should return to the familiar left winger position.

Some people also believe that Chen Fan should continue to play in the back to organize the team's attack, and use his accurate long passes to launch a quick counterattack.

For a while, there were different opinions, and no one knew what Wenger was calculating.

The arrival of Arsenal means that the knockout round of the Champions League is just around the corner.

Various analyses have appeared in major media outlets, with the Portuguese media generally believing that Porto's narrow home win over Arsenal is still very certain.

'Arsenal have played three big games recently and are in a period of fatigue, and with Van Persie's injury, Arsenal's attack is bound to suffer a lot.

By all indications, Chen, Arsenal's most attacking player, is likely to play as a striker in this game to make up for the void left by Robin van Persie's injury. As long as Porto limit Chen's play, Arsenal's attacking power will be greatly reduced.

Falcao has been in fine form of late, scoring four goals in three games, and the attacking line led by him should have no problem finding the back of the net against Arsenal.

A big win over Arsenal is very difficult, but a small win still has a good chance! ”

This is the opinion of Portugal's most influential media, Sport Portugal, whose views are supported by a lot of Portuguese media.

The British media were worried, and the London media advised Wenger not to play with fire: "Chen is indeed the most well-rounded star in world football today, but his physical condition is not enough to bear the burden of a central striker!" ”

"It's okay if a good winger doesn't play, after all, Chen also has a good performance in the midfield position, but why let Chen play as a center forward? Is it just that joke? ”

"Mr. Wenger, play with scale, if you go too far, you will burn yourself!"

Manchester City's media have not commented on the matter, and if Arsene Wenger suddenly changes his mind and does not allow Chen Fan to play as a central striker, their current criticism will be in vain.

In addition, they are afraid that their own criticism will help Wenger change his mind.

……

At eight o'clock in the evening of the 16th, after the players had dinner, they went to browse the night view of Porto in twos and threes, but Chen Fan sat in Wenger's room.

"Coach, are you determined to let me play center?"

To be honest, today's training made Chen Fan very uncomfortable, and he had a feeling of "being too powerful".

Speed doesn't work, and long passes don't work.

Faced with a dense defence from defenders, he made several breakaways, only to succeed in a pitiful three times, completing only one goal.

Wenger poured Chen Fan a glass of pure water, looked at him with a smile and said, "Do you think I'm just joking with the media?" Or am I setting off smoke bombs? ”

Chen Fan nodded and said, "Isn't it?" ”

Arsene Wenger slowly wiped the smile from his face, looked at him seriously and said: "Without Van Persie, your long counterattacks are often in vain.

I know you or others would say, at least 'Chen's long ball counter-attack is very threatening, and Chan can also plug in.' ’”

Chen Fan thought for a while and said, "Isn't this statement unreasonable? ”

Arsene Wenger looked up at the ceiling, moved his sore neck a few times, looked at him and said: "Everyone has their own opinion on how to arrange the troops.

We don't judge whether these opinions are correct or not, we want to be reasonable!

What is reasonable?

It is to consider the whole situation according to the characteristics of the players in hand, and put them in a relatively suitable position! ”

That's right.

Chen Fan thought for a while and asked, "Then how should I kick?" ”
