Chapter 379 Retirement decision, career final chapter

Beat Southampton and grab Van Dyke!

This is one of the most popular topics on domestic social media. Countless creators have created many small animations based on this sentence, and by the way, they also imagined the heights that Arsenal could reach after Virgil Van Dyke arrived at Arsenal!

At this moment, Arsenal's official website released a crucial news!

Per Mertsacker, the captain who has been injured in Arsenal, and the German champion central defender, announced his decision to retire!

In July 2016, Per Mertsack was injured in cartilage in Arsenal's friendly against Lens, resulting in five months of absence.

At the end of December 2016, after Perl Mertesack recovered from injury, he strained his knee in the reserve team game.

In another timeline, Per Mertsack, who recovered from injury at the end of January 2017, would sit on the bench until the last round of the league, and he played a game for Arsenal, and he still came on as a substitute in the second half!

Finally, after the end of the season, it was announced that it would retire after playing for Arsenal for another year in the 2017-2018 season!

In the 2017-2018 season, this 198cm German central defender had no chance to play all season and did not play even a minute of game for Arsenal!

The 2015-2016 season is definitely a "hard" season for Per Mertsack!

The original German fellow Mesut Ozil left Arsenal, and the planned German fellow Schkodran Mustafi was rejected by Arsenal and finally went to Chelsea. The team introduced Paris Saint-Germain's David Luis and Bolton's Rob Holding!

In addition, in the competition between Laurent Koscheerney and Gabriel, who was more optimistic about the future, was introduced! And some other marginal center backs, Arsenal still has no shortage of personnel in the central defender position!

At the same time, the departure of the fellow villager made Per Mertsak very sad. Coupled with the long-term injury and growing age, the team's central defender position was sufficient and the rumors that the team wanted to pursue Virgil Van Dijk!

Pell Mertesack knew that his football career had come to an end! Emirates Stadium no longer had his own position, and Arsenal's position on the ship leading to brilliant!

When he asked the new physical coach Charles, the other party told Pell Mertesack about his physical condition in a simple sentence!

The Arsenal captain, watching the club's sings this season and the young people on the court, knew in his heart that it was time to end his career!

He made the decision to retire!

In 2011, Per Mertsack transferred from Bundesliga Werder Bremen to Arsenal. Per Mertsack, who is low-key but still has the tough will of the traditional German, was soon reused by Arsenal Wenger.

His outstanding heading ability and excellent prediction ability make him complement his partner with Koscheerney.

After Pell Mertesack's decision to retire, except for the Arsenal fans who were a little sad and the club made a move to keep them, other netizens and fans were quite happy!

[Who said that Arsenal will sell its captain every year! Will Mertesacker die in his life!]

[I heard that Mertsack's farewell match seems to be in Hannover 96!]

[Where is Hannover 96 team? It seems that it is Mertesak's parent team?]

[I heard that Van Dijk seems to have one concern that there are too many Arsenal centre-backs]

[Hiss, what do you mean is that Van Dijk is coming to Arsenal? Isn’t Arsenal just walking sideways? Just be at an awesome center!]

[No, center, I think Big Giroud is also good. The king is over the earth tiger. Only I, Big Giroud, don’t look down on our slap center!]

Pell Mertsack's retirement is like a drop of water dripping into the sea of ​​football, causing a little turbulence, and most people don't care much about it!

Time flows, and slowly it is the FA Cup in England. Southampton has the advantage of home court and looks grand!

At St. Mary's Stadium, Southampton fans occupied the favorable terrain early, shouting the home team's name in the stands and shouting slogans!

Most of the slogans are chaotic, but only one sentence is clear and clear!

"We want to eliminate you again!"

The elimination mentioned by Southampton fans refers to the fact that Arsenal missed the next round of the game because of losing to Southampton!

Arsenal fans are certainly dissatisfied with such provocations from Southampton fans!

They organized a counterattack, and it was also messy at the beginning, but soon they found the pain points in Southampton!

The most eye-catching star in Southampton is Virgil Van Deck. In response to this, Arsenal fans shouted in unison: "Win the game and grab Virgil!"

They responded to the conversation between the two sides before the game, proving that Arsenal was better than Southampton, and then completed the transfer of Virgil Van Dijk, allowing Virgil Van Dijk to change the style of the red and white jersey!

Southampton players walked into the stadium wearing red and white striped shirts, while Arsenal players wore golden away jerseys. There were verbal battles at the pre-match press conference!

Virgil Van Dijk holds his head up and has his unique defensive skills. His performance in the national team and in the club is always recognized by people, which also gives him enough confidence in his heart!

Southampton ranked 11th in the league this season, ranking seventh in the entire league with goals conceded, and his defense is quite good. Among them, Virgil Van Dijk, as the core of the defense, made an indelible contribution!

He integrated Southampton’s defense into a whole!

His physical quality is only part of his defensive ability. His strongest point is his command ability and his defensive needle-like role!

This is also why on another timeline, after Virgil Van Dijk joined Liverpool, the team's performance on the defensive end seemed to have changed one after another!

“Leave it to me!”

"Please pay attention to assisting defense and ensure your position!"

Virgil Van Dyke said, and turned his eyes to Chen Yuyuan!

The first professor of the two, Virgil Van Dijk, did not get any advantage, but Virgil Van Dijk did not think that the other party's ability was far superior to his own!

He believed more that this was just an "omitation" caused by his lack of familiarity with the other party!

Arsenal is not a "good team" for Virgil Van Dijk!

At the beginning, the fans' boycott of the head coach last season and the stingy in the transfer market!

What is the operation of a team of Arsenal's level introducing Peter Cech last season!

Virgil Van Dijk couldn't understand it, but it also made him feel that Arsenal is not that "professional". Even if he wants to leave, he can find a better club at the end of the season!
Chapter completed!
