Football's hand covers the sky

Chapter 405 The Opening of the League

The vacation of the two is over, and everyone returns to training to prepare for the upcoming new season. Arsenal's first round opponent of this season is from West Ham United in outer London.

Compared with Arsenal's lack of any introductions during the transfer, West Ham United bought a lot of people this summer, spending 3000 million pounds before and after, and even rented Jenkinson from Arsenal. Compared with last season, their strength seems to have strengthened to a certain extent.

But for Arsenal, even if West Ham United becomes stronger, there is a limit. Arsenal's real enemies are Chelsea, Manchester City duo, Liverpool and Tottenham.

Chelsea has changed the least this summer. Manchester United and Liverpool have introduced many players. Manchester City has not changed much. As for Tottenham, the lineup has not changed much.

Nothing happened on Arsenal's side in the next few days, so Arsenal can welcome the first league game of the season with the strongest lineup.

On August 76th, the Premier League finally rekindled after more than two months and [-] days and nights, and the opening game of this season started between Manchester United and Tottenham.

After chasing Li Shou unsuccessfully, Real Madrid set their sights on Manchester United. Real Madrid has a tradition of poaching people from Manchester United. Ronaldo was introduced from Manchester United.

Since the pursuit of Li Shou failed, Manchester United's goal must be the goalkeeper, and De Gea is currently the best performer in the new generation of Spain.

Except for Li Shou, no one can refuse Real Madrid, and the same is true for De Gea. This goalkeeper is making a transfer because of Real Madrid's seduction, so De Gea didn't even make the squad for the opening game.

Although De Gea did not enter the squad, Manchester United finally won the game, but it was not easy for Manchester United to win this game. Even the only goal was an own goal scored by Tottenham.

Manchester United invested a lot this summer, even if Di Maria transferred to Paris and returned a wave of blood, so for this game, Manchester United can be said to be quite dissatisfied.

However, Manchester United's dissatisfaction has nothing to do with other teams. After the Manchester United game, the media shifted their attention to other teams. As the defending champion, Arsenal is undoubtedly the most concerned.

Arsenal's inaction this summer has been ridiculed by the media, and it is precisely because of this that the media wants to see what will happen to Arsenal in the new season.

Arsenal's attendance rate has always been high, and it can almost be described as a full stadium, especially after the record improved last season, the Emirates Stadium exploded.

Therefore, this summer, Arsenal's season tickets are very popular. At present, the season tickets have been sold out, and fans who have not bought them can only grab the tickets released before the game.

"Welcome back everyone, I am your old friend Andy" Andy Gray is still the Arsenal commentator this season.

The "I'm Paul Merson" duo are hugely popular with Arsenal fans right now.

"Although the first game of the new season is about to start, I don't have any expectations for Arsenal." Andy Gray immediately complained about Arsenal's summer transfer.

"Man, are you going to betray?" Paul Merson was actually very dissatisfied. As a meritorious player of Arsenal, he hoped that Arsenal would get better and stronger.

"Of course not, I'm still a fan of Lee, but to be honest, Arsenal's deceptive behavior is unacceptable." Indeed, Arsenal fans have protested many times this summer, and even blasted Arsenal's official website, but these are useless. The real master of the team's transfer power is the owner Kroenke.

Arsenal is not Real Madrid. After Kroenke took full control of Arsenal, Arsenal almost became Kroenke's private property, so Wenger can't do much without Kroenke nodding.

Arsenal fans hate Kroenke very much, but the fans' hatred is irrelevant to Kroenke, because Kroenke knows very well that even if the fans hate themselves, they can only obediently send money to enter the stadium to support the team.

Unless the fans can really abandon the team and no longer come to the scene to support, but can the fans really do it?Even if it is finally destroyed, it will only be Arsenal.

Arsenal is only a small part of Kroenke's many properties, and it is still a small part. At that time, he can completely withdraw and leave.

"Hahaha~~~With Kroenke here, I am not surprised that Arsenal will have any confusing behavior." Compared with Andy Gray, Paul Merson actually hates Kroenke more.

When the two began to attack Kroenke intensively, Arsenal was making final preparations. In the home team's dressing room, Wenger looked around for a week and then said: "Many people outside are not optimistic about us, but I don't think so much. We are the defending champions. We can win the Triple Crown in three seasons, so why not this season? Just because there are no signings this summer?"

"In my opinion, the team doesn't need signings now, because Arsenal already has you, the best players in today's football." Knowing that what Wenger said was a lie, the players were still very happy to hear it, and at the same time held their breath.

Since we were able to create the treble with ourselves last season, why not in the new season? We are still us, the team that won the treble last season, and no one has changed in personnel.

With determination to prove to everyone, Arsenal's players stepped onto the pitch for their first league game of the season.

Goalkeeper Li Shou, defense from left to right Monreal, Mertesacker, Koscielny and Debug, midfielder Coquelin, Ramsey, Cazorla, striker Griezmann, Giroud, Sanchez.

Although Arsenal's starting lineup has not changed from last season, there are actually some tactical changes, that is, Griezmann's position is higher.

After a season, Wenger also knew that Griezmann's threat on the wing could not be compared with that of Sanchez, but Griezmann had a good sense, so in the new season, Wenger began to let Griezmann move more laterally to Giroud, playing the second forward position.

At the same time, Sanchez's position will be more free, and the two sides can switch at will, and the gap left by Griezmann can also be made up by Cazorla.

Although Cazorla's speed is not fast, Cazorla's foot skills and dribbling are better than Griezmann's. Besides, Griezmann in the lateral movement can completely support him on one side.

Therefore, even though Arsenal's lineup has not changed, it does not mean that Arsenal's tactics have not changed, and after last season, the strength of Arsenal's players has also increased, let alone rich experience.

Even last season's Triple Crown is a kind of tempering for players in all aspects, so Arsenal in the new season is still somewhat different from last season.
