Chapter 402 The league opens
The two men's holiday ends, and everyone returns to train to prepare for the upcoming new season. Arsenal's first round of the season's opponent is from West Ham United in Outer London.
Compared to Arsenal's no introduction during the transfer, West Ham United bought a lot of people this summer, spent 30 million pounds, and even loaned Jenkinson from Arsenal. Its strength seems to be strengthened somewhat compared to last season.
However, for Arsenal, even if West Ham United becomes stronger, it is limited. Arsenal's real enemies are Chelsea, Manchester City's double champions, Liverpool and Tottenham.
Chelsea has changed the least this summer. Manchester United and Liverpool have introduced many players, and Manchester City has not changed much. As for Tottenham, the lineup has not changed much, but many young players in Tottenham have to play games before they know.
Nothing happened to Arsenal in the next few days, so Arsenal can welcome the first league game of the season with the strongest lineup.
On August 8, the Premier League finally rekindled after more than two months and 76 days and nights, and the opening match of this season began between Manchester United and Tottenham.
After failing to chase Li Shou, Real Madrid turned its attention to Manchester United. Real Madrid has a tradition of poaching people from Manchester United, and Ronaldo was introduced from Manchester United.
Since he failed to pursue Li Shou, Manchester United's goal must be goalkeeper, and De Gea is currently the best performer among the Spanish new generation.
Except for the weird Li Shou, no one can refuse Real Madrid, and the same is true for De Gea. This goalkeeper is making a transfer because Real Madrid seduces him, so De Gea does not even make the roster in this opening game.
Although De Gea did not make it to the roster, Manchester United won the game in the end, but Manchester United won this game not easily, and even the only goal was the own goal scored by Tottenham himself.
Manchester United has invested a lot this summer. Even though Di Maria has returned a wave of blood when she transfers to Paris, Manchester United can be said to be quite dissatisfied with this game.
However, Manchester United's dissatisfaction has nothing to do with other teams. After the Manchester United game, the media turned their attention to other teams. As the defending champion, Arsenal is undoubtedly the most popular.
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 Arsenal will do in the new season.
Arsenal's attendance rate has always been very high, and it can be described as being full of games, especially after the performance improved last season, the Emirates Stadium exploded.
So this summer, Arsenal's season tickets were very popular. The season tickets have been sold out. Fans who have not bought them can only grab the tickets released before the game.
"Welcome everyone back, I am your old friend Andy." Andy Gray is still the commentator of Arsenal this season.
The pair "I am Paul Merson" is now very popular with Arsenal fans.
"Although the first game of the new season is about to begin, I have no expectations for the Arsenal." Andy Gray immediately started spraying Arsenal's summer transfer.
"Man, are you going to be rebel?" Paul Merson was actually very dissatisfied. As a meritorious player of Arsenal, he hopes that Arsenal will get better and stronger.
"Of course not. I am still a fan of Lee, but to be honest, Arsenal's confusing behavior is unacceptable." Indeed, Arsenal fans have protested many times this summer, and even beat Arsenal's official website, but these are useless. The one who really controls the team's transfer power is the boss Kroenke.
Arsenal is not Real Madrid. After Kroenke fully controlled Arsenal, Arsenal almost became Kroenke's private property, so Wenger couldn't do anything without Kroenke nodding.
Arsenal fans hate Kroenke very much, but fans hate it irrelevant to Kroenke because Kroenke knows very well that even if the fans hate themselves, they can only give themselves money to enter the stadium to support the team.
Unless fans can truly abandon the team and no longer come to support the scene, but does the fans really do it? Even if they are ultimately destroyed, it will only be Arsenal.
Arsenal is only a small part of Kroenke's many industries, and it is still a small part. At that time, he can completely leave.
"Hahaha~~~ With Kroenke here, I'm not surprised at all that Arsenal will be confused." Compared to Andy Gray, Paul Merson actually hates Kroenke more.
When the two started to focus on attacking Kroenke, Arsenal was making final preparations. In the home team's locker room, Wenger looked around for a week and said: "Many people outside are not optimistic about us now, but I don't think much of it. We are the defending champions and we can win the triple crown in three seasons. Why can't this season? Just because there are no signings this summer?"
"In my opinion, the team does not need to sign ups now, because the arsenal already has you and the best players in football today." Even though he knew that Wenger was telling a lie, the players were still very happy to hear it, but at the same time he was still holding his breath.
Since we can create the Triple Crown Championships by relying on our own last season, why is it not possible for the new season? We are still us, and the team that Triple Crown Championships last season, and there is no change in personnel.
With determination to prove to everyone, Arsenal players stepped onto the stadium to welcome the first league game of the season.
Goalkeeper Li Shou, the defense line from left to right Monreal, Mertesac, Koscheerny and Derbych, midfielder Coquelin, Ramsey, Casorla, forward Griezmann, Giroud and Sanchez.
Although Arsenal's starting lineup has not changed at all compared to last season, in fact, there are still some changes in tactics, that is, Griezmann's position is even higher.
After a season, Wenger also knew that Griezmann's threat on the wing could not be compared with Sanchez, but Griezmann was very conscious, so Wenger began to move Griezmann more to Giroud and play as the second striker in the new season.
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 for Cassorla.
Although Cazorla's speed is not fast, Cazorla's skills and dribbling are better than Griezmann. Besides, Griezmann can completely respond from the side in the middle of the horizontal movement.
So, although Arsenal's lineup has not changed, it does not mean that Arsenal's tactics have not changed. Moreover, after last season, Arsenal's players' strength has also increased, not to have rich experience.
