Wenger can be so confident in this north London derby, naturally there is something to rely on - although the slogan shouted before leaving London does have a bit of chicken soup for the soul, but the professor does think from the bottom of his heart that the current Arsenal has reached the peak, in terms of strength alone, absolutely not lost to any top giants!

You know, Arsenal not only retained the entire main framework this summer, upgraded the squad, but also spent a whole summer grinding the team. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 InfoPatrick Vieira, who was once rumored to be a departure scandal, finally decided to stay in Highbury after a lengthy transfer soap opera with Real Madrid, stabilizing Arsenal's morale. At the same time, the growth of newcomers such as Reyes, Klich and Chloe Toure who joined Arsenal's first team last season has been quite encouraging, and their rapid maturation has both further strengthened Arsenal's overall strength and greatly enriched the Gunners' tactical arsenal. In addition, players such as Robin van Persie and Flamini, who joined Arsenal this summer, have also shown good potential, making Arsenal's already thin bench depth thicker.

Compared to Arsenal, which have further strengthened their existing allocation, Tottenham have lost four big players in the summer transfer window, including Robbie Keane, Luca Toney, Carrick and Heinze. This level of loss is enough for Tottenham to face the dilemma of overturning a whole set of mature tactical play. Even if George brings in new signings such as Xavi Alonso, Patrice Evra and Klose as replacements for the likes of Carrick, Wenger does not think Tottenham can revert to their original form.

In Wenger's view, the relative stability of the main squad and the mature tactical system are the foundation for a team to achieve good results. Too much player turnover and inconsistent style of play make it difficult for a team to achieve desired results even if the team is strong on paper. Therefore, when he saw Tottenham make such a low-level mistake, it naturally made Wenger have a feeling - this is stable!

On top of that, many of Tottenham's players, such as Cech, Cristiano Ronaldo, Arjen Robben and Davies, have played in the European Championship in Portugal and have all reached the semi-finals and even the final. Although Arsenal also has many players participating in the European Cup, none of the main players have reached the semi-finals of the European Championship with the team. In this way, the Arsenal players naturally have a greater advantage in terms of physical fitness!

Don't underestimate the difference between these two games. Cristiano Ronaldo and Arjen Robben have only played one or two more games in the European Championship than the likes of Ljungberg and Thierry Henry, but they have at least a week less time to rest than the latter in the summer. For a professional player, a week of vacation is missing, and it is difficult to completely eliminate and recover from the fatigue and various hidden dangers accumulated in the body after a season, and it is naturally difficult to ensure the competitive state after the start of the new season.

It is for these two reasons that Wenger believes that his side still has a considerable chance of winning this head-to-head clash with Tottenham.

"Charlie, believe it or not, Wenger must have thought that as long as they can play to their physical strengths, they can beat us in the Community Shield?" However, just when Wenger was full of confidence and thought that his side had a great advantage, he had already led the team to finish a full day of training, and George sat in the senior suite, smiling and saying to Charlie Johnson, who had come to discuss tactics with him.

"George, I think it's very likely to happen and deserves to be taken seriously. Regarding George's ridiculous statement, the old Charlie, who has always been serious, did not echo it, but frowned and said his opinion, "Although Arsenal's goal is still very obvious, and most of the players have experience in dealing with Arsenal, the problem is that if you want to block Arsenal's central attack, you must have enough physical strength to support it." Otherwise, the team will easily be weak in the game, and Arsenal will tear apart the defense in one fell swoop, and then lose the game. ”

"Well, Charlie, you're right, in terms of fitness, our side is really at a disadvantage, and that's something to look out for. George nodded his head to acknowledge Charlie Sr.'s concerns, and then suddenly changed his tone and said, "But Charlie, are you overlooking something? Don't forget, the reason why we were able to keep Arsenal winless in the north London derby last season was not just by relying on a strategy of defending the center and putting it on the sidelines. ”

"Huh?" said George, old Charlie's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he guessed, "George, do you plan to play against Arsenal in the game like you did last time?" But in that case, the players' physical fitness is still an unavoidable problem - this kind of fast-paced attack also requires a lot of physical strength." ”

"Since we can't defend at high intensity due to fitness issues, we might as well give it a chance and play against Arsenal. At least by doing so, we have a better chance of winning this game than we are on the counter-attack. George shrugged his shoulders and put on a confident look, "Although Arsenal's defense last season was the second best in the Premier League (the best being George Hotspur, who only conceded 20 goals in total over the course of the season), it doesn't mean that Wenger is good at tweaking his defence. If that were the case, Arsenal wouldn't have lost 4-1 to us at White Hart Lane just over three months ago. ”

For the question raised by old Charlie, George naturally thought about it seriously before. And this is also the decision that George made after some careful consideration - since Tottenham are plagued by fitness problems and are destined to perform at the normal level at both ends of the game, it is good to concentrate on one end!

Arsenal's defence last season was second only to Tottenham Hotspur among all 20 teams in the Premier League, but the Gunners have never been known for their defensive solidity. Especially now that Patrick Vieira and Campbell, the two central figures who underpinned the Gunners' defensive system, are at their peak, it is clearly an unrealistic fantasy for Arsenal to play at the defensive level like they did last season.

This isn't George talking nonsense. In George's previous life, the 03-04 season was the only season in which the Gunners did not concede more than 30 league goals since Campbell joined Arsenal. In the four years that Campbell and Vieira have been together, the Gunners have conceded more than 40 goals in two seasons, including the 01-02 season when the Gunners last won the league!

Therefore, in George's view, when the physical fitness of his own players is at a disadvantage, the chance of letting the team play offense instead of defense is undoubtedly greater than playing half-time offensive and defensive drills with Arsenal.

With that, the time came on August 8, and the confident George and Arsene Wenger led their players to the Cardiff Millennium Stadium on time. Clearly, both men are looking forward to lifting the trophy in front of their arch-rivals and are ready to announce to the whole of English football that their team is the best in England!
