Arsenal!

Last season's Champions League title is still very shocking to say, but Zhang Yang has a reason to disdain, because Arsenal's championship has his share of credit.

Others don't know the situation, but when Millwall beat Arsenal, Zhang Yang's heart fluctuated very little.

In the eyes of outsiders, the battle between Arsenal and Millwall is the focus of the league before Christmas, and the media continues to make fiery pre-match reports, and the views of Zhang Yang are somewhat different.

In Zhang Yang's view, Arsenal is much easier to deal with than Chelsea and Manchester United.

This is not to disdain Arsenal's strength, but Millwall's tactics, playing Arsenal is a little restrained, in addition, Arsenal has long passed its peak, and it is still in the transition stage, it is really difficult to say what strength can be played.

Arsenal's transformation is based on manager Arsene Wenger's determination to 'rejuvenate' the team.

Wenger has talked to Zhang Yang in this regard, and he believes that Arsenal must be young to be long-term, but Wenger's 'younger' line, without the support of large sums of money, will definitely experience some small setbacks.

For example, in the middle of last season, Arsene Wenger insisted on developing young players, and Arsenal's results were also affected, finishing fifth at the end of the season.

After the World Cup, Arsene Wenger continued his usual style of recruitment: picking crows, two outstanding talents, and buying some young players with potential to develop them with Arsenal's reminders.

Rosicky is Arsenal's biggest signing.

Rosicky joined Arsenal from Borussia Dortmund and took over the number seven shirt left by Pire, while also keen to build on Pire's success at Highbury.

Rosicky has long been famous, his fame has spread all over the Europa, and the media has commented on him as "outstanding skills, strange passing, strong overall view, good at attacking and defending, thin but amazing physical strength." After the successful transfer to Arsenal, the media added, "The shadows of Viji and Pire can be seen overlapping on him, and his style of advocating technology complements the Gunners, and if it can be run in well, it will be another sharp weapon in the arsenal." ”

Arsenal continue on a youthful path, with a reasonable overall age structure and a good amount of energy compared to previous seasons.

Henry, Ljungberg, Gilberto, Rosicky and other former scales are in the golden age of their careers; And players such as Cesc Fabregas, Toure, and Senderos in the backfield have all grown rapidly in the last season.

In addition, Robin van Persie and Bam Adebayor have also proven that they are fully qualified to partner Thierry Henry.

Such an Arsenal team is full of prospects.

But the 'prospects' are 'prospects' after all, Arsenal's younger pace is only halfway, they are still working the road, on the whole, they just have more prospects, not necessarily better than last season.

When the match at the Emirates Stadium officially began, the media compared the ugly looks of Arsenal and Millwall, and it was also Millwall who was praised: Millwall was more capable and younger.

At present, Arsenal's biggest headache is Henry's injury, Henry is the soul of Arsenal, it is difficult for other players to replace his role, Baptista and Adebayo, who started the game, are not the kind of players who jump on the beam alone, which is a bit difficult to trust, and compared with Darren Bent, the top scorer in the Premier League, the gap is really a bit obvious.

Arsenal have the advantage of attacking and back, and Thierry Henry's injury has given Millwall the upper hand in attack, and the midfielder says they are even more incomparable.

Millwall's starting 'double midfielder' was Simpson and Braniff, both of whom were young players, but their past performances were much better than those of Denilson and Cesc Fabregas, and the flanks were still a combination of Pire and Quaresma, which was also better than Rosicky and Hleb.

The player in focus of the game was Pire.

After Pire's first game against his old club after joining Millwall, it was still very attractive, and the camera footage of the live game also kept pointing at Pire, and the commentator kept mentioning Pire's name.

Arsenal have changed pitches this season: they have used the newly built Emirates Stadium, while Highbury, with its illustrious history and memory, has been abandoned.

This is a big event in Arsenal's history.

The reason why Arsenal's transfer strategy is 'poor' is also related to the opening of the new goal, and they will be saddled with huge bank loans for many years to come.

Pire's first time against his old club was at the new Emirates Ball Kitchen, and it was also his first time to come to this club for an official match, standing on an unfamiliar field, even the excitement of playing against his old club was reduced a lot.

At this time, Zhang Yang was also looking around.

Emirates Stadium.

The construction of this stadium is an important strategy for Arsenal, who were previously known as one of the world's most famous balls in Highbury Stadium, but Arsenal realised that they needed to compete with the best clubs in Europe, and they had to have a bigger and more luxurious stadium.

Arsene Wenger was the first to propose the construction of the new stadium, and after the Chiefs were paid, Wenger was interviewed to answer questions about the new stadium, saying, "I don't remember exactly when I proposed the construction of the stadium to the board, probably after we won the 'Double' in 1998, although I was actively involved in this matter, I am not a director, so I am only involved as an adviser, I am just as the manager of the team, I have a responsibility to contribute to the growth of the club. And it's important for the club to have a vision. ”

Wenger added: "This is the most important decision in Arsenal's history since Chapman was brought in in 1925. ”

In order to attract various sponsorship funds, Arsenal signed a sponsorship contract with Emirates Airlines worth a total of 100 million pounds, the new stadium was named the Emirates Stadium, the stadium naming rights are for a period of 15 years, and from this season, Emirates will replace O2 as the main sponsor of Arsenal's jerseys for up to eight years.

The new stadium, which cost £470 million to build, is indeed quite luxurious, one of the best in the world, and it is difficult for any team to compare with it.

Zhang Yang thought back to the bleak Neil Stadium, and suddenly felt a little envious and jealous of Arsenal.

"If you're in charge of Millwall for a long time, maybe you should also invest in a new stadium for the club?"

Zhang Yang thought.

Soon Zhang Yang gave up on this tempting idea.

Millwall is different from Arsenal, Zhang Yang is not the same as Wenger, Arsenal has been completely branded by Wenger, and Wenger will continue to coach Arsenal for a long time.

The two are indistinguishable from each other.

The relationship between Zhang Yang and Millwall has not reached that point, and he has not thought about whether he will continue to coach, and it makes no sense if the new stadium is not new.

As for the envy and jealousy in my heart

In this luxurious stadium, under the watchful eyes of nearly 70,000 Arsenal fans, beating the home team Arsenal can be regarded as a way to relieve hatred.

Zhang Yang's eyes were different when he looked at the game.

————

The competition was very intense.

Arsenal is not like Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Millwall are playing normal games, and Wenger's style of play is based on attacking and suppressing.

That's what Arsenal are good at.

Millwall's 'two-core' tactics were also more attack-oriented, so from the first minute of the game, the two sides collided head-on, back and forth, and the game was very interesting.

Sky Sports commentator Paul Scott said excitedly, "It seems that Arsenal and Millwall will bring a culinary battle to the fans together today. ”

"It's a pre-Christmas party, and it's a Christmas present to the fans from both teams!"

As Paul Scott said, every fan is focused on watching the game, and the Premier League is hard to see the collision of technical football, and it would be nice if the two teams against each other didn't defend all of them.

In the contest between Arsenal and Millwall last season, Arsenal played very conservatively, while Millwall looked like they were completely defending and counterattacking, and the game became very boring.

Over the course of the season, the game has changed style.

Arsenal constantly use the attack to suppress Millwall, and Millwall's constant cooperation is also dazzling.

It's a feast for cooking and football!

When the camera pointed to the Arsenal dugout, the manager Wenger watched the game intently, as if he didn't want to leave a minute or a second.

Zhang Yang still maintains his own unique style - he plays with the dice in his hand, and he still looks around, occasionally turning his head to say to Wise, but he doesn't have much energy to focus on the game.

Under the camera lens, you can notice that Zhang Yang's face is very relaxed.

"Zhang Yang is still like that." Paul Scott smiled wryly, "Even against Arsenal, he still doesn't pay much attention, maybe that's his style, maybe he's confident in the game. ”

In the past, if he put on this appearance, he would definitely be criticized by the media, "arrogant" and "disrespectful to opponents", but now it is different, and the media says that it is a "unique style".

That's what good results bring.

In fact, Zhang Yang is indeed very confident that compared to Manchester United, Chelsea and even Liverpool, Millwall will play Arsenal much easier.

The strength of this Arsenal squad is somewhat inferior to Millwall.

In addition to the relatively strong defensive lineup at the back, Arsenal's midfield appearance is not very good, especially with Thierry Henry's injury, they are no longer as good as Millwall.

Wenger has been making the team 'younger', maybe the general direction is right, but Arsenal, who has not succeeded in 'youngening', is still relatively inexperienced, and Millwall also has a lot of young players, but whether it is Braniff, Simpson, or Darren Bent, Quaresma, they are all players who have played a lot of games, they are the absolute main force of Millwall, coupled with the tactical emphasis on players, Millwall has an advantage in eating Arsenal in the middle.
