With Sutton United located on the outskirts of London, this match can be seen as a London derby in a way.

At Friday's pre-match press conference, Arsenal boss Arsène Wenger was in a good mood and had a good conversation with reporters.

The line-up against Sutton United –

Normal squad, I gave some of the players a chance in the last round of the FA Cup, they did a good job and some of them might get another chance.

On the starting goalkeeper –

With three world-class goalkeepers in the squad, it's really hard to choose. It's a happy annoyance, we can only see who is in better shape before the game.

Is the FA Cup the best hope? ——

The FA Cup has always been one of our goals, it's an important game and I've always taken it seriously. When it comes to squad selection, I think about it a week or 10 days in advance. The game against Bayern Munich will not affect my choice.

Everybody will be rooting for Sutton United, that's the hallmark of the FA Cup, and the smaller teams will always have unexpected performances in the cup.

Talking about his future -

I'm used to gossip, I've been here for 20 years, it's important to get things done, and I'm doing a job for the masses, so I can only accept the fact that everyone will have a point of view. I don't want to talk about my future, my future is not important, what matters is the team and this club. We should focus on the issues at hand, on the way the team plays, not on my future. In any case, I will continue to be a coach next season, whether I stay at Arsenal or not, that's for sure. I hate losing, I hate losing. I have my own responsibility for this club, and it's not easy to carry, but I have the strength and experience. It's important for the club to make the right decisions and my 20 years of work have included a lot of love for the club. I've had many opportunities to leave, but I care about this club and its future, and it's important to manage the club soundly.

On Alex Sanchez leaving London on the second day of the match -

He went to Spain to deal with the lawsuit and will return to the team for training tomorrow. He's good here, he's scored a crucial away goal at the Allianz Arena, he's the team's top scorer and he is in good hopes for his first career Golden Boot this season.

……

Kearney training base, indoor training ground, Zhang Zhetian bent down and touched the lawn, frowning slightly.

FA Cup opponents Sutton United are non-professional league teams and with Arsenal's quality, promotion is expected, but the artificial turf at Sutton United's home stadium, Green Cocks Lane, could be a potential threat.

In order to adapt to artificial turf, Arsenal players have been training on indoor artificial turf pitches for the past few days.

However, in order to win, Sutton's home stadium may be watered before the game to make the turf wet, which will make the ball faster.

This kind of turf will give the player a more stiff feeling, the pressure on the joints is not the same, and it is not possible to intercept the ball with a tackle every time, especially the ball will suddenly roll over, and it will accelerate in the roll, not slow down like on the traditional turf, so you need to adapt to different ball speeds in training.

For the goalkeeper, it is a huge test, if the opponent's shot is close to the ground, the goalkeeper's reaction and strength are more rigorous, especially if you fall on the artificial turf and may hurt the skin.

"Do you want to wear trousers?" Peter Cech said to Palm Zhetian.

"Let's talk about it depending on the weather." Zhang Zhetian said helplessly.

Why are we away, can we apply to play at home?

"Congratulations on being voted Champions League Player of the Week." Cech smiled and congratulated Zhang.

Not long ago, UEFA officially announced the best player in the Champions League this week, Arsenal goalkeeper Zhang Zhetian was successfully elected, he contributed a number of wonderful saves in the team's 1-1 draw with Bayern Munich, if it were not for the refracting ball, Bayern would have been difficult to get a point.

In addition to him, Karim Benzema, Edson Morales and Angel Di Maria were also shortlisted for the Champions League Player of the Week award for their outstanding performances.

Benfica's Brazil international Ederson is the same goalkeeper as Zhang Zhetian and kept a clean sheet at home to Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund.

"Thank you," said Zhangzhetian, after thanking him, he looked at Cech, his mouth moved, and he stopped talking.

As if he understood what he wanted to say, Cech stopped and smiled: "You deserve all this, but you have to be careful, I have been preparing, as long as you make a mistake, you have to give up this position." ”

After that, he walked to the goalkeeper coach and started training.

"I'm not going to give you this chance, Peter." Palm Zhe Tian's mouth curled, and he said secretly.

"Boss, do you really want to take a risky approach?" Steve Boulder said worriedly.

In the last Champions League game, it was completely suppressed by Bayern in the second half, and if it weren't for the performance of Zhang Zhetian, Arsenal would have been lucky not to concede more than three goals.

Mentally aside, from a tactical point of view, the unchanging tactical style of play is no longer applicable in today's era, Wenger is well aware of his shortcomings in on-the-spot command and substitutions, and among the players under his team, except for Mesut Ozil, Alex Sanchez, Petr Cech and Sante Cazorla, none of the players can adjust themselves to the situation on the pitch according to their tactical requirements. So every year Arsenal drop the chain at a critical moment, and injuries and suspensions of key players are the most important factors in it.

As Petr Cech is a traditional goal-line goalkeeper, his form has become less precarious as he has aged since suffering a head injury. Nowadays, more and more teams are using high pressing tactics to become the mainstream, and the requirements for the ability of midfield players to play the ball are getting higher and higher.

Those who know Arsenal know that Spanish midfielder Cazorla, who is the team's metronome, is very important to the team, and his skillful two-foot technique, timing and passing are unmatched. So during his absence, the Gunners' performances were up and down, very inconsistent.

Arsene Wenger has been trying to figure out how to solve this problem, but there is simply no replacement for Cazorla in the market at the moment. The hegemon of Ligue 1, Paris, has one, but the starting price of 100 million euros is not enough to sell half of Arsenal's main force.

'I want the boss to be the playmaker and the starting point of the attack at the back, and I think he can do what Santi does. Arsene Wenger said hopefully.

Can clear the ball with a header, can tackle and destroy, can attack the organization, can get rid of the pass, the range of movement almost covers your own half, uh, the author, are you sure you are talking about the goalkeeper?

"What Neuer can do, he can do, and he will do it better than him." Arsene Wenger's eyes fell on Zhang Zhetian, who was training: "He will become the first goalkeeper ever to decide the outcome of the game!" ”
