The transfer window is not closed yet.

The scandals or soap operas of the stars in the Arsenal team are still not over, Henry and Barcelona, Qin Xiong and Real Madrid, when Henry does not take the initiative to express his position, Qin Xiong's contract renewal with Arsenal has not been officially finalized for a day, leaving room for reverie to the outside world.

Arsene Wenger will have to consider the following factors: if Arsenal fail to defend their title in the first half of the new season, will Qin Xiong and Thierry Henry choose to leave when the winter transfer window opens?

The importance of these two players to the team cannot be overstated.

With two days to go before the Premier League opener, Arsene Wenger came to the training ground and had a pragmatic conversation with the whole team.

Arsene Wenger did not show his attitude of defending the dignity of the team in front of the media, such as his insistence in front of the media that Arsenal is perfect, has the strongest squad, etc., and coaches who know a little about football know how lame Wenger's lies are.

Why is a full-fledged team made up of at least 20 players?

Why do you need so many substitutes?

It's because it's absolutely unrealistic to rely on 13 or 14 players to fight on multiple fronts, playing more than 50 games per capita without injuries!

Arsene Wenger spoke openly and honestly to the players about the plight of his team, with European football becoming more competitive every season and demanding more and more from the top teams, and Arsenal have been a bit out of touch at this time, and it must be admitted.

Even Real Madrid, which brings together so many big-name superstars, has lost to what in those two seasons? It's not that you lost to your opponent!

Instead, he lost to himself!

They collapsed at the end of the season due to physical exhaustion!

If it weren't for fitness, Real Madrid would not have been without success in the past two years.

So even if Wenger is right. Arsenal have what he thinks are the strongest players. The best player in line with Arsenal's football philosophy. But it's not enough, the thickness of the bench is a hard flaw!

Coupled with the impact of Patrick Vieira's departure, Cesc Fabregas's new role requires a period of adaptation, and the concept of playing a few games without pressure on the bench and playing the main team is completely different.

Arsene Wenger has taken into account all aspects of the game to set an overall strategy for Arsenal's campaign this season.

Had it not been for Chelsea's aggressiveness, and Arsenal's regrettable taste for the Champions Cup last season, Arsene Wenger probably wouldn't have made such a decision. It is true that he is full of confidence in the team's lineup, but there is always a clear gap from the highest throne, forcing him to learn lessons, coupled with the doubts about the future of Henry and Qin Xiong, and internal pressure also forces him to control the overall situation and lead Arsenal to reassure people with results.

Before Arsene Wenger made such a decision, the team that had in mind was Chelsea.

But it wasn't Jose Mourinho's Chelsea, it was the Chelsea of the season before that, when Ranieri and Abou crossed paths in 03/04.

That season had just ushered in the Abu era, kicking off the golden dollar football and allowing Chelsea to strengthen themselves in the transfer market. But Ranieri was not carried away by the strength of the squad, and he pragmatically laid out the core tactics for the team: counter-attack.

Since then. Chelsea is anti-counter, but it is different from Chelsea in the Mourinho era, the latter is to further sublimate the anti-counter, and there is an epoch-making reform in counter-attacking means, the rise of modern wingers!

Chelsea finished runners-up in the Premier League that season, and if you look at their results, you will find that Chelsea's home and away records are very balanced, with a second-place away record, just two points behind unbeaten Arsenal, and third in the league behind Arsenal and Manchester United.

It's fair to say that Chelsea have been more successful away from home than at home, after all, home has home advantage.

The reason for Ranieri's failure to challenge for the title is also clear: he lost at home.

With England teams having to attack at home and cater to the wishes of their home fans, few teams will put on a bucket formation at home, so Chelsea's counter-attacks have plenty of room to play on the road and be able to grab points without any adversity.

But when Chelsea is at home, they lack the means to tackle tough battles, and weak opponents can put down their hands to defend because of away games, so Chelsea is inferior to Arsenal in terms of attacking strength, thus losing to Arsenal by 9 points with a home record, and the difference between home and away is 11 points and ranks second in the league.

The problem facing Arsenal today is simple: they need to be pragmatic in securing their league results, while at the same time being so aggressive in attacking away from home last season, and there is no doubt that such problems will arise this season as well.

Therefore, Arsene Wenger has developed a counter-attacking tactic to face the league away from home, and a balance of attack and defense at home to ensure that the home team is not learning from Chelsea, but Chelsea is a team that has a solid record in the last two seasons on the road, and their success is worth watching.

Tactically, Arsenal can be regarded as a retrogression, in the early days of Arsene Wenger's arrival at Arsenal, Arsenal relied on the steady defense of the five elders at the back to revive with counter-attacking tactics.

Now, Arsenal need to be pragmatic and it is unlikely that Cesc Fabregas will be able to play more brilliantly and aggressively than last season after Vieira is gone.

Arsene Wenger admits that this season, due to the young players starting to take the lead, the team needs to adjust and run in.

When he informed everyone of his decision, no player would object, and in fact, he was not qualified to oppose it.

The state of the team is like this, Wenger's adjustment has his reasons, who has an opinion, what's the use of just opposing it? Can you give a better opinion?

There is no guarantee as to whether Arsene Wenger's adjustment is right or wrong.

We'll have to wait until the middle of the season or the end of the season to see what the effect will be.

Whether it will be a complete defeat or maintain glory in the cracks, we can only wait and see.

In specific tactical planning, Qin Xiong and Thierry Henry are the core of Wenger's list of top priorities.

Whether it's attacking at home or defending away, the team has to play around these two players.

Tactics are certainly not dead, but the ideas must be clear.

For example, when Henry has a chance on the front line, then the midfield line with Qin Xiong as the core must create opportunities for Henry, which is a tactical requirement that has always existed in the past.

And now, when Arsenal encounters iron buckets or dense defense more and more frequently, when Henry is difficult to find opportunities on the front line, then other teammates, including Henry, must do their best to create opportunities for Qin Xiong!

The flexibility of these requirements lies in the player's own on-field play.

Qin Xiong and Thierry Henry's sense of teamwork will also keep Wenger's tactical demands from being a static failure, and when they can create opportunities for their team-mates, they will naturally not hesitate to do so.

Arsenal, which is gradually out of touch with the times, is moving cautiously in the cracks (to be continued......
