Chapter 01: The New Season Arrives
Arsenal have been in great form recently, and the team is assembled for the new season, and Arsenal at this time is fully prepared for the start of the new season. Because the Premier League has a more intensive schedule than other leagues, Arsenal naturally need to be more prepared in order to have a better form in the new season. Arsenal in the new season naturally needs to pay more in order to fight for more honors, and Arsenal's serious injuries last season made Arsenal understaffed, especially in the sprint stage of Zuihou, the players' physical fitness is more or less in crisis, so now Arsenal naturally needs more preparation.
Xiao Qing is in a great mood, and the Gunners who have returned to Kearney training base are looking forward to the new season; In this off-season, Arsenal's players are obviously not too indulgent, at least in the team's medical examination, the overall level of Arsenal's players is still guaranteed. Although the current form is not at its peak at all, the training camp almost half a month in advance can enable Arsenal to find their form at the beginning of the new season.
In the transfer market, Arsenal have no pride as ever, Koscielny to fill the gap, Chamak is just the icing on the cake, to make a breakthrough in the new season, Wenger is clear that it depends on the team's own potential.
The age structure determines that many of Arsenal's young players may go to a higher level in the new season, and if Nasri, Walcott, Wilshere and others can really improve another piece as Wenger said, then the improvement of the team cannot be underestimated, which is also the key to Arsenal's steady improvement in the new season.
'My heart belongs to Arsenal and I want to see this team win the title. Signing a new contract means I can see these talented youngsters reach their full potential, believe me. They're ready. I'm with my coaching staff, with the players. In front of an exciting challenge. We look forward to more success. "Just before the start of the new season, Arsenal received good news, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger and the team signed a three-year contract extension until 2014, with such an experienced helmsman at the helm, Arsenal also has a clearer way forward.
'I'm confident in my team, we have a lot of potential to tap into and I'm going to keep fighting here.' Arsene Wenger is in a good mood after the contract extension, or Arsenal can win the league title last season and make a breakthrough to win the Champions League, which makes the French old man have a stronger determination, "Our goal for the new season is to win the championship. We had some good performances last season, but we still need to improve in the new season. Nobody hates champions, and being able to play for a great club for more than a decade is to get more honours for her. The new season is about to start, we're ready as a family, and we're going to fight for glory. ”
Arsene Wenger has renewed his contract with the club and has repeatedly stated that the team is really capable of competing for the title this season, and successive victories in the warm-up games and the Emirates Cup are also good performances. However, these games before the start of the season are more about finding the form of the players, and Arsenal's opponents are actually teams of comparable strength.
However, in pre-season warm-up games such as the Emirates Cup, it has been found that the "stubborn disease" of Arsenal's poor defensive ability of high-altitude balls cannot be eradicated. Koscielny has been doing well in training and warm-up games recently, with the two centre-backs, notably Vermaelen, bouncing well. There is a threat to assist, but they are all less than 1.9 meters tall. Positional warfare is easy to lose when defending high-altitude balls. Although Arsenal maintained a strong attacking ability in the warm-up games, Arsenal also continued to play poorly defensively.
Maybe the current Arsenal still has such and such shortcomings, but Arsenal is still very competitive, because Arsenal's current core squad is still stable, because Arsenal's tactics are becoming more and more mature, and of course, because of the strong performance of Xiao Qing's absolute core.
In the warm-up games, Xiao Qing actually did not show the invincible goal state of last season, but Xiao Qing's performance in these warm-up games is actually reasonable; Although it has been more than a month off, Xiao Qing seems to be in good shape, and Xiao Qing seems to be continuing to improve after a phenomenal performance last season.
Xiao Qing consciously did not exert his full strength in these warm-up games, but Xiao Qing's ability to control the ball and break through was undoubtedly further at this time, he was able to enter the opponent's penalty area frequently and easily, and Xiao Qing sent threatening passes to his teammates in the penalty area again and again. At this time, Xiao Qing is becoming more and more like a general, and he doesn't need to use his performance to help the team score goals all the time, completely revitalize the team's offense, and let his teammates integrate more into tactics is now Xiao Qing's new pursuit.
Arsenal are looking forward to the new season with great ambitions, and the defending champions of the new season, Arsenal, do not seem to have too many favorable schedules; In the official Premier League schedule for the 2010/11 season, Arsenal faced Liverpool in the first round, and the Gunners are heading to Anfield to start their new season. Arsenal's first home game is against promoted horse Blackpool, while in the 7th round, Arsenal will play Chelsea away, and in the 17th round, the Gunners will go to Old Trafford to challenge Manchester United.
In November, Arsenal will have a series of devilish fixtures, starting from the 13th round, Arsenal will play Everton, Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, Fulham, Manchester United, Stoke City, Chelsea, if the Gunners want to do well in the new season and even win the title, they must go this way!
Seeing the team's schedule for the new season, Xiao Qing felt a little numb, although Xiao Qing knew that these opponents would definitely be met in the league, but Xiao Qing definitely hoped to be relatively relaxed in this process, and he didn't want to encounter a series of strong opponents in the devil's schedule without a break. And the confrontation with strong opponents such as Chelsea and Manchester United really needs to be cautious, and the schedule of away and then home is not favorable; Because this is the biggest opponent in the league, in a whole season's competition, even if you only occupy the initiative in the standings for a while, you can put a lot of pressure on the opponent.
Arsenal's move in the transfer market is basically halted right now, and they really don't need to have too much action right now; Perhaps Arsenal will still be hoping to improve in positions such as goalkeepers, but it seems difficult to buy players who can be accepted by Arsene Wenger right now.
Xiao Qing is full of expectations for the coming of the new season, although the first game of the new season is to meet Liverpool in BIG4 is not haode news, but in last season's Arsenal home and away double defeat Liverpool, then the current Arsenal also has enough confidence to continue to completely suppress Liverpool this season.
Relatively speaking, Arsenal still has a certain initiative in the opening game of the new season, because Arsenal was the league champion last season, and their core squad has not changed, so Arsenal's squad is obviously more dominant. Liverpool is also changing managers in the new season, and the current Reds may still continue to be familiar with the tactics of the new manager, and this is definitely good news for Arsenal, they can take advantage of the current Liverpool not being at their best form to seize the opportunity.
Arsenal will be looking to continue the excellent results of last season and will be looking to be more successful in the new season, so they will have to work harder at this time, they will need to beat good opponents and they will need to push back those who are likely to pose a threat to them.
Xiao Qing is gearing up, and the success of last season has undoubtedly made the morale of Arsenal's players even higher; There may be some pride, but there is absolutely no complacency, because the Gunners also know that their team is not truly invincible right now. So now the Gunners are still very serious, they are preparing for the new season with all their might, they are seriously preparing for the opening game of the new season.
Liverpool are a good opponent, they are still very strong; However, the Gunners will be confident of a good start to the new season at Anfield, a win they will need to get and they will need to get an exciting start to the new season and they will need to establish a certain advantage from the start. Arsenal are ambitious to achieve even more results in the new season, and they need to prove that their success last season was not just lucky, they need to prove that Arsenal are strong enough to make big waves.
The first leg of the new season is a game that must be taken seriously, Arsenal do not want to be passive from the start, Arsenal want to prove that they are strong, they need to establish the advantage and the initiative from the start. So Liverpool may be gradually out of the trough after a summer of serious efforts, but in the face of this traditional team of the top four, Arsenal will not have any politeness, they need to beat Liverpool from the beginning to make a strong voice, there is no better way to prove their strength than to defeat strong opponents, so Arsenal at this time will not be polite.
The new season is about to start, and Xiao Qing, who has not enjoyed the fierce competition for a long time, is already eager to try; The Arsenal players who rushed to Liverpool with the team are all preparing seriously, they are all working hard to reach the most haode state in the shortest possible time, and they are all looking forward to creating new brilliance in the new season!
