Although the August game is over, Arsenal has also made a pretty good start to the new season, but the September game is coming, which may be a big challenge for Arsenal. In the fifth round of the league, Arsenal's opponent was Manchester City.

Arsenal's next league opponent is Manchester City, but Cesc Fabregas is still haunted by the defeat to Manchester United in the previous round. The Gunners captain missed the Old Trafford game due to injury, and Arsenal returned 2-2; He thinks it's a "physical" game and cheers up the team, and he thinks the opportunity for Arsenal now is coming because they are not at their best and now they need to start working hard.

'It hurts to draw like that, we were deprived of a lot of chances, and it was a game full of physical confrontation – maybe too much physical contact,' the Guardian quoted Cesc Fabregas as saying, 'but we also proved that we can't be bullied by anyone. There are clubs that don't let us play our style and use tactics that have been questioned, but we won't be intimidated by that. ”

The summer transfer window has closed and rumours of a return to Barcelona are still abounding, to which he responded: "I know all the rumours about Barcelona, but you have to understand that I am a professional player, an Arsenal player. I'm very happy here, Arsene Wenger has helped me a lot and I will always respect him. I hope to win important honors again, let's see. I've got a lot of good team-mates and looking at Shaw's performances, I'm confident I'll be with him and help the team achieve important honours. ”

However, Xiaofa didn't say anything to death: "In the shijie of football, you don't know what will happen next." It's an honour to be associated with a big club like Barcelona. But let's see what Arsenal can do this season. I'm sure we'll be able to win the honor before long. ”

Cesc Fabregas is looking forward to Arsenal's prospects this season. And ahead of the game against Manchester City, Arsene Wenger had another piece of good news. The Telegraph reports that Theo Walcott, who has been away from action since picking up an injury at the start of August, will be able to feature in Saturday's away game against Manchester City.

Manchester City are Arsenal's opponents in the fifth round of the league, which is quite a tough nut to bite; In previous seasons, Manchester City were barely relegated from the Blue Moon, but with the support of the Arab supergiants, Manchester City has become a new Premier League powerhouse, and they seem to be replicating Chelsea's path.

Heavy money to dig up Lescott. Hughes announced: Manchester City's summer recruitment offensive has come to an end. Hughes and the club laid out a blueprint for building the team on Christmas Eve last year: the expansion over the next five years will be completed in two transfer windows. Winter Window spent 50 million on Given, Bridge, De Jong and Bellamy; With the additions of Carlos Tevez, Barry, Toure, Santa Cruz, Bam Adebayo and Lescott in the summer window, and counting Robinho in the summer, Manchester City pulled a team out of thin air.

Manchester City's £24 million signing of Lescot after a long tug-of-war is also a recruitment for Manchester City in the summer transfer market, and $24 million is also the value of England's second back after Rio Ferdinand; Manchester City have spent £118 million on transfers this summer, surpassing the record of £111 billion set by oligarch Abou when he took charge of Chelsea in the summer of 2003. Even so, Manchester City boss Mark ? Hughes is still thinking about Real Madrid's two Dutch midfielders, Van der Vaart and Sneijder, and even though the summer transfer market is over, he is still not satisfied!

Since August 2009, when the Emirati consortium replaced Thaksin in Manchester City, the Chieftain has spent more than £200 million on transfers. If you include player wages, the total investment is 500 million pounds. At a time when the economy of the whole UK was in a depression. Manchester City's wealth is eye-catching.

Previously, Ferguson, Moyes and other famous coaches have bombarded Manchester City's "non-economic principles" transfer operation, pushing the transfer market into an unbalanced state, but Manchester City chairman Mubarak believes that this is the right route to make Manchester City the biggest club in Shijie. On the surface, Manchester City have mainly invested in three strikers Carlos Tevez, Bam Adebayo and Santa Cruz this summer, with the midfielder only buying Barry, but Mark? Hughes has always had a £100 million defensive jihua, with Chelsea captain John Terry, Arsenal vice-captain Toure and Everton centre-back Lescott on target, although Terry did not come, the others were in place.

The Premier League is the first league, and although the Premier League has been sung down by many people, it is all due to the economic crisis and the decline in attractiveness. However, it must be noted that except for Real Madrid and Barcelona, which independently sold broadcast rights and did not care about debts, other teams on the continent were not rich. After all, the Premier League also has a lucrative TV contract foundation, which ensures that the purchasing power of the Premier League's mid-table teams exceeds that of their continental peers; Manchester City has continued to inject a lot of money, which has benefited the Premier League, and so far all their excess investment, except for Tevez's transfer fee handed over to MSI, has been invested in the accounts of teams in the same country. The rise of second-tier teams such as Manchester City, Tottenham, and Villa will also increase the "bench thickness" of the Premier League. In terms of overall competitiveness, the Premier League is really strong now, especially the teams that are considered very competitive, they are really strong. Now, Manchester City are widely regarded as giants, and they really have the ability to threaten Arsenal's position.

Since the beginning of the new season, in the first three rounds of the Sky Blues; A 2-0 home win over Blackburn Rovers, followed by a 1-0 win over Bolton Wanderers, followed by Wolves and Portsmouth.

Entering the new season, there are only two teams left to win all the Premier League, one is Chelsea at the top of the table, and the other is Manchester City. If victories over Blackburn, Wolves and Portsmouth were unconvincing, they have a chance in the next game, which is the first meeting between Manchester City and a last-four side since the expansion of Manchester City's squad, and they will begin the challenge that fans and the media have come to expect to challenge for the traditional top four of the Premier League.

Running in is often a problem for a team that has had a lot of summer turnover, but City's overall performance at the start of the season has been surprising, and if the momentum is maintained, their overall synergy could be further improved as the players get to know each other better.

If you compare the main lineups of Manchester City and Arsenal, it is actually difficult to distinguish between them, and there is one thing that the Gunners are inferior to their opponents, and that is the depth of the squad. Manchester City still have Tevez, Robinho, Santa Cruz and others unavailable, while Onuoha, Silvinho and other defensive substitutes are ready to call at any time.

However, the most unattainable for other teams is Manchester City's "potential" in the transfer market, the UAE boss claims to spend 100 million in winter to further expand the strength of the squad, which means that even if some positions are missed in the first half of the season, Manchester City can make up for it in the winter by relying on financial resources, which is also the biggest cost of the team and the top four.

For half a month from this week, Manchester has been a hot spot in the Premier League; Manchester City will face Arsenal this week, followed by a local derby. Huge portraits of Tevez on the streets of the city, with a surging crowd of red and sky blue fans......

Bam Adebayor is the figure who makes Manchester City and Arsenal both happy and worried. Togolese are currently the darlings of the Municipal Stadium, but they are outcasts of the Emirates Stadium. Last season, the player was booed by many Arsenal fans. But City are concerned that the players could be more provoked against Arsenal: there are already songs on YouTube about Adebayor's racist insults.

While the Emirates Stadium has been quiet at times, Gunners fans are not fuel-efficient lights. Last season, Arsenal received complaints from ethnic minorities who claimed to have heard disrespectful voices in the stadium. In contrast, the Arsenal fans who travel with the team are more enthusiastic and irritable, as Arsene Wenger acknowledged at last season's shareholders' meeting.

Arsenal travel to Manchester City, Bam Adebayor was the focus of the pre-game, Arsene Wenger said the Togolese transfer was not for money, and Hughes said that Ade was happy again after arriving at Manchester City and was able to play "with a smile" again. Of course, Adebayo also has to prove himself.

Bam Adebayo was not happy at Arsenal in the later stages, he had many conflicts with the fans, his name was booed when his name was broadcast live, and he was pointed out that he could not work, as for the transfer, the Togolese said that he did not want to leave, but Arsenal needed money so they sold him, and the fans should not blame him for this. Speaking about Manchester City, Bam Adebayor said: "The fans here really love me, it's not like Arsenal. ”

"I didn't want to leave Arsenal on my own initiative, but they don't need me, maybe you know I'm not welcome there, they think there's a Chinese who might be better than me. So I came to Manchester City and I found the joy of playing; As for the Chinese, hopefully he can find the feeling of playing at the Emirates Stadium; But this is Manchester City and I want to be able to see what he's capable of on the pitch. Xiao Qing was once again unjustifiably affected, and it seems that Adebayo's transfer of him was largely due to Xiao Qing's role as a push, and he seems to mind the comparison with Xiao Qing.

'Arsene Wenger has his own football philosophy and everyone in the football community appreciates it, we are trying to reach the heights he has reached, they have players who can win games in a beautiful way; I know Manchester City have the ability to play as creative football as Arsenal, but if you only have that kind of player, you can't be successful. That was the case last season, there were moments when we played very fluid, very open football, but against certain types of teams we couldn't play against. But Arsenal can't win anything with "beautiful football" alone. Shaw was great, but our strikers were even better. Manchester City manager Mark Hughes also stepped up, and Xiao Qing seemed to be really depressed at this time. (To be continued......)
