'I'm happy to score in the game, I've always had enough confidence in myself and I'm confident that I can score. I did a good job, I scored goals in the game. "Arsenal won 2-0 at home to Atletico Madrid, which also made Arsenal win the Emirates Cup this time; Xiao Qing undoubtedly became the focus of media attention after the game, as it was his Arsenal debut. "As you may have seen, we had some difficulties in the game, but that's not all. We are very confident that we can overcome difficulties, although we are young, we are resilient enough, we are constantly learning and working hard, so we will improve from those shortcomings. ”

If it weren't for the fact that he was a little unapproachable in the first half of the game, then it would definitely be a perfect debut, but Xiao Qing has no reason to ask for more, because for the time being, he seems to be very satisfied, he can score a goal to help the team win, and he can feel that he is gradually adapting to the team's tactics, Xiao Qing feels very good.

With an excellent performance in the warm-up game, the current Arsenal players are full of confidence waiting for the arrival of the new season; Although it is true that Arsenal still have some shortcomings, they are confident that they will get better and better.

The Premier League has been Europe's No. 1 league for the past two seasons, with teams reaching the final and winning the title once in three consecutive seasons, and three of the top four spots in three consecutive years. However, the Premier League will encounter the biggest challenge this season, Real Madrid spent a lot of money to poach Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United, buy Alonso from Liverpool, and add Kaka and Benzema to form a new galaxy battleship; Barcelona bought Ibrahimovic to strengthen the treble-winning squad. However, the heavy investment of the two giants does not mean that La Liga has surpassed the Premier League. The first league is played.

Predict the winner of La Liga. It's either Real Madrid or Barcelona; Predict the Serie A champion. It is none other than Inter, AC Milan or Juventus, and this season, even Milan can be eliminated; Bayern in the Bundesliga has been the number one favorite every year, and only Lyon Bordeaux has been the only player in Ligue 1 for the past eight years. However, if you want to predict the Premier League winner this season, some people will say Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City, and in the UK, some people even think that Everton and Tottenham have a chance.

Arsenal's players are starting to ignore the comments. Because now they need to prepare for the new season with all their might, because the first round of their league will be a fairly strong opponent.

The clash between Everton and Arsenal is undoubtedly the highlight of the first round of the Premier League. Arsenal, who have gone four seasons without a win, are well aware of what will happen if they fail to deliver a trophy to their fans in the remaining nine months, especially in this transfer period, when they have already invested heavily in this transfer window; Everton, on the other hand, have been called the best team outside the last two seasons, but they are more eager to go one step further and grab more money from the Champions League.

Skeptics will predict that Arsenal will not have much success in the new season, after all, the team has lost important players Adebayor and Toure in the summer transfer market, although Xiao Qing and Vermaelen have been replaced, but last season because of Flamini and Gilberto. The "big hole" left by Silva's departure has not yet been filled by a suitable candidate. Despite being in the bottom half of the league last season, Arsenal were unbeaten in 21 games. However, in the final two cup games, the team lost to Chelsea (FA Cup) and Manchester United (Champions League). In the end, it was in vain. So the youth and lack of stamina are still doubts about Arsenal by doubters, because they still lack more championship temperament.

To say that Arsenal's shortcomings are, of course, the defense in the midfield! Since Campbell's departure, Arsene Wenger has gambled in the centre-back position. After handing over Toure to Manchester City, the club signed the much-doubted Belgian Vermaelen from Ajax, and even Arsenal legend Adams was too optimistic about the former Ajax captain's future in the Premier League due to the player's size and opposition disadvantages. Arsenal struggled with set-pieces last season, with the Gunners losing points against Fulham, Stoke City, Hull City and Manchester City because of a lack of concentration among defenders. This is also the biggest deficiency of Arsenal now, although Arsenal looks like a top level in other positions, but if you want to win the championship of Zuihou, Arsenal's defense is really a little lacking.

Judging from the arrangement on paper, Arsenal still has the advantage in strength. But considering Everton are at home in the first round of the league, the game will be more difficult than ever. Especially since the new season has not yet begun, but Wenger already has a lengthy list of injured players, including Theo Walcott, Diaby, Djourou, Fabrianski, Nasri and Rosicky; What's more, it is worth mentioning that Arsenal will face Scottish arch-rivals Celtic in the Champions League qualifying round in midweek after finishing their first round of league fixtures. It was a game not to lose, and defeat would mean the Gunners would be unable to qualify for the Champions League and tens of millions of pounds.

Last season, the gap between Arsenal and champions Manchester United was 18 points, the fourth consecutive year of four empty, the Champions League semi-finals, FA Cup semi-finals are not a consolation for fans at all, if they can't win at least one more title this season, I'm afraid even the most determined fans will lose faith in Wenger's empty check "we will win the title".

Despite a defeat in key matches against Chelsea and Manchester United at the end of last season, Arsene Wenger still allowed Adebayor and Toure to switch to Manchester City, and only brought back two new signings, Vermaelen and Xiao Qing, from Ajax. With key departures for the fifth year in a row, a thinner squad is getting thinner, the infighting in the board continues, and Manchester City are eyeing a top-four spot. Under internal and external troubles, Wenger has never lost confidence in his disciples, and this season has also come to the moment when Xiaofa, Xiao Qing and others are desperate to charge for the professor.

The Gunners have a slim lineup, especially in the midfield, and the team is now only Alexander? Song, a genuine midfield defender, is laughable that Wenger also named the Cameroonian as a central defender, because they are also a little stretched in the central defender position. Everton, rivals for a place in the semi-finals, are looking to bring in Swiss defender Sendros, who is one of the few reliable centre-backs at Arsenal who is one of the few places where the Swede is becoming less and less valued at Arsenal.

After Bam Adebayo left, Arsene Wenger began to change the formation, and he even put on a 4-3-3 formation in training, with Van Persie and Xiao Qing in a fit position to be proud of any team in the forward position, while Arshavin and Theo Walcott are also very exciting to see on the flanks, plus Bendtner and Bella; And the seventeen-year-old Wilshere in the Emirates Cup has already made a splash, and he has proved as always that in the young players, Wenger's vision should not be much less in the new season.

There is no need to worry about the front court at all, but the entire central and back field is lacking in personnel, except for Song, Denilson and Diaby are not satisfactory next to Xiaofa, and under the premise of limited midfield barrier function, Galla, Julu and Silvester have been injured last season, and now the team needs to buy a healthy central defender with good strength. In addition, the injury problems that have plagued the team for several seasons show no signs of improving this year, with Nasri and Rosicky scrapping at the start of the season, and injuries at key points in the season will affect the Gunners' sprint speed.

To add insult to injury, the Gunners will start the season with away games to major opponents such as Everton, Manchester City and Manchester United, and a Champions League qualifier against the Soviet giants Celtic, who will start the season in August.

Last season's Arsenal just dropped too many points at the start of the season to put a lot of pressure on them in the middle and late stages, and in the new season, Arsenal must ensure that they can achieve satisfactory results, they must lay a good foundation, and only then can they challenge for the title.

This season, the young Arsenal will face an even tougher challenge: small and medium-sized clubs led by Manchester City, Everton and Tottenham Hotspur have launched an unprecedented challenge to the traditional semi-finals. The more established Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool seemed to be impeccable, and Arsenal were the target of their attention. Faced with such a tough battle at the start of the season and the most difficult schedule, Arsenal are not afraid.

In the eyes of the outside world, Arsenal should aim to retain a top-four finish and a place in the Champions League. But surprisingly, Xiaofa and Arsene Wenger and Xiao Qing have said that their goal will be the Premier League and Champions League trophies. Despite the odds, the courage to say such a thing is in itself a testament to the courage of the Arsenal people.

'I know a lot of people don't think Arsenal are the favourites to win the trophy and they think all we need is to secure a top-four finish and get to the knockout stages of the Champions League. But I don't think that's what Arsenal should do, and although a lot of people think we've let go of some of the main players, I think everyone should be able to understand that Arsenal have enough depth and we've started to improve. So we will attack the championship, this is the consensus of our whole team; We don't need to prove anything to those who don't believe in us, we just need to keep winning. The Gunners will be more solid and powerful with every step of the way, and we will have enough honours at the end of the league. I can't wait, the new season is about to start and I hope the sought-after fans will cheer us on and we will improve together. Xiao Qing is full of confidence waiting for the start of the new season, as for Everton, although it is a very good opponent, Xiao Qing will not feel the pressure; Because if they want to win the championship of Zuihou, then they will have to overcome stronger opponents.
