116 Final preparations before the season (thank you all for your support!) )

Sun Xiang scored one of the most familiar goals in the way he was most familiar with.

The perfection of the tactics made Wenger happy on the sidelines, but what pleased him even more was Sun Xiang's play.

After the goal, Sun Xiang and Giroud Zil hugged and celebrated, and it was the first time that the front trident had been linked, and the result was good, scoring with the first direct friction.

After this goal, Arsenal's self-confidence has obviously become stronger, and the cooperation in the front field is no longer Sun Xiang and Ozil, the two passers, and the scope has been expanded to include Mustafi, including Mustafi, who are involved in the team.

AC Milan have been trying to overtake the scoreline, but they have always been a little bit behind in terms of tacit understanding. So at half-time, Arsenal was still 1-0 up.

"Well done boys! You deserve a victory! Arsene Wenger cheered on the players on the sidelines.

He was really happy with the first half and the solidity at the back was a big improvement from last season. All branches cooperate tacitly, and their training in the past ten days has been in vain.

After that, he just hopes that the team can continue to be in shape, after all, it is only a warm-up game, and if you focus too much, you may get injured.

So in the second half, Arsene Wenger almost replaced the team in the first half and sent the reserve players on for a sub-investigation.

In the end, AC Milan, who were not far behind in the second half, reversed the game thanks to Calhanoglu's brace.

............................................................

"Mr. Arsene Wenger, I envy you for having a player like Sun." On the day after the warm-up match, the AC Milan players and coaches met the Arsenal team who happened to be dining in the training camp cafeteria, so Gattuso went up to Wenger and the two discussed the morning training match.

“sun! See you again! Bonucci walked over to Sun Xiang with a plate.

He had to admit that this kid could shock himself every time.

His goal in the morning was almost identical to that of an international friendlie, and with two stumbles in the same place, the Italian centre-back was a bit unwilling.

But he's also convinced, even if it's not an achievement that can be brought to the table.

"Hey Bonucci, I actually wanted to find you after the competition in the morning!" Seeing Bonucci coming over, Sun Xiang also greeted him in a friendly manner.

As Sun Xiang himself said, after the game, Sun Xiang really planned to find this big brother to "catch up", but then the whole team asked to go to the gym for recovery and relaxation, and when it was over, there was no shadow of the Milan team.

"Haha, it's okay, God will always let us meet! Can I sit next to you? Bonucci laughed, then pointed to the opposite side of Sun Xiang.

"Absolutely, it's just for you."

The two of them talked and laughed like this, and spent a good meal time after training.

...........................................................

“sun! Shoot when you get the chance! Wenger shouted at Sun Xiang, who was dribbling the ball on the field.

It was the last day of July, and the Arsenal crowd stopped in Spain on their way back to London for their final pre-season warm-up game against Athletic Bilbao, who had returned from training. The match was played at Bilbao's home stadium, and the home team was able to repay the fans by giving them access to the stadium for free.

This is a bad thing for Bilbao fans, not to mention being able to watch a game at home for free before the start of the season, and the opponent is still the European giants Arsenal, how many games can be caught up? So on the day of the match, the new San Mamés stadium was as full as the Basque derby.

Sun Xiang was dribbling the ball in front of the penalty area line at the moment, and he was about to enter the encirclement, but the surrounding ball line had been blocked at all.

It was only when he saw this situation that Wenger shouted to shoot.

Sun Xiang was also very obedient, shaking off the angle under Laporte's watch, swinging his calves quickly, and kicking a huge arc with minimal movements.

The red and white shirts in the stadium exclaimed that they didn't want to see the home team concede another goal.

Prior to this, Arsenal had scored two goals, both of which were scored by French striker Alexandre Lacazette, and the assists were provided by the attacking duo, Son Xiang and Mesut Ozil.

If Sun Xiang's shot is converted into a goal, they are likely to fall behind 3-0 before the end of the first half.

Fortunately, the home team's crossbar was still clear. Sun Xiang's curling ball hit the crossbar and bounced towards the stands.

In the second half, Bilbao regained the feeling of the game, and the front court was conducive to the stunning performance of the old demon knife Aduriz, and the score was tied in 20 minutes.

Arsenal's defensive problems have been exposed once again.

In this game, Arsene Wenger brought on the previously injured Koscielny in defence, leaving Mustafi and Holding alone. However, change could not be better rewarded, and although Chambers was eventually brought back to the back four, it still could not stop the 37-year-old "old" Aduriz.

At the end of the 90 minutes, in the beat of Bilbao's war drums, Arsenal lost in front of the "hated" Aduriz.

In this campaign, all Arsenal's warm-up games are over. In all three games, with the exception of the 0-0 match against RB Leipzig, the other two were all defeats, and they were all reversed after scoring first.

The problems on the pitch have been recorded by Arsene Wenger, and those three games have not been in vain for him, although the results are not good, but this is not the league after all, leaving him with less than a month to adjust.

After returning home, Arsene Wenger immediately began to work on the revamp of the backline, and after the warm-up games, there were several young players in the development team with good qualifications, but the priority was to have a defender who could play directly in the starting position.

As a result, Serie A Lazio centre-back De Vrij and Liverpool's Emre Can appeared on his transfer list.

The Dutch central defender was rumored to be rumored to be interested in bringing in the Dutch international as early as the winter window, and it was rumored that Juventus and Inter were interested in bringing in the Dutch international, but the head of the Blue Eagles did not let him go and insisted on staying until the summer window. And now that the summer window has been open for a month, neither Juve nor Milan are in the next step of communication, which makes De Vrij continue to be a hot spot in the transfer market.

German midfielder Emrejan has not been very comfortable at Liverpool, and he has played all the defensive positions at the back but still cannot get a foothold, so he can only seek new opportunities in the new season.

Juventus have basically signed a deal with Zhan, but so far there have been no reports of this.

In addition to these two players, Arsene Wenger has another back-hander, and that is the Senegalese defender of Hannover 96, Salif Sane.

The 196-year-old defender was impressive in defence last season, with excellent movement and frightening height making him a perfect fit in the Bundesliga, and at 28 years old, he is in his prime, and Arsene Wenger doesn't need to pay much if he wants to get the centre-back. He is much less well-known than De Vrij and Emrejan, and he himself has a desire for a more exclusive club.

In this way, a month after the transfer window opened, Wenger was ready to steal people again after Sun Xiang.
