Congratulations to Arsenal midfielder Ernenni for being named to the Africa Cup of Nations Team.
Egypt made it all the way to the final, and Ernenni was indispensable as the main midfielder, and it was reasonable to be selected.
In fact, Pepe's performance in this African Cup of Nations is also good, with goals and assists, but Salah and Mane are really too strong, so the best team does not have Pepe's business, and Côte d'Ivoire was eliminated too early, and the top 8 did not enter...
Thomas is not to mention, Ghana's group stage is home, so of course it is even more out of line with the best team.
In fact, this African Cup of Nations set in the middle of the season in the five major leagues is really not very reasonable, fortunately now everything is over, and relatively speaking Arsenal have not been affected much, Elneny is certainly tired, but he is not the main force, Thomas did not even miss the league, Pepe is also a substitute...
Concentrate on playing the second half of the season!
It's official: Arsenal have announced echelon youngster Jordan McNeve on loan to shelbourne FC ireland-league until the end of the season.
McNeugh, 21, joined Arsenal's academy in 2017 and signed his first professional contract in the summer of 2018, and as an Irish international, the youngster is considered to have outstanding potential, he can play in the No. 10 position on the pitch and has the ability to directly threaten the goal.
Everyone at Arsenal wished McNeave all the best at Shelborn.
The 21-year-old is not too young, and he is too competitive in the midfield position (not limited to the 10th position), personally I think it will be difficult for McNeave to be in the arsenal first team in the future, Pattino, Hutchinson, Salah Edin and even Marcelo Flores are competing for similar positions and are more optimistic than McNeave.
Of course, young people can be impressive in three days, so come on! A lot of things change rapidly, such as Azez's development in the last year or so has been disappointing, feeling that he is not going back and forth, and now it seems that he is getting farther and farther away from the first team...
Speaking about his decision to leave Arsenal on loan at Udinese, Mali, who is currently on loan at Udinese, said: "I was not lucky at Arsenal at all, but in the games I played I think I showed a very good level. Eventually, you come to a moment where you have to make a decision.
Arteta is one of the best coaches I have ever met, he has helped me a lot and given me a better understanding of football, his philosophy of football is very similar to Guardiola's, but with subtle differences. ”
At least Mali didn't spread negative rhetoric... As for the performance, I personally feel that Mali feels a little good about himself, if he really shows a good level in the game he played, he will not join for two years without getting too many opportunities.
Regarding Arteta's evaluation, I think Mali is not just a compliment, in fact, many players and industry insiders have a high evaluation of Arteta's tactical ability and understanding of football, which should not be a coincidence, but whether the theory can be translated into a reality in the game, this is not necessarily the case, and it will take time.
Moreover, objectively speaking, Mali has not played many big clubs (barely for Manchester City) and has not met many managers, so he said that Arteta is one of the best coaches he has ever met, not necessarily a fiction, people may be telling the truth.
However, Mali should have no chance at Arsenal, this loan is a hint, that is, Arteta will no longer rely on him, even as a substitute, Saliba in the summer is likely to return, Mali has no chance, should sell it.
When it comes to selling people, Arsenal really should reflect on it.
According to the CIES Football Observatory, Arsenal have only made £377 million in funding over the past 10 years by selling people, a figure far below their Rivals in the Premier League.
Liverpool have received £660 million in transfer fees over the past 10 years through selling people, Manchester City has also received £604 million in the same period, chelsea's selling income is the best in the Premier League and the five major leagues, and they have recovered £1.015 billion through purges.
In view of this, some of the decisions made by Arteta as the first-team football manager cannot be questioned (in fact, Arteta's responsibilities are limited, after all, it has only been two years), Arsenal has just recently released Aubameyang for free, and Nketiah and Lacazette look like they will both transfer freely in the summer, which has led to the direct result of this situation is that the Gunners may have difficulty in the future to continue to invest in the transfer market and achieve a squad upgrade, unless their reinforcement strategy is close to perfect.
Compared with buying people, selling people is indeed a bigger problem, in fact, Arsenal has not lacked shrewd signings in the past 15 years, but there are few satisfactory selling deals, Van Persie, Fabregas, Nasri, Adebayo and other people are almost cabbage prices at their peak, statistics can also clearly see this, not to mention compared with Chelsea, even compared with Liverpool and Manchester City, the gap is also very large.
If Arsenal has always been in this situation, it is really difficult to continue to invest, after all, the Champions League qualification thing will become more and more competitive in the future (Newcastle may also become a competitor in three or five years), and it is almost impossible to lead a team into the Champions League for 20 consecutive years like Wenger in the past, so Arsenal must increase stable income elsewhere, such as reasonable selling.
As for Arteta, I think he is still far from the level of a first-team football manager, and many of the trades Arsenal have handled quickly in the last two years, but they are actually consequences at any cost, it is not sustainable, and it is impossible to continue like this in the future, so Arteta needs to learn.
But then again, how long Arteta has been in office, can not all blame him, not to mention objectively say that arteta coached these two years is Arsenal's reconstruction period, many special measures are inevitable, only hope that the future free release, termination of the situation less happen, in addition to the home star even if it is transferred, it is best to get back a seventy or eighty million funds ah, but don't sell half and half send...
