Flores scored, Spurs sent Oolong and Arsenal U23 beat Tottenham 2-1 in the Premier League reserves to win the echelon North London derby.
Arsenal started: Grazic, Olyinka, Walters, Kirk, Ogenberg, Lopez, Henry Francis, Azez, Flores, Hutchinson, Beres.
Both goals were related to Beres, the first goal was a steal and then a one-handed knife, he selflessly crossed the ball to Flores when facing the goalkeeper, who pushed the empty goal to win; the second ball was Flores's low cross from the box, and Beres inserted to grab the point to cause the opposing player to send Oolong.
In addition, Grazić also performed well in this game, making many saves.
As soon as Beres is on, arsenal echelon can score goals immediately, which shows the importance of the forward, and Flores has already gained a foothold in u23, this guy has unlimited future prospects, he is already a member of the Mexican national team, Hutchinson feels that sooner or later he can also enter the first team.
Saka was part of Watford's academy before joining Arsenal at the age of 7.
Arsenal and Watford are very close, and the training grounds of the two clubs can be said to be close together, so the relationship is very close, and Arteta also talked about it in the pre-match press conference.
Arteta was present at the pre-match press conference and let's take a look at what the Arsenal boss had to say.
What is the team's latest injury situation?
As last week, There are still some doubts about Fuan Jianyang here, and the rest of the people I think can play.
Now that you've become the most popular person in the hearts of gun fans, will that change expectations?
I do not know. I think that's positive, but the reality is that we're not fourth yet, we're still only sixth. If we can win these games, then yes (we can get into the top four), but we have to win these games first.
We knew we needed to do that, we still had a long way to go, and the only goal we had to focus on now was to win Watford.
Arsenal and Watford's training grounds are close together, and when you were a player, did you ever meet their players?
It's easy because everyone's car can meet after the training. I think it's great, I think the relationship is going to get closer and closer, for example, Edu has done a lot to build this relationship because we're close.
I think we can help each other on a lot of things, and I think that's a positive thing.
When your team lost three times in a row last August, you said you thought better times were coming, where did your confidence come from?
We have great staff and players. I think when everyone works together, this combination is bound to lead to good results.
I was convinced of this then, and I still believe it.
Is Ben White such a great player?
He had an extraordinary season. White's performance was excellent, he adapted quickly and quickly dealt with the pressure of numbers and value, and the high demands we had of him. I think it's great.
Thomas scored himself at Arsenal on a 4 out of 10 in an interview last December, and since then he's one of the best players, what's changed?
I think when you're honest with yourself, that's a good start, and it's rare to publicly evaluate yourself like Thomas did.
He did that because he thought that was the way it was and he wanted to do more for the team and the club. In addition, it is also crucial to be physically healthy and no longer injured.
What do you think of Thomas' shot? Did he practice in training?
He was practicing. You'll be amazed at some of the goals Thomas scored in training, but maybe you don't believe me at all.
So you'll soon see a goal like that.
The above is the press conference, and there are many issues that I have omitted, such as Watford's progress under Hodgson, Arteta's evaluation of Hodgson and whether he will still coach at this age...
Nothing important, but Arteta said that Fuan Jianyang was still unsure whether he could play. I personally feel hopeful, one is that Fu'an has been resuming training for a while, one is that Arteta's words before the game often have to be reversed, before he said that Fu'an has no big problem, the result of the big list has not entered, and now it is said that Fu'an is in doubt, and he has no big trouble... Of course, it is better to be cautious, Cedric has been doing well lately, and after all, playing Watford does not need to take risks.
In fact, Arteta also talked about reinforcements before the game.
Romano cited Arteta's pre-match remarks and the Arsenal boss spoke about summer signings.
Arteta said: "Now is the time for us to raise the level. We need someone who can score the ball into the goal and that's our first priority. Any successful team needs to have enough goal threats in the squad. ”
That's right, I haven't heard of a successful team that lacks good strikers, and let alone excellent, if Raqqa and Nkai leave next season, Arsenal will have no strikers at all, and it is impossible not to buy them.
It depends on who you buy, the striker will definitely buy!
In an interview with ESPN Brazil, Martinelli said he would like to stay at Arsenal forever.
Martinelli said: "Arsenal are certainly a big club and I will stay here for the rest of my life if I can. I want to show my ambition here and win a lot of championships with the extraordinary fans and teammates here.
We're focused on Champions League qualification now, we're fighting for the top four and clubs like Arsenal have to play in the Champions League, that's something we're focused on.
Now I'm working in that direction and trying to do my best to help Arsenal get a Champions League spot and maybe I can get a chance to play in the World Cup as well. Participating in the Champions League and the World Cup is every player's dream. ”
In fact, since Martinelli joined, he has always expressed his willingness to stay at Arsenal for a long time, and I am a little puzzled as to why a Brazilian has such a sense of belonging, of course, this is a good thing... I hope that Martin Jr. will still have this attitude after becoming a top star in the future!
As long as you don't get seriously injured and get enough chances to play, I believe that Martinelli can grow into a top player in the future, assuming that he can maintain the state of the previous period, maybe he can really have a chance to achieve two big goals this year: to play in the Champions League and the World Cup!
The Post quoted London football reporter CWY as saying that since Brexit, the Premier League has implemented a new labor certification application scoring system, and this situation has allowed Arsenal to "pay close attention" to the South American football market, and Gilmar Lola from Peru is one of their goals.
Brexit has made it difficult for Premier League teams to bring in talent from the European sub-leagues as they did before, but the Brazilian, Mexican and Argentine leagues are defined by the FA as top leagues, which means that in the future, it will be easier to complete a deal like Martinelli joining Arsenal, because players from these teams are more likely to meet the GBE scoring standards and thus get a labor certificate.
In response, CWY said Arteta and Edu have set their sights on 21-year-old right-back Lola, the youngster who has played six games for the Peruvian national team and is considered a star of hope in Peruvian football, currently playing for Crystal Sports F.C. in the country's top league, and his contract expires in December 2023.
According to the current news, Arsenal will indeed consider buying right-backs in the summer, if you want to buy, it will definitely buy rotational substitutes, then it is an option to recruit people from South America, because the price will be relatively low.
This Lola is only worth 700,000 yuan, the transaction price is not estimated to be very high, it is a choice, and his age means that there is also room for growth.
Arsenal will certainly search for the South American market in the future, but Martinelli's example is not suitable, because he is not from the brazilian top league, and Ituano, who played for Martinelli, was only a brazilian fourth-tier league team...
