Europe's top five leagues have scored the last 10 league games: Arsenal and Manchester City 25 points, Barca 24 points, Liverpool 23 points, Bayern, Juve and Nice 22 points.
That is to say, Arsenal and Manchester City can be said to be the best teams in the past 10 rounds of the five leagues, in fact, in addition to the thin squad, the current starting lineup basically has the level of the Champions League top 16 teams, in the summer in addition to buying forwards and midfielders, it is very good to improve the depth of the bench.
In an interview with Arsenal's state media, Thomas said it was no accident that Arteta was involved in his third goal in the last game, and the team had practiced a quick cut in training.
Thomas said: "We trained this and we tried to win fast. Eventually, what we practiced in training could finally be applied to the game. I'm very proud of this team and we're happy that the team has to keep going like this. ”
If it weren't for this sideline ball attack, maybe 3 points would have become 1 point, and from this point of view, Arteta is equivalent to a direct contribution to the game!
At that time, Arteta quickly threw the ball to Saka outside the technical zone, Saka quickly sent the sideline ball, Cedric received the ball and handed it to Erdegao, and then with the cooperation of Lacazette and Martinelli, this is indeed the embodiment of Arteta's attention to detail, if it is true that Thomas said, the team even practiced this tactic, then you have to admire Arteta's ability to cut details.
In addition, this is also the advantage of the vitality of young coaches, you can hardly imagine that an old coach like Hodgson can quickly pick up the ball and hand it to the players on the sidelines, and constantly shout and direct the players... I really don't have the energy to be older.
Arsenal have updated the report of the players on loan.
Norton Coffey: The right-back continued his impressive performance, scoring the first goal of his career in Lincoln City's 3-1 win over Sheffield Wednesday. Lincoln City followed in League One at 18th.
Barogon: The striker had a busy week, starting with Barogon coming on as a 75th-minute substitute in Middlesbrough's extra-time win over Tottenham Hotspur, and then playing 63 minutes in The Millerborg's 2-1 Win over Luton Town.
Mavropanos: The centre-back played 90 minutes to help Stuttgart win 3-2 over Borussia Moncheng and win the crucial relegation battle. However, Stuttgart is currently in 17th place, still three points away from the safe zone.
Mali: Played the full game in Udinese's 2-1 win over Sampdoria.
Willian Salibba and Gundoz: Both played the full game last week, but Marseille lost 1-0 to Monaco.
Torreira: The midfielder played 76 minutes in Fiorentina's 1-1 draw with Verona, with the Purple Lily currently ranked 8th in Serie A.
Nelson: Substitute in the 72nd minute, but Feyenoord drew 1-1 with Groningen, who is currently in third place in the Dutch First Division, eight points behind at the top of the table.
Coofi's performance in recent weeks has been very gratifying, this guy is just getting a taste of first-team play, but there is a blockbuster trend, of course he only plays in the lower leagues, but it is still worthy of recognition. Work hard and maybe Arsenal won't have to buy a right-back in the summer!
Balogon still didn't score, wilder trusted him, but the striker still had to score quickly! Marv's problem is basically clear, Stuttgart should buy him out of relegation or not.
Others have nothing to say, and finally there is news of Nelson, but until now Nelson's situation can only be said to be disappointing, this season he has been loaned to the Dutch First Division, but did not come up with a stunning performance, I am afraid that after returning in the summer, he will be dealt with.
If Arsenal can qualify for the Champions League next season, then each Gunner will receive a one-time prize of 500,000 pounds.
Arsenal are currently one point ahead of Manchester United in three fewer rounds, fourth in the Premier League, and Arteta's side are hopeful of qualifying for the Champions League, with reports that Champions League prize money and broadcast revenue could bring Arsenal around £50 million, though most of that will be paid as a reward to the players who helped the team reach the top four.
The Post pointed out that on a pro-rata basis, if Arsenal qualifies for the Champions League, each player will receive a one-time reward of up to around 500,000 pounds, in addition, there are many players with contracts linked to Champions League qualification, and as long as the North London giants participate in the Champions League group stage, then the salaries of these players will automatically rise, not only that, the Champions League competition will also provide many Gunners with the opportunity to increase their performance income (such as goals, clean sheets, appearance fees, etc.).
AK further pointed out that Champions League qualification can also increase Arsenal's hopes of retaining young talents such as Saka, and Arteta's side is working to renew the England Flying Wings, and Champions League qualification will obviously help.
Finally, qualifying for the Champions League also increases Arsenal's transfer budget and appeal to target players.
According to AK, the reward of about 500,000 pounds per person (should only be counted as first-team players), then this expenditure alone is more than 10 million pounds, plus the Champions League salary terms, etc., after qualifying for the Champions League, Arsenal's operating costs will indeed increase next season.
But compared to the return, this is nothing, the 50 million pounds of Champions League prize money is only superficial, in fact, the exposure brought by participating in the Champions League competition, commercial sponsorship and matchday income can not be ignored, for example, I remember that Adidas's commercial contract clearly had Champions League clauses, and the sponsorship fee rose a lot.
There are still more than a dozen rounds, we must stick to it, turn over and look at this year!
London football posted that in an extreme case, Arsenal will not be able to participate in next season's Champions League even if they finish in the top four of the Premier League.
According to UEFA's rules introduced in 2013, the same league can not have more than 5 clubs in the Champions League, so if Manchester United win the Champions League and West Ham win the Europa League, and both teams are not in the top four, then even Arsenal will not be able to compete in next season's Champions League.
I'm not sure about that personally (it's just a report on London football), but even if it is true, I don't think there's any need to worry... The chances of Manchester United and West Ham winning both the Champions League and the Europa League are too slim...
Take the top four in a down-to-earth manner, this kind of script should not appear, only exist in theory...
In an interview with the Press Association, Erdegaard said he had found a sense of home in Arsenal.
Edgar said: "Yes, I feel settled than ever before, I feel like I've found a home. I've not been loaned to that for the past five years, I've been loaned there, and now I feel like I've finally found the kind of stability and peace I need, so I'm happy.
The kind of unity we have now is very special, I've never seen that unity in my career, and of course there's a lot of competition here, but people just want the team to get the best possible result. We always want the team to win and the team spirit is really, really good now. ”
Although Edgar is only young, he has indeed experienced vicissitudes, and the world knows that he is a genius who became famous in his teens, but who knows the pressure behind carrying such expectations and the effort to achieve them? Fortunately, I finally kept the clouds open to see the moon...
Arsenal and Erdegaard can be described as a match made in heaven, one desperately needs genius, one urgently needs opportunities, Erdegaard can maintain this performance, and the future Arsenal forward position is worry-free for seven or eight years!
Jeunes Footeux said Lacazette was now "completely convinced of Arteta" and Arsenal were ready to improve the contract treatment they offered him in December last year, which means that the new contract will be longer and there will be a salary increase, but nothing will be finalized until the end of the season.
I personally doubt this statement, first of all, Arsenal has not actually provided Raqqa with a contract so far, how to improve? Moreover, even if the contract is offered, raqqa's salary increase is unlikely...
Of course, if the chemistry between Raqqa and the whole team is good in the remaining seasons, and the team qualifies for the Champions League, the possibility of renewal between the two sides is not impossible, but it is estimated that it is also a short contract.
In fact, Raqqa now dramatically got the absolute main position before the contract expired, which he has rarely been able to ensure since he joined, Enkai can not threaten his starting position at all, and the remaining ten rounds depend on how he performs.
Gnabry posted a photo of himself wearing an Arsenal vintage shirt on his official tweet.
This seems to be Gnabry filming a documentary with Amazon, looking back on his career experience, so wearing an Arsenal shirt should have nothing to do with transfers.
Gnabry has not yet renewed his contract with Bayern, but his chances of returning to Arsenal are slim, and there is no shortage of winger positions.
Arsenal and Paris are interested in acquiring Lyon midfielder Lucas Paqueta, and Newcastle was also linked to the Brazilian in January, but the Magpies eventually signed his teammate Guimarães.
The 24-year-old Pacquita plays as an attacking midfielder and the former Milan star has performed well in France this season, contributing eight goals and five assists in 30 games to date, in addition to the midfielder who has gradually become a key player in Brazil in recent years, scoring six goals in 29 games for the Samba Army.
Paqueta's contract expires in 2025 and it is reported that both Paris and Arsenal are interested in him.
This should just be a rumor, even if Arsenal buy midfielders in the summer, it is not a midfielder of Paqueta's type, and Erdegaard's position is as stable as Tarzan.
Buying a back is a top priority.
