Squawka statistics, of the English teams that have played official matches against Real Madrid, only two teams have never lost, namely: Arsenal and Ipswich (both have played 2 games).
Ipswich is a long time older, Arsenal has played against Real Madrid in this century, and is the first English team to win against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium (in the Champions League), which is still very valuable, but it is true that the sample is too small...
Chelsea have just lost 3-1 at home to Real Madrid (Henry and Conte were also found to have watched this match at Stamford Bridge), in fact, the Blues have not been in good form recently, and they have just been humiliated by Brentford in the league, and it is not known whether this two-game losing streak will affect their momentum of fighting for four.
Of course, Arsenal's own troubles are enough to have no time to think about others...
Unfortunate news, Xhaka's grandmother died, Arsenal midfielder said on Instagram: Rest in peace Grandma, I will miss you
Here we also hope that the old man will go all the way, and we hope that Xhaka can mourn and change, after all, Arsenal is currently in an eventful autumn, and if Xhaka can no longer guarantee concentration, the situation will be worse.
Sky Sports has counted arsenal's appearances in the Premier League and no Thomas in the Premier League this season:
Thomas: 23 games, 65.2% win rate, 1.8 goals per game, 1.1 goals conceded per game, 2 points per game
No Thomas: 6 games, 33.3% win rate, 0.3 goals per game, 1.5 goals conceded per game, 1.2 points per game
Although there is no small sample of Thomas' game, in fact, the impact of Thomas's absence is obvious, if he is also absent for a long time, then Arsenal's road to the fourth place is bound to be overshadowed, he and Tierney are indispensable, and there is no suitable replacement in the team...
London football journalist CWY said that Lino Sousa, who only joined Arsenal from West Brom in January this year, has attracted the attention of the first-team coaching staff including Arteta, and the 17-year-old left-back has so far represented the Gunners in nine u18 and u23 games.
Sosa has scored two goals in three games for Arsenal U23, including the Gunners' 3-3 draw with Manchester City reserves, and with Tierney set to be reimbursed for an injury season, youngsters such as Tavares, Ogonbo (who can also pull the side) and Sosa are likely to get more chances.
This Sousa is highly rated and has scored 2 goals in 3 reserve league games (full-back!). But he is still too young, only 17 years old, I am afraid that I can't pull the first team to the emergency, although it is said that the hero is a teenager, but now is not the time to train people, nor is it the time to pay tuition...
Looking at arteta's trade-offs, I personally think he may still use Tavares, or other first-team players, and it is unlikely that he will directly promote young people.
Former Arsenal midfielder Coquelin spoke in an interview with So Foot about how it felt to partner with Cazorla and the top 10 midfielder.
Coquelin said: "It's incredible, I've fought alongside Cazorla and I'm number 10 in front of me. I might pass some garbage balls to both of them in the game, but they can still control the ball effortlessly.
The tacit understanding that I had with Cazorla had been with me before, and he was really impressive, and I could play as I pleased on the pitch because I knew he would always be there to give me a go-to. ”
The double-back combination of The peak Coquelin and Cazorla is still the best arsenal midfield combination in my personal heart in the past decade, the chemistry is very good, the two people have a clear division of labor, the three brothers are the main attackers, Coquilin is the main defender, this combination even gave the team a chance to challenge the Premier League champions at one time, but it still failed... Later, the two withdrew from the historical stage due to injury reasons, and Coquelin was not a very comprehensive midfielder after all, so he was eventually purged.
In fact, this is the advantage of having a top player partner around, the real top players can make the teammates around them better, this is true, if there are players like Cazorla in arsenal today, then the growth of Patino, Lokunga, Flores and other young players will definitely be better.
The Telegraph reported that Arsenal have cooled interest in LeWin, a striker who has been affected by injuries this season and is in a slump after his comeback.
The 25-year-old scored three goals in three Premier League games at the start of the season and was in hot form, but the Englander has since been sidelined with injuries for a long time and has not scored since August last year, and since his comeback this year, Lewin has played nine league games but has not achieved anything.
In light of this, arsenal and Arteta have begun to focus on other strikers, with Isaac and Jakpo both potential targets.
Lewin is indeed injured at the wrong time, if he can continue the performance of last season this season, there is a good chance that the carp will jump the dragon gate in the summer, but this state is estimated that many big clubs dare not start ah...
Personally, I also think arsenal should not take risks until Lewin regains his form and proves his physical condition, and it is still a few months away from the transfer window.
Asensio's agent recently said arsenal and Milan are pursuing the star.
The 26-year-old Asensio, whose contract expires in 2023, has played 1,713 minutes for Real Madrid this season, contributing 10 goals and 1 assist, though the Spaniards' camp has claimed that many of the giants have shown interest in Asensio.
SportMediaSet quoted the agent as saying: "We are proud of milan's interest and the Rossoneri will be an option for us, even if there are offers from many Premier League teams, such as Arsenal. We are ready to evaluate all our options. ”
Asensio's contract expires next year, and it's no surprise if Arsenal really want to buy a winger, but Arsenal is now in unstable shape in addition to the world wave, and there is a history of serious injuries (or Arsenal players injured)...
As for the agent saying arsenal offered an offer (or contract), I think it's a bit of a hype component, Arsenal are unlikely to set targets or even act before determining Champions League qualification, I think it's more like the broker is raising the price...
In addition, Asensio still has the possibility of renewing his contract with Real Madrid, and I personally think that he is not a key target of Arsenal, so let's take a look.
