On 20 April 2018, Wenger announced that he would step down as Arsenal manager at the end of the season, ending his 22-year Career as a Professor.
Once a year at this time of year... Now that it's been 4 years, have Arsenal played better and achieved better results? It cost more money, and the team was almost dismantled that year.
Of course, although I like professors, I personally have no objection to Arsenal changing coaches, and the Gunners at that time did come to a time when they needed to make changes, but the premise of all this was that the change of coaches must be to make this club have better results and have a broader space for development, rather than being forced by the pressure of fans to change people and continue to mess up.
Moreover, with Wenger's merits, his departure was not decent, it was not a decision he made himself, the professor was actually fired, which is the only place that I personally hold my heart.
In short, it's only been 4 years, Manchester United has been 9 years, maybe the fans need more patience...
Judging from the official photos, Lacazette has resumed training, and Even the players of the victorious team in training show that he can already participate in team training and should not be far from a comeback!
I hope it's still too late, and I hope Fu'an is still the fu'an who hurts before!
In addition, the detailed news about this game at Chelsea, we will talk about it in the next issue.
Arteta was present at the pre-match press conference and let's take a look at what key issues the Arsenal manager has talked about (old rules, just talk about topics that are not time-sensitive).
What about Lacazette and Jianyang?
We were evaluating Lacazette today (Tuesday) to see if he could play with the team, and obviously you know that he has recently had a new crown and was absent for a few days as a result. So we're trying to figure out how he feels and whether he can contribute to the team.
In Fuan's words, he is very, very close to a comeback, and whether this game against Chelsea is too hasty for him, we still need to make a decision after today's training session.
What do you think of Lacazette's recent remarks about other clubs?
His contract situation allows him to make decisions for his future. We've made our intentions clear, we'll talk about it after we've figured out what we've done in the summer, and the rest I just want Raqqa to focus entirely on his responsibility, which is to defend Arsenal with the best possible performance, which is what he's always done.
It is also the reason why Raqqa wore the Arsenal captain's armband.
Are you worried about Lacazette's concentration?
The contract takes effect from the moment you pick up the pen and sign it, until the end, during which time you are responsible for the consequences, which is the reality of the Raqqa contract and his commitment and responsibility to the club.
Do you know that Lacazette is in talks with other clubs?
He didn't need to tell me about his personal life, but he told me anyway, and we discussed that Raqqa had the right to do so. But Raqqa also has a responsibility to perform the best here.
Will Arsenal still negotiate with Lacazette after the season?
That's the agreement we made with Him, that's where we stand, and that position hasn't changed.
The risk has been there since we made this decision, but it's up to Raqqa because it's not just about Arsenal or about himself, it's a matter for both sides.
Nketiah recently publicly expressed disappointment at his lack of opportunities, what do you think about that?
He was right to be bothered. That's what we want to see from players who don't have a lot of play time. Especially Enkai, because if there are players in our dressing room who deserve more opportunities, it must be Enkai.
I've said it many times about Nkay and I really appreciate him and we have a grand plan for his development at this club.
The above is the press conference, in fact, the original text is much longer, but the pre-match news is over when everyone sees that the game is over, there is no need to look at it again, and many questions are not important.
Raqqa's problem was not handled correctly from the beginning, either to renew his contract and keep him, or not to renew his contract and sell it early, not to renew and retain him, and to give him the captain's armband, which I personally think is a bad move, but now it can only be wrong.
It's hard to say whether Nketiya deserves more opportunities, but he doesn't seem to be planning to renew his contract, so what's the point of using him? He's not strong enough to stay and help Arsenal without a contract extension... As for Enkay's recent interview, we'll talk about it later.
Fuan Jianyang seems to be close to a comeback, and I hope that his comeback can stabilize the back line! Cedric is really not a player at the main level.
Thomas Ins shows he is working on a comeback in the gym.
It seems that Thomas can already participate in basic indoor training, but there is still a long time to go before the comeback estimate, and this season is estimated to be hopeless...
This period of time also proves how important Thomas is, and the position must be strengthened in the summer.
Official: Arsenal announced they will travel to the U.S. in July to compete in a pre-season tournament called the FC Series, which is part of the Florida Cup's national expansion and has been held since 2015, with participating clubs from around the globe.
Arsenal will face Orlando City on Wednesday 20 July and then Chelsea in the Florida Cup on 23 July.
It has been reported before, and now it has been officially confirmed that it seems that Arsenal will have at least two games in the United States.
Arsenal's official website updates the report of the players on loan.
Torreira: Played 90 minutes and scored the winning goal to help Fiorentina beat Venice 1-0, after which the Purple Lily climbed to 6th place in Serie A.
Willem Salibba: The centre-back played for Marseille in two games last week, first in the second leg of the UEFA Cup quarter-finals, which were won 1-0 by paok (Marseille will be in the semi-finals against Feyenoord), and then playing a full 90 minutes in Marseille's 2-1 league defeat to Paris.
Gundoz: The midfielder also played two games for Marseille and he assisted Paye in the match against PAOK.
Mali: The centre-back played his full game in Udinese's 4-1 win over Empoli, after which Udinese finished 12th in Serie A.
BELLERIN: The full-back played the full game in Betis's 0-0 draw with Real Sociedad, a clean sheet that helped Betis remain fifth in La Liga.
Nelson: The winger played 67 minutes in The 3-1 win over Slavia Prague in the UEFA Cup quarter-finals.
Mavropanos: The Greek played the full game in Stuttgart's 0-0 draw against Mainz, after which Stuttgart finished 16th in the Bundesliga.
Balogon: The striker came off the bench in the 82nd minute, with Middlesbrough drawing 0-0 with Bournemouth, with Wilder's side currently two points behind the play-off zone.
In addition, youngster Norton Coofi has had a good performance recently, he provided an assist in the game against Portsmouth in Lincoln City, and hopes he can reach the first team next season, to be honest, Arteta has been a little too negative about promoting the academy...
The loan players seem to be doing well, in fact, many people in it could have stayed in the team to help the team...
In a recent interview with The Beautiful Game Podcast, Nketiah said he turned down Arsenal's contract extension and wanted to play more games.
Nketiah said: "I have received a lot of contract extensions, but my goal is to play and play regularly. That's my ambition, and that's what I want to do. ”
In response, Romano tweeted that there are many clubs from the Bundesliga and the Premier League who have been in contact with Nketija for a long time.
In addition, in this interview, Nketiah also talked about the reason why he often did not play well on the bench: "People have high expectations of you, but brother, I sometimes play only 9 minutes on the bench, and we lead 1-0, when the team's goal is to keep the victory and not attack. When I get 15-20 minutes or so, I can do something on the pitch and show myself. ”
It doesn't look like he wants to renew his contract to stay in the team, and besides, Arsenal can't provide him with a stable playing time, and he will definitely use a new striker next season.
Nkai is indeed more depressed, and he has also reached the age of playing, not to mention whether there is that level, young people want to play more games is not wrong, I hope he will develop smoothly in the future.
I don't know what Nkay has done to Arsenal this year, to be honest, it is better to break up early, do not delay each other, Arsenal can also bring in a striker in advance.
According to the team report, many big clubs, including Atletico, have asked about the possibility of acquiring Willian Saliba.
Marseille clearly wants to keep Saliba, but given the simple loan nature of the centre-back, it will be difficult to retain the 21-year-old France international, and according to the team newspaper, Saliba is "likely to say goodbye to Marseille in the summer" and Atletico boss Simeone is very eager to sign Arsenal centre-back in the summer.
The more clubs interested in Saliba, the more difficult it will be for Arsenal to renew his contract, and the reason is simple, if Saliba's choice includes giants like Atletico Madrid, then why stay at Arsenal as a substitute? Even if he comes back in the summer, I'm afraid Arteta won't put Saliba directly into the starting lineup, this year is the Year of the World Cup!
Saliba will definitely ask to play more games in the second half of the year, in fact, the best way is to renew his contract first, and then let him continue to loan at Marseille, but then Arsenal will buy another center-back next season if they fight on multiple fronts, which will be a bad debt...
So the management is really a mess... 50 million pounds to buy Ben White is not impossible, the premise is to get the Champions League qualification, can not get the Champions League qualification, it is better to save this money last year directly with Saliba, and then use the savings of 50 million to buy other positions, maybe the effect is better.
90min news, Ivan Tony is eager to sign a new contract with Brentford, Arsenal and West Ham are very appreciative of Tony, and Everton, Wolves and Newcastle are also watching the striker closely.
If Brentford were to sell, they would have demanded more than £50 million in transfer fees, with Tony, 26, this season completing 12 goals and four assists in 28 Premier League games.
Tony is really good, but I personally think he still can't meet the standards of the Champions League team, this time to buy a striker to take out the courage of buying Vlahovic in January, to buy as much as possible, one step in place, buy "no up and down" meaningless.
Moreover, £50 million is too high. But that's just a rumor.
Sport Bild news that Arsenal are interested in signing Sabitzer from Bayern.
Bayern have been eliminated in the Champions League, with German media claiming the club is planning for the future and the 28-year-old Sabitzer will be allowed to leave the squad, the star who joined Bayern from Red Bull Leipzig last summer with Nagelsmann, but things have not yet developed as expected, with the Austrian only playing eight games for Bayern so far this season.
SportBiz said Sabicze was disappointed by his situation, Bayern were willing to send the star away this summer to save money on wages, and both Arsenal and Atletico were interested in Sabic.
Sabitzer is a very good player, can play in midfield and pull the edge, very comprehensive, and his age means that he is very mature, can be used, the price is suitable to consider, but if the price is high, it is better to buy young people to cultivate.
It's not reliable news for the time being, so let's wait.
