Former Scottish star Charlie Nicolas commented on the premier league first round performance, Arsenal's new captain Erdegaard does not have excellent statistics, in Arsenal's victory over Crystal Palace, Erdegaard did not contribute to the number of shots, the number of times he lost the ball is more, some people question the Norwegian teenager can take on the leadership of the Gunners. Nicholas supported Erdegaard, the star hopes that everyone will not judge the ability of the players by a certain game, and the Norwegian youngster's personal ability is very good. In the Premier League's opener, Vieira had the players focus on the arsenal's midfield players, and the central axis combination of Erdegaard's partner Jesus did not have many opportunities. It was because Odegaard attracted the opposing defence's attention that Arsenal's wingers were given more opportunities, with Nicholas supporting the Norwegian youngster.
Aston Villa lost to Bournemouth, the outside world is not satisfied with Gerrard's tactical model, Nicholas commented on this phenomenon - Gerrard has not yet "woken up", the young manager has not yet come out of the way of thinking last season. Aston Villa did well in the second half of the 21-22 season, especially in the final battle of last season, when the club almost beat Manchester City. If the Blues hadn't woken up at the time, Gerrard could have indirectly helped his old club Liverpool win the league title. In Nicholas's view, Gerrard is still immersed in this successful model, he is not prepared for changes in the Premier League, the young manager has not yet "woken up, Aston Villa will have a difficult start." Liverpool didn't win over Fulham and Nicholas also talked about the situation in Nunez – Nunez needed the talent of his team-mates.
Nunez has been good in the Community Shield and the first round of the Premier League, but he is still a substitute under Klopp, and of course, the new signings need to adapt to the period. However, the outside world believes that if Uncle Scum makes Núñez start in this game, Liverpool may be able to usher in the opening of the new season, because among the team's attacking players, except for the Uruguayan star, the others have not yet "woken up". In Nicolas's view, Núñez should also start, because Núñez needs to cooperate with his teammates, and the Uruguayan star needs the talent of his teammates to form an invincible attacking lineup. Nicholas has repeatedly stressed that Nunez is not Mane's replacement, they are not players in the same position at all.
When Núñez was still in Benfica, due to the general lack of competitiveness in the Portuguese Premier League, Nicholas felt that At that time, Núñez could "play the world" with his personal ability. This is also why Nicolas suggested that Cristiano Ronaldo return to Sporting Lisbon, because it is difficult for The Portuguese superstar to develop a tacit understanding with his teammates, and this kind of purely personal player is easier to display personal data in the Portuguese Premier League. When Nunez came to the Premier League, he needed the talent of his teammates, and it just so happened that his teammates at Anfield were also a group of talented people, and Klopp also needed this group of players to work together. After the author found that Firmino and Nunez were unlikely to play at the same time, Uncle Scum seemed to want the two to complete the transition, which also increased the possibility of Firmino leaving the team.
However, Nicholas suggested that Uncle Scum try the two of them at the same time, after all, the Brazilian star and the Uruguayan star have a completely different style, but they both have the technical advantages of a South American star. In other words, Nunez also needs Firmino's talent, if Klopp lets both play at the same time, Firmino retreats to become the "number nine and a half", Nunez stands in front of the arrow figures, and Liverpool are more creative in attack. So Nicholas stressed that Núñez needed the talent of his teammates. Due to Odegaard's poor stats in the opener, many questioned his captain's sleeve and compared him to one of Arsenal's former Number Ten players. In Nicholas's view, the requirements of the outside world are too harsh, and everyone should support the Norwegian youngster.
The Gunners of arteta's era are getting younger and younger, Odegaard's professional attitude is very good, he also has the ability to lead, and more importantly, his positioning in the system of The Tower manager is exactly the core of the midfield, and he leads a group of young people the prospect is perfectly appropriate. Therefore, Nicholas supported Erdegaard, even if Arsenal have a tradition of "selling captains", Erdegaard is not a local star, and if he wants to leave the team, he will not hurt his feelings. On the issue of Aston Villa, Nicholas believes that the main reason Gerrard has not yet "woken up" is the last game of last season, they almost overturned Manchester City, giving Gerrard enough confidence. However, this model has not worked in the mental season, and the young marshal needs to wake up quickly.
