Why is Arsenal's rise the hardest blow to Manchester City?
Looking at the current Premier League standings, Arsenal and Manchester City will unsurprisingly compete for the league title this season, and many old Premier League fans are lamenting Arsenal's revival! Indeed, since the retirement of Henry's group, with the rise of Chelsea, Arsenal has gradually changed from a top powerhouse to an upper-middle team, and after so many years of stumbling, the rise of this group of Arsenal players has made the Gunners start to sword the championship, which I think are as follows:
1. Insist on the same lineage, mainly ball control
Every member of their attacking unit in their 4-2-3-1 squad is good at possessing the ball and likes to keep it on their feet. Gabriel Jesus, Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka did not appear difficult to dribble in the opposing half, so it was difficult for opposing defenders to control them.
2. The depth and thickness of the bench
Now, this is fundamental for the long-term success of any team, as football is a small team game. Arteta can summon the likes of Takehiro Tomiyasu, Mohamed Elneni (despite his current injury), Kieran Tierney and Eddie Nketiah from the bench, something few rivals can boast of. For example, it can be pointed out that Nketiah's coming on against Fulham in the second half made a significant contribution to Arsenal's counter-attack.
3. The most critical team is willing to spend money to acquire potential young people
Many were surprised when Arsenal decided to spend less than €87 million to bring in Ramsdale and Ben White in the summer. Many observers believe that Ben White's offer of 59 million euros is too high. Ramsdale's arrival has sparked more debate, with many questioning why Arsenal should spend €28 million on a goalkeeper who has been relegated for two consecutive times.
Arsenal have spent around €170 million to build a new squad over the past two transfer periods, the Gunners have often been accused of weakness in the past, but now they have a solid foundation, Arsenal's key now is to try to maintain consistency, which is not easy for a young team, the six signings this season, the oldest of whom Ben White is only 24, they have been widely questioned, but they are now starting to bear fruit. #足球 #
The author believes that the rise of the Arsenal model has hit Manchester City's golden dollar football the hardest! Compared with the success of Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool in terms of capital introduction, Arsenal has been in trouble many times, and was even ridiculed by fans as the Premier League giants who captained the monopoly team. However, the club did not rush to bring in a lot of capital, although the results were not good, but the younger from the club coach to the players also showed Arsenal's steady and steady team building ideas, and it was time for results this season!
