Xhaka wore the captain's armband on Arsenal's match against Newcastle, and it was also the Swiss's 100th Premier League game for the Gunners.
However, only from the first half of the game, Xhaka's performance can only be said to be average, there are more passing errors, and there are not too many brilliant highlights. Of course, the whole team is slightly mediocre in attack, and the central front is in a disconnected state...
In the second half, it felt that Xhaka had some improvement, and the degree of competition investment was still very high, after all, the first game of the new season, not too much.
Xhaka is the player with the highest demand for captainship after k6, but if he wants to sit firmly in the captain's position, he must first improve his performance and stability.
Lichsteiner tweeted: Come on Arsenal! I wish you all the best for the new season! coyg！
Shi Tai has too much heart, did not expect that shi tai who played for one season will also bless Arsenal, and also wish Shi Tai a smooth future!
The two fluffy heads in training, this should not be long-lost...
I hope that the big fluffy head can bring the small fluffy head well!
Two men who caused trouble near Ozil's home on Thursday night have been charged with disturbing the peace.
Erkan from Highgate and Ekinsey from Tottenham (both 27) have been charged with violating Regulation 4a of the Public Order Act, and the two will appear at Highbury Magistrates' Court on September 6, while the two arrested men have been suspected of causing Ozil and Kolasinac to miss the Premier League match against Newcastle because of safety concerns.
Last month, Ozil and Kolasinac were also attacked while driving by two gangsters armed with metal tools, but fortunately neither was injured.
Arsenal officials confirmed the matter on Friday and said the two players were "facing further security threats".
For the safety of the players, it is right not to let them play, I hope the police will act as soon as possible, fortunately this is the first round of winning, if you lose because of such attrition, it is really annoying.
Police arrested two men suspected of creating a security incident outside Ozil's house that had led to Ozil and Kolasinac's match against Newcastle.
Arsenal officials have announced on Friday that they will not let Ozil and Kolasinac play their first Premier League game of the new season, neither is currently injured and safe, but the club believes their priority is to ensure the safety of the players and their families.
The Telegraph noted that safety incidents such as Ozil and Kolasinac are forcing players to spend thousands of pounds on private security, with services such as protecting dogs, emergency rooms and hiring security patrols now in demand among many stars, with the founder of a company that specializes in training to protect dogs saying many players are often targeted by criminals because the players' whereabouts are very public.
It is reported that 80% of the company's business comes from the patronage of players, while a trained protective dog asks for around £30,000.
Enhanced security is indeed a must, and the whereabouts of players are indeed too easily exposed compared to other public figures.
But overall, I think Western society should pay attention to the root cause of the crime rate, and it is a bit strange that two stars have been threatened by gangsters in a big city like London...
Hope this problem is solved as soon as possible!
Premier League consecutive assists record:
Ozil played 7 consecutive games (for Arsenal in 2015);
Fabregas has played six consecutive games (for Arsenal in 2011 and Chelsea in 2014);
Players in 5 consecutive games are: Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Valencia (Manchester United), Henry (Arsenal), Ryan Giggs (Manchester United)
Hopefully, Ozil will be in better shape this season, his ability is no problem, and his physical function is not significantly degraded.
After watching the first game of Mkhitaryan's play, I personally think it is better to give this position to Ozil or even the youngster...
Ozil tweeted: Good luck to my teammates! coyg！
Fortunately, Big Eye will not become a problem player for the team, and look forward to his return to the court!
I managed to get three points in the first game, and the result was good!
Tierney, who just joined Arsenal this summer, looks like he's already impressed those around him in training, with the Scots even breaking a team record.
Tierney reached a vertical height of 50 centimetres during a single jump-in-place jump in training, when Arsenal coach told the left-back that he was only 4 centimetres away from the club's record for vertical take-offs, a record set by Aubameyang, and after learning of this news, Tierney decided to challenge the limits, and the Scotsman's new attempt reached a vertical jump height of 55cm, successfully breaking Aubameyang's record.
Holdern was also on the spot to witness the moment, and the Englishman came forward to congratulate his teammates on setting a new club record.
But Aubameyang doesn't need to be disappointed by this, and the Gabonese are still the record holders for many related physical measurements in Arsenal, such as the single-leg triple jump distance.
It seems that Tierney's physical fitness is really good, and I am looking forward to his future and Bellerin in the two-way drag racing, think of the thief excited...
But let's heal the injury first!
Arsenal youngster Joe Willock's brother Chris Willock joined Championship West Brom on loan for one season.
The three brothers of the Willock family, and a Marty Willlock, should be at Manchester United.
Chris is also out of Arsenal, good luck!
The London Evening Flag registration jo posted that Arsenal will be open to hearing offers from Mustafi and Elnini until August 31.
The Premier League transfer window is now officially closed, but many Europa Leagues can still buy people, and Mustafi has been pushed into the transfer market for some time, with reports that teams from France and Germany are interested in the centre-back, but Arsenal have not yet received an official offer.
Jo said the Gunners want to recover most of the £35 million they invested that year from Mustafi, and Arsenal prefer to sell the Germans directly over rent-and-buy models, while Chambers may get new opportunities and Tierney has the ability to play a centre-back role in the three-centre-back system.
It is reported that Elnini is negotiating a transfer with Galatasaray in the last week, but so far the superstar has not yet reached an agreement with Arsenal or the player himself.
The purge is still a long way off, so let's wait for news in the coming weeks.
Emery talked about the possibility of selling Mustafi before the game: "I talked to Mustafi after last season, I talked to him at the beginning of the pre-season, and I talked to Mustafi two weeks ago and I said maybe he might leave the team this summer.
We're determined to be more competitive in every position, we bought Luis at centre-back, Seballos in midfield, Tierney and Pepe on the flanks, I think the team is more competitive and we can perform better this season.
In this case, some players may have fewer opportunities to play or leave, but this is a decision that needs to be made by the players, the club and the team together.
Mustafi is still at Arsenal and I think he can play for the team if he needs to and I'm sure he can do a good job. ”
When it comes to this part, it is iron heart to clean Mustafi, but Emery's statement feels more difficult to sell... Of course, it's hard.
In addition, I personally believe that since the Premier League transfer window is over, Mustafi really can't stay another year, and it is always okay to play a few games in the Cup, and now the depth of the center-back is really not ideal.
Let's elaborate tomorrow!
