Morning all.
A quick Friday blog for this week’s glamorous fabrics with Brentford. I was thinking about what to hit Real Madrid yesterday or to write something about talking about this team. But Tim dropped his column yesterday. If you don’t have a chance to read already, it’s always here.
It is not exactly about it, but in the baseball field of ‘see how far we are.’ And I think it is worth considering. Football has this strange epidemiology, where everything is the most seriously evaluated in the short term, but this is the best way to affect by a solid medium/long -term plan. You have to win the game right now, but you have to come up with a structure that can be consistent.
MIKEL Arteta has time, and I think this is the main reason for this that he beat Real Madrid 3-0 at night his team should remember despite injuries and fitness problems. It is a team full of ‘his’ players, and a lot of money has been spent to bring us up to this point. But beyond the previous fee, I made a lot of efforts to realize the cultural TIM reference that Arteta talked about at the first press conference.
Sometimes people have heard of people about the soccer team about ‘serious clothes’. This is the term for repetition of this Arsenal. If you don’t throw Aspersions, I don’t think the team came before. I don’t say people don’t care or are not devoted, but they don’t always think that everyone is pulling the pitch inside and outside in the same direction. When Bernd Leno first arrived, the instructions of Arteta were not tactical, behavioral, and I remember it.
You need certain kinds of characters to arrive in the place where Arsenal is now, and clearly we are not yet where we want. It is at the top of the pile at the end of the season. We all know this. We were not enough at that time or were not enough anyway. Some people may laugh at this, but when I think about him, Granit Xhaka is a fascinating figure in recent history in this context of this cultural change.
I think he can say that when he was hasty, perhaps when he was too complete, he was given a reputation among fans, referees and experts. He made a mistake and got a lot of yellow cards. Arsene Wenger bought him and described him as a box of the midfielder in the box, and then changed the evaluation more than once over time. There was confusion.
UNAI EMERY has arrived, and I do not rebuild the entire captain/Crystal Palace, and I do not think that Spain was crucial enough and played. When we admitted 30 shots on our goals, there was a notorious game with Watford. Xhaka later came out and said the team was “scared.” And he was rounded to him, but what he said was lost in Four. It was an implicit criticism of Emma and the way he formed a team. In my opinion he was right. They were scared, and the former manager was losing grip rather than a gentle and soft player.
It’s not immediate, but when the olive branches have been expanded and Xhaka returns to the team, I don’t think it’s coincidence that his best period is red and white. Whatever you think of the qualities as a player, he was a serious expert, and Arteta was considered essential for his team development. I said before I thought the manager recognized himself in this player.
Arteta went forward when Xhaka played deeply. Do not set people to fail. And over the past two seasons, we’ve got a very important XHAKA version for the team. Perhaps it feels like an arteta is a bit married to the idea of that kind of player in that location. You can easily draw the boundaries between the MIKEL Merino who played in the position of the Swiss International between Xhaka, Kai HAVERTZ, Declan Rice and Mikel Merino.
Xhaka left and went to Bayer Leverkeusen and helped me to achieve amazing things in Bundesliga. I don’t think he can do so without the positive effect of Mikel Arteta, but at the same time Xhaka represents everything he wants in terms of personality. He was a serious person from the moment he first arrived, but if you look at this Arsenal team, you can see the same serious players back and forth. It does not mean that there is no other personality properties. Not only is a person, but also a clown and a giant lack a supply.
Some people may claim that there is a space for Maverick, a player who can level up at an important moment when instinctive qualities are important. For example, what would Alexis Sanchez to bring to this team? Still, the binary is not always. Even the other night we decided to go on its way with the first free kick when the DECLAN RICE signaled another routine. I knew he was not a rebel, but it was a decision that was rooted in seriousness. There was a belief that he could produce something special to the team, and the boy did him.
I know that this season is up and down, sometimes there are some household chores, and we don’t have to have too many reasons (there are too many reasons!). But for me, I didn’t see some regression as deadly. Arteta can learn a lot from adversity. Arteta has shown more than twice during his time, and as you can see on Tuesday night, there is a strong thing about the foundation, so we can have results and results for a team like Real Madrid.
We are not where we want, and there is something to do better, but it is still good. It can be said to be a serious costume.
