In the third round of the Champions League, Arsenal defeated Atletico Madrid 4-0 at home. The Gunners won the first three rounds and scored 8 goals without conceding a goal. Arsenal ranked first in the Premier League. "London Football Network" analyzed the reasons behind this huge victory and the Gunners' recent impressive results.
During the season, sometimes players, coaches, or entire teams suddenly find a tacit understanding, reach new heights, and achieve great things. But that was not the case for Arsenal and Jocles. It would be easy to see this game as a turning point for the Gunners, that they have reached the next level. But in fact, the Gunners have already had such potential.
In the 0-1 loss to Liverpool, Arsenal was the better team in the first half. Arsenal also had the advantage against Manchester City and should have achieved a better result than 1-1. In addition, the Gunners should have won easily against Biba, Olympiacos, West Ham and Fulham.
After the victory over Atletico Madrid, Arteta was asked how to respond to critics. He said that the plan for this game was actually the strategy that has been used this season. He said: "A lot depends on the result of the game, and the way we prepare for the game is to cause problems for the opponent as often as possible.
"We think our players have the top ability and quality from the beginning to achieve this. But that's football, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. The team performed very efficiently today and we are very happy about it. "
Whether it is a bad pass, a poor shot or an unsatisfactory final result, this Arsenal team has always been like a spring ready to go. This complete victory is not a sudden change, but the next step taken by the Gunners. More importantly, this is a warning they issued.
Liverpool and Manchester City have changed so much in the summer, They were lucky to encounter the Gunners early with key positions still being adjusted and some key players absent.
Arsenal faced a difficult start in both the league and the Champions League, but now they have the best record among Premier League teams and are tied for first place in the Champions League standings. Not only that, their center Yokeres also found the feeling of scoring goals, and it was a double shot.
The Swede has scored 5 goals for the Gunners, which is a good statistic. While his goals probably won't make the cut of the month, it doesn't matter. Arteta said that breaking the goal drought is what Yokere deserves, and although the Gunners coach may mention Yokere's contributions in other areas, the failure to score in nine games is indeed worrying. Now, the team hopes that Yockers can further improve his goal numbers.
Arteta said: "I think he deserves to score. There is no doubt about his performance and help to the team. The key is to stay confident, enjoy the game and play freely. "
In addition, Martinelli, Skelly, Gabriel and Rice also performed very well. However, there is one player who stands out in particular, not only because of his goals, but also his performance in other aspects.
With Thomas' departure, Arsenal There has been a major change in the No. 6 position. Suvimendi took over the role of the core of the midfield and exceeded everyone's expectations. His passing, defensive coverage, offensive ideas and calmness on and off the ball are all extremely good if you want to say that he can lead the Gunners to win. The key signing for the trophy, then it should be Sowemendi.
Defensively, Arsenal once again had zero closures. They have achieved 11 zero closures in the last 14 Champions League home games. Raya has contributed 9 clean sheets this season, although Simeone's missed goal was more like a little bit of luck.
This Arsenal already has something very special, and even those European giants cannot pose a threat to them. Next up, the Gunners face Crystal Palace at the weekend, where the team is likely to continue to shine.
