The pieces are ready for Arsenal to advance from the runner -up position to win the Premier League championship after the success of coach Mikel Arteta. This coach has smart players and knows how to choose the right time. Arsenal, too, without winning this season, will never win.
When Arsenal strikers collaborated with Viktor Gyokeres, they quickly realized one thing. That is the need to make early passes. It is not familiar, considering the team that likes to control the ball and Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka tend to be inward.
When Arsenal bought Gyokeres instead of Benjamin Sesko, they wanted to win now. The club even has a Premier League trophy hanging on the wall at the training ground, showing the determination to win after 22 years. They have made almost unimaginable steps since 2020.
Arteta has turned Arsenal from a desperate team to jump to second place for many years. and semi -finals to big titles. It is a reason why this is considered a decisive season. After 3 second consecutive seasons, Arteta and Director Andrea Berta know exactly what is needed.
Almost everyone at Arsenal hopes this season, but it is not impossible to imagine a situation where the disappointment is more than signaling a collapse. That happened to good teams for a while but could not win, typically Tottenham of Mauricio Pochettino.
Fortunately, Arsenal dressing room is very excited when entering the new season. That mood was definitely shown in the 3-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao on Saturday. A victory in “another level” and “simply excellent”.
This is the vision that Arteta wants. The problem is to maintain that vision, and that's when the errors of the previous season become more clear. Arsenal has been criticized for decline compared to the diverse attacking play, continuously from every angle, which has helped them rise strongly.
So far, they have solved most of these problems, especially depending on some excessive abuse players, which shows a lack of depth and diverse. Although Arsenal is still at the highest level when there are pillars, their dementia has exposed the missing factors.
Buying a good striker of course has become a focus, but many people feel the most important addition is Martin Zubimendi, a midfielder at another level. Zubimendi immediately brings confidence, which is very important for a club that is sometimes trapped in a counterattack defense.
His intelligence also helps Arteta to have an ideal midfield with a variety of changes. It is the quality that Arteta is particularly appreciated, considering him spending a lot of time to care about the small details in the opponent's defense.
The understanding of Kai Havertz's Pressing system will still help him use a lot, especially in big matches. BHL has envisioned the plan to select Havertz instead of Odegaard, with Havertz and Rice to create a special physical challenge.
Although buying Noni Madueke was surprised, he was considered one of the options that could provide many solutions – especially an alternative to Saka. Madueke will also ensure that Ethan Nwaneri and Max Dowman do not suffer similar expectations.
The appearance of Cristhian Mosquera has strengthened one of the strongest defense in Europe. Arsenal still wants to recruit another player, maybe Eberechi Eze or another option on the left wing. The mainstream thinking at Arsenal is “control”, with the coach want to solve all possible problems.
