Arsenal!

It was still shocking to say the title of the Champions League last season, but Zhang Yang had reasons to disdain because Arsenal's championship was a contribution.

Others don’t know the situation, but when Millwall challenged Arsenal away, Zhang Yang’s heart fluctuations were very small.

In the eyes of outsiders, the battle between Arsenal and Millwall is the focus of the league before Christmas. The media continues to conduct hot pre-match reports, and Zhang Yang's views are somewhat different.

In Zhang Yang's opinion, Arsenal is much easier to deal with than Chelsea and Manchester United.

This is not that he disdains Arsenal's strength, but that Millwall's tactics are a bit restrained when fighting Arsenal. In addition, Arsenal has already passed its peak period and is still in the transformation stage. It is hard to say what kind of strength it can exert.

Arsenal's transformation is based on head coach Wenger's determination to make the team 'rejuvenate'.

Wenger talked to Zhang Yang about this. He believed that Arsenal must be younger to last longer, but Wenger's "younger" route will definitely endure some minor setbacks without the support of large funds.

For example, in the middle of last season, Wenger insisted on cultivating young players, and Arsenal's performance was also affected, and he only ranked fifth at the end of the season.

After the World Cup, Wenger continued his usual style of signing: pick one, two outstanding geniuses, and buy some potential young people, using Arsenal's reminder to train.

Rosici is Arsenal's most important signing.

Rosici transferred from Dortmund to join Arsenal, took over the No. 7 jersey left by Pire, and also longed for Pire's successful experience in Highbury.

Rosici has long been famous, and his reputation has spread throughout Europa. The media commented on him, "Excellent technology, weird passing, strong overall view, good at attacking and defending, thin body but amazing physical strength." After successfully transferring to Arsenal, the media added, "It can vaguely make people see the shadows of Vieira and Pire overlapping on him, and his style of advocating technology complements the Gunners. If they can be well-done, it will be another weapon for the arsenal."

Arsenal continues to walk on the road of youth. Compared with previous seasons, Arsenal's overall age structure has become reasonable and has good vitality.

Henry, Yongbery, Gilberto, Rosici and other frontcourt players are all in the golden age of their careers; while players such as Fabregas, Toure, and Sendros in the backcourt have all grown up rapidly last season.

In addition, Van Persie and Adebayo have proved that they are fully qualified to partner with Henry.

Such an Arsenal team is full of prospects.

But the 'prospect' is 'prospect' after all. Arsenal's rejuvenation has only been halfway through, and they are still working hard on the road. Overall, there is only more prospects and may not be better than last season.

When the Emirates Stadium game officially started, the media compared Arsenal and Millwall's lineups, and Millwall was praised: Millwall is more powerful and younger.

The most troublesome thing about Arsenal at present is Henry's injury. Henry is Arsenal's soul and it is difficult for other players to replace him. Baptista and Adebayo are not the kind of players who jump on the leverage alone, which is a bit untrustworthy. Compared with Darren Bent, the top scorer in the Premier League, the gap is really a bit obvious.

Arsenal has advantages in the forward and the backcourt. Henry's injury made Millwall's advantage in the forward line. In terms of midfield, they are even more incomparable to Millwall.

Millwall's "double central defender" is Simpson and Braniff. Both are young players, but their past performance is much better than DeNilson and Fabregas. The wing is still a combination of Pire and Quaresma, and they are also better than Rosici and Heleb.

The focus player of this game is Pire.

After Pire joined Mirwall, his first game against his old club was still very attractive. The live video footage of the game was constantly pointing at Pire, and the commentator kept mentioning Pire's name.

Arsenal changed the stadium this season: they used the newly built Emirates Stadium, and Highbury, with a brilliant history and memory, was abandoned.

This is a major historical event for Arsenal.

The reason why Arsenal's transfer strategy is very "poor" is also related to the construction of the new stadium. They will bear huge bank loans for many years to come.

Pire's first match against his old club was at the new Emirates Stadium. It was also his first time to come to this stadium for a formal match. Standing on an unfamiliar field, even the excitement against his old club was reduced a lot.

At this time, Zhang Yang was also watching everywhere.

Emirates Stadium.

The construction of this stadium is an important strategy for Arsenal. The former Highbury Stadium was one of the world's most famous stadiums, but Arsenal realized that it was necessary to compete with top European clubs, and there must be a larger and more luxurious stadium.

The first one proposed to build a new stadium was head coach Arsenal head coach Wenger. After the completion of the Emirates Stadium, Wenger responded to questions about the new stadium in an interview. He said, "I don't remember very much when I proposed to the board of directors to build a stadium. It may be that after we won the "Double Championship" in 1998, although I was actively involved in this matter, I am not a director, so I just participated as an adviser. I am just the head coach of the team. It is my responsibility to contribute to the strength of the club, and it is very important for the club to have a long-term plan."

Wenger also said: "This is the most important decision in Arsenal's history since asking Chapman to coach in 925."

In order to attract various sponsorship funds, Arsenal and Emirates signed a sponsorship contract worth 100 million pounds. The new stadium was named Emirates Stadium, and the contract term for the naming rights of the stadium is 5 years. In addition, starting this season, Emirates will become the main sponsor of Arsenal jerseys in the Arsenal in place of 2, which will last for eight years.

This new stadium, which cost 470 million pounds, is indeed quite luxurious and is the best in the world. It is difficult for a team to compare with it.

Zhang Yang recalled the bleak Neal Stadium and suddenly became a little envious and jealous of Arsenal.

"If you coach Millwall for a long time, maybe you should also recommend that the club invest in building a new stadium?"

Zhang Yang thought.

Zhang Yang soon gave up this tempting idea.

Millwall is different from Arsenal, Zhang Yang is also different from Wenger. Arsenal has been completely marked by Wenger, and Wenger will continue to coach Arsenal for a long time

The two are not distinguished from each other.

The relationship between Zhang Yang and Mirwall is not yet at that level, and he has not thought about whether he will continue to coach. It would be meaningless if he doesn’t have a new stadium or a new stadium.

As for the envy and jealousy in my heart...

Under the gaze of nearly 70,000 Arsenal fans, beating the home team Arsenal should be a way to relieve hatred.

Zhang Yang's eyes looked at the game differently.

The competition was very intense.

Arsenal is not like Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Millwall play a normal game. Wenger's style of play is mainly based on offensive suppression.

This is what Arsenal is good at.

Millwall's "dual core" tactics also focus on offense, so from the first minute of the game, the two sides collided head-on, and the front and back courts were back and forth, which also made the game very beautiful.

"Sky Sports" commentator Paul Scott said excitedly, "It seems that Arsenal and Millwall will bring an offensive battle to the fans today."

"This is a carnival party before Christmas, and it is also a Christmas gift presented to the fans by the two teams!"

As Paul Scott said, every fan concentrates on watching the game. It is difficult to see the collision of technical football in the Premier League. It would be nice if the two teams they faced were not all defending.

In the match between Arsenal and Millwall last season, Arsenal played very conservatively, while Millwall looked like he was defending and counterattacking, and the game became very boring.

A season has passed, and the game has changed its style.

Arsenal is constantly using its offense to suppress Millwall, and Millwall's continuous cooperation is also dazzling.

This is a feast for offensive football!

In this feast, the head coaches of the two teams were also the focus. When the camera pointed at the Arsenal coach's seat, the head coach Wenger watched the game with his eyes focused, as if he didn't want to leave for a minute or a second.

Zhang Yang still maintains his unique style - he played with the dice in his hand, looked around, and occasionally turned his head and said to Wise, but he didn't have much energy to focus on the game.

Under the camera lens, you can notice that Zhang Yang's face is very relaxed.

"Zhang Yang still looks like that," Paul Scott said with a wry smile. "Even if he plays against Arsenal, he still doesn't pay much attention. This may be his style, or he may be very confident in the game."

In the past, Zhang Yang would definitely be criticized by the media for his appearance, "arrogant" and "disrespect for his opponents". But it has been different now. Instead, the media said it was a "unique style".

This is what good results bring.

In fact, Zhang Yang is indeed very confident. Compared with Manchester United, Chelsea and even Liverpool, Millwall is much easier to play Arsenal.

This Arsenal lineup is somewhat inferior to Millwall.

In addition to the relatively strong defensive lineup of Arsenal, the midfield and frontcourt lineup is not very good, especially when Henry was injured, they are no longer able to compare to Millwall.
