Final preparations before season 116 (thanks to everyone for your support!)

Sun Xiang scored the most familiar goal in his most familiar way.

The perfection of the tactics made Wenger happy on the sidelines, but what made him even more happy was Sun Xiang's move.

After scoring the goal, Sun Xiang and Giru Ozil hugged each other to celebrate. This was the first time the trident in the frontcourt teamed up. The result was very good. The goal was scored after the first direct friction.

After this ball, Arsenal's self-confidence has obviously become stronger, and the cooperation in the frontcourt is no longer Sun Xiang and Ozil, the two passers. The scope has been expanded to the backcourt, including Mustafi, who have participated in team cooperation.

AC Milan has been trying to reverse the score, but is always slightly inferior in tacit understanding. So at the end of the half, Arsenal still led by 1:0.

"Good job, guys! You deserve a victory!" Wenger cheered the players on the sidelines.

The process of the first half really satisfies him, and the stability of the defense line has also improved greatly compared to last season. The cooperation between the various branches is not in vain for his training over the past ten days.

For the next thing, he only hopes that the team can continue to be in shape. After all, it is just a warm-up match. If you are too focused, you may be injured.

So in the second half, Wenger almost replaced the team in the first half and sent the reserve team players to conduct a sub-item investigation.

In the end, AC Milan, who was unwilling to fall behind in the second half, reversed the game with Calhanoglu's brace.

....................................................................................

"Mr. Wenger, I really envy you for having a player like Sun." On the day after the warm-up match, AC Milan players and coaches met Arsenal's first team who happened to be dining in the training camp restaurant. So Gattuso stepped forward to find Wenger, and the two discussed the morning training match.

"Sun! Meet again!" Bonucci walked to Sun Xiang with a dinner plate.

He had to admit that this kid could shock himself every time.

His goal in the morning was almost the same as in international friendly matches. He was indeed a little unwilling to fall twice in the same place.

But he was convinced, although this was not an achievement that could be brought to the table.

"Hey Bonucci, I actually wanted to find you after the competition in the morning!" Seeing Bonucci coming, Sun Xiang also greeted him friendly.

Just as Sun Xiang said himself, after the competition, Sun Xiang really planned to find this big brother to "remind the past", but then the whole team asked to go to the gym to relax and relax. After the end, the shadow of Milan could no longer be found.

"Haha, it's okay, God will always let us meet! Can you sit next to you?" Bonuchi laughed and then pointed to the opposite Sun Xiang.

"Of course, this is specially prepared for you."

The two of them talked and laughed, and had a wonderful meal after training.

....................................................................................

"Sun! You can shoot if you have the chance!" Wenger shouted at Sun Xiang who was dribbling the ball on the court.

This is the last day of July. Arsenal stopped by Spain on his way back to London and played the last warm-up match before the season with Athletic Bilbao, which had finished training and returned to China. This match was played at Bilbao's home court, and the home team was also considered to be the purpose of repaying the fans and allowing them to enter the scene to watch for free.

This is a beauty that makes Bilbao fans feel bad. Not to mention that they can watch a game at home for free before the start of the season, but their opponent is the European giant Arsenal. How many times can they catch up with such a game? So on the day of the game, the New San Mames Stadium was full and its popularity was no less than that of the Basque Derby.

Sun Xiang is currently driving the ball in front of the penalty area line and is about to enter the encirclement, but the surrounding ball-out route has been blocked.

It was also when Wenger saw this situation that he shouted to shoot.

Sun Xiang was also very obedient. He shook the angle away under Laporte's guard, swung his calves quickly, and kicked out a huge arc with the smallest movement.

The fans of the red and white shirts at the scene exclaimed, they didn't want to see the home team conceding another goal.

Before this, Arsenal had scored two goals, and both goals were scored by French striker Lacazette. The ones who assisted him were offensive double forks, Sun Xiang and Ozil.

If Sun Xiang's shot is turned into a goal, they are likely to fall behind 3:0 before the end of the first half.

Fortunately, the home team's crossbar could still distinguish between the enemy and me. Sun Xiang's arc ball hit the goal crossbar heavily and bounced towards the stands.

After the second half of the game, Bilbao regained the feeling of the game. The front court was favored by the old demon sword Aduriz's amazing performance, and tied the score within 20 minutes.

Arsenal's defense issues have been exposed again.

In this game, Wenger sent Koscheerney, who had been injured before, and the rest were still Mustafi and Holding. However, the change could not receive any better rewards. Although Chambers was finally sent back to the four defenders, he still could not stop the 37-year-old "old" Aduriz.

After the 90-minute battle, Arsenal was defeated in front of the "hat-in-a-hat" Aduriz amid the sound of Bilbao's war drums.

In this game, all Arsenal's warm-up matches ended. In the three games, except for the O:O game against RB Leipzig, all the other two games only lost, and they were reversed after scoring first.

The problems on the court have been recorded by Wenger, and these three games have not been in vain for him. Although the results are not good, this is not the league after all. I have less than a month left to adjust.

After returning to China, Wenger immediately began to transform the defense line. After the warm-up match, several young players from the reserve team had good qualifications, but the most urgent task was to have a defensive player who could directly take the position.

So, Serie A Lazio's central defender Devrey and Liverpool's Emrecan appeared on his transfer list.

The Dutch central defender had a scandal as early as the winter window. It is said that Juventus and Inter Milan both intend to introduce the Dutch international, but the Blue Eagle manager refused to let go and insisted on talking until the summer window. The summer window has been open for a month, and neither Juventus nor Milan are conducting the next step of communication, which makes Devrey continue to become a hot commodity in the transfer market.

German midfielder Emrecan is not very comfortable at Liverpool. He is a versatile backcourt player and has played all the defensive positions but still cannot gain a foothold, so he can only seek new opportunities in the new season.

Juventus has basically signed a good agreement with James, but there have been no relevant reports so far.

In addition to these two players, Wenger has other backup plans, namely the Senegal defender of Hannover 96, Salif Sane.

The defender, who is 196, performed extremely well on the defensive end of the Bundesliga last season. His outstanding movement and terrifying height made him feel like he was in the Bundesliga. He is now 28 years old and is also a golden stage. Moreover, if Wenger wants to get this central defender, he doesn't need to talk too much. Compared with Devry and Emrecan, he is much less famous, and he himself yearns for more advanced clubs.
