My light shines on Arsenal

Chapter 17
In the past few days, the weather in London has been slightly better, and it is no longer raining continuously for days.

The scorching heat of summer has begun to fade a little, and the natural turf carefully cared for by the club's staff is green and green, like the new grass in spring.

There are also a few new faces on the training ground.The transfer window is over. In the last 2011 hours before the deadline of the 12-24 summer transfer window, Arsenal completed four signings in one go.

The first signing completed was Wilfried Zaha.Ivorian nationality, a 19-year-old player from the Crystal Palace youth training.

This is not a very exciting deal.

First of all, Zaha is only 19 years old and has not played a full season in the club's main force, and he has not even accepted the baptism of the Premier League.

A mere young player of a Championship team cannot be regarded as an effective reinforcement for the team.What's more, Arsenal also introduced Gervinho this season.

Gunners fans still have good expectations for Gervinho at this time. He scored 15 goals and 10 assists in Ligue [-], and he is known as one of the three monsters in Ligue [-].The other two demons are Musa Sou and Edin Azar.

If you only look at the highlights, Gervinho is undoubtedly the player you expect to be perfectly adapted to offensive football.He has strong physical fitness and excellent dribbling skills, and is the kind of player that highlights critics like most.

However, for Arsenal, there is one thing they should learn, and that is to always learn to be cautious when dealing with star attackers from Ligue [-]...

But no matter what, everyone can only reluctantly accept that Zaha is an investment in the future. The transfer fee of 750 million pounds is not too exaggerated, but it is still a bit expensive for an unknown young player.

The second completed signing somewhat gave the fans some relief.The core of Everton's midfield, the prodigal son from La Masia, Mikel Arteta joined Arsenal for 1000 million pounds.

At this time, Arsenal fans don't know the far-reaching impact of this deal, but they can feel happy that at least the team has finally gained a normal midfielder.

Take a look at Arsenal's midfield configuration at this time. Wilshere and Ramsey, two youth training stars, are both in a confused period of their careers.

The amazingly talented Jack Wilshere was quickly entangled in injuries after his birth.At the age of 19, Wilshere was sidelined for five months with a pre-season ankle injury.

In fact, this injury will be the beginning of Wilshere's continuous injury history for the next decade.

Aaron Ramsey fell into a complete trough after his leg was tackled by Shawcross.The long recovery process seriously affected Ramsey's physical and mental state. His technical condition was completely lost, and he also mentally lost the courage to dance in the opponent's penalty area.

Ramsey has yet to find his direction.

And other players, whether they are hospital bed VIP customers, the second master Diaby, or the 30-year-old melancholy Mozart and Rosicky, are all brittle players like glass, and it is difficult to count on their stable attendance.

The only player left who can be used is midfielder Alexander Song.The Cameroonian's physical fitness, running coverage and decent footwork are also good. What's more valuable is that he has a wide field of vision and a long pass.This will be a valuable weapon for Arsenal this season.

Therefore, with Arteta's supplement, the battered midfielder finally regained some vitality.

Of course, don't forget that there are two players, Jorginho and Verratti, in the youth training camp, but no one in the entire club, except Chen Yao, who brought them to England, thinks these two guys can be of much help.

Arteta is undoubtedly extremely eager to join Arsenal.Coming from a wealthy family, he should have expected to become a shining midfielder in Spain, but he failed to stay in Barcelona.

He traveled around Spain and lived in the British Isles. Finally, when he was getting older, he settled down in Everton and was entrusted with important tasks by Moyes.

Under Moyes, Arteta slowly accepted his fate of not being a top star.He began to learn to be a stable leader and learn to fight on the field as a following dog.

However, when Arsenal, which was also in decline, offered him an olive branch, Arteta still couldn't sit still...

He pushed hard for his transfer, and finally came to Arsenal before the window closed, as fate would have it.

Arteta, who is about to turn 30, still doesn’t know how important this transfer is to him.

The third transfer is Per Mertesacker, the German tower centre-back.

For the chance to come to the Premier League from Germany, Mertesacker does not mind trying new challenges in the final third of his career.

Werder Bremen is also an honest team and could not keep Mertesacker, so they happily sold him for 800 million pounds.

For Arsenal's weak defense, the addition of Mertesacker is a very useful supplement.No one wants to see Djourou or Squillac perform again, and Vermaelen, who is relatively reliable, is also a frequent visitor to the team doctor's room.

The last transfer was Brazilian defender Andre Santos, worth 700 million pounds... Frankly speaking, Chen Yao was opposed to this deal.Santos is not young and is a big colander, but Arsenal has no available left back at this time, and Wenger also approved the deal.

In desperation, Santos came to Arsenal under Chen Yao's sad eyes.

After spending more than 3000 million pounds on the last day, Arsenal finally put together a complete team.

At a time when Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea are opening their checkbooks and bringing in top players vying for the crown, Arsenal tremble like a stingy shopper, clutching their piggy bank and painstakingly picking up some at the supermarket. Discounted items.

But no matter what, I finally bought everything I needed.

Daily Mail:

"New Guns Loaded: Arsene Wenger's Dilemma"

"Arsene Wenger faces a dilemma this summer. On the one hand, he needs to sell his core players to relieve financial pressure. On the other hand, he needs good enough players to stabilize the record, otherwise the financial situation The pressure will be even greater."

"In the end, Wenger didn't bring in players at the same level as Cesc Fabregas or Samir Nasri. His team's system is also collapsing and has not been rebuilt. Maybe we can see Wenger's thinking , he tried to return to the era of relying on the talents of young players to save the defeat. His new assistant, or the actual actor of his thoughts-Chen, introduced five young players under the age of 20 in one summer. player."

"But no matter what, just like at the end of "Saving Private Ryan," when facing the enemy tank, Captain Miller pulled out his pistol. We don't know if there will be an Air Force genius like in the movie. Down, but at least now Arsenal are no longer bare-handed."

　I am very happy to see that there are really readers, and strive to take advantage of the two updates every day in the summer before the start of the first year of research! (By the way, write more and save more manuscripts, hoping to bring you a pleasant reading experience)
