Paul Tierney will officiate Arsenal away game against Manchester United . The VAR referee for this game is Mason Lee.
Good guy, I seem to have seen Xhaka's red card, Manchester United's penalty kick, Jesus' goal was disallowed...
Of course, there is no need to prejudge, and the difficulty of this game is not only the referee, the key is Arsenal's own performance Problem, at present, Thomas, Zinchenko, Elneny, may not be able to play in this game.
Arteta attended the pre-match press conference. Let's take a look at what important content the Arsenal coach talked about.
Odegaard is very calm and calm. Is this something you can teach?
At the age of 23, Odegaard already has a lot of experience and a lot of pressure, especially personal pressure. He has played for Real Madrid and Odegaard knows what this means. He does it naturally, nothing fazes Odegaard, and he's even continuing to develop this ability.
Have you seen any changes in Odegaard since wearing the Arsenal captain's armband?
He has become more humble, I can only say that Odegaard is even more modest.
Is this your request to him?
No, this is his characteristic, the more humble and hungry he is, they blend together well.
Does Zinchenko have a place in the midfield rather than as a full-back in the future?
This is one of the options. We can let him play in midfield, either as an attacking midfielder or as a deep-lying midfielder. Of course, this is an option. So having a player with that kind of versatility is great for us.
What happened to Thomas and Zinchenko? Can they play in the midweek game?
I don't think so. We'll have to do another scan, especially with Thomas, and then see how long he'll be out. But I don't think they can play against Vera . Is
(Thomas) a long-term injury or a short-term injury?
Let's wait and see, I can't tell you yet.
Is Thomas' injury similar to last year's?
is a similar site, hopefully not of similar severity.
The above is the important content of the press conference. In fact, there is only one really important part: injuries.
A few days ago we said that Arsenal's injury problem is very optimistic. Sure enough, some things are just as easy to say as they say. Thomas, Zinchenko and Elneny were injured immediately...
I thought the situation was very optimistic. , but it seems that Thomas will have to be sidelined for at least a few weeks. Arteta said that his injured area is similar to last season, which is definitely not a good sign. He is afraid that the old injury will relapse... But for now, there is no need to be too nervous. Because the initial diagnosis was that recovery would take a few weeks.
Zinchenko should be a minor problem, but he will not be able to play in the next game against Villa. If the tower does not set off smoke bombs, Tierney will have to start the game. The midfielder may need Xhaka with Loconga. ...
Thomas' injury is not the worst thing. The worst thing is that Elneny is also injured, and it seems that Elneny's injury is more serious than Thomas.
Goal reporter CWS published an article that Elneny injured his hamstring in the game against Fulham , and he will be absent for a long time.
reported that Arsenal is currently waiting for the scan results to determine how long it will take for Elneny to recover. Unfortunately, this injury comes at an untimely time because the Gunners have already lost Thomas. Fortunately, there is no doubt about Thomas’ injury. The preliminary judgment is relatively optimistic, and it is expected that the Ghanaian can return within a few weeks, but the midfielder will definitely miss the next few games, including the key battle against Manchester United.
CWS stated that it is unclear whether the injuries of Elneny and Thomas will force Arsenal to enter the transfer market for final purchases.
The worst news of the past day is that Elneny is injured, and it seems that he is not able to return in the short term. This means Arsenal must buy a midfielder, but the problem is that time is running out, and Depending on what DO means, Arsenal's budget is only enough to buy one person, a midfielder or a winger. Considering that Pepe has been rented out, the winger is also You have to buy it, then it’s hard to make a choice...
TA reporter DO news, Elneny suffered a serious injury in the game against Fulham. The midfielder played the whole game at the time, but the problem gradually disappeared after the game. It emerged that Arsenal are awaiting the final result, but the Egyptian is expected to be out injured for a long period of time.
In addition, Thomas is also dealing with a muscle problem (relatively minor), so DO said that the current situation may affect Arsenal's signing plan, and the Gunners may consider the introduction of midfielder as a top priority.
It is reported that Arteta’s team has previously focused on bringing in a winger. Neto is their primary target, and Mudrick is also one of the target candidates. However, DO emphasized that financially, he wants to sign another winger at the same time this summer. Midfielders and wingers are very difficult for Arsenal...
Let’s sum it up:
Elneny is definitely injured, but it is unclear how long he will be out for. In fact, there is also news that he will not be out for too long, maybe just a few weeks, and ideally even a month for him and Thomas. He can come back soon, but there is no conclusion yet.
Do you want to buy people? Who to buy?
Needless to say, you must buy it, and you must buy it for both midfielders and wingers. But depending on what DO means, you may have to choose one of the two, or if you buy both wingers and midfielders, it will be difficult to guarantee the quality. ...I personally have been calling for the purchase of a midfielder since the beginning of the summer, and I have been calling until now. Finally, I can’t do it. But the problem is that Pepe is also on loan. The same cannot be done if the winger is not bought. Arsenal is just looking for themselves again. Got a new problem. The key is that there is not enough time...
In fact, the current situation is very obvious. Even if Thomas and Elneny are healthy, Arsenal should buy a midfielder. We have been talking about this issue all summer, but judging from Arsenal's reaction It seems that if Elneny had not been injured, maybe the midfielder would have just let it go this summer... So from a certain perspective, maybe Elneny's injury saved Arsenal's entire season...
and 一It’s the same as last month, I don’t understand why Arsenal dare not buy a new midfielder... In fact, the team’s level has obviously improved this season, and it is very promising to compete for fourth place. Don’t let the small lose the big. This kind of mistake has been made too many times... ...
Since joining Arsenal, Thomas has only started 58% of the Gunners' Premier League games. The midfielder's record for consecutive starts in Arsenal is 9 games.
When the reporter said, "Thomas's injury is very optimistic and he only needs to rest for a few weeks," you will know how scary his injury situation is...
So I said we must buy a midfielder, even if Thomas and Elneny are There was no injury this time. Even if the two of them can come back soon, they still have to buy it, because history has proved that Thomas is not an iron man. He will definitely get injured again. You must plan in advance and don't make the same mistake in January again in the same year. If you trip over the same stone twice, it's really a cognitive problem.
Reliable Barcelona reporter Romero news, Barcelona is close to exempting Bellerin from the visa...
I don't want to follow up on Bellerin's news recently, because both Betis and Barcelona want Bellerin to be exempted from the visa. And it seems likely to be successful so far.
I can’t understand why Arsenal can’t sell a 27-year-old player who has one year left on his contract (including the extension clause and actually has two years left!) who can attract Barcelona’s fancy...
Di Marzio news, after Thomas and Elneny were injured, Arsenal also inquired about the possibility of signing Paris midfielder Paredes , but the Argentine has agreed to join Juventus and he hopes to "respect The agreement he reached with Juventus."
Paredes has reached an agreement with Juventus, so ignore this rumor.
I don’t know who Arsenal will buy in the last two days. The problem is right in front of us. It’s better to make up for it than not. Let’s see who can come in the end.
Romano tweeted: Pay attention to the genius Mudrik. Last week, miners Donetsk had rejected a verbal offer worth 30 million euros submitted by Everton .
Arsenal explored the conditions required to acquire Mudric a few days ago, but they only inquired about the player's situation (that is, they did not contact the club at all). Many teams want to sign Mudrick, and he is a player who needs to be watched until the end of the transfer window.
In addition, DO also said that Mudrick is one of the winger targets Arsenal is pursuing.
Mudrick is 21 years old and plays a winger position. Last season, the Ukrainian played 19 games and had 2 goals and 9 assists.
This person is known as Ukraine Neymar. His potential is very promising, and judging from the current news, he is indeed a target of interest to Arsenal. However, this rumor appeared before Elneny was injured, not to mention Romano also said that Arsenal I haven't had any contact with the miners, so it's hard to tell.
Romano spoke on the here we go podcast about the Arsenal and Mudric rumors (news before Elneny's injury, which will definitely have an impact now). He said Arsenal had inquired about the young starlet, but so far there had been no negotiations between the clubs.
Later, Romano talked about this rumor on Wettfreunde.net, saying: "Until the window closes, I will continue to pay attention to some surprising candidates, because Arsenal will pursue what they 'really want' as usual. players, rather than players who will only add to their numbers, they want to sign the perfect fit
htm. l0 Edu and Arteta both like Neto, and they think the winger is the perfect choice, but Wolves want more than 50 million pounds, so the deal is complicated
Asensio the past two weeks. It has been recommended by Mendes to many major Premier League clubs, including Including Arsenal and Manchester United, the Real Madrid star is looking for a suitable opportunity because he wants to play. Arsenal are not currently in direct dialogue with Real Madrid, but their relationship with Mendes has always been very good, so Asensio was asked at the last moment. Maybe it's an option, but there are no negotiations at the moment
Another player I want to mention is Mudrick, Premier League, Bundesliga , h. tml3 Serie A There are many teams who want to sign him, let's see how Arsenal decides. "
In other words, if Elneny was not injured, Arsenal might not even consider buying another midfielder. It is simply speechless...
But the situation is different now. I think Neto and Asensio are no longer needed. Hurry up and sign a new midfielder!
