Arsenal's International Champions Cup competition in the United States continues.
After playing Manchester United.
Arsenal also played two games against local teams.
The opponents are the Los Angeles Galaxy and the Mexican League team América de Mexico.
Arsenal won resoundingly in both games.
And in this process.
The team also examined the players' strength and condition.
During this warm-up match, Wenger also had another purpose.
It is to determine the team's main framework for the new season.
Although Arsenal will have to fight on four fronts next season.
Moreover, the team's goal is to defend the Premier League and take a step further in the Champions League!
therefore.
Having a capable squad is a must.
A team can certainly have a huge roster, but it doesn't have to be.
There are too many people, which makes management difficult and prone to conflicts in the locker room.
Players are more expensive than more.
A team like Arsenal.
The first team is kept between 21 and 25 people, which is considered a more reasonable first team number.
Now, Arsenal has introduced eight new players - if you include Sanchez, who has basically confirmed his transfer to Arsenal, that is nine new players.
The team's current first team can be said to be quite bloated.
There were more than thirty people.
Must lose weight.
Clear out some unused players.
It's a good thing for the team and these fringe players themselves.
Just after Arsenal finished their game against America, Mexico.
Arsenal and Barcelona have finally reached an agreement.
The media quickly broke the news.
"Sanchez moves to Arsenal for a transfer fee of up to 40 million pounds!"
"Arsenal's first major signing of the season (and possibly the only one) is here! Chilean star Sanchez has officially joined!"
Between Manchester United and Arsenal, Sanchez chose Arsenal.
In an interview with the media, Sanchez said: "Yes, I hope to play alongside Yello, he is the best player in the world!"
Sanchez's statement made the Barcelona fans who were still welcoming him turn their faces.
As a player who has played alongside Messi.
How can you say that other players are the best in the world!
You traitor!
soon.
Barcelona fans originally wanted to create a warm farewell scene to bid farewell to the team's achievements.
As a result, after Sanchez said these words, he was immediately criticized by Barcelona fans.
Even the Catalan media were a little angry at Sanchez's remarks.
Manchester United fans are also angry.
They feel that Sanchez chose Arsenal because Arsenal's wages are higher.
Otherwise, why would Arsenal be more attractive than Manchester United?
right!
He was definitely in it for the money.
Watch me spray him to death!
Manchester United fans flocked to Sanchez's social media.
"A slave to money!"
"A player like you doesn't deserve to play for Manchester United!"
"The guy who gave up his dream for money!"
Sanchez was seen being mobbed.
Arsenal fans naturally want to fight back.
"We are the defending champions! Losers, you have to figure it out!"
"Choosing Manchester United is choosing a dream, choosing Arsenal is just for money? It turns out that Manchester United players play for Manchester United for free!"
"Which team has the highest wage bill in the Premier League?"
All of a sudden.
The comment section of Sanchez's social media has become a battlefield for fans from both sides.
soon.
A piece of news broke, allowing Arsenal fans to completely win this debate.
'Arsenal offered Sanchez a lower salary than Manchester United. Manchester United offered a weekly salary of £250,000, while Arsenal offered a salary of £180,000.'
This news completely wiped out those Manchester United fans who insisted that "Sanchez must have gone to Arsenal for the money".
They died down.
Waiting for the next opportunity to fight back.
And for Arsenal Club.
With the addition of Sanchez.
Wenger has also basically determined the team's first-team framework.
The first is the goalkeeper. The three goalkeepers are basically confirmed to be Szczesny and Fabianski. If Manneno seeks to leave the team, the goalkeeper of the team's youth team will be promoted from the youth training camp to Viviano. Three doors.
The central defenders are Koscielny, Mertesacker, Vermaelen and Van Dijk.
Right backs Jenkinson and Cancelo compete, and left backs Monreal and Gibbs.
Midfield.
The main three midfielders have been formed in Wenger's mind.
Fabiano, Cazorla, Arteta.
In terms of substitutes, there are Kante, Wilshere, Ramsey, Coquelin and Flamini as substitutes.
On the forward line, Wenger is still hesitant as the main choice.
Mainly at the center position.
Yello and Sanchez are definitely the main players. Should Giroud continue to be used as the center, or should Harry Kane be promoted?
This makes Wenger difficult to choose.
However, the forward lineup of the first team is basically determined.
Yelo, Sanchez, Giroud, Harry Kane, Mane, Mahrez, Walcott, Gnabry.
There are both main players and substitutes.
Thus.
The number of first-team players has reached 25.
This number can already form two lineups, and the number of substitutes is still sufficient.
so.
The rest of the people are basically going to be cleared.
Youngsters can seek loan.
But most of them are for sale outright.
Except for things like Chamberlain that can be sold for a little bit more.
Most players actually have to pay some salary compensation before they can be sent away, which is also a huge expense.
As the new season gets closer and closer.
Arsenal's huge lineup of more than 30 people in the pre-season has gradually begun to shrink.
Before the Community Shield match.
Arsenal has basically completed the cleanup of players.
The first team lineup was also successfully reduced to 25 players.
Because of his performance in the warm-up match.
The performance of Arsenal's new players is still very trustworthy.
Waiting for the Community Shield match, they faced last season's FA Cup champion Wigan Athletic.
The main lineup arranged by Wenger is basically Arsenal's main framework in the new season.
Goalkeeper: Szczesny.
Defender: Cancelo, Van Dijk, Mertesacker, Monreal.
Midfielder: Fabinho, Arteta, Cazorla.
Forwards: Yello, Giroud, Sanchez.
After all, Wenger was worried about Harry Kane's lack of experience and chose to put him on the bench.
In fact.
Kanter, Mane, Seat B, Mahrez and others on the bench.
But when the camera swept over.
Many people feel that Arsenal's bench this season seems a bit too shabby.
The total net worth of these people on the bench on the German transfer website does not even exceed 20 million.
The total value of the bench of any team in the Premier League is higher than this!
but
In Ye Luo's view.
This lineup can be considered quite luxurious!
