This is unusual to see Roberto De Zerbi feeling down after the Brighton games. Rarely does the Italian coach leave a stadium, as he did on Sunday at the Emirates, openly acknowledging the merits of his rival. “We worked a lot” – he admitted sadly. From Zerbi–. “We are not used to suffering like this. Arsenal have a different energy, a different power. We lost one out of every two balls. We lost all the duels.” Brighton & Hove Albion were the last team to win at the Emirates, in May (0-3), and come to London with a learned high-pressure plan to repeat the feat. What was found was an unshakable, resilient and strengthened Arsenal, a team much improved Mikel Artetawho this time did not allow himself to be confused.
In Arsenal’s victory over the Seagulls (2-0) there are some images that reflect the moment of confidence of the new leader of the Premier League. One of them is the hug in between Arteta and Kai Havertz, when the coach replaced the German player after scoring the second goal. The gesture came to publicly praise the sure fit of one of the big signings of this season, after a difficult start and many substitute games. The image of the other party maintains Martin’s authority and leadership Odegaard. The Arsenal captain produced another outstanding performance, in keeping with his already high level this year.
These are images that explain Arsenal’s great ability to refocus everything, in addition to the defensive capacity provided by their other super signing, the Englishman. Declan Rice. The three outline the new image presented by the north London club, already at the top of the table, taking advantage of Liverpool’s first setback at Anfield. After the victory at the Emirates, Odegaard He described his moment as “being in the zone,” which, in football translation, means very connected to the game. When a soccer player enters the zone of influence that the Norwegian now plays in, he feels that he can do anything, in that state of fluidity that connects him to the other players.
The Arsenal captain has rediscovered his place, which he lost last year as fatigue and too much pressure ended up undermining his role. But Arteta He was able, by giving him all the confidence, to restore inspiration to one of the pillars of Arsenal. Again he directs and sets the pace of the game with intelligence, with the freedom to test the limits of his technique. Adept at dribbling, he has a footballing instinct that increases Arsenal’s pace so that’s it Then, Gabriel Jesus and Martinelli is shown ending the attacks.
About Odegaardnext to ‘lieutenant’ Rice, and with the stability of the two centre-backs, William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes, the consistency and dominance of the ‘gunners’ was ordered. That the Brighton of From Zerbi Going without scoring for the first time in 33 games speaks well of the defensive work of this multifaceted Arsenal created by Arteta, who is the one with the fewest goals scored. The combination of skills Odegaard and the physical strength of rice They define your reinvented balance, your most powerful weapon. Now this is a team of steel.
