Arsenal beat Villa 1-0, the significance of this game is that Arsenal still leads Manchester United by 4 points in the case of one less game, and the team has now taken the fourth initiative in the league, that is to say, Arsenal should have the opportunity to enter the Champions League through the league this year, Arsenal's performance in this game is actually average, Saka's goal is a long-range shot, but Saka scored the team's 2,000th goal in the league, it is not easy. Take a quick look at this interesting game.
In fact, in this game, Ben White was basically hit by the opponent behind the ball, fortunately there was no obvious mistake
Ben White was completely targeted in this game, always beaten behind, but it seems that there is no obvious mistake, this is not bad, after all, is now the team's full-back, indeed the style and Ben White are not complementary, Gabriel and Tierney The performance of this wing is very general, but the other side actually wasted several scoring opportunities, the player's ability is limited, several scoring opportunities, and finally wasted, Arsenal recently played the general team, and indeed the performance is getting better and better, this is good. Leno's performance can also be, in fact, from the perspective of the game, Leno really does not necessarily have the opposing goalkeeper Martinez strong, the opposing goalkeeper was Arsenal's second goalkeeper before.
Thomas is really strong
Thomas is really strong, although there are no assists and no goals in this game, but it can still be seen that he is the core, a lot of attacks are related to him, a lot of key defenses are also related to him, it is indeed a midfield core, atletico's players are indeed very versatile, of course, this game is sometimes played more impatiently, this is also his problem. Xhaka did not perform well, Erdegaard showed his weakness this time, in fact, at the beginning of the game, Saka gave a good pass, but Odegaard did not shoot, his problem will only be left foot, and when he adjusts, the other side has been defended in place, he can only pass the ball, this is the case. In fact, this is also the reason why Erdegaard was eventually sold by Real Madrid, the style is a bit single. However, Villa's style of play itself is a tough style, Arsenal play is similar to Manchester City's thinking, there is no advantage in physical confrontation, such a midfield performance is also normal.
Saka's performance was really good
Saka's goal is actually very beautiful, this goal is Arsenal's set-piece, of course, this is a new set-piece tactic, Martinez was blocked by his teammates, the final save action was late, and then Saka scored with a long-range shot, this ball Villa player in the defense, their own position is also chaotic, Arsenal is also on the flank to open the defense, so the team's goal in this game is also showing their relatively rich goal routine. Of course, Saka had a beautiful pass at the beginning of the stage, and that passer was actually a good position, so that the opposing goalkeeper and the back line were awkward, and as a result, After Odegaard received the ball, he made adjustments, and the shooting opportunity was wasted, after all, he was left-footed strong. Saka didn't do well in his last game against Liverpool, this time he played Well against Villa, and young people still need to grow.
In fact, Arsenal now have some problems with the center, Lacazette is still too general in ability, Vlahović did not come, it is indeed a bit of a pity, so the key to Arsenal's victory is because they bought some players this year, which really strengthened the team and really strengthened.
