The appearance of Emile Smith Rowe and the maturity of Bukayo Saka gave Arsenal a new breath. Mikel Arteta has found the true identity of the club.
As people who have resolutions in the new year, wishing luck in life so that things are brighter than before.
Arsenal feel that way. The dark months passed through the London Cannon in 2020 even nearing the relegation zone. Now Mikel Arteta’s squad is like reborn.
Probably more than a phrase reborn, remember The gunmen seems to have turned their heads like a team adhering to the tag ‘Young guns‘. Arsenal fans will definitely agree to take their hats off to Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka.
Again, second performance young Arsenal’s potential was impressive as the team opened the new year with a sensational streak – a thick 4-0 win over West Bromwich Albion.
It has been an identity for a long time ‘Arsenal Way‘invisible in the game The gunmen since Arsene Wenger’s departure, but Arteta has slowly started to find the right system, with academy stars at the heart of the team.
English football audiences understand that Arsenal have a special talent in Saka, but the name Smith Rowe from today deserves to be considered with that status.
For the first name we have seen a variety of his actions since the start of the season, but the second name is really a surprise package. Since he looked fantastic against Chelsea, he has continued to repeat similar performances, even when faced with The bags. Two help It has come, a sign that Arsenal don’t seem to have to bother looking for a creative midfielder in the January transfer window.
Creativity in this team has become a major issue since the 2020/21 edition arrived, as reflected in the number of goals Arsenal scored this season, until the issue was finally resolved in St. Stephen’s Day against The Blues.
Notably, of the three games played by Smith Rowe in the league with the role of No. 10, The gunmen has scored eight goals! By comparison, the number of goals is the same as those scored in the previous 13 games against Chelsea.
The combination of Smith Rowe-Saka with a senior figure at the forefront, Alexandre Lacazette, whose pair of goals against West Brom saw him now rack up five goals in four games, has turned the tide for Arsenal.
The loss to Everton on December 19 was the lowest point, with the team falling to 15th place in the standings and registering Start worst since 1974. To make matters worse, they are only four points away from the relegation zone.
However, two weeks since then, they have secured three victories and are now improving their ranking to 11th place, just three points behind the top six and six points in the Champions League area.
The game that Arteta brought was much more daring and energetic. It’s rare to see the Spaniard’s Arsenal able to score two or more goals in the first half, but the presence of Saka and Smith Rowe ties together what the team desperately needs at the moment. The two names collaborated with each other to score Arsenal’s second goal in the first half.
The first goal was born thanks to a brilliant solo from Kieran Tierney, but the next goal was even more dazzling.
The team movement that featured more than 20 passes with Smith Rowe as an actor, then made it easier for Saka to move towards the mouth of the goal and then make tap on welcomed his teammates into the club’s academy.
Arsenal’s second goal was very typical of what their fans have seen over the years, which has been rare with Arteta.
The heavy burden that Arteta and his players carried towards last Christmas is slowly beginning to lift. The manager has found the right system to accommodate new energies in the for young, so the absence of Thomas Partey and the decline of Captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang no longer appear to be a major problem.
Don’t forget about club talents like Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Joe Willock, Gabriel Martinelli and Eddie Nketiah, who often get the nod when they are given Arteta’s trust.
A great recognition also deserves to be deposited in Lacazette, who managed to change his fate from what was planned to be fired by the club for months defending his performance to become the club’s top scorer with nine goals and is starting to look for a point of turning point in his career.
Most importantly, Lacazette is now surrounded by young runners around her, ready to keep her “exploding.”
Arsenal’s gloomy period in 2020 is over. Saka and Smith Rowe’s launch in 2021 for Arteta is a new breath. Agree?
