The improvements in defense and attack have given the ‘gunners’ much more confidence to face complicated situations
The youth of the squad, 24.6 the average age of the starting team, key to being hungry for wins
The Arsenal of Michael Arteta The season has started like a shot premier leagueand after winning the Liverpool of Klopp in an exhibition of offensive play, he has once again risen to the top of the table, with one point more than the almighty Manchester City of Pep Guardiolahaving already played 9 games.
The confidence of the ‘gunner’ board in the Spanish coach is absolute and this summer they invested heavily to finish completing a team tailored to their needs. Arteta, who is very clear about his style, has not hesitated to offer the keys to the team to the youngsters he has been forging for several years, and they are responding with flying colors. The average age of the starting team is only 24.6 years old and they are captained by the Norwegian Martin Odegaard He will be 24 years old in December. A generation of soccer players that has been cooked over a slow fire but that has already exploded and that rises with the desire to eat the world.
One of the most important aspects of this new Arsenal is the defensive solidity that he is demonstrating with William saliba as the key to success. The French central defender has returned after his transfer to Marseilles and he has done it to stay. His landing on the axis of the rear has made it easier for Ben White plays as a side, promoting the lane, and has also formed a great partnership with Gabriel Magalhaeswhich has made Arsenal one of the teams that concedes the fewest goals in the premier leagueonly surpassed, and by one goal, by the Citythe newcastlethe Brighton and the Everton.

In addition, this year it has incorporated a key piece that adapts perfectly to what it asks for Michael Arteta: Gabriel Jesus. A striker as mobile as the Brazilian brings dynamism to the attack and gives a fang to a team that, after the departure of aubameyang Y Lacazette, he was lame. The Brazilian has started the season like a shot and already has five goals in the first nine games. In addition, he understands perfectly with his compatriot Gabriel Martinelli, who has also raised the level this year and is one of the main culprits for the good direction of the team. If to all these ingredients we add the quality of Odegaardthe leadership of Xhaka and the imbalance of sakawe have one left Arsenalwhich this year, is very serious.
