“I think him Arsenal this year will be fine. He took Gabriel Jesus and Zinchenko. And he has Mikel Arteta who is very good, I had him as DT at the City “, the one who risks a prediction is Sergio Kun Agüero in a streaming broadcast after the final of Community Shield Liverpool beat Manchester City at Wembley. And the Gunners agreed with him, at least on his debut. The Premier League had his opening match with Arsenal’s 2-0 victory Crystal Palacein a match in which the rhythm and dizziness characteristic of the English championship were not lacking.
The Arsenal bank continues to bet Mikel Artetawhile the Crystal Palace manager is an old acquaintance of the Gunners: Patrick Vieira. Gabriel Jesús and Oleksandr Zinchenko, both of Manchester City, officially made their Arsenal debut, while William Saliba returned to the club and made his Premier League debut after being on loan at Olympique de Marseille.
The first half of the match was very tight and with a great pace of play, but Arsenal found the advantage after 20 minutes due to a stopped ball. The goal is on a set-piece, when a corner kick is hit at the far post and Zinchenko – who was on the edge of the area – lets go and lowers the ball to Martinelli. The 20-year-old Brazilian with another header sends the ball into the goal, Vicente Guatia can do little to avoid the conquest. Towards the end of the first phase, Aaron Ramsdale went giant for the first time in the match and saved an amazing header in empty interval.
Early in the second half, Eberechi Eze had a chance to equalize the game on his feet but was met by a huge Ramsdale who prevented the score from being even. The development of the second half found those led by Vieira with the initiative to equalize the match and with Arteta’s team far behind and with the intention of freeing some against that would allow them to extend the advantage obtained.
In addition to having better intentions, the Crystal Palace was not clear and could not at any time have a clear situation to settle the score. In turn, each approach was defused by the visiting team which was very safe all night.
The London night had its last thrill in the 85th minute. Bukayo Saka overflows to the right and Marc Guehi, in an attempt to repel the ball, ends up scoring a goal against.
Arsenal have started in the best way, although they will have to correct many things if they are to fight well in attack against already established teams such as Manchester City or Liverpool. The big unknown is whether they will still be able to compete for the title or if, as in recent seasons, they will remain in the second phase of the tournament. At least for Agüero, they are candidates …
