Problems for Arsenal

Surprises come in big doses from Premier League. After the departure of Fabregas and the coach stubbornness not to strengthen the team with some new players, Arsenal started the season poorly with a draw with Newcastle in the first stage and a defeat at home yesterday with Liverpool, score 0-2.

Even if the transfer budget was large, Wenger did not want to bring new players and this thing might cost him his position from the Gunners bench, a position occupied from 1996.

In England people started betting it will be the last season for Wenger at Arsenal. But the manager holds his position: “There is no chance for me to go, I like to stay grounded. We are early in the season, there’s not a tragedy. I don’t feel more pressure than the usual. Next week is an important one and we must remain united! Fans are upset, I understand, but to look at long-term goal: we want to make a good team”.

On the other side, Liverpool boasts three huge points, but overall remains a modest game that made English ironic to wonder at the end: “How can a team win a match without firing at the gate?”. Liverpool opened the scoring in minute 78, after own goal by Ramsey and raised the score at two by Suarez goal.

The Community Shield from yesterday was a game worthy off all cheer and applause. Facing two of the most important teams from the Premier League, and not mentioning that they are from the same town, Manchester, with a long history of their rivalry, United and City offered an extraordinary show for the eye.

City started full throttle a game that, after the first period the score was 2-0 for them. Things couldn’t be more perfect for Mancini’s team. The only thing is that, when you have an opponent like Man United, you have to keep standards high during the whole game.

Being brought to reality during the break, United came back alive. In the 52 minute, Chris Smalling got rewarded for his efforts and took the score to 2-1. But this wasn’t enough for the Red Devils. Taking advantage of their genius player, Nani took the initiative accompanied by Rooney and managed to equal in 58th minute of the game and then, just before the final whistle, stroke another time, taking the Community Shield.

After the game Rooney said: “Have to say, I think today was a footballing lesson. Great win for the champions.”

Congratulations Manchester United!
