Kroenke Jr.: I will continue to spend money to build Arsenal this summer! It is said that the Gunners are operating Mbemo!

Arsenal defeated Newcastle at home and officially secured the qualification for the Champions League next season!

Maybe it was later than expected to lock the Champions League qualification, but after all, I got it. I didn’t get it in a day. It’s useless to analyze any signing target. If I don’t even have the qualification to the Champions League, then why don’t I spend 200 million to 300 million...

It’s better to get three points from Newcastle at home and lock in the Champions League qualification!

A brief talk about the game: After winning this game, Arsenal ensured his qualification for the Champions League next season (the ranking is not that important). Although this is not the ultimate goal, at least it has completed the minimum task and has also given an explanation to the home fans. And this season, Newcastle finally won one in four games!

What is different from the first half is that #Arsenal# finally stopped being slow in the second half, but tried to start the half, and it achieved results. The team's running significantly improved, and Calafiori's appearance also played a role.

Lafite, you said he played as a left center back, but he obviously stood in front of Saliba, and his running was more flexible. He often appeared on the left side of the offensive third zone to support Newcastle; Odega also ran to the right side more in the second half to cooperate with Saka. In fact, this was one of Arsenal's killer moves in the past two seasons. Finally, the second half was effective. The cross from the captain and Saka cooperated in time, and Rice once again showed his ability to pass through Yang in a hundred steps!

The key is still the rhythm. Arsenal was dead in the first half and the offensive speed was too slow. Arteta must have emphasized it during the break, and it should be so! Accelerate personnel running, pressing to increase intensity, and counterattack more resolutely, opportunities will naturally come out, high-level pressure and rapid offensive and defensive conversions are the strength of Arsenal in the past few seasons. Besides, this is Arsenal's last home game this season. How to cross the performance in the first half... The midfield combination of Tonali and Guimaraes has both technology, hardness and coverage, which requires the whole team to run more to make up for. Saka also regained some vitality in the first and second half. These players were actually capable, but including Thomas, they did play too listlessly after being eliminated in the Champions League. Fortunately, the state was recovered in time in the second half and the task was completed. You can't be timid when playing Newcastle, and the hardness of the whole team has also been significantly improved in the second half.

Both sides had their own advantages in the first and second half, but Arsenal seized the opportunity in the second half. In fact, after 70 minutes, he felt that his physical fitness was still some problems. The third midfielder was particularly obvious. Rice was overdrawn, and Newcastle gradually suppressed him back. Fortunately, there was no absolute chance. Fortunately, Isaac was not there and Newcastle center was not alive. We should praise Kiviol today. Rafi also played a role after he came on the court. If Raya had not made a mistake in the opening game, she would have performed perfectly in this game. Fortunately, she did not concede the ball and saved it at the MVP level. Unfortunately, Envaneli still has no chance...Jorginho got the opportunity to say goodbye at home, so wish you a blessing!

It is not appropriate to deal with it several times in the last moment, but in short, after winning this game, the minimum goal is completed, and gun fans can relax and watch the last game!

Raya was officially selected as the best player in this game by the Premier League!

Raya's several pass mistakes after the opening game made the fans sweat. It was not very good, but he made up for his subsequent save and completed the redemption. If Raya had not been Raya in the first half, Arsenal would have even fallen behind by two goals... So although Arsenal performed poorly in the first half, Raya's outstanding performance stabilized the basic set, and in the second half, Newcastle did not give any chance.

Without Raya, you may not be able to win this game, the best thing is fine!

So what goalkeeper should I spend tens of millions to buy? There is really no need...

Arteta received a yellow card in this game, so he will be banned from commanding the team on the spot in the closing game of the season between Arsenal and Southampton, and will be suspended for one game.

is still the same. If you are stingy with the rules, you will be fine with giving a yellow card, and it depends on the referee's interpretation. The yellow card of Tazi is a little irrational.

But it doesn't matter anyway, there is no pressure in the last game, and some gun fans left a message saying that it is not allowed to arrange the offense smoothly if Tazi is not on the sidelines... It is indeed a bit rigid now.

In addition, as the head coach, he should set an example next season and abide by discipline. It is really not necessary for a head coach to get 3 yellow cards. According to statistics from Squawka, Newcastle is the first team to complete 10+ shots in the first half when Manchester United was away against Arsenal in April 2022.

In addition, Newcastle shot 5 times in the first 18 minutes of this game, but he never shot 1 time in the remaining games.

Arsenal did start too slowly in the first half, and the old problem of playing for Paris was made again. Now any team with tactical design arrangements knows that it is not necessary to start Arsenal first... It is really not possible to be shot so much in the first half.

But this data also highlights the importance of Raya. Without Raya, she might have been beaten in the first 18 minutes... So the best one is well deserved.

In fact, Arsenal played well in the first 20 minutes of the second half in this game. Newcastle is not afraid of you throughout the game. There will definitely be a fierce battle when the two sides meet next season. Be mentally prepared! According to statistics from Opta, Rice's current goals (16 goals for 102 games) have exceeded his goals for West Ham (15 goals for 245 games).

Firstly, thanks to playing for a strong team, and secondly, thanks to position and tactical arrangements, Arteta really gave Rice more room for attack, and even allowed him to show his free kick talent, so the tower also made an indelible contribution to this.

But after playing Real Madrid, Rice also clearly felt that he was almost exhausted. He was too tired this season... In fact, Thomas, Saliba and Rice were not in their best condition in recent weeks. It was obvious that they were tired. It was a blessing that they were not injured (if you have minor injuries, it would be fine)..

You must assign Rice good physical fitness next season, and you will regret it sooner or later... Rice is almost unable to straighten his back in the 75 minutes... Instead of building full-backs and central defenders, I don't mind buying another high-level midfielder! (Except Zubimendi)

This match against Newcastle is Saliba's 100th Premier League game.

In the first 100 Premier League games that represented Arsenal, Saliba's victory was on par with Campbell and Lauren. Congratulations on unlocking the milestone at a young age!

However, Arteta replaced Saliba in the second half, which is not a good signal. I'm afraid there should be an injury. Otherwise, in the situation in the first half, Tazi should not be the starting central defender...

It is not clear why at the moment, I hope it's okay. Fortunately, the season is almost over. Saliba has a good rest in the summer and it doesn't matter if he plays Southampton or not.

Let's see other news below.

Benwhite said in an interview with Mirror reporter RT that he is willing to return to England.

White said: "Of course I am willing to play for the country, and I have communicated with Tuchel several times. He is a very honest person and is a very good person! Obviously, I have not been selected for the national team for too long, so now I just need to play my own game and hope to return to England."

This is sooner or later. As mentioned before, with White's age and level, after a quarrel with the assistant coach, he retired in the national team? This is also a loss for him... Now White has made it clear that he will go back, so the problem has been solved, and what he needs now is to recover his state.

It is probably difficult to get back the right-back starter... But in this game against Newcastle, I feel that White has improved in form.

Altta said in an interview with Sky Sports before the game that the reason why Arsenal did not win the Premier League championship was red cards and injuries.

Arteta said: "Why hasn't Arsenal won the Premier League championship yet? Because of red cards and injuries, it can be confirmed. Otherwise, will we be very close to the goal? For me, the answer is undoubtedly, it must be the case."

After the game Arteta actually expressed a similar idea at the press conference. Objectively speaking, there are too many injuries and red cards, but not all of them are the responsibility of others.

I think there are two red cards that are controversial, and other sendoffs are fine, and other teams will also encounter them. As for injuries, they will have them. Arsenal does have more, but this is also related to the use of personnel.

Tazi actually knows the current public opinion and can see that he is under great pressure. Otherwise, he would not be able to say "the best team lost" after the Champions League elimination. He wanted to prove himself in a hurry, but he would have to win a championship no matter what the next season, even in the FA Cup... because it is not the second or third year.

Arsenal owner Kroenke Jr. promised in the pre-match manual that the club will continue to spend money to build a championship team this summer.

Kroenke Jr. said: "We plan to invest money to win and perform better next season. We are very happy to have Belta as the club's sports director, and he will play an important role in this regard.

Berta is part of a united and strong team and is supported by senior management. We know very clearly and clearly what we need to do and what we want to do, that is the way Arsenal is.

Ultimately, what we want is the same, we are just as eager to succeed, and everyone working for the club is the same."

I personally actually recognize the Kroenke family in recent years. It's not that I haven't invested money in these years, and I will continue to spend money to support Arteta this summer. Since spending money ranks among the top in Europe, what else can I say?

As long as the net investment this summer is close to 200 million, the Kroenke family will do their best, not dragging them down, and the rest depends on the coach. According to German media FussballTransfers, Arsenal intends to acquire Kaiserslautern center back Max Gordon, Gunners' youth training director Mertesak has negotiated with the 15-year-old star's agent.

reported that Arsenal plans to sign Gordon after he turns 16 in January 2026.

is only 15 years old and is a contract for the youth training camp. The more young talents, the better, and I will definitely support you!

The Turtle Brother said that Arsenal is pursuing Brentford winger Mbemo: "Arsenal's data analysis team locked in Mbemo last summer, and Arsenal is now pursuing the winger again. I was told that the dialogue is progressing, but the Gunners are not the only team pursuing Mbemo."

25-year-old Mbemo has 18 goals and 8 assists in the Premier League this season.

I personally refer to the news about Brother Shengui, after all, there are no more authoritative news reports yet. Let's talk about it later.

There is one game left, so after playing, I look at the summer window. Come on!
