Arsenal are going to be one of the new teams around here after a long break. I'm curious about their performance especially. Because they had a really amazing season in the English Premier League. Maybe they missed a big chance to become even the champions but they still had an incredible run. Now Arteta will be expected to have the same performance with the team in the Champions League as well. However this is technically a much more difficult task for him of course.
Because they are a really young team and the new team leader is going to be Odegaard after Xhaka's departure. I wonder how being a very young team will affect their consistency especially.
I think several players who have won the Champions League and EPL can have an impact on building the mentality of Arteta squad. Jorginho, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus will be examples to motivate Arsenal young squad in their pursuit of the championship trophy. even though Odegaard is lined up as club captain, to maintain concentration and consistency against various pressures these three names are suitable as references. I think including Arsenal in the list of favorites to win is also very appropriate at this time, because Arteta has the most expensive squad in the world at the moment.
It also doesn't make sense if, with the presence of players with very high prices, Asrenal only targets to finish in the top four of the standings. The Champions League is also of course their main priority next season.
