But even though it was only a pre-season match, I think it's natural that we were all impressed by the game Arsenal displayed in this friendly match. In the first half Arsenal really played very well. They managed to take advantage of opportunities well enough so that they managed to get 3 goals in the first half. Arteta has indeed succeeded in building the Arsenal squad to become stronger every season. And yes, that's why Arteta is very trusted there and in fact I'm sure we all here also really appreciate Arteta who has succeeded in making Arsenal always compete in the race for the title. I think this season Arsenal will probably try to get their hands on the trophy. Because I think they deserve it.
Leverkusen was devastated against Arsenal in the friendly match. This is a big problem for them because they will be in the Champions League next year. Even though friendly matches are not important, the 4-1 score can be seen as a problem. It shows that there are problems in the defense area for Leverkusen. It was a perfect match for Arsenal as well. They defeated Leverkusen with a clear score. Xabi will control many things after this match.
This is a friendly match. There will not be much benefit from this other than morale because it can be seen that Leverkusen is not in prime condition. So I think Xabi Alanso will evaluate his squad especially in defense to face the next season well both in the Bundesliga and the Champions League.
For Arsenal, of course, this victory is a morale boost and has high confidence to face the next season better than before. In this match I also did not expect Arsenal to win with a landslide score over Leverkusen, the Arsenal players in this match looked more enthusiastic than last season. This is important progress for Arteta to start the next season well.
