White, good shape – Tammy shoots up the price! 5 interesting points after Chelsea beat Arsenal

Kai Havertz and Tammy Abraham scored goals in Chelsea’s 2-1 win over Arsenal in a pre-season friendly on Sunday. Even though it was just a warm-up game, the atmosphere of the fans in the stadium and the prestige of the London derby match made the game very entertaining. Both teams have learned a lot from this game, especially the home side that still has weaknesses to see. Let’s summarize some interesting points.

1. One person starting – one person finishing?

Sunday marked a big day for new Arsenal defender Ben White and Chelsea forward Tammy Abraham, making their first appearances in an Arsenal shirt. After making the £50m move, the latter could already be his last chance to impress manager Thomas Tuchel.

White may have to play a few more games to settle in with Arsenal, although he hasn’t had a lot of work to do in this game, but he has shown his composure in possession, especially when opponents squeeze the space, which is a thing. The Arsenal defender didn’t have it last season. He also showed off a run to block Ziyech’s incisive shot that dodges Leno, and we’ll wait and see if White can help elevate Arsenal’s defense in the new season.

Meanwhile, Abraham scored the winner as Chelsea won the match after taking advantage of Bellerin’s missed pass, although overall his form may not have been impressive, but the goal should give some confidence. get more And this could be a price and salary upgrade after a lot of rumors about a move this summer.

2. Havertz continues the form

It all hinges on German duo Kai Havertz and Timo Werner following their £70m and £50m move to Chelsea last year, respectively. The two took a longer break to adapt to the Premier League, with Frank Lampard initially unable to thrive on the German duo’s form. Until the arrival of Thomas Tuchel unlocked the two to show a stronger form.

Werner’s side may still be questioned about the finish, but Havertz has emerged as one of the best players in the second half of the season. He scored the winning goal for Chelsea to win the Champions League last season. And he continued his good form to pre-season, with this match against Arsenal Havertz scored a sharp goal for the team at the age of 22, we should see potential. more of him after this

3. Singha is it necessary to add to the center?

Chelsea currently have five centre-backs: Andreas Christensen, Thiago Silva, Antonio Rudiger, Cesar Azpilicueta. and Kurt Zouma, but the latter is said to have been sold out this summer. Or it could become part of a swap deal with Jules Kunde, the Sevilla centre-back, who “Sing the Blues” is negotiating to grab.

However, it begs the question: Do the Blues really need to spend money on a new centre-back? Zouma may have been on the bench lately but he has had a memorable season after scoring five Premier League goals. It is believed that the subject is likely to want to fight for a position at Chelsea more and news over the past week has been reported that Zouma does not want to be just a free agent in the deal of Kunde.

Young stars such as Duyon Sterling and Trevoh Chalobah have also impressed in pre-season. Both are not big-name players, but they have the potential to move up to first-team options, as shown against Arsenal, Sterling and Chalobah. Seeing that they are calm beyond their age and can still be trusted when called on to the pitch. It might be a risky choice to trust the youngsters, but with their performances in pre-season, Tuchel could give them a chance to play in the Premier League this season.

4. Shaka is still important

Granit Xhaka has always been linked with a move away this summer and last week Roma were close to signing him, but Arsenal ultimately turned down a move. The report states that “Cannon” is not happy with the offer that has come.

Xhaka has not been loved by the “The Gunners” since the controversy of swear words at the Gunners fans while throwing away their kits two years ago. This resulted in Shaka being stripped of the team’s captaincy.

However, after that incident, Xhaka gradually began to recover his form and became a key player for Arsenal again, and his confidence grew even more when he performed well with Arsenal. Switzerland in the past Euro football The goal he hit the equalizer in this game against Chelsea reinforces that the team still needs him.

Arteta confirmed after the game that Xhaka will stay at Arsenal and that he is a key player in the current squad, with the Gunners set to offer a new contract until June 2015. Along with ensuring that the players will pen the contract extension of course.

5. Smith Rowe Uplifted – Bellerin Roura

Mikel Arteta has been forced to leave the No. 10 after parting with Mesut Ozil in January. The Gunners rushed to loan Martin Odegaard from Real Madrid to replace him. Although the Norwegian midfielder has shown that he has the stuff, perhaps it’s not enough to lift Arsenal up and he certainly can’t help the team win European football.

This summer, the Gunners have been linked with a number of central midfielders, including Leicester City’s James Maddison, but there has been no sign of a new midfielder yet. Senal won’t have to look far from anyone else as star midfielder Emile Smith Rowe may be the answer he’s been looking for after being given the chance to wear the number 10 shirt.

Smith Rowe made his debut in a friendly against Chelsea in the first half, having been Arsenal’s best-playing player in the first half, after Chelsea’s lead he almost equalized. but unfortunately the ball hit the pole He also called for fouls several times and before the end of the first half he showed the ball like “Johan Cruyff”, creating a sensation among fans in the stadium. Smith Rowe was a confident player. Tall and this season, the sport lights should shine on him.

Another one is on the way to start but another may be reduced to roles this season, right-back Hector Bellerin. He was once one of Arsenal’s hottest players but over the past few seasons his form has steadily faded away, with Arteta starting with Callum Chambers. Indeed, in the right-back position, where he showed a good form, until Bellerin was sent down and was the passer who missed the gift to Abraham to score the winner, we may have seen that the right-back started this season. who will be
