What are seeing is that everybody, not just Gabby, plays at that intensity and that willingness to win the ball, to promote mistakes and to play in the opponent's half as much as possible. We tried to get them when we bring people in or develop our players and that's always the objective. We tried to improve the team and recruit in order to get better and obviously there were some things that we didn't have. On if we were missing movement up front last season. When he's in close or open spaces, we need someone to make him look better and I think the connection is already there and with the wingers too. I think he makes Gabby better and he needs a threat in front of him because he's a player that can find the last pass at any moment. You can see the way they look for him on the pitch, on and off the ball, and what he's able to transmit as well on that pitch so I am really happy. You are hoping that that is going to happen but obviously a player has to adapt to a new city, to a new club, new teammates and he's done it in a really fast and natural way. It's just a team effort and individually and collectively they are really living the game in every single ball and this is what we demand them to do. The moment we give it away it's about how the team reacts, how compact we are, how willing we are when that press is beaten to get back and be compact again. It's about the connection between all the players, all the units, the intensity, the willingness to win the ball as high as possible on the pitch. Obviously, it's a big score but there are still a lot of things that we need to improve. Te games you have to play within the game is something different and it's good preparation for us, and there were many moments within the game that went for us. They have a different way of playing, a different character. We prepared to play against a team that has been very, very successful in the last few years, that has a huge European experience and we wanted a different test. Here’s every word of the manager’s post-match press conference from our final friendly match of pre-season: So not surprisingly, the manager was a very happy man after the game. It should enjoy the prospect.It was a very happy homecoming for Mikel Arteta and the team after a successful pre-season programme in Germany and the USA.Īfter four wins out of four during those two trips, we ran out convincing 6-0 winners over the side that finished fourth in La Liga last term, back in front of our supporters at the Emirates. On Sunday, for the first time in 56 years, England may get that. Instead its antecedent has always been a major footballing trophy, the acknowledgement that an England team is the best in the world, or at least on the continent, at the sport it clings to most ardently and cares about most deeply. The “it” from the song has never really referred to “football,” which has been in plentiful supply. The people who allow themselves to be happy at this prospect are in the right, not the ones coming to “well, actually” it. Can it come home again, if it has just arrived? How many “its” are there? How many rooms are in the home? No doubt some odious attention-seeker has already or will soon make the case for why this isn’t the “it” that counts, but I’m not checking Piers Morgan’s Twitter feed on this one, and neither should you. That is the point of being a fan, and the privilege of being a fan of a team that is traditionally pretty good. If the women bring it home on Sunday, then what happens to the catchphrase in November, when the men travel to a World Cup they’re among the favorites to win? Fans of the England men’s team, including many of the people most invested in the women’s performance Sunday, will presumably still want their team to win the tournament in Qatar, no matter what happens this weekend.
