Summer activity so far in a nutshell:
- Cucu & Enzo both told the club they want out and agents working on moves as reported MONTHS ago, many others feel the same but may not push as much, if at all.
- Chelsea open to selling any player other than ‘untouchables’.
- MANY transfer targets have already been contacted, many have already rejected a move (still some hope on a few).
- Alonso getting a big say but also, many of the targets I’ve heard about were pre-Alonso targets.
- Chelsea will PR the shit out of it all this summer - ‘we were never even interested in that player’ etc, etc…
- Some accounts will back up the above point and continue to ride the BlueCo train.
- Going to be a long ride, I’m willing to wait it out and see what they do, but can’t say I’m overly confident at this moment. Alonso’s pull might help in some cases but I’m still not convinced. Let’s see how the summer goes.
🧐 | The strategy was clear
Arsenal reached some unwanted milestones against PSG today:
• Lowest possession in a #UCLfinal since 2003/04 (24%)
• Fewest shots on target in a #UCLfinal since 2021 (1)
• Fewest shots in a #UCLfinal since 2022 (7)
• Fewest passes in a #UCLfinal since 2019 (285)
• Lowest xG in a #UCLfinal since 2023 (0.44)
The right tactical approach, or could things have gone differently? 🤔
No shots on goal for two hours after the fifth minute, averaged about two passes a minute, one of the most shameful cowardly performances ever seen in a Champions League final. Played for penalties and got what they deserved.
