Team newspaper: Real Madrid has started a dialogue with Saliba! Spanish media: Arsenal inquiry about Rodrigo s trade!

1:27am, 10 May 2025Football

According to statistics from

Opta, 38.7% of Arsenal's goals conceded in the Premier League this season came from set pieces, and the proportion of goals conceded by set pieces was the highest among all Premier League teams.

It seems that both set-piece offense and defense are the best in the league, but defense is a negative case. Didn’t Joffre practice set-piece defense...

Of course, this data may also be accidental. For example, Havertz, Gabb, White and other high points have long been injured, and some controversial penalties, etc., but at least this season, set-piece defense is definitely one of the Gunners’ weaknesses.

You should also pay attention to playing in Paris...

Arteta attended the post-match press conference. Let's take a look at the Arsenal coach's speech.

I would like to ask VAR to determine the winning goal is effective, what do you think?

I only saw some images, and I felt the situation was very different from the referee's decision, but they made the decision.

Arsenal has lost too many points this season while leading, why does this happen so frequently this season?

I think the answers for each game may be different. Today, it is obviously because there is something wrong with our defense. The opponent has not many set-piece opportunities, but our defense is terrible. In Premier League games, this will get you punished, whether you are leading or falling behind.

Have you noticed that Enrique almost rotated the entire team in the league this week, and the only starting main force is Joo Neves. Is this an advantage for them?

I don't know, they have won the league, so they can do that. We can't, because we still have work to do in the Premier League. But we have four days to rest and I fully believe the team will be able to get back to their best level to play the next game.

There are still many jobs in the Premier League? Are you talking about keeping the top five?

Yes, there is still a lot to do, because in terms of mathematical calculations, we have not yet ensured the Champions League qualification, and we dare not say that we will keep the runner-up, so there are still many things.

Regarding the rules of the game, Havertz's hand touching the ball against Villa was sentenced to invalidate, and Evanielsen's goal today was sentenced to valid. What do you think of such inconsistent judgments?

I would rather not comment.

This result is disappointing. I know you want to ensure the runner-up position, but considering that there are pursuers in the future, this result must be disappointing, right?

Yes, every time you can't win, especially when you lose, it's disappointing. As I said just now, the anger, disappointment and bad feeling in my heart will ensure that we have a good performance on Wednesday and reach the finals.

Speaking of injury situations, are you confident that Tinbel can catch up with Wednesday's game?

Confidence? No, not yet. Because Tinbel could not play today, there are still 4 days left for the next game.

What exactly is the problem with Tinbel?

I can't tell you.

So what about Erdgao? He seemed to have injured his foot during a shot in the second half. Is he okay?

I haven't talked to the team doctor about his problems yet, so I don't know either.

The above are some of the contents, let’s talk about it briefly.

Regarding Evan Nielsen's goal, I honestly think it was suspected of handball. It felt like I hit the elbow, but the referee determined that the goal was valid. Since this situation directly caused the goal, no matter whether it is refraction or reaction, it should be invalid as long as it is determined that it is a handball. And this is how Havertz's handball was judged before this season. It is indeed unreasonable to be inconsistent now.

But to be honest with this ball, do I feel that Odegao is suspected of foul? If the goal is cancelled, is it possible that the referee will also look at the possibility of a penalty kick? But the game is over anyway, so it’s useless to say more.

Arteta is obviously dissatisfied with the penalty, but to be honest, it is right that he doesn't say much, because many gun fans are already tired of Arteta's "excuses" and complaints. At this time, talk less and win the game that should be won is the most important thing. That is to say, the next game...

Arteta's explanation for the lack of a rotation lineup is that the team "still have a lot of work" in the Premier League. After all, in terms of mathematics, the top five has not been guaranteed, and there is a 4-day difference between the games. The players have time to recover. I hope the situation is as he said...

The current public opinion environment is very unfavorable to Arsenal, but as the saying goes, it is said that a hot man will die. When everyone is optimistic about Paris, it is possible to survive. The 1-goal difference is, Paris is not a cosmic team, and Arsenal is not a real bottom. Don't underestimate yourself. The more you are not optimistic, the less you need to be pressured, the more likely you are to create surprises. Come on!

As long as you advance to the finals, the public opinion atmosphere will come back!

Odegao should be fine. He also mentioned it after the game, but Timber's situation is worrying. Judging from Arteta's statement, Timber may even be absent from Paris... I hope this is just a smoke bomb, but Timber did not make it into the roster, so the situation seems not that simple.

If White starts in the end, it's really uneasy. White's performance has not met standards since his comeback, and Thomas must not leave the midfield position.

Pray that Tinbel is safe.

This season, Rice has scored 8 goals and assisted 10 times, directly participating in 18 goals, which is also the most goals he has participated in in a single season since his debut.

The one who scored the most goals in the previous season was last season, with 16 goals.

In other words, since joining Arsenal, Rice's offensive data has been growing higher and higher, which is not unrelated to the use of Arteta and the change in position. Moreover, this season is not over, and the data may be better!

If Rice can participate in 20 goals in a single season, that is an amazing number. I think he is already the MVP in Arsenal this season! It's just too tired... It's worrying.

Ordgow talked about his foot injury after the game: "Yes, I think it's OK, I just got kicked, so it's a little sore, but it's OK."

Hope it's OK. Odegao's performance this season is disappointing, but I still hope that the captain can stand up and encourage the whole team in the key battle. He is better than not being able to play, otherwise who else can be in this position? This is a battle of redemption. If Odegao performed well in the next game, fans would not care about his bad condition before, and he would be a hero! But if Odegao and the whole team were eliminated in the next game, they will be tried...

I still believe Odegao is capable. I don’t know where the problem occurs. Since my comeback, I will lose all my confidence, aura and feeling...

Last look at a few rumors. According to the news, Real Madrid regards Saliba as the primary goal of the defense.

reported that Saliba has actually had a dialogue with Real Madrid, which is the only team he is willing to leave Arsenal to join. The central defender does not want to push himself to leave the Gunners, but Arsenal must assure him that he has the ability to win the championship trophy. The news reported by the

may not be accurate now, but so many rumors point out that Real Madrid is determined to win Saliba and is definitely not making a name out of nothing. I don’t know whether the two sides have negotiated, but they definitely have contact. This is Real Madrid’s specialty, and it will collapse internally first...

I still believe that Arsenal can renew Saliba’s contract, but as the team newspaper said, Arsenal must promise to win the championship. There is no room for negotiation. The level and value of these players are aimed at the championship. It is unrealistic to get the Champions League qualification every year.

So next season may be the last chance. If you don’t win the championship, you may be gone in one breath. Of course, it would be better if we can win the championship this season...

Western media Relevo reporter Rodra reported that Arsenal has asked about Rodrigo's situation in recent days, and the striker will decide the future after talking to Alonso.

It is reported that the starting negotiation price for signing Rodrigo is close to 100 million euros.

In fact, there is no authoritative news that Real Madrid will sell Rodrigo, let alone whether Arsenal can buy...

In fact, even if Real Madrid sells, I don't think Arsenal will buy:

First of all, Rodrigo plays mainly right winger in Real Madrid, and there is already Saka in this position, and Rodrigo is not a substitute.

Secondly, although Rodrigo can also play a guest center, it is obvious that his most suitable position is not the center;

If placed in the left winger, there are actually many people who are suitable for him, and his price is definitely high. If he enters the market, many teams will buy it, and Arsenal may not have a chance.

So I think there is no substantive content for the time being.

Saliba is not possible for Rodrigo, and Arsenal will not let Saliba go. According to German Sky Sports, until May 4, the agency that recently negotiated a contract renewal on Sane was close to reaching an agreement with Bayern on renewal. Aber also publicly confirmed the matter. The new contract does not include signing fees and is a salary cut contract, and the annual salary will be reduced from 20 million euros to 14-16 million euros.

However, on the evening of the 4th, Sane informed Abel that he had changed his agent and that his agent is currently Zahavi. In view of this, the contract renewal negotiations have become open again, and of course, it is not ruled out for renewal, but it is uncertain whether Bayern will still reach an agreement with Sane.

Arsenal was interested in Sane before and now, and Aber hoped to keep Sane.

The very strange situation, the contract renewal was originally reached, and Sane suddenly informed Bayern that he had changed his agent and renegotiated... Maybe he was dissatisfied with the treatment.

But this has nothing to do with Arsenal. I don’t know why Germany’s Sky Sports has always used Arsenal as a price increase. Can’t we look for Manchester United? It’s a professional match...

Romano tweeted: Heysen’s future will be decided soon, maybe this month.

Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool are all competing for the central defender, and his liquidated damages are £50 million. Heysen will evaluate all options before deciding on the future.

Everyone also saw Heysen's level in this game. Scoring is actually the icing on the cake. The key is his defense or game temperament.

Herisen is not a simple character at a young age. He has a calm and composed self-confidence. All talented players will feel this kind of relaxation.

50 million pounds is definitely worth it. He is worth the price. The question is whether he should buy it and whether he can buy it. I have analyzed it several times. I won’t say much. Let’s wait for him to decide.
