Arsenal's 13th career championship club

Arsenal's 13th career championship club

Arsenal FC is a professional football club based in London, England. His league is the Premier League, and his home stadium is the Emirates Stadium.

It is a club that has won 13 times in the first division. In particular, it has the record of the only undefeated victory since the launch of the Premier League and the most wins in FA Cup history. In addition, Arsenal has a record of participating in 97 consecutive seasons in the top English professional football league as of the 2022-23 season.

Arsenal was founded in 1886 by the Royal Army Corpsmen of Woolwich, south London, under the name Dial Square, and changed the name of the club to the current Arsenal via Royal Arsenal and Woolwich Arsenal. Local rivals include the Northern London derby against Tottenham Hotspur FC, located in the same hometown of North London.

Of course, Chelsea has also become a strong rival to the league title in recent years, but it is not comparable to Tottenham, a noisy neighbor and the same club in North London. There is a rival that even if you lose to Chelsea, you should never lose to Tottenham. In particular, the war of nerves between the two clubs intensified after the player transferred several years ago.

In the Premier League, Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea formed the Big Four, and they won the 2003–04 season without a loss. In fact, it is on a solid footing compared to other EPL teams, which can be seen from the fact that it was called England's bank because it broke a new record in the transfer market in the mid-1900s. The crowd mobilization is second after Manchester United (the cheapest ticket is more than 100,000 won) In fact, this is only a difference in the size of the stadium, and the ticket price at Emirates Stadium is nearly twice that of Old Trafford, surpassing Manchester United in terms of entry revenue. Sales of goods and accessories are also at the top.

Recently, it has been notorious for not spending too much money in the transfer market, which may be due to Arsene Wenger's tendency to turn Arsenal into a surplus club in the long run, but it is also due to the financial burden of building a new stadium that remains. If you think about the numerous clubs that have fallen due to financial problems, you can understand that Arsenal and Wenger have formed a team while taking austerity fiscal policy. In fact, Wenger spent at least  이상은10 million a year until winning the championship undefeated, and between 2005 and 2009, he had to make an emergency loan from the bank to spend a lot of transfer fees. Of course, Wenger endured without a loan. If you look at the financial situation in 2010, I paid back quite a lot. It is said that full repayment is possible by 2022. And on September 3, 2013, in Korean time, Mesut  4,zil was recruited from Real Madrid for 20042 million, dispelling the stigma of being a "cheap club" and a "club that does not recognize the reality of ransom inflation alone."

Recently, Stan Krankie has provided a lot of money to the summer transfer market in the 21/22 season, including Arsenal's No. 1 investment, and the stigma of being a salty club has disappeared after several interviews to invest in Arsenal.

Unlike its reputation in the league, the UEFA Champions League has never won. Arsenal is the only club that has never heard of Big Year among the 100 Champions League wins. He was relatively weak in the continental tournament, with runners-up in the 2005–06 season (1–2 loss to FC Barcelona), and the rest of the continental tournament winning the 1969–70 InterCity Fairs Cup and the 1994 Cup Winners' Cup. And in the 2000 UEFA Cup final against Galatasaray SK in Turkey, they lost 1–4 after a penalty shootout. The runner-up is also the best performance. At this point, he deserves to be nicknamed the home tiger. In the 2008–09 season, when his performance was chaotic, he somehow advanced to the semifinals of the Champions League, but unfortunately failed to advance to the finals as he gave up both home and away games to Manchester United, who was in the semifinals.

It was the only team called the Big Four to be managed by a non-foreign owner, but in April 2011, American businessman Stan Krankie bought shares of shareholders and became the largest shareholder in the club. The new stadium also bought Arsenal's long-term debt, confirming the acquisition with a total acquisition amount of about 드로900 million. With this, we can expect a little bit of Arsenal's active recruitment... Krankie is also the owner of the NBA Denver Nuggets, and if you look at it there, it's not much different from Arsenal who don't spend money now. However, as shown in the Sophie Stadium category, they are receiving huge complaints from Arsenal supporters because they have invested heavily in the LA Rams.

As mentioned earlier, Stan Krankie has been supporting Arsenal a lot recently.

It is also the tomb of Asian soccer players. Except for Australia's Matthew Ryan, there were a total of five Asians, because all but Takehiro Tomiyasu, the fifth and current Arsenal player, were ruined. Junichi Inamoto is famous for selling uniforms, and Ryo Miyai and Park Chu-young failed thoroughly. Takuma Asano was a little better than the previous three, but he had to rent out his work visa due to work permit problems, and Wenger left Arsenal during Hanover's loan. As a result, he transferred to another team while on loan.

From the perspective of older soccer fans in the region, it was remembered as a club that played defense-oriented soccer until Wenger took office and shot 1-0. At that time, he had a strong nickname, "Boring boring Arsenal." The description of this grim time is detailed in Nick Hornby's "Fever Pitch" and "Football Legend Premier League: Arsenal (2010)", called Old Football Fan's Bible. In the 1930s, when coach Herbert Chapman and George Allison were in charge, Alex James played defensive football to upset his opponents, and in the 1947/48 season, he won the championship under coach Tom Whitaker's leadership.

This image became solid in the late 1980s and early 1990s when George Graham was in charge. At that time, the team blocked the opponent with a strong tackle and efficient offside trap by "Back Four," consisting of captain Tony Adams, Steve Bold, Richardson, and four Nigel Winterburn after the first goal. Whenever they do an offside trap, they raise one hand as if they were declaring an offside. Of course, there were also famous strikers such as Brian Maud, Paul Merson, David Lawcastle, Anders Limpar, and Ian Wright, but there was little to call a great game for fans of the opposing team at the time. In the 1994 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup final, Italy's Parma was defeated 1–0 and the image of a "boring Arsenal" was imprinted on Europe. However, even this became a thing of the past as Wenger took over as manager during the 1996/97 season and settled for "Art Soccer."

In summary, until the late 20th century, the team had a relatively boring style of play, but since Arsene Wenger's appointment, it has completely transformed into a representative team that uses art soccer, and its stance has continued under the current coach, Mikel Arteta. However, the tactical colors of Arsene Wenger and Mikel Arteta are slightly different in terms of tactical freedom. Arsene Wenger aims for pass football through free and organic off-the-ball, but Arteta differs in that it aims for pass football based on thoroughly refined off-the-ball and pattern play. However, this is just a different story, and in the big picture, both coaches try to play beautiful soccer.
