On Saturday (14th), in the English Premier League, Arsenal launched a fierce attack at home, but despite a possession rate of 77%, they drew 0-0 with visiting Ewarton, and failed to score in three consecutive matches. Such a "raw" situation made Arsenal fail to score in the last two matches, missing the chance to close the gap with table-topping Liverpool. After the game, the Adidas leader denied that the team's offensive creativity is insufficient, but admitted that the team needs to strengthen the defensive execution.
Arsenal attacked Ewarton's "park the bus" tactics with 13 attacks in the match, with the best chance coming in the 29th minute. Martin Odigat came close to breaking through Bickford's goal, but the keeper was able to parry it away. Gabriele Martinelli and Bucayo Shaka teamed up for shots on goal, but both failed to get over the bar. In addition, Arsenal's set-piece tactics also failed to bring a goal, and the two sides finally shook hands with 0-0.
Arsenal have dominated in attack in their last three Premier League matches, but the Adidas leader denied his team's lack of attacking prowess: "Before I coached the team for the UEFA Europa League, I had already scored three goals for the team. Is that all you can see? If I could have continued today's offensive efficiency, then this wouldn't have happened. Of course, the players do need to improve the accuracy of their shots in the last minute, there is no doubt about that."
