Wenger was so confident about this North London derby, so he naturally relied on some reason. Although the slogans he shouted before leaving London did have some meaning of spiritual chicken soup, the professor also believed in his heart that Arsenal has reached its peak now, and in terms of strength alone, he is definitely not inferior to any top giants in Yi family!

You should know that Arsenal not only retained the entire main frame this summer, but also upgraded the lineup, but also spent a whole summer to pull the team together. Vieira, who was rumored to have a long transfer soap opera with Real Madrid, finally decided to stay at Highbury, stabilizing Arsenal's morale. At the same time, the growth momentum of newcomers who joined Arsenal's yi lineup last season was quite gratifying. Their rapid maturity not only further strengthened Arsenal's overall strength, but also greatly enriched the Gunners' tactical routines. In addition, players such as Van Persie and Flamini, who joined Arsenal this summer, also showed good potential, making Arsenal's originally thin bench depth thicker.

What about Tottenham? Compared with Arsenal, which has further strengthened its configuration on the existing basis, Tottenham lost four major players including Robikeen, Luca Tony, Carrick and Heinze in the summer transfer window. This degree of loss is enough to force Tottenham to face the dilemma of pushing all of its mature tactical styles back. Even if George introduced new players such as Xavi Alonso, Evra and Klose as replacements for Carrick and others, Wenger did not think that Tottenham could restore its original state in this way.

In Wenger's view, the relatively stable and mature tactical system of the main lineup is the basis for Yi's team to achieve good results. Too frequent player flow and unstable playing styles, even if the team has strong books, it is difficult to achieve ideal results. Therefore, when seeing Tottenham make such a low-level mistake, Wenger naturally feels like he is stable!

Most importantly, many players in Tottenham, such as Cech, Ronaldo, Robben, Davis, etc., participated in the European Cup held in Portugal, and all reached the semi-finals with the team and even the finals. Although many players in Arsenal also participated in the European Cup, no main players entered the semi-finals with the team. In this way, Arsenal players naturally have to have a greater physical advantage!

Don't underestimate the difference between these two games. Although Ronaldo and Robben only played such two more games in the European Cup than Lungberg, Henry and others, they have to spend at least a week less time in these summers than the latter. For professional players, they have less time off for a week, and the fatigue and various hidden dangers accumulated in their bodies over the season are difficult to completely eliminate and restore, and the competitive state after the opening of the new season will naturally be difficult to guarantee.

It is precisely for the above two reasons that Wenger believes that his winning chance is quite large for this head-on confrontation with Tottenham.

"Charlie, do you believe it or not? This guy Wenger must think that as long as they can play their physical advantages, they can beat us in the Community Shield?" However, just when Wenger was full of confidence and thought that his side had a great advantage, he had already led the team to finish his whole day of training. George, who returned to the hotel, sat in the premium suite and said to Charlie Johnson who came to discuss tactics with him with a smile.

"George, I think this is a very likely thing to happen, and it is worth taking it seriously." Regarding George's sarcastic words, Yi did not echo the old Charlie, but frowned and expressed his opinion. "Although Arsenal's life goal is still very obvious, and most of the players also have experience in dealing with Arsenal, the problem is that if you want to block Arsenal's mid-lane offensive, you must have enough physical fitness to support it. Otherwise, the team will easily be weak in the game, and thus be lifted by Arsenal torn apart the defense line, and then lose the game."

"Well, Charlie, you're right. In terms of physical fitness, we are indeed at a disadvantage, which is indeed something to pay attention to." George nodded first, affirming old Charlie's concerns, and then suddenly changed the subject and said, "But Charlie, have you ignored something? Don't forget that the reason why we were able to make Arsenal fail to win in the North London derby last season was not just relying on the strategy of defending the middle and putting the side."

"Huh?" Old Charlie couldn't help but his eyes lit up and guessed, "Does George, you plan to play against Arsenal in the game like he did in the last time? But in that case, the physical fitness of the players is still an unavoidable problem. This fast-paced attack also requires a lot of physical strength."

"Since we cannot perform high-intensity defense due to physical fitness problems, we might as well fight and play against Arsenal on a verge against the attack. At least in this way, our hope of winning this game is greater than insisting on defensive counterattacks." George shrugged and looked confident. "Although Arsenal's defense was the second best in the UK last season, the best was Tottenham led by George. He only conceded twenty goals in the whole season, but this does not mean that Wenger is good at coaching defense. If that is true, then Arsenal would not have lost to us in White Hart Lane to four more than three months ago."

George naturally thought about the question raised by old Charlie before. This was also the decision made by George after careful consideration. Since Tottenham is trapped in physical fitness issues and is destined to be unable to play at normal levels on both offense and defense in the game, then just focus on the yi ends!

Although Arsenal's defense last season was second only to Tottenham among all 20 teams in the UK, the Gunners have never been famous for their steady defense. Especially now that Vieira and Campbell, two core figures supporting the Gunners' defensive system, have both reached their peak, Arsenal wants to play at the defensive end level like last season, which is obviously an unrealistic fantasy.

This is not George is talking nonsense. In George's previous life, since Campbell joined Arsenal, the O3O4 season was the only season in which the Gunners conceded in the league without thirty goals. In the four years when Campbell and Vieira partnered, the Gunners conceded goals in two seasons and broke the 40 mark, including the Oyio2 season in which the Gunners won the league championship in the last league!

Therefore, in George's view, when his players' physical fitness is at a disadvantage, the chance of winning by attacking instead of defending is undoubtedly greater than playing half-court offensive and defensive drills with Arsenal.

In this way, on August 8, the confident George and Wenger led their respective players to the Millennium Stadium on time. Obviously, both of them were planning to raise the championship trophy in front of their mortal enemies, and were preparing to announce to the entire English football world after winning the championship that their team was the best in England!
