Sendros: Arteta has the possibility of "Waterloo", Slot needs to cater to Wilz

The Premier League this season has settled and Arsenal once again won the runner-up. Former Swiss star Sendros admitted that the Gunners encountered many difficulties this season, causing the club's lineup to be uneven in the second half. Although the Arsenal made a breakthrough in the Champions League and they eliminated Real Madrid, the team still did not win any championship trophy, and the outside world's dissatisfaction with Arteta began to appear. Sendros said: Arteta may have a "Waterloo", and this situation may occur next season. Although Tajikistan coaches Arsenal showing an upward trend, the undeniable fact is that except for Arteta's early FA Cup and Community Shield Championships won by Emery, the young coach has not led his old club to other championship trophys, which means that the Gunners are in the championship window in these seasons.

During the season transfer window, the management will also make substantial signings. Sendros predicts that the arsenal should introduce an orthodox center. At that time, Arteta will have no excuse of "many injuries and poor lineup thickness", and then the pressure on coach Tajiki will rise sharply. Once the head coach experiences psychological pressure, this problem will infect the players, and the pressure from the whole team increases together, and the team's record is likely to have a "Waterloo". Therefore, Sendros is not optimistic about Arsenal's record next season. If they cannot save the Premier League runner-up and encounter a "Waterloo", they may not even be able to compete for a seat in the Champions League. Although Liverpool has just started to offer Wiltz, Sendros also admitted that Wiltz's bid for Slot is almost the same.

Some people think that Werz has strong abilities and excellent willpower. He must have a broader prospect when he comes to Anfield. However, Sendros gave another speculation-Slott needs to cater to Werz, which means that Werz's playing style does not match the current play style of the Slott system. If this German star wants to quickly integrate into the new environment, it is unlikely that he himself will make essential changes, then only the coach will re-establish the system to cater to new players. After the ball, I believe that on the surface, Liverpool has lacked central advancements and midfielders since the late Klopp era, but Anfield is not lacking in core. Wilz has a typical core player, while what Slot lacks is a player from a certain position, not a tactical core.

Therefore, the challenge Slot faces is not simply filling the lineup gap, but how to maximize Wilz's creativity without destroying the balance of the existing system. Wilz's playing style is more free and he is good at creating threats through dribbling and passing in the offensive third zone, which is a certain difference from Liverpool's current tactics of rapid conversion and wing penetration. Forced tuck him into the existing framework may weaken his traits and even lead to a disconnect between midfielders. Slott caters to Wilz's style of playing, and it cannot be said that he will definitely succeed or fail, but it is risky for both Liverpool and the players.

Arteta's tactical innovation did inject vitality into the Gunners, but as Sendros said, the champion drought was always the sword of Damocles hanging above the Spanish coach. When the transfer budget in the summer window truly transforms into a big-soccer-level signing, the chemistry of the locker room at the Emirates Stadium may usher in subtle changes - new players need time to integrate into the system, and the renewal of core players Saka and Odgao is like a time bomb, and any deadlock in salary negotiations can tear the locker room balance apart. It is worth noting that Manchester City and Liverpool are completing tactical iterations. Guardiola used Guvadior to reconstruct the backcourt goal output system, while Slot activated the midfield creativity through Sobosloy. In contrast, the full-back draw tactics that Arteta system relies on to become famous last season have been fully understood by its opponents. If it cannot develop new offensive routines in the preseason, it is easy to fall into a vicious cycle of "the tactics are cracked → the strong dialogue loses points → the player's confidence is frustrated".

So what Sendros is worried about makes sense. The potential dangers of Arteta's "Waterloo" medical team cannot be ignored. Jesus' three consecutive muscle strains last season exposed the flaws in the recovery plan. When the Champions League front and the league are deeply intertwined, every misjudgment from the team doctor group may become the last straw that broke the camel's back. Perhaps as former Arsenal team doctor Colin Levin said in the column: "Injury prevention in modern football requires algorithm support, but the Tarsch team still relies too much on traditional experience. "And Havertz also suffered serious injuries this season. If the German star begins to get frequent injuries, the club's record is more likely to have a "Waterloo".
