The Gunners are unbeaten in 7 games! TA: Suweimendi gives away 11 straight passes after appearing, changing the game trend

October 5th Arsenal defeated West Ham United 2-0 at home. In the 30th minute of the game, Odegao was injured and Suvimenti was ordered to be in danger. TA wrote an article that it was this substitution that completely changed the trend of the game, and Suvimenti dominated the game with his outstanding performance.

After Suvimenti appeared, Arsenal's formation changed from a liquid midfielder to a more stable 4-2-3-1. His influence was immediate, and both of the team's goals were derived from his instigation in the midfield, although he did not directly receive assists.

data is the best proof. Although he only played for 60 minutes, Suvimenti completed the highest 11 straight passes in the game, and tied with his teammates for the first place with four penetrating passes into the offensive zone 3, completely tearing open West Ham United's defense line.

After the game, coach Arteta explained in detail the key substitution. He admitted that Odgao's injury disrupted the original "clear intention", but he praised Suvimenti for making the team "slightly different, but still very efficient". Arteta revealed that the reason why he replaced Suvimendi instead of Evaneri, who had previously replaced Odgao, was a tactical deployment against West Ham United.

He pointed out: "Especially considering their (West Ham) counter-defense against our midfield, I think using Suvimenti can create better space... They have a lot of direct long passes and second-place scrambles, and we want to make sure we can control that."

For the starting midfield trio of Odgao, Rice and Eze in this game, Arteta said that the combination "requires more chemistry and time", but Odgao's early injury brought the trial to abrupt end.

Before the international match day, Arteta tried different adventure midfield combinations in two consecutive games, demonstrating the team's lineup depth and tactical flexibility, which is undoubtedly a positive signal for Arsenal's next championship journey.
