After the match started, Aubameyang charged straight into the Everton's backfield like an arrow.
According to the tactics set by the coach before the game, he only needs to focus on the final shot; he doesn't need to worry about anything else.
Aubameyang had indeed done this before, but after joining Arsenal, he took the initiative to make changes. Appropriate pressing in the attacking third might not be very effective, but it could still have a small impact. At least it could disrupt the opponent's rhythm a little, though not much, but he still decided to do it.
He knew that here, he could only succeed and had to succeed.
There are no shortcuts to success other than putting in more hard work.
Soon, Aubameyang and many of the forwards' efforts paid off. Everton players, in their eagerness to make a pass, made a mistake when passing the ball forward, and Arsenal players won the ball back.
After dribbling for a while, Xhaka attracted two Everton players before launching a long diagonal pass to right winger Iwobi.
During Arsenal's counter-attack, Iwobi didn't cross directly after reaching the byline. Instead, he made a cutback pass from the byline. Unfortunately, while the timing of the pass was good, the quality was slightly lacking. The ball was cleared by Everton's defense, and Arsenal earned their first corner kick.
Ultimately, the corner kick did not yield the desired result. Although Aubameyang had anticipated the far post, he failed to adjust his positioning in time and missed the opportunity to shoot. Although the ball was won by his own teammate Mkhitaryan, he shot it wide.
In this match, Everton's Rooney did not start, which made Everton seem somewhat powerless in attack. After more than ten minutes of play, Everton had very few attacks. For most of the time, their players basically parked the bus in their own half to block Arsenal's attacks.
Arsenal's transformation in attack after signing Aubameyang is almost undeniable. His excellent positioning and movement have greatly pleased Wenger on the sidelines.
Although more than ten minutes into the game, Arsenal still couldn't change the score, but Wenger believed it was only a matter of time before they scored under such pressure.
And the situation on the scene was pretty much as Wenger had imagined. When the game reached the 22nd minute, Arsenal, who had been dominating the pace of the game, finally took the lead and changed the score.
This was a normal attacking opportunity. After a few passes, Iwobi once again made a cutback pass from the byline. This time, having learned from his previous experience, Aubameyang seemed to have found some understanding with the opponent. He was perfectly positioned for the back pass and completed the shot with a comfortable push.
The ball rolled into Everton's goal with a single kick.
Scoring in his debut, Aubameyang excitedly ran to the stands to celebrate with the fans he had greeted earlier. He put his hand to his ear, listening intently to the cheers and shouts of the fans.
Soon, he was surrounded by his teammates, who all offered their blessings to him.
It has to be said that Aubameyang's talent in positioning is indeed very good, and he is loved by many fans.
"Goooooooooooooooal"
"Aubameyang is simply amazing. He brought us a goal as soon as he arrived. My God, he is a natural striker."
"This goal fully demonstrates his individual ability. If it were Lacazette, he might not have been able to get into position immediately."
In the previous ten or so matches, it has been proven that although Lacazette has a lot of attacking methods, his ability to make runs is indeed inferior to Aubameyang's.
Aubameyang's current value has effectively filled the void in Arsenal's attack, prompting the on-site host to exclaim that Wenger is still as sharp as ever.
When the game restarted, Everton's attack didn't last long before Arsenal took control of the game again, a scene that made Rooney on the bench very anxious.
But just as he was trying to convince the coach to let him play, Arsenal scored again.
Ramsey received a pass from Mkhitaryan in the middle and cut inside a couple of steps. Seeing an opening in front of him, he opted for a long-range shot, which surprisingly resulted in a goal.
Two goals were scored in less than 30 minutes of the game, which silenced Rooney, who had just wanted to come on.
Yes, at this stage of the game, even he wasn't confident of defeating Arsenal.
Putting aside Arsenal's formidable attacking firepower in this match, the opposing goalkeeper, who seemed to be doing nothing, was not an easy opponent to deal with.
Before this, he had practiced his shooting skills diligently for a while, eager to score a goal against the opponent in this match. However, the head coach did not give him a chance at all and directly put him on the bench.
He understood the coach's good intentions. On the surface, the coach said he should take a good rest, but in reality, he didn't want him to be embarrassed because of the team's consecutive losses.
They all know how strong Arsenal is right now, and even if Rooney plays, he probably won't make much of a difference. Rather than letting the opponent waste their energy, why not avoid Arsenal and let Rooney shine in the next game?
.........
"Look at this, Aubameyang truly lives up to his reputation as the player handpicked by the professor. Since he arrived, Arsenal's attacking quality has immediately changed. Now, who dares to say that the professor is a player who has been eliminated by the times?"
In Lao Jiu's live stream, when the match reached the 68th minute of the second half and the score had become 4-0, Lao Jiu couldn't help but stand up again to criticize those haters who had said online that the professor was outdated.
Seeing the Gunners' red-hot firepower and Lei Ming's inaction during the normal game, Lao Jiu couldn't have been happier.
Although he used to be a die-hard fan of Meringer, that doesn't stop him from liking the current Arsenal.
"What did I say before? When facing a parked bus defense, shoot more long-range shots, shoot earlier, and create more corner kicks. And look at me, wasn't I right? The game isn't even over yet, and Ramsey has already completed a hat-trick of long-range shots all by himself. It was so easy."
"It's hard to imagine that Everton is still a sixth-placed team in the league. I don't know how they got there in the first place."
"Of course, I think Aubameyang's presence was also crucial in this game. It was his repeated pulling that allowed Ramsey to complete the play so smoothly, without a doubt."
