Hey guys! Sorry about canceling the J-League adventure, but I really did believe that I did not have time. Fortunately for you I have begun my Arsenal adventure. So without further ado here we go.
Part 1:
The reason that I chose Arsenal was because I liked their playing style and they had really good youth players. I began with the 2007-2008 squad and to be honest there were a couple of problems that had to be addressed.
1. Not enough coverage in the back. Kolo Toure and Willaim Galas were the only 2 quality backs in the side. Senderos and Djourou were not good enough to garner playing time.
2. There was a striker problem.
3. Not enough youth players.
So I began my managerial career at Arsenal by signing some quality youths. I signed Guilherme and Steven Defour for cheap and sent them out on loan so that they could get some playing time. Then came the friendly with Boreham.
It really was a no contest with the away side coming on top with a score of 5-0. Rosicky grabbed a brace while Fabregas, Eduardo, and Adebayor also contributed to the massecre. This game was a building game for my side. I really tried to look at the contributions that each person made and judge by their performances where they should play. I was overall pleased with the match and had a starting formation in mind.
Stay tuned tommorrow for part 2! I will be updating every day!
