Looking at the roster on paper, this Arsenal is definitely not as good as Real Madrid.
Furthermore, Arsène Wenger's cup competition ability is not as good as José Mourinho's.
If the two sides really clash, Fly absolutely cannot win without going all out and using his cheat.
This Real Madrid isn't even afraid of the peak Barcelona's tiki-taka, let alone Arsenal's?
Although he knew very well that this Real Madrid team was very strong, Fly could not back down.
He had to instill absolute confidence within the team.
Because this current Arsenal team, due to not winning a major trophy for a long time, lacks a kind of "invincible with me" belief from top to bottom.
To put it bluntly, they lack a championship culture.
What Fly needs to do now is to build this culture for the team.
The solution to not having a championship culture is actually very simple: win championships, win championships, and win more damn championships!
As long as you win more championships, it will naturally develop.
From the perspective of the roster on paper, winning a championship is indeed a relatively difficult task for the current Arsenal.
But Fly is not flustered at all, because at critical moments, he will make his move!
However, the prerequisite for this is that his teammates must also have the ambition to compete for the championship.
Otherwise, relying solely on him, he cannot win a football match involving 11 players.
On the TV screen, the Champions League group stage draw ceremony was still ongoing.
Among them, Tottenham Hotspur and defending champions Inter Milan were drawn together in Group A, along with Werder Bremen and Twente.
Schalke 04, Lyon, Benfica, and Hapoel Tel Aviv were drawn in Group B.
Manchester United, Valencia, Rangers, and Bursaspor were drawn together in Group C.
Barcelona, the top favorite to win the Champions League this season and part of the Dream Three, were drawn in Group D with Copenhagen, Rubin Kazan, and Panathinaikos.
In this group, besides Barcelona, the remaining three teams do not belong to the European top 5 leagues.
It can basically be considered a guaranteed passage for Barcelona, and they could even use their reserve squad throughout and still easily qualify as group winners.
The gap is simply too huge!
As for the four teams in Group E, they are Bayern Munich, Roma, Basel, and CFR Cluj.
Group F has four teams: Chelsea, Marseille, Spartak Moscow, and Žilina.
The most explosive Group G boasts Real Madrid, AC Milan, Ajax, and Auxerre.
Among them, Real Madrid has won a total of 9 Champions League titles in history, AC Milan has won 7 Champions League titles, and Ajax has also won 4 Champions League titles.
These three clubs combined have won a total of 20 Champions League titles!
The Group of Death, living up to its name!
As for Auxerre, they can only tremble in this group and act as accompanying fodder.
Finally, with Shakhtar Donetsk, Braga, and Partizan Belgrade drawn into Group H along with Arsenal.
This Champions League group stage draw ceremony officially came to an end.
How to put it, Arsenal also had very good luck with the draw.
Among the three group stage opponents, only Shakhtar Donetsk poses a bit of a threat to Arsenal.
Fly clearly felt that after Arsenal's draw opponents were revealed.
Wilshere, Fabregas, and the others' expressions instantly relaxed quite a bit.
"Alright, guys, the Champions League group stage opponents are out, any problems?"
Hearing Fly's words, Fabregas nodded, indicating no problem.
Nonsense, if he felt there was a problem playing against these weak teams, then he should just go home, wash up, and go to sleep.
Stop playing football, seriously!
"By the way, brother, I heard that Boss is making signings these past few days, do you have any inside information?"
Wilshere suddenly leaned over to Fly, furtively inquiring about the rumors he had heard.
Seeing Wilshere's slightly nervous look, Fly guessed what was on his mind.
It was nothing more than worrying that the club's new signings would take his position.
After all, Wilshere had not yet secured a starting position until now, so if someone in his position came, wouldn't it seriously affect his playing time?
Fly smiled and shook his head, giving him reassurance, "Don't worry, brother, the new players won't threaten your position, you just need to do what you should do."
Fly's words were not a lie.
After all, whether it was Hazard, Griezmann, Blaise Matuidi, or Varane.
Their positions did not conflict with Wilshere's.
Even Griezmann, who is also an attacking midfielder, is currently playing more as a forward or second striker.
The true midfield core who later helped France win the World Cup has not yet evolved.
At least at this point in time, Griezmann is not good at playing the attacking midfield position.
As for Blaise Matuidi, a pure defensive midfielder, he conflicts even less with Wilshere.
After receiving Fly's assurance, Wilshere couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
As long as the new players don't conflict with his position, it doesn't matter.
Fabregas heard Fly and Wilshere talking about signings and also leaned in to listen.
To be honest, ever since Henry left for Barcelona, Arsenal's squad has always left him unsatisfied.
He wanted to achieve great things at Arsenal, but he needed help.
With Arsenal's current squad, it was certainly unable to support his lofty ambitions.
That's why he had the idea of "going home".
But if Arsenal strengthened, then maybe he could consider it a little.
Staying and becoming an Arsenal legend was not impossible.
With this in mind, Fabregas leaned in and listened for a few sentences.
He knew that with Fly's status, he was destined to have a hand in transfers.
At the very least, he would have first-hand knowledge.
Even if Arsène Wenger didn't say anything, Arsenal's executives would inform him.
After all, Fly was the son of the major shareholder, and these executives were essentially just employees of his father.
How could an employee refuse the request of the Boss's son?
But when Fabregas heard the names Fly mentioned.
He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Because he found that he had never heard of these people at all!
Who are these Hazard, Varane, Blaise Matuidi, and Griezmann? Who are they?
Fabregas thought for a moment and knew that these were just more lottery tickets the Professor had found from somewhere.
He himself was also a lottery ticket chosen by the Professor back then.
It's just that his lottery ticket was a winner.
But Fabregas knew very well that most of Arsenal's lottery tickets over the years had not been winners.
After all, if lottery tickets were really that easy to win, other clubs would also start spending small amounts to buy lottery tickets, instead of spending large sums on big-name players?
Thinking of this, the idea that had just arisen in Fabregas's mind immediately extinguished.
"I was still too naive, after staying at Arsenal for so long, have I still not understood this club's transfer philosophy?"
"Stinginess is the norm for Arsenal, I was still holding onto too much hope."
A transfer rumor caused many Arsenal players to have different thoughts.
This is the unstable factor of this current Arsenal team.
Even if Fly knew about this situation, he could only pretend not to know, because before winning an important trophy, saying anything more would be useless.
