First round of the Premier League. Manchester United lost to Arsenal 0-1. After the game, Manchester United legend Roy Keane made a post-match comment at Sky Sports. Keane commented on Arsenal's performance in this game. He said that if Arsenal wants to compete for the Premier League championship, he cannot be satisfied with shrinking defense after leading by 1 goal. This mentality may have led to Arsenal's excessive draws last season and the draw could not win the Premier League title.
Keane said: "Although no one thinks Manchester United can score two or three goals, I still can't help but worry about seeing Arsenal's performance. They were satisfied with shrinking defense when they led 1-0. Isn't this the reason why they got a lot of draws last season?
"If Arsenal is compared with Liverpool or Manchester City, the latter is always pursuing how to expand the score. Even when Liverpool is in a bad shape, you still feel like they can score two or three goals.
"This is the challenge facing Arsenal, but in the first game of the season, the players' sharpness does need to be improved and restored. Saka, Rice and Odegao, these players can obviously play better, but in any case, the victory takes away 3 points and wins the result of a clean sheet is worthy of recognition.
"The symbol of a top team is that they can still win the game when they are in poor condition. What worries me is that in the second half, Arsenal had many opportunities to completely defeat Manchester United, but judging from their on-the-spot performance, their offensive desire is obviously insufficient.
"Looking forward, if you want to compete with Liverpool, Manchester City and other teams, both competitors seem to be more inclined to pursue a second or third goal, while Arsenal's mindset is 'Oh, we have led 1-0, maybe we should hold on to the advantage'.
"This strategy has led them to gain too many draws last season, and the draw cannot win the league championship, and they must improve. Arsenal needs to show stronger finishing ability in the game and truly demonstrate its determination to score the second or even third goals with all its might. ”
