Why did Arsenal sign Kepa?
There has been some change in the Arsenal approach for squad-building in recent windows. Arteta once suggested that he would prefer to work with a small group of elite players, but late he has seen to add depth to the entire group. Raya has not been rotated. Arsenal played 58 matches in all competitions last season and Spain International played in 55 of them. Teenager Jack porter EFL Cup started against Bolton Wanderers in the third round, Tommy setford The EFL Cup was played against Preston North End in the fourth round and Neto’s only attendance for the club was one. UEFA Champions League Rubber compared to Fall In January.
However, during the Presiden Tour for Asia, Arteta’s rhetoric is to underline how injuries have hurt the cost of the arsenal in the last season and talk on the physical demands to try to win on four fronts (Premier League, UEFA Champions League, and both domestic cups). That pressure has inspired the gunars to leave their level of signature of the signature.
“Tier 1 means they have the ability to start basically,” Arteta said this week. “But Tier 1, 2, 3 Systems I no longer believe in it. The way the game develops, the demand we put in 70, 75 games per season.
“Finally we want to build a team, like other clubs already, where you see the squad and you can’t really recognize who is going to play tomorrow. If we reach that point, and that competition has the right level of cooperation between the players, we want this.”
Cepa, 30, had its own inhibitors, but he has a completely different genealogy for Neto, Raya’s previous contestant. As Raya said: “Knowing how the signature is being done, knowing that we have two top players in each situation – this is the way that the boss wants to work and it is how it is.”
How has Raya handle the news?
Talking to ESPN in Singapore, Raya was asked what he was told by Artetta after Kepa’s arrival and especially what he was assured that he was still the number 1 of Arsenal.
“Nothing,” Rai said. “He came only as a new team partner and to add another goalkeeper to the group. The manager has not said anything so we will see what happens.” But doesn’t it put much pressure on him that to get into the world’s most expensive goalkeeper? “No, I think it’s just a healthy relationship,” Raya replied. “We are friends. We are together in the national team and now we are here, so we have this healthy relationship and, let’s say ‘healthy partnership’ in the target. We know how difficult it is to be a goalkeeper. Only one goalkeeper has to play and we will see what happens. It is a boss work and will decide.”
He has been here, of course, first. Ramsdel enjoyed a promising beginning for his arsenal career after joining Gunners in 2021 from Sheffield United. However, within two years, Gunners left for Raya, partially on the recommendation of the goalkeeping coach Enaki Kana, who worked with Raya Brentford,
This was followed by a strange period in which Raya gradually turned Ramsdel as the first choice of arsenal. Arteta’s public message during this period was not particularly clear, and sources told ESPN that Spaniel felt that Raya was incorrectly treated by some supervisors because they started playing more often. Sources say that the coaching staff saw Raya’s distribution and peace as key features, which gave him an edge.
For Raya, the experience can help her this time. “This will help anyone,” Raya said. “Competition in every situation, which increases your level. I will increase my level and it will increase its level. This will only benefit the team. This is the main thing.”
How is Kepa compared to Raya?
Given the data for both goalkeepers from his last two league season, Kepa performed 45 for real Madrid and Bornmouth at that time, while David Raya made 70. Kepa had a slightly higher savings percentage (72.7% to 69.3% to 69.7%) and a better pass percentage (74.1% to 70.7%), which was not done nothing, but it was nothing.
Perhaps the greatest importance, Raya made 11 errors for a shot by an opponent. Kepa made two in a single period. Raya’s figure is the highest of anyone Premier League Goalkeeper in the last two sessions.
What will Arteta do?
Although it can try to draw a meaningful conclusion from the pre-planned penalty shootout at the end of the favorable matches, Cepa would have increased a remarkable confidence by saving three spot kicks as the arsenal lost 6-5 AC Milan Thanks to a goal for winning the actual match 1-0 in Singapore Bukeyo sakaSources say that Arsenal’s coach Kepa’s attitude and have been influenced by the desire to learn; Kappa can be seen telling Kepa to where to put his hand in case of no ball during an open training session two days later.
Arteta said: “Kepa is not far from where I live [in San Sebastián] And when you see him walking through the door, immediately, what do you think? I say, ‘Wow, oh my God. Straight distance, what to work with happiness. ,
Both goalkeepers played 45 minutes against Milan, but it is rational to assume that Raya will start the season as the number 1 of the Arsenal. He has won the Premier League’s Golden Glove Award – Keeper has been given for the last two sessions with the cleanest sheets. Perhaps the arrival of Cepa would also enable Arteta to do something that he had earlier suggested that he was in his mind: replacing goalkeepers.
“I regret something, but one of them is that on two occasions, I realized after two games of 60 minutes and 85 minutes in this period to replace the goalkeeper at that moment,” not a long time after joining Raya, “in September 2023. “I didn’t do this, I did not have the courage to do it. But I am able to take a winger or striker and put a center-back to play a center to hold for a result. We attracted those games, and I was very sad.”
Sources have told ESPN that one of the matches he is referring to is 2-2 draws. Liverpool In April of that year. In his search for the marginal profit required to win the first trophy in five years, the Arteta Golkeeping can expand its innovative thinking.
