The new Premier League season is about to rekindle the war. Recently, Arsenal legendary star Henry praised his old club's new player Yorke this summer window. Henry said in his column blog that Arsenal and Yorke can be said to be a "combination of heaven", and the Swedish striker will play a key role in the opponent's penalty area.
■In the pre-season warm-up match with Athletic Bilbao, Yorke scored his Gunners's debut with a powerful header, showing the key abilities that Arsenal legend Henry appreciated.
Henry said: "When facing Bilbao, Yorke's intuition and understanding of predicting the cross, and his keen touching headed the ball to the other side of the goal. He is the real No. 9. Yorke is not Firmino's No. 9 who retreats to the midfield. He wants to stay in the penalty area, between the posts, and he himself said, please pass the ball into the penalty area and feed me."
"You have a killer in the penalty area, his data will not lie, and you have a team that can create a lot of opportunities, so this should be the perfect combination. But you also have to understand that sometimes tacit understanding will not come immediately. You need fans to be patient with him. What's annoying now is that the fans' patience is getting less and less patience. They want players to play immediately and score immediately. , win immediately, and this is not common. "
"I am an Arsenal fan. Of course, I hope he can perform well, score goals for us and lead us to the championship, but he can't do it alone. We have all seen some players score amazing numbers, but the team won nothing. The team must be strong enough overall. Based on his shooting ability I saw, I hope this is really a perfect match and we can finally win the trophy again. But as I said, many teams want to win that trophy."
This summer, Yorke joined the Gunners from Portugal Sports for £64 million, injecting new vitality into Arteta's front line. This season is almost "a success or failure" for Arsenal.
Yorkecres will make his official debut on Sunday, with Manchester United and Arsenal going to Old Trafford to kick off the Premier League championship. They have been runner-up for three consecutive seasons.
