The old professor Arsene Wenger had his last game at the Arsenal, away to Huddersfield. After a back-and-forth battle between the two sides, Aubameyang scored the only goal of the match in the 38th minute to send Wenger off with a victory. When we look back at the list of players who played in this farewell party, we realize that

Only two players remain on the starting roster of

Other first-teamers such as Aubameyang, Lacazette, Ramsey and Bellerin have all slowly left the Gunners' family over the years. The only players left behind were Hodin, who was regarded as a gifted defender at the time, and the protagonist of this article, the much-anticipated midfielder - Zaca.

Captain Zaka is one of the few first team players who has stayed with the club from the Wenger era until the Tahs era. He should have been the pillar of the team and the fans for seven years, but on October 29, 2019 against Crystal Palace, he was constantly harassed by fans, resulting in the replacement of the field when the emotional outburst with provocative gestures in response to booing fans, and finally came off the field and immediately took off the shirt of the action directly to their own and the fans of the antagonism. All these problems and criticisms made him want to leave at one time

Fortunately, the addition of Arteta made Zaka, who was just shy of signing, decide to stay in the

. After four years of baptism, let him from being the object of the gun fans crusade to now have the gun fans homemade letter of apology for their own rudeness to admit fault. In addition to Zaca's own professional integrity is recognized, there is also the same thing we need to pay attention to is, in the end, Zaca in the Emery era and Arteta era has changed how to make him in eight games, two goals and three assists, such data has been scheduled to exceed the single-season goals and assists record three seasons ago.
This article will dissect exactly how Zacha has changed in four years to allow him to be in the

In the summer of 2021, the one-year delayed Europa League showed many exciting matches. In addition to watching the youngsters during the month-long tournament, one player caught my attention: our own Zaka. Looking back at his performance in the Europa League, I would describe him as a "one-trick pony", and it was due to his excellent performance that Switzerland was not completely outclassed in the highly competitive group stage. Apart from the loss to Italy, who had the best of luck, the matches against Turkey and Wales were all equal in strength. The highlight of the tournament, however, was the penalty shootout in the round of sixteen, which allowed the Swiss to take the lead in the second leg of the tournament.

France, the champion of the tournament, went home in disgrace. In the last eight, the Swiss players fought back against Spain's onslaught until the penalty shootout, when Switzerland lost to Spain.

His aggressive running up front, planning attacks and threatening the goal with long range shots from time to time, allowed Switzerland to create many threats to France and Spain in the knockout stage, and with enough luck, Switzerland might have a chance to make it to the final.

After watching the Europa League in the Blue Cannonball, it seems like this might be the most comfortable way for Zaca to go. Early Zaka joins

Most of the time, we see teams wanting him to be a wall in front of the defense, to be the next Vieira. Unfortunately, defense was never his strongest suit, and with his maniacal personality, he was always getting "more attention" from the referees on the field. The real opportunity for change came when Arteta took charge.

After that, the first important reinforcement plan was Thomas from Atletico Club.
The addition of this substantial beast was the catalyst that freed up Zaca. The combination of Zaka and Odego already had good chemistry last year when the midfield was set for Thomas, and this season it has blossomed even more. Here's a blow-by-blow analysis of how Zaca's change in progression stats over the course of four years has contributed to his ascension this season.
According to this season's formation, the Tahs are based on a 4-2-3-1, where the midfielders are arranged as a double midfielder with Zaka paired with either Lokonka or Thomas, followed by Martinelli and Saka on the wings, and Özgürgün in the final forward position. In the configuration of the midfield, the responsibility of the back waist to mainly perform defensive tasks is placed on Thomas, while the extent of Zaca's involvement is mostly in the midfield position, more to pressure the opponent and interfere with the opponent to move forward. However, looking back to the Emery era, although the same 4-2-3-1 based, but the double midfield position is Zaka with Gondozzi or Torreira, although it seems that Zaka's partner is to steal and toughness as the main skills and characteristics, but in fact, Zaka's participation in the defense to a far greater extent than we imagine.
