Arsenal, which has been ranked below Manchester City for two consecutive seasons, has vowed to make a comeback this season, and team leader Adidas is full of confidence in this. Faced with the media, he boasted, not only to a new lineup to challenge the "two milk life", but also bluntly said: "As long as I do this, the league title will return to my hand, the new season, the goal of all wins, will be won." Looking back, Arsenal got 84 and 89 points respectively in the past two seasons, steadily improving, and last season even lost to Manchester City by only 2 points. In the four matches between the two sides, Arsenal won 1 and drew 1. Adidas' tactical wisdom is gradually approaching the heights of Guardiola. This season, Arsenal is expected to end City's four-year dominance of the EPL title.
In a bid to boost the squad, Adidas also plan to bring in Barcelona winger Rafinha Bironi. The 27-year-old Brazilian contributed 10 goals and 11 assists in 37 games last season, and his second season at Leeds United was equally impressive, proving his ability to adapt to the Premier League. The Arsenal are interested in recruiting him for a transfer fee of up to £40 million (HK$400 million).
