How Arsenal can become champions again By SK
It is a new week folks! I am sure we are all happy going into another week of hustling and struggling, partly because our darling Arsenal won a game by a great margin over the weekend. It has been a while we saw such a wide goal margin from our team. Can we even remember when last we won a game? Nevertheless, we are relieved that Arsenal showed us they still knew how to score goals.
Winning leads to happiness and happiness is what every Arsenal fan wants for this great team; I am sure nobody was happy watching us lose games scandalously to fellow big teams. However, what everybody will be praying for is for us to maintain the winning streak and also beat the big teams in the process. So, what can Arsenal do to become Champions again? Well, my theories may be not totally proven to work but at least, I am allowed to chip in a few words of advice, right? So, here we go….
The first step to be taken if any team wants to be a champion is to hire and maintain the service of a coach who knows what it takes to be a title winning coach. Teams, who have won trophies in the past, always had a coach who knew how to make them play to win. Real Madrid, Chelsea or even Juventus, have constantly been winning trophies because they had coaches with a winning mentality. Arsene Wenger has paid his dues in the game of football; he has won several trophies for the club but as of now, he seems to have lost the Midas touch. The board needs to relieve him of his job and go for a title winning coach, or else risk not winning trophies for many years to come.
The second step is to recruit the right players to make you a champion. It is no hidden secret that Arsenal football club is a club with a lot of average and below average players! With the exemption of Sanchez, Ozil, Koscielny and probably Cech, every other player in the Arsenal set up right now, are not the right players Arsenal needs to win trophies. After recruiting the right coach for the team, the next sensible thing to do, will be to get rid of the wrong set of players and recruit the right set of players.
The right form of Motivation, which is the third step, is also crucial in shaping a team into a title winning team. Football today has been highly commercialized and nothing can be done about that for now! If the truth must be told, Arsenal needs to improve on its wage structure. Not paying your players wages that their counterparts earn in other clubs, is a sure way of losing them to other clubs. If it means paying your players wages to motivate them, then do it and do it fast and let us start by paying Sanchez and Ozil their worth. Another way of motivating your players to put in their best is to provide them with good training facilities and the best medical care available. When you have all these in place, I don’t see any reason why a footballer will not put in his best.
These are just some of the ways I feel we can turn Arsenal to title contenders every other season. If you have other changes you feel can be done, why not share them with us, will you?
