For at least the past month and a half, the honor should go to Arsenal.

Since the North London derby lost to Tottenham on July 12, the Gunners have become unstoppable, beating Liverpool in the Premier League and defeating Manchester City and Chelsea in the FA Cup to save the season with a title.

The "Thermal Cup" has become the "Pagoda Cup", and even if the team has the worst record in the Premier League in the 21st century, the fans will not be so upset.

Now, with the start of the outpost of the new season, Arsenal have once again proved their identity as the king of the Premier League. Arteta's team fought a penalty shootout in the Community Shield against Liverpool, which dominated the Premier League last season. And finally The Smiling、Proud Wanderer.

Winning two consecutive cup titles in a month, at least for a period of time, "we Arsenal are invincible" is no longer just a stem.

The Community Shield has always been seen as a warm-up for the start of the Premiership season, against last season's Premiership champions and FA Cup champions. in other words, it is equivalent to the Super Cup of other leagues, a direct confrontation between the league and the cup champions.

The winner of the Community Shield Cup will receive a "shield" that symbolizes the champion, so in a sense, the Community Shield Cup is not a cup game, but a "shield race".

Although it is far less gold than the Premier League, or even the FA Cup and the Carling Cup, the Community Shield is still a recognized important cup, which began in 1908 and now has a history of 1908, except for a brief suspension due to the two world wars. There has never been a "absence" in history.

As with the FA Cup final, except in special circumstances, the Community Shield is held at Wembley Stadium in London, which is known to be a blessed place for Arsenal.

Compared with Liverpool's successive Champions League and Premier League victories over the past two seasons, Arsenal have had a difficult time in recent years. Since the 17th season in 2016, the former four demons have failed to reach the Champions League for three consecutive seasons. Last season, the Gunners changed coach halfway to finish eighth in the Premier League, and if they were not saved in the FA Cup, they could not even qualify for the Europa League.

Therefore, from a war point of view, the wandering Arsenal is obviously stronger.

In this game, the two sides basically sent their main forces to play, with all three Red Arrows from Manet, Fermino and Salah on the Liverpool side, while Arsenal had Obamayan and Zaka in the front court, while David Louis, who completed the contract renewal, defended the backcourt. Compared with the FA Cup final, Lacazette, who has recently been mired in transfer rumours, did not appear, replaced by Enketia.

If you look at the strength of paper alone, Liverpool will undoubtedly be better.

Of course, football has never been a sport that can judge the result because of its absolute strength. Arsenal showed their desire to win and tenacity from the very beginning.

In the 7th minute, Dijk scored a goal for Liverpool, but was ruled invalid because of offside. Only five minutes later, Obameyan returned the color with a shocking goal-he saw the ball on the left moving towards the penalty area, curved bow and arrow to make a wonderful arc ball, the ball crossed the delightful track and rushed into the Liverpool goal in an inexplicable manner.

After the goal, Obamayan chose to pay tribute to Devik Bosman, who played the role of Panther. Football is full of warmth at the moment.

After the goal, Arsenal continued to put pressure on Liverpool, Nketia shot twice in a row, and the Reds did not wake up until the second half of the first half and began to become the dominant attacking side of the game.

Manet continued to create threats and the Gunners' defense line felt great pressure.

After a long attack, Klop continued to change players, and as a result, it was substitute Takeshi Nano who scored in the 73rd minute to equalize the score for the Reds.

After that, the two sides attacked and defended each other but did not make any achievements, the final whistle sounded, the score of 1: 1 was fixed, and the game went directly into the penalty shootout.

In order to cope with the 12-yard decisive battle, Shakespeare was specially replaced by 20-year-old Brewster, who had just returned to the team, and the substitution affected the outcome of the game-the third Brewster missed the penalty kick and Arsenal scored all five free throws. the Gunners became the "double champion" of this summer's Premier League Cup in such a dramatic way.

When was the last time Arsenal won the title?

Only 28 days ago!

On August 1, at the new Wembley Stadium, they picked up the FA Cup for the 14th time, more than any other team.

This year's Community Shield is the Gunners' 16th, surpassing Liverpool and second only to Manchester United, which won 21 titles in the tournament.

With this wave of excitement, Arteta has earned himself enough prestige.

After the game, even the British media began to tease the king of jokes-Arsenal and Manchester City have won 2-1 since Arteta left Guardiola.

Of course, this does not mean that the overall strength of the Gunners is above the Blue Moon, as evidenced by the 8th and 2nd league rankings.

However, these two cup champions are also enough to show that the arsenal is indeed making progress, and Tashuai does give gun fans hope.

The loss of the Community Shield is a wake-up call for Liverpool, the Reds' Premier League road will not be as smooth as last season, while Arsenal are full of good news. Arteta has personally accepted that Obameyan, the team's top player, will choose to renew his contract. Cevallos is also hinting at a lease extension, and Gabriel will announce it soon.

This is not really a glorious period for Arsenal, but the spirit in the heart of the team has not disappeared.

At least on this day, gun fans can proudly shout: "Arsenal, is invincible!"
