Finding it difficult to support a NFL side? If you’re an Arsenal fan, this article will help you unearth the reasons you should support New Orleans Saints and be behind them. The comparison of Orleans to North London club will help you ease the process of ‘supporting.’
New Orleans Saints is an American football club that plays in National Football League. NFL is a 17-week long week played amongst 32 top clubs of America (mostly Northern) and the winner of these Championship is what we famously know as Super Bowl. The latest holders of NFL are New England Patriots.
Arsenal has been struggling to find a wall-like defence since the departure of Arsene Wenger; leaving gaps for opposition to break and widen. Of the two important ingredients in football i.e attack and defence, Arsenal is a colossus in one and dwarf in another.
And just like the Gunners, New Orleans Saints lack the defensive facet of American Football. Like Arsenal they have one of the best attacking outfits in NFL and is ranked in top 10 of the league. If Arsenal’s attack is led by rising Pierre-Emerick Aubamayeng, Orleans have future Hall of Famer Drew Brees that leads their charge.
Orleans, like their Premier League face, are worst in defence. They may have improved in recent past, but only slightly. Gaps are still evident in their defence which is still ranked in the last 10 of NFL. The electric attack of both the teams is nullified by their stagnant defence.
Arsenal, we all know have been in contention of winning the title in last 10 years. So has been the New Orleans Saints. But one thing that is stopping both the teams from winning the title is their opaqueness and loop sided balance between attack and defence. If they have the attack of Champions, they falter behind. Both the teams are not able to strike a perfect balance and orchestrate as a whole. “Result – Season without a Title.”
Neither Arsenal nor Orleans have worked out the formula of a decent defence and if they do, it will only be a matter of time that we see them rising and only rising. These two share an incredibly same history and if they overcome their woes, they will share an outstanding time in future.
