In this evocative photograph taken by David Price during the pre-season friendly match between Benfica and Arsenal in 2011, Ryo Miyaichi of Arsenal is seen applauding the enthusiastic Arsenal fans in Estadio da Luz, Lisbon, Portugal. The image captures the excitement and passion of the Arsenal supporters, who had traveled great distances to cheer on their team in the off-season. The previous season, Arsenal had finished third in the English Premier League, missing out on a coveted Champions League spot. This pre-season friendly against Benfica was an opportunity for the team to prepare for the upcoming season and to gauge their progress against top European competition. Miyaichi, a young and promising Japanese winger, had joined Arsenal in January 2011 and was making his mark on the team. As the final whistle blew, signaling the end of the match, Miyaichi took a moment to acknowledge the appreciation of the Arsenal faithful. With a broad smile on his face and both hands raised in a clapping motion, he expressed his gratitude for their unwavering support. The image encapsulates the special bond between the players and fans, and the shared sense of pride and commitment to the Arsenal cause. The photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of the pre-season, not only as a time for teams to fine-tune their skills and tactics, but also as an opportunity for fans to reconnect with their team and build anticipation for the upcoming season. This powerful image of Ryo Miyaichi applauding the Arsenal fans in Lisbon remains a cherished moment in the club's history.
