EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken by Stuart MacFarlane for Arsenal Football Club, Brazilian winger Willian is captured in deep concentration as he plays for Arsenal against Sheffield United during the 2020-21 Premier League season. The image was taken at Emirates Stadium in London, England, on October 4, 2020. However, unlike the usual electric atmosphere that fills the stadium during matches, Emirates was eerily empty due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Government social distancing laws prohibited fans from attending games, leaving the stadiums empty and silent. The absence of the roaring crowds, chants, and camaraderie between supporters created an unusual backdrop for the players, who were adapting to the new normal of playing behind closed doors. Willian, who joined Arsenal as a free agent during the summer transfer window, is seen here in his Arsenal jersey, his focus unwavering as he prepares to take on Sheffield United's defense. The empty stands add an almost surreal quality to the scene, highlighting the unique challenges that the football community has faced during these unprecedented times. Despite the circumstances, the players have continued to put in their best efforts on the pitch, maintaining the spirit and passion of the game. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the resilience and adaptability of football in the face of adversity, with Willian's determined expression symbolizing the unwavering commitment of the players to their sport and their teams.
