Arsenal will face the promoted Leeds United at home in the second round of the Premier League, and Leeds United coach Falk talked about the challenge.
He said: "We will not give up our football philosophy to stay in the Premier League this season. If you just want to stick to the whole game, it is impossible to survive in the Premier League. You must make sure that the team controls as much as possible, restores their strength through ball control, allows the opponent to run and consumes some of their physical fitness.
"It is important to try to create opportunities, give the opponent some shock, and try to play positive football. But we will certainly have difficulties, when we must maintain good structure and compactness.
"The opponents have the highest ambitions and demands, their goal is to compete for every championship, and they are one of the strongest opponents we can meet. We certainly hope this match can be played at other times, but sometimes you have no choice, and this match will be the toughest test we have so far."
