In the anticipation of the fans in the stands all around, Newcastle United's home game against Arsenal has officially begun.

Arsenal kicked off with the first wave of attack.

Arsenal's attack gives people the feeling that it is fast-paced, and a few passes from the back to the front court passes, sometimes making the opponent unable to react, and their offensive and defensive transitions are also very fast, constantly speeding up the pace of the game, making very targeted and efficient passes, so that the game enters the environment they are used to, and the front court is more likely to get opportunities.

However, Arsenal did not get into the state quickly, they just carried out a normal wave of advancement, the football also passed a few times in the backfield, and then the midfielder Cesc Fabregas led the halfway line, and then several fast passes in the front court, but did not get the ball into the ideal position, and the football was snatched by Smith when it reached the wing.

Next up is Newcastle United's attack.

When Newcastle United launched an offensive, Zhen Shaolong immediately became the focus, even if he had not touched the ball, the camera lens also frequently pointed to the past, many people soon found that Zhen Shaolong did not stand at the front of the formation as usual and wait for the opportunity, but the position was slightly pulled back, and he continued to run, rushing to the front for a while, and returning to take the initiative to take the ball for a while, running back again without taking the ball, and constantly sprinting back and forth left and right?

"He's helping pull the line?"

"Or is Zhen Shaolong's role in this game to disrupt Arsenal's defense with more running?"

This is not yet certain.

Zhen Shaolong's continuous running does have a certain effect, for example, Xiao Denilson, who is in charge of marking, is miserable.

Denilson Jr. is a Brazilian player who is not yet 21 years old this year, his full name is Denelson Pereira Neves, and the reason why he is called 'Denilson Jr.' is somewhat similar to 'Ronaldo Jr.', because with the more impressive 'Denilson', the new Denilson can only be prefixed with 'Small'.

To some extent, 'small' is also a 'nickname'.

In the summer of 2006, Denilson Jr. joined Arsenal from Sao Paulo for £3.4 million, when Wenger was surprised to sign the 18-year-old because he was too inexperienced, but Wenger admired Denilson's characteristics, calling him "a player between Rosicky and Gilberto" in an interview.

Denilson Jr. has been adapting to Arsenal for two years, making 23 league appearances in total, and he has been more of a midfield addition to the midfield.

With the likes of Flamini, Gilberto and Lassana Diarra all leaving last summer, Denilson was immediately entrusted with the task by Arsene Wenger, and has now missed just one league game and has become the most consistent player in the Arsenal squad.

Although Denilson Jr. has made a lot of appearances, and Wenger has continued to give him opportunities in various positions during his experiments with the '433 formation', his development has not been smooth sailing, for example, Wenger hopes that he can adapt to the midfield position.

That's uncomfortable.

Denilson's type is similar to Cesc Fabregas, both belong to the kind of players who rely on technical strength and passing to eat, and when it comes to defensive ability, he is definitely a little worse, but he trusts Wenger very much and has been trying to adapt.

Now Little Denelson has been entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and his job is to keep an eye on Zhen Shaolong.

It's not a good job.

Experienced team-mates such as Toure and Alexander Song also talked a lot about their experience, and manager Arsene Wenger also encouraged him to do well, "Maybe you can do it. Just because others can't do it doesn't mean you can't do it. You have to give yourself confidence. ”

"I will."

At that time, Denelson Jr. was very firm.

When it came to the game, Denilson Jr. was indeed very active, he continued to chase Zhen Shaolong to defend, even if the opponent kept running, as if he didn't know the fatigue, the sprint could be completed back and forth continuously, and he tried his best to keep chasing.

"Hold on!"

"He's got a great shot! But the physical fitness is very average! ”

"He can't outrun me!"

Little Denilson kept cheering himself up, and the effect was very good at first, but after running for a while, he found that he was a little naïve.

The opponent doesn't just run when he attacks.

When the ball was at Arsenal's feet and attacking towards Newcastle United, the opposition also ran in front of them, sometimes dropping back a little, pressing with constant running, and Denilson Jr. was asked to do, "Always follow at all times!" Even if we attack, we must be by his side......"

"That's right, you can't be careless!"

When the coach and teammates talked about the requirements and kept encouraging him, Denilson Jr. didn't feel anything, just consumed more physical energy and kept following the other party, but the game only lasted for ten minutes, and he was already tired and out of breath, and couldn't help but think depressedly, "Didn't you say that he didn't run much?" ”

"What's going on now?"

Little Denilson pressed his knees with his hands, panting for a while, looking at the figure running continuously in front of him, he still gritted his teeth and chased after him.

Off-site.

Many people are talking about Zhen Shaolong's performance.

Zhen Shaolong is the biggest focus of the game, no player can compare with it, even when he doesn't get the ball, the appearance rate is very high, and his abnormal continuous running has caused a heated discussion.

The game commentator laughed and said, "It seems that Zhen Shaolong is very energetic today!" He's running much more aggressively than before! ”

"He seems to be running all the time, and he doesn't know that he is tired!"

"We can pay more attention to Denelson Jr. If you just look at Zhen Shaolong, it won't feel so obvious, Xiao Denelson has been following Zhen Shaolong, he probably wants to keep an eye on the defense, but he seems to be a little unable to catch up. ”

The camera was given to Denelson Jr., only to see that he was once again left several meters behind, almost with his scalp stuffy and continuing to chase.

"Denilson Jr. is a good player, who has made the most league appearances in the Arsenal squad this season, but let him defend Zhen Shaolong...... I don't know what Arsene Wenger is thinking about......"

Arsene Wenger's consideration is to experience the players.

Yes.

Arsene Wenger is very interested in Denilson, but he will not develop Denilson Jr. into Cesc Fabregas, or other players who are more extreme in attack, because Arsenal do not lack attacking talent, but need a defender who is tough and well-rounded.

Little Denilson's offense is no problem, but the defense is relatively poor, so it is definitely a good experience for him to keep an eye on Zhen Shaolong.

Arsene Wenger did so for a reason.

Last season, Arsenal and Newcastle United played, Toure, Alexander Song and other defenders, Zhen Shaolong's defense was not successful, no, it should be said that it was a complete failure, even if the main defender's defense may not be effective, it is better to let Denilson Jr. try, there is no effect can also train the players, there is no effect is definitely an accident.

Now seeing Zhen Shaolong's continuous running, Denilson Jr. couldn't keep up a little, but Wenger felt a little happy, mainly for Zhen Shaolong, because Denilson's physical fitness, he was still very clear, "Maybe it's too excited!" ”

"I'm very excited, so I'm working hard, and I'm running continuously at any cost, but most of them have done useless work, and my physical energy is consumed in vain!"

"It's good to have a lot of motivation in the game, he shouldn't be letting go, he's going to work hard to perform, and you want me to see how good he is?" Arsene Wenger thought amusedly, "He doesn't have to do it at all, the whole world knows how good he is." Now do it big...... The physical energy will be depleted early......"

Arsene Wenger did not approve of Zhen Shaolong's approach, but he had a relaxed, expectant smile on his face, because it was a match between Newcastle United and Arsenal.

Zhen Shaolong's rapid physical depletion is good news.

If you can't get to the second half, the opponent will go off the field because they are too tired, and the game will be much easier.

"There is a chance or more encouragement and encouragement......"

"Yes!"

"The next time he looks at it, he'll keep giving it a thumbs up!"

"What encouragement! Let him know that I approve of him, and he will work harder in the game, preferably running faster and exerting his energy faster...... It's best to not be able to run at all, so you can only go off the game early. ”

"No way!"

"No matter how much you adore me, no matter how much you want to join my team, but now we are rivals...... What a naïve young man! ”

Arsene Wenger smiled again.

on the field.

When Newcastle United controlled the ball, Zhen Shaolong continued to run, his running was not a waste of physical energy, and the effect was still very obvious.

For example, he has already had two shots on goal.

Although the chances of two shots on goal were not very good, and they were not able to score directly, they could have two shots in ten minutes, and the relative frequency was still very high, which made the Arsenal defense have a sense of crisis.

This is the reason for the defensive set-up.

Arsenal's defensive arrangement for Zhen Shaolong will definitely be related to him, most of Zhen Shaolong's goals are completed near the penalty area line or in front of the goal, and the threat created by receiving the ball on the periphery is not great, and it is enough to have a player to mark the defense closely.

That's what Denelson Jr. did.

If Zhen Shaolong rushes to the vicinity of the penalty area or in the penalty area, the two central defenders, Alexander Song and Toure, will pay attention, and other players who retreat to defend will also take the initiative to help defend.

Arsenal's defensive arrangement is mainly aimed at threatening points, rather than closely marking the whole field, which will involve too much energy, and the overall attack and defense will be affected.

Now Zhen Shaolong's continuous running makes it impossible for Denelson Jr. to keep up with the restrictions, which is beyond Arsenal's defensive arrangement.

It became easy for Zhen Shaolong to get a chance.

In the seventeenth minute of the game, Zhen Shaolong shifted sharply from the right side and sprinted to the left side to receive a pass from Enzobia.

Denilson was thrown seven or eight meters away.

Arshavin wanted to run over to make up for the defense, but Zhen Shaolong had already run with the ball, looking at the explosiveness and speed, his physical fitness was not affected at all.

More than five meters away from the penalty area line and twenty-five meters away from the goal, Zhen Shaolong got up again to shoot.

"Bang!"

The ball arcs through the air and goes straight to the top right corner of the goal.

It was the third shot on goal!

The previous two times Almunia performed well and successfully sealed the ball, but this time Almunia failed to continue to be steady, his position was slightly forward, and when Zhen Shaolong shot and retreated, he found that it was too late.

The football crashed straight into the goal.

“Gooooooooooal！！！” The background of the game commentator shouting the goal was the cheers of the surrounding stands.

"Zhen Shaolong! A long shot! ”

"This goal is very clean and neat, Arsenal's defense is a little negligent, but it is probably related to Zhen Shaolong's active running, Denilson Jr. can't catch up with him at all, and Arshavin on the other side has no time to do anything."

"1-0, Zhen Shaolong helped Newcastle take the lead."

"Something happened before the game, Zhen Shaolong responded to Wenger's words, and some reports even understood that Zhen Shaolong would release water in the game? That was obviously gibberish, and even malicious slander, so far we have only seen Zhen Shaolong's positivity. ”

"He's been running, he's been fighting, he's even been involved defensively, and so far in the game, I'm sure there's no one on the pitch more active than him!"

"In less than twenty minutes, the first goal was scored!"

"Now that the game has been carried out, at least Newcastle fans don't have to worry about what will be wrong with Zhen Shaolong's performance!"

on the field.

Zhen Shaolong rushed to the sideline 'very excited', and after hugging and celebrating with Enzobia next to him, he seemed to be still in excitement, so he walked back along the sideline, while constantly waving his hands vigorously, as if greeting the fans in the stands.

The fans also cheered in response.

process.

Zhen Shaolong 'happened to walk past Arsenal's coaching bench and looked at the head coach Arsene Wenger, his face continued to remain excited, and in Wenger's eyes, it seemed to have become 'seeking recognition'.

Arsene Wenger consciously understood the meaning, suppressed the frustration of being scored, and responded with a gentle smile, showing the image of Bole who 'appreciates young talents'.

The two looked at each other for ten seconds.

Zhen Shaolong even deliberately slowed down to delay time, until the system prompt sounded in his ears again, he quickly shouted and waved to the fans, and then turned around and clapped with other teammates to celebrate, but it didn't seem to be excited?

Arsene Wenger is very relieved and looking forward to it.

Looking at the back of Zhen Shaolong celebrating leaving, he smiled sincerely, "Although he scored a goal, it was also expected, and it was impossible to ask him not to perform." ”

"But his performance did suffer...... With continuous running, Pereira (Denilson Jr.) has somewhat followed. He shouldn't be as fit as Andreas Pereira, and the reason why he can keep playing like that is definitely because it's with Arsenal and with my team......"

"He won't last long!"

"It would have been better if it had been substituted in the first half, otherwise it would have ...... In the rest of the time, it's good to not be able to run, no matter what, as long as you don't score again......"8)
