Volume 3 The Myth of the Gunslinger Chapter 235 The First Crown of the New Season (Part I)
Volume 3: The Gunslinger Myth First Crown (Part I)
Arsenal's first warm-up game was a 3-0 win over Storm Graz, Austria, and then a 5-1 sweep of Neukheed 1919 in Austria.
First of all, negotiations to bring in Arshavin have not been negotiated, and Hoffenheim are asking for 25 million euros, which is too high for a player who has reached the age of 29. Even if the boss Kroenke had money, he would not take such a risky investment. Arsene Wenger himself is a shrewd operator who has not fulfilled Hoffenheim's excessive demands and is now in intense talks with Hoffenheim.
In addition to Arshavin's transfer, rumors about Cesc Fabregas' return to his old club Barcelona next season are also rising wave after wave, pro-Barcelona media have now seen Fabregas as a Catalan, "World Sport" said that Fabregas will not return after the end of the vacation, he will stay in Spain directly, and Barcelona gave a transfer fee of 35 million pounds.
Arsene Wenger has been annoyed by the Spanish media's rhetoric, and the Frenchman is looking to build a Gunners dynasty with a full squad of players, and Barça's behaviour is simply cutting the corner of Wenger's edifice that has not yet been built.
During the match against Neuheed 1919 on the 28th, Arsenal fans displayed anti-Barcelona banners at the stadium in solidarity with the club's stance of not selling small laws. Arsene Wenger responded: "There's a lot of talk that doesn't need to be talked about and it's not going to be nice to see it every day. Now, the story has to stop. Sesk is our captain and he is very important to us and we want to keep him and that's why we don't want to hear any offers at all. It's not a question of money, it's the club's desire to keep him. I really hope he stays. We've been developing young players like them and hopefully they'll always be playing for the club. I've spoken to Cesc Fabregas on the phone, but I can't reveal what the conversation is about, and I hope this is the end of the conversation. ”
According to the "Daily Mail", Fabregas was supposed to return to the team at the end of July and Milan's Emirates Cup match, but now it seems that Fabregas is unlikely to come back before the Emirates Cup, because Sesc is still traveling in the United States, the reporter revealed, "Now Professor Wenger has given Fabregas an ultimatum, the Emirates Cup at the end of July does not need him to participate, but he must return before August 2, and he will be arranged to come off the bench in the warm-up match with Warsaw Likia on August 5, For the Community Shield on 8 August, Cesc Fabregas must play. ”
The Daily Mail news was published and the Fabregas transfer became nervous immediately, and although Arsenal did not open talks with Barcelona, fans and reporters agreed that if Fabregas did not return to London at the stipulated time in Arsene Wenger, it was basically certain that the Spaniard would not return.
Whether Cesc Fabregas will return to London on August 2 will be key to the Spaniard's transfer or not. On the issue of Cesc Fabregas's transfer, the British media and Arsenal fans are now split into two factions.
One faction thinks that Fabregas's ambiguous attitude is disloyal to Arsenal, and keeping him is also a hidden danger, and now Arsenal has such a big killer weapon as Li Huan, even if Fabregas leaves, it will not make Arsenal hurt, not to mention that the money from selling Fabregas can buy Arshavin, so that Arsenal's strength is not lost, and it has also received about 15 million pounds in income (the media and reporters estimate Arshavin's transfer fee at 20 million pounds).
The other faction believes that even if Arshavin comes, it cannot replace Fabregas's organizational role, Arshavin is mainly a midfield assault, not an organization, in the case of Li Huan's assault, Fabregas's central connection is very important, and Fabregas has been at Arsenal for six years, and his impact on Arsenal is not limited to helping the team.
The two factions were at loggerheads, but Arsenal's warm-up match was still held at the scheduled time.
On July 31, the annual Emirates Cup kicked off again at the Emirates Stadium, this time Arsenal invited A Milan, who is second only to Real Madrid in the history of European football, Lyon, the old hegemon of Ligue 1, and Celtic, the old hegemon of Scotland. Among them, the battle between Arsenal and A Milan has attracted the attention of fans all over the world, and they are also the biggest opponents that Arsenal has encountered in the warm-up game this season.
The game takes place at 4 p.m. on July 31.
Due to the previous 2:2 draw between Lyon and Celtic, Arsenal can beat A Milan, the Emirates Cup will have a great certainty, although the Emirates Cup is only a warm-up competition, but the Emirates Cup is held on Arsenal's own turf, Arsenal of course does not want the championship trophy to be taken by outsiders. In addition, Arsenal also have the UEFA Super Cup, Club World Cup, and Community Shield to play this year, and if they are lucky, they may be able to win the unprecedented six crowns, and if there is one less Emirates Cup, there will only be five crowns.
A Milan will not forget that in the Champions League 2 years ago, they were eliminated by Arsenal, and missed the Champions League 1/4 finals for the first time in 5 years, which also led to the collapse of A Milan, which won the Champions League for the second time in this century, and never regained its former glory, so this game once again encountered a rival, A Milan also looked forward to winning at Arsenal's home stadium to avenge the 0-2 defeat at home that year.
In this game, both sides did their best for their own purposes and training teams, and discharged an offensive formation of 433, almost a real PK with the opponent.
Arsenal's line-up is: 1-Almunia/22-Klich, 6-Koscielny, 5-Vermaelen, 13-Li Huan/19-Wilshere, 8-Nasri, 27-Eboue/11-Bella, 29-Chamak, 14-Walcott
A Milan's starting lineup is: 1-Abbiati/42-Papastathopoulos, 13-Nesta, 76-Jepes, 77-Antonini/8-Gattuso, 10-Seedorf, 21-Pirlo/88-Ronaldinho, 22-Borriello, 7-Pato
The young Arsenal have just won the Champions League and the league double, and the two warm-up games have been hearty, hardly giving the opponent a chance to win, and now they are not afraid to face the old powerhouse A Milan, and after the game started, Arsenal took the lead in launching a fierce attack on A Milan.
The new signing Chamak showed great courage, he gave full play to his positive running characteristics, and carried out a crazy rush on A Milan in the front court, Walcott and Vela are both young, energetic, and aggressive, when the team attacked, they ran more happily than anyone else, and when the team defended, they were not energetic again. The newcomer's running so aggressively directly stimulated Walcoat and Bella, who together with Chamak, went on a frantic rush against A Milan.
A Milan is a control team, before Barcelona did not rise, they were the best control team in the world, as strong as the Red Devils Manchester United, when A Milan did not go downhill, they have been restrained by A Milan, and they have no chance to fight to the death in the game.
But now A Milan has become an aging classic car, Nesta, Seedorf, Yepes are 34 years old, Pirlo is 31 years old, Gattuso is 32 years old, Ronaldinho is 30 years old, when 6 of the starting 11 of a team are over 30 years old, it becomes a luxury to want this team to run. They can only use passing and receiving to mobilize their opponents, and passing and receiving the ball instead of running. However, the speed of passing and receiving without running is slow, and it is difficult to get rid of the entanglement of the opponent. At the beginning of the game, A Milan was still able to pass the ball calmly, and as soon as ten minutes passed, the game became the world of Arsenal people, and the entire Emirates Stadium was the shadow of the red Arsenal players, and the white of A Milan almost turned into a few waves churning in the sea.
Before the game, the duel between the stadium magician Xiao Luo and Xiao Li Feidao Li Huan was the focus of the game, but after the game started, fans found that the gap between Xiao Luo and Li Huan, who had a belly, was so big. Xiao Luo, who is the left winger, is still coquettish, the sacred cow swings its tail, the sound is east and west, and the unbelievable shaking, Xiao Luo's stunt is still there, but Xiao Luo has no original speed, even if he can deceive Li Huan for a while, he can't get rid of Li Huan, Li Huan uses his speed and body to eat Xiao Luo to death, Xiao Luo can only pass back frequently, looking very helpless, which makes all fans who have experienced Xiao Luo's era feel sad.
"The magicians of the past have finally become a thing of the past, Xiao Luo, who is just 30 years old, has now gone far downhill, he doesn't even hope to rise again like Qi Dan, his body is too poor, he can only watch Li Huan use his body and speed to bully him again and again."
Arsenal's commentator said with both pride and emotion.
This Arsenal and A beautiful warm-up match was also broadcast live on some cable TV stations in China, seeing Li Huan guarding Xiao Luo to the death like an iron wall on the side, Duan Xuan said: "Xiao Luo's consciousness is still there, but there is no body, so technology and consciousness have no roots and no source of water." The so-called heroes since ancient times are like beauties, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world. ”
In the 20th minute of the game, Arsenal, who were frantically pressing, finally found a great opportunity, and Li Huan stole Xiao Luo who wanted to use his ox tail again in the midfield. Then move forward quickly.
Xiao Luo wanted to block Li Huan's way after being robbed by Li Huan, but Xiao Luo's center of gravity was unstable and was run over by Li Huan like a tank, Xiao Luo raised his hands to signal Li Huan to foul, but the referee ignored it.
Li Huan drove straight into the 20-meter attack with the ball, Antonini wanted to step forward to intercept, but Li Huan bullied the old man and became addicted, a pendulum swing, and then accelerated, directly shaking Antonini to a stumble, and then it was completely impossible to follow, in fact, even if Antonini didn't eat this feint, it was impossible to keep up with Li Huan.
Li Huan shook off the left-back, attracted the centre-back Nesta, and then cut inside quickly and shot hard.
Abbiati was ready to save, but still couldn't block Li Huan's powerful shot, and the ball hit the post and flew straight to the bottom of the net.
The fourth goal, the momentum of last season's crazy goals is still not weakening.
Although the fans often saw Li Huan running long distances, Li Huan's long-distance attack on A Milan still made more than 60,000 fans in the audience stand up and applaud him.
“…… Li Huan Li Huan steals Xiao Luo Li Huan past Antonini Li Huan and draws the most dangerous Nesta out of the penalty area, and he shoots the goal...... GALGALGAL…… Li Huan stepped on Xiao Luo's shoulder to complete a long-distance run, which is the new king of the world surpassing the old king, and this is the new European hegemon Arsenal demonstrating to the old hegemon A Milan. ”
"Arsenal invited the Emirates Cup this time are all outdated hegemons, A Milan is a seven-time Champions League winner, is the king of Europe, Lyon has won six consecutive Ligue 1 titles, is a well-deserved hegemon of Ligue 1, Celtic is also one of the old hegemons of Scotland, but now, they have fallen into a trough, and the new European Champions League winners who have just risen from the bottom to the top of the valley invite them meaningfully, maybe they are proving to fans all over the world that a new era is coming, and the era of European Gunners has begun."
Milan were very sophisticated, they didn't panic the slightest after conceding the goal, and still controlled the ball slowly, hoping to take advantage of Arsenal's mistake to equalise.
But today's A Milan made a mistake, and Arsenal became even more crazy after the goal, and their pressing almost turned the controlling A Milan into a Premier League team with long passes.
Less than 10 minutes after the first goal, new foreign signing Chamak found another opportunity in the edge of the box, intercepting a pass between Gattuso and Seedorf in front of the box, and then tried to quickly cut into the box, only to be dragged by Seedorf from behind.
Arsenal were given a free-kick and Seedorf was shown a yellow card.
Li Huan lived up to the free kick created by Chamak. His powerful volley from 23 metres made goalkeeper Abbiati even skip the save.
2:0, Arsenal expanded the score again, Li Huan scored twice, and also scored his fifth goal in the pre-season warm-up game.
The fans at the scene gave Li Huan a standing ovation again, this goal basically helped Arsenal seal the win, no matter how strong Milan is, it will be difficult for them to please the crazy Gunners.
