Arsenal travel to Birmingham City at the weekend against Aston Villa.

Dongfangchen's old club Birmingham City is still struggling in the Championship, Birmingham will play this week's league game on Thursday, their opponent is Crystal Palace, and now Birmingham's results are okay, ranking seventh in the league, not far from the sixth point of the league, and close to the promotion zone.

In the Championship, the top two teams qualify directly for the Premier League, while third to sixth compete in the promotion play-offs for a third promotion spot.

Birmingham are now close to sixth place in the Championship and have a chance to return to the promotion zone.

Zhang Ningpeng has been very good at Birmingham, sitting firmly in the position of Birmingham's main right-back, so far, he has provided six assists for Birmingham City, scoring two goals, which is very eye-catching.

Moreover, Zhang Ningpeng is very solid defensively, and it is said that some Premier League teams have taken a fancy to the Chinese player, especially those who are very concerned about the Chinese market, and it is said that they have now begun to negotiate with Birmingham.

The current situation of the Birmingham team is very bad, and it is said that the Birmingham team is Xiangjiang. Chairman Yang Jiacheng is suspected of money laundering, and now the police have intervened in the investigation.

It is precisely because of this situation that the results of the Birmingham team are so bad now.

In fact, at the beginning, the results of the Birmingham team were still very good, and even had a chance to hit the top two in the league. But as soon as this problem appeared, Birmingham was in turmoil, and the players' minds were not on playing, so the results were very bad.

It is said that the Arsenal team is also paying attention to Zhang Ningpeng now, and the Arsenal team is also a good full-back.

After Klich left, the Arsenal team has been trying various combinations of full-backs, and Eboue's side is not very good, the main thing is that Manchester City is still seducing Sagna, and Manchester City is trying to lure away both of Arsenal's full-backs.

And Arsène Wenger talked to Dongfang Chen before going to Birmingham.

Arsène Wenger said to Dongfang Chen in his office: "Dongfang, do you know anything about Zhang Ningpeng in Birmingham? You are teammates in the national team. ”

Hearing this inquiry, Dongfang Chen was slightly stunned, he really didn't expect Arsène Wenger to ask him about Zhang Ningpeng's news, could it be that the outside world is true, and the Arsenal team also took a fancy to Zhang Ningpeng?

Dongfang Chen looked up at Arsène Wenger and asked suspiciously, "Is what the outside world said true?" We're chasing the Roc too? ”

Arsène Wenger looked incomprehensible and asked, "Da Bang?" ”

Dongfang Chen smiled and said: "Dapeng is Zhang Ningpeng, this is his nickname, we all call him Dapeng." ”

Arsène Wenger immediately showed the same expression, and then he asked: "It seems that you know him well." So what do you think of Da Bang? ”

Dongfang Chen really doesn't know what to say, Zhang Ningpeng has strength and potential, but he really doesn't know if Zhang Ningpeng can adapt to the Arsenal team, and he doesn't know what Zhang Ningpeng will be like when he comes to the Arsenal team?

Dongfang Chen thought for a moment and said: "Dapeng's body is very good, the impact is very strong, and the defense is also stable. Of course, his dribbling is still a bit rough and his crosses are not particularly accurate, but he is still young and has a lot of potential. ”

Arsène Wenger nodded as he listened, he agreed with Dongfang Chen's evaluation of Zhang Ningpeng.

In fact, the scouts of the Arsenal team have been keeping an eye on Zhang Ningpeng, and these things have been handed to Arsène Wenger's desk by the scouts.

The scout's evaluation is similar to Dongfangchen's.

Arsène Wenger pondered for a moment, and then asked, "What do you think of Da Bang compared to Sun?" ”

Dongfang Chen was slightly stunned: "Sun? ”

"Even!" Dongfang Chen suddenly realized, he said to Arsène Wenger, "You are talking about the former Manchester City's Chinese side is Sun Jihai, Sun? ”

Arsène Wenger nodded: "Yes, what do you think of Da Da compared to Sun?" ”

Dongfang Chen frowned slightly, there is really no comparison between these two people, the two are not the same type at all, and Dongfang Chen does not know which of the two is more powerful.

Dongfang Chen said: "These two people are not similar at all, I think Da Bang's body is better, and Sun Jihai's experience and technique are better, well, that's pretty much it." ”

Arsène Wenger nodded and said, "Okay, I got it!" Thank you very much, Dongfang Chen. ”

Dongfang Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, "Professor, you're too polite. ”

After that, Dongfang Chen left Arsène Wenger's office, he really didn't expect Arsène Wenger to pay attention to Zhang Ningpeng, does the Arsenal team really want to introduce Zhang Ningpeng?

Suddenly, Dongfang Chen thought of something? Is Sagna really leaving Arsenal for Manchester City? Like last year's Nasri?

It's no wonder that Sagna's playing time has been getting less and less recently, and it seems that Sagna's departure from Arsenal is a foregone conclusion.

Now it makes sense, why Arsène Wenger should pay attention to Zhang Ningpeng.

Zhang Ningpeng is now doing well in the Championship, and he should not be worth much, he is still young and has potential, isn't that a criterion for Arsène Wenger's recruitment?

If Zhang Ningpeng is playing in the Chinese team, Arsène Wenger will definitely not pay attention to Zhang Ningpeng. After all, Zhang Ningpeng now plays for Birmingham and plays in England.

Zhang Ningpeng has been playing in England for almost a year, playing in the Premier League for half a season and the Championship for half a season. In this year, Zhang Ningpeng has a good table, a good table in the Premier League, and a better table in the Championship.

It's no wonder Arsène Wenger is keeping an eye on Zhang Ningpeng.

And in addition to the Arsenal team paying attention to Zhang Ningpeng, it is said that Manchester City, Norwich City and Stoke City are also paying attention to Zhang Ningpeng, many teams in the second half of the Premier League are paying attention to Zhang Ningpeng, and of course, the top two teams in the Championship are paying attention to Zhang Ningpeng.

They have played against Zhang Ningpeng, they know Zhang Ningpeng better, and after the promotion, they want to take Zhang Ningpeng to the Premier League.

After Dongfang Chen got these news, he immediately called Zhang Ningpeng.

Zhang Ningpeng received a call from Dongfang Chen and immediately said, "Brother Chen, it's you." You have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace? ”

Dongfang Chen immediately said: "Good boy, I'm familiar with England, right, I dare to make fun of your brother and me!" ”

Zhang Ningpeng immediately said: "Hehehe! Just kidding, brother, how dare I? ”

Dongfang Chen snorted and said, "You don't dare to be cold." Well, I won't be poor with you. Let's get down to business! ”

Zhang Ningpeng got up sternly and said, "Brother Chen, what's the matter?" ”

Dongfang Chen said: "Of course it's a good thing! Good luck is here for you, kid! ”

Zhang Ningpeng immediately said: "Brother Chen, don't make fun of me, the situation of our team is very bad now, where is there any good luck!" ”

Dongfang Chen didn't go around in circles, and said directly: "I'll say it directly, you kid is lucky." We, Arsenal and Manchester City, are keeping an eye on you, and you've been tightening my skin lately, and it's good for you. ”

Zhang Ningpeng's exclamation was immediately heard on the phone: "Ah! Are you sure? Brother Chen! You didn't lie to me? ”

Dongfang Chen said: "What's the benefit of me lying to you? The professor just came to me and talked about your problem. The team is watching you now, you kid have to work hard, take a good look. ”

Zhang Ningpeng was very excited on the phone, and even his breath was short: "Got it, Brother Chen." I'm not going to disgrace you. ”

Dongfang Chen immediately said: "Don't! You don't play for me, you kid take a good look. If you want to lose face, you will also lose your own face, and it has nothing to do with my half a dime. ”

Zhang Ningpi immediately cried and said with a sad face: "Ah! Brother Chen, can't you abandon me! ”

Dongfang Chen smiled and said, "Okay, don't be poor for you." It's better to do your best and work hard. Otherwise, a qiē is all empty. ”

Zhang Ningpeng immediately stood up sternly and said, "Okay, Brother Chen, I know." ”

Dongfang Chen immediately said: "Okay, let's do it first, and other things, when I get to Birmingham, let's meet and talk." ”

Zhang Ningpeng immediately said: "Okay, Brother Chen, you are busy first, I am waiting for you in Birmingham!" ”

Dongfang Chen nodded and said, "Okay, bye-bye!" ”

After Zhang Ningpeng got the notice, he was holding back a lot of energy in his heart, and he was full of energy in Thursday's league. Zhang Ningpeng is like playing chicken blood, and he performs very well on the court, very hard, and very eye-catching.

However, the rest of the players in the Birmingham team were affected by the money laundering of chairman Yang Jiacheng, and none of them paid attention to the game, and the Birmingham team as a whole played very stinky.

However, Zhang Ningpeng did not give up, and his positive performance won the applause of all Birmingham fans.

In this game, Zhang Ningpeng scored a long-range shot, which made the fans of the Birmingham team excited.

However, Zhang Ningpeng's long-range shot still did not save the Birmingham team, who lost 3-1 away to Crystal Palace.

After the defeat, Birmingham City are still in seventh place in the league, but the gap between them and sixth in the league is getting bigger and bigger.

This game is very unhappy for the Birmingham fans, they really can't accept the current performance of the Birmingham players, they are very angry.

However, at this time, Yang Jiacheng's affairs have not yet been clarified, so they can only wait.

Birmingham returned to Birmingham with a sad defeat. At this time, the Arsenal team boarded the train to Birmingham, where they were going to challenge Aston Villa.

Aston Villa's results are not very good at the moment, and they don't have the sharpness of the previous two seasons. They are now 10th in the Premier League and have become a mid-league team. But even so, Arsenal still dare not underestimate the Aston Villa team.

Aston Villa still have some fighting ability and Arsenal have to be cautious.

After coming to Birmingham, Dongfang Chen did not immediately go to Zhang Ningpeng and other old friends, they had to wait for the end of this game to find these, and now they are all based on the game.

In this game, Dongfang Chen naturally appeared in the starting list, and the current game is very important for the Arsenal team, and they must win this game.

At the beginning of the game, the Arsenal team showed confidence in winning, in the twenty-fourth minute of the first half, the Arsenal team scored, the goal was Dongfang Chen, Dongfang Chen scored with a header in the penalty area, which was also the only goal of the game, Arsenal won 1-0 against Aston Villa.
