"Arsenal has undergone a major overhaul this season. Among the starting eleven, they include Dutch center back Van Dijk, Portuguese right back Cancelo, Brazilian defensive midfielder Fabinho, and winger Sanchez. , Arsenal sent four new players.”
In the commentary box.
Commentators from each station were already in place.
Andy Gray, the commentator from Space Sports TV, and his ten thousand year commentator partner Lineker are in the commentary box.
Because players from both sides are still lining up in the tunnel.
so.
The commentators at the front and the guests at the back are still in contact.
At this moment.
In the guest room at the back, there is a very luxurious lineup.
The recently retired Arsenal legend and former Highbury King Henry.
A member of the Class of 92, Manchester United legend Gary Neville.
A veteran coach who has been in English football for many years, Harry Redknapp was awarded the Premier League Coach of the Season in the 2009-2010 season.
A former retired Liverpool centre-back, Jamie Carragher.
The four of them attracted the attention of the audience through constant arguments before the game even started.
This is a way for the TV station to increase the ratings, and let the arguments of these celebrities who are familiar with English football and former Liverpool center back Carragher and others draw the attention of fans.
At this moment.
What the four people were arguing about was the thickness of Arsenal's lineup.
"I don't think their lineup has been improved at all, or even greatly weakened!!"
Manchester United legend Gary Neville said. ,
"Look at their bench. They are all young players. Their average age is even younger than last season!"
"So you think Arsenal can't defend the Premier League title?"
Carragher asked.
"They are too young!" Carragher shook his head.
Henry burst out laughing.
Everyone looked at him.
"I suddenly remembered a saying," Henry said, "You can't win anything with a bunch of kids."
Gary Neville's expression suddenly froze.
All his previous arguments were shattered by this sentence.
because
This sentence was what the media people at the time used to say about Class 92.
But the result?
Ferguson and his children built a dynasty.
Now.
History seems to be a cycle.
Wenger has a group of talents at his disposal - in the pre-season warm-up matches, these players performed well enough to deserve the reputation of genius players.
So.
Wenger was able to use this group of talents to establish an era of dynasty.
Like Manchester United’s Class 92?
"The situation now is a bit different." Ordinary retired center back Carragher said.
"Yes, yes, the competition in the Premier League now is far more intense than it was back then. Whether it is the playing environment or the media environment, the current Premier League no longer gives young players too much room to grow!"
Gary Neville said.
In fact, there is still much that he has not said.
For example, most of Class 92 are British.
Except for Harry Kane, the current batch of Arsenal's "lotteries" are all foreigners.
The English media is notoriously harsh on foreigners.
therefore.
The eight players Arsenal bought this season will definitely be constantly scrutinized by the English media with a magnifying glass!
Whether they can survive in such a media environment.
It's really hard to say.
after all.
Everyone knows that technical strength is one thing, but whether one can adapt to the league environment is another.
After the game starts.
The situation is similar to what people analyzed before the game.
Arsenal quickly gained the advantage on the field and besieged their opponents.
but.
Before the game, many media analyzed that Arsenal had left so many people this season and so many people had come.
Reflected in the competition field, there will definitely be a lack of tacit understanding and the need for running-in.
Coupled with the fact that this is the first official game of the season, it is an appetizer before the start of the Premier League.
I'm afraid it will take a while for Arsenal to get into form.
However, what is unexpected is.
Arsenal scored early.
The third minute of the game.
Wigan Athletic took a long shot from the outside, but the ball was blocked by midfielder Fabinho and was reflected outside the bottom line.
Then there was a corner kick opportunity for Wigan Athletic - this was Wigan Athletic's only attack in the first three minutes of the game, and it was able to create a corner kick, which made the Wigan Athletic fans who came to the scene very happy.
even though.
Wigan Athletic fell from the Premier League to the Championship last season and has little to do with Arsenal.
This is a continuous accumulation process.
The loss to Arsenal was just the last straw that broke the camel's back - if they had scored enough points in the previous league games, they would not have been relegated by Arsenal.
but no matter.
For Wigan Athletic fans.
The main culprit for Wigan Athletic's relegation was Arsenal - who caused them to completely lose theoretical hope of relegation due to a direct loss to Arsenal.
therefore.
Before the game.
The theme for Wigan Athletic fans is revenge.
Now seeing that the team is very active on the offensive end, they are naturally very excited, and the songs of Wigan Athletic fans rang out at Wembley Stadium.
Although on a club scale.
Wigan Athletic is far from comparable to Arsenal.
But in terms of the number of local fans, although they are not as large as Arsenal, they are still an old English club after all. The number of fans in the community they have accumulated, even if it is less than Arsenal, is not much less.
This is reflected in the fact that the number of fans from both sides in the stands at Wembley is almost the same.
Fans from both sides fought evenly at Wembley Stadium.
And for the players of Wigan Athletic.
Just the Community Shield.
Just a tuba warm-up.
It doesn't really matter.
It's just like the Spanish Super Cup or something like that.
therefore.
In fact, such a game does not put much pressure on both sides, and it often turns into an offensive battle - most teams are also happy to attack, using such an inconsequential Super Cup game to Please your fans.
Therefore, Wigan Athletic still dared to press forward when attacking.
On this corner kick, they gathered seven players to participate in the attack in the penalty area.
Only the two full-backs, who are quicker to track back, remained in the backfield.
Amidst the cheers of the audience.
Corner kick taken by Wigan Athletic.
Then he was kicked out by Van Dyke.
The person receiving the ball from the outside happened to be new aid Fabinho.
When Fabinho receives the ball.
Yelo and Sanchez were like arrows, charging forward along the wing!
Out of fear of Ye Luo.
The chasing Wigan Athletic players swarmed towards Yello.
Fabinho didn't hesitate and made a long pass to Sanchez who was charging forward.
Sanchez was so fast that he crossed half the court in an instant. Fabinho's pass was right in front of him, allowing him to continue rushing forward without slowing down.
When the Wigan Athletic players reacted.
Sanchez has already dribbled the ball to the line of the penalty area!
When some players started to turn their heads and notice him, Ye Luo's pressure on the other side suddenly eased.
He saw Sanchez slowing down and observing at the edge of the penalty area.
The two men's eyes met, and the tacit understanding between the top players was revealed at this time.
Ye Luo suddenly accelerated and ran forward.
Sanchez suddenly stopped while dribbling the ball, and then pocketed the ball to the far end with his right foot!
But when the football fell from the sky.
A red figure has already stepped forward, bang!
Powerful header!
Ye Luo shook his head and hit the goal easily!
