264 Debut in England

Arsenal's 4-1 victory over Everton did not become the focus of the first round.↑,

Chelsea finally chose Mourinho to take charge of the Blues. The outside world is even more curious about how this team will perform in the Premier League in the new season. The check Abram signed this summer is also surprising. He has given many powerful players to Mourinho. In order to win people's hearts, Mourinho immediately declared to the outside world after joining the team: Chelsea does not need Qin Xiong, we have the best midfielder Lampard in the world.

When Chelsea faced the Red Devils and Manchester United at Stamford Bridge in the first round of the new season, the midfield combination of Chelsea did not seem to need Qin Xiong. The muscle midfield composed of Thiago Marklele Lampard made Chelsea feel iron-toned, and their 1-0 defeat of Manchester United at home kicked off Mourinho's aggressive progress at Stamford Bridge.

Successful teams will not change.

Arsenal is still the same as last season in the outside world, including the main lineup.

In the August league, Qin Xiong did not play for a minute and spent all on the bench.

Arsenal started the new season with an extremely strong start!

As of August 28, the fourth round of the Premier League will be over.

Arsenal and Chelsea competed with one or two in the standings, leading by goal difference.

A 4:1 away win against Everton, a 5:3 home win against Middlesbrough, a 3:0 home win against Blackburn, and a 4:1 away win against Norwich.

Arsenal averaged 4 goals per game in four games, with amazing offensive firepower.

At the same time, Manchester United has suffered from team injuries in the new season and the team's main players are not preparing for the summer. For example, Luo and Heinze, the Red Devils' start was extremely bad.

He only won one game in the first four rounds, lost to Chelsea, tied by Blackburn and Everton, and was directly behind the leaders Arsenal and Chelsea 7 points!

The Premier League, which opened in mid-August, almost had an average of four days, and the tight schedule can be seen.

Qin Xiong went through a gradual recovery period during the past half month. After this period, he obviously felt that his physical condition had risen to a higher level and he was refreshed by training and restoring physical fitness.

He was enlightened to fight for Arsenal, even if Arsenal fans might have forgotten him.

It is believed that the Chinese players who came to the team with the club's signing bid in summer are useless.

But Wenger doesn't think so.

Wenger is always looking forward to Qin Xiong making all preparations that day.

On August 31, the Premier League was halted and the second round of the English League Cup came.

Wenger put Qin Xiong on the list and asked him to officially perform his debut for Arsenal, which is also related to the serious consumption of most of the main players in four Premier League battles in half a month.

The second round of the League Cup.

Arsenal is visiting New Neal Stadium.

They will be greeted by a London derby.

The opponent is the second-tier England league team, which has just changed from the League One to the Championship, named Millwall.

On the bus that was going out with the team, although Vieira, as the captain, still in the roster, he walked to Qin Xiong's seat and gently patted Qin Xiong's head with his hand. Qin Xiong turned his head and looked at him. Vieira said to him with a serious expression: "Be careful today on the court."

Qin Xiong was stunned for two seconds before nodding solemnly.

According to Fabregas, England is the lower the team. The more powerful the game, the more teams there are.

The top teams in England have to adapt to the European style of play because they have to fight in Europe. They cannot defeat the "crawling" European continental style by relying solely on tough confrontations. Therefore, when fighting with top teams, they actually pay more attention to the real conflict between technical and tactics and team strength.

But if you fight with mid- and downstream teams, you must be wary of your opponent's excessive aggressiveness in the confrontation.

Qin Xiong roughly saw this. After studying Premier League games for more than half a month, he would find that weaker opponents would use more rough confrontations to limit powerful opponents.

This may also be the current situation in the world football world. In addition to tactical conservatism, a strategic killing attitude also exists. However, in England, football values ​​are more tolerant and even encouraged to "confrontation", so this boundary is very blurred, and often overconfrontation occurs and becomes unconcealed killing.

Millwall is south of the Thames, but the club is affiliated with East London in terms of regional division, and is a pair of enemies with West Ham United and the most famous cradle of football hooligans in Britain.

When Qin Xiong came to the New Neal Stadium to start warming up, he saw the fans of more than 16,000 Millwall in the stands. They shouted for the team enthusiastically and passionately, and did not miss any opportunity to mock and humiliate the Arsenal players.

This itself will puzzle Qin Xiong.

It seems that Millwall fans, who are known as the Crazy Lions, are born with attacking attributes, like mad dogs. They are obviously not wronged or revenge and are just playing football games, but they will continue the confrontation of the game beyond the field.

But if you know that Millwall and West Ham are notorious rogue teams, then there is nothing to make a fuss.

Qin Xiong warmed up and walked back to the locker room, ignoring the middle fingers that Millwall fans in the nearby stands, and some racially discriminatory remarks.

He has also encountered racial discrimination in the Netherlands. It was a game against Feyenoord. In fact, he did not have such an encounter alone. There are also black players in Arsenal, who are also the targets of racist abuse.

Qin Xiong has a good mentality. He doesn’t feel wronged or uncomfortable. A group of beasts are barking, so why should he take it to heart?

In the locker room, Wenger emphasized the need to make the game go faster and avoid getting into local hand-to-hand combat with his opponents.

In terms of strength, even Arsenal, which has not sent out its main force, should have better team combat capabilities than Millwall.

But that's just theoretical.

Millwall was the runner-up in the FA Cup last season!

Qin Xiong made his first appearance in Arsenal jersey, and he walked into the stadium with a full spirit.

"Finally, finally, we finally saw the rookie Qin Xiong who Arsenal bought for 10 million euros in the summer. The MVP of the Champions League final came a bit late. According to our understanding, he did not participate in Arsenal's pre-season training in the summer, but returned to China to lead the Chinese national team to the Asian Cup. He became the champion of the Intercontinental Cup. It is hard to imagine that a 19-year-old Asian player would receive so many honors in a year, the Dutch Cup, the Eredivisie,

The Champions League and the Asian Cup look great. He has a lot of honors to come to the defending Premier League champions. But can he adapt to English football? Will he be bought by Manchester United like his compatriot Dong Fangzhuo and it is just a commercial acquisition? Haha, we need to observe his performance today. Will he become the next Borgkamp in Wenger? Oh, Wenger has said that many young Arsenal rookies will become Borgkamp, ​​but there is still only one Borgkamp to date."

Qin Xiong stood behind the middle circle. His position today can be said to be the front midfielder. Behind him are Flamini and Fabregas, French striker Ariadire, and on both wings are Van Persie and Reyes.

When Ariadire kicked off, Reyes passed the ball back to Qin Xiong.

Almost at the same time as the kickoff, Millwall's forward rushed up immediately, and Qin Xiong observed his teammates' running position.

He didn't take the opponent's striker seriously at all, he was so amateur!

He confidently protected the ball and turned around on the spot. He thought that this would allow him to pass the forward who was coming up to press, because the opponent's body center of gravity was clear at a glance.

Yes, he did it.

When he turned halfway through the ball protection, he knew that he had successfully passed the opponent. As long as he turned around, he could dribble forward and just cross the opponent.

But just as he continued to turn around, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and a sense of crisis surged into his heart.

From the corner of his eyes, he noticed the movements of Millwall's forward's foot. The opponent's foot kicked over, not rushing!

It’s aimed at Qin Xiong’s support legs!

Qin Xiong had never expected that as soon as the game started, the opponent took a fierce foul and killing action!

This, this, this, this is simply a crime!

And it was the other party's premeditated plan!

Even if Qin Xiong reacted quickly, he could not escape the premeditated foul of chopping and slashing at the cost of actively losing his body balance and falling to the ground!

He was swept to the ground!

boom!

The New Neil Stadium burst into a shocking cheer!

Millwall fans applauded and cheered for their leading striker Neal Harris, and the harsh whistle seemed to show off that he had just done something amazing on the court!

Qin Xiong, who had just entered the British arena, fell to his original position, hugging his left leg with both hands. He did not stand up again, nor did he scream, but his whole face was covered in cold sweat.

His left calf was kicked by his opponent without the protection of the leg guard. He had already bulged with a swollen bag, and his tentacles were hurt! (To be continued...)
