Commentary on the scene said Solace: "Xhaka has just joined Arsenal and the professor has put enough trust in him to start the Community Shield, but it was not an easy game for Xhaka as he faced the most terrifying midfield combination in England. ”
Another commentator, David Moyes, chimed in: "Yes, Xhaka has a lot of work to do, he needs to withstand the pressure from Yi, which is not an easy thing for every Premier League midfielder and it turns out that no team had a favour in midfield last season. ”
'Xhaka is a late playmaker, a tandem at the heart of the team, he's done well with Borussia Mönchengladbach and hopefully he'll adapt to the pace of the Premier League.'
......
At Arsenal half-time, Xhaka took a deep breath, it was his debut, and he needed to show what he deserved.
A pair of brown eyes in the deep socket looked at the black-haired young man opposite, and Zaka was a little nervous.
Despite the fact that Yi Le looks young, as the so-called name of the person, the shadow of the tree, has blown up almost all Premier League midfielders last season, and this terrifying dominance has put Xhaka under great pressure.
He understands that if he wants to win this game, he must fight for tempo points in the midfield.
The professor spent £25 million to push for the transfer, just to put him up against the Chinese.
As he waited for kick-off, Xhaka slapped his cheek to lift his spirits.
At this time, Cazorla came over and said: "Don't be nervous, don't put too much pressure on yourself, don't deliberately go to the Chinese, choose the appropriate choice to retreat, believe me, this is not a shame!" ”
Zakar paused for a moment, then said solemnly: "I'll kick him." ”
Are you being underestimated?
Cazorla chuckled and shook her head, leaving without saying anything.
How easy is it to explode?
This is simply a fantasy, if you can't do it last season, this season will be even more finished, you must know that now Yile has a patron saint standing next to him.
......
At Tottenham Hotspur's half, N'Golo Kante approached Yi Le and said: "Yi, just like in training, the defense is handed over to me, and the attack is handed over to you." ”
Yi Le nodded, "No problem." ”
Kante stretched out his fist, and Yile also stretched out his fist, and the two fists touched lightly.
At the same time, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game.
Arsenal kick-off first.
Sanchez passed the ball to Walkett, who played a straight back pass and the pair pounced on the Spurs half.
Tottenham's strikers, Higuain, Torres, and Son Heung-min also swarmed up, and they actively pressed up front.
This is the way Tottenham have always played, a ferocious mess.
The Premier League is a fast-paced game with a lot of action and intense physical confrontation.
As soon as Xhaka got the ball, Son Heung-min and Torres pounced like tigers.
This made Xhaka secretly say bad, and quickly turned around to pass back.
The ball was passed to centre-back Koscielny, who lured Torres forward and played the ball towards full-back Bellerin.
Bellerin got the ball and he immediately passed it to Walket for him to break through.
Walcoat took the ball with his back, and just as he was about to stop it, he was slammed into it, and then a black thigh stretched out and hooked the ball away in front of his eyes.
"N'Golo Kante!! Kante, who couldn't get by, played his part, and his steal success rate was too high. Commentator Solace said in surprise: "Kante protects the ball, he is waiting for Yi to come and catch the ball, Kante passes the ball to Yi, Tottenham's attack is coming." ”
When the football was passed to Yi Le's feet, the scene erupted in loud cheers.
Tottenham fans cheered, and as soon as football came to the feet of Yi Le, it meant that Tottenham's ferocious attacking wave was about to begin.
And Arsenal's backline is also shrinking rapidly, and they know how big the threat is from this Chinese.
With the ball in hand, he looked up at the position of the Arsenal players, and the entire back line was cowering near the penalty area, and there was no posture to come forward and scramble.
This is a bloody lesson, and the threat of this Chinese is too great.
Yi Le was also accustomed to this situation, he did not rush the ball, took two steps forward, and at the same time signaled Son Heung-min and Higuain to retreat a little.
When Son Heung-min ran to the right side of the center circle, Yi Le passed the ball over.
Sun Xingmin tested it for a while, found that there was no chance, and passed it back to Yile again.
Yi Le received the ball, he made a transfer, Higuain held the ball, he also made a symbolic temptation, but Arsenal's back line did not press forward at all.
In desperation, Higuain returned the pass.
Yi Le held the ball again, this time Yi Le made a return pass, and he began to patiently perform the inverted foot.
Football in Yile Kante Eric. Dier passes at his feet and Sanchez presses up front, but it doesn't work well.
Xhaka looked at the Tottenham players who were leisurely down, and he was a little anxious, he was the heart of the playmaker and he needed the ball.
Therefore, he made a decision.
Press forward.
Xhaka took a few steps forward, looked at the gap behind him, and said secretly: It should be okay, right?
Suddenly, he felt a creep.
He caught a glimpse of Higuain and Son Heung-min, the two Tottenham wings, starting quickly and heading straight for the bottom line.
Xhaka jerked his head back, and he looked into the middle circle only to see that Yi Le had already bent his bow and arrow, and a precise long ball went straight into the open space.
It's over!
Xhaka's heart was cold, and he wanted to turn and chase back, but his legs couldn't keep up with the speed of the football.
He could only watch as the football was sent into neutral by Yi Le, and Son Heung-min easily unloaded the ball and headed towards the baseline, followed by a cross.
Higuain and Torres fought for the top in the penalty area, Torres was the first to get stuck in position, he rose into the air, his body was extremely stretched, only to see his waist and abdomen force, a header hit the ball, and the football was pushed into the goal.
“GoooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaL!!!!!”
"Goal!! Goal!! Just 10 minutes into the game, Tottenham scored a goal, this goal is so pleasing to the eye, this is Tottenham's attack, clean and concise but so deadly! ”
Xhaka just pressed forward slightly, and such a small gap was easily caught, and he didn't hesitate to find Sun with a precise long pass, and Sun's cross was scored by Torres!
"Perfect fit! Perfect team! They have become even stronger this season! ”
Both commentators stood up and shouted, and they were full of praise for the goal.
"Tottenham is still as strong as ever, this is Tottenham's super midfield, don't give him any chance, because even if it is a small chance, Yi will expand it and evolve into a goal!"
"Oh, Yi's form is still hot this season."
The Tottenham fans at the scene also stood up and cheered, and the whole stadium burst into a tsunami-like shout.
The white tide was churning in the stands, but the Arsenal stands on the opposite side were deadly silent.
Arsenal fans looked at the field in disappointment, their eyes looked at the smiling young man in the middle circle, and their hearts felt bitter.
Who can restrain him? God, please send an angel to restrain this Chinese!
