(Corrected Sky Sports live room guests are Thierry Henry, Jamie Redknapp and Graeme Souness)

When the game footage appeared in the VIP seats, it elicited exclamations from the crowd at the stadium and in front of the screen.

Handsome black hair, handsome face, handsome beard, handsome coat, in short, Andrés Pirlo, sitting in the VIP seat, exudes the elegance of an artist.

There was a big question mark on everyone's head about why the Italian midfielder, who recently announced his retirement, was at the Emirates Stadium.

Only Arsène Wenger knew about Pirlo's relationship with Tan Xibi, but he was surprised that Pirlo would come to London to watch the game, as the Italian legend seems to have never watched a Premier League game live.

Some say that if Pirlo's defensive skills can be as good as that of French striker Claude, he will have a higher ceiling and may have a chance to fight for the Ballon d'Or.

As the greatest midfielder in the world, he has won the league championship, the Champions League and the World Cup, but has never won the World Footballer of the Year and the Golden Ball Award, which is the regret of Master Pi and the regret of world football.

This may be the reason why Agstiño Oliveira's words moved Pirlo and finally made him accept Tan Xibi as a disciple.

He also wanted to see if Tan Xibi could reach or surpass him if he had strong defensive ability and integrated his offensive ability.

A strengthened version of Pirlo, who is all-round in attack and defense, should be able to win the two highest individual honors of the World Footballer of the Year and the Ballon d'Or.

As the whistle blew, Tottenham Hotspur kicked off and the first north London derby of the season began.

At the beginning, Arsenal's three lines pressed forward together, and the front trident pressed the Tottenham defense high, forcing the opponent to hurriedly drive to the front court to give up the ball.

"Huh?" Martin Taylor abruptly interrupted the commentary, frowning slightly, as if he saw something that puzzled him.

Tottenham kicked a big shot at the back and was headed over by Laurent Koscielny to Hector Bellerin on the wing, and the opposing Tottenham left wing-back Ben Davies and left midfielder Delai Alli immediately pressed for Bellerin.

In the past, Arsenal were pressed and pressed by opponents on the wing, either passing back to the centre-back or goalkeeper, or driving forward with a big foot, but this time Bellerin calmly sent a short ball between the two who grabbed it.

It was this unexpected passing choice that caught Taylor's eye, because Bellerin's pass was aimed at Tan Xibi, who took the initiative to approach the wing as a contact point.

There was a detail that Taylor, who had a great vision of the ball, and Tan Xibi moved to the side while observing the surrounding situation, and after receiving a pass from Bellerin, Tan Xibi directly transferred the ball to the feet of Seyad Kolasinac on the left.

"Beautiful!" Taylor couldn't help but cheer, and the seemingly simple transfer of long balls defused the high pressing that Tottenham excelled at.

We all know that in football tactics, it is very important to keep the formation intact, so in Davies and Ali pressing on the right, in order to maintain the formation, the Tottenham players in other positions must also move to the right accordingly, so that there will be a large space on the left side of Arsenal, Tan Xibi does not stop the ball and a long pass is transferred, so that Tottenham can not continue to press forward at the same time, it is too late to move to the left, so Kolasinac firmly caught Tan Xibi's long pass, and drove straight into the Tottenham backfield, Alex Sanchez and Aaron Ramsey also ran forward, causing panic in the Tottenham defence.

Kolasinac and Sanchez made a one-two to shake off the chasing Kieran Trippier into the left sideline of the penalty area, went all the way down and then inverted a triangle cross, Alexandre Lacazette outflanked the point and was tackled by Davinson Sanchez to shovel out the line.

"What a beautiful counterattack!" Taylor was full of praise for Arsenal's wide attack. 'Wall went wide and gave Bellerin a pass point, and then Wall played a pass to Tottenham's weak left side to create a dangerous counter-attack on the wing.

"thierry, have you noticed that Wall is a little different from before?" Redknapp said to Henry.

Henry touched his chin: "Well, how to say it, it seems to have a bit of that temperament." ”

In the VIP seat, Pirlo smiled, obviously very satisfied with the way Tan Xibi handled the ball.

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino was on the sidelines, pointing in one direction with his arm and shouting: "Ali! Christian! Oppress him! ”

After beating group favourites defending champions Real Madrid in the Champions League with a 3,421 formation, and an unbeaten run against Arsenal since Tottenham took over, Pochettino continued to challenge the Gunners with a three-centre-back formation.

Pochettino's intention is obvious that by enhancing the control of the midfield, the middle can maintain the pressure on the Gunners, and try to "crush" the Gunners' back with the midfielder's collective alignment, so as to achieve the advancement from the middle.

More importantly, use the numerical advantage of the midfield to deal with this new Arsenal defender Tan Xibi with strong defensive ability, cut him out, and open up the middle channel.

It was inspired by his Arsenal and Manchester City matches, and he knew how well Tan Xibi defended, especially his terrifying long-range shooting ability from outside the box, so Moussa Dembele was given the responsibility of marking Tan Xibi when defending, so that he could not get up and shoot from distance.

But what Pochettino didn't expect was that Tan Xibi went to the United States to apprentice during the international break, and while his technical ability in all aspects increased, he also learned how to defuse the oppression and pressing of opponents against him.

Arsenal's first corner kick was in vain, when the ball was at the feet of the Tottenham players, Arsenal's front trident put pressure on them, Tottenham went down the middle through a quick pass, Sanchez and Ozil retreated to press and Ramsey and Tan Xibi surrounded, the high-intensity pressing force was a headache for the Spurs players, especially in the face of Tan Xibi, two Tottenham Hotspur defenders named Moussa saw the power of this sigh.

Moussa Sissoko advanced at high speed with the ball, because he basically walked in a straight line, so Tan Xibi was directly stuck between him and the ball, and after easily breaking the ball, he did not pass the ball immediately for the first time, but opened his arms to protect the ball.

Sissoko lost the ball and immediately counter-robbed, Dembele remembered his responsibilities, and immediately participated in the siege, unexpectedly, Tan Xibi suddenly knocked his heel before Dembele got close, passed the ball between Sissoko's legs, and then turned to cross his right side, because Tottenham's two backs were pulled by Tan Xibi, the middle door was wide open, while the opponent behind him had not caught up, Tan Xibi pushed forward with the ball for the first time, this scene caused cheers from the fans in the stands.

Pochettino looked at everything in front of him dumbfounded, the plot is not right, when did this Chinese learn to advance with the ball?

When Tan Xibi advanced with the ball, Ramsey and the front trident also ran forward to take away the opposite Tottenham players, so that Tan Xibi had no one around him, only someone behind him to chase all the way to the arc of the penalty area.

"Not good! Hugo, watch out for his long shots! Pochettino was stunned, and his mind was on Tan Xibi's stunning long-range shot at the Etihad Stadium.
