"No, Wenger couldn't have put him on the bench." The guest commentator of the game, Southampton legend Matt Le Tissel, was also puzzled.

"I hear," rubbing his chin as another commentator, Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher, said, "what happened to Wall on the training ground the other two days. ”

Le Tissel: "Where did you hear the grapevine?" ”

Carragher: "Grapevine or not, Wall's performance in the last game was obvious to all, he was Arsenal's only strongest defensive midfielder, and if it wasn't for what happened, Wenger would not have won the MVP in the last game. ”

An hour before the game, the starting list for Arsenal's home game against Swansea in the 10th round of the Premier League was released, and Tan Xibi did not appear in the starting lineup, causing controversy among fans in China and the UK.

Especially in China, since Tan Xibi joined Arsenal, Huaguo TV and the media with the live broadcast rights of the Premier League have arranged the best commentators, commentators, the best broadcast room, and the best equipment to broadcast Arsenal's games live.

Sky Sports is no exception, devoting more resources to this game, but the commentators of the game have been arranged in advance, and it is difficult to adjust, so the ace commentators can only be arranged in the next round of Arsenal's key battles.

Arsenal's starting line-up for this game:

Goalkeeper: 33 Peter Cech

Defenders: No. 6 Laurent Koscielny, No. 4 Per Mertesacker (c), No. 18 Nacho Monreal

Wing-backs: Héctor Bellerin 24, Sejad Kolasinac 31

Midfielders: Aaron Ramsey 8, Granit Xhaka 29

Forwards: No. 11 Mesut Ozil, No. 7 Alex Sanchez

Forward: No.9 Alexandre Lacazette

Subs: 54 Matt Messi, 16 Rob Holding, 28 Tan Xibi, 10 Jack Wilshere, 17 Alex Iwobi, 14 Theo Walcott, 12 Oliver Giroud

Compared with last weekend's starting lineup, in addition to Sanchez entering the starting lineup, Tan Xibi sat on the bench, and the formation also changed back to the 3421 that had been used before.

It seems that whether there is Tan Xibi in the starting lineup or not determines what formation Arsenal uses.

Due to the blockade of Tan Xibi's illness, no one in the outside world knew that Tan Xibi suddenly failed to enter the starting lineup in the league, so all kinds of speculations were flying on the Internet, but the parties were laughing with their teammates all the time, and they did not look emotionally affected because they failed to start.

The Black Swans from Wales are fielding a 352 formation to see how more and more Premier League teams are using a back three since Antonio Conte led Chelsea to the title last season.

Swansea starting line-up:

Goalkeeper: No. 1 Lucas Fabianski

Defenders: No. 5 Mike van der Hoorn, No. 33 Federico Fernandez (c), No. 6 Alfie Mawson

Wing-backs: 26 Kyle Norton, 17 Samuel Klukas

Midfielders: No. 4 Ji Chengyong, No. 8 Leroy Fair, No. 14 Tom Carroll

Forwards: No. 18 Jordan Ayew, No. 10 Tammy Abraham

Subs: No. 13 Christopher Nordfeldt, No. 61 Joe Roden, No. 51 Roque-Mesa, No. 12 Natan Dyer, No. 11 Luciano, Narsin, No. 15 Wayne Routledge, No. 62 Oliver McBone

Swansea City coach Paul Clement put three defensive midfielders with strong defensive ability in the midfield, let the impactful Klucas play left wing-back, plus right-back, Norton, who played right wing-back, is obviously attacking, mainly on the wing, especially on the left.

Speaking of which, in addition to the milestone commemoration of Arsenal coach Arsène Wenger, this game also has a highlight, which is the battle between South Korean international Ji Seong-yong and Tan Xibi's Chinese-Korean midfielders.

It's a pity that Tan Xibi, who did not enter the starting lineup, is destined to disappoint Chinese fans, at least in the first half, there is no competition between Tan Xibi and the Koreans.

You must know that before the game, Chinese fans and South Korean fans sprayed each other on the Internet, and the Chinese people angrily boasted that Tan Xibi was stronger than Ji Chengyong, but the Koreans retorted on the grounds that Ji Chengyong was the captain of the national team, but Tan Xibi was not the national football team.

Even if Chinese fans use Tan Xibi's Lionel Messi, one of the world's first pride in the Champions League, and world-class center Luis Suarez as examples to prove that Tan Xibi is better than Ji Chengyong, the sour South Korean fans can't prove anything with a game highlight, and they need to look at the long-term record to prove it.

There was a lot of noise on the Internet, but the game here at the Emirates Stadium began.

"It's not late, it's okay." A panting Emma Jessica rushed to the VIP seat and didn't miss the opening game, but when she got the match booklet and looked at it, she was dumbfounded.

Tan Xibi was not selected for the starting line-up and was sitting on the bench watching the game.

"Wenger is crazy, isn't he?" Unknowingly, Jessica, who loves the house and Wu, is upset for Tan Xibi, but forgets that Tan Xibi has just recovered from a cold, and Coach Wenger is innocently lying down.

Arsenal, who aim for three points at home, launched a fierce attack on Swansea from the start, and Swansea paid more attention to the protection of the middle than last weekend's opponent Everton, so the Swans midfield trio formed an interception army, plus two strikers often retreated to their own half to participate in the defense, and the Gunners who took the initiative to attack were blocked by the opponent's tight defense.

In the 6th minute, Mesut Ozil went straight and Sanchez's shot from a small angle was bravely defused by Polish goalkeeper Fabianski, who had played for Arsenal.

In the 8th minute, Sanchez took a free kick from the left, and Mertesacker headed the goal, but unfortunately the angle was too right, and the ball was firmly held by his former teammates.

Ten minutes later, Alexis Sanchez fired a long-range shot wide.

Dutch midfielder Fell, after snatching the ball in the middle circle, passed back to compatriot Van der Hoorn, who was unscrupulous, dribbled the ball across the halfway, looked up and looked ahead, and after a long pass to the middle, Koscielny, who was standing forward, made a mistake in grabbing it, failed to intercept the ball, and fell as a result, causing Abraham to shake him off and get the ball and turn to send a lethal through ball, the ball rolled past Bellerin, and when the Spaniard turned to chase the ball, he found that the Swansea No. 17 player was cut in at high speed from his left side.

"Héctor, hold on to him!" Tan Xibi got up and shouted, but Bellerin misjudged and thought Klukas would cross, so he ran towards the middle, but what he didn't expect was that Klukas pushed his left foot in front of Cech at the moment of attack, and the ball passed through his legs before Cech hit the ground and rolled into the goal.

0-1, international convention, home team in front.

Hundreds of Swansea fans danced happily in the stands of the visitors, and Clement, who was standing on the sidelines, only briefly celebrated before whispering past the nearby Swansea players.

"If Wall was on the field, would he have conceded this goal?" After commenting on Swansea's goal, Thomas suddenly said this.

"Wall, that ball, if it were you, would it be intercepted?" Wilshere asked Tan Xibi who was sitting in a chair.

"The ball is faster than the man, where can it be intercepted, and who would think that Laurent will steal a mistake. But ......" Tan Xibi glanced at Wenger, who was walking to the sidelines, and said, "I should press that number 17 so that he can't get up and hit the goal." If you say so, you will only know if you can do it. ”

Boss, let me play.
