Although the just-concluded 2017 winter transfer window was a bit boring in the eyes of the European media due to the lack of big names and heavyweight deals, it does not mean that there is less money to burn. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The league that burned the most money all winter was the Premier League, with the Chinese Super League coming in second.

The total winter recruitment of 20 teams in the Premier League is as high as 259 million euros, and Gabriel Jesus, who joined Manchester City for 32 million euros, has become the Premier League's winter champion.

Although the Chinese Football Association has strict restrictions on the use of foreign aid, the Chinese Super League team is still unambiguous in spending money.

60 million euros for Oscar, 23.3 million euros for Odion Ighalo, etc., the total cost of the Chinese Super League is close to 219 million euros.

In third place is Ligue 1, with a spending of 151 million euros, the only league outside the Premier League and the Chinese Super League to spend more than 100 million euros.

After the end of the winter window, when fans watched the reinforcements of various teams, a news appeared on the homepage of the updated Arsenal official website that caused a big storm in England and China.

I thought that Arsenal had closed the door early after bringing in 20-year-old left-back Cohen Brammer in early January, but I didn't expect that at the moment of the whistle, it gave Gunners fans a surprise.

The Guardian: Whistle transfer returns! Arsenal brought in 19-year-old Chinese goalkeeper Zhang Zhetian from Portuguese side Universitat Coimbra for 2 million euros.

Daily Mirror: Who is Zhang Zhetian? The goalkeeper bought for 2 million euros, and Arsene Wenger bought another scratch card?

Daily Mail: The first Chinese player in Arsenal's history, will he be Manchester City's Sun Hai or Manchester United's Dong Wangzhuo?

London Evening Banner: (The front page is a photo of Wenger and Zhang Zhetian shaking hands, and the smile on Wenger's face is clearly visible) Wenger who appeared at Heathrow Airport greeted a Chinese player, what is special about this young Chinese named Zhang Zhetian for the Gunners to greet in person?

Don't underestimate the power of the Internet, but if you have any information on the Internet, it will be captured by the powerful keyboard warriors.

Zhang Zhetian, a native of China, was born on December 25, 1997, and only joined the University of Coimbra in the Portuguese League in the summer of 2016, and became the team's main goalkeeper at the age of 18, and was elected as the best player of the game in the first round of the Portuguese League.

Before leaving the University of Coimbra, Zhang Zhetian played 27 games, conceded 14 games, conceded the second fewest goals in the Portuguese league, and in the 27 games he participated, two-thirds of the games won the best player of the match, setting a record for the most times a player of the match in the Portuguese league that season, even if it is placed in the Portuguese Super League, this record is also a new record.

This was only created when Zhang Zhetian did not play a season.

Although I don't know that the purpose of Arsenal's introduction of Zhang Zhetian is because of the competitive level or business, as the only seedling who has joined the European giants overseas, Chinese fans have paid great attention to Zhang Zhetian, which is an opportunity for Arsenal who are interested in developing the Chinese market.

If Arsenal's introduction of Zhang Zhetian is just an appetizer, opening Arsenal's official website and clicking on the first-team list immediately caused a shock among fans.

Zhang Zhetian not only appeared on the goalkeeper list of the first team, but also had his own number.

The number assigned to him by Arsenal is the No. 1 shirt that symbolizes the main goalkeeper.

This is the number of the former Arsenal goalkeeper who has been on loan to Roma for two seasons, Poland international Wojciech Sczesny.

Although he has been away on loan for the past two years, his No.1 shirt has been retained, and even when Czech goalkeeper Petr Cech arrived, he did not choose this No.1.

Although there are rumours that Roma will buy out the outstanding Pole this summer, Arsenal fans still hope that he will return as a first-class goalkeeper produced by Arsenal's academy, after all, he is the future of the Gunners at the age of 30.

However, in the goalkeeper line of the first team list, the number 1 has been written with the name of Zhang Zhetian, which inevitably gives people the reverie that Szczesny has no future at Arsenal.

China's largest football community APP understands the Arsenal fan circle of the football god.

"Is my factory really going to sell 3C (the nickname of Chinese gun fans for Szczesny)?"

"Although Zhang Zhetian is from our Chinese country, I haven't seen him play, and I don't know his strength, he really has the strength of the No. 1 goalkeeper?"

"Did Old Man Wen accept money from a certain company in Huaguo to buy our Huaguo players?"

"You won't buy Zhang Xizhe to guard the water dispenser and be a salesman like Wolf Castle did at the beginning, right?"

"He is only 1.81 meters tall, shorter than his uncle (the nickname of Colombian international David Ospina by Chinese fans), how can he defend against high-altitude balls in the Premier League?"

'Hey, hopefully Arsene Wenger will play him in the next game and give me the three points.'

"Broken car rolls rough!"

"No, the transfer fee of 2 million euros can be in the top three among players in Europe, and Arsenal also gave him the number 1 belonging to Szczesny, I don't think he came to play soy sauce, watch the water cooler, and be a salesman."

"666, upstairs thinking too much, can he squeeze out Cech to become the main goalkeeper?"

……

Not only Arsenal fans in China are full of question marks, but even gun fans in England are very puzzled by Arsenal's assignment of the No. 1 jersey to Zhang Zhetian.

Soon, the main goalkeeper of La Liga giants Barcelona, known as the successor of legendary German goalkeeper Oliver Kahn, Mark Ter Stegen posted a message on his Twitter.

"Congratulations to my friend on joining Premier League giants Arsenal, I believe you are worthy of the number 1 shirt. Come on, palm, look forward to seeing each other in the Champions League. ”

As soon as this tweet came out, it was quickly retweeted and exploded among the media and fans.

This Chinese is a good friend of the little lion Ter Stegen?

If you look closely at this tweet, the tone seems to be that their relationship is not ordinary.

There is news, there is definitely news.

Yes, Borussia Mönchenchen, wasn't Ter Stegen born in Mönchenchen?

There are really no secrets in the Internet era, and soon, the news that Zhang Zhetian came out of the Menxing Academy and was the same as Ter Stegen was dug up.

"It turns out that Zhang Zhetian is a boutique produced by Menxing Academy."

"Well, the little lion must have the strength of the No. 1 goalkeeper, even if he is worse, he can't be much worse than the little lion, right?"

"Arsene Wenger has always had a good eye for young players, maybe this scratch card will win the jackpot!"

"Wow, look at his hands, they're so big!"

"Wow, such a big hand is indeed material for a goalkeeper."

"With such a big hand, you can grab the ball with one hand, right?"

"What kind of ball?"

"Upstairs you're evil."

……

Let the outside world make a fuss, pass the physical examination, and successfully join Arsenal, Zhang Zhetian soon devoted himself to the training of his new club.

On the evening of February 1, Manchester City visited the London Stadium and won 4-0 to take all three points, and the points were tied with Liverpool in fourth place, only to temporarily rank fifth due to less goal difference.

Due to this round of the Premier League, the top four all lost points, and only Manchester City won among the top six teams, so the leaders in front of Manchester City have slowed down, and the chasing rival Manchester United has also been thrown away by Manchester City because of the weak team.

At present, Chelsea lead the table with nine points and have taken the absolute initiative in the title race. Second-placed Tottenham Hotspur is only five points ahead of sixth-placed Manchester United, and the distance between second-placed and fifth-place is only one point.

For Arsenal, this season is far more difficult than ever, whether it is to compete for the title or to keep the fourth, the home shock loss to the Hornets, lost the gap to shorten the top Chelsea, if the weekend away to the title rival Chelsea, the Gunners will not be able to protect the top four.

With Arsenal beating Chelsea by three goals in the first leg, the Blues threatened revenge at Stamford Bridge to knock the Gunners out of the top four.

On the training ground, Arsène Wenger frowned, and in the last game, he not only lost, but also lost midfielder Aaron Ramsey.

In that rainy game, the Welsh captain suffered a calf strain and will not be able to play in the next game, plus Santi Cazorla, who has not yet recovered, Granit Xhaka, who is still suspended, and Mohamed Elneny, who participated in the Africa Cup of Nations but was injured, and now the first team, in the midfield, remains healthy, and only Francis Coquelin is left.

Arsene Wenger didn't expect the team's midfield to be so badly attritional, and the available midfielder was left with only a regular main player and a young player.

If you continue to play in the back two, you can arrange Alex Chamberlain to partner with Coquelin, or play the youngster Aslie Nils. But the former plays a strong team and doesn't know if he can control the midfield, and the latter is difficult to reassure people whether it is experience or ability.

If you play a single midfielder, facing Chelsea who play 352, the disadvantage of the number of midfielders will be blown out by the opponent.

Headache, Wenger sighed, maybe Jack Wilshere's loan contract should have been recalled at any time, otherwise, it would not have fallen to the point where it was overstretched and unavailable.

Suddenly, there was a burst of exclamations in the corner of the training ground, and Wenger followed the sound, isn't this the area where the goalkeeper trains? What are these guys looking at over there?

Wenger curiously walked over to take a look, his eyes lit up.

I saw Zhang Zhetian dancing on the goal line with his hands and feet, and saved the ball shot by the machine three meters away.

With a distance of three meters, the rate of fire of the machine and a small ball that is not much bigger than a table tennis ball, how fast does it take to react if you want to pounce out without leaking?

Look at Zhang Zhetian's back, it is actually empty, which means that he has not missed a single ball so far.

Arsene Wenger walked up to Petr Cech and said: "What do you think? ”

"The fundamentals are very solid, the reflexes are very fast, although he is shorter, his bounce power can make up for the lack of height, and he is only 19 years old, he can still grow. Chief, although his body doesn't look very strong, I can feel a huge amount of energy in his body. Cech said.

Arsene Wenger said apologetically: "I'll play him in the next game, don't you mind telling him about the characteristics of the Chelsea front-court players? ”

Cech shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Maybe he will surprise us, but," After a pause, Cech raised his chin slightly to the side and said, "Boss, Ospina is not in a good mood." ”

Looking at the ugly David Ospina, Wenger sighed lightly, it is really not a good thing to hoard too many good goalkeepers.
