The 2003-04 season was one that Arsenal fans will never forget, as Arsenal accomplished a great feat that season by winning the Premier League unbeaten. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

That season, the 34-year-old German goalkeeper Jens Lehmann moved to Arsenal, and when many questioned the rationality of Arsenal boss Arsène Wenger's investment, the German goalkeeper quickly proved himself with a stellar performance.

Lehmann, who is good at saving penalties and has a wider range of activities, covers a large area defensively, and unlike the England goalkeeper who was generally tall and had excellent goal-line skills but was not good at attacking, he often left the goalkeeper to receive crosses and high balls, and sometimes even hit 40 yards in front of goal to defuse danger.

Familiar with this scene?

Isn't that the goalkeeping tactic often used by Germany's main goalkeeper and World Cup-winning goalkeeper Manuel Neuer?

It seems that the crazy German goalkeeper has already appeared at the beginning of the 21st century, and coincidentally, both have played for Schalke 04.

Lehmann was the first goalkeeper in the history of the Bundesliga to score in a field of action, in the 1997/98 season, in the 20th round of the Ruhr derby with Borussia Dortmund, when Schalke 04 was 2-1 down until the 90th minute, only to make history with a header from Lehmann, who had the assist on the way.

The German, who has a strong personality and sometimes surprising deeds, has a strong self-confidence, and he has never considered himself inferior to others, especially against his national team rival, Lions Oliver Kahn, Lehmann has always considered himself more suitable to be the main goalkeeper of the German national team.

It was from that night's conversation with Zhang Zhetian that Wenger made up his mind to hand over the door of Arsenal for the next five years (Zhang Zhetian's contract period) to this self-confident Chinese teenager.

Saturday, February 4, 2017, 12 noon.

In London, Stamford Bridge stands out from a sold-out sold-out stand with a giant Tifo made by Chelsea fans as a nod to former Chelsea superstar Frank Lampard, nicknamed 'The Magic Lamp', who recently announced his retirement.

The weather was pleasant on this day, with cloudy weather perfect for playing football, although the temperature was around 6 degrees.

There is still half an hour, the 24th round of the Premier League, Chelsea's home and Arsenal's 6-point key battle is about to begin, this battle of Tianwang Mountain, if Chelsea wins, basically locks the Premier League championship, if it loses, it needs to play a good game with a strong team. If Arsenal wins, they can keep their title hopes alive, and if they lose, they may have to fight for a fourth.

In terms of injuries and suspensions for both teams, Chelsea have a very complete line-up, while Arsenal have suffered heavy losses in the midfield position, Swiss captain Granit Xhaka continues to be suspended (coming to the stands to watch the game in person to cheer for the home team), Wales captain Aaron Ramsey, who was injured in the last game, is out for 21 days, Egyptian striker Mohammed Elneny will not be able to return to London until Sunday's Africa Cup of Nations final, not to mention midfielder Santi Cazorla who is still recovering from injury and the team's first captain Perl Murphy, who has been recovering from injuries this season. Mertesacker. The good news is that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Oliver Giroud are healthy after medical examinations, and Danny Welbeck is back in the squad.

Looking at the stats between the two teams, visitors Arsenal have won just one of their last 10 meetings with Chelsea, with the only win coming 3-0 at home at the start of the season. Arsenal have lost their last four visits to Stamford Bridge, conceding 12 goals and scoring just one. The Gunners' last double against Chelsea came in 2003/04 when they were unbeaten to the title.

Chelsea have won 10 consecutive home games in all competitions and have won 13-1 in their last 14 home games, including eight consecutive home wins in the league.

It's fair to say that Arsenal have been on an almost total disadvantage against Chelsea since their unbeaten title-winning season, and this time at Stamford Bridge, almost everyone thinks the Gunners are more than lucky.

Because of the suspension, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger could only watch the game from the stands, looking at the Arsenal players who were warming up, his heart was excited, nervous, and even a little mischievous.

Because of the starting lineup and 18-man squad announced before the game, one of the starters sparked great controversy among journalists, experts and fans.

Arsenal's starting line-up is as follows:

Goalkeeper: No. 1 Zhangzhetian

Defenders: Héctor Bellerin (24), Schkoderan Mustafi (20), Laurent Koscielny (c), Nacho Monreal

Midfielders: Alex Chamberlain 15, Francis Coquelin 34, Mesut Ozil 11

Forwards: Theo Walcott 14, Alex Iwobi 17, Alex Sanchez 7

Subs: 33 Peter Cech, 3 Kieran Gibbs, 5 Gabriel Paulista, 31 Rene Adelaide, 55 Maitland Niles, 12 Oliver Giroud, 23 Danny Welbeck

Except for a few people in Arsenal, I am afraid no one would have imagined that the 19-year-old Chinese goalkeeper introduced at the last moment would start so quickly, and in such an important game.

Since Cech joined Arsenal, he has been a mainstay, and this season he has started every game in the league, although compared to last season, when he won the fourth Golden Glove award with 16 clean sheets, his form has dropped a lot this season, not only with fewer clean sheets, but also with many mistakes conceded far more than in the same period. However, the Czechs are trusted by Arsene Wenger to start the league and Champions League knockout rounds as long as there are no injuries.

But this time, sitting on the bench in such a major game for the first time makes people think of all kinds of things.

"Cech's dad is hurt?"

"Fart, can you still sit on the bench if you're injured?"

"Could it be that this Chinese man named Zhangzhetian has a background?"

"Shady, there must be shady!"

"I'm sure I've been suppressed!"

"Arsenal are they going to release water? How is it possible to get on this Chinese person? ”

"Arsene Wenger is crazy!"

……

"Henry, Wenger is this?" In the Sky Sports live room, commentator Gary Neville looked at Gunners legend striker Thierry Henry, who was also full of question marks.

Henry frowned, don't look at him as an Arsenal celebrity, since he resigned from Arsenal U18 coach because he held two positions to concentrate on serving as a Sky Sports commentator, Henry and Arsenal coach Arsène Wenger had a very stiff quarrel for a while, plus went to the Belgian national team as an assistant coach, and I don't know much about Arsenal.

"The leader will never take such an important game as a child's play, perhaps, there is something special about this Chinese goalkeeper called Zhangzhetian, so the leader arranged for him to start." Henry was a little unconfident in speaking his mind.

Interestingly, Mr. Arsene Wenger, who has always valued veterans in the goalkeeper position, has made a surprising change, and I want to see what this Chinese man has the ability to make you give him the No. 1 shirt of the Pole.

A smile tugged at Martin Taylor's lips.
