Chapter 4: No break in the Premier League
The day after Christmas, Arsenal travel to the Micro Carragher Road Stadium to take on Watford. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
During the holidays, the attendance rate of the games is very high, especially the giants Arsenal games, and friends who stay at home make an appointment to watch the game together. The atmosphere of the scene can never be compared with the TV at home.
Watford are regulars in the Premier League. Why are you a regular visitor? In fact, Watford is very inspirational, from the lower leagues to the top four, 03 season to the FA Cup semi-finals, last season finally got their wish to enter the Premier League, is the status of a promoted horse.
It's a pity that Watford had a bad start this season, losing more and winning less, and the points have not been out of the danger of relegation, and they are at the bottom.
Arsenal challenged Watford away, and the strong and weak confrontation were basically biased towards Arsenal.
However, Thierry Henry's injury has not healed, and Arsenal's attacking attack is lacking, making it difficult to look high.
Football is round, don't underestimate any team in the Premier League, even the bottom of the table may beat the giants, upsets often happen in the Premier League.
The Vicarage Road Stadium has the capacity to accommodate more than 20,000 fans at a time, making it the third smallest stadium in the Premier League. In the 20th round of the English Premier League, viewers entered the stadium one after another, and Huaxia Guangyue Sports Channel broadcast the game live.
In the live broadcast room, He Fei was wearing Arsenal's home jersey and a hat with the Watford logo, and there were two old partners next to him, Chen Ling and Jiang Zhongde. All three are veteran Premier League commentators, and many viewers enjoy their live matches.
'Watford host Arsenal tonight and now you can see players from both teams in the dressing room ready and the big shots. To the surprise of Chinese fans, Wenger manager bought it from Hoffenheim during the winter break, Chinese player Ye Qinglong, was also included in the squad for this game, although it was a bench, but this is a good improvement. He Fei spoke in standard Cantonese. (I originally wanted to write a review in Cantonese, but I don't know if you can accept it?) )
Speaking of Ye Qinglong, many media in China have reported that the halfway monk who suddenly appeared has an amazing record since Hoffenheim, with eleven assists and 21 goals in half a season, helping Hoffenheim to establish the first place in the southern division of Germany. Unexpectedly, Hoffenheim would let people go, and it stands to reason that Mr. Hope was not short of money. Chen Ling is familiar with the situation of the five major European leagues, and pays special attention to Chinese players.
"It's not a matter of money, maybe Ye Qinglong originally wanted to leave and go to a higher and better level, after all, Hoffenheim is still the third division of the German league, and there is no platform given by Arsenal. However, it is worth weighing whether Ye Qinglong can stand up at Arsenal, which is worth observing. Jiang Zhongde said.
"Sure enough, our director also cut to the camera to give the substitute players, among which Ye Qinglong was also among them, following the head coach from the entrance of the passage. Okay, let's talk about the lineups of both sides first. He Fei said lightly: "First of all, Arsenal away from home sent a 442 lineup, the goalkeeper is the German goalkeeper Lehmann, the defenders are from left to right: Hoyt, Toure, Jurou, Klich, midfielders: Fabregas, Rosicky, Hleb, Gilberto; Up front, Van Persie and Bam Adebayor were partnered. Thierry Henry was absent for this game, and it is said that the injury was not good, and even the bench did not appear.
On the bench were Almunia, Senderos, Flamini, Walcott and, of course, our local player in Guangzhou, No. 26 Ye Qinglong. ”
'As for Watford, goalkeeper Gomes, defenders: Turi, Pudil, Angra, Exterran. It is also a 442 formation, with Ikechi Anya, Sean, Daniel, and Munari in the midfield, and Fernando and Vidra in the forwards. ”
Speaking of Ye Qinglong, he is a player from the northern Guangdong region of Guangyue, China, and it is said that he followed his foreign cousin to Germany to play football. There are very few players who are halfway monks, especially Chinese players who compete in Europe, and Ye Qinglong is the first to be able to enter a wealthy family halfway. ”
"Ye Qinglong's joining Arsenal has been widely reported in the Chinese media, and it seems that Wenger intends to cultivate it if he can enter the squad. It feels great to see Chinese players in the Premier League. Actually, how many people are cheering for Ye Qinglong in this game? I believe that there are also many fans who want to see Ye Qinglong's demeanor. Hopefully, in this game, Ye Qinglong can come off the bench. Chen Lingdao.
"Officiating this game is the famous Premier League referee Wiley, Wiley used to be a police officer, it is said that because his wife likes football very much, so he chose to pass the exam ex officio referee, since 1995 to officiate Premier League matches, is a very experienced referee." Jiang Zhongde popularized knowledge for the vast public in front of the television.
"Wiley blows the whistle for the start of the game, hello spectators, now you are watching the 20th round of the English Premier League, Watford host Arsenal, and it is Arsenal who kick off first." He Fei followed the footsteps of the camera and said.
At the beginning of the game, Arsenal began to attack, Cesc Fabregas made a long pass, found Van Persie in the middle position, the ball landed very accurately, when snatching the position, Van Persie stumbled and was pushed down, but unfortunately the referee Wiley signaled that it was okay, even if Van Persie complained, there was no way.
Looking at the Premier League, everyone will know that the high-intensity Premier League will never be calm, no matter how many goals are scored, the momentum of the attack will be maintained. The two teams have each other's offense and defense, and the charm of football is vividly reflected in the Premier League.
You won't be sleepy watching the ball, you won't stop attacking, and you'll hit the back as soon as you break the ball and try to score a goal. The desire to score goals in the Premier League can be described as strong.
The game took a turn in the nineteenth minute.
Watford midfielder broke through to Robin van Persie after being cut off by Cesc Fabregas. Van Persie pressed Angela and did not turn, but knocked the ball to Adebayor who rushed up from the right. In the face of Adebayo's breakthrough, Watford's backline looked a little weak, Aixland's tackle was too big, Adebayo covered his right foot in pain, and the referee blew a whistle and punished to give a dangerous direct free kick to the edge of the Arsenal penalty area!
Referee Willy ran over, took out a yellow card, gave Aixlan a warning, and said: You give me care, this is the third time! If there is a next time, you will have a yellow card!
Willy was unceremonious, and Aixlan shrugged his shoulders helplessly. At the beginning of the opening game, he was strongly pressed by Arsenal, and Aixland was broken through by Adebayo many times, was completely blown up three times, and took excessive pulling, pushing, tackling and other actions three times, causing the referee Wiley to finally can't stand it, and has given a yellow card warning very benevolently.
Cesc Fabregas and Gilberto stood at the penalty spot, one left and one right, crossed at the waist, watching the wall line up and waiting for the referee's whistle.
In the penalty area, Van Persie was focused on defense, and pulling movements were commonplace, but referee Wiley stared, and no one would make excessive moves.
Gilberto ran first, but it was a false swing, and then, Fabregas rushed up and hit the goal directly!
The shot was fast, the ball went around the wall and went straight to the goal, but the angle of the shot was lacking, and the goalkeeper Gomes punched it!
However, the danger was still not touched, and the offensive and defensive players in the penalty area raised their necks one after another, scrambling for the first point. Turi fought and pushed the ball out, Gilberto saw the incoming ball, immediately ran up, raised his foot to shoot, without hesitation, neatly.
Boom!!!
With a powerful shot, the ball hit the crowded penalty area, refracted and changed the shooting route, and went straight to the corner of the goal.
Goal!!!
Arsenal played away and scored first, Gilberto pried open the door of Watford!
0:1
Standing on the sidelines, Arsene Wenger, in a suit and leather shoes, grabbed his fist excitedly. Speaking of Arsene Wenger, every time he can be seen on the field, he is in a suit and leather shoes, a red tie, and Sven Wen, quite a professor's style.
Arsenal hadn't been happy for a few minutes before Watford seized a corner to equalise. Lehmann was unresponsive to midfielder Sean's header in front of goal, and Watford equalised.
1:1
The Premier League is so brutal, wave after wave of attacks, no break and no time to rest, even if you score a goal, you can never relax. Now that the score has been equalized, Arsenal are playing away from home, and whether they can score is a big question mark.
