And in this game, we saw that China Zhang played an extraordinary role in it, not only controlling the game perfectly, but also a subtle assist, a beautiful quick counterattack, completely destroyed Aston Villa's fighting spirit!

Every fan or reporter who arrived at the scene was very impressed by Arsenal's China Zhang after watching this game. Because it can be said that this game is completely a game written and performed by China Zhang.

Why? Because from the first goal, we were surprised to find that China Zhang implemented his plan at the very beginning of the game and managed to give Aston Villa a head start.

Then, he used his superb midfield playmaking skills to quickly take control of the game in his own hands, then used a brilliant anti-judgment tackle to cut off Aston Villa's pass, and finally, used his lightning speed to play Aston Villa on a quick counter-attack and successfully scored his first goal in the Premier League!

Not every player who has just joined the Premier League can perform so well when he first plays in the Premier League. But, obviously, the Chinese zhang did it!

I have to say that this is because he has strong strength as his backing!

China Zhang deserves to be called Mr. 37.5 million pounds, he does have the strength of the world's top midfielder!

"Perfect debut, China Zhang helped Arsenal win the first round of the league! 》

This is a review from Sky Sports, and in the article, they also gave a very high evaluation of Zhang Xu's performance.

They believe that this game is completely dominated by Chinese zhang! From the very beginning of the game, China Zhang took the game into his own hands.

There are very few players in the world who can truly control the game, but we have seen it in China! All we can say is, Mr. Wenger, you've made another great deal!

"Arsenal defeated Aston Villa 3-0, the core and captain China Zhang is aiming for the Premier League championship! 》

This is an article in the Daily Mail, in which the commentator first described Zhang Xu's perfect performance in the game, and then wrote at the end of the article:

China Zhang, who was successfully elected as the best player of the match with one pass and one shot, made it clear at the award ceremony that the team will go all out to win the league championship this season.

It can be seen that when China Zhang said this, he was full of confidence, not at all to boost the team's morale, or to cater to the fans and make a gesture, he simply expressed himself and the team's confidence in the victory of this season's league championship!

Combined with the unparalleled strength and master-level demeanor shown by China Zhang in this game, his declaration does not seem so unrealistic!

So, there are good reasons to think that Arsenal are ready to go all out to challenge for the Premier League title, and are you ready to take on the challenge of Arsenal, ladies and gentlemen?

In addition to these three reviews, there were also a number of media reports on the game, most of which were front-page headlines.

As a result, the photos of Zhang Xu shaking the goalkeeper's push shot spread all over the streets and alleys of major cities in the United Kingdom, and almost every British football fan knows the new captain and core of the team of Arsenal.

And now, what is Zhang Xu doing?

He was sitting on a plane to Turkey, laughing and joking with his teammates.

Four days later, they will face Turkey's Fenerbahçe in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League qualifying round.

Fenerbah e Spor Kulübü is a Turkish football club based in Istanbul. The club is named after an area of Istanbul called Fenerbahce, which is named because of the presence of a lighthouse in the district ("Feren" means lighthouse in Turkish). The club is best known for football, but the club is also active in basketball, volleyball, rowing and other fields.

The football team is currently competing in the Turkish Super League. Their nickname is "Yellow Canary" (Sar?). Kanaryalar) and Turkey's version of Manchester United, while the home stadium is at the Saracho Stadium. Fenerbahce's home stadium has a fiery atmosphere and is known as the "Devil's Purgatory-style home stadium".

With 19 Turkish Super League titles, 6 Turkish Cups, 6 Turkish Super Cups, Fenerbahçe is a team with countless accolades and traditions.

In the face of such a team, Arsene Wenger took the devil's purgatory-style home game against the opponent on the road, and he led the team to Turkey the day after the match against Aston Villa to carry out relevant preparations before the game.

At 8:45 a.m. on August 21, 2013, the first leg of the UEFA Champions League qualifying round officially began.

In order to ensure that this game can be won smoothly, Wenger sent most of the main lineup, the goalkeeper is the thunderous No. 1 Szczesny, the defenders are Sagna, Koscielny and Mertesacker, the midfielders are Zhang Xu and Gibbs, the front is Rosicky, Wilshere and Ramsey, and the forwards are Walcott and Giroud.

Vermaelen and Mikel Arteta are still recovering from injuries and will not be able to travel with the team to Turkey. Vermaelen, in particular, has a very serious injury and is expected to be unable to play for the team for a long time.

After the start of the game, the Saraggio Stadium deserves to be called the "Devil's Purgatory Home", almost all Fenerbahce fans are frantically shouting, as long as their team players take the ball, it is earth-shattering applause, and as long as the Arsenal players take the ball, it is the boo of the earth!

Such a voice with obvious tendencies can indeed have a certain impact on the state of the players, especially the Arsenal players, in the boos of the fans, there are many players who are not firm enough, and there are some deviations and hesitations in the action of passing and receiving the ball.

Of course, there are still some players who will not be affected by these aspects, among them, there is Zhang Xu who has a big heart!

Zhang Xu has experienced a lot of such an away atmosphere, and his willpower has always been very firm, which will not affect his mood because of fans or other factors, let alone his actions.

So, no matter how much the fans booed him, he kept calmly handling every ball that came to his feet.

Although Fenerbahce is a giant team in the Turkish Super League, there is still a big gap compared with Arsenal, so Zhang Xu, who is the core of the midfield, has not been affected at all, and the game quickly entered Zhang Xu's control under the condition of normal performance level.

In the seventeenth minute of the game, Zhang Xu received Gibbs's clearance header in the middle, and gently pulled his right foot on the side of the flying football, and firmly controlled the football.

Now Zhang Xu, after countless games, his football skills are no longer the kind that is particularly rough, and he can easily make movements like this kind of catching the ball.

After taking control of the ball, he took advantage of the situation and pulled the ball in front of him, ready to take the ball forward.

Fenerbahce immediately had two players rush towards him, one in front of the other, about 60 degrees apart, forming a tendency to flank.

Zhang Xu smiled slightly, this level of pressing, really can't make much of a threat to him, I saw him start quickly, hook his right foot, a **** body, quickly interspersed with the right side of the body of a Fenerbahce player in front, and after crossing the side of the opponent's body, quickly ****, the right foot pulled and pushed, and the football passed through the middle of the two, and Zhang Xu also jumped, crossed the left leg stretched out by one person behind, chased two steps, and crossed the defense of the two!

After the breakthrough, Zhang Xu saw that his teammates in front of him were basically in place, so he stopped carrying the ball, and directly picked up the pass, picked the football past the two Fenerbahce players who pounced on him, and fell directly at the feet of Walcott.

After Walcoat got the football, he quickly stepped forward, and after getting a shot angle of his position, he immediately made a decision and directly fell to the ground and swept away!

When he shot, he was so close to goal that Fenerbahce's goalkeeper Volkan didn't have time to react and could only watch the ball fly into the goal.

The ball is in, 1:0!

After taking the one-goal lead, Arsenal's players immediately returned to normal, and almost everyone was no longer affected by the away fans.

In this case, the team's strength was suddenly fully restored, and the game was played more smoothly.

In the thirty-first minute of the game, it was still Zhang Xu, who made a beautiful steal near the middle line and cut off the football directly from the feet of the opposing player.

Just after he advanced more than ten meters, he was immediately defended by three Fenerbahce players, one of whom moved too big and kicked Zhang Xu's calf.

Zhang Xu didn't have much to do, but the team got a well-placed set-piece.

Wilshere took the shot, and a beautiful arc hung straight into the top right corner of the goal!

2:0！

In the second half, the Fenerbahce team still wanted to get back the score, but when the game reached the ground for 52 minutes, Zhang Xu played a quick counterattack and directly brought the football all the way into the goal!

3:0！

This goal completely broke Fenerbahce's fighting spirit and sealed the victory for Arsenal! (To be continued.) )
