5:0！

When the first half ended, the score was 5-0!

Zhang Xu scored a super long-range shot and two assists! In other words, from his arrival to half-time, the three goals scored by Arsenal are inextricably linked to him!

Actually, this is still the result of Zhang Xu's release, if he really breaks out, the score will increase by one or two!

Even so, it still convinced the players of Guangzhou Hengda, and when the first half ended, as long as the players who were familiar with Zhang Xu came over and greeted Zhang Xu affectionately. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The fans in the stands were also excited by Zhang Xu's wonderful performance, with all kinds of screams and shouts, as well as applause, rendering Tianhe Stadium into a sea of joy.

Since the first half has been fully performed, Zhang Xu feels that he has a good explanation to the fans, so he is naturally reluctant to continue to play the second half, so he found Wenger and asked for a replacement.

Wenger was naturally happy to see it, and hurriedly agreed, for fear that Zhang Xu would make him uncomfortable with another moth.

In the end, the score of this game was fixed at 7:1!

Arsenal scored two more goals in the second half, while Guangzhou Hengda also scored a face-saving goal. This result can be regarded as a happy one.

After the game, Zhang Xu asked Wenger for a leave, accompanied Zheng Zhi, Gao Lin and others, took Walcott and Ramsey, found a remote and more atmospheric bar, and got together for a small gathering.

After the trip to Guangzhou, Arsenal's 2013 trip to Asia came to a successful conclusion.

Arsenal FC has gained a lot of money, and it has also gained a lot of fans!

However, this had nothing to do with Zhang Xu and the rest of the Arsenal team, and the team hurriedly boarded the passenger plane to London the next day.

The reason is simple--- on August 3rd, the annual Emirates Cup is about to begin!

The Emirates Cup is the name of a football competition, correctly translated as the Emirates Cup, named after its main sponsor, Emirates Airlines. The match was played at the Emirates Stadium, home of Premier League Arsenal.

Arsenal hold a two-day pre-season warm-up match each year, with the first edition held in July 2007. The venue is Arsenal's home stadium in London, the Emirates Stadium, in the form of the Ajax Four Corners tournament hosted by Ajax.

The Chieftain translates to its literal name, and its full name is Emirates Stadium or Emirates Stadium. Emir is the transliteration of Emirates, the advertiser on Arsenal's chest.

The Emirates Cup is the most important unofficial warm-up tournament in European football. It is viewed by about 120,000 people every year. Its popularity far exceeds that of the Audi Cup, another major warm-up match in European football.

Signed a sponsorship contract with Emirates Airlines worth a total of 100 million pounds (about 1 billion yuan), and the contract term of the stadium naming rights is 15 years. In addition, starting from the first season (2006/07) when the new stadium opened, Emirates became Arsenal's main shirt sponsor for eight years.

Because the Emirates Cup is a warm-up event, the format is significantly different from the official format. The Emirates Cup is played in a league-style format, with the team with the most points after two matches taking home the Emirates Cup. A winning team is awarded 3 points, and a draw is awarded 1 point. In addition, the team can score 1 point for every goal scored.

If the two teams are evenly divided, the goal difference is compared, followed by the number of goals, and if it is still not comparable, the two teams share the trophy. The game is divided into two halves of 45 minutes each, with a 15-minute break in between. There was no overtime. Each team can report 11 substitutions per game, with a maximum of 6 of them available. A player who receives a red card or accumulates two yellow cards in a match and is sent off will be banned for the next match. Whether the ban is extended to the domestic league will depend on the report of the referee on duty and FIFA's arbitration.

Winners of the Emirates Cup can keep the trophy for the next competition. The Emirates Cup will be presented by Chapman and the President of Emirates Airlines, and a ceremony will be held after the final. In order to reflect the spirit of fair play, players will line up to exchange greetings before the game. The starting line-up will be announced approximately one hour before kick-off.

Arsenal have won the Emirates Cup three times since 2007.

In this year's Emirates Cup, Arsenal invited Galatasaray of the Turkish Super League, Porto of the Portuguese Super League and Napoli of the Italian Serie A to participate, and the competition will officially start on August 3.

At 4 p.m. local time on this day, the first round of the 2013 Emirates Cup was contested at the Emirates Stadium, with Arsenal hosting Napoli.

This is also Zhang Xu's first official appearance in front of Arsenal fans, so before the start of the game, Wenger held a grand fan meeting ceremony for Zhang Xu.

First of all, on the big screen of the Emirates Stadium, the wonderful videos or pictures of Zhang Xu in La Liga were played in turn, especially the decisive picture in the Copa del Rey final, which was played throughout the whole process. Then the news related to Zhang Xu's joining Arsenal and the relevant videos and pictures of the press conference were played.

In the end, Zhang Xu held a football in his arms, wearing a No. 18 jersey, and waved to the fans in the stands while running to the center of the stadium.

Here, there is a microphone and a lot of footballs, after Zhang Xu came here, he picked up the microphone and said loudly: "Fans and friends, good afternoon!" I'm the Chinese zhang you just saw on the big screen, I'm sorry, I'm not a Martian, and I'm not an interstellar monster! ”

"Haha!" Zhang Xu's words immediately made all the fans at the scene laugh.

"A big thank you to all the Arsenal fans on the field! I am flattered that you have given me such a round of applause! In order to express my gratitude to you, I have decided that today and in the future, I will do my best to win more and more important championships for the team and you! ”

"Bang bang bang!" The scene suddenly burst into thunderous applause!

For fans, there is nothing more exciting and exciting than the team winning the championship, so Zhang Xu's words went directly to the hearts of the fans.

With such a player who is determined to win the championship, and there is such a captain and core who pursues the championship, how can the fans not rejoice?

Next, Zhang Xu directly took the football in his arms and kicked the football to the stands with a big foot.

At this time, you can see Zhang Xu's foot strength.

He stood in the center of the pitch and just kicked the ball straight into the stands, which required more than a little bit of power.

However, when Zhang Xu was playing, he seemed very relaxed and freehand, and there was no feeling of lack of strength at all.

What shocked the fans was that when a large number of footballs under Zhang Xu's feet were kicked to the stands on both sides of the stadium, he turned his target to the vertical fan stands!

It's even more difficult! This is the Emirates Stadium, which can accommodate more than 60,000 people, and Zhang Xu's every kick must be more than 150 meters to be able to kick the football to the stands.

And Zhang Xu did it very easily every time!

This alone can see the powerful power contained in Zhang Xu's legs!

As a result, the fans became even more excited, shouting Zhang Xu's voice echoed over the Emirates Stadium again and again, resounding in the sky!

After kicking all the footballs, Zhang Xu grabbed the microphone again, deliberately kicked and said, "Okay, these twenty-two footballs can exhaust me!" If you don't scream at me, I don't think I'll be able to get up for the rest of the race! ”

"Wow! Ahhh "Hahaha!!" ......

The laughter of the fans was mixed with screams, and suddenly resounded throughout the stadium.

At 4:20 p.m., that is, after Zhang Xu's fan meeting ceremony, the Arsenal match against Napoli officially began.

As the captain of the team, Zhang Xu started the game and played as an organizational midfielder.

The team played in a 3-2-3-2 formation, and it was not Arteta who partnered Zhang Xu in the back, but Vermaelen.

The back three were Koscielny, Sagna and Mertesacker; In midfield are Wilshere, Ramsey and Rosicky; Up front are Theo Walcoat and Olivier Giroud.

Napoli signings Reyna and Callejon started and Gonzalo Higuain came to the bench.

In the third minute, Zhang Xu came close to breaking through Napoli's goal, and his 10-yard shot from 10 yards in a scuffle in the box went wide of the left-hand post.

Arsenal finally took the lead in the sixth minute of the game. The Napoli defender made a mistake with a header and Walket pushed home.

After taking a one-0 lead, Zhang Xu gradually controlled the rhythm of the game in his own hands, and the situation on the field gradually fell to Arsenal.

In the 14th minute of the game, Zhang Xu's long-range shot from 35 yards went just over the crossbar.

In the eighteenth minute of the game, Arsenal changed the score again.

After Zhang Xu received Wilshere's pass in the middle, he saw Ramsey unattended on the right side, so he made an overhead diagonal pass and hoisted the football to the feet of Ramsey who was inserted forward on the right side, and Ramsey shook the Napoli defender on the right side of the penalty area and shot successfully from a small angle! 2：0！

Although the game fell into a passive situation and the score was behind, the Napoli team did not lose their fighting spirit, but became more and more courageous.

In the 31st minute of the game, Almeiro burst into the left side of the penalty area with a quick counterattack and crossed, and Cicini's shot from the far post was blocked and deflected off the left post.

In the 34th minute of the game, Ramsey passed, Giroud's powerful shot from 18 yards on the left side of the penalty area was blocked by Inler and missed the far corner post, and then Wilshere took a corner kick, and Zhang Xu's header from 10 yards was saved by Napoli's goalkeeper Reina with his fingertips.

In the second half, it was easy to play again.

Because the score was behind, Napoli's Higuain finally came off the bench.

However, even if he played, he failed to change the overall situation of the game, and the initiative was still firmly controlled by Zhang Xu.

In the 48th minute of the game, Ramsey passed the ball, and Zhang Xu forced three people to burst through the right side of the penalty area and fired a low shot from 12 yards slightly out of the far corner.

In the 52nd minute of the game, Mertesacker passed, Zhang Xu's header was ferried, and the substitute Podolski volleyed from the left side of the penalty area.

The score finally changed again in the 77th minute of the game.

After Zhang Xu cooperated with Wilshere in the middle with two consecutive kicks, he suddenly made a through ball that directly penetrated the Napoli backline, and then Podolski, who came on as a substitute, scored with a low shot!

3:0！

So far, Arsenal has sealed the win! (To be continued.) )
