Before the start of the north London derby, the official broadcaster of the English Premier League found that overseas viewership suddenly increased by nearly 100 million, and after investigation, it was found that the increase in viewership came from China. Reminiscent of Arsenal's recent signing of a minor Chinese player and the astonishing performance of the last league substitute appearance, Arsenal's name is heavily circled in red on the remaining nine Premier League broadcast tables.

In the Sky Sports live room, ace commentator Martin Taylor looked at the starting line-ups of both sides with great interest, and for a moment, his brows were furrowed, thinking about something, and for a while, he stretched his brows and looked at other commentators Paul Merson, Charlie Nicholas and special guest Graeme Souness and said with a smile: "Arsenal tonight will be very interesting. ”

Graeme Souness, who is a Liverpool legend, glanced at the list in his hand and raised his eyebrows: "Arsène is too risky, this is White Hart Lane, Roberto's team has lost two league games here, and only two cup games." ”

Paul Merson gave the sworn enemy a blank look: "So what? At the beginning of the season, in the Carabao Cup, my factory's substitute team was wiped out at home...... Tottenham! "I was talking about hot dogs.

Charlie Nicholas played the round: "Hehe, in any case, since the always old and stubborn Arsène has made such a major change, I believe this game will be exciting." ”

A slight mockery appeared on the corner of Martin Taylor's mouth: "It is not because of this Chinese child that the stubborn French can make such a crazy change." ”

Martin Taylor's list, in Arsenal's starting line-up, reads:

Goalkeeper: No. 13 David Ospina.

Defenders: Twenty-four Victor Bellerin, captain No. 4 Per Mertesacker, No. 5 Gabriel Paulista, No. 20 Mathieu Flamini.

Midfielders: Thirty-four Francis Coquelin, thirty-five Mohamed Elneny, eleven Mesut Ozil.

Forwards: No. 23 Danny Welbeck, No. 9 Qiansheng, No. 3 Kieran Gibbs.

The starting line-up for both sides was released half an hour before the game, and the home team Tottenham Hotspur had a decent list.

Goalkeeper: Captain No. 1 Hugo Lloris.

Defenders: No. 2 Kelly Walker, No. 4 Toby Alderweireld, No. 27 Kevin Wimer, No. 3 Danny Rose.

Midfielders: No. 15 Eric Deere, No. 19 Moussa Dembele, No. 20 Delai Ali, No. 11 Eric Lamela, No. 23 Christian Eriksen.

Striker: Harry Kane.

However, Arsenal's starting list caused an uproar from all sides.

In addition to Sky Sports, Premier League broadcasters also have rival BTSPORT TV. In order to compete with this formidable opponent, BT Sports invited 20 well-known personalities as commentators this season, and the only beautiful host was BT Sports star Hua Dan, Lynsey Shipgrove. The beauty is impressive because she was viciously besieged by netizens not long ago for satirizing Barcelona superstar Leao Messi's double penalty tactics, and even had sexist and vicious words.

In this key battle of the Premier League, in order to fight against Sky Sports, which has ace commentator Martin Taylor, or because of the huge ratings from China, BT Sports sent seven guests to commentate on this unprecedented match.

BT Sports live room, at an oval table, sexy mature thirty-seven-year-old blonde beauty host Lynsey Shipgrave sits reservedly next to a black man. Eagle-eyed Arsenal fans will recognise the black man as the Gunners legend, who was once Arsenal's top scorer and former England international striker, Ian Wright. Lined up from his side, they are all former Premier League stars, this lineup is really luxurious, which shows that BT Sports has invested a lot of money.

Michael Owen, Owen Hargreaves, Leo Ferdinand, Stephen McManaman, Steven Gerrard.

The entire squad of former England internationals is really impressive. Except for Ian Wright, who is Arsenal's man, the others are sworn enemies Liverpool and Manchester United.

Lynsey Shipgrave smiled a charming smile at Ian Wright and the clever BT Sport star knew that the match was going to have the former Gunners speak more and then let the other guests come up with different objections to get the audience's attention.

"Ian, how do you comment on the starting line-up that Alsèna fielded in this game?"

Ian Wright has been commenting on various TV stations since he retired, and he didn't know that he was going to bombard him.

Smiling, Ian Wright said: "Remember the Arsenal team that reached the Champions League final in 2006? With Ashley Cole injured at left-back, Arsène unexpectedly brought on French defender Mathieu Flamini at left-back. As a result, this backline, which was not favored and thought that the left side would be blown up, actually reached the final without conceding a goal in the knockout round. You must know that the three opponents in the knockout round, Juventus and Real Madrid, are famous super giants, and they can't break through Arsenal's crippled backline in two rounds. The opponent of the semi-finals, Villarreal, was a big dark horse that directly threatened the status of the two giants of La Liga at that time, and the team that can reach the semi-finals of the Champions League will not be weak, right? As a result, it still did not break the door of Arsenal. At that time, the performance of left-back Mathieu was simply phenomenal, wasn't it? ”

Lynsey Shipgrave gave Ian Wright a blank look, this guy seems to have worked hard and is not tricked. So she took aim at the others.

'Michael, Arsenal's starting line-up is a surprise, what do you think about that?'

Michael Owen, the son of the wind who was the same age as the beautiful host, smiled: "Actually, when this lineup came out, I was also surprised. With Arsèna's character and style, if it weren't for him being set aside, otherwise, I really can't believe it was his choice. This starter, even if the left-back rotates with the Spaniards, should also be Kieran, but I didn't expect Kieran to be a left winger. And the previous two-back combination, Aaron's position was replaced by this Egyptian, as if this game was the Egyptian's first Premier League start, I don't know him very well, I can only observe in the game. Danny was originally a centre-forward, but he could also play as a winger, so I wasn't surprised that he was on the right wing. What surprised me was the center forward position, which was either Oliver or Theo before, and the two of them have been rotating to play center. But this number nine, although he came off the bench last time to save the team and help Arsenal win the crucial three points, he is always too young, so soon to start in such an important north London derby, will this child, under huge pressure, lost? ”

Leo Ferdinand pouted: "It's an absolute failure, Arsène is crazy, I think it's the recent pressure that has driven this old man crazy." ”

The former international, who has set the Premier League's highest value for a defender, seems to be less than a sworn enemy.

Stephen McManaman, who is known as a gentleman, smiled and said: "Arsenal's main goalkeeper Peter heard that he was injured and had to rest for a month, which is a huge pressure on Arsenal's defence. I think Alsèna is going to send a surprise soldier to catch Roberto off guard, and if Arsenal can score in the first half, Alsèna may send out the main striker in the second half. ”

Liverpool's eternal captain Steven Gerrard shook his head and disagreed with his former best friend: "Stephen, Tottenham can actually compete for the title this season, which no one could have imagined before, and their biggest change this season is their defense. And now Arsenal, we all know that although they have the Germans who can create countless scoring opportunities and lead the assist list so far, Michael. Steven Gerrard pauses and looks at his best friend.

Michael Owen smiled at the former captain.

"How many opportunities do you think you would have been able to capture if it were you?"

Michael Owen looked straight and said proudly, "At least two." ”

Steven Gerrard nodded, then said: "Statistically, Mesut has created the most goal chances in the Premier League this season, far ahead of the second. However, the chances of Arsenal's strikers being able to eat Mesut's pie are all under 30%. Of the current top four teams, Arsenal are the only team that has not scored more than 50 goals. ”

Owen Hargreaves interjected: "So, Arsenal's attacking power has been poor lately, and it was a gamble for Arsène to have a fifteen-year-old Chinese teenager play such an important central striker position in this game. ”

Leo Ferdinand sneered: "Scored two goals in the last game, bet on him. Is it really Tottenham Hotspur's backline or the former tofu dregs? ”

Ian Wright's face was ugly, and he sneered: "At least we are still in the top four, and we can continue to play in the Champions League next season." Your Manchester United will only have to go to the Europa League this season. ”

Leo Ferdinand was furious and was about to get up, when Owen Hargreaves and Stephen McManaman hurriedly grabbed the big black man who was about to run wild.

Lynsey Shipgrave hurried to round the game: "It seems that everyone has different opinions on Arsenal's starting XI this time, but we will wait and see how Arsenal's squad performs in the game. ”

In the Xinying Sports Studio, the commentators are still Jin Kai and Liu Yong, who make Chinese fans gnash their teeth. The two hated commentators burst into laughter on the screen, and it seemed that compared to the all-night commentary three days ago, this game at half past eight made them feel very comfortable.

"Mr. Jin, the starting lineup for this game is out, to be honest, when I first saw the list, I thought it was April Fool's Day."

"Why?" Jin Kai is very familiar with each other and plays the role of praise.

"Meng Lei played 90 minutes in three consecutive games, this one is rotated, this is no opinion, but it should be Gibbs, how can Gibbs play winger, this position is actually the president of the old French defender Flamini."

"Could it be that Sanchez is injured? No one in the winger position? ”

"No, it's good to sit on the bench. I guess the president is willing to give Arsenal a transfer fee to buy this summer in exchange for the opportunity to play in this game, hahaha......"

The fans scolded in their hearts: "Change your sister!" At first glance, I haven't seen the 2006 Champions League! ”

"Even the Egyptians can start, how can the Grim Reaper, the big hanging, the thighs, not even the little tiger? Arsene Wenger looks like he's going to give up on this game and go for a third straight FA Cup title. ”

The fans can't wait to smash this Liu Yong to death with eggs, this person's mouth is too ugly, how can this person be allowed to explain.

Jin Kai smiled: "However, our Chinese compatriot Qiansheng finally got the chance to start with his goal performance in the last game, and this game will also become the heaviest experience left by our Chinese players in Europe." ”

Liu Yong said disapprerovingly: "I hope this kid can maintain his performance in the last game, and don't embarrass Arsenal." ”

The fans couldn't stand it anymore and told the boss to turn off the sound. If you listen to it any longer, I'm afraid they're going to smash it.

……

In the tunnel of players, Tottenham and Arsenal players held children's hands and prepared to enter the field.

Standing at the end, Qiansheng was holding a chubby and cute child, and the child blinked and looked up at the young man with a calm expression, full of curiosity.

"This big brother doesn't seem to be nervous at all, I remember that many big brothers were nervous when they were here, and their palms were sweating a lot."

If Qiansheng could hear the child's heart, he would definitely say contemptuously: "Nervous? It's just kicking. If you can put a lot of pounds in front of your brother, he will be nervous to show you! ”
