After winning the first championship trophy, Zhang Xu's performance in the Emirates Cup immediately attracted strong attention from various British media. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"China's Zhang is strong and helps Arsenal win the Emirates Cup! 》

This is a report from Sky Sports, in which the commentator spoke highly of Zhang Xu's ability, believing that China's Zhang, who has just joined Arsenal, performed perfectly in the Emirates Cup, which is enough to prove that he is indeed a world-class midfielder.

In two consecutive games, Arsenal won 3-0 against Napoli and 2-0 against Galatasaray, and in each game, Arsenal played a heavy role.

We see that China Zhang is not only solid defensively, but also sharp in attack, and what is even more terrifying is that his midfield playmaking ability is particularly strong.

Arsenal's midfield was already very strong, and now with China Zhang, it is even more terrifying. It can be seen that China Zhang has become the offensive and defensive core of Arsenal. Moreover, under the organization of Chinese Zhang, Arsenal has indeed made a qualitative leap.

Such a strong Arsenal makes us full of curiosity about this season's Premier League, maybe this season, it will be very lively!

"China's Zhang as the new captain of the Arsenal, that is, to help the team win the Emirates Cup" was an article in The Sun, and the commentator wrote:

China's Zhang, who spent £37.5 million to buy from Arsenal, was appointed by Arsene Wenger as the team's new captain and the team's attacking and defensive core after officially joining the team.

From this, we can see that Wenger attaches great importance to China Zhang, and he wants to make China Zhang the soul of Arsenal.

In fact, China's performance since then is also worthy of the position of captain, and almost every goal in the two games is closely related to him.

And, in the game, we had a feeling that China Zhang seemed to be in control of the rhythm of the game!

It's rare in the history of football for a player to control the pace of the game, and all of them are some of the biggest superstars in football!

Perhaps, we are now witnessing a new superstar rising at Arsenal!

In addition to Sky Sports and The Sun, other media also gave high praise to Zhang Xu's performance.

"One goal and three assists in two games, China Zhang shines at the Emirates Stadium!" 》

"Arsenal's weapon to control the game - the new captain China Zhang! 》

"Arsenal's Super Tank - £37.5 Million Chinese Zhang! 》

Although the media hyped Zhang Xu, Zhang Xu himself did not pay attention to these boring things, he only cared about whether his own attributes had improved.

After fully recovering from his injury, Zhang Xu can finally do daily tasks and side quests every day, coupled with training competitions from time to time, Zhang Xu's experience value has risen relatively quickly during this time.

On top of that, he has recently played a total of six warm-up games with the team, which has allowed him to accumulate a lot of experience, and now, he has been promoted two levels in a row, and has once again recovered to the level of 64 before the injury!

After the Emirates Cup match, Arsenal still have a warm-up game to play before the official start of the Premier League, and this game will be against last season's league runners-up---- Manchester City!

For Manchester City, Zhang Xu's impression is still in Sun Jihai's era, and the current Manchester City has already undergone earth-shaking changes.

Manchester City Football Club, abbreviated as "Manchester City", nicknamed "Blue Moon", with the slogan SuperbiainProelio, which means "Pride of War" (PrideinBattle); Located in Manchester, England.

In 2008, Manchester City was bought by an Arab consortium from the Middle East and won the FA Cup in 2010-11, becoming City's first trophy in nearly 35 years. In the 2011-12 season, Manchester City won the Premier League for the first time and regained the English top flight title for the first time in 44 years.

The current Manchester City, like Arsenal, is already a strong contender for the Premier League title, so Wenger still attaches great importance to this warm-up game.

In order to play this game well, Arsene Wenger's starting lineup is almost the main lineup of the team. The goalkeeper was Szczesny, and the back line was Koscielny, Sagna and Mertesacker, and Vermaelen did not recover from an injury, so he did not travel to Finland with the team.

Partnering Zhang Xu is Mikel Arteta, with Wilshere, Ramsey and Rosicky in front, and Theo Walcott and Podolski up front.

On August 10, 2013, at 15:00 local time, the pre-season warm-up match was played at the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki.

Here in Manchester City, Zhang Xu met an acquaintance, that is, former Sevilla striker Negredo, who just joined Manchester City.

Negredo is a typical center forward, 186cm tall and weighs 85kg.

He has excellent physical condition, although his individual skills are not delicate and his speed is not very fast, but Negredo has a super catch-adjustment-shooting ability.

Whether it's a cross from the wing or a through ball from the middle, whether it's a high ball over the top or a low cross from the ground, he always finds the right way to shoot, and even if it's some difficult balls, he tries to adjust his pace and body and force his feet.

Just as Zhang Xu is very familiar with Negredo, Negredo is extremely familiar with Zhang Xu, the assist king of La Liga.

When he saw Zhang Xu standing on the court and smiling at him, Negredo first froze, and then showed a wry smile.

If there is anyone in this world who is the opponent he is most reluctant to meet, then Zhang Xu must be one of them.

Just kidding, a guy who can confront Messi and Ronaldo head-on and not fall behind, do you think that in front of him, wanting to score a goal is like climbing to the sky, how difficult!

Negredo's worries were completely correct, and when the game began, Zhang Xu used his strong defensive and organizational skills to completely stare Negredo to death. Not only that, but he also quickly controlled the pace of the game in the shortest possible time, allowing Arsenal to gradually take the initiative in the game.

In the ninth minute of the game, Arsenal took the lead.

After Zhang Xu cut off Nasri's pass near the halfline, he quickly advanced with the ball, and in the face of Yaya Toure, he directly pushed the pass and sent the football to Ramsey on the right, and after Ramsey received the ball, he quickly crossed the bottom.

Zhang Xu pressed Yaya Toure in the middle, grabbed the first point, and the header was ferried to Walcott.

Walquette relied on Klich to shoot and the ball passed under Joe Hart's armpit and into the back of the net!

The ball is in! 1:0！

After falling behind by one goal, Manchester City stepped up their attacking efforts and attacked Arsenal frequently. However, Zhang Xu responded calmly and defused the opponent's offensive again and again.

In the twelfth minute of the game, Manchester City's Silva passed the ball, and Milner volleyed from the edge of the penalty area, which was blocked by Zhang Xu with his right leg.

In the seventeenth minute of the game, Negredo received a pass from Nasri outside the penalty area, and saw that Zhang Xu had already pounced on him, and in a hurry, he turned and volleyed directly, which was easily picked off by Szczesny.

In the 23rd minute of the game, this was perhaps Manchester City's biggest threat to Arsenal. Nasri was near the halfway line and suddenly sent a through ball, Negredo received the pass on the right edge of the penalty area, faced Koscielny, and fired a powerful shot straight away!

The shot was angled and went straight into the bottom right corner of the goal.

Szczesny finally played his due strength, making a sideways pounce and saving the ball on the goal line.

After the rematch in the second half, the situation of the game remained unchanged, and Zhang Xu still firmly controlled the rhythm of the game.

In the fifty-ninth minute of the game, the score was rewritten again.

Zhang Xu cooperated with Ramsey in the front court, played a series of wonderful interspersed runs, and finally, Zhang Xu made a delicate through ball and stuffed the football to Walcott's feet, Walcott faced Manchester City's goalkeeper, but did not be greedy, but passed back diagonally!

Ramsey pushes an empty net into the net from the middle of the box on the right side of the box!

The ball is in! 2:0！

The goal was a serious demoralisation blow to Manchester City's team, and Arsenal's third goal soon followed.

In the 63rd minute of the game, Zhang Xu crossed to Ramsey, Ramsey directly kicked a long pass from the midfield, Kompany intercepted and failed, and Giroud scored on the edge of the penalty area!

Three to zero!

Arsenal seal the win! (To be continued.) )
