293 Soft eggs, boom, just do it!
Qin Xiong gave people a different combat posture today, as if with a murderous aura.
He was always silent, as silent as the character of his life, but he was by no means a man who died in silence, he had a mind of his own and would explode in silence!
There are always people in life who try to hurt your dignity and emotions when you feel inexplicable and harmless.
He will use his watch on the pitch to respond to the media's skepticism and ridicule.
Today, he is going to use his on-field watch to fight back against the anger that Tottenham fans have brought him to build up in his life!
Maybe for him, as an Arsenal player, looking at Tottenham has not developed the height of hatred, but even anger needs to be vented!
"On a sunny afternoon, we arrived at London's White Hart Lane Stadium, where the north London derby is about to take place, with Tottenham hosting their neighbours Arsenal! Tottenham's new season started quite unwell, the former French national team coach Santini who only led the team for three months was fired by the board of directors, Santini's previous assistant, Dutch coach Martin Joel became the new manager of Tottenham, his luck is really bad, the first game he led the team to play was the north London derby, facing the league leader Arsenal, I hope Tottenham can really have the effect of changing the coach like a knife, just like Martin Joel appeared on the sidelines in a brand new suit today, Tottenham fans must have hoped that the team could be refreshed and destroy Arsenal with high morale, but that would be an impossible task in the eyes of neutral fans and Arsenal fans!
Arsenal are now unbeaten in 52 Premier League games across the season, just six short of AC Milan's record of 58 games unbeaten in the top five leagues, and Arsene Wenger's side look unbeatable. Even when a player is injured. Key players don't play well in a given game. When there are low-level mistakes at the back, an imperfect Arsenal team still can't be beaten! Because in the past two months, the team's midfield star Qin Xiong has been in too good shape! He's always able to step up when it counts, he's a big player, he showed that quality during his time at Ajax, hehe, will he have stage fright today? Seeing his mental outlook when he appeared, I believe that no one will doubt his fighting spirit. He looks more scrappy than any player!
Okay, let's take a look at the starting line-ups for both sides.
Tottenham started 442.
Goalkeeper: Robinson.
Defenders: Tariq, Ledley King, Naibet, Edelman.
Midfielders: Simon Davies, Carrick, Michael Brown, Pedro Mendes.
Forwards: Robbie Keane, Defoe.
Arsenal started 442.
Goalkeeper: Lehmann.
Defenders: Lauren, Toure. Campbell, Ashley Cole.
Midfielder: Ljungberg. Vieira, Qin Xiong, Reyes.
Forwards: Thierry Henry, Bergkamp. â
Arsenal today because Pire's form after recovering from injury was not particularly satisfactory to Wenger, so he continued to use Reyes, and Silva had just recovered from injury, Wenger still let him sit on the bench for the sake of safety, Qin Xiong and Vieira played a midfield combination, and Bergkamp returned to the starting line-up.
Tottenham's starting XI was a typical England 442 pairing.
Especially in the midfield combination, the number 6 is played by Michael Brown, and the number 8 is played by England international Michael Carrick, in fact, Arsenal is similar.
When the players of both sides shook hands before the game, Qin Xiong was more surprised to see the opponent who was not a stranger.
Mendez.
He moved to Tottenham from Porto in the summer, having played Qin Xiong in the Champions League final six months ago.
White Hart Lane is always noisy!
The fans of the two teams fought and sang in the stands, and if there were no security guards standing in the aisle of the stands to separate the seating areas of the fans on both sides, they might have raised their fists and had a fight.
The game began with a huge boo.
As long as the ball is at the feet of the Arsenal players, you can hear deafening boos in the stadium, and if you get close to the touchline, you can hear the excited invective of Tottenham fans in the nearby stands more clearly!
Qin Xiong started running with plenty of momentum and immediately got into the race.
But he saw a picture he didn't expect.
Tottenham were very brave in their midfield counter-attack, viciously surrounding, and slamming their thighs into Arsenal players when they couldn't touch the ball with their legs, and their back line went straight out of the box, more than 35 yards from the goal!
The back line is so premised, it's simply too dangerous.
But that's what they did!
And Arsenal wants to cooperate in all aspects in the midfield, which is difficult to compare!
Long-distance passes take more time on the ball and allow Tottenham to react quickly to counter-attacks, and most of the time players get tangled up and unable to get the ball out of place, let alone on the spot.
It's no surprise that the brutal style of English football, which has become popular in the lower leagues, is revived in this sworn enemy derby.
Qin Xiong is mentally prepared, so he always plays the ball with one kick and does not try to control the ball and pass people.
But the shape of the game made him frown slightly.
He didn't dare to enter the danger zone in the front court lightly, so he could only make passes in the middle and back of the field, deliver shells to his teammates in the front court, and divert the attack.
Because Vieira stepped forward more aggressively than he did!
It doesn't seem like a midfielder.
Qin Xiong couldn't figure it out.
You don't have to be at the front line on the football field, or else? Defenders, goalkeepers as captains, do they have to rush up to show their savings?
Qin Xiong is actually filling in for Vieira, and the lack of defense for the protection of the back is very dangerous, which no longer needs to be taught a lesson to wake up!
Both teams are very fierce and brutal in the local small-scale pressing, and every inch of land is contested!
The tempo is fast, but it is a small-scale tug-of-war, Qin Xiong is constantly passing the organization and filling the position to observe the changes in the shape, he still can't understand why Vieira obviously rushed higher than himself but did not have the consciousness of retreating to the defensive position at all.
Reyes has dropped the chain again!
Qin Xiong can see that even though the Spaniard has said again and again that he is not afraid of confrontation in England, he has adapted to England's style of play. But that's obviously foolish nonsense!
Fight ordinary opponents. Opponents in general. will not fight Arsenal for 1 point, Reyes's talent can be released and displayed, but when encountering opponents like Manchester United and Tottenham who are endlessly fighting with Arsenal, Qin Xiong will not speak, but he understands in his heart: he is a soft egg!
At least in this kind of game, he's a softass!
When he gets away from his opponent with the ball and the opponent lifts his leg as if to kick him in the body. Reyes seems to be even, but his brain crashes after dodging, and he doesn't know what to do with the ball next, which means that although he has not been violated, he has completely panicked!
In the 13th minute of the first half, when Davies raised his leg and seemed to kick Reyes, but was plucked by Reyes, there was a picture that made Qin Xiong and other Arsenal teammates speechless.
Reyes had already passed the other party, and as long as he connected to the next pass, he would definitely be able to pass Brown, who came up to steal him next. But Reyes took the second step after he was on his feet, and his legs went limp, without warning. It's like a fake fall, falling to the ground in a dive!
No one touched him!
He managed to get past Davis!
But why did he have weak legs?
Obviously, his heart is not as stable as his body shows, and he is still very panicked!
Reyes immediately got up from the ground and headed to the back to defend himself, and he lost the ball, or gave it back to his opponent.
He didn't dare to look at the expressions of his teammates, he knew how embarrassed he was from his cousin just now.
He was like an ostrich on the court, afraid that others would notice his inner panic and trembling, so he put on a cool expression as much as possible, as if he was a tough guy.
But it's not a matter of expressions!
No teammates will target him and accuse him because he is not the main force yet!
And his weakness, in other leagues, such as the Bundesliga, La Liga, and Ligue 1, may not have any problems, but in the Premier League, it will be infinitely magnified, especially will become a handle for fans and media to ridicule and attack.
Taking advantage of an Arsenal offensive corner, Vieira turned around and walked towards Qin Xiong, Qin Xiong thought that the captain finally realized that he had left his post without permission, but he didn't expect Vieira to come over and put his arm around Qin Xiong's shoulder, stretched out his hand to point at Tottenham's goal, and said to him with a stern expression: "You should also see that our left attack has once again been paralyzed, and now you need to move forward to form a threat!" Attack it, give Tottenham a little color and see! â
Qin Xiong was really a little annoyed!
He said to Vieira in a stern tone: "If you had done a good job of defending as a midfielder, I would have gone up a long time ago!" â
He's thinking about the big picture!
Instead, it was as if Vieira was reminding him to be positive.
Mistaken, right?
Vieira didn't mind Qin Xiong's slightly heavy tone and sharp questioning.
He still put his arm around Qin Xiong's shoulder, stared at the Tottenham half-court with his eyes like a knife, and said in a deep voice: "You experienced the north London derby for the first time, I don't blame you!" Now listen clearly, this is no game! It's a game where you can score three goals, so don't defend to make sure you win with two! We're going to score, we're going to do everything we can, and every goal is like a slap in the face to Tottenham and their fans! Usually we focus on defense, today, no! Today, offense is the first option, the highest priority! Conceding a goal? Tottenham scored one of us and we scored two of them, and they scored two of us and we scored four of them! Against Tottenham in Highbour, we will press them in an all-round way, and at White Hart Lane, Tottenham will not shrink in defence! -! We're just going to let Tottenham fall in a pool of blood in the duel and at the end of the game, no matter how many goals we have scored by Tottenham, we can stomp on their corpses as long as we score more goals than them! â
Qin Xiong looked at Vieira dumbfounded, Vieira seemed to have a raging flame in his eyes, he patted Qin Xiong's head, Qin Xiong moved his neck, as if he had re-acquainted himself with the game, he thought he was ready to step on the stage of the mortal enemy derby, no, no, no, all the self-righteous preparations before the game are one-sided and insufficient, only when you come here in person, can you really understand the meaning of the game!
The Premier League is an emotional league, which comes from high-intensity confrontation and devastating rhythm, after this rhythm is out of control, no one can control it, because if you can't calm down, a player, two players and a team will become emotional in the game!
Arsenal are not exempt from vulgarity, after all, they are the team that survives zĂ i here.
It's irrational to be emotional, but when you fit into the environment, you have to! It's like the domination of the depths of the soul, and it is completely impossible to calm down.
English football is different from the overall continental style of Europe, the European continental style pays attention to the team and the whole, the tactical discipline is very demanding, and the advanced nature of European football is also reflected in the arrangement, and the mainstream core concept is: defend first and then attack!
In such an important rival derby, Arsenal gave up this core concept, and the emotional influence of the Premier League made Qin Xiong deeply shocked!
He blamed Vieira for it.
Vieira was not wrong!
It is time to rush forward bravely in this kind of game, to create as many chances as possible to score, and to use his fierce and pressing strength to suppress, bully, and ravage Tottenham players!
Qin Xiong is no exception! (To be continued......)
