455 There is still a long way to go

Middlesbrough's psychological gap from leading to being reversed can be imagined, and the mental blow they suffered caused their tight and orderly defense to begin to fall into disarray.

Because they have to devote more troops to attack.

In the 68th minute of the game, Downing failed to break through Eboue on the left wing, and Arsenal once again launched a wave of forward counterattack storms.

Qin Xiong dribbled forward in the midfield, and there was only Parlor on the back line, and Boateng had not yet returned to the defense.

Qin Xiong did not break through Parol this time, but instead played a simple two-on-one cooperation with Henry.

Using Henry as a fulcrum in front of the penalty area, Qin Xiong passed the ball and ran forward to easily break through Parloer's defense, and then Qin Xiong swung his legs and shot in front of the veteran Southgate!

Southgate lifted his leg to block Qin's shot, but Qin Xiong slid the ball in front of him and then broke diagonally into the box.

Fake shot!

The biggest problem in Middlesbrough's defense is that the aging of the players, such as Parlor and Southgate, cannot compete with Qin Xiong in terms of instant explosiveness.

After Qin Xiong broke through diagonally into the penalty area, he suddenly passed the ball back to the outside of the triangle penalty area, Cesc Fabregas rushed up to easily win the ball, and sent the ball into the bottom left corner of the goal with a long-range shot unmarked!

Arsenal beat Middlesbrough 3-1 away!

Fabregas ran excitedly to celebrate, and when Qin Xiong came to his side to congratulate him on his goal, Fabregas hugged Qin Xiong excitedly.

He thought that his performance in the first half was good, but he didn't expect that he could do better!

In this game, he also staged a wonderful table of one pass and one shot.

He knew that being by Qin Xiong's side would be more able to stimulate his own performance and make him progress faster. It also makes it easier to play on the pitch.

'Arsenal scored three goals in a row after conceding first. They almost sealed the win. Qin Xiong's role in the Arsenal team is becoming more and more important, he can still make Henry easily refresh the number of goals, and can also drive the young Spanish genius Fabregas to play better, look at this goal, everyone thought that Qin Xiong would shoot or cross to let Henry grab the point, but they didn't expect Qin Xiong to return the pass, creating an extremely relaxed long-range shooting environment for Fabregas, and Fabregas did not live up to Qin Xiong's efforts. In comparison, Arsenal's other two young players are much more eclipsed, Hleb and Reyes should feel the pressure, Cesc Fabregas is scoring, if they don't work harder, I'm afraid Arsenal will always be subservient to others! ”

Arsene Wenger has a big heart set on his mind and he has to make changes to recuperate for the Champions League group stage in a few days' time.

Qin Xiong and Thierry Henry were substituted one after another, with Robin van Persie and Bergkamp coming on.

Qin Xiong hugged Wenger when he left the game, and Wenger smiled with satisfaction. He and Thierry then sat on the bench and exchanged tips on the game.

In the limited counterattack opportunities, how to make the offense play a sharper effect. It's their immediate priority, and a win over Middlesbrough isn't enough to overwhelm their sanity.

The two covered their mouths and whispered to each other, which was caught on the sidelines, and commentators were also speculating about what the two Arsenal ministers were discussing in private.

The two spoke about the team's existing resources and expressed some concerns.

Hleb, for example, has not really integrated into Arsenal and his rhythm on the pitch seems out of step with his team-mates.

It's like he plays his own football alone, and the others play team football, which takes a run-in and takes time, but after a while, it is unknown whether Hleb will be able to play a huge role.

Arsenal originally planned to die down after 20 minutes, but Van Persie, who could play, plus Hleb and Reyes, wanted to show something, and did not cooperate with Bergkamp and Fabregas to control the situation, and guided Arsenal's attack was not sharp, and the defense was not particularly solid.

In the end, Middlesbrough pulled a goal back before the end, but Arsenal beat Middlesbrough 3-2 at the Riverside Stadium.

Arsene Wenger's face was unsightly at the end of the game.

Coaching young players is a long way to go, and not every young player is as young and team-oriented as Qin Xiong and Cesc Fabregas.

He needs to spend more energy and patience on Hleb, Van Persie, Reyes.

You can't always play with a heartbeat when the main players need to rest or can't play!

The only games that will be used to train young players this season are the League Cup and the FA Cup, and I am afraid that there will be no more opportunities.

Every point in the league is up for grabs, the Champions League cannot be lost, where can young players take risks? The consequence of playing smash is not only that Wenger is under the pressure of public opinion, it is the hard work of the whole team to be buried! This cost and consequences are absolutely unbearable.

This season, China sent a lot of media to the Premier League to cover Arsenal matches, Qin Xiong was asked by the club to interact more with the Chinese media, and Arsenal FC also hopes to expand Qin Xiong's influence in the Asian market, and then increase the business expansion channels in the Far East market.

In the commercial operation of the club, Arsenal is far behind Manchester United, it can be said that Arsenal used to be more like a traditional giant club, rooted in the homeland, and does not pay attention to overseas markets, the real epoch-making commercial operation is from last year, Arsenal in order to alleviate financial difficulties and increase income, the new stadium naming rights were sold for 100 million pounds, and signed an eight-year chest advertising contract, excluding the sale of stadium naming rights is a precedent for Premier League teams, The chest sponsorship contract reflects that Arsenal's commercial value is far less representative than Manchester United, Arsenal's chest advertising sponsorship contract only earns 5.5 million pounds a year, and since last year, it has been this figure for eight years, and Manchester United can now get 9 million pounds a year from Vodafone's chest advertising sponsorship! In the next two or three years, maybe a new contract will be signed, and the income will be higher.

Manchester United has been a model of commercialization since the days of the Edwards family, and Arsenal is just starting in terms of commercial operation, Manchester United has secondary sponsors, small sponsorship contracts are as many as stars, how many Arsenal have? I counted it with one pair of hands, and there were only 8 of them!

Therefore, in terms of commercial operations, it is lagging behind Manchester United, and the Haybury Stadium earns more than 10 million pounds less than Manchester United every season on match days, and it is understandable that Arsenal will build a new stadium at this stage in order to maintain its long-term competitiveness in the future.

As for using Qin Xiong to expand the Asian market, this will not have an immediate effect at all.

Does Arsenal have a sales channel overseas?

Even if Arsenal has 30 million or 50 million real Chinese fans in Asia who support Qin Xiong and then Arsenal, will 1% of the fans buy Arsenal's genuine jerseys so that Arsenal can get this part of the benefits?

In the absence of broader sponsorship channels and partners, now Arsenal's commercialization is slowly starting, and there is no substantial income in the short term, as Manchester United's CEO has admitted in private, he advertised that Manchester United has more than 100 million fans in Asia, which is nothing more than a bluff to sponsors, even if there are really 100 million fans, can directly consume Manchester United products, or directly let Manchester United Club benefit, it is almost impossible, but he must do this, for the sake of long-term interests.
