Arsenal's 4-1 win over Everton did not take centre stage in the first round.

Chelsea finally chose Jose Mourinho to take charge of the Blues, and the outside world is more curious about how this team will behave in the Premier League in the new season, and the check signed by Abou this summer is also surprising, he has sent a lot of powerful players to Mourinhoro, and Mourinho also in order to win people's hearts, and declared to the outside world as soon as he joined the team: Chelsea does not need Qin Xiong, we have the best midfielder in the world Frank Lampard.

When Chelsea take on the Red Devils at Stamford Bridge in the first round of the new season, Chelsea's midfield combination did not look like Qin Xiong, with Thiago Makelle and Frank Lampard's muscular midfield making Chelsea steely, and their 1-0 home win over Manchester United kicked off Jose Mourinho's aggressive campaign at Stamford Bridge.

Successful teams don't change.

Arsenal are still seen as they were last season, including the main squad.

In the league in August, Qin Xiong did not play a minute, and spent all his time on the bench.

And Arsenal has started the new season exceptionally strongly!

As of August 28, the fourth round of the Premier League is over.

Arsenal are tied with Chelsea in the top two of the table, leading on goal difference.

4:1 away win against Everton, 5:3 home win against Middlesbrough, 3:0 home win against Blackburn Rover, 4:1 away win over Norwich.

Arsenal have averaged four goals per game in four games, with an astonishing attacking firepower.

At the same time, Manchester United's new season has been plagued by injuries and the lack of preparation for the summer by key players such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Heinze, and the Red Devils have had a terrible start.

Only one win in the first four rounds. Lost to Chelsea. Drawn by Blackburn Rovers and Everton. Seven points behind the leaders Arsenal and Chelsea!

The Premier League, which kicks off in mid-August, has an average of almost every four days, and the tightness of the schedule is evident.

Qin Xiong went through a gradual recovery period for most of the month, and when this period passed, he clearly felt that his physical condition had risen to a higher level, and he had refreshed himself in the training reserve physical fitness.

He was ready to come to his senses and fight for Arsenal, even if the Arsenal fans may have forgotten him.

Chinese players who believe that the summer is useless to come to the team with the club's recruitment standard.

But Arsene Wenger doesn't think so.

Arsene Wenger was always looking forward to the day when Qin Xiong was ready.

On August 31, the Premier League was suspended, and the second round of the English League Cup came.

Arsene Wenger added Qin Xiong to the starting line-up. Let him officially represent Arsenal in his first game, which is also related to the consumption of most of the main players in four Premier League games in half a month.

League Cup second round.

Arsenal visit New Neil.

They will be greeted by a London derby.

The opponent is an English second-tier team called Millwall, who have just changed from League One to Championship.

On the bus with the team, although Vieira would not play as the captain, he was still in the squad for the game, he deliberately walked to Qin Xiong's seat and gently patted Qin Xiong's head with his hand, Qin Xiong turned his head to look at him, only to see Vieira say to him with a stern expression: "Be careful on the field today." ”

Qin Xiong was stunned for two seconds before nodding solemnly.

According to Cesc Fabregas, England are the lower the team. The tougher the style of play, the more teams there are.

The top teams in England are going to play in Europe. I have to adapt to the European style of play, and I can't defeat the "cunning" continental style of football by relying on tough confrontation alone, so when playing against top teams, I actually pay more attention to the real confrontation of technical tactics and team strength.

However, if you play against teams such as the middle and lower levels, you need to be wary of the opponent's excessive aggression in the confrontation.

Qin Xiong can roughly see this, and after studying the Premier League games for most of the month and understanding the characteristics of the opponents, he will find that the weaker opponents will use more brutal confrontations to limit the strong opponents.

This may also be the status quo of world football, in addition to tactical conservatism, the strategic killing posture also exists, but in England, football values will be more tolerant of "confrontation", and even encouraged, so this boundary is very blurred, and often confrontation goes too far and becomes undisguised killing.

Millwall is south of the River Thames, but the club is regionally part of East London, rivals West Ham United and the most famous cradle of football hooligans in the UK.

When Qin Xiong arrived at the New Neil Stadium to start the warm-up, he saw more than 16,000 Erwall fans in the stands, who were fanatically and passionately cheering for the team, and at the same time did not miss any opportunity to taunt and humiliate the Arsenal players.

This in itself would be puzzling to Qin Xiong.

It seems that Millwall fans, known as the Wild Lions, are born with attacking attributes, like mad dogs, who are obviously innocent and just play the game, but will continue the confrontation of the game beyond the field.

But knowing that Millwall and West Ham United are notorious rogue teams, there is no surprise to be made.

Qin Xiong warmed up and walked back to the locker room, ignoring the middle fingers of Millwall fans in the nearby stands who pointed at him, and some racist remarks.

He has already experienced racism in the Netherlands, against Feyenoord, but he is not alone, and there are also black players in the Arsenal squad who are also the targets of racist abuse.

Qin Xiong's mentality is very good, he doesn't feel aggrieved or uncomfortable, a group of beasts are barking, why bother to take it to heart?

In the dressing room, Arsene Wenger stressed the need to get the pace of the game up to speed up and avoid getting caught up in hand-to-hand combat.

In terms of strength, even Arsenal, which did not send the main force, should be better than Millwall with better team fighting ability.

But that's only theoretical.

Millwall were runners-up in the FA Cup last season!

Qin Xiong wore an Arsenal shirt for the first time, and he walked into the stadium with full spirit.

"Finally, finally, finally let us see the rookie Qin Xiong that Arsenal bought for 10 million euros in the summer, the Champions League final MVP's debut in England came a little late, as far as we know, he did not participate in Arsenal's pre-season training in the summer, but returned to China to lead the Chinese national team to participate in the Asian Cup, he became the champion of the Intercontinental Nations Cup, it is hard to imagine that a 19-year-old Asian player will win so many honors in a year, Dutch Cup, Eredivisie, Champions League, Asian Cup, looks great, He arrived in the reigning Premier League champions with honours, but will he be able to adapt to English football? Will it be bought by Manchester United as a commercial takeover, as his compatriot Dong Fangzhuo did? Hehe, we have to take a good look at his appearance today, will he become the next Bergkamp in Wenger's mouth? Oh, and Arsene Wenger has said that many of Arsenal's young youngsters will become Bergkamp, but so far there is only one Bergkamp. ”

Qin Xiong stood at the back of the center circle, his position today can be said to be the front midfield, behind him are Flamini and Cesc Fabregas, at the top is French striker Aria Diere, and on the wings are Van Persie and Reyes.

When Aria Diere tee off, Reyes passed the ball back to Qin Xiong.

Almost at the same time as kick-off, Millwall's strikers immediately rushed up, and Qin Xiong observed the movement of his teammates.

He didn't pay attention to the impact of the opponent's striker at all, it was simply too amateurish!

He confidently defends the ball and turns on the spot, thinking that this will allow him to pass the attacking striker who comes up to press because the opponent's body center of gravity is clear at a glance.

That's right, he did.

When he turns halfway through the ball, he knows he's got past him, and as soon as he turns, he can staggered the ball forward.

But just as he continued to turn around, his eyes suddenly widened, and a sense of crisis came to his heart.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the Millwall striker's foot movement, and the opponent's foot kicked over, not rushing the ball!

It's for Qin Xiong's supporting legs!

Qin Xiong didn't expect that as soon as the scene opened, the other party directly and ferociously took a foul killing action!

This, this, this, this is simply a crime!

And it was premeditated by the other party!

No matter how fast Qin Xiong reacted, at the cost of taking the initiative to lose his body balance and fall to the ground, he still couldn't escape the other party's premeditated slashing foul action!

He was swept to the ground!

Rumble!

New Neill Stadium erupted in earth-shattering cheers!

Millwall fans applauded and cheered their leading striker, Neil Harris, with a shrill whistle that seemed to show off what he had just done on the pitch!

Qin Xiong, who was on the British stage for the first time, fell to the spot, holding his left leg with both hands, he didn't stand up again, nor did he shout, but his whole face was already covered with cold sweat.

His left calf was kicked by his opponent without the protection of the shin guards, and it was already bulging with a red and swollen bag, and it hurt to the touch! (To be continued......)
