Chapter 595: The first north London derby of the new season
Chapter 595: The first north London derby of the new season
Li Zihan is Li Zihan, Sanchez is Sanchez, Li Zihan is not Sanchez, and Sanchez is not Li Zihan.
It turns out that although Sanchez has a good performance in Barcelona, he has quickly occupied the main position after coming to Arsenal. But he still can't replace Li Zihan, and the most intuitive embodiment of this replacement is on the court.
When Arsenal was in trouble, Li Zihan stood up, when the team needed to score, Li Zihan scored, and when the team needed Superman to wear underwear, Li Zihan fell from the sky.
Sanchez can't, it's not hacking him, in fact, Sanchez's ability and team's cooperation are undoubted, but not everyone is Li Zihan, just like not everyone is Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Li Zihan has now become an irreplaceable one in the hearts of Arsenal fans, after the ups and downs of last season and the Champions League championship that created history, Li Zihan has the same status as Henry, Bergkamp, Wright, Alan Smith in the hearts of Gunners fans, the only thing missing is that Li Zihan's time at Arsenal is too short.
So Wenger sent Sanchez on the field at the end, instead of choosing Li Zihan, who is better at playing this "style", which made the fans very disappointed, because if Li Zihan is replaced, with his "law of playing superheroes" and the good state of this period, the result of this game is really hard to say.
And one of the more interesting things is that three of Arsenal's players who played in the last game were Southampton's academy players, including Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Chambers
And just like that, Koeman's Southampton's surprise 2-1 reversal at the Emirates Stadium. Arsene Wenger did not blame his goal after the game, and he was very comfortable saying that such a result is not necessarily a bad thing for Arsenal, as it will allow them to focus more on the two important trophies of the league and the Champions League.
In fact, Arsene Wenger is telling the truth, and he is not making excuses for his own failures. The English League Cup is really a chicken rib for several giants in the Premier League, which is worse than chicken ribs.
Such an event has almost no gold content, and it is stronger than the Community Shield, but for such a chicken rib game, the team is not physically fit, and it is not cost-effective to get to the league and the Champions League, and the FA Cup is stronger than it.
Well, maybe Manchester City attaches great importance to the championship of this competition, after all, Manchester City wants to become a real first-class giant. And how did the giants come about? Isn't it just the accumulation of time and championships, no matter how you say it, chicken ribs are still a meat dish for Manchester City
Chelsea have also spent a lot of money in the summer in the league this season, and it has been clear that Chelsea's signings have been very successful in these games, and it is difficult to say otherwise, but Diego Costa has continued his goalscoring form at Atletico Madrid, and Cesc Fabregas has also been the same.
That puts pressure on Arsenal, especially as they also have Eden Hazard and Courtois
Coupled with the fact that Manchester United have also brought in the great man Louis van Gaal, although the current situation of Manchester United is very bad, Wenger has never taken them lightly. Having dealt with Manchester United for so many years, Arsene Wenger knows the team well. And Van Gaal is Van Gaal, and when he gets acquainted with it, Manchester United will become the Red Devil who is a headache for Europe's major giants.
Coupled with the fact that Manchester City and the rising Liverpool have really not played well in the league this season.
At the weekend, the sixth round of the league. This game is very important for Arsenal as they need points to open up the gap on Chelsea at this time, and at the same time they will face bitter rivals Tottenham Hotspur, which means that this is a north London derby.
A few years ago, maybe Tottenham and Arsenal could have a north London derby, but now Arsenal has been reborn, to be honest, Tottenham's current strength really doesn't match the title of derby opponent, if they are not in north London, maybe there is not much hype.
Despite this, Wenger did not dare to underestimate Tottenham, Arsenal had lost the last League Cup, and it would be too much to say if this league game collapsed again. And wasn't the reservation made by Arsene Wenger in that game to cope with this game?
So in the face of this north London derby, Arsenal's main force is out!
The likes of Lee Zihan, Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil were all in the starting line-up, and Arsene Wenger fielded the likes of Ramsey, Pogba and Lars Bender in the middle.
The only change is in goal, with Ospina replacing Szczesny, who is often in this position. Judging from the previous games, Ospina gradually seems to have begun to seize the main position of the Polish goal.
In particular, the comparison between Ospina's table against Juventus and Szczesny's table against Southampton in the last game is clearly that the Colombian is relatively more reliable.
There is reason to believe that Szczesny's future at Arsenal is starting to become uncertain
The other position is at right-back, which has been a headache for Arsenal since Sagna left Arsenal, and even more heartbreaking than the goalkeeper position.
In the end, Arsene Wenger did not let the new Southampton youngster Chambers play, but was provided by the Arsenal Academy for the "quality product" Bellerin.
Tottenham veteran Harry Kane, who also started, was on the bench. It has nothing to do with the opponent he is facing, Arsene Wenger is simply for tactical reasons.
But in the eyes of the media, this is to take care of Harry Kane's love, after all, he is a Tottenham youth product, and he has only been away from White Hart Lane for more than a month, and he must still have feelings for Tottenham
This match and Liverpool's Merseyside derby against Everton were regarded as the highlight of this round, with the match between Liverpool and Everton being placed at the beginning of the round and becoming the opener, while the match between Arsenal and Tottenham was placed at the end and became the finale.
I have to admire the FA's operational ability, and almost every round of games has something to watch.
The Merseyside derby ended in a 1-1 draw, although Liverpool were at home to arch-rivals Everton. But there are Champions League fixtures to come next week, although even at Anfield, the Reds and Liverpool have reservations.
After all, compared to entering the Champions League for the first time in many years, the Merseyside derby at least twice a year is less important, after all, this is not a "double red meeting"
The Red Devils stopped their decline in time to win at Old Trafford against London's Hammers West Ham United, a win in this game that was very important for Manchester United!
Despite the Champions League fixtures, the Blues went on a killing spree, beating Aston Villa cleanly 3-0 at Stamford Bridge, where poor Aston Villa faced back-to-back London doubles from Arsenal and Chelsea
Manchester City also lived up to expectations, with some ups and downs, but in the end they still beat Hull City 4-2.
The other big score came from two teams down the beaten side, with West Bromwich Albion beating promoted Burnley 4-0 at home.
When the results of all the matches are in, it will be the north London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham. The game started at 12:30 a.m. Beijing time, which was especially tricky for Arsenal and Li Zihan fans in China, as it was already early Monday morning
Chinese fans scolded the FA for not understanding the world at all, and this situation is obviously to schedule the Arsenal game at the opening of this round, and switch it with Liverpool, because Liverpool's game is at half past eight on Saturday night Beijing time, which is a prime time
Arsenal are playing in full force and Tottenham are certainly in full play, although they also have Europa League games.
The likes of Christian Eriksen, Lamela, Soldado, Mason, Dier and Danny Rose are all in the starting line-up.
"Nothing can stop us from starting the new season
Wright, Wright, Wright, is a qiē
Step into the wonderland that Bergkamp brings
Parol is the light that shines in our hearts

Come on Arsenal, you're the favourites to win the title
We're tired of hearing all the time: "We're going to score from now on!" ”
As the two sides played, the Arsenal fans at home began to sing their anthems, and since the release of Lee and his "Song of the King", Arsenal fans have spent more time singing Lee at the Emirates Stadium.
But on an occasion like today, it is obvious that singing the team song as soon as it comes up is more atmospheric!
