Qin Xiong was interviewed by the Chinese media only to talk about the feeling of the game, and when asked about the delay in renewing his contract with Arsenal, he said: "I will leave the renewal of the contract to the agent to discuss, I believe that this matter will be concluded soon, and I still have two years of contract with Arsenal, so there is no need to worry at all." ”

His statement is normal, and it also represents what he thinks in his heart.

He always believed that Arsenal would meet his requirements, and at this stage, he was not over-inflated to the first place in the world, but had a bottom line: as long as he was not naïve to replace Henry, then his renewal conditions were reasonable as long as they were lower than Henry.

After the game, he, Cesc Fabregas and Robin van Persie returned to London to sit in a nightclub, relax for a while and then go home to rest.

The next day, Fleet Street released a war report, and the "Daily Telegraph" gave Qin Xiong this evaluation: The lubricant of the arsenal!

"Qin Xiong proved that he is a good assistant next to Henry last season, he set a record of Premier League assists at the same time, but also let Henry win the European Golden Boot award, this season Arsenal's biggest focus is Vieira's successor, this candidate has surfaced, the young Spanish midfield talent Fabregas, in the days when Fabregas became the main force, we see more and more Qin Xiong's positive influence on Fabregas, he makes Henry better, and also makes Fabregas play beyond imagination, My conclusion is that Qin Xiong will have a heavy impact on these two players on the central axis, and if I want to overturn my conclusion, then we have to expect what will happen to Henry and Cesc Fabregas in Qin Xiong's absence. ”

Two days later. The new season of the Champions League has begun. Wednesday evening. Arsenal host Swiss Premier League champions Thun.

Stimulated by the recent five-game winning streak in the league, Arsenal's offensive and defensive system has begun to work well, especially Cesc Fabregas, who has successfully gained a foothold with the help of Qin Xiong, which has improved Arsenal's midfield control in Europe.

The offensive impact of the Thun team is not strong, Arsenal is relatively easy to gain a foothold at home, and in breaking the dense defense, Qin Xiong broke through in the first half to create a foul by the opponent's defender and won a penalty, and Henry scored in one fell swoop. In the second half, Reyes drove a corner kick to create chaos, and the football that rolled out of the periphery was scored by Silva from a distance, and Arsenal then dominated the game to avoid excessive consumption, and won the Champions League group stage 2-0 at home.

The sixth round of the Premier League arrives at the weekend, with last season's fourth-placed Everton coming to Highbury under David Moyes to challenge defending champions Arsenal.

Arsenal's recent injury strategically abandoning the Carabao Cup, coupled with a clear restrain in style compared to last season's aggressiveness, the team's physical consumption has been well controlled, and the team's confidence has been boosted by repeated wins. It makes the whole team of Arsenal like a rainbow.

Arsene Wenger has also been praised by the outside world for making good use of the resources at his disposal. In fact, people are more like seeing Arsenal collapse, just waiting for the moment to appear, and then falling into the ground.

It rained lightly in England today.

Qin Xiong and his teammates walked into the stadium in the light rain, and the stands were full of enthusiasm.

Moyes walked into the arena with an unnatural flutter in his heart for some reason.

He seemed to be reminded of the crushing defeat here in the closing stages of last season, a humiliating heavy defeat, and perhaps only the final result of fourth place in the league did not put him nailed to the shame post and spurned by the Everton fans, who were unlucky enough to qualify for the Champions League only to fall to Villarreal in qualifying.

Who can guarantee that players like Phil Neville, Simon Davies, Arteta and other powerful players will not transfer to Everton if they have the opportunity to participate in the Champions League, but the team has not been able to set foot in the Champions League, which must be a mental blow.

'It's not a good day, it's going to be a big game for Arsenal and Everton in the cold rain, it's a stadium with nightmares that Everton don't want to recall, they were slaughtered by eight goals here last season, Moyes will be more pragmatic today, right? Hehe, his arrangement seems to reveal this.

Arsenal started 451.

Goalkeeper: Lehmann.

Defenders: Eboue, Toure, Senderos, Flamini.

Midfielders: Reyes, Fabregas, Qin Xiong, Silva, Pire.

Striker: Thierry Henry.

Everton started 451.

Goalkeeper: Martin.

Defenders: Hibbert, Jabbo, Weir, Piston.

Midfielders: Davies, Arteta, Cahill, Phil Neville, Osman.

Forward: Beattie. ”

On a rainy day, the pitch is slightly slippery, which may look even more bad for a team like Arsenal who play ground passes, but it is not good for Everton either.

Everton, in particular, came to the stadium with a psychological shadow.

Last season's disastrous defeat was a nightmare that lingered on the minds of many of their players.

New signing Mikel Arteta may not feel that way, while Davies was beaten by Arsenal in the past at Tottenham Hotspur, so he naturally has lingering feelings about Arsenal.

Qin Xiong and Cesc Fabregas teamed up to control the midfield after the game began, and they passed the ball quickly, and their keen insight allowed Arsenal to always deliver breathtaking through balls as they pushed forward.

They find open spaces, use open spaces, reduce personal dribbling, strengthen off-ball running, and intersperse forward levels of order.

Wenger's key players since the new season are Reyes, Hleb, Van Persie and other players, rather than Qin Xiong, because Qin Xiong is mature enough in Wenger's eyes.

Reyes, on the other hand, seems to have "resigned himself to his fate" and began to act willingly as a green leaf for the team, he no longer showed himself too much, and his tendency to create opportunities for Qin Xiong and Henry was even stronger.

In the 14th minute of the game, Qin Xiong came to Arteta with the ball in front, he crossed the ball to Pire on the left side, and then diagonally behind Arteta, Arteta realized that he had to turn around and defend Qin Xiong, but Qin Xiong skillfully blocked his accelerated retreat line, which made him very uncomfortable.

Pire passed the ball diagonally in front of Qin Xiong, Qin Xiong leaned his back against Arteta and flicked the ball horizontally before directly hitting the long shot!

The ball slammed into Everton's goal and goalkeeper Martin lifted the ball over the crossbar.

On rainy days, Qin Xiong reduced his personal breakthroughs and focused on passing and cutting, after all, slippery fields are more likely to make mistakes in emergency stops and speed breakthroughs.

Qin Xiong took a deep breath after the shot, Arteta who passed by him carefully observed Qin Xiong's expression, he heard Qin Xiong's ability in the Scottish arena, and felt great pressure when he came to the Premier League for the first time.

Qin Xiong walked past him without squinting, ready to participate in the corner kick attack. (To be continued......)
