Chapter 568: Li Zihan received a "transfer notice? ”

With goals from Paul Pogba, Lee Zihan and Mesut Ozil, Arsenal beat last season's league champions Manchester City 3-0 at Wembley Stadium.

This is something that everyone did not expect, everyone originally thought that it was a strong dialogue, but in the end, they did not expect that the powerful Manchester City was pressed and beaten without a little temper.

After the tactical review of the "Emperor of the Ball" after the game, the factor that everyone summed up was Pellegrini's mistake in arranging the lineup. Although the powerful three-muscle midfield combination was able to effectively contain Arsenal's attack, it was also evident in the first half of the game.

But after Pogba opened the scoring with a long-range shot, that tactic didn't work. The right thing to do at this time would be to replace Keylor Navas with Bosnian centre-forward Dzeko instead of versatile midfielder Milner, because Yaya Toure has what Milner has and what he doesn't. So as long as Yaya Toure is liberated, this substitution is not necessary.

The second is Manchester City's center-back combination, Demichelis is not suitable to start Arsenal after being beaten by Li Zihan last season, maybe the young Mangala is a better choice, especially in the last five minutes Mangala table xiàn good.

There is also the fact that although Manchester City's midfield is strong defensively, it does not help on the offensive end, and Manchester City has been unable to open the situation for a long time.

The last point is that Arsenal's combination is really good, and all three of Arsenal's goals have been scored through guò.

To sum up the last point, Arsenal are too strong, five of their starting eleven are newcomers who have just joined the team this summer, but they are not at all unfamiliar with the operation of the team, as if they were a member of Arsenal before.

Here you can see Wenger's recruitment skills, Sanchez plays for Barcelona with a similar style to Arsenal, and he integrates into the team quickly at will. Pogba and Lars Bender are both highly talented technical players, especially Pogba, who learned a lot from Andrea Pirlo in two or three seasons at Juventus, and was also led by his friend Li Zihan.

As for Hwedes, he was the captain of Schalke 04, a Bundesliga powerhouse, and he has a strong understanding of tactics and the ability to read the game.

Arsenal were not without weaknesses, such as right-back Chambers, but City did not exploit that point to turn that into goals.

Arsenal won their first title of the season with a no-go battle, albeit a friendly one.

After the game against Manchester City, Arsene Wenger did not give the team a holiday. Although the season has not yet started, Arsenal's schedule is already tight.

After this game, Arsenal travel to the Welsh city of Cardiff in midweek for this season's UEFA Super Cup, where they will face La Liga powerhouse and Sevilla, winners of last season's UEFA Cup.

Then back next weekend, they have their first league game of the new season.

It's just a matter for the team, and for Arsene Wenger, he's also preparing the relevant materials for UEFA and the FA at the start of the season, as well as preparing for coaching staff meetings and so on

Speaking in front of the squad at Monday's plenary meeting, Arsene Wenger said: "Thomas [Vermaelen] and Mikel Mikel [Arteta] have left, so the captaincy and vice-captain positions remain vacant"

Now everyone understands that Wenger is going to decide the final choice of captain. As preparations for the new season began, Arsenal have yet to select a captain. Even in the previous Community Shield match against Manchester City, the captain's armband was worn by third captain Merdessatt.

Of course, everyone knows what to expect. Most of the captaincy belongs to German defender Merdersart. Because he has the qualifications, experience and leadership skills, and as the third captain, after the transfer of the captain and vice-captain, everyone thought he would come in as a substitute.

"So, I'm going to announce the third captain of the team," Wenger said, holding the information in his hand.

"Jack Wilshere!" Arsene Wenger has named a third captain.

This candidate is not very surprising. Because as an Arsenal academy player, the "prince" Wilshere occupies an important position at Arsenal, although he is not the core of the team now, Wenger has said that Wilshere is the future of Arsenal.

"Per Medsatt! Become the team's vice-captain! ”

There was an uproar at the bottom, but I didn't expect that the German central defender, who had the highest voice, only advanced to the first level in the end and did not become the captain.

So, who is the captain? This is the first thought on everyone's mind.

Wenger didn't play the UEFA game, he liked to hang his appetite, and he immediately read out the captain's name: "New captain, Lee Zihan!" ”

Phew

Everyone focused their eyes on Li Zihan's face.

Li Zihan did not hear Wenger's name clearly, because it is not very clear for foreigners to pronounce Chinese names. He saw that his teammates' eyes were focused on his neighborhood, and he thought that the captain was sitting with him.

He glanced at Rosicky on his right, but he saw that Rosicky was looking at his side.

Then he thought it was on the left, looked at Ramsey on the left, and saw that Ramsey was also looking at himself.

He looked left and right again, and finally saw that everyone was looking at him

Li Zihan was stunned, even a stupid person can understand the shape.

Li Zihan immediately widened his eyes and looked at Wenger. That's it--cute!

Wenger kept a straight face: "Look at what, you will be the captain of the team in the future." You have to take on the responsibility of captain and unite your teammates. Of course, you can also put forward any opinions now, but if you don't want to be the captain, I think you should not speak. ”

Li Zihan's eyes widened, and he found out for the first time that this stubborn, stubborn, and traditional French old man was so unreasonable, or cute!!

Everyone was very surprised by Li Zihan's captaincy, although Li Zihan's performance last season was not picky, and he was also a big contributor to the team's championship. But the position of the captain is special, he is not based on you scoring more goals, the captain is yours.

The captain is not a symbol of honor, but a responsibility!

Of course, everyone has no opinion on Li Zihan as the captain. Although most of the time the captain is played by the backfield players, such as the midfielders, defenders and goalkeepers. But at Arsenal, there are plenty of examples of attacking players up front as captains, such as former Nasri, Robin van Persie and Cesc Fabregas.

The teammates applauded and congratulated Li Zihan, and at the same time said that they had no opinion on Li Zihan's position as the captain.

Ignoring Li Zihan's staring eyes, Wenger went on to explain tactics and training plans.

In the afternoon, Arsenal's official website was updated with an announcement, which focused on the change of positions in the Arsenal team.

Like the Arsenal players, fans were very surprised by Li Zihan's captainship, they thought it was Merdsat or young midfielder Ramsey or even the captain of the "prince" Wilshire and the former Schalke 04, but they didn't think of Li Zihan.

Like the Arsenal players, they have no particular objection to this candidate, although surprised. It's just that many fans are worried that this will distract Li Zihan, make the young captain restless, and the guide is not good, which will affect Arsenal's overall results.

And some neutral fans have said that this is the rhythm of Arsenal's preparation to sell Li Zihan. The captain's armband of Arsenal "since ancient times" is synonymous with "transfer notice".

French defender Patrick Vieira became the captain of Arsenal, but in the summer of 05, Vieira transferred to the Serie A giants Juventus, which opened Arsenal's "selling captain" mode and began Arsenal's eight-year history without a title.

The man who took over the captain's armband from Patrick Vieira was still from France, with French striker Thierry Henry taking over the armband from Vieira. He led the Gunners to their first Champions League final in 2006, and it was short-lived, and in the 07-08 season, Thierry Henry and Arsenal joined Barcelona in the Cosmos.

Galla and Gilberto Silva then captained Arsenal, but they did not do well and eventually left Arsenal.

At the end of 2008, Spanish technical midfielder Cesc Fabregas became Arsenal's young captain, when he was only 21 years old. However, the transfer scandal has been uninterrupted with the talented midfielder, especially from his parent club Barcelona. In the end, Cesc Fabregas chose to return to Camp Nou and play for Barcelona.

Then there are Nasri and Robin van Persie, who now play for two teams in Manchester.

Finally, Belgian centre-back Vermaelen, although he was the captain of the team, did not perform well in the first two seasons, and finally left Arsenal this summer to move to Barcelona, where Thierry Henry and Cesc Fabregas had been.

Also this summer, vice-captain Mikel Arteta also left the club, joining La Liga giants Sevilla. Last season, Vermaelen had a poor performance and rarely played, and the captaincy on and off the pitch was basically vice-captain Mikel Arteta and third captain Merdessat.

Thinking of Arsenal's six-year-old captain, fans ridiculed that this was a "transfer notice" within Arsenal.

And there is an interesting law about the anecdote of the Arsenal captain.

Anyone who became Arsenal captain left shortly after, and where Arsenal captain joined, their manager left the following year.

In the summer of 2005, former Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira joined Juventus, and the following year Juve coach Fabio Capello left. In the summer of 2007, former Arsenal captain French striker Thierry Henry joined Barcelona, and the following year Barcelona coach Rijkaard left; In the summer of 2011, former Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas moved to Barcelona, and the following year Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola left; Former Arsenal captain Dutch striker Robin van Persie joined Manchester United in the summer of 2012 before Sir Alex Ferguson announced his retirement.

Thinking of the transfer of former Arsenal captain Vermaelen to Barcelona this season, many fans are ridiculing Barcelona's new head coach Enrique, maybe at the end of this season, Enrique will leave Barcelona

Of course, this law is not absolute. At least Nasri broke this rule by joining Manchester City in 2011, and the then Manchester City manager Italian coach Roberto Mancini left in 2013, which means that Mancini left in the third year after Nasri's transfer, and not the second year in the law
