Chapter 23: Don't deal with it
There are a lot of ways for a new player to conquer the fans, and in addition to being consistent with his performances, it is also important to get a decisive performance in key games. Especially for the transfer bid king of a team like Xiao Qing, the fans' expectations for him are quite high, although Xiao Qing is performing well now, but Xiao Qing seems to have some more tasks to complete from completely conquering Arsenal fans.
For Xiao Qing, if he wins the league championship, it will undoubtedly be a success, and if he gets the Champions League trophy that is most lacking in Arsenal's honor room, Xiao Qing's status here will be greatly magnified; But those who seem to be relatively far away for the time being, and now Xiao Qing wants to quickly conquer Arsenal fans, the most important and intuitive thing is to achieve excellent performance in some key games.
The pinnacle duel with Manchester United and the match with Tottenham Hotspur, the sworn rival of north London, are all games that Xiao Qing can attract the attention of Arsenal fans quite quickly; And now Xiao Qing's opportunity has come, once he can defeat the defending champion Manchester United team who won three consecutive championships in this game, then Xiao Qing will undoubtedly be able to gain a firm foothold quickly. Especially in this game, Arsenal's main player is injured and absent, once Xiao Qing can win a decisive victory at this time, then Xiao Qing believes that he can get a tsunami-like cheer.
Therefore, in the game with Manchester United, Xiao Qing will go all out, and this is his unique opportunity to prove himself. And aside from conquering the fans, Fabregas is injured in this game now, so once Xiao Qing can carry the team forward in this game. Xiao Qing then believes he can become more important in Arsenal's tactical position. He will try hard to prove that he can be a good core.
Old Trafford is undoubtedly a top-notch course. In some ways, Arsenal's new Emirates Stadium may not be as good as this one. Arsenal have won just one of their last nine visits to Old Trafford, and the two sides have met 34 times in the Premier League, with Manchester United holding the upper hand with 13 wins, 11 draws and 10 defeats, including 9 wins, 5 draws and 3 defeats at home. It can be said that Arsenal really do not have any advantage in this stadium, especially in recent seasons, they have really been quite depressed here.
Although it seems that Arsenal have been inferior in the history of the competition in recent years, Arsenal's players are still very confident, because Arsenal has been in excellent form since the new season. Although they are now losing a series of big players in this game, there is no denying that the depth of Arsenal's squad is clearly better. As for Manchester United, although they may have a very good squad, Arsenal are still unusually confident.
In this game, Manchester United goalkeeper Forster; Defenders O'Shea, Brown, Nemanja Vidic and Patrice Evra; In midfield, Fletcher, Carrick, Valencia, Ryan Giggs and Nani; Single arrow Rooney.
Owen and Dimitar Berbatov were on the bench, with excellent strikers on the bench, plus Rio Ferdinand and Edwin van der Sar out injured. This also makes the attacking ability of Manchester United in this game may be affected to a certain extent; However, this does not mean that Arsenal can be careless, although it is only a single arrow of Chubby Rooney. However, Manchester United's midfield attacking ability is quite good; Especially after Cesc Fabregas is sidelined with injury in this game, Manchester United have a good chance of dominating the midfield.
Arsenal is naturally unreserved in this game, and Arsenal, who has enough time to rest, will do their best; goalkeeper Almunia; Defender line from right to left: Sania, Gallas, Vermaelen, Klich; Double-back Alexander Song, Denilson; attacking midfielders Dia and Arshavin; Twin strikers Xiao Qing and Robin van Persie.
Although the injury of Cesc Fabregas, the core of Arsenal's midfield, is undoubtedly a huge loss in this game, Xiao Qing and Van Persie have been given enough rest time, and they can ensure enough excellent fitness and form in this game; Although it may not be able to have some advantages in the midfield, but in the front, Arsenal is undoubtedly more confident.
Ignoring the boos from the audience, Xiao Qing led the caddie into the court with an expressionless face; As for the routine handshake between the players on both sides, Xiao Qing also seems to have done a good job, although they are competitors with Manchester United, but at least everyone is still doing a good job in terms of face.
Xiao Qing and Nani took a hand, and as for Rooney, who was standing next to Nani, Xiao Qing's face was even more expressionless; Wayne Rooney is undoubtedly a great striker, and the young chubby is even considered the best striker in England, especially after Cristiano Ronaldo left Old Trafford this season, Rooney has become the new leader of Manchester United.
Rooney's performance on the pitch is undoubtedly outstanding, and his achievements are quite remarkable; But this does not mean that Xiao Qing will respect Rooney, because Rooney was dismissive of Xiao Qing's performance in the war of words before this game. So since Rooney has no respect for Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing does not need to respect Rooney; And Xiao Qing believes that he is no worse than Rooney, Rooney may just become famous earlier than himself, or maybe it is just because Rooney is in England, where the media is developed.
Facing the outstretched hand of Rooney, who was also a poker face, Xiao Qing pouted his head and stretched out his hand, feeling his fingers touching Rooney's fingers, Xiao Qing withdrew his hand; Xiao Qing wiped his hands on the pants, and Rooney at this time also pouted and clapped his hands, although there was no contradiction between the two of them, it could be seen that they were very incompatible.
“haha! Look at Shaw and Wayne. Rooney's expression, they must have contradictions! Xiao Qing naturally knew that such a focus battle must have media attention, but he really didn't care; And Xiao Qing and Rooney's tacit understanding 'performance' also made Andy Gray, the commentator in the commentary seat, shout excitedly.
"Yes, guys, everyone can tell through the camera that they are really hostile to each other! Guys, believe me, the smell of gunpowder is already obvious, although there is no large-scale war of words before this game, but trust me, they will all teach each other a hard lesson in this game. "Andy Gray's host Richard? Keith was also excited.
'Shaw and Wayne are undoubtedly good strikers and I think everyone can understand what Wayne has achieved, so I don't need to say much about it. As for Shaw, he's great too; Although this is only the third season of Shaw's career, look at his performance; Bundesliga Golden Boot, Bundesliga Best Player; Bundesliga Golden Boot, Bundesliga Champions, Champions League Golden Boot! He's really great, even though Shaw has only had two full seasons, but that's a testament to his potential and ability; Now Shaw is in the Premier League at Arsenal but he's doing really well and he's comfortable here. "As Sky Sports' Premier League commentator, Andy Gray has always liked to have a big mouth, he likes to point out tactics, he likes to comment on players.
"As you may know, this game is also a contest between the two strikers; Cristiano is away from Manchester United and Cesc Fabregas will not be available for this game, so Shaw and Wayne will be in the spotlight! "If Xiao Qing knew about Gisi's comments, it would definitely be extremely unpleasant, because this has the feeling that the tiger is not in the mountain and the monkey is the overlord.
'yes, let us expect these two young players to perform, they must be eager to beat each other to death right away, and they both want to prove that they have what it takes to be even more hode players, or even the new best players in the Premier League. So now, they'll have a chance to prove themselves in this spotlight battle! Come on, boys, I'm optimistic about you! Andy Gray, this is obviously not a big deal to see the excitement, Andy Gray, who looks like a person who has come over, also began to get serious after seeing that the players on both sides were ready to kick off, because the big war was about to break out.
Arsenal opened the pitch after the pick, and although Fabregas, the core of the midfield, was lost in this game, Arsenal showed no panic, although Manchester United's midfield looked more dominant.
Arshavin undoubtedly took on more responsibility in the game, and as a versatile midfielder, Arshavin is actually good in the midfield position; Just three minutes into the game, Arshavin passed the ball, and Xiao Qing fired a low shot wide from 25 yards. Then Arshavin crossed from a free kick on the left twice, Xiao Qing's header was ferried, and Van Persie grabbed the point and shot was saved.
Arsenal were in good form from the start of the game, they still looked quite ferocious, and their red-hot attack in the league did not seem to have been affected too much by Cesc Fabregas's absence.
In the 10th minute of the game, Arsenal's ferocious attack caused an exclamation at Old Trafford; Xiao Qing used his active performance to make Manchester United fans understand that there is a possibility of falling in this territory that belongs to them, and where Manchester United clearly dominates, Arsenal is constantly closing the gap.
Arshavin split the ball, Diaby seized the opportunity to break through the middle with the ball; The retreating Xiao Qing received the ball with his back to the goal in front of the penalty area, although Manchester United defender Brown was firmly behind Xiao Qing at this time, but it didn't matter at all.
Xiao Qing lightly knocked the ball on his heel, and when Brown was shocked, Xiao Qing turned around; Although Brown, who reacted quickly, desperately wanted to chase back, Xiao Qing, who entered the penalty area, volleyed.
Xiao Qing's shot was quick and sudden, although the angle was not very awkward, but it was definitely a dangerous shot; Manchester United goalkeeper Forster made a full save, but in an instant the Old Trafford stadium was full of shocks; Because Xiao Qing's shot was very big, his save was out of his hand, and at this time, Van Persie quickly shot out and wanted to make up for it.
