Arsenal's warm-up games before the start of the new season and the Emirates Cup were generally good, although the opponents in these games were generally not strong, but for Arsenal it was nothing at all. These weaker opponents also give Arsenal more room to play, and they can also make the Gunners more likely to find the rhythm of the game in the game.

In warm-up matches such as the Emirates Cup, the Emirates Stadium also welcomed the return of their former kings.

Arsenal's match against the New York Red Bulls is the first time that the Emirates Cup has invited a team from North America, and its intention is self-evident: to invite the former King Highbury to the Emirates Stadium!

Do you remember that he leaned on Dennis Owen to pick up the ball and burst into a volley under the close pressure of Manchester United's iron guards, and the ball pierced Butters' ten fingers like a rainbow through the sun; Do you remember that he received Vieira's long pass, and after unloading the ball in his thigh, he directly pulled out his foot and shot angrily, the ball was like a cannonball, hanging directly in the corner of the goal, and England international James could only look at the ball and sigh; Do you remember that he played a thousand miles in the north London derby, sprinting from his own back, breaking through three consecutive blocks and scoring to defeat Tottenham Hotspur, a century-old rival

Too many memories, too many feelings, and now, turned into a common voice, all over the stands of the Emirates Stadium, those fan-made banners all have the same sentence written on them: "Welcome Home!" Welcome home, Thierry Henry!

In the pre-match warm-up, the live announcer broadcast the starting lists of both sides, and the name "Thierry Henry" fell on Zuihou, and the words just fell. The audience burst into applause and cheers like a tsunami. It can be as long as a minute. Subsequently. When the main players of both sides officially entered the players' tunnel, the fans in the stadium stood up collectively and gave a long applause again, if not for anything else, but because of the person in the lead, named Thierry Henry!

Although Henry did not help Arsenal win the Champions League, although Xiao Qing has achieved incomparable brilliance at Arsenal in the past two seasons; But in the eyes of Arsenal fans, there is still a gap between Xiao Qing and Henry.

"Arsenal will always be in my blood. Forever in my heart, I will always miss you. I said I would be a gunslinger for the rest of my life, and I didn't lie, because you were a gunslinger for one day and a gunner for life. Arsenal FC is still in my heart and will always be there. He said this four years ago when Thierry Henry moved to Barca. Today, although things are different, he and Arsenal still love each other. Even though there was anger. There have been disappointments, but these are temporary. Only love is eternal, perhaps, this is the meaning of "home......

Henry was the king of Arsenal because he helped Arsenal create a glorious period; Although Xiao Qing is doing a very good job here, Xiao Qing is only in his third season here, and if he wants to completely surpass Henry's status, sometimes it is really not just the number and weight of champions. Although Xiao Qing is the number one player in the current team, if he wants to become the greatest player in Arsenal's history, Xiao Qing still needs to continue to work hard.

There is nothing to be jealous of, this is the courtesy that Henry deserves; Thierry Henry has had great brilliance and success here, and he has brought a period of great glory and success to Arsenal. Although Henry did not win the Champions League here, it was also during Henry's time that Arsenal truly became the top giants in Europe. It can be said that many Arsenal fans are Henry's fans now, and he represents a golden age for Arsenal, and Xiao Qing is no exception.

If Xiao Qing leaves the stadium one day, if Xiao Qing will return to Arsenal one day, Xiao Qing believes that he can also get crazy cheers from the fans in the stadium, because he has also created a brilliant achievement here, because here Xiao Qing helped Arsenal reach a new peak.

The new season is about to begin, and this warm-up game is also a very meaningful game; Not only because of the return of Arsenal's former kings, but also because of the official handover of Arsenal's royal power.

Although Xiao Qing and Henry met in the game here, Henry at that time was a direct competitor of Arsenal, and Xiao Qing was not the absolute core of the team at that time. And now, Xiao Qing has established his position in the team, and Henry has also left the top league.

Now Xiao Qing has become the absolute core of the team, and he has also achieved very good results here; And Xiao Qing has now become the vice captain of the team, and he has officially become the leader of the team. So now the encounter with Thierry Henry at the Emirates Stadium is also a handover of power between the best players who have brought supreme honour to Arsenal, the legacy of an Arsenal king.

"Listen to the cheers of the fans, you really should come back here." Because Arsenal and the New York Red Bulls do not have a direct rivalry, the players are still very relaxed and friendly; Xiao Qing was also smiling and chatting with Henry, although the game was about to start, but such a warm-up game really didn't have so many reasons for fierce confrontation.

'I always knew I was a Gunners and I had Arsenal red in my vein. But now that I'm thirty-four years old, I can't continue to play well. So I left Arsenal and I wanted to leave the fans with a perfect image. "Henry is also a little sad, he knows the fans' love for him, and he also knows his concern for Arsenal, but now that he is back at Arsenal, Henry really feels very unrealistic.

Thierry Henry wants to leave the perfect impression on Arsenal fans, leaving the best of his years at Arsenal; His love for Arsenal is still hot, but he really can't find a reason to return to Arsenal now, because he feels that the current Arsenal doesn't need himself at all, the current Arsenal has no place of its own, and Arsenal can perform better without him. Henry's biggest regret at Arsenal is that he did not win the Champions League, and now after he left, Arsenal has won two Big Ears Cups in a row, and Arsenal has created new glory. Arsenal will certainly continue to be competitive enough for the new season, and they can still perform well.

However, for Henry, there is no place for him in the team now, he cannot continue to play well enough, and the help he brings to the team is really limited; He knew that his time had passed, and now it was the world of young people. Xiao Qing is doing a good job here, and Henry doesn't think he can perform better than Xiao Qing.

'The last time you came to the Emirates Stadium you said we won the Champions League and you'd definitely come back, and now we've done it, we've defended it. So now it's time for you to keep your promise, and trust me, the fans will be looking forward to your return and the help you can bring to the team. Of course, Xiao Qing hopes that Henry can come back, and he also believes that Henry can bring enough help to the team, Arsenal's strength is good, but it is not perfect; Maybe Henry is not at his peak now, but he is in the Arsenal lineup, and the Gunners will be more confident and will have an excellent leader.

"I'll definitely come back if I get the chance, but convince that stubborn old guy that he probably doesn't think Arsenal have a place for me now, he definitely thinks it's better without me, I'm not here and he's won two Champions Leagues in a row!" Henry was silent for a moment, he really wanted to return to Arsenal, but many times things were not exactly as he expected, Henry knew that it was really too difficult for him to return to Arsenal. 'Shaw, I'd really like to come back here and I hope to be able to lift the Champions League trophy for the Arsenal fans, which I owe them. Although Arsenal already have the Champions League trophy, I don't have an explanation for those lovely fans. ”

'I'm sure you'll be able to come back here and you can help the team a little bit more.' Xiao Qing laughed, he also knew that this might be some of his own fan mentality, but he really hoped that Henry could come back here; Maybe Henry is no longer in peak form, but it doesn't matter, Henry can definitely help the team and help Arsenal reach a higher level.

The new season is about to start, and there is really a lot to do for this Arsenal team now; It's going to be a tough season and they're looking forward to doing better and they're looking forward to success. Although the process may be a little tough, Arsenal are definitely not worried, not worried about their results in the competition, not worried about them being able to be the victors of Zuihou.

Xiao Qing is not afraid of challenges, and Xiao Qing is not worried about the team's performance in the new season; It's their own business for the opposition to reinforce and what Arsenal need to do is maintain their form and the Gunners need to play at their best in the new season. As long as Arsenal can play their game, and as long as their players are not overly proud and underestimated by the success of the past two seasons, then they can certainly guarantee success in the new season.

The new season is a challenge for Xiao Qing, he is now the leader of the team, he needs to perform better in the game, he needs to take on more responsibility, and he needs to reach a new peak with the team in the new season. (To be continued......)
