Qin Xiong was the headline on Fleet Street the day after the Premier League's opening day.

He and Thierry Henry were key figures in Arsenal's opening to the sports page, with the Daily Mail headline: Breaking the Ground, China's new season opener shines all over the field.

The article commented on Qin Xiong's goal and his point, and the other two goals had his participation in the attack, and the two red cards that played an important turning point in the game were also related to Qin Xiong, he caused Janus to turn two yellows into one red, and Bowyer's red card for a foul in his penalty area left the field directly.

Last season, the media were amazed by Qin Xiong's assist ability, and occasionally "complained" that he was deliberately brushing assists, but he did not have direct assist statistics in the opening game, which made the media regret.

In the entertainment section, The Sun focused on Qin Xiong's and teammate Cesc Fabregas's gaffe in the casino.

"The Arsenal Twin Stars got carried away and lingered in the casino after the game!"

Based on what some casino guests saw, The Sun speculated that Qin Xiong might have been drunk at the time, apparently having an "unpleasant" affair with his girlfriend and Fabregas, until he was finally "dragged away" by his agent.

This also led to the promotion of the gambling characteristics of the Chinese in the international image of Fleet Street.

In any case, what happened at the casino is a scandal with little impact.

Qin Xiong himself did not respond to this, and at the Kearney training base, Wenger called Qin Xiong and Cesc Fabregas to the sidelines during training with concern and asked them about what happened in the casino.

Qin Xiong concealed some of the situation, and only promised Wenger that he would not go to the casino again, so that Wenger could rest easy.

Wenger couldn't bear to criticize Qin Xiong and Cesc Fabregas either. In the end, they didn't do anything too out of the ordinary.

Two days later. Arsenal have announced a new signing. Alexander Song is on loan from Bastia, and Arsenal has the right to buy, which is a practice that Arsenal deliberately strengthened the midfield this season after Vieira left, although the young Song certainly cannot achieve the same role as Vieira, and this is not the role that Arsenal can play with Flamini Song, Arsenal just hopes to make the squad not too thin.

Meanwhile. Chelsea also completed two one-in, one-out deals, Mourinhoro sent a new midfielder Essien, sent off Thiago who felt threatened in the main position, Chelsea's moves in the summer are still extremely impressive, they spent more than 50 million pounds to bring in six players, plus Crespo and Carlton Cole returned on loan, the first team added eight men, excluding more than 10 players led by Kezman and Parker, more than half of whom were released by the second team.

Arsenal got off to a good start to the league and rested for a week. In the second round of the Premier League, Arsenal went to west London in good spirits. Coming to Stamford Bridge!

The London Giants have come so early this season and seem to be an uninterrupted continuation of last season's war.

For the first time in the league, Arsenal's strategy of attacking and defending away will be implemented.

Jose Mourinho couldn't wait to give the defending champions a kick down and in his pre-match press conference, he described Arsenal as a club with no ambitions.

'After winning the league and sending away the champion-level player Patrick Vieira and buying in one or two players with potential, Arsenal went into a cycle that we were used to, developing young players and getting some results before stopping.

Arsene Wenger responded bitterly to Mourinho's comments.

'Chelsea have spent more than £150 million in the last three seasons and then what have they gained? Was it a success? I am puzzled by what some people have to say. ”

In the post-Vieira era, whether Arsenal has adjusted to its best condition is just a chaotic Newcastle United that cannot be verified, while Chelsea is stable and strong.

In the players' tunnel, Qin Xiong could observe that the Chelsea players seemed to have monstrous killing intent!

Naturally, they were not reconciled, and last season's near-perfect performance was only relegated to runner-up, which may have made their holidays a little depressed.

The most tragic runner-up is certainly not as dazzling and rewarding as the toughest champion.

The pent-up anger in the hearts of the Chelsea dictators has finally reached an outlet.

They are excited to meet Arsenal in the second round of the new Premier League!

Arsenal, on the other hand, are the winners of last season, so they should put on a high profile and take their opponents seriously, but they must also have the consciousness of a strong man.

Players from both teams began to enter the field.

"The London derby at Stamford Bridge in the second round of the Premier League is the highlight of this round, and it has even attracted a lot of attention in Europe, people want to see the table of Arsenal and Chelsea in the direct confrontation, last season Arsenal won the championship thrillingly, Chelsea unfortunately won the runner-up with the highest score in history, today, Chelsea have a chance to get revenge! Chelsea handed Arsenal a big rout in the Community Shield just two weeks ago and at neutral ground, and today at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea may have an easier win with home advantage, but Arsenal will certainly learn their lesson, so let's take a look at the starting line-ups for both sides.

Chelsea 433.

Goalkeeper: Cech.

Defenders: Ferreira, Terry, Carvalho, Gallas.

Midfielders: Essien, Lampard, Makelele.

Forwards: Robben, Drogba, Joe Cole.

Arsenal 451.

Goalkeeper: Lehmann.

Defenders: Lauren, Toure, Campbell, Ashley Cole.

Midfielders: Ljungberg, Cesc Fabregas, Qin Xiong, Silva, Pire.

Striker: Thierry Henry.

Well, the London derby, the big battle between the two strongest teams in the Premier League last season is about to begin, what will be the result? Let's wait and see! ”

The game got under, with Arsenal kicking off first.

Thierry Henry played the ball to Qin Xiong, who fed it back to Cesc Fabregas and he began to run sideways in midfield, looking for space while watching Chelsea's posture after the kick-off.

Although Didier Drogba rushed forward to press, most of Chelsea's players were still dragging in the midfield and did not rush forward, choosing to compress their own half of the space to contain Arsenal's attack.

Cesc Fabregas, Ljungberg, Qin Xiong made a direct triangle pass, and then Qin Xiong passed the ball to Pire, who cut inside from the wing, and Pire quickly passed the ball to Henry before encountering Essien.

Henry shoots straight from 35 yards from goal!

The football flew into the stands at a height of about a meter above the crossbar.

Thierry Henry's shot turned and walked back, and the Arsenal midfielder quickly stepped back.

Mourinho watched Arsenal's first sloppy end on the sidelines, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart! (To be continued......)
