Thank you for your support! ――

1:4

An extremely embarrassing score for the Premier League and FA Cup doubles.

While Arjen Robben was roaming around Arsenal's half, Qin Xiong and Thierry Thierry had to face Chelsea's tight layers of defence in tight spaces.

But as far as one game goes, Arsenal may not lose if they do their best, but in the middle of a season, you can't do it if you want to give it your all in a particular game.

Injuries, form, fitness, morale, fixtures and other intricate factors can interfere with the changes in the strength of the team.

When Jose Mourinho ordered Chelsea to focus more defensively, Arsenal's attack looked weak, with Ferreira and Gallas inside, and the back line filled the penalty area, and the crosses were almost empty, and Arsenal could only shake the opposition goal with guò long-range shots.

Chelsea, on the other hand, were quick to move forward after a successful defence, leaving them to their frenzied wingers to storm Arsenal's defence.

There is also the unstoppable Frank Lampard in the rapid forward insertion, his forward insertion looks more threatening than Qin Xiong's forward insertion, which may also be taken for granted, Lampard has more space to insert forward, and there must be more space to insert forward than Qin Xiong.

Had it not been for Lehmann's last-minute saves from Frank Lampard and Joe Cole's threatening shots, Arsenal's community shield would have been beaten into a sieve by Chelsea's counter-attack!

"The game is over, congratulations to Chelsea for winning the Community Shield with a 4-1 win over Arsenal, who did not show the style of a Premier League title. They only have occasional flashes. Chelsea have shown a certain championship appearance! It can be said that they beat Arsenal completely. They have more shots on goal than Arsenal in terms of the number of shots they have on goal and threatened attacks, and the new season is about to begin, and if Arsenal go into the new season in their current form, not many believe they can defend their title again. There wasn't much time left for Arsene Wenger. ”

Standing on the pitch after the game waiting for the award, Qin Xiong stood on the pitch with his hands on his hips, and the game exposed many problems, and the reality is that Chelsea continued last season's steady dìng. Arsenal, on the other hand, have had a devastating effect due to the departure of Patrick Vieira, a mainstay in midfield.

Cesc Fabregas can't match Patrick Vieira defensively, and that's not an independent influence.

It is not as simple as a change in the strength of a player, it will have a huge linkage effect on the overall situation, especially in the top competition, the weakness of one point will allow the opponent to take advantage of it and find opportunities in other points to form an all-round advantage.

Losing the Community Shield is nothing, but it may be time for Arsenal to face reality.

There is another point that Qin Xiong is worried about.

Freddie's status issues are starting to come to the fore within the team.

Even though he made a great contribution to Arsenal last season, if his status has not changed, he has never been taken more seriously by this team on the pitch.

Other words. If Thierry Henry had started today, Hleb would have played two wings with Reyes. They will inevitably be concerned about Henry's existence and serve Henry wholeheartedly.

If Qin Xiong has Henry's status, even if it is inferior and higher than ordinary teammates, he will get more support from other teammates in the game and play around him.

This is not Qin Xiong's arrogance, he has been working hard for a season to prove that he is stronger than Reyes, Van Persie, and has a greater role in the team!

The Arsenal squad watched Chelsea lift the Community Shield with a bad look before they left the Millennium Stadium.

On the train back to London, Qin Xiong came to Wenger's side and said his demands straight to the point.

"BOSS, I want to play a more important role in the new season, Thierry is a world-class striker who has been famous for a long time, he has won the European Golden Boot for two years in a row, whether in the league or in the Champions League, he will be more closely marked by opponents, the team needs new scoring points, I think I improved my scoring ability last season, I need the support of the team to make the team have a more stable second scoring point."

Qin Xiong is straightforward and honest when he thinks about it, and he never hides the discussion in the professional field.

Looking back at the development of his career in the past two years, his role has changed, from a central midfielder to a central midfielder, and then from a traditional midfielder to a number nine and a half.

Few media outlets compare him to Zidane, but more often refer to him as the second Baggio, also at the end of his career Bergkamp, but he has a wider range of activities, and once he retreats to central midfield, he can also play the technical characteristics of the global organization.

Wenger, who was obviously preoccupied, stared at Qin Xiong seriously, he was happy in his heart, and a disciple was willing to come to discuss football with him, which meant that the disciple's energy was focused on his work and he cared about the future of the team.

He saw Qin Xiong's firm and sharp eyes, which were obviously aggressive, a wild demand, an ambition to actively plunder resources to achieve self-fulfillment!

Arsene Wenger suddenly said: "The problem we have now is that after losing Patrick, we don't have the best defensive quality in Europe. ”

There is no doubt about this, and Qin Xiong also understands the reason.

A top-tier defensive combination requires at least a strong back four, and then at least one full-time defender.

The problem that plagues Arsenal is that when the full-backs assist, the backline becomes unstable, and it needs two midfielders to flexibly fill in the defense, and now Cesc Fabregas is mostly too busy to take care of himself, let alone help defence, and he also needs teammates to help defend his area.

Qin Xiong was silent, he only knew a simple fact, a fact that he and Wenger and many teammates tacitly knew.

If Arsenal had taken on last season's more aggressive attacking style of play to prepare for the new season, they would likely replicate last season's Manchester United: they lost the league title in the first three months of the new season!

This is not alarmist or unfounded.

If it was the previous Premier League era, it would be fine, Arsenal can have room for improvement, Cesc Fabregas just needs some time to adapt to the main team, everyone is full of confidence in him, he can get better and better, after all, in terms of age, he has great potential and upside, as the game is played more and more, Arsenal's overall strength will pick up.

But the problem is that the current Premier League competition is too cruel!

Last season, Arsenal were tied with Chelsea in the title, conceding just 17 points from 38 games!

If they lose three or four games in the first three months of the season, and draw a few more, Arsenal will have almost said goodbye to the title.

The imminent issue is a dilemma: can Arsenal afford to maintain their tactics at the expense of the title?

Winning the Premier League for the second year in a row, Arsenal have become the target of public criticism, and their opponents will not want to take points from Arsenal, which represents an alternative victory, and the sense of accomplishment of taking advantage of the title will be far more than ordinary!
