257 Swing, Shoot!

"Sun is standing in front of the trophy again, the 19-year-old has already won a number of titles, and he will be ready to attack the next one. ”

Lined up on either side of the trophy, every player is hungry for that trophy, even if it's just a cup trophy.

The Community Shield, which has a history of more than 100 years, is not as well-known as the League Cup and less intense than the FA Cup, but as the opening game of the season, it has attracted more attention to some extent.

After the pre-match ceremony, the players from both sides stood on the pitch, the referee adjusted the time on his watch, and a whistle blew and the Community Shield began.

※※※

'With 10 minutes to go, the two teams were attacking fiercely, which inherited the feeling of the London derby.

"That's right, Martin, it's a derby we know from."

Sun Xiang took the ball in the middle, Iwobi on the left asked for the ball, and Sun Xiang distributed the ball to the left.

Against Cesar Azpilicueta's defence, Iwobi made a couple of feints before passing the ball back.

"Kante, watch out for that Chinese!" Sarri shouted anxiously from the sidelines.

Ten minutes into the game, Sun Xiang had already completed a lot of passes, and the Frenchman's defense could not contain Sun Xiang. Sun Xiang is like knowing in advance that he will be taken care of, so he didn't hold the ball too much today.

"Hey man, over here!" Xhaka asked for the ball near the centre circle and Kante's defence left him empty.

Xhaka picked up the ball in the middle and had a wide field of vision, and after dodging Jorginho, he sent in a long ball.

"Beautiful pass!"

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had a great performance in his last game and his good form continued this one.

'He's dangerous with the ball up front and it doesn't look like Alonso can keep him at bay.

"Come here and help!" Alonso wants someone to help him fill in the position behind him. The closest player to him at this time was N'Golo Kante, who defended Sun Xiang.

He didn't have time to hesitate because missing the best opportunity to defend could have irreparable consequences, so he decisively abandoned the task of defending Sun Xiang and went to Alonso's side to prevent Aubameyang from making the next move.

"It's their tactic!"

Maurizio Sarri shouted from the sidelines, but it was too late to say anything, and Sun Xiang was already unattended.

"Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang passed the ball back and it turned out that the transfer was just to pull away from the defending Sun's Kante, which was so unexpected!" Unai Emery actually used one side of the attack to attract defenders and buy time for Sun Xiang, which shows what position Sun Xiang occupies in this tactical system.

"Sun has the ball now, and there's no one in front of him!" Although it was only a brief out-of-position, it was enough for Sun Xiang to create an opportunity.

I saw that he suddenly started in the face of the incoming ball, and the instant acceleration allowed him to block Kante behind him.

In this case, the attacking player is often in absolute control, and it is difficult to get the ball back unless it is a foul.

However, Kante, known as the "world's No. 1 midfielder", does not think so.

There is no shortage of cases of the Frenchman who has been tough defensively and has managed to break the ball from behind, and interceptions from the blind spot of attacking players seem to have become his weapon.

"Watch behind you!" Behind him, Xhaka reminded him that he knew the horrors of this midfield.

[It's so close! 】

Sun Xiang couldn't help but curse secretly that he just ran in front of Kante in this way, but did not get rid of his defense.

At this time, while Sun Xiang was distracted, Kante suddenly stretched out a kick to break the ball.

"Did it work?"

"No, not really!"

Almost instantaneously knee-jerk reaction, Sun Xiang, who came back to his senses, pulled the ball down to the other side, and then knocked the ball back with his heel.

But Kante's body was already leaning over, dodging his outstretched feet, but not his body. Although he is only 1.68 meters tall, he does not suffer in physical confrontation.

After a stumbling game, Sun Xiang barely adjusted his centre of gravity and controlled possession, and he managed to avoid Kante's interception.

"Wonderful dodge!" The move drew cheers from Gunners fans.

"Did you see that? He's a superman! Alice shouted.

"yes, that's right." For Wang Jing, who often watches Sun Xiang's games on TV, these actions have become commonplace, but there is still an indescribable excitement to feel it so closely.

"A player who can react correctly in less than a second is called talent." Martin said.

"Yes, Sun has that talent. If you don't know what we mean by talent, then look at Sun's performance. ”

Sun Xiang, who adjusted his center of gravity, did not panic, he had already evaded an interception by Kante, so he still had an advantage psychologically, at least he would not be easy to kick next time. But this raises another problem.

Kante was back in front of him.

'He opted for the pass and it was a good choice.

Sun Xiang passed the ball to the wing, to Aubameyang.

Within seconds of Sun Xiang and N'Golo Kante, the clever Gabonese striker had pressed down on their back line.

Affected by Sun Xiang's escape from defense, Max Alonso also shifted his attention to Sun Xiang's side.

Although Rudiger helped with marking, he didn't dare to go too far from his defensive zone.

"Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, he's got a gap!"

The voices of the Arsenal fans on that side began to rise to the pitch.

Alonso is about to return to his position.

"Pierre!" Lacazette suddenly pulled out and met Aubameyang.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette made a wonderful one-two, and while passing the ball, Lacazette deliberately made the ball a little bigger, so that Aubameyang had enough time to fight for speed.

As long as it's time to fight for speed, the Gabonese will certainly not disappoint.

It only took a few steps for Aubameyang to shake off Alonso's half-body, which was enough for him to deliver a comfortable cross.

'Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is down, will this be an opportunity?'

Iwobi and Sun Xiang were in the box, with Xhaka waiting outside the box.

"Guard against Xhaka, leave it to me here!" David Luiz sent Kante to the outside of the box, which is his field, and he wanted to defend Sun Xiang.

Under the new system of the new season, Luis, who was once close to leaving, was suddenly reused and occupied the starting position.

'N'Golo Kante has left Sun, which seems to have gone beyond his defensive zone, but wouldn't that be a good option for a man to defend?' Martin Taylor said.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, meanwhile, crossed and, as Alan Smith said, was an opportunity.

The ball made a beautiful arc towards the back of the net before it spun out and left Kepa unable to attack.

Due to the sudden transfer of Courtois, Chelsea had to buy Spanish goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga for a record transfer fee.

"Kepa can't touch the ball! Let's see if we can get the defender cleared. ”

It seems that the ball landed very well, just between Sun Xiang and Iwobi, both of whom have the possibility of heading.

But David Luiz doesn't think so, and with a height of 190, he won't let them succeed.

I saw him leap high and intercept the trajectory of the ball.

But Luis, who earned the header, had a bad feeling because he cleared it too easily.

"Oops!"

What about Sun Xiang?

He didn't fight for the ball with Luiz, who was guarding him, which is why Luis was able to get the ball so easily.

“sun!?”

"When did he show up there?!"

As if he knew that Luis would be able to clear the ball, Sun Xiang ran outside the box as he jumped.

With everyone's attention focused on the flying ball, they forgot the person who shouldn't have been.

“sun!!!”

In front of the crowd, he was once again on the spot where the ball landed, once again swinging his threatening right foot.

"Oh my God, his judgment of the landing point is like a computer that calculates it accurately."

When the ball fell, he swung his leg quickly and kicked it steadily, and he was in an excellent position to eat the ball.

As usual, the ball fell so quickly as it got around the crowd in front of the defenders, and goalkeeper Kepa didn't even react as it slammed into the bottom edge of the crossbar.

After a brief silence, Wembley Stadium descended into madness!
