'I'm sure it's a game that everybody is looking forward to, and I mean it's certainly not just Londoners.'

"That's for sure, Martin, as long as there's a derby, there's never a lack of highlights."

'Hopefully the two London teams can set an example for the upcoming league game, which is a Mars vs. Earth contest."

After three months, Martin Taylor and Alan Smith sat in the broadcast commentary box again. It can be seen that they can't hide the excitement in their hearts.

'We've just got our pre-game starts, so guess what the difference will be from Allan.'

'A change in manager. Neither side of the squad made much of a move, with Chelsea putting a price tag of $200 million on the star Eden Hazard, which was enough to scare the teams that were eyeing him, and Arsenal had a lot of players to leave, but it didn't have much effect on the starters. So it's just that the managers of both teams have changed. Alan Smith said fluently, and it seems that he already knows this well before the game.

Maurizio Sarri has become Chelsea's new manager, with the 60-year-old Italian having been in charge of Napoli until then. At a time when Napoli's results were becoming more prominent, the Blues officially threw an olive branch to him. The Premier League giants proved to be more appealing, with Maurizio Sarri eventually landing at the Bridge.

"This is the biggest news of the month!" It's about Maurizio Sarri's arrival.

However, just a few days later, the news was stolen by another Italian team. That is Juventus, who have just signed Cristiano Ronaldo, a superstar.

Subsequently, after the news of Ronaldo's transfer was gradually accepted, Real Madrid, which had just lost its striker, publicly expressed its love for Sun Xiang, even though he was a midfielder.

But now, the situation has calmed down, and Sun Xiang is sure to stay at Arsenal and he will complete his contract.

"But actually, I'm talking about letting you guess the list I have." Martin shook the starting list in his hand and told his partner that this was the key.

While Alain was right, it didn't seem to be what Martin was trying to say.

"Then I don't know, you're the first person you see, I'm just listening to your description. But I don't think much has changed. Alan Smith said.

"Then you're wrong Alain, in fact, before I got this list, I thought the same. Despite being in the transfer window, that won't stop the manager from putting more thought into arranging 11 men. In fact, this list is a little different from what I think, at least I didn't see Sun in the starters. ”

"What?!" Alan Smith exclaimed.

Pre-match ......

"Sun, are you feeling better?"

"That's a good reply, I think I'll be able to play."

Sun Xiang suddenly had a high fever last night, and although the fever had subsided on the day of the game, the sudden physical changes would still make him a little struggling.

"Put on your vest, you substitute today, we can't take too many risks, it's not an important league."

As the star of the team, it's a shame not to play, but the coach understands that it's definitely not a risk.

Sun Xiang nodded, he understood the coach's intentions.

"According to the understanding, Sun seems to have some physical discomfort and he will be on the bench, which does not affect his playing."

"It seems that the fans who like him can rest assured."

Sun Xiang was not on the field, and the captain of Arsenal's side was Ramsey, and he was also the player who replaced Sun Xiang as the starter in this game.

'Aaron Ramsey is a very technical player but the arrival of Sun has forced him to step aside.

Looking at the list in his hand, Martin said.

※※※

Soon after, the game began, with players from both sides guided into the pitch by their respective captains, with Chelsea star Eden Hazard wearing the captain's armband for the first time in the seven years since the Belgian joined the club.

'Eden has been named captain of Maurizio Sarri's side for the new season and Chelsea have done everything they can to keep the Belgian star.

After the pre-match ceremony, Chelsea, who were the first to kick off, showed their desire to win.

In the 10th minute of the game, Hazard got a long pass from Cesc Fabregas on the right and broke through and changed direction, shook Lichtsteiner and shot directly with his right foot, and the ball flew off the post.

"Oh, that's a shame!"

'Eden Hazard's shot was narrowly off!'

"He could have done better!"

The shot also drew a sigh from the crowd, and Chelsea fans thought it was a must-have goal.

"The new captain is very strong in his quest to win, so it looks like it's going to be a good game. The only fly in the ointment is Sun's absence. Hopefully the second half will see the two captains talking to each other directly. ”

Eight minutes later, as the game was about to enter the 20th minute, Chelsea unsurprisingly got on the scoresheet.

Eden Hazard won the ball on the familiar left and dribbled laterally, and in the face of the duo of Xhaka and Ramsey, Cesc Fabregas slotted the ball into the far corner with a beautiful arc, and goalkeeper Petr Cech could only look at the ball and sigh.

“goooooal！ Brilliant goal! Cesc Fabregas! Once again, he proved himself outside the box! ”

'Cesc Fabregas is not a player known for his explosive shots, like it's hard to see him tackling everything with explosive shots from outside the box. This has been even more rare since his arrival at the Blues. Now facing his old club, the Spaniard said it all with his goals! ”

Fabregas did not celebrate after the goal, opting to walk back into the pitch in silence and simply high-five his team-mates in celebration.

Sitting on the edge of the stands, watching his idol score a wonderful goal, Sun Xiang's mood was complicated.

In the end, the first half ended 1-0 with Chelsea back into the dressing room with a one-goal lead.

In the second half, the two sides still did not make substitutions, and the original team fought against each other until the 60th minute of the game, when Xhaka, the core of the midfield, was brought down by Kante in front of the opponent's penalty area.

"It's clearly a yellow card!" Ramsey complained.

Xhaka, who was tackled to the ground, was in great pain, clutching his ankle and shaking his hand.

"The team doctor is coming in!"

Under the call, the team doctor hurried to Xhaka's side to check.

"It's time for a change."

After a brief analysis, although there was no major problem, this time Xhaka could not continue to complete the task for the next half hour.

"No way." Emery sighed, "Sun, adjust it, it's time for you to go up and perform." ”

"You don't need to force it, just a moderate amount. Also, you take a free kick for a while. ”

※※※

"Now in the 62nd minute, Sun came off the bench to replace the Swiss international Xhaka, who couldn't hold on, will this be the turning point of the game?" Martin Taylor excited.

"Oh look, Sun came straight to the ball as soon as he came on the pitch, is he going to take this free kick from a good distance?"

"It seems to be the coach's arrangement." Alan Smith said.

After a brief discussion, Ramsey, who was standing in front of the ball, left his position, and Lacazette on the side also left, and now Sun Xiang is the only one in front of the ball.
