Arsenal remain second in the table after this round of fixtures, with Tottenham Hotspur picking up three points from a win over Hull City and levelling fourth-placed Manchester United with the battle for a top-six finish.

Compared with the league, Arsenal's situation in the Champions League is very clear, they have already confirmed their qualification in advance, and now they only need to compete with Wolfsburg behind them for the first and second places in the group. And this key battle, just four days later, Arsenal away to the Volkswagen Athletic, if they can win, then they will directly lock up the first place in the group, and then it will be up to Atletico Madrid and Juventus in Group A.

On November 26, 2018, Wolfsburg, the automotive city of northern Germany, celebrated a memorable moment.

Their former prince, the sun of Wolfsburg, has returned to his homeland.

Outside the Volkswagen Arena in Wolfsburg, giant posters of Sun Xiang were decorated, and fans spontaneously pulled up banners in the stands inside the stadium to welcome Sun Xiang's arrival.

"Hey man, how have you been?" On the way out of the players' tunnel, Sun Xiang was stopped by a voice.

Hinds walked out of the aisle next door with a training vest.

Both of them have a lot to say when they see their old friends, especially Heinz. He also grew a lot last season with Sun Xiang, and now he can become the main rotation of Wolfsburg, and is striving for the goal of the main team.

"Not long ago, I saw news that there was a problem with your state, is it that my old partner is not around and can't find the feeling?" Hinds was as humorous as ever.

"It's not really, it's better that I'm glad I'm not there, and I'm a little too excited." Sun Xiang said with a smile.

"You guy! I still can't speak like that! After that, Hinds put his arms around Sun Xiang's neck and made a gesture to kill him.

At this time, other players from Wolfsburg also walked over from the players' tunnel one after another, and saw Sun Xiang at the door coming forward to greet them one by one.

When Sun Xiang saw the first coach of his career smiling towards him, the bits and pieces of memory began to condense, and his nose was inexplicably sour.

"Sun, don't come unharmed." Schmidt caressed Sun Xiang's head affectionately, just like before.

"Coach ......" Sun Xiangqiang held back tears and hugged him hard.

"We won't show mercy today, get ready."

"We're coaches too."

In the face of such an opponent, Sun Xiang naturally has to do his best, which is the best reward for his old club.

In this game, according to Arsene Wenger's instructions, Sun Xiang is still playing as a striker, with Alexandre Lacazette behind him, as in the last league game.

After a few words, the master and apprentice both walked out of the players' tunnel. And inside the stadium, there are even bigger surprises waiting for him.

"Now let's welcome our prince, Sun!" As soon as Sun Xiang stepped onto the field, the long-awaited on-site DJ couldn't wait to say the long-awaited introduction.

The crowd stood up as he did when he left, singing the praises of their former heroes.

In the east stand of the main fan stand, there is also a five-star red flag hanging on it.

The slogan "Welcome home" echoed in the stadium, and even the Arsenal players present felt a little tearful when they saw this scene.

"Hero home, this is the best thank you gift, thank you for everything you have done for us!"

"Everywhere you go, there are your fans here!"

The banners that are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and the touching words are the best rewards for the 18-year-old.

"The referee blows the whistle and the game begins!"

"Sun is still in the front court, if you look at his performance, maybe this one can be worth looking forward to."

The live commentary of this game is still brought to you by Martin Taylor and Alan Smith of Sky Sports.

Sun Xiang kicked off in the midfield, and then ran to the front court to wait for the attack amid the cheers of the fans at the scene.

A year ago, on November 18, he made his professional debut here; Now, a year later, he made his first start in the Champions League group stage at the stadium.

Cazorla fed the ball back to Koscielny and Gomez pressed for it, with the former calmly handling it and slotting it down the right wing.

Bellerin got the ball there and then went on a one-two against Cazorla against Gerhardt's defence.

Malle came back and pulled down Bellerin, who was about to accelerate, from behind, and the referee showed a yellow card as a warning.

'Muller got a yellow card in less than a minute into the game, he was so careless. Martin Taylor sighed, and in his opinion it was completely unnecessary to foul.

'He's got Udokai behind him, he was a very good interception last season and he's a very developing centre-back. There is no need to worry about having such a player in him. ”

But now that fouls are a fact, there is no way to avoid yellow cards.

Cazorla's set-piece found Alexandre Lacazette near the top of the box, who headed into the box, but Bellerin, who was outflanked at the back post, stabbed the shot wide, otherwise they could have set the record for the fastest goal in the Champions League this season.

"It's too dangerous, it's too unlucky, the ball has been passed very well, if Bellerin were replaced by Sun, would it be better?"

"I don't think so, because Sun doesn't have Bellerin's speed, he's technical."

....................

Arsenal dominated the game in the opening period, with a frantic attack leaving Wolfsburg defenseless.

Wolfsburg coach Schmidt stood on the sidelines, walking anxiously around, talking to his assistants and muttering to himself.

In the face of the situation on the field, in fact, he had thought of it a long time ago, but he thought about the details wrongly.

He watched the video of Sun Xiang's last game, and in the Arsenal team, he thought that the last threat was his former favorite general, so in the game he asked most of the troops in the backfield to concentrate on the backfield and defend Sun Xiang in an all-round way. However, after the start of the game, although Sun Xiang's actions were restricted, Arsenal was not the only one who could carry the offensive banner on the front line, but also French striker Lacazette, who ignored this.

And Lacazette and Sun Xiang are two types of players, so Wenger will have two tactical ways of playing on the field in this regard, if Sun Xiang is limited, then Lacazette's speed will become the mainstream of the game. So whoever it is, they can attack the city on the front line, and that's the brilliance of Wenger's tactics.
