The day after the match, Sun's appeal was granted. However, it is disappointing that it was not approved, and two additional suspensions will continue to be imposed on the original basis. In other words, even if Arsenal beat Besiktas to enter the group stage next, Sun Xiang will not be able to play in the first two games.

This has left the club's hierarchy, who had previously been optimistic, complaining that the additional suspension is undoubtedly a serious blow to Arsenal in European competition, which makes it a little difficult for the great Gunners this year.

In a blink of an eye, the second round of the Champions League play-offs arrived on August 28, and Besiktas was a guest at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal fans of course also know what kind of players they are, so after the start of the game, they created an atmosphere equivalent to that of Besiktas's home stadium, so that the "Black Eagles" suddenly couldn't get used to it.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Arsenal launched a wave of small **. With Sun Xiang not on the field, Wilshere took on most of the offensive duties.

At the end of the first half, Wilshere burst into the box from Cazorla's through ball and then met Pepe's defense with an inverted triangle pass, and Lacazette, who was outflanked in the middle, pushed the ball into the back of the net.

At 1:0, Arsenal finally took the lead.

In the second half, Besiktas attacked all the way, but Arsenal continued their good defensive form in the previous game, and the impregnable backline could not allow the "Black Eagles" to equalize the score.

In the end, Arsenal advanced to the group stage with an aggregate score of 1:0, and he will form Group D with Wolfsburg, Anderlecht and Galatasaray to compete for the top two promotion places.

When it was learned that Arsenal had beaten Besiktas, in addition to Arsenal fans, there was also a team of fans who were equally excited: Wolfsburg, who were also in Group D.

I didn't expect the two sides to meet in the Champions League so soon. For this kid who single-handedly put Wolfsburg in Europe, they can't wait to see him at home.

Although Sun Xiang faced suspension in the first two group games, the first meeting was played at Arsenal's home stadium. In other words, by the time the two sides meet for the second time, it will be 4 rounds later, and by then Sun Xiang has lifted the ban and can go back to battle.

So, the day after Arsenal beat Besiktas, Wolfsburg's official website published an article with a poster underneath it, which reads.

"Will look forward to, quietly placed on November 27, at the Volkswagen Arena. Prince, we are waiting for you to come home! ”

On August 31, Arsenal visited the King Power Stadium to challenge the Foxes. Leicester City have not been so consistent at the start of the season, drawing with Everton in the first round and losing to Chelsea in the second round, and if they still can't win this one, then they will start a three-game winless league game and will be their worst start to the Premier League since they entered the Premier League in 2013. So for Leicester, for Pierre, it's a game that can't be missed.

However, the game gave them a blow at the start.

In the 20th minute, Sun Xiang's cross from the wing bounced off Morgan and into the feet of Alexandre Lacazette, who volleyed a volley through Schmeichel.

1:0, Arsenal led in the first half.

Leicester woke up to a big dream after conceding the goal, and they used Vardy's speed to ruptle up Arsenal's defence, and just two minutes later, they were on the scoresheet.

Centre-back Harry Maguire played a long pass from the back, and Vardy used his speed to shake off Mustafi and fired a shot into the face of the onrushing Cech.

At 1:1, Leicester equalized in just two minutes.

In the second half, Arsene Wenger took the lead in mobilizing his troops, and Giroud replaced Alexandre Lacazette to increase the height of the front.

Leicester's captain Morgan was on a hot pitch in the game, with the Jamaicans having no problems other than the goal they conceded in the first half. And after Giroud came on, he also effectively limited the movement of the French centre-forward.

At the end of the 90-minute battle, the two sides shook hands 1:1.

After three rounds, Chelsea are top of the table with three wins, followed by Manchester City with six points from a shock defeat to Stoke City, followed by Reds Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur on six points. Arsenal are fifth with one win and two draws. The difference between the top few points is not huge, but as the league progresses, the speed at which they can pick up points will slowly be revealed.

From September 1st to September 12th, there are 11 days of national team matches. As the banner of Liuyang, Sun Xiang was selected for the national team squad this time. For the rest of the players, Lippi screened them during the inspection of the league, and finally 4 U23 players, including Wei Shihao and Li Xiaoming, were selected into the squad.

Therefore, this is also the first time that Sun Xiang has cooperated with the club bosses.

On September 5, the Chinese team faced the visiting Qatar in Changsha. Since the U23 Asian Cup national football team lost to Qatar at the beginning of this year, the players in this game are holding back their strength and want to be ashamed.

In the first 50 minutes of the game, Lippi did not put Sun Xiang on the field because he was not familiar with the current tactical system of the national team, and Lippi wanted him to watch the half-time game on the bench before sending him on the field.

So, in the 52nd minute, Sun Xiang came on as a substitute for Zhang Xizhe. It was his real debut for this national team.

In the 62nd minute, after receiving Zhang Wenzhao's return pass, he made a long pass to the right side of the penalty area, and Yu Dabao, who was ambushed here, stopped his chest and swept his right foot to the goal. Wei Shihao in the middle was clever and followed up with the stab, and the Chinese team led Qatar 1:0.

After the goal, the fans cheered and boiled, and they vented all the anger that had been buried in their hearts for half a year, when the hope of the Under-23s was stifled at the Changzhou Olympic Sports Center, and they formed a deep hatred with Qatar. This goal is undoubtedly a cup of sweet water that comforts the fans.

In the final stoppage time, Sun Xiang's cross accurately found Yu Dabao, who shook his head to attack the goal, rewriting the score to 2:0, and this was also the final score of the game.

After the game, the Qatari coach did not hide his love for Sun Xiang, in his opinion, Sun Xiang led the attack of the entire national football team. And this does not rule out the possibility that he is mocking other players in the national football team.

Of course, Lippi is also very fond of himself, no matter what questions the reporter asks, he can always substitute Sun Xiang's success into it.

On September 9, the national football team ushered in the Bolivian game in Wuhan, Sun Xiang opened the scoring for the national football team, and then Wu Lei and Yu Dabao each scored a goal. In the second half, Bolivia took advantage of a mistake at the back of the national football team to pull a goal back. The two sides finally fought fiercely for 90 minutes, and the national football team won the warm-up match again 3:1.

After the national team game, Sun Xiang returned to London non-stop to prepare for the first game in the fourth round of the Premier League on September 13, which is also the focus of this round. Against the "Blue Moon" Manchester City.
