Arsenal got a draw that left them in fourth place in the table.

1st place, Liverpool, 4 wins, 0 draws, 0 losses.

2nd place, Manchester City, 4 wins, 0 draws, 0 losses.

3rd place, Manchester United, 3 wins, 1 draw, 0 losses.

4th place, Arsenal, 3 wins, 1 draw, 0 losses.

5th place, Tottenham, 3 wins, 0 draws, 1 loss.

6th place, Chelsea, 2 wins, 2 draws, 0 losses.

Because Arsenal played a draw in this round of fixtures, there was a change in the outside world's perception of them, and suddenly they were a little unoptimistic about their first performance in the Champions League.

In the event that manager Arsene Wenger makes another change, Arsenal are likely to be either draws or defeats as they did in today's game.

And Arsenal's schedule behind is,

After the first round of the Champions League, they will play the fifth round of the competition before starting the EFL Cup and then starting their early season third-tier campaign.

Fortunately, Arsenal made a lot of preparations for reinforcements before the transfer window closed. The equation feels that this three-front operation should not be a big problem.

The most important thing is that the EFL Cup is not as important as the FA Cup, which only provides a stage for the lesser-known teams in the country.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, big6 teams will only send substitutes to play in the EFL Cup.

In the FA Cup, there are a lot of times when there are key players. Because, winning the FA Cup will also earn a place in the Europa League next season.

The Premier League schedule behind Arsenal is,

Round 5 against Southampton,

Round 6 against Tottenham,

Round 7 against Brighton,

Round 8 against Manchester United,

Round 9 against West Ham United,

Round 10 against Manchester City.

After the fourth round of the Premier League, Arsenal organized an intra-team match on the second day.

Before the start, Professor Arsene Wenger told the group: "This game is for training and to get you to know the new players in the squad. Let's try not to work too hard, if we get injured, it will affect our Champions League schedule."

Seeing the head coach say this, everyone knows how to play in their hearts, they can play seriously, but they don't have to work too hard.

Immediately, the players of the Arsenal echelon came over.

The training matches are divided into blue teams and red teams. There are main players in both teams.

"By the way, where is Haaland going?" Suddenly, assistant coach Mikel Arteta noticed that someone was missing.

"Oh, he went to the bathroom, I forgot to say." Some echelon teammates answered immediately.

Alta nodded, and asked everyone to wait for a moment.

The equation didn't care about the name, thinking it was just the same name and surname.

Then, it wasn't until Haaland, who is 1.94 meters tall, trotted over that the equation froze.

What's going on??

Shouldn't Haaland be at Red Bull Salzburg right now? Why did you suddenly come to Arsenal?

No wonder Huang Taixi always ran to the club before, it turned out to be for this one thing!

Why didn't the damn guy tell him beforehand?

The equation was suddenly angry and happy.

At this time, the main players couldn't help but glance at the fierce Haaland.

In response, Altaert explained: "This is Haaland Jr., who has just arrived at Arsenal, he is the child of the elder Haaland, who also played for Manchester City before. Before, he was allowed to go to the echelon, so everyone didn't have a chance to meet him, but now everyone can get to know him well. ”

When Haaland Jr. heard what the assistant coach said, he took the initiative to open his mouth and say hello to his teammates.

"It's kind of interesting!!"

"Old Haaland? I watched him play as a kid! ”

"He's only 19?? Both are 1.9 meters tall?! It seems to be another high school striker! ”

The main players couldn't help but whisper for a while.

The equation shows how much potential Haaland has.

So, he's just a little surprised that Haaland has come to Arsenal right now

Soon, the team training match began.

Equation and Haaland were team-mates on the BLU side.

However, as the manager of the blue team, Professor Arsene Wenger arranged for him to only play at the back.

Hearing this arrangement, the equation looked at the back, and there were Saliba and Cedric,

But other than that, they don't have the main players, and the entire front court is full of unfamiliar faces from the echelon.

As for the red team, except for two substitutes, all of them are main players!

The equation is almost speechless,

"How are you going to kick this?"

"And you want to put me in the lower back position?"

"How does this support Haaland??"

"Long pass??"

The equation can't help but complain in his heart, so isn't this the arrangement of the blue team clear?!

However, the training game still had to be played, and after being besieged by the red team for seven minutes, Equation finally grabbed the ball.

Then, he subconsciously rushed to the front court with the ball.

Suddenly, the whistle blew, and Arsene Wenger, the head coach and referee, signaled a foul on the pitch for grabbing the ball!

The equation couldn't stop laughing.

Finished

It seems that he really doesn't let himself go through the half.

Haaland also felt helpless when he saw this scene, and only felt that he was alone in front of him.

Soon, two minutes later, the echelon of defensive teammates was robbed with a lot of scrambled and hurriedly passed the football to the equation.

This time, instead of dribbling with the ball, the equation lifted the arch of his foot lightly and only stopped the ball in a very comfortable position.

Then he turned around,

Bang,

His back resisted Thomas's collision for a second!

Before the equation was knocked down, he didn't raise his head, and according to the real-time map of the stadium drawn in his mind in advance, he accurately sent a long pass to the front court!

"Pretty!!"

Haaland's eyes lit up, he didn't expect the Oriental player to send a long ball to his direction under the collision!!

Haaland turned sharply, and with a wave of his upper hand, he shook off Gabriel's pulling move!

Haaland is tall and fast as a cheetah, chasing the first drop point of football!

The rear of the RED team is in chaos in an instant!

Ben White, Bellerin hurriedly returned to the big penalty area, but it was too late, after Haaland ran into place, he didn't stop the ball, and directly slammed the football with his right foot!

Bang bang!

I saw that the football instantly drew a parabola and fell in the direction of the goal.

The ball was so fast that goalkeeper Leno was caught off guard, and as soon as he jumped back and stretched out his hand, the ball crashed into the net.

BLU leads 1:0!!

Haaland happily raised his hands before he turned to look behind him, smiled and pointed in the direction of the pass and said a hit.

The equation came running over and responded with a smile.

Sure enough, although Haaland has the appearance of cannibalism, others still know how to thank for assists.

At this time, the atmosphere of the whole audience suddenly changed, good guy, this volley is obviously very powerful.

The main players couldn't help but look at each other, as if to say:

This little Haaland is a bit fierce!!

After the equation walked in, he nodded at Haaland with his fingertips, and joked: "Remember, I'm the second captain of the first team, you kid will mess with me in the future!" ”

Haaland smiled heartily, "Okay, I'm going to follow the second captain!" ”

Haaland can also afford to joke, plus he already knows that Equation has the same agent as him, so the relationship is naturally different from others.

However, the captain Xhaka also came over and scolded with a smile: "Second captain, you are violating the team rules, our team is forbidden to form small groups without permission, of course."

Xhaka suddenly smiled, patted Haaland on the shoulder, and said, "If you are with me, it must be the best!" ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone couldn't help but laugh in an instant.

The atmosphere was extraordinarily relaxed and entertaining.

Equation also smiled and explained to Haaland: "We are all joking, there are no small groups in the team, don't worry! ”

Haaland was stunned for a moment, then cracked his mouth and laughed.

I feel that I have chosen to join Arsenal and I have come to the right place.

Subsequently, the training game continued to start, and the main red team saw that the new signings were so powerful, and they were naturally unwilling to lose the game.

The two sides kicked open and closed in an instant!

The final score was 2:4, Haaland scored a goal on the blue side, an own goal on the red team's side, Lacazette scored twice, and Saka and Ronaldo scored a goal each.

During this time, Arsene Wenger and Mikel Arteta watched the training game carefully, discussing it from time to time.

In the following days, Haaland entered the first team for training in preparation for the first round of the Champions League group stage against Club Brugge.

Two days before the game, the whole Arsenal team flew to Billie to familiarize themselves with the playing field.

Rivals Club Brugge are also long-time Champions League acquaintances, with 18 top-flight titles to their name, second only to Anderlecht's 34.

This is a team that should not be underestimated.

September 19th.

The 29,997-seat Jan Bredel Stadium is full of people!

When the equation was warming up, he glanced around the stadium, because it was his first Champions League game, it was obvious that he felt a different hot atmosphere!

Soon, the warm-up was over and the two teams returned to their respective locker rooms.

"Really? Paris Saint-Germain are still one goal behind?!! ”

At this moment, Lacazette suddenly let out a burst of exclamation from his seat.

Because the match between Paris Saint-Germain and Galatasaray starts just over an hour early, it is still possible to see PSG's Champions League match.

When the teammates heard this, they were all stunned for a moment.

"No, Paris Saint-Germain can't even play the Turkish team?!!"

"I'll look at my phone omg!! The score is 1:0, Paris Saint-Germain is really one goal behind!! ”

"Where are the Mbappes? Didn't all score a goal? ”

"It's almost over, they can't really lose, right?!"

The teammates were a little surprised, and it can be said that none of them were gloating.

Because everyone knows that only after Paris Saint-Germain wins the game of the weak team, the qualifying situation of this group is very clear, if Paris Saint-Germain capsizes now, maybe it will have a chance to qualify with Arsenal in the future!

"There are no weak teams in the Champions League!"

"We have to be careful, too! Paris Saint-Germain must not be given a chance to fight to the death! ”

"Yes, the first game has to be won!"

"This Mbappe! Could it be that he only talks nonsense?! ”

The team-mates were a little angry with PSG.

The equation also sniffed out something wrong. It feels like if PSG end up drawing the game, it seems that their qualification situation from the group will also become complicated.

However, the equation feels that this situation is reasonable.

After all, the aircraft carrier Paris Saint-Germain has not capsized once or twice. They don't seem to be a manager's problem either.

After all, three times in a row, the head coach did not solve the big problem of the aircraft carrier capsizing.

From the perspective of elimination, it is time to find the problem from the team itself.

Soon, though, the game will begin.

Players from both sides came to the field and then took pictures and guessed the coins.

At this point, the idea of the whole Arsenal team has been agreed.

This game has to be won!

Arsenal started the day with a 433 formation.

Goalkeeper: Leno.

Back: Ben White, Gabriel, Papastathopoulos, Bellerin.

Midfielders: Equation, Thomas, Xhaka.

Up front: Saka, Alexandre Lacazette, Martinelli.

Manager Arsene Wenger has not changed his squad again, and although Haaland has performed well in the previous team training, he and Arteta have not dared to make changes rashly in the Champions League.

Arsenal's first Champions League game must be a steady win!

After the start of the game, Club Brugge launched a crazy scramble at home,

However, Arsenal have long been accustomed to this kind of crazy rush, not only in the Premier League, but also in team training.

The difference is that the home fans booed en masse, affecting their concentration.

But fortunately, Arsenal quickly got through the first six minutes without danger.

Then, Equation led his teammates to launch a high attack!

Although it is not yet known whether PSG won or not, the equation has already been 100% all-out!

After two ball exchanges, Arsenal flew in both directions, and Lacazette forced his way up in the middle, flattening Brugge's formation in an instant!

At the same time, in the rapid running of the equation, he got Xhaka's through ball, and made a gesture to attack the side with the ball.

Club Brugge midfielder Van Naken kept up with the defence.

Martinelli put on the left side to ask for the ball, but the equation suddenly flashed, and he made a great combination of man and ball, and braked to slow down! Step with your left foot and slap the soccer ball in the slowdown with your heel!

The direction of the attack changed in an instant!

Right at the edge of the penalty area, the equation walked into the inside with the ball!

Brugge's midfield braked in fright, stretching out his foot to prevent Equation's inward shot!

But it's late! In the gap formed in this instant, the equation was not adjusted in the slightest, and he decisively rubbed the football with the outside of his left foot!

I saw that in the gap between the personnel, a beautiful curved ball rose in an instant and flew towards the far post of the goal.

Goalkeeper Ritz's vision was blocked, and coupled with a misjudgment, he watched in a daze as the ball flew into the far post!

The net is moving!!

"The ball is in! ——”

The Chinese commentary of this game, Zhan Jun immediately shouted excitedly,

"A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops come to meet each other!!"

"Nice inside cut!!"

"The dribbling of the equation is so smooth that the opponent Fannaken has no time to stretch out his feet to block!"

"That's the quality of a star! Shooting and scoring goals doesn't make sense at all!! ”

"Brugge, the overlord of the Liga League, they were careless!!"
