……

For a player, only by enduring loneliness and calming down can it be possible to climb to a higher stage.

The reason why Mero has been able to stay at the top of their game for 20 years is because football is their greatest hobby and pleasure.

While other players only play football professionally, they have something they like more.

Stronger than Neymar, although he likes to play, he prefers money and beautiful women.

Lack of concentration is the natural enemy that prevents a player from reaching a higher stage.

Zheng Yaxin has always had a clear understanding of this.

In the past, his football skills were not good, and no matter how self-disciplined he was, it was useless.

Now, with the system in hand, he won't waste this God-given opportunity.

He loves to play and wants to play well!

When I returned to London, it was September 8, 2021.

The next game is three days later, when Arsenal play Norwich at home.

Zheng Yaxin did not go to the Kearney training ground for two consecutive days, and only practiced with the team once in the afternoon before the game.

In the Arsenal team, all the players who played in this round of the World Cup Qualifiers on all continents were allowed by manager Mikel Arteta to stay at home to recover, and they did not have to participate in daily training.

This round is the fourth round of the Premier League this season, because the opponent Norwich is relatively weak, so the attention is very low, far less attractive than the previous three games.

Public opinion was very calm before the game.

There were also a lot fewer reporters than usual.

After all, Norwich's fame cannot be compared to Chelsea's Manchester City, let alone the opening game of the first round.

When staying at home to rest, Zheng Yaxin took the time to add some attributes to himself.

Host: Zheng Yaxin

Age: 17 years old

Height: 195cm

Weight: 110kg

Club: Arsenal

Reaction speed: 20+/20

Goalkeeping awareness: 20/20

Power: 15/20

Passing and receiving: 8/20 (+3)

Standing: 5/20

Marking: 5/20

Sliding: 5/20

Steals: 5/20

Stamina: 5/20

Free kick: 5/20

Header: 5/20

Shots on goal: 5/20

Dribbling: 5/20

Speed: 5/20

Field view: 5/20

……

The 3 attribute points accumulated are all added to the "Passing and Receiving Ball".

Originally, Zheng Yaxin wanted to add attributes to power or shooting.

But considering that it is very likely that you will have to play the goalkeeper for a long time in the future, it is added to the passing and receiving of the ball.

He has never forgotten his goal this season, the Premier League Golden Boot + assist king, and of course, leading Arsenal to the championship.

At present, he has scored 13 goals, which is enough to keep the Premier League's strikers out of the way for a long time, and his three assists are also at the top of the assist charts, second only to Fernandes' four.

As long as the current situation continues to develop normally, Zheng Yaxin believes that he will be able to win the Premier League Golden Glove + Golden Boot + Assist King as a goalkeeper.

The only slight regret is that Arsenal have no European games this season and can only play games like the League Cup and FA Cup.

The advantage of not having a European game is that players are less distracted from off the pitch and are able to play more focused.

The disadvantage is that there is no attention without European competition, and no one takes it seriously no matter how good the game is.

Fast forward to September 11th.

Arteta took Zheng Yaxin to the pre-match press conference, and the reporters waited for Arteta to finish his opening remarks, and directly put him aside and asked questions to Zheng Yaxin.

Although Zheng Yaxin is not the number one star in the Premier League now, he is the most talked-about star in the Premier League.

Menfeng, Chinese, all of this makes people have a strong desire to explore.

Journalists have so many questions they want to ask.

The reporters asked a variety of questions, some of them were asking Zheng Yaxin what he thought of Mbappe's remarks? Some are asking if Arsenal have any ambitions to win the title this season, while others are asking what he thinks of Arsenal's starting defender Kenhiro Tomiyasu? What do you think of the new coach of the Chinese national team? Is it inclined to turn positive or Lippi to take over?

Zheng Yaxin did not answer the question about Mbappe, lest he be said to rub the latter's traffic, but responded to his opinion of the national team coach.

"No matter who the new coach of the national team is, we as players will focus on playing well and working hard to qualify for the World Cup."

The reporters were obviously not satisfied with such an offending answer. So the BBC reporter directly asked: "Lippi or Dapeng?" ”

How could Zheng Yaxin answer such a question? Immediately laughed and did not speak.

The reporters didn't know what to do, so they turned to ask Norwich, the opponent of the match.

"Zheng, what do you think of Norwich, the opponent of this match? Do you think there will be a goal in this game? ”

Norwich City started the new season with three consecutive defeats, scoring 1 goal and conceding 10 goals, and finished at the bottom of the standings.

This is a weak opponent.

Arsenal started the game with three consecutive wins and topped the standings.

The disparity between strength and weakness is too great, and there will be no suspense about victory or defeat!

The only suspense is whether Zheng Yaxin can still score.

It's not uncommon for goalkeepers to score occasionally, who doesn't eat dumplings during the New Year?

But when a goalkeeper scores goals in quick succession, that's not normal.

Players like Campos, after all, are in the minority.

'Norwich are a strong opponent and it's going to be a tough game, it doesn't matter if I score or not, it's important that Arsenal win.'

“……”

Zheng Yaxin couldn't get information about the explosion, and reporters turned to interview Arteta.

For football journalists, they want every manager and star player to make a big splash, provoke every opponent, and create a topic so that the newspaper can sell well.

But for a coach or even a player, interviews are the most boring.

If it weren't for the FA's mandatory pre-match interviews, no manager would have been willing to attend a press conference.

Naturally, journalists don't ask Arteta anything explosive.

Brother Tazi is still very experienced in dealing with reporters.

After a bland interview.

Arsenal have announced their starting line-up for the game (4-2-3-1).

13-Zheng Yaxin,

3-Tierney, 4-Ben White, 6-Gabriel, 18-Kenhiro Tomiyasu,

8-Odegaard, 15-Niles,

23-Lokonga, 7-Saka, 19-Pepe,

14- Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Norwich, for their part, were quick to announce their starting XI (4-3-3):

1-Krull,

2-Aarons, 5-Hanley, 21-Brandon Williams, 44-Omoba Middry,

7-Lucas Rupp, 20-Reece Melo, 23-McLean,

10-Kieran Dowell, 18-Szollis, 22-Pukki.

Arsenal's record against Norwich City is overwhelming.

The two sides have faced each other in the last 6 times, and Arsenal has won 3 and drawn 3 to remain unbeaten.

Before the game, William Hill directly offered Arsenal a winning odds of 1.05, which was converted into a three-goal handicap for Arsenal's home handicap, and he was not optimistic that Norwich United would be able to score points at the Emirates Stadium.

At the start of the season, everyone thought Arsenal were just a team in the race for the top four. When many teams watch the schedule, they still want to wrestle their wrists with Arsenal and play against each other or something.

Especially Norwich, Norwich coach Farke had ideas after seeing the schedule at the beginning.

But now we see Arsenal occupy the top spot in the standings after three rounds, scoring 16 goals, an average of 5.3 goals per game! Defeating last season's Champions League runners-up Manchester City and Chelsea has made Norwich boss Farke acutely aware that Arsenal are part of the title contenders.

I can't afford to mess with it!

No one in the entire Premier League dares to underestimate Arsenal!

So in this game, Falke prepared a super iron bucket formation for Arsenal.

For a relegation team, how should they play when they encounter a championship team?

It must be a bus with 11 people in the backyard!

In such a defensive system, if you Arsenal can score, then you are a good pen!

If you can't break the goal, then it's a draw.

Anyway, a draw is blood for the relegation team!

It's none of my business if you Arsenal win the title or not.

It can be said that from this round onwards, Arsenal has really been tested.

However, Arteta does not seem to know the situation facing his team.

As he led his team to the Emirates Stadium, Arteta looked confident.

He thinks that today must be a big victory, a wild victory!
