084 Finalist Golden Boy Award (6K Monthly Pass)

"If one day Tottenham Hotspur offered you an olive branch, would you accept the invitation?"

Arteta couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

'I can't say I'll never coach Tottenham, who knows what the future holds?'

'All I can say is that I'm happy with Arsenal right now, we have a good chance of finishing in the top four this season and I have four years left on my contract with Arsenal.

"I'll stay at Arsenal until the end of my contract!"

The BBC reporter stood up and asked: "Mikel, is Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang still part of Arsenal?" ”

'He's a member of Arsenal of course but there's a bit of a problem with his attitude and when he reflects, he'll be back in the squad.'

"Okay Mikel, are Arsenal determined to win the Carabao Cup this season?"

"Of course, why not?!"

These words were quickly posted online.

The BBC's front-page headline read: "Arteta: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is still one of us!" 》

The second piece of news is: "Arteta: Nuno will lead Tottenham back on track after the game against Arsenal!" 》

The third piece of news is: "Arsenal are aiming for the League Cup!" 》

The fourth piece of news is: Arteta: We have a good chance of finishing in the top four this season! 》

Well, Arsenal's news has taken over the screen.

Among the four pieces of news, the last one caused the greatest repercussions, and the comments directly exceeded 10,000 in an instant!

The first three stories have only a few hundred comments.

Obviously, fans can't help but complain about Arsenal's dominance at the top of the table, but saying that the goal is only the top four in the Premier League.

The last manager to say that was Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri in 2016.

Leicester City also managed to stage a Kaiserslautern miracle that year and won the Premier League title!

The focus of the fans' complaints was on Arteta's "humility".

This man, if he is too humble, he will become hypocritical!

Arsenal fans are still fond of Arteta's humility, and years without a title have long created a humorous character for Arsenal fans.

From Arteta's remarks, they got the meaning of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and they took pleasure in it.

Frankly speaking, Arsenal's squad this season is really average, not only is the back line a mess, lacking world-class centre-backs, but also a lack of consistent scorers.

At this juncture, the team's only positive striker Aubameyang also pulled his hips.

But fortunately, there is Zheng Yaxin!

Zheng Yaxin, who can play the two positions of goalkeeper and striker, has brought infinite possibilities to Arsenal!

Against this backdrop, Arteta's youth storm has also begun to bear fruit.

It is foreseeable that even if they fail to win the title this season, Arsenal will be a strong contender for the Premier League title next season!

Therefore, the tone of Arsenal fans is extremely consistent, and when they meet people, they say, "Don't milk Arsenal, our goal is only to be in the top four!" ”

Actually, that's not wrong.

The first place (champion) is also the top four, isn't it?

After the press conference, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta announced his starting XI against Wimbledon.

Arsenal formation 4-3-3.

The goalkeeper is No. 1 Leno,

The four defenders are Holding, Cedric, Tavares, Mari,

The three midfielders are Thomas, Niles, Lokonga,

The three strikers are Alexandre Lacazette, Nketiah and Zheng Yaxin.

In addition to Zheng Yaxin, the players who started in the last round of the Premier League either entered the bench or did not even enter the squad.

On the other side, Wimbledon also announced their starting line-up (4-5-1):

The goalkeeper is No. 1 Tsanev,

The back four were 2-Henry Lawrence, 5-Nightingale, 22-Hannigan, 18-Guinness Walker,

The five midfielders are 8-Hartgen, 4-Woodyard, 21-McCormick, 10-Assar, 12-Rudoni,

Only the British media focused on Zheng Yaxin in a tone of envy and jealousy,

Zheng Yaxinman only played 7 professional games, and only worked as a professional player for more than two months in total, but he entered the final squad!

How is this not amazing?!

Compared with the envy of the British media, the domestic media in China exploded directly.

Zheng Yaxin scored 19 goals (14 in the Premier League and 5 in the national team) and got 4 assists (3 in the Premier League) in just seven games (5 Premier League games, 2 World Preliminary Tournament games). 1. The national team 1) made it to the list of 40 people for the Golden Boy Award.

An average of 3.2 goals per game!

Who else in the world has achieved such ungodly data?

No one!

Mero in his prime, can't do it either!

Especially in this domestic football environment, the situation is getting worse, there are constantly clubs announcing their dissolution after winning championships, and the professional league is in turmoil.

Zheng Yaxin's birth is like a light moving forward in the dark, illuminating the faith of all fans.

It's so uplifting!
