095 The North London Derby begins

……

When the season is underway, time passes very quickly.

The previous race has just ended, and the next one has followed.

The players are too busy training and recovering to worry about the outside world.

In the blink of an eye, it was September 26th.

Matchday of the sixth round of the Premier League.

The north London derby is about to begin.

After continuous exploration and run-in at the beginning of the season, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has now fully mastered Zheng Yaxin's instruction manual.

- You can play the goalkeeper, you can also play the striker, you can play the goalkeeper, you can highlight a steady; To play as a striker, you highlight a goal that can score goals and score all kinds of chances.

Arteta came up with a clever idea.

Playing a strong team, Zheng Yaxin was arranged to guard the goal, with the help of his unparalleled reaction speed and saving awareness in front of the goal, so that Arsenal was invincible first, and then waited for the opportunity to win.

It doesn't matter if you can't win, a draw is acceptable.

When it was time to play a weak team, Zheng Yaxin was arranged to play as a striker, compete with the opponent for the number of goals, and then defeat the opponent with a devastating offensive.

The comparison is that I have one more than you.

That makes it difficult for Arsenal to beat.

This is what Arteta calls the ultimate winning strategy of "good steel on the blade".

When realising that this strategy might allow Arsenal to win the Premier League title this season with an unbeaten record, Arteta was in full swing.

At the start of the season, his expectations for the team this season were only to finish in the top four and return to the Champions League.

Now, Zheng Yaxin's outstanding performance has given him greater ambitions!

Winning the Premier League? Why not?

Winning the EFL Cup? This can be there!

FA Cup win? This can be had, too!!

As long as Zheng Yaxin can maintain his health and excellent performance throughout the season, Arteta believes that Arsenal will amaze the entire Premier League, the whole Europe, and even the whole world this season!

However, the priority remains what to do with Aubameyang.

Because the opponent of this game, Tottenham, is not easy to deal with!

Arteta plans to arrange for Zheng Yaxin to play as a goalkeeper, first to ensure that he does not lose, and then to win.

As a result, Arsenal are short of a regular striker.

So Arteta thought of Aubameyang, who was "sanctioned" by him.

Since Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's bombardment of the club in the last round of the Premier League, Arteta has relegated the former to the reserve team, leaving him to train alone and not to participate in any first-team activities.

But it's not a long-term solution!

Unilateral imposition of sanctions will not solve the problem, it will only complicate it.

If Aubameyang is pushed to give another interview, or make some inappropriate and disruptive remarks on his personal social media, which will affect Arsenal's current good winning streak, it will be more than worth the loss.

Therefore, this problem must be solved quickly, rather than dragging it back in a cold and violent way.

Before the game began, Arteta suspended the sanction against Aubameyang and called him into his office for an open talk.

Arteta demanded that Aubameyang abide by the team's discipline, not be late or leave early, train carefully, and not give interviews in private, in exchange for which he will continue to play in this game and is willing to let him leave unconditionally in the winter. Z.br>

But Aubameyang disagrees.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang asks for @ every game

I wanted to use Aubameyang as the core of the team and build a system, but after finding that Aubameyang had a loose style, was undisciplined, and often hung out in nightclubs, he changed his mind and decided to sweep Aubameyang out of the house!

And the emergence of Zheng Yaxin in the new season has strengthened this idea.

Arsenal no longer need to use Aubameyang as the core, but to change to Odegaard + Zheng Yaxin as the core.

In doing so, Aubameyang loses his value completely.

As a result, at the start of the new season, Arteta stripped Aubameyang of the captain's armband and told the latter that he could go and find his next home.

Arsenal don't need him anymore!

Arteta's idea is naturally to want Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to leave in the summer window and then free up a spot to bring in a new striker.

Originally, Aubameyang had also found a home for Barcelona, but the three parties had big differences on the transfer fee and salary. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's current salary at Arsenal is £15 million, the highest in the Arsenal squad.

And Barcelona is limited by the La Liga salary cap and does not want to give Aubameyang such a high salary.

In addition, several high-paid players such as Pique, Busquets, Alba, and Dembele in the Barcelona team are unwilling to take a salary cut, resulting in the Manchester City striker Ferran Torres introduced by Barcelona in the summer window unable to register, so the deal fell through.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was "forced" to stay.

This also led to Arsenal's failure to bring in a new striker in the summer window.

Zheng Yaxin only showed the potential of a top goalkeeper at that time, but did not show the potential of a top striker, Arteta wanted to maintain the situation at that time and live peacefully with Aubameyang until the end of the season.

But then it turned out that it couldn't be done at all!

A player who has been captain and is accustomed to dictating to his teammates, even if he is no longer the captain, still has a significant impact in the dressing room.

This leads to a new problem.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has seriously influenced the authority of new captain Odegaard.

So it's not going to work until the end of the season.

Since you can't always delegate the reserves, you can't stay until the end of the season. Arteta is hoping to get rid of Aubameyang this winter.

Even if you post money, you have to clean it up!

If you let this time bomb stay in the team, it may explode at some point.

Coupled with the fact that there are no regular strikers available for this game, Arteta decided to shake hands with Aubameyang and get through the first half of the season.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is also depressed.

He played well last season and had good statistics, but at the beginning of the new season, he suddenly found that the club didn't plan to want him.

As a result, the summer window failed to go through, so I had to continue to look for the next home in the winter window.

It is rare to see the coach take the initiative to show favor today, and Aubameyang took the opportunity to put forward another condition:

Arsenal must subsidize the salary of his final year of contract!

Aubameyang is from Africa, he has been poor since he was a child, and after thinking about it, he felt that since he didn't take the initiative to leave, and Arsenal especially wanted him to go, he had to get the salary for the remaining year of his contract!

In the end, after a tug-of-war negotiation, the two sides took a step back and reached an agreement.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang returned to the first team and strictly followed team discipline until the winter window opened.

Mikel Arteta, for his part, will include Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in this game @

After seeing Arteta's announcement on TV footage, Zheng Yaxin was taken by surprise.

He was well aware that Arteta did not want Aubameyang to stay in the team, but he did not expect to end up choosing to compromise with reality.

Also, Arsenal has only one central striker, Aubameyang, and the squad is not so spacious that it can casually abandon a best player from last season, and the results will not be affected.

And the opponent of this game, Tottenham, is very sturdy and does not come well.

Mikel Arteta will surely want to beat arch-rivals Tottenham and make it six wins in a row to open the season.

And to win against Tottenham, you have to field the best players in every position.

Obviously, when he is not playing as a striker, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is Arsenal's current best striker.

So, this is also a helpless move.

Thinking so, Zheng Yaxin stared at Aubameyang not far away, thoughtfully.

In this game, whether Arsenal can win or not depends on whether this guy gives it or not.

Aubameyang was bending over to tie his shoelaces, feeling that Zheng Yaxin's gaze at him seemed to have bad intentions, he stood up suddenly, pointed at Zheng Yaxin's nose condescendingly and said:

"Why do you look ***?!"

For Zheng Yaxin, Aubameyang has always been holding back a breath of anger in his heart.

Zheng Yaxin's sudden rise has seriously squeezed his living space at Arsenal, and he is the culprit for being swept away!

Originally, everyone played football according to their abilities, who did it, their skills were not as good as others, Aubameyang also admitted it, and he didn't dare or want to trouble Zheng Yaxin.

After all, Zheng Yaxin's action of picking up Leno with that punch was too neat, like practicing Chinese kung fu.

Aubameyang knew that he was not Zheng Yaxin's opponent, so he naturally didn't dare to come and provoke at will, usually he saw Zheng Yaxin hiding away.

But today, he is on the right side!

Who told Zheng Yaxin to stare at him with "bad intentions" first?

At this time, even a man can't bear it!

Even if he will be beaten by Zheng Yaxin because of this, he has to stand up and show his attitude and show that he is not easy to bully!

The mud bodhisattva still has three points of fire.

What's more, he was once the captain of the team!

Looking at the menacing Aubameyang in front of him, Zheng Yaxin pursed his lips and stood up suddenly.

Look at the past with a sharp gaze.

Although he is a kind person, this does not mean that he can be pointed at the nose and questioned at will.

Of course, he didn't want to beat Aubameyang violently, after all, the game was approaching, and if he injured the latter, there would be no one to play as a striker.

He stood up, just not wanting to be looked down upon by Aubameyang.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up, Aubameyang said "Mom", squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, and said incoherently:

"Wrong, wrong, I was wrong, don't hit me!"

Seeing this scene, the locker room was silent for a second.

Then burst into laughter.

The teammates leaned forward and back, and couldn't help but laugh.

Aubameyang quietly looked up and found that Zheng Yaxin didn't mean to beat him, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief......

God knows, when Zheng Yaxin suddenly stood up just now, how fast his heart was beating!

The large physique of 1.95 meters is too oppressive.

And that big fist in a sand bowl...

It's terrifying!

An hour before the game, Arsenal and Tottenham respectively announced the @

In the room, I chatted with my old partner Director Zhang about the game.

"Director Zhang, what do you think?"

After introducing the situation of the two teams and the standings, Zhan Zhi turned to look at Zhang Zhi.

Finger Finger showed his trademark smile: "Hey, hey... If Arsenal maintains their current good momentum, they still have a good chance of finishing in the top four, and as for winning the title, it depends on whether Zheng Yaxin can stay healthy and play well."

"All in all, Arsenal are very good."

Director Zhan nodded, "Okay! The game is about to start, so let's turn our attention to the field." …
