……

「i！」

"This guy is a blue pool."

Arsenal fans who watched Sky Sports live were so disgusted by Ferdinand's claim that some grumpy fans couldn't help but burst into fire on the spot.

"I don't understand why, every time Arsenal has a good record, Manchester United's celebrities always jump out and talk crookedly, pour cold water, and have a mentality, Fake! Fack! Fack!!"

"Rather than pouring cold water on Arsenal, I think he [Rio Ferdinand] should be more of a fan of Manchester United, who have not won in two games!"

"Fake, I'm mad at the sight of this guy (Ferdinand)!"

"You'd better not let me see him on the street, or I'll have to show him a taste of my old fist!"

………

On the field, the captains of the two teams are picking sides.

The game is about to begin.

Arteta whispered to Ronde, an assistant coach on the side, "Man, I have a sense of foreboding."

Hearing Arteta say this, Ronde turned his head to glance at Potter, who was not far away, and also felt a chill behind him, "Boss, your feeling is right."

"I have a hunch of that too!"

"He (Potter) can't have dug a hole waiting for us, right?"

"I don't know, anyway, I feel very unsure." Arteta shook his head solemnly, and the uneasiness in his heart did not subside, but intensified.

Moments later, it officially began.

Brighton came up with a highly targeted style of play and pressed Arsenal onslaught.

Seeing this, Arteta immediately chuckled in his heart, realizing where his uneasiness came from.

It was only then that he realized how thoroughly Potter had studied Arsenal's tactical style of play and the characteristics of the players!

As soon as the game began, Brighton used the tactics of pressing high in the field, creating offsides in the backfield, restricting Odegaard's passing and receiving routes in the midfield, and pressing Zheng Yaxin's contact space with his teammates in the front. At the same time, as soon as he had the opportunity, he resolutely hit the middle and rushed into the small penalty area.

In this aggressive situation, Arsenal's scene is very passive, and they can't even pass the ball normally, and the ball will be broken if they don't pass three feet, so they can only drive to the front with big feet.

Arteta couldn't help but glance at Potter, realising that the latter's pre-match compliment was actually paralyzing him, and the ultimate goal was to catch Arsenal off guard.

This guy is so deep and calculating!

If you are a coach, you are a coach, why are you still playing the art of war?

For a moment, Arteta felt some pain in his skull.

A coach who understands the ball is not scary, but he is afraid that the coach will know the art of war.

But he has nothing to do to change the passive situation on the field, so he can only hope that Zheng Yaxin can turn the danger into a disaster.

So far, he doesn't know how to deal with this high-pressure, press-and-rush style.

Breaking the oppression of high positions is itself a worldwide problem.

This style of play requires a very high degree of teamwork tacit understanding of players, and this season Arsenal has been relying more on individual ability to solve problems, and teamwork is there, but not much.

So this is also the reason why Arsenal have repeatedly suffered heavy defeats against Manchester City and Liverpool in the past.

Manchester City and Liverpool have used a high pressing style in recent seasons. One of the coaches of the two teams took office in October 2015 and the other in the summer of 2016. ….

Looking at the Premier League and even Europe, it is difficult for the two teams to find a match.

And he has only been in charge of Arsenal for more than a year, and such a short period of time is not enough to create a mature system.

It seems that it can't be better today......

Hopefully this game can be walked out of the way......

Not really.

A draw is also acceptable.

Arteta sighed, and the thought popped into his head.

Gritted his teeth, he

Standing on the sidelines and shouting loudly, let the disciples keep the formation compact, focus on protecting the middle of the penalty area, and get through the first half first.

……

In the live broadcast room of Gugu Sports,

Coach Zhan is commenting on the @ of the two teams.

」

"In addition, Arsenal's defense is not solid, and it is up to Zheng Yaxin to save the world alone. Son Heung-min's penalty in the last game has already pointed out Arsenal's weakness, and if Brighton boss Graham Potter notices it, there's no reason why he shouldn't take advantage of it.

'In short, Brighton have chances to score, especially as a striker like Maupay, who has a lot of impact and the Arsenal defenders don't necessarily have to guard against him.

"I think the final score of this game could be a draw or a narrow win for Arsenal."

Hearing this, the fans reacted strongly and left messages to express their opinions.

For a while, the barrage in the live broadcast room was like a cloud.

"Disagree! Brighton opened with three axes and then retracted after a while, Arsenal must win!"

"No way, Brighton will never get a draw!"

"Arsenal have to watch the game and it's going to be a big win for sure."

"Zheng Yaxin's flash of inspiration is enough to solve Brighton."

"This Arsenal team is not afraid of any player, as long as Zheng Yaxin is there, it can win!"

"Arsenal won't win this time, I'll eat upside down live broadcast**"

……

At this point, players from both sides have been playing back and forth on the field for several minutes.

As soon as the Arsenal players got the ball, there were immediately crazy boos from the field.

As soon as the Brighton players got the ball, there were overwhelming cheers.

Can a player play well in the face of tens of thousands of boos?

Anyone who has experienced this feeling knows,

Hard!!

There was so much distraction from off the pitch that I couldn't concentrate on playing.

The home team players are playing more and more bravely with the cheers of the fans.

The difficulty of the away game has risen sharply.

The feeling of the Arsenal players right now can be described as "tormented".

Even Zheng Yaxin couldn't stand the boos behind him, so he had to take out the earplugs he had prepared in advance and stuff them into his ears.

Cover your ears and avoid booing!

on the field.

Brighton attacked with the ball and quickly distributed the ball to the right wing, Cucurenha received the ball in the penalty area and swept directly to the goal, the ball quickly swept a meter in front of the goal, and finally went out of the bottom line! ….

No one was able to touch it.

Then Zheng Yaxin kicked the goal, and the Brighton defender didn't give the center Lacazette a chance, and rushed in front of him to push the ball out!

The Brighton midfielder continued to control the ball, and Gross continued to pass and cut with his teammates, and the pass flowed smoothly, and soon passed to Arsenal near the top of the arc of the penalty area, and then the player with the ball was stuffed into the small penalty area!

Although Mo Pai accelerated and rushed into the small penalty area, in the end, the ball was taken by Zheng Yaxin first.

After Zheng Yaxin got the ball, he didn't look up and shot directly in the small penalty area!

That's right, it's the shot!

A direct shot from 90 yards out from Brighton's goal.

With a powerful instep volley, the ball soared into the air and whistled across the pitch towards the top right corner of the Brighton goal.

Seeing that the ball was about to fly into the goal, Brighton goalkeeper Robert desperately stepped back, reached out at the last moment, and the momentum of the ball fell, "duang" smashed on the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line.

This goal directly shocked Brighton coach Graham Potter into a cold sweat.

He hurriedly reminded Robert to concentrate, not to go too far from the door, and not to forget that the Chinese goalkeeper had a foot directly hanging the door!

Odegaard continued to run for the corner kick and hoisted the ball straight into the back of the penalty area!

Saka grabbed a Tarzan top of Brighton defender Duffy's head!

Boom~!!

The ball bounced off the turf and quickly raced towards the top right corner of the goal, and Robert flew sideways to shoot the ball off the line.

Or an Arsenal corner!

It looks like Brighton goalkeeper Robert today

The state is very good.

Two must-have goals were saved in quick succession.

'Brighton were very aggressive, they wanted to score from the start, and Arsenal's counter-attack was not ambiguous.

"This attack is completely Zheng Yaxin's personal ability, which burned the fire from his own goal to the opponent's goal."

"Okay, let's take a look at this corner!"

This time Odegaard didn't run for a corner, and the other end of the corner was usually taken by Smith Rowe.

Smith Rowe fired the ball flat and fast, straight to the front point, Lacazette grabbed the landing spot under the cover of Saka, and his forehead slammed forward, and the ball grazed the post and flew off the line!

Brighton goal kick.

All three of Arsenal's shots were in vain.

"Even if Zheng Yaxin stands in front of the goal, he can create a lot of shooting opportunities for Arsenal in every game, but unfortunately, the ability of Arsenal strikers to seize opportunities is very average, otherwise Arsenal is likely to have a one-goal lead now."

"It is estimated that after this game, Zheng Yaxin's value will increase hugely."

"He is now worth 70 million euros in the German transfer market."

"It's hard to imagine the value of a player who's only played professionally for two months."

"Zheng Yaxin used his wonderful performances again and again to explain what it means to attack from the goalkeeper position. The situation was originally that Brighton was pressing Arsenal to play, and then Zheng Yaxin kicked a long-distance hanging door, which directly changed the offensive and defensive momentum."

"What a really good player."

"The Golden Boy Awards are just a month away, and the four most popular players at the moment are Pedri, Zheng Yaxin, Musiala and Bellingham." ….

'Pedri's advantage is that he has played more games, and in the last year, he played 76 games.

"Zheng Yaxin's advantage is that he scores more goals, and his goals alone are more than twice as many as those of the three combined."

"Musiala and Bellingham played well. But in terms of voice, it is slightly inferior to Pedri and Zheng Yaxin."

"If Zheng Yaxin can win this Golden Boy Award, it will be a shot in the arm for domestic football."

"However, if Zheng Yaxin wants to compete for the Golden Boy Award, it is not enough to rely on the bright data, and the Arsenal club needs to come forward to build momentum for him."

"Because Barcelona have always been building momentum for Pedri."

"I have to say that in terms of drilling camp (publicity), no European team can match Barcelona."

"Okay, let's take a look at Brighton's attack first."

on the field.

Brighton organised the attack, and left-back Duffy dribbled the ball to the halfway line and immediately played a long ball to find Maupay at the top of the box, a tactic that manager Graham Potter had arranged before the game.

- Just hit Arsenal's small penalty area, don't go into the small penalty area and don't shoot!

But this kind of long ball obviously couldn't be difficult for the Arsenal defenders, and Gabriel and Ben White blocked Maupay behind him and got the ball in one of the clearances.

Then quickly passed the ball back to Zheng Yaxin.

Seeing that the ball arrived at Zheng Yaxin, the Brighton players couldn't do it, neither did they step forward to press, nor did they go back.

As long as they step forward to press, Zheng Yaxin will definitely shoot directly at the goal.

If you don't grab it, that's right, Zheng Yaxin will slowly organize an attack.

Brighton striker Mo Pai barely ran a few steps into the penalty area, and saw Zheng Yaxin immediately kick the ball out.

This time it's not a shot.

Instead, it was passed to the right side of Brighton's backfield.

Unfortunately, Saka started a little slowly and didn't get it.

Brighton won the ball at the back and continued to organise the attack.

Lallana took the ball and stuffed it straight to Yakubu, who knocked it across to Trossard, who didn't look ahead and sent a diagonal pass to the small penalty area.

But the ball flew in front of Zheng Yaxin.

Zheng Yaxin rushed to the ball with his long legs and kicked it directly.

He also shouted viciously "Get out"!

The ball whistled over the heads of all the players and landed in the Brighton half, where it was overrun by Alexandre Lacazette at high speed.

Although the goal efficiency is not as good as Aubameyang, in the last game against Wimbledon, Lacazette scored a one-and-a-half one-on-one goal, in the face of this ball that fell in mid-air, Lacazette took a few steps, and under the interference of two Wimbledon central defenders, he chose to volley directly with his right foot!

Boom –

The ball flew to the left side of the goal like a meteor, and although the angle was not too awkward, it was still a half-high ball, but it was fast enough!

Goalkeeper Robert reached out in a hurry!

Nothing was caught.

"The ball is in!"

"The ball went into !!"

"Lacazette!"

"It doesn't matter if Aubameyang is injured, and Lacazette!"

"In a very passive situation, Lacazette received an assist from goalkeeper Zheng Yaxin to give Arsenal the lead." ….

"1:0, in the 17th minute of the first half, Arsenal took the lead away. It's a great start. Judging from the course of the past few games, once Arsenal score first, nine times out of ten, it will be won in the end, at least in the previous games, this law is accurate, Arsenal have won eight in a row in all competitions."

"The goal was very simple, it was just a pass and the ball was delivered to Lacazette.

"The key to this goal is that Zheng Yaxin's pass is very accurate, almost like a cruise missile, and he accurately found Lacazette, and of course Lacazette's shot is also very decisive."

"Congratulations to Arsenal on a solid step towards seven consecutive wins in the Premier League!"

After the goal, Lacazette originally wanted to run all the way to the Arsenal fans under the stands to celebrate wildly, but he looked around the stadium and almost didn't find the Arsenal fans, so he had to run all the way to Arteta and hugged Tazige.

Arsenal fans from afar did not hesitate to give Lacazette a warm applause.

You know, for a long time before, they disliked Lacazette, because this guy spent 53 million euros on Arsenal when he transferred from Lyon in 2017!

However, after joining, the data is miserable.

You can only give a few assists and a few goals in a season, and you can't even get a double.

In the four seasons since joining Arsenal, Lacazette has scored a total of 28 goals, an average of seven goals per year!

High salary and low ability, that's what I'm talking about!

But this situation changed immediately after Pepe joined the team!

Pepe transferred from Lille in 2019 and spent 80 million euros on Arsenal! He scored eight goals in his first season and 16 in his second, making 89 appearances in two seasons and scoring a total of 24 goals.

One ball costs 3.33 million euros!

After seeing Pepe's value and data, Arsenal fans suddenly felt that Lacazette's performance was not unacceptable.

Everyone turned their guns around and began to spray Pepe instead, so the pressure on Lacazette was greatly reduced, and he began to gradually get the applause and encouragement of the fans.

……

"More than half of the credit for this goal belongs to Zheng Yaxin, and it is fed directly to his mouth, and Lacazette only needs to raise his leg to shoot."

While the Arsenal players were celebrating, the celebrity Sun had already given the credit for the goal clearly.

Instructor Zhan and Instructor Zhang looked at each other and smiled, and the latter echoed in unison.

"Hey, hey... Yes, that's right! Without Zheng Yaxin's pass, this ball would not have been possible."

"Zheng Yaxin's role now is more comprehensive than Campos's back then, not only responsible for goalkeeping, but also responsible for scoring goals, organizing, and almost doing all the work in the front, middle and back positions by himself."

"Of course, if you want to compete for this season's Golden Boy Award, Zheng Yaxin still needs to score more penalties, otherwise it will be a little difficult to compete for Pedri!"

"After all, Barcelona's publicity ability is great

The family understands it."

After Director Zhan finished this sentence with concern, his eyes turned to the big screen.

On the pitch, the Brighton players were discouraged.

Off the pitch, Brighton coach Graham Potter was speechless.

Frankly speaking, Brighton really didn't give Arsenal any chance, but it was Zheng Yaxin's big kick that allowed Arsenal to get a few threatening shots and score a goal. ….

This is outrageous!

This conceded goal also disrupted all of Potter's pre-game deployments.

For a weak team, there are only two options to go on, either go on the offensive and equalize with a goal; Either accept the situation and accept the loss.

It is foreseeable that Arsenal, who are already in a passive position, will definitely not attack.

Brighton boss Graham Potter pondered for a while, gritted his teeth, and motioned for his disciples to continue attacking.

Losing one is also losing, and losing two is also losing.

is willing to cut his whole body, and dares to pull the emperor off the horse.

Today, there is no other way but to work hard.

After the celebration, the game continued.

With more than 20,000 fans cheering, Brighton continued to press Arsenal on the attack.

But football is not about whoever speaks louder wins, but who has better skills, better luck and stronger determination to win.

In the games that followed, Brighton created a couple of good chances to hit the ball into the Arsenal penalty area, but basically failed to get a shot on goal.

Although the center-back combination of Gabriel and Ben White is very average in back-to-back defense and turns like an aircraft carrier, there is still no problem in frontal defense.

The two of them took turns to show the true colors of the main central defenders of the Premier League leaders, and constantly defused the danger.

If you really can't resolve it, you don't have to be nervous, there is Zheng Yaxin behind you.

As a result, although Brighton has invested more attacking forces than before, Arsenal's goal is still only thrilling and immovable.

As time went on, Brighton's side, from the coach to the players, became anxious.

On the field, Brighton failed to attack in a round, and the ball came to Arsenal's side.

Odegaard got the ball and immediately stuffed it to Saka, who went down the left touchline and got a ball down the defence of Brighton's right-back Duffy, and then took the lead to complete the overtake and go around the front!

Then he relied on his strong speed to shake off Duffy, cut diagonally into the penalty area, and then quickly passed the ball to the middle.

Lacazette shook off central defender Dunk and slapped the horse to kill,

But just as he was about to shoot with his feet up, the linesman raised his flag.

Offside!

"It should have been a miscalculation."

"There shouldn't be an offside on this goal!"

In front of the big screen, Director Zhan had not watched the replay before he concluded that the ball was not offside.

Soon, VAR footage came out.

Lacazette bulged out a little because his ass was too upturned.

But offside is determined based on where the player's feet are, not on the butt.

So this ball is not offside.

But the referee has already ruled offside, so there is no way to change it.

And the game has been played for a while, and it is impossible to go back and play according to the situation of not being offside.

"It was a miscalculation and Brighton should be thankful, otherwise there would have been a high probability of falling behind by two goals."

"Because we are currently leading the scoreline, the Arsenal players don't mind this miscalculation."

"The game went on, Brighton attacked with the ball."

"There are about 10 minutes left until the end of the first half."

"Arsenal have half a hand on a seven-game winning streak."

……

on the field.

Brighton are still attacking, attacking, attacking.

Even if they couldn't score the ball, they still firmly passed the ball into the box again and again. ….

It's just that these goals have been cleared by Arsenal defenders again and again.

After Brighton's Nth cross failed, Zheng Yaxin got the ball.

He took two steps with the ball in his hands, and lifted his foot to shoot hard.

Another direct shot from a distance!

However, judging from the trajectory of the ball flying out, it is obvious that the shot is off.

Fortunately, the black and fast Saka was very powerful, striding all the way to save the ball before it flew off the right baseline.

He looked up and saw that there was no one within a radius of twenty meters!

Immediately rushed all the way into the penalty area with the ball.

But by this time the Brighton players were basically back in place, Dunk was close to his side, constantly interfering as Saka took the ball forward, and in a hurry, his right foot swept directly to Saka's right ankle.

Saka is waiting for him to foul.

Immediately fell in the air and fell in the restricted area, and the fall was very exaggerated, as if it had been hit by a high-speed truck.

Beep!!

The referee's whistle blew, but he did not immediately make a decision, but pressed the headset to communicate with the referee.

After 30 seconds, the communication ended,

The referee pointed to twelve yards.

Penalty kick!

Seeing that the team won the penalty, Zheng Yaxin jumped three feet high and ran from the backfield at a trot.

Then he was pulled by the sleeve of Lacazette.

Lacazette looked at him with blank eyes and said in a low voice, "Zheng... Can I take a penalty for this ball? I haven't scored a brace in years..."

Zheng Yaxin was silent.

I haven't scored a brace in years, and that's pretty miserable.

But what does this have to do with me?

As a goalkeeper, I need to score goals, I need to brush up on the data!

Otherwise, what will I compete for the Golden Boy Award?

Zheng Yaxin was deciding to refuse Lacazette's request, and overheard the latter say: "Can I supply you with the 15,000 goal bonus, and you still earn an assist for nothing..."

Hearing this, Zheng Yaxin raised his eyebrows.

"Only 15,000? If I'm not mistaken, your goal prize is 20,000 each, right? It's all in the newspapers, you can't fool me."

Lacazette immediately said happily, "That's twenty thousand!"

"Deal!"

Zheng Yaxin turned around and ran back to the backcourt.

Anyway, getting an assist is quite good.

At least another solid step towards the assist king.

As for scoring goals?

Don't worry, this game will never be 2-0.

Because, Brighton is already in a hurry.

……….

Look at the white clouds
