Football: The Hand that Covers the Sky

Chapter 400: Start the new season with the championship

   Arsenal boarded the plane returning to London on the night of the end of the game, and in order to quickly adjust the time difference, Arsenal players could not sleep on the plane.

   Two days after returning to London, Arsenal will usher in the Community Shield. Although it is only a trivial champion, Arsenal still hope to win.

  Since he won the Triple Crown last season, why not go further in the new season? Take all the honors you deserve.

   Let's not talk about defending or not defending, at least we must get the Community Shield and Club World Cup champions first to continue the glory of last season's Triple Crown.

  Especially the Club World Cup, this is another honor that Arsenal has never touched before. Although the gold content of the Club World Cup is not high, the name of the Club World Cup is still very famous.

   Bringing championship teams from all continents of the world together to determine a world club championship, it sounds very exciting.

   It was the afternoon when he returned to London. Wenger directly asked the players to go back. Li Yimo, who returned home again, did not go to bed directly. With Li Shou's physique and adaptability, he can adjust after a sleep at night.

  According to the current situation of Arsenal, if they want to win the Community Shield Cup, Arsenal can only rely on Li Shou. This is not only clear to Wenger, but also to Li Shou himself.

   Not everyone has the resilience of Li Shou. This can be seen from the training on the second day. The Arsenal players are all exhausted and they have been out of training.

   Wenger had no choice but to give the players a half-day holiday here, so the first day back to London was actually only half a day of training, but Li Shou did not leave.

  The game against Villarreal reminded Li Shou, if he doesn't want to miss a free kick as before, he must improve his skills as soon as possible.

   In the new season, Li Shou has set himself an ambitious goal. In the absence of Arsenal's management, Li Shou can only rely on himself to achieve this goal, so the free kick success rate is very important.

   Wenger knows the strength of Arsenal, so does Li Shou, and even the whole of Europe, but the club owner feels that his team is strong and does not need signings.

   On the third day of returning to London, the Community Shield game officially began. Fortunately, this game is still in London, Wembley Stadium, and everything is there for the finals of the Premier League domestic cup.

   After another day, the situation of the Arsenal players has obviously improved a lot, but even so, the Arsenal players are in a very ordinary state.

   So when the game really started, Arsenal directly opened the full retreat mode, and in order to fight back better, Welbeck replaced Giroud with a faster speed.

   In this Asian gold game, Welbeck was in a very good state. He scored three goals in three games. In contrast, Giroud only scored one goal.

   Walcott is as good as Welbeck, so Sanchez, Welbeck and Walcott are the starters of Arsenal's striker.

   The other positions have not changed. Goalkeeper Li Shou, defense line Monreal, Mertesacker, Koscielny and Debuich, if it were not the cause of injury, Debuich must have been the team's starting last season.

   The midfielder is still the old trio, Coquelin, Cazorla and Ramsey. This is also the strongest combination of Arsenal's midfielder, even if Arteta recovers from injury, he can't shake it.

   Wenger also implemented his plan. He pushed Li Shou into the position of deputy captain. Arsenal's players didn't say anything about it. After all, Li Shou's role in the team is obvious to all.

   As for Wenger's purpose for doing this, everyone also understands in their hearts, and many also think that Li Shou is actually quite suitable to be the captain. Li Shou's strength is beyond doubt. In addition to his strength, Li Shou has a big heart.

   On the other side, Chelsea are also doing their best. Being overtaken by Arsenal last season is definitely a shame for Chelsea and Mourinho, so Chelsea in the new season wants to play this shame.

   However, the development of things seems to be different from what Chelsea and Mourinho thought, although Chelsea firmly took the initiative after the start of the game and once suppressed Arsenal at halftime.

   From the seventh to the sixteenth minute for a full nine minutes, Arsenal actually failed to get the ball over half of the court once, and in these nine minutes, Chelsea completed a 4-foot shot.

   But Li Shou in front of Arsenal is like a wall that can't be pushed down, blocking all Chelsea's shots.

And Li Shou can do more than that. In the 22nd minute, Chelsea suffered the most serious blow of the game. Li Shou made a clearance to create a counterattack opportunity. Walcott received the ball and was rushed past Cahill. , And then a tragedy happened.

   Cahill pulled to Walcott, and then the referee took out a red card and gave it to Cahill, because Cahill was the last defensive player in Chelsea's back line.

   This red card almost announced the final result of the game. Although the Arsenal players are in average form, Chelsea's players are also very resilient, without any intention to give up.

   The difference in numbers still determines the outcome of this game. Before the end of the first half, Arsenal had another chance to counterattack and Sanchez had a single chance. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

   In order to completely help Courtois right Chelsea this season, he sent away the heroic goalkeeper Cech, who played for the team for 11 years, who went to Liverpool for 10 million pounds.

   Courtois's performance was not bad in this game. Arsenal blew the counterattack horn after the number was inferior, but the final shot was rejected by Courtois.

   But this time Courtois obviously failed to continue his good performance, or Sanchez did not give Courtois a chance at all, and Sanchez decisively took a shot when Courtois abandoned the door and rushed halfway.

   After all, although Courtois is excellent, it can't be compared with Li Shou. Li Shou's response and physical fitness can allow him to perform miracles in the face of single-handedness, but Courtois can't do it.

   Sanchez’s goal almost made the game lose suspense, but Chelsea did not think so. Mourinho replaced Falcao at halftime, and Chelsea unexpectedly ranked four forwards with one less man.

   But unfortunately, the four forwards could not help Chelsea change the score on the court. Instead, Arsenal focused on Chelsea’s few opportunities in the backcourt to expand the lead.

Cazorla, Ramsey, Sanchez and Walcott cooperated with four people. The fast passing of the four broke Chelsea's counterattack. Welbeck got an open opportunity. Cazorla immediately sent a diagonal pass. , Welbeck, who received the pass, completely killed the game with a push.
