Chapter 416 Our Number 10

The first round of the Premier League was played in a hurry. When Newcastle United had just trained collectively for three days, the league on August 15 was about to start. Although this round of Arsenal vs Newcastle United can be the focus, in mid-August, the media is more concerned about the situation of the teams. The reporters who come with the team also want to see the strength that Newcastle United can show after the lineup is ready in the new season, and Arsenal is even more questioned.

In a four-day pre-season warm-up match, Arsenal beat Borreham -6-2, Van Persie scored twice after the opening, Reyes scored a hat-trick, and Pires also scored a goal.

Thousands of fans came to watch the performance of Arsenal's young players this night. Wenger used this game to evaluate the current lineup, which was also the last game of the pre-season warm-up. Borreham is only a first-class league club in Southern County, and after the start of the game, the strength gap between the two sides is large. The home team often loses control after getting the ball, and the opportunity and goal come from Arsenal.

Judging from this game, Arsenal's young players performed well.

Sones also watched the game video throughout the whole process to analyze Arsenal's current strength. In the first game of the Premier League, Newcastle United's victory is the best result. But to be honest, Sones has no confidence, mainly because the current Newcastle United can be said to have just emerged from the downturn of last season, even if they signed Tang. Jack, the best football player in the world, signed Michael. Owen, the golden boy of England, but the previous strength gap between the two sides is too big, and Sonnes doesn't know what level his team can play now.

This is also a game to test the strength of Newcastle United!

On August 14, that was, yesterday, Arsenal signed Cameroon defender Alessandre from Bastia, France. Song, the method is to loan for one year. In addition, Arsenal also has the right to sign the player first after the expiration of the loan period.

According to the agreement between Arsenal and Bastia, after a year of loan, Song can choose to sign him for 4 million euros, which gives Cameroonians a chance. If he can perform well, he may officially become a member of the Gunners in a year.

Song is 19 years old. He has been trying to train at Arsenal Club before. After a long investigation, Wenger decided to rent this young player. I have to admit that Song's performance is really very good. Wenger previously said about Song, "I will decide whether to keep him or not." The Frenchman Christenwar also trained with Song, but the latter's physical condition was not satisfactory, and Wenger had no intention of signing him for the time being.

Another young man who tried out in the club is not as lucky as Song, Uruguay's national goalkeeper Sebastian. Vieira has been doing well during the trial and moved Wenger. Arsenal is ready to sign a contract with him, but yesterday, Vieira failed the club's physical examination and was found to have old injuries, which made Arsenal have to continue to look for other goalkeepers.

Song is the second new player signed by Arsenal after Belarusian Heleb. After releasing Vieira and failing to introduce Baptista, Wenger has not made much move. I don't know if he will bring the second "world-class player" to Arsenal a promise before the transfer deadline on August 31.

Before the battle with Newcastle United, signing such a player made the media confused. It is impossible for Wenger to let Song play in the game. Although the young players are energetic, the strength gap is too big. The player worth 4 million euros is in Newcastle United and Arsenal. They can only be regarded as potential stocks.

The main concern of the media before the game is: Who can replace Vieira?

This is also a concern of the whole England and the whole world. Selling his captain for money is undoubtedly the biggest gamble in 10 years, and so far he has not bought an heir, which is even more confusing. If the newcomers don't come, who can be the good waist of Arsenal in the new season?

At present, Gilberto's condition has yet to be recovered. After all, Fabregas is still young, and his experience and thin body are taboos in the midfield. Flamini has performed poorly in the community shield, and he is also too young. In the past 10 years, Arsenal fans have always believed in Wenger, believe in the future, but can the "professor" be sure that he is right this time?

The betting company has made a choice: Chelsea is the favorite to win the championship, Manchester United is the second, and Arsenal is the third.

Without Vieira, Arsenal's odds plummeted.

Correspondingly, among the odds set by the betting company, Newcastle United's ranking is also very high. The team led by Sones ranks fifth, second only to Liverpool led by Benitez. The former is the European champion last season, but as soon as Don Jack left, Liverpool seems to have changed back to its original appearance. In short, this Last season's king of Europe and the Premier League runner-up were much depressed. They made so much money, but there was not much action in the transfer market, which made media reporters understand what Benitez and Liverpool were thinking about. For a team that had just sold players and made a net profit of 50 million pounds and won the European championship. In terms of buying one or two world-class teams, it is almost necessary to make the fans feel stable, but Liverpool has not made much action, so they bought a striker Crouch to replace Don Jack.

I don't know what Liverpool are doing.

Of course, the important thing is this England Focus Battle!

The first round of the Premier League started in a hurry. Arsenal has this feeling, and Newcastle United is even more so, because Newcastle United is away from home, and the opponent is Arsenal in London. Arsenal is not the focus. What's more depressed is that Arsenal is a London team.

Newcastle is in the northeast of England, the northernmost city of the 20 teams, while London is in the south of England, with a distance of 400 kilometers between the two cities. Newcastle United took the early high-speed railway, but when it arrived in London, it was also three hours later. After taking the train for three hours, the players' state is just compossible. Some players slept in the dark and just woke up in a bad state. After the team left London Station, there was a special bus to pick them up. As a result, they caught up with the rush hour of traffic in London at noon. Fortunately, there were no fans to stop them, otherwise Newcastle United might miss the game. It's over.

When the team arrived at Haibury Stadium, it was only half an hour before the start of the game.

The assistant coach hurriedly took the players to warm up. After such a long journey, Don Jack felt that his feet were a little weak. Under the gaze of more than 30,000 Arsenal fans at the scene, Don Jack and a group of new teammates kept doing pass and receiving training to find feelings, and the Arsenal team had already warmed up and left them not much time.

At this time, Sones attended the press conference before the game.

Media reporters have asked a lot of questions about Arsenal before. Regarding this game, Wenger replied calmly: "This is a test!"

Wenger said: "At the beginning of the first game of the season, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose! What I need to do is to see the status of the players and their adaptability to the team's tactics in the game, especially some new players. I will give them some playing time at a specific time.

"What about Newcastle United? Do you think Newcastle United will pose a threat to Arsenal?

"Of course, man!" Wenger said, "It was difficult before. In my impression, Newcastle United last season's performance was not very good, but now they have Jack, Liverpool's former No. 10, I don't say you know that that guy can't be prevented at all. This is the challenge we will face! We are not Chelsea or Manchester United. We are Arsenal, so we can't do too much targeted defense. What the team needs to do is to solidify the defense and score more goals than the opponent, so that we will win.

"With all due respect, it is difficult for Newcastle United's defense to suppress our attack or even score goals, so what we should do is to work hard on this point, and victory is just around the corner."

When Sones walked into the venue, Wenger stopped speaking, and the atmosphere became hot.

Mysterious Newcastle United!

This is what the media and fans say about Newcastle United. The other teams are there, and it is easy to evaluate their strength. However, Newcastle United, which has always taken offensive football as its style and has the most fans in England, is not easy to evaluate, because they have introduced the world's best offensive players this season. At the same time, they also have Michael. Owen, Alan. Shearer, these excellent players.

However, the other lineups of Newcastle United are ridiculously poor, which is equivalent to the configuration of the team downstream of the Premier League, so it is hard to say what Newcastle United can perform.

"When they perform well, they can even play Chelsea 3-1. If they don't perform well, it is not impossible to lose to Wigan Athletic..." England's legendary star Reinkel commented on the strength of Newcastle United: "Their game will be very interesting, because the unpredictability of the football game is most reflected in them!"

Yes...

Mourinho's Chelsea team is purely offensive football. Chelsea plays against strong teams. There is basically no need to think about scoring more goals. No matter whether Chelsea wins or loses, the score will not fluctuate too much. Arsenal's game is much more interesting than Chelsea's. Often Arsenal plays against the strong team, and there are many results of big wins and losses, and when Their front line performance is not good, and a tangled game begins, and Arsenal will lose miserably. As for Manchester United, stability has always been Sir Alex Ferguson's purpose, and the strength of their lineup also determines that Manchester United will focus on stability in the whole game.

The games of these giants can be predicted, but Newcastle United is really confusing. Even the bookmaker will consider setting the odds for Newcastle United for the new season. It's strange to put this on other teams that are ranked with Newcastle United, but there are many fans who can't stand Newcastle United. There are many fans who bet on Newcastle United to win the league championship every season, which is even more than some gamblers put on the dark horse, so the betting company We must be cautious and finally put Newcastle United's ranking only behind Liverpool, which has just won the European championship.

Mainly because they have Don Jack!

Istanbul Night, let all the fans around the world remember the name. That's how a player's strength is exerted to the extreme. Such a player who can change the course of the game really has a great impact on the team's strength, but the league is really hard to say. The main league is not a game. This is a long In the process, teams with stable performance in a season are more likely to win the league championship.

Is Newcastle Union Bank?

At the press conference, a reporter asked relevant questions: "Mr. Soness, how will Newcastle United deal with Arsenal's attack?"

This question is very ingenious, and Soness's answer is also crucial. The defense of Newcastle United has been controversial. Speaking of Newcastle United's offensive line, it is very gorgeous. Don Jack, Owen, Luke, Jenners, Dyer, Hiller and other excellent players are everywhere... As for defense... Some players can't even think of the name of a defensive player, maybe Scott, who has just transferred. Parker is one.

" Arsenal's attack?"

Sones is worried about the team's poor train condition. It's just a routine to come to the venue. Suddenly asked this kind of ** question, his brain is confused: "What attack? Are you talking about Arsenal's attack? No, no, no..." He couldn't think of what to say. He just said a few 'no' in a row: "What Arsenal attack? Why should we deal with their attack?

"Because Newcastle United will play against Arsenal later..." The reporter's rational prompt.

"Of course!"

Soness was sure: "Of course I know that our two teams are going to play. This is a game to test Newcastle United's new season!" He didn't talk about victory or defeat, but only about testing, which was a clever statement. Then Sones came to his sense and said, "I just said, why should we deal with their attack!" No, this is wrong. They should deal with our attack. You can ask Mr. Wenger how Arsenal's defense will face the bombing of Newcastle United. How can they prevent our No. 10 Jack's shot?

'Our No. 10'... When Sonnes said this sentence, he felt a warm flow of his body. In the past, everyone mentioned 'Liverpool's No. 10', but now this sentence can become 'Newcastle United's No. 10'. That kind of word difference makes Sonness feel very comfortable.

Jack, only belongs to Newcastle United!
