Chapter 244 Victory in the First Battle
In the Emirates Cup, Li Yuxin didn't play, but watched his teammates work together, quietly waiting for the arrival of the league!

On August 8, Arsenal ushered in the first game of the league against Fulham.

Fulham's history at Arsenal's home ground is terrible, especially in the Premier League era.In the Premier League era, Fulham's home record at Arsenal was disastrous.In the past few years, Fulham has been either even or negative here.

Fulham is also Arsenal's favorite opponent at home.

Of course, the strength of Fulham is not as good as Arsenal.No matter how poor Arsenal is, it is still a team that wants to play in the Champions League. Fulham has been a relegation team in recent years.The goals of the two parties are different.

Although Arsenal has left a lot of people this season, Arsenal's strength still surpasses Fulham.In this game, Wenger played Flamini, Diaby and Cesc Fabregas in the midfield.

Arteta controls the rhythm of the game, Diaby makes connections, and Fabregas is the core player in the midfield.The offense was all in charge of Fabregas.

The two wingers are Bale on the left and Walcott on the right. Of course Wenger sent captain Li Yuxin on the front line as expected.This kind of midfield strength almost crushed Fulham.

At the beginning of the game, Fulham only tested Arsenal in the opening stage.After two crosses came and were resolved by Szesny, Fulham's offense disappeared directly.

When the three tricks in the opening stage did not work, Fulham quickly retreated.

defense.

No shame in defense.

Speaking of which, when the Premier League started that year, everyone still encouraged offense.Graham's Arsenal, because the game was so ugly, even the Arsenal fans themselves booed Graham.

In fact, there were many teams that played defensive counterattacks in the Premier League back then.

There are even those who play turtle defense.But such a team has been criticized by many fans.Even his own team would not like such a team.

However, it is the current Chelsea coach Mourinho who pierced this window.Back then, the upstart Chelsea and the arrogant and unruly Mourinho, their combination became an alternative in European football, as well as in English football.But their combination is a match made in heaven. Their combination is definitely the most worthy of a close-up in Chelsea's history.

At that time, Mourinho used defensive counterattack and won two Premier League titles.He even wiped out countless giants in European football.No matter how ugly the game is, Mourinho has a way to mobilize the emotions of the fans.There are ways to get fans to cheer for the team.

Mourinho is awesome, he brought a lot of different things to the Premier League.Tell everyone what is the defense.My defense can win the championship, and my defense can win the victory.My defense is also loved by the fans and cheered by the fans.

After that, many teams began to imitate Mourinho.

There is no shame in facing a strong team defense.

Fulham came to Arsenal's home court. Even if they can't get three points, taking one point is a good result.

Therefore, Fulham's style of play in this game is very pragmatic.When a tentative attack on Arsenal was unsuccessful, they immediately retreated to their own half.Then there is Arsenal besieging the opponent.

It is difficult for Li Yuxin to adapt.

In the past, although the team also had an advantage.But like this game.The ball possession rate reached 70.00%, and the entire ball was rolling on Fulham's side. This is the first time I have seen this situation.

Although Li Yuxin's offensive methods are very rich, but Li Yuxin still has the best effect in the counterattack.Not when besieging opponents like this.There is a lack of space to besiege the opponent, and Li Yuxin's speed is greatly reduced. After all, he is not a center forward. His center forward style of play is similar to that of Henry instead of Drogba.

Now Arsenal's style of play is indeed different. Due to the rise of Cesc Fabregas, Arsenal began to control the ball.

run.

This kind of ball possession advantage, Li Yuxin seems to be able to create more opportunities only if the frontcourt players keep running and changing positions.Allows midfield players behind to have more passing lanes.But Li Yuxin soon discovered that Arsenal's frontcourt players don't like running very much.

I also don't like switching positions at will.

They don't move.Li Yuxin can't run around at will.You can't take their place.

This makes Li Yuxin can only stay in the middle, which feels very bad.But Li Yuxin didn't find out how to deal with this situation.However, Li Yuxin is thinking about how to integrate into the team's new system, and there is no one who needs to adapt.

It is completely seamless with the team.

Bell.

This is really a very good player.I just came to Arsenal for a few days, and I came to Arsenal's pre-match training camp more than 20 days later than Li Yuxin.But after playing today, there is no awkwardness at all.

Bale is more excited than any other Arsenal player.

Extraordinary, breakthrough, passing, there is no Bell who can't.Seeing Bell play like this.Li Yuxin is not willing to lag behind, Li Yuxin wants to play more roles.So Li Yuxin thought for a while, and then stepped forward to grab Walcott.Said: "When Gareth has the ball, let's run a lot and switch positions. Also create some opportunities for him to pass the ball, and I will respond to you."

"Arsenal has been besieging Fulham for 10 minutes, but they still haven't found a good way to score. The only good chance is Bale's long shot in the [-]th minute, creating some threats."

"Diaby, give the ball to Bell. Bell played very well in this game. He didn't need time to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League. Bell, Bell accelerated and ran away from Larsson. Bell passed the ball. Li Yuxin received the ball."

Bell handed the ball to Li Yuxin while running, and Li Yuxin happened to be walking towards the middle.

After receiving the ball, Li Yuxin passed the ball lightly again.Very simple cooperation, this kind of cooperation is the simplest in Arsenal, or it is the simplest and most practical among the strong teams in European football.Although Li Yuxin and Bell practiced together for a short time, both of them are very capable players.

Some things don't need to be practiced together to create a tacit understanding.

Just like this two over one.

Li Yuxin already understood Bell's meaning when Bell passed the ball.So the moment he catches the ball, he passes the ball back again.The two easily passed a Fulham midfielder.After handing the ball back to Bell, Li Yuxin suddenly turned around and ran towards the penalty area in the middle.

And saw Li Yuxin running towards the restricted area.Walcott suddenly turned to the left to find a space.

involuntarily.

When Walcott saw Li Yuxin running to the middle, he ran to the left involuntarily.Walcott was a little annoyed as he ran, how could he listen to Li Yuxin like this.

However, with Walcott running like this, he immediately took away the central defender Kular who was defending him.It was really because Arsenal passed the ball very well and Kular was afraid that Walcott would receive the ball on the left.

And Li Yuxin ran directly to Walcott's position just now.

"Bell, direct pass!"

"The pass was excellent, and it happened to come to Li Yuxin. Li Yuxin, O'Shea is keeping up with Li Yuxin."

Bale's passing was really good.

After seeing Lee Woo-shin's running route, Bell found the best passing route.The ball just passed into Li Yuxin's running route.It's a split-second run and pass.Simple pass and cut coordination.

But it is precisely because of the lightning and flint that Fulham, who has always organized and defended well, failed to find out.

Of course, there is also a reason that Bell's speed is too good. Several defensive midfielders in Fulham are defending Bell and preventing him from breaking through.Moreover, Li Yuxin broke into the penalty area too unexpectedly.In addition, Li Yuxin's speed was too fast, so there was such a momentary loophole.

This is the running of the front field.

The offensive players in the frontcourt need to run and change positions non-stop in order to give the midfielders space and opportunities to pass the ball.The simple running of Li Yuxin and Walcott allowed Bell to seize the opportunity.

It was O'Shea who responded the fastest.Before Li Yuxin got the ball, he immediately stepped forward to block the front, trying to block Li Yuxin's shooting route.

Li Yuxin was going to shoot directly.

But it was found that O'Shea had already flew forward, so the shot could easily be blocked by O'Shea.Therefore, Li Yuxin abruptly stopped his body in an instant.Then he smashed the ball with his right foot.

This action looks simple, but it is very difficult to do.

Especially Li Yuxin's speed is relatively fast, he wants to stop his body, and he is even prone to injury.

Fortunately, Li Yuxin's explosive power is strong, and sudden stops and turns are also common practice items.But O'Shea didn't have it so easy.He was desperate to block Li Yuxin's shot, so he didn't think about that at all.

When Li Yuxin stopped and turned suddenly, O'Shea also wanted to stop suddenly, but he couldn't stop his body.O'Shea is old and can no longer stop and turn like he did when he was young.

Li Yuxin kicked the ball back, but O'Shea threw it aside because of too much force.

"Li Yuxin, Li Yuxin smashed the ball and completely passed O'Shea. Li Yuxin, Li Yuxin has only the goalkeeper in front of him."

After Li Yuxin stopped the ball, he looked up at the goalkeeper's position.Although it was inside the restricted area, there were still many defensive players coming, but Li Yuxin did not rush to shoot.On the contrary, he calmly observed the goalkeeper's position before shooting with his left foot.

"Lee, shoot!"

"goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Lee! Lee! Lee! It's his first official game of the season for Arsenal, opening the scoring and putting Arsenal ahead of Fulham. Can't there be a better start?"

"This year's team's signings are very weak. But Li is still sharp, and Gareth and the others are becoming more and more mature. Today's Arsenal is still a team that can compete for the championship!" The commentator Senke said emotionally
Fulham's thinking is simple.

Defend, defend, defend.Fulham wants to make a zero-to-zero at Arsenal's home court. When Arsenal is anxious, Fulham will steal another one if they are lucky.Maybe you can take three points.

When facing Arsenal, many teams have this idea.In particular, Arsenal's strength has been declining in recent years, and there are not many intensive defensive methods against some teams.

Arsenal players are playing more and more standing up, always unable to break through the opponent's defense.

So Fulham's choice is very pragmatic.

Even if you don't have three points, you can take one point away.

But Li Yuxin's ball disrupted Fulham's arrangement at once, completely making Fulham very passive.So the Fulham coach was very angry.

But then, Li Yuxin used the corner kick to hit a beautiful dead corner, "Ooooh--"

The Arsenal fans also stood up and cheered the moment Li Yuxin scored the goal.Because with Li Yuxin's goal, Arsenal basically won the game.

A brace.

No one is happier than Li Yuxin.Li Yuxin thought of No. [-] behind him, and some bad rumors about No. [-].At Arsenal, the number nine has been an ominous number for Arsenal this decade.

In the past ten years or so, Arsenal's No. [-] has basically never really succeeded in Arsenal.If the success is Anelka.

But Anelka finally joined Real Madrid, and then his state went from bad to worse.Except for Anelka, the other players were unlucky.The owner of the No. [-] jersey, except for Park Joo-young last season, is a well-known talent in European football.

But after wearing the No. [-] jersey, no one played it.On the contrary, many of them died halfway.Like Reyes, he was a top talent who was snapped up by the whole European football back then.It's a pity that the final result is very helpless.

So here at Arsenal.There is nothing sacred about number nine, on the contrary, it has a sense of curse.

But Li Yuxin completely broke the curse!

Now behind, Fulham can only attack.But for Fulham, their strength is not enough to fight against Arsenal.In fact, not to mention Fulham, among the Premier League teams, there are very few who can really beat Arsenal in a confrontation.Because Arsenal is best at playing confrontation, Arsenal's passing and ball possession have great advantages.Fulham and Arsenal will die in a confrontation.But Di Canio has nothing to do now.

Being behind zero to two is exactly the same as being behind zero to three, both are zero points.

Therefore, Fulham can only attack.

But as long as Fulham dares to come out.Then there are vacancies everywhere.They drew back and Arsenal struggled to find space in their crowd.But when they play out, there is a big gap, not just one or two.

Especially for players like Li Yuxin.

After the game started, Li Yuxin had no chance to display his amazing speed.But when Fulham comes out, Li Yuxin's speed has room to play.Speaking of Arsenal's wings, there are two speed madmen.

That's why Walcott and Bell had more fun now. In the 58th minute, Bell made a breakthrough from the left and made a pass to Li Yuxin. He scored a hat-trick in front of the goal.

Arsenal finally beat Fulham 5-0!
