Football's hand covers the sky

Chapter 254 The Game Begins

"Oni, why do you want to watch the football? I don't even know when you became a fan?" On the way to the Emirates Stadium, two Korean women who came to London to play followed the crowd to the Emirates Stadium.

"Since we are all in London, we must go to watch a game live," said the woman named O'Neill.

"It should be hard to buy tickets for this game." Although neither of them are fans, they still know how difficult it is to buy tickets for this game.

"Of course, that's the match between Arsenal and Manchester United. Otherwise, I was lucky and someone refunded the ticket, so we can only watch the game in the hotel," said the woman named O'Neill.

"That's right~~~ Don't you know Park Ji-sung xi?" For Koreans, Manchester United must mention Park Ji-sung, and Park Ji-sung seems to still live in Manchester even after he retires.

"Oni, I don't think I know Park Ji-sung xi, I just participated in the recording of the show with him, and it was a few years ago," another woman replied.

"That's considered acquaintance. I wonder if I have a chance to meet Li Shouxi?" The woman named O'Neill suddenly kicked Li Shou.

"Oh~~~ Oni originally wanted to see Li Shouxi, but Li Shouxi should be Son Yejin's boyfriend." As Son Yejin's "former" boyfriend, Li Shou is also a well-known figure in Korea.

"Zhien~~~ What's on your mind? I just think that Li Shouxi is very courageous, and I don't know when Ernie and I will be chased by a man ten years younger," said the woman named Ernie.

"Haha~~~ When Ernie said that, I realized that Ernie and Senior Son Yejin are related," said the woman named Zhien.

The two women talked all the way into the Emirates Stadium. At this time, the players on both sides of the Emirates Stadium have almost warmed up and are preparing to return to the locker room for final preparations.

…………………………………………….

"Arsenal has been getting good news recently, and both major injuries have returned." Although Giroud and Walcott were not on the starting list, there are two names on the substitute list.

"Yeah, this is really good news for Arsenal, especially Giroud's early return from injury." Such a focused game, how can Zhan Jun and Zhang guide be missing.

"Compared to Welbeck, Giroud can not only score goals stably, but also act as a bridgehead to create space for Sanchez and Griezmann." Zhan Jun and Director Zhang were talking about Giroud and Welbeck.

The other half, Andy Gray and Paul Merson, are also talking about this issue. Giroud's recovery has eased Arsenal's offense to a certain extent, but Arsenal's most serious problem is not the striker.

There is no one available in the back line. Arsenal's back line has only two central defenders. With Koscielny not recovering from injury, Arsenal can only let Monreal comeo.

Fortunately, with Li Shou's performance against the sky and Arsenal's recent luck, no one at the center back was injured, otherwise Arsenal would have to go to the youth team to recruit people.

At present, there are a lot of voices about the signing of Arsenal's central defender, but there is no substantial progress, so Arsenal can only rely on Li Shou.

"Today is another big test for Lee. Before the game, the bookmakers even offered odds on whether Lee will concede his first goal after joining Arsenal against Manchester United," Andy Gray said.

"I believe that all Arsenal fans will choose not to" Paul Merson expressed the aspirations of Arsenal fans. Although Li Shou's refusal to concede a goal can ensure that Arsenal can win, at least they will not lose.

Li Shou didn't know that even gaming companies were coming to intervene now, but even if he knew Li Shou didn't care, anyway, regarding gambling, he wouldn't even participate in gambling.

In the locker room of the home team, Wenger had already finished the final mobilization. In fact, facing Manchester United, Wenger didn't need mobilization at all. Although the smell of gunpowder between the two teams was not as strong as before, after all, the two teams have been fighting in the Premier League for so long.

And in recent years, Arsenal's record against Manchester United has been very bad. Arsenal have won one of the last 14 matches against Arsenal.

"Ohhh~~~ Players from both sides are on the field, and the game will start soon." Soon, under the reminder of the staff, the players from both sides gathered in the player channel, and then walked onto the court led by the referee Mike Dean.

Arsenal lineup:

Goalkeeper: Li Shou

Defenders: Gibson, Monreal, Mertesacker, Chambers

Midfielders: Ramsey, Arteta, Wilshere

Forwards: Griezmann, Welbeck, Sanchez

While Derbyg and Koscielny were still injured, Arsenal's defense had no changes at all. It was almost the same as the defense and had a striker. The only adjustments that could be made were the midfielders.

On the bench, both Giroud and Walcott entered the squad, in addition to Cazorla, Flamini, Chamberlain and a large number of midfielders.

Manchester United lineup:

Goalkeeper: De Gea

Defenders: Luke Shaw, Blackett, McNair, Smalling

Midfielders: Di Maria, Carrick, Fellaini, Valencia

Forwards: Van Persie, Rooney

The defense of Manchester United and Arsenal is really the same. Although Manchester United spent a lot of money to buy defenders in the past summer, they are currently lying in hospital beds, or this is also an opportunity for Arsenal.

It is undeniable that De Gea is one of the best goalkeepers in football today, but he is not Li Shou, otherwise Manchester United would not have lost so many points in the previous game.

Why did Li Shou attract the attention of the entire English media?Wasn't it because of Li Shou's performance that was almost against the sky, turning the impossible into a possibility, and carrying Arsenal forward abruptly.

Indeed, Sanchez has performed very well in the recent period, and his consecutive goals helped Arsenal win, but all of this is based on the premise of Li Shou's ability to keep the goal.

The whole of England knows how bad Arsenal's defense is, and it is because of this that they know how rare Li Shouneng's current performance is. Otherwise, why should the media pay attention to a goalkeeper who has just joined Arsenal for a short time?

With the referee McDean's whistle, the game just kicked off. Manchester United took the lead in the away game. Van Persie passed back to Carrick, who split to Di Maria's feet.

In order to get the Argentine, Manchester United spent 7500 million euros this past summer, which also broke the previous transfer record set by Chelsea in order to get Torres, and became the most expensive signing in Premier League history.

However, judging from the previous eleven rounds of the league, Di Maria did not seem to have shown his worth. Therefore, the media before the game made a lot of talk about this, saying that this was a game for Di Maria to prove his worth.

Well, the media used this trick when Manchester United played Chelsea before.
