Football's hand covers the sky

Chapter 408 Ominous Premonition

Although the luck in the game was a little bit bad, it is a happy thing to get a good start in itself, not to mention that Arsenal is just bad luck, not bad strength.

In terms of strength, Arsenal still crushed West Ham United. Arsenal had 22 shots in the game, but West Ham United couldn't get any of them.

However, Arsenal is not without problems. Compared with last season, Arsenal seems to rely more on Sanchez's breakthrough in offense. If Sanchez is not in good condition, Arsenal's wing attack will almost be paralyzed.

In fact, Arsenal is not empty on the wing, Walcott has breakthrough ability, Chamberlain can also play on the wing, but there are only 11 starters in a game, Arsenal can't increase the number of starters.

No matter how there is a problem, it needs to be solved. This is also the job of the head coach. As for the players, as long as they maintain their own state and strive to step on the field in the best state for each game.

After defeating West Ham United, Wenger gave the players a day off. It is relatively easy to go out of the season, so the players can still enjoy the holiday. When the season is promoted, Arsenal will start the third-line combat mode again.

Li Shou's vacation is very simple. Li Zhien is very busy. Although the TV series is over, she is still very busy, and very busy, releasing a new album and preparing for the concert.

Son Ye-jin is also very busy. She thought that work would make her forget about Li Shou, and then she arranged a lot of work for herself, but now she can't push it even if she wants to.

Lee Sunmi is also very busy. Wonder Girls will return in early August, and now they are really preparing to return to the stage, and it is impossible to leave Korea.

As for Kong Xiaozhen, even if Li Shou wanted to invite someone to come, he still had to ask if he was willing, and the two of them had an in-depth exchange, and Kong Xiaozhen did not want to continue the current relationship with Li Shou.

In fact, it is not bad if no one comes, at least this guy can concentrate on preparing for the new season, even if he is on vacation, he can also focus on free kick training.

The day off is spent in training like this. If Li Shou can continue today's training, he will be able to upgrade his free kick to the third level soon, but this is obviously impossible. He usually has to participate in the team's training and prepare for one game after another.

In this way, Li Shou and Arsenal's players are preparing for the second round of the league, and Arsenal still do not need to leave London in the second round of the league, because the opponent in the second round is Crystal Palace.

Last season's Crystal Palace performed quite well, ranking in the middle of the standings. In the new season, Crystal Palace has also improved the lineup a lot.

This is also the biggest difference between the Premier League and the other major leagues. Except for the giants, few teams in the other major leagues can spend tens of millions of signings, but the Premier League is different. Even the relegated teams can get tens of millions.

For example, last season, the relegated Queens Park Rangers ranked at the bottom of the league, and they can still get a share of 9000 million euros after counting the broadcast share and ranking bonus.

As for last season's championship, the broadcast share alone was as high as 1.38 million. If the ranking bonus is included, Arsenal will get a total of more than 1.6 euros.

Such a huge share has also become the motivation for their respective teams to stay in the Premier League, and if they want to stay in the Premier League, they must continue to strengthen the team, so even if there are some teams in the rankings, they can spend tens of millions every summer transfer.

Let’s just talk about Crystal Palace. This summer they first bought Cabaye, who used to be the core of Newcastle United, from Paris Saint-Germain, and then bought Wickham from Sunderland. The two invested more than 2000 million pounds.

No, there are also wonderful clubs. Arsenal was the treble champion last season, winning the two most important championships of the league and the Champions League. It was the most profitable club last season. However, they have not invested half a cent so far this summer. They even made a small profit by selling a few players they didn't need.

Arsenal's money has gone there. Apart from normal expenses, most of it has gone into the owner's pocket. This is also the norm since Kroenke took over Arsenal.

Arsenal did nothing during the transfer, except that Wenger didn't know how to spend it. The main reason was that the boss took away the money.

This is the normal state of Arsenal in recent years. The biggest responsibility for Arsenal's poor performance lies with the team owner rather than the head coach Wenger, but the position of the head coach is usually blamed.

Selhurst Park Stadium, this is the stadium of Crystal Palace, and it is also the place where Beckham became famous. England's heartthrob once called the shocking half-time goal and scored it in this stadium.

Speaking of which, Beckham has retired for two years. The world of football has always been dominated by talented people from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years. Li Shou is the talent of this era and will also lead the way.

Compared with the first round, Arsenal's starting lineup has only one position changed. Bellerin replaced Derbyg. In the case of only playing one game a week, it is impossible for the starting lineup to change much.

The Crystal Palace is also the main force, and Cabaye and Wickham, who spent a lot of money to introduce, both made their first appearances. In addition to Zaha, the attack line of the Crystal Palace is still quite good.

Although it was an away game, Assen still took the initiative after the start of the game. Li Shou guessed and won the captain of the Crystal Palace. It was also the first time Li Shou appeared on the pitch as the captain.

Arteta is no longer young. Last season's serious injury had a great impact on his state, and Arsenal's midfielder is now stable. Even if the rotation is to give young players like Erhill a chance.

Unless the veteran is in very good condition, otherwise there is no one available. After all, the veteran has no future, but the young players have an unlimited future, especially young players like Arsenal have very good talents.

"Li actually wears the captain's armband. Could it be that Li's time at Arsenal has already entered the countdown?" We all know that whenever Arsenal wants to sell someone, that person must first serve as the team captain.

"I suddenly have an ominous premonition," said Paul Merson.

The fans didn't think there was anything at first, but following the words of Andy Gray and Paul Merson, the fans couldn't help but start to worry.

"This is not a good sign." In far away Asia, Zhan Jun couldn't help but start talking about the captain.

Their attention was quickly diverted, however, as the game had begun and Arsenal raced into the Crystal Palace half, with Sanchez receiving a pass from Cazorla.

The Chilean took the ball and immediately advanced along the wing and successfully completed the cross. Giroud had already rushed into the Crystal Palace penalty area at this time, but Giroud did not have a chance to attack the goal. The Crystal Palace defenders defended him very tightly.

So it was Griezmann who actually completed the shot. Giroud attracted the attention of the defenders. Griezmann shot from behind and the header was saved by the Crystal Palace goalkeeper.
