Chapter 457 New Beginning

Arsenal's performance in the transfer market this summer is very smooth, not crazy at all, and there are no more big money besides Luke Shaw.

Wenger has his own plan. He believes that Arsenal no longer need to buy many players every summer to prove their appeal in the transfer market.That's not going to cost money.

Arsenal now has a big framework. Li Yuxin, Bale and Ozil are the main offensive players. Wanyama, Koscielny, Vermaelen, and Bennetia are also very stable in defense. Although goalkeeper Buffon is old, he is as stable as a rock.

All Arsenal have to do now is to increase the thickness of the bench.

It is not necessary to buy too many players with main strength, but it will cause an imbalance in the locker room.

So in this year's transfer market, Arsenal has been very restrained.

What he is worried about is the negative impact that the upcoming World Cup will bring to the team.

In the Manchester City team, there are many players who participated in the World Cup,
In this way, the players will be in a good state after the start of the new season. After all, the World Cup is still very attractive to young people.

During that time, the state of the team may have some ups and downs. At this time, it depends on the captain Li Yuxin and veteran players like Buffon...

From the perspective of the training camp, the players' training status is quite good, and their physical condition is also very good.

And the atmosphere of the team is also very good. The summer in London is very mild, and the temperature generally does not exceed 20 degrees. When you wake up in the morning, you may even feel cool and pleasant. Even at noon, when the temperature is the highest in the day, as long as you go to a place where there is no sunlight, you will cool down immediately.

This is similar to Southampton!
Luke Shaw was awakened by the sound of hurried footsteps in the morning, and then he heard the doorbell.

"Luke, it's already 6:30, it's time to get up!" Li Yuxin said as soon as the door of the apartment opened, and then ran to call other people...

Newcomers like Luke Shaw will live in temporary single apartments rented by the club. These two-bedroom apartments are clean and simple, but they are still comfortable. Ji Dong personally selected them before the end of last season.

As for people with families like Aduriz, the club has started to contact him about renting a house, the purpose is to hope that he can settle down in London as soon as possible and devote himself to the competition.

Li Yuxin is the captain of the team, so he came to call in person, and Luke Shaw didn't dare to delay, because he was just in the middle of a club that had just been promoted to the Premier League in Southampton, and Arsenal was also a traditional giant in England.

Big clubs have the rules of big clubs. Arsenal is not in line with Resica. To play here, you must pay 12 points of attention. At the same time, you must follow the rules here. For example, when you go to the training ground every day, you must wear the jersey of the club sponsor, which is the jersey of Puma. The latter signed a sponsorship contract with Arsenal this season and aims to enter the British market.

After washing and dressing, Luke Shaw left the apartment and jogged towards the Kearney base.

This is what Li Yuxin and other veteran players told them yesterday. Since the head coach has a habit of conducting high-intensity training as soon as the training time is up, the players must warm up in advance. Therefore, running from the street where they live to Kearney just happens to warm up their bodies.

"Hi Gigi, how was your summer?"

"Hey, Michael. I've followed, should go on holiday next door, Aaron's got a tan!"

The group of long-lost teammates in the locker room got together on the first day, and immediately everyone was talking about it. The topic they talked about was nothing more than how they passed their summer vacation.

But this group of players who were talking excitedly didn't slow down their movements at all. They changed clothes while tidying up the closet. Their movements were extremely skillful. It seemed that they often did this on weekdays!

"Hey, Luke!" As soon as Li Yuxin saw Luke Xiao approaching the door, he immediately beckoned him to go in.

Immediately, everyone in the locker room set their sights on this strange face who looked a little shy.

"Luke Shaw?" When passing by the first person, the German who was much taller than Luke Shaw stretched out his hand and asked with a smile. After receiving Luke Shaw's affirmative answer, he introduced himself, "Pell Mertesacker, you can call me Per like everyone else!"

"You can also call him Gao!" A big man with a beard next to him shouted with a smile, which immediately made everyone in the locker room laugh, but Mertesacker's nickname was indeed Gao. "I'm Giroud, you can call me Opel!"

"Or major!" Mertesacker smiled back.

There was another uproar in the locker room.

"My name is Cazorla and they all call me the third brother!" Cazorla smiled and shook hands with Luke Shaw.

"Wanyama, iron man!" Wanyama also introduced himself.

"

Everyone immediately laughed again.

"Come with me, my closet is here!" Li Yuxin waited until everyone had met before leading Luke Xiao to his closet, where a card with Luke Xiao's name was pasted on it.to make a distinction.

Immediately afterwards, Aduriz, the youth team came to the front line, and so on. The new players who joined the team this season came to the locker room one after another. As the captain of the team, Li Yuxin had met them yesterday and a few days ago, so he introduced his team members and wardrobe to them one after another.

"Currently there is another player in our team, that is Paulista. He is now representing Brazil in the U21 Copa America. He will return to the team later, and I will introduce you to everyone at that time!"

After the self-introduction, nearly half an hour passed, and the players all changed their clothes.Led by Li Yuxin, they came to Kearney's restaurant for a group meal.

After breakfast, they rested for a while. At 7:45, the team officially arrived at the first-team training ground in Kearney.

Wenger has already led the coaching staff to set up the training ground, looking forward to the arrival of the players
"Hi, guys!...," Wenger said with a smile.

"Okay, boss!" The players shouted in unison, only Aduriz and other newcomers who had just arrived did not speak.

"Did your vacation go well?"

"good!"

"Not bad!"

"very good!"

This time, the answers are varied, but it can be seen that after the vacation, the players are in a good mood.

"Old rules, go to the physical examination first, and start training 15k after 0 minutes?" Wenger didn't seem to have the slightest airs.

The players immediately dispersed.Started intense training,
As we all know, the new season of each national league starts with the Super Cup, but it is called differently in each country. It is called the Super Cup in other places, but in England this cup is called the Community Shield.

It was a match between last season's Premier League champions and the FA Cup champions.

Manchester City won this competition last season.

There used to be a so-called curse in the Community Shield Cup, which means that whoever wins the Community Shield Cup at the beginning of the season will definitely not be able to win the league championship.

However, the curse did not last long before it was broken.

It is rarely mentioned anymore.

Chelsea won the Community Shield Cup in the past few seasons, and also won the season's league championship.

The last time Arsenal participated in the Community Shield, they participated as the FA Cup champions.

In the last season, Manchester City won the league championship, but lost the FA Cup.

So this time they participated in the Community Shield as the league champions. Their opponent was Manchester City. Although the team Pellegloone took over did not win Manchester City in the league last season, they won the FA Cup.

This is also a continuation of the competition between the two teams that have been fighting to the end last season in the Community Shield.

Before this game, because many players were full of energy and morale, and participated in the pre-season training, Wenger planned to send the strongest lineup for this Community Shield game.

In addition, it can also give those players who have recently joined the team a chance to show themselves.

But everyone is most concerned about whether the new players will start at the same time in this game.

Before that, Manchester City played four warm-up games. In these four games, none of the starting lineups were the same. Wenger was experimenting with various personnel combinations.

Three days later, Manchester City and Arsenal gathered at the new Wembley Stadium to compete for the Community Shield.

This game also means that the new season of the Premier League has officially kicked off.

For Arsenal, Li Yuxin and Bell started, but Cazorla did not play, and Wilshere replaced him.

Walcott also did not start, replaced by Pogba.Although Walcott did not start in this game, there are many rumors that he may leave Arsenal.

Arsenal are going through a less visible purge...

In other positions, Wanyama, Luke Shaw, Koscielny and Vermaelen, Debussy and Buffon.

These are similar to the main lineup of last season. The biggest change is the offensive combination.

The reporters in the media seats all focused their attention on the two teams on the field, and the TV broadcast also knew what everyone was thinking. After giving Li Yuxin a close-up shot, Pellegrini was given a close-up shot.

But no one can find anything from the expressions of the two people.

The suspense can only be left in the game.

As the captain, Li Yuxin lost in the toss, so Manchester City got the kick-off.

Li Yuxin and Bell stood on both sides of the football, ready to kick off, and Ozil stood not far behind them, in the middle circle.

After all the players were in position, the referee blew his whistle, Bell gently pushed the football out, and then he went to the sidewalk.

At the same time, Li Yuxin also directly crossed the center line and rushed into Chelsea's half.

Ozil passed the football back directly.

Arsenal's first official game of the season has finally begun.

After the game started, Manchester City used their kick-off opportunity to attack Chelsea's goal.

The football was quickly passed to the feet of center Li Yuxin.

Everyone's focus fell on him.

Want to see what he will do next.

Li Yuxin turned his back to the attacking direction at this time, which is a standard practice for a center forward.

Get the ball with your back while attacking.

But will he pass the football next, or force a turn and shoot?

Li Yuxin quickly gave the answer.

He twisted his upper body to the left, as if he was going to break through from this side. Just when the defensive player turned his attention, the outer instep of his right foot bounced the football to the other side!
The football was passed behind all the defenders!

And at this place, Bell slapped him, he swung his left foot and shot!
"Gareth—! Dangerous!"

Amidst the exclamation of the commentator, Bell twisted the football into an arc and went straight to the back of the goal!
Because the defensive attention of all the Manchester City players was attracted by Li Yuxin. They never expected that he would pass the football, and it was still passed to Bell...

So now facing Bell's shot, Manchester City's defense appears to be underprepared.

Although Joe Hart stretched out his arm to catch the ball, his movement was half a beat slow, he didn't even get into the air, he just swung his arm upwards...

He didn't touch football.

Of course, the football didn't go straight over the bar as some hoped...

The football went headlong into the goal!

The ball is in!
"This……"

The entire new Wembley Stadium suddenly fell silent. No one expected that Arsenal's first attack would score a goal in less than a minute after the start of the game!
Such a goal is really unexpected by many people...

Arsenal scored at the beginning of the game, and the goal was passed by Li Yuxin to Bell!

It was Li Yuxin who assisted Bell!
Arsenal's first goal of the new season, many people in the stands and in front of the TV stared dumbfounded at the stadium in front of them.

After scoring the goal, Bell ran to the corner flag area to celebrate the goal, and then he quickly went to his elder brother Li Yuxin who assisted him.

But Li Yuxin wanted to celebrate with Bell, so he turned and ran to the backcourt. Of course, he was hugged by excited Arsenal players in the middle...

Arsenal celebrated with such confidence. Victory may not require the eleven members of a team to be good friends, but they should know that they are teammates fighting side by side. They may not have a good relationship with each other, but they should help each other on the way to victory, because everyone is fighting for honor.

Benitez stood up from his seat after the glorious goal, and then applauded with others.

In fact, he was never worried about the issues that the media was worried about.

Not only him, but other Arsenal players have not worried.

Because after the team started tactical training, it was already confirmed that Li Yuxin will continue to be the core of the team's offense, and all offenses must revolve around him. Even the rising Bell is no exception. After all, Li Yuxin is one of the top centers in the world.
