"Thierry Henry! Beautiful! Arsenal's leading striker sent the ball into the goal with a volley! Oh my God! Arsenal's counterattack was like a hurricane! From the moment Lauren shoveled the ball to destroy Hesselink's chance to shoot, Ashley Cole, Vieira, Qin Xiong, and Ljungberg almost didn't see anyone dribble the ball to attack. From the backfield to the front field, Arsenal used accurate ground passes to attack the front field. Qin Xiong, the smart China player, combined with Ljungberg's cross pass and his own lateral movement to confuse the experienced veteran Cocu. Smart, too smart! Cocu thought that Qin Xiong's first pass wouldn't break through him, but he was wrong! He was very wrong! Qin Xiong was waiting for him to let down his guard, and then used a beautiful ball to break through his defense. At the moment when he stepped into the penalty area, we thought that Qin Xiong would make a long shot. PSV Eindhoven's defenders panicked and tried to block him. They obviously underestimated Qin Xiong's skill. The more crucial the moment, the calmer Qin Xiong is! Qin Xiong left a deep impression on us in last season's Champions League. He stopped suddenly in the middle of the encirclement and used his left foot to pass over the top. Pay attention, Qin Xiong used his left foot. He showed the characteristics of balance between his two feet. Henry didn't let Qin Xiong's efforts down. As a striker, he used an explosive volley to blast the ball into the goal! Arsenal leads PSV Eindhoven 2: 0! "
The 30,000 Arsenal fans in Highbury stood up and applauded. Another beautiful goal!
Hiddink wiped his face and sighed that his luck was not good. If Hesselink could finish the shot, the score might be 1: 1, and not 0: 2.
Wenger breathed a sigh of relief. He was a little nervous just now, but before his nervousness disappeared, he was immediately surprised. The situation on the field changed too quickly, and the ups and downs were a little exciting!
After the goal, Henry roared in place, then turned around and waved to Qin Xiong, shouting, "Come here, come here, come here!"
When Qin Xiong ran in front of Henry, Henry turned around and put his arm around Qin Xiong's shoulder. Qin Xiong also naturally put his arm around Henry's shoulder from behind. Henry began to speed up, and Qin Xiong certainly kept up with his pace.
The two men laughed heartily as they looked at each other, enjoying the goal and the applause from the fans.
The two of them had their arms around each other's shoulders as they chased after the wind and sprinted along the side of the field, causing a spectacular wave of people to form on the Highbury viewing platform!
Wenger had a smile on his face when he saw this scene. He kept applauding, and when he walked back to the technical area, he muttered excitedly, "That's it! That's it! That's it! "
He needed Qin Xiong to have a more obvious acceleration effect in the front field, and he needed him to have a more obvious team chemistry effect than Bergkamp!
Qin Xiong actively integrated into Arsenal's tactical system. It could not be said that he was like a fish in water here, but he had shown enough convincing strength and form, as well as team chemistry.
Wenger had high expectations for Qin Xiong. He was thinking about how to further stimulate Qin Xiong's talent and potential in offense!
He could be even better!
He could contribute more to Arsenal!
He could make a new leap in his personal career!
PSV Eindhoven was two goals behind, and they were no longer able to compete with Arsenal.
After all, it was an away game, and they had just returned from the national team less than a week ago. Not only PSV Eindhoven, but also Arsenal's side began to wind down and no longer attacked unscrupulously.
With two goals in hand, victory was in their grasp.
Qin Xiong began to withdraw and control the field with his teammates in the midfield.
This was probably the most important change for Arsenal in the new season.
In fact, all the Premier League teams, including the powerhouse teams, and even Arsenal were no exception.
They had almost no concept of control of the situation!
This was related to the style of play in England and the requirements of the English fans for the team.
But in the European arena, especially the Champions League, the Italian teams were experts at control. The La Liga teams were also good at control. The Premier League teams often suffered losses and performed poorly. It had a lot to do with the lack of concept and ability to control. They appeared emotional. If they played well, they would destroy everything. If they did not play well and could not control, the opponent would seize the opportunity.
Wenger was so eager to get Qin Xiong because of this!
When Qin Xiong showed enough and outstanding control ability in the Champions League, it was exactly what Arsenal did not have!
Perhaps Qin Xiong alone would not be able to give Arsenal the ability to control the field in a situation where they had the advantage overnight. But when he started to do it, and when he took the lead in doing it as the core of the midfield organization, he would convey the concept to his teammates and grow and improve through the training again and again.
Wenger firmly believed that Arsenal would be stronger in the future!
Stronger on the basis of an undefeated league title!
The game came to an end amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the Arsenal fans.
PSV Eindhoven lost to Highbury 0: 2.
After the game, Wenger highlighted Qin Xiong and Henry's performance on the field. Henry scored twice and Qin Xiong created two goals. Although Henry won the MVP of the game in the end, Qin Xiong tied with Henry for the highest rating after the game.
Qin Xiong did not accept an interview and went back to the locker room to recover from the fatigue after the game.
Some of his teammates said that they wanted to go to a nightclub. It was Ashley Cole's suggestion. The game was played at night and most of them could not sleep at home now. But Qin Xiong still refused. He knew how difficult his first season in the Premier League would be. He insisted on playing in multiple competitions throughout the season. Without the fatigue recovery and physical consumption buffer during the winter break, he was prepared to sacrifice his entertainment time to recharge.
Even if he was still in a state of excitement, he tried his best to calm down when he returned home.
For example, he listened to music and watched some movies with a more mundane plot.
The next day, Fleet Street released the Champions League game review. The Daily Mail directly headlined: Arsenal's new Bergkamp! No worries for the next ten years!
"The Chinese player Qin Xiong, who came from Ajax to Highbury with the glory of the treble, did not make the fans wait for long. Although it may be a very embarrassing record to leave the field with an injury five seconds after the start of the EFL Cup, Qin Xiong showed all the excellent characteristics that made Arsenal choose him in the away game with a score of 5: 0 and in the home game with a score of 2: 0 against Everton, Qin Xiong showed all the excellent characteristics that made Arsenal choose him! His ability to organize made Arsenal's attacks smoother. He chose the right time to break through. Although there were not many times, his efficiency was obvious. Most importantly, Highbury's King Henry was the core of Arsenal's offense. All of Arsenal's attacks naturally revolved around Henry. Qin Xiong proved the efficiency of his cooperation with Henry in the two games. The frenzy of attacks they demonstrated made the opponents tremble in fear! Even if Hiddink set up an iron bucket formation, he could not stop Qin Xiong and Henry! Manchester United should regret it and Chelsea should be helpless. They both had the opportunity to sign Qin Xiong, but Ferguson stubbornly spent a sky-high price to buy Rooney and reorganized the 4-4-2 with two strikers. Chelsea's manager, Mourinho, claimed that they did not need Qin Xiong. They had Lampard. But can you appreciate the beautiful attacking scenes at Highbury at Stamford Bridge? "
.....
When Fleet Street began to praise Qin Xiong, Qin Xiong ignored any comments from the outside world. It could be said that he had never cared much about the voices of the media. Perhaps he had a tendency to be autistic since he was young. He always put himself in the center.
He did not need other people's affirmation to motivate him.
He knew what he wanted, and to get it, he had to put in the effort!
He felt that he was in great shape recently!
Learning how to play in the Premier League and changing some of his old habits could not be considered completely new, but it filled his heart with fighting spirit!
He could not wait to continue playing. Perhaps it was related to the month-long break. He was full of energy and had nowhere to vent it!
Compared to his high spirits, Arsenal's teammates were a little tired!
They had just returned from the national team in early September. They were in an away game in the Premier League and played a key battle in the Champions League within four days.
Not to mention that Silva, who had crossed half the world to go back and forth between South America and Europe, was a little dizzy. It was also not easy for Toure to go back and forth to Africa. There was also Henry and Vieira, who were the main force of the national team. They needed some time to recover.
Arsenal had just finished playing the Champions League in the middle of the week and had to face the challenge of Bolton Wanderers at home on the weekend. If there was no influence from the FIFA matches, the intensity of three games in eight days would have passed. But with the FIFA national team games exhausting the players, Wenger decided to be cautious and decided to carry out a big rotation.
The opportunity that Arsenal's other young players, who were also full of ambition, had finally arrived!
