Chapter 24 Tottenham in the New Season
The English Community Shield is not very important, but because the two sides of the game are rivals in North London, it has attracted the attention of a lot of media.
"Welcome everyone to Wembley Stadium. The upcoming match is the Community Shield, where Arsenal will face Tottenham!"
"The starting lineups of both sides have appeared on the big screen."

On-site commentator Soles said: "Xhaka has just joined Arsenal, and the professor gave him enough trust to start in the Community Shield game, but this game is not easy for Xhaka. He has to face The most terrifying midfield combination in England."
Another commentator, Moyes, said: "Yes, Xhaka's task is very heavy. He needs to withstand the pressure from Yiyi. This is not an easy task for the midfielder of every Premier League team. As it turned out, last season no team got a kick out of midfield."
"Xhaka is a lagging organization and connects the core. He did a good job in Borussia Mönchengladbach. I hope he can adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League."
…
In the Arsenal half, Xhaka took a deep breath. This is his first show, and he needs to show his worth.
A pair of brown eyes in the deep sockets looked at the black-haired young man opposite, Zhaka felt a little nervous.
Although Yi Le looks very young, but as the so-called name of a person, the shadow of a tree, Yi Le almost beat all the Premier League midfielders last season. This terrifying dominance made Xhaka feel great pressure.
He understands that if he wants to win this game, he must compete for rhythm points in the midfield.
The professor spent 25 million pounds to promote the transfer, just to let him compete with the Chinese.
While waiting for the kick-off, Xhaka patted his cheek to cheer himself up.
At this time, Cazorla came over and said: "Don't be nervous, don't put too much pressure on yourself, don't deliberately go head-to-head with that Chinese, choose to back down appropriately, believe me, this is not ashamed!"
Zhaka froze for a moment, then said seriously: "I will kick him."
Are you underestimating yourself?
Cazorla shook his head with a chuckle, and left without saying anything.
Easy to blow up?
This is simply a fantasy. If it couldn't be done last season, it will be even worse this season. You must know that there is a patron saint standing beside Yi Le.
…
Tottenham half-time, Kanter approached Yi Le and said: "Yi, just like in training, I will defend the defense and you will attack."
Yi Le nodded and said, "No problem."
Kanter stretched out his fist, and Yi Le also stretched out his fist, and the two fists touched lightly.
At the same time, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.
Arsenal took the lead.
Sanchez passed the ball to Volkert, and Volkert made a direct pass back, and the two rushed towards Tottenham half-court.
Tottenham's strikers, Higuain, Torres, and Sun Xingmin also swarmed up, and they actively pressed in the frontcourt.
This is the way Tottenham have always played, fierce and messy.
The pace of football in the Premier League is very fast, with a lot of movement and intense physical confrontation.
As soon as Xhaka got the ball, Sun Xingmin and Torres rushed over like tigers.
This made Xhaka secretly think badly, and quickly turned around to pass back.
The ball was played to centre-back Koscielny, who lured Torres forward and passed the ball in the direction of full-back Bellerin.
Bellerin has the ball and he immediately passes it to Volkert for a breakthrough.
Walcott took the ball with his back, and just when he was about to stop the ball, he was suddenly hit by someone, and then a black thigh stretched out, hooking the football away in front of his eyes.
"Kanter!! Kanter who can't get past him, he played his role, and his steal success rate is too high." The commentator Solace said in surprise: "Kanter protects the ball, he is waiting for Yi to come and catch the ball, Kante passed the ball to Yi and the Tottenham attack was coming."
When the football passed to Yi Le's feet, huge cheers erupted at the scene.
Tottenham fans cheered, as long as the football comes to Yi Le's feet, it means that Tottenham's fierce offensive wave is about to start.
And Arsenal's defense is also shrinking rapidly, they know how big a threat this Chinese is.
Yi Le held the ball, and he looked up to observe the positions of the Arsenal players. The entire defense line was huddled near the penalty area, and there was no posture of fighting forward at all.
This is a bloody lesson, the threat of this Chinese is too great.
Yi Le is also used to this kind of situation. He didn't rush to take the ball, he took two steps forward, and at the same time signaled Sun Xingmin and Higuain to retreat a little bit.
When Sun Xingmin ran to the right side of the middle circle, Yi Le passed the football.
Sun Xingmin tried it out and found no chance, so he passed it back to Yi Le again.
Yi Le received the ball, he made a transfer, Higuain held the ball, and he also made a symbolic test, but Arsenal's defense line did not have the posture to press forward at all.
In desperation, Higuain sent back.
Yi Le held the ball again, and this time Yi Le made a pass back, and he began to be patient and reversed.
The ball was passed at the feet of Yile Kante-Eric Dier and Sanchez pressed up the pitch, but it didn't work out well.
Xhaka looked at the leisurely Tottenham players and felt a little anxious. He is the core of the playmaker and he needs the ball.
So, he made a decision.
Press forward.
Xhaka took a few steps forward, glanced at the space behind him, and thought to himself: It should be fine, right?
Suddenly, he felt a chill.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Higuain and Sun Xingmin, the two Tottenham wings, started quickly and went straight to the bottom line.
Xhaka turned his head abruptly. He looked towards the middle circle, and saw that Yi Le had already bent his bow and set his arrows, and went straight to the neutral position with a precise long pass.
Ruined!
Xhaka felt cold, and he wanted to turn around and chase, but his legs couldn't keep up with the speed of football passing.
He could only watch helplessly as the football was sent to neutral by Yi Le, Sun Xingmin unloaded the ball easily, headed for the bottom line, and then made a pass.
Higuain and Torres competed for the top in the penalty area. Torres was the first to get stuck. He rose into the air and stretched his body extremely. I saw his waist and abdomen exerted strength, and a head hammer hit the ball, and the football was pushed into the goal. .
"GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL !!!"
"Goal!! Goal! Just 10 minutes into the game, Tottenham scored a goal. This goal is so pleasing to the eye. This is Tottenham's offense, clean and concise but so deadly!"
"Xhaka just pushed forward a little bit, and was caught by Yi in such a small gap. He did not hesitate to find Sun with a precise long pass. Torres scored the goal from Sun's cross!"
"Perfect cooperation! Perfect team! They have become stronger this season!"
Both commentators stood up and shouted, and they praised the goal.
"Tottenham is still as strong as ever. This is Tottenham's super midfielder. Don't give him any chance, because even if it is a small chance, Yi will expand it and turn it into a goal!"
"Oh, Yi's state is still hot this season."
The Tottenham fans at the scene also stood up and cheered suddenly, and there was a tsunami-like shout from the entire stadium.
The white waves in the stands were churning, but the opposite Arsenal stand was dead silent.
The Arsenal fans looked at the field in disappointment. Their eyes looked at the smiling young man in the middle circle, and their hearts felt bitter.
Who can restrain him? God, please send an angel to restrain this Chinese!
