"Hello, viewers and fans! This is BBC Sports, and I am the Mark Lawrenson you are familiar with!" BBC Sports broadcast the game live, and also had a very good commentary team.
"Hello BBC Sports viewers, I am the Eddie Gray you are familiar with!" Eddie Gray also introduced himself. Then he continued: "Today we are not the only ones explaining for you. Today we have a beautiful commentator Bian Yuqing Xiao. Welcome!"
Yes, Bian Yuqing is also sitting in the commentary box today to explain this game.
"Hello, spectators and fans. I am Bian Yuqing. I am very happy to be here to watch the game with you!" Bian Yuqing was very calm.
This is not the first time for Bian Yuqing to commentate on such a game. She is now a newcomer promoted by the BBC and has received a lot of resources. She has commented on many, many games like this.
"What we bring to you today is a match in the tenth round of the 2009-2010 Premier League season. The two sides are the home team Leeds United and the visiting team Arsenal!" Mark Lawrenson said.
"This game is a game that everyone is paying close attention to. Although Leeds United is currently ranked in the middle, there is still a certain distance from the top four. But Mr. Zhong Cheng's sudden return has improved Leeds United's strength. They are in very good shape now!" Bian Yuqing said.
"Yes, Leeds United are in good form now. But today their opponent Arsenal is in very hot form. Arsenal is now in second place in the Premier League, and is only one point away from Manchester United at the top of the league. It’s divided, Arsenal is not easy to deal with!” Mark Lawrenson said.
"That's why this game has attracted so much attention. Arsenal does have more supporters, but at this time I still support Leeds United. Our Leeds United team is not weak at all. We defeated Arsenal The Nassau team should still be able to do it!" Eddie Gray said.
"Oh! Is Eddie really so optimistic about Leeds United?" Mark Lawrenson said immediately.
Eddie Gray immediately said: "Of course, I am very, very optimistic about Leeds United. Although Arsenal is in very good shape now, it is still a little worse than Leeds United!"
Mark Lawrenson immediately said: "Haha, Eddie, don't be too confident. I think Arsenal is stronger. The winner of this game must be Arsenal!"
Bian Yuqing chuckled and said: "The game hasn't started yet, but the two teachers next to me are about to start fighting now, which shows how intense this game is. Okay, two teachers, you can use your magical powers now. , the players on both sides are ready to play, the game is about to start!"
Mark Lawrenson and Eddie Gray both immediately calmed down. Mark Lawrenson immediately said: "Okay, now the players from both sides have come out of the player tunnel, this game is really about to start!"
"Now we use this time period to introduce to you the starting lineups of the two teams today. First, let us explain to you the starting lineup of the visiting team Arsenal!" Eddie Gray said immediately.
"Yes!" Bian Yuqing said.
Today’s visiting team Arsenal’s starting lineup is as follows:
Away team: Arsenal, head coach: Arsene Wenger, formation: 4-4-2
Goalkeeper: Almunia
Back four [from left to right]: Clichy, Vermaelen, Djourou and Eboue
Midfield four [from left to right]: Samir Nasri, Cesc Fabregas, Abou Diaby and Theo Walcott
Double forward: Robin van Persie and Nicolas Bendtner
This is Arsenal's starting list today. This starting list is not their absolute main list, but it is not far off.
At the center back position, the young Djurou appeared in the starting lineup today. He replaced the injured Arsenal's main center back. To be honest, Djuru is very tall, but his speed is not particularly slow. Among the tall central defenders, he is faster, and he can also replace the full-back.
But this guy is always a bit inferior as a central defender, his defensive ability is not very outstanding, and he often makes some inexplicable mistakes. But Arsene Wenger is very optimistic about him. Arsene Wenger is trying his best to cultivate Djuru. He has been giving Djuru opportunities in the past few seasons, but Djuru's performance has always disappointed Arsene Wenger.
This time, he hopes that Zhu Lu can mature as soon as possible, like those young people from the opposite team Leeds United. He played the absolute main force in Leeds United at a very young age and had a very amazing performance.
It's time for Zhu Lu to mature.
In the midfield, this is Arsenal's main lineup this season, but Alexander Song is sitting on the bench today.
Abu Diaby's performance is still very good, and he is gradually gaining a firm foothold. Arsene Wenger had to say with emotion, Zhong Cheng is indeed very good at cultivating young people, very awesome.
Arsenal brought Vermaelen, Abou Diaby, Alexander Song and Nicolas Bendtner from Leeds United. These people are all very powerful and have now withstood Arsenal's pressure. Half of the sky!
No wonder Arsene Wenger has been trying to poach Leeds United recently. It turns out that she has tasted the benefits!
Arsenal's striker is also their main combination this season. Van Persie and Nicolas Bendtner partner up. One is high and the other is fast. They are in perfect harmony. Nicolas Bendtner made a seamless transition, replacing Adebayor who left for Manchester City.
To be honest, Nicholas Bendtner's performance seems to be much better than Adebayor's.
At least that's what Arsenal fans think now!
"A lot, this is today's starting list for Arsenal. Now let's accept the starting list for today's home team Leeds United!" Mark Lawrenson said immediately.
Today’s starting lineup for Leeds United is as follows:
Home team: Leeds United, head coach: Zhong Cheng, formation: 4-2-3-1
Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng
Back four [from left to right]: Patrick Evra, Kompany, David Luiz and Kyle Walker
Double defensive midfielder: Stephen Mbia and Sami Khedira
Midfield three [from left to right]: Marco Reus, Mesut Ozil and Cristiano Ronaldo
Single striker: Ruud van Nistelrooy
Yes, that's Leeds United's starting lineup today. Obviously, this is not the main lineup of Leeds United, but there have been some changes.
For example, in the full-back position, Leeds United's full-back Lichtsteiner had a cold today and was not suitable for the game. Therefore, Lichtsteiner sat directly in the stands to watch this game today.
Lichtsteiner was replaced by Kyle Walker who remembered that. Although Kyle Walker is young, he is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers and has a lot of experience. He may not be able to do it in this game. Become Leeds United's shortcoming.
Today, Leeds United's two central defenders Kompany and David Luiz have just returned from injury. No one expected Zhong Cheng to be so bold and start the two at the same time. Isn't he afraid that Arsenal will target Kompany and David Luiz?
The defensive midfielder position is the main lineup and has not changed.
On the forward line, Gareth Bale sat on the bench today, Eden Hazard also sat on the bench, and Marco Reus started, which many people did not expect. . I wonder what Zhong Cheng is thinking?
After all, Gareth Bale is not injured and is sitting on the sidelines.
However, this madman Loya must have a conspiracy, otherwise he would not have come up with such a starting list.
Starting today on the forward line is Leeds United veteran Van Nistelrooy. Because Leeds United's main forward Lewandowski this season is still recovering from injury, Van Nistelrooy starts. Sitting on the bench waiting for an opportunity is Diego Costa.
This is the starting lineup for Leeds United today.
It can be seen that Leeds United's lineup is a incomplete lineup!
Therefore, now everyone is more optimistic about Arsenal. Arsenal's lineup can be said to have all the main players starting, with only a few changes in individual positions.
Arsenal's current form is already good, and they still have all the main players. How can Leeds United's half-main lineup compete with Arsenal?
Therefore, at this time, Arsenal fans are very excited and excited. Arsenal must win this game!
At this moment, the referee of this game, Howard Webb, blew the whistle to start the game.
The visiting team Arsenal kicked off first. Nicolas Bendtner in the center circle pointed the football, and then he rushed into the Leeds United half.
Van Persie passed the ball back and sent the football to the feet of midfielder Cesc Fabregas.
The game really started, and the fans on both sides were very excited. They howled, clapped and sang excitedly. Fans from both sides were jumping up and down, as if it was a festival, and as if they had won the game. It was really crazy.
In the midfield, Fabregas quickly passed the ball to the wing after taking the ball. Arsenal made several consecutive turnovers in the midfield and backcourt, and the football returned to Cesc Fabregas' feet again.
It seems that Arsenal did not want to attack Leeds United right away. They wanted to test it out first, stabilize the rhythm, and then prepare to give Leeds United a fatal blow.
However, at this moment, Fabregas suddenly sent a long pass.
Yes, Fabregas saw that Nicholas Bendtner was in a good position, so he directly made a long pass, and the football flew quickly towards the Leeds United half.
Nicolas Bendtner in the frontcourt jumped up high and kept pace with Kompany.
However, Nicolas Bendtner, who was in a better position, hit the football, and the football flew to the side of Van Persie. When Van Persie saw the football flying over, he didn't think much about it. He just swung his leg and fired with a bang. , the football flew out quickly.
The Leeds United fans at the scene were all stunned. Is this the first shot?
In front of the goal, Zhong Zheng stood ready, his eyes fixed on the flying football, and his feet moved quickly to the right side of the goal. The ball was flying to the right.
With a bang, the football hit David Luiz who was intercepting sideways, and his direction immediately changed. The football was refracted towards the lower left corner of the goal.
At this time, Zhong Zheng had no time to change direction. He could only turn his head and stare closely at the football that was reflected in the opposite direction to him.
The football flew quickly against the far post and into the Leeds United goal.
