Tottenham Hotspur beat Liverpool, the top rival of this season, in the Community Shield 0, which also made the British media feel both gratified and helpless.

The relief is because, in the past few seasons, Tottenham Hotspur has always been the benchmark for the Premier League. Tottenham Hotspur continued to perform at such a high level, which also means that they have great hope to continue to perform well in the Champions League this season and even continue to perform at the highest level in the Premier League.

The helpless thing is because the stronger Tottenham Hotspur is, the less suspense the Premier League championship will be.

Some people say that the Premier League has begun to enter the era of oligarchy. Tottenham Hotspur is the first oligarch to emerge because he has completed five consecutive Premier League championships in the past five seasons, and teams such as Liverpool, Manchester City may become the second and third oligarchs at any time.

But Wenger doesn't think so. Arsenal is ambitious in the new season, but it has entered August, claiming to have 70 million pounds in his hand, which has caused all Gunners fans to climax for a while, but found that the team's 70 million pounds were not spent at all.

Wenger watched the showdown at Wembley Stadium on the spot. In an interview with the media after the game, he pointed out that "Tottenham Hotspur's victory will cover up many problems, such as Pirlo's aging, and I believe no media will notice this after the game."

In fact, Wenger was right. After the game, almost all the media praised Tottenham Hotspur, and even Pirlo was mostly praised, but they ignored a very important point, that is, the state Pirlo showed has indeed declined a lot from the previous two seasons.

Of course, this can also be explained by the fact that I participated in the Federation Cup in the summer.

When Ye Qiu heard Wenger's remarks about Pirlo, he immediately refuted, "We should have more expectations and patience for him. There is no doubt that he is thirty-four years old, and we cannot ask him to run as unscrupulously as a young man, but I believe that he can do more things that young man cannot do, such as his passing."

Ye Qiu also revealed that after Tottenham Hotspur returned to the team since he returned to Pirlo, he has been adjusting his physical fitness to help him adjust his condition better. However, Ye Qiu once again emphasized that because the team will continue to fight on multiple lines, rotation of Pirlo and even the entire midfield is imperative.

This also reflects Ye Qiu's attitude towards the midfield updates. Pirlo, Matic and Strote are the inevitable result, but the process cannot be too fast or too hasty.

Many media also predicted the competition for the Premier League championship in the new season after this game, believing that Tottenham Hotspur is still a favorite to win the championship, but the advantage is no longer as great as the previous two seasons. However, considering that this will be Ye Qiu's last season, the possibility of winning the championship is still very high.

"In the past twenty years, talking about English football will definitely talk about the Red Devils and Manchester United, and when talking about Manchester United, we will inevitably talk about Ferguson. In the past twenty years, Ferguson seems to have become synonymous with English football."

"But Ferguson has retired, and the halo shrouded on Manchester United seems to be dim, but football has never lacked influence heroes and legends. So Ye Qiu and his Tottenham Hotspur emerged, setting a record five consecutive championships in the Premier League, successfully defending the Champions League twice in six years. This report card is enough to make Tottenham Hotspur synonymous with the new century Premier League."

"In the past few years, everyone has said that the Premier League has begun to enter the Tottenham Hotspur era, but we believe that Tottenham Hotspur needs to cross a threshold if it wants to do this, that is Ye Qiu."

"Everyone thinks that Mauro Tasotti will become Ye Qiu's natural successor. This culture from the boot room has achieved successful precedents in Liverpool, Ajax and other teams. And no one is more familiar with and understand Tottenham Hotspur than Mauro Tasotti. Ye Qiu has been consciously cultivating Mauro Tasotti to take over in the past few years."

"But we all know that Tottenham Hotspur's body and soul are left with a very deep mark of Ye Qiu."

"This is Ye Qiu's last season, but it is Mourinho's second season back to the Premier League, Pellegrini's first season in the Premier League, Moyes' first season in the giants..."

"Perhaps, after many years, looking back, we will find the legend of this season."

With overwhelming publicity from the media and the high expectations of countless fans around the world, the Premier League in the new season finally slowly kicked off. As the opening game, Liverpool defeated Stoke City at home with Sturridge's goal.

Benitez's team just suffered a defeat in the Community Shield Cup, so in this game, Fatty Bert is mainly stable. After all, the league starts without asking to get into the state too early, but seeking to enter the league steadily.

But it claims to be 70 million pounds, but later it increased to 80 million pounds. However, Arsenal, who has not spent a penny so far, suffered a great humiliation at the Emirates Stadium in the first round of the league, and lost three times to Aston Villa. Belgian center Benteke scored twice.

Belgium is indeed a bit weird. It is mixed between Germany and France. After crossing the English Channel, it faces Britain, and next to it is a Netherlands. Whether it is Germany, France, Britain or the Netherlands, they all have very obvious and clear national culture and characteristics.

But Belgium has always given people the feeling of making soy sauce, but the EU's headquarters is located in Belgium.

In fact, Belgium is a bit like a low-key prince in Europe. Their culture was once brilliant, but it was an explosion after a long period of precipitation and accumulation, and after the outbreak, it returned to silence again.

The same is true for Belgian football. They were once the European Red Devils, but in the past period of time, they have not been too impressive stars. However, the football in this country is as low-key and restrained as their culture. After decades of accumulation and precipitation, Belgian football began to explode.

Nowadays, there are many talented players in Belgium. Tottenham Hotspur team has two stars, Kompany and Hazad, and the youth team has three young players, Andreas, Pereira, Januzai and Yuri and Ladymans. In addition, Courtois who is on loan, Tottenham Hotspur has a large number of Belgian players.

This also has a certain relationship with Tottenham Hotspur paying attention to Belgium early on. Anderlecht is currently a partner of Tottenham Hotspur, and this team is plundering young geniuses in Belgium to provide a continuous supply of talents for the five major European leagues.

Like Lukaku, Bentek, Dembele, Witsel, Fellaini, Vermalen... The talent surge in Belgium will surely make the European Red Devil come back again, and there is even more hope than one game.

This time, the one who killed Arsenal was Belgian center Benteck

After the game, Wenger and Arsenal were in the positive attitude of poaching you, and I asked Aston Villa to buy, but Aston Villa clearly marked the price and didn't knock on the door if it wasn't 30 million pounds.

This scared Arsenal's hand that reached halfway and quickly retracted.

But no wonder Witsel transferred from Benfica to Zenit, with a transfer fee of 40 million euros, and he transferred from Portuguese Super League to Russia. As a player like Benteke, who has proved himself in the Premier League, the transfer fee is too low, which is indeed a bit unreasonable. Moreover, the center is only 22 years old.

When Arsenal was hesitating whether to deal with Benteke, Tottenham Hotspur's first round of the league was away to challenge Crystal Palace in South London. As a result, Tottenham Hotspur beat Crystal Palace away 0 away, laying an extremely solid foundation for the start of the new season.

This game happened at Selhurst Stadium, before the game, the media swore that veteran Pirlo, who was about to be thrown into the cold palace, and the team's new player Lewandowski became the absolute protagonists of the team.

Crystal Palace played at home. In the first half an hour, Crystal Palace used its tenacity and pressing and oppression to cause a lot of trouble for Tottenham Hotspur, but at the critical moment, Pirlo made a subtle pass. Lewandowski took the ball in the penalty area and turned around and shot, finishing it in one go, making Tottenham Hotspur’s first record.

Just two minutes later, Pirlo's pass was another diagonal pass. Ribery broke through from the left and passed the low pass behind the back point. Messi inserted and scored, 0

Afterwards, Crystal Palace adopted a dead-guard strategy and made two consecutive substitution adjustments during the break, all of which were mainly focused on strengthening the defense. However, Pirlo's long pass shortly after the start of the second half, Lewandowski's volley shot after rushing into the penalty area, which won another goal for Tottenham Hotspur.

As time goes by, Crystal Palace's physical fitness is getting worse and worse. In the last half hour, it was almost hit by Tottenham Hotspur. Ribery and Ramsey scored goals one after another, helping Tottenham Hotspur finally lock the score at 0.

The start of the league won Tottenham Hotspur's applause.

But at the same time, Manchester United beat Swansea 4l away, Manchester City beat Newcastle 40 at home, Chelsea beat Hul City 0 at home, West Ham United beat Cardiff 0 at home, and several strong teams in the Premier League played well in the first round of the league, only Arsenal lost at home.

After playing the first round of the league, Tottenham Hotspur had to participate in the European Super Cup, so the third round of the Premier League was adjusted to the mid-week. In the third round of the league, Tottenham Hotspur had to challenge Arsenal away.

Emirates Stadium, for the past few seasons, has been the boom of Tottenham Hotspur.

In this game of North London, strictly speaking, Arsenal can no longer be called North London, because Tottenham Hotspur has gone south to Stratford Stadium in the city center. To put it more seriously, this is a London derby.

Before this London derby, Arsenal announced that it would introduce German star Ozil from Real Madrid for more than 40 million pounds. This is also a major signing that Arsenal finally made after several smoke bombs this season.

Wenger also couldn't wait to arrange Ozil to start in this game, hoping to use German stars to attack Tottenham Hotspur's team, and defeat Tottenham Hotspur at his home court to win this London derby.

Ye Qiu made adjustments to this game. Tottenham Hotspur's goalkeeper and defense line did not change much. Ye Qiu replaced Kyle or Walker with Azpilicueta, but made adjustments in the midfield. Matic replaced Pirlo to start, Vidal became Matic's midfield partner, and in the front court, Hazard, Messi, Ribery, the forward was Lewandowski, and Tottenham Hotspur's 3l tactics changed the team.

All those who got the starting lineup were surprised by Tottenham's change of lineup before the game started, because after taking Pirlo, Ye Qiu not only did not arrange for Ramsey, a midfielder who was increasingly creative and passive, but instead took him down.

But many people were also surprised that Ye Qiu was not conservative because he won a midfielder and replaced him with a player like Hazard who has excellent wing assault ability. This sets a tone for this game, that is, offense.

At the beginning of the game, Tottenham Hotspur surprised many people who felt that they would lose their creativity because they found that Tottenham Hotspur was not conservative. On the contrary, they kept launching offensives, and the configuration of the double midfielder was very interesting.

Relatively speaking, Vidal is on the right, Matic is on the left, the former presses the front and the latter drags the back, and the coverage area of ​​both players is very wide, especially Vidal, who frequently presses to the front of the opponent's penalty area and meets Messi. Once the ball is lost, he immediately goes to counter-attack, making him look like a midfielder, but a frontcourt player.

Similarly, Tottenham Hotspur’s defense line is not actively pressing, but more often appears in the middle line.

Arsenal's midfielder arranged a four-midfield combination of Flamini, Willsheer, Rosici and Caszorla, but from the beginning, Tottenham Hotspur was pressed to his own half. In this area, Tottenham Hotspur does not compete for ball control and launches an attack once he grabs the ball. Although Arsenal has ball control, they find that the more ball control it is, the more dangerous it is.

Fast is everyone's first impression of this game.

Arsenal's goal is fast, and Tottenham's pressure and counterattack are also very fast, because they are playing in Arsenal's half.

Matic serves as the team's back-drag defender, and Marcelo and Azpilicueta on both sides pressed up, making it almost difficult for Arsenal's ball to be pushed into Tottenham's halftime, and more can only be done with long passes.

But Arsenal had no advantage in the first half of Tottenham.

In this case, Arsenal looked like he was being beaten up by Tottenham Hotspurs at his half-time.

In the 16th minute, Hazard faced Jenkinson, completed a breakthrough one-on-one and made a cross. Lewandowski headed the ball in front, Ribery volleyed from the back, and the ball entered the net.

After that, Arsenal quickly stabilized its position, but still couldn't find a way to break the Tottenham Hotspur cage. It was difficult for them to resist because the pressure on Tottenham Hotspur's frontcourt, especially Vidal's large-scale running robbery, and Matic's drag-back interception and blocking made it difficult for Arsenal's pass to penetrate into the front of Tottenham Hotspur's defense to create a threat.

In this case, Arsenal can only take a defensive position.

However, in the 30th minute, Matic cut off the ball from Willsheer's foot and passed it straight to Messi. The Argentine took the ball with her back and turned around to break through, and passed it straight to the right side of the penalty area. Ribery inserted it again. After getting rid of Gibbs, he shot directly in the right corner of the penalty area forty-five degrees, and pierced through Arsenal's goal again.

But in less than five minutes, Vidal returned to defend and intercepted the ball, Thiago Silva made a long diagonal pass, Hazard broke through on the left and passed the penalty area with a low pass, Lewandowski scored in front of the goal, 0

Tottenham Hotspur easily scored three goals in the entire first half, and Arsenal had almost no ability to resist in front of Tottenham Hotspur.

Those who were suspicious and worried about Tottenham Hotspur’s change before the game were now surprised to find that Tottenham Hotspur once again showed a completely different style from before, they were faster, sharper, and more deadly.

At first glance, they seem to be a little passive. For example, they do not have too much control of the ball, and once they intercept the ball, they start looking for opportunities to score, which makes the game very fast, but the problem is that they seem to have no control of the ball, but they are firmly controlling the situation.

Arsenal's possession rate in the first half was 49. It seemed to be evenly divided, but in the first half, Arsenal did not even have a chance to shoot one shot at the goal, only two shots. On the contrary, Tottenham Hotspur scored eighteen shots in the first half, and such a shooting efficiency was amazing.

Matic is not Pirlo, he is faster and simpler. The ball almost stops at his feet. He turns out as soon as he gets the ball. He is more like a perpetual motion machine, running and moving constantly. The distance of the whole game is as high as thirteen kilometers. The ball is immediately passed by him. He maintains a very calm and rational mental state all the time.

"He completely dominated the entire Tottenham Hotspur midfielder. No matter who it is, as long as he enters this area, Matic will make him breathless. He is a terrible calm player."

Richard Keith, who was in charge of the commentary, said with emotion, "As early as Southampton, we clearly realized that Matic has the potential to become a top midfielder, but when we came to Tottenham Hotspur, we found that what he showed was already the level of a top midfielder, because under the strong tactical system and the clouds of star teammates around us, the strength Matic burst out is indeed amazing."

After saying that, Richard Kees laughed jokingly, "I don't know what will happen to Mourinho, who was sitting in the stands in this game, sees Matic's performance in the first half at this moment?"

The live TV camera really gave Mourinho a close-up, but the Portuguese face was calm.
Chapter completed!
