(one more)
With Chelsea's thrilling 15:2 victory over Hull City in the opening game on the 1th, the entire British Isles has become a world of football. The streets, TVs and newspapers are full of news about football.

Arsenal's match was held at 16:05 on the evening of the 30th. After the simple training in the morning, Wenger led his disciples on the team bus and rushed to Liverpool to participate in the first round of the Premier League against Everton. Contest.

For Arsenal, who have just made the largest transfer investment in history, this is the touchstone to test them. At the same time, this strong dialogue is also the focus of the first round of the Premier League. Another stress for them.

It takes more than two hours from London to Liverpool. Some players doze off in the bus, some play mobile games, and some get together to play poker. Li Huan and his teammates are not very familiar yet, and he is not a person who likes to join in the fun The players sat alone in the back of the bus to enjoy the scenery on the outskirts of North London.

"Why don't you take a break? Eat an apple, it will make you feel better."

Assistant coach Paul sat next to Li Huan and handed Li Huan an apple.Because some friends are coaching in China, and Paul has had some contacts with Chinese coaches, the relationship between him and Li Huan is relatively close.

"Thank you." Li Huan took it. Although he didn't like to eat fruit before the game, he still didn't want to take Paul's kindness.

"The first game has always been difficult to play. Although we have an advantage over Everton in history, they have been in a good state in the past two seasons. We can't be careless." Paul's topic is naturally inseparable from the afternoon game.

Li Huan recently watched a lot of Everton game videos in his spare time. Facing Paul, he expressed his opinion directly: "Saha and Fellaini are the most threatening."

Paul said: "Moyes has worked hard at Everton for many years. Their overall performance is very good, but the players' personal abilities are limited. What we are most afraid of is that they will defend intensively and then use simple and rough counterattacks to deal with us. So we do our best Break through the door first."

Li Huan looked at Wenger with his eyes closed, smiled and said, "Everton is not necessarily harder to play than Valencia and Rangers. In the words of the professor, if we play our own football, we will naturally have good results. "

Paul smiled and said, "The point is, they won't let us play our own football."

Li Huan said confidently: "This is restraint and anti-restraint. Don't worry, we will not lose to them."

Paul looked at the players who were playing cards and said, "You played on the right today, how is your cooperation with Nasri?"

Li Huan shrugged slightly, and said: "It's okay, it's only been a dozen days, so it's hard to say there is any tacit understanding."

Paul said: "Nasri's speed is slower, he can't keep up with your rhythm, and he can't return to defense, but he can support you inside and make the ball." Paul lowered his voice again and said: "It's good that Arshavin is here, your cooperation will be more proficient."

Li Huan said relaxedly: "Whether he comes or not, I will help the team in my own way."

There was an imperceptible smile in Paul's eyes, and he said: "You are another power system for Arsenal, and Everton will feel very uncomfortable."

The two chatted in the back of the car for a while, and Paul went back to the front to discuss the tactical arrangements for the afternoon with Wenger and another assistant coach, Rice.And Li Huan also rested on the back of the car seat with his eyes closed.

Just after Li Huan took a nap, Liverpool arrived. Although the game will not be played until the afternoon, Everton fans wearing blue jerseys can be seen everywhere on the street. London challenged Tottenham, and most of the red clothes on the street were Arsenal fans who came in advance.

After lunch in the hotel, head coach Wenger went to Goodison Park to attend the pre-match press conference. In the press conference, Wenger tried his best to play down the focus of Li Huan, and put more topics on the team On the whole, Wenger first expressed his condolences to the legendary coach Robson who had just passed away, "Coach Robson's death is a great loss for the British and even the world football. He is a legendary figure. I think he is more than Sir Alex Ferguson was greater."

Then he said: "After training during the holidays, the team has become more mature than before, and many players have recovered from injuries and are able to participate in the competition. Now we are stronger than last season.

I know that many people are focusing on Li Huan. His net worth is the key to attracting reporters. He also proves how ridiculous those who think I can't spend money are ridiculous.But I hope you can understand that Li Huan has just joined Arsenal for two weeks and two days, and only played 10 minutes. I think that instead of paying attention to him, it is better to pay attention to Will Mullen. I think he can also play against Arsenal. Inclusion helps a lot. "

Moyes was relatively low-key in the press conference, "It is always difficult for us to achieve a good record in the game against Arsenal. Whether it is home or away, Arsenal play us very vigorously. This is what we have to overcome now. The problem.

Arsenal's youth army is one year older than last season. They have been performing very steadily. Even in the worst times, they can appear in the Champions League. Mr. Football, this is a very dangerous guy, we must be careful with him.

I am also stronger than last season. The players are more familiar with each other. In some positions, we have also added some important players, which has helped us a lot.Today's game will be very difficult, but we will work hard to pursue victory and start a good start for the new season. "

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the stadium at Goodison Park was full. Fans of the home and away teams arrived at the stadium early, holding team flags, scarves, banners, and paint on their faces. They kept chanting the team's name, the stadium It looked very lively.

In the VIP box of the stadium, the home team chairman Bill.Kennett enthusiastically led Arsenal Chairman Hill Wood in. Of course, the topic in their mouths would be business, but football. However, they did not talk about the current game, but they were talking about Chelsea and Hull City yesterday. the match of.

On the court, the substitute players of the two teams are warming up. Players like Saha, Gosling, and Rodwell are all favorite players of Everton fans. Calling names.

Fifteen minutes later, the main players of the two teams also came out of the locker room to warm up. When the Everton players came out, more than 15 fans of the home team shouted together, and the momentum was quite spectacular.When the Arsenal players came out, they were booed, but the boos were mixed with the noise when they saw Li Huan, "Look! That's Li Huan!" "World Footballer!" "Xiao Li Fei Knife!" It seems that Li Huan still has a lot of influence among Everton fans.

Arsenal's warm-up is also mainly based on short passes. Players run and pass short passes continuously on the pitch, which is dazzlingly fast, while Everton's players are playing catching monkeys. Go into the circle and be sneaked by monkeys.

The two teams warmed up for about 10 minutes, and did not return to the locker room to change their clothes until their bodies started to heat up, preparing for the official game.During this period, the fans also made physical and physical preparations for 45 minutes. No one wants to be anxious during the game, or to buy drinks and delay watching the goal.

After 5 minutes, the two teams came out of the locker room, and each of them held a little caddy in their hands. The little caddy had the opportunity to personally contact the big stars seen on TV. flushed.

At this time, the on-site commentator began to introduce the rosters of both sides. He would pause before he read a name, giving the fans time to cheer, and of course it might be time to boo.

埃弗顿的首发阵容是4-4-2：守门员24-霍华德/，四个后卫2-希伯特、5-莱斯科特、4-雅博、3-巴恩斯，四个中场，21-奥斯曼、18-菲尔-内维尔、17-卡希尔、20-皮纳尔，两个前锋25-费莱尼、11-若

The commentator was a little strange about Everton's lineup today, saying: "Judging from the formation of Moyes last season and this summer's warm-up match, he is used to the traditional style of playing with a single striker and five midfielders, but today he But a 442 formation was formed. Does he want to play against Arsenal?

Since the main central defender Lescott is favored by Manchester City, it is still unknown whether he will transfer or not. Now it seems that Moyes' formation has not been affected, and he still appears in the starting position. "

阿森纳出场阵容是4-3-2-1：守门员1-阿穆尼亚，四个后卫13李欢、10-加拉、5-维尔马伦、22-克利希，5个中场分别是：15-德尼尔森、17-亚历山大-宋、4-法布雷加斯、/8号纳斯里、52-本特纳，单前锋是11-范佩西。

Arsenal's starting lineup today did not exceed the expectations of reporters and fans. The only thing that surprised people was that Bendtner replaced Walcott in the starting lineup, and he played as a second striker, closer to the midfield.

The commentator also specifically mentioned Li Huan's position, "The biggest signing in the Premier League, Li, is still playing as his right back today. Coach Wenger has no intention of changing the position of the World Player of the Year. Today Li is playing against England international Barnes. The key to Everton's success today is that Barnes can block the impact of the European magic wing."
