Chapter 1499 The Battle of the Temple Cup

This is not the first time Liu Feng has seen the Bird's Nest Stadium. Whether he watched the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in distant Italy or came to BJ last season to visit, he has a deep memory of this national stadium.

However, it was the first time he was able to play football here. When he led the players into the Bird's Nest Stadium as the captain, all the familiar Chinese factors made his heart quite agitated.

"CCTV, CCTV, hello viewers and friends, welcome to the 2012 Summer Temple Cup match between Gunners Arsenal and Blue Moon Manchester City. This is the Bird's Nest Stadium."

There was no noisy English broadcast, and even the on-site field control was narrated in Chinese. Liu Feng took a deep breath and listened to the shouts of fans from all directions.

"Liu Feng! Liu Feng! Liu Feng!"

Listening to his full name constantly fluctuating on the court, and tens of thousands of people shouting his name in their mother tongue together still made Liu Feng's heart beat faster.

This is the stimulation of national identity and patriotism, and it is also an important reason why so many players feel honored to finally represent the national team.

Regardless of the various circumstances or darkness, when you know that the hearts of countless people in the motherland are on you, cheering for your goals and worrying about your injuries, this kind of spiritual strength is extremely powerful.

"It can be seen that the Chinese player Liu Feng took the lead as the captain of the team and stepped into the field first. On their right is the Blue Moon Manchester City team led by captain Kompany."

Taking a group photo in front of the camera, the two teams exchanged souvenirs intimately.

Compared with the life-and-death confrontation in the Premier League, everyone knows exactly what kind of game such a so-called cup game held in distant China is.

Although it has the domineering name of the Temple Cup, it is actually an exhibition match. How to satisfy the fans and pay for it is the most important thing.

Therefore, these players on both sides put friendship first and competition second on their faces.

Of course, this by no means means that this game has become a game for two teams to deal with the fans who poured in from all directions and directly packed the Bird's Nest Stadium to a full house.

When the game started, the wonderful play styles of both sides were fully displayed under the intentional laissez-faire of the opponents. This kind of game created by gorgeous offense is obviously very popular with the fans.

"Blue Moon! Blue Moon! We are the immortal Blue Moon!!!"

"Roar! Arsenal! Arsenal! We are the invincible Arsenal!"

In the stands, slogans about the two teams kept ringing, and on the court, the game continued to climax.

In this game, as the 2012 Olympic Games in London is about to kick off, several excellent and age-appropriate English players in the team did not come to the UK with the team. In addition, there are some players who are in a sluggish state due to excessive consumption in the European Cup.

Therefore, the professor simply used all three new aids with a wave of his hand in the formation.

The trident composed of Liu Feng, Giroud and Aguero has not changed, and they also received the attention of fans as the most eye-catching combination of the Gunners in the gorgeous scene after the start of the game.

Behind them, Granero and Cazorla formed a combination of two attacking midfielders, and De Jong played as the team's midfielder.

Yes, the professor used the team's new aid for all three midfielders in this game, and even Rosicky, who was in good shape, had to watch the game from the bench first.

On the back line, the team's jack-of-all-trades defender Eboue announced to join Galatasaray this season. After a symbolic transfer fee of 200 million euros, Arsenal sent the veteran away.

But this also means that the team's substitute players at the full-back position are not enough. For example, in this game, after the combination of Gibbs, Mertesacker, Vermalenga Alves, there are only two full-back substitutes on the bench.

Although every remaining defender of the Gunners is very good, how to deal with the long season is definitely a problem, so the club has been actively looking for new suitable players on the pitch.

As for the goalkeeper position, the team's second goalkeeper Szczesny stood in the starting position in this game, and the Polish goalkeeper Fabianski simply did not come to BJ with the team because of the injury factors that occurred after the European Cup.

As for their opponents, this game is also a starting lineup with some main players and substitutes.

Forwards Carlos Tevez and Dzeko are paired forwards, Kompany and Yaya Toure are in the midfield, Beaton and Razak are on the left and right sides, and the back four are Sabaletta, Kolo Touré, Savage and Kolarov.

As for the goalkeeper, since Joe Hart went to the Olympic Games with the team as the goalkeeper, the second goalkeeper Pantelimon got the chance to start the game.

As the commentator of this game, Liu Jianhong and Zhan Jun spent a long time explaining the starting lineup of the two teams, because the scene of this game was too intense.

The first goal of the game arrived just after City's final line-up had been announced.

"The game came to No. 40 minutes, Bitondi broke through from the left to face Alves' defense and knocked back directly!"

Scene after scene, Yaya Toure got the ball immediately after the ball came to the center. At this moment, the two attacking midfielders of the Gunners, Cazorla and Granero, were too far ahead to return to the defense immediately.

"De Jong rushed forward quickly. This is the first time he has faced his old club after joining Arsenal. It is really fast to face his old club like this."

Almost half a month after he was announced to leave the team, he faced his teammates as opponents on the court. De Jong's mental state is really not good, and Yaya Toure, who is in excellent condition and is very familiar with him, will not give him a chance to be dazed.

"Excellent spiking, very silky, direct kick pass diagonally!"

"Shu~"

The ball flew to the right side of the penalty area. Dzeko had entered the penalty area and attracted enough firepower, which also created space for other teammates to insert.

"Zabaleta! Go straight to the winning volley!!!"

"Oh!"

With a muffled sound, the ball pierced the sky like a meteor, took off from the right side of the penalty area and then went straight through the Gunners' gate.

"Szczesny couldn't react, the goal was scored! It was scored! Zabaleta helped Manchester City break the deadlock first, 1-0, they took the lead in this competition."

"Roar! Blue Moon! Blue Moon! Blue Moon!"

In the stands, there were not many Blue Moon fans, and because of Liu Feng's defection, the number of Blue Moon fans finally led the audience once. They cheered heartily and enjoyed the happiness brought by their home team's goal.

On the court, Zabaleta, who reversed the car and blasted into the world wave, was also quite excited.
