Coach, I want to play football!

It's mid-August, the air in London is sultry, and the bright afternoon sun makes people drowsy.

It's after one o'clock in the afternoon, which is when people get sleepy.

Sturridge yawned and looked listless while warming up at the Emirates Stadium.

It was okay for Ye Qi to arrive, because after lunch, he took a light nap.

The Premier League opener was not held in the afternoon local time after dinner as usual, but at tea time in London.

Three o'clock in the afternoon is a bit uncomfortable for fans in England.

In recent years, the broadcast share of the Premier League has become higher and higher, so in order to take care of fans around the world, the schedule of the Premier League schedule is also slowly changing.

The most obvious is the opening match, which takes place at [-]pm GMT.

The Chinese time corresponding to this time is exactly [-] o'clock on Friday night, which is very friendly to fans in China and even most of Asia.

I can go to bed just after watching the game, and the next day is the weekend and I don’t have to get up early.

Any fool can see that this is the Premier League company compromising for China and even the entire Asian market.

This made the Arsenal fans curse, because most of them had to take half a day off this afternoon to watch the game at the stadium in order to get a share of the broadcast.

Although the timing is not very good, the attendance at the Emirates Stadium today is very high as always.

After all, it is the team's opening game of the new season, and it is also a strong dialogue, so Arsenal fans naturally want to enter the stadium to cheer for the home team.

Ye Qi can be said to be unmatched in the entire Chinese sports circle. The key is that he not only has a huge fan base in China, but also has many fans in Southeast Asia and even Japan.

Fans who had a good life as a child have Mu Qiang's blood engraved in their genes, so when Ye Qi won the Premier League championship, scored 45 goals in the league, and joined the old giant Liverpool, many Japanese fans Started to like Ye Qi.

As for the Bangzi fans, they are tough-mouthed.In their opinion, their Son Heung-min and Oppa are much better than Ye Qi.

Of course, this does not prevent some Bangzi fans from becoming fans of Ye Qi.However, these Bangzi fans have begun to study Ye Qi's bloodline, thinking that Ye Qi may have Bangzi blood and is essentially a Bangzi person.

Fortunately, Ye Qi didn't know, otherwise he would have felt like he had been unlucky for eight lifetimes.

All this is the result of the Premier League starting to focus on the Asian market.

"Welcome to watch the 2016-2017 season brought to you by pdtv First Sports, the opening game of the Premier League, the Gunners Arsenal will face the Red Army Liverpool at home!" Zhan Jun said with a smile in front of the camera.

Zhan Jun ended his contract with Leshi Sports last season and moved to pdtv in the new season, which is similar to Ye Qi's move.

When it comes to Ye Qi's transfer, the first one to start with is Zhan Jun, because his favorite player joined his favorite team!

"We are today's commentator Zhan Jun, and director Liu Yueliu."

Liu Yue sat in front of the camera and greeted everyone. He also came to pd sports this season and was temporarily separated from Fat Brother on the first floor.

Liu Yue: "Brother Jun, what do you think of this game?"

Zhan Jun thought for a while and told the truth. "Actually, I think Arsenal had the advantage today."

"Oh?" Liu Yue was a little surprised, because he knew that Zhan Jun had been a Liverpool fan since he was a child, and now that Ye Qi has transferred to Liverpool, even die-hard Arsenal fans have mixed feelings when facing Liverpool with Ye Qi. .

"Although Liverpool has spent a lot of money on signings this season, we also have to see that the Red Army has changed a lot of people on all lines. This is a problem for their running-in. On the other hand, Arsenal."

"They were the league runners-up last season. If the Blue Foxes hadn't created the myth, they might have ended the embarrassment of not having a league title for many years."

"They did not make any major changes this season. The team that could compete for the championship last season is still there. At the same time, they have strengthened their recruitment in a targeted manner in the new season, such as Mustafi at the back and Xhaka in the midfield. Pragmatic signings.”

"Last season they had a lot of injuries in the back line and midfield, so this season Professor Arsene Wenger made targeted signings. He was on defense before."

"But in my opinion, they still lack a striker. It would be even better if they could sign a strong striker!"

Although Arsenal's signings this summer include Japanese forward Takuma Asano, everyone knows that Asano is unlikely to play in the first team.

Takuma Asano, who is only 21 years old this year, has no experience in European leagues and cannot obtain a labor certificate. Therefore, Arsenal has recently been looking for a rental team for the Japanese forward.

So Zhan Jun naturally didn't mention Asano Takuma, after all, he was not qualified to play.

However, the Japanese media are very happy about Asano Takuma's transfer.I think this is most likely Kagawa Shinji or Honda Keisuke II.

Of course, maybe there is still a lack of enthusiasm now, but we can’t say for sure about the future.

Liu Yue said: "However, it is rumored that Arsenal is in contact with Spanish forward Lucas Perez from Deportivo La Coruna. The Spanish forward scored 0.5 league goals in La Liga last season, averaging [-] goals per game. Not bad, at least there is nothing wrong with giving Giroud and Welbeck rotations and substitutes."

Zhan Jun nodded, but he was actually referring to a powerful center who can guarantee goals.For example, Higuain, Ye Qi, Suarez, etc., Giroud can only play as a substitute when he comes.

Zhan Jun: "Okay, let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides today..."

Under normal circumstances, the starting lineups of both sides have been announced two hours before the game starts, so fans who have been paying attention to the game information already know the starting lineup.

But as a commentator, I must introduce it before every game.

Zhan Jun: "First of all, the home team. The goalkeeper is Cech, the central defender partners are Koscielny and Mertesacker, and the full-backs are Monreal and Bellerin respectively."

Bellerin, who was only 20 years old last season, had already established himself as Arsenal's main right back, so he will naturally be the main player in the new season.

Mertesacker suffered a lot of injuries last season, so he was replaced by Gabriel.After Mertesacker recovered in the new season, he returned to the starting lineup again.

However, for the position of central defender, it is necessary to have three main players.Arsenal added Shkodran Mustafi this summer, and all four of them are capable of playing the main role. Obviously Wenger is worried about injuries.

"In the midfield, Cazorla is partnered with Ramsey, and new aid Xhaka is temporarily sitting on the bench, along with Coquelin, a product of the youth training."

"Ozil is the attacking midfielder, Sanchez and Walcott are on the left and right, and Giroud is the center forward!"

"Welbeck was injured in training, so Arsenal will be downsized in the new season. If the forward line needs to be adjusted, Sanchez may be asked to step up, and then Chamberlain will play on the side."

In the past two years, Welbeck and Liverpool's Sturridge can be described as "two hard-working brothers". They are either recovering from injuries or on the way to recover from injuries...
