Chapter 1309

The 2018/2019 Premier League season officially started on August 8.

Arsenal will play away against Newcastle United in their first game.

The performance of the Magpies in recent seasons is still tepid, and they can barely reach the level of relegation, but it is a little more difficult to go one step further.

And Newcastle United's transfer investment this season is not too much.

Basically, it is mainly about collecting leftovers. It seems that some transfer operations are being carried out, but it does not have much significance for the reinforcement of the overall strength.

To put it bluntly, it's money that makes trouble. Without money, it's hard to make a difference in today's highly commercialized football world.

I haven't seen many traditional giants gradually decline under the impact of commercialization, let alone Newcastle United.

Newcastle is a port city in the northeast of England, about 450 kilometers north of London.

In order to travel to Newcastle more comfortably, Arsenal moved by train.

Arsenal directly booked a carriage to avoid being disturbed.

After driving for about 4 hours, they finally arrived in Newcastle.

Due to the game in the afternoon, the time is still relatively tight.

After Arsenal arrived in Newcastle, they went directly to the training ground. After simple adaptive training and lunch, they went to the game venue around 1 o'clock.

Under the exhaustion of boats and cars, the mental state of the players is not particularly good.

But they still cheered up.

After all, it is the first game of the season, and they want to get a good start.

After coming to the locker room, Mourinho directly announced the starting list.

It is still the main starting force formulated before.

Although some substitutes performed well, they will not play directly in the first game. This is a game that must be won steadily.

For this reason, the main force is more secure.

Both starting lineups.

Newcastle United (3-5-2):

Goalkeeper: Dubravka.

Defenders: Scheer, Lascelles, Dummett.

Midfielders: Manquillo, Hayden, Shelvey, Longstaff, Ricky.

Forwards: Almiron, Joelinton.

Arsenal (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Martinez.

Defenders: Bellerin, Jimenez, Hummels, Robertson.

Midfielders: Aubameyang, Kanter, Eriksson, Lucky, Mane.

Forward: Giroud.

"Here is the first round of the 2019/2020 Premier League season, Newcastle United vs Arsenal!"

"The Magpies set up a 3-5-2 formation in this game. I have to say that Bruce dared to set up a three-back position against Arsenal. He is really very courageous!"

Andy Gray joked a little.

Richard on the side shrugged and said: "What else can I do? In fact, even in a defensive formation, there is still a dedication to being pierced by Arsenal. At present, there is no so-called tactical restraint when facing Arsenal. In this case, you can only use the tactics you are best at."

"For the Magpies, in this game, as long as they win a draw, it is already very good."

Andy Gray: "Of course, Arsenal wants to take away three points and win a good start. Judging from Arsenal's previous game state, this is not without chance, and Arsenal will play with all the main players in this game. That's the signal to win the game."

In the opening of the two narrators, the atmosphere of the scene was more dignified.

The Newcastle fans were cheering constantly, but under the camera, their expressions were extremely heavy.

Obviously, Arsenal put too much pressure on them.

The five-time champion last season, won two championships at the beginning of this season, and still maintains an unbeaten record. These titles alone are scary enough.

Coupled with the rendering of the media, their pressure can be seen.

In the player channel, the Newcastle players also looked dignified.

The first game of the season was really tense, but some people were clearly over the top, their bodies were a little stiff.

For this reason, they had to slap their thighs and arms, hoping that their bodies would be more excited.

But under the pressure of the psychological level, the excitement is far from enough.

Compared with their longing for the game, their pressure is greater.

Everyone knows that at this time, whoever can beat Arsenal will become the focus of the whole of Europe.

Maybe even fight to fame.

But this kind of opportunity is also challenging. With Newcastle's current lineup, it is indeed a bit delusional for them to want to beat Arsenal.

Compared with Newcastle's tense range, Arsenal's side is more indifferent.

The pre-season Community Shield Cup and the European Super League made them enter the league faster.

Overall morale is also high.

To that end, they see no reason to lose to Newcastle.

Soon, players from both sides entered the arena under the intense cheers at the scene.

In the camera, they stood in a row. After finishing the pre-match filming work, the two captains began to guess sides.

At this time, the commentators are also introducing some statistics of the game.

After the two captains finished guessing sides and Arsenal won the kick-off, the game officially entered the tense stage.

Giroud stepped on the ball in midfield, despite the four-hour drive to the away game, which made his body tired and stiff.

But his overall fighting spirit is extremely strong.

Even at this time there is a strong desire to shoot.

He feels he's in great shape.

In this atmosphere, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

After Giroud kicked off, he ran forward immediately, and Arsenal also started to press forward on the basis of controlling the ball.

Of course, Newcastle, who had a larger midfield, started to press hard.

At first, Eriksson was not particularly used to facing this kind of pressing, but when Lucay came to the other side of the midfield, the pressure on him was greatly eased.

And based on Lucky's strong point, Eriksson also passed on the pressure, and even gave up the space, and he became a connection point.

This is also one of Eriksson's strengths. Although he is not a pressure-resistant player, he knows how to sacrifice a certain amount of ego to seek the advantages of the team.

After Le Kai gradually stabilized the situation in the middle, Le Kai passed the ball towards Eriksson.

At this time, Eriksson and Aubameyang just completed a cross exchange, and Eriksson pulled the left side.

In the face of the pass, Eriksson did not receive the ball forward, nor did he make a breakthrough.

He waited.

But this pause was considered by the opponent's defensive players as an opportunity, and they immediately pressed their feet.

Eriksson quickly kicked out at this time and poked lightly at the ball.

The ball slipped through the opponent's crotch.

And Eriksson raised his head immediately after completing a pass through the crotch, and the next second, he opened his posture and made a direct pass.

"Eriksen, wonderful pass through the crotch, it's a direct cross, let's look at the middle, Giroud!!!"

Andy Gray's voice suddenly rose.

At this time, he saw Giroud in the middle of the penalty area jumping high, and he directly smashed towards the ball angrily.

"Giroud! Grab the point! This ball."

Andy Gray paused for a moment, then shouted in the next second:

"Goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Arsenal scored a goal while we were introducing the starting line-up."

"In the first minute or so, they blasted away Newcastle United's goal!"

"A wonderful escape + cross. Of course, Giroud's mid lane grab is also very good."

"It's all about Arsenal's goals!"

"At the beginning of the game, when the Magpies players didn't even touch the ball, they were already behind. Control of the field, but they undercut Arsenal's attacking decisiveness!"

"Of course, Eriksson's well-timed cross is also the key!"

Speaking of this, Andy Gray couldn't help but sighed; "Arsenal's frontcourt has been activated by Eriksson!"

"pretty!!"

Lucy put his arm around Giroud and Eriksson, smiling happily.

In the past, Arsenal relied on him to lead the offense, which also led to Lucky's consumption after a season.

Under such intense consumption, it is extremely difficult to maintain the state.

Especially at the end of the season, Le Kai is almost gritting his teeth and trying to hold on.

But now, with the joining of Eriksson, his pressure is greatly reduced.

At the very least, there are many offenses that don't need to be taken care of, unless Eriksson can't stand it.
