117 Against the Blue Moon

After that, on August 4, the club held a press conference in London, and the theme of the conference was to personally announce the transfer with Sun Xiang and let him debut in London.

In fact, as early as the 4th of last month, the team announced the news on its official website. Although it was basically a certain number of things, Gunners fans still seemed extremely excited after seeing the official statement.

The press conference was postponed for one month because the team went to France for training.

However, good things are never afraid of being late. A large number of media came to the press conference that day, rushing to take first-hand photos and news!

At the meeting, Sun Xiang appeared in front of the media public wearing the No. 4 jersey of the new season. His youthful face was filled with a sunny smile, just as dazzling as the "sun" behind the jersey.

So, before the press conference was over, major news websites headlines posted the story of Sun Xiang's appearance, and each media expressed their views on Sun Xiang's future.

"Sky Sports": Vieira, Fabregas, Mertesacker. These well-known names always remind us that Arsenal's No. 4 has an extraordinary responsibility. Now, this inherited number has come to the hands of 18-year-old sun, hoping that the number "4" can be more dazzling under the sun.

"London Daily": France, Spain, Germany and Western European countries have ended their monopoly on the No. 4 jersey, and Sun from the East will continue his myth.

Henry, a former famous Arsenal star and "King of Highbury", said in an interview with the media: "sun? I have watched that kid's game. You may not believe it when you say it. I think he is the youngest and best midfielder of this era. In the next few years, he will definitely become a strong contender for the Golden Globes."

"Compared with Seske? I don't think they are comparable. Seske is a traditional midfielder. His overall view and passing ability are still first-class in Europe. This has been mentioned when I worked with him. However, Sun is a more aggressive frontcourt all-rounder. He can play anywhere on the offensive end, even the midfielder, and he has done very well. I don't think he can find a second player like this now."

Later, some media found Fabregas, who was resting at his home in London for this comment, and the latter replied half-jokingly: "Don't ask Thierry about this kind of question, he is just a striker, and he has no idea about the midfield."

But then he still expressed his opinion seriously: "Actually, as Thierry said, there are still some differences in style between me and Sun, just saying that he has more scoring methods than me. To be honest, I didn't pay much attention to Sun before this, I just heard from my friend in Germany. Now that he joins Arsenal, I really understand him. He is a magical player and has reason to choose the No. 4 jersey."

Later, the reporter asked what his attitude was about being Sun Xiang's idol. The Spaniard smiled happily and said, "It is really a proud thing to be his idol, because it is very likely that he will become my idol in a few years. But before that, I hope to fight him in the league."

As a fan, I must be very happy to be able to be evaluated by my idol. So after that, Sun Xiang expressed his thoughts on social media.

"This year has made me grow a lot. Thank you to every teammate, Mr. Schmidt, Professor Wenger, my agent and my family, and of course I would like to thank the fans who have always supported me. I am also looking forward to being able to fight head-on with my idol. The London Derby has never lacked highlights, so let us add new highlights! The new season is about to begin, and I am also ready to start a new journey at the Emirates Stadium. No matter what the road ahead, I will definitely move forward bravely!"

The first game of the season was on August 12, the Community Shield Cup between Arsenal and Manchester City, and it was also the first game to start in the UK's 2O18 season.

The match was held at the Wembley Stadium in London, a large stadium with a capacity of 90,000 people, which has held many FA Cup matches, including the England National Team.

On August 12, at 3:30 p.m. local time, the confrontation between the English champions of last season and the FA Cup champions of last season is about to begin.

This game was also broadcasted by Sky Sports.

"What do you think is the most important highlight of this game?" Martin Taylor asked Alan Smith next to him.

"I think our understanding should be the same." Alan Smith smiled.

Of course, there is no need to say more. The highlight of this game is the boy wearing a No. 4 jersey.

"Have you known about sun before this? I just read the relevant reports and have a little understanding of him."

Before waiting for the game to begin, Martin Taylor and Alan Smith chatted in the broadcast seat.

"Sun, I have read his reports before, Sky Sports has also done reports, and I also edited relevantly. Anyway, to me, he is a magical boy, just like his nickname before."

"Then do you think he will continue to perform like that magic today?" asked Martin Taylor.

"This is hard to say. The British confrontation is really not low, and it is not easy for players to adapt to it. What's more, the opponent in this game is the defending champion Manchester City." Alan Smith said the truth.

At the beginning of this season, "Blue Moon" did not make much move in the transfer market, and some young players were sold and purchased scatteredly. Compared with other teams, this can only be considered a light wind and rain. Therefore, Manchester City still ranked last season's championship team in this game.

"However, Chelsea also sent the team from the previous season in his defending season last season. There was no change except for the lack of Matic and Costa. It was suitable for the first game but was defeated by Burnley at home, so I think Sun's show is very interesting!" Martin Taylor expressed his different views.

In this game, Manchester City's lineup has basically remained unchanged since last season, with goalkeeper Morace; defenders Delf, Kompany, Otamendi and Walker; midfielder threes Silva, Fernandinho, De Bruyne; forward Sane, Jesus and Sterling.

Arsenal still shipped out a 3-4-2-1 formation. Goalkeeper Cech; defenders Koscheerny, Mustafi, Holding; midfielders Bellerin, Zachar, Wilsher and Cazorla; the two wings are Sun Xiang and Ozil, and the single arrow Lacazette.
