5:0!

When the first half ended, the score became five to zero!

Zhang Xu scored a super long shot and two assists! In other words, from the time he came on the court to the midfield, the three goals Arsenal scored were closely related to him!

In fact, this is the result of Zhang Xu's release of the water. If he really explodes in full swing, the score will be increased by one or two!

Even so, the players in Guangzhou Hengda were quite convinced. When the first half ended, any players familiar with Zhang Xu ran over and greeted Zhang Xu intimately.

The fans in the stands were also excited by Zhang Xu's wonderful performance. Various screams and shouts, and applause came one after another, rendering the Tianhe Stadium into a sea of ​​joy.

Since he had performed fully in the first half, Zhang Xu felt that he had a good explanation to the fans, so he naturally was unwilling to continue playing the second half, so he found Wenger and asked for a replacement.

Wenger was naturally happy to see it, so he quickly agreed, afraid that Zhang Xu would have another problem to make him feel uncomfortable.

Finally, the score of this game was fixed at 7:1!

Arsenal scored two more goals in the second half, and Guangzhou Hengda also scored a goal to save face. This result was a happy ending.

After the game, Zhang Xu asked Wenger for a leave, and accompanied Zheng Zhi, Gao Lin and others, and took Walcott and Ramsey to find a remote and romantic bar, and had a small gathering together.

After the trip to Guangzhou, Arsenal's 2013 trip to Asia ended successfully.

Arsenal club has gained a lot of money and a lot of fans!

However, this has nothing to do with Zhang Xu and other Arsenal players. The team hurriedly boarded the passenger plane to London the next day.

The reason is simple - on August 3rd. The annual Chiefs Cup is about to begin!

The Emirates Cup is the name of a football match, and the correct translation is the Emirates Cup, named after its main sponsor Emirates Airlines. The match is held at the Emirates Stadium, home of the Premier League Arsenal.

Arsenal's warm-up match held by the season each year will last for 2 days and will be held in July 2007. The venue is Arsenal's home court Emirates Stadium in London, in the form of the Ajax Four Corners Tournament.

The Chief is a literal translation, with the full name of Emir Stadium or Emirates Stadium. Emir is the transliteration of Emirates, an advertiser on Arsenal's chest.

The Chiefs Cup is the most heavyweight informal warm-up event in European football. It is watched by about 120,000 people every year. Its popularity is far beyond the highlight of another major warm-up event in European football, "Audi Cup".

The contract with Emirates Airways has signed a sponsorship contract worth 100 million pounds, with the contract term for the naming rights of the stadium for 15 years. In addition, starting from the first season of the new stadium, Emirates has become the main sponsor of Arsenal's jersey for 8 years.

Because the Chiefs Cup is a warm-up event, there is a clear difference between the formal competition system. The Chiefs Cup adopts a league-style competition system. The team that gets the most points after two games can bring the Chiefs Cup home. The participating teams win one game and tie it for 1 point. In addition, the team can score 1 point for each goal.

If the two teams are split equally, the goal difference will be compared, followed by the number of goals. If the match still cannot be compared, the two teams share the trophy. The game is divided into 45 minutes each half. There is 15 minutes of rest in the middle. There is no overtime. Each team can report 11 substitutes per game, and up to 6 of them can be used. The player will be sent off directly in the game or the accumulated two yellow cards will be sent off. He will be suspended in the next game. Whether the ban will continue to the domestic league will depend on the report of the referee on duty and the arbitration of FIFA.

Chiefs Cup winners can retain the trophy until the next game. The Chiefs Cup winners will be Chapman and the Emirates Airways Chairman, and the award ceremony will be held after the final. To reflect the spirit of fair competition, players will line up to send greetings to each other before the game. The starting list will be announced about an hour before the kickoff.

Arsenal has won three Chiefs Cup championships since 2007.

In this Emirates Cup, Arsenal invited three teams, including Galatasaray in the Turkish Premier League, Porto in the Portuguese Premier League and Naples in the Italian League One, and the game will officially start on August 3rd.

It was 4:00 p.m. local time on that day. The focus of the first round of the 2013 Chiefs Cup was held at the Emirates Stadium, with Arsenal playing against Napoli at home.

This is also the first time that Zhang Xu officially appeared in front of Arsenal fans, so before the game began, Wenger held a grand fan meeting ceremony for Zhang Xu.

First, on the big screen of Emirates Stadium, Zhang Xu played wonderful videos or pictures of La Liga in the La Liga, especially the picture of the decision-making victory and loss in the Cup del Rey final, which was played out throughout the whole process. Then, the news about Zhang Xu's joining Arsenal and related videos and pictures of the press conference were played out.

Finally, Zhang Xu was holding a football amid the fans' shouts of landslides, wearing a No. 18 jersey, waved to the fans in the stands, and ran to the center of the stadium.

Here, there is a microphone and a lot of football. After Zhang Xu came here, he picked up the microphone and said aloud: "Friends, good afternoon, everyone! I am the Chinese zhang that you saw on the big screen just now. I'm sorry, I'm not a Martian, nor a star monster!"

"Haha!" Zhang Xu's words immediately made all the fans at the scene laugh.

"Thank you very much for all the Arsenal fans! You gave me such warm applause, which made me flattered! In order to express my gratitude to you, I decided that today and even in the future, I will use all my strength to win more and more important championships for the team and you!"

"Baoba!" Thunderous applause suddenly echoed at the scene!

For fans, there is nothing more exciting than winning the championship, so Zhang Xu's words directly touched the hearts of the fans.

With such a player who is determined to win the championship, such a captain who pursues the championship and has a core player, how can fans not be happy?

Next, Zhang Xu took the football in his arms directly into his hand and kicked the football into the stands with a big foot.

At this time, Zhang Xu's foot strength was seen.

He stood in the center of the stadium and kicked the football directly into the stands. The strength required was not just one or two o'clock.

However, when Zhang Xu played football, he seemed very relaxed and freehand. He had no feeling of insufficient strength.

What shocked the fans was that when Zhang Xu kicked a lot of footballs at the side of the stadium, he turned his target to the vertical fan stands!

This is even more difficult! This is the Emirates Stadium, which can accommodate more than 60,000 people. Zhang Xu's kick must exceed 150 meters before he can kick the football into the stands.

And Zhang Xu did it very easily every time!

With this alone, you can see the powerful power contained in Zhang Xu’s legs!

As a result, the fans became even more excited, and the voices shouting Zhang Xu echoed over the Emirates Stadium again and again, resounding throughout the sky!

After kicking all the footballs, Zhang Xu grabbed the microphone again and kicked them deliberately and said, "Okay, these twenty-two footballs have made me exhausted! If you don't scream at me anymore, I think I won't get up in the next game!"

"Wow! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The fans' laughter mixed with screams suddenly echoed throughout the stadium.

At 4:20 pm, after Zhang Xu's fan meeting ceremony, the game between Arsenal and Napoli officially began.

As the team captain, Zhang Xu started and played as a midfielder in the organization.

The team played in a 3-2-3-2 formation, and it was not Arteta who partnered with Zhang Xu to serve as the midfielder, but Vermulen.

The three defenders behind are Koscheerney, Sarnia and Mertesacker; the midfielders are Wilshere, Ramsey and Rosicki; the front is Walcott and Giroud.

Naples new players Reina and Callejon started, and Higuain entered the bench.

In the third minute of the game, Zhang Xu almost broke through the goal of Naples. He pushed the ball from 10 yards in the melee in the penalty area and missed the left post.

Arsenal finally took the lead in the sixth minute of the game. The Napoli defender made a header and Walcott made a push shot.

After leading by 1-0, Zhang Xu gradually controlled the rhythm of the game in his own hands, and the situation on the court gradually turned to Arsenal.

In the 14th minute of the game, Zhang Xu shot a long shot from 35 yards slightly above the crossbar.

In the 18th minute of the game, Arsenal rewrites the score again.

After Zhang Xu received a pass from Willsheer in the middle, he saw Ramsey unattended on the right, so he passed the ball over the top and slapped the ball to Ramsey who was in the right. Ramsey swung over the Napoli defender on the right side of the penalty area and shot successfully from a small angle! 2:0!

Although the game was in a passive situation and was behind in the score, the Naples team did not lose their fighting spirit, but instead became more and more courageous.

In the 31st minute of the game, Almero quickly counterattacked and broke into the penalty area and made a cross from the left. Cissini's shot from the far point was blocked and deflected and bounced out of the left post.

In the 34th minute of the game, Ramsey passed the ball, and Giroud's powerful shot from 18 yards on the left side of the penalty area was blocked by Inle and then crossed the far corner post and missed it. Then Willsheer took a corner kick, and Zhang Xu headed the ball from 10 yards and was saved by Napoli goalkeeper Renner with his fingertips.

The second half will change sides and fight again.

Because of the score behind, Napoli's Higuain finally came on as a substitute.

However, even if he appeared, he failed to change the overall situation of the game, and the initiative was still firmly controlled by Zhang Xu.

In the 48th minute of the game, Ramsey passed the ball, Zhang Xuqiang broke through three people and then shot low from 12 yards on the right side of the penalty area slightly out of the far corner.

In the 52nd minute of the game, Mertesak passed the ball, Zhang Xu headed the ball, and Podolski, who came on the bench, shot from the left side of the penalty area missed.

The score was finally rewritten again when the game reached the 77th minute.

After Zhang Xu cooperated with Willsheer in the middle, he suddenly passed the ball directly, directly penetrated Napoli's defense line, and then Podolsky, who came on the bench, made a low shot!

3:0!

At this point, Arsenal secured the victory!
Chapter completed!
