Arsenal had already scored six points after defeating Napoli in three to zero.

In the next game, Galatasaray defeated Porto 1-0. Therefore, Arsenal will face Galatasaray tomorrow, while Napoli will face Porto.

Galatasaray Football Club, commonly referred to as Galatasaray, is a professional football club located in Istanbul, Turkey. It is a sub-club under the Galatasaray Sports Club, which is part of the higher-level Galatasaray community.

Galatasaray has won 49 Turkish domestic championships, including 20 Turkish Premier League titles, 16 Turkish Cup championships and 13 Turkish Super Cup championships, and the number of championships has maintained the current Turkish domestic record. Galatasaray is also one of the three clubs that have never been relegated since the establishment of the Turkish Super League in 1959, and is also the only club in Turkey that has won the league championship for four consecutive seasons.

In continental competitions, Galatasaray won the 2000 Europa League and the UEFA Super Cup, becoming the first Turkish club to win the Intercontinental trophy. In the 1999-2000 season, the club completed the four-champion feats of winning the Turkish Super League, Turkish Cup, Europa League and European Super Cup, and remained unbeaten in all UEFA Super Cup competitions that season. Galatasaray is also the only Turkish club that once ranked first in the iffhs world rankings.

How many honors Galatasaray has is not the focus of Zhang Xu’s attention. Zhang Xu only pays attention to, that is former Chelsea forward “Warcraft” Drogba!

Drogba is strong and has outstanding goals and has won three Premier League championships and two Premier League Golden Boots.

Drogba has strong physical fitness, strong explosive power, good at running, and it is difficult for defenders to defend. Drogba is the nightmare of top defenders, because he is not famous for his fancy moves, but with his magical impact, cheetah-like speed, and a strong body as strong as a lion, he leaves the defender far behind, which is very practical. Moreover, he also has an excellent sense of smell in front of the goal and a decisive kick, which makes no choice but to do anything even the best goalkeeper.

Drogba has the physical fitness of a sprinter, a height of 6 feet 3 inches, and a perfect physique of 88 kilograms. The starting speed is not very fast, but if you rush, you will appreciate the terrifying speed of the Warcraft.

His shots are basically based on long shots, angry shots and violent shots; because Drogba's unique shots hold the ball, the ball's line is very strange and his shooting skills are excellent.

At the same time, he is also good at creating opportunities for his teammates.

Drogba's free kick style is unique, roughly the same as the free kick style of Ronaldo, and is one of the representative players of the elevator ball.

Faced with such a player with comprehensive abilities, although Drogba is already 35 years old, it is still a big challenge for Arsenal and Zhang Xu!

Zhang Xu is called a tank, and Drogba is a "warfare". Who has better physical fitness is also a hot topic for many fans in this game.

However, Zhang Xu is still very confident in himself.

No matter how strong Drogba's physical fitness is, it cannot be compared with himself, whose physical attributes are almost all 99 points, right?

In addition to his general defensive attributes of around 95 points, Zhang Xu has the confidence to completely block Drogba.

Although he is very confident, Drogba's strength has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of various Premier League teams, especially Arsenal. I don't know how many goals Drogba has scored, so they all think that it is almost impossible for Zhang Xu to completely block Drogba.

Even head coach Wenger was not optimistic about Zhang Xu. He repeatedly explained to Zhang Xu what to pay attention to when defending Drogba, for fear that Zhang Xu would not know how powerful Drogba was.

The next day, it was still 4:20 pm, and the focus battle kicked off with the referee's whistle.

In this game, Wenger continued to play 3-2-3-2 formation, and Zhang Xu was still the captain of the team. Vermallen relapsed due to injury and needed cultivation, so the back line was Koscheerny, Sania and Mertesacker; Arteta was still cooperating with Zhang Xu, and Wilsher sat on the bench, and Ramsey, Salogo and Cassorla started.

The forwards were Walcott and Chamberlain, and Giroud also sat on the bench.

Such a large adjustment is Wenger's usual approach. In the warm-up match, the result is not important. It is important to allow the team to be fully trained and take the opportunity to practice formation and tactics.

For Galatasaray, former Arsenal full-back Eb appeared as Galatasaray captain, and Drogba and Sneider both entered the bench.

After the game started, Zhang Xu did not make any tests at all and launched a fierce attack on Galatasaray.

Just 40 seconds into the game, Zhang Xu saw the right time in the frontcourt. With a beautiful prediction of the position and steal, he intercepted Galatasaray's pass from the midfielder and then passed the diagonally to Zalogo who was in front. Sanogo's low shot at the edge of the penalty area was confiscated.

In the 5th minute of the game, it was Zhang Xu again. After receiving Cazorla's pass, he passed the ball accurately and directly tore open Galatasaray's defense.

Sanogo grabbed the first point and shot directly, but was blocked by the opponent's defender, but the football was not blocked far away and was obtained by Ramsey, and Ramsey shot again immediately!

This time Ramsey's shot hit the outstretched arm of Galatasaray's defender! However, the obvious handball was not seen by the referee, which allowed Galatasaray to escape.

In the 19th minute of the game, it was Zhang Xu again. When he was dribbling the ball near the center line, he keenly discovered Walcott's forward insertion and immediately made a precise long pass.

Galatasaray's defender Riela made a fatal omission when defending the pass. The football was received by Walcott from 12 yards on the right side of the penalty area. After forming a single shot, Walcott made a rebound and shot.

But unfortunately, this close-range shot actually went beyond the near corner post and flew out of the baseline!

During this period, Galatasaray, who has a strong style, did not have an offensive, but in front of Zhang Xu's strong defense, their offensive was just like a wave slapped on the reef, which seemed beautiful but had no effect.

When the game reached 39 minutes, Arsenal finally scored a goal.

After Zhang Xu got the ball in the frontcourt, he turned around and shot a long time, and was blocked by Galatasaray defender. The football flew out of the baseline against the post, and Arsenal got a corner kick.

Walcott took the corner kick without hesitation. When he passed by Zhang Xu, he secretly made a gesture to Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu understood it and seemed to walk out of the penalty area casually, as if the team had not made a corner kick and organized the team to counterattack and defend on the spot.

Galatasaray did not know much about Zhang Xu's ability, so he did not regard Zhang Xu as his main defensive target.

Walcott took the corner kick directly. The flying arc of this corner kick was very beautiful, flat and fast. In a blink of an eye, it flew to the edge of the outside of the penalty area.

That's the time!

Zhang Xu saw the opportunity and suddenly rushed forward at high speed, and took off directly at about three meters away from the small penalty area!

At this time, his strong bounce ability was completely exposed. When he was stuck in the air, he was more than thirty centimeters higher than the others!

In this case, no one could stop Zhang Xu from grabbing the first point! The football hit Zhang Xu's forehead hard! Then it quickly changed direction, hit the goal line, and then rebounded and flew into the net!

The ball went in! 1:0!

And this ball was taken to the halftime break.

After the second half of the game began, Galatasaray, who was behind in the score, had to arrange for Drogba and Sneider to play as a substitute.

Drogba is indeed strong. When he touched the ball for the first time, because he was not used to his dribbling and shooting methods, Zhang Xu really gave Drogba a chance to shoot. Fortunately, goalkeeper Szesny reacted quickly, otherwise this shot would have made Drogba succeed.

After learning the lesson, Zhang Xu began to think about Drogba's habits and shooting characteristics. Soon, his super academic master's head thoroughly studied Drogba.

In the following time, Zhang Xu was confident. Drogba's good days ended.

In the 57th minute of the game, Drogba crossed the center line and was immediately stopped by Zhang Xu. Seeing that a yellow man dared to fight him head-on, Drogba curled his lips and rushed towards Zhang Xu with the football.

Seeing this scene, Walcott's face suddenly showed a strange smile: Haha, it seems that Drogba is in trouble!

As expected, Drogba changed direction twice in a row, but he could not get rid of Zhang Xu. In the end, he planned to use his body to force Zhang Xu away, but unexpectedly found that the other party was like a wall and could not squeeze out at all.

Just when he was surprised that the other party was as strong as his own, he suddenly felt that the football under his feet was missing. When he looked down, he saw a foot being quickly recycled, and the body behind him also relaxed, and a figure rushed out from his side.

Drogba's center of gravity was unstable and he fell backwards and almost fell to the ground.

At this time, he saw a big number "18" clearly printed on the back that was leaving!

Needless to say, it is naturally Zhang Xu.

In the following time, Zhang Xu fully demonstrated the strength of the world's top midfielder, limiting Drogba to the death. This "Warcraft" who once galloped in the Premier League was as obedient as a kitten in front of Zhang Xu.

In the 73rd minute of the game, Zhang Xu's long pass from the top in the middle was extremely accurate to find Walcott. Walcott suddenly accelerated, shook apart, and then decisively shot the ball. The football hit the inner post and rebounded into the net!

2-0! Arsenal secured the victory!

In the end, Arsenal defeated Galatasaray with a score of 2:0!

At this point, in the Chiefs Cup match, Arsenal won two consecutive games and scored 11 points, winning the 2013 Chiefs Cup championship!
Chapter completed!
