After Arsenal successfully advanced to the European Champions League finals, the team's performance attracted the attention of various British media, especially Zhang Xu's performance, which became the focus of media coverage.

"All wins and zero conceds in seven games, Arsenal is about to rise again!"

This is a commentary from the Mirror. In the article, the commentator wrote: From the Chiefs Cup to the second leg of the UEFA Champions League, Arsenal played a total of seven games, with a record of seven games and seven wins!

As usual, Arsenal showed strong momentum at the beginning of the season, and the victory of these seven games is the best example.

However, Arsenal also has something different from usual, that is, Arsenal conceded fewer goals, and none of them conceded seven games, which is too unusual.

Arsenal gave everyone the impression that he had strong attack power but weak defense. But now, the defense has become stronger, which is indeed too important for Arsenal.

If Arsenal really solves the defensive problems, then Arsenal's overall strength will undergo a qualitative change!

What brought such changes to Arsenal was the magical Chinese zhang that just joined Arsenal this summer!

After China zhang joined, Arsenal established a solid defense line in the midfield and backcourt, completely solving Arsenal's chronic diseases.

Under such circumstances, Arsenal has a brilliant record of winning seven games and not conceding goals. From this we can predict that Arsenal will rise again because of this!

Not only the Mirror has published relevant commentary on Arsenal, but other newspapers have also published articles to explain their views on Arsenal and Zhang Xu.

"China zhang established a solid defense line for Arsenal and helped Arsenal win in seven consecutive games!"

"China's zhang data is amazing, Arsenal's rebirth"

.............

At the same time, Zhang Xu's performance has also attracted the attention of many football celebrities, especially former football celebrities in Arsenal, who have made remarks and expressed concern about the current situation of the team.

Adams, former Gunners star and Arsenal's greatest captain, once helped the team build the most solid defense, and now he is happy to see that Arsenal has solved the team's most lacking shortcomings before.

"The problem that Arsenal has been around in recent years is that they play too openly and they are very likely to be attacked by their opponents.

"Since Gilberto left, the barrier in the midfield has disappeared. The team has no balance anymore. They are too keen on attack and the full-backs are too frequent forwards, which makes Qiu Wei feel insecure in the defense. This is a big problem.

"They need to find a player - either discover them in the team or buy one - a player who can control the midfield. They need a guy like this, and when the whole team is on the offense, he can block the opponent's counterattack."

Arsenal fans are very annoyed by the team's inaction in the transfer market. Now Podolski is absent for two months due to injury, and his calls for signing a new striker will become increasingly louder.

But Arsenal still has a part-time attack line that is not a problem.

“Arsenal always can score,” he said. “Everyone on the team has the ability to score. There is no problem with the team’s attack at the moment.

"The team has enough attackers, but the team needs someone who can destroy the opponent's attack when the opponent strikes back.

“I can understand the troubles of the fans. They have seen too many loss of top players. Without top players, you can’t win the championship, and too many people have let go of Arsenal.

"I always think that Arsenal needs to find the next Gilberto, and now, this worry between me and the fans has finally disappeared because China zhang joined the team and showed extraordinary defensive ability in the previous few games, completely solving Arsenal's chronic disease."

"Not only that, China's ability is very comprehensive, the midfield organization is well organized, and the offense is fruitful, and it frequently contributes wonderful assists and goals to the team!"

"This kind of China is no longer just a Gilberto, but Gilberto Fabregas! Even stronger!"

"We are very happy that Arsenal has such a strong midfield core and such a captain. I hope to see an Arsenal rising again!"

In addition to Adams, others also stood up to express their gratitude for the current situation of Arsenal, including "King of Highbury" Henry!

He said in an interview with reporters: "As former Arsenal people, we have always been very concerned about Arsenal's situation and hope that Arsenal can regain its momentum and rise again."

"This hope and expectation continues year after year, but we always see no signs of Arsenal's rise again."

"This made us very disappointed and disappointed! And this time, we finally saw hope. After joining China zhang, we completely eliminated the team's chronic diseases and eliminated the team's problem of focusing on offense and neglecting defense!"

"We are very happy to see an Arsenal without defensive loopholes, because only such Arsenal can bear the hope of all our Arsenals and truly make Arsenal rise again!"

"So, here, I have to thank the magical Chinese zhang! Thank him for joining Arsenal when the team needed changes the most! Thanks to his joining, which brought hope for the team to rise!"

Vieira, who was already the youth team head coach at Manchester City Club, said in an interview with reporters:

"China zhang is very strong. Even at my peak, it is difficult for me to face him head-on. His physical fitness is stronger than mine. What's even more terrifying is that his strong body is so fast, which is really incredible!"

"At the same time, the midfield organization of China zhang is very distinctive. Every time he runs and passes, he seems to be preparing an invisible net. Well, that's right, it's a net, treating every member of the team as a node in the net, and firmly controlling the opponent."

"This kind of midfield organization is very powerful because it can bring together everyone in the team and form a strong whole! The power condensed by eleven people is very terrifying! It can completely change the overall strength level of a team! I think this is also why La Coruna, which has always been at the late La Liga game level, can break the situation of the top three in La Liga!"

"In fact, such a midfield organization has appeared in the world football world, but none of them have failed. Because such a midfield organization that is like a net has put forward very high requirements for the physical fitness and speed of the midfield organizers!"

"No one can really do this! And now, we see that China zhang does not have the slightest sense of difficulty, and it actually has a sense of ease!"

"China zhang has also made great achievements in offense. His goal efficiency is not lower than that of ordinary strikers. I remember when he was in La Liga, he was the fourth in the La Liga scorer list! This shows his strong offense**!"

"Anyway, we are all very happy to see a brand new Arsenal. I hope they will have good luck! I hope they can rise again!"

Just as the outside world was arguing over Arsenal's crazy seven-game winning streak, Zhang Xu and his teammates had already begun preparing for the upcoming North London derby on September 1.

The opponent is naturally Tottenham Hotspur!

Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, known as Tottenham, is one of the teams in the English Premier League. Because the traditional home jersey is white, Tottenham fans are called "lilywhites".

The club was founded in 1882 and its home court is located in the White Hart Lane Stadium in Tottenham, north London. The club's motto "auderestfacere" means "dare to act". As early as World War I, Tottenham had become mortal enemies with neighboring Arsenal, and the game between the two teams is the famous "North London Derby".

Tottenham is the first team to become a double champion of the league and FA Cup in the 20th century. It is one of the three teams that can win two consecutive FA Cups, and the only team to achieve this result twice. It won the European Winner Cup throne in 1963 and was the first team in the UK to win the European Championship.

The two teams have a long history of grievances, which can be traced back to 1887.

In a double-leg friendly match in 1887, the players of Arsenal (called Royal Arsenal at the time) deliberately arrived late, but as the sky quickly turned dark, the game between the two sides could only end fifteen minutes early; in the second leg of Arsenal, none of their players were late. Although Tottenham defeated Arsenal at home, the latter also won the full home game time, and more importantly, Arsenal won more goals at home. Tottenham Hotspurs people believe that their opponents had cheated and got 15 minutes of game time at home, but the result of the game was decided.

The first league game between the two teams was in the Group One League on April 2, 1909, and Arsenal won 1-0.

The hostility between the two teams gradually deepened in World War I. First, in 1913, Arsenal moved from Woolwich in South London to Highbury Stadium, which was only 4 miles away from Tottenham Hotspur's White Deer Track Stadium. However, due to its closer to central London, it aroused strong opposition from many clubs, including Chelsea, who are also in London, not to mention Tottenham Hotspurs in the north.

The two teams completely aroused mutual hatred because in 1919, the two teams were about to expand the two teams, ranking second to last in Group A, that is, Chelsea, which was originally going to be relegated, was allowed to remain in the league, and one team should have been selected from Tottenham Hotspur, the last 20th in Group A, or Barnsley, the third in Group B. However, surprisingly, Arsenal, which ranked fifth in Group B, was actually invited to upgrade because the FA executives believed that Arsenal had "contribution outstanding", and Tottenham Hotspur was relegated in a confused manner. Although there was no substantial evidence, the rumors still alleged that Arsenal chairman Sirhenry Norris used the bottom-tier trade to achieve his goal.

News of Tottenham Hotspur being relegated came, the team's mascot, a green parrot sent by the captain when they returned to China when they visited Argentina, felt uncomfortable immediately and died in a few days. The two teams have since become a feud that is incompatible with each other.

Just like other hostile teams, although fans of the two teams may work together or be close friends, they still attack and joke with each other because of the team they support. Once players turn to the enemy, they will be like rats crossing the street and be scolded by former fans.

The most classic derby battle between the two sides is the North London derby battle in the evening of February 26, 2012, in the 26th round of the 2011-12 Premier League, Arsenal faced his visiting rival Tottenham at the Emirates Stadium.

Adebayo assisted Saha to open the first record, Bale made a penalty, Adebayo made a free throw, Van Persie and Sania passed the ball, Walcott scored twice, Rosici also scored a goal, Arsenal scored 5 goals in a row, reversed Tottenham 5-2, which is a classic battle.
