The first opponent of Arsenal's Chiefs Cup is Benfica. Speaking of which, the matches in the Chiefs Cup are continuous and play in two days. Let's talk about this year's Chiefs Cup, Arsenal No. 3 vs. Benfica, Valencia vs. Monaco, Arsenal No. 4 vs. Monaco, and Valencia vs. Benfica.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for fans, because they can watch two games in a row, and because of this, the Emirates Stadium can fill up the Emirates Stadium almost every year.

Because Arsenal had a Li Shou, the Chiefs Cup was broadcast live in China, but Li Shou was impossible to play in the first game. Wenger has announced that the starting lineup for the first game is almost dominated by Arsenal's original players.

At 2:00 p.m. on the 3rd, the game between Valencia and Monaco kicked off. Compared with last season, Monaco's lineup was more than a little bit worse this season.

But in the warm-up match, no one will come to the real one. Even if the rewards for the warm-up match are pretty good, will the UAE sponsored competition be stingy?

On the court, both sides played very openly. Valencia scored less than ten minutes into the game. Monaco was not willing to be outdone. Falcao, who recovered from injury, scored a goal to tie the score, and the first half ended with a 1:1 score.

After the change of sides, the two sides began to rotate, but the game was still good, but the goal was not mentioned, and each scored another goal, and the final score was 2:2.

I have to say that Arsenal is doing a good job in making money. Before the second game starts, fans will definitely have to replenish their energy. Sixty thousand people are a very considerable income.

After the fans' energy was almost replenished, the players from Arsenal and Benfica began to appear. As the hosts of Emirates Stadium, Arsenal's appearance caused a burst of cheers.

Li Shou also appeared on the court, and when Li Shou appeared, a five-star red flag floated in the stands of the Emirates Stadium. Obviously, this is a fan from China.

However, they are destined to be disappointed today because Li Shou did not play. Although Wenger replaced Szczesny in the second half, it was not Li Shou who came on as a substitute, but Ospina.

Perhaps it was the pressure brought by the new players to the old players. Arsenal played a bit seriously in this game. When the game ended, Benfica was brutally massacred and the final score was frozen 5:1.

The next day, it seemed that all teams had a big rotation. Not to mention other teams, Arsenal alone was very exaggerated in rotation. Chambers was on the center back, Derbych was on the right back, and goalkeeper Li Shou himself was on the middle ground, including several veterans, Rosici, Arteta and Flamini, forward Sanchez, and Griezmann Gazanogo.

Monaco is the main player. In the last game, Monaco was on the bench and the goalkeeper was Subacic. This summer, Monaco rented Dutch goalkeeper Stecklenburg from Fulham.

Both sidebacks are Li Shou’s old acquaintances, Kurzawa and Fabinho, and veteran central defender Carvalho stayed, and his partner is Li Shou’s good friend Raji.

The midfielders include Condobia, Moutinho and Tularang, Berbatov on the front line, Martial and German. Falcao has started in the last game, and this game is on the bench.

Although Monaco is familiar with players in this game, Li Shou still feels that the current Monaco team has changed a lot.

"Man, don't forget the promise after the game." As early as after the Chiefs' Cup invited the team, Li Shou made an appointment with Raji to have a meeting. Of course, Li Shou did not only invite Raji, he also invited veteran Carvalho.

Li Shou's best friends in Monaco are Raji and Medjani. Now the three of them only need Raji to stay in Monaco, and then they partnered with Carvalho and Abidal for a long time. Unfortunately, both Medjani and Abidal are no longer in the team at this moment.

Abidal went to the Greek giants. Medjani and Monaco had only signed a contract for two years and have signed a contract with the Turkish team Trabzon.

Compared with the Chinese fans yesterday, the Chinese fans who appeared in the stands today were undoubtedly lucky, and not long after the game started, Li Shou made his first save in this game.

Since Martial, since he is known as the new "Henry", he naturally needs to show himself in front of Arsenal. In the fourth minute of the game, Martial received a pass from Moutinho, and then waded through Derbych on the side and rushed into the penalty area.

Martial's breakthrough this time is still a bit like Henry's style, but in the last shot, Martial cannot be compared with Henry, not to mention that Li Shou is standing in front of Arsenal's goal at this moment.

Martial's shot was not very threatening, and his strength and angle were average. Li Shou directly caught the ball, and then Arsenal launched a counterattack. Li Shou gave the ball to Arteta, who directly found Sanchez.

In this game, Sanchez appeared on the left and Griezmann appeared on the right, but Wenger did not fix their positions and could switch positions depending on the situation.

Although Sanchez and Griezmann have good skills under their feet, they are different types of players. Sanchez has good speed and explosive power, and has good dribbling ability, so they have a sharp breakthrough.

Griezmann's breakthrough cannot be compared with Sanchez, but his ability to run without the ball and his sense of smell when cutting into the penalty area are better than Sanchez. Compared with Sanchez, Griezmann still has some shortcomings that need to be improved, such as his passing ability.

Arsenal's first goal was the cooperation of these two people. Sanchez broke through on the wing and made a cross. Sanchez cut into the penalty area from the right to come to the back point.

However, Arsenal failed to score goals in the first wave of offense, and most of the starting players in this game have just joined this season. Sanchez and Griezmann have just arrived at the team, and all the tacit understanding is a bit insufficient.

This was also proved in the subsequent time. There was insufficient tacit understanding in offense and full of loopholes in defense. It seemed that Chambers was not very suitable for the central defender position.

In this game, Arsenal's central defenders are Chambers and Monreal, respectively. These two are usually full-backs. However, Arsenal's current orthodox central defenders are only Koscheerney and Mertesacker.

Although the central defender's defense was full of loopholes, it also gave Li Shou a chance to perform. In the whole first half, Li Shou made nine saves to ensure that the goal was not lost.

At the end of the first half, the score between the two sides was still 0:0, and Li Shou was only 60 minutes before the first. After fifteen minutes of the second half, Wenger replaced Li Shou with Ospina.

Although Ospina is defined as the third goalkeeper, she is a new player after all, so she always has to give some time to show herself. As a result, this show caused Arsenal to lose the game, and the championship that was almost secured was eventually overtaken by Valencia.
