In the next two days, Sun Xiang was still training. There was no such thing as taking a vacation in August, where the schedule was tight.

Finally, amid the expectation, the 2o18-19 British League season began.

The game of the season started at Old Trafford, with the "Red Devils" Manchester United facing the visiting Swansea. Finally, with two goals from Ji Chengyong and Routridge, "Swans" defeated Manchester United in an upset away game, becoming the first team to score points this season.

Swansea's victory allowed other mid- and lower-level teams to see the hope of continuing to be upset and increased their confidence. They also looked forward to the fight with Ying G4.

On August 17, one of the G4 teams also faced a challenge from a total downstream team, that is, Arsenal.

Since the first league game in each season is regarded as a microcosm of the entire season, pre-season preparations will gain results in this game, and the tactical situation will be verified in the UK.

However, Arsenal, who had just won the Community Shield Cup, had to rotate to prepare for the Champions League playoffs three days later.

Young players like Akpeng got a chance to play. Although Sun Xiang also appeared, according to Wenger's intention, he would be replaced during the game.

Therefore, a game that had no suspense at all once again gave the "Eagles" hope.

In this game, they selected all the main players to play, unanimously planning to take away a victory at the Emirates Stadium!

So from the beginning of the game, Crystal Palace used its height advantage in the frontcourt to frequently put pressure on Arsenal's penalty area. Wenger also expected this at the beginning, so he sent four defenders and two midfielders to strengthen the midfield defense in this game.

Sun Xiang continued to serve as an offensive guide in the front midfielder.

At the beginning, facing the intensive attack from Crystal Palace, Arsenal was in a mess. However, the powerful are still powerful. The players' psychological qualities quickly adjusted to the average level, and the situation slowly fell back to Arsenal.

The four central defenders lined up in the back defense. Even if Benteke could get a little, he could not continue to handle the subsequent actions, so he could only use the fulcrum to pass the ball back.

After a while, the fans of Crystal Palace, which has no way to disrupt Arsenal's defensive system, have begun to be confused. Could it be that their team is so hard but cannot beat Arsenal who is playing on the bench?

Does the saying "Ying Wu Weak" really exist?

"Arsenal's defense is great now. They can always resolve dangers when necessary. It's really good for the substitute army to do this." Martin Taylor continued to serve as the commentator of this game. Next to him was Alan Smith, who was dressed in Arsenal outfit. He started working in Arsenal clothes as promised.

"It can be imagined that if it weren't for the Champions League, they would have probably scored in the first ten minutes. In any case, this game still looks very exciting now."

As Alan Smith said, the two sides have been fighting many offensive battles in less than 20 minutes. This has also made many neutral fans excited.

And every time the ball passes by Sun Xiang's feet, it always seems like magic is being applied. The weird arc can always easily tear the defense line of Crystal Palace. If the forward is one of Giroud or Lacazette, the Gunners are really likely to score in the first ten minutes.

After repeated attempts to bomb the opponent's goal, Gunners fans can't help but worry whether their team will be punished for missing opportunities. After all, in this case, the mentality of the players will be hit and emotional fluctuations are inevitable.

In the 32nd minute, Zaha was knocked down by Cazorla on the left side of Arsenal's penalty area and gave the opponent a set piece similar to a corner kick.

There is Benteke on the court in Crystal Palace, and his powerful header has always been a major problem that has plagued the British defender.

There is a lot of land in the penalty area, and both sides have many movements, but they are also within the control of the referee.

Sun Xiang also participated in the set piece defense. 185's figure looks a little petite in the penalty area, but his outstanding bounce can still make up for this shortcomings.

The referee whistle sounded and Zaha set ball was taken!

The competition between the two teams in the penalty area was even more intense, and the strength in their hands was increased a little.

Not only the defensive players, but also the offensive players try their best to get out of defense.

A white football like a meteor was thrown into the penalty area in an arc, but no one knew who would touch the ball.

There was a commotion, and the red jersey and the white jersey were entangled.

After the overreaction time difference, people only saw the net behind Ospina start to shake...

The ball went in? What did you give birth?

The Crystal Palace fans at the scene looked at each other, and still wrote on their faces in a daze. If the referee had not signaled that the goal was valid in the end, they would have thought it was just an illusion.

Did Crystal Palace, which was passive in the second half, actually scored?

This is unscientific, they didn't see how the ball got in.

Even the Arsenal fans behind the goal didn't see this clearly.

In the midst of lightning, all this happened too quickly. The only thing that made them recognize the reality was the red score on the big screen.

o:1! Arsenal is behind at home.

The Crystal Palace players celebrated excitedly, but the camera never aimed at someone who might be the goal player.

"How did this ball come about? Alan, have you seen it clearly?" Martin Taylor asked his colleague beside him, and his colleague was frowning. Obviously he didn't know the answer to this question.

"It seems that we'd better leave it to the camera to play back." As soon as he finished speaking, the live director presented the process of scoring the goal just now.

The result was beyond everyone's expectations. Arsenal's own player pushed the ball into the goal. However, since the angle was not perfect, it was impossible to accurately see who scored it.

The director then changed the camera and turned into the following camera behind the goal, so the truth was clear at a glance.

When Benteke of Crystal Palace was scrambling to head, his position was stuck. In desperation, he pushed the defender in front of him. This also made the latter lose the center of gravity. In addition, the ball passed through irregular line changes and hit him on the top of his head, and flew straight into the gate.

"Is this sun? God, he messed up!" After seeing the Oolong player clearly, Martin Taylor leaned back in his seat and sighed.

"The movements on Benteke's hands were still very obvious. Obviously Sun didn't realize this. He was too unlucky today..."

When the crowd dispersed, the fans saw Sun Xiang. He covered his face and knelt in front of the goal line.

He never expected that his league ball would come so miserable. He was still concentrating on defense in the last second, but the next second he felt the center of gravity suddenly disappear, and then a pain came from the right side of his head.

He knew it was the feeling of the ball hitting it. He also knew the trajectory of the ball after hitting him.

At such a close distance, unless the goddess of luck comes down to earth, no one can stop his "goal".

Obviously, this long-awaited league show has been a disaster for me so far.
Chapter completed!
