Chapter 181 The King of Waves and the Emperor of Manufacturing
"Welcome to watch the third round of England's 131st FA Cup."
"We came to the Emirates Stadium in North London to watch the clash between Arsenal and Leeds United."
"Henry has officially become a member of Arsenal on a two-month loan period and was placed on the bench by Wenger today."
Looking at Henry's silhouette in the players' tunnel on the screen, Zhan Jun in front of the screen was also refreshed.
Like Henry, he had just returned to China and found a job as a commentator in Jiulang.
Unlike Henry, the great emperor only stayed at Arsenal for two months, and Zhan Jun never plans to return to Southeast Asia to commentate in his life.
On this night, the atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium was warm and warm.
During pre-match training, Henry's simple running and touching the ball caused a stir at the Emirates Stadium many times.
"Arsenal is currently ranked third in the Premier League and Leeds United is ranked eighth in the Championship."
"Arsenal has won the FA Cup 10 times in history, only once less than Manchester United."
"And Leeds United were also the winners of the FA Cup in 1972."
"In this case, this game is very important."
"Last season, Arsenal met Leeds United in the third round."
"The two teams tied 1-1 that time. In the rematch, Arsenal eliminated their opponent with a score of 3-1."
At this time, the players from both sides have already lined up into the stadium and stood in a row in front of the main stand, facing the audience.
Returning to this stadium, Henry on the bench stared wide-eyed, looking at everything that had changed and remained unchanged around him.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is his second "hometown".
For gun fans, Highbury and Chiefs have just changed places, but Henry is still the same Henry, their eternal emperor.
"Arsenal's main center today is Morocco international Chamakh. He will return to the national team after playing in the FA Cup."
"Behind him are Arshavin and teenager Chamberlain."
"The three players in the midfield include Ramsey, Lei Yu and Arteta. Today Arteta is the captain on the field."
"On the back line, the center back combination is Mertesacker and Koscielny, the right back is French teenager Coquelin, and the left back is Spanish teenager Miquel."
"The goalkeeper is still Szczesny."
Coquelin in 1991, Miquel and Lei Yu in 1992, Chamberlain in 1993...
Some fans joked before the game that maybe it was to balance the age of the 34-year-old veteran Henry that he was born in the 1990s.
If Ryo Miyaichi on the bench has another chance to play, perhaps Leeds United will transfer the title of "Young Guard" to Arsenal.
"Okay, now the game starts, commentator Zhan Jun will give you live commentary."
"Arsenal faces Leeds United in the third round at home for the second consecutive year."
"Arsenal took the lead and the ball came to Lei Yu's feet."
In the camera lens, Lei Yu's figure flashed past.
After receiving the ball, he turned back and glanced at his opponent, and immediately distributed the ball to the right wing where there was a greater chance.
"After half a season, Lei Yu has become Arsenal's unbreakable main midfielder."
"Currently he has scored 15 league goals and 3 Champions League goals for Arsenal, second only to Robin van Persie, the team's top scorer."
"But Lei Yu still has 7 league assists. With these 7 goals, Lei Yu has already created more goals for Arsenal than Van Persie."
"Before the game started, many fans were speculating whether Lei Yu would take advantage of Van Persie's injury to surpass his teammates in the scorer list."
"Currently in the Premier League scorer list, both of them are tied for the top spot with 15 goals."
"But Lei Yu has not scored or assisted in three consecutive league games. Fans think this is because there is no striker like Van Persie ahead of him to fight for better openings for him."
"In today's FA Cup, I hope Lei Yu breaks his goal drought."
In the Jiulang live broadcast room, the words "Come on Lei Yu" have already filled the screen.
As the commentator for the first game signed by a new company, Zhan Jun is very good at pleasing fans and knows what they like to hear.
But on the pitch, Leeds United's performance made the Gunners suffer.
The FA Cup has a history of 130 years, and its importance is not comparable to the "Mickey Mouse Cup" such as the League Cup.
For some English Championship teams, the FA Cup has always been their goal.
Championship is one thing. Being able to play against strong teams in the Premier League and become famous through the other party's broadcast volume is also one of the ways for these low-level league teams and players to become famous.
Being able to defeat Arsenal, who are ranked third in the Premier League, is definitely a huge publicity for Leeds United.
Even at the Emirates Stadium, Leeds United did not give in during the confrontation.
Lei Yu in the midfield tried his best to deliver the ball to the frontcourt, but neither Chamak nor Arshavin were in good condition today.
Chamakh, who serves as Arsenal's single arrow, used the opportunity to delay his return to China to play in the African Cup of Nations in exchange for a start.
But he has been unable to find shooting opportunities, and can only do some connection and series work - these have been done by Lei Yu before.
In the 4th minute, Chamakh played for Asavin, but unfortunately the latter's shot in the arc of the penalty area missed;
In the 18th minute, Chamakh set up the ball for Ramsey again, but the latter's left-footed shot from 20 yards out from the front of the penalty area went high.
Four minutes later, the "Manufacturing Emperor" once again helped his teammates. At that time, Asavin made a pass from the right side of the penalty area. Chamark responded immediately. Lei Yu's shot was blocked by the Leeds goalkeeper.
Center forward Chamakh spent most of the time playing soy sauce, while left winger Tsarevich was too involved in the game. He regarded himself as a center forward, but unfortunately the effect was not good.
Everyone knows that the Czar is eager to score goals, but the Czar is no longer the same as before and has long forgotten about his shooting boots.
Less than 1 minute into the game, Tsar received a pass from Lei Yu from the street and hit the goal from the left side of the penalty area but was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper;
One minute later, Czar tried his hand in front of the penalty area again, and the ball slipped past the goal.
In the 7th minute, Arshavin once again received a pass from Lei Yu and appeared in the opponent's hinterland. His shot missed the upper right corner.
At this time, the live TV camera moved to Arsenal's bench, capturing Henry pointing at the green field and imparting experience to his "successor" Walcott.
One of Chamakh and Ashavin was far away from the shot, while the other could not score any shot, and both were in a very sluggish state.
Throughout the first half of the game, Arsenal was far ahead of Leeds United in the number of shots, 9 to 2, but the Gunners did not have a single shot on the goal frame. The two forwards were simply unable to convert the advantage on the scene into a victory in the score.
On the other side, Chamberlain was completely ignored and became an "invisible person" in front of his predecessors who "shoot indiscriminately" and "not shoot".
What is most distressing for Gunners fans is that in the 33rd minute of the game, young player Coquelin, who was playing as a right back, was substituted due to injury.
OK!
This time, let alone the main force, even the substitutes were injured!
Arsenal continued their "border defense misery" into the FA Cup.
"Nicolas Yannaris, who came on for Coquelin, is also an 18-year-old. In 2010, he served as captain of the Arsenal youth team and led the Arsenal U18 youth team to win the U18 Youth Super League championship."
Regarding this 18-year-old youngster, Zhan Jun gave a detailed explanation.
This is the first game he has commented on since returning to China, and he has done a very solid job in preparing information before the game.
But even if he found out the details of all 14 substitutes on both sides, he never expected that many years later, the former captain of the Gunners youth team would change his name to Li Ke.
