Chapter 347 The rejuvenated Chelsea!

"This is a magical goal that can be recorded in the history of the Premier League. Chu is good at creating miracles. He scored an unbelievable goal in the game against Sunderland. Super Chu's efficiency is still terrifying. He Bring the phenomenal state of Leicester City to Manchester City! - The Times

"Chu is omnipotent on the court, Guardiola made timely adjustments to give Manchester City their first win of the season! "

"Manchester City 3-1 Sunderland, Chu has one goal and two assists, the super midfielder has entered the league state, maybe Chu can break his record of 30 league assists in a single season this season! "

After the game, Manchester City, which got off to a good start, was widely reported by the European media.

Especially the shocking barb scored by Chu Zheng, it spread wildly on the Internet before the game was over, and the show turned fans all over the world.

And Guardiola's tactics of receiving the position of the midfielder inside the full-back have also attracted the attention of other European clubs and some football celebrities.

In addition, the three opening games followed by Manchester City and Sunderland have also attracted the attention of the media and fans.

Arsenal vs Liverpool

Bournemouth v Manchester United
Chelsea v West Ham United
Arsenal's Arsene Wenger, like Mourinho, learned that there was no hope of signing Chu Zheng. After returning to England from China, he quickly signed the midfielder in his signing plan for 3500 million euros.

Swiss midfielder, Granit Xhaka.

This player is also a hot young and talented midfielder in today's football.

Granit Xhaka is 1.8 meters five and weighs [-] kilograms. He has a strong presence in the midfield.

From his performances in Borussia Monchengladbach and the Swiss national team, it is not difficult for him to cover the wide area between the two penalty areas.

But Granit Xhaka's most remarkable aspect is his unusually solid fundamentals.

In addition to the impeccable on-ball skills of stopping, controlling, and passing, Xhaka's use of off-ball skills such as collusion, interspersed and filling positions is also pleasing to the scouts who inspect him.

But the player's shortcomings are also obvious.

That is, Xhaka's body is slightly stiff, and the frequency of his feet is not fast enough, making it difficult for the Swiss midfielder to defeat his opponent in a one-on-one situation.

Once encountering a situation of close marking or partial pressing, with Xhaka's ability to advance and break through, it is easy for him to fall into a predicament.

In the game between Arsenal and Liverpool, Xhaka's performance also disappointed the Gunners fans.

In the fast-paced Premier League, Xhaka fell into the siege of Liverpool and couldn't extricate himself, completely lost his way.

This made the Gunners fans subconsciously compare Xhaka and Chu Zheng.

But people are more than people, so mad!

After the end of last season, Gunners fans were extremely excited when they learned that Wenger was going to sign Chu Zheng.

The two games against Leicester City last season made Gunners fans fully realize how powerful and terrifying Chu Zheng is, that is, an omnipotent super midfielder.

They were happy for a long time when they learned that the team was going to introduce Chu Zheng.

However, Chu Zheng finally chose Manchester City, which made the Gunners fans extremely disappointed.

In the match against Liverpool, Arsenal, who played at home, played quite well in the first half, leading 1-0 for a full 45 minutes.

It's a pity that during stoppage time in the first half, Coutinho's cloud-piercing arrow not only penetrated the Gunners' gate guarded by Petr Cech, but also seemed to hit Arsenal's Achilles' heel.

The situation changed drastically in the second half. Arsenal were stunned by Liverpool. In the end, they lost 3-4 at home to Liverpool and lost the opening game of the new season.

Behind the reason for Arsenal's fiasco, there are actually some reasons why Xhaka's midfielder did not perform well.

In the other two games, Manchester United in the away game and Chelsea in the main game defeated their opponents by 3-1 and 2-1 respectively.

In the new season, Manchester United under the coach of the madman has successively introduced Bailey, Mkhitaryan, Ibrahimovic and other strong players.

Manchester United's strength on paper is definitely among the best in continental Europe. Coupled with Mourinho, a world-renowned coach and a hearty victory in the season opener, Red Devils fans are looking forward to seeing the rise of a new red dynasty.

And the same new aid, Manchester United's Pogba performed very well in the game against Bournemouth, able to attack and defend well, fully supporting Mourinho's tactics.

Pogba's answer sheet after the game was an assist.

Although he didn't score a goal and is a little inferior compared to Chu Zheng, the vitality Pogba brought to Manchester United's midfield is obvious to all, and the Red Devils fans are delighted.

Pogba used his strong offensive organization and passing ability to directly revitalize Manchester United's luxurious frontcourt attack group. This is an indisputable fact in the game against Bournemouth.

After the game, Manchester United fans continued to praise Mourinho for his good vision. Some fans even said that Mourinho might have found a super midfielder comparable to Chu Zheng.

Before the season, Manchester United fans were as disappointed as Gunners fans that Mourinho did not grab Chu Zheng.

But looking at it now, Pogba's second choice seems to be very good.

Among all the matches in the first round, if you want to say that the most unexpected match is the match between Chelsea and the Hammers.

West Ham United failed to compete for a ticket to the European War last season.

由于第38轮他们客场1-2不敌斯托克城，而南安普顿则4-1大胜水晶宫的缘故，所以他们只得屈居联赛第7。

But the ranking does not actually reflect the true strength of the Hammers.

The strength of West Ham United last season continued into this season.

In the London derby against Chelsea, although West Ham United played away, the Hammers played very well, and they were inseparable from the Blues led by Conte.

Chelsea did not score the winning goal until the 90th minute of regular time, and finally won the Hammers 2-1 with difficulty.

But the most surprising thing is not the strength of West Ham United.

It is the new look that Chelsea has shown in the new season.

The lineup is still those people, but Chelsea gives people a feeling that they have regained the iron blood of the year.

Whether it is Oscar or the still stable Azpilicueta and William, this group of people feels that Chelsea fans have finally woken up.

After the game, the media also frantically praised Conte, an old Italian driver, not only for his ability to control the locker room, but also for his tactics.

And Chelsea's biggest signing in the summer window this year, Kanter's performance has also attracted the attention of the media and fans.

After buying Kanter, Chelsea fans were afraid that Kanter was a system player, and worried that Kanter would lose his magic power when he came to a new tactical system.

But this game proved that they thought too much.

Kanter is still the super midfielder who can cover 70% of the earth's land area. He is still magical, and the magical power shown in Leicester City is still there.

Not only that, Kanter's arrival also made Chelsea's waist quite hard.

With the help of Kanter, Matic finally remembered his forgotten interception skills, and also liberated Matic, Oscar, Fabregas and others, allowing them to devote themselves to the frontcourt attack with more confidence.

And because of the protection of Kanter, Azpilicueta and Ivan on the wing can also press the attack or provide support to the winger with more confidence.

In short, Kanter's performance is as dazzling as he was in Leicester City.

In early June, Chelsea fans were very happy to learn that Abramovich intends to bring Chu Zheng, who was trained by his own youth training, back to Stamford Bridge.

But within a few days, they learned that the club had been passed during the player's personal contact.

At that time, some fans were very angry, and some fans even went to Chu Zheng's ins to scold.

But this still couldn't change the fact that even if they had money, they couldn't buy Chu Zheng.

The increase in value from 80 euros to [-] million pounds in just two years has made Chelsea people bleed.

But to miss is to miss.

But now, they have collectively forgotten about Chu Zheng, and feel that the team is still very lucky.

Although they didn't get Chu Zheng's monster midfielder, but they got Kanter's super midfielder, they were already winners.

At the same time, I am very fortunate that Conte is not as persistent as Mourinho and Wenger.

Mourinho is okay, bought a Pogba.

But Wenger was upset and bought Xhaka.

They watched the Arsenal game, and they all saw Xhaka's performance, so they deeply sympathized with Wenger's experience.

After the end of the first round of the Premier League, the European media came to a unanimous point of view.

That is, the Premier League giants, which were collectively sluggish last season, have recovered collectively.

Perhaps this season's Premier League championship situation will be unprecedentedly fierce.
