The poorest Premier League star, the whole network begs for money

Does Fang Cheng not want the Golden Globe?

Not really. It would be hypocritical to say that he doesn't want the Ballon d'Or.

At least compared with some extremely ambitious stars, Fang Cheng seems to be indifferent to fame and fortune.

He felt there was no need to become desperate for the sake of personal honor.

Those who are able to make the Ballon d'Or candidate list are no longer ordinary players. They have the honors and influence they deserve. So everyone on that list is a winner in life.

Therefore, Fang Cheng believes that there is no need to affect his playing state because of this result.

Their most important task now is to enjoy the football game with their teammates.

As professional players, their careers are not that long, so instead of worrying about what honors they can win, they should think more about how to play well.

Time flies. On August 8, Arsenal faced West Ham United at home.

West Ham United has been a veteran team in the Premier League for five years.
The new season must have a new look.
So once the game started, they took the initiative.

Arsenal failed to snatch the ball.
The defense is ready for now.

Now with huge amounts of money being invested in the Premier League, the gap in strength between teams is not that big anymore.

So everyone on the court is ready to attack and defend each other.

West Ham United launched an attack on the right.

Ward-Prowse sent in a cross.

This cross pass accurately found the teammate in the penalty area.

Antonio rushed quickly to the dangerous area in front of the goal.

Then he jumped up from the crowd.

He suddenly shook his head.

Use all your strength to push the ball into the dead corner of the goal.
But it was because of excessive force.

The football flew over the crossbar and out of the field.

Suddenly, applause broke out from the sidelines.

The Arsenal head coach and the West Ham head coach both clapped their hands.

Arsenal coach Arteta clapped his hands and loudly reminded the players on the field.

Let everyone improve their attention.

This is their first game of the new season.

Losing might affect the team's momentum, so this game is very important.

The West Ham United coach is encouraging the players on the field to continue attacking Arsenal like this.

Arsenal quickly accelerated the tempo of the game, after all, they were at home. Although the strength gap between the teams was not that great, if they could not hold the ball at home, then there was something wrong with their attitude towards the game.

After seeing that Arsenal's passing of the ball had increased, West Ham United decided to quit while they were ahead and immediately deployed a bus defense.

None of the players crossed the half court, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

Saka felt the situation was difficult when he saw the opponent's bus.

There is no chance to cross from the wing.

Two people were staring at him.
As a result, he had to look for opportunities inside whenever he got the ball.

However, the opponent's defense in front of the penalty area is still very tight.
After not seeing the ball route.

Saka gritted his teeth and chose to take a long shot.

With a very quick movement, he raised his right foot.

Shoot out with great force.

The football flew towards the goal in a perfect arc.

It almost flew into the goal.
The West Ham United goalkeeper almost broke out in a cold sweat.

The Arsenal fans at the scene immediately applauded for this offensive line.

Although the team does not have any important players yet, they still have many championship players.

For example, Saka and Ben White just won the European Cup this year, so they feel that the team still has the potential to succeed this year. Although the ball came to West Ham United,
But Arsenal's formation did not retreat.

A counter-attack was launched on the spot, making it very difficult for West Ham United to pass the ball out of the backcourt.

After stealing the ball, Smith Rowe found the equation for the pass.

There was a switch of positions between Fang Cheng and his teammates.

He galloped along the side road,

Seeing two opponents come to defend him,
Fang Cheng did not hesitate at all.

Using flexible ball control skills, he quickly squeezed in between the two opposing defenders.

As he approached the penalty area,

The audience immediately became excited.

Fang Cheng was almost about to dribble the ball into the small penalty area, and West Ham United's penalty area defense became a mess.
At this very critical moment, Fang Cheng chose to spike the ball himself.

He swung his right foot suddenly.

The football flew to the lower right corner of the goal in an instant.

But the opponent's goalkeeper also fought hard at this time.
He directly performed a split movement.

The goalkeeper felt as if his ligaments were about to break at this moment.
But fortunately he tried his best to block the football with his foot.

This crucial block saved their goal.

However, the ball had not been cleared out of the penalty area, which scared the West Ham United defenders and they hurried to clear the ball.

So Fang Cheng was the only one who saw the goalkeeper falling inside the goal as if he was injured.

So he hurried over to ask about the goalkeeper's situation.

Only after hearing the opponent's goalkeeper say that there was no problem did Fang Cheng reach out and pull the opponent up.

This friendly scene was captured by the live camera outside the venue.

Many neutral fans feel that a player who plays cleanly and is friendly to his opponents should win the Golden Ball.

If even such an outstanding player cannot win the Golden Ball, the value of this award will be seriously affected.

So under the leadership of the captain, Arsenal relied on clean and neat ball control to suppress their opponents without any temper.

Everyone was actively running around, and some were standing still.

With a clean three-on-two pass, Arsenal sent the ball to Nketiah in the penalty area.

Nketiah almost fell to the ground under the opponent's confrontation, but fortunately, he kicked a push shot before falling.

The West Ham United goalkeeper reacted quickly and the ball hit the goal post with a thud.
The football bounced out.

The offensive is not over yet.

Instead, it landed at the feet of Arsenal's Smith Rowe in a clever arc.

This is a great opportunity for a follow-up shot.

He aimed at the goal and kicked the ball towards it.

However, it took some time for the football to fall to Nketiah's feet, and the West Ham United players relied on this short period of time to stand in front of the goal.

Finally he kicked Smith Rowe's shot away.

The score is still 0:0.

However, only half an hour into the first half, Arsenal's attack had already left their defense in tatters.

This made the West Ham United coach on the sidelines frown.

But two minutes later,

West Ham United stumbled onto a chance to counterattack.

To be on the safe side, Ben White chose to foul near the midfield and pulled Antonio down.

West Ham United gets a valuable set-piece opportunity. (End of this chapter)
