The new season has been a big change.

There are some small changes in Arsenal's lineup this season compared to last season.

First of all, on the striker line, the 35-year-old "Ice Prince" Bergkamp is already in semi-retirement, and the partner of the main center forward Henry has been replaced by Van Persie who joined last year. This new striker combination has scored 9 of Arsenal's 16 goals in the first 12 league rounds. In Wenger's view, they have developed some tacit understanding. And Adebayor, who was bought from Leeds United in the summer, also performed well, and scored 3 goals in limited playing time.

In the midfield, the 18-year-old superstar Fabregas also began to emerge and gradually became the team's midfield core. In the defensive midfielder position, Gilberto Silva replaced the old captain, Vieira, who left the team in the summer.

Although Arsenal's current performance in the league is not very good and has been criticized by some fans and the media, Li Shiguang has never believed in these rhythms.

Compared with the media saying that Wenger's brainless use of inexperienced young people led to Arsenal's poor performance, Li Shiguang is more willing to believe in his own judgment. Starting from Monday, he will watch two Arsenal game videos every day after dinner. In these videos, he really has some guesses.

Although the topic of this game is not as hot as the last round of Manchester United vs. Chelsea, at least in England, the attention is still very high.

In the football section forum of The Times, an article titled "Wenger VS Li Shiguang, who is the best coach in England to discover young players? 》 triggered a wide discussion, and fans of both teams left comments and fought each other under this post.

"I think there is no need to discuss this issue at all. Look at Arsenal's current lineup. Adebayor, Fabregas, Van Persie, Hleb, Senderos and even Henry, all these young people have grown to their current level under Wenger's leadership?"

"Uh... brother above, don't worry. I recognize Fabregas and Van Persie, but what the hell is Adebayor??? Isn't it Li Shiguang who kicked him out???"

"The first floor is almost making me laugh to death. If you don't know much about football, don't force your comments!"

"I have a different opinion from the first floor. I think before Li Shiguang appeared, Wenger was good at discovering young people. He is indeed the strongest coach in the Premier League, but the appearance of Li Shiguang has given me a new perspective. You can look at the lineup of Leeds United again. Their average age is only 22.4 years old. The oldest Deisler is only 25 years old, and the youngest Bale is even just 16 years old. If we only compare from the aspect of discovering young players, I think Li Shiguang is better than Wenger! "

"The above, you can't say that. These young players under Wenger are not just young. Look at their performance in the Champions League. Isn't this several levels higher than Leeds United? "

"I have said that, only from the aspect of discovering young players, and then , Leeds United can't play in the Champions League this season? You are being unreasonable. "

"If we start from the perspective of the players' strength, I have a different opinion from everyone else. I counted that Li Shiguang has sold a total of 6 players since he took over Leeds United. Among these 6 players, 5 are in a weird situation now. Howard and Tevez are now completely on the bench. Sneijder is basically a rotation substitute because he is incompatible with Real Madrid's tactical system. McLean and Caldwell are also at a disadvantage in the competition for the main players of their respective teams. The only one who can be regarded as performing well is Adebayor... Friends Friends, have you ever thought about this? These players are all the main players in Leeds United. Why do they all fall apart after leaving Leeds United? It's really scary to think about it! "

After this short essay-like comment was posted, it was quickly pushed to the top of the replies, and it also distorted the original meaning of this post. Various conspiracy theories emerged one after another. Some fans even ignored the urine test after each game and asked the English Football Association to immediately organize people to conduct another urine test on the entire Leeds United team. As more and more fans reposted this post, even Li Shiguang, who likes surfing the Internet, heard about it later. After seeing the post, he naturally knew why, because he had a system, and they were in my

When they were his subordinates, they were at the peak of their careers.

At the pre-match press conference, a reporter raised this question.

After hearing this question, Li Shiguang, who was sitting on the podium, responded with a sullen and pointed face: "People who can raise such questions have problems with their own thinking. I will only respond once. If a player played well before, but did not perform well after leaving, please find the reasons in your own team or coaches, instead of questioning the player's former club. The transfer of players is not the sale of goods. Do I need to provide three guarantees when I sell a player? Do I have to refund and return the goods if the quality is not good, just like buying things normally?"

After getting the response, the reporter who just raised the question sat down angrily. He also felt that what Li Shiguang said was reasonable. The question was indeed outrageous. He just asked it in a fit of anger. He did not expect to make Li Shiguang unhappy.

Seeing that Li Shiguang was confronting directly, the other reporters present did not dwell on this issue, but directed the topic to the upcoming game.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am your old friend Ere Geddy. Let us welcome the two teams with the warmest cheers!!!!"

Then, accompanied by the cheers of the whole audience, the two teams entered the Elland Road Stadium under the leadership of the referee.

On the other side of the earth, the China Sports Channel also chose this game for television and online broadcast in this round of Premier League matches.

On the screen, Su Tao, who is familiar to Chinese fans, is introducing the starting lineups of both teams: "Good evening, audience friends. Today, the Premier League focus match between Leeds United and Arsenal will be live-commented by me and coach Wang Lu. Here is the starting lineup of the home team Leeds United today."

"Today, Leeds United lined up their frequently used 4-2-3-1 formation. The single striker is still Falcao, who is in hot form this season. The attacking midfielder is Deisler. Because the main left midfielder Bale has not recovered from injury, Li Shiguang arranged Ribery in the left midfielder position in this game. The captain Milner played as a guest on the right midfielder. One of the double midfielders is our familiar Modric. Richie, but Yaya Toure, who has been starting in recent games, was replaced by Mascherano. There is no change in the defense line. From left to right, it is Lahm, Chiellini, Kompany and Maicon, and the goalkeeper is still Schmeichel. "

"As for Arsenal, the lineup has not changed from the last game. Wenger still arranged a 4-4-2 formation. Henry and Van Persie partnered up in the front line. The four midfielders were Fabregas, Ljungberg, Pires and Gilberto Silva. In the defense line, the two full-backs were Ashley Cole and Eboue, the central defender combination was Toure and the young player Senderos, and the goalkeeper was the veteran Lehmann. "

After introducing the lineups of both sides.

Su Tao turned to Wang Lu and asked the first question of the day.
