Football: Starting with the Crescent Moon Slash

Chapter 122 Blitzkrieg!

The pre-match interviews quickly appeared online.

Netizens are discussing whether he can adapt to the physicality of the Premier League.

Jiang Yan's statement is too arrogant! Wouldn't it be incredibly embarrassing if he were proven wrong after the match?

Is there any doubt about Jiang Shen's physical strength? He's done this more than once or twice in La Liga, taking shots while holding off defenders!

[Upstairs, don't be so hasty. La Liga and the Premier League are completely different levels! La Liga values ​​players' technical skills more, while in the Premier League, you not only need technical skills, but you also need to be able to handle physical contact! A midfielder who can't handle physical contact can't survive in the Premier League!]

I think so too. Jiang Yan will probably have a hard time adapting to the physicality of the Premier League. If he can't get past this hurdle, he'll just fade into obscurity in the future!

Haha, young people shouldn't act impulsively. Wouldn't it be better to stay in your comfort zone? Why come to the Premier League and suffer for nothing!

The core question for fans is whether Yi Jiangyan can adapt to the physical intensity of the Premier League!

Online discussions about whether Jiang Yan can adapt to the Premier League continue, even though the match is about to begin.

Even before the match began, the Emirates Stadium was already packed with cheers; Arsenal's die-hard fans certainly wouldn't miss the new season.

Liverpool fans naturally wouldn't miss their new signing Jiang Yan's first Premier League match.

After all, this is a new signing who cost over 100 million, even surpassing Manchester United's 1.05 million for Pogba. They want to see if this 100 million was worth it!

CCTV will not let this match go either, after all, it paid a lot of money to buy the broadcasting rights.

[New fan, first time watching a Premier League match, what should I be aware of?]

[Have quick-acting heart medication on hand.]

Back in the stands, Sky Sports deployed a commentary team to provide commentary for Premier League fans worldwide.

"The starting lineups for both sides are as follows. I believe most fans are here for that amazing Asian kid. Carragher, what do you think?"

Carragher humbly said, "Jiang is still a newcomer to the Premier League; he needs time to adapt, but I believe in his future."

"It's his." As he said this, Carragher's lips unconsciously curled up into a smile.

Henry, on the other side, also shared his opinion: "I've watched Jiang Yan's games, and he was amazing. But the Premier League isn't La Liga. The tactics he used in La Liga might not work in the Premier League. Liverpool fans shouldn't be too happy yet; victory belongs to Arsenal!"

After listening to the heated exchange between the two, the live chat exploded with comments.

Sky Sports is always up to something, bringing in legends from both teams to commentate on the game!

Believe it or not, the FA really values ​​this match; they even managed to get Martin Tyler to commentate on it!

When does the competition start?! I can't wait!!

Beep!

With the referee's whistle blowing.

The first round of the 2016/17 Premier League season, Liverpool vs. Arsenal, has officially begun!

At the Emirates Stadium, the fans erupted in cheers, with Liverpool fans in red jerseys and Arsenal fans in red and white jerseys chanting for their respective teams.

Shouts and cheers mingled together, completely igniting the curtain on this new Premier League season.

Liverpool kicked off first, with Firmino gently passing the ball to Jiang Yan.

After Jiang Yan received the ball, Liverpool fans in the stadium chanted his name.

Jiang Yan's performance in the International Champions Cup was impressive enough that fans were willing to believe in him.

However, some fans still have doubts about whether Jiang Yan can adapt to the Premier League.

After Liverpool kicked off, Arsenal's players immediately ran towards Liverpool's penalty area.

Giroud ran straight toward Jiang Yan, and Wilshire behind him also ran toward Jiang Yan.

Just when the fans thought Jiang Yan was about to show off his skills and get past the two players...

But he did something that shocked everyone.

Faced with pressure from Giroud and Wilshere, Jiang Yan actually turned and dribbled the ball back into the field!

Seeing this from the stands, Henry couldn't help but say, "Is Jiang Yan scared? As the team's attacking linchpin, he actually chose to turn and run away when facing two opponents? What can we expect from a player like that?!"

Before Henry could finish speaking, Jiang Yan's next action completely silenced him.

Jiang Yan dribbled the ball with his back to goal for a couple of steps, then suddenly turned around and delivered a long pass that bypassed Arsenal's midfield and attacking third.

"Jiang Yan passed the ball!! A long pass!"

Jiang Yan's long pass found Mane in the attacking third with great precision.

Mane has been running towards Arsenal's penalty area since the start of the match, which was part of Klopp's pre-match tactic.

The ball plummeted rapidly in front of Mane.

"Jiang Yan delivered a dipping cross!"

Meanwhile, Koscielny and Holding hadn't reacted yet, and faced with Mane suddenly receiving the ball, the two failed to tighten their defense in time.

Finding an opening in front of the goal, Mane raised his foot and shot!

"Mane takes a long-range shot!"

Goal!

"Blitzkrieg!!"

"Jiang Yan and Mane link up! Liverpool strikes down Arsenal in the first minute!!"
