The opening match of the first round of the Premier League took place on August 12.

Arsenal vs Leicester City

When Lu Xiao saw the schedule, he hadn't reacted yet, but Xhaka next to him laughed.

"Lu, you're going to take your revenge."

"We were eliminated by them in the Champions League last time, this time we can finally teach them a lesson."

"That's right, let's avenge Lu together!"

I spent more than a month with the Arsenal players.

Lu Xiao has already become one of them.

Compared to his time at Bayer Leverkusen and Atletico Madrid,

Arsenal felt more like a return to the youth team or high school to Lu Xiao.

We're all a bunch of lively, silly lads who can be carefree and easily amused by a silly joke.

Giroud, Xhaka, Sanchez, and others livened up the atmosphere.

It's hard for the locker room to really cool down.

Logically, a locker room conflict should have broken out at this point in time.

Sanchez's attitude within the team has become increasingly worse due to poor performance in recent years.

Other players were also envious of Sanchez and Özil's high salaries.

The atmosphere within the team was quite tense at one point.

The situation only improved after Sanchez left in the winter transfer window and Mkhitaryan came in as a replacement.

Lu Xiao had thought that coming to Arsenal would mean experiencing the "Sanchez crisis" and getting involved in the chaos in the Arsenal dressing room.

The situation turned out to be much better than he had imagined.

Sanchez is not flustered at all, just as active as he was in 2015.

Everyone also showed great unity.

Lu Xiao once thought that it was just a facade of unity.

It wasn't until he discussed the issues with Mendes and Wenger that Lu Xiao understood the problems within Arsenal's dressing room.

Wenger was very sincere and didn't hide anything.

"Yes, Lu, your concerns are valid. Before you came, I was very worried about the atmosphere within the team under Sanchez."

Starting in 2016, Sanchez began to act arrogantly, and conflicts arose in his relationship with his teammates.

Wenger almost wanted to trade him away.

They were afraid that Sanchez and Lu Xiao would also start a fight.

After everyone had been living together for more than a month,

Wenger was finally completely relieved.

"Because you broke the original balance and established a new order."

Sanchez's reason for his outburst is simple.

He was dissatisfied with Arsenal's lack of big-name investment over the years and the team's performance, so he decided to tank.

Others disapproved of Sanchez's attitude and his high salary without any work.

Now that Lu Xiao has arrived, the problem has been completely solved.

Lu Xiao gave Sanchez hope of winning the championship, so naturally he wouldn't cause trouble.

No one else objected to Lu Xiao's weekly salary of 40.

A Ballon d'Or winner, on par with Messi and Ronaldo, a godlike figure who single-handedly scored four goals in the Champions League final!

Let alone a weekly salary of 40,

Most Arsenal players felt that no amount of money was a problem, as long as Lu Xiao could lead them to a championship.

Therefore, the locker room was in perfect harmony, which surprised Wenger.

"The next match is a Premier League group stage game against Leicester City. Is there a problem?"

Wenger is very worried about Lu Xiao's condition.

They signed Lu Xiao for a total price of 1.8 million euros, plus 7000 million euros in performance-related bonuses.

Lu Xiao's every move was being monitored by England's "Fleet Street" police.

If Lu Xiao's performance is in any way subpar...

The media will definitely launch a scathing attack, vilifying Lu Xiao from beginning to end.

How can a Chinese person show off his English skills in such a respectable way?

The implicit discrimination is deeply ingrained and it is difficult to change the old-fashioned ideas of the proud English.

Unless Lu Xiao personally plays each match,

We completely defeated them and made them submit.

In addition, he failed to score a single goal at Atletico Madrid last year, faced being abandoned by the club, and had to adapt to a new environment after the transfer...

It's easy to imagine what it would be like for a 20-year-old boy.

The pressure must be immense!

If Lu Xiao performs poorly or lacks confidence, Wenger can understand.

He was fully prepared mentally.

Arsenal's performance fluctuated for a period of time after Lu Xiao joined the team, which is normal.

However, Lu Xiao's confidence surprised Wenger.

The 20-year-old Chinese boy had no worries about the future.

Only by having unwavering confidence in one's own strength!

"I must win this match!"

……

"Welcome to Migu Sports! I'm commentator Zhan Jun!"

Hello everyone, I'm Zhang Lu.

"Today, I'm commentating on this Premier League opening match with Coach Zhang. I believe many fans are getting impatient after waiting all summer."

"That's right, nobody expected Lu Xiao to choose Arsenal!"

Coach Zhang's tone revealed surprise and delight.

In the Migu Sports studio, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu looked very excited.

They've finally got Lu Xiao's match!

Originally, with Zhan Jun signing with LeTV Sports, LeTV's future looked very bright.

Later, CEO Jia Yueting caused a stir by saying he would "return to China next week," while focusing on building cars in North America.

After internal personnel adjustments and a reduction in business scope, LeEco's strength is not what it used to be.

Just then, Migu Video, a subsidiary of China Mobile, began to exert its strength, focusing on football broadcasting.

Due to the popularity of Lu Xiao's live stream

This has led to a growing number of people watching the games.

Migu simply signed contracts in advance with a host of well-known commentators, including Zhan Jun, Zhang Lu, Su Dong, and Yan Qiang.

They also purchased the broadcasting rights for the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, and Champions League.

Backed by the deep pockets of China Mobile, Migu has poached many talents with high salaries.

Zhan Jun and Zhang Shuai hit it off immediately and switched locations, but their Premier League commentary remained unchanged for the past ten years.

Moreover, Lu Xiao has now come to the Premier League.

Finally, it's Zhan Jun's turn to be on his own turf!

Furthermore, Migu has the advantage of holding the domestic Premier League broadcasting rights.

After a brief stint broadcasting of the Premier League in the 15-16 season, CCTV has not renewed its contract and continues to focus on La Liga.

Who would have thought that Lu Xiao would suddenly sign with Arsenal in the English Premier League?

This resulted in CCTV being unable to secure the Premier League broadcasting rights for a time.

For the 2017-2018 season, Chinese fans could only watch the Premier League on Migu Video.

Zhan Jun glanced at the number of viewers in the live stream.

Wow, it's already surpassed 3000 million viewers before it even started!

The level of interest in an ordinary league match is already comparable to that of the World Cup!

"The highlight of today is Lu Xiao's debut for Arsenal!"

Before the match, we received news that Arsenal had officially announced Lu Xiao as their starting player.

Lu Shen has fully recovered from his injury from last season.

As a key player Arsenal acquired for a record price, he will undoubtedly be a regular starter in the new season!

Prior to this, Arsenal had a poor start to the season in pre-season friendlies and lost to Premier League side West Ham.

European media outlets are concerned about whether Lu Xiao can adapt to the Premier League and integrate into the team.

Today we can also find out for ourselves.

And coincidentally...

Arsenal's opening match opponent is none other than Leicester City, the 15/16 Premier League champions!

They were also the team that surprisingly eliminated Atletico Madrid in the Champions League quarterfinals last season!

Lu Xiao might also have a chance for revenge against them!

After Zhan Jun spoke for a while, the Premier League director had already pointed the camera at the players' tunnel.

This was the first time fans had seen Lu Xiao wearing a red and white Arsenal jersey.

Suddenly, I had a novel feeling.

"I'm so unaccustomed to this!"

"As an Atletico Madrid fan, today I'm an Arsenal fan."

"We, Arsenal, are invincible!"

"Here he comes! Lu Shen is so handsome!"

Under the guidance of referee Clattenburg,

Lu Xiao, holding the caddie's hand, walked out of the Emirates Stadium tunnel with his teammates!

"It's here! The first match of the Premier League!"
