Chapter 401: This Guy Took His Medicine, Didn't He?

As a centre-back, Saul Campbell's career was the same age as the Premier League, starting in '92. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As the main central defender of the Premier League and England national team, Campbell has experienced countless top scorers over the past decade, some of which have gradually faded from the attention of fans, such as Manchester United's Black Wind and Sheringham, some have retired, such as Cantona, and some are still red, such as teammates Thierry Henry, Owen, Ruud van Nistelrooy and the aging Alan Shearer.

Similarly, Campbell has no shortage of experience against high-pitched strikers, such as Hasselbaink.

Despite his self-proclaimed experience, Campbell still had a headache when he met Ibrahimovic.

Because this is a rather alternative high school striker.

He's got a lot of physicality, and he's not going to lose anyone in the confrontations, even against Campbell, and while he can't win on the ball, he's not embarrassed.

But what really bothers Campbell, or indeed all Premier League centre-backs, is that he has the delicate skill of his feet that is not lost to any midfielder, which is very difficult to do.

A high school striker with a height of 1.95 meters, excellent physical fitness, strong confrontation ability, extremely delicate foot skills, very flexible body, and very skillful ball control, how can people prevent this?

In one-on-one situations, he just needs to lean his body against you, and you don't expect to get the ball at his feet.

Even, he wants you to grab it, because when you make a grab, he will shake you off very skillfully.

So, defending Ibrahimovic, if you can't grab the first shot, then you have to move two people.

This was the consensus that was formed between Campbell and Toure.

One-on-one, no one is sure that they will be able to defend the Swedish Divine Tower.

Every time Ibrahimovic got the ball, Arsenal's defence tensed.

Also making the Arsenal defence a big match is Ronaldinho from Brazil, but he is known for his magical footwork and individual ability.

And during the game, the Gunners made a lot of emphasis on isolating the two players from the pre-match drills to minimize their interactions.

In fact, in the period after the opening, it has been very successful.

But Chelsea seem to be aware of this, quickly making adjustments and re-attacking threats.

One of the most important changes is Ronaldinho's position, which often drops back, and Ibrahimovic always keeps a certain distance from him, which makes Arsenal's defense a little uncomfortable.

It was as if this time, Ronaldinho had once again dropped deep, more than twenty-five metres from the goal, and closer to the centre, causing Arsenal's right-back Lauren to not follow up immediately, but to get closer to Vieira.

Deco picked up the ball from outside the 30-metre area and as soon as he saw Ronaldinho pull back, he immediately passed the ball to his feet.

Ronaldinho turned as soon as he received the ball and immediately passed the ball to the middle without waiting for Vieira and Ljungberg to get close.

Patrick Vieira instinctively kicked the ball but couldn't reach it.

And Ibrahimovic didn't know when, the ball appeared behind him, and the ball came firmly at his feet.

"It's broken!"

Campbell was the first to recognise the danger, but years of playing had taught him that he shouldn't pounce at this time, so he instinctively stood on the edge of the box and let Ibrahimovic pounce.

He is confident in his frontal defence and speed.

Sure enough, after the Swedish center bullied him, he slowed down, and suddenly cut inside with a smash to shake off Campbell.

But Campbell was very experienced and immediately approached.

At this time, Vieira, who reacted, also chased back for the first time, and the two sandwiched Ibrahimovic in the middle of the arc of the big penalty area.

Arsenal's two fierce men flanked Ibrahimovic at the same time, which gave everyone confidence.

You know, in the Champions League, even in the face of Vieri, who is known for his physical fitness in the Inter Milan team, neither Campbell nor Vieira will fall behind, not to mention that now the two of them are wrapping up one Ibrahimovic at the same time?

But soon, Campbell realized something was wrong.

Under the two of them at the same time, although Ibrahimovic was staggered with the ball left and right, he still controlled the ball at his feet, and even faintly overwhelmed Vieira with his body.

"Damn monsters!" Campbell was taken aback and immediately pounced on the ball at Ibrahimovic's feet.

But just as he made a move, the Swedish center leaned on Vieira with his body, but poked the ball with his right foot before Campbell.

The stab was just enough for the ball to avoid Campbell's foot, allowing the latter to make a save.

Not only that, but Ibrahimovic immediately leaned towards Campbell after stabbing the ball past him.

It was precisely this leaning that made Campbell, who was about to turn around and chase back, stagnate, and only felt an unprecedented force coming from Ibrahimovic's shoulder, which made his whole person feel like he was falling out, and his legs had to stand hard to stabilize his body.

But in that case, don't expect to turn around and chase back.

Instead, it was Ibrahimovic who took the lead, rushed into the penalty area, caught up with the ball, and used his body to block the flying Kolo Toure.

After the Ivorian defender crashed into Ibrahimovic's body, he couldn't shake him in the slightest, as if he had hit a wall, and he fell to the ground unbalanced.

On the other hand, Ibrahimovic, who rushed ahead of the attacking goalkeeper Lehmann, directly pulled out his right foot and shot angrily!

The whole process happened in an instant, and when all the fans on the scene reacted, they only saw a loud muffled sound from Arsenal's big penalty area, and then saw the ball crash into the goal behind him from the side of Lehmann, who had fallen to the ground.

At this moment, the entire Millennium Stadium fell into a dead silence.

After the Swedish Divine Tower volleyed vigorously, he clenched his hands into fists and roared vigorously, like an arrogant dragon that had woken up from his slumber, venting his full spirit!

It was also at this moment that everyone in the audience burst into cheers and exclamations.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!”

"Oh my God, thirty-second minute, thirty-second minute. ”

'All the viewers in front of the TV, remember this time, Chelsea finally scored!'

"Ibrahimovic!"

'Zlatan Ibrahimovic from Sweden, opening the scoring for Chelsea!'

"This is a very hearty manifestation of individual strength, a powerful burst!"

The cheers of the Chelsea fans began to sweep through the Millennium Stadium.

In the stands, every Blues fan chanted Ibrahimovic's name.

1-0, which brings them one step closer to the League Cup title!

"Let's look at the slow-motion replay, this physical quality is really shocking, not only firmly suppressed Vieira, but also against Campbell with ease, Ibrahimovic relied on his strong physical confrontation, as well as skillful foot skills, just found a gap in the Arsenal iron wall, and created a killing opportunity!"

"At this moment, he is like a monster returning from hell!"

In front of the northern coach's bench, Wenger was stunned.

He would never have imagined that he would concede such a goal.

You know, at least four players were defending near Ibrahimovic at the time, but the Swedish center forward still seized the opportunity, what else can he say?

Is it because the players don't work hard enough?

No, look at Vieira, Campbell, and Toure still lying on the ground, who can blame them?

"This guy...... It's a monster!" Pat Rice muttered.

He knew Vieira and Campbell's physicality well, so he couldn't believe what had just happened.

Vieri, Hasselbaink, and even Jan Kohler and other powerful centre-forwards across the Europa League will find it difficult to take advantage of Campbell, and Arsenal's centre-backs are not left behind.

But in this game, in the face of Ibrahimovic, Campbell couldn't defend the opponent alone, and even added a Vieira and Toure, the three of them were sandwiched at the same time, and they still let the other party score and let him roar in his penalty area.

"This guy...... Have you taken your medicine?" Pat Rice guessed.

Wenger shook his head, he was a little hard to accept.

Ibrahimovic used to be very, very close to him, even right in front of his eyes, and he could grab it with a single hand.

But now, the Swedish center has broken through his goal.

On the field, after Ibrahimovic scored, he did not hide the ecstasy in his heart, and after celebrating with his teammates, he turned around, stuck out his tongue with a smile, and saw Campbell and Vieira and others, who shrugged their shoulders and spread their hands, with a very innocent and helpless expression.

This immediately made Vieira and Campbell so angry that they almost rushed forward to beat him.

It's so arrogant!

The ball has already been scored, and you still have to fall into the hole like this?

"Look, look, this guy is too much, isn't he?" Cantarero saw the Swedish center's move, laughing and making a small report to Gao Han, this kind of move to provoke the opponent is really irrational.

Gao Han had just high-fived his assistants around him and the players on the bench in celebration, and when he came back, he laughed out loud without thinking, "This is Ibrahimovic!"

Both Cantarero and Unai Emery were dumbfounded.

Isn't it too partial to him?

"Without this unruly character, then he would not be Ibrahimovic!"

As soon as Gao Han said this, the assistants were relieved.

People all have personalities.

What kind of character makes what kind of person.

Ronaldinho is optimistic by nature, so his football is like an elf singing and dancing, full of uncanny imagination, Deco is diligent and low-key, so he is the most conscientious on the pitch, and Eto'o is full of urgency, so he is desperate to chase goals on the pitch.

Ibrahimovic is proud and never thinks he's going to lose to anyone, so he's going to try very hard to prove himself.

Without waiting for the assistants to react, Gao Han had already walked to the sidelines and applauded Ibrahimovic and Ronaldinho, who were walking towards the halfcourt, "Good job, guys!"

Several players reached out to high-five the manager as they passed in front of him, and Ibrahimovic hugged his manager.

"Take advantage of the victory to pursue, take advantage of the fact that they are now a little messy, and work harder to kill them. Gao Han smiled with encouragement and made a decapitation motion.

The Swedish center grinned, "Haha, boss, so, I love you more and more!"

Gao Han's smile stiffened, and he kicked his ass, "Get away!"

This scene was noticed by the live TV cameras on the sidelines, as well as the fans in the stands, and the whole stadium cheered!
