In the first ten years of the Premier League, or further extended to the history of the English top league, Arsenal and Chelsea, in fact, except that they are both located in London City and belong to the same city rivals, there was no other special entanglement.

However, since Russia's tycoon owner Abou bought Chelsea and signed madman coach Jose Mourinho, he has spent a lot of money to buy a large number of top players, improve the team's hardware and software, and successfully make Chelsea rise to the top of the Premier League, causing trouble in the Premier League and winning multiple titles. They not only broke the Premier League hegemony between Arsenal and Manchester United, but also leapt into the new Premier League giants.

Recently, Chelsea have won the UEFA Cup and the Champions League in a row, and in some top honours, they have come close to or even surpassed Arsenal, a team that does not have any major European titles.

And Arsenal, although in the early days of Wenger's leadership, had a strong appearance, won consecutive Premier League titles, and had a brilliant unbeaten season.

However, since the defeat in the Champions League final with Barcelona, they have been slumped, gradually out of the competition for the league title, and it has always been more difficult to go further in the Champions League, and the name of the giants is somewhat undeserved.

Even if Wenger and some supporters continue to make excuses for Arsenal's failed results, what the FA does not take care of, many referees always target Arsenal, the opponents of the game play too roughly, Arsenal's style of play is too elegant and easy to be injured, these are all reasons, and there are also classic strange reasons for building a new stadium and not being able to buy players, but can only sell the core of the captain.

In short, Arsenal has not touched the Premier League crown for a long time for so many years, and has only been a fig leaf for entering the Champions League knockout round, and has had the embarrassing experience of not having any title for eight years, which is really difficult to say in the past.

Therefore, this is why, before this game, Mourinho, the meritorious coach madman who returned to Chelsea this season, also deliberately ridiculed the evaluation, calling Arsene Wenger an "expert on failure".

It can be said that this league match between Arsenal and Chelsea is no longer an ordinary game of the year, and it obviously carries more special meaning. It is not only the battle between the old and new dominants of London City, but also the battle between Wenger and Mourinho two styles and levels of coaches, and of course, the on-site comparison of the two styles of play, as well as many other influences.

This is also why, Li Xuan's original intention of deliberately asking to participate in this game before the game, this can indeed be regarded as a very important derby event in today's football, and it is also related to the ultimate goal of the two teams this season, no one can afford to lose.

It is also commendable that this game was the 1,000th game in charge of Arsenal by Arsene Wenger. Regardless of whether Wenger has contributed to Arsenal throughout his entire managerial career, he has been able to coach a thousand games, which in itself can be regarded as a legendary honor. Naturally, Wenger himself, as well as more people, are full of expectations for Arsenal in this game.

From the beginning of the game, it seemed that Coach Wenger, who has always been more conservative and stubborn, really wanted to take advantage of this critical and opportune time to win Mourinho in the Premier League.

So, even though this is Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's home stadium, he kept Arsenal open in attack from the start.

If you think about it carefully, Wenger did do have a bit of a trace of gambling and fighting for his life. But this is also the fact that he has never won against Mourinho, and finally waited for Mourinho to enter the palace for the second time, and it was such an important game that he had to want to win urgently!

Li Xuan stood on the side of the arena and quietly enforced the law, and he could naturally and divergently associate with these.

So, he looked at Wenger's bitter melon-like face, and he somewhat understood that this old French man was now under great pressure. It's just that Li Xuan just doesn't understand that Wenger sometimes has tactics in strong dialogues, which are too strange, and he always takes the initiative to make some rare changes, which makes people confused.

Of course, the emergence of these ideas is not that Li Xuan is taking the opportunity to desert and deliberately think about it as an Arsenal fan.

In fact, Li Xuan, as a professional referee, fourth official, and bystander, can see the situation on the field at this time in a very timely manner. Arsenal In this contest with Chelsea, the entire team lineup played too highly, and the mentality of the players, perhaps under Wenger's pre-game orders, was too anxious!

Indeed, it looked like Arsenal's attacking wave after wave was high, giving Chelsea a rather pressing blow as if they could score at any moment.

However, this Chelsea team, but Mourinho is leading the team, the crazy coach with extraordinary self-confidence, who is nothing short of a masterpiece when it comes to tuning the team's defensive tactics, not to mention his classic ability to swing the bus.

And with Arsenal's current player lineup configuration, as well as the kind of stinky and long ground short pass penetration and fixed play, I can't wait to pass the football to Chelsea's door one by one, and the style of play is extremely complicated and troublesome, and it is not flexible at all.

Therefore, such an Arsenal, in fact, it is really difficult to bite through Chelsea's defensive tactics, and it is just a little better to look at the scene, which actually does not kill Chelsea much, but wastes the players' physical strength and brushes up some irrelevant data.

Li Xuan speculated that if Arsenal did not change their tactics in time to induce Chelsea to give up the bus defense, then they would be vulnerable to Chelsea's defensive counterattack.

After all, Chelsea's team is not only full of clean and clean players who are tough and strong, but also a super counter-attacking explosion like Hazard!

Once Chelsea are given space to counter-attack, Arsenal are in danger.

Sure enough, Li Xuan was right, his side had not finished his tactical judgment and evaluation of the two teams on the field, but Hazard had decisively successfully completed the anti-offside position, and took advantage of the loopholes left by Arsenal's big pressure to get a single goal!

Then, in the face of goalkeeper Szczesny, the only backfield player in Arsenal's attack, Hazard made a smooth pick and broke through Arsenal's goal so easily!

Li Xuan, like the other three referees, watched everyone closely, and after confirming that there was no foul in this goal, he couldn't help but sigh slightly, feeling helpless for Arsenal.

But on his side, Arsene Wenger had already jumped up and yelled anxiously at him: "Offside, Hazard offside!"
