Chapter 359: Chelsea Behind

After Kodic decided to let Jones rotate, considering that Jones was tired, he asked the team doctor to conduct a check on the players of the whole team, and found that many players were also fatigued.

At the back, Kodic didn't make much change, and up front, Willian and Pedro and Costa became today's partners.

Although there are a lot of main players in rotation, Chelsea's midfield lineup can be regarded as a decent strength in the Premier League, but there is still some uncertainty about this away win against Arsenal, which is a very important League Cup semi-final.

Jones was in the stands, anxious because this was the closest tournament winner to him.

"What's the matter, are you in a bad mood?" Someone said behind Jones.

When Jones turned his head to look, he saw that it was Hazard, so he asked strangely: "Scumbag, why did you come and stay with me?" ”

The scum is Hazard's nickname, Hazard sat down and took out a piece of chewing gum and gave it to Jones, saying: "The coach talked to me, saying that today's task is given to Costa, and the substitutes are given to Batshuayi and Segura, and I don't have to play......"

Kante and Cesc Fabregas also came over with a smile and said: "Don't believe him, he was let rest after the team doctor's examination!" ”

Hazard also laughed and didn't explain, and the four of them sat in a straight line after that, with Jones on the far left, Hazard on the right, Cesc Fabregas on the right, and Kante on the far right.

"Jones, several of Chelsea's main players, talking and laughing together, I don't know what they are talking about, hehe, Jones is sitting in the stands and actually robbing the ......," the famous football commentator commented on the game.

"The highlight of the semi-finals of this League Cup was originally Jones, but I didn't expect him to be in the squad, but I didn't expect that Jones, who was not in the squad, actually became the focus of the game!"

Various media outlets have also dispatched reporters and asked them to send people to watch the stage to see what these guys are doing!

Jones chatted about the starting line-ups of both sides in the stands: Arsenal's starting line-up, goalkeeper Ospina, and the back four from left to right: Monreal, Mustafi, Koschenier and Bellerin.

Among the midfielders, the midfielder is Elneny, the left and right wing-backs, Xhaka and Wilshere, two speed players, the tactics of 3 forwards, Iwobi on the left, Lacazette in the middle, and 272 on the right.

"In our lineup, Pedro on the left and Willian on the right, after a high-speed breakthrough, he crossed to find the center forward Costa, it seems that the coach wants to test Pedro's condition first, and secondly to test the organizational ability of Bakayoko and Moses......

Have you noticed that there is no core and no real playmaker on the field of our squad now......" Jones said, Kante and Fabregas also nodded incessantly, and Hazard also agreed.

Several of Jones' teammates around him were also nervous to watch this game, because if they win, they could participate in the final, and they could win the first title of the new year, and in the opening 10 minutes, after several trials, Arsenal took the lead in a threatening attack.

After Mustafi gave the ball to Elneny, he quickly ran out to the right wing, Elneny knocked the ball back and ran forward quickly, and the Arsenal players quickly ran towards the Chelsea half, this game, Wenger's arrangement is to attack with all his strength and try to solve the problem early.

All Chelsea have to do now is to counter-attack on the spot, try to control the ball at their feet as quickly as possible, and take the game on their own track, so they also start to pounce frantically on the opposition half and start pressing.

However, before they could get close to Elneny, who had the ball, Elneny kicked the ball to the right, where a figure was moving forward at high speed, and the ball flying in the air gave people the feeling of extreme speed.

When the Chelsea players saw it, they were all shocked, 272 easily unloaded the ball, Alonso saw 272 unload the ball, he stepped on small steps, and slowly retreated, in case 272 broke through, 272 is very fast, if he let him pass, it will be equivalent to 1-0. So he was defending the 272 breakaway, and Christensen in the middle was also ready to make up for it at any time, and they slowly moved to the left flank.

They were taken aback by what 272 did next, as they didn't break through, but instead took the ball straight into the box and drove it into the box, a position that was so special that Caballero was difficult to deal with.

Caballero didn't attack, neither did he not, but Richristensen was relieved to turn his head to look at the place and find that there were no Arsenal players there.

However, his nerves tensed again, because a figure quickly ran into the penalty area, and it was Lacazette who quickly cut into the box, he saw the incoming ball, swung his leg against the ball, and the ball flew towards the bottom right corner of the goal.

The Chelsea players stared anxiously at the flying football, praying in their hearts: "Don't score, you can't score......"

The Arsenal players all raised their hands and stared at the ball: "Get in!" Go in ......."

The two coaches on the sidelines also stood up anxiously and ran to the sideline, but the expressions of the two were different, Wenger was anxious and excited, and Kodic was worried, he didn't expect his lineup to be disrupted as soon as the opening began.

Caballero swooped into the bottom right corner of the net at the same time as Lacazette slotted the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal, and although Caballero did his best to save the ball, the ball relentlessly slipped between his fingers and flew into the bottom right foot of the goal.

“goooooooooal………………………… Lacazette ............ Arsenal took the lead at their home stadium at the Emirates Stadium and Alexandre Lacazette's goal ............," said Arsenal's commentator with excitement as he held the microphone.

Just 12 minutes into the game, Arsenal were leading at home, and it seems that Chelsea will not be able to play in the next games............" The Chelsea commentator also said into the microphone.

"Yes! Chelsea will make a difficult mistake next, and Arsenal will definitely stick to their defensive counter-attack, after all, they already have a goal in hand, they will not rush, but they will play more relaxed.

It's better for them to play, but it's different for Chelsea, they must be in a hurry to equalise, so it's not good for them! The football commentator said slowly.

As soon as he saw the ball scored, the expression on Kodic's face was dark, and Lacazette, who scored the goal, was running up the pitch at high speed, behind him was a group of golfers chasing him, and Wenger jumped up in place excitedly, like a child.

"Damn, it was so quick to score! What happened to Chelsea? They shouldn't be the only ones at this level? ”

Hazard looked at the big curtain worriedly: "Jones! Is there little hope for our finals, if we really fail, I'm afraid the coach will go crazy! ”

Jones also had a solemn expression, but still said, "It's okay, it's still early before the game ends!" ”
