Chapter Ninety-One: The Contest (Part II)

Such a player naturally has to use a defensive strategy of keeping an eye on it, and Jones is not in form in this game, so Arsenal will score first.

At least from the point of view of Jones's defensive arrangement, as well as the subsequent defensive counterattack goal, Wenger does have real skills, and soon, Kodic called Fabregas, the core of the team's midfield, to the sidelines: "Sisko, change your strategy, use Costa as the main point of attack, Jones is not in the state of this game, and he is also a player who is taken care of, transferring the offensive point can also reduce the pressure on Jones, if the opponent starts to defend Costa, continue to turn Jones." ”

Fabregas nodded in understanding: "Boss, I'll do what the opportunity is." ”

Fabregas heard it very clearly, Jones's strength was also very clear, and Jones's efforts on the training ground, so Xiaofa believed that Jones was only a temporary slump.

Costa is a striker with excellent individual ability, and he has long been famous, but because he has long been famous, his strength and characteristics have long been known, so Arsenal's Arsene Wenger has also figured out how to deal with Costa.

Because Arsenal had an absolute advantage in the game today, and now Arsenal firmly holds possession, but Chelsea's defense is indeed solid, and the goal just now is just a mistake in Chelsea's defense.

Costa is a player with a style of play characterized by power and directness, and at the age of 25 he has already established a reputation as a leading goalscorer in Spain, especially in solo duels, scoring with both feet and left foot, as well as good physical fitness, excellent ability to compete with the ball, Costa can run behind opposition defenders and make opponents unguarded.

"Jones, Costa, we'll focus on Costa in a moment." Taking advantage of an Arsenal foul on his side to get a set-piece, Cesc Fabregas brought two of his team's strikers over and said.

"No problem!" The two nodded.

Originally, the game was usually played by Jones to break through the attack and Costa to respond, but today's Arsenal defense made Costa and Jones both play very uncomfortable, but Costa still has a better chance than Jones, because Jones has no chance to attack even if he gets the ball now.

"Listen, Jones, you're a player with a double hat in the Champions League, a player who has played a game at home alone, and you can't do anything against the Arsenal defence, anyway, I'm going to keep attacking and disrupt their defense, you want to get back to your form, you know?" Costaan said, putting his arm around his partner.

Jones nodded, for himself, he also wanted to prove himself without a bonus! Damn, I can't beat them without the bonus, so how can I become a legend, I'll definitely be able to create a chance!

On the pitch, Chelsea's attacking focus shifted from Jones to Costa's feet, while Cahill drove a free-kick wide and slotted it across the middle to reorganise the attack.

Well? Arsenal's defenders have also spotted the situation, and the opponent has started to change the attacking point? Mustafi pursed his lips disdainfully: "It's okay, that little guy is simply a parallel import, completely wasting my pre-match speech, it seems that he is not too strong, but his opponent was too weak before." ”

Mustafi didn't notice that his head coach Arsene Wenger had left his bench for the first time in the game, and Wenger glanced at the Chelsea bench.

"Do you trust that Jones so much? Jones' performance in this game has been blocked by his own team, and you don't replace him. ”

You know, judging from the twenty minutes of the first half, Wenger is also a little uncertain, watching Jones's game video before is not like this at all, this game does not have that incredible performance, he now has no advantage at all, either he is in a sluggish state, or his opponent was too weak before.

But now, it is clear that Chelsea have changed their attacking direction and have shifted to Costa, Wenger is not in a hurry, he has already explained before the game, he just wonders why Kodic did not replace Jones, who is in a slump?

If he doesn't have the quality, then Chelsea and Kodic, why do you believe in this guy so much?

Yes, in Wenger's eyes now, Jones's performance in this game is just a trick by Kodic, who wants to lose his marking of Jones and make the last effort, but I won't fall for you.

In Wenger's eyes, Chelsea's bad start is just Kodic's tactics, or is Jones not finding his form and winning 4 games in a row? Hmph, we're going to end your winning streak today, anyway!

At Stamford Bridge, after knowing that he had changed the attacking point, Jones started his off-ball run, not carrying the ball was disrupting Arsenal's defense in front, back and forth, back and forth, he kept running, no matter what the situation on the pitch was, his position was always moving.

This made the defender who marked him, Koscielny, very uncomfortable. "Is this guy an idiot? Running around like this is just draining his own physical energy! Did he think that his idiot-like movement could disappear before my eyes? ”

Just as Koscielny was thinking, on the pitch, Chelsea launched an attack!

Cesc Fabregas passes the ball to the feet of the team's striker Costa! "Sure enough, this guy is the striker for Chelsea!" Mustafi the defender who was marking Costa smiled, as if he felt that he finally had a place to play, and Mustafi's attention was on Costa who was on the ball at the edge of the box.

Costa glanced up at Jones, who was running back and forth on the left side of the court, and then he smiled, Now the offense is handed over to me, Jones, you just look at it, I'm not worse than you.

I don't know why, Costa is very trustworthy about Jones, and he doesn't have any jealous thoughts and wants to suppress Jones, and this trust is also reflected in the game! Every time Costa is in a bad position, he will pass the ball to Jones as soon as possible, but Costa also wants to prove that he is no worse than Jones.

Costa passes the ball to Jones! Mustafi smiled, "It won't work, don't you know how many times Jones has been stopped just now?" However, just as Mustafi was about to turn around and go to the card position, he found that Costa didn't pass the ball to Jones at all! That's when he noticed that Costa's pass was a feint! is a feint to attract the attention of the defensive line.

Mustafi couldn't see it more clearly from this angle! Because he half-turned at this moment and saw the player who disappeared in the midfield! In Mustafi's astonished eyes, Costa passed! A wonderful through ball through the Arsenal defence!

Costa is a former international player in Spain, although he is no longer an international, but this time, Costa told the Germans about his strength! Perfect for a straight stopper! Not a pass to Jones! It's for Xiaofa!

"Run, Fabregas!" Jones's expectant eyes also looked in the direction of Cesc Fabregas.

Just now, Arsenal defender Mustafi was attracted by Costa's feints, so now his position is very awkward, and it takes a few seconds to fill the position, but it is these few seconds, this goal is not offside, it is a single goal, Stamford Bridge, nearly 50,000 Chelsea fans have left their benches! Will it be a Chelsea equaliser?

Mustafi was chasing back, but Cesc Fabregas's first stop was perfect, and he took a step forward with the inertia of the ball! Cesc Fabregas wasn't very fast, but Mustafi couldn't catch up!

Cesc Fabregas single-handedly vs Arsenal goalkeeper Cech!

Arsenal's old goalkeeper Petr Cech didn't make a move!
