No. 643: Anti-guest-oriented!
At 8:15 a.m., the starters of both sides appeared in the tunnel of the players.
Both teams playfully avoided seeing each other, and they walked onto the pitch with four referees leading them.
They were greeted by deafening cheers and a London derby!
It's a race for London's supreme honor, it's a showdown between the giants, it's a Mars collision with Earth!
The deaf cheers made the players of both teams enthusiastic, and Chen Fan enjoyed this feeling very much.
Sky Sports commentator Bill exclaimed: "The London derby is about to begin, and this game has attracted as many as 150 TV stations to broadcast it live, with a total of 432 journalists covering the scene!
This number surpassed the match between Arsenal and Liverpool, setting a new record for Premier League broadcasting!
The big war is inevitably preceded by news and a war of words, and surprisingly, it was not the London media that started the war of words, but the media of Manchester City.
Manchester City's media published articles revealing that Van Persie was unhappy with some of the club's practices and had made a living, with his agent secretly in contact with the Chelsea hierarchy.
This took the media by storm, with Robin van Persie and Chelsea in the spotlight, but their reactions were mixed.
Van Persie's agent came out to deny the rumours, while Chelsea opted for silence, which made people think.
Obviously, Van Persie has ceased to be the team's number one killer since Chen arrived at Arsenal, and Chen also set a new Premier League goal last season, becoming the first star in Premier League history to score more than 40 goals!
In addition, there are rumors that Chen has now surpassed Van Persie in salary to become Arsenal's highest-paid player.
Then, Van Persie's transfer has good reasons, so the Dutchman's transfer is possible.
Although Van Persie has strenuously denied the rumours of a move to Chelsea, who can tell what he really thinks in his heart.
Predictably, in the future, if Wenger fails to meet Van Persie's salary demands, it is only a matter of time before the Dutchman leaves the Gunners. ”
The ESPN commentator exclaimed: "The players from both sides have entered the stadium and the game is about to begin, so now we will introduce you to the starting lineups of both teams.
Chelsea's formation is 442, goalkeeper: Cech; Four defenders: Ashley Cole, John Terry, Alex, Branislav Ivanovic; Four midfielders: Essien, Malouda, Lampard, Ramirez; Two strikers: Drogba, Anelka.
Arsenal's formation is an attacking formation of four, three, three, and goalkeeper Almunia; The back four are Klicy, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Sagna; Three midfielders: Diaby, Song, Cesc Fabregas; Three strikers: Van Persie, Chen, Arshavin!
Judging from the formation, Arsene Wenger is ready to play a battle with Carlo Ancelotti at Stamford Bridge!
The biggest attraction of this game, of course, is how Van Persie performs, has he been affected?
The second highlight is Chen's performance, whether he can continue his magical performance and continue the myth of scoring goals in the duel with the giants! ”
In the stands, the blue flag was waving in the wind, 80% of the stands were blue, only the east side was red and white, and Arsenal fans gathered there.
"Tick! ……”
With the referee's whistle, the game officially began, Drogba moved the football to the back, and the three Arsenal strikers immediately spread across the half court to press.
In order to improve the effectiveness of the pressing, the positions of Arsenal's three midfielders have also been moved forward.
Chelsea picked up the pace of the ball and Malouda took Frank Lampard's pass and dribbled down the middle, where Chen Fan immediately pressed from the flank.
I don't know why, Malouda didn't pass the ball immediately, but suddenly buttoned it, wanting to leave Chen Fan behind.
At the moment when he smashed the ball, Chen Fan stretched out his left foot and stuck in front of the football!
Malouda's face changed greatly, and he increased the strength of his left foot, and it was difficult for the football to roll over Chen Fan's left instep.
At this moment, Van Persie stepped forward to grab!
The atmosphere on the pitch immediately changed, and Van Persie hit his right shoulder, and he used a reasonable charge to knock Malouda away and take control of the football!
The steal is successful!
The Dutch duo not only has a tacit sense of understanding in attack, but also in defense!
"Boom! ……”
There was a huge exclamation at Stamford Bridge.
After getting the ball, Van Persie started quickly, and Chen Fan stepped forward at high speed!
"Strike back quickly!"
The ESPN commentator said loudly: "The Dutch duo successfully tackled in the midfield through tacit cooperation, and Van Persie forced a breakthrough forward with the ball!" ”
'He got rid of Frank Lampard!'
"Chen cut forward at high speed, pass!"
The football flew up from the turf and flew behind the Chelsea back line, Chen Fan and Terry were like two lightning bolts rushing towards the football!
Sky Sports commentator Bill shouted excitedly: "Is it possible that there will be a goal at the beginning of the game? ”
The air at Stamford Bridge was getting tense and the Chelsea fans had no idea that before their attack could be launched, the Gunners were immediately launching a quick counter-attack.
Arsenal fans see hope of scoring!
If this goal is scored......
In front of him, Chen Fan was about to fly by, Terry quickly raised his head, glanced at the falling football, and then roared and flew towards the football!
The next moment, he struggled to reach the football, and the football flew towards the sideline.
ESPN shouted: "At the crucial moment, Terry stepped up, he stepped up to the football and defused Arsenal's quick counter-attack!" ”
The ball eventually flew off the touchline and the Chelsea players took advantage of the opportunity to return to their own half to regroup.
Terry yelled at Malouda, who had just made a mistake, "Deal with the ball early, don't drag the mud and water!" ”
Malouda had a look of shame on his face, he was indeed selfish, and wanted to break through Chen Fan and use it to achieve his reputation.
You don't say that Chen's tackling ability is super strong, I just want to pass him!
On the pitch, Arsenal lost the chance to fight back quickly as Chelsea players retreated.
Since Chen Fan arrived at Arsenal, Arsene Wenger has adjusted his attacking focus and put quick counter-attacks in a very important position.
But that's not to say that Arsenal won't attack positionally.
On the contrary, they are often able to play gorgeous coordination in positional attacks.
Clichy fed the ball to Cesc Fabregas and the Spaniard began to show his organisational skills, and under his thread, Arsenal played a mercury-like attack down the right.
Eventually, the ball came to Arshavin and the Russian crossed from the wing!
Van Persie, who was ambushed in the box, beat Terry, a beautiful lion shook his head, and the ball flew towards the left side of the goal!
The ball flew past the fingertips of Cech as he soared into the air!
The air at Stamford Bridge was suffocating and the hearts of Chelsea fans stopped beating......
