Chapter 81: One More City!
"Did you see that?"
While waiting for kick-off in the centre circle, Costa suddenly said this to Torres next to him. www.biquge.info There was still a hint of anger on his face, thinking that he thought that Torres was the culprit behind the team, if Torres could score the goal before, then even if Qin Shou scored, the score at this time should be 1:1, at least a draw, not behind.
On top of that, if Chelsea had scored first, it was unclear whether Arsenal would have been able to score so quickly with Jose Mourinho's elaborate counter-attacking tactics.
Torres was silent for a long time, and after a long time, he nodded, turned around, and still didn't say a word.
It's just that his back looks so lonely and bleak.
Fernando Torres was once one of Europe's top strikers, but that changed after his move to Chelsea. He's always worked hard and he's always been positive, but no matter what he does, it's still like he's cursed, he just can't score. The expectations of the fans, the trust of the manager, the support of the club gradually disappeared as he squandered the chances of scoring again and again. Even if he still didn't give up, he always went farther and farther on the road of sinking.
As Costa said, Qin Shou's counterattack was indeed very fast and fierce, and it was unacceptably fierce. It was just one attack, and the opponent took the opportunity to score. So in the face of Costa's accusations, Torres was irrefutable.
It's just that when he didn't notice, a trace of unwillingness flashed in Torres's eyes, and he clenched his fists tightly.
"Actually, I want to score goals too!"
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
After the resumption of the game, Chelsea soon launched another wave of attacks.
Still orchestrated by Cesc Fabregas, he is at the heart of the team's attack, with most of the attacking campaign revolving around him, which has allowed him to regain the confidence he had at Arsenal, so he has been performing better and better, while also giving more trust to his team-mates and fans.
In the thirteenth minute, he played several passes with Frank Lampard in the middle, and suddenly played the ball to the side, Costa in the middle rubbed the ball back, Cesc Fabregas followed up quickly, but did not catch the ball, cleverly missed the ball, and Lampard behind him followed up with a long-range shot.
The shot was powerful, and most importantly Cesc Fabregas's sudden leak shook Arsenal's entire defence, and Cech made a hurried save, but couldn't touch the football. However, Frank Lampard's long-range shot also failed to find the net, and the ball grazed the post and went straight off the line.
Two minutes later, Chelsea were back in action, this time by Cesc Fabregas. The ball passed into the box from the flank, and there was chaos in Arsenal's defensive area, Cesc Fabregas fell to the ground in the chaos and tackled, and the ball was picked up by Cech who was in position.
It can be said that this game was a climax from the beginning, especially after Arsenal's goal, Chelsea, who were not willing to fall behind, pressed on three lines and tried to equalize as soon as possible.
In attack, Chelsea played very concisely and directly, taking advantage of their height and strength, putting a lot of pressure on Arsenal's defence. Cesc Fabregas, in particular, was active, his playmaking and his passing made it difficult for the Gunners' defence.
Of course, this also drew even more boos for Cesc Fabregas. It's okay if he doesn't take the ball, as long as he gets the ball, the boos and scolding are simply overwhelming.
Chelsea's attacking momentum was fierce, but that didn't mean they dominated the pitch. Because Arsenal's attack is just as sharp. Arsenal's style of football is one of skilful passing, quick pushing, and many times a single pass to complete the link, which makes their attack look even more fluid.
Mikel is a very strong defensive player, and with Frank Lampard's assistance, Chelsea's midfield should look solid.
Not really.
Mikel Mikel and Frank Lampard were aggressive in their runs and scrambles, and they were decisive and quick in their tackles. Against many Premier League teams, this one save can easily snatch the football down, or at least destroy the opponent's advance.
But against Arsenal, this kind of pressing is a little ineffective. Because Arsenal have better technique and speed at their feet, their one-foot passes, Mikel's saves can often only be pounced into a ball of air. And because of his snatch, there is bound to be a gap behind him, although there are teammates to fill in for him, but Arsenal's attacking speed is too fast, and several technical players have good passing skills, always able to hit the football to their weak points.
This is also something that can't be helped, Arsenal is not the other rough brothers in the Premier League, and it is extremely difficult to cut off their possession of the ball all at once, if not impossible.
In such a situation, Arsenal's offensive is also very smooth, Qin Shou sits in the middle of the dispatch organization, from time to time with the two teammates on the side to change positions, plus Sanchez and Giroud, the combination of high and fast at the top, several people in the front court will play the offensive cooperation well.
Basically, Chelsea have an attack and they respond with a shot immediately and are even more threatening. The two teams are now almost in the rhythm of attack, and it will be up to them to see which side can score first.
Such an offensive battle made the fans on both sides in the stands very addicted, and of course, they were also nervous in their hearts, for fear that the next moment, their goals would be penetrated.
'Chelsea's quick attack...... Felipe got the assist up front and he passed the ball into the box...... Costa headed in and Cech made a brilliant save! Against his former club, Cech was really unrelenting! ”
"Olivier Giroud! He also responded immediately with a header flick! Ha, the king of heaven and the tiger, look at me Giroud! This header is really powerful! It's a pity that it's just that little! ”
"It's really an exciting battle of attack, the game only started for more than ten minutes, it was so intense and exciting, the London derby really deserved its name!"
The commentators shouted excitedly as they explained the battle situation. Jameson has become a Chelsea fan in full, cheering Chelsea players with excitement as soon as they get the ball, and after switching to Arsenal, he continues to cheer for the Blues.
This made Mortenson angry enough, of course, he was not idle, he was almost doing the same thing as Jameson, holding the gunman to belittle the Blues, just to do it against Jameson!
The two teams played unusually unrestrained on the field, and Mourinho stood on the sidelines, constantly yelling and gesticulating, directing the team in real time. Arsene Wenger, who had been sitting, was also a little unable to sit still as the game time progressed.
He envisioned that if the team had taken a quick lead, then it would be appropriate to recycle a bit and threaten Chelsea's backfield with a counter-attack. But now it seems that this idea is only half successful, that is, the score is ahead, but the team's tactical play is still attack-oriented, and there is a big gap between the defensive counterattack he wanted.
Wenger was not angry, he also saw that the team was "involuntarily", Chelsea's attack was so ferocious, there was a momentum of not giving up without scoring, and it was obvious that he was holding his breath. And Arsenal's defense is constantly compressed, and only the use of attack to make the opponent fearful. This is actually just fighting for a breath, the two sides are fighting so fiercely, no one is willing to weaken the momentum, if Arsenal gives up attacking and turns to defense, the momentum will be overwhelmed by the opponent, and there is no attack to contain, the opponent's attack will become more and more unscrupulous.
Attacking is also a means, a means to achieve one's own ends.
Arsene Wenger understands this, so he can only pray in his heart that his team can score again and completely suppress Chelsea's counterattack!
That temporary balance was upset in the 31st minute of the first half, and to Arsene Wenger's hearten, it was his side who upset the balance, as Arsenal scored again in the battle, wreaking havoc on their opponents.
Chelsea put a lot of pressure on Arsenal in attack, and in turn, Arsenal put a lot of defensive pressure on Chelsea's midfield. And this goal was a mistake made by Chelsea themselves under pressure.
In the 31st minute, after Arsenal's attack was fruitless, they actively counter-attacked in front, Lampard passed the ball back, Gary. Cahill picked up the ball and Sanchez sprinted quickly. Mesut Ozil saw the opportunity quickly and rushed to Terry on the other side, which made Cahill hesitate to pass the football to Terry.
Cahill turned and pushed the ball back in the direction of the goal, but his pass was wrong, and the force of the ball back was a little small, and the agile Sanchez started quickly, went past Cahill's body and slipped the ball out.
'Cahill made a mistake in the return pass!'
"Oh my God, this was a fatal mistake!"
"Single knife! Single-handed! Sanchez faces Courtois head-to-head in the most direct confrontation between striker and goalkeeper! ”
In the screams of the on-site commentators and tens of thousands of fans, Sanchez did not slow down, and rushed to the edge of the penalty area with the ball quickly.
Sanchez didn't choose to shoot hard, he deftly picked up the ball, and the ball flew lightly, past Courtois's block, and also flew over the goal line, and the ball fell straight into the net.
2:0!
Arsenal extended their advantage and took a two-goal lead at home!
