Chapter 566: Contests on the field, games off the field

"It's stupid!"

Wenger, who was standing in the home team's command area, spread out his hands and scolded Toure who had chosen to step forward to defend Shepchenko, obviously very unhappy with his choice.

With Shepchenko's back to the goal and Ailo in front, he should slowly retreat diagonally to the left, so that not only can he block Shepchenko's passing route, but also take into account Shepchenko's direct shot from the direction of the goal.

But Toure chose to rush directly to Shepchenko, who was oncoming to the ball, isn't this equivalent to completely exposing the space behind him? And such an empty moment in the face of Chelsea's front-court attacking combination with the strength to win the championship is absolutely deadly!

Arsene Wenger was right in his guess!

This is very deadly indeed!

Shepchenko slammed his right heel against the ball from Iroh in the midst of Arsene Wenger's curse and slammed it straight into the Arsenal penalty area.

"William!" Almunia shouted in command of Gara to defend forward.

In fact, this does not need a special reminder from the goalkeeper, former Chelsea player Galla has already aimed at Elo, gritted his teeth and accelerated to chase after Ailo at the same time, of course, he is also very careful to protect his opponent's space, because Ailo often likes to smash the ball in the penalty area to shake the angle to hit the goal.

Almunia stood between the small penalty line and the goal line near the right post about 1.5 meters, his feet shaking, and he kept making a save.

Then he aimed at Garra, who was chasing Ello, but this aim made him very helpless, because Gala was still two positions behind Ello, and if he waited until Ello got the ball in the ribs of the right penalty area, there would be more ways to handle the ball, and it would be more difficult to defend!

So...... Almunia chooses to attack!

Of course, he kept yelling, trying to disrupt Iroh's running rhythm.

"Don't ......" Gala soon realized that Iroh wouldn't hit the door at this angle at all, so he reminded Almunia loudly, but ...... It's still late.

Therefore, Gala could only grit her teeth and speed up two steps, wanting to stick to Iro, but ...... The speed of the two is not on the same level at all, and every qiē is in vain.

When Iroh was about a meter away from the football, he glanced up at the attacking goalkeeper, then took a big step forward with his left foot, stepped on the left side of the football, and then swept his right foot over, shooting in a standard run!

Seeing this, Almunia also lowered his center of gravity, paying special attention to his near angle, and his afterglow to his far corner.

But...... But he forgot to protect his most important place, his next three ways!

Why should you protect your next three paths?

Because Iroh's running shot was aimed between the legs of Almunia, who was attacking.

Protecting the near and far corners, Almunia saw that the ball was coming towards his goal, and his legs subconsciously wanted to close, but the forward acceleration of the ball on the sprinkled turf was obviously faster than the speed at which his legs were closed.

The Arsenal fans who saw this scene exclaimed violently, and the expressions on their faces became extremely rich.

Shouldn't we have conceded in the ninth minute?

Fact...... That's it!

"Ai is really the spirit of the football field, full of spirit, he used his left heel to gently kick the ball behind him, so that Flamini and Eboue, who turned back with all their might, did useless...... Shots? No...... Fake shot real buckle! Dangerous, pretty! It's so beautiful! The heel made the ball to Barak behind him...... "Although the radio was mixed with electromagnetic sound, Clive Walker's passionate commentary was not affected, and Uncle John listened as if he were there.

“…… Ballack stopped the ball and picked it back to the previous Ai... Ai did not stop the ball, and the outside of his right foot bounced the ball directly to Shepchenko, who pulled out of the penalty area...... Is Sheva going to take the ball and shoot? No...... Oh my God, heels again! Passed to Ai's forward path and shot!!!!!!!! ”

“gooooooooooooooooal――”

Listening to Clive Walker's voice coming from the radio, Uncle John's unconscious clenched left fist relaxed.

Good little guy!

Then Uncle John looked at the group photo on his desk.

It was a photo of him and his grandson, who was once considered the most talented young player at Chelsea, but God was jealous of the talent, who passed away quietly in a car accident last year, and Iroh was the idol of John's grandson, the only idol!

This secret has been buried in his heart for a long time.

"Tony, your idol scored for you in the London derby......"

※※※

Mourinho listened to the huge exclamation coming from the sky above the Emirates Stadium, and he guessed that Ayro's goal was not far from ten! Really......

Then the cheers from the Chelsea fans raged at the Emirates Stadium!

Scored!

Just as excited as Mourinho was fitness coach Rui Falla, a goal that was entirely the result of Elotongguò's own skill, movement and awareness, and the temperature was between zero and five degrees Celsius, which was a cold day.

Iroh has scored! It means that he has overcome the bad weather in England!! This...... has an inseparable relationship with Tafaria, and it took more than a month of training and persistence to create his current success.

Succeed...... It's not that easy to achieve.

After the goal, Iroh did not celebrate alone, but turned a corner excitedly, bypassing Shepchenko, who was also excited to give an assist, and accelerated to the away team's coach's box!

The director at the Emirates Stadium was very professional and followed Ailo from the moment he scored, and soon Ailo ran to the command area of the visiting team, and behind him was a group of teammates, happily following him.

Iroh was the fastest, and when he saw that Mourinho and Faria were standing together, he simply hugged one with one hand, "Thank you!" ”

Because Iroh is fast and has a strong momentum, the inertia caused by it is naturally large, and Faria, who often conducts physical training, is quite good, but Mourinho is different, he contributes most of his time to the team's skills and tactics, so ...... Mourinho, who was about to lose his center of gravity, was thrown down by Airo on the side of command with Falia.

Then there was the even more inhumane Frank Lampard, John Terry, Ballack and others pressed on it......

"From the start to the finish, although Iroh played the final role, the credit was not just for him, Ballack and Shepchenko played another role in the goal, the strategic transfer and the direct assist...... The offensive cooperation they played this time is even more Arsenal than Arsenal! But it's a pity that so far Arsenal haven't played a good combination in attack......"

Zhan Jun's comments after the goal: "...... Generally speaking, Arsene Wenger's strategy was no problem, and it was the right choice to retreat against a Chelsea squad dominated by Arlo, but he definitely didn't expect the other Chelsea players in Arlo to be in excellent form today......

※※※

In the background of Chelsea's attack were Flamini, Eboue, Toure and Gala, who were like clowns in the work of Arlo, Ballack and Shepchenko......

But the results are still not good.

The score on the field became 0:1

The home team is in the front, the away team is in the back.

With this conceded goal, Arsenal's formation gradually began to move towards the front, and there was quite a rhythm to play against Chelsea.

In normal times, this would never have been possible.

Last season's Chelsea felt like they relied on solid defence and sharp counter-attacks to win games, but with the arrival of Arlo, Chelsea's tactics have become more aggressive and not lagging behind in head-to-head matches, as in this crucial London derby, forcing attacking Arsenal to shrink their defence and wait for an opportunity to attack.

But defense is not everything, so it is normal for Arsenal, who are not good at defense, to concede goals at home.

Facts have proved that only the attacking Arsenal is the real Arsenal, which can make them play 100% or even 120% combat effectiveness, and the gradual premise of the formation allows Rosicky, Cesc Fabregas and Adebayor to find good opportunities, but in this game, Chelsea in addition to the sharp attack in the front, goalkeeper Cech is also in full form, and the high save resisted Arsenal's several shots!

"Pretty Peter! He made every shot from Arsenal go to naught!! ”

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray couldn't help but praise Cech's cousin, but also expressed his concern: "The goal in the opening ten minutes made the Chelsea defence a little lax, and it was Arsenal that gave Arsenal a chance, if they didn't adjust in time, they would be equalized by Arsenal sooner or later......

Before Andy Gray could speak, Mourinho in the command area of the visiting team scolded Essien, who had just made a mistake: "Bison, don't you want to play? If you don't want to end up, just cheer me up!! ”

Jose Mourinho is the kind of manager who solves problems as soon as he sees them, so Chelsea's defenders have been quick to adjust themselves and get the best out of themselves.

As Essien, Ballack, Mikel and others become more and more active in the midfield, Arsenal's attacking space is also rapidly compressed, and Arsenal does not have many attacking players on the field in this game, and the number of troops invested is very limited, and there is no way to put pressure on the solid Chelsea defense.

Wenger shook his head, then turned his head to look at Mourinho, he still looked like he was underbeaten, but he still admired him in his heart, his coaching level was not weaker than his own, and his understanding of tactics was more advanced, and his on-the-spot adaptability was also the top in Europe.

It's like the pressing attack in the last few minutes, if Mourinho had continued to stay on the sidelines and not give warnings to the players on the field, then the score would definitely not be 0:1 now, at least it would have been equalized......

It has to be said that sometimes football games do not only rely on the non-stop struggle and hard work of eleven players on the field, but also require the super temporary adaptability of the team's head coach.

Therefore, the battle of wits and courage of the two head coaches on the sidelines and the strategy are also the key to determining the outcome of a game.

Therefore, this game is not only a direct battle of the 22 players on the field, but also a separate game between Wenger and Mourinho off the field.
