Chapter 567: Mu-style counterattack
Arsenal's attacking strength is limited, which means they have too much defence to mention, while Chelsea have quietly reversed the attack, attacking more and defending less.
So the game between the two sides is normal and it becomes anxious.
Arsene Wenger's current strategy is to defend well, and if there is an opportunity, he will devote himself to attacking, and there is no need to force it if there is no good opportunity, because Chelsea's defensive intensity and hardness are placed here, and there is no way to find openings with only Adebayo, Rosicky and Fabregas, and the number of attacking players must be increased!
But the problem is that there are no other players on the pitch other than Hleb who is a central midfielder, and of course the full-backs are also assists, but this is very risky because Chelsea have Elo......
Therefore, if you want to equalize, you can only wait until the second half to make personnel changes.
As Arsenal became cautious, Chelsea's attack suffered setbacks, especially for Elo, who scored a goal, and was confronted by Flamini and Eboue in attack.
However, the only good thing was that the two relied on the advantage of the home field, and the referee Willy only gave him a warning for each of them and did not give him a yellow card.
Time passes slowly and imperceptibly.
In the 35th minute, Arsene Wenger consciously sent Theo Walcott and Robin van Persie to the warm-up area.
The director of the Emirates Stadium reacted quickly, taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, and gave the camera to the youngsters Walcott and Van Persie in the warm-up area, which immediately aroused the suspicion of the commentators of various countries in the live studio.
"It's only been 35 minutes since the game was played, could it be that Professor Arsene Wenger couldn't stand the performance of the players on the pitch? But the problem is that the eleven starters on the field, except for the goal conceded in the first ten minutes, are very good at other times, so ...... I think it was an adjustment for the second half substitutions. ”
"Oh? Will Arsenal have to make their first substitution of the game before half-time? Was it the injury to the players on the pitch or was Arsene Wenger unhappy with the attacking players on the pitch? ”
“…… Arsenal's defense is still relatively solid so far, which means that Wenger is dissatisfied with the team's attack, and in the face of Chelsea's double gun with a transfer record of Ai and Shepchenko, it is a bit cost-effective to reduce the number of defenders and increase the attacking players, but ...... How it will be adjusted depends on the final arrangement of Professor Arsene Wenger......"
……
Until the whistle blew at the end of the first half, Arsenal made no personnel changes.
At half-time, Walcott followed the team into the dressing room, and it happened that this scene was captured by the camera again.
"Oh? Theo Walcott, who is only 18 years old, follows the team into the dressing room! This is a signal to make personnel adjustments at the beginning of the second half, and it is estimated that Professor Wenger has taken a fancy to the vacancy on the right side of Chelsea's defense, because Ferreira's form has long been inferior to that year, and his speed has always been an important point for him to be criticized, it seems that Wenger in the second half is very ......thoughtful.
※※※
The London derby, which was supposed to be very hot before the game, did not have as many fouls as fans thought, and only used foul tactics when forced to do so.
Maybe for both teams, it's okay to lose, lose? It's not that stage yet!
When the players from both sides entered the dressing room, the home team's players were generally not very emotional, especially Flamini and Eboue, who had made fatal mistakes, and their heads were almost pressed to their chests.
"Mathieu, Emmanuel... If you hammer it down again, your head will be close to your chest! ”
When the players in the home team's dressing room heard Wenger's words, they subconsciously burst into laughter, but soon realized that they couldn't laugh, otherwise they would be easily criticized, so a bunch of dry coughs followed.
Flamini and Eevue lifted their heads up.
"That's right, every player makes mistakes in the game, but it's important to repent when you make mistakes, not to make mistakes again and again! Only by facing your own mistakes head-on will you make long-term progress! Wenger continued.
Both Flamini and Eboue nodded sheepishly before looking at Arsene Wenger.
Arsene Wenger was very happy with the reaction of Flamini and Eboue, this is what he thinks of as a warrior!
Then, he began to lay out the tactics for the second half, and 90 percent of them were for the attack.
At home, he can't afford to lose!
And, to win!
※※※
By the time the Arsenal players entered, the home fans in the stands were singing their team anthem, "hot-stuff"
Nothing can stop us from starting the new season
Wright, Wright, Wright, is a qiē
Let's step into the wonderland that Bergkamp has to offer
Panoble is the light that blooms in our hearts
The Gunners have made Arsenal favourites to win the title
Let's witness how Arsenal show themselves
Come on Arsenal – you are the favourites to win the title
We're tired of hearing us all the time - we're going to score from now on
Arsenal...... Come on Arsenal...... Arsenal
We're going to score from now on!
……
Singing "hot-stuff" over and over again made the Arsenal players who had just walked onto the pitch feel like they had been doped, full of strength.
Walcott stood next to the fourth officer, sometimes throbbing, sometimes stretching, but the look on his face was not nervous, but ...... Excited!
He was replaced by Hleb, who was essentially invisible in the first half.
It was Arsenal who kicked off in the second half, so the fans in the stands chanted "hot-stuff" until the end of the first attack.
With the incredibly fast Theo Walcott on the pitch, Arsenal's formation has also changed, becoming a more inclined four-one-one, or four-two-three-one, Flamini and Eboue, who made mistakes in the first half, continue to partner in the back, Czech international Rosicky sits in the middle, Walcott and Cesc Fabregas are left and right, and Adebayor is at the front.
In order to get the most out of Walcott's speed, Arsene Wenger did not let Walcoat play the more familiar right wing-back, but a left wing-back, attacking Chelsea's right flank.
But as the saying goes, soldiers will cover the water when they come.
Walcott is fast at a young age, and Ferreira is not a soft persimmon to take lightly, and he naturally has his own way of dealing with this kind of speed player.
Because Walcourt is a right-footed player, even if he breaks through Ferreira on the left, he always has to switch the ball to his right foot, which is more time-consuming and labor-intensive, and by the time he adjusts the ball to the right foot, Ferreira has already returned to his defensive position.
So Wenger thought of a solution, that is, Walcoat was responsible for the breakthrough, and Rosicky was responsible for getting close to him, and the attacking style of Tongguò also got a good opportunity, but Adebayo's shooting skills need to be improved, and the ability to seize the opportunity is obviously two or three grades worse than the departing Henry.
In the 53rd minute, Walcourt used his speed on the left to eat Ferreira, the latter was forced to use his hand, but the former sent the ball out before he fell to the ground, Rosicky looked up at Adebayo who was fighting for position in the box, and then sent a precise overhead ball, the ball was basically sent to Adebayo's feet, but he sent the ball to the stands.
Two minutes later, Arsenal's attack was back in action, and with Walcott's record of being eaten raw by a row of pace, Ferreira became more cautious and remained on the same level as the backline.
However, it was still exploited by Arsenal's attack.
This time, Cesc Fabregas's attack did not go this way, but went straight to Adebayor with a long pass, who used his strong body to press Terry to return the ball to Rosicky, and then ran forward to receive it, and Rosicky's through ball was also passed.
However, Adebayo's shooting skills ...... I really don't dare to compliment, the push near the penalty spot was pushed directly by him to the bottom line.
Wenger saw that Bam Adebayo had squandered two great chances in a row, so he let Van Persie and Bendtner continue to warm up in the warm-up area in front of him, regardless of the fact that it was only more than 50 minutes.
※※※
However, Arsene Wenger had yet to make a substitution before Chelsea launched a quick counter-attack.
As the saying goes, don't miss the opportunity and never come again!
Successive wastes of great opportunities will be damned......
As Van Persie stood at the fourth official waiting for a dead-ball substitution, the time on the big screen was 62:16, which was the 62nd minute of the match.
Cesc Fabregaray was forced to the touchline on the right by Ashley Cole, and Mikel followed suit, trying to pinch Cesc Fabregas, who knew that if he didn't pass the ball out, the ball would be broken, so he saw a team-mate in a red shirt pass the ball out.
The 'don't ......' attack pressed into the arc of the Chelsea half, and he watched Ballack who prevented Cesc Fabregas from passing the ball to him, and subconsciously shouted, but before he could finish speaking, Fabregas passed the ball under pressure from Ashley Cole and Mikel.
Ballack saw Cesc Fabregas's passing route, increased his speed, stretched his long legs, and broke the ball, Flamini subconsciously completed the turn to the right and rushed to Ballack, who had the ball.
How could Barak not know Flamini's thoughts? So there was no sticky ball at his feet, and when he looked up and saw the retreating Iro, he poked the ball without hesitation.
Chrissy knows the danger of getting the ball in Eyroh, so he rushes straight at Eyroh in order to keep the ball in place!
But would Iroh let him do it?
No!
Iello made an initiative to meet the ball forward, forcing Klich to move forward faster, but what he didn't notice was that center Shepchenko had pulled out the open space and was ready to pick up Iro, a standard two-by-one position.
Gala also failed to keep an eye on Shepchenko, who suddenly retreated, at this time, so he could only remind Christ loudly: "Gail, be careful of the space behind you!" ”
At that moment, Iello made the ball with the arch of his right foot to pull out Shepchenko while facing the football, and then he made a turn of about two meters to the right back in order to avoid Klich's targeted foul.
Chrissy wanted to foul, but he couldn't help but get too far away from Ielloh, so he had to wait until the inertia was over and turn around to chase after him.
Shepchenko made a 180-degree turn of his own face in the face of the incoming ball, from his back to the goal to his current frontal facing goal, and then crossed the ball with the arch of his right foot towards the rib space left by Galla and Klich.
Mourinho, who was standing in the command area of the away team, subconsciously clenched his fists, which was his typical Mourinho counterattack!
PS: Ask for a ticket!
