Chapter 325: The penalty is woody
"Didier, Didier has grabbed the position, alas, it's a little bigger."
"Drogba header! It's high! ”
"No. 11 is stuck, give it!"
…
The incessant roars were all caused by Drogba, and Arsenal's defense was a mess by Andy Lau in Africa. As Chelsea's bridgehead and Arsenal's nemesis, there is no reason why Hiddink would give up on his big killer.
From the start of the second half, Chelsea focused on this point, constantly raising high balls and crossings for Drogba to charge.
Sure enough, under the deterrence of Warcraft, Arsenal's defense line is in jeopardy, and the aging Sylvester has suffered losses in the confrontation, if it weren't for the outstanding performance of Fabianski, who celebrated his birthday today, Arsenal's door is likely to have been lost.
But even so, Arsenal is still in danger and does not take the initiative at all.
In midfield, although Wenger emphasizes fast delivery, there are no holes in the Chelsea defence, and Arsenal's passing is not threatening, so what should be intercepted is still intercepted, and what should be crushed is still crushed.
At best, Chelsea's pressing was less pronounced, but the passivity on the pitch remained the same.
Arsene Wenger seemed rather eager, constantly walking back and forth on the sidelines, seeking change.
Guus Hiddink, on the other hand, was not able to sit quietly in the dugout, although Chelsea took the initiative on the field, but after all, the score was 1-0 down. The advantage on the field cannot be turned into a victory, saying nothing.
The game is fading little by little, lively but not exciting.
"Arsenal's attack can't play, it's easier to handle the ball, and Chelsea only rely on Drogba's impact, the routine is single, this game is somewhat inspiring, and the managers on both sides should have more changes."
Seeing that the game was about to enter 70 minutes, but the score was still 1-0, Lineker was a little anxious.
I don't know if Lineker's chanting had an effect, but in the 70th minute of the game, Hiddink took the lead in making a change, replacing the inactive former Arsenal veteran Anelka and replacing Kalou.
'Chelsea are also tired of the endless tussle with Arsenal and need to increase the pace of attack up front.
Seeing this substitution, Mortenson decisively made a prediction.
"Well, it should be like this, although they suppressed Arsenal on the field, they were never able to play effectively, and Drogba's impact alone had no effect. Considering the placement of two attacking strikers next to Drogba is to add a second point of attacking power. ”
Lineker is not dry, and quickly understood Hiddink's tactical purpose, and at the same time shifted his eyes to Wenger, "What will Wenger do now, in the second half, although they sacrificed some possession, but the efficiency of the attack has not improved, this situation is very unfavorable to them, Chelsea may change the score at any time." ”
I don't know if the two managers listened to him today, or what's wrong, Lineker's voice has not fallen, and Wenger has also made his own substitutions.
In the same forward position, Van Persie, who had little chance today, was withdrawn and replaced by Arshavin, while Bendtner was pulled into the middle and used as a high post.
Similar to Hiddink's style of play, it is the idea of one high match and two fast. However, Hiddink is more focused on one high, Drogba has always been a strong point in Chelsea's attack, the two wings are fast Makalau and Malouda waiting for opportunities to find opportunities, Hiddink wants to be high.
Arsene Wenger, on the other hand, emphasizes the two fast, Arshavin and Walcoat are Arsenal's two daggers, the murderous dagger, and the person who sent the dagger is in the midfield-Cesc Fabregas, walking on the ground.
The last 20 minutes are up to who wins the game.
In the 74th minute of the game, Chelsea's side saw the splash first.
Ballack made a long pass from the backfield, Drogba and Sylvestre competed for position, and suddenly went around and bypassed him directly.
The French were surrounded by him, and they could only follow Drogba stubbornly, and the Africans fell to the ground.
"Oh, penalties, penalties!"
"Drogba is down in the box!"
"Let's take a penalty, Sylvestre is suspected of pulling people!"
…
All the cameras are focused on Foy's body to see how he decides.
"No penalties! Foy's gesture indicates that there are no penalties! ”
"He motioned for Drogba to get up, no penalty!"
'The Chelsea players are quit and you see, Ballack is complaining to the referee.
"Looking at the slow motion of the ball again, Sylvester did have action in his hands, and Foy didn't give a penalty."
"Drogba's fall was a little too easy, and the referee probably didn't think that the pull was enough to make Drogba fall so hard."
…
The controversy continued, with Foy's decision, slow-motion replays, and all sorts of comments coming out one after another, with most people still leaning towards the penalty as it should be.
While Drogba's fall was a bit exaggerated, Silvestre's pull was absolutely present, which was the basis for their belief that penalties existed, and naturally the reason for the dissatisfaction of Chelsea fans.
"Shhh
"Black Whistle!"
"Damn, you hacked our penalty!"
"How much money did Wenger give, bastard!"
…
In the stands, all the Chelsea fans cursed, and at the same time, I don't know how many people's remote control and mouse were doomed, and the scolding continued for a long time.
Hiddink immediately went to the fourth official to seek an explanation.
Obviously, though, this explanation doesn't work, as it's the referee who makes the decision.
After a minute of commotion, everything fell silent, Terry and others had to accept the reality of no penalty, and Hiddink reluctantly retreated to his coach's box. The game resumes.
Arsene Wenger signalled his players to drop back and defend with all their might, knowing that there would be a fierce comeback from Chelsea in the final moments.
Having been wronged, the Chelsea players were unwilling, one goal behind, and had to chase it back, so naturally wave after wave of attacks were set off.
In the 80th minute, Drogba's header was crossed, and Kalaw's powerless header was confiscated by Fabianski.
In the 82nd minute, it was Didier Drogba's header that was deflected to Ivan at the back post, but the latter's half-volley from the edge of the box grazed the crossbar.
In the 86th minute, Frank Lampard made a tackle in front, Drogba passed through, Malouda hesitated for offside, and Fabianski came out to get the ball.
…
In the final stretch, Chelsea were all under pressure on Arsenal, with a staggering 79 per cent to 21 per cent possession.
"Hao, I'm a little nervous." Wilshere nervously took Xiang Hao's hand, looking uneasy.
As the end of the game approached, Chelsea's cannibalistic posture grew more and more fierce, and Arsenal's defence was in jeopardy, and no one knew if this tenacious Chelsea team would pull off a miracle.
