Chapter 410: Lost Victory
"Tick-tick-tick!"
Dodd whistles at both ends, 4-1.
In the second half, Arsenal took advantage of the defensive counter-attack and scored through Vela to recover a goal.
However, Toure's own goal and Nicolas Anelka's powerful shot from outside the box sealed Chelsea with a big win at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal suffered a big defeat at the climax, which was also the first rout of Xiang Hao's career.
"This game is completely Chelsea's encirclement of Arsenal, the gap, the real gap, the huge gap."
After the game, Lineker summed up the game and used the word 'gap' three times in a row.
The disappointment and dissatisfaction with Arsenal is palpable.
Not only Lineker, but even half of the factory secret, a whole Haomi's Motensen also shook his head many times during the game.
After the second half, the shake was more diligent. Apparently the old man was unhappy with Arsene Wenger's half-time adjustment...
"It's like an adult bullying a child, and the performance of the Chelsea players today gave Arsenal a hard memory.
They are far from enjoying the game, they can rotate their lineup, but they can't rotate that difficult heart.
Otherwise, it will be difficult for Arsenal to go further.
Maintaining a competitive cautious heart at all times is the motivation to keep winning.
Without this, Arsenal will be too self-righteous and underestimate the difficulties if they want to rise again, and it will be incredibly long. ”
Mortensen pointed out the crux of Arsenal's mentality in this game - losing his sense of difficulty, and his tone changed and fell on Xiang Hao, "Hao's performance today is also very disappointing."
Arsene Wenger was unlikely to give up control of the midfield, as evidenced by Arsenal's pressure on the ball in midfield in the second half, and Arsene Wenger wanted to regain control of the midfield.
It's a pity that Hao's pace today has never been able to keep up with Ballack, Essien and others, and the midfield is completely unbalanced, which is an important reason why the score is 1-4.
It's the first time for Hao to live up to the coach's tactical arrangement and make people so disappointed, and I hope it's just because of his tired body, not because of the breath in his heart.
Arsenal and Hao still have a long way to go, they can't be careless. ”
In the summary of expectations, although Mortensen blamed Arsenal and Xiang Hao, he still maintained that confidence in them in his heart.
He won't be like some people, just staring at the score.
That's not what he's going to do, that's the people, the fans, or the fans who just watch the results to measure everything by that.
He can still maintain the basic trust in what he identifies with.
And as if echoing Mortenson, the final picture of the scene also stayed on Xiang Hao's body...
"Huh, your sister is really not human."
Watching the Chelsea players rush the whole game, but they still looked excited, shouting with the fans, the bitter Xiang Hao had to shake his head.
The Iron Army is worthy of the Iron Army.
Strength, will, tenacity...
It is no wonder that this team was able to pull Arsenal and Manchester United off the throne, and in their twilight years, they still miraculously reached the Champions League.
The stubbornness in the bones is indeed terrifying, not inferior to Manchester United's demonic nature, absolutely difficult to gnaw bones, and the existence that can make people have a toothache.
Looking at the Chelsea players and fans celebrating like winning the championship, Xiang Hao, who was physically and mentally exhausted, shook his head and simply waved at his fans, and Xiang Hao retreated from the field with his teammates.
Although this game was a tacit goal, the loss of 1-4 was still a little frustrating for the Arsenal players.
The defeat against Chelsea was definitely a blow to the Arsenal crowd.
The Arsenal players were suddenly woken up from the fluttering state that had been blown by the media.
The current Arsenal, whether it is the thickness of the squad or the strength on paper, is still far behind Chelsea.
Arsenal are definitely not invincible!
After this defeat, the Arsenal players finally realized it.
And this can be regarded as the only consolation after Wenger's game, I hope this defeat can make Arsenal conscious of the existence of problems.
At present, there is a kind of 'hedonistic' mentality permeated by the whole Arsenal now, underestimating or even ignoring the difficulties faced by the team.
So far in the new year, Arsenal have not encountered any obvious passivity.
Although Arsenal faced Chelsea in the FA Cup and Liverpool in the league before, Arsenal was comprehensively behind, but after all, they have not lost.
The Arsenal players slowly became a little paralyzed in their hearts, and those two games were played in Xiang Hao's absence.
This paralysis in the hearts of the Arsenal players began to grow up unconsciously.
In the game against Manchester United, Arsenal went smoothly and advanced to the Champions League final, and the great joy covered up Arsenal's passivity on the field.
Not only the Arsenal players, but also the Arsenal fans, feel that the revival of Arsenal is imminent, and there is no sense of difficulty.
Ignoring the opponent, ignoring the status quo, just blindly asking to enjoy the game, just to have the pleasure of playing.
It can't be said that it is an unreasonable request, it can only be said that it is an unrealistic idea, divorced from the actual idea of their team.
Even Wenger, subconsciously, has a big idea, so he will arrange the lineup like this in this game.
Arsenal were not aware of the problem, which led to this game, Arsenal was unstoppably defeated on the pitch, losing to Chelsea by a large score.
It doesn't feel like it's a rotation, it's a game abandonment.
When the old man shook hands with Hiddink, he was already aware of the existence of the problem, and to put it mildly, he was woken up.
He also hopes that the players can also reflect on it.
Therefore, in the post-match press conference, Wenger rarely did not defend his teammates, did not play Tai Chi...
'Chelsea did better than us today, they played unbelievably well.
…
The last time they played each other was completely different, maybe the Champions League exit gave them more motivation, but overall it was their quality.
…
Chelsea have the quality to reach the final, there is no doubt about it, and I am confident that they will be able to perform better in this competition. ”
It was a tribute to Chelsea and when asked how he would rate his team's performance today, Arsene Wenger was unusually stern...
'We played badly, you can see we played against the other day, it wasn't a team, they didn't deserve to take points, the defeat was a punishment.
…
I can't simply say that the rotation is due to the rotation of the lineup, there are some players who also play, but they also perform badly, which is not a reason, some of them are unreasonable.
…
We need to rotate the squad but to keep the focus on the game and we can't afford to lose it, unfortunately we didn't do it today, we lost the chase for purpose.
…
It's a lesson and we can't afford to let go of that nerve in our hearts, especially at the end of the season, which can be a fatal mistake and we have to adjust. ”
