Chapter 112: The tip of the needle is against the wheat
"We understand !!"
In the face of Arsene Wenger's command to 'keep the ball at our feet', the whole Arsenal team replied with a rainbow of air.
Compared with Chelsea's undercurrent in the dressing room, under Wenger's control, Arsenal's dressing room has been quite stable.
This is the biggest difference between Arsenal and Chelsea, Arsenal's team is actually in the hands of Arsene Wenger, as long as the old man does not fall, Arsenal will not be too messy.
Chelsea is different, Abu is high, he can influence this team at any time, whether it is a coach or a player, in his eyes, it is not a thing.
And even the locker room under him is full of bigwigs, such bigwigs can carry the team in many games, but it is under a coach who can be accepted by everyone.
If they can't, what awaits them will be self-destruction. At the moment, it seems that this Chelsea team is doing well under Scolari.
Because, they are now the same as Liverpool, with 32 points, 11 points ahead of Arsenal and at the top of the table.
Although there are still many people who are not optimistic that Chelsea can win the Premier League championship, but against Arsenal, such a points gap, and at home, made most people choose to vote for Chelsea, including Xiang Hao's number one 'Hao Mi', Mortensen.
'Overall, in this game, as long as the Chelsea players play at their level and there is no mess, I think they won't have any problem winning Arsenal.
Especially Drogba's return to this game after nearly a month of rest, and the return of Arsenal's nemesis, is simply a disaster for Arsenal.
Julu, who replaced Galla, may not be better than his compatriot Senderos, coupled with Anelka's speed, height, and impact, Arsenal can keep a draw in this game, which should be a more realistic goal.
This is a naked gap in strength, I am afraid that in a short period of time, it will be difficult for Arsenal to catch up, and Wenger has too much to do. ”
"Hey, John, it's rare, you don't think well of Arsenal."
Lineker is going to debate with Mortenson in this game, after all, he lost twice, and Lineker wants to get it back.
It's a pity, I didn't expect that this time my predecessors were highly consistent with myself, and I was also optimistic about Chelsea.
Lineker was a little disappointed, but also a little curious, "John, do you think Arsenal has a chance to win this game?" How exactly should they do it? ”
Mortensen is really not optimistic about his 'home team', and at the beginning of the season, he felt that Arsenal's strength was not as good as last season, let alone compared with the unbeaten division.
However, Mortensen would not think that Arsenal have the slightest chance of winning.
Competitive games are like that, they are always unpredictable, especially in football, it's not just a matter of technique, but also of will and luck, which also accounts for a lot of weight, sometimes heavier.
Therefore, he will not rule out the possibility of Arsenal winning, he is optimistic about Chelsea, but it is simply a difference in quality.
'It's hard unless Arsenal can keep the ball at their feet, but even then Arsenal could be counter-attacked by Chelsea.
What Arsenal can do is not to concede goals in front of the court as much as possible, so as to avoid exposing Arsenal's midfield and backfield directly in front of Chelsea.
Limiting Drogba is perhaps Arsenal's most effective defensive tool, and although they have done a terrible job before, they have to stop doing it.
Don't make mistakes up front, hold on to the back, don't make Arsenal's midfield look too weak, maybe Arsenal can still have the possibility of winning. ”
Mortenson spoke his mind, but avoided Lineker's gaze.
Lineker also heard that Mortenson was secretly setting up a game for Xiang Hao to solve the dilemma.
Mortensen said this because he wanted to help Xiang Hao and properly guide the pressure on him to the other Arsenal players.
If Arsenal loses, it is better to prepare water for him and wash up after the game.
Lineker didn't expect Mortensen's 'affection' for Xiang Hao to be so deep, but he didn't debunk it, after all, Lineker has a good impression of Xiang Hao.
Indeed, in this game, the test for Xiang Hao is definitely not small, not only on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end, Xiang Hao needs to have an absolutely superior performance.
Once Xiang Hao is on the offensive line and cannot renew the power for Arsenal, according to the Chelsea defensive five, No. 1 Cech; No. 17 Bosingwa, No. 2 Ivanovic, No. 26 Terry, No. 3 Ashley. Cole's configuration.
Arsenal's midfield, with Cesc Fabregas, Robin van Persie, Bendtner and Theo Walcott, will struggle to break down Chelsea's defence.
And in the backfield, if Xiang Hao is at this pass, he is easily passed by the combination of Drogba and Anelka.
Arsenal's backfield: Sagna, Toure, Djorou, Klich, also uncontrollable.
Therefore, Arsenal's two back midfielders, Xiang Hao and Denilson, will be the key to Arsenal's game, especially Xiang Hao, who must take into account both offense and defense.
Because Denilson has proven in the past games that Xiang Hao is the indispensable player.
In this London derby, almost everyone's eyes were on Xiang Hao.
"Hey, boy, I heard you taught your former teammates a lesson."
Holding his hand, a cool face suddenly cracked into a smile, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth, Xiang Hao was a little uncomfortable.
This African monster doesn't have a hideous appearance, it looks a little heroic, of course, the manly spirit can't be concealed.
"Well, that guy is far worse than you."
The other party looks arrogant and dry, Xiang Hao naturally doesn't need to be modest, and don't be polite when communicating with such an upright person.
Xiang Hao nodded and told the truth.
Indeed, although Adebayo is known as a little monster, in terms of impact and deterrence, Drogba completely exploded Adebayo.
The only thing he can do is that his technique will be slightly better than Drogba's.
But whether it is an achievement, Drogba is a palace-level striker, and Adebayo is only one of the good strikers, not a little bit worse.
Drogba heard Xiang Hao's calm but cool answer, which made him feel good, such a direct and unpretentious player, he likes it.
Drogba couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hehe, I'll pay attention to myself, I won't show mercy." ”
Xiang Hao also had a good impression of this African man, and at the same time had a hint of fighting spirit, he looked at Drogba calmly and said, "I will also say this to you." ”
Although this monster is not against himself, Chelsea is undoubtedly going to play a forced game, the pace is faster, and Drogba's impact point will naturally fall on him.
The confrontation with this monster is absolutely indispensable.
Xiang Hao understands this very well, so even before the start of the game, Xiang Hao will not let himself gain momentum and lose to the other party.
To compete with such a striker with strong impact and deterrence, the most important thing is not to be weaker than the opponent in momentum.
Once the momentum is overwhelmed by the other party, then Xiang Hao's Senderos, who left Milan City, will be the end.
You must know that the Swiss is Adams who is pinned on by Arsenal.
It's a pity that once I met Ade, I was mistaken for life and was exploded by all kinds of explosions.
Xiang Hao didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the Swiss, so he was naturally awe-inspiring, glanced at Drogba, and shook hands with the next team member.
"Interesting."
Looking at Xiang Hao's stubborn gaze, Drogba couldn't help but say a word, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was put away, and it was more of a cruel smile.
Xiang Hao didn't look at Drogba much, but he also saw the cruel smile, and it was even more rigid.
"Boy, you'll be careful when you stay by yourself."
Cold and even a little fierce, the German Barak, with an extremely hard facial contour, even speaks with a kind of coldness.
Although he was a little unhappy with his head coach, the German's strict discipline still made him unconditionally obey his boss's arrangement, and glanced at Xiang Hao with warning.
"Hmph, if you can hold the ball, let's talk about it."
Since the other party was not polite, Xiang Hao didn't need to be polite, he snorted arrogantly, and walked directly past him.
Ballack didn't talk much, not even his eyes changed, the player's Ballack prefers to speak with his actions on the field.
and Chelsea's Premier League three old Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole, and Terry, shake hands one by one.
Although they didn't 'warn' themselves with words like Barak, that kind of gaze with a lot of doubts still made Xiang Hao very unhappy.
Especially Ashley Cole, that kind of contemptuous look, even more arrogant than Barak.
Ashley Cole is not only Xiang Hao alone, in fact, he really doesn't look down on the Arsenal team.
In his opinion, Arsenal has begun to decline since he left, and he is fortunate to have left early, otherwise he would have struggled with these young people and lived a career that is not as good as day by day.
It was so cheap that Ashley Cole felt that his decision that day was brilliant and he went ashore early.
Looking at the children in front of him, even with a somewhat immature demeanor, Ashley Cole, who was glad for the rest of his life, couldn't help but look at his former mentor Wenger.
Looking at Wenger at this time, he is older than before, and his silent appearance makes people feel helpless, and he does not have the same spirit as a few years ago.
It's only been a few years, and the elegant demeanor of the past has replaced the sense of depression and old age.
Seeing this scene, Ashley Cole couldn't help but sigh a little, and couldn't help but look at Anelka, his former teammate and current teammate, and I don't know what this kid thinks now.
No matter what he thinks, Anelka only has expectations, compared to Xiang Hao's expectations.
In January, Anelka and Bolton fell out, and Anelka wanted to stay in the Premier League, so he took the initiative to contact his former mentor Arsene Wenger, who single-handedly brought him out.
However, he was rejected by his arguments that he had enough strikers and a complete type, leaving Anelka disappointed and disappointed.
When he arrived at Chelsea, he was asked to huddle on the wing, which also made him depressed.
Thankfully, this season Jose Mourinho left and he was able to return to the middle of the pitch, everything changed for him and he started to feel like again.
On the other hand, his old club, the striker is injured, and the departure is not as good as the day.
Although Anelka is not yet in the trap, there is always a sense of superiority.
In this game, Anelka just wants to make his teacher completely sober.
Leaving does not mean the end, since you can't let yourself continue the front edge, then you have to stab yourself again, so that you can't forget yourself.
