Chapter 326: Big Win Over Arsenal!! (1)
Chelsea kick off first in the second half.
Icelander Edul. Goodjanssen stood in the centre circle and played the ball to Alkin next to him. Robben, running straight ahead, Altyn. Robben took control of the ball slightly and turned it back to Wang Li behind him.
After receiving the ball, Wang Li did not choose to take or pass the ball directly, but let the football stick to his feet for a while, waiting for his teammates to approach the front, and the players of the two teams crossed their positions before slowly dribbling forward - which even made many Arsenal fans in the audience think that they were delaying time.
But in fact, this is just to make the 'zone attack tactics' play a smooth coordination, if the opening is a quick attack, Robben and Duff and others are behind Wang Li, then it becomes a heads-up, not a tactic.
When Wang Li dribbled the ball past the halfway line, he was intercepted by Arsenal's young defender Flamini. In the first half of the game, the young player who was given high hopes by Wenger has been shaken by Wang Li countless times, and in the face of Wang Li's attack with the ball, Flamini felt a little bit in his heart, but despite this, he had to bite the bullet to grab the ball.
But surprisingly, Wang Li did not choose to pass directly this time, he did not waste time, and quickly transferred the ball to the left side.
When Altyn. By the time Robben received the pass, most of the Chelsea players were already in position and the game was in full shape, Gudjanssen had run into the opposition's penalty area, ready to look for opportunities to shake off defenders to create chances, and the corresponding Duff, Lampard and others were already in front, and the four formed a four-cornered diamond position on the flanks of the middle.
This is just the general framework of the zone defense tactics, and before they are coordinated, this kind of positioning and running will keep Wang Li in the middle of the diamond shape, whether it is passing and receiving the ball or dribbling the ball alone, and the options become more and more.
Of course, it is impossible to maintain a regular position in the real game, and Chelsea's attack cannot always be initiated by 5 people, even if the offensive ability of other players is relatively weak, but it can still have some effect on Chelsea's offensive, that is to say, this position is only the general formation before the attack, just like when the two armies face off, a better formation can also have an effect on the victory or defeat, but when it comes to the real battle, the formation is difficult to maintain.
As the offensive core of the team, Wang Li will certainly not impulsively rely on a momentum to attack, now Arsenal's formation has not been opened, even if it is difficult for the opponent to crack the 'area attack tactics', but with this tactic will not be invincible, at least when the opponent uses dense crowd tactics, no matter how subtle the coordination will become very weak.
So, just past the midline, Wang Li and Altyn . Robben and the two played each other's passes, and the two completed 3 consecutive passes to each other, and there seemed to be no forward attack, in this process, Arsenal's midfielder was unable to steal, especially Flamini was the most depressed, he has been standing by Wang Li's side, but every time he can only watch Wang Li stand in front of him to receive the ball, no matter how he is stuck is completely useless.
This made Flamini feel very powerless, and if someone had told him before, 'Your defense is going to be useless for Allen', he would have refuted it unconvincingly and dismissed it, but now it was clear to him that the name of genius he had in North London was really worthless compared to the brunette boy next to him.
Don't think that Chelsea's attacking style is only fast attack, in fact, with the big names in the stars, positional battles are the best option. Arsenal, on the other hand, is the complete opposite, although their players are also very good, but there are still too many young players, and if you play positional battles, the probability of mistakes of these young players will increase dramatically, so compared to Chelsea, Arsenal are a little worse in this regard.
In such a pass, Arsenal's formation was also pulled apart little by little.
In fact, one of the reasons why Arsenal are not good at defending is that their players are very attacking, so when they see Chelsea constantly falling in the middle, some players want to steal and play a counter-attack, which is a normal idea, but it also creates opportunities for Chelsea's attack.
Just when Pire and Fabregas greeted Wang Li left and right, and were about to have a two-fold clip, Wang Li, who was taking the ball twice with his right foot, suddenly moved!
He kicked the ball towards Damien on the right. Duff then took a slight step to flash past Pire and Cesc Fabregas, and when he reached the edge of the penalty area, he also happened to receive a pass from Duff.
It was too late, it was too fast, and the whole process was only 3 or 4 seconds, but Pire and Cesc Fabregas had been left behind him.
Arsenal's defense is not intensive, but at the beginning, Chelsea put on a big attacking appearance, so almost all the players except Henry are also in the backfield, although the formation is a little wider, but in fact it is still very dense, especially in the middle of Wang Li, it is even more focused - just past the defense of Pire and Cesc Fabregas, Campbell met again.
Wang Li looked at Arsenal's penalty area, and felt a little depressed, although it was difficult for Campbell to steal his ball, but you must know that there are three people behind him: Pire, Fabregas, and Flamini!
In desperation, he could only pass the ball to Damien again. Duff immediately slashed diagonally to the right, intending to shake off the Arsenal players who were following him to defend.
Because Arsenal's defense is very tight, Wang Li has been constantly sitting with his teammates to pass and receive the ball, intending to find opportunities to tear apart the opponent's defense, so that Arsenal has a strange picture in the half, a black-haired and black-clad kid, running disorderly in the Arsenal half, the football can always pass to his feet, and there are always 2 or 3 Arsenal players behind him.
This reversal made the Arsenal players anxious, and even many Arsenal fans in the stands thought that the black-haired boy on the field was deliberately playing tricks on Arsenal, which made the Arsenal supporters on and off the field angry, so under the boos of the audience, Pire and Toure gave Wang Li a flying tackle who had just received the pass!!
After taking Lingbo's slight steps and easily dodging their black feet, Wang Li finally found a hole - because Toure was in a hurry to steal, the defense on the left side was relatively weak, which made Altyn . Robben had a relatively relaxed space.
Wang Li looked to the right, but kept kicking the ball towards Alkin. Arjen Robben, who was a very fast pass, leaped over 20 metres and feasted the eyes of the Blues fans on their feet.
But the best is yet to come!
Altun. Robben didn't catch the ball at all, he was like a wall, and with a push of his left foot, the ball rolled towards an open space in the direction of the penalty area.
"Oh, he's lost ...... Dangerous!! ”
The on-site commentator watched the pass and reflexively wanted to laugh at Chelsea's mistake, but immediately choked the words in his throat and turned to shock. Chelsea don't know how many times they've played that pass in the past, and every time the brunette gets on the ball, this time the position is even more dangerous.
Sure enough, the commentator was still very 'prescient', and in the next second, Wang Li had already appeared in front of the ball, picked up his right foot and volleyed vigorously against the ball!
“gooooooooooooooal!!”
"The ball is in!! The ball went in, the ball went in!! In the second minute of the second half, Chelsea scored another goal, and the goal was scored by No. 21 teenager Wang Li, which is so beautiful!! The commentator of the imperial court station spared no effort to shout.
It was also his 35th Premier League goal of the season, and it broke Alain. Shearer's record of 34 goals in a single season in the Premier League, oh my God, the league is not yet halfway through, Wang Li is really good, there is no doubt that with this record, he will leave a deep mark on the Premier League record!! ”
"Now that the Premier League is only in its 17th round, I don't know how many goals he can score this season, will he create a statistic that has never been seen before!? I think everybody is looking forward to that, at least this season, and the record he has set can only be broken by himself. ”
After scoring the very symbolic goal, Wang Li happily ran to the dugout and gave coach Jose Mourinho a long hug.
Although in Wang Li's opinion, his goals are entirely due to his own ability, but undoubtedly, the Portuguese's endless trust in him is also very important, and the offensive tactics in this game are completely built around him, how can he not be grateful for this kind of coach who values him!?
The media from various countries at the scene took pictures of this scene, and no matter from which point of view, this photo is very meaningful.
After hugging Mourinho, Wang Li also hugged each other with the assistant coach and various teammates, this record-breaking goal is really meaningful, which makes Chelsea's teammates who have been giggling also solemnly hugging Wang Li to congratulate him.
At this time, looking at the overjoyed brunette boy on the field, the Arsenal fans in the stadium began to struggle again.
In last season, many media broke the news that Wang Li used to be a very loyal Arsenal fan, and when he turned to Wolverhampton, these Arsenal fans didn't feel anything, in fact, although Wang Li played very well at that time, he was not very famous, and he could only be said to be a rising star in England, but since the Arsenal vs Wolverhampton game, the attitude of Arsenal fans has changed immediately, on the one hand, they feel resentful of Wang Li's humiliating goal in Highbury, On the other hand, it is also annoyed by Arsenal's youth team management.
And now, as they watched the brunette on the pitch score a brace in Highbury and score the symbolic 35th Premier League goal, their hearts were even more conflicted.
How can it not be sad that such a goal-scoring machine-like player turned his head to the rival team because of Arsenal's disapproval!?
Now, the Arsenal team has obviously become a foil, even the referee on the field has given Chelsea time to celebrate by default, and many reporters outside the stadium even wanted to rush into the field to cover the news, only to be stopped by a large group of police.
"Alan, congratulations!"
At this time, the Arsenal team had a good relationship with Wang Li. Cole and Cesc Fabregas also ran over to hug Wang Li and congratulate him on breaking the record, although they didn't want the ball to happen again in Highbury, but they still sincerely congratulated their good friends on breaking the record with their strength.
However, this is really not the right time to do something too ostentatious to celebrate, waiting for Wang Li and Ashley. After Kerr said a few more words, the referee began urging them to return to the court and continue the game.
……… Arsene Wenger, the boss in the Arsenal dugout, frowned, he wasn't bothered by Wang Li's record breaking in Highbury, in fact, he just glanced at Chelsea as he celebrated, not to heart, and for the Frenchman, thinking about the game is all that matters.
At this time, Wenger was thinking back to the whole process of Chelsea's attack just now, it looked like they were playing a positional battle, and the brunette boy was the heart of the team's attack, but Wenger always felt that things were not so simple.
But no matter what he thinks, now the score on the field has become 1:3, Arsenal is two goals behind, and if they want to win, there is only one way to go, so Wenger walked to the sidelines, waved his hands, and it was obvious that Arsenal was going to attack at any cost.
Now Arsenal are two goals behind and the game is only half-time, so you have to do that if you want to equalise or even overtake.
At this time, Mourinho in the Chelsea dugout also stood up, he walked to the sideline, pressed down with both hands, signaled the team to stabilize the defense, and then seek to attack, in fact, the Portuguese was very satisfied with the score at this time, and the score was 1:3 between Highbury and Arsenal, even the super giants should be quite satisfied.
With the two managers on the spot, the format on the pitch changed abruptly, with Chelsea's overall formation rubbing back, while Arsenal were under pressure and had the momentum to attack the city in one fell swoop.
But everyone knows that the situation is not as favorable to Arsenal as it is on the field, because in the middle of the pitch, the brunette has been wandering there trying to find a chance to counterattack, as long as Arsenal has a mistake, it must be a good opportunity for Chelsea, in the case of two goals behind, Arsenal's defense has given up most of it, at this time, trying to defend Chelsea's counterattack, especially the brunette boy's counterattack, has become extremely difficult.
On the pitch, Arsenal's left side of the ball Pire staged a one-yard long-distance run, using skillful and practical footwork to get past Damien. Duff, this time the pass is very ingenious, when Duff stepped forward, Piret only stepped on a bicycle and directly changed direction to break fast, which caught Duff a little off guard, and then turned around but could not keep up with Pire's footsteps.
Crossing Damien. After Duff's defense, Paul was in charge of the defense. Ferreira also posted it, Ferreira is very experienced, he did not steal directly, but followed Pire's dribbling to stick to him, not allowing him to have a chance to pass, in the physical confrontation between the two, Pireir has already reached the bottom line with the ball, and the ball is about to go out of bounds.
But in the hurry, Piret was very calm, he put his left foot on the ball, pulled back past Ferreira's tackle, and instead hoisted the ball high in the direction of the penalty area.
There were a lot of people in the box, but Henry still struggled to squeeze through the defenders, and in the imbalance of his body, he made a rush to the top left corner of the goal. Petr Cech was so engrossed in his eyes that he focused most of his eyes on Thierry Henry, only to react and lift the ball out of the woodwork with one hand, while also causing the Arsenal fans in the audience to cry out for pity.
Arsenal's corner.
Antonio. Reyes walked to the corner flagpole to take the corner. At the 2003 World Youth Championships in the United Arab Emirates, Reyes and Torres were the two biggest names, although Spain lost 0-1 to Brazil in the final, but the name of "Spanish Gemini" at that time overshadowed any player in the champion Brazil team, and it was logical to be selected for the national team. This made Reyes famous.
Although his performances at Arsenal this season were considered by many fans to be a failed transfer, his footwork was unquestionable, and even the team's usually loud-mouthed and pretentious Pire verbally claimed that his long-range passing was not as accurate as Reyes.
Under everyone's gaze, Reyes jumped on the spot a few times, and at the referee's motion, he took two steps back, picked up his right foot in rhythm, and smothered directly on the lower edge of the football - the ball slashed through the air in a dazzling arc and flew to the back point.
Back point, Campbell's location!!
Among England's main defenders, two big players, Campbell, John. John Terry is considered by fans to be more offensive than defensive, and one of the reasons for this is their set-pieces and headers.
Saul. Campbell is 188cm tall, just 30 years old this year, and he is already on the verge of declining at the age of 30 in football, but as a defender, this is still an old and strong age. Gallas fell to the ground and jumped up to head the ferry!!
Under the watchful eyes of the fans, the football turned at an angle towards the goal, and Chelsea goalkeeper Peter. Cech didn't have time to react.
"Ball in ......"
The roar of the on-site commentator stuck directly in his throat, and the ball flew off the baseline grazing the crossbar.
……… A wave of unevenness has risen again and again.
Under Arsenal's almost frantic full-court pressing tactics, Chelsea counter-attacked, the ball was tackled directly at the back, and Arsenal launched another fast attack.
Cesc Fabregas cuts off Williams. Gallas's pass was followed by a direct pass to Reyes, who sent the ball to Thierry Henry on the edge of the box line with a pinpoint through ball.
Thierry Henry won the ball, changed direction and crossed Terry, trying to burst into the penalty area to form a one-on-one knife, but unfortunately the latter tackled directly to the ground, and the referee showed Terry a yellow card and awarded Arsenal a set-piece.
Bergkamp stood in front of the ball.
Although the legendary star did not perform much in this game due to physical exhaustion and declining form, his role in stabilizing the morale of the army and the experience of the tournament can bring great help to the team's game, this set-piece, Arsenal collectively discussed, or handed over the opportunity to Bergkamp, even if these young players are competitive, but for Bergkamp, no one will be disrespectful.
At the referee's signal, Bergkamp calmly glared at the Chelsea wall and then slammed his foot on the bottom edge of the ball.
The free-kick went straight around the wall and towards the goal. Cech scrambled to make a save, but the angle of the ball was too tricky for him to reach, and the Arsenal fans exclaimed that the crossbar helped Chelsea, and the ball hit the crossbar directly and bounced off the line.
"Oh my God!! It's a pity that this kick didn't go in!! It seems that luck is not on Arsenal's side, the goal always rejects Arsenal, does God want Chelsea to use luck to take away the victory!? ”
After so long on the attack, Arsenal still failed to score, at this time, the stadium commentators have been lowered, and the confidence of winning is getting less and less, but he is not merciless, even if Chelsea wins, he only says that it is luck - perhaps, this is another Ah Q spirit!?
