Chapter 327: Big Win Over Arsenal!! (2)
For a while, Arsenal fell into a cycle of inability to score.
This is not only because Chelsea are very defensive, with the zone defence greatly limiting Arsenal's attack, but also because the mood of the Arsenal players has become irritable when they are two goals down, which makes the attack play a little disorganized.
At this time, the disadvantage of too many young players is reflected, Arsenal can often play 120% of the strength when playing a tailwind, such as in the opening game, Arsenal has an advantage, so the score is immediately rewritten, and now, two goals behind makes these young players unstable, although the cooperation is still impressive, but always lack the ability to kick the goal.
The situation seems to be spreading, and even the mature Thierry Henry and veteran Bergkamp have each missed a goal, which makes Arsenal's attack more impatient, although the momentum is still ferocious, but when Chelsea withstood this period of attacking frenzy, the scale of victory began to slowly tilt.
Seeing this situation, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger on the sidelines walked around anxiously on the sidelines, and he had nothing to do.
Arsenal's tight bills have forced the team to buy these young players to increase the depth of the bench, although the team's results have been very good in the past, but that is only because of Manchester United's decline has made Arsenal stand out in the Premier League, but this season there has been a strong Chelsea, in the confrontation between the two teams, the problem is directly apparent.
Even if it is still not possible to see Chelsea's tactical set-up, Arsene Wenger's tactical approach is undoubtedly correct, and the score and situation on the field also highlight the current imbalance in the strength of the two teams.
Although Wenger didn't admit it, after watching the whole process of this game, he already knew in his heart that the Premier League is no longer Arsenal's world, and now Chelsea has overwhelmed Arsenal in terms of strength.
One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion.
The battlefield is like this, and so is the football field.
After Arsenal continued to attack for 10 minutes, the coordination between the players on the field finally began to make frequent mistakes - in the 59th minute, the youngster Cesc Fabregas took the ball from the middle and made a one-two with Pire, but Pire's stop was too big. Duff went straight to the steal.
In the 61st minute, Arsenal won a well-placed free-kick in front of goal, and it was still the youngster Cesc Fabregas, who stood in front of the ball and fired a shot straight at the Chelsea wall.
Just three minutes later, Chelsea's attack was cut off, but Flamini was counter-attacked, with Frank Lampard snatching the ball and firing it to Wang.
Taking advantage of the lack of Arsenal's defense, Wang Li took the ball to play a long-distance run at Highbury Stadium and shook Ashley in a row. Cole, Campbell and other three players, in the end in the penalty area by the opposing defenders helplessly pulled the jersey, free kick missed did not let the score have been rewritten.
As this situation intensified, Chelsea counter-attacked more and more often, and the crisis in the Arsenal goal became more and more serious.
Although mistakes are inevitable in competitive games, Arsenal's frequent mistakes also reflect the impatience of Arsenal's players on the field at this time, for a professional player, the mentality of the game is very important, which is also an important reason why many small clubs like to introduce veterans, these veterans can not only bring rich game experience to young players, but also allow them to stabilize their mentality in the tournament and play 100% strength.
It's easier said than done, and that's one of the reasons why away teams are so easy to be passive in an away environment.
So, in the 63rd minute, Chelsea had another great chance.
This time it was striker Reyes, the rising Spanish talent who made a huge mistake near the halfway line. In Gallas's close defense, he passed the ball to Wang Li in a fit of anxiety!!
"Beautiful~~~prefact!! ~~~”
Seeing this scene, the Blues fans in the audience invariably scoffed, they wished that Arsenal would make more and more mistakes, for Chelsea fans, this is not an ordinary Premier League competition, but a battle for the best team in London, they have been at a disadvantage in this competition for decades or even a hundred years, and now that they finally have the opportunity to raise their eyebrows, they will not pay lip service.
And the commentator of the imperial court station of the ancient oriental country also said: "Arsenal's attack is blocked, these young players seem to be playing a little poorly, this time Reyes's mistake is too big, this may be too eager to score, in this way, Chelsea has more chances to score, although now leading by two goals, Chelsea has almost won safely, but if you can score another goal, then Arsenal has almost no chance." ”
At this time, on the court, Wang Li was also stunned when he received the pass, he just thought about whether he should go forward to find a chance to steal, and the ball rolled towards him, the ball was too comfortable. Of course, Wang Li will not show mercy to his subordinates like this, not mentioning the contradiction between him and Arsenal, just say that in football games, as a striker, if you can score one more goal, of course, you have to score one more goal.
So, Wang Li, who received the pass, began to run wildly with the ball, and went straight to the hinterland of Arsenal.
Although now Altyn . Robben, Damien. Duff was still behind him, and Frank Lampard was in charge of defending near the penalty line, and it was impossible to run up front for a short time, but Wang Li didn't care about that, even if he didn't implement Mourinho's 'zone attacking tactics', he could still score.
In previous games, Chelsea have scored a few goals at a time, isn't there no 'zone attack'?
In fact, although this 'zone defense tactic' is really good, maximizing the ability of 'Limbo micro-step' and allowing this ability to be integrated into the team's tactical system, constantly creating opportunities for Chelsea's attack, it also limits Wang Li's individual attacking ability, which here refers to dribbling and passing ability.
In the past, the reason why Chelsea was still able to score so many goals was because Wang Li's dribbling and passing ability were too strong, and it can even be said that as long as Wang Li played, he could overturn the entire half-court defense of a small club, which made Chelsea always soar.
And this time, at Arsenal's Highbury, Wang Li once again showed this amazing ability.
In the face of Flamini's defense, Wang Li simply stepped forward with his right foot, and then took a slight step to shake off the new talent of Arsenal, waiting in front of Toure and Ashley. Cole.
Faced with the defense of two powerful defenders, he did not choose to pass the ball, but stepped on a fancy bicycle while dribbling quickly while watching the eyes of the Highbury fans.
One, two, three、...... Feet slashing back and forth on the ball at extreme speed, even making it impossible to see where the ball is, this scene was filmed by many, many media outlets, this speed of cycling is absolutely the world's best, almost impossible to surpass.
And Toure and Ashley, who were in charge of the defense. The two of Kerr are very experienced, and when they rushed over to Wang Li, they were already ready to defend themselves to slow down his speed, yes, they didn't think about rushing to steal at all, after so many games and watching so many videos, especially Ashley. Cole, he knew very well that he couldn't grab Wang Li's ball at all, and rushing forward would only make Wang Li easily shake off, just like Flamini who was following behind.
In front of this juggling way of pedaling a bicycle, Toure finally couldn't help it, for him, it was almost a naked humiliation!!
So, in the dazzle, Toure fell directly to the ground and made a vicious tackle, and it was clear that the 23-year-old Ivorian didn't care whether it was the man or the ball that he tackled. The example of Nistelrooy's tackle is there, but it's hard to imagine that feeling for players who haven't really experienced Wangli's two legs, preferring to dismiss it as a mistake by the Dutchman himself.
Fortunately, Wang Li didn't have the heart to retaliate or anything in the fast attack, in fact, this game was not dissatisfying to Chelsea and himself at all, and the Arsenal players did not make much moves, Wang Li is not a thug.
Under the gaze of the fans, he put his right toe a little behind the ball, and then took a slight step to dodge Toure's tackle. Cole waited for his chance.
When Wang Li pointed his toe behind the ball, the football suddenly jumped forward under this force, and in front of him was Ashley. Cole, after reacting, Cole stepped up with his left foot and was about to clear the siege, but unfortunately he still underestimated Wang Li's speed.
Although the ball speed is very fast, but in fact, Wang Li just controlled the force, after chasing the ball, he immediately turned around and leaned against Cole with his back, as if he intended to protect the ball in this way, but at this time Cole's right foot had been swung out, of course he didn't mean to kick Wang Li, but he had to kick out under his habitual surname, and it was difficult to stop.
However, in an instant, Wang Li turned around and pulled the ball back, and then turned around again, and directly dodged Cole, who didn't kick anything with his volley, fortunately Cole finally saw that he couldn't kick the ball and retracted his strength, so he couldn't get hurt, but this force also made his body unstable, and he fell directly to the grass.
"Beautiful!! Wang Li is rushing forward!! He shook three defenders in a row!! "Seeing the highlights, the 'Premier League Blind' commentator of the Imperial Court Station was also in high spirits.
At this time, Wang Li had already faced Arsenal's last defensive player, Lauren. Etamé.
In 2000, Lauren. Ettame moved to Arsenal from Mallorca for 7.2 million euros, the 27-year-old can be said to be a strong defender, in fact, in four and a half seasons, he has made 128 appearances for Arsenal and scored six goals.
This time, he also seemed calm and unhurried in the face of Wang Li's attack, and he was very sophisticated while running in the direction of Wang Li's ball, and at the same time he used his body to stick to it.
This is the best way to deal with an attacking player with a fast dribble, so that the player with the ball can not simply use his speed to shake off the defense, but also have to worry about the ball being broken at his feet at all times, and at the same time, no matter how subtle the foot technique in front of the close defense, becomes a little weak.
Wang Li is also a little helpless about Lauren's approach, although he is fast with the ball, but there is still a certain gap compared with running without the ball.
At this time, he was about to cross the penalty line, and Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia had already crossed the goal, and if he kicked the ball widely, he would definitely be easily won by Almunia.
In this case, the average technical striker will definitely seem a little rushed, but Wang Li is different, he not only has unparalleled skills, but also has an absolute advantage in body - you don't expect an ordinary person to be able to beat a martial arts master, even if this ordinary person is physically strong.
At this point, Lauren felt the pressure from the side.
In a hurry, after Wang Li's luck was internal, his body was running, and he naturally swayed from side to side twice, which made Lauren's collision almost fall to the ground, and also made the nervous Arsenal fans keep shouting 'foul, foul', but unfortunately this kind of action is only a general reasonable collision in the Premier League, and the referee simply ignored the shouts of Arsenal fans.
At this time, Wang Li was the only one left in front of Almunia, after rushing in with the ball, a light change of direction, flashed Almunia's pounce, and in the face of the empty goal, he did not hesitate to push the ball easily, so that the hearts of Arsenal fans fell directly to the bottom of the abyss.
"The ball is in!! The ball is in!! ”
“gooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!”
"It's Wang Li again, he scored a hat trick in the game, 1:4, Arsenal's defeat is decided, and it is impossible to recover three goals in a row in the next time!"
"It's really hard to describe my mood at this time, I think most fans and friends in front of the TV will also be excited, Wang Li, the overseas Chinese from England, he just staged a long-distance run at Highbury Stadium, beat four defenders from the midfield, and then shook off the goalkeeper, and pushed the empty goal to score the fourth goal for Chelsea, which directly sealed the result of the game."
'It's a beautiful attack, he's a hero for Chelsea!!'
Just when the commentators on the court station were still chattering, the stands of the Blues fans had exploded, even if they were rich in imagination and at the same time very confident in Chelsea, but looking at the score board on the pitch on the bright red handwriting of 1:4, it was still like being in a dream, you know, the opponent is Arsenal, not Fulham, Middlesbrough, Crystal Palace...... Arsenal!!!
They have won 13 English top flight titles, 10 English FA Cups, 2 English League Cups, 1 European Cup Winners' Cup, 1 UEFA Cup, etc., as a Premier League giant, Arsenal has countless honors.
However, it was the same Premier League winner last season who was now on his own pitch and was scored four goals by Chelsea!!
And how can this not get the Blues fans excited!!
"Alan!! Allan!! Allan!! ”
"Chelsea!! Chelsea!! Chelsea!! ”
"One more!! Let them know the gap!! ”
…… Crazy Blues fans shouted all sorts of slogans to express their excitement, with many even taking off their coats and waving them in their hands to cheer on the team in the cold months of December.
Corresponding to the Blues fans was the attitude of the Arsenal fans, who were all looking at the brunette who was celebrating the goal in the middle of the pitch and were saddened, if not ...... At this point, after seeing Chelsea score another goal, many Arsenal fans left the stadium early, and they didn't want to watch their favourite team being abused in front of their own goal, which was definitely a serious psychological injury to them.
……… On the pitch, the lowest mood is Wenger, the French coach, Arsenal's iconic manager really has no good way to do anything about the situation on the field, and was scored 4 goals by Chelsea in front of his own goal, which made Arsenal lose at the same time, but also made him feel embarrassed.
However, even so, Wenger was not annoyed and his performance was calm. It was clear that it was impossible to win the game, so Arsene Wenger immediately replaced the big players on the pitch with a few substitutes, so that these young players who had not experienced the big tournament gained some major tournament experience, and the rest of the time was also used as a drill.
Seeing the opponent's move to admit defeat, Mourinho, who was in a good mood, also waved his hand. Bridget, Joe. Kerr came on both sides and replaced captain John Brown. Terry and Wang Li.
As a result, the rest of the game became garbage time, and there were more Arsenal fans leaving the stadium in the audience.
Wang Li, who had just scored a goal and was substituted, won the applause of the Blues fans who had more than 10,000 meters. Kerr hugged each other, and then took a few sips of a water bottle thrown by his teammates, walked to the bench and put on his coat, waiting for the game to end.
In fact, the game was only in the 65th minute, with 20 minutes left, but the three-goal deficit had already made the rest of the game meaningless.
The Arsenal players on the pitch also have no motivation to keep competing, they are just hoping for the game to end quickly, and it is an absolute torture for them to continue playing on the pitch now.
1:4, this kind of score, is indeed very desperate.
The Frenchman in the Arsenal dugout was already thinking about the post-match affair, and just dealing with the media was a big headache.
In the 75th minute, Cesc Fabregas created a good chance for Thierry Henry with a pinpoint pass from outside the box, who won the ball and turned and volleyed a goal back for Arsenal, a goal that worried Mourinho a little, and he even wondered if it was a mistake for him to replace Wang Li so early!?
However, just five minutes later, the Portuguese was able to calm down again. Kerr's cold shot from outside the box put the icing on the cake for Chelsea and made it 2-5.
Finally, to the cheers of the Blues fans, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.
It was Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger who ignored the outstretched hand of Mourinho with a gloating face and walked straight towards the players' tunnel - what bothers him the most now is that he can minimize the impact of this game
