Chapter 409: A Slap to the Head (Happy New Year)
'Beautiful leaks, nice hits, Chelsea unsurprisingly ahead,'
Looking at the Chelsea players in the midfield and hugging happily, Lineker praised again and again, and his eyes shifted to the Arsenal players, "Arsenal's strongest midfielders are out of balance, and Arsenal is very difficult and struggles in this game. ”
I couldn't help but shake my head, and I couldn't express my disappointment at Arsenal's performance in this game.
In the last game, against Manchester United, although the strength was not as good, the mental state and resistance shown by the Arsenal players were the pattern of Chelsea in this game.
Each plays with his life, and each rushes to kill.
Although three were blown up on the left side, none of them flinched.
In this game, Arsenal was completely unbalanced, not to mention the left side, even their strongest midfielder was unable to resist Ballack and others.
Lineker met Xiang Hao for the first time, and he was so inactive in the strong dialogue.
Obviously, Arsenal is tired, and up to now, the physical fitness and mentality of the Arsenal players are already in a period of weakness.
It's okay to have a goal, but without a goal, they can easily turn into 'cannon fodder'.
Now Arsenal's goal is the FA Cup and Champions League final.
In a game like this, the opponent is against an opponent like Chelsea, but the opponent is still playing with his life.
It was clear that Arsenal could not stand it, both physically and mentally, they lacked effective continuity.
'Arsenal quickly found the rhythm of the game and so far they have been playing at the same pace as Chelsea.
They have always been passive, allowing Chelsea, who are in such a hot form, to be so free and have not conceded a goal until now, which can only be said that Arsenal are a little lucky. ”
Mortensen was also unhappy with Arsenal's performance, a simple game, and this is the form Arsenal has shown so far.
Although he had a premonition before the game, he was still disappointed to see this appearance.
In less than a week, Arsenal seemed to have changed teams, and they couldn't see the spirit of fighting Manchester United.
That's temperament, the temperament of a team.
Arsenal now has that strong team style, but they don't have the domineering of the team, the kind of domineering that is still the same in various games.
It's an immature team, and although the season is over, Arsenal have completed a transition period.
But to truly take shape and perpetuate, I am afraid it will take a lot of time and effort.
And it depends on Wenger's means.
Thinking more and further, Mortensen's eyes were still faint, looking at Arsene Wenger on the sidelines.
Arsene Wenger was just as unhappy with the mental outlook of his players, but it was still the same thing.
Once on the pitch, the coach can really decide the game only for those fifteen minutes of half-time adjustment.
At other times, the manager can only shout and shout on the scene like Arsene Wenger now, reminding him.
What effect it will have is unknown.
Arsene Wenger wants his players to strengthen the game in midfield, to regain dominance in midfield, and to be able to control the game, which is what Wenger can do now.
It's a pity that this is just what Wenger can do here, and on Chelsea's side, Wenger can't control it.
They are not Arsene Wenger's soldiers, and the world will not revolve around Wenger.
Arsene Wenger will want to regain dominance in midfield, but Chelsea, who have already opened up, will not give up all of that.
After scoring a goal, the Chelsea players seemed to have been stimulated, and on the field, they became more and more courageous.
Arsenal players want to grab it, you can! Chelsea is with you!
"Bang!"
The sound of the body crashing!
Xiang Hao got the old man's instructions, and he naturally wanted to implement them in place.
The first one pounces on the midfielder and has to stand on his heels.
The ball was at the feet of Essien, the opponent was speedy and wanted to pass through the midfield, how could Xiang Hao let the opponent pass so easily.
At the slightest hesitation, the slightly 'thin' body was directly with Essien.
The collision of muscles and muscles made a sound like pig iron striking each other.
The toughest players of the two teams in the midfield hinged together and began to fight.
It was definitely like a tank-like collision, and in just five seconds, the two people did not give in to each other, and there were at least seven exchanges.
And this time, Xiang Hao missed.
Esina is definitely a rhinoceros, strong, horizontal, strong...
Even if Xiang Hao is considered to be the overlord, he is always described as a 'lion'.
At this moment, it is impossible to shake Essien.
Absolutely black and hard stencils.
Playing with the body, although Xiang Hao will not lag behind the other party, he will not be able to overturn the other party.
Although the frequency of Essien's movements was suppressed by Xiang Hao, it was like a bulldozer, killing into the hinterland of Arsenal's midfield.
"Whew!"
Unprecedentedly passive, Xiang Hao couldn't hesitate, seeing that the opponent was about to enter the penalty area, and the Chelsea players were going to overflow, Xiang Hao directly put a shovel and cut it off to Essien.
And this time, Ai didn't choose to do it strongly, and fell to the ground directly.
Although it looks like a rhinoceros, it is not a real rhinoceros, and after colliding with Xiang Hao so many times, he is also uncomfortable, he also feels weak and unable to do some movements.
The force under his feet is getting smaller and smaller, and his heart is bottomless.
In order to avoid conceding the ball, since the opponent was sincerely blocked, Essien naturally fell to the ground and wailed a few times.
Xiang Hao didn't care, turned around and left the scene.
It's a pity that Dodd didn't let Xiang Hao go, "Di-!" ”
The whistle sounded, and a topaz came out. Dodd pointed at Xiang Hao.
'Me?! ’
Xiang Hao pointed at himself, stunned, and walked to Dodd's side, "This can't be enough." ”
Trying to argue, he saw that Dodd had carved his name into the topaz.
Xiang Hao could only leave, raising his hand with a wry smile, with a helpless face, and it was useless to say anything.
Arsene Wenger also walked over to the fourth official and complained twice before retreating.
Xiang Hao definitely has a foul, but there are doubts about whether this foul can be a card.
At least Chelsea had a few similar actions in front of him, and Dodd chose to let it go, and Xiang Hao committed a foul for the first time, but was shown a yellow card.
Arsene Wenger and he naturally were hard to accept and complained.
But since Dodd has been punished like this, no matter how difficult it is for them to accept it, they can only accept it.
In the 41st minute, Xiang Hao was fouled and Chelsea were awarded a free-kick on the left side of the box, 25 yards from goal.
Didier Drogba, Alex and Frank Lampard stood in front of the ball, discussing something.
"Di-!"
Dodd checked the wall, checked it, and walked away, blowing the whistle.
"Bang!" "Boom!!"
“GOOOOOOOOOOO――OL!!! Alex Rodrigo Díaz da Costa! Heavy artillery bombarded the door, heavy artillery bombarded the door!! ”
The hysterical shouts emanated from the Chelsea commentary, and the full name was pronounced out by the name of the penalty taker - Alex Rodrigo Díaz da Costa!
Passion was blowing and all Chelsea fans were in a frenzy.
The whistle blows - the giant bursts - the net is torn!
Three moments, three nodes. Chelsea took the free-kick and opened the scoring.
Alex didn't give Almunia time to react, and after the whistle blew, barely helped to run, pulling straight up on the spot.
The ball is fast and straight and draws directly into the net.
Not only did Almunia have no time to react, but the rest of the Arsenal players were the same, the wall wasn't even set up and the ball had fallen into the net.
Arsenal fans were dumbfounded, watching the Chelsea fans shout in front of them.
A feeling of powerlessness and blockage lingered over the Emirates Stadium, not only the players were dumbfounded, but the Arsenal players were also stunned.
How did this goal go in?
"Whew!"
The cathartic shouts did not come from the mouths of the Chelsea players, but from the mouths of Hiddink, who was in his sixties.
After the old man saw such a violent way of breaking the door, he could no longer hold back the excitement in his heart, and he clenched his fists and shouted.
Irrepressible catharsis, unstoppable catharsis.
The same is true of the Chelsea players on the field, the most direct and violent goal, which completely released the depression that had been suppressed for several days.
Running to the stands where his fans were, dancing arms, hideous faces, shouting loudly, and stacking Arhats, the later players rushed up one by one, and couldn't stop being excited.
That's the way Chelsea played in this game, the Tyrannosaurus was born and it was unfortunate for Arsenal to catch up.
Even if it is at their home stadium, they are helpless, not to mention, their own strength is not as good as the other party, and they have rotated most of the main forces.
In this game, Arsenal's unbeaten game is also unreasonable.
Arsene Wenger also understood this, so after the ball, the old man was quiet.
has no desires, no desires, and can't play with each other.
To put it mildly, Arsenal players are now worth more than Chelsea's lives.
So after returning to the locker room in the first half, at the half-time summary that countless people were looking forward to, the old man was still in the locker room, still with a calm face, and he was making arrangements safely...
"Control the rhythm properly, don't let the opponent rush too hard, don't give them space in the penalty area, and think about the protection of the front in front of the penalty area."
A brief explanation, and even a little submissive, but the Arsenal players did not have any resentment at this time.
They are the players of the game on the field, and they are the most intuitive feeling of how violent these tyrannosaurs are.
Even Xiang Hao, the number one strongman in the team, couldn't suppress the opponent, and was opened in the midfield, how could others see it.
What's more, in this game, Arshavin still has a little cold, as for Walcott and Bella, the lethality of the two in the front court is too weak, and the individual combat ability is not enough in front of the Chelsea defense line.
Arsene Wenger's second-half set-up was already naked, and it was an obvious defensive counter-attack.
Hold the front of the penalty area and in front of the penalty area, other times, you have the ability, like the burst just now, then you can't help it.
After holding on, it's a matter of making the most of Bella and Walcoat's pace and seeing if there's any chance.
The current Arsenal is definitely a weak team.
This game gave the high-flying Arsenal players a blow to the head - the gap, the gap with the really strong team.
