Chapter 322: Nemesis

"Woo woo"

"Huhu

"Beat them! Chelsea! We are the masters of London!! ”

"Get those nouveau riche out of London! Arsenal Forward!! ”

The-for-tat roar, the 100,000-capacity Wembley Stadium has been overrun by Arsenal and Chelsea fans.

The 2008-2009 season saw the semi-finals of the FA Cup officially kicked off.

The fans on both sides want their own shouts, drown out each other's noise, and both want to be the masters of this side of the land.

A dilapidated wealthy family, a new aristocracy.

In order to avoid possible conflicts, the FA cooperated with the London Police and invited them to send nearly 100 police officers to work together to maintain order on the scene.

At this moment, there is no greeting or politeness in the player tunnel, there is only indifference and concentration, and the players on both sides have the same expressions and the same thoughts, defeating each other.

Arsene Wenger and Guus Hiddink shook hands with each other, said hello, and went back to the dugout, waiting for the game to begin.

'John, without Jose, this Chelsea side have found their rhythm, do you think they can still dominate against Arsenal? Who are you more optimistic about in this game? ”

With Foy's whistle blowing, the game officially began, and Lineker invited Mortenson to make a bold prediction.

'As I've said before, Chelsea are better than Arsenal and at midfield, the home combination of Frank, Ballack and Essien has enough intensity to deal with all the confrontations.

Therefore, it is difficult for Arsenal to have an advantage here, and Chelsea is playing a three-striker tactic. On paper and in terms of staffing, Chelsea have given a strong sense of oppression.

If Arsenal are to really win this game, they will have to give up something and try to play a little defensive counter-attack. ”

Mortenson gave a piece of advice that most people don't think of – defend and counterattack. Let Arsenal defend and counterattack, and Chelsea attack, is this the opposite?!

Most people couldn't understand it, Lineker paused even more, and looked at Mortensen with certainty, "John, are you sure you're talking about letting Arsenal defend and counterattack, isn't it Chelsea?" ”

"Hmm."

Mortensen nodded affirmatively, "I'm sure it's Arsenal, in fact, Arsenal have this ability to defend and counter-attack, their speed on the ball and their last pass is better than any team in the Premier League."

Disrupting the situation of the war, in fact, Arsenal has more advantages, once they are given space, Fabrega and others' passes are unusually sharp.

What's more, they have Theo up front, and his speed is a mortal danger to any team.

They have great passing ability and they have a speedy player, so why can't they do that.

Once the game is tangled, especially in the midfield, it is absolutely disadvantageous for Arsenal without Hao, while Chelsea will have more opportunities to send the ball to the front.

If I were Arsene Wenger, I would have dealt with this game in a simple way, breaking free from Chelsea's three midfielders. ”

Mortenson analyzed his point of view in detail, which made everyone's eyes shine, as if opening a new idea.

However, this is just Mogson's personal opinion, and it is still Wenger to formulate the tactics of the game.

Judging from the fact that Fabregas rarely made long passes in the first half, and more reversed the ball in the midfield, in this game, Wenger still wanted to attack by passing small balls on the ground.

Although Hiddink is playing Wenger for the first time, the head coach of the Dutchman is not in vain. And after so many years, everyone knows what Arsenal's style is, so he deliberately sent the midfield trio of Essien, Ballack and Lampard on the field.

Black! Coarse! Hard!

The combination of these three covers all the definitions of a strong midfielder, and it is natural to be invincible.

Robbing, blocking, sweeping, sealing...

With the sweep of these three powerful midfielders, plus the tall Anelka, and the burly and stout Drogba.

It can be said that on the pitch, Chelsea dominated from the start. All kinds of tackles, interceptions, Arsenal's attack did not go well from the start.

In the third minute, Cesc Fabregas passed through to Bendtner, and Alex made a crucial interception.

In the seventh minute, Toure passed to Diaby and was intercepted by Ballack.

In the eighth minute, Denilson tried to run the ball into the box, but was snatched up by Essien to destroy it

Chelsea are still in the same tough style as Chelsea have been in the same vein, and Hiddink has followed the same approach as Jose Mourinho against Arsene Wenger.

At the beginning, he did not attack against Arsenal, but used physical confrontation and space compression to disrupt Arsenal's offensive rhythm, dismember the passing that Arsenal relied on to survive, and disintegrate the connection between Arsenal players on the field.

This tactic is obviously the most experienced routine for Chelsea players to deal with Arsenal, like the previous big offensive battle between Scolari and Arsenal, Chelsea players are not adaptable, so they gave Arsenal a chance.

Returning to the old model, Chelsea have made Arsenal unusually uncomfortable. And this grinding method is not to say that Chelsea do not have the opportunity to attack, nor is it blindly defending.

On the contrary, Chelsea do not seem to have much advantage on the pitch, in fact, they are better than Arsenal in possession, passing and more chances.

Dismembering Arsenal's attack will inevitably lead to an increase in their own attacking rounds, and Chelsea are not Bolton or the like, they have more attacking firepower than Arsenal this season.

More attacking opportunities will inevitably lead to more danger for them, and the situation will start to press back against Arsenal.

In the 16th minute, Denilson's misplaced pass was tackled by Ballack, but Drogba burst into the left side of the box and missed the chance to shoot.

In the eighteenth minute, Ashley Cole tackled a pass in front, and after Malouda got the ball, he quickly entered the penalty area, and a pass seemed to shoot footwork, and the ball leaked from Fabianski's armpit and slid out of the goal.

In the 21st minute, after Diaby lost his position, he fouled Essien at the back, and Alex's free-kick hit the post and bounced off, and Arsenal escaped.

Chelsea's offensive is like a tide, constantly threatening Arsenal's door, and the situation is gradually in Chelsea's hands.

The attack and reception duel that people thought before was indeed staged, but it fell off, Chelsea is still so strong, and Arsenal is still so powerless, even if they have never lost since entering 09, there is still a gap with Chelsea.

"Still no, Arsenal's strength still can't shake Chelsea. Looking at the situation, Wenger may find it difficult to lead Arsenal to Chelsea. ”

"The rise of Chelsea is the beginning of Arsenal's decline, the collision of two ideas, and until now, Arsenal has no chance to come out."

'It's hard to say, Chelsea are like Arsenal's nemesis, Arsenal can't get around them, as if this game has been so far, Chelsea's interception, completely curbing Arsenal's attack.

Less than half an hour into the game, the scene on the pitch already worried most people for Arsenal.

There has never been a ball that has brought Arsenal such a strong deficit as Chelsea, and even Manchester United has never let Arsenal be so passive.

It's like a spell that has been around since Abou's first season at Chelsea and has nothing to do with Mourinho.

That season was Arsenal's most glorious season, winning the championship undefeated, but in the Champions League, they met Chelsea, and no one could have imagined that in the case of almost everyone favoring, they lost to their city rivals who they had not paid attention to, causing the biggest regret of that season.

The tinkerer's tactics against Arsenal also became a template for many people to deal with Arsenal later, and the Italians did what even Ferguson could not do.

Since then, the relationship between Arsenal and Chelsea has been one and the other, marked by Ashley Cole, Arsenal has lost stars every year and fallen into a rebuilding period, while Chelsea has indeed bought stars every year, almost maintaining two sets of squad equipment.

The gap between Arsenal and Chelsea has widened further.

Last season, Chelsea were in turmoil, Arsenal were finally able to play with Chelsea in the league, and the revival was imminent, who would have thought that in a summer, Arsenal would fall to the bottom again.

Fortunately, Xiang Hao is like a star, shining out of the world and pulling Arsenal up, while Chelsea's original champion coach has been fighting with the team committee, and the state has been up and down, allowing Arsenal to take advantage of it, and people can see that Arsenal is about to regain the throne of London.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long, the decisive Abou decisively got rid of Scolari, invited Hiddink, and the good old Dutchman quickly stabilized Chelsea, and the former Premier League team returned and began to kill all sides.

Finally played against Arsenal again, this time, Arsenal was still the unlucky side, Xiang Hao fell, and could only sit in the stands, anxiously watching his teammates being 'bullied' by the tall and strong Chelsea on the field, and there was no domineering of God blocking and killing God and Buddha killing Buddha before.

I have to say that the lack of a squad makes Arsenal far from the top teams.

The players on the Arsenal field, except for Cesc Fabregas and Lampard, can still play a long and short time, and the rest of the positions are really a complete comparison.

The old spicy Guus Hiddink is also a coach who is known for stability, and you will be difficult to find a hole in him and become your chance.

And now, Guus Hiddink has taken full control of this Chelsea team, which is already a whole team.

For Chelsea, which is stronger than them as a whole, Arsenal have few opportunities. Under the continuous pressing of the opponent, Diaby and Denilson have barely controlled the situation.
