373 Final Shock

Highbury Stadium erupted in boos.

During the Chelsea half, Arsenal fans in the nearby stands on three sides lashed out at Chelsea players with boos and taunts.

Because since kick-off, football has not been half at the feet of Chelsea players!

Arsenal contracted the defensive line as a whole, waiting for Chelsea to attack, but Chelsea did not attack!

This caused dissatisfaction among Arsenal fans, Chelsea played defensive counterattacks throughout the game, and at the last moment, even gave up attacking in order not to lose the ball!

"Some Fleet Street Ball critics say that Jose Mourinho's Chelsea has made many teams in the Premier League afraid to attack, but what is happening in Highbury now is that Chelsea are down by the scoreline, they are afraid to attack! Of course, a 3-2 scoreline could be very good for Chelsea, who would return to Stamford Bridge and beat Arsenal by two or more goals to qualify for the last four of the Champions League, but a 1-0, 2-1 scoreline would also allow them to progress, and Chelsea will certainly not be disappointed with a 3-2 scoreline given home advantage. It's just that the game is not over yet, and they are putting on such a posture, and the dissatisfaction of Arsenal fans is understandable. ”

Thierry Henry stood at the back of the centre circle and watched the Chelsea half.

The Chelsea players were also embarrassed that they had to pass the ball back and forth, as they did in training, and the scoreboard did show that they were behind.

In such a situation, there is no guarantee that Chelsea will be able to beat Arsenal when they return to Stamford Bridge, but what if it is a draw? Chelsea have not beaten Arsenal this season, at least, with the first league game being a draw. The second game hasn't been played yet. Now if you lose in the Champions League. It actually proved that Arsenal were more than capable of taking away a draw at Stamford Bridge.

Pire scrambled to press with his last breath, Chelsea fell back and forth, and after the first minute of stoppage time, Frank Lampard hoisted the ball forward in midfield. This is somewhat ridiculed.

Frank Lampard's pass almost furious Mourinho!

Toure cleared the ball and the ball fell to Qin Xiong's feet.

Qin Xiong started from the front of the penalty area and played a pass with Vieira to shake off Drogba, Qin Xiong suddenly stopped and dodged Joe Cole's side interception when he touched the ball for the second time, and then he passed the ball to Thierry Henry in the back of midfield.

After passing the ball, Qin Xiong rushed forward at high speed, and he knew that this might be his last physical strength.

Thierry Henry played the ball, but not very quickly, and gradually accelerated from a very slow state.

Qin Xiong ran past Henry's right side. Then run diagonally in front of Henry, who dribbled to the right at the same time. Lampard thought that Henry would pass the ball to Qin Xiong, but he didn't expect it to be just a cover, and Henry broke through the Lampard defence unimpeded.

When Geremi rushed up, Henry passed the ball diagonally to Qin Xiong, and then turned in front of Qin Xiong, who turned to dribble in front of the right.

The two continued to cross the position, and even had a dribbling breakthrough as a means of propulsion.

It turned Chelsea's defence upside down.

When Drogba, Joe Cole, Frank Lampard, and Geremy were broken one by one in the lost step and cut combination of Qin Xiong and Henry, anyone could see that Arsenal's attack would put Chelsea to death!

Jose Mourinho rushed to the edge of the coach's command area and kept yelling at the Chelsea back line to shrink!

Sideways income inside line!

Fast! Fast! Fast!

Fill the damn forbidden zone for me!

Plug the damn goal for me!

The Chelsea defenders were relatively calm, quickly moving into the box and forming a tight defensive line, in front of which there was also defensive maestro Makelele.

Qin Xiong slowed down before encountering Makelele, he had to do this, he was no longer able to sprint.

In front of Makelele, he passed the ball to Henry to the left.

As soon as Henry stopped the ball, Qin Xiong changed direction and ran to the left behind Henry, Qin Xiong's idea was to make one last attempt to cooperate with Henry, Henry passed the ball to him, and then Henry stepped forward, and Qin Xiong came to send him a through ball.

But Henry faced Terry's up-and-down and Makelele's pinch-attack, and was stabbed off by Makelele in the adjustment!

Fortunately, the stabbed football rolled towards Qin Xiong, Qin Xiong stepped on the ball with his right foot, he no longer had the physical fitness to break through, his speed could not be improved at all, and Carvalho was very stable, he had no intention of breaking through at all.

In front of him, Chelsea blocked his shot angle with a wall of four defenders, and he had no chance to shoot.

Henry tried to step forward, but was blocked head-on by Terry, and the space was too small.

At the critical moment, Qin Xiong sent a diagonal pick-up pass!

Ljungberg cut inside from the wing to behind the Chelsea backline, and Qin Xiong's pass found him!

Gallas turned and rushed diagonally to block Ljungberg's potential shot with his body, and Hout turned and flanked Ljungberg.

Ljungberg didn't look at the frightened look on Gallas' face in the face of the falling football, although he rushed up, but in fact his physical strength was also the last of his crossbow, and he barely completed a volley!

He won't have a chance to adjust, and if the ball hits the ground, it will inevitably be destroyed by Gallas and Hut, and Ljungberg can only shoot first!

There was a loud sigh from the Highbury stands, and Ljungberg fell to his knees to hide his football and flew up to the stands.

"If this goal is scored, it will put Chelsea in a desperate situation, if this goal is scored, Arsenal will leave a classic goal in this season's Champions League, Qin Xiong and Henry's spiral running is dazzling, they almost break through the Chelsea midfielders, but unfortunately the last barrier, the back line, Chelsea is still very calm and composed."

Mourinho was relieved and his face softened slightly.

Arsene Wenger sighed in disappointment, knowing Arsenal could not afford to change the scoreline.

At this time, Arsenal made a substitution, in fact, this is the substitution request submitted by Wenger a few minutes ago, but Chelsea have not attacked, and the game has not been interrupted, so it has been postponed until now.

Arsenal's substitutions killed time and Chelsea inked for some time after kick-off, and the game finally came to an end.

Qin Xiong walked directly towards the players' tunnel after the whistle, he felt extremely tired, his legs could cramp at any time, he didn't care about thanking the fans, he had to recover from fatigue and relax his muscles as soon as possible, otherwise he was not sure if he would be able to play in the league in a few days, and the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals in a week.
