Although in the eyes of all the audience, Qin Xiong was about to form a single knife, but Qin Xiong knew that he was facing strong pressure.

Makelele, who had gone to watch out for Ljungberg and cut inside, did not completely relax.

At the moment when Qin Xiong rushed into the penalty area, Makelele's tackle interception also hit from the side!

Makelele is a master of art, and through his understanding of Qin Xiong, he already knows that Qin Xiong's impact speed is the limit!

So he didn't worry about Qin Xiong suddenly accelerating to create the first touch or shot, or being fouled by his own tackle and being awarded a penalty.

Qin Xiong didn't take the last step to shoot, he knew it was late, maybe it was only 0.1 seconds late, but it was too late, Makellele's toes took the lead in poking the ball away, so Qin Xiong chose to jump up in the last step and just turned over from above Makelele's body.

At the moment of crossing, Qin Xiong closed his eyes for a second, revealing a trace of regret.

A good chance for this attack, gone!

Perhaps letting Ljungberg cut and Pire to respond would be the perfect configuration for this attack.

But there is never a complex offensive routine on the football field, and 99% of the time it is improvisational and team chemistry, rather than copying a tactical run or design from the script.

A loud sigh rang out from Highbury.

The singing in the stands stopped abruptly, and most of the Arsenal fans held their heads and felt sorry for Qin Xiong, what a great opportunity this is!

Just as Qin Xiong was tumbling off the ground, Cech had already passed the ball to the right wing, and Ferreira ran forward to meet the football. Then immediately launch a Chelsea counter-attack.

Peter Pan's blistering speed allowed Chelsea's attack to reach Arsenal's half.

This caused a disconnect in Arsenal's overall formation.

Qin Xiong. Henry. Neither Pire, nor Ljungberg, could support the backcourt defense at this time.

However, the Arsenal backline is still very calm.

Joe Cole, Drogba, Robben, Lampard.

4VS6？

Cesc Fabregas already knows a thing or two about defending Frank Lampard, calmly watching Lampard's movements and anticipating when he will be sped up. and will be inserted into which open area.

Chelsea's attacking campaign still needs new attacking points to really shake up Arsenal's current tacit defensive system.

When Arjen Robben forced Flamini down the flank up front to keep Silva at bay, and then moved inside before the two met to keep Silva pinned, Chelsea's new attacking point emerged!

Mourinho has always been calm and serious, until this moment, he can't help but clench his fists, slightly raise his chin and eyes show a sharp color.

There is one player he has focused on this season and has high hopes for, but in the first half of the season, the player's full potential has not yet been fully realized, as the new signing needs to adapt to the Premier League. First of all, it is necessary to gain a foothold here.

Chelsea's lack of change has been criticised for the lack of variation in Chelsea's attack, and Mourinho himself doesn't know?

He knows better than anyone about the Blues he has built!

Winger stream?

No!

From this season onwards. The Blues and Chelsea will be in all three!

It's not just Frank Lampard, who hit the world's No. 1 midfielder, but also a Mourinho who dares to take out the midfielders who performed well last season to support the new beast waist in the upper position!

Essien!

He's more than just a defensive midfielder!

He can attack and retreat, and he can defend!

When Arjen Robben crossed the ball, but instead of Lampard, he was killed from behind, like a rhinoceros falling from the sky to disrupt Arsenal's defensive formation, Arsenal's defense was really in huge confusion.

Cesc Fabregas became hesitant to switch targets.

He knew that if he went to intercept Essien, it would be one thing if he could catch up in the first place, and after he left, Lampard was freed up and became a new threat!

And more threatening than Essien, who advanced by dribbling!

Silva retreated to block Essien before dropping back, Robben cut inside strongly, and Essien decisively passed the ball to Drogba.

The monster Drogba took the ball with his back in front of the penalty area, almost ignoring the defensive pressure of Senderos, and forced a 90-degree turn to slant the ball in the space between Senderols and Flamini!

Peter Pan Robben successfully countered offside just right!

At this point, he slotted diagonally and decisively into the inside of the far post.

Lehmann lunged down and blocked the ball with one palm, but the ball only bounced out with a 30-degree change of direction.

Before the ball could hit the ground, Joe Cole, who had been outflanking the back of the goal from another wing, sent the ball back to the goal.

Lehmann fell to the ground and watched helplessly as the ball flew into the goal from the top left side of his head!

The atmosphere in Highbury Stadium plummeted to freezing.

The Blues fans roared with passion, with Joe Cole surrounded by the Blues crowd and Jose Mourinho slashing his fist in a sinister manner.

Arsene Wenger frowned slightly, but it was not the end of the world yet.

The score was equalised.

But Arsene Wenger was thinking more about this: if the season had not been the first half of the season with Chelsea, but in the second half of the season, perhaps Arsenal would have been in a very bad position.

First of all, Mourinho will definitely find ways to make up for the flaws in the left wing-back, such as Bridge's imminent return from injury, and the second is that Essien has fully integrated into Chelsea after establishing himself in the Premier League, and has been trained by Mourinho to inspire greater ability.

In that case, Arsenal, which had a thin squad, will be distracted by the Champions League knockout round in the second half of the season, and if it encounters Chelsea, the direct opponent of the championship, in the league, I am afraid the consequences will be really unimaginable!

There's a little bit of a fluke.

Originally, it was thought that the FA's schedule was very bad, but now it seems that it may be more beneficial for Arsenal and Chelsea to compete for the title this season.

'Chelsea equalised! Chelsea's fast-attacking counter-attack this time was simply heart-pounding! They pushed the attack to the danger zone with a blistering pace, and then Robben, Essien, Drogba completed a beautiful triangle pass, Robben cut into the box to form a shot, Lehmann and Cech, the two outstanding goalkeepers were the most painful players of the game, they both had world-class performance in the save, but they could not withstand the opponent's second attack! Joe Cole, who was substituted by Jose Mourinho, became a wonder man and his volley sent the ball into the Arsenal goal! With 13 minutes left and Arsenal and Chelsea tied 2-2, will there be a laster in the final minute? Let's wait and see. ”

Arsenal were not in a good situation after conceding the goal.

It's not that they don't have fighting spirit, but Chelsea, who are stronger than the soldiers and defenders, their overall physical fitness is indeed inferior to the other side.

It's not to the point where they can't keep up with Chelsea, but this kind of peak matchup, a slight difference in physical fitness, will be a fatal factor, and Arsenal is quite weak. (To be continued......)
