Today's fifth watch-

The excitement of returning to the top of the table will give Arsenal a mental boost to Stamford Bridge in a better mental state and mental state, but it will not do much to improve the physical exertion of their main squad in the near term.

April 13, evening.

Stamford Bridge was packed, and Chelsea fans cheered hoarsely on Chelsea from the stands in a state of pathos.

They are afraid of one result: Chelsea's two-front collapse at the end of the season!

The league table is so good that it may be the team with the most points in the history of the Premier League, but Arsenal not only created a 62-game unbeaten league game this season, but also tied Chelsea in the table and pressed Chelsea in second place on goal difference.

Chelsea have a lot of goal difference, but they don't rely on goals, but on defense, they concede nearly 20 goals less than Arsenal, but Arsenal's offensive firepower this season makes even if they concede more goals, but the number of goals is far ahead of Chelsea and even the major European teams, and they have a goal difference advantage of 3.

In the Champions League quarter-finals, Arsenal temporarily led Chelsea 3-2 on aggregate, and Blues supporters feared that if the game did not get the victory expected, then Chelsea could only win the League Cup this season.

After all, they were out of the FA Cup early.

In the tunnel of the players, the Chelsea squad seemed to contain the momentum of the battle, and Arsenal arrived at Stamford Bridge with a strong and sharp force.

Arsene Wenger claimed before the game that Arsenal were at their best, but in fact he knew Chelsea would be in better fitness than Arsenal.

Jose Mourinho appeared on the pitch with a cold look. The young marshal probably didn't expect his first season in England to turn out to be like this. Obviously the best record in Chelsea history in the league has been created. It may also be the best record in the Premier League excluding Arsenal over the same period, but Chelsea are now second in the table, not first.

No matter what, there is no room for error in this game!

Arsenal paid the physical price of their main players in exchange for the result of beating Chelsea in the league, and if Chelsea recuperates for the second leg of the Champions League knockout round and does not show that they are stronger than Arsenal, then Mourinho may become a laughing stock.

'The second leg of the exciting Champions League quarter-finals is about to begin, with Arsenal leading Chelsea 3-2 on aggregate for today's game at Stamford Bridge. It should be Chelsea's backwater, but in the past week, the situation between Chelsea and Arsenal has changed strongly, a week ago, the Premier League leader was Chelsea, a week later, the Premier League leader became Arsenal, this game may be a watershed moment in the competition between Chelsea and Arsenal!

Unlike the starting line-up in the previous game, Mourinho made two personnel changes in his starting line-up today, and that was to replace Glenn Johnson with a more assist-making ability at right wing-back. There's also Thiago's return to the starting midfield, obviously. Chelsea need to score!

Chelsea started 433.

Goalkeeper: Cech.

Defenders: Glenn Johnson, Terry, Carvalho, Gallas.

Midfielders: Claude Makelele, Thiago, Lampard.

Forwards: Duff, Drogba, Joe Cole.

Arsenal started 4231.

Goalkeeper: Lehmann.

Defenders: Lauren, Toure, Senderos, Ashley Cole.

Midfielders: Ljungberg, Vieira, Qin Xiong, Silva, Pire.

Striker: Thierry Henry.

Well, the game is about to start and Chelsea kick off first! ”

From the start of the game, Chelsea looked more proactive than in the previous game, with a more fluid midfield than the previous one and a quick attacking organisation.

Thiago was not featured in the last game, and the attacking and defensive midfielder has been a regular for Chelsea this season, only to be sidelined with a minor injury in the last game, and today's return to the starting line-up has further liberated Frank Lampard and ensured that the Chelsea midfield has more control.

Arsenal looked more passive, Qin Xiong was more at the back, and he was actively involved in defence.

From his observation and feeling of the game, the reason why Chelsea seem to be able to make the attack faster and more fluid is not because Chelsea have changed too much, but because Arsenal's tempo has slowed down!

The physical condition is not as good as the opponent due to the accumulation of fatigue, four days ago in the league, Arsenal had consumption, Chelsea's main team did not consume, plus today is a game at Stamford Bridge.

Between the advantages of the other, Arsenal's overall disadvantage on the field is more obvious.

Arsene Wenger couldn't help but frown on the sidelines, the difference in fitness between the two sides was tighter than he had imagined.

Chelsea are clearly getting into the game quicker than Arsenal.

The side that is not in good physical condition, coupled with playing away from home, will have a longer time to adapt to the atmosphere and get into the groove.

Obviously, when teammates are not on the same rhythm with each other, it is more difficult to play with demanding teamwork.

Qin Xiong struggled to control the pace of the game, and he couldn't interact with his teammates in the danger zone, so that if he lost the ball, he would be fatal to be beaten quickly.

However, in the midfield area, the Chelsea players were like wolves to encircle and counter-attack and make a huge impact, which made his organisational work extremely difficult.

In the opening 15 minutes, Arsenal didn't even play a decent attack.

Chelsea's physical superiority is on full display.

Their offensive and defensive states are unified and tacit, like a tide, rushing to the front court when attacking, and retreating to the half court when defending, and the rhythm is very strong.

Frank Lampard played much better today than he did in the previous game, with his efficiency in splitting the ball in the middle of midfield and cutting in from behind.

In the 19th minute of the game, the attack continued to attack Chelsea in the Arsenal defense area with a simple routine, and once again sent a threatening ball through a 45-degree cross from the left side of Joe Cole.

The cross flew quickly towards the back post in the box.

Sendros was snatched up by Drogba in the retreat, and the second half of the season was more eye-catching than the first, which represented his improvement, this time, he jumped high to head the ball into the goal, as if smashing the ball with his head, and the ball flew straight into the top right corner of the goal!

Lyman flew to the extreme, but he was powerless!

'Chelsea opened the scoring and Joe Cole set up Didier Drogba's header! Chelsea show great fighting power at home! Campbell's absence has too much impact on Arsenal, if it were Campbell, this goal would never make Drogba so easy, and Senderos has not yet gotten rid of the nightmare that Drogba brought him! ”

It is undeniable that after the last round, the offensive and defensive duel in which Senderos was crushed by Drogba was deliberately amplified by the media, which will have a great impact on the psychological state of young players!

Toure and Vieira have to encourage Senderos to cheer up and prevent him from playing worse and worse, if he becomes another Nishioka for Arsenal, then Arsenal Mo said that this game, maybe in the next games, Sendros will become a time bomb. (To be continued......)
