323 Rise of the Blues!
Arsene Wenger's rare fury on the sidelines!
He was very unhappy with Van Persie!
Van Persie, who had told him to be more involved in defense when he was replaced, should take on more tasks than other players.
Be active on defense and decisive on offense.
It is for him to sprint back and forth on the wing!
It was Arsene Wenger's change to strengthen the defence.
Increasing the number of defensive players is not Arsene Wenger's style of adjustment, and secondly, Arsenal actually have no stronger players on the bench than the starters.
The only option is to replace Qin Xiong and replace Flamini.
But in that case, Arsenal's attacking power may be weakened by at least half, and they will not be able to pose enough attacking threat to Chelsea, then Chelsea will launch the final Jedi counterattack with impunity!
The vision is always beautiful, but the reality is often harsh.
Van Persie came on the pitch and was overly excited to have a good performance on the offensive end, while the defensive work seemed to be indiscriminate.
He was unable to harass Robben from behind, not even by using his position to cut off the passing lines between the Chelsea midfielders and Robben.
This made Arsenal's disadvantage even more apparent.
Arjen Robben turned the Arsenal backline upside down, which must also have an impact on physical factors.
Silva and Ashley Cole are still experienced and they have focused on limiting Robben's play, gradually forcing him out of the danger zone.
But Arsenal's overall defensive focus was unconsciously tilted to the left, because Robben was too dazzling in the closing period!
He stands out from any player on the pitch.
In the 87th minute of the game, Robben was shocking and cut inside with the ball again to the Arsenal penalty area.
On the occasion of Silva, he suddenly pulled the ball back. Retreat after an emergency stop. Robben, who shook off the gap in the cross-pass, knew he couldn't crush Arsenal's defence all at once.
He tried. But all failed.
It can be said that in this game, no player can break down the opponent's defense on his own.
Neither Chelsea nor Arsenal's defensive prowess is child's play.
So with little time left, Robben stopped selfishly sticking to the ball, and his next choice took Arsenal's defence completely by surprise.
They think blocking Robben will defuse the danger and the threat he has posed in the last ten minutes has been higher than any player at any time at all!
Robben's eyes were like a torch, his eyes were on the left wing, and then he rubbed the ball up with his golden left foot. Chopping the ball, the basic skill in football skills, he has long been perfected!
On the way from the right side to the left side of the football across the half court, Qin Xiong's flying shovel tried to destroy the ball, but the leg he lifted off the ground was still a little lower, maybe only a few centimeters, and between the lightning and flint, he saw the football flying past his feet.
Robben glanced at Qin Xiong, who failed to intercept with a sliding tackle, immediately retracted his gaze, and then immediately ran to the front of the penalty area. Forming a pressure on the Arsenal defence.
The ball flew to the left and it looked like it was being passed to Gudjohnsen, but Gudjohnsen kept running into the box. Lauren hesitated for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Bridge rush up and make adjustments after stopping the ball on the touchline.
45 degree cross!
This cross is a half-high ball that goes to the outside of the middle of the box.
Drogba took the initiative to block Toure with his body, Vieira quickly retreated and planned to hit Drogba back and forth with Toure, as long as Drogba stopped the ball, Vieira did not believe that Drogba could have the next step!
However, Drogba used his foot to cut the ball directly to Gudjohnsen when the ball flew in.
In the face of the bouncing football, the Icelander did not hesitate to volley directly!
Spectacular volleys!
The football barely spun and bombarded the Arsenal goal with majestic momentum!
Under the nervous gaze of the audience, Lehmann calmly shifted two steps and then flew to block the ball!
Bang!
The powerful shot was blocked by Lehmann, but the power was too great, and the ball bounced back in a direction that Lehmann could not control.
The ball that bounced off landed on the line of the penalty area, where Frank Lampard, who was adept at catching the air, was in a state of flux.
Frank Lampard gritted his teeth and leaned in the face of the falling football, allowing his right leg to stretch out as much as possible and control the angle of his shot.
Bang!
Frank Lampard's slightly awkward volley sends the ball back in the direction of the Arsenal goal!
Campbell, who had rushed to block the football with his body, looked desperate.
Frank Lampard actually kicked a ball!
The ball flew from under his arm to his back, and Campbell didn't look away as he saw Frank Lampard and the other Chelsea players not far away, whose expressions changed from solemn to joyful!
Then comes the ultimate excitement, wild pride!
The ball flew into the Arsenal goal, and the referee circled his finger to signal that the Chelsea goal was valid!
'Chelsea equalised! Frank Lampard saves Chelsea! Chelsea showed a lot of temperament and will in the last moments! With their tenacious will and the spirit of not giving up, they continue to create opportunities, although their attack is not as mercury as Arsenal, but they have an alternative beauty full of power and impact! Drogba is such a monster! It is rare for a striker to be able to control the ball in the Arsenal penalty area, stop the ball, and make the ball, and it was Drogba's ball that gave Gudjohnsen a chance to shoot, although Gudjohnsen could not send the ball directly into the goal, but Lampard's follow-up shot did not make their efforts go to waste! The Premier League top game is now 1-1 and the game is about to enter injury time, will there be a stunner? ”
The Chelsea crowd, led by Frank Lampard, were excited to celebrate the goal at Highbury.
Mourinho shook his fist heavily on the sidelines!
The unruly young marshal's facial expression showed a touch of hideousness!
This goal is more precious than gold!
It wasn't just about the game that brought Chelsea from behind to an equaliser.
It also has an important impact on Chelsea's military spirit, the temperament, will, confidence and so on!
It's Highbury!
The battle for the top spot in the final time has been carried out in the evening, the night is as cold as water, the cold wind is blowing, and the body of the Arsenal generals is hot, as if the blood donation is still boiling.
But the bottom of their hearts inevitably slipped through the slightest chill!
It's a special feeling to see the whole Chelsea team celebrating on their own doorstep, because this season is special for Chelsea itself!
They are not the "nouveau riche" of last season, who wielded rubles and became strong on the outside.
They are metamorphosing this season, forming a new temperament, reborn quickly and becoming a new force!
It's hard to suppress this force, but it can influence, delay, and obstruct it, so that Chelsea's growth and development will not be smooth sailing!
Then it is up to the strong to teach them, to break their confidence, to make them aware of the gap between them and the strong, although it may produce positive stimulus, but who can guarantee that no one will be defeated by negative feelings such as loss, frustration, discouragement, etc.?
But now in Highbury, Chelsea have equalised, and the spirit of the fighting spirit is amazing, no, shocking!
They seem to be invincible, as if they are unshakable, even if the process does not make them look amazing, but when the result is reached, it is enough to give them a full resurrection, or even more powerful thrill!
Arsene Wenger made the last two substitutions on the sidelines, with Edu and Flamini coming on for Qin Xiong and Ljungberg.
Now that Chelsea have a strong anti-away stance, Arsene Wenger has to be more stable.
Qin Xiong walked to the sidelines with great regret in his heart, and calmly completed the substitution handover with Flamini, and he was greeted by applause from the Arsenal fans in the nearby stands, but he just couldn't be happy.
There will even be worries, in the last minutes of stoppage time, will Arsenal be able to hold on?
Very strange idea.
It was obviously in Highbury, and it was the first goal for the opponent, but at the last moment, I had to worry about whether it would be reversed.
Because he can clearly perceive the change in the momentum of the players of both teams.
Chelsea is like a raging flame, burning more and more!
Qin Xiong, who sat on the bench and put on a warm jacket, knew in his heart that the pressure on Arsenal was too great, and the more factors affected his mentality were.
In particular, the 56-game unbeaten run is only three games away from breaking the 58-game unbeaten record, which makes it easier for the players to suffer from gains and losses, and become nervous at key moments, which of course affects the performance of the game.
In the end, the game did not change again.
Arsenal drew 1-1 at home to Chelsea.
Although there is no change in the standings and points gap in the table, Arsenal remain the leaders and Chelsea are second.
But after Qin Xiong got up and looked at the posture of the Chelsea players when they left the field, he knew in his heart: Arsenal lost!
The Chelsea crowd's exit from Highbury, on the defending champions' doorstep, was crucial to their spirits.
They walked out with their heads held high as if they were still unwilling to settle for a draw, and the Chelsea crowd walked with firm steps, as if every step was shaking the ground of European football.
Jose Mourinho has been in charge of Stamford Bridge for less than half a year, but the flesh-and-blood Chelsea has been shaped into a new soul!
A new force has begun to rise in the green world.
It's called the Blues! (To be continued......)
