It's not a game Arsene Wenger likes.

But it was a game he had to witness and order the team to play.

Chelsea are strong defensively, and Arsenal do not take the initiative to tear apart the opposition's defence.

He has to wait, wait for Chelsea to take the initiative to weaken the defense, take the initiative to expose their flaws, as long as Chelsea dare to take risks!

The first half ended in a dull 0-0.

The Chelsea players walked briskly into the tunnel expecting Jose Mourinho to come up with a good way to break down Arsenal's dense defence.

Will Mourinho be skilled?

No!

He has a way!

But all the methods are based on not saying matching, but at least the difference between the number of attackers and defenders is not large!

Arsenal were determined to defend with at least eight men, Bergkamp was full of energy, he was involved in both defending and attacking in midfield, and only Thierry Henry was the only one who acted as an arrow up front and was not involved in defence.

Isn't it fanciful that Chelsea want to destroy Arsenal's defence with four attacking players?

Only more offensive players can make the offense more varied, but again, more offensive players means that the number of defenders will decrease.

6 people attack, then the backfield is counterattacked, there are only 4 people.

If you attack with 7 people, there will only be 3 people left in the backfield!

In the case where both teams are comfortable with anti-defense, this arithmetic problem is very simple.

In terms of the success rate of attack and defence, whether Chelsea intend to pay six or seven, or more to shake Arsenal, they are at a disadvantage due to space constraints and frontal attacks, and Arsenal's counter-attack will definitely have more space. Whether it's 2 or 3 people. are more efficient than Chelsea's attack. The threat is even greater!

Mourinho knows that the essence of this gamble is to pay a higher defensive price in exchange for a smaller attacking success rate, which is an unreasonable gamble.

But his Chelsea, and indeed this season, and his Porto, have been playing with this mindset in the last two seasons!

They forced their opponents to weaken their attacks in favour of attack, and then Chelsea were more successful on the counter-attack and he was the winner. Chelsea have become a new force of terror in Europe.

When the positions are reversed, will Chelsea dare to gamble?

Jose Mourinho returned to the pitch with an ugly face, making no changes and emphasising a good defence for his team.

Neutral fans will find it ridiculous!

In the first half, Chelsea did not threaten the Arsenal goal, and Arsenal did not pose the slightest threat to the Chelsea goal.

Fortify your defense?

In what way?

Mourinho is actually afraid that if the players can't hold back the attack, they will be hit hard by Arsenal's rapid counterattack!

He had in mind the schedule for the next five races.

Chelsea have a tough battle ahead of them as they travel to Old Trafford, but they won't be too challenged.

Arsenal are different.

Arsenal don't just have to play a London derby against their arch-rivals Tottenham. There are also Liverpool and Everton, the Merseyside duo, who may snipe Arsenal!

It's fair to say that Arsenal's closing fixtures are much tougher than Chelsea's!

Chelsea can't afford to gamble with Arsenal now!

Mourinho thought so.

Arsene Wenger felt elated and sighed in his heart: an ugly game!

The London duo scored five goals each in each of the two legs of the Champions League. The championship battle between them is highly expected by the outside world, and everyone hopes that the two teams can stage a dragon and tiger battle, and then the sky will fall apart.

Unfortunately, the game was a complete surprise, with the fans in the stands drowsy and the pre-match cheering and cheering on the crowd, and by the final 20 minutes of the game, Stamford Bridge was almost in an uncanny silence.

Of course, the fans shouted for more than an hour, and their voices were hoarse!

As a result, Arsenal and Chelsea have been huddled in their own half of the pitch, and the occasional attack is like an itch in the boot, who can watch it? Who can sustain the enthusiasm?

When the full-time whistle ended, neither Arsene Wenger nor Jose Mourinho looked at each other and left the pitch.

"Chelsea missed the opportunity to reverse Arsenal at Stamford Bridge, Jose Mourinho's side defended to the end, never risked attacking without counter-attacking opportunities, Arsenal today is a bit like treating others the way they do, they are more like Chelsea than Chelsea, the dreary 90 minutes of the game ended, Chelsea and Arsenal each took a point and drew with each other, Arsenal led Chelsea by three points on goal difference, both teams got 82 points, it seems that the battle for the Premier League title depends on the performance of both teams in the final five rounds."

Qin Xiong stood up after the game to applaud Arsenal's watch.

In terms of the spectacle, neither Arsenal nor Chelsea deserve applause.

Chelsea have not shown enough courage and Arsenal have abandoned their ego pursuits.

However, after Arsenal's Champions League exit, the ideals and aspirations seem too far away, and the reality is that they need to get out of Stamford Bridge to maintain their league title advantage.

Arsenal did it.

That's enough.

He and Sylvia left Stamford Bridge and had dinner in bustling West London.

Sylvia took a month's leave, and Qin Xiong didn't want to affect her studies too much, and being able to get a few days of companionship and spiritual comfort was already a luxury for him.

Arsenal still have games in midweek.

FA Cup semi-finals!

Arsene Wenger fielded a semi-main and semi-substitute line-up for this game.

Qin Xiong is still watching from the wall, he has been able to play, but his physical condition is still a little dangerous, and the fatigue accumulated in the southern and northern battles after a season is not something that can be recovered by simply resting for a few days.

Cesc Fabregas and Flamini formed a back two, Bergkamp played as a second striker, Thierry Henry continued to play, and Robin van Persie and Reyes were given the opportunity to play on the pitch.

The FA Cup semi-finals were played at the Villa Park Stadium, a neutral venue.

Cesc Fabregas has been a bit quieter since his Champions League exit, working harder than usual and looking a lot more mature.

In the FA Cup semi-finals, he showed versatility in midfield, both defensively and offensively.

Thierry Henry was a bit of a contributor to today's game, which was what Wenger demanded.

All he needs is Henry to act as a target to attract firepower and then create opportunities for his teammates.

It can be said that Thierry Henry, who is at the front, and Cesc Fabregas in the midfield, together create opportunities for the three in between.

Blackburn's strategic deployment was a heavy mistake, they put too much emphasis on Henry's marking, and there was a problem with the defensive center of gravity.

Reyes, Bergkamp and Robin van Persie each scored a goal to destroy Blackburn, and Arsenal's path to FA Cup qualification this season was very easy.

The results of the other semi-final were announced, and the FA Cup did not escape the clutches of this powerful group, in addition to the Premier League Cup and league title competition this season.

Arsenal will meet Manchester United in the FA Cup final! (To be continued......)
