Arsenal's defeat at Stamford Bridge was a somewhat surprising but plausible result.

Although more people were optimistic about Arsenal before the game, because Arsenal is in good shape now, because Arsenal's squad is also more neat; Chelsea, on the other hand, have had a terrible record this season, and although they have improved after the change of manager, Chelsea are not yet the best team.

But Arsenal did lose, and at Stamford Bridge, Arsenal's performance was terrible; In the first half, Arsenal showed some inaction, and in the face of Chelsea's bus tactics, Arsenal really did not adapt. Although Arsenal's performance improved in the second half, it has to be admitted that Arsenal's performance was definitely not in the best condition.

As for Chelsea winning games, that's a normal thing; Because Chelsea are not at their peak, they have a good squad and quality and they can beat any opponent in a one-leg. And Chelsea were very well prepared for this game, they played the way they do best, and it was in this game that they chose Arsenal's most troublesome bus tactics.

Xiao Qing has nothing to say, the team lost, and there was no need for any reason, just lost.

Whether it is Chelsea's bus tactics or the iron bucket formation, but it must be admitted that Chelsea's tactics are really very restrained from Arsenal, and they have indeed achieved great results. So now we are losing 0-1, and we don't need any reason at all, and if you lose, you lose.

One might think that Chelsea's tactics in this game were negative, but it is important to admit that they were the winners of this game and they were one step closer to the Champions League final. You can't expect every team to play good attacking football, and it's clear that Chelsea are better suited to this kind of counter-attack, they play their own character and that's the key to their victory.

Xiao Qing was in a very bad mood. No team would be happy if they lose a Champions League semi-final; Especially in this game, Arsenal's performance is controlled by others everywhere, which makes people feel even more depressed. Of course, Xiao Qing is the same, although he is very hard in this game, he really rarely plays well in the game; Although Xiao Qing has always maintained enough confidence and enthusiasm, the result of the game is a big blow to Xiao Qing.

Arsenal lost, and lost completely; Arsenal trailed by one goal and did not score away from home, which also made Arsenal more passive in the second leg. On the scene of the game, they could not do anything in the face of Chelsea's turtle shell, and Arsenal could only watch Chelsea's powerful central midfield continue to kill their own attack. They could only watch helplessly as the team's offense stalled. It's not the way Arsenal plays, it's not the game the Gunners want to see.

Arsenal's players are also summarizing the team's shortcomings in the first leg of the game, although the current Arsenal is indeed behind by a goal in the big score, but the Arsenal players still maintain enough self-confidence, they believe that back at home that must belong to Arsenal's territory.

It's important for Arsenal to maintain enough self-confidence at this time. Although it was very passive in the first leg, although the current situation of Arsenal is indeed very bad. However, Arsenal's players believe they are unlikely to be completely frozen by Chelsea. In the first leg, Arsenal showed some discomfort. This is also a lack of preparation on the part of Arsenal's players, but in the second leg, Arsenal will definitely give it their all.

The current Arsenal players already know the difficulty of the game against Chelsea, and they also understand Chelsea's tactics; Arsenal simply won't allow two falls in the same pit, and they will certainly bottom out in the second leg and they will certainly try to break out strongly. It's just a one-goal gap, and Arsenal is also very sure to get it back; This is not an insurmountable gap for the Gunners, who will secure a place at home to qualify.

"It's just a game, my dear. No team can win all the time. Xiao Qing looked very unhappy after losing, and Anna didn't say that she came over to comfort Xiao Qing, but also wanted to see if Xiao Qing had broken ties with the fox spirit.

"I'm fine, I'm used to winning and losing as a professional." Xiao Qing said incorrectly, "We have also lost in the past two seasons, and I will not be too frustrated because of winning or losing a game." ”

Anna glanced at Xiao Qing, anyone could see that Xiao Qing was very unhappy now, and it was obviously a joke to say that Xiao Qing didn't care about winning or losing a game. Xiao Qing still has a strong desire to win, especially at such a critical moment, Xiao Qing does not allow the team to lose. So after losing the game with Chelsea, Xiao Qing seemed a little sullen.

Xiao Qing is indeed sulking, angry with himself, angry with the team.

He really didn't show much in this game, as the core of the team's attack, although the team did work hard in this game; But if you can't score in the game, then Xiao Qing really needs to bear a lot of responsibility. Some people may think that Xiao Qing can't get enough support from his teammates, but as the core, this is not a reason to shirk.

As the core, what Xiao Qing needs is to help the team play an excellent offense, and he needs to help the team open up the situation on the offensive end. As for this game, Arsenal did not perform better in attack, which was also because Xiao Qing's containment was limited, and he did not completely suppress Chelsea's defense in the game. This is not only because Xiao Qing did not get enough support from his teammates, but also because Xiao Qing did not give his teammates enough support.

Xiao Qing is really sulking now, this kind of game should not be his performance, he should have performed better in the game, what he needs is to help the team win at Stamford Bridge and score goals. However, the team not only failed to complete the pre-game plan well, but was even completely suppressed in the game, which is the last thing Arsenal players want to see, and it does make Arsenal players very hurt.

The defeat in the first leg also means that the Arsenal players need to win at home in the second leg; Now Arsenal have been pushed to the edge of the cliff and the second leg is not to be missed for Arsenal. Arsenal need to win the game at the Emirates Stadium and also need to limit Chelsea's away goals.

So the current Arsenal players need to work harder, and they can't afford to make any mistakes in the next games; Arsenal are aiming to complete a third consecutive Champions League title this season and they cannot afford to fall at this time. What Arsenal need is a win and a further race to the Champions League final to win supremacy.

Although Xiao Qing was sulking, he was still very confident; It's just a round of the game, then in the next game Arsenal will definitely perform better, they know their current performance and situation, they also know Chelsea's tactical choices, then the next game is very simple, that is, Arsenal will go all out, they will break out in a desperate situation, Arsenal will advance at home to achieve the final victory.

Let Chelsea be happy for the time being, it's just a round, and Arsenal will still be absolutely sure of the final victory; It's just a one-goal gap and the Gunners will be confident of breaking Chelsea's tortoise shell. Don't provoke a sleeping lion, because that will only provoke the lion's ferocity.

Xiao Qing is like this now, his performance in the first round of the game is very sluggish, which also makes Xiao Qing now have higher requirements for himself; Since he couldn't score in the first leg, Xiao Qing would definitely not allow such a performance in the second leg.

As the first player in the active team, as the best striker, Xiao Qing allows himself to be in a temporary slump, but it must not be such a slump all the time; Xiao Qing feels that he has adjusted now, even if Chelsea will continue to defend in the second leg, Xiao Qing will definitely be able to break out under strong pressure, although Chelsea may work harder on the defensive end, but Xiao Qing can guarantee that he can break any defense.

Now that there is no way back, Arsenal naturally needs to ensure a better performance at this time; Now they are just one goal behind, so the Gunners will not lose confidence because of a defeat in one game. It is necessary for professional players to maintain self-confidence at all times, and for Arsenal players, they will naturally not lack confidence; Arsenal's unrivalled success over the past two seasons has also made the Arsenal players more confident on the pitch, and in the second leg they will show everyone that Arsenal are in high spirits.

However, there is not much time for the current Arsenal players to be frustrated because they still need to continue to work hard because not only in the Champions League, but also in the league. The league title is now at its most critical juncture, and Arsenal need to win the Champions League at this time, and they need to achieve their strategic goals at this time. When Arsenal wins the league title, it will naturally be relatively easy in the Champions League. (To be continued......)
