Two Hundred and Sixty-Five, Championship Fight (Atonement 1st Update)
Chelsea have big ambitions and this game is definitely a tough test, with Arsenal and Chelsea going hand in hand in the Premier League, Manchester United being left behind and Liverpool even worse than Newcastle United.
The battle for the championship is naturally the greatest significance given to this game.
Every second of the Chelsea players can feel the constant hostility on the pitch at Highbury.
In the past, the biggest enemy of Arsenal fans was Tottenham, and then Manchester United, but in addition to the derby, Tottenham can be regarded as the number one, the real opponent is Manchester United, but, in addition to Manchester United, now there is Chelsea as a neighbor.
Manchester United are in third place with a nine points difference, which is a huge gap, and the league is already in the 22nd round, and according to the current trend, it seems that it will be a little difficult for Manchester United to catch up with Arsenal.
If you want to defend your title, you have to beat Chelsea!
The Gunners booed as much as they could from the stands, hoping to cause some disruption to the enemy.
It's not that Arsenal haven't lost at home, it's not a big deal, but, at this time, they must not lose to Chelsea, this is Arsenal's determination.
Chelsea wanted to win, but they felt the same madness of today's opponents.
It should be said that Chelsea and Arsenal have both dropped some seemingly unfortunate points in some games, and Chelsea have suffered a heavy blow at Everton, but both teams are still on the same level.
Arsenal's tactics haven't changed much, it's still their old routine.
However, after some minor changes. Especially against Chelsea's tactics, Arsenal have made a bold adjustment. Simplify the process of passing the midfield and pass it as soon as possible. Then help the strikers press the Chelsea defence and then move back to re-establish the midfield.
It may seem more troublesome, but it works well, and Chelsea's defensive advantage is minimized.
In particular, Bergkamp's position has been moved back to make Arsenal's attacking fluidity much better than before.
Bergkamp handled the ball with unusual composure, with Chelsea's defenders having a hard time breaking the ball right at his feet, and Vieira gave the Dutchman a lot of protection and greatly improved Arsenal's attacking continuity.
Lynn noticed the role of Bergkamp and didn't have to judge for himself. The wonderful cheers for Bergkamp in the stands are proof of this.
Bergkamp is not young, but like Chelsea's Gianfranco Zola, he is extremely experienced and has played an unexpected role in key moments.
In front of the Chelsea penalty area, this is a nuclear warhead, not only can he shoot suddenly, but more importantly, his playmaking and passing are no less than his shots.
In the fifteenth minute, facing Emerson's defense. Bergkamp gently picked the ball past and made the whole Shijie fall for it.
Sitting in the coach's seat, Lynn saw Bergkamp's exquisite performance and couldn't help but admire Bergkamp's super strength in his heart.
That's what a superstar is. Omnipotent.
Maybe Arsenal just wanted to let Bergkamp retreat in order to deal with Chelsea, maybe there was some inconsistency in the whole team, but. The effect is clear, and the Chelsea defence is under extreme pressure.
How to deal with Bergkamp's play. The method that Lynn came up with was to isolate and have his players close to the mark. Regardless of whether Bergkamp had the ball at his feet or not, he kept an eye on it, even going to the point of fouling to prevent him from controlling the ball.
This is the only way to cut off his contact with the rest of the pitch as much as possible, and Bergkamp has already made a couple of good passes, and if it weren't for the concentration of the rest of the Chelsea players in defence, Van der Sar's door might have been lost.
Chelsea also played an attacking tactic, both teams wanted to break the deadlock first, and then comfortably play on the counter-attack, so both Wenger and Lynn knew very well that if they wanted to win, they had to make sure they didn't concede the goal first and hold on to the win in order to win.
In fact, in the pre-game tactical meeting, Lynn still emphasized defense, which was the focus of the game.
However, when defending Bergkamp, Emerson was obviously a little powerless, Bergkamp's running position was very erratic, often hiding behind Vieira, using passes from time to time to distract Chelsea's attention, and after finding a flaw, he suddenly came to a straight stop!
In the 29th minute, Bergkamp's pass penetrated the Chelsea defence.
There, Ljungberg received the football!
Seeing that Ljungberg had a chance, there was an immediate huge cheer from the stands at Highbury, and the Arsenal fans finally saw the hope of taking the lead!
However, after the flag in the hands of the linesman was raised high, the fans in the stadium let out an extremely tragic lament!
It's a pity, how can it be offside!
The big screen was unwillingly repeated several times, which made Arsenal fans stunned, and at the moment of passing, Ljungberg did surpass Terry by half a position!
This damn referee is not bad at all, where is the usual generosity?
This was also the result of Lynn's last big fight, and the current Premier League referees are very careful when they encounter Chelsea games, and never give the madman an excuse to go berserk.
It was clear on the screen that Ljungberg started to kick in the moment of Bergkamp's pass, but Terry, who was dragging Zuihou, took a clever step forward.
With that small step, Ljungberg was offside and Arsenal's attack came to naught.
Ljungberg didn't seem to notice the fact that he was indeed offside on the big screen, and he waved his hand to the linesman in frustration, not knowing what to say, obviously very unhappy with the decision.
Lynn frowned, this is a dangerous signal, if it weren't for Terry's nimble mind and an offside position, otherwise in the situation just now, once Ljungberg broke through, it would be difficult for Chelsea's goal to guarantee anything.
Bergkamp was flexible today, with Emerson and Frank Lampard running out of options.
It was Chelsea's turn to attack.
Both wings were stubbornly defended by Arsenal when they were advancing, and basically did not achieve the desired effect.
The two full-backs started to exert their strength, and this time it was Panucci who started to help Stanic here, and the two men cooperated to attack.
This time, we finally succeeded in delivering the ball to the intended location.
After Anelka received the ball, Arsenal's defense was also tense, and in the past few games, Arsenal has been abused by this guy!
No one dared to underestimate him. Because as soon as this guy touches Arsenal, he will play beyond the previous state, and always create some memorable disasters for Arsenal!
The narrator shouted excitedly, "Anelka! He received a pass! Arsenal have to be careful, he never disappoints the Chelsea fans in every meeting! ”
Lynn is also looking forward to it, Arsenal played much better than ever in this game, and Lynn himself has never felt so strong against his opponent.
After receiving the ball, Anelka was surrounded by Arsenal's backline before he could make a choice, and he had to use his excellent foot jishu and ball protection skills to maintain control of the ball.
"Alas, alas," sighed as the commentators waited to see Arsenal's burgeoning commentary, Anelka seemed to have no way out.
In fact, Anelka really has no choice, it is almost impossible to shoot, and he wants to pass the ball? There doesn't seem to be a route anymore.
However, the next scene made the fans in the stadium stunned!
Anelka suddenly caught the ball between his feet before Campbell could stretch his feet, and jumped between Campbell and Pire, just like a Mexican buddy!
"Oh-" The narrators can only express their feelings with tone interjections.
Just when the Arsenal players were stunned, Anelka passed the ball out.
Ronaldo received a pass from Anelka almost unguarded!
There was a smooth road ahead of him!
Ronaldo accelerates towards the goal and continues to attack!
Lynn, like the Chelsea fans, clenched her fists in anticipation!
"Danger! Ronaldo -- "The commentator roared loudly, the game will be more exciting as long as there are goals, this is what every commentator wants to see.
Keown, who was dragging in Zuihou, woke up like a dream and immediately rushed over and pounced on Ronaldo! (To be continued......)
