No. 427: Three consecutive games against Chelsea

Three to one, Manchester United defeated Wigan Athletic and returned to the top of the league after a round of matches.

After this game, Arsenal fans were very dissatisfied, this was simply match-fixing, Manchester United and Aston Villa were so shameless, especially Manchester United, they were simply mad.

Arsenal fans immediately besieged Manchester United, and Manchester United fans were frantically cursing Arsenal, who and what Arsenal people simply can't afford to lose, a bunch of clowns.

Anyway, at this time, the fans of Manchester United and the Arsenal team are very noisy.

Arsène Wenger has no time to focus on these things, and he is now focusing on the Champions League game, which is about to travel to Chelsea.

At this time, Arsenal will play three Chelsea games in a row, the first of which is the first leg of the Champions League semi-final in midweek, after which Arsenal will return to their home stadium to face Chelsea in the league, and next week, Arsenal will also host Chelsea at their home stadium in midweek, the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final.

At this time, Arsenal have three games against Chelsea, and it's definitely a very tough schedule, very, very hard.

However, there was no way, the Arsenal team had to grit their teeth.

Now everyone can see that Arsenal's main focus is still in the Champions League, while Chelsea has long put their energy into the Champions League, and this game is already a game like Mars hitting the earth.

All eyes are on this fixture now, and the day before this game, the first leg of another Champions League semi-final of this season had been played as Bayern Munich took the lead with a 2-1 win over Real Madrid at their home stadium.

In this game, the Arsenal team naturally played with all the main forces, Dongfang Chen also appeared in the starting list, and his partner was naturally Henry, the king of Highbury.

At this time, Walcott's injury was healed, but he did not appear in the starting line-up after returning from injury, but waited on the bench for his chance.

At the beginning of the game, the Chelsea team did not show the momentum of the home team, but instead played like an away game, putting out a turtle shell, preparing to defend and counterattack.

Arsenal, on the other hand, are attacking from the start, and it is clear that Arsène Wenger wants to win away at Chelsea and even get more clean sheets.

At the beginning of the game, Dongfang Chen got a very good chance, he received a wonderful pass from Henry in the penalty area, and then turned directly to sweep the ball, and pumped the football into the far corner of the goal.

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech reacted very quickly, falling straight to the ground and slapping the ball off the line with one palm.

Arsenal won a corner, Arteta sent the ball directly into the Chelsea penalty area with a straight arc, Dongfang Chen beat Terry, and smashed the ball into the Chelsea goal.

It's Cech again, this guy is like a goalkeeper, once again blocking Arsenal's goal.

The Chelsea fans were so excited that they cheered and gave the Chelsea team a round of applause.

Continuing the corner, Arteta sent a direct ball this time, and the rushing Henry fired a direct shot that went just over the crossbar.

At the beginning of the game, the Arsenal team showed a very strong attacking power, while the Chelsea team only had a defensive part, which made all the Chelsea fans on the scene anxious.

The game continued and it wasn't until the 16th minute that Chelsea had their first shot of the day. Drogba received the ball in front, turned straight and fired a long-range shot.

You don't look at this guy's long-range shot as if he was forced to be helpless, but this guy's long-range shot was full of threat, and the football shot quickly towards the Arsenal goal.

Fortunately, Handanovic was focused, otherwise he would have almost been attacked by Drogba.

Chelsea also won a corner when Ramirez curled the ball away from the Arsenal penalty area. In the penalty area, Ridrogba jumped high and smashed his head into the ball.

However, the football was pushed out of the box by Mertesacker, and the Arsenal fans cheered loudly.

However, it was Frank Lampard who appeared outside the box, and Lampard rushed up and fired a direct shot that sent the ball hurtling towards the Arsenal box.

The ball was really fast and powerful, Handanovic made a quick sideways pounce without touching the ball, and the ball flew off the bottom line against the post, and the scene immediately resounded with a burst of regret from the Chelsea fans.

Chelsea don't have many chances, so it's a shame that they didn't take advantage of them.

After that, it was almost Arsenal who were attacking the Chelsea goal. Chelsea, on the other hand, were struggling defensively and had occasional counter-attacking opportunities.

Don't look at the Chelsea team's counter-attacking opportunities, but every counter-attacking opportunity is full of threat. Arsenal fans and Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger were nervous.

At the end of the first half, the two sides were tied 0-0 and neither side scored.

Neither side was very happy with the result, after the start of the second half, Arsenal's attack was obviously more ferocious, and Chelsea's counterattack was also a little stronger, and it was clear that both sides wanted to win this game.

In the tenth minute of the second half, Dongfang Chen stopped the ball on his chest, and then gave the football to Henry with his heel, Henry moved sideways, and then suddenly pulled out his foot and shot angrily, and the football was slightly off the goal.

This goal scared Cech, he thought it was a missed goal, but he didn't expect their luck to be good in the end.

It didn't take long for the Arsenal team's attack to come again, this time it was Dongfang Chen who came up single-handedly. Dongfang Chen continued to toss and turn in the front of the Chelsea team's penalty area, continuously broke through the defense of the Chelsea team's three, and then directly shot low from the position of one step in the big penalty area.

The ball went to the far corner of the Chelsea goal.

Peter Cech fell to the ground and pounced on the ball without touching the football, and both Peter, Cech and the Chelseamen felt finished.

Just as the ball was about to roll into the back of the net, Chelsea full-back Ashley Cole made a sliding tackle that sent the ball to the bottom line.

The Chelsea fans immediately gave Ashley Cole a thunderous round of applause, cheering and jumping with excitement. I was happy and excited, as if I had let them score a goal.

Arsenal fans are very sorry, this goal is a very good opportunity, but it's a pity that it's a little bit worse, it's a pity.

Corner, Arsenal won another corner.

Mikel Arteta sent a straight curl in front of him, Dongchen confusing all Chelsea's letting gos, and Koscielny at the back post had a very good chance, but his header hit the post and bounced off the line.

Suddenly, all the Arsenal fans on the scene erupted in greater regret, this goal is the best chance, but unfortunately God is not on their side today.

Arsenal's attack has overwhelmed Chelsea, but the Chelseans are still holding on and looking for opportunities to counter-attack.

They didn't have to wait long and a few minutes later Chelsea had a great chance to counter-attack when Frank Lampard's pass cut straight through Arsenal's defence and Malouda on the wing dribbled into the Arsenal box.

Arsenal's returning players immediately pounced and intercepted. At this time, Malouda passed the football back to Drogba, who was following up.

Looking at the incoming ball, Drogba directly volleyed the ball into the far corner of the goal.

Didier Drogba's shot was powerful and fast, but Handanovic's quick sideways save didn't touch the football, which went straight into the Arsenal goal.

At 1-0, Chelsea took the lead over Arsenal on their home turf and the Chelseans cheered.

On the sidelines, Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger's face instantly looked bad, he suddenly became anxious, hurried to the sidelines, shouted loudly at the stadium, signaling the Arsenal players to strengthen the attack, crazy attack, and strive for an equalizer.

Naturally, the Arsenal players didn't want to lose the game just like that, and they immediately attacked like crazy, attacking around the Chelsea goal, they wanted to score goals, they wanted to win.

Dongfang Chen has worked very hard, they have created a few very dangerous attacks, but they have not found the goal.

Theo Walcott, who returned from injury, also came on late and had a great chance after coming on. But he wasted Dongfang Chen's wonderful pass, and he sent the ball directly into Petr's arms, and Cech didn't move at all.

In the end, Arsenal lost 0-1 to Chelsea on the road.

Arsène Wenger's face is very ugly, and he is really empty-handed at this moment. Not only lost to Wigan Athletic in the league, but also lost the top spot in the league. And we lost to Chelsea in the Champions League, which is really bad.

Of course, at this time, Arsenal have not been eliminated yet, and they still have a chance to play a home game. And now they're just 1-0 down, so it's not a big difference, they still have a chance, just a home win over Chelsea.

Of course, Arsenal have one more league game against Chelsea before the second leg of the Champions League.

In this game, the Arsenal team lined up a semi-main lineup. Chelsea, on the other hand, have made full substitutions and even added some youth team players, and it can be seen that Chelsea don't care about the league at all now, and their goal is the Champions League.

Although he knew that the Chelsea team wanted to drain the fitness of the Arsenal players, Arsène Wenger still lined up a semi-main line-up, and to be honest, he still couldn't let go of the league and wanted the league title. Fish and bear's paws, he wants both.

Naturally, Chelsea's substitutes and youth players could not resist Arsenal in this game, and in the end Arsenal won 3-0 on their home turf. Dongfang Chen did not play in this game, and his league goal drought was naturally not broken, and it was Walcott who scored. Theo Walcoat scored a hat-trick and was in great form.
