On 19 September, Chelsea host Tottenham Hotspur, led by Robbie Keane. It is worth mentioning that in the Premier League match played the day before, Arsenal, which had won five consecutive games in the league, was finally forced to draw by Bolton Wanderers with a score of 2:2 at home. That is, if Chelsea take all three points in this game, they will be ahead of defending champions Arsenal on points for the first time.

Amid a flurry of shouting from the north London fans, Arsène Wenger expressed regret after the game that he could not get three points at home, and at the same time fiercely criticized the referee on the spot, believing that it was his misjudgment that caused Arsenal to be held to a draw at home.

At the press conference before the start of the sixth round of the league, a reporter asked Qiao Wanxian about last night's Arsenal game, Qiao Wanxian said bluntly: "Their unbeaten record has reached 44 games, which is already a very surprising result. I think Arsene Wenger should be a little more generous, the FA and the referees have been very friendly to him and Arsenal, and of course I don't comment on any referee. ”

Qiao Wanxian said this more tactfully, and the reporters who are good at expanding their thinking have already discovered the hidden meaning in his words.

Is this a satire on Arsenal's 44-game unbeaten run, and what is the mystery behind it? Or is Jo Wanxian ready, and after Eriksson, Mourinho, and Ferguson, his cannon is once again aimed at Professor Arsene Wenger?

The reporters were like chickens, and they had already thought about the next step in their minds.

However, Tottenham Hotspur coach Santini had a silent face, did not smile, and looked confident. The former French boss did not seem to praise Chelsea's tactical line-up, as the media reporters had expected at the beginning, but only said something meaningful: "I am not a perfectionist, because I believe that there is absolutely no such thing as perfection in the world!" ”

Of course, Qiao Wanxian understood that Santini was insinuating to satirize himself, but he didn't care about it at all, arguing with such a little person, he couldn't mention that temperament.

But after the ball was kicked off at 23:05 in the evening, Tottenham Hotspur's tactics directly sounded the alarm for Qiao Wanxian.

Tottenham's starting lineup today is goalkeeper Robinson, defenders Eedman, Naibet, King, Kelly, midfielders Simon Davies, Reckertenham, Brown, Mendes, and forwards Keane and Defoe.

Although it is also a 4-4-2 lineup, although the lineup is obviously a lot weaker than Manchester United, Santini has an advantage over Ferguson, that is, he has watched six games from Chelsea! I have a preliminary understanding of Qiao Wanxian's tactics, and Ferguson will no longer be caught off guard like in the first round of the league.

Tottenham's tactical thinking today was simple, to disrupt Chelsea's fluid attack through the powerful collision and brutal interception of eight men in the midfield. He also took advantage of the emptiness of Chelsea's three-front-midfield and single-back midfield system to allow Simon Davies and Brown to move on the wings and create chaos in Chelsea's defence.

Football has developed for more than 100 years, and it can be said that the emergence and development of each set of formations have been tested by theory and practice, whether it is 3-5-2, 4-4-2, or 4-2-3-1, or 4-1-4-1, there is a reason for the existence of these formations, which can echo each other on the football field, defend and counterattack, attack and defend, or balance offense and defense.

In the history of football, there has never been such a strange formation of 3 forwards and single backs as Qiao Wanxian. 4-1-3-2, which only appears in the game shijie. Even Carlo Ancelotti's Christmas tree formation, with four No.10s, has a clear midfielder to be involved in the task of defending on the wings.

However, in the Chelsea squad, Qiao Wanxian handed over all the defensive tasks to the five men in the midfield.

The two main offensive means of football today are: penetration in the middle and attack on the wing. This is the reason why the Weishenme double back system will gradually become the mainstream tactic in Shijie football.

With the strong interception of the double back back, it is very difficult to easily penetrate from the middle. Wing assault? When defending, the two midfielders, one left and one right, can assist the two full-backs to hold two wing lines at the same time, making it difficult for the attacker to play.

At this time, the drawbacks of Joe's cannon's whimsical formation became apparent. There is only one midfielder in the whole team, Makellele, even if he is super strong and can hold the midfield defense, Tottenham cannot successfully penetrate from the middle, but what about the attack on the wing? He is a single midfielder, does he take care of the left side of the defence, or is he involved in the right side of the defense?

Want Joe Cole and Kaka to come back and be involved in the defense? It's simply not possible.

The Tottenham coach studied the video of the last Champions League match between Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, and then flipped through the starting list announced in advance on the "Times", and couldn't help laughing, it was the 4-1-3-2 again! 3 forward midfield, double striker offensive routine.

Tottenham's style of play today was clear, disrupting the attack with brutal defence and getting chances by constantly attacking Chelsea's wings.

If Makelele is involved in the left side of the defense, I will move the ball to the right, and if I am involved in the right side of the defense, I will transfer the ball to the left, and the anxious Makelele will run desperately in the half, with all his strength, but there is no place to exert it.

And Bridge is not a top full-back, Ramos is still very young, and naturally, Tottenham has more and more opportunities. After 30 minutes of the first half, detailed jishu statistics were made, including 69% possession by Chelsea, 8 shots on goal, 6 corners and 2 free kicks. It's not surprising that Chelsea have such statistics, but it is strange that Tottenham have also had five shots on goal in those 30 minutes! There were even 4 corners and 3 free kicks!

The inconspicuous Tottenham Hotspur has even greater stats than Manchester United!

Seeing that the situation on the field was exactly as he expected, Tottenham Hotspur coach Santini stood on the sidelines with a smile on his face, and from time to time he glanced at Qiao Wan on the side, showing his complacency.

Tottenham used a savage and vicious foul at a time, and received waves of boos from Stamford Bridge fans, but Tottenham did not seem to be bothered by this boo from top to bottom, and still went their own way to attack according to the manager's intentions.

Finally, at the 38th minute mark, the scoreboard in the stadium was rewritten!

When Makelele helped the anxious Ramos to participate in the team's right side defense, Brown's clever cross handed the ball to Regettenham Jr., Simon Davies and Recktenham made a collision with the wall, and lightly passed Chelsea's left full-back Bridge, Terry hurried forward to make up for the defense, but between the flashes, the change of Chelsea's defense line did not go smoothly, England striker Defoe received a cross from Simon Davies, and the header broke through the Czech goalkeeper's ten fingers!

The score that no one expected, 1:0! The leader turned out to be Tottenham Hotspur, who was visiting away!

The more than 40,000 Blues fans who were present immediately gasped, revealing a frightened face. The most important thing is that Chelsea seem to be in poor form today, giving Tottenham too many chances to shoot, is it the physical exhaustion brought on by the two games in a week?

The commentator at the scene was also dumbfounded for a while, and after a pause for a while, he said dejectedly: "It seems that the game with Paris Saint-Germain consumed too much physical energy of the players, and today ...... Mr. Qiao Wanxian's team is afraid that they will give Tottenham a big bargain at home......"

"Idiot!"

"Brain-dead!"

"You can die!"

……

Chelsea fans were already annoyed because the score was behind, and when they heard the commentator's frustrating words, they immediately burst into scolding, so frightened that the on-site commentator quickly turned off the sound effect, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe.

Even Qiao Wanxian, who has always been breezy and calm, stood on the edge of the field with a frown, his face was cold, looking at the Tottenham players who were celebrating wildly on the field, his eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Back in the coach's seat, assistant coach Boas whispered: "Wan Xian, it seems that Santini has seen the shortcomings of our formation, and the team must make changes." ”

"Change? How to change? Qiao Wanxian is desperate to save face, especially in the face of Boas, who is like an "apprentice", he doesn't want to change his impression of being a "celestial".

Boas thought slowly: "Actually, the 3 forward formation is not unheard of before, it's just ...... 3. The front waist must be equipped with a double back waist, only in this way can the balance of the whole team be achieved. In particular, Kaka and Joe Cole have zero chance of defensive ability, so the defensive pressure is too great. ”

"In your opinion?"

Villas-Boas said earnestly: "Remove Irving, replace Scott Parker, and use the physically stronger and taller Rooney as the single arrow, so that the team can achieve both offense and defense." ”

"Replace Owen? Isn't that a joke, my Shengyuan No. 1 was used for nothing? Qiao Wanxian shook his head again and again, and bluntly vetoed: "It's not good, your substitution method is too rigid!" Let's wait and see, let's make substitutions in the second half. ”

"Adjust in the second half?" Villas-Boas couldn't help but smile bitterly, now the situation on the field is out of control, after Tottenham scored a goal, the players pounced like mad dogs, aren't you afraid of being scored by Tottenham again?

Sure enough, just 42 minutes into the game, England striker Defoe received a flat kick from Robbie Keane after cutting in from the right and stabbed the goal again!

2:0, Defoe scored twice, Tottenham scored a perfect first half of the game!

"Hey......"

Amid the endless boos, the fans at Stamford Bridge let out a burst of lamentation, and even Roman Abramovich in the VIP box looked grim and glanced at the Chelsea dugout from time to time.

Many Arsenal fans who watched the game in bars and cafes applauded enthusiastically after seeing the goal of their rival Tottenham Hotspur. At this moment, how can they still care about whether Tottenham Hotspur is Arsenal's sworn enemy, but care that once Chelsea loses this game, Arsenal will be at the top of the table for the first time this season!
