Chapter 451: Arsenal is also quite hard

Chelsea have always been seen by fans as a symbol of iron-bloodedness, and Arsenal have often been complained about by arch-rivals Chelsea fans for their lack of fighting spirit.

But this season's Arsenal is a little different, they really dare to fight, completely subverting everyone's impression of Arsenal.

And this game seems to have once again subverted everyone's discipline, Arsenal fell behind by three goals and had one less person to fight, but still did not shrink back on the field, but bravely attacked. And when defending, both in action and momentum, they suppressed the home team Chelsea, which occupied an absolute advantage.

"Perhaps given the approaching World Cup, it is safer for the Chelsea players who have taken the lead to play. No one wants to miss this great stage due to injury, and for a professional footballer, the World Cup winner and the state championship in his or her own state are the most important and proven things in life. ”

"Arsenal's players obviously want to get out of front of their mortal enemies, and at this time they may have forgotten about the World Cup, in fact, Arsenal is also quite hard."

It was really said right by the commentator, considering that the World Cup is still three months away. So when they were three goals ahead and the opposition was one man less, the Chelsea players played safer. Avoiding the possibility of physical contact with the opposition, Hazard avoided Flamini's flying tackle during a confrontation on the wing. dodged directly and decisively, and at the same time, the ball at his feet was also broken by the opponent.

Although Hazard's talent and ability make it almost impossible for him to be excluded by the head coach of the Belgian national team, if it is because of injury, the manager will not be able to help.

So he played very safely, as for Flamini's French midfield, he may not be able to be called up to the 23-man squad for training, so he naturally dares to fight.

Arsenal's aggressive scramble paid off in the 38th minute. In the course of a not-so-resolute attack from Chelsea, Aaron Ramsey cut off the ball at Oscar's feet in a central midfield position. Although Oscar is flexible and delicate in his feet, he has a fatal flaw, that is, his body is thin, and he is a scum with only five combat effectiveness in body contact

Even Li Zihan's figure is a little stronger than him, and Han Niang's figure now belongs to the relatively standard body of a football player. It doesn't look as weak as Oscar, nor is it as "bloated" as some big guys.

Ramsey naturally got up one step ahead of Oscar, and then pulled Lampard to rush to support, and then passed the ball to Li Zihan before rushing to support.

Li Zihan then passed the ball to Ozil, and then cut forward to run.

Mesut Ozil split the side to Oxlade-Chamberlain, who burst through the touchline and then suddenly dispatched a long pass. He fed Wilshere on the other side with a pinpoint long ball that the Chelsea players were clearly unprepared for, or rather less attentive to, the sudden pass

Wilshire lifted his foot and removed the ball beautifully, the ball sticking to his instep as if it had been glued.

Wilshere then burst in from the flanks with the ball and caught Chelsea off guard.

Ivanovic couldn't find a good time to get off the ground and had to run side by side with Wilshere.

Coming to the side close to the baseline, the little threat Wilshere immediately stepped on the ball and made a quick stop. Ivanovic, who came from the center back to the wing to play as a cameo full-back, was unprepared for a while, and was given inertia to the front of Wilshere.

Fortunately, Ivanovich reacted quickly and immediately chased back.

At this time, Wilshere raised his foot to make a cross, but Ivanovic did not dare to be careless and immediately stretched out his foot to block.

And Wilshere's pass was a feint and he didn't do it right away. Pass the ball out. Instead, he waited for Ivanovic to stretch out his foot before passing the ball, a ground ball.

The ball went between Ivanovic's feet and laterally into the middle of the box.

Wilshire !! Wear the crotch!! Nice passing. ”

"Look at Arsenal's central outflanking Lee!!"

Li Zihan has already run towards the small penalty area, and Terry is also running parallel to him to the small penalty area, but Terry is on the left side of Li Zihan, if according to the plot, Terry can grab the control of the ball before him.

After Li Zihan made a quick run in front of the goal, he fell to the ground and slid over, which was to grab the ball for the first time.

Terry was not ambiguous, and immediately followed Li Zihan to slide and shovel.

The ball was not tackled by Terry in front of Li Zihan as in the plot, the ball hit Terry's leg, and then bounced up slightly, but he continued to move in the direction of Terry's right, that is, Li Zihan.

But Li Zihan quickly lifted his left leg and kicked the ball of his foot when the right foot slid to no avail!

The sole of his shoe made a close contact with the ball, and then the ball was pushed in the direction of the goal by the sole of his shoe.

Cech misjudged this time, and his nerves for such a shot that were no longer young could not react.

The ball then slipped between Petr Cech's saved hands and flew straight into the Chelsea goal.

Li Zihan !! A very nice goalmouth slide to pull one back for Arsenal!! ”

"This ball Li Zihan shot beautifully, he almost lost the best time, and snatched the opportunity back!! Of course, Wilshere's passing was also beautifully done. ”

'It's the reward for the hard work of the Arsenal players, who are still only two goals behind.

"Sure enough, it was Arsenal's key Mr. Lee who stood up at the critical moment!! His goal was a bad breath for Arsenal, but could it be that happening again? ”

Everyone knows what Hellhouse is referring to: the "night of miracles" that took place at the Etihad and Anfield.

Li Zihan did not take the celebration after the goal, he ran behind Cech very calmly, picked up the ball and ran to the center circle.

"This is Lee, and this scene is no stranger to us. When Arsenal was behind, Li Zihan would not celebrate after scoring a goal, but would save a little time that could be saved, and then let the game restart. ”

The Arsenal players are also very familiar with Li Zihan's character, so they didn't celebrate, just waved their fists very excitedly, and then cooperated with Li Zihan to re-enter the game.

Seeing his team score, Wenger's brow was not fully relaxed, as the manager he still knows very well the situation of the team - they are still two goals behind!!

Li Zihan's goal was like a shot in the heart of Arsenal, and the Arsenal players became more positive after the restart of the game.

Because this goal made them realize that they were playing the right way, so they kept playing like this!!

The rivalry between the two teams continued to be fierce, and of course, Arsenal's players were a little more "desperate". Even an organised striker like Mesut Ozil frequently tackles to join the scramble in the front and the defense in midfield, considering the shortage of manpower on his side, Ramsey did not actively attack forward, but stayed in the midfield to help the team defend, of course, once the opportunity is right he will still resolutely insert.

Chelsea's players, although more active, are still a little less than Arsenal's players.

What's the hurry, it's still two goals ahead, and the opponent has one less person! -- That's what the vast majority of Chelsea players think.

But Frank Lampard, an experienced midfielder and the soul of the Chelsea team, is clearly not one of them. He had seen that something was wrong, so he wanted to remind his team-mates. But the shape on the scene was so fast that he didn't have time to remind him at all.

"Arsenal is really fighting, look at Ozil is simply a sea change, when he was at Real Madrid, how could he be so active in defense, and in the time he came to Arsenal, let alone defense. Even after the team fell behind, he looked weak. But now, he's actually become a desperate Saburo! ”

Of course, it was not all in the direction of Arsenal's advantage, and the big action of pressing naturally had to pay the price, and the only midfielder, Ramsey, and Flamini, who had arrived at full-back, received a yellow card one after another.

Don't underestimate these two yellow cards, in the case of Arsenal with one less, their defense is already clumsy, and now the main defensive full-backs and midfielders have also eaten cards, for the next game, they will be smaller in action, and at the same time have a lot more scruples.

In the strong dialogue, these seemingly small problems may become the ultimate reason for dominating the entire outcome of the game.

For Chelsea, Arsenal's biggest threat to them is not the Gunners' traditional cross-cutting combinations, but their speed advantage.

Li Zihan and Oxlade-Chamberlain's speed is fast enough, and then add Wilshere's attacking midfielder, who is not slow

After being rushed by the three of them a few times, how long can Chelsea's not very troubled defense last?

When the game entered first-half stoppage time, the scene changed again.

Li Zihan's dribble break caused the Chelsea backline to 'fly and jump', while Schurrle, who had been asked by manager Jose Mourinho to drop back to help the defence, brought down Li Zihan in the right position in the middle.

Schurrle's defensive ability is not strong, after all, his "professional" is attacking, and he is a fast horse on the wing, and the defense is even more embarrassing.

So I simply committed a foul and got a yellow card

Schurrle's yellow card is not important for Arsenal, as the attacking player can avoid fouling himself in the following games. So for Arsenal, they would rather see the difficult "newcomer" Matic in the Chelsea camp receive a yellow card, and it is better than Schurrle.

So what Arsenal care about is this set-piece in front, compared to Schurrle's yellow card, for them this referee to give a direct free kick in front of the field is obviously more important.
