'The quarter-finals between Arsenal and Chelsea came unexpectedly to extra-time, with the two teams playing to a 5-5 draw after a regular 180-minute tie over two legs, with the same goal on the road, both goals equal.

Chelsea have the advantage of being at home, but if Arsenal can score one more goal, Chelsea will have to score two more goals to knock them out, and it is unclear what Arsene Wenger and Mourinho will decide in extra-time. ”

Jose Mourinho envisioned that in extra-time, as long as Arsenal dared to attack, then Chelsea could drag Arsenal down in a tug-of-war.

He prepared a set of tactics for Chelsea to weaken the defence and attack suddenly, from a back three to a double and finally to a single midfielder.

But when extra time started, Mourinho was stunned to find that Arsenal actually played the ultimate defense!

Henry, who was at the front, was almost walking, his physical strength was already at the end of his strength, and now he could only accumulate strength while waiting for a good opportunity to come.

Ljungberg also withdrew to the back to defence, and Arsenal's counter-attacking campaign relied on two points: Cesc Fabregas and Bergkamp.

If the two can break through the Chelsea defence and give Henry a good chance, Arsenal's counter-attacking threat will be straight to the Chelsea goal!

Arsene Wenger had put all his concerns behind at this moment and had to go with the flow.

If Arsenal take the initiative to attack, they will inevitably lose in the back-and-forth attack, and now it will only be up to Chelsea to respond.

He wants Chelsea to think they have a physical advantage and take the initiative to press the attack.

But Mourinho hesitated.

You must know that in the early days of Arsene Wenger's tenure at Arsenal, Arsenal's most determined tactic was to defend and counterattack.

Jose Mourinho knows that Chelsea's attacking ability is not enough.

From the time he took over to this day, Chelsea have actually had only one way to play: counter-attacking!

Positional warfare?

Just because you've beaten doesn't mean you'll be able to fight!

Besides, the opponent is still at the level of Arsenal.

The shape shì was reversed.

In a regular 180-minute two-legged match. Arsenal appear to have the initiative on the pitch. But on the offensive threat to create zào. Chelsea have an advantage, and Arsenal will always expose space at the back because of attacking, allowing Chelsea to take advantage of counter-attacking opportunities to play what they are good at.

After extra-time, Chelsea had the initiative at Stamford Bridge, but Mourinho understood that the initiative was only superficial, and if he thought he would have won the game. Then he is certainly not a strong supporter of anti-utilitarian football.

And if Chelsea play what they are not good at, and the defence is exposed, then who is the dominant side?

Arsenal!

Arsene Wenger commanded the team's defense on the sidelines, while Mourinho continued to wave his arms on the sidelines to direct the team to retreat, which was also to strengthen the defense!

He was reversing the strategic plan he had specified a few minutes earlier.

Because Arsenal's change came as a surprise to him.

The sharp-eyed Mourinho can only wait now, the defensive counterattack is a preemptive tactic, he has to compete with Wenger for patience, Chelsea and Arsenal to see who can't hold it first!

The game of overtime is boring.

Even Qin Xiong kept shaking his head as he watched from the bench.

Both teams have their own fears.

Arsenal may take the initiative to attack but can't get it back, allowing Chelsea to play a lethal counter-attack.

Chelsea feared they weren't strong enough to shake up Arsenal's dense defence before being crushed by Arsenal's counter-attack.

So the game was in a stalemate. No one created a good opportunity to come to an end.

"After a dull extra time, the two teams will go to penalties!"

Arsene Wenger was helpless. Mourinho was helpless either.

Perhaps Wenger is helpless, but also has disdain for Mourinho.

At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea did not dare to take the initiative to attack, but only dared to play defensive counterattacks, always thinking that the opponent would attack and then seize the opportunity to counterattack, what is the meaning of such football?

In this way, Mourinho always makes a big splash in front of the media, which Wenger despises.

Qin Xiong sat on the bench and watched Wenger arrange the penalty list, teammates encouraged each other, he also stood up, walked slowly to the sidelines, patted Vieira's arm, looked at Henry and nodded firmly, hugged Fabregas again, and walked to Bergkamp to exchange words

When the penalty shootout came, Qin Xiong and his teammates stood on the sidelines, waiting for the roulette to be played together.

Chelsea take the first penalty!

It was Frank Lampard who stepped forward in the first round.

The Blues' magic lamp unleashed a clean-cut boccia ball that went straight into the bottom right corner of the net and Lehmann misjudged to give Chelsea a 1-0 lead.

Arsenal came in with Bergkamp.

The veteran looked confident and composed in the face of Cech, and he fired a tricky high ball that flew into the top right corner of the goal against the underside of the crossbar.

1:1

After a round, the coaches and players standing on the sidelines, as well as the fans in the stands, couldn't help but let out a long breath, and the atmosphere was too tense for everyone to breathe.

In the second round, it was Joe Cole who came out of the Chelsea midfield formation.

The England genius shot a tricky shot straight into the top left corner of the goal, and the shot was brilliant!

On Arsenal's side, captain Patrick Vieira walked slowly to the penalty spot.

He chose to squirt!

Cech was deceived and he pounced on the right, only for the ball to fly into the net from the left of the centre.

The thoughts in the hearts of the Arsenal generals are: What a risk!

Had Cech not predicted, the ball might have been blocked.

The atmosphere became more and more tense, and even Qin Xiong felt that it became a little difficult to swallow his saliva, and his scalp was numb!

In the third round, it was Didier Drogba who came out of the line-up.

The monster sent the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal with a push, the ball was not fast but the angle was good, Lehmann was right, and he was only a little close to blocking the ball, and he stood up and cursed unwillingly.

Arsenal came out of Ljungberg.

Completely exhausted, Ljungberg cheered up, he walked to the front of the football, rearranged the football and retreated a few steps, and after running, he was ready to shoot vigorously, but the supporting foot had a slight slippage, so that he did not grasp the direction of the football at the moment of shooting!

The ball seemed to be shoveled towards the goal, and then flew from the top of the near-half-empty goal to the stands as Cech pounced to the left!

"Ljungberg misses the penalty! Chelsea lead 3-2! ”

The Arsenal fans in the stands hugged their heads, no longer knowing how to face this picture.

Ljungberg stood in place with his head bowed and his eyes closed and gritted his teeth for two seconds, then turned around and walked back into the formation with his head down, although his teammates took the initiative to comfort him, they could see that the atmosphere was a little abnormal, and the pressure was amazing!

In the fourth round, Chelsea sent Duff.

His shot was almost saved by Lehmann, who had already touched the ball, but it bounced under Lehmann's arm and into the back of the net.

The Blues fans sighed in relief, and their expressions immediately became wild and excited!

“4:2！ The pressure is completely on Arsenal's side, and if the ball can't be missed, Arsenal will be eliminated! ”

Fabregas came out of the fourth round.

He calmly walked over to the football, exposed to the camera, not knowing that his calm expression looked a little blank at the moment.

Fabregas had never experienced a game so stressful, and Fabregas wanted to be calm, but at the moment of his shot, he felt as if his feet were half weak, and his body was not controlled by his own reason.

The ball flew lightly to the left of the goal, Cech didn't expect it, waiting for Cesc Fabregas to make a save, this time he took a step sideways and flew out to punch the ball out!

The football flew out of the penalty area, and the one that flew away was Arsenal's ticket to the Champions League semi-finals!

Cesc Fabregas watched in amazement as he watched before him, then fell to his knees in the Chelsea box (to be continued......
