Four hundred and seventy-six, stifling hope!
'Palacio has shown that he has become a hero to Chelsea fans!'
"What a pity! Arsenal's clean sheet record didn't continue, they were in a bad position, falling behind early on, which was very bad for their final! ”
Wenger quickly calmed down, he knew that he couldn't rush back now, in that case he would definitely fall into the calculations of the other party, he suffered a loss when he first played with Lynn, and he was calculated many times at such a node.
He told Declan Rice that Cesc Fabregas controlled the tempo, regained the balance of the game, and not rushed, the game just started, and falling behind did not mean defeat.
Arsenal is a strong team, although the Champions League final is the first time, but they have also experienced countless tests of key moments, every player is also an elite player, knowing that this time can not be chaotic, let alone rushed, the manager is right, the game has just begun, and there is still a long time to come.
Cesc Fabregas showed maturity on the pitch that was very different from his age, and quickly stabilized Arsenal with the ball at his feet.
"It's a good seedling." Watching Cesc Fabregas continue to pass and ask for the ball, stabilizing the front, Lynn couldn't help but praise it.
The singing of the Arsenal fans also encouraged their players, and morale gradually recovered.
The competition on the field is getting fiercer, Arsenal seems to have forgotten that they are still behind, these are in Lynn's eyes, he didn't care, he never expected to be able to break Arsenal with a ball, such a dream Lynn has never done.
He had already anticipated before the fight that it was going to be a tough match.
After re-stabilizing, Arsenal also stepped up their attack. Cesc Fabregas deployed from the middle, showing his generality.
But. Chelsea's squeezing defence has had a big impact on Arsenal's organisation, vaguely. Chelsea formed a loose encirclement around Cesc Fabregas.
Control the direction of his passes, which is at the heart of Lynn's defense.
The price to pay to completely freeze Fabregas is too great, and Lynn remembered the role of the traffic police, channeling.
The set-up of the defence and forcing Cesc Fabregas's playmaking direction towards the area Chelsea wanted did the trick.
Lynn asked Frank Lampard to focus on Cesc Fabregas, cutting him off from Ljungberg and letting Cesc Fabregas's passes go more towards Henry and behind than for him to organise the midfield.
Defensively. Chelsea also figured out Hauge's bottom line through probing, and frequent small fouls stimulated Arsenal's players, who made bigger moves than before.
This made the Arsenal side a little uncomfortable.
Cesc Fabregas was unable to combine effectively with the midfield, which meant that several of Arsenal's attacks were done through long balls, and he was almost a threat under Chelsea's defence.
"Onward!" How Lynn's sinister intentions were concealed by Wenger, he was quick to tell Cesc Fabregas to move forward and shorten the distance to the front.
Chelsea's defence was violent. The aggressive running and the full-court pressing made Arsenal's familiar attacking fluency impossible to play at all.
Arsenal wanted to play their rhythm with their own crossings, but that was the end of it. Things didn't go as they expected, and the offense was always interrupted.
Ljungberg's mission today was to deliver a lethal pass to Hleb and Thierry Henry, but. Under Alonso's freeze, he rarely played. Even after getting the ball, he has to think about how to get rid of it first.
Returning became his helpless choice.
Minutes and seconds passed. The scoreline didn't change and Chelsea took the lead.
Arsene Wenger got up from the dugout and walked to the sidelines, however, this time, he did not give any instructions to the players on the pitch, this is to quietly observe the progress of the game, and now Wenger has no other ideas, he has played Chelsea so many times, and every time it feels like this, it is like being tied hand and foot.
With more than ten minutes left in the first half, Wenger did not need to rush, although he was still behind, but the situation was not yet irretrievable.
He's waiting.
When Chelsea make mistakes, the fitness of the players has a limit, and he admits that the fitness of Chelsea players has always been top-notch in the Premier League, but now that Chelsea play tactics are very physically demanding, Wenger does not think Chelsea can hold on to the whole game.
It's not about scoring goals, it's about reorganizing your rhythm and sticking to your tactics, because it's chaotic and Chelsea have been dragging Arsenal to mess around.
After making up his mind, Wenger shouted out to Cesc Fabregas and gave him instructions to continue to control the overall tempo of the team.
Cesc Fabregas nodded in understanding, and in fact, the Spanish youngster was doing just that.
Arsene Wenger saw that he was happy with Cesc Fabregas.
Arsenal did not play as Lynn hoped, which somewhat disappointed Lynn, but not so much annoyed, Wenger is an old fox, which Lynn has never denied, so now Lynn has also seen through Wenger's intentions, Arsenal is not in a hurry to equalize, but to try to control the game, where is this!
"No more playing."
Lynn asks Clark to give the order, attack!
Chelsea suddenly stepped up their pressing, and the pitch immediately became intense.
'Oh, there's a change, what's Chelsea going to do?'
The balance on the field is gone.
"Chelsea on the offensive—"
Anelka's pick up the ball in the box shocked Arsenal fans, although Anelka was forced to turn at all, but after a few passes from Chelsea, the football reached the heart of Arsenal, which could not but arouse Arsenal's alarm.
The French striker was closely tagged and he didn't insist, instead passing the ball straight to Lampard.
As soon as Lampard got the ball, Cesc Fabregas pressed it on.
Frank Lampard's attacking ability in the middle is so strong that no one dares to take it lightly.
The opposition defended solidly and Frank Lampard didn't have a chance, but he had the option to pass the ball. Sideways -
"Alves! It's fast! ”
Alves cut in from behind and slid past Gilberto's defence. It makes this old-timer very faceless.
"Don't let him rush up!!" Cesc Fabregas commanded his team-mates loudly, but he was actually asking for Klich.
Alves showed his impact to the fullest. After shaking off Gilberto, his speed did not decrease in the slightest, and he headed straight for Chrissy.
This time, Klich also learned to be obedient, holding the inside and resolutely not letting Alves cut inside.
It just so happened that Alves was not polite, and without dwelling, rushed straight over, and Chrisy was stunned for a moment. Hurrying to follow, he made up his mind to keep Alves out and never let his opponent pass him.
Sudden stop, smash the ball!
Klich was shocked, this position is too sensitive, and if you let your opponent rush into the box from here, then your own door is completely open to the opponent.
This will not work!
With a hard hand, Chrissy almost half-hugged Alves
Yellow!
Kick!
The boos from the Chelsea fans were given to Klich and, of course, the referee, a penalty that was too light. A red card should be given!
Lynn was happy, it was wonderful, pointing to Chrissy's poor figure, and Lynn whispered something in Di Matteo's ear.
Klich's defense was already struggling. The goal conceded in the opening game was that he failed to look at Palacio, and now he is carrying a yellow card. If you don't take advantage of it, I'm so sorry for yourself.
Alonso was instructed by the manager. Focus on the point of Clich.
The free-kick was well placed and several of Chelsea's best headers burst into the Arsenal penalty area. Players from both sides were constantly arguing over positions, and the referee interrupted the game twice in a row and ran into the box to warn the players on both sides.
Alonso has been observing the opposing wall, and there are only two, and Lehmann's positioning gives Alonso a new idea.
No one thinks that this point can be shot directly at the goal, the normal thinking is to pass the football into the penalty area and the attacking players compete for the landing point.
"Tick! ――――" The whistle sounded.
Alonso run-up -
There was a sudden chaos in the penalty area, players on both sides desperately grabbed positions, and Lehmann was also moving outward, ready to volley directly from control at any time to defuse the opponent's attack.
"Alonso's biography - oh! It's not a cross! Shot--"
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! Outside the instep! Alonso, he gave Jeon Shijie a surprise! The outside of the instep volleys, and the ball grazes the post and hits the goal! 2:0! Chelsea take a fantastic lead! ”
"Hooray!"
"Champion!"
"Chelsea champions!"
Whether it's in the city of London or the Stade de France, the Blues fans let out a deafening roar that resounded in the sky!
'2-0, from Alonso, this goal almost replicated the goal scored by Ronaldinho in the Shijie Cup in '02, and even more exciting, Lehmann didn't even have time to come back to save, Chelsea have extended their lead to two goals! Arsenal, if they don't pick themselves up, I think they will be further and further away from their first Champions League trophy"
"The sudden arrival of this goal will completely change the course of the game, and Alonso's unbelievable goal has pushed Arsenal into a desperate situation!"
"Well done! Attaboy! 'Compared to the first goal, Lynn's lack of weight in the second goal is the equivalent of Chelsea's hand climbing the earring of the trophy.
Frank Lampard was the first to rush in front of Alonso, knocking him down and then pressing down hard, shouting loudly, "Boy! Great! You're a fucking genius! ”
Not to be outdone, the other Chelsea players pounced on them.
"Blue, our dreams, football, our sport united, victory is our goal"
More than 20,000 Blues fans sang their blue song and the stadium was in a state of flux.
Lehmann knelt on the goal line and looked helplessly at the football lying quietly in the goal.
How can this guy be like this, it's just a demon, choose to shoot at this angle.
Arsene Wenger's facial muscles twitched all the time, and when he was one goal down, he could not worry, but now that he was two goals down, he could no longer sit still.
In this life-or-die game, Arsene Wenger knows better than anyone what it means to be two goals down. Especially when the opponent is Chelsea, he understands that Arsenal are in the process of falling off a cliff.
The goal just now was not a mistake. I can only say that I am careless, but this is also a defensive problem. It had already consolidated the situation, but this free kick suddenly disrupted the rhythm of the whole team.
Arsene Wenger stood on the sidelines, looking at the field with a cold face, his mind was rapidly analyzing and calculating the current situation, thinking about how to adjust his tactics at halftime, and the originally rich time became tense.
Chelsea's frantic celebrations were stopped by Hauge and the game was about to resume.
The only sound in the stadium was the singing and cheering of the Chelsea fans, and the boos of the Arsenal fans had long since been suppressed.
Time was running out in the first half. Arsene Wenger didn't make any adjustments, Chelsea tried to play again, but the ball was cut off in front of goal, Arsenal played a quick counter-attack, Thierry Henry shot on the counter-attack, and the ball hit the crossbar, which really startled the Blues fans in the United States.
Their long-awaited championship celebration came to an abrupt end.
Arsenal fans also breathed a bad breath.
However, the morale of the Chelsea team did not drop because of this, and at half-time they were off the pitch. His face was full of joy, and he kept waving his hand to greet the fans in the stands.
'We have to admit that Chelsea were better in the first half and they were amazingly efficient. There was an element of luck in both goals, but their experience in the Champions League final helped a lot. Arsenal didn't play their part. It was inevitable that the score would be behind, except for Thierry Henry's shot. They didn't create many chances in the first half, so to speak. In the Lynn-John encounter, Coach Wenger still couldn't get the upper hand. ”
Wenger did not wait for his own player, but took the lead into the corridor, while Lynn waited on the sidelines for his player to come down and patted Alonso on the shoulder.
After entering the locker room, Lynn did not get angry because of the messy dressing room like a vegetable market, but waited there with a smile.
The players, all of whom were clever masters, saw the leader come in, and the room quickly fell silent.
Sensible!
Lynn was more satisfied.
"I'm proud of your first half!"
There was a howl of wolves in the locker room.
"Arsenal are our old rivals and it was a real surprise to me to be able to lead by two goals in the first half, I have to look to Joe and Diego Daoqian, our agreement seems to be changing" Lynn looked at Forlan and Joe Cole.
The two of them also seemed to be infected by the current atmosphere, and waved their hands to say that it was no problem.
They can not care, however, Lynn must say that if the situation cannot be played in the first half, then Lynn will definitely have to adjust, and Fran and Joe Cole are the cards in Lynn's hand, and they must be played if they don't play.
But now it's different, with a two-goal lead, and if Lynn insists on making adjustments in the second half, then he's not a good football coach, and no one can do that stupid thing.
Lynn changed his face and walked among the players, "But, I don't want to see you slacken, what is the strength of the opponent, you know better than anyone else, they have the ability to change everything on the field in a few minutes, let alone forty-five minutes, in the second half, our tactics are still attacking, pressing all over the court, disrupting their rhythm, in addition, forget those two balls, their freshness period has passed, only fifteen minutes." ”
"Guys, don't give them hope, people with hope will be crazy!"
"Strangling their hopes into illusions!"
After Lynn said this, he didn't say more, and there was no point in saying more.
His thoughts on the second half are actually not difficult to understand, that is, to do everything possible to prevent the other party from forming a siege on himself, but to use the attack to consume time, as long as it is up to a period of time, the two goals will become infinitely expanded, Arsenal can not quickly close the gap, as soon as possible to score, then the championship is Chelsea
In the other dressing room, the atmosphere was dreary and many of Arsenal's players were staring blankly at Arsene Wenger, hoping to learn something from the manager.
"Have you lost your confidence, if so, please let me know and I can be more relaxed. Have it? Who? ”
No one said a word.
"Tell me, yes?" Arsene Wenger's voice suddenly increased.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.
"Nope!" Cesc Fabregas and Henry roared almost at the same time.
"Don't forget, the game isn't over yet, but listen, listen"
Arsene Wenger rushed to the door and pulled it open with all his might, and cheers from the Chelsea fans could be heard outside the door.
"We have countless fans who are looking forward to us to bring them victory, they are also eager to sing loudly like this, and the hope is in you."
'It's just two goals down, what's there to be afraid of, when we're down more goals we have it too, three goals, four goals, haven't we all pulled it back? Was it possible then, but not now? ”
"Boss, we can!" Henry stood up and looked at Wenger and said loudly.
Wenger stood there and didn't speak for a long time.
The room was so quiet that even a pin dropped on the floor would be clearly audible.
"Well, I believe in you, you have the absolute quality to do it, in the second half, we continued to strengthen the attack, pay attention to their backs, Alves is not a defender anymore, he is a winger, that position - Thierry."
Henry hadn't sat down yet, he looked at Arsene Wenger.
"There's a lot you can do there."
Henry nodded, "I see. ”
"Strengthen the breakthrough, force the opponent to foul, we have to take the opportunity from the set-piece and take the opportunity! Goal! ”
While both sides were preparing in the dressing room, a new round of war had begun in the stadium stands, with the smug Chelsea fans opening fire on the Arsenal fans, and the unwilling Gunners fighting back strongly, but once again offering a visual and auditory feast to the Shijie fans.
In terms of the quality of the fans, in addition to the group of hooligans, which sets off the atmosphere, England fans have almost no opponents in the whole Shijie.
"They're out !!" Sharp-eyed fans found that the players on both sides had walked to the Yongdao crossing, and immediately cheered. (To be continued......)
