Arsene Wenger remained expressionless as he stood on the sidelines, unable to say if he was unhappy with his team's performance.

It can only be said that the current Arsenal is not the dream team he pursues to build.

However, if you look at the reality, if a mainstay player leaves and the team does not bring in a new signing of similar quality, then it is normal for the team to go through one or two periods of overadjustment.

If it weren't for Chelsea's strength, Arsenal might not have been forced to do this.

Even if he knows he needs to overadjust, Wenger may still insist on going his own way.

The more risk you can take, the more you can lose Arsenal!

The futures of Thierry Henry and Qin Xiong are still up in the air, and Arsene Wenger must use his results to keep the players.

Now he can only face this match with a very rare guilty pleasure: Mourinho, anti-counter? It's Arsenal playing leftovers!

Arsenal's counter-attack has upended the Red Devils dynasty and become the basis for Arsene Wenger's dominance at Highbury.

Now that Arsenal have developed a strategy of attacking mainly against the home, Wenger sees it as a small "step back", so he can't be happy.

This anti-counter-over-limit war is very unreasonable.

It has given the public a huge sense of disappointment in the expectation of strong dialogue.

The two teams are worth more than £500 million combined, and then they are playing defensively, not pursuing the more beautiful side of football, presenting a classic offensive feast to the outside world, which is unreasonable in the eyes of outsiders.

With Arsenal not giving Chelsea space to counter-attack and Chelsea not taking the initiative to attack, it is difficult for both teams to produce high-quality shots in attack, the most typical phenomenon is that both teams do not have shots from inside the box. Shots from outside the box also faced a number of obstacles. It is enough to reflect the characteristics of this game at both offensive and defensive ends.

The first half ended 0-0.

The Chelsea crowd looked helpless as they walked towards the tunnel.

Pre-match ambitions were high to take down Arsenal. But when it came to the competition, they had all the strength but couldn't use it!

While this is not Arsenal in the Community Shield, as long as Arsenal follow the tactics of the Community Shield to challenge Chelsea, the Chelsea crowd will believe they have a chance to destroy the Arsenal!

The Arsenal players are in a calm mindset.

It can be said that it is precisely because of Vieira's departure that they have been able to put down their high profile in the strong dialogue, accept reality, and strive to win the maximum benefit in a pragmatic way.

Arsene Wenger didn't have much to adjust at half-time, nothing more than a few minor details. For example, there is more emphasis on the individual breakthroughs of Chelsea wingers, and so on.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and the atmosphere of the game remained unchanged, with the two teams playing painless offense and making impeccable defense.

"It's almost a replica of last season's second leg of the league clash between the two teams! Can Jose Mourinho's side accept a point at home to Arsenal? But Chelsea seem to lack courage, they have the willpower, they are an iron-blooded team, but when Chelsea's opponents counter them with a solid defence, they show a lack of risk-taking, Chelsea are so stable that they don't have a chance to counter-attack. Didn't Jose Mourinho's side practice positional attacks? They have so many good players. But he has been on the road of defensive counterattack. Arsene Wenger will surely be happy if Arsenal can walk away from home with a draw. ”

Arsenal are more creative than Chelsea. However, with less and no space, it is very difficult to put only four players in the attack, and to shake up a defensive line that has at least seven men after Chelsea have compressed the defensive space.

In the 61st minute of the game, Robben cut into the inside line from the right side, and in the fast pace of dribbling, he stopped and changed to the side to get rid of Silva's defense, but Fabregas, who took the next step, broke the ball successfully!

Cesc Fabregas felt a little easier in this game than against Newcastle United, not having to run back and forth to expose the defensive voids behind him, and there was less pressure on Chelsea because they didn't put in a lot of attacking players, as long as they stayed calm in defence and didn't drop the chain when it mattered, they could do their defensive job.

Robben reluctantly signaled to his teammates to attack, not only could he not find the contact point, but also did not have his teammates to help him cover, which made his breakthrough line clear at a glance, and it was easier for the opponent to predict and intercept.

Cesc Fabregas broke the ball and decisively instigated a counter-attack in front of the field.

Qin Xiong strode forward, he ran to the left of the midfield, Essien immediately followed, Fabregas's pass was looking for Qin Xiong, a half-high ball was sent, and the ball was very fast.

Qin Xiong ran outside, and when the football flew to the right side of his body, Esin followed like a shadow.

In the moment of lightning, Qin Xiong lifted his right foot in the direction where the football flew during the run, and lightly cushioned the ball on the outside of his right foot, and the power control was to the extreme, perfectly unloading the football!

This is already on par with Bergkamp's weightless aerial offloading at his peak.

And such a perfect stop made Esin also a little stunned, Qin Xiong's next action will be very smooth, and Essien was broken through by Qin Xiong because he planned to intercept when Qin Xiong's stop action stopped!

Because he unloaded the ball very freely, and when the football landed on his feet, he directly accelerated and exploded, the football was just plucked forward by Qin Xiong, and the foot intercepted by Esin fell to the ground and was empty!

Qin Xiong dribbled inside past Essien to keep Essien out, Lampard rushed from the flank to intercept it, and Qin Xiong watched the shape and decisively sent a through ball.

The outside of the right foot rubbed out of the outside arc, Terry retreated deeper, the ball flew diagonally from the front two meters of Terry into the penalty area, the flight trajectory of the semi-high ball of the football showed that the ball was likely to bypass Carvalho, and then between Carvalho and Gallas, there was Arsenal's striker who was speeding fast!

Henry!

The hearts of the Blues fans are about to jump out.

But just as the ball could get past Carvalho, someone stabbed the ball in the direction of Chelsea's baseline.

Makellele!

There was an uproar.

Makelle cleared the ball with a flying tackle, but he shoveled the ball towards his own goal!

Petr Cech fell to the ground in a hurry and blocked the ball with his left foot, and the ball refracted and rolled off the bottom line next to the post!

All the Chelsea fans were relieved, the goal was so thrilling!

Makelle does not clear the siege, and Henry will most likely play another tacit pass with Qin Xiong.

Makelle's desperate clearance almost brewed an own goal, which really shocked all Chelsea people into a cold sweat.

Qin Xiong grabbed his hair and swept Chelsea's formation with his eyes, and understood a fact in his heart: even if he grabbed a counterattack and played a fast attack, it would be difficult to destroy Chelsea's defense!

Chelsea's defence is tight, and the complements have long been self-contained.

This game is too difficult. (To be continued......)
