Xhaka thought for a moment before nodding: "You have to pay attention to this Werner, we have been too careless defensively in recent games and can't let Chelsea easily form attacking opportunities. ”

"Or we need closer defensive coordination in the midfield." "Especially when the opposition is on the counter-attack, communication and support between the midfielders is particularly important. ”

Xhaka nodded silently.

He knows this best as a midfielder, because he has been injured in previous games, so Arsenal's midfield problems have been magnified.

Xhaka is only recovering from injury and it will be some time before he returns.

"By the way, which position does the coach want you to play?" Xhaka asked about the equation.

"This, it may depend on the situation on the field." The equation is not directly stated.

Manager Mikel Arteta was standing on the sidelines, excitedly shouting command to the pitch.

It's a big game and it could be about his future as Arsenal manager, so it's impossible to calm down.

Chelsea were then awarded a corner. N'Golo Kante took the penalty and the ball flew quickly towards Arsenal's goal, creating a storm in the penalty area.

Football has not been cleared far, players on both sides are scrambling, trying to grab the ball, which makes Arsenal in front of the goal full of danger, and the hearts of fans are in their throats.

Fortunately, goalkeeper Leno hugged the football from the chaos, and his whole body was buried in the ground, not daring to move.

The Chelsea players then reluctantly stopped, looked at the football under Leno, and felt a little sorry that they did not score.

Arsenal are not willing to be complacent, this is the Emirates Stadium.

They counter-attacked at home, pressing into an overall formation and trying to ease the pressure on Chelsea's attack with possession.

Every pass was full of determination and fighting spirit, and the players ran around the pitch as hard as they could, hoping to change the situation of the game.

After all, Arsenal won the treble last season, and they are naturally unwilling to become a mediocre team.

However, in the 31st minute of the game, Chelsea once again seized the chance to counter-attack.

They pushed forward quickly and used the right side to form a dangerous attack.

Arsenal's defence is once again in crisis. Chelsea's forwards worked well together and Timo Werner's pass found Pulisic, who pulled his leg and fired in the back of the net to send the ball into the back of the net.

This time, it was Leno who made a decisive attack to resolve the danger and let the fans breathe a sigh of relief.

While Chelsea posed a threat to Arsenal in attack, they failed to capitalise on their chances and change the scoreline.

At the end of the first half, the score of the two sides was still 0:0.

Back in the dressing room, Arteta was extremely unhappy with what had been done in the first half.

You know, this is their home stadium, even if they don't score, they can actually make Chelsea play a quick counterattack on several occasions.

"Control the pace and keep your attention in check, you know? You're all championship players, it's not supposed to be a performance that you're going to have, show your momentum! Let the gang know what's at stake! ”

Arteta shouted in the dressing room, with some annoyance,

The players had solemn expressions and did not speak, not daring to touch the manager's emotions again.

However, the equation was not afraid of such fierce Arteta, who stood up and said:

"Rest assured, the reason why I'm back is to lead the team to victory. Don't put too much pressure on you, we have been able to achieve the Triple Crown before, and we will be able to be the Triple Crown in the future! ”

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the locker room immediately changed, and everyone's eyes showed a strong fighting spirit.

Arteta didn't speak again, looking at the equations, seemingly acquiescing to his encouraging speech.

So, the second half began,

Arsenal burst out with a strong fighting spirit and quickly found rhythm and confidence in the game.

Once in control of the tempo of the game, the Arsenal players picked up the pace of the ball and tried to break the deadlock with quick cross-cutting combinations.

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard noticed the change and immediately reminded the pitch that he must not be caught off guard by Arsenal.

Thankfully, in the 70th minute, Chelsea took advantage of a corner kick and finally found it past Arsenal with a header from Timo Werner.

The Chelsea fans who came to the away stadium erupted in earth-shattering cheers,

Time is running out and Chelsea will only have to defend on the counter-attack and then exploit Arsenal's holes at the back to score again.

When the time comes, Arsenal can only end in tears.

Chelsea will finish in the top four.

Chelsea fans almost saw the moment of cheering and celebration.

However, to the slight regret of the opponents, Arsenal were not hit by the goal.

After the restart, Arsenal continued to organise their goals in an orderly manner, with no expression on everyone's face affected by the goal conceded.

Soon, the Arsenal players on the field found that the equation of returning to the Emirates Stadium after a long time was already on the sidelines and immediately returned to the field.

At this moment, the Emirates Stadium seemed to become boiling, and many Arsenal fans stood up and looked at the familiar figure on the side of the field.

"Fang! He's on the sidelines! Is it going to come off the bench? ”

"Is the man who belongs to the Emirates Stadium finally back!!"

"Go and beat Chelsea hard, we're not going to lose!"

Under the gaze of countless people, the referee finally signaled that Arsenal could make substitution adjustments.

Nketiah is off and Equation comes off the bench!

Before going on the field, the equation touched the turf before running quickly onto the court.

"Nketiah?"

Xhaka was very surprised when he saw this scene, "Did the manager actually let Equation play as a center forward?" This can really be ??? ”

However, Equation has played as a libero up front at Arsenal before, so now he has the confidence to get the job done, no matter what position he plays.

After Equation 1 came on, Arsenal continued to maintain a strong attacking momentum.

They use teamwork and individual ability to break through opposition defences and look for opportunities to score.

With the equation in place, each of their attacks is full of passion and hope, and the atmosphere on the court has become more and more enthusiastic.

Arsenal had a throw-in opportunity, up front,

Equation unloaded the ball thrown by his teammate with his chest, and then quickly passed it to Ronaldo on the side.

Kante, who had been marking, did not block Equation's pass.

The equation dodged forward, shaking everyone away.

S Ronaldo, who received the ball, almost subconsciously collided with the equation once, and the football just rolled to the gap in front of him, and then it was re-controlled by the equation inserted in front!

He was like a sharp sword that suddenly plunged into Chelsea's soft hinterland!!

The defenders were shocked and rushed over to make up for it. (End of chapter)
