"King... Zheng! ”

"Door-God... Zheng! ”

"Viva (Hooray)... Zheng!! ”

In the second half, as soon as the players walked out of the aisle, they heard Arsenal fans chanting Zheng Yaxin's name in unison.

The sound is like a tsunami of mountains and mountains, endless, one wave does not fall, and one wave rises after another.

Sky Sports Live Room,

Ferdinand looked amazed:

"Wow... In just half a time, Zheng has become the new goalkeeper in the hearts of Arsenal fans! ”

Henry took over and praised, "That's right, he's a genius!" ”

"In the last game, he also only used half a game to lay the character of Shenfeng."

"It seems that there is a good show in the second half, although Arsenal has one less person on the field, Zheng is simply omnipotent!"

'Chelsea didn't have that easy an equaliser.'

"The game starts right away, let's wait and see!"

……

Domestic, Gugu live broadcast room.

Compared with the two exaggerated commentaries of Sky Sports that set off the atmosphere, the commentary of Director Zhan is much smoother, and there is less brainless praise and more professional analysis in the commentary.

'Friends from the crowd, Chelsea took the lead in the second half, with N'Golo Kante, Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner coming on, Reece James, Marcos Alonso and Kai Havertz being replaced, and Chelsea's formation changed from 361 to 433.

'It looked like Chelsea were going to give it a go in the second half.'

'For Arsenal, Smith Rowe was replaced, new signing Odegaard came off the bench and the formation was still 351.

"With the referee's whistle, the second half of the game officially begins!"

"Arsenal kick off first..."

……

on the pitch.

The Chelsea players were full of fighting spirit, and everyone had a fierce look in their eyes.

The Arsenal players, on the other hand, looked calm.

With Zheng Yaxin guarding the gate, they are full of confidence.

Beep –

The referee blew the kick-off whistle.

In the 46th minute, Arsenal midfielder Xhaka drove straight into the ball and tried a long-range shot on the edge of the penalty area, Jorginho came to block, was accidentally shot in the head by a long-range shot, and lay on the ground for a while.

In the 48th minute, Arsenal defender Tierney shook off Azpilicueta's cross into the penalty area, which was cleared by Rudiger.

In the 49th minute, Arsenal took a corner kick from the right, Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen headed it over, and Odegaard shot directly at the goal, which was safely won by Mendy.

At the beginning of the second half, it was Arsenal who took the lead in the attack.

This was not what everyone expected.

Tuchel shouted from the sidelines for his players to press out, and the whole man looked furious.

The Champions League champion, playing one more person, but being pressed and beaten by Arsenal, made him unacceptable.

But it's not like you can press it out with a lot of people on the court, it's about momentum on the court.

When a team's momentum comes up, even the weak team can temporarily press the strong team to besiege.

Arsenal sat at home, in the shouts and cheers of 50,000 or 60,000 fans, the momentum was like a rainbow, and this deafening cheering made the players full of motivation and temporarily offset the disadvantage of one less.

It wasn't until the 52nd minute that the Chelsea players gradually recovered and withstood Arsenal's attack and regained control.

However, the Arsenal players took advantage of the situation and retreated to the backfield and put on a stubborn posture.

After losing possession, even striker Martinelli returned to his own half.

The Chelsea players were at a loss.

Although they have a numerical advantage, they still play 10 against 10 when attacking.

Because Chelsea's goalkeeper could not press up and attack, and Arsenal had more goalkeeper Zheng Yaxin's defense.

- This is the reason why in football games, the team that plays defensive counterattack can always beat the strong team (refer to the dozen games of the Qatar World Cup).

Because when the number of both sides is equal, the attacking side is actually attacking 11 people with 10 people, as long as the difference in strength between the offensive and defensive sides is not particularly large, it is difficult for the attacking side to win.

In the same way, this is also the reason why in football matches, there are always players who do not hesitate to block the opponent's shot with a red card.

Even if one person is sent off, it is still 10 to 10 on the field, and the opponent will not really form a numerical advantage - unless the opponent's goalkeeper dares to abandon the goal and come to the front to help attack.

But is it possible?

No way!

Therefore, how to break the dense defense has become the dilemma that Chelsea are currently facing.

On the surface, they did have one more person, but in fact in the Arsenal half, the number of both sides was the same, that is, Arsenal goalkeeper Zheng Yaxin + 9 players against 10 Chelsea players.

So how do you break this defense?

Ignoring the perimeter transmission of the Chelsea players, the Arsenal players stood in the core third near the penalty area, easily blocking 99 per cent of Chelsea's attacks.

Seeing this kind of scene, some people may wonder, since the Arsenal players are huddled near the penalty area, why don't Chelsea try to shoot from distance?

Chelsea were not without long-range shots, with at least 10 long-range shots in just 17 minutes, from the 53rd minute to the 70th minute of the second half.

But it didn't work.

The long-range shots were basically taken off by Zheng Yaxin steadily, and a small number of shots would be saved on the sideline, the bottom line.

Whenever a Chelsea player was ready to shoot from distance, the Arsenal players didn't bother to interfere, and even simply moved out of the way and let them shoot casually.

Minutes ticked by.

The Chelsea players on the pitch are getting more and more anxious.

Sideline manager Thomas Tuchel was more anxious.

He didn't know how high his team's possession rate was in this game, which was estimated to be above 75 per cent.

He doesn't know how many passes his team has made in this game, but he estimates that it should be almost 1,000.

He doesn't know how many shots his team has had in this game, it should be 30+ or 40+, right?

But it didn't work.

The score is still behind.

When the Arsenal players gathered in the arc in front of the box, there was no other way for Chelsea to threaten the Arsenal goal than to shoot from distance.

But it's impossible to give up on the attack and let Arsenal attack.

Breaking through dense defenses has always been a worldwide problem.

So far, there are only two ways to shoot from the perimeter and smash high balls in the penalty area, and these two methods are not 100% effective.

What tactics should be put in place to break down the Arsenal goal?

Tuchel scratched his cheeks on the sidelines, at a loss.

…… Domestic, Gugu live broadcast room.

Director Zhan's commentary was full of passion.

"In the 79th minute of the second half, the score was still Arsenal's one-goal lead."

'Chelsea currently have 81 per cent possession, 820 passes, 37 shots on goal and 21 on target.

'Arsenal currently have 19 per cent possession, 147 passes, four shots on goal and one on target.

"Zheng Yaxin made 21 effective saves... This set a record for a Premier League goalkeeper to make an effective save in a single game! ”

"It is clear that after more than 20 minutes of continuous attack, not only has Chelsea's fitness dropped significantly, but the players have also become a little discouraged!"

"And the Arsenal players are more and more excited to play, and the more they play, the more united they become!"

'It seems that it will be difficult for Chelsea to break down the Arsenal goal in this game.

"Arsenal have a good chance of winning this London derby!"

Listening to Director Zhan's passionate commentary, the fans who watched the live broadcast played barrages such as "Resist", "My new cowhide", and "Our Arsenal is invincible" on the public screen.

For a while, the barrage was like snowflakes, dense, occupying the entire screen.
