Chapter 24, the easy battle for the top of the list

However, when Yelo's fans imagined the persecution fantasy of "Yelo sacrificing his own personal interests for the sake of the whole".

On the contrary, Yelo himself felt that Wenger's arrangement for him was very reasonable.

He completely abandoned the constraints that his position had placed on him.

And the rest of the players are acting exactly as he is in his position.

When he dropped back, Cazorla pressed forward to join Giroud in pressing the rest of the defenders.

Now Ye Luo has been given more space, which means that he is a little bit like a fish in water.

He receives passes more easily, has more time to look for the opposition's holes in the lead, and has more space to handle the ball.

Defensively, the team has also become very stable with the protection of the defensive line by the three players on the back line.

The expansion of Yelo's range of motion also allows the team to pass and control the front court as before.

This change in position has benefited Arsenal at both ends of the pitch.

Although Yelo's influence on the team's offense has been reflected in training.

But until the real game begins, it's unclear whether this tactic will work in a real game.

After watching from the sidelines for a while, Arsene Wenger returned to the dugout.

He is very satisfied with Ye Luo's performance in this new system.

"That guy from Benitez must be dumbfounded now"

He smiled a little smugly at his assistant Blake.

Benitez certainly wasn't dumbfounded, but he did have a headache, and he could certainly see Yelo's role in the system.

In other words, Wenger designed a system that completely relied on Yelo to operate, and the eye of this system was Yelo!

Arsenal's control from the beginning to the present is very solid, they have been passing in the midfield for two or three minutes in a row, Chelsea could not find a chance to break the ball, but Arsenal gradually took control of the situation and retreated to their own half to defend.

This is Chelsea's home turf!

Although Benitez was thinking about defending and counterattacking, he still had to play a three-board axe in the opening stage to give the opponent a little bit of disadvantage - but who would have thought that Chelsea's three-board axe had not been cut out of the first one, and it had to be held back.

In the past few minutes, the decibel level of the cheers at Stamford Bridge has been lowered considerably.

Theoretically, as long as Ye Luo is frozen, Arsenal will not be able to play this game now.

But this is only a theoretical matter - after all, how to freeze Ye Luo is already a world-class problem.

What's more, Benitez was caught off guard and thought of a way on the spot, where could he come up with it so quickly?

After Chelsea's side was pressed back.

Arsenal are starting to get into trouble.

Yelo retreated to get the ball and easily dipped Ramirez who was pressing.

Ramirez is a midfielder with individual ability and strong grappling ability.

But after he was passed by Ye Luo, he didn't try to catch up and continue to pester Ye Luo like other defenders, because he knew that it was useless, and it was better to return to the penalty area and stand in his position.

After all, no matter how you attack.

If you want to score, you have to go through the penalty area to reach the goal, right?

The position in front of goal is the most important thing.

Ye Luo turned with the ball and faced the goal head-on.

The fans at Stamford Bridge couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts when they saw this.

Yelo's performance at the stadium last season is still hard to remember for many Blues fans.

So when I saw Ye Luo have a breakthrough action.

Instead of boos, there were exclamations from the stands at Stamford Bridge.

This is the PTSD that Yelo brought to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea's players don't have Yelo's PTSD.

They couldn't help but get nervous when they saw Ye Luo coming with the ball head-on.

In their eyes, Yelo, who came with the ball, seemed to be a tiger pounced on its prey, and suddenly, almost all Chelsea players made the same choice as Ramirez: retract into the penalty area!

As long as he stood in his position and shrunk the space, Ye Luo would not be able to break through.

Ye Luo is of course used to such a situation, and the contraction on the opposite side allows him to complete the transfer of the ball with ease.

The ball shifted to the wing, and full-back Monreal was cutting in at high speed, picking up Yelo's pass with ease, as the wing was completely empty due to the contraction of the Chelsea defence.

When Monreal stopped the ball, there was not a single Chelsea defender within a five-metre radius.

So he still had time to observe the situation in the penalty area.

At this time, in the Chelsea penalty area, the attacking players are also Ye Luo, who is moving forward, as well as Cazorla and Giroud, who have been choosing to press the opponent's back line.

Although there are only three people, according to Arsenal's tactical design, at this time they should cross to find Yelo!

Whether it's high or low, Ye Luo's ability to grab points is here anyway.

If you pass in, you can create a threat.

In the penalty area, Terry had already noticed Ye Luo who had stepped in, and he quickly defended it, and when Ye Luo jumped, he also jumped up, and at the same time there were a lot of movements in his hands.

However, he was still defeated in the aerial confrontation with Ye Luo.

Terry couldn't even stop Ye Luo's jump, but when the two sides jumped in the air, Ye Luo was a head taller than Terry, and in the end, Terry could only watch Ye Luo finish shaking his head and attack the goal with a desperate look!

The football was pushed to the far corner by Ye Luo!

Cech reacted quickly enough, but the ball was too tricky and fast enough that by the time he made the save, the ball had hit the ground and bounced into the back of the net.

β€œGOOOOAL!!”

"Ye Luo scored with a header!! Arsenal opener!! ”

"Ye Luo!! Or Yelo! Arsenal are ahead on the road! ”

"One to zero!! Ye Luo scored again, his sixteenth league goal of the season!! No matter where he is, Yelo always scores!! ”

On the commentary seat, all the commentators jumped up.

Accompanied by the bleisters in the stands, the Blues fans collectively hugged their heads with an incredible look on their faces.

At this moment, the cheers of the Arsenal fans who came to the away stadium finally came out, although they were quickly suppressed by sharp boos, but all the Arsenal fans didn't care about this!

Arsenal are ahead! Ahead in this battle for the top spot!!

After suffering their first league defeat and facing a tough opponent on the road, it is impossible for Arsenal fans to say that they are not apprehensive.

After all, the past few seasons have often had teams that have not performed well in the dialogue between the two of them.

Stamford Bridge is one of the toughest away games in the Premier League.

To be honest, even if they lose at this stadium, Arsenal fans are mentally prepared.

And now, the team took control of the game and scored early on, which reassured all Arsenal fans.

Arsenal's celebrations didn't last long either, with the game resuming quickly.

Although it was an away game, Arsenal dominated the game and continued to control the scene.

Arsenal are not much more in control than they were before, and the reason why they seem to be more in control is because of the solidity of the defence, and the security that the back three brings to the defence is huge.

Everyone played very well.

In the press gallery.

Journalists in England were amazed.

"Maintaining that control when you bring back a player from the front court. Is Ye Luo's ability really that strong? ”

"God, it's incredible."

"With a back three, Arsenal's defense will probably be one of the best in the Premier League."

"If they can add a few real midfielders, I'm afraid they will be stronger!"

Journalists in England whispered.

These discussions made the reporters of the Dragon Kingdom not far away have smiles on their faces.

Everyone can see that Arsenal's confidence in changing the formation comes from Ye Luo, and comes from the absolute trust in Ye Luo.

Now Yelo's style of play is very non-mainstream - the whole Arsenal team is playing around Yelo, and Yelo's ability can also drive the performance of other Arsenal players.

It's a virtuous circle.

Arsene Wenger and his assistants on the sidelines were also very happy.

It wasn't technically a spectacular goal, at least compared to the world waves that Yelo had scored.

Benitez is not wrong about one thing, relying on the world wave to save the field does not last.

It's like life can't stop the delicacies of the mountains and seas.

Most of the time, it's commonplace.

The world wave is certainly cool.

But for the manager, players can't be expected to be on top of every game.

That's why it was an ordinary-looking goal that made Arsene Wenger and his coaching staff so happy.

This ball is significant.

Because it means that the team's new tactics are successful.

It means that this set of tactics can better play Ye Luo's personal ability.

Not restricting Ye Luo's position is the greatest play to Ye Luo's ability.

For this Arsenal team.

If you want to win, you have to rely on Ye Luo fully!

His breakout, his speed, his ability to receive interspersed passes in midfield.

Of course, what is more crucial is his ability to shoot and score.

Now Yelo is free.

The free-for-all Yelo also surprised Arsenal's coaching staff.

His performance is also driving the form of other players at Arsenal.

Everyone's state has improved with Ye Luo's excellent performance.

The team's combat effectiveness has also risen to a higher level.

Pressing Chelsea to play is proof of that.

Arsene Wenger turned his head to look at Benitez's frowning and sad face, and smiled.

At this time in the past, it was usually him who had a sad face.

Today Feng Shui is in turn.

Wenger is not confident that Benitez will be able to figure out any way to target it – at least not for a while.

But not necessarily in the next game.

After all, the next game is the old rival Alex Ferguson.

"I don't know what that old man can do."

Wenger muttered under his breath.

Then he leaned comfortably back on the chair of the coach's seat, ready to enjoy the wonderful performance of his disciples on the court.

What now?

Benitez was sweating on his forehead.

This shows that his brain is running rapidly, like a fan to cool down the CPU, and his sweat gland system is now playing a role in cooling the brain, a large energy consumer.

The handkerchiefs were wet, but Benitez really couldn't think of anything too good.

Arsenal's tactical changes were too successful.

They set up a back three at the edge of the box, which would have been a defensive stance.

However, Arsenal have Yelo up front!

Even if there is one less attacking player in the frontcourt, Ye Luo alone, with his personal ability, can bring Arsenal's attack up!

That's terrible!

Defensively, Arsenal have put on a relatively solid defensive system with some teams that have taken on the defensive.

On the offensive end, he was very sharp under the leadership of Ye Luo.

This makes Chelsea very passive.

Defensive, unstoppable!

Ye Luo was like a loach, drilling around in the front field.

If you can't catch it, you can't prevent it.

And what about the offense?

Chelsea can't come up with a good way to come out of Arsenal's three-back defensive formation for a while, not to mention that Arsenal's attacking threat is very great, resulting in Chelsea's midfielders not daring to step forward to assist, and Chelsea does not have a player like Yelo who can lead the attack of the whole team alone.

The game is almost twenty minutes away.

Chelsea haven't had a single shot on goal.

Arsenal have six shots on goal.

A goal was also scored.

At this rate, it was only a matter of time before Chelsea conceded a second goal.

And once two goals down. This game is basically explained.

Rafa Benitez is now eager to open his mind like Kennedy's, so that he can come up with some genius idea to deal with the "hooligan tactics" of Arsenal now.

But now it's not in his tactical boardroom.

It's at the game.

The consequences of Chelsea's failure to come up with a solution to contain Arsenal immediately are serious.

After all, Arsenal will not wait for Benitez to figure out a way before starting to attack, this is a reality, and it is not a FIFA2012 that can press the pause button.

Therefore, the offensive on Arsenal's side has become more and more vigorous with the improvement of the mentality and confidence of the players.

Thirty-third minute of the game.

Arsenal scored their second goal of the game.

This goal was not scored by Yelo, but it was also related to him.

He swam to the side to win the ball and then chose to dribble inside, and after attracting enough defenders, Yelo passed the ball out.

The ball emerged from the gap between the crowd and reached the left side of the penalty area.

Ramsey, who had been ready to cut in early, finished with an easy shot.

In the absence of defensive pressure.

As a professional player who can play in the Premier League, it's unlikely that you will pass up that opportunity.

He shot with his left foot, the ball was close to the ground, grazed the post and drilled into the goal!!

Two to zero!!

Arsenal scored again to extend the gap to two goals.

It was a tactical victory as well.

The goal is not exciting, but it is also the kind of "commonplace" that can be replicated.

This kind of goal is sometimes more meaningful than a mere world wave.

Yelo attracts the defense, passes the ball out, and allows the other players to score.

Yelo is not just a simple scorer, he is the team's tandem, the offensive playmaker, or the finisher!

He plays many roles alone, but no matter which role, he can do his best!

This made it even more difficult for his opponents.

Ye Luo can shoot and pass, and the difficulty of defending him has skyrocketed!

As long as Yelo is active in the front court, whether the football is at his feet or not, he can always make his opponent very uncomfortable.

Just like it is now.

Wales midfielder Aaron Ramsey was flushed with excitement after the goal.

He was originally the role of the team's substitute rotation, because in the midfield, attack, he is not as good as Cazorla, Wilshere, defensive he is not as good as Coquelin, Diaby, control the tempo as a metronome, he is not as good as Arteta.

"Thank you! Thank you! Leaf!!! ”

Ramsey was thrilled.

Although he has competitors in every way who have longer versions than him.

But Ramsey's merits are still there.

Good physical fitness, can go up and down, and has a large coverage.

At the critical moment, he can also step forward and have a shot on goal.

After the change of team, Ramsey saw hope of competing for the main team!

That's why he's so excited!!

The thick Welsh accent made Yelo a little difficult to hear.

But he also knew what Ramsey was talking about.

He doesn't really care much about the starting line-up, and he wants to see a dressing room environment full of healthy competition.

If Ramsey can get the main force through normal competition, Ye Luo will certainly not have any opinion.

There is a certain competitive atmosphere in a team.

It's a good thing for the team.

The other Arsenal players ran up excitedly to join in the celebration.

This game was originally prepared for a hard fight.

But who would have thought.

The team was so easy to take a 2-0 lead.

It was the team's first game after deciding to change tactics.

Such an easy lead has given the players more confidence in the team's new tactics practiced during this time.
