Chapter 37、Everywhere is the protagonist

After the goal, Ryo Miyaichi was very excited.

It was his first competitive goal for Arsenal this season.

It means a lot.

Although it was Gnabry who had a direct assist.

But the little book also knows who has the most credit for this goal.

Not only him, but other Arsenal players also know that the main credit for this goal goes to Sui's head.

Arsenal's players embraced each other passionately.

Meanwhile.

Arsene Wenger on the sidelines also completely forgot about his bet with Yelo.

Yelo's performance in this game completely convinced Wenger, and he saw Yelo's greater ability than before.

He even began to reflect that he had underestimated Ye Luo a little.

He was far more powerful than he could have imagined.

This is true in every way.

For example, this goal is obvious, if the opponent has a large number of opponents, then Yelo can pass the ball.

What if there are fewer people?

If there are few people, there is no need to talk nonsense, just rush directly.

This is Yelo's greatest deterrent, as long as he is on the pitch, he is an eternal threat to the opponent's goal.

No team dares to ignore him, because the cost of ignoring him is already very clear.

However, even if you attach great importance to him and arrange a lot of defensive forces to defend him, it is impossible to play anywhere to restrain him!

Now Ye Luo has reached the point where he can build a strong system with his individual ability, which is enough to compete for any championship.

Arsene Wenger even wanted to take off his hat for Yelo.

He actually knew that Ye Luo's physical recovery was very good.

So good that the experts in Arsenal's medical department were amazed.

Therefore, not rotating Ye Luo seems to be risky from a technical point of view.

Arsene Wenger's decision to rotate Yelo was more out of caution as a coach.

But by now, Arsene Wenger has to admit it

Ye Luo won.

In this game, Chelsea are unlikely to turn the tables.

On the other side, Benitez's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

It was a huge loss for Chelsea

Knowing this, he simply used the substitute line-up, but now it is good that the main players played a meaningless game - this game Benitez did not see a chance to turn the game around.

Although he once led Liverpool to stage a miracle of falling behind by three goals in the first half and scoring three goals in the second half in Istanbul.

But he is also well aware that the current Chelsea team simply does not have the conditions to create miracles

The opponent is as steady as an old dog.

And he still put on a defensive counterattack posture.

What's even more critical is Ye Luo.

Benitez stared at Arsenal's No.10, as if trying to show the guy's true human face.

It's a pity.

Benitez is not an X-ray machine.

He didn't see anything.

I can only lament in my heart: Can such a player be born from an earthling?

Benitez has often been criticised for his lack of dressing room relationships.

But why does he always manage top teams?

That's because of his obsession with football tactics.

But now, Benitez suddenly feels.

Go for the tactics of the.

The appearance of such a player is simply a dimensionality reduction blow to any football tactic.

No matter what tactics are employed, it seems impossible to stop him.

Able to stop him.

Maybe it's just another player of the same level.

For example, a defender who can match Ye Luo's individual ability.

Or a striker who is on par with Ye Luo in terms of offensive ability.

Everyone competes with the superstar performance.

As for tactics?

Fight a fart.

The more Benitez thought about it, the more desperate he became.

Arsenal, who led by two goals, are now firmly seated in the Diaoyutai and continue to shrink their defense.

Chelsea, on the other hand, are a bit of a bogeyman.

They didn't dare to press too much on the offense, and they were unwilling to defend it.

In such a tangled mentality, the first half ended with a score of 0-2, the players of both sides entered the dressing room, the fans also took the opportunity to rest, and a large number of fans appeared in the passage of the stands.

After all, forty-five minutes have passed, and some people are hungry, thirsty, anxious, etc., all of which need to be solved.

At half-time, football experts from all walks of life also took the opportunity to analyze the first half.

Ye Luo's performance is of course unavoidable.

He was undoubtedly the center of attention in the first half.

In particular, the scene of Ye Luo's steal was constantly replayed by TV stations around the world, and it was analyzed frame by frame from every angle of the lens.

People can see it clearly.

Terry makes a feint to pass to Louis, and Yelo appears to have been fooled on the surface - he takes a step towards Louis.

But just as Terry shifted the ball to his left foot and prepared for a direct pass, Yelo adjusted his center of gravity, and he actually activated it before Terry's pass.

"Obviously, Yelo's previous running and pressing is not meaningless, he is familiar with and judging the passing habits of the Chelsea backfield players, Terry's direct pass is within Yelo's judgment, Terry made a feint, Yelo will calculate"

"Ye Luo's explosiveness and starting speed are also key factors in completing this successful steal, and his transition from static to dynamic can be described as lightning fast!"

"In terms of startup speed, Ye Luo may also be a top-level existence in history!"

Experts have lamented Ye Luo's launch this time.

Deception, will be counted, plus a staggering start-up speed.

It was only then that he finally made the steal and then made Terry's foul.

This was the biggest turning point of the game.

Fifteen minutes of the intermission passed quickly.

However, when the players from both sides returned to the pitch, it was discovered that Chelsea had made a substitution.

Malouda and Frank Lampard come on.

Malouda replaces Ramirez and Frank Lampard replaces Mata.

Chelsea, for their part, removed a midfielder and strengthened a striker, while adding a midfielder to the middle of the midfield.

It was clear that he was going to put on a strong attack in the second half.

This adjustment can be seen.

Rafa Benitez really didn't want to lose this game at home.

In order to press the offense.

Even David. As a centre-back, Luiz also moved his place to the back line when attacking.

David. Luiz is a Brazilian player with good skill at his feet and a long ball – in fact, there was a time when Chelsea handed away free-kicks from the Brazilian centre-back.

So he also has the ability to play in the back.

And in recent years, a central defender with the ability to organize and dispatch is also very popular.

One of the trends in the development of modern football is the change in the core position of the organization.

The playmaking core has retreated from the traditional No.10 position to a central midfield position, typified by Andrea Pirlo's style of play.

There is also the movement of the core of the organization to the side.

For example, Mata, David. Silva's way of playing is typical of a playmaker on the wing.

And the purpose of these changes.

It is to let the organization core avoid the middle of the opponent's dense defense, and go to the backfield and wing area where the strength is slightly weaker to carry out passing organization.

Since the core of the organization can be placed in the back, on the side.

That allows the central defenders to also have a certain ability to play the ball, which is also a normal development trend.

At least in the context of modern football, the central defenders who have established themselves in the top flight are no longer suitable for the requirements of the times if they are still only responsible for defending and intercepting like the previous central defenders.

Later it wasn't even just the centre-backs.

Even the goalkeeper needs to be able to play the ball.

For example, Bayern's goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is a very modern goalkeeper.

He is often seen outside the penalty area and even gets involved in the team's backfield and kicks the ball.

If it had been more than a decade ago, such a goalkeeper would have been considered "too risky" and "not steady enough" by the manager.

But now it's a growing trend to have goalkeepers on the ball too.

Football tactics are changing very quickly in the 21st century.

A tactic will be popular for fifteen years at most, and it will be studied and explored.

There is no one-size-fits-all tactic.

If the manager doesn't change with the times, improve, and work on new tactics, he will soon be abandoned by the times.

The tactics of football are to iterate, develop and evolve rapidly in the confrontation between the two major factions of inhibition and anti-inhibition.

Muscular midfield, winger flow.

Ball control flow.

Front-court mad dog stream.

Wait a minute.

In this era when the world of football is becoming more and more globalized and more commercial.

There is no secret to any football tactic that can lead the tide of the times.

Under the research of countless coaches and experts, and under the scrutiny of everyone with a magnifying glass, no tactic can be "fresh" for too long.

Many players who adapt to the previous style of football, no matter how good they are, will be eliminated because they can't adapt to the times.

Riquelme is good enough.

But he was still left far behind by the times.

David. A frizzy centre-back like Luiz would certainly not have been in Chelsea's eyes before.

But because he has the ability to play long balls and can form a complementary centre-back combination with John Terry, he can play as a regular at Chelsea.

David. Although Louis is reckless, because there is a steady Terry behind him, his recklessness is often compensated for by Terry.

But now he doesn't have Terry behind him to wipe his ass

Sixty-third minute of the game.

Luiz opted to dribble forward after winning the ball in midfield, ready to push closer to the Arsenal goal before making a passing option.

When the time comes, he can not only move left and right, but also come with a long-range shot.

The idea is very good.

But he didn't notice.

When he chooses to move forward with the ball.

Ye Luo was already eyeing him.

Just as Louis looked up ahead.

He heard Frank Lampard exclaim: "Be careful!!" ”

He subconsciously turned his head, only to see that Ye Luo had already rushed up, and before Luis could react, Ye Luo stabbed him with the ball at his feet with one kick!

"David. Luis dribbles the ball. Ye Luo!! Steal Success!! Arsenal's counterattack!! ”

'It was the second time in the game that Yelo had made a successful tackle from the feet of a Chelsea centre-back!'

In the midst of the exclamations of the commentators and the fans at the scene.

After completing the tackle, Yelo dribbled straight forward and pounced in the direction of the Chelsea goal.

But unlike Terry's time, at least David. Luiz conceded the ball in midfield and Gary Cahill wiped his ass behind him.

"Damn it!"

Benitez was shocked.

Wenger's eyes on the other side showed a look of surprise: "This steal ability. When did he own it? ”

Blake gave a "how the hell do I know" expression.

Arsene Wenger can now be regarded as having the same mood as Pellegrini at the beginning - Yelo pulls out the jaw-dropping ability from time to time.

Very much compared to that time.

Now Ye Luo has converged a lot.

In the midst of the shrill boos of the scene.

Yelo dribbled the ball straight into the Chelsea goal.

Gary Cahill, who had been retreating constantly, quickly lost his breath, and he did not dare to retreat until Yelo entered the penalty area.

So I had to bite the bullet and go up.

Facing Yelo, Cahill lowered his center of gravity and stared at Yelo's feet, Yelo raised his right foot in the process of dribbling the ball at high speed, and made a gesture to smash the ball, although Cahill suspected that it was a feint, but he still reacted immediately.

Cahill's body leaned to his right.

At the same time as he made the move, Yelo's right foot also passed over the top of the football, and then... Outside instep pluck!

"Oxtail!!"

The commentators exclaimed.

In a state of high-speed movement, a bull's tail has made Gary Cahill clean!

The boos at Stamford Bridge are at their peak at this moment.

Just under the boos from the sky.

Petr Cech struck hard.

Honestly, Cech didn't get much of an appearance in this game, but every time he appeared on camera, it was almost the kind of moment that made Chelsea fans almost desperate.

In the face of Cech's attack, Yelo went straight forward with the ball.

He could certainly fool Cech with a feint.

But Ye Luo felt that it was not necessary.

If Cech wants to pounce, it will most likely be on his own feet, and then it will be another red dot package.

John Terry has been sent off with a red card.

If Cech is shown another red card, he will be sent straight away.

Chelsea's two 'team committee' bigwigs were suspended for at least three games at once.

In the next three league games, Chelsea are likely to drop a lot of points.

As a result, Chelsea could even fall directly from the title contenders to the top four.

A League Cup to suspend two of Chelsea's main players is really worth it.

However, Cech is calm, and he knows that if he knocks Yelo to the ground, it may not only affect the outcome of this game, but also the rest of the team's games.

If he gets a red card, the team will have to play two fewer games in this game, and it will definitely be lost.

In the next league, I will also be suspended.

This red card is not worth it - this is only a League Cup round of 16 game, not a Champions League match.

So at the crucial moment, Cech pulled it off.

Yelo got past Cech with ease.

Now that Cech had taken the lead, Yelo certainly wouldn't have wasted such a chance and swept the ball towards goal with his right foot.

At the moment when the ball crosses the goal line.

The boos that reached the climax came to an abrupt end.

There was a pause for about a second, as if there was an abrupt pause in the melody of the song, and then. Another climax has arrived.

Amid the boos in the sky, Ye Luo opened his arms to welcome his teammates who celebrated.

And when Arsenal's celebration was over, the stadium boos fell back.

Calm down, Chelsea fans returned to their seats.

Trailing 0-3.

The game was lost.

Many Chelsea fans sat in their seats blankly, with bitter expressions on their faces.

And some fans chose to leave the stadium early.

The big picture of the game has been decided.

Many Chelsea fans don't want to stay on the pitch.

Once the game restarted, the camera locked onto the road outside Stamford Bridge and a large number of fans in blue shirts could be seen exiting the pitch.

And for the Chelsea players.

They were also stunned.

Trailing 0-3 and playing one less, the last bit of hope in this game is gone.

The whole main force faced the opponent with an almost all-substitute lineup, and it was still playing like this.

Chelsea's players are frustrated to the extreme.

Under the influence of such emotions.

In the second half of the race.

Chelsea's players are also getting bigger.

They seem to want to vent their frustration on these big fouls.

The game was frequently interrupted and the two sides clashed.

This made Wenger on the sidelines look shocked.

Finally.

The seventy-eighth minute of the game.

After seeing Yelo being knocked to the ground by Mikel, another clash broke out between the players of both sides.

Arsene Wenger couldn't take it anymore.

He opted for a substitution.

Podolsky replaces Yelo.

Yelo was still a little unsatisfied, but he still did not publicly resist Wenger's request for a substitution – otherwise, the next day's headlines would have absolutely nothing to do with the game.

With the captain's armband on Vermaelen's arm, Yelo trotted to the sidelines, hugged Podolski, and quickly made a substitution.

At this point in the game, there is no suspense, so there is no need to delay time.

Wenger also hurriedly came up to high-five Yelo to explain the purpose of his substitution.

"I'm afraid they've kicked you." Arsene Wenger.

"I understand, sir." Ye Luo nodded and said.

People are also well-intentioned, and Ye Luo will certainly not lose face because of this.

Arsenal staged a picture of "generals and commanders concentric".

And what about Chelsea?

Benitez yelled at the players on the pitch to calm them down, but it didn't work.

Yelo walked to the bench.

The camera also follows him all the time.

After high-fives with the players on the bench, Yelo took the dry towel handed over by the team's support staff.

He had to wipe the sweat off his body before putting on his coat.

After all, the temperature in England is very low right now.

If you don't keep warm, you might catch a cold – don't think that footballers are more resistant to colds than the average person.

A cold is essentially a fight between the immune system and viruses and germs, and sometimes the stronger the immunity, the easier it may be to catch a cold.

And it's really not a very comfortable place in England.

The dimension here is very high, almost the same as that of the three eastern provinces, the cold time of the year is too long, and the summer time is too short.

It is also an island located near the Atlantic Ocean, which brings abundant water vapor from the sea breeze.

It is foggy and rainy all year round.

It's clammy and clammy all year round.

The weather in Spain, which is located in the south of Europe, is incomparable.

When it comes to holidays, I don't hear that many Premier League players stay in England for holidays – what a holiday to stay in England is, it's a crime.

The sun is not shining enough on the beaches on the northern shore of the Mediterranean, and the beauties of Italy and Spain are no more fragrant than those of England.

Ye Luo also felt a trace of coldness at this time.

He put on his coat and sat on the bench looking at the pitch.

There's really not much to say about the game so far.

After Yelo went off, the fighting spirit of the Chelsea players also completely dissipated.

The game looked uneventful.

So the TV footage frequently switches outside of the game.

Chelsea fans in the stands cheering off the pitch.

Close-up comparison of the expressions of the head coaches of both sides.

There are also close-ups of the expressions of the players on the bench on both sides and so on.

Among them, the one who gave the most shots was undoubtedly Ye Luo.

He didn't make any special moves.

Cazorla, who was just wrapped in the same coat as the one next to him but looked unlikely to play in this game, talked in a low voice.

Then I talked to the coaches who came to me.

The team doctor also came over to ask Ye Luo if he had any special conditions.

The camera frequently switches to Ye Luo, which makes Duan Xuan complain: "Ye Luo was replaced, but it seems that he is still the protagonist, and now everyone doesn't seem to care much about the situation on the field, but more about Ye Luo's every move on the bench, but it's also said . Ye Luo sat on the bench, this picture is really rare. ”

The minutes and seconds of the game passed.

Neither side created any good chances for the back of the net.

Chelsea, for their part, were looking to play a wave of attacking attacks at the end of the game and score a face-saving goal.

But before they focused on fouls, it was difficult for them to get tight, not to mention that they had one less player on the court.

And Arsenal, after Ye Luo left the game, completely put the bus on the ball.

So there are very few wonderful pictures.

The final scene of the game was so bland that it was lethargic.

Three minutes of stoppage time expired.

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

"It's over! It's over!! ”

'Arsenal unexpectedly beat Chelsea away and knocked out their opponents to reach the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup!!'

"Yelo has once again become the key man for Arsenal, he first made a foul on Terry, sent off the field with a red card, took the penalty himself, and then instigated Arsenal's second goal, and his third goal was also a direct steal after David Luiz."

"Two steals from Ye Luo, it's really unexpected!"

"Previously, people thought that Chelsea would win this game, and it was difficult for Yelo to get support from his team-mates even if he started, but now Yelo has unexpectedly shown his ability to make tackles. Don't have teammates to support you? I'll steal it myself! ”

At the first moment of the end of the game.

The camera's lens locked on Yelo on the bench.

Yelo got up and high-fived his teammates one by one to celebrate the victory, and as he stepped off the bench, the match staff also came to remind Yelo to attend the post-match interview, of course, because he was the best player of the game.

"You made a good tackle and Terry helped the team establish an advantage, did you anticipate the direction of Terry's pass?"

A reporter asked.

Ye Luo looked at the reporter, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm lucky, I bet on his passing line, maybe my wife underestimated me." ”

When he said this, Ye Luo couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It's really gratifying that the opponent dares to underestimate himself.

Ye Luo was even looking forward to the opponents he would meet in the future.

Journalists in England were a little embarrassed to hear Yello's laughter.

Most of them were laughing at Ye Luo before this, but who would have thought that Terry could have such a "low-level mistake".

Yes, the English journalists spoke in unison, and this was a "low-level mistake" by Terry.

Ye Luo was just lucky.

'Arsenal are on the bench in the last eight of the Carabao Cup, so what's your goal next?'

A reporter asked.

"For me, no matter what the tournament is, it's all about going for the championship."

Ye Luo said.

He didn't care what Wenger thought.

Anyway, as long as he's on the field, it's to win!

He plays football, never to lose.

"We lost to Yelo."

Facing the cameras of the journalists.

Benitez shook his head.

'The result of this game was an accident and John Terry's being sent off was the turning point of the game and if that was the case, we couldn't have lost this game!'

'Yelo has a lot of individual quality and it's not easy to defend him, especially when we have one man less.

'The defeat was just an accident, yes, it was just an accident, we are still one of the strongest teams in the Premier League, going out of the Carabao Cup doesn't mean anything, our focus is always on the league!'

After the loss, Benitez began to be busy cooling down.

However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Benitez sent an all-out main force at home to win.

But now that he has lost, he can only be busy reducing the impact of this loss on the team and minimizing the impact as much as possible.

"Yes, I'm ready to lose this game."

Arsene Wenger was very honest when he was interviewed by reporters.

'But that doesn't mean we have to throw up our hands and throw in the towel, as it turns out we have a strong bench and the young players in this game are doing well and they will get their chances in the next games.'

Arsene Wenger has now begun to think about training young players in the League Cup, with Ye Luo with him, at least the results will not be too ugly, such a game is also of great value to the training of young players, why not?

'As for starting Yelo, because we don't think Yelo's fitness is a problem, he's in good shape, and we didn't even notice that he had a drop in fitness. So as long as Yelo can play, we will arrange for him to start. ”

Arsene Wenger said.

Can he say he lost the bet? Of course not.

So that's all he can say.

=

'We're happy to win this game, we're certainly happy to be in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup, there's three games to go in the Carabao Cup, so I think we have the ability to go one step further in this competition because Arsenal haven't won the trophy for a long time.'

The media was also talking about the match after the game, but the focus was on Yelo.

John Terry's red card was not controversial. On the contrary, it was Yelo's ability to steal, or the prediction of Chelsea's backfield players' passing and belting, that made the media very interested, which were things that Yelo did not show before.

So was it luck that he stole Terry and Louis, or did he really have that energy?

No one can tell.

"Do you think it's luck?"

Newcastle manager Allan Brown. Pardo is also working on the game.

In fact, this game is usually not worth researching.

But because Ye Luo unexpectedly showed new abilities.

Jean Alain. Pardo focused on the footage of the game.

After the footage froze, he turned to look at his assistant.

His assistant looked at it for a long time, then shook his head and said, "I don't think it's luck!" He did show that ability. ”

"But his fitness must have taken a lot of time in this game, maybe we can start with that!"

"Fitness."

Alain Pardu groaned.

Newcastle used to be considered a Premier League powerhouse.

But Newcastle is no longer what it used to be.

After 16 league games this season, Newcastle have only picked up 16 points.

But here's the good news

Fifteen of those points have been won at home.

Although in theory, Newcastle have not yet completed relegation.

But their home record is quite impressive.

If you just look at the home stadium, they can finish fourth in the league

They have played seven games at home this season.

The result is 4 wins and 3 draws.

Haven't lost at home yet!

Therefore, for Alain Paddu, making the most of the home points is the key to the team's relegation this season.

Even against Arsenal, who have been in great form this season, he dared to tear a few pieces of flesh off his opponents at St James' Park
