Before the start of the second half.

Didier Drogba was on the sidelines.

He replaced Ramirez.

Next back waist.

Previous center.

Chelsea have to play with a two-centre-forward approach.

Drogba played as a double centre-forward with Demba Ba and Eden Hazard as a free man up front, and he was actually closer to a number nine and a half.

Chelsea are in full swing.

Not surprising by Chelsea's changes.

Because.

Everybody knows.

Chelsea want to win!

Losses, or even draws, don't mean anything to them.

It's about success or failure.

Chelsea have plenty of reasons to fight for their lives.

Arsene Wenger also knows Chelsea will fight for their lives.

But he didn't expect it.

Ranieri could have been so bold.

It's unusual.

After all.

In Wenger's impression of Ranieri.

Ranieri.

He is a very conservative coach, and his team is more often on the defensive, relying on counter-attacks to win.

Now the direct three strikers are fighting.

It's really rare.

Chelsea are Premier League giants, and the strength of their squad should not be underestimated.

So in the second half the game just started.

They did create some opportunities.

It's just that.

This is the opportunity.

None of them could get it.

Drogba works hard.

But.

The years are unforgiving.

Drogba is old.

His physical impact, speed, and fitness have all dropped significantly.

Facing the defence of Van Dijk and Mertesacker.

He failed to show the physical crushing advantage of the monster back then.

He can only rely on his own experience to complete the tandem in the front court.

But how does the work of tandem require Warcraft to complete?

He's going to try to attack the goal after all.

Fiftieth minute of the game.

Drogba started his first attempt.

But.

When he took the ball with his back and tried to single-handedly beat Van Dijk.

He was defeated.

Van Dijk cut the ball right at his feet.

Arsenal took the opportunity to fight back.

In the end, Mane's shot was denied by Cech.

The camera quickly showed Drogba.

Andy looked depressed.

He had to admit it.

Myself, I'm really old.

It's the world of a young player like Virgil van Dijk.

Competitive sports, that's how cruel it is.

A new generation replaces the old.

Age.

It is a hurdle that all athletes cannot bypass.

"Drogba couldn't win physically, he lost the ball!"

'Drogba is old and it's hard for him to play against defenders like he used to.

"Warcraft, it's old."

The narrators saw this.

They all sighed.

Van Dijk won the confrontation with Drogba.

This made Wenger, who had been a little worried before, sit down.

If it's Drogba in his prime.

Van Dyck.

It's going to be stressful.

But now.

Drogba's best physical impact has lost its effect.

He simply can't compare to Van Dijk in physical confrontation.

Case.

So what else is there to worry about.

After a rush from Chelsea at the start of the second half.

That's next

It's Arsenal's world.

Whether it's against the attack.

Or take it back to defend the counterattack.

Chelsea are struggling to deal with it.

Now Chelsea have taken the initiative to press.

Then Arsenal, naturally, have to take a good hold of the counterattack.

Arsenal's players would have liked to see Chelsea press as well.

They're all a little tired of attacking their opponents' buses.

After all.

Now Arsenal have a reputation.

Most of the teams, when they meet them, are stubborn.

No space is given at all.

Every game is about dismantling the opposing team's bus.

It is also easy to produce aesthetic fatigue.

Since Chelsea want to attack.

Then the Arsenal players will naturally have to cooperate.

They take the initiative to recycle.

Hold the fence steady.

Let the opponent take the initiative to expose the space behind them - because if Chelsea want to press, then there must be space at the back.

Arsenal just have to hit them behind.

Ranieri knows this too.

But he couldn't help it.

Now his team is the one behind the other.

He can only take risks.

Ranieri prayed in his heart that his team would have some luck.

When the head coach of a team starts praying to God.

Just explain.

He actually knows that.

The probability of losing is very high.

Arsenal's front trident is too suitable for counter-attacking.

Fifty-second minute of the game.

Yelo sent the ball into the Chelsea goal.

It was a long ball after a break at the back and straight behind the Chelsea defence.

Because Chelsea pressed on the attack, in order to avoid a disconnect between the back and midfield, their back line must also press up and maintain a reasonable distance from the midfield.

Therefore.

In the face of Arsenal's long balls, they could only passively chase back.

But who can catch up with Ye Luo?

So they could only watch as Su Han shot through the goal of Cech's handle.

Fortunately.

This time it was the linesman who saved them.

The linesman raised the flag.

It means that Ye Luo is offside.

"Yelo. What a pity! This ball is offside! ”

'Millimeter. It's hard to say if Hierro was offside. ’

"I feel like the linesmen are a little bit stricter."

The commentators shook their heads and said.

The TV footage also showed the moment of Cancelo's long pass, the position between Yelo and the players in the Chelsea backline.

Yelo is almost parallel to Chelsea's two centre-backs.

There was no offside.

You can't tell with the naked eye alone.

Not to mention the naked eye.

Even if there is a VAR in later generations, it is necessary to distinguish whether there is an offside position in this situation.

It's all subjective.

It can only be said.

This time.

It was the referees who took Chelsea's home advantage into account.

But this ball also reminds everyone.

How risky is it for Chelsea to play like this?

Ye Luo was a little helpless.

He's going to celebrate.

As a result, the linesman was seen raising the flag.

He shook his head slightly, not bothering the linesman.

Just turn around and go back.

Kick it like that.

There is an opportunity!

Ye Luo was right.

Three minutes later.

Arsenal won the one-on-one goal.

As Chelsea's side were defending with the focus on Yelo.

Hence ignoring the defence against Sanchez and others.

The 55th minute of the game.

Cazorla received the ball and went straight through!!

Sanchez cut in at high speed – this time, when Cazorla passed the ball, Sanchez stayed in his own half and didn't cross the halfway line at all.

This situation.

In any case, there is no such thing as being offside!!

The Chelsea players could only watch as Alexis Sanchez caught up with the ball and dribbled forward!

"Single knife! Single Knife! Sanchez!!! ”

In the narrator's exclamation of this.

Petr Cech struck decisively.

The two sides met on the edge of the penalty area.

Sanchez is going to dribble past Petr Cech and hit the empty net.

But at this critical juncture.

Petr Cech slams to the ground, tackle!

Sanchez falls to the ground!

Football.

Out of the bottom line

"Foul!!"

Wenger raised his arms and shouted.

On the other side, Ranieri broke out in a cold sweat.

"Got the ball!"

He's chanting too! (End of chapter)
