Midfielder

Padrick Vieira, a tough guy on the field who can be as fierce as Keane, the old villain, is standing in front of Lin Yi at this moment. The height difference between the two seems so obvious.

Vieira, who is more than 1.9 meters tall, basically stares at Lin Yi with his head down, but his expression looks very fierce.

Just like the fierce tackle he made just now, this guy exudes a threatening aura all over his body, especially when he is using this fierceness to intimidate the black-haired boy in front of him.

Vieira has been in the Premier League for so long that he has long been accustomed to dealing with various opponents, especially those who think they are very skilled. Fierce collisions and strong tackles are the best way to deal with them.

Only by letting them retain a fear of injury can they know whether they should choose to dribble. The best way to make them stop is to keep this fierceness in their minds and remember it forever.

Vieira's unfriendly expression made Lampard rush to Lin Yi quickly. He had been in the Premier League for longer than that little guy, so Lampard knew very well what kind of person Vieira was. If he got angry, he would be a very difficult character, and he also had a bad temper.

It can't be said that he would get angry easily, but it would not be surprising if that guy would fight on the field.

That guy is a famous red card king in the Premier League. If he didn't get a few red cards every season and caused a few conflicts between teams, then the referees would probably be a little uncomfortable.

This is Vieira's toughest side. He is so fierce on the field, especially to those opponents.

Even the old villain Keane once told his friends privately that the only person who can fight with him 1V1 on the field is Vieira. That guy not only helps the team in defense, but also has a hot temper.

Anyway, every time Arsenal's midfielder encountered trouble, this tall Frenchman was the first to stand up. He was also the well-deserved soul of Arsenal's midfield. Without his existence, Arsenal would not have been able to create the glorious record of winning the championship last season without losing.

But Vieira hated those guys who took advantage of the rules, especially Van Nistelrooy who had cheated a penalty kick under his nose. He had already fought with the Dutchman that time, and he kept calling Van Nistelrooy a whore. This matter even alarmed the English Football Association in the end, and he also received a big ticket.

But the Frenchman had long been accustomed to such things happening to him, and Wenger, the experienced guy, also tacitly allowed Vieira to toss like this. Anyway, Wenger knew that in the midfield of the Arsenal team, such a strong backbone must be left, otherwise the whole team would not be able to be fierce.

The scene of Lin Yi playing with Reyes in the penalty area just now had been seen by Vieira, so this time, the Frenchman wanted to teach Lin Yi a lesson so that the kid would be more restrained.

The main reason was that Lin Yi and Chelsea had just provoked Arsenal fans, which made Vieira unbearable. If he could still bear it at this time, he would be a coward.

In order to let the Chelsea guys understand whose territory this was, Vieira specifically found Lin Yi to let this little guy wake up and stop being so arrogant here.

However, the method Vieira used was indeed cruel enough for ordinary people. The referee did not take out a card, which was also considered to be lenient. After all, the guy's action was not to hurt anyone, but just a very fierce physical collision.

Vieira also wanted to use such a collision to let this black-haired kid understand that this is the Premier League!

And Arsenal's midfielder is not something he can just pass by as he wants. There is also a person like him on the court. If he wants to take advantage of the rules, then what awaits him is the extremely fierce collision and tackle just now.

However, Vieira's warning and foul also aroused the dissatisfaction of the Chelsea team. Lin Yi has long been an important member of this team. This kid's good popularity and good temper also made him very popular among his teammates. This time, someone stood up for him.

When Vieira was angry, Lampard was the first Chelsea player to rush over. He pushed the tall Frenchman away and yelled at the guy in a very impolite tone, "Go away! Stay away from our people! Otherwise, you will see what will happen! You damn black guy!"

Lampard didn't want Lin Yi to suffer any loss in this conflict with Vieira. If he really had to fight with the other party, he would definitely raise his fist and knock Vieira down without hesitation.

Drogba, the tough guy, also ran back from the front court. He stood next to Vieira in a provocative manner, and Carvalho, who was already very tough, also ran quickly to Lin Yi. If those Arsenal players wanted to fight, then these guys were very happy to accompany them. In an instant, the atmosphere on the field became very tense.

The players of both sides were concentrated in the midfield. If someone said something provocative at this time, then don't worry, even if this was a global live broadcast, they would turn this broadcast into a boxing match.

Anyway, the players of both sides were not so calm at this moment. Maybe this fierce game made everyone nervous, and a slight collision could cause a full-scale fight.

And the penalty and the provocation after the goal had already made Arsenal's players hold their breath.

If they could solve this problem with their fists, they would definitely be happy to do so. The Arsenal fans at Highbury were also using their boos and threats to warn Chelsea's players.

"Kill these sons of bitches! Let them know how powerful Arsenal's fists are! Beat them up!"

There were not just one or two people who shouted this, but tens of thousands of people. It can be seen that Chelsea has now successfully replaced Manchester United and become their most hated team, and the black-haired kid has become a thorn in their eyes. Many people want to jump down from the stands and teach these Chelsea people a lesson.

The most nervous person at this time is probably the referee. The penalty just now has already made both sides angry. Now it has become like this again. He really wants to pray to God. Why does this kind of top battle always have such a tricky situation? Damn, what is this!

Can't we just play a game quietly! ? Well, this is indeed difficult. No matter which country's league it is, when it comes to this kind of battle for the top spot in the league, it is estimated that the game will be so explosive.

After all, there is only one champion. No matter whether the result of this game affects the final championship, it is definitely a fierce fight. It was just a battle between Arsenal and Manchester United, but now it has become a confrontation between Arsenal and Chelsea, but this game seems to be much more popular than the traditional confrontation.

It is estimated that Kenyon no longer has to worry about whether his team has any disciplinary problems at this moment. Looking at the unity of action of these guys, there is no intrigue between multinational forces like other teams. At least on the court, they are completely united and difficult to be knocked open.

This is not the first time that this has happened. Even Brito and Mourinho don't understand why that kid can always make those teammates surround him wholeheartedly. It was like this when he was in Porto. Those guys always protected this kid.

"Is it so popular to have a face like a boy?" It is estimated that these two old perverts have considered this very boring hypothesis.

Fortunately, the dispute on the field did not develop into a bigger conflict. Although the players of the two teams were a little angry, they did not immediately throw punches at each other. With the warning of the referee, they quickly returned to their respective positions, ending the tense scene.

The tall Frenchman only warned Lin Yi in a fierce tone, and there was no physical conflict. His behavior also caused a verbal reprimand from the referee, but Vieira was already accustomed to the referee's reprimand that was not painful at all.

"Boy, be careful, I will stare at you tightly, don't try to escape." Even if there was a referee next to him, the guy still dared to say so.

"Don't worry, whoever retreats first in this confrontation will be a grandson. Remember this sentence, don't say I didn't remind you." Lin Yi looked at the fierce Frenchman and was not afraid. Instead, the warning from that guy aroused Lin Yi's determination to fight to the death with the opponent.

Do you think I was scared? Isn't it just a comparison of ruthlessness? OK, no problem, let's continue. Anyway, Lin Yi had already prepared for a fight to the death with the opponent before the game, especially Vieira's game video, he had watched it countless times, this duel will come sooner or later, there is nothing to hide.

Before playing this game, he knew that facing Arsenal was like facing Manchester United. The common point of the two teams is that they both have a strong midfielder. Since he has fought with old Keane, he will not retreat when facing Vieira now.

Only cowards will hide. In this kind of strong dialogue, only the one who wins can become the winner. Lin Yi wants to be a winner.

Mourinho had thought of this a long time ago, otherwise he would not have asked Lin Yi to pay special attention to Vieira. However, in the first ten minutes of the game, Wenger did not ask Vieira to take the initiative to defend Lin Yi as Mourinho thought.

Arsenal had been asking Flamini to keep an eye on Lin Yi since the beginning, and tried to make him create obstacles for Lin Yi's breakthrough in the midfield. Perhaps Wenger wanted Vieira to focus more on blocking the connection between Lin Yi and the front court, and did not actively interfere with the kid.

It may also be that Chelsea's two wingers have been too active recently. When his central defense was a bit tight, Wenger chose to be more stable.

But it was this stability that made Vieira fail to keep an eye on Lin Yi in time, especially giving the kid too much free space in the midfield, which indirectly caused Chelsea to tie the score so quickly. If Vieira was in front of Lin Yi when he broke through for the first time, maybe the kid would not have such a chance to pass the ball to the side, and there would be no damn tactical corner kick.

But Wenger did underestimate Lin Yi's ability to move on the field. Although Flamini had good defensive skills and was physically strong, he did not have any advantage in a head-on confrontation with Lin Yi, especially in terms of flexibility. He was simply led by Lin Yi.

In the first ten minutes, Flamini was not only passed by Lin Yi in a one-on-one match, but also lost focus due to the pass from that kid. He did not play the role of a central barrier at all. Not only did he fail to defend Lin Yi, but he also let Lin Yi tear apart Arsenal's defense from him.

But after ten minutes of the game, Wenger had already realized the mistake he had made, so he shouted loudly on the sidelines for Vieira to actively mark Lin Yi, while Flamini focused on dealing with Lampard.

Being able to adjust the team's tactics so early, it can be seen that the experienced Wenger does not want his team to make the same mistake again.

Especially in the defense of Lin Yi, Wenger is determined to let the strongest guy in his midfield deal with him to prevent any accidents.

Although Flamini still wants to prove himself in the confrontation with Lin Yi, Wenger has seen clearly that the two guys are not at the same level at all.

Anyway, judging from the current confrontation, if Flamini wants to defend Lin Yi's attack one-on-one, it is basically impossible, unless he deliberately hurts someone.

Otherwise, Flamini has no chance to restrict Lin Yi. That kid is much better than Flamini in terms of adaptability to the game and on-the-spot response. This is not a confrontation of the same level at all. That kid is simply a monster.

If you want to deal with a monster, then the simplest way is to find a guy who is also a monster to restrict him, at least to make that kid lose the ability to organize the front and back courts on the court.

If the current Chelsea team loses the organizational ability of this little guy, the threat in attack will immediately decrease.

Anyway, Wenger has made up his mind that he must not let that kid continue to stir up trouble like this, otherwise he can always feel that the danger is around him, and maybe there will be problems with Arsenal's defense.

Because you never know where Lin Yi's eyes are looking at, his sense of smell for defensive loopholes is as sensitive as a dog, which is really a headache.

Just like the confrontation between Lin Yi and Vieira just now, if Vieira hadn't knocked Lin Yi down fiercely in the midfield in time, the kid might have made another ghostly breakthrough.

Wenger has now made up his mind to do this. Vieira's confrontation ability, interception ability, and rich experience may be the best candidate to control the black-haired kid, especially in frontal defense. The Frenchman's long legs can cause a lot of trouble for Lin Yi's breakthrough.

And that guy did it. Just after Chelsea's free kick was sent, Lin Yi received a pass from Makelele about 40 meters away from the penalty area, but when he was about to turn around, the enchanting long legs appeared in front of him again.

The speed was amazing, and Lin Yi's reaction speed was indeed fast enough. He responded almost at the same time as the foot came over.

Although Lin Yi was very alert and even used his foot to pull the ball to avoid the sudden tackle, his body was still knocked out of position by the opponent. This was definitely an experienced defense. There was no foul, but it had disrupted Lin Yi's possibility of passing the ball in the first time.

And that guy stood up very quickly after the tackle and stood in front of Lin Yi. The big guy over 1.9 meters had completely covered Lin Yi's vision at this time. He also forced Lin Yi to choose to pass back, which completely disrupted Lin Yi's rhythm of passing the ball in the middle.

Especially Robben and Duff, who were waiting for an opportunity to start on the two sides, were now entangled by Arsenal's full-backs again and lost the opportunity to quickly advance. In this purely one-on-one confrontation, Lin Yi felt for the first time that his dribbling breakthrough became very stressful.

That guy is too damn tall. Those two long legs are simply an insurmountable obstacle. Just like the tackle just now, if he hadn't been more alert, Vieira might have successfully intercepted the ball. But Lin Yi knew that he had pulled the ball with his feet twice in a row to barely avoid the interception. If it was Flamini's defense, one pull would have been enough.

Just as Vieira said, what Lin Yi is facing now is a nagging trouble. He is at a complete disadvantage in height and physical confrontation, which makes Lin Yi always be careful of the opponent's all-round interception. Otherwise, he will lose the ball too easily in the midfield, which may become the starting point of the opponent's counterattack.

Now Vieira is like a big spider with eight long legs, tightly wrapped around Lin Yi, not giving him any chance to breathe and adjust, and always creating trouble for Lin Yi to control the football, not to mention giving this kid any chance to organize calmly.

Under the strong pressure of Vieira, Lin Yi could only choose non-threatening horizontal and back passes when he got the ball. The threatening dribbling and through balls were gradually reduced. Even in the last ten minutes of the first half, he could not see vertical penetration. This was the first time for him.

Even Mourinho, who saw this scene on the sidelines, fell into thinking. If Lin Yi was entangled by the opponent like this, then Chelsea's offensive focus and organizers must make corresponding adjustments.

Otherwise, such sporadic wing attacks would not threaten Arsenal's goal at all. But at this moment, Mourinho was also observing the little guy, because his mind was still very clear. The kid would never be willing to be strangled by the opponent in the midfield. He must be looking for a way to break the ice.

This is a confrontation between strong men. Lin Yi doesn't want to be trapped to death by a spider spirit. . .

(The Heat's Big Three were reversed again. With this mentality... How can they play in the finals? Are the Big Three laying a hook? Preparing for a shocking reversal in the end and winning the championship in one go? If this speculation is true, then I can only say that it is really weird to come up with this idea.)
