Midfielder

In the first sixty minutes of the duel between Chelsea and Arsenal, they were like two slow-moving giants. Every time they waved their fists at each other, they had to prepare for a long time, and they only had seven shots in total.

Although they scored three goals with an extremely high efficiency, this could not cover up the fact that they had been engaged in an ugly melee for nearly sixty minutes on the field. Apart from the goals, this game could be said to have no beauty at all.

Even the host in charge of the commentary complained helplessly, "The game was full of collisions and fouls, only fierce confrontations, and there was not much beautiful cooperation at all. The two teams were just competing to see who made fewer mistakes."

The three goals took no more than two minutes in total. In those sixty minutes, they relied on their bodies to win living space for themselves. The game was not only ugly, but also a little ugly.

But this was a compromise for victory. Even the old man Wenger knew how important three points were to him.

But the first sixty minutes of the game was like a warm-up for the two teams. When the score on the field became 2:1, the two teams started to accelerate at the same time, and the crazy competition on the field was also more than the soft and hard hand-to-hand combat just now. Almost every attack could cause great trouble to the opponent.

Not only Chelsea's counterattack can threaten Arsenal, but the crazy offensive firepower of the Arsenal also put a lot of pressure on Mourinho's team, especially Chelsea's defense line, which is always under test.

Especially the new Van Persie, after taking over Bergkamp's position, immediately launched an attack.

In the 65th minute, Fabregas passed the ball directly in the midfield, and Van Persie directly fired a heavy left-footed shot at the top of the arc in the penalty area. Cech's side dive did not catch the ball at all. Fortunately, the damn ball hit the post and went out. When Cech saw this scene, he lay on the grass and broke out in a cold sweat.

However, one minute later, Van Persie made a comeback, but this time he did not choose to shoot. Instead, he used a fake move to shake off Ferreira's defense and sent a very accurate low cross to Henry.

Henry, the top killer in the Premier League, managed to get the ball with his toes under the double-team of Terry and Carvalho, but his luck seemed to have run out after the start of the game, and the ball hit the post unluckily.

Such continuous attacks are just a microcosm of the game on the field. Just like this attack, Arsenal has been carrying out such fierce attacks for more than 20 minutes in the second half. This time Wenger did not leave any tricks, and he even urged his midfielders and defenders to participate in this crazy attack.

"Your goal is only that half! Attack! Remember! I only need to attack!" This may be the first time that Wenger, the old man, has been so radical in his on-the-spot command. He did not even consider the consequences of being attacked by the opponent.

"An indescribable madness." This is the most accurate evaluation of the host on Arsenal's attack.

In more than 20 minutes, Arsenal made a total of nine shots, six of which hit Chelsea's goal frame. Except for not scoring a goal, they were already very perfect.

But Chelsea's goal seemed to be locked, blocking all the shots outside the goal line. People like Cech and Terry built a dam for the Blues' defense that could not be broken.

In fact, in addition to commenting on Arsenal, the host in charge of the broadcast was more often talking about Chelsea's sharp counterattack.

Compared with the opponent's desperate attack, Chelsea's counterattack seemed more purposeful and more deadly.

Although they only had five shots in the last 20 minutes of the game, all of them were within the goal frame, and two of them hit the goal post. Compared with Arsenal's attack, theirs was more dangerous.

Especially the black-haired kid who had gone completely crazy. He performed wonderful performances again and again under the gaze of tens of thousands of people at Highbury Stadium, but I'm afraid no one would cheer for his performance at this moment.

Less than two minutes after Van Persie threatened Chelsea's goal continuously, Lin Yi counterattacked with actual actions. In the 67th minute, Lin Yi suddenly moved to the right side. After a two-on-one match with Lampard, he shook off Vieira's interception at a sprint-like speed.

On the right side, he used a stunning fake move to break through Fabregas, Ashley Cole and Campbell in succession, then broke into the right rib of the penalty area, faced Almunia's blockade, and shot a shot on the side net.

The whole process was so fast that it was scary, because when Lin Yi broke through three lines of defense in succession, Arsenal's players couldn't even stop him from committing a foul. What a terrifying breakthrough it was, it was a bit devastating.

If this kid hadn't handled the final shot a little rough, who knows if he would have recreated Maradona's century goal that dribbled past several players. Anyway, in the whole process, this kid controlled everything.

This is just part of Lin Yi's leading Chelsea's offensive tide. In addition to using such breakthroughs to cause trouble to the opponent, his passing is always the weapon that the opponent fears the most, especially when the players of both sides are charging desperately on the field, this kind of passing becomes even more important.

In the 76th minute, under the guard of Vieira and Flamini, Lin Yi once again used his unusual way to send a pass to Robben. When he was forced to the side, he actually used his right foot to go behind his body and make a reverse heel pass.

Another wonderful performance, and the ball was passed extremely accurately. After receiving the ball, Robben cut into the penalty area at high speed and hit Almunia with a powerful shot. However, this time Almunia moved well in advance. He blocked this threatening shot.

However, Almunia's frightened days were still to come. In the subsequent corner kick, Lin Yi slipped to the sideline without knowing when. With flicks and dunks, he once again moved forward close to the baseline and used fake moves to get rid of Almunia. Shley Cole's interception sent a cross straight into the middle of Arsenal's penalty area.

Drogba and Campbell struggled with each other and neither could get the first point. This gave Terry, who was ambushing behind, a chance to shoot. But this big brother perfectly demonstrated his ability when he was needed most. The defender's standard footwork, a shovel shot less than five meters away from the goal, actually missed the crossbar and flew out of the baseline. This embarrassing shooting skill made Terry hit the turf with his fist in annoyance!

"Damn it! Damn it!" It was indeed a pity to lose this opportunity, but when Terry waved his hand to apologize to Lin Yi, the boy just spread his hands to show that it didn't matter. This was just bad luck. Lin Yi, who had completely let go, didn't care about these things at all.

Lost an opportunity? It doesn't matter, because he can create such a fatal threat in front of the goal again, not this time? Then come again next time!

Chelsea's attack indeed made Wenger feel terrified on the sidelines, but he kept mobilizing his troops with an expressionless face. It was obvious that this old French man was determined to risk his life in the attack, even if it was his own. He had no qualms about the danger of the goal being opened again.

attack! He just needs Arsenal to play their usual attacking style! And people like Henry did not disappoint Wenger. Their offensive waves hit Chelsea's hinterland wave after wave, but their shots always missed the final goal.

Just like in response to Lin Yi's strong state, Cesc Fabregas, who was replaced only in the second half, also showed his talent on the turf. At least in the eyes of those Arsenal fans, this Spanish genius of ours is no better than the black-haired one. What's the difference between the boy and me?

Fabregas's performance was indeed impressive. Lin Yi was causing trouble in Arsenal's half, while Fabregas was causing trouble in Chelsea's half.

This Spanish young man performed very calmly when facing Thiago's interception. Like Lin Yi, he was mature beyond his years. His organization of the offense seemed clear and logical, and the kid's kick was far away. Shooting kung fu really makes Lin Yi very ashamed.

Nearly 80 minutes into the second half, Fabregas suddenly took a shot while moving at high speed about 30 meters away from the goal. This cold shot almost penetrated Cech's fingers. It was Cech who reacted quickly enough, and this ball also caused his mistake.

If Carvalho hadn't reacted quickly enough and made a big move in advance, Henry, who had inserted in the back row, might have ended Chelsea with a stab shot.

This shot also set off another wave of shouts in Highbury Stadium. The Spanish boy seemed to have become another great player who was about to rise in this stadium, and began to be known to more Arsenal fans. You know, This is only his first season.

Perhaps it was because this kind of shouting stimulated Fabregas' desire to attack. In the following time, this kid would participate in the team's offense whenever he had the opportunity, long shots, long passes, and beautiful points. , it seems that this kid is also responding to Lin Yi's crazy performance in this way.

It's just that in terms of sharpness, that kid has never been able to overshadow Lin Yi. Even Wenger's mentality admits this. It is also the first year to participate in the Premier League, but the black-haired man has already lifted the Champions League. The kid is obviously more in control of the game than Cesc Fabregas.

"Perhaps, the offer should be raised at that time." Wenger may still be upset about missing out on Lin Yi's joining a few months ago. Just like when Ferguson was defeated again by that little guy, the old French man was also worried about it. Arsenal are disappointed to lose such a treasure.

But Wenger also knew that he might never be able to give this kid as much trust as Mourinho did. If it were him, he might have given up on the idea of ​​Lin Yi continuing to be the main attacker at the end of the first half. No. It's possible for the team to make such a big adjustment just for him.

But Mourinho dared to bet like this, and he trusted Lin Yi so much. Maybe that guy had regarded this kid as the perfect work he had created. In his mind, there was nothing Lin Yi couldn't do. Even if it's a desperate situation, that kid can still grit his teeth and crawl out.

This is a kind of trust from the bottom of the heart that no one can replace, not even old guys like Wenger and Ferguson who admire Lin Yi.

In less than 30 minutes of the game, the number of shots by both sides was nearly twice that of the first 60 minutes. Chelsea and Arsenal staged such a crazy offensive wave in the final stage of the game. It seemed that at this moment, neither side considered the possibility that their own goal would be broken by the opponent. Everyone only had the opponent's goal in their eyes, including the defenders who had been committed to defense.

They were all attacking desperately. As long as they could tear open the hole in the opponent's defense line, for them, it was a mission accomplished. Even Mourinho did not replace Parker who had been warming up at the last moment, but replaced Lampard with Joe Cole who had a slight ankle injury.

"Keep putting pressure on the opponent in the offense and tell everyone that we want to win this game!" This was what Mourinho told Joe Cole when he came on the court. He needed to let every player understand that this was a contest between brave men, and retreat would only lead to failure!

Since Wenger dared to play so boldly, Chelsea had no reason to fear the opponent, not to mention that Mourinho had Lin Yi, who had gone completely crazy. This was a sharp knife he had buried in the opponent's throat, which could cut off the opponent's trachea at any time.

In the last less than 30 minutes, all the fans at the scene stood in their seats. Whether it was Arsenal fans or Chelsea fans, they were shouting for their teams desperately. This almost roaring crazy sound filled the entire Highbury Stadium.

Even Lineker and others who were responsible for the commentary had given up their usual gentlemanly manners. With the start of each attack, they were loudly warming up the atmosphere of the game. Maybe for these people, they hadn't seen such a crazy offensive game for a long time.

Utilitarian? Maybe if someone says that Mourinho's Chelsea team is utilitarian now, he should really confess to God. At least in the last 30 minutes of this game, both teams played unreserved offensive football, and they let this offense permeate every cooperation.

Continuous passing, arbitrary passing moves, when these confrontations filled the entire game, everyone was already crazy.

Campbell and Terry, the backbone of the defense, rushed into the opponent's penalty area more than once to compete for the opportunity to head the ball. Although they did not score, such an impact is a strong threat to any team. These guys also had physical collisions from time to time.

However, such a fierce game and fierce collisions did not make the referee Boll wave the yellow card in his hand all the time. Even in the last 30 minutes of the second half, he was almost unemployed. In total, he only showed Ashley Cole a yellow card and awarded several free kicks.

It was tense and intense, but the crazy attack did not exceed the scope of the rules, because at this time no one had the mind to do those little tricks. Everyone put the task of breaking the opponent's goal first, and no one would think of how to use the rules to pit the opponent.

"A wonderful game." This is everyone's evaluation of this confrontation in their hearts. The gorgeous technology and crazy attack, all of which intertwined, made the Highbury stadium a crazy stage. Everyone running on the field was desperately showing their impact.

Even the Arsenal fans forgot to boo the Chelsea players. Their only idea was to let the team score a goal as soon as possible, or even reverse the opponent.

But the old guy God did not come to the sky above the Highbury Stadium today, at least he did not bring Highbury a good luck. In such a turbulent offensive tide, although even Chelsea's steel defense line was shaking, the gunfire of the Arsenal could only extend to the vicinity of the goal line.

When they were closest to the goal, there was only a one-centimeter gap, but it was this one centimeter that prevented the score on the big screen from changing for a long time. Until the referee Boll blew the whistle to end the game, Arsenal's attack continued, and everyone seemed unwilling to accept this ending.

When Henry, who was panting, stopped recently, he was reluctant to look up at the damn big screen, because he didn't want to admit that the game was lost. They had a very perfect start, and they even knocked on the opponent's door in just over a minute.

But this damn game has lost its track since then, and everything seems so weird, from the opponent equalizing the score in the same quick way, to the opponent using a standard blitzkrieg counterattack to reverse the score when Arsenal began to have an advantage.

Everything seemed so abnormal this night, but Henry and other Arsenal players found it difficult to find a suitable reason for their failure.

Why did they lose? Can it really only be said that it was because of that magical black-haired kid? I guess no one is willing to admit this, including Wenger. No one is willing to say that Arsenal was defeated by one person, but now no one can deny the madness of that kid on the field.

It might be the first time that Vieira felt exhausted at the end of the game. He tried to calm his uneven breathing and looked at the black-haired boy lying on the ground with his face up in the distance. Whether the tough Frenchman was willing to admit it or not, he had lost the game.

Lying on the grass, Lin Yi clenched his fists tightly and raised them high to the night sky under the lights of Highbury Stadium. Although he had no strength to get up at this moment, he just wanted to yell at everyone, "Damn it! I finally won the game!"

In this confrontation with Vieira, he was not as calm as usual, but he was the winner of the game! He overturned a legend who was undefeated at home with his own feet! He also had the last laugh in this peak confrontation!

This is his game, and no one can change this fact. . .

(I am so melancholy... In the first quarter of the Magic vs. Warriors game today, there were all kinds of mistakes and weird things. I was really speechless. Is this the NBA? Why do I seem to see the shadow of the CUBA reserve team...)
