Midfielder

Chapter 461

Mourinho is a very unkind person. I guess no one would disagree with this, because this guy has been calculating others in every game since his debut, and his way of calculating others is very sinister.

For example, before the game starts, he will unscrupulously use words to tease or attack the opponent's head coach, from the arrangement of technical tactics to the internal contradictions of the opponent. Anyway, he will say anything he wants to say.

Insidious and vicious, this may be the most accurate evaluation given to Mourinho by his opponents.

Mourinho is indeed good at this kind of psychological warfare, otherwise Ferguson and Wenger would not regard this Portuguese as a serious concern, and they would be careful to guard against any sinister tricks he might play before every confrontation.

But sometimes, this kind of defense may not be effective, such as the current Arsenal team.

In the first confrontation at the beginning of the league, Wenger missed the best opportunity. He failed to win that key game before the end of Chelsea's running-in. Now he may have regretted it a long time ago.

Arsenal really wants to win the next game now to reverse the recent unfavorable situation, but Wenger has always had bad luck this season. Just when he wanted to make a comeback in the league, he ran into Chelsea.

Old enemy, Chelsea has probably replaced Manchester United and become Arsenal's biggest victim in the past two seasons, but Wenger has no confidence to say that he can definitely beat the opponent at Highbury.

This is really a sad reality. If they were still evenly matched last season, then this season all teams are watching Chelsea play alone, including Arsenal.

This is an unstoppable madness. It is difficult for Arsenal to beat the opponent even at home, not to mention that before the start of this game, they lost two generals in a row, Van Persie and Pires were all injured.

Fabregas, who has been the main player recently, has also been suspended due to accumulated yellow cards. The only main player Wenger can throw out is Henry, the only one left. Can he rely on a single arrow to confront Chelsea?

It is estimated that Wenger did not believe that such an unreliable thing could be accomplished, so before this game, Wenger did not provoke Mourinho, but was very low-key. It is estimated that the old man also knew that this game was definitely dangerous for Arsenal, so it was better not to humiliate himself if nothing happened.

Mourinho did not make trouble before the game. He kept silent very rarely, but this guy did not speak before the game, which did not mean that he would become a little more kind. Sometimes, wicked people are also very low-key.

When Chelsea visited Highbury, Mourinho said one sentence, "This may be the last time Chelsea and Arsenal meet here. Next season, everything will start anew."

Highbury's historical mission is about to end. Mourinho's words are also a reminder to others that this duel will be Arsenal's last chance to find a way to defeat Chelsea in this stadium.

If you miss it, you can see them at the new stadium next season, but Highbury will definitely be recorded in history. Wenger's team has not been able to take advantage of Chelsea for two consecutive seasons. Even if they are playing at home, they can only try their best to keep a draw.

Not much, but enough to defeat Wenger. Even if the old French man is more experienced, he has to consider the current mood of the fans. The team's record is bad enough. Is it going to be humiliated by the opponent again?

But now Arsenal really has no strength to claim that it can defeat Chelsea. Even at home, Wenger can only stand in the midfield and try his best to fight a war of attrition with the opponent.

But Mourinho is definitely not a good person. He will not overly squeeze Wenger in words, but his approach to arranging troops is really a bit embarrassing for Arsenal.

Campbell, Ashley Cole, Anelka, all those who were poached from Arsenal or had some problems with Wenger, Mourinho threw them all on the field. This kind of deployment was a naked slap in the face. It can be seen that Mourinho was not afraid of those boos at all.

"In front of those you once knew, prove your ability. You can do it."

Mourinho's words were not heavy, but these three guys seemed to have taken stimulants.

They almost rushed out of the locker room screaming. Brito watched from behind and threw a sentence, "Who am I following? Such a sinister and vicious method can be used."

Mourinho's actions were not too extreme. At least he did not throw all his main players on the field.

Since the opponent was a remnant, Chelsea did not have to play the autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves with the opponent. It would be better to save some energy to prepare to kill Barcelona than to ravage the Arsenal. Lampard and Gerrard did not play.

But it is enough to leave Lin Yi in the frontcourt. Gilberto had no way to deal with him. Without Fabregas' help this time, the miserable Brazilian was like going to die.

This is the 163rd derby between the two London teams and the 138th match in the league, but Lin Yi only had one sentence when facing these data: Have we lost in the past two seasons?

Arsenal has suffered two consecutive defeats in the league and has not scored a goal in three games. Can they rely on this offensive ability to open the goal guarded by Cech? Even if this is Highbury, there is no hope.

And the counterattack of the former Arsenal players became the motivation Mourinho cared about most. He might not expect these guys to be earth-shattering, but he needed these guys to stir things up at Highbury.

Perhaps Mourinho still underestimated the power of the boos in the stands around Highbury. This is not only a kind of pressure, but also a motivation for some people, such as the lone wolf Anelka.

The louder the boos, the more excited the guy is, and this excitement gives Anelka the motivation to make him calmer when running. Every move can allow Lin Yi to find a gap to pass the ball.

In the 39th minute, Lin Yi received Essien's direct pass in the midfield, and a running stride faked Gilberto with a fake move without touching the ball at all.

This miserable Brazilian is really helpless. In the previous half an hour, he let Lin Yi use all kinds of passing methods to play. Every time the kid got the ball, he felt his liver tremble.

This was originally a straight pass with no threat. As long as the position can be locked, everything can be resolved.

But Lin Yi just used his foot to circle the ball, and then made a fake move of pulling the ball horizontally. Gilberto was already dizzy. He believed it, but then found out that it was all a scam.

But when he reacted, Lin Yi had already stepped on the back of his foot and quickly passed by him.

And Lin Yi's passing was not the most sinful move of this guy. When Senderos' tall and strong body came over, Lin Yi used a nearly juggling way to make a heel pass.

Facing Senderos, he used a fake move of his heel to knock out a standard penetrating straight pass. The Arsenal defense line that just rushed over was penetrated by this pass in an instant, and Robben cut in at high speed against offside.

Robben successfully broke into the left rib of the penalty area from the left side against offside. Facing Lehmann who was attacking and Toure who was chasing back to block him, he calmly passed the ball to the back point with his left foot. A very light pass gave the striker a chance.

Anelka is not strong, but when he started first, Lauren couldn't hold him back at all. He could only watch the Frenchman complete a beautiful diving header under his nose.

I really don't know how long this prodigal son on the football field has been waiting for this goal. This is not his counterattack against Wenger, but it is a standard and very fierce counterattack against those who slandered him!

Beating his chest, Anelka didn't care whether he would get a yellow card if he took off his clothes to celebrate. Anyway, he just wanted to prove to those who were booing him just now that he was still the sharp knife!

Don't say ungrateful, it can only be said that this is a two-sided problem. Anelka's venting may be a bit too much, but for this person who has been suppressed for a long time, there is no more satisfying way than this.

Roaring and roaring can make a silent person burst out with this kind of energy. You should be able to imagine it.

This roar made Wenger much quieter on the sidelines, and perhaps he was also immersed in memories.

The guy who took off his shirt and ran wildly on the field just now was brought by him from France. He also tempered this guy into a sharp knife by himself, but now, this knife has stabbed himself.

I really don’t know what the old man feels now, regret? Annoyed? Maybe both.

No matter what emotion is causing this, it is a fait accompli that Arsenal is behind.

Even if Wenger changed his troops in the second half and also replaced the defender Gallas who transferred from Chelsea, he could not withstand Chelsea’s fierce attack. It seemed that this had become the opponent’s home court. Chelsea did not intend to save face for the opponent at all. Victory was the most important thing.

Chelsea’s fierce attack continued until the 73rd minute under the resistance of Arsenal, and the score was expanded again. After Lin Yi had been cruising in the middle for more than half of the game, he suddenly dribbled the ball to the side.

Gilberto, who had been substituted off the field, finally didn't have to worry about being fooled. He could finally sit on the sidelines and watch the game continue with a peaceful heart, while Flamini was the unlucky person.

They were both defensive midfielders, had the same fate, and were equally tragic. This was a naked tragedy.

Flamini had to pay a price every time he met Lin Yi in the past two seasons. He was either sent off with a red card or committed a foul at a critical moment. This time he couldn't escape the arrangement of fate.

Lin Yi, who had been organizing the attack in the middle, seemed to have run to the side this time as if by some strange coincidence. Flamini was caught off guard. By the time he reacted, Lin Yi had already started to cut in.

Gallas, who came on as a substitute, moved faster this time. He was also very familiar with Lin Yi's former teammate, but no matter how fast he moved, he couldn't be faster than the speed of the football. Lin Yi cut in and then passed the ball.

A 45-degree angled pass from the left side, but Lin Yi's pass is always like this, not high, but very fast, and the pass is often with strong rotation, so the goalkeeper dare not rush to attack.

Even if Lehmann, who is always brave, is standing in front of the Arsenal goal, he dare not rush out.

Senderos and Crespo, who came up in the second half, competed with each other. The height difference between the two is not much.

But the accuracy of header skills and grabbing points is a bit different. The young Senderos is obviously not as experienced as Crespo. He was a beat slower when competing for the header, and was headed by the opponent first.

However, Crespo's header was not completely in the right position. There was interference from Toure in front and a collision from Senderos behind. When he headed the ball, he only slightly touched the edge.

But such a slight touch was enough to change the trajectory of the ball. Lehmann also made a mistake in judgment. When he jumped up from the spot, he couldn't catch the ball with his open hands. He could only punch it out helplessly, but this hitting action did not keep the ball away from the goal at all.

Robben, who came in from the back row, immediately shot a half-volley at the edge of the small penalty area. Lehmann, who had just been lying on the ground, stood up again with all his might to block it. His fists can be said to have saved Arsenal again, but God didn't let Lehmann be a hero for too long this time. The ball that was finally blocked was intercepted by Chelsea players again. Ashley Cole, who came up from the wing, finally got the chance.

Cole, who had always been a defender, was also furious. He faced the ball and shot it.

This guy probably doesn't care about accuracy, he just swung the ball and kicked it, it doesn't matter whether it goes in or not.

But at this moment you must believe in God, otherwise you can't explain why Flamini stretched out his enchanting long legs at the critical moment, and blocked the shooting path.

The strange change of line made Lehmann's dream of acting as a guardian angel again shattered in an instant. This kick completely turned into a standard arc lob, and it was lobbed into the goal from Lehmann's head.

I really don't know if those Arsenal fans can remember the scene when Seaman was ravaged by Ronaldinho and Luka Modric when they saw this scene. Lehmann also tried it.

Now it is estimated that the old man Wenger can only point his trembling finger at Flamini and question this guy in an extremely sad and angry tone, "You, you, you are a fucking undercover!!!"

God did not take care of the weak this time. Although the weak were once very strong, they can only lower their heads helplessly in the face of reality. Regardless of whether they are willing to admit it or not, Chelsea is indeed much stronger than them now, even if they don't use all the main players to play this game.

Although 2-0 is not a very scary score, the embarrassing record of Arsenal's only three shots in the whole game has already explained everything. This game is not under their control. For Wenger, who has always advocated that the team play technical football, it is even more shameful than losing the game.

At this time, Mourinho was already discussing things with his subordinates. Of course, what this guy said must not be heard by Wenger, otherwise the old French man would definitely fight him to death, because this unkind guy was studying, "Do you think you can consider digging a few more people from Arsenal? I found that using their old players to fight them is really effective!"

Sometimes, people really should learn to be kind, but this is not applicable to Mourinho and Lin Yi. These two guys are just reborn from the loss of species, and they have always been very insidious.

Defeating Arsenal continued their undefeated record, and Chelsea also won in the subsequent league and FA Cup confrontations. The difference is that they used different lineups.

Now Mourinho is playing a big rotation of the whole team. Everyone can play and everyone can exert their energy. Even Lin Yi does not have to play in every game. He still needs more rest.

Before the big battle, Mourinho needs to let everyone accumulate energy to ensure that everyone can play and fight with the opponent, and this rotation system can keep everyone in high morale.

"I have a chance, I have to grasp it, I have the ability to compete for the main force." This is the central idea that Mourinho conveys to everyone. As long as you play hard, the team will have your place.

But Mourinho has never brought the full lineup to the table, which has made Rijkaard and his coaching staff very worried. They still can't determine Chelsea's starting lineup.

Even in a confrontation like Arsenal, Chelsea dared to play so thoroughly, which proves that they still have the ability to control the situation, and the recent state of winning consecutive battles is indeed a bit chilling.

How much potential do those guys have? It is estimated that no one can tell. In addition to the old faces last year, the information Rijkaard has collected now actually includes a bunch of dangerous newcomers.

Before the winter transfer period, Rijkaard knew that Chelsea would definitely buy people, but no one expected that these guys would buy so many at a time, and all of them could be used after they were bought.

Anelka, Cassano, Maniche, Bosingwa and Friedrich, these guys all play very prominent roles, and it would be a mistake to ignore any of them, but Chelsea now has so many players who can play, which makes Rijkaard fall into deep thought. He is not sure what the opponent will play.

Mourinho is a fox-like guy. His cunning is famous on the football field. Rijkaard has experienced it in the Champions League last season. He doesn't want to fall into the opponent's hands again, but guessing Chelsea's starting lineup now is even harder than climbing to the sky.

Double striker? Single striker? Three strikers? Mourinho has changed his offensive lineup very frequently in the last ten games. This is a maze, but who can guarantee that he is not digging a pit?

Besides, that Portuguese guy is a madman. The pit he dug must be filled with sharp knives.

If you fall in, you will die. The anxiety of Barcelona people began to ferment. . .
