Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

Chapter 225 Premier League Overlord, King of London! [Big guys please subscribe! 】

"They're back! I know, maybe it's too early to say that.

But as far as I am concerned, the Chelsea that I remember as being tough as iron and fighting back like fire has returned to my sight!

Just like what Mourinho did after coming to this team in the summer of 2004, he once again repeated the work he did back then!

He is building a true army of kings!

The Chelsea team that year was extremely successful in the Premier League, and after three years of absence from the Premier League championship trophy, Abramovich invited Mourinho back.

This special madman who once gave Chelsea his soul!

He returned to London with his most proud disciple.

Now, he and his new Chelsea are right in front of us, giving us the most exciting performance.

That’s the return of the king! "

The commentator of Sky Sports was very excited, and his words also reminded countless English fans of the super Chelsea team that successfully caused a blue storm in the Premier League!

There are many fans who like gorgeous offense, quick counterattacks, and mercury-filled midfield passing coordination.

But there are also many fans who like tough confrontation, fierce fighting, tough defense and destructive beauty on the field.

Mu Qi’s Chelsea is the ultimate interpretation of the latter.

Before playing Arsenal, many Chelsea fans were worried whether their team would suddenly encounter Waterloo.

After all, in the previous three seasons, apart from reaching the Champions League final in 2012, the aging Chelsea has repeatedly shown weakness in the Premier League and Champions League.

They are no longer a championship contending team.

All Chelsea fans are well aware of this ahead of this summer's off-season.

After being eliminated from the Champions League semi-finals by Barcelona in the 2008-09 season, Chelsea reached its final peak.

Chelsea's performance in the Champions League in the summer of 2012 excited and moved countless Chelsea fans.

But when they finally fell to the devil-like Real Madrid, the cries of the old boys also broke the hearts of Chelsea fans.

"A team like Chelsea (in 2012) that has created miracles in the Champions League and is so tenacious will probably never be seen again."

Li Ang's interview speech after the game that year was firmly remembered by all Chelsea fans and has been remembered to this day.

This may also be an important reason why Li Ang quickly gained the support and love of local fans as soon as he moved to Chelsea.

Li Ang truly loves the Chelsea team, and he has never shied away from this, even when he was at Real Madrid.

He respects Chelsea enough, he is a Chelsea fan, and he is also "one of his own" in the hearts of all Chelsea fans.

Therefore, Chelsea fans trust him very much, and Mourinho declared:

Fans also fully agree and support the plan to "build a new Chelsea team with Li Ang as the core".

But as the season progresses slowly, the fantastic results have brought great surprise and joy to Chelsea fans.

But it has always made them feel uneasy.

Yes, they have played in front of other strong teams, such as Manchester City, Tottenham, Everton...

They all won.

It cannot be said that it was easy to win, but Chelsea did have the upper hand during the game.

But this uneasy feeling still existed until the big game between Chelsea and Arsenal.

Many Chelsea fans jokingly made similar remarks on the Internet before the game started:

"It doesn't matter if we lose this game. I just hope that our players will not be affected. They have played well enough in previous games."

Such a joke may seem open-minded, but in fact it still reveals the slight lack of confidence in the hearts of Chelsea fans.

Perhaps it is because they were eliminated in the Champions League group stage last season and were suppressed by Atletico Madrid in the Europa League final.

Or maybe it's because of last season's chaotic performance in the league and the thrilling experience of breaking into the top four at the last moment.

Chelsea fans are still not used to the fact that they have returned to the top ranks of Europe's top teams.

In the minds of many Chelsea fans, they were actually prepared for the sudden decline in the team's performance.

Mainly in the past three seasons, Chelsea's performance has been mostly like this.

At the beginning and middle of the season, there may be such a period of performance that looks very good.

But the subsequent collapse in performance was also very sudden, and it really collapsed. No players were even injured, and no one knew which part the decline in performance originated from.

So at today's Emirates Stadium, Chelsea scored in the first seven minutes, making all Blues fans feel surprised and reassured!

It turns out that they really didn't take advantage of the schedule, and relied on so-called good luck to remain at the top of the league.

When they defeated Manchester City before, many neutral fans argued that it was because Manchester City was still further adapting to Guardiola's tactics at that time.

He also said that if Chelsea and Manchester City play again, Chelsea may not win.

So now facing Arsenal, the second-best opponent in the Premier League, Chelsea still quickly gained the lead. How to explain it?

Chelsea has indeed transformed, and the speed of transformation and reconstruction even exceeds the imagination of Chelsea fans!

The self-confidence that should match Chelsea's current strength is rapidly growing in the hearts of Chelsea fans.

Just like when Chelsea in the first period of Mu suppressed Arsenal and Manchester United in the league.

At that time, all Blues fans were able to face any Premier League team with confidence.

Now all the Blues fans believe that it won't be long before all that familiar feeling will come back!

They were so surprised and inspired.

In contrast, Arsenal fans only feel miserable and uncomfortable at this moment.

Just like Wenger who looks downcast at the moment!

"We must step up our offensive, and we must equalize the score in the first half no matter what! We cannot have a positional war with Mourinho, let alone let them slow down the rhythm!"

In his anxiety, Wenger sped up his speech and inevitably emphasized his tone when communicating with his assistants.

The scene of last year's encounter with Real Madrid led by Mourinho in the first leg of the Champions League knockout round is still fresh in my mind.

Wenger is really fed up with being targeted tactically by Mourinho and has been playing at Mourinho's pace!

Mourinho wants to calmly prevent counterattacks? Then he will not give Mourinho any chance to slow down the pace easily!

After Wenger quickly made a tactical response, Arsenal's players quickly calmed down.

Well, conceding the goal so early in the first half was indeed a very demoralizing situation for the Arsenal team.

But fortunately, the professor's response was very timely this time. Regardless of the result, Arsenal's players at least quickly unified their tactical thinking on the court.

Waiting for Chelsea to end their celebration, Cavani stood by the kick-off point with his arms akimbo, looking towards Chelsea's half with Ramsey.

They must seize the time to attack and break through Chelsea's strong defensive system earlier.

This is a difficult challenge for Cavani, but it is also a challenge that excites him and boosts his fighting spirit!

He must shine his own light in this highly anticipated game, and he must become Arsenal's hero!

Scored this crucial equalizer goal for Arsenal, and nothing else...

etc!

Isn't it time for Chelsea to retreat to defense? !

After the restart, Cavani saw the Chelsea players who did not retreat to the half-court, but instead pressed fiercely towards the Arsenal half, and his mind could not turn around for a moment.

At this moment, Arteta, who had just taken possession of the ball, looked at Li Ang who was rushing towards him fiercely. He had no choice but to split the ball to the side and then take the initiative to retreat and run.

Chelsea's defensive pressing this time was very fierce and determined!

Li Ang and Ibrahimovic rushed to the Arsenal backcourt organizers to get the ball.

Hazard and De Bruyne moved inward slightly and continued to put defensive pressure on Arsenal's midfield organizers.

Cazorla immediately retreated to help his teammates in the midfield and backfield to transfer the ball and provide support.

But the moment he turned around after receiving the ball, he directly saw Azpilicueta rushing towards him!

Cazorla, who was startled, could only choose to knock the ball back again.

And when he turned around to look, he realized that Azpilicueta had already crossed the center line and ran into Arsenal's half to defend him one-on-one!

Both of them are regulars in the Spanish national team, so they naturally know how good each other is.

Cazorla was very convinced of Azpilicueta's defensive ability, so his heart was also filled with a haze.

Chelsea's defensive pressure was beyond his expectations.

Under Azpilicueta's marking, it is still very difficult for him to force a one-on-one breakthrough.

Walcott on the other side will also receive "personal care" from Ashley Cole.

Arsenal's center is already being suppressed by Chelsea, which is quite uncomfortable at the moment. If the two wings can no longer open an offensive gap, how can Arsenal break the situation?

Arsenal's midfielders, who were almost pinned in their own half, still controlled the ball relatively steadily.

But except for cross passes, there is basically only a return pass organization method, which does not help Arsenal's offense at all.

Arsenal's midfielders can rely on their excellent foot skills to cope with Chelsea's full press.

But how to deliver the ball forward is a big problem.

And one more thing, under Chelsea's strong high-position press with almost everyone involved, how long can Arsenal last without losing the ball?

"That guy lied to me again!"

Wenger stood on the sidelines, but his heart was filled with complaints about Mourinho.

He made tactical adjustments and a tactical plan based on Mourinho's favorite game rhythm in the past.

But now Mourinho not only fails to defend, but also plays a very aggressive high-position press in Arsenal's half!

Although Wenger wanted to look confident and tell his disciples not to be afraid, just let Chelsea play like this and consume more physical energy of Chelsea players.

But in the past few seasons, the image of Real Madrid using this invincible tactical method to defeat several top European teams suddenly appeared in Wenger's mind.

Of course, the professor firmly believes that Chelsea still cannot reach the terrifying physical reserves of Real Madrid last season.

But before the start of this season, when Mourinho made initial changes to Chelsea, he must have done some physical improvement training.

What if this Chelsea team has been able to directly defeat its opponents in a certain game?

Mourinho never plays an uncertain game, so Wenger, who knows him well, does not dare to gamble easily.

When encountering emergencies within emergencies, Wenger will inevitably fall into his old habit of hesitating on the spot.

Arsenal's players on the field cannot wait for further tactical instructions from the coaching staff at this moment.

They can only look for opportunities to attack forward while controlling the ball as much as possible.

Fortunately, although Cavani's control of high-altitude balls is not as strong as Giroud's, his fulcrum role is still quite prominent.

At least it's much better than Podolski, who occasionally played center last season.

After Arsenal used Cavani as the frontcourt fulcrum to launch a long-pass counterattack, they were still able to find many threatening routes in Chelsea's half.

Ashley Cole has a lot of defensive experience, but once Walcott rushes up, the now-old Ashley Cole can only watch the young tiger galloping in his defense zone.

However, Chelsea's old captain Terry caused Cavani to suffer a lot.

Facing Walcott's two crosses that he finally counterattacked and pushed forward, Cavani was pinned down by Terry.

Not to mention the shot that threatened Chelsea's goal, Cavani didn't even grab one, and Chelsea only paid the price of a corner kick for Arsenal.

When Matic took the corner kick ahead of Mertesacker on the defensive end, Chelsea's quick counterattack started again!

Li Ang decisively passed the ball directly to Hazard in the middle this time.

Unfortunately, Arteta used an overhand movement to pull Hazard down to the turf.

"Blind Man" Oliver was not blind this time. He called Arteta's foul in time and showed him a topaz card.

Chelsea fans no longer have to worry about whether Oliver will give Chelsea players a yellow card because of his search for balance.

They all applauded Oliver's penalty.

After all, Arteta is extremely important to Arsenal, and his position is also very special.

If Arteta does not dare to make any major defensive moves later because he is carrying a yellow card.

With only Tulalan alone, Arsenal's midfield and backfield defenses could not stop Chelsea's rapid advancement.

Hazard, who has made great achievements, is becoming more and more eager to try on the offensive end.

Li Ang also assigned him more offensive ball rights, allowing him to continue to put pressure on Arteta and Arsenal's aging right back Sagna.

Not to mention that the counterattack was not very effective, and their core defensive midfielder also received a yellow card. Arsenal's players only felt that the game was getting more and more unsatisfactory.

It's completely because we still have some strength left, but we just feel frustrated that we can't use it.

Wenger didn't say anything off the court, but some Arsenal players on the court also started to fight with their opponents on the court.

After this group of Arsenal players also spared no effort to run and actively fight, Arsenal's organizational dilemma in the backcourt seemed to be slightly loosened.

Especially when they saw that their own side was making big moves and the referee Oliver didn't show much reaction, these Arsenal players immediately gained confidence!

In the 22nd minute of the first half, Li Ang was charged from the wing by Ramsey while dribbling the ball, causing him to lose control of the ball.

Originally, he thought Oliver would blow the whistle to pause the game.

As a result, this guy directly signaled that Ramsey had no problem and the game continued.

Of course, Leon stopped doing it. Since Oliver didn't call such an obvious foul, he would naturally use the same action standards as Ramsey to play the game!

As a result, he knocked down Cazorla who was trying to cut in on the defensive end. Oliver blew the whistle directly and gave him a stern warning.

"Sir! This is exactly the same as Ramsay's move when he knocked me down just now. I didn't do anything to hurt Cazorla. Isn't this a normal confrontation?"

Li Ang was dumbfounded and quickly spread his hands to explain his innocence.

It didn't take more than two minutes before and after this. Two almost identical fouls, but they could get completely different penalties?

Leon thought this was ridiculous, but Oliver also firmly signaled Leon to stop trying to defend himself.

And Lampard, who had long been accustomed to it, also directly took Li Ang away at this moment.

"He is looking to make up for the yellow card he showed Arteta before. Don't give him any chance to play. Do you understand? Leon, keep your calm!"

Lampard's words made Li Ang quickly clear his head.

Those dusty memories of watching football told him.

This way of whistleblowing is indeed in line with the fixed impression Oliver has left on all fans in the Premier League.

In order to ensure the smoothness of the game and to be as "fair" as possible, Oliver has always believed in a balanced game whistleblowing principle.

But the balance he believes in is not a truly fair punishment for both teams.

But after receiving severe punishment on one side, he always wanted to do something on the other side.

Typically, you don't care much about right or wrong, just hit 50 big boards on both sides.

The memories flooding his mind made Li Ang decisively choose to shut up.

At this time, it is the wisest choice not to get in trouble with Oliver.

Otherwise, if Oliver really takes out a yellow card later, then Leon really doesn’t know where to reason.

The obedient Leon didn't give Oliver the slightest chance to find out what was wrong with him.

However, even if he cannot use greater defensive actions like Ramsey, Li Ang, who defends normally, still makes Arsenal's counterattack in the middle very difficult.

In desperation, Arsenal could only frequently mobilize its two full-backs and full-backs to constantly attack Chelsea's defense on both wings.

By this time, all Chelsea players had slowly ended their previous crazy defensive pressure on Arsenal.

It is more difficult for Ashley Cole to stop Walcott's offensive advance from a high position.

But if you retreat to your own half, that's another story.

Ashley Cole's rich defensive experience and his better confrontation ability.

Walcott and Sagna are no longer able to break into Chelsea's defensive third and attack easily like they did before.

Of course, Ashley Cole is now at a disadvantage in terms of speed, and will occasionally be forced to break through by Walcott.

But this kind of accidental bottom attack cannot bring more threats to Chelsea's solid defense.

Arsenal's sharp offensive routine that exploited the opponent's rib space in the past was completely destroyed by Li Ang and Matic today.

Li Ang just finished the attack with his front foot, and his back foot was able to retreat in time to defend, which made all Arsenal fans hate him.

But there is no way. Before Li Ang's physical fitness is really exhausted, it is still too difficult for Arsenal to penetrate Chelsea's central defense.

But what I have to say is that Arsenal also did a very good job on the defensive end today.

After they lost the ball, they didn't give Chelsea many opportunities to break into their own penalty area and get a threatening shot.

Regarding the protection work at the front of the penalty area, Tulalang and Arteta have done a good job.

Ibrahimovic also played awkwardly when facing Mertesacker's marking today.

In this area of ​​defending tall centers, there should be no defender in the Premier League who can do a better job than Mertesacker at this stage.

Arsenal's defense performed very solidly in the first half and basically made no mistakes.

Even with Li Ang's long-range shot, Arsenal's defense shouldn't take the blame.

So it is clear that the defensive work should be done by the midfielder. If the midfielder fails to do a good job, can he rely on the defender?

Chelsea's attacking players tried several times to forcefully chew through Arsenal's defense but failed to do so.

But with the advantage of having the ball in hand, Chelsea's players were no longer in a hurry to continue attacking.

After the 30th minute of the first half, Mourinho waved his hand, signaling to his disciples that it was time to defend the ball honestly.

Chelsea's players made a prompt decision, unified their tactical thinking, and retreated across the center line as a group.

Arsenal finally had the opportunity to press forward and lay siege to Chelsea.

But looking at the dense defenders in Chelsea's half.

Arsenal's generals suddenly felt that it was not a wise choice to let Chelsea recycle the half-time bus.

But now the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, and Wenger also gave tactical instructions to increase the intensity of the attack.

Seeing this, Arsenal's offensive players could only bite the bullet and get stronger.

Li Ang remembered Oliver's stern warning to him before, so he always remembered to restrain his defensive actions slightly.

But he didn't expect that he had escaped a disaster.

Ashley Cole, who faced a lot of pressure from Walcott, unfortunately received a yellow card in the 37th minute of the first half!

Okay! Oliver finally took the opportunity to make amends with Chelsea for this yellow card!

Ashley Cole's defensive foul on Walcott was actually a penalty situation where a card could be played or a card could not be played.

Basically it depends on Oliver's whistleblowing scale.

If he really wanted to make this judgment, of course the Chelsea players had no say and could only accept it honestly.

But Mourinho, who was still unaware of his strange temper, was very angry and went directly to the fourth official to complain.

Who told Oliver to leave England long ago when he was calling games in the Premier League?

His anger was understandable, but the fourth official's advice to rein in his temper was also serious.

Seeing the fourth official's unfriendly eyes, Holland once again quickly dragged Mourinho back to the coaching bench.

After he gave a brief explanation, Mourinho looked at Oliver on the court suspiciously.

"No, why do the Football Association always like to find these weird people to be the referee? Isn't he more ridiculous than Atkinson?!"

Mourinho bluntly criticized the FA's referee selection and training work.

At this moment, Holander could only follow his temper and comfort him:

That’s so right, what you scolded is so right, brother!

Although I am a British person, I 100% support your mockery of the FA!

But we are still competing at the moment. I wiped your ass last time and got a red card. If you do it again this time, that brother will have to end up again.

Faced with Holland's patient consolation, Mourinho, who had calmed down a little, also sat back on the coaching bench.

Fortunately, at the last moment of the first half, neither the players of the two teams nor Oliver caused any trouble.

The game also entered the halftime break with Chelsea's small 1-0 lead.

As soon as they returned to the locker room, almost all the players from Chelsea and Arsenal immediately complained about the scale of Oliver's whistleblowing today.

The Arsenal players certainly thought that the yellow card Oliver showed to Arteta was too harsh.

And there was almost no trace of him blowing the home whistle.

The several severe penalties against Chelsea later in the first half were just trying to make up for the mistakes he had made against Arteta before.

For the Chelsea players, their complaint was naturally Oliver's habit of finding balance.

Li Ang rarely scolded the referee together with his teammates today.

However, after the complaints, there was more relaxed laughter in the dressing room of Chelsea's visiting team.

The tactics formulated by Mourinho in the first half were a joke to Arsenal.

Today's unexpected early lead made Chelsea's players feel confident!

Mourinho happily let the players rest first, but in the last five minutes, he roughly emphasized the players' personal tactical responsibilities.

There are also several aspects that players should pay attention to in the second half of Arsenal's tactical changes.

What tactics will Chelsea use in the second half and how should they adjust?

Mourinho had already made full preparations for these things before the game, and Chelsea players had also practiced them.

Those grueling three days of intense special training were not just playing house.

The game is going smoothly at present. All Chelsea have to do is to follow the steps and produce the tactical effects they have already achieved in training.

Besides, if something unexpected happens in the game later, Mourinho will definitely make tactical adjustments in time.

All Chelsea players have considerable trust in their manager's on-the-field adaptability.

And with this trust, all Chelsea players howled out of the locker room after another cheer, and trotted out of the tunnel to return to the field!

Before the start of the second half, Chelsea did not make any substitution adjustments.

Arsenal was the first to change their formation, changing from 4231 to 442.

Ramsey went off and was replaced by tall center Giroud!

"Professor is very decisive today. Captain and the others will have a heavier defensive burden!"

Li Ang looked at Giroud who was communicating with Cavani, touched his chin, and was surprised by the professor's decisive substitution today.

After the game restarted in the second half, Arsenal indeed further strengthened its attack.

This time it's not just Arteta who presses the organization forward, but Tularan also presses to the midline position!

Arsenal's large investment allowed them to quickly open up the situation on the offensive end.

After all, Giroud, a center with stronger fulcrum ability and better ability to compete for the top, is in the penalty area.

The arduous offensive pressure Cavani had to bear was suddenly relieved a lot.

Relieving Cavani's burden will naturally increase the sharpness of Arsenal's offensive spearhead.

Cavani, who is no longer closely guarded by Terry, has a wide range of activities.

His movement support in the center and wide areas made Arsenal's offensive scene smoother.

With two centers who can hold the ball and cover the ball, Arsenal's other offensive players can also play more easily.

However, with their ease at this moment, the defensive pressure on Arsenal's backcourt players has suddenly increased!

After all, Arteta and Tularan are in early positions to support the offense, so the offense will certainly improve.

But now Arsenal must rely on Koscielny, who is in the same prerequisite position, as the first interception point.

This defensive situation is very dangerous. After all, if Koscielny is passed, Arsenal will only have Mertesacker, who is behind, guarding the center.

His frontal interception ability is very strong, but if Chelsea's offensive players go around the flanks and advance forward, the German central defender will be helpless.

Counting on Gibbs and Sagna?

The two full-backs are now pressed into Chelsea's half and used as wingers. It would be good if they can return to defense in time. Do you expect them to shine on the defensive end?

That would be pure dreaming.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

I also want to increase the numerical advantage on the offensive end, reap the offensive dividends, and also want to consolidate the defense. How can such a good thing come from?

Unless Arsenal's midfielder is replaced by last year's Xabi Alonso and Galeao, and paired with Essien or Vieira in their prime, that's about the same.

Wenger certainly knows the biggest drawback of this tactic at this moment.

But he doesn’t want to be led by Mourinho!

If it continues to drag on, Arsenal will only face Chelsea's increasingly larger half and increasingly stronger defense.

He could only seize the opportunity at the beginning of the second half and forcefully open Chelsea's defense to find opportunities.

At least the chemistry between Cavani and Giroud now gives Wenger a lot of hope of equalizing the score.

Mourinho quickly made his tactical decision after looking at the current situation and thinking for a moment.

Wenger dares to take risks, but there is no reason for him not to take risks!

Don't stick to the defense, don't set up a big team, seize the opportunity of Arsenal's midfielder to get in behind their midfield defense, Chelsea must counterattack more!

Li Ang was also gearing up after seeing Mourinho's tactical instructions.

At this moment, he, Matic and Lampard almost formed a back three, blocking Arsenal's offensive direction in the middle of their own half.

Arsenal still mostly only plays on both sides.

Thanks to Walcott's tireless offensive attempts, Ashley Cole, who received a yellow card in the first half, also became a breakthrough in Chelsea's defense.

Upon seeing this, Li Ang also signaled Matic to help Ashley Cole and help him relieve the defensive pressure.

But this is not a long-term solution. Chelsea's counterattack was even temporarily put down due to the imbalance of defense on this side.

However, in the 60th minute of the second half, when Mourinho replaced Ashley Cole with Bertrand who had finished warming up, the defensive problems that plagued Chelsea suddenly ceased to exist.

Bertrand is in his prime, his speed is not slow, and his confrontation ability is much better than Walcott's.

Walcott, who had already consumed a lot of physical energy before, was not as able to rush as before.

Therefore, under Bertrand's close surveillance, Walcott's side gradually turned off.

As soon as Arsenal's offensive came to a halt, Chelsea, who had taken a breath, would seize the opportunity to launch a quick counterattack!

When Li Ang was defending before, he had been observing the accustomed positions of Arsenal's midfielders and backfield players in the center and on the wings.

So when David Luiz stepped in to intercept and handed the ball from Cavani's feet to his feet.

He didn't even take a few more steps forward. After a slight adjustment, he took off and sent a fast long pass!

This time, instead of passing the ball to Hazard, he directly looked for De Bruyne, who was already speeding forward on the right!

Because Gibbs is more active on the offensive end than Sagna at the moment, and his forward pressure is also greater than Sagna!

Li Ang believes that De Bruyne can observe this counterattack opportunity.

Hazard may not have thought of this excellent counterattack route, and Ibrahimovic may not have thought of it either, but Li Ang is extremely confident that De Bruyne can have an idea that matches his!

Sure enough, the moment Li Ang got the ball and sent a long pass, De Bruyne stepped forward decisively, leaving Gibbs and Turala behind him early!

Li Ang's fast and long pass is quite similar to that of Brother Long. The ball speed is fast enough and the landing point is relatively accurate.

More importantly, the ball did not roll forward immediately after landing, but bounced almost vertically on the turf!

This not only helps De Bruyne catch up with the ball and continue to advance with the ball calmly, but also makes Arsenal's defense players afraid to attack easily.

If it is a forward rolling ball, the faster Koscielny would have enough reason and confidence to destroy the ball out of the sideline before De Bruyne gets the ball.

It's a pity that Li Ang didn't give him such a chance at all.

After De Bruyne smoothly took the ball and continued to advance, he caught a glimpse of Ibrahimovic and Hazard's tendency to advance, and suddenly he kicked off and sent a wide arcing pass that was close to the ground!

The football quickly flew past Koscielny and Ibrahimovic at the front of the penalty area, and at the back, Hazard, who had used his speed advantage to pass Mertesacker's defense, turned sideways and faced him directly. Come on ball!

Hazard didn't even exert much force. He just straightened the arch of his foot and then gave a slight push to change the direction of the football.

The fast football then changed direction and flew towards Arsenal's goal.

Szczesny held his breath in his heart. This time he made a defensive prediction in advance. At the moment when Hazard completed the push, he directly pushed on the ground and lowered his body to complete the save!

This time he made no mistakes, mainly because the clever shot Hazard chose this time was not too powerful, allowing him to save the ball luckily!

Just when he saw the football flying outside the penalty area, Szczesny, who clearly saw Lampard's face, felt his heart tremble!

Fortunately, Tulalang, who returned to defense in time this time, did not give Lampard the opportunity to kick off immediately.

The defensive positioning of the French midfielder is still very good.

But Lampard quickly changed his decision to shoot when he saw Tulalang approaching him.

The pace was deliberately adjusted a beat slower, and Lampard's right foot ultimately failed to reach the football.

But his left foot knocked the ball horizontally, directly hitting the empty area on the right side of Arsenal's penalty area!

And this time the person who completed the pass relay with Lampard happened to be Li Ang, who was running in and out of position with him!

Li Ang stopped the ball once and twice, and was about to shoot again from almost the same position as in the first half.

Koscielny, who completely let go of Ibrahimovic, attacked fiercely and went down to the ground to shovel!

But Li Ang moved more quickly and changed his shot into a dunk!

His ankle dropped quickly, and he dunked past Koscielny with the ball!

When he led the ball to the top of the arc in the middle of Arsenal's penalty area, it also went in front of his left foot.

Li Ang quickly swung his left calf and completed a powerful shot from outside the penalty area!

The football once again roared from Li Ang's feet to Arsenal's goal.

And Szczesny, who had quickly stood up after completing the save, roared in his heart and rushed towards the near corner of the goal again!

He would never allow Li Ang to tease and penetrate his goal for the second time at the Emirates Stadium!

But Li Ang deceived him with his eyes and his previous shooting action.

This time he did not kick the ball to the two corners of the goal, but directly to the center of Arsenal's goal!

If you are prepared early and guess the direction of the opponent's shot, then such a shot is the goalkeeper's favorite way of shooting.

Because the ball hitting the center is indeed easier to save!

But when Szczesny confidently pounced on the near corner of the goal in advance, the decision he made was a fatal mistake!

Li Ang's shot was a little too powerful. After all, it was a left-foot shot that he was not used to.

If you pass the ball with your left foot, there won't be this problem, but when it comes to shooting, there is still some gap between Li Ang's left foot and his right foot.

So the football ended up bouncing under the crossbar.

But the football did not pop directly out of the goal line as all Arsenal fans expected.

Instead, it rubbed against the lower part of the crossbar, and finally plunged into the goal line!

In the 73rd minute of the second half, Li Ang scored twice with a long-range shot, successfully helping Chelsea expand their lead to two goals!

As soon as this goal was scored, Arsenal suffered another heavy blow, and the morale of the players on the field inevitably plummeted!

After all, the game has reached this point in time. Not only did our side not equalize the score, we also conceded another goal!

Even 20 minutes of the remaining game time may be enough. If you want to score two goals in a row, it is still easier said than done with Chelsea's stubborn defense!

Looking at such an unfavorable situation, Wenger could only continue to pile up offensive players.

Wilshere and Podolski both played.

Walcott and Arteta were replaced, and Arsenal had to make a desperate last-minute attack!

However, Mourinho's substitution adjustments also came in a timely manner.

Hazard and Lampard were replaced. Enter Essien and Karas!

It was the familiar 541 formation again. Chelsea's tactical choice of holding on to the half court at the last moment did not exceed the expectations of neutral fans.

Li Ang's abnormal physical advantage can often play a huge role in moments like this.

His sweeps and interceptions made Arsenal's offensive players anxious.

Faced with the unreasonable confrontational actions of the Arsenal players above him, Li Ang just fell down when he should, without any psychological burden at all.

This is within the scope of reasonable use of the rules. Not only Li Ang, but other Chelsea players are also trying their best to delay as much time as possible.

In addition to frequently playing high balls from both wings, allowing Giroud, Per Mertesacker and Cavani to compete for points, Arsenal had no better offensive tactics.

However, high-altitude defense also happens to be Chelsea's strength.

So in the fierce confrontation again and again, the game gradually came to an end.

When Oliver finally blew the whistle to end the game, Liang and his teammates collapsed on the turf regardless of their appearance.

But their mood is very happy!

After Mourinho celebrated with a small fist pump, he took the initiative to walk towards Wenger.
