The Emirates Stadium was bustling with excitement as a highly anticipated clash was about to take place – Arsenal vs. Chelsea!
With the referee's whistle, the match officially began, and the atmosphere at the scene was instantly ignited.
The audience was enthusiastic, with cheers and shouts echoing through the sky.
This match is not only a duel between the two teams, but also the beginning of a new round of derby battles.
Every player is well aware of the importance of this game, and they will give it their all to fight for honor.
This is also a crucial battle in the 22nd round of the Premier League, with both sides eager to climb further up the standings.
Firmino had already proven that Arsenal's goalkeeper Rey was not a god; he had weaknesses and could be scored on. Therefore, Chelsea's attackers were united in their determination to defeat their opponents in this match.
Chelsea manager Tuchel came to this match with a clear objective: with so many excellent players at his disposal, he did not believe he could not defeat Arsenal.
He had been preparing meticulously for this match for a long time, and before that, Arsenal's key player Ramsey was unable to play due to injury, which undoubtedly gave them an excellent opportunity.
If they can successfully defeat the powerful Arsenal team, they will not only move up the league table, but as the "Blues," they will also become the focus of media attention.
After all, Arsenal's remarkable winning streak is a testament to their talent, and any team that manages to defeat them will undoubtedly generate a huge amount of discussion.
The Premier League is not just a pure sporting competition; it also involves some commercial factors. Every team craves greater recognition and attention, and Tuchel is no exception.
After the match started, Chelsea firmly controlled the game. In the first ten minutes, they had already taken several high-quality long-range shots, which came from Alonso, Hazard and Bakayoko respectively.
Fortunately, although the long-range shots were of high quality, they were all saved by Arsenal goalkeeper Reming.
This time, instead of kicking the ball long, he passed it short to Xhaka, who was not far away.
Chelsea's Kante is quite annoying; almost all of his long balls were thwarted by this seemingly unassuming black lad. As a result, Lei Ming had to change the team's attacking tactics from the backfield.
Before the match, head coach Wenger had clearly reminded everyone to pay attention to this guy named Kante.
After all, there's a saying in the Premier League these days: "There's no hurdle that can't be overcome, but there's one that can't be overcome by Kanté." This speaks volumes about his ability.
The key to Arsenal's success in this match will be finding a way to pull their opponents out of position, but before that, they need to stabilize the situation.
As Arsenal's former crown prince Jack Wilshere has grown older, his mindset has changed a lot.
He always wanted to be the core of the team and its savior, but he almost always had to leave the stage due to injuries. Fortunately, the team never gave up on him.
Now that his mindset has changed, he has gradually accepted reality and is willing to become a substitute.
But he has always been waiting for an opportunity.
This was Ramsey's second game without playing time, and Wilshere knew very well that if he wanted to get more playing time, he had to seize the opportunity.
Therefore, he was very active after the start of the match, hoping to change the course of the game through his own efforts.
In the 17th minute of the match, a dramatic scene unfolded. During an Arsenal attack, Fabregas made a reckless tackle on Wilshere, who was carrying the ball. Faced with this unexpected turn of events and the suspension of play, the Arsenal goalkeeper immediately rushed out of the goal and onto the field, confronting the referee with a heated argument.
Lei Ming's action brought smiles of appreciation to the faces of many fans who knew him, because they all knew the saying, "When Lei Ming comes out, there is always a response."
The referee originally intended to give Fabregas a verbal warning, but unexpectedly, after hearing the Arsenal captain's reasoned argument, he pulled a yellow card out of the defender's pocket and showed it to Fabregas.
Fabregas, one yellow card warning!
Faced with this ruling, Fabregas did not protest, but simply went back to continue his defensive work with obvious displeasure.
He hates Arsenal's new captain, hates his youth, hates his eloquence, and hates his ability even more!
Every time he sees the other person, he can't help but recall the days when he wore a red and white jersey and led his teammates across Highbury Stadium.
Looking back now, I realize he was really too impulsive.
What if you go to a big club? What if you win a championship for them? In the end, you still can't avoid being pushed out to make money!
At the Emirates Stadium, all the fans stood up joyfully when they saw the ruling, expressing their happiness in their own way.
"Yes, that's how we'll do it! We absolutely can't let the traitors get too arrogant!"
"Ray is simply a natural-born captain, isn't he a negotiation expert?!"
"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter! Lei is absolutely amazing, I love him so much!"
Aubameyang, holding his childhood sweetheart, listened with amazement to the chatter of the surrounding fans, finding it quite amusing.
Watching the game, he became more and more certain that coming here was the right decision.
Lei's proactive move further revealed the opponent's domineering nature to him.
However, his girlfriend Alysha, watching Arsenal being constantly pressured in the match, asked him with some concern, "Emerick, are you really sure you want to come here? Arsenal's squad doesn't look very strong!"
Arsenal had very limited attacking opportunities throughout the 20 minutes, and were almost constantly under pressure from Chelsea. It's hard to imagine that such a team could be the top team in the Premier League; at least, she found it very unbelievable.
Alysha also began to worry about Aubameyang's choices.
However, Aubameyang patted the back of Alysha's hand and laughed, "Don't worry, Alysha, you won't be wrong. This is just a tactical contest between teams. You'll soon see why Arsenal is the Premier League champion!"
In the blink of an eye, Wilshere, the glass man, thankfully did not suffer a serious injury. He got back up and stood at the penalty spot for the free kick.
Taking a deep breath, he looked at the position of Chelsea goalkeeper Courtois not far away and unleashed a powerful free kick with a beautiful curve.
