Chapter 327: Big win over Arsenal!! (2)

For a while, Arsenal fell into a vicious circle of having the upper hand but not being able to score.

This is not only because Chelsea's defensive ability is very strong. The zone defense greatly restricted Arsenal's attack, but also because when they were two goals behind, the Arsenal players became impatient, which made the attack somewhat disorganized.

At this time, the disadvantage of too many young players was reflected. When Arsenal was playing in a favorable situation, they could often exert 120% of their strength. For example, at the beginning of the game, Arsenal had the advantage, so the score was immediately changed. But now, falling behind by two goals has made these young players mentally unstable. Although they still cooperated well, they always lacked the ability to make the finishing touch.

This situation seemed to be spreading. Even the mature Henry and veteran Bergkamp missed a goal respectively. This made Arsenal's attack more impatient. Although the momentum was still fierce, when Chelsea withstood the offensive frenzy for a period of time, the balance of victory began to slowly tilt.

Seeing this situation, Arsenal head coach Wenger walked back and forth anxiously on the sidelines, but he had no good solution.

Arsenal's tight financial situation has forced the team to buy these young players to increase the depth of the bench. Although the team's performance was very good in the past, it was only because of Manchester United's decline that Arsenal stood out in the Premier League. But this season, a strong Chelsea emerged, and this problem was directly revealed in the confrontation between the two teams.

Even though we still cannot see Chelsea's specific tactical arrangements now, Wenger's tactical approach is undoubtedly correct, and the score and situation on the field also highlight the unbalanced strength comparison between the two teams.

Although Wenger refused to admit it, after watching the entire game, he already knew in his heart that the Premier League is no longer Arsenal's world, and Chelsea is now stronger than Arsenal.

The first effort is strong, the second becomes weaker, and the third is exhausted.

The battlefield is like this, and the football field is the same

.

After Arsenal continued to attack for 10 minutes, the coordination between the players on the field finally began to fail frequently - in the 59th minute, young player Fabregas dribbled the ball from the middle and made a two-pass combination with Pires on the wing, but Pires stopped the ball too far and was directly intercepted by Damien Duff.

In the 61st minute, Arsenal got a free kick in a good position in the frontcourt. It was still the young player Fabregas who stood in front of the ball. He shot the ball directly at the Chelsea wall.

Just three minutes later, Chelsea's attack was intercepted, but Flamini was counter-robbed. Lampard grabbed the ball and passed it to Wang Li.

Taking advantage of Arsenal's inadequate defense, Wang Li took the ball and made a long run at Highbury Stadium, shaking off three players including Ashley Cole and Campbell. Finally, he was grabbed by the jersey by the opponent's defender in the penalty area, and the free kick missed, which prevented the score from being changed.

As the situation intensified, Chelsea's counterattacks became more frequent and the crisis of Arsenal's goal became more and more serious.

Although mistakes are inevitable in competitive games, Arsenal's frequent mistakes also reflect the impatience of the players on the field. For a professional player, the mentality of the game is very important. This is also an important reason why many small clubs like to introduce veterans. These veterans can not only bring rich game experience to young players, but also enable them to keep a stable mentality in major competitions and play to their 100% strength.

It is easier said than done, which is one of the reasons why visiting teams are easily in a passive position in away environments.

So, in the 63rd minute of the game, Chelsea won another very good chance.

This time it was forward Reyes. This emerging Spanish talent made a huge mistake near the midline. After stopping the ball, he was closely guarded by William Gallas and anxiously passed the ball to Wang Li! !

"Beautiful~~~prefact!!~~~"

Seeing this scene, the Blues fans in the audience laughed in unison. They hoped that Arsenal would make more and more mistakes. For Chelsea fans, this was not an ordinary Premier League game, but a competition between the strongest teams in London. In the past few decades or even a hundred years, they have been at a disadvantage in this competition. Now they finally have the opportunity to be proud of themselves, and they will not hold back.

The commentator of the court TV station of the ancient oriental country also said: "Arsenal's attack was blocked. The performance of these young players seemed to be a little poor. Reyes's mistake was too big this time. This may be because he was too eager to score. In this way, Chelsea has more chances to score. Although Chelsea is leading by two goals now and has almost won the game, if they can score another goal, then Arsenal will have almost no chance."

At this time on the court, Wang Li was also stunned when he received the pass. He was just thinking whether he should go forward to find an opportunity to steal the ball, but the ball rolled towards him. It was so comfortable to receive the ball. Of course, Wang Li would not show mercy because of this. Not to mention the conflict between him and Arsenal, in a football game, as a striker, if he can score one more goal, he must score one more goal.

So, after receiving the pass, Wang Li started running wildly with the ball and headed straight towards the heart of Arsenal.

Although Arjen Robben and Damien Duff are still behind him, and Lampard is responsible for defense near the penalty area line and it is impossible for them to run to the frontcourt to support in a short time, Wang Li does not care about these. Even if he does not implement Mourinho's "zone attack tactics", he can still score goals.

In previous games, Chelsea always managed to score several goals against their opponents. Wasn't there any 'zone attack tactics'?

In fact, although this "zone defense tactic" is really good, it maximizes the ability of "Lingbo Weibu" and allows this ability to be integrated into the team's tactical system, constantly creating opportunities for Chelsea's offense, but it also limits Wang Li's personal offensive ability. The offense here refers to dribbling and passing abilities.

.

The reason why Chelsea could still score so many goals in the past was because Wang Li's dribbling and passing abilities were so strong. It could even be said that as long as Wang Li played at his best, he could overturn the entire half-court defense of a small club, which allowed Chelsea to keep advancing.

And this time, at Arsenal's Highbury, Wang Li once again demonstrated this extraordinary ability.

Facing Flamini's defense, Wang Li simply dribbled the ball forward with his right foot, then took light steps to get rid of Arsenal's new talent. Waiting in front were Toure and Ashley Cole.

Faced with the defense of two powerful defenders, he did not choose to pass the ball. Instead, under the gaze of all the fans at Highbury, he dribbled the ball quickly while doing fancy bicycle riding.

One, two, three, ... both feet moved back and forth on the ball at extreme speed, making it impossible to even see where the ball was. This scene was captured by many media outlets. Cycling at this speed is definitely the best in the world and is almost impossible to surpass.

Toure and Ashley Cole, who were in charge of defense, were very experienced. When Wang Li was rushing towards them, they were already prepared to defend closely to slow down his speed. Yes, they did not even think about rushing to steal the ball. After so many games and watching so many videos, especially Ashley Cole, he knew very well that he could not steal the ball from Wang Li at all. If he rushed forward rashly, Wang Li would only get rid of him easily, just like Flamini who was following behind.

In front of this acrobatic bicycle-pedaling style, Toure finally couldn't bear it anymore. For him, this was almost a naked humiliation! !

So, in the dazzling eyes, Toure fell directly to the ground and made a fierce tackle. It was obvious that the 23-year-old Ivorian man didn't care whether it was a person or a ball that was tackled. Although there was the example of Van Nistelrooy's tackle at Manchester United, it was difficult for players who had not really experienced Wang Li's two legs to imagine that feeling. They would rather think that it was the Dutchman's own mistake.

Fortunately, Wang Li had no intention of revenge during the fast break. In fact, there was no dissatisfaction at all for Chelsea and himself in this game, and the Arsenal players did not do anything big. Wang Li was not a thug.

Under the gaze of all the fans in the stadium, he put his right toe behind the ball and dodged Toure's tackle with light steps. At this time, Ashley Cole who was behind Toure got his chance.

When Wang Li touched the ball with his toes, the football suddenly jumped forward under the force, and in front of him was Ashley Cole. After reacting, Cole stepped forward with his left foot to clear the ball, but he still underestimated Wang Li's speed.

Although the ball was moving very fast, Wang Li actually managed to control the force. After catching up with the ball, he immediately turned around and leaned his back against Cole, as if he was planning to protect the ball in this way. But at this time Cole's right foot had already swung out. Of course, he did not intend to kick Wang Li, but he had to kick out out of habit, and it was difficult to stop it.

However, in a flash, Wang Li turned around and pulled the ball back, then turned around again and dodged Cole. The latter's lob hit nothing. Fortunately, Cole saw that he could not kick the ball and retracted his force, so he was not injured. However, this force also made his body unstable, and he fell directly onto the grass.

"Beautiful!! Wang Li is charging forward!! He dribbled past three defenders in a row!" Seeing the wonderful moments, the 'Premier League Blind' commentator of the Imperial TV Station also became excited.

At this time, Wang Li was facing Arsenal's last defensive player - Laurent Etam.

In 2000, Laurent Etamé transferred from Mallorca to Arsenal for 7.2 million euros. He is 27 years old this year and can be said to be a strong defender. In fact, in the past four and a half seasons, he has played 128 times for Arsenal and scored 6 goals. He can be said to be a strong defender. His rich backcourt experience can bring great help to Arsenal's young players.

.

This time, he seemed calm and composed in the face of Wang Li's attack. He ran in the direction of Wang Li's ball very skillfully while sticking close to him with his body.

This approach is the best way to deal with offensive players with fast dribbling speed. In this way, the player with the ball cannot simply use his speed to shake off the defense, and he must always worry about the ball being intercepted. At the same time, no matter how sophisticated his footwork is, it will become somewhat weak in the face of close defense.

Wang Li was somewhat helpless about Lauren's approach. Although he dribbled the ball very fast, there was still a certain gap compared to running without the ball.

At this time, he was about to cross the penalty area line. Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia had already crossed the goal. If he dribbled the ball with a long foot, Almunia would definitely get the ball easily.

In this situation, an average technical forward would certainly appear a little hasty, but Wang Li is different. He not only possesses unparalleled skills, but also has an absolute physical advantage - you can't expect an ordinary person to be able to knock down a martial arts master, even if this ordinary person is very strong.

At this moment, Lauren felt the pressure from the side.

In a hurry, Wang Li used his internal force and his body swayed left and right naturally while running, which made Lauren almost fall to the ground. The nervous Arsenal fans kept shouting "foul, foul". Unfortunately, this action was only considered a reasonable collision in the Premier League. The referee ignored the shouting of Arsenal fans.

At this time, Almunia was the only one left in front of Wang Li. After dribbling the ball into the goal, he changed direction lightly and dodged Almunia's save. Facing the empty goal, he shot the ball easily without hesitation, which made the hearts of Arsenal fans fall to the bottom of the abyss.

"The ball goes in! The ball goes in!!"

"It's Wang Li again. He scored a hat trick in the game. Arsenal are already defeated, 1:4. It's an impossible task to catch up with three goals in a row in the next period of time!"

"It's really hard to describe my feelings at the moment. I think most of the fans watching on TV will also be very excited. Wang Li, the overseas Chinese in England, just performed a long-distance raid at Highbury Stadium. He passed four defenders in the midfield, changed direction and shook off the goalkeeper, and pushed the ball into the empty net to score the fourth goal for Chelsea. This goal directly determined the result of the game."

"This attack was so beautiful, he is Chelsea's hero!!"

While the commentator on the TV station was still chattering away, the Blues fans in the stands were already going wild. Even though they had rich imaginations and were very confident in Chelsea, looking at the score of 1:4 displayed in bright red on the scoreboard on the field, they still felt like they were in a dream. You know, the opponent was Arsenal, not Fulham, Middlesbrough, Crystal Palace... Arsenal!!!

Arsenal has won the English Premier League championship 13 times, the FA Cup championship 10 times, the League Cup championship twice, the European Cup Winners' Cup championship once, the UEFA Cup championship once, and so on. As a Premier League giant, Arsenal has countless honors.

However, this team, the champion of the Premier League last season, has now been scored 4 goals by Chelsea in its own stadium!!!

How can this not make the Blues fans excited?

!!!

"Alan!! Alan!! Alan!!"

"Chelsea!! Chelsea!! Chelsea!!"

"One more goal!! Let them know the difference!!"

...Crazy Blues fans shouted all kinds of slogans to express their excitement. In the cold December, many fans even took off their coats and waved them in their hands to cheer for the team.

In contrast to the Blues fans, the attitude of the Arsenal fans was that they were all looking at the black-haired boy celebrating the goal on the field, feeling very sad. If it weren’t for... At this time, after seeing Chelsea score another goal, many Arsenal fans left the field early. They didn’t want to see their favorite team being abused in front of their own goal. This would definitely be a serious mental injury to them.

………On the pitch, the player in the most depressed mood was Wenger. The French veteran coach, Arsenal's iconic head coach, really had no good solution to the situation on the pitch. Chelsea scored four goals in front of their own goal, which not only made Arsenal lose the game, but also made him feel humiliated.

However, despite this, Wenger did not get angry and remained calm. It was obvious that this game was impossible to win, so Wenger immediately replaced the players on the field with several substitutes, allowing these young players who had never experienced a big game to gain some big game experience, and the rest of the time became a training session.

Seeing the opponent's surrender, Mourinho, who was in a good mood, waved his hand and Wayne Bridge and Joe Cole both came on the court to replace captain John Terry and Wang Li respectively.

As a result, the rest of the game turned into garbage time, and more Arsenal fans left the stands.

Wang Li, who had just scored a goal and was substituted off, won applause from more than 10,000 Chelsea fans. Amid the applause, he and Joe Cole, who replaced him, hugged each other, then took a few sips from the water bottle thrown by his teammates, walked to the bench, put on his coat, and waited for the game to end.

In fact, the game had only been going on for the 65th minute, with more than 20 minutes left, but the score difference of 3 goals had already made the rest of the game meaningless.

The Arsenal players on the field had no motivation to continue playing. They just looked forward to the game ending quickly. For them, continuing the game on the field was definitely a torture.

1:4, this score is really despairing.

The Frenchman on the Arsenal coaching bench is already thinking about post-match matters. Just dealing with the media is a very troublesome thing.

In the 75th minute, Fabregas made a precise pass outside the penalty area to create a good chance for Henry, who turned and shot the ball to help Arsenal score a goal. This goal made Mourinho a little worried. He even wondered if it was a mistake to replace Wang Li so early! ?

However, just 5 minutes later, the Portuguese calmed down again. Joe Cole, who had just come on the field, made a cold shot from outside the penalty area, which added icing on the cake for Chelsea and also set the score at 2:5.

Finally, amid the cheers of the Blues fans, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

At this time, Arsenal coach Wenger had a gloomy face and ignored Mourinho's outstretched hand, and walked directly towards the player tunnel - what bothered him most now was how to minimize the impact of this game.
