Chapter 410 Coward

Seeing Joe Cole's follow-up shot, Mourinho, who was still nervous in the Chelsea coaching bench, stood up directly from his seat. "Oh, God, that's great," he shouted to the assistant coach Clark next to him. He was under too much pressure just now.

And now, the team scored a goal and his comprehensive offensive tactics were successful.

Arsenal head coach Wenger couldn't help but stand up from his seat. He slowly walked to the sidelines, staring at the Chelsea players who were celebrating, and then he let out a long sigh.

Arsenal's defense was indeed torn apart by Chelsea's sudden and fierce attack. Wenger knew very well that the cunning Portuguese was determined to fight against Arsenal. Although the two had not played against each other many times this season, it did not prevent Wenger from knowing Mourinho very well.

Under normal circumstances, Chelsea's massive attack would never happen. This can only be understood as Mourinho seeing the crisis in the team's defense.

Wenger's heart sank even more at this. Chelsea's offensive ability is unquestionable, and Arsenal is not good at defensive counterattacks. Judging from the current situation, if they want to win, they can only let the team attack and use offense to fight for the final winner.

As for the goal just now?

Wenger was not too worried. In this offensive battle between two teams, one goal really did not mean anything. What he feared most was that the Portuguese saw the lead and let the team retreat to the backcourt again. That would be really difficult to play against.

The Frenchman's worries did not come true. Mourinho did not adjust the tactics, but just firmly let the team continue to attack.

Thus, a real goal-scoring battle began.

In Chelsea's attack, Wang Li, as the core of the offense, guided the team's quick transmission in the midfield and frontcourt, and ran around freely, pulling space to find opportunities.

In this situation, other forwards and midfielders, such as Joe Cole, Arjen Robben, Gudjohnsen and others, also performed extremely stably under his leadership. They all bravely moved forward, trying desperately to tear through Arsenal's defense and score goals.

Arsenal did not dare to show weakness. With the nod of head coach Wenger, they played the fast style of play that is unique to Arsenal's offense. Under Chelsea's overwhelming attack, Arsenal's counterattack was also extremely sharp. Although each counterattack did not last long, it was enough for them to pose a threat to Chelsea's goal.

The collision between Chelsea's steady attack and Arsenal's speed made all the fans extremely excited. Wonderful scenes of cooperation were frequently staged on the field, bringing unparalleled visual enjoyment to the fans.

Less than three minutes after the game resumed, Arsenal, who had been under fierce attack from Chelsea, got a chance to counterattack. Vieira intercepted Joe Cole's pass on the wing.

After Pires got the ball, he immediately rushed forward madly. His indomitable momentum made the Arsenal fans in the stands cheer him on.

On both sides of him, Fabregas and Henry were both running to provide support. When Paulo Ferreira came over, Pires passed the ball in the direction that was exactly in front of Lampard and William Gallas. But at this time, Henry, like a ghost, actually passed through the two of them.

"He has incredible speed and explosiveness. When he runs, he is more like a tank. What's more unique is that Henry also has dazzling ball control skills. He is the best striker." This was Wenger's evaluation of Henry in 2003.

This time, Henry showed his unparalleled speed. In the face of absolute speed, any experience and awareness are useless. Lampard started a little slowly just now, and Gallas didn't react in time, so the two were easily left behind by Henry. Even after Henry received the ball, the distance between them was still not shortened.

At this time, there was no one in front of Henry. He was very confident in his speed. He used all his strength to rush towards the Chelsea penalty area, preparing to use a one-on-one shot to equalize the score for Arsenal.

At this moment, all Arsenal fans were silent. They didn't want their voices to affect Henry on the field, and they were waiting for the moment when their 'Henry the Great' scored a goal to burst into the loudest cheers.

But at this time, John Terry had come back from the right side and stopped Henry's continued attack on the penalty area line. The latter wanted to change direction while dribbling the ball quickly, but Terry was not so easy. Henry's idea did not succeed, so at the critical moment, he looked up at the goal, stepped over the ball with his left foot, followed up with his right foot and chose to shoot directly.

It was a mid-range shot, but it came too suddenly. Thomas simply reacted by swinging his right hand in the air, and the football hit his arm, changed direction and still flew towards the goal.

Adams' words got stuck on Sky TV

The football hit the goal frame and bounced out of bounds, and there was a sigh of regret from the Arsenal fans in the stands.

Afterwards, Pires' cross from the corner flag was headed out of the penalty area by Terry. As the two teams scrambled for the ball, an Arsenal player cleared it out of the sideline, bringing the attack to an end.

However, Arsenal soon found another opportunity.

After two or three passes, the ball was at Pires' feet again. At this time, Pires wanted to cut inside while Joe Cole was still unstable. This was one of his specialties. Unfortunately, Lampard ran over and bumped into Pires who was cutting inside, and snatched the ball away with one foot.

After Lampard intercepted the ball, he passed it to Wang Li in the frontcourt. Since the start of the second half, Wang Li did not participate in the defense at all. He had been waiting for an opportunity in the frontcourt.

After receiving the pass from Lampard, he started dribbling without any hesitation.

This was a counter-attack, so Arsenal's defense was a little slow. After Wang Li passed Vieira, there were few people left in the Arsenal backcourt. However, most of these defensive players were concentrated near the penalty area line. Wang Li did not continue to lead the team. He chose to pass the ball to Arkin Robben who was running quickly from the wing.

This time, Robben did not cross the ball again, but made a one-two with William Gallas. Facing Lauren, he did not hesitate to cut inside, just like Pires.

It started the same way, but ended differently. There was no second Arsenal defender next to Robben, so he left Lauren behind as soon as he changed direction. After reaching the penalty area line, Robben was intercepted. At this time, a smile flashed across his lips, and he put his right foot a little behind the ball. The football passed Campbell's side and went directly to Wang Li's feet.

The ball was passed so skillfully and quickly that Wang Li, who had a very precise control of his surroundings, almost didn't react. However, after receiving the ball, he was immediately surprised. Robben's ball allowed him to face goalkeeper Lehmann directly.

This ball is so comfortable to kick.

Wang Li did not let Robben's pass go to waste. He did not use any fancy shooting moves. Instead, he simply pushed the ball forward, used his internal strength to catch up with the ball on the court almost in an instant, and then swung his right foot and kicked the ball directly towards the goal.

The football whizzed towards Lehmann like a cannonball. Lehmann was so scared that he dodged the ball. Even so, he still felt a gust of wind blowing past him, which made him really scared.

"Is this black-haired boy trying to kill me?" At this moment, Lehman even had this thought.

“4:2, Chelsea extended their lead”

In an instant, the fans in the Millennium Stadium stands erupted in cheers. The Blues fans felt that this was the winning goal, and they had every reason to celebrate at the loudest.

At this time, the enthusiasm of the whole stadium had been ignited. Whether they were Chelsea fans or neutral fans, they all waved their arms to celebrate the goal. The noise in the stadium made it impossible to hear what was being said.

At this time, Rita in the neutral fans' stand also cheered. In fact, even now, she didn't know much about football, but when she saw Wang Li score a goal, seeing her beloved on the field score a goal, she had every reason to be excited and to cheer for him.

The team captain John Terry ran towards Wang Li frantically and threw him to the grass. Later, other Chelsea players also joined in. This goal was too important. It can be said that pulling two goals ahead of Arsenal in the second half almost meant that Chelsea could win the final victory.

This time, Mourinho couldn't help but stand up. He stood on the sidelines, clenched his fists and raised them in the air. The veins on his arms even flashed due to excessive force. The players on the Chelsea bench were also very happy. They hugged each other to celebrate the goal. With a two-goal advantage, the next game would be much easier. It can be said that Chelsea will win the FA Cup without any accidents.

This is the longest-standing season championship in football history, and its significance is very important to the English team and English fans.

However, we really have to thank Robben for this goal. He made an invaluable contribution. The pass might have been too powerful, but it was very accurate. If it weren't for his cutting inside and passing the ball, Wang Li would not have got such a good opportunity.

So, the players immediately went to "torture" the Dutch boy.

Sky TV, special guest legendary star Lineker: "Chelsea's performance in attack is very good, look at this shot, my God, Robben's pass is so exquisite that Alan can catch it. This shows that the cooperation between Chelsea players is really skillful. Alan's last shot is very powerful. Look, Lehmann actually tried to dodge it." "He is such a coward"

However, Lineker also sympathized with Lehmann.
