Chapter 1267 Confrontation ([-])

Chelsea are the best in the league, but also in other arenas.In the FA Cup held last Wednesday, they easily won Middlesbrough [-]-[-].

Middlesbrough used to be considered a veteran team in the Premier League, but their fate has been ill-fated in recent years. They have been ups and downs in League One and League Two for several consecutive years. At this time, they are once again facing tremendous pressure in the league. , So simply gave up the FA Cup.On the other side, Chelsea did not send a main lineup, but several young people got a chance on the field. In the end, with the goals of Lukaku, De Bruyne, Oscar, Moses and Huntelaar, they easily defeated their opponents. Immediately entered the next round smoothly.

But before Chelsea could catch their breath, they immediately ushered in their first strong opponent in 2013, Arsenal. In the final match of the league in 2012, Arsenal beat Newcastle 2013-2013 at home. However, in the first two games after entering [-], Arsenal was tied [-]-[-] by Southampton, and then lost [-]-[-] to Manchester City. In this third game, they encountered the London Derby and met their old enemy Chelsea. In this game, the Gunners had no other choice but to win the ball. They hoped to avoid being double-killed by their rivals in the same city while winning their first victory in [-].

Before the game, Professor Arsene Wenger directly stated that he would fight against Chelsea, but since they did not introduce anyone in the winter transfer, the outside world did not agree with this statement.

But people who really understand have hope for Wenger. After all, Chelsea was suppressed by the opponent in the first 10 minutes of the last game, which gave many people some inspiration. In their view, this is definitely not a coincidence. .

Looking at Chelsea's style of play now is indeed intimidating. Their aggressiveness is not something that can be blocked by tight defense at all, and more importantly, this is just the beginning. Cooperate together for a period of time, then Chelsea will become a sophisticated instrument, and at that time everyone will stop thinking about what can be snatched from them.

But it's just because it's just started now, and the cooperation between these players is still a bit rusty. At this time, it is necessary to use the thunderbolt method to defeat them. Destroying the other party before the other party has reacted can really be called perfection.

That's what Wenger thought, and that's exactly what he did. He put up a 4-3-3 attacking formation at Stamford Bridge, which is almost a look of death and survival.

Arsenal's goalkeeper is the Polish general Szesny, this is the famous goalkeeper, and his father is the legendary goalkeeper of Poland.He came to Arsenal since he was a teenager, and he can be regarded as coming out of Arsenal's youth training system. His physical fitness has completely inherited his father's strong genes. He has been favored by Wenger for many years, but he went well. After the start of the season, he was quickly taught by the Premier League with facts, and in the end he could only be loaned out, and he did not return to Arsenal until last season.

After that, his jersey number changed from No. 53 to NO.13, and that was also the jersey number left by Lehmann who had just left the team. It may also be because this jersey brought him good luck. In the following season, he finally got With Wenger's reuse, he overwhelmed Almunia, Fabianski and Mannone and became the club's No. [-] goalkeeper.

Before this game, he also said that he hoped to challenge Ai Huan's free kick from God again, because he had already mastered the way to deal with this kind of free kick, although many people felt like listening A lunatic is talking, but everyone still wants to see how he responds on the court.

The back line from left to right is Sagna, Mertesacker, Vermaelen and Gibbs. This back line has always been the main force of Arsenal, so it is not surprising. The midfield consists of Diaby, Will Hill and Kirkland formed, which is a bit strange. After all, Czar Arshavin, who has been in good form recently, was placed on the bench, but the three strikers are Cazorla, Walcott and Giroud. In most people's expectations.

Chelsea still put on their best 4-3-2-1, the goalkeeper is still Petr Cech, the back line consists of Ivanovic, Marcos, Cahill and Ashley Cole, in the last game Terry, who had already played, was placed on the bench again, and the midfield duo has changed since then. Mikel has been rotated and rested in this game. Ramires replaced him, while Lampard He still appeared in this position, and he still wore the captain's armband in this game.The frontcourt trident Ai Huan, Mata and De Bruyne, in the last game De Bruyne not only scored a goal, but also assisted two, so he will continue to be entrusted with important tasks in this game.Huntelaar replaced Lukaku on the front line. This is a surprising employment. After all, Lukaku's performance in recent games is still very good.

But no matter what others think, the main lineup for this game has been determined by the head coaches of both sides. They each have their own calculations, and these calculations are not fully understood by others.

After the start of the game, the two sides played relatively cautiously, and even Chelsea, who were playing at home, did not expect to attack wildly with mercury as soon as they came up. After all, their current opponent is Arsenal. Don't dare to be too big on such an opponent.

In the 3rd minute, Ai Huan's breakthrough pass from the right was destroyed by the Arsenal players, but his passing power was weird, so Vermaelen didn't kick the ball far, and Mata continued to control the ball in the midfield. He didn't dawdle but only made a fake move and returned the football to the right again.

In fact, Gibbs had already thought that they would be like this, so he had been preparing all the time. Now when he saw the football was passed back again, he immediately made a tackle. His tackle was very precise, and he tackled the football just before Ai Huan got the ball. However, before he was happy, he saw that Ai Huan had quickly turned around behind him, controlled the football again, and he didn't hesitate to pass a diagonal pass to the middle of the penalty area. Mata didn't make any moves after receiving the ball. After adjusting, he directly shot with his left foot, and the football immediately flew towards the goal while spinning in the air. Although Arsenal goalkeeper Szesny jumped up at the first time, he still didn't touch the ball. He could only watch the football go from His hand flew into the goal.
