Chapter 1090 Gunner Mythical Nervous Knife
Stamford Bridge Stadium.

Home of Premier League giants Chelsea.

Today ushered in their biggest and most dangerous opponent, Arsenal. This is not an ordinary league game. It determines the ownership of the league championship. At the same time, it is also a life-and-death battle between two rivals in the same city.

In the stands, the team flags were flying and the banners were flying. Tens of thousands of Blues fans occupied most of the space, only thousands of Arsenal hardcore wearing red and white jerseys were waving the flags and cheering for the visiting team.

In the news broadcast area, the on-site commentator is explaining the background of the game to the fans.

"...5 points behind the leader Arsenal. In theory, Chelsea still has the hope of winning the championship, but in fact, the hope is not much. They can only beat Manchester United cheaper by defeating Arsenal. Arsenal is Chelsea's rivals in the same city, Manchester United and Chelsea have also been enemies for many years, but according to the principle of the lesser of two evils, Chelsea would rather be cheaper than Manchester United and fight Arsenal..."

"In terms of strength, there is not much difference between Chelsea and Arsenal. Arsenal has lost four absolute main players, and Chelsea's main players have begun to age. The peak period of Drogba, Anelka, and Lampard has passed. Nasri was recruited by Nasri, but a Nasri cannot fully activate Chelsea's old midfielder. In terms of attack power, Arsenal is slightly stronger than Chelsea. But Chelsea's defensive strength is very strong. The midfielder Essien, Mikel is in his prime, the four defenders cooperate tacitly, and his personal ability is outstanding. So far this season, he has conceded fewer goals than Arsenal. There is a wound..."

At 6 o'clock in the evening, Arsenal and Chelsea players came out of the dressing room, and there was a storm of applause from the stands, and the enthusiastic Blues fans chanted "Long live Chelsea!" "There is only one Chelsea in London!" Get rid of Arsenal!" The slogan made the atmosphere of the stadium extremely bloody.

"The players from both sides came out of the dressing room, let's take a look at the starting XI of both sides, Chelsea is a 4-3-3 formation: Cech/Ivanovic, Luiz, John Terry, Ashley Cole / Essien, Nasri, Lampard / Kalou, Drogba, Malouda
Judging from the previous performance of this season, Chelsea, under the leadership of Villas-Boas, pays great attention to defense and has high requirements for defensive players, especially to quickly adapt to changes in opponents' offensive routines.As for offense, the emphasis will be placed on wing attacks.Encourage the central defender to move to both sides after getting the ball, send the ball to the foot of the near-end winger, and then the winger or pass from the bottom, or cut in and shoot, or kick the ball at a 45-degree angle.However, Boas has always had no intention of letting Torres and Drogba pair up together in the striker line, which disappointed the Blues fans. "

"Let's take a look at Arsenal's starting lineup. Arsenal is also a four-three-three formation. Goalkeeper Fabianski, defender Li Huan-Koscielny-Vermaelen-Sagna. Midfielder Alexander. Song, Wei Hill, Rosicky, the forwards are Walcott, Van Persie, Bella.

All-round defender Li Huan appeared in the position of left back. From left to right, Li Huan's power remained undiminished. He is still the most dangerous enemy in the Arsenal camp.Apart from Li Huan, who is the most dangerous, the most threatening player in the current Arsenal camp is Wilshere. After Fabregas left, Wilshere has grown very fast.After half a season, he has been able to support Arsenal's midfield, but he still lacks a certain amount of experience and the ability to deal with emergencies that change urgently.Bella's strength is also good. Although the main force is a little weaker, it is not enough for a random player to deal with.In general, Arsenal's away game with such a lineup still has a certain attack power./
After the players on both sides exchanged the team flag and badge, the referee also blew the whistle to start the game.

In the away game, Arsenal turned away from the guest and took the lead in launching an offensive. Three swords from the left, center and right went straight into the hinterland of Chelsea. Walcott and Vela pierced from the side. Cut Chelsea into three pieces.

Chelsea is not scared and nervous.They have encountered many strong opponents this season, and this defense can be said to stand the test, even in the first round against Arsenal.In the away game, they also withstood Arsenal's stormy attack and finally defended a draw.Now that they have returned to their home court, how can Chelsea be afraid.

Players from both sides fought fiercely in Walcott's area.

Chelsea was determined to win this game, so Mikel, who is more defensive, was not allowed to appear.Instead, Nasri, who has stronger attack power and is more familiar with Arsenal, was replaced.On defense, Nasri also took on certain tasks.The confrontation between him and Walcott became the main theme of the opening stage.

Relying on his own speed, Walcott rushed into the penalty area after getting the ball. Nasri is very familiar with Walcott, even more familiar with himself, and he does not compete with Walcott for speed and Technique, he just stuck the position, forced Walcott to take an arc, slowed down Walcott's speed, and at the same time called his teammates to pinch Walcott.He wanted to win the game by several times without fouling, because Nasri was afraid of Li Huan's little Li flying knife and did not dare to foul.

Lampard, the magic lamp of Chelsea, also quickly came to attack. The two men and the central defender stuck Walcott in the middle. Walcott was not a reckless person. Te's ability to handle the ball has been greatly improved. Before Chelsea's encirclement closed, he knocked the ball with his heel into his own half, where Rosicky should have run.

Rosicky appeared in the right position, he received the ball from Walcott, and in the first place, he passed a wide-footed long ball to find Vela.

Last season, due to injuries, Rosicky was in poor form and played as a substitute. Arsenal also intended to sell him, but because all the midfielders were transferred, Rosicky stayed. At the time, Rosicky performed poorly, but after the second half, Rosicky's performance improved greatly and became the main force in Arsenal's midfield, sharing part of the pressure of Li Huan's attack.

Rosicky's long pass was very precise, and it found Bella who was running. Bella jumped high and stopped the ball with his chest, but he was always caught by Chelsea full-back Ashley as a winger.Cole stares, just as he stops the ball to his feet, Ashley.Cole came to him.

Bella made a feint and suddenly broke to the baseline with force, but Ashley.Cole has a lot of experience, he closely follows the inside, blocking the route of Vela's pass and inside cut.

Bella did not choose to force a breakthrough. After Cesc Fabregas and others left, Arsenal played more like the Arsenal two seasons ago, but now their ability to use opportunities and fight tough battles is not the same as before. language.

Bella chose to pass the ball. He knocked the ball behind him and Li Huan stepped in. He chose to cut inward to open the gap for Li Huan's breakthrough.

As soon as Li Huan received the ball, the Chelsea players immediately panicked. Almost all of them started to run towards the penalty area to prevent Li Huan from passing the ball after breaking through.But Li Huan didn't make a breakthrough. He didn't stop the ball and made a long pass to Sagna who came in from behind Walcott.

Arsenal's two quick wide-ranging transfers in a row disrupted Chelsea's defense, creating a vacuum behind Theo Walcott, and Sagna, who was inserted in the back row, was unmarked.
After Li Huan switched to left back, the Frenchman Sarnia, who had been sitting on the bench for two seasons, got the chance to start. The Frenchman did not waste this opportunity. He performed very well, with excellent defensive performance, although his offensive ability was poor. , but fortunately he is very diligent, even if he does not pose too much threat, he can disrupt the opponent's defense line, at least he can attract the opponent's attention. This attitude has won the favor of Arsenal fans. A capable full-back later expressed support for the current change, and Sagna used his performance to secure the position of right-back.

There is no one in front of Sarnia, he can stop the ball a few meters in front of himself to chase, which gives the opponent much less time to react, until Sarnia's speed increased, Chelsea freed up manpower to mark, but At this time, apart from fouls, it is difficult to stop Sagna's breakthrough.

The cumbersome Ivanovic's sliding tackle did not block Sagna. Sagna skipped over Ivanovic and rushed to the baseline with the ball. Van Persie, Walcott, and Vela outflanked the center. They were all in place. Even Li Huan Also stood on the periphery.

Within a minute of the opening, Arsenal had a very threatening offensive opportunity, and the Chelsea fans in the stands stood up nervously.The Arsenal fans were also excited and ready to applaud.

But what no one expected was that Sagna passed the ball to the stands with no one to mark, making the Arsenal players rushing into the penalty area relatively wry smiles and speechless.There is no way, they have seen a lot of this kind of situation, Sagna's running position is in place, the assist is very active, but the last cross is so neurotic, it may be a wonderful cross, or it may be directly Hitting the stands, but they still have to grab points. If Sagna makes a good pass, they can only regret it.

"Hahaha!" Chelsea fans applauded desperately. They were not booing, but he was sincerely encouraging Sagna, hoping that he will continue to work hard.

The on-site commentator joked: "Sarnia's clearance is very beautiful. We have to suspect that he has been undercover at Arsenal for a long time."
