Arsenal and Chelsea's top battle ended in a draw in the first half.

More than intense, not exciting enough.

The cautiousness of strong dialogue is vividly reflected.

On the way back to the locker room, Qin Xiong, Henry, Vieira, Pires, and Ljungberg got together to discuss how to play in the second half. Details found by Chelsea.

It is hard to say what kind of status Qin Xiong is in the Arsenal dressing room. He is no different from ordinary players. He will not lead his teammates, nor will he resist the leader group headed by Vieira.

But at the purely competitive level, he has the right to speak, and the core players and important players in the team will also take the initiative to communicate with him.

After all, football is not basketball or rugby. The head coach can use the tactics to plan every attack and defense for the team. It is obviously unrealistic to expect the coach to let each player know exactly what to do in a 45-minute game. .

Besides, Arsenal is still a very creative team in terms of offense. Their offensive routines are relatively rich. Since they are not rigid and fixed offensive routines, the individual performance of the players will play a key role. All-round cooperation is achieved by individual players.

If Henry is a standing center, then he can hardly get the support of his teammates, because it is difficult for the ball to reach his feet, and even if he does, he does not have the super physical confrontation of Drogba to rush out of Terry - Carvalho-Thiago-Makelele encirclement.

So Henry will take the initiative to walk around the periphery, but this is just a method, not a specific offensive idea.

The five people returned to the locker room and were still communicating. Before they could think about the result, Wenger came among them and said solemnly: "This game is much more difficult than we expected. If we face it with conventional thinking For this game, I am afraid it will be difficult to cause trouble for Chelsea. We need to break the rules. Each of you has the ability to make the final decision on the game. Therefore, try to ignore your original role and position. Observe the position of your teammates in the attack, let Our offense is more dynamic, more elusive."

Wenger's words made everyone nod in agreement.

This concept is not advanced, but it is difficult to form a normal state in a mature team.

It's like asking Henry to be a passer, he can do it, and he can definitely do it very well.

But here's the thing: Henry is a striker.

No matter how selfless the striker is.If there are not a lot of goals and a stable goal rate as the basis, the forward's sense of presence will be very low!

However, in key games, players should make sacrifices for the overall situation.

The most important thing about this adjustment is Henry.

Because Henry is the number one defensive target in Chelsea's defence.

As long as Henry changes his offensive thinking and methods, then Chelsea's defense may be caught off guard.

Back in the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again on the field.

Chelsea is still confident, they hold their heads high, hoping to achieve something in the second half.

The game has developed so far, at least Chelsea have not been destroyed by Arsenal, which will further boost their confidence.

Arsenal unbeaten in 56 games.Doesn't seem like an omnipotent ruler!

At the beginning of the second half, Qin Xiong was still active near the center circle, facing Chelsea's tactics of extreme defense and counterattack.Qin Xiong was actually very passive from the beginning.

Because he has to react according to the inertia of Lampard's activities.

If Lampard strengthens his defense, it will be difficult for him to play more.On the contrary, he has more room to play.

Mourinho still has ambitions for the game.

If Arsenal's unbeaten run ends at Highbury, Mourinho believes Chelsea will win the throne in one go!

When Lampard actively advanced in the counterattack, Qin Xiong had a bottom line in his mind.

Arsenal's defense is not absolutely impeccable, but in the context of Chelsea investing only a small number of troops, no fatal flaws have been exposed for the time being.

If the full-backs don't go forward, they will defend Chelsea's wingers, double midfielders block Lampard, and double defenders block Drogba.The rings are interlocking and the joint defense is tight.Still has a convincing defensive quality.

Qin Xiong still used the timing of Chelsea's counterattack to turn from defense to offense to explode the offensive threat.

He started wandering to the side, and used Vieira's small forward as a central contact point.

In the 54th minute of the game, Qin Xiong cooperated with Pires on the left to hit the wall with two passes. He ran to the bottom line to respond to Pires' pass, in turn pulled Ferret past, and then sent a cross from the side. , The football internally rotated around the central defender and flew straight to the back of the goal. Ljungberg snatched the back but was blocked by Gallas and failed to form a shot.

The biggest change in Arsenal's attack is Henry.

Qin Xiong's left leaning is just a smoke bomb.

When Henry cooperated with Pires on the left in the 58th minute of the game and crossed the front of the penalty area, his versatility was perfectly reflected. After attracting Thiago to defend, Henry and Qin Xiong made a wall cooperation. After passing Tiago, Makelele pounced on Qin Xiong again, and Henry kicked the goal directly after receiving Qin Xiong's pass!

Cech did it again.

It wasn't a world-class save, but it was brilliant, as he caught Henry's shot straight into his arms.

Mourinho looked stern on the sidelines.

Arsenal's offensive creativity is very threatening, and he did not expect Henry to make such a change.

Looking at this attack statically, it can be said that Arsenal almost has no center forward, and Henry cuts across the center in the role of a winger.

In the 61st minute, Qin Xiong passed the ball back to Vieira in the middle, and Vieira passed it straight ahead. Qin Xiong ran to the right. What surprised Chelsea's double midfielders was Ljungberg. The middle of the front waistline.

Ljungberg does not have the excellent ability to play the midfielder, so he did not dare to control the ball. The first time he touched the ball, he distributed the ball to the right, where he should have been.

Qin Xiong dribbled the ball along the sidewalk, made a fake pass in front of Gallas and swiped the ball behind Gallas, then used acceleration and Gallas' defensive prediction error to rush past him, The ball is divided!

Qin Xiong, who cut to the bottom line, slowed down the pace of dribbling the ball, and then passed the ball back behind Gallas when he returned. Ljungberg made a two-for-one with him. Qin Xiong cut inside the right rib of Chelsea's penalty area.

Carvalho, Makelele, Gallas behind him, and Qin Xiong were caught in a three-sided trap, and he didn't have time to control the ball, so he kicked the ball out.

The football rolled behind Henry.

Henry's running position gave Pires a screen, and Pires shot angrily at the ball from the left side of the penalty area!

The football flew into the stands.

Two minutes later, Henry withdrew to the midfielder to dribble the ball. He passed a good kick to Pires. Pires made a pass to the left side of the penalty area. .

Perhaps because he used his left foot, the quality of the shot was very poor, and it was two meters away from the goal.

Despite this, Arsenal's offensive during this time period still made Chelsea frightened.

Who among them is the deadly point of attack?

Arsenal's attack groups cover and contain each other, making their attack points unpredictable.

Such an offensive threat also made Chelsea have to wake up, and the opponent was Arsenal, who were unbeaten in 56 games!

When unable to figure out who is the most threatening attack point of the opponent, Chelsea can only slow down Arsenal's offensive rhythm, so fouls are a good means of delay.

In the 71st minute of the game, Qin Xiong was knocked down by Makelele. The referee blew his whistle to indicate a foul by Makelele, and Arsenal got a free kick.

After Qin Xiong stood up and set the ball, Makelele still stood in front of the football to prevent Qin Xiong from taking a quick free kick.

Qin Xiong stepped forward and walked towards Makelele, not only blocking Makelele's sight, but also pushing Makelele back with his body.

The place where Makelele himself stood was against the law, he should have stepped back even more, so Qin Xiong's move to squeeze him, at most he could only resist symbolically, but he could not firmly resist.

Just as he took a step back, the football behind Qin Xiong was kicked quickly by Vieira.

Henry received the pass by Makelele's side, and then went straight to Chelsea's penalty area!

Arsenal's quick free kick tactic was completed! (to be continued~^~)
