Mourinho is firmly on the path he is pursuing. This year Chelsea has not lost its main players. In addition, Robben, Drogba, Ferreira and other players have adapted to the Premier League. Joe Cole, Lampard, Teddy Local players like Li have improved significantly, their overall strength has become stronger, and it is rumored that Chelsea is still trying to strengthen the midfielder. They have taken a fancy to Essien, an African black and tough midfielder.

Arsenal's situation cannot be said to be quite the opposite, but at least the main attack group composed of substitutes and new aids performed poorly in the first half of this game.

The incidental consequence was that the defense was almost broken.

The reason is simple, Henry, Pires, and Ljungberg will not easily lose the ball to Chelsea to counterattack, and Chelsea counterattacked more, and the number of successes naturally increased over the same period, let alone Vier La left Cesc Fabregas' new defense was weakened.

It's not easy for Qin Xiong to blame his teammates. He came to Fabregas and just told Fabregas a fact.

"If we want to beat Chelsea in a positional battle, this game is basically impossible."

Fabregas couldn't help but nodded when he heard Qin Xiong's words.

Arsenal's offense advanced to Chelsea's dangerous zone and was immediately cut off by the opponent's offensive formation. The connection between the players became weak. If there is no super tacit understanding, it is difficult to play effective offensive coordination.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for positional warfare to penetrate Chelsea's defense.

"Right now the only environment we need to be able to attack is: to play Chelsea counter-attacks! Do you know what I mean?"

Fabregas pondered for a moment and then nodded.

Positional warfare is cleaner, since there is no expectation.Then simply give up, focus on defense, wait for Chelsea's counterattack, and then block it with all your strength, and then suddenly launch a counterattack!

Wenger criticized the team's offensive performance after walking into the locker room, but he did not criticize Qin Xiong.

Qin Xiong was inconspicuous in the first half. Most of his passes were formulaic, and his pass success rate exceeded 90%.And those missed passes are mostly threatening passes, and no teammates can respond to them. Of course, if the main players are replaced, maybe half of them will be successful.

Van Persie did not retreat, and Fabregas was getting more and more backward because of the defensive pressure.Qin Xiong faced Chelsea's three tough midfielders alone in the midfield area like an outcast.What can he do?

It is irresponsible to pass a threatening ball without teammates to respond.

Wenger could understand Qin Xiong's situation, so he didn't say a serious word to him.

Hleb, Reyes, and Van Persie were taught a lesson by Wenger. Wenger repeatedly emphasized the unity and cooperation of the team's offensive end, and actively involved in running, and then encouraged the team to strive for effective performance in the second half. improved.

No one cares about the outcome of this game.But what everyone cares about is the process!

It is not an exaggeration to say that based on Arsenal's performance in the first half, once they meet Chelsea in a league or cup match, they have to kneel once!

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

Qin Xiong simply retreated to the central midfielder and actively participated in the defense.

Anyway, he could see it. In this game, he either has the ability to go forward and abuse Chelsea in one go, or he can't rush forward in vain, and won't get effective support from his teammates at all.

Chelsea was still patiently fighting back. In the 57th minute of the game, Chelsea once again had a counterattack storm.Robben sprinted forward on the right, and he cut across the middle in front of Ashley Cole.Silva went to block, but Robben took a step back.Bypassing Silva and posing for a long-range shot, Fabregas' replacement was attracted, and then Robben passed the ball to Lampard who plugged in behind.

When Lampard just took the ball forward, Qin Xiong stepped down decisively to intercept the ball. Lampard hurriedly protected the ball, and Qin Xiong got into entanglement with him. The two fought physically and neither retreated. Finally, Qin Xiong lost The cost of body balance pokes the ball away from Lampard's feet.

But the football that was stabbed still rolled to Robben's feet. At this time, Robben directly hoisted the ball into the penalty area. Arsenal's back line, who thought it was a successful defense, was moving forward. Unexpectedly, Chelsea's attack came in again. , and so directly!

Drogba, who was always waiting for an opportunity, succeeded in countering offside. He headed the ball ahead of Lehmann, and the football changed direction and he pushed it into the lower right corner of the goal.

Lyman is going crazy!

He yelled at every Arsenal player in a gaffe.

This kind of defense is simply horrible!

"3:0! Chelsea destroyed Arsenal! Arsenal should regret it! They sold the player they shouldn't have sold, Vieira! Look at their midfield defense, Cesc Fabregas has a certain amount of organizational support performance, but he can’t feel it in defense at all! If he wants to defend the Premier League title with such a performance, it’s just a dream! Chelsea is preparing for the new season with a huge unwillingness from last season!”

Wenger wiped his face on the sidelines. Of course he doesn't care about the outcome of this game, even if he loses 0:5!

But it must be admitted that he was very concerned about the process of how to lose the game.

Time to face reality!

Admit it!

It is impossible to rely on Van Persie, Reyes, and Hleb to make a difference in the new season!

Adding all competitions together last season, Reyes and Van Persie's scoring rates were both around 0.25 per game.

In other words, only one goal can be scored in 4 games.

Even if two players play at the same time, it will take 2 games for one of them to score a goal.

Hleb itself is not a stable scoring point in Stuttgart.

Indeed, Arsenal must rely on Henry, Pires and Ljungberg.

But the current situation is that, like Reyes and Van Persie, they can't even be considered as a super substitute, let alone compete for the main force.

Wenger, it's time to wake up!

The gap between the main force and the substitute is huge.

Arsenal is still the Arsenal that only has one-line combat strength!

Wenger is at peace, he knows what reality is, and he can discover more.

The gap in player level is not only a decline in the overall strength of the team, but also the impact of individual players.

For example, Qin Xiong couldn't show his true strength in this game.

His stunning delivery of the ball, capable of scaring Chelsea's defenders into a cold sweat, turned into a mistake when his teammates failed to grasp the intention, only to cause Chelsea a false alarm.

The first mistake, the second mistake, the third time, sorry, Qin Xiong doesn't try anymore, it's pointless.

When there is no active cover from his teammates to allow him to have more space to play, Qin Xiong can't move forward either. Moving forward will give Chelsea a greater advantage in the midfield. He can only go backward, but retreat and then move forward. He doesn't get a positive response from his teammates. How can he perform well by himself?

Wenger turned to the bench and called Henry, Pires and Ljungberg to warm up.

It's not to save face, most of this game has already been lost, Wenger just wants to cheer up Cesc Fabregas and Qin Xiong, because they are the absolute main players in the new season! (to be continued~^~)
