Chapter 437 Chapter 435: Blitz!

This time, Salvagni didn't let Drogba hit the football. He pushed the football back to the midfield, defusing the opponent's blitzkrieg.

The referee looked at the watch on his wrist and blew the whistle to signal the end of the first half.

At the end of the first half, the two sides were evenly divided one to one.

Players from both sides returned to the locker room, and various TV stations began to summarize the first half.

The ESPN commentator said: "Arsenal's set-piece defense is still weak, but they still do a good job of defending in the offensive position. Chen and Song erected a barrier in front of the back line. It is difficult for the Chelsea midfielder to pass through this barrier from the ground.

If Arsenal can solve the problem of set-piece defense, they can even become the best defensive team in the Premier League. This season is coming to an end. This is a problem that Wenger will have to solve next season. "

The BBC commentator said: "Chen is still the sharpest knife for Arsenal. When other attacking players failed again and again, he stood up and went all the way forward.

It was his advance in stoppage time that helped Arsenal usher in the best chance to score in the first half.Although his push was rejected by the post, Van Persie completed a supplementary shot to help Arsenal equalize the score.

It is still difficult for us to evaluate whether it is a wise decision for Wenger to arrange him in the midfielder position, but his contribution to the team in defense is obvious.

Judging from what happened in the first half, it is very likely that Wenger arranged it like this: if Chelsea did not break the goal, Chen would stick to the backcourt and consolidate the defense.

At this time, the important task of scoring goals is given to two forwards and two midfielders.

Once the opponent scores a goal, and the front four attacking players cannot tear through the opponent's defense to score, Chen will step forward and participate in the attack!
If Wenger still arranges like this in the second half, and Chelsea scores a goal after 10 minutes of the second half...then, is there enough time for Chen to attack again?
Judging from the goal in the first half, Arsenal has all the elements of luck.

Once the situation I just mentioned occurs in the second half and Chelsea retreats across the board after taking the lead, how will Arsenal score?

How much time does Arsenal have to score?

Therefore, I think Wenger will not miss this point, Chen will probably participate more in the attack in the second half, and Song will become a full-time defensive midfielder! "

Bill, the commentator of Sky Sports, said: "The score of one to one gave both sides hope to win the final victory. The situation on the field in the first half was similar to the score, Chelsea and Arsenal were evenly divided.

Will the two sides become cautious in the second half, or will they continue to fight each other?
That can only be revealed after the start of the second half! "

……

When the TV station summarized the first half and looked forward to the second half, the players of both sides were resting in the locker room.

After the two coaches summed up, they rearranged the tactics for the second half.Sure enough, as the BBC commentator said, Wenger asked Chen Fan to make more and bolder advances after the start of the second half.

To strengthen Arsenal's offensive capabilities.

Ancelotti also thought of this, and he emphasized that he must not relax his guard against Chen Fan.

"We have also seen that although other Arsenal players are offensively threatening, they are still not as threatening as Chen. He will definitely participate in the offense more in the second half, and we must try to contain him.

Judging from the situation tonight, it is unlikely that Wenger will allow Chen to play as a striker, so Chen's offensive method is mainly to attack. "

He looked at Lampard and Ballack and said: "You did a good job in the first half, making him unable to directly participate in the offense for most of the time, and you must continue to persist in the second half."

Then he looked at the defender and said, "If Chen Yiyi breaks through the midfield defense, you must immediately stop him outside the penalty area!"

The Italian exhaled a long breath and said firmly: "Even if it is a foul, we must keep him, and we must not let him dribble the ball into our penalty area at high speed."

"That's too dangerous!"

Terry and others thought about the goal lost at the end of the first half, glanced at each other, then nodded, agreeing with the Italian's opinion.

"In the offense, we must stick to the air, and pay special attention to every opportunity to set the ball in the frontcourt. This is a big loophole in their defense!"

……

After a 15-minute intermission, players from both sides returned to the field.

"Tick!..."

With the whistle of the referee, the decisive battle in the second half began.

Chelsea were in no rush to move the football upfield and Arsenal were not pressing high.

The ESPN commentator said: "It seems that both sides are very cautious, but when you think about the score, you can understand what both sides are thinking. They don't want to let the other side score first, that will be very passive."

The Chelsea midfielders patiently turned their feet, looking for the fatal blow.

The Arsenal central defender surrounded the opponent's key players and did not give them more space to move.Without the ball, Salvagni and Drogba pulled each other, and even had a quarrel.

At this moment, Lampard on the left side of the frontcourt suddenly made a cross!
The football flies backwards!
Anelka flies forward, going to head the ball!
Clinch's defense this time was in place, and he didn't give the French striker a chance to get rid of it at all, and stuck him firmly behind him.

After the football hits the ground, it pops out of the bottom line.

In the following time, Chen Fan directly participated in the offense more and more times, but under the "care" of Lampard and Ballack, he had no chance to get a shot at all.

The scene became stalemate, and the actions of both sides became bigger and bigger.

In the 17th minute of the second half, Malouda brought Eb down near the middle circle, but the referee signaled the game to continue.

After Eb got up from the turf, he ruthlessly knocked Malouda over from behind.

"Tick!..."

The referee gave Eb a yellow card. This penalty aroused the dissatisfaction of the Arsenal players. They surrounded the referee and asked him to give an explanation.

Why did Malouda not foul that time?
Just as the Arsenal players were arguing with the referee, Ballack suddenly sent a free kick!

Knowing Drogba psychologically, he took two steps forward to control the football, and then rushed to the Arsenal penalty area!

The referee broke free from the siege of the Arsenal players and ran in the direction of the football. Only then did the Arsenal players know that the opponent had launched a fast attack.

The atmosphere in the stadium suddenly became tense!
The BBC commentator said loudly: "There was an unexpected situation on the pitch, and the Arsenal players expressed dissatisfaction with the referee's penalty. While arguing with the referee, Ballack suddenly sent the football out!

After Drogba got the ball, he blatantly rushed towards the Arsenal penalty area!

Arsenal are in danger! "

Under the defense of Savani, Drogba couldn't find the space to shoot, so he made a diagonal pass, and the football flew towards Anelka!

The French striker leaned on Clinch and fired a shot, and the football flew towards the far corner!

Almunia made a brave save, and the fingers of his right hand touched the football with difficulty. The football changed direction slightly and continued to move forward!
The air at Wembley Stadium is almost freezing...
