Jagged Wings

Chapter 188 Mourinho's Extraterrestrial Move
London is famous for its smog. Most of the time of the year, the sun cannot be seen.The day before the game, there was a light rain over Stamford Bridge, which made the whole stadium feel like a misty pavilion.

"This rain is really annoying!" Chrissy stepped on the ground under his feet, looked at the sky again, and cursed: "Either a blind man will finish raining, or stop raining! It's raining like milking milk!"

"It's been raining for two days, the turf might be very slippery..." Reyes said worriedly.Arsenal is a team that relies heavily on ground coordination. If there is no advantage on the ground, it will be very difficult to play!

After changing in the dressing room, the Arsenal players are ready to go to the pitch to adapt to the field.But when they saw the venue at Stamford Bridge, their originally depressed mood because of the weather suddenly became even more depressed!
"This... this..." Torres was so shocked that he stuttered, "Have we arrived at the farm? Tell me, potatoes must be grown here! Isn't it? How could this be a place to play football?"

The others had the same expressions and thoughts as him, and even the good old Hleb frowned.

Wenger also frowned. He had to adjust his tactical arrangements according to the weather. Arsenal is a technically delicate team, and they are very particular about ball control at their feet. But if the field is slippery and the weather is wet, the team cannot guarantee it at all. Can handle the ball.

How can Arsenal, who can't control the ball, deal with the home team?And how can we win?
Reyes took out a football and kicked it onto the football field. After the football fell, it bounced in another direction.

Wenger had no choice but to announce that the content of today's pre-match stepping on the field was changed, and the whole team took a walk to adapt to the grass field conditions as soon as possible.

At this time, in Mourinho's office, Mourinho had a sinister smile on his face: "Arsenal, in such a venue, let me see how you fight with me!"

Although it was still raining, there were no seats left at Stamford Bridge the next day.The reporters were even more aggressive, and there was a crowd behind the two goals.

All the reporters who saw this venue had an extra "cheap" word in their evaluation of Chelsea: Chelsea really did everything they could to win, and they even took advantage of the venue conditions.

And this also shows that Chelsea has a different desire for this Champions League champion!
It's just that people always have flaws, as the saying goes: One thousand wounds to the enemy, eight hundred wounds to oneself!When Chelsea cut off Arsenal's ground cooperation, they also told Arsenal from the side: Our tactics in this game are long passes!
So if Wenger wants to break the game, there are still ways.

"Since the field is bad, Chelsea will definitely play a high ball! In this game, we must focus on the away side, and press the Chelsea players in the frontcourt and midfield to completely disrupt their midfield organization. After the frontcourt grabs the ball, we must Immediately pass three or two people to form a shot! The biggest principle is to reduce the number of passes and avoid mistakes!"

"So, for this game we need to change 4231, Torres plays a single striker, Gilberto and Flamini partner with a double midfielder, Fabregas is a midfielder, but all three of you have to invest in defense, grab me Kill them! Counterattack on the spot after grabbing the ball, try to minimize the distance and number of passes!"

"If possible, Reyes and Hleb should try to minimize ground cooperation and make more use of Torres' high point!"

The overall tactics have been arranged the night before, and now they are just some on-the-spot reminders.A few minutes later, players from both teams appeared on the field.

The head coaches of both sides are on the coach's bench, and then wait for the referee to blow the kick-off whistle.

Wenger crossed his arms and looked stern, while Mourinho was still chewing gum with a serious face.

At the start of the game, Chelsea kicked off the ball first, and Flamini rushed over, grabbed Kalou's ball, and then passed it to Reyes in front.

Relying on his outstanding acceleration, Reyes easily broke through Bridge's defense, and then made a diagonal pass!
Since Bridge was pulled out by him, there was a vacuum in the ribs where Chelsea's right back and center back combined.Reyes was keenly aware of it, so he sent a pass without hesitation!
As if with a tacit understanding, Torres ran there just right, and then received the football!Torres, who had the ball, swung his foot to hit the goal without hesitation, and the football flew straight to the near corner!
Cech concentrated and hit the ball with both hands!

Torres looked at the opponent's goal with some regret: If the goal is scored, the initiative will be ours!
Chelsea were obviously not used to Arsenal's crazy pressing. Lampard, surrounded by Gilberto and Flamini, passed the ball hastily to Fabregas, and Fabregas was not polite. Then quickly passed the ball to Torres in front!
It was Essien defending him.

Torres flicked and pulled the ball lightly, and then shook off Essien, who had lost his center of gravity, and then he saw the surrounding area suddenly empty, so he swung his leg and shot from a long distance!
This shot was beyond the expectations of the Chelsea players. Cech's save action seemed very hasty. Fortunately, he has a height of 1.9 meters [-], and he barely saved Torres' cold shot.

Only 2 minutes into the game, Arsenal had two good offensives.Mourinho couldn't sit still, he rushed to the sidelines, and then yelled inside: "What are you doing?! Who told you to be so sloppy in the midfield? Find me a high point, open your feet!"

But playing football on the field is not a boring word game after all.Some things are not something you can defend if you say you want to defend. We all know that Reyes' speed is an advantage, but who can really defend him?

Gilberto and Flamini's double defensive midfielders are very effective. They completely contained Lampard's power, and it is impossible for Ballack, who played as a winger, and Essien, who was in charge of defense, to give him too much help, so Chelsea's midfield is still messy.

The rain in London hit the faces of the Chelsea fans, and it also made their hearts chill. Ten minutes into the game, the home team didn't even have a shot!

It wasn't until the 20th minute of the first half that Chelsea forced Robben to cut in from the left and completed a hasty shot.

This shot ended up hitting a plane!
The Arsenal fans who came to watch the game laughed wantonly, which made the Chelsea fans next to them quite unhappy, and also made the riot police in charge of security work very nervous.Their shields and batons were raised in their hands, and their eyes were even wider than the players on the field!

The turf condition at Stamford Bridge was really bad. Reyes had to be careful when running, for fear of spraining his foot at some point.

Fabregas sent a ball, and Reyes was going to sprint to chase it, but he just started, and suddenly felt that his feet were empty, slowed down a beat, and the football finally flew out of the baseline.

Reyes, who came back to his senses, was a little helpless, but still applauded Cesc Fabregas, thanking him for passing the ball.

This field is so bad, you can't even catch the ball, so how can you attack?Reyes shook his head in distress.

Because of the ground and the lawn, both sides concentrated most of their energy on the midfielder, who turned their backs on their backs from time to time, and long passes became an important means of attack for both sides!
Senderos made a long pass and passed the football directly from the backcourt to the frontcourt.Torres jumped high, grabbed the football in front of Essien and pushed it back. The goal happened to be Fabregas who ran up.

In this game, with Gilberto and Flamini's double midfielders in charge, the liberated Cesc Fabregas got more offensive opportunities, which Wenger did not expect.

Fabregas was very clever in the face of Torres' back-ball. He didn't use his feet to stop the ball, but directly hit the football forward with his chest, and then rushed over.

Lampard, the captain of the blue team, pushed forward. He reached out to Fabregas. For this 20-year-old kid, Lampard did not despise him in the slightest. He was even ready to foul when necessary.

This year, Reyes' light at Arsenal has overshadowed everyone, including Cesc Fabregas, who also became famous at a young age.But Lampard, who also plays in midfield, knows that Fabregas' current ability is equally terrifying!
Lampard's marking is very tight. Fabregas was going to pass the ball out, but when he looked up, he saw Reyes being guarded by Terry and Muric. On the other side, Hleb was also familiar with Arsenal. The kicking Ashley Cole stalled.

Lampard saw Fabregas look up for someone, so he tightened his feet and stabbed at the football.

Sensing the danger, Fabregas followed Lampard's footsteps and flicked the football to the outside, allowing the opponent to miss it.

Lampard stepped on a puddle with his kick, and he staggered, but he didn't let go of the hand holding Fabregas's clothes, so he managed to maintain his body balance.

Fabregas was taken to the ground by Lampard and fell to one side.But he immediately adjusted his center of gravity, exerted force on his feet, and rushed over!

Hearing a "stab", Fabregas's jersey was slashed by Lampardella!

Next he was facing Chelsea's backline, and Reyes suddenly accelerated from the wing and ran towards the junction of Bridge and Carvalho.

Before the game, Mourinho specifically said that we must pay attention to Reyes' running position.Carvalho subconsciously moved a small step to the right, ready to cut off Arsenal's pass.

Fabregas, who dribbled the ball, had quick hands and eyes, and a simple pedaling action swayed the half-hearted Carvalho. When Terry was about to grab it, Fabregas shot!

Fabregas pressed down with his foot, but it was a half-high ball. Cech judged the wrong direction and could only watch the football hit the net!
In the No.207 minute of the first half, Arsenal took the lead 1:0!
Ps: Our factory lost today, not happy!
