Jagged Wings

Chapter 189 Left Back

"The goal! A beautiful individual performance! Cesc Fabregas scored his second Champions League goal of the season, worth a thousand dollars!"

"Arsenal tied the total score to 2:1! They are now ahead of Chelsea!"

Fabregas was very excited after the goal. He took off his shirt, sprinted to the sidelines and knelt for at least ten meters, then got up, turned around and hugged the excited Reyes.

The moment the football hit the net, Wenger jumped up excitedly. Like him, there were also Arsenal's coaching staff and substitute players!Cesc Fabregas' goal put them ahead of Chelsea away on aggregate, with an away goal in hand.

This goal made Chelsea's pre-match advantage all of a sudden disappear!

Compared with the happy atmosphere on Arsenal's side, Chelsea's side was full of depression. Mourinho rushed to the fourth official with a grim expression, not knowing what he was talking about.The players on the field held their heads behind their backs and couldn't believe this scene.

This goal by Fabregas disrupted all their plans. How should they play the next game?

The celebration after the goal passed quickly and the game resumed.Without Mourinho's instructions, Chelsea's players have consciously strengthened their marking of Cesc Fabregas.

So Fabregas was alone in the midfield and attracted the attention of three Chelsea players.The pressure on other Arsenal players suddenly eased, such as Gas Baroni, such as Reyes.

Chelsea don't have many other things. They have a lot of muscular midfielders with excellent defensive ability. Once Fabregas has the ball, he will fall into the muscular jungle.

But they overlooked that Cesc Fabregas is actually a passer, not an offensive finisher!
After attracting the two defenders, Robben, who was defending Reyes, also moved closer to him, and immediately passed through the gap between the two, and then sent it precisely to Reyes' feet.

When Reyes catches the ball, there is no one in the front, back, left, or right, which allows him to play freely.He dribbled the ball and accelerated suddenly, cutting from the left to the penalty area!

Chelsea's left-back Bridge quickly came up to block, but Reyes slammed a dunk, and then passed the football across.

Torres received the ball in the middle, and then pushed with one foot!
The football arced and went slightly wide of the goal.But it also made Chelsea fans break out in a cold sweat.

This also made Chelsea understand that it is useless to double-team Fabregas alone!

Not long after, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half. In the first half, Arsenal were so powerful that they defeated Chelsea and led Arsenal 1-0 in the away game!
As soon as the whistle blew, Mourinho walked back to the locker room with a sullen face.Judging by his expression, during the intermission, the Chelsea players will definitely encounter a storm!
In the locker room, Arsenal were all smiling, and everyone praised Cesc Fabregas for his phenomenal performance; but what about the home team's locker room on the other side?

Mourinho spent the whole of the half-time break, giving Chelsea players a stormy outburst.The Chelsea players even wanted to stay outside and endure the bitter rain, and they were unwilling to face the head coach's saliva here.

"I want to see in the second half, are you guys a group of men, or a bunch of cunts!" At the end, Mourinho threw down a sentence and slammed the door away.

In the second half of the game, the rain on the stadium did not stop, it was still pattering, and the players stepped onto the stadium against the rain.

Things started off a little better in the second half, with Chelsea taking their chances and launching several dangerous attacks.Let the Chelsea fans see hope and start clamoring again.

First there was a forced break from Didier Drogba, followed by a long-range shot from Lampard on the penalty area line, which just missed the post.These two shots seem to be a good sign, and it feels like Chelsea has gradually mastered the initiative on the court.It's not too far away for them to tie the game.

But Arsenal's five midfielders immediately began to stir, including Torres who kept running and pressing in the frontcourt!Chelsea wanted to equalize the score, why didn't Arsenal want to pursue the victory?
Relying on the advantage of the number of players in the frontcourt, the Arsenal players made it difficult for Chelsea's muscular midfielders to move!
Mourinho was a little annoyed: These donkeys, what I said at halftime was all for nothing?

Arsenal's frenzied pressing strategy was effective, but after Hleb's cramp in the 60th minute, the situation began to take a turn for the worse!

Arsenal's weak lineup and lack of physical strength finally broke out!
Although they were still running, in terms of momentum, they were much worse than before.

Clichy faced Robben on the left, and Clichy, who basically restricted the opponent in the first half, suddenly felt his feet slipped when he turned around again, and the whole person fell down suddenly as if he had been tripped.

"Don't let him enter the penalty area!" Clichy saw that Drogba and Lampard were already raising their hands for the ball in the penalty area. It was too late for him to think, so he reached out and grabbed Robben and dragged him behind. ankle...

The referee's whistle blew, and Wenger became nervous. Clichy's movement was very obvious, and it was just when the opponent was about to enter the penalty area...

The referee ran to Chrissy, and then raised his left hand high!

red card!

Chrissy was fined!

"Idiot!" Wenger sat on the seat and cursed in a low voice, not sure whether it was from Chrissy or the referee.But the facts are in front of us, the left back was sent off, and Arsenal lost a left gate.Wenger had to make tactical arrangements.

Wenger looked at the team's bench. Apart from Clichy and Flamini, who can play left back, young player Alexander Song can also play a cameo!
But these people are usually used to make up numbers, but in this kind of critical battle, I am afraid they will become a time bomb for the team!
Moreover, Flamini himself started as a midfielder. It was his combination with Gilberto's midfielder in the midfield that allowed Arsenal to restrain Chelsea's muscular midfielder.Withdrawing Flamini is tantamount to self-destructing the Great Wall!
Wenger was still thinking about it, but the situation on the field waited for no one. Suddenly, Chelsea launched a long pass again, and Robben rushed from the left.Without a left-back, central defender Senderos can only push it out.But in terms of speed and physical flexibility, Senderos, who played as a central defender, was obviously not as good as Clichy, and he was knocked down within two strokes.

Robben flicked the football with his left leg and was about to shoot, when a leg stretched out from behind and happened to poke the football away. Robben tripped with his left foot and fell to the ground.

The referee raises both hands, the ball is not fouled, and the game continues!

Robben, who fell down, looked back and saw Reyes turning around and pulling Senderos up, saying: "Leave the left to me, you are still a central defender!"

Robben grinned, skeptical of Reyes' words: Is this kid crazy?A left winger wants to play as a left back?

Wenger clapped his hands in a sudden realization: "Yes, let Antonio go!"

In the World Cup and last year's UEFA Champions League final, Reyes had the experience of playing left back as a cameo, and his performance is still good.Now that the game is up, he is still running all over the field, so he is naturally the most suitable left back candidate!

Chelsea don't think so. From their point of view, a guest left-back must be worse than a full-time left-back. This position must be Arsenal's weakness.

And Reyes ran around in Chelsea's backcourt in the first half. Almost all Chelsea defenders have suffered from him. Now that Reyes is defending himself, they naturally want revenge!
Arsenal's left side immediately became the hardest hit area trampled by Chelsea's iron hooves!
