Chapter 62 Are You In Love With Me? (close push and add more)
Essien had already run to the wing to make up for the position, standing behind Gallas.Mourinho knew that Gallas couldn't guard Reyes alone, so he sent Essien to help.

Reyes knew that Essien was difficult to deal with, so he slowed down and was about to make a move when a hand suddenly grabbed his shoulder, and then a leg hit Reyes' leg, pushing Reyes to the ground.

Duff appeared behind Reyes, said "tit for tat" out of his nose, turned around and left without looking at it.

The referee looked at him and didn't want to say anything, but Duff had a bad attitude. He caught up with Duff and showed him a yellow card.

Duff shrugged and left without saying anything.

Essien spread his hands helplessly. He didn't understand why Duff was so angry. Although the opponent broke through Gallas, he still blocked him, so there was no need to apply for a yellow card.Duff's "tit for tat" also confused him a little. Is this the dumb language of the Premier League?

Duff did not tell his teammates what happened after the warm-up.

Reyes was retaliated by Duff as soon as he came up, but he did not lose his spirit because of this. On the contrary, he has been planning to arouse Duff's anger again, and it is best to let him get a red card.

But this kind of opportunity does not mean that there is one, he still needs to wait patiently.

Let him find a chance, and he will definitely get the place back.

Arsenal's free kick did not pose any threat to Chelsea's goal. Terry headed the ball out and Chelsea launched a counterattack.

After receiving the ball, Lampard chose to pass the football to Robben.

Obviously, Chelsea attached great importance to Reyes' side, and the defense was very well organized.But on Hleb's side, they didn't pay enough attention to it.On the one hand, it is because Hleb has only been in the Premier League for half a season. He has not performed very well, and he is obviously still in the adaptation period. .

After Robben got the ball, Xiaofa forced him up.Robben did not try to break through the small law, he passed the ball back to Makelele who responded in the middle.

After passing the ball, Robben continued to move forward, and then Makelele passed the ball around Xiaofa again.

Eboue was the main player in the first season, and his research on the Chelsea team was insufficient. Robben wanted to cut inside, but Eboue stabbed the ball away with a beautiful ground tackle.

The football didn't fly far, Drogba rushed up and shot, but Senderos defended desperately, he interfered with Drogba's shot.

The football went wide of the goal and did not pose any threat to goalkeeper Lehmann.

"Chelsea's first shot in this game was done by Didier Drogba! His shot is very powerful, but the accuracy is not good!"

"Arsenal's defense has been very successful this time, and Eboue has been very decisive." Martin Taylor said as he glanced at Lineker out of the corner of his eye.

Lineker looked relaxed and just shrugged: It was just a successful defense.

In this game, both sides are playing their main players. Chelsea's starting goalkeeper is Petr Cech. Since joining Chelsea in 04, Petr Cech has made the goalkeeper position the most stable position.In the last season between December 2004 and March 12, he set a record of 2005 consecutive minutes in England's top league without conceding a goal.At the end of the season, with his first Champions medal, the fewest goals conceded and the most clean sheets in England's top flight, he was convincing for the Golden Glove award.

But Reyes, who traveled through time, knew that Cech actually played with a shoulder injury for as long as 14 months.

The right back is Reyes' old opponent Gallas, a French international who can play all positions in the defense.

The central defenders are Carvalho and Terry.Carvalho's playing style is more similar to that of a sweeper. He is good at outflanking, and sometimes he will lead the ball to launch a counterattack.The combination of Carvalho and Terry last season made Chelsea's defense solid, and he perfectly filled the vacancy left by Desailly's departure.And Gallas went to the wing to play full-back, and it was Carvalho's outstanding performance that forced him to the wing.

Right back Del Horno is Reyes' national team teammate, but this season's performance is not good, far less successful than his compatriots Reyes, Xiaofa and Garcia.Before the game, Reyes also took the time to greet his teammates in the national team.

In terms of midfield, Chelsea finally no longer have to worry about choosing the "third central midfielder" besides Lampard and Makelele. Essien has successfully conquered the hearts of most people.

On the forward line is Drogba, Robben and Duff are separated from the left and the right.

This starting lineup is the strongest they can come up with, and they pay enough attention to this game.Of course, this is needless to say.

Chelsea are indeed number one in the league, but Arsenal have no reason to be afraid, they have been attacking wildly since the beginning of the game.

In the 7th minute, Arsenal launched an attack again. This time, Reyes made an empty cut and made a long pass from the backcourt. The football went over Essien's head and fell behind him.This time Reyes directly faced Chelsea's right-back Gallas after receiving the football, not the more threatening Essien.

Essien turned around and rushed, Reyes would not give him such a chance to watch him accelerate towards the bottom line, taking advantage of Gallas's failure to block the opportunity in time, he kicked a cross!
The football flew past Gallas' toes, but Henry and Bergkamp, ​​who followed up in the middle, were half a step too slow to miss the ball!
After seeing this scene in the stands of Highbury Stadium, there was a huge sigh.

At that time, Chelsea's defense in the penalty area was not very strict. With the personal abilities of Henry and Bergkamp, ​​as long as one of them received the ball, they could almost score.

"This is Reyes' shining moment, but it's a pity that Henry and Bergkamp teamed up and wasted!" Martin Taylor is also very regretful, "Judging from this breakthrough cross, Reyes is in very good form today! Murray Neo's arrangement of letting Essien come over to help defend is very predictable!"

Chelsea seized this opportunity to fight back. Left back Del Horno received the ball from Robben and passed it to Makelele. Makelele then passed it to Lampard. Lampard turned around and passed directly. Robba caught the ball and entered the left side of the penalty area, and then entered Arsenal's penalty area with three passes and two downs. Chelsea's rhythm is indeed sharp, and they can always find loopholes in Arsenal's defense.

After Drogba broke into the penalty area, he kicked and shot!
Lehman fell to the ground and caught the ball.

It's not surprising that Gallas has seen Reyes' performance a lot, but Essien stared at Reyes for a long time.

Reyes made Essien feel that he was different from others, and Essien suddenly had a feeling for Reyes.

Of course it doesn't feel like that...

He just thought that his momentary mistake just now gave that Spanish boy a chance.Looking at the game in this way, he can't be given any chance at all, and he must keep up when defending.It seems difficult to defend Reyes on the side and take care of the center. Essien shook his head.

Lehman kicked off the ball with a big kick, and the football went straight to Reyes.

This time, Essien did not let Reyes move freely more than ten meters behind him. He saw Lehman kicking off and ran to Reyes' side, and then the two took off at the same time to compete for the top.

Essien is a year older than Reyes and weighs three kilograms more.But even by that little margin, Reyes felt like he hit a wall and lost the football.

The Ghanaian always followed him like a candy.

But someone who always loves sticky brown sugar, isn't that his girlfriend?

"Are you in love with me, Ghanaian?" Reyes made a joke that sent Essien shuddering.

Essien ignored Reyes' teasing, passed the ball to Makelele, and rushed along the touchline himself.

Reyes did not follow, he stayed put, waited for Chelsea's attack to be interrupted, and then played their counter-attack.Now that Essien can't come back in front, he is like a fish in water.

But Chelsea's attack was not interrupted. Makelele passed the football when he saw Essien go forward. Essien did not dribble the ball to the bottom. He knocked the football to Lampard in the middle.

After Duff saw Lampard take the ball, he pulled it from his ribs to the side. Lampard saw the direction of his running, and suddenly gave him a kick over the top!

The football flew past Jenas, who was defending him, and landed directly behind Arsenal's defense. Duff was running horizontally, but when Lampard passed the ball, he suddenly moved forward, and Cole couldn't react in time. Let go of this dangerous man.

"Beautiful pass over the top! Tore through the Arsenal defense!"

After receiving the ball, Duff made a slight adjustment, and then made a strong shot with his left foot.
