The entire Wembley Stadium became lively, and fierce cheers impacted the entire stadium.

After experiencing the baptism of the World Cup, the Community Shield, which represents the opening of the league, also officially started.

Chelsea took the lead.

After Morata kicked off, Chelsea showed a steady formation as a whole and did not press forward.

The distance between players is also extremely dense, forming an extremely tight connection in the midfield.

Sarri is a head coach who advocates offense and ground penetration. His team also focuses on short passing. Although it is not a mandatory requirement, in the opening stage, Sarri still intends to deal with Arsenal in this way.

After the pre-season warm-up match, Sarri believed that Chelsea already had enough strength. Although the control period was too short to fully invest his ideas into the team, the overall lineup was still well integrated.

Sarri has conducted research on Arsenal and he must admit that Arsenal is a very strong team.

Whether it is team structure or technical and tactical capabilities, Arsenal is one of the most winning clubs in Europe.

But Chelsea cannot be underestimated.

With the tight positioning in the midfield, Chelsea players have greater control in the midfield.

Not to mention their half.

Sarri looked at the court with confidence. He believed that for Chelsea, they only needed to get over the initial press.

Arsenal players were already rushing towards the opposite half the moment the whistle sounded.

Their pressure and pressing in the opponent's half was very strong.

This kind of pressing comes from the overall movement. It seems that one or two are pressing, but the others are not just watching, the rest are more blocking the passing route.

For this reason, under the pressure of Arsenal, Chelsea mostly started passing the ball backwards, and there was a feeling that it was unable to move forward in the midfield.

Seeing this scene, Sari also frowned slightly.

This is completely different from what he thought. Arsenal will conduct an opening press. Arsenal has a deep understanding of pressing, and Sarri knows this.

But Arsenal's performance after the opening began to worry him.

"Pass back! Pass back!"

"I'm here!"

"Give it to me! Pass it over!"

Chelsea players communicated frequently, and it was not difficult to hear some anxiety in their tone.

Every pass they pass is restricted, making it difficult to achieve stability in passing and control.

The ball rolled to Barkley's feet. As soon as he stopped the ball, there was a push from behind.

Barkley did not dare to stay and passed the ball horizontally to Jorginho. Barkley was immediately pushed out and could not stand firmly.

Nozinho observed before receiving the ball, and when he saw Giroud in front of him, he passed the ball directly back without even thinking about it.

The posture of the return pass is relaxed and freehand, and the movement is immediately followed after the return pass.

When the ball came to Nozinho's feet again, Mane rushed over again.

Noginho once again chose to pass back, this time he passed it to the full-back, and the full-back passed the ball to central defender David Silva. David Silva once again passed the ball forward to Noginho who completed the run. .

The ball kept passing back and forth in Chelsea's backcourt.

Although it is a return pass every time, it is extremely stable.

Of course, this stability is built on the tip of the knife. Once there is a mistake or interception, it will be a fatal problem.

But Nozinho's return timing and return distance are very safe.

This is the same style as when he was in Serie A.

This is the defensive midfielder known as the 'Safety Ball Master' or the 'Return Master'.

Several consecutive back passes not only brought safety to Chelsea's passing and control, but also stabilized the rhythm.

This scene also made Sarri slowly exhale, and Nozinho lived up to Sarri's expectations.

After Sarri took over as the head coach of Chelsea, the first transfer he initiated as the new coach was to poach his old club and bring his beloved Noginho from Naples to Chelsea.

It can be said that Sarri wants to train Noginho as a core player in the midfield.

Nozinho's performance in Serie A is also very good. Although he is sometimes too stable, his ability will not be questioned.

For a long time, Noginho will be compared with defensive midfielders such as Casemiro and Kroos.

Compared with the latter two, Nozinho's style of play is more simple, and return passes and safety balls are almost his trademarks.

However, this game also puts a lot of pressure on Nozinho.

He came to the Premier League and accepted Sarri's call not entirely for the high salary provided by Chelsea.

He came here to challenge himself.

In this game, right now.

Opposite, the black-haired Arsenal No. 4 is known as the number one defensive midfielder in the world.

The existence of Lucky gave Nozinho a certain desire for expression.

He wants to compete with Lucky in this game and prove himself.

For now, Nozinho feels the rhythm is good.

At least the start was extremely normal.

Although Arsenal's pressing put some pressure on him, he also continued to consume Arsenal's pressing with every pass back.

You must know that a high-position press cannot be maintained for too long.

And he can also feel that Arsenal's pressing pressure is gradually decreasing.

It can be seen that Arsenal began to become tired under the pressure again and again.

And this is Nozinho's time to fight back.

When the ball came to Noginho's feet again, he found that the previous pressure had disappeared. He could complete the turn and control the ball at his feet for two seconds before passing it to William on the wing.

William is a Brazilian player who has the same agile dribbling as Brazilian players and can provide certain offensive help for their wingers.

Nozinho believes that this is the most suitable wing for attacking after the opening.

William also turned around after receiving the ball.

However, he did not dribble forward. Instead, he looked at his teammates in front, passed the ball to center Morata, and then pulled him towards the wing, trying to hit the wall and pass Robertson directly.

But Robertson is not the kind of inexperienced full-back. The moment William passed the ball, he retreated directly towards the wing, blocking Morata's passing line.

Seeing that there was no passing line, Morata immediately turned his head and looked to the other side.

But before he could turn his head, Hummels behind him suddenly pushed forward.

Under the huge force, Morata subconsciously lowered his body and continued to protect the ball.

At this moment, a foot suddenly appeared from the right side and poked the ball out.

Morata wanted to stop it, but he found that with his center of gravity lowered to fight, he could not lift his feet at all.

He could only watch helplessly as Lucky took the ball away.

"Steal! A steal from Kai and Hummels!"

In the Sky Sports live broadcast room, Andy Gray said loudly; "The moment Kai was about to press, Hummels was also under pressure instantly. The cooperation between the two was extremely tacit, and the press was clean and neat. During the whole process, Morata did not Can protect the ball.”

"Now the ball has come to Kai's feet. Fortunately, Arsenal cannot form a counterattack."

Before he finished speaking, Andy Gray's words were choked.

He saw Lucai bending his bow and setting an arrow, and kicked the ball towards the half court.

Pass the ball?

Shot?

Under Andy Gray's surprised gaze, the ball flew high in the air across Chelsea's half and landed accurately on Giroud's running route.

Giroud resisted David Luiz for the first time.

He used his whole body to suppress the opponent, and at the same time looked up at the ball. After judging the landing point, he gently touched the ball with his left foot, completed the unloading, and then turned around and volleyed!

The ball flew towards the goal with strong spin.

With a bang and a crisp sound, the ball hit the goal post and bounced out of the baseline.

At this moment, the entire stadium was silent.

The next second came the exclamations of Chelsea fans and the regretful voices of Arsenal fans.

The commentator Andy Gray even held his head and said with a pity on his face: "The whole ball is such a pity! Kai's long pass found center Giroud. During the confrontation, Giroud completed the unloading and immediately turned around and whipped out. Shoot. David Luiz failed to restrain him effectively!"

"For Chelsea, this ball is too dangerous, or in other words, this sudden attack method makes it difficult for their defense to respond effectively. The most important thing is that Giroud is in good condition and he has the ability to score goals. Very strong desire!”
