In this top-level showdown, once Arsenal's offensive is a little more radical and unrestrained, there will be obvious problems in Arsenal's defense in the middle.
Fabregas couldn't guard Lampard!
This was something that Arsenal coaching staff and team could foresee before the game.
As the European Middle Age who is expected to hit the world's number one midfielder, if you want to keep an eye on him, you need at least a world-class midfielder. With Fabregas's ability to be weak offensively attacking and defense, it is understandable that Lampard seizes the opportunity when he cannot absolutely curb Lampard's forward space.
Before re-teletting, Qin Xiong encouraged Fabregas, hoping that he would not have too much psychological burden.
Fabregas's mood has calmed down slightly. He is not a defensive player. In fact, Wenger puts him in the midfield and does not simply hope that he can replace Vieira. Vieira is unique, and in Wenger's eyes, Fabregas is also unique.
There is no comparison between the two. In fact, Fabregas hopes that he can play the role of drag-back organization like Pirlo, and further amplify Qin Xiong's offensive and forwarding ability.
In the last few minutes of the first half, the two teams did not erupt into a more threatening offensive.
Qin Xiong barely made a long-distance shot before the end of the first half. His shot was a little far away from the goal and posed no threat.
The two teams walked into the locker room with a score of 1:1.
Wenger emphasized in the locker room that in the second half, he would tear Chelsea's defense from the Chelsea left back no matter what.
In fact, Chelsea's defense is very stable. Apart from Delno, Arsenal's positional battle is almost impossible to start.
The two sides changed sides and fought again in the second half.
As soon as Qin Xiong came up, he made a fuss on the left. Chelsea probably was concerned about Qin Xiong's attack from the east and west. He was afraid that he suddenly moved the attack to the side of Yongbery, so the back line was relatively wide. Qin Xiong and Henry performed a little more complicated in the middle, but they were able to match the opponent's way around the wall.
Essin's defense against Qin Xiong was like a shadow. Qin Xiong did not get physically entangled with Essin at all. He directly passed the ball to Henry and ran to the open position beside Henry.
Carvalho and Terry probably thought Qin Xiong would go two and one with Henry, and Henry would put the ball behind Carvalho, and Qin Xiong would penetrate the ball forward to complete the threat to the goal.
But Qin Xiong ran to Henry and stopped.
Henry did not send out a straight pass, but he gently pushed the ball horizontally after Qin Xiong stopped the ball. Carvalho took a step back and immediately pushed upward, not giving Qin Xiong room to get rid of the ball.
As soon as he took a step forward, Henry immediately inserted his slanted behind him. Carvalho was frightened and found out: It was wrong! It was still two to one!
But it was not Henry who sent shells to Qin Xiong, but Qin Xiong to Henry!
His defensive prediction and rhythm were in chaos. When Henry rushed past him, neither Terry nor himself could completely block Henry.
Qin Xiong even gave him a wonderful story in front of him with a calm expression that made Carvalho almost angry!
Wear the ball!
What I wear is Carvalho's crotch, whose mind is confused!
Henry successfully counterattacked, but Chelsea's back line was dragged behind, so there was not much room left for Henry. Cech also cleverly abandoned the goal early. After Henry turned around, he found that he had no shooting angle. Cech was just one meter in front of him. Henry calmly used his right foot to slant the ball towards the bottom line again, trying to shake over goalkeeper Cech.
Henry has absolute confidence, as long as he can deduct Cech, even at zero angles!
He also has the confidence to send the ball into the goal!
Cech was very steady. He abandoned the goal, but did not rush to lose the center of gravity of the save. When Henry's foot movement was a spike, he rushed out and reached out to pull the football rolling towards him.
It was this seemingly weak hand that tweaked the ball, and the football changed slightly at the foot of Henry. He rushed forward with his left foot and touched the ball out of the bottom line!
"A world-class showdown! Cech narrowly won! Arsenal's wonderful offense almost created a scoring opportunity. Henry almost dribbled Cech. Cech calmly fell to the ground and rushed to destroy the ball, and he had not lost a corner kick to his opponent. Although this was an offensive and defensive showdown without shooting, it was a contest that truly reflected strength! This round, Cech won!"
Henry showed a hint of regret on his face, while Cech was pulled up by Carvalho and Terry touched his head to express praise.
The audience in the stands held their breath and concentrated. When they saw the duel between Henry and Cech, they felt a little suffocating.
Chelsea soon returned to the scene and organized a strong offensive.
Duff dribbled forward on the left side and immediately changed the cross-shearing direction before encountering Ebue.
His change of direction will naturally attract Fabregas's attention and restrain Fabregas' defense at the back midfielder.
When Fabregas just faced the sideways, Duff immediately passed the ball to the middle.
Lampard, who followed up, saw Qin Xiong who was posing in a defensive posture not far away.
He ran forward with a focused expression. When the football rolled, he kicked the ball directly. The football rolled over Qin Xiong. Qin Xiong could only sigh at the ball. He didn't have time to stick to Lampard as soon as possible. How could the top midfielder be easily blocked?
And Lampard's shot didn't give Qin Xiong any chance to defend.
He could only turn around and run into the penalty area to make further defense, and also pointed at Fabregas at Lampard, meaning that Fabregas was alert to Lampard's insertion in the back row.
Silva turned around and went to the guard against Drogba who responded to Lampard's pass.
But Drogba used a very arrogant way to deal with this ball.
Turn around and spike the ball in 180 degrees and rushed behind you!
The monster's eyes were cold and its whole body exuded a strong aura.
Because he knew that it was Sendros who defended him closely behind him!
Turn around and spike the ball at 180 degrees. The only difficulty is that the ball cannot touch Sendros's feet, otherwise it will be directly rebounded or refracted to other places.
As for whether Sendros took over the position after turning around, Drogba grinned in his heart: That's not a problem at all!
His spike was very good, and Sendros didn't react at all. The football rolled past Sendros' feet and rolled behind him. Sendros almost turned around in synchronization with Drogba, but when he took a step to chase the ball, Drogba's powerful body crushed directly!
It seemed as if he was using a raw tear to force him to chase the ball bit by bit!
The growth of the monster is absolutely shocking and terrifying!
Just when Drogba thought he had won, the football in front of him was destroyed by one of the feet that was flying horizontally to the ground and sliding the shovel!
The football rolled towards the Arsenal goal, and Lehmann hurriedly drove the ball out of the sideline.
Drogba sighed to the sky, extremely unwilling to accept it.
Chapter completed!
