Old Charlie's sigh was not unreasonable, or wanted to flatter George, but really from the bottom of his heart. Indeed, who could have thought that Tottenham Hotspur, who won a victory after the opening of the new season, would choose to defend and counterattack in this key battle related to the ownership of the league leader, and would get a point from Stamford Bridge Stadium as its main goal, rather than take the initiative to attack and strive for victory?

You should know that although Tottenham is now leading the standings with all five wins, it looks very glorious. But in fact, Tottenham now has the same league points as defending champion Arsenal, and it is only because of the advantage of goal difference that he can beat the Gunners in the list. Therefore, in the pre-match prediction, most people believe that Tottenham is very likely to take advantage of the seven consecutive victories and do their best to defeat Chelsea in this focus battle in the sixth round of the UK, ensuring that Arsenal will not take the opportunity to widen the gap in the standings!

However, George did the opposite. When the public generally believed that Tottenham would do his best to deal with Chelsea, he arranged everyone together. Not only did he rotate the lineup significantly, but he also sent a formation that was obviously mainly focused on defensive counterattack!

Goalkeeper Cech, the full-backs on both sides are Evra and Phil Neville, Dawson, Vidic and Ridley King, and three teams are the center backs. Welsh veteran Speed ​​and Belgian young player Kompany serve as double midfielders, Mündeta is in the center command, and Drogba and Villa are on the front line. This is the eleven players of Tottenham Hotspur in this game!

From the usual 4-3-3 to 5-4-1, George would do this, which is actually helpless. Although Tottenham defeated Bayern Munich without bloodshed in the mid-week Champions League, the players still lost a lot of physical fitness. Moreover, unlike Tottenham, which fell into the death group, almost every game, Chelsea's overall strength in the H Group H is not strong. What's more, the Blues still dealt with Paris Saint-Germain in the turbulent period in the group stage, which allowed Mourinho to focus on the weekend league and send only some of the main players to deal with the Champions League matches with Paris.

Therefore, if George lets the main players play continuously today and does not make any changes in tactical styles, then the tired Tottenham will undoubtedly have a very high probability of losing to Chelsea in this head-on finale!

So Mourinho, who was not prepared for this, naturally fell into the trap. In the Portuguese's prediction, he always believed that his junior brother would choose to go against Chelsea in this game in order to prove his coaching ability, so he set the tone of defensive counterattack.

What Mourinho did not expect was that George actually grabbed his idea accurately and used it well, allowing Tottenham to fight against Chelsea in this game without any moral integrity!

Anyone who has watched football games should be very clear that when both teams attack and defend on the court, the side that focuses on defensive counterattack can also play a passionate game. However, when both teams adopt defensive counterattack tactics and both stock up on their own half, the boredom of the game can naturally be imagined.

There is only one Ibrahimovic who is not yet mature in the frontcourt, plus Joe Cole and Duff who are moving on both wings. Chelsea wants to use this hand to tear open the heavy defense lines carefully laid by Tottenham, which is undoubtedly a dream!

After the halftime break, Mourinho, who was unwilling to get a draw at home, made certain adjustments to his appearance lineup and tactics, and replaced Goodjohansen and Kezhmann to strengthen the attack. However, facing the iron wall set up by Tottenham players in the 30-meter area in front of their goal, Chelsea's life-thinking three forwards' crazy attack tactics still failed to create many shooting opportunities.

After maturing, Ibrahimovic is indeed one of the best centers in international football. His outstanding physical fitness, delicate footwork and first-class passing vision have made the threat of the Swedish God Tower increase in geometric ranges, but now he has obviously not evolved to that level, and many aspects need to be further improved. Especially in creating goals opportunities for his teammates, Ibrahimovic often misses opportunities because of his too-showing footwork. For example, in this game with Tottenham, teammates such as Duff and Kerzman have already reached the position several times, but they have not been able to form due to Ibrahimovic's delay.

It is precisely because Ibrahimovic is not mature enough in organizational support, so Tottenham was able to drag the zero-to-zero score to the final stage of the game while rotating most of the main players. Otherwise, even if George uses the iron barrel lineup to deal with Chelsea, it will be difficult to ensure that the game can be played as he expected. A top striker like Ibrahimovic who is proficient in almost all but headers and has a free kick. It is really a arduous task to stop him from scoring.

In this way, with unexpected tactical arrangements and tenacious defense, when the final whistle sounded, Tottenham successfully escaped from Stamford Bridge Stadium, snatched a draw and a point from Chelsea and Mourinho!

What made Tottenham players feel even more excited was the latest news from another venue - while Tottenham tied Chelsea away, Arsenal also got a draw at Highbury Stadium!

Facing the visiting Bolton, Arsenal lost a good game while leading twice, and the team led by "Big Sam" Allardys stubbornly equalized the score at the last moment!

Arsenal, who had already won five consecutive victories this season, has a great hope to take the lead in the league after defeating Bolton in this round, and at the same time tied the team's record of six consecutive victories in the league set in 1947. However, the Gunners' game seemed to be affected by the mid-week Champions League match. Although their offensive in the frontcourt was still sharp, and Henry and Pire broke Bolton's goal one after another, the defense line, which had already shown signs of instability, was dazed by Bolton's simple and rough header. Especially Sigan's defensive loss at the last minute, "helped" Arsenal to lose the soon-to-be victory and three valuable points!

Campbell's importance to this Arsenal team can be seen from this. With this England international on the defense line, Arsenal never worry about the opponent playing air strikes. Once Campbell is unable to play, the Gunners' penalty area will sound the air defense alarm in almost every game!

With Arsenal accidentally tied by Bolton at home, Tottenham players who had already done their best to temporarily lose their position in the list after the game against Chelsea were surprised to find that after the sixth round of the league, the team actually played with Arsenal with five wins and one draw and 16 points, and successfully defeated the Gunners with the advantage of goal difference and continued to lead the standings!
