"From a comparison of the strength of the two teams, it should be said that Chelsea is still above Arsenal."
"Because Arsenal is in a transitional stage this season after all. They have just left two important players, Cesc Fabregas and Nasri."
ESPN Dragon TV, Zhan Jun sat in front of the screen and talked.
Young netizens watched this highlight of the Premier League London Derby in the Jiulang live broadcast room, while older fans sat in front of the TV and listened to Zhan Jun's explanation.
"This game is Chelsea's home court, so for Arsenal, if this game can be tied, it will be a very good result."
"Okay, referee Marriner blew the whistle to start the first half, and Chelsea took the lead."
"Let's introduce the starting players of both sides."
"For Chelsea, the goalkeeper is Petr Cech."
"Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Terry and Ashley Cole on the back line."
"Midfielder Ramirez, Mikel, Lampard."
"Torres is paired with Mata and Sturridge on the front line."
"In the last 'West London Derby' against Queens Park Rangers, Chelsea received two red cards and seven yellow cards."
"Referee Foy's enforcement has different opinions. Arsenal and Manchester United fans may think Foy's call is really good, but for Chelsea fans who love the Blues, killing two important players in the team at once is really too much!"
"We can see that Bosingwa is still on the field. Because there is a League Cup game in the middle of the week, his red card has been washed away, because the League Cup is also counted in the league."
"The only one who was really suspended because of this red card was Drogba."
"As for Ashley Cole's accumulated yellow cards..."
"Let's see this offense!"
"Torres..."
"Arches!!!"
“Oh oh oh~~~”
Just one minute into the game, Chelsea took advantage of Arsenal's gap on the right to penetrate their opponent.
"Pass from Ramirez!"
"The arch of Torres' foot pushed the ball slightly away."
"The one who appears in the camera now is John Djourou. Because Djourou is playing at right back, this will definitely be the direction of Chelsea's main attack today."
"Chelsea took a tactical corner kick, Lampard passed the ball to the back point, and defender Koscielny did not make the clearance far enough..."
Seeing that the Blues did not pose another threat to the Gunners' penalty area for the time being, Zhan Jun continued: "On Chelsea's bench, we can see the central defenders David Luiz, Meireles, Romeu, Malouda and
Lukaku.”
"Maluda and Kalou performed well in the Carabao Cup in midweek, but after Villas-Boas came to Chelsea, he may prefer to use Mata and Sturridge. The number of appearances of Malouda and Kalou in the league
Relatively less.”
"This is also related to Villas-Boas's tactical characteristics..."
"Hey, look at this ball!"
"well!"
"Van Persie broke through really well, but Arsenal didn't have a defensive player in the frontcourt to outflank him."
"Well...this offense is very typical."
"Arsenal has its own offensive strength, but it can be seen that the team's overall thinking is not perfect enough in this away game."
"Just like the ball just now, the breakthrough from the wing was very decisive, but the outflank in the middle came too late."
"I don't know if the players are afraid or what, but the pressure is not strong enough."
"Next, let's take a look at the situation at Arsenal."
"The goalkeeper is Szczesny."
"The defense is composed of Djurou, Koscielny, Mertesacker and Santos. Today Djurou is playing at right back."
"The two defensive midfielders are Arteta and Ramsey."
"Lei Yu still appears in the attacking lineup. In front of him are Gervinho, Arshavin and Robin van Persie."
"Judging from Arsenal's position, Lei Yu is more like a shadow striker."
"On the bench, there are Fabianski, Vermaelen, Carl Jenkinson, Frimpong, Rosicky and Park Joo-yong, who scored in the League Cup."
"Look, it's Terry's pass!"
The sound waves at Stamford Bridge rose again.
Terry's half-high ball just passed to the feet of Ashley Cole. When the opponent received the ball, Djourou, who was responsible for the defense on this side, was still seven or eight meters away from the opponent.
"Look at this cross..."
"Whoa whoa!!!"
Center back Per Mertesacker made a sliding tackle and blocked the ball out of the penalty area in front of Torres.
"See if Arsenal have a counterattack?"
"Find Gervinho..."
"Unfortunately, the ball went out of bounds."
"In this game, we mainly play the two full-backs on both sides."
"Look at Chelsea's pass just now. Because Djurou was not familiar with this position, he was immediately opened up by his opponent."
"Arsenal's defense is worrying!"
"But on the other hand, Chelsea's full-backs pressed hard."
"Looking at Ashley Cole, he had already rushed to the opponent's bottom line just now, and he also left a huge gap behind him."
"So it depends on who seizes the opportunity first and makes good use of the opponent's flaws on the wing. Whoever can break the deadlock first."
"Look at this, this time it's another wing!"
In the stadium, Lampard's through ball cut through Arsenal's defense like a scalpel. After receiving the ball, Sturridge quickly moved in from the wing.
Judging from the footage, three Chelsea players were running in a straight line in front, with four Arsenal players desperately chasing after them.
Is this 3 versus 4???
wrong!
This is obviously 3 against 1!
Three Chelsea forwards vs one Arsenal goalkeeper!
Sturridge moved forward, but whether it was because the ball was too easy or because he was careless, he obviously hesitated a step when it was time to pass the ball. Torres and Mata, who were inserted in the middle, could only watch helplessly as their teammates continued to lead the ball.
ball.
When Sturridge reacted, he failed to adjust his passing line too late and passed the ball directly into Szczesny's arms.
Chelsea's 3-on-1 opportunity in the frontcourt was wasted in this way.
Seeing this, fans from both sides were excited.
Blues fans complained that their players failed to seize opportunities, while Gunners fans criticized the players for their poor defense.
Five minutes have passed since the opening, and the Arsenal goal is full of dangers.
If the Blues' own players hadn't been unable to seize opportunities, they might have scored two goals by their opponents.
"Arsenal's defensive shortcomings today were caught too tightly by the opponent!"
"Facing Chelsea's high defense today, you must pay attention to the timing and location of offside. You cannot always let the opponent's ball penetrate your defense easily."
"And the opponent's two wingers, Sturridge and Mata, are both very flexible players. If Arsenal doesn't adjust their positioning, they won't be so lucky next time!"
During Zhan Jun's commentary, domestic fans couldn't help but clenched their fists.
They can also see that Arsenal's defense today is really weak!
The wing is like a no-man's land, leaving the opponent alone; the passes come one after another, which is scary to watch.
What is Arsenal doing?
What is Wenger doing?
Did the Gunners really give up on defense today?
Then it’s better to put Lei Yu’s position further back!
With Lei Yu's size, he can still resist Torres and prevent him from getting in!
Even though the game only lasted five minutes, there was no test from either side and the fans' hearts were tugged at every second.
Especially after seeing Chelsea create several threatening attacks in succession, the fans were even more excited.
Since Villas-Boas came to Chelsea, his own coaching style has become more and more obvious.
Based on Mourinho's anti-counterattack, Villas-Boas optimized the defensive range and location.
Facing the Blues' high-position press, many Arsenal players failed to react in time and made frequent mistakes.
Once the ball is transferred, the Blues will rush towards Arsenal's penalty area like a tide again.
So judging from the scene, Chelsea is constantly attacking.
This also echoes the home momentum.
On the sidelines of the court, the clean-shaven Villas-Boas was wearing a tight suit and clutching his waist majestically.
Looking at the exhausted Arsenal players on the court and Lei Yu who was "doing nothing" in the midfield and frontcourt, I couldn't help but snorted in my heart.
"Lei, if you were on my team at this time, you would have scored one at least!"
