At 11 o'clock in the evening, referee Stephen Lodge blew the whistle to start the game.
Chelsea kicks off.
Stamford Bridge stadium burst into huge cheers.
But they were not happy for long.
Lin Supo knocked Zola down with one kick and successfully stole the ball.
“Shhhhhh!
!”
"Shh!"
Director Zhang chuckled and said: "The atmosphere at Stamford Bridge is really good today. They should treat the game like a derby."
"may be."
Duan Xuan said: "It is not normal for Chelsea to regard Arsenal as their derby opponent. The results of the two teams are too different. Arsenal won the double championship last season."
"Well, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are the biggest rivals. Chelsea can barely count as a London derby. The atmosphere of the North London Derby between Arsenal and Tottenham is very hot."
"Yes, it is said that Arsenal was originally not involved in the expansion of League One. Arsenal was ranked fifth in League Two, but after their chairman's operation, Arsenal was successfully promoted, and Tottenham, which should not have been relegated, was relegated.
After that, the two teams never dealt with each other."
"Gu Di gave it to Lin Supo. Let's take a look."
Lin Supo took the ball and rushed towards Di Matteo.
Di Matteo didn't take it seriously at first.
Wait until the two people make physical contact.
DiMatteo only felt that his body was attacked by a huge force, as if he had been hit by an 80-mph truck.
The unprepared Di Matteo was knocked over directly.
The referee didn't say anything either.
Lin Supo also discovered something.
That is, the Premier League is very tolerant of physical contact, which is a good thing for him.
While Desailly stretched out his feet.
Lin Supo passed a direct pass to Bergkamp in front.
Bergkamp took the ball and turned around and dunked it. When Leboeuf stretched out his foot, Bergkamp pulled across and immediately volleyed.
boom--
The ball was saved out of bounds by Chelsea De Houye.
"Arsenal's corner kick, Chelsea should be careful."
"If they give Lin Supo a chance, they will lose the ball. Lin Supo's header hit rate is very exaggerated without defense."
"It's impossible to relax your defense against Lin Supo. Zhang will guide you to see how many people are around Lin Supo."
Lin Supo stood at the front.
There were people in front, back, left and right.
Even goalkeeper De Gouye chose to stand by his side.
He has indeed scored a header in a multi-person defense situation before.
But the defense was basically not very tight, giving him a little space to run and jump.
Normally, he doesn't have that good jumping ability.
After Dixon took a run-up, he drove the ball forward.
Lin Supo ran out quickly.
Chelsea's defenders ran with him.
Anyone who has watched the game video knows Lin Supo’s habit.
First run outside to take away the defensive player, and then rush into the penalty area.
Occasionally, there are times when he headers the ball directly near the penalty area line.
So they planned to follow Lin Supo all the way without giving him any chance.
But as Lin Supo ran outside the small penalty area, Chelsea's defensive players realized something was wrong.
Because Lin Supo had no intention of rushing back.
The ball also flew to the front point.
Pettit suddenly rushed out and flicked his head at the near post, sending the ball into Chi Chi's goal.
The first attack at the opening.
Arsenal scored.
There were even louder boos at Stamford Bridge.
"Pettit!
!”
"Goal scored!
!
!”
"Arsenal scored first in just 1 minute and 20 seconds."
"A corner kick opportunity. I believe everyone can see this ball clearly. Lin Supo took away the defensive player at the front point. Petit suddenly rushed out and headed the ball."
"Looking at the smile on Lin Supo's face, it's like saying you should defend and follow me, I still have teammates."
"Lin Supo really played an important role in this corner kick attack."
After the goal, Pettit rushed to the small penalty area, hugged Lin Supo and said: "Man, you did a great job."
"It's up to you to grab some yourself."
Lin Supo said with a smile: "If you don't grab the point, you can't score the goal."
"I like you as a guy."
Petit hugged Lin Supo and walked back together.
A humble and generous teammate who can also speak French.
There's no French player that wouldn't like it.
Wearing a crisp suit, Wenger looked at the field and kept nodding.
I had my eye on Lin Supo before.
Isn't it just because of Lin Supo's intimidating power?
This ball explains it all very well.
Even if it is strictly guarded.
Lin Supo can still contribute to the team.
Chelsea made a mistake. Lin Supo is an important player for Arsenal, but he is not Arsenal's only player.
After the game restarts.
Completely into Arsenal's rhythm.
Although there is no saying that midfielders dominate the world.
But Arsenal's performance vaguely fits this statement.
The midfield partnership of Vieira and Pettit has a perfect understanding of each other and is excellent both offensively and defensively. It is also an important cornerstone of Wenger's rise during his first arrival at Arsenal.
Vieira is still a bit green now.
His eldest brother Petit is the boss of the midfield.
It was difficult for Chelsea's attack to break through the French midfielder's defense.
After the goal, Arsenal still did not defend, but instead pressed Chelsea.
This kind of scene is obviously not what Chelsea fans want to see.
The Stamford Bridge stadium, which was originally full of passion, also fell into silence.
In the 25th minute, Di Matteo found Laudrup with a long pass. Laudrup dribbled the ball and kept looking for opportunities in front of the penalty area.
Wait for the moment he passes the ball.
Martin Keown stretched out his foot to complete the steal.
Keown quickly drove forward with a big kick.
Guti received the ball on the left and made a long pass into the penalty area.
Chelsea's backcourt is quite empty.
Lin Supo leaned against Michael Dewberry and pushed the ball to his feet with his chest.
Immediately afterwards, he hit the ball into the penalty area with a back heel.
Bergkamp, who was well prepared, rushed into the penalty area to get the ball.
Without waiting for the opponent's defender to make a move, he immediately pulled him horizontally, stepped out of the angle, and fired a volley.
boom--
The ball hit the lower left corner of the goal with great force.
"Goal scored!
!”
"Bergkamp, 2:0, Arsenal is already leading by two goals."
"Lin Supo played a strong role in this offense again. He directly provided an assist."
"Yes, especially having the ball with your opponent behind you is very important. It gives Bergkamp a chance to rush forward."
"Well, although Lin Supo hasn't scored a goal today, he has performed really well in supporting his teammates. The relatively few assists in the national team before may be due to the average ability of the Chinese team players."
"When he arrived at Arsenal, he immediately provided several assists."
Chelsea fans are going to cry.
They also felt Desailly's mood.
Although Lin Supo didn't score a goal.
But both goals had a lot to do with him.
Especially when he takes the ball behind his back, waits for his teammates, and then provides assists.
It looks familiar.
Do you really want to destroy the entire Premier League defense line?
