However, even if the prince now appreciates Cesc Fabregas as a national team member, he cannot bring this attitude into the game. In a duel involving life and death, the prince must not let other emotions influence him.
Looking at Arsenal's lineup now, and comparing it with the undefeated team in 2004, I really feel that the Gunners have fallen since Henry left Barcelona. Arsenal no longer have any top stars that they can use. In order to build that broken stadium
, Wenger is a little stubborn.
In the forward position, Robin Van Persie is not the Robin King who became popular later. Now he is still racking his brains to fight for a main position. So far this season, he has only contributed two goals to the Gunners, which is very inefficient.
Pitiful
Adebayor can be trusted. He currently ranks third in the Premier League scorer list with 20 goals, only behind the explosive Cristiano Ronaldo and golden boy Torres. It should be said that Adebayor is indeed a qualified player.
forward, but how can one person play the leading role in the forward line? Compared with Henry's era, this forward line is really civilian enough.
Cesc Fabregas should be regarded as the most capable player of the Gunners, but Cesc Fabregas is not a god. He cannot save the arsenal that is gradually declining. Eight years without a championship is proof that in addition to Cesc Fabregas, midfielder Rosicky is also a good player.
player, but now he is injured again,
This game can only be used to deliver ammunition to the Gunners in the stands. Look at the other players, Flamini, Kolo Toure, Hleb... these can only be regarded as civilian players, and the others, even civilian players
It doesn’t even count. How can such a lineup win the Premier League championship?
However, Wenger is still very clever. With such a lineup, Arsenal firmly occupied the top position in the standings for most of the season. It was not until the first two rounds that they were surpassed by Chelsea, who were extremely brave because they had the prince. Manchester United also
I caught up with great stamina and am still in third place now.
In the first round match between the two teams this season, Chelsea's old player Gallas scored in the 45th minute against his old club. As a result, Chelsea lost 0-1 at the Emirates Stadium. Wenger relied on this civilian lineup to perform well.
It humiliated Abu, a wealthy man who spent countless amounts of money.
Before this game, Abramovich, a restless old man, offered a huge reward. As long as Chelsea can win the game at home, each person will receive a reward of 300,000 euros. If he leads by one goal, he will get another 50,000 euros. If he can get a reward
10:0 bloodbath, then Abramovich would not mind spending 20 million to make the players happy
Every Arsenal player who heard the news was about to cry. Why don't they have such a generous chairman? They are all football players. Why can those Chelsea players get a lot of bonuses, but they don't?
It's really unfair to have to live on that little salary.
But no matter how much the players complained, it was useless. Arsenal still went its own way, and even did not pay out the pitiful rewards. They are really people who are used to being poor.
Arsenal's current situation is not good. It was during this period that they were surpassed by Chelsea and Manchester United. In the last 5 league games, they had 1 win and 4 draws, scoring 6 goals and conceding 4 goals. Although they have been unbeaten for 14 rounds,
The recent 4 consecutive draws have not only put Arsenal in a deep crisis. The Gunners' misfortune started when Eduardo broke his leg in Birmingham. Without the Croatian international, Adebayor didn't know how to survive.
A goal was scored in the league. Although Robin van Persie has returned, the Dutchman has been recovering from his injury for many days. The cooperation between the two has become a lot rusty. If they want to regain their former shadow, it seems that it will take a period of time to get used to it.
Although Walcott, Bendtner and other young players have repeatedly come to the rescue in critical situations and have received strong support from coach Arsene Wenger, they have not yet shown the ability to decide the game like Cesc Fabregas and others. Due to injuries,
Wenger indeed has no cards to replace. Perhaps this is the price of youth. Now there is only one statistic that can give Arsenal fans some psychological comfort, and that is Arsenal's away results are pretty good, with 7 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss in 14 games.
Scored 25 goals and conceded 12 goals, the fewest losses among Premier League teams...
If you say who Arsenal fears the most in the Premier League, I'm afraid the answer is Drogba. In recent seasons, he has always been able to find the feeling in games against the Gunners. Last season, he single-handedly snatched away the League Cup trophy.
Tonight at Stamford Bridge, with the help of Prince Wang, Warcraft is likely to perform the same good show again.
If Drogba was accurate against Arsenal in the past, it was mainly due to the presence of rookie defender Senderos, but now Arsenal has two great players, Toure and Gala, in the defense. Countless Arsenal fans have claimed that
, the weak defense line in the past will no longer exist, and the team will be in the best condition to defend Drogba, the African elephant king. However, in the eyes of professionals, the Gunners fans are undoubtedly talking nonsense.
It’s easy to put this into perspective, if the Elephant King completely destroys Arsenal’s back line again, they will die of shame.
There is another highlight of this game, that is, Chelsea's old player Gallas faced his old club Gallas. At the last moment of the summer transfer market in 2006, he swapped clubs with English left-back Ashley Cole and transferred to Gallas.
Before the meeting, it was reported that Gallas had threatened to score an own goal in the game in order to leave Chelsea. This game was Gallas' first return to Stamford Bridge after leaving Chelsea.
Before the game, Chelsea fans claimed that Gallas would be greeted with boos from the audience at Stamford Bridge. However, Gallas did not refute these fans' claims. He continued to train and train in a low-key manner.
Just when the media was hyping this game before the game, Manchester United had already defeated Liverpool 3:0 at their home court and won the double red club. Now they have overtaken Chelsea by 1 point in the standings. If this game
If Chelsea cannot win the game, then the top spot that Chelsea has not yet secured will be surrendered.
The starting lineups of both sides in this game are not much different from the previous media predictions. Arsenal still has the same old lineup. The goalkeeper is Prince's fellow countryman, but Almunia has no place in the star-studded Spanish team. In fact, Spain and
Saint Cassie's goalkeepers for a period of time were very tragic. As long as Saint Cassie is free from illness and disaster, then they will have no chance to start.
On the back line, Gallas, Toure, Clichy and French maverick Sagna started the game. This defense combination is also Arsenal's most stable defense combination. As long as it is not rotated, this combination is basically unbeatable.
The strength of the defense can be said to be among the top in the Premier League. In the first 30 rounds of the league, it only conceded 29 goals, only more than Chelsea and Manchester United.
The strength of the midfielder led by Cesc Fabregas is not so obvious. Although the Belarusian Hleb has secured his main position, his performance this season is not ideal; a strong waist like Flamini is Arsenal's
It is necessary, but the offensive ability of this veteran is very limited, and he is basically unable to provide strong support to Fabregas; Ebou, an Ivory Coast player, also started today. He usually plays as a right back. After Rosicky was injured,
, he just took this position as a substitute, it’s hard to imagine what kind of performance he will have.
There is no problem with the forward's starting lineup. The combination of Van Persig and Adebayor is also a test for Chelsea's defense, but relatively speaking, it should not be a big problem.
For Chelsea, Grant made certain changes, abandoning the original 451 formation and replacing it with 361. In front of course is Arsenal's most feared elephant king Drogba. Facing Arsenal, even if Drogba is injured, Grant will
They may order him to play even though he is injured. As long as he is on the court, he is a deterrent, not to mention that Drogba is now in good condition with no illness or injury.
The back line was composed of Carvalho, Terry and Ashley Cole. Belletti was unable to play in this game due to a slight injury. Grant simply arranged a three-back defense line, so that the control of the midfield would be
More perfect…
The midfielder is relatively bloated, and a natural six midfielder is relatively rare in the game, but once this formation is adopted, the advantage of the midfielder will be very great. Essien is in the defensive midfielder, Joe Cole and Malu
Da serves as a wing midfielder, Ballack and Lampard serve as midfielders at the same time, and Prince is a free man in the frontcourt.
This arrangement was also a waste of time for Grant. Ballack has been in his best form recently. It would be a pity if he could not play. It would not be such a waste. And Lampard is also in excellent form, so there is no reason to be a waste.
Substitute So, such a six-midfield formation appeared. Of course, this is just an attempt by Grant. If it can really solve the problem of Ballack and Lampard coexisting, then he will not mind using this formation in the future.
The three players Ballack, Lampard and Gerrard have similar styles. You must know that in the England team, the problem of Lampard and Gerrard coexisting has stumped all previous English coaches and countless others.
England fans have stumped countless brick-and-mortar fans. If this problem can be solved in Grant's hands, then Grant will be famous for this reason alone.
In fact, Grant is really a little uneasy. It does take a certain amount of courage to risk using a three-back formation in such an important game. If the midfield can control it well, then this may not be a problem, but the current situation is
Chelsea has no organized midfield, so more people are needed to compete for the midfield. If the competition in the midfield is really unfavorable, then Chelsea's back line will definitely not be able to withstand Arsenal's impact.
