With the referee's whistle, this London strong dialogue begins. Fastest update
Arsenal and Chelsea have both changed a lot compared to last season. Even Chelsea has undergone obvious changes compared to the beginning of the season. Su Yun began to slowly correct Solin and replaced the aging Le Saux on the left with Sorin.
.
After nearly two months of getting along, Su Yun became more and more satisfied with Solin.
Although there are some problems with Solin's positioning, as a full-back, Solin can use his tireless running and his speed to make up for these problems. What Su Yun wants is Solin's running ability.
.
In Chelsea's current style of play, assists from full-backs are particularly important.
Le Saux can no longer adapt to Chelsea's new style of play.
Su Yun also replaced Wise in the midfield with 30-year-old Di Matteo.
Wise's temper is really much better now.
This bad boy who was considered by Ferguson to be "creating conflicts in an empty house" has lost his temper a lot as he has grown older.
The current Chelsea midfield combination is Lampard on the left, Deschamps in the center, Williams on the right, and Di Matteo is somewhat advanced.
The age of Chelsea's midfielder has dropped a lot in one fell swoop.
And the biggest change today is that Eto'o came on instead of Hasselbaink.
There are also big changes on Arsenal's side.
Because Arsenal sold two of their main players, Overmars and Petit, for more than 40 million in the summer. After Anelka, Wenger made another move that was the envy of all Premier League teams.
Big deal.
As a replacement, Wenger bought his fellow countryman Robert Pires.
Pettit's defensive midfielder position was handed over to veteran Parlor.
Arsenal's midfield combination in this game is Pires, Vieira, Parlor and Ljungberg.
At the beginning of the game, Arsenal, playing away from home, quickly took the initiative. Like the previous games, Chelsea lined up Lampard, Deschamps and Williams behind Di Matteo.
Three people.
In fact, Arsenal's style of play is the most typical defensive counterattack.
It's just that Arsenal's style of play is beautiful, with a lot of coordination, passing, and technical players, so people have an illusion. Arsenal plays offensive football.
Actually not.
In fact, Arsenal plays the most outstanding defensive counterattack in the Premier League and even Europe.
It's a pity that I met Chelsea today.
Arsenal's attack involuntarily moved forward. Parlor stayed back, and then Vieira ran forward and back in the midfield to organize Arsenal's attack.
"Vieira...Ljungberg. Lampard has already caught up with Ljungberg. Ljungberg was guarded by Lampard and Solin and handed the ball back to Vieira in the middle...
Vieira, gave the ball to Bergkamp... Bergkamp gave the ball to Vieira again."
As Chelsea players continue to work together, Chelsea's defense is becoming stronger and stronger.
Even after Bergkamp got the ball, he couldn't find many openings for offense.
Deschamps is originally the top defensive midfielder in the world. Coupled with the cooperation of Chelsea's back line, it is too difficult to find space.
Even Vieira is having a hard time.
Although Di Matteo will not retreat so deep when defending, he will return to the midfield to defend. He keeps pestering Vieira. Di Matteo is not a player who cannot defend. This
He is a player who can attack well and defend well.
Vieira saw that Bergkamp, the biggest threat in the frontcourt, was being defended by Deschamps and Desailly and had little space, so he handed the ball to Pires on the left.
Pires is a player who just arrived at Arsenal this season.
However, Pires' performance in the first three games was not very good. Although Wenger said that Pires is the most talented player he has ever seen, Pires did not show his strength.
"Vieira... Pires, Pires got the ball!"
After Pires got the ball, he walked to the left. Williams immediately came over.
Who is Pires?
Williams doesn't know.
But Williams remembers what Su Yun said. Pires is six million pounds, and you are fourteen million pounds. If you let Pires go, you will really lose more than ten million pounds.
.
Williams took those words to heart.
Seeing Pires coming over, Williams quickly pounced over, staring closely at the ball at Pires' feet.
Pires did not stand up to Williams, but was about to go to the outside line. But just as he made a move from the outside line, he was directly tackled by Panucci who rushed up from behind.
Panucci is definitely one of the best right backs in the world.
I have been in Serie A and La Liga. Now after arriving in the Premier League, I don’t feel any discomfort at all. I have quickly adapted to the rhythm of the Premier League.
The timing of the kick is very accurate.
Without giving Pires any time to react, he made a sudden tackle and scooped the ball down.
Very accurate, no foul at all.
"Pires lost the ball. Pires is a very agile player, but after arriving at Arsenal, he felt that his feet were a bit heavy. And he did not adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League. This ball should not have been lost so easily."
Mortensen shook his head.
Neither of the two players Wenger introduced this season has fully adapted to the Premier League game.
Including Pires and Wiltord.
Williams reacted quickly. He immediately stepped forward to get the ball. After taking the ball for two steps, Williams passed the ball to Di Matteo in front.
In fact, Chelsea's running is very special.
After stealing the ball, Lampard on the left quickly stepped in, and Di Matteo also gave up entangled with Vieira and immediately started running. Williams' pass happened to be in Di Matteo's running route.
among.
Di Matteo saw the ball coming while running but did not stay to stop it because Parlor had already taken his position.
Therefore, Di Matteo quickly handed the ball to Zola. Zola did not stop the ball and directly passed it to Eto'o in front.
The passing speed is very fast.
In just a few kicks, the ball was delivered to Eto'o's feet.
But it didn't actually pose any threat.
Because when Eto'o got the ball, Arsenal's defense had no loopholes except for being a little forward. Adams and Keown were fully positioned in front of Eto'o.
Adams?
Keown?
What do these two old guys do?
Is it awesome?
Eto'o, who is just starting out and is very ambitious, has been firmly put on the bench by Su Yun in these games. This makes Eto'o hold his breath all the time. He wants to prove that he is not a waste. She is no better than that Hase
Erba was weak and wanted to prove it to Su Yun. Looking at Adams and Keown in front of him, Eto'o didn't feel the slightest bit nervous.
Adams and Keown are nothing more than bird eggs.
If he hadn't come to the Premier League, Eto'o wouldn't even know these two old guys.
Su Yun told Eto'o before the game.
If you want to use technology to defeat Adams and Keown, it is simply impossible. In the Premier League, if you want to use technology to defeat Adams and Keown, basically no forward can do it. Because Adams and Keown are extremely experienced defenders.
There is only one way to deal with them.
It's speed.
Because they are older, their explosive power is not as good as before.
"Eto'o got the ball... He had very few chances to get the ball in this game... He doesn't have many chances now..."
In Mortensen's opinion, this opportunity to counterattack was wasted.
Because the counterattack was sudden.
However, Arsenal's defense was not in chaos, and Chelsea's offensive power was not in place. They could only switch to positional warfare.
Everyone thinks so.
But what happened next shocked them.
After Eto'o got the ball, he didn't reorganize the attack as people imagined. Instead, he suddenly moved the ball forward and then accelerated.
"Eto'o! Eto'o! His speed is amazing, and his explosive power is even more amazing. Adams and Keown were a step late, and they failed to close the door successfully."
"Eto'o! He actually rushed in between Adams and Keown. He broke in! He actually broke in!"
Really amazing.
Eto'o forced his way between Adams and Keown, but unexpectedly he actually broke in.
Adams and Keown have lost all face.
It was really because they themselves did not expect Eto'o to make such a choice, so the reaction was a little slow, but just a moment was enough for Eto'o. He ran through the small space between Adams and Keown.
past.
No one thought that Eto'o's explosive power would be so strong.
No one expected Eto'o to be so fast.
"Wow! Eto'o, Eto'o! He reminds me of Ronaldo! Reminds me of Ronaldo's breakthrough!"
After breaking through Adams and Keown, Eto'o faced Seaman directly.
"He-Man, He-Man is already out."
"Eto'o...he passed Seaman. It was an empty goal! It was an empty goal!"
"goooooooooooal!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Eto'o! Young Eto'o! Nineteen-year-old Eto'o! Eto'o, who Chelsea introduced for 8 million this season! He scored a goal in the game he played for Chelsea. He played
It's through Arsenal's main door."
"Beautiful! So beautiful! Eto'o used his personal ability to score the first goal for Chelsea. Adams, Keown, and Seaman, you were completely fooled by a 19-year-old kid.
Adams, Keown, you are really embarrassed. How could you let Eto'o complete such a goal?"
Martin Taylor spoke very quickly.
"Eto'o, who has eight million pounds, has had a smooth start at Chelsea."
Good luck!
If Eto'o heard what Andy Gray said, he would definitely say this.
During this period of time, Eto'o was very depressed on the bench. That anger had been suffocating in his heart, and he finally let out a breath today.
So he shouted excitedly.
He ran over to face the bounced ball and slapped her hard. He looked at Arsenal's old goalkeeper Seaman, who is also England's national goalkeeper, with contempt.
Then he opened his arms and ran towards the North Stand of Stamford Bridge. The North Stand of Stamford Bridge is also known as the Matthew Harding Stand, in memory of the former Vice Chairman of Stamford Bridge who died in the plane crash. That is, the one who was still called after his death.
The man Bates cursed as the devil.
The Matthew Harding Stand is the Chelsea die-hard stand.
Although it is not as famous as Old Trafford, Anfield, and Highbury, it is a very famous stand in Chelsea.
"Eto'o! Eto'o! Eto'o!"
It doesn’t matter if you didn’t know Eto’o before. One goal made Chelsea fans immediately remember his name.
The fans in the North Stand were even more crazy.
The crazier the fans are, the happier Eto'o is. He stretches out his arms and keeps shouting.
"The King of London! The King of London! We are the King of London!" (To be continued...)
