So much so that Martin Taylor, who was commentating on this game, kept joking about Williams at the beginning. "Is it because Williams has been in such a great state recently, so I want him to rest. Cold? Williams is an iron man."
He was defeated by the cold."
"So, everyone must not underestimate the cold. The cold is a serious disease. Hahaha!!!"
After the European competition, Su Yun really felt the difficulties of a strong team. In the past, he was just envious of the personnel reserves of a strong team, but only after he became the head coach of a strong team, Su Yun was able to understand the difficulties of a strong team.
There are too many games.
January and February are very difficult.
Because many players have physical problems at this time, and there are more injuries. In addition, Chelsea has too many veterans. Veterans have more experience, but they also lack physical strength and have more injuries than young players.
Therefore, Su Yun's formation was really stretched for this match.
Deschamps is injured and Williams has a cold.
In the midfield, Su Yun had no choice but to use the old captain Dennis Wise, and then added Poyet, Lampard, and Di Matteo to play together.
In fact, Di Matteo also had some minor injuries.
But Su Yun is really worried about this strong dialogue. Now that the Chelsea midfielder is missing Deschamps and Williams, Su Yun can't worry about letting the elderly Karasic or the young Darabona play. That's why they were
Forcing Di Matteo to go into battle.
Desailly also had a cold in the defense.
In that rainy battle, apart from Williams, it was Desailly who was hit.
This made Su Yun helpless.
Facing Arsenal, Desailly, the defensive star, cannot play. There is nothing worse than this.
So the defense used the combination of Terry and Ayala.
But after the game started, Su Yun shook his head. Wise, who was sitting in the defensive midfield position, was in no shape now. At the age of 34, he was only a legend in the world.
In the duel with Bergkamp, Bergkamp was teasing him with applause.
Poyet's condition is also worrying.
"Chelsea was completely suppressed by Arsenal at Highbury. But Arsenal should also be careful. Su Yun sent the fast Hasselbaink in front. As long as Chelsea is given a chance to counterattack, Chelsea will
It creates a threat.”
In fact, it goes without saying that Wenger also knew it.
Wenger still remembers the defeat at Stamford Bridge in the last game.
So Wenger didn't know how happy he was to hear that both Deschamps and Williams could not play. Deschamps has the best awareness in the midfield. As long as he is in the midfielder position, the midfield defense is very solid. And Williams
In the past two months, the situation has been explosive.
Neither of them can play, which has greatly reduced Chelsea's midfield strength.
Wenger must teach Su Yun a lesson this time at Highbury.
After winning the Double in the 1998 season, Arsenal has been firmly under pressure by Manchester United in the past few seasons. This has made Wenger very dissatisfied. After Anelka, Overmars, Petit
After these double champions left, Wenger is also starting to build a new Arsenal.
As substitutes, Wenger bought players such as Henry, Pires and Edu.
"Pires got the ball. Panucci came to defend...Ashley Cole, he was already coming in at high speed, and he was preparing to meet Pires. Panucci was in a difficult situation. Di Matteo should have come to defend.
OK."
Arsenal's attack from the left is very unique.
Pires, a left midfielder who performed very average at the beginning of this season, is now performing better and better at Arsenal.
"Pires, he suddenly cut inside...no one came to defend, Wise came over. Pires, Bergkamp, beautiful one-two!"
Pires kicks the ball very lightly.
Watching him play is like dancing.
There is no feeling of forcedness in the kicking action, you are just enjoying the dance. Facing Wise Pires and Bergkamp, he completed a very simple one-two. Not only did Wise pass, but even the special
Went there together.
Wise was like a piece of wood, unable to block Bergkamp's passing route. He didn't even interfere with Bergkamp at all. He was completely played like a doll by Bergkamp.
Entering the penalty area, Pires simply pushed her with his right foot.
It looks like it was shot randomly.
But the ball drew a beautiful arc and rolled into the far corner of the goal.
"Pire.she!"
"goooooooooooooal!!!!!!!!"
"This goal was scored too easily. It didn't look like Chelsea's defense at all. Wise is really old, and he can't accept it anymore. He shouldn't let Pires and Bergkamp tease him so easily with this goal."
Martin Taylor shook his head.
Wise's condition declined too quickly.
It's so fast that it's unbelievable.
Wise is really old. The era of Wise who was the arrogant man at Chelsea is over.
"Pires! Robit Pires!!!"
The commentators at Highbury loudly cheered Pires' name.
Pires raised one hand high and then slowly ran towards the corner. His celebrations were very chic.
Of course this is Su Yun's opinion.
Just the last time he saw Pires, Su Yun was still laughing at Pires. Unexpectedly, half a season later, Pires is already so outstanding and has become a king on the left. And the man who cooperates with him is
Shri Cole is even more outstanding.
Ashley Cole is a young player who came out of Arsenal's youth academy.
This season, he pushed Sylvinho on the bench. Then he rose to the top and became the main player at Arsenal's left back.
There are many rookies appearing in the Premier League this season.
But only two people get the most attention.
They are all local young players.
They are all on this court now.
One is Ashley Cole of Arsenal, and the other is John Terry of Chelsea.
But speaking of which, Terry has not yet fully occupied the main position. And it is only in the learning stage. In addition, England has no shortage of good players at the central defender position, including the old and strong Adams, Keown, and Campbell, who is in great form.
, Southgate.
The new generation of central defenders Ferdinand and Woodgate are also indispensable.
Each of these people is now a hundred times more powerful than Terry.
His reputation is many times better than Terry's.
So Terry doesn't count.
But Ashley Cole is different.
England has always lacked left-wing players, including left-backs and left-midfielders. In recent years, England's left-wing position has been guarded by Saux, but since Saux became old, this position has really been hard to find.
Some good players.
Finally, Sunderland's Michael Gray played for a period of time as the main player for the national team.
Su Yun coached Michael Gray.
This is a very good player.
is very good.
He has a good personality, is very popular, and has a wide circle of friends in the Sunderland locker room. It was also because he came from the Sunderland youth training camp. So he was awarded the position of second captain by Su Yun. But in terms of strength, it is really not enough to become a football player.
The main left back of a powerful country.
But there is no way.
There are no good left-backs in England.
So the big guy was pulled out, and Michael Gray was pulled out.
Now that Ashley Cole has emerged, it can be said that it has shocked the entire British football world. Ashley Cole, who is only 20 years old, has become Arsenal's main left back since he became the main force.
A huge topic.
Su Yun was really impressed when he saw people like Ashley Cole, Pires, Ljungberg, Vieira and Henry.
Wenger's vision is really good.
Among these people, except for Pires, Vieira and Henry were extremely unsuccessful in Serie A. They could not even play the main position, but they were poached by Wenger to Arsenal. Vieira became the best defender in the world.
As one of the waist, Henry also gradually showed his killer qualities.
When Ljungberg came, English football was in a state of confusion.
Who is Ljungberg?
But now there is no one in English football who does not know Ljungberg.
Coupled with Anelka, Petit and Wenger who left before, the ability to turn stone into gold is really too great.
It can be said that Wenger is very powerful.
On the other hand, we can see the development of Arsenal’s scouting system.
Looking at the fierce Pires on the left, Su Yun suddenly felt envious. Although Chelsea's current scouting system is much better than Sunderland, it lags behind Arsenal. Especially in
France.
Wenger relied on his connections in France to easily acquire French players.
France is the trend now.
As the French national team has won the World Cup and the European Cup in succession, the number of good players in French football is also booming. Not only that, with the development of African football, African players will generally choose the Ligue 1 league.
The French Ligue 1 is a treasure trove that has not yet been fully explored.
There are many good players with good quality and low price.
But it is difficult for a club like Chelsea, which has no connections in France, to understand the current situation of French players.
what a shame.
So Su Yun raised his head and looked at Wenger next to him.
"Steve, tell our people. We will also follow up on any players Wenger is interested in in the future."
Clark was stunned.
I didn't understand what it meant at first. But I soon understood it, so I couldn't help laughing.
"Su, you are really..."
Su Yun shook his head.
"In terms of scouting system and personal connections, we are far inferior to Arsenal. Especially among French players, we are at an absolute disadvantage. Sometimes following others is also a strategy. Although we do not have enough personal connections in France
, but as long as we keep an eye on Arsenal’s scouts, we will have a chance to compete for a few.”
It’s not bad to learn from other people’s great things.
In the current Premier League, Houllier and Wenger are both French coaches. They have deep connections in France and have poached many people from Ligue 1.
Compared to them, Su Yun didn't even have any connections in France.
Su Yun can't watch so many high-quality and cheap players in Ligue 1 go to Arsenal and Liverpool. Chelsea also wants to grab a few.
Keeping an eye on Wenger is a good idea. (To be continued...)
