In the 64th minute of the game, Chelsea equalized the score.
Both sides are in the same body.
"Champions, we are champions!"
"We are the kings of London!"
"Arsenal, die!"
Chelsea fans are really excited. If they lose, the gap between the two sides will be only seven points. Of course, if they draw, the gap between the two sides will still be ten points.
very.
In the eyes of Chelsea fans, this is a very safe gap.
They would be even happier if they won. But they can also accept a draw.
So they kept cheering for Chelsea.
Of course Arsenal are not soft persimmons.
It's just that they never dreamed that Chelsea would have such a change in the midfield.
In the second half, they were defeated by Chelsea's strong attack from the left. Arsenal have always been very proud of their attack from the left. Therefore, whether in the Premier League or the Champions League, they have always attacked. Even Manchester United met Arsenal.
When playing on the right side, you are more likely to choose to defend.
Therefore, they never thought that Chelsea would choose the left as their attack point. This is a blind spot.
It's very strong and everyone should avoid it.
This is not only the thinking of many Arsenal opponents, but also the thinking of Arsenal players themselves. Of course, some small teams may have played Arsenal on the left, but their strength cannot be compared with Chelsea.
Therefore, when Chelsea attacked Arsenal's left wing, the Arsenal players panicked.
This should also be regarded as the element of surprise in the art of war, to attack someone unprepared.
The stronger the place, the more relaxed their defense will be. Because they think that their side is strong and no one will attack it. But Su Yun took advantage of this mentality of theirs.
Of course the results are gratifying.
Chelsea took advantage of this breakthrough to create a free kick to equalize the score.
After Kewell scored, Arsenal also strengthened its defense on the left.
Wenger did not choose to go head-on like Su Yun.
His choice was completely opposite to Su Yun. Su Yun forced Arsenal's left flank, but Wenger adopted a conservative strategy.
Recycle slowly.
But Su Yun was very dissatisfied.
It should be said that Su Yun was very angry at Wenger's choice.
Although Wenger adopted a strategy of recycling, it was definitely not because Wenger was afraid of Chelsea. Wenger adopted recycling, but for a better counterattack. Any giant in Europe would be afraid of Arsenal's counterattack. Su Yun understood it immediately
Wenger's idea.
Su Yun thought about it for a while.
Show stability to the team.
Wenger is not in a hurry, and Su Yun will not be in a hurry either.
draw.
Although it is not the most ideal result, Su Yun can accept it.
A draw is ten points.
very.
A gap of ten points is still a safety line. Su Yun is completely acceptable.
But Wenger must not accept such a result.
Su Yun wants to see how long Wenger can take it back. Can you endure it, or can I?
Two consecutive years of failure also made Su Yun understand something.
The more important the game, the less you should be anxious. Especially if a coach is anxious, the team will also be anxious. The head coach is the soul of a team.
Therefore, Su Yun made Chelsea stable.
Don't rush to attack.
Then he sat on the bench and watched the game calmly.
The game passed by minute by minute.
Soon, seventy minutes of the entire game had passed.
Wenger couldn't help but stood up. He looked at Su Yun on the other side and frowned slightly. The young coach who lacked experience and was careless and impatient in important games began to mature.
Just like last season.
In fact, even if they lose to Manchester United, Chelsea still has great hope of winning the championship. Because Chelsea's schedule is far more favorable than Manchester United.
But it was precisely because the hope was so great that the young coach Su Yun could not remain calm.
And Su Yun's impatience is also reflected in Chelsea's players.
Misjudgments are normal in games.
Even in a high-profile game, there is a possibility of misjudgment. Didn't Maradona's Hand of God go undiscovered back then? It was the World Cup that attracted much attention.
But Chelsea's young players can't stand the excitement.
Like Su Yun, his impatience is clearly visible.
So the final result was that Su Yun was sent off and Terry was also sent off. The good situation last season was also lost.
It's all because Su Yun is too young and lacks experience.
However, Wenger knows that last season's failure also gave the young coach Su Yun a little more calmness. He is no longer the impatient coach in important games.
Look at Chelsea now.
Take your time.
Play slowly with Arsenal.
This man has matured. The Premier League will be increasingly difficult in the future.
Wenger couldn't accept a draw.
He wants to step up his attack.
So Wenger started to push the players forward. He wanted to attack. He wanted to win.
Seeing Wenger's adjustment, Su Yun smiled. Now I have the advantage, not Wenger. I have a ten-point advantage.
The so-called waiting for work in leisure is Su Yun's situation.
Su Yun immediately replaced Zola with Parker.
Defense?
It's defense, it's not defense.
Since it was Arsenal attacking, Su Yun had to let them out completely. This would also give Chelsea more space to counterattack.
Wenger saw what Su Yun was thinking.
Wenger also hesitated.
With Parker, Chelsea's midfield defense has added another layer.
The game continues to grind out.
Time always goes the fastest.
Soon the time was up to the 80th minute. Neither Chelsea nor Arsenal scored again.
Both sides played cautiously.
Another three minutes passed.
The game lasted eighty-three minutes.
"Cole, handed the ball to Pires... Pires passed the ball to Vieira in the middle."
Because the defense is very tight.
After Parker came on the field, Chelsea's midfield defense improved. Su Yun compressed the space in the backcourt, denying Arsenal enough space to pass and pass.
Therefore, Pires did not find any space and could only hand the ball to Vieira in the middle and continue the attack.
However, before the ball reached Vieira's feet, it was intercepted by midfielder Williams.
"Williams. He reacted very quickly...he stole the ball in midfield!"
At the 80th minute, both sides, who had been struggling for more than 80 minutes, began to have physical problems. But Williams was not affected at all. Williams had already run more than 11 kilometers in this game.
But he was out of breath and didn't blush.
When Pires passed the ball, he rushed up from behind and intercepted the ball before Vieira.
Williams' interception shocked many Arsenal players.
Because Williams' best ability in the Premier League is of course his defense and long range. But Williams is not only capable of these two skills, he also has a very beautiful medium and long pass.
When Chelsea counterattacked, most of them were initiated by Williams' medium and long passes.
Williams' passing is one word.
allow.
Therefore, Arsenal players immediately prepared to return to defense.
"Who will Williams pass to...Williams passed the ball to Lampard. It was Lampard who got the ball. Chelsea's frontcourt has spread out. Why hasn't Lampard passed the ball?
What a waste of opportunity! What on earth was Lampard thinking?"
Mortensen was worried.
Because it is different from the previous Lampard.
In the past, Lampard never had a moment of hesitation in the frontcourt. As long as he got the ball, he would immediately pass it to the player in front, forming the fastest counterattack. Lampard's passing was not like Rui Costa's.
Dieta, Beleron, they are elegant.
But his passing has always been steady and accurate.
There may be very few beautiful assists, but the success rate of passing in the frontcourt has always been very high.
Therefore, during the counterattack, once Lampard gets the ball, he passes the ball quickly.
But this time Lampard did not pass the ball quickly, but took two extra steps.
Don't underestimate these two steps, or you may lose the most important counterattack opportunity.
So Mortensen is worried.
Mortensen couldn't wait to play by himself.
"Oh. Lampard, this opportunity...Lampard, what is he doing? She is doing it?"
Mortensen exclaimed in confusion.
Because when Lampard received the pass from Williams, he was just past midfield. Lampard only took two steps, and then suddenly there was a long shot.
All dizzy.
The entire Stamford Bridge fans and players present fainted.
Holy shit!
Lampard is crazy.
This is more than 40 meters away from Arsenal's goal.
Condolence?
That's not right either.
Although He-Man was standing a little forward, he was not at a distance of forty meters to the point where he could be hoisted.
So many people were stunned.
Moreover, the ball fired by Lampard didn't look like a shot at all. It looked like an anti-aircraft gun. They even felt that the ball was going to fly out of the court.
That's how He-Man feels.
He didn't feel that Lampard's ball was going towards the goal. Instead, he felt that the ball was flying. It was definitely going to fly out.
"Lampard's exit was too hasty."
Clark also shook his head when he saw Lampard shooting.
Williams just intercepted the ball in the midfield, which was a very good counterattack opportunity. Williams quickly gave the ball to Lampard, and there were Kewell, Boboski and Hasselbaink in front of him.
Running in and out.
Lampard's pass was passed, but it was a very good opportunity to counterattack.
But Lampard's goal was too blind.
Lampard's ball was indeed very high, but after reaching a certain height, the ball suddenly dropped.
This surprised everyone.
The one who was most surprised was He-Man.
Because at this time he discovered that the direction of the ball's backspin was towards the goal. Seaman retreated quickly, but it was too late.
The ball is falling too fast.
Seaman had reacted quickly, but still failed to stop the ball.
"goooooooooooooooal!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Lampard, Lampard! Frank Lampard. I don't know how to describe this goal. This is a goal from a distance of 42 meters, and Lampard's goal is very beautiful.
Falling leaf ball at a distance of forty-two meters!”
Mortensen was nothing but amazed.
This ball was so unexpected. I never expected such a ball to happen.
"This goal is beautiful. This goal is no less exciting than Beckham's long-distance goal. Lampard, this goal is so wonderful. I can't describe this goal in words."
."
"Lampard humiliated Seaman with a goal from 42 meters away. Seaman was really too careless. How could he score this goal?"
"I believe Lampard won't be able to score ten times, no, even a hundred times. But in such an important game, he just scored. That's why there is a word classic."
"This is a classic goal in an important game. Of course this game will also become a classic game."
"This is how the so-called classics come out."
The entire Highbury Stadium fans were stunned.
Chelsea players forgot to celebrate. Arsenal players also forgot what to say.
Because it's so wonderful.
Forty-two meters away. This is a super long-distance goal. Who would have thought that Lampard had such a skill? It is simply beyond everyone's imagination.
After a moment of pause, Chelsea fans started cheering first.
"Long live Lampard!"
"Lampard! Lampard! Lampard!"
"Champions! We are champions!"
Four thousand Chelsea fans turned Highbury into their home stadium.
It took a moment for the players on the court to come to their senses. After Lampard scored, there was no passionate celebration. He just suddenly knelt down and pointed to the sky with his hands.
He is thanking God.
It is indeed the same as what Mortensen said. If Lampard is asked to shoot this kind of ball again, Lampard will definitely not be able to hit it.
Being able to score, Lampard can only thank God for his gift.
"Frank! Frank!"
"Well done, Frank!"
Even Williams, who has always been dull, was very excited. In excitement, he pounced directly on Lampard.
Williams doesn't really have many friends.
Lampard is the one with the best relationship. Therefore, Williams is really happy for Lampard. And he is also happy to win this game.
"I love you so much Frank."
Terry, who came up from behind, even kissed Lampard on the face. Terry made a start.
Next to him, Kewell also imitated Terry and kissed Lampard hard on the face.
Lampard, who was pinned down by Williams, was furious: Stop kissing him!
So excited.
All the Chelsea players acted like they were winning titles.
Wenger stamped his feet angrily after seeing Williams' goal.
Wenger could only sigh.
Thirteen.
Although it is not an insurmountable gap, the gap is really too big. And losing directly to rival Chelsea will be the most serious blow to Arsenal's morale.
If it is only five or six points behind, then Wenger can slowly adjust Arsenal's condition.
But now we are thirteen points behind.
This gap is too big.
Wenger has put a lot of effort into this current Arsenal team.
This can be regarded as the second generation of Arsenal built by Wenger. In order to build the current Arsenal, Wenger sold Anelka, Overmars, Petit and others.
Then they introduced Henry, Pires, and Campbell. They promoted Ashley Cole and others.
Finally a blood circulation is completed.
Wenger believes that Arsenal is very good now and it is time for them to achieve results.
Although Ferguson spent a lot of money this summer, Wenger is not in a hurry because Wenger has a lot of confidence in his current team.
In Wenger's eyes, the current Arsenal is the strongest Arsenal and the most perfect Arsenal in his five years of coaching. This Arsenal also meets his requirements very well.
He has high expectations for this season.
But lost.
Lost to Chelsea.
Very disappointed.
Wenger is really disappointed.
If Wenger was disappointed, then Seaman felt humiliated.
For Seaman, who has guarded England's national defense for so many years, it is really embarrassing to be humiliated like this.
He didn't know what to say.
Balls like this from Lampard have a huge impact on Arsenal's morale.
Arsenal never organized a threatening attack in the remaining games.
"Dududu——"
"The game is over. Chelsea defeated Arsenal 2-1 in the away game. At the end of the 20th round of the Premier League, Chelsea is 13 points ahead of Arsenal. A gap of 13 points!"
"Chelsea's performance is getting stronger and stronger. I now have no doubt that Chelsea can win the Premier League championship this season."
