After the halftime break, everyone was looking forward to any changes in the game. After all, the first half of the game was too ugly. They hoped to see a wonderful dialogue between the two.
It's a pity that everyone got it wrong.
The second half of the game was the same as the first half, without any changes. Arsenal still had to defend, and they had to defend to the end. By the second half, Su Yun had gradually figured out Wenger's thoughts. Wenger's passivity was nothing.
Defensive counterattack.
It looked like Wenger's choice for this game was a draw.
What Wenger chose was not a one-game tactic.
This is a strategic choice.
Wenger hopes to draw this game. Wenger wants to draw with Chelsea away from home, and then pin his hopes on the rematch. If the FA Cup is tied, there will be a rematch.
Returning to Highbury, coupled with the comebacks of Henry and Ljungberg, Arsenal's advantage will be even greater.
Highbury is different from other stadiums.
It is narrower than other venues.
Very effective for Arsenal's fast attack.
Su Yun finally understood Wenger's plan.
And for Arsenal, once this game is tied, there is another advantage if there is a rematch. That is that Arsenal basically have no pressure now. They are 11 points behind Chelsea in the Premier League. It is basically impossible to catch up in the remaining six rounds.
Chelsea.
In other words, Arsenal has given up on the Premier League. Anyway, the second place position is very stable. And Arsenal has been eliminated from the Champions League.
Therefore, for the current Arsenal, there is only one FA Cup championship to pursue.
Therefore, Arsenal can have sufficient rest time before the rematch. He can face Chelsea with full energy. But Chelsea is different.
Chelsea is currently attacking from the third line. Even if there is not much pressure in the Premier League, but with the involvement of the Champions League, Chelsea is very tired. Chelsea is currently attacking from the third line. If it goes well, it will win the Triple Crown.
But if anything goes wrong, there will only be one Premier League champion. Then Chelsea will be a big joke.
Su Yun will never agree to a rematch.
The rematch is very detrimental to Chelsea.
But Su Yun still has to continue to observe and see Arsenal's loopholes.
Wenger is well prepared.
The restrictions on Joaquin and Robben were relatively successful. Although they were still able to create some opportunities, they did not pose a great threat to Arsenal.
Especially Eto'o needs the ball.
He needs some space. But Arsenal compressed the defense and compressed the space, which made Eto'o very uncomfortable. Moreover, Chelsea's two wingers are very special, not just two wingers.
Even the crosses from the two full-backs were outstanding.
It's a pity that Eto'o couldn't receive their cross at all. Senderos is a talented center back with strong frontal defensive ability and header ability.
Eto'o is far inferior to his opponents in this regard.
Su Yun observed for ten minutes in the second half and knew that changes needed to be made.
"Milo, come here."
At the beginning of the second half, Su Yun asked all the players to go up and warm up. At the 61st minute of the game, Su Yun called Klose to warm up.
Klose is very happy.
Su Yun finally thought of himself. He thought of himself when he couldn't open up the situation.
So he quickly came to Su Yun's side.
"We saw that coach Su Yun had already stopped Klose who was warming up. Klose is Chelsea's substitute forward this season, but he is in good form. Chelsea's goals this season have reached 16.
The scoring efficiency is still relatively high. Especially when facing Bayern at home, he completed a hat trick against Kahn."
"I think coach Su Yun is not satisfied with Eto'o's performance. Eto'o was lost in Arsenal's intensive defense. Klose's header ability is very good, allowing Chelsea's two wingers to use their passing skills.
The characteristics of creampie.”
Mortensen watched Su Yun deploy tactics against Klose, so he analyzed his own views.
Others thought the same as Mortensen.
The same goes for Eto'o himself.
Eto'o on the field noticed that Klose had come to Su Yun's side.
He knew Klose was going to play.
He shook his head.
He didn't want to go down.
He really didn't want to go down.
But he also knew that his performance in the game was not very good. Arsenal's defense of space was very good, allowing Eto'o to hardly get any chances.
He lowered his head.
He really didn't want to go down.
But when the referee held up the substitution sign, everyone was stunned.
"Oh, coach Su Yun did not replace Eto'o with Klose, but replaced Joaquin with Klose. It's surprising, so unexpected. Coach Su Yun actually replaced Joaquin."
Mortensen was very surprised by Su Yun's choice.
What does Su Yun want to do?
baffling.
Even Wenger looked at Su Yun. He didn't understand what Su Yun's current substitution routine was.
Why replace Joaquín?
Although Chelsea's offense is very problematic, Joaquin's performance on the right is still acceptable. Clichy's ability has improved a lot after one season, but he is still very immature when facing Joaquin.
Joaquin still broke through Clichy several times.
Then there were several beautiful crosses. However, neither Eto'o nor Lampard, who came in behind, were able to grasp it.
Joaquin has been Chelsea's absolute main force in the past two seasons. In important games, especially when playing against strong teams, Joaquin's breakthrough ability on the wing is a very powerful tool.
And Joaquin rarely replaces Joaquin in important games.
Of course, if Joaquin is replaced, it is because Chelsea has already secured the victory. But now Chelsea needs to attack and break the deadlock. Su Yun replaced Joaquin.
Accident.
Joaquin was completely stunned when he saw that he was being replaced. He couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe his eyes. He couldn't believe that Su Yun would replace him. Since he performed well, although he and Su Yun
The relationship is not as friendly as the relationship between other players and Su Yun.
But there wasn't much conflict.
Su Yun has always regarded him very highly.
He didn't expect that Su Yun would replace him.
He stared blankly at the sidelines.
It wasn't until the referee next to him reminded him that he left the court with his head lowered.
He didn't say anything when he reached Su Yun's side, but sat back down directly with his head lowered.
Su Yun knew that Joaquin would be angry.
But Su Yun can no longer care about so much during the game. Su Yun's goal is very simple, he must defeat Arsenal in this game and then enter the FA Cup final.
Among the semi-finals of the FA Cup, the only one Su Yun fears is Arsenal.
As for the other two teams, whether they are Manchester United or Leicester City, they are not in Su Yun's eyes. Needless to say, Leicester City is just a garbage team.
Although Manchester United has regained some strength recently, its condition is still unflattering.
And they are now in a transition period.
Chelsea is in a period of stability.
Su Yun is not afraid of Manchester United at all. When facing Manchester United, Su Yun has many ways to defeat them.
He is just afraid of Arsenal. Although Arsenal's state this season is unstable, they are an undefeated team after all. Therefore, Su Yun hopes to completely defeat Arsenal at once and must not give Arsenal a chance.
I can only say sorry to Joaquin.
"Coach Su Yun made his first move. He replaced Joaquin and replaced him with Klose. How does Su Yun want to play?"
Mortensen concentrated on watching Chelsea's changes.
Soon he vaguely saw the changes in Arsenal. "Although it is not certain yet, judging from the changes in positions, coach Su Yun put Robben on the right, and Rosicky was placed on the left by coach Su Yun.
Klose and Eto'o are two forwards, which is a very unexpected change."
What is this for?
Wenger also frowned.
Su Yun had already taken action. But Wenger did not immediately change his plan because he needed to observe Chelsea's playing style and Su Yun's intentions.
The important thing is that Arsenal's previous defense was very successful.
Wenger cannot make changes at will.
Arsenal's defense remains the same.
It doesn't make any difference if Chelsea change their style of play.
"Williams. Williams got the ball again."
Because of Arsenal's deep-lying defense, Williams firmly controlled the midfield in this game. He was the player who passed the most passes in this game, but he only passed without any threat.
"Williams, he handed the ball to Robben on the right...Robben is a left winger. Coach Su Yun put him on the right. I don't know what he thought about it."
They were all surprised.
Robben was a left winger when he debuted in the Netherlands. He has never played on the right. And in English football, Robben became one of the most outstanding left wingers in just one season.
Unexpectedly, Su Yun put Robben on the right in this game. What did he want to do?
They are all paying attention to Robben's performance.
Robben also appeared on the right wing for the first time in an official game. Of course, in previous games, he ran all over the field and occasionally returned to the right wing. But like this time, when Su Yun became a right winger, he was
first.
Robben had just taken two steps with the ball, but Clichy didn't step forward to defend at all. Instead, he retreated to protect. It was Gilberto in the midfield who came to interfere with Robben.
Gilberto is the unsung hero of Brazil's World Cup win in Korea and Japan.
He and Kleberson's midfield defense was excellent.
When the Brazilian national team won the World Cup, all the media in the world were boasting about 3r, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, and Ronaldinho. Apart from the three of them, people talked about the two wingers Cafu and Ronaldinho as the heroes of Brazil.
Carlos.
But for head coaches like Su Yun, although they are the most dazzling, they can still see the silent heroes behind them.
Gilberto and Kleberson.
The two of them were snatched up by Wenger and Ferguson respectively, also because they thought that these two people were not well-known, but they were very important.
After Gilberto came to Arsenal, he pushed Edu and Parlor to the bench and became Arsenal's main midfielder.
The defensive ability is very good.
He interfered with Robben and kept running close to Robben. Clichy in front was retreating while observing Robben's position. As long as Robben showed the slightest flaw, he would immediately steal the ball.
Robben slowly stepped forward. Just as the distance between him and Clichy was getting closer and closer, Robben suddenly led the ball to the center with his left foot, and then accelerated to cut inside.
Robben's cut inside was sudden.
"Robben, Robben cut inside...Robben, he broke through between Gilberto and Clichy."
Robben's breakthrough was simple.
It was explosive power and speed, but it completely left Gilberto and Clichy there. He was only 1.8 meters tall, but Robben was like a loach, scurrying between Gilberto and Clichy.
go out.
Seeing Robben's inward cut, Vieira, who was sitting in the middle, started to move to the right.
It's a pity that after Robben cut inside, he didn't give the Arsenal players any chance at all. He was very decisive after cutting inside.
Facing the goal, it was just a long shot.
"Roben, she!"
"Lehmann, Lehmann saved it... No, this ball hit Eto'o. Oh, Lehmann, how could this ball go in? He should have been saved from the bottom line."
Robben's long shot was very exciting.
His left foot's long shot has always been excellent. He can exert force and hit a strong and fast long shot. Of course, he can also hit a long shot with an arc.
A sudden incision, then a direct long shot.
Lehmann was still very focused. When he saw Robben's shot, he immediately took action. Robben's shot flew close to the ground this time. But Robben's shot was too fast. Lehmann
He just pounced on the ball, but didn't catch it.
But after making the save, Lehmann already felt pretty good.
This ball is so tricky.
It's a pity that Lehmann is very unlucky.
The ball he saved happened to hit the legs of Eto'o who was running forward.
Eto'o subconsciously moved his legs.
After the ball bounced off Eto'o's leg, it rushed towards Lehmann again. Under normal circumstances, this kind of rebounding ball would not pose any threat. But Lehmann had already fallen down just to attack Robben's ball.
He could only watch helplessly as the slow ball slowly rolled into the gate he was guarding.
"goooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Eto'o! Eto'o! This goal was blinded by Eto'o, even he was surprised. This goal was so lucky, Eto'o picked up a goal. But Chelsea attacked Assen
Sixty-three minutes later, we finally scored a goal."
"One to zero. Chelsea leads Arsenal. Wenger's idea of returning to home ground to keep the tie was completely ruined. Coach Su Yun put Robben on the right, which produced a very good effect. Coach Su Yun's changes gave
Chelsea brought the goals."
"Robben came to the right and had a very good effect. His sudden cut inside caught Arsenal off guard. I have never seen Chelsea and Robben play this way before. It seems that this is coach Su Yun's style.
A secret weapon."
Robben's in-swinging shot from the right struck Mortensen as a novelty.
Very unexpected.
But the effect is so good.
Mortensen could only sigh in admiration. He admired Su Yun's change.
