The ball that had been broken by Huth out of the sideline rolled into the hands of the ball boy. Ljungberg ran over and was about to send the ball out, but he found that Qin Xiong had taken the football from the ball boy's hands before him.
So Ljungberg gave up and turned to walk into the field. Huth had originally wanted to mark Qin Xiong, but now his attention was focused on Ljungberg. After all, Ljungberg was the closest to Qin Xiong.
Ljungberg's back was facing Qin Xiong, but he was actually moving. He looked at his teammates in the distance. They were all quite far away. He guessed that Qin Xiong would probably wait for Vieira or Lauren to come up to support him before sending the sideline ball. After all, he was surrounded. Makelele was in front of him, and Huth was on the side. Maybe the moment the sideline ball was sent out, he would be closely marked and harassed.
But just when Chelsea's players and Ljungberg were not aware of it, Qin Xiong directly threw the ball out!
Huth watched the football fly towards Ljungberg and subconsciously stuck to him. But after running a step, he was shocked: Ljungberg did not look back. He was not aware of it at all!
Ljungberg was really shocked.
He felt the football hit him in the back, and then he looked back. He thought that Qin Xiong had rashly sent the ball out, and there was no cooperation between the two players.
But when he looked back, he saw that the rebounded football had been stopped and controlled by Qin Xiong, who had stepped into the field.
He deliberately hit the football towards Ljungberg's back!
It was a coordination that Ljungberg did not realize, and it was absolutely unexpected.
Huth was a little confused at this moment. Time waits for no man. Qin Xiong did not care about his reaction and directly kicked the ball in Huth's direction with his left foot. Huth subconsciously put his legs together, but it was still too late!
The football rolled between his legs.
Qin Xiong overtook him at the same time!
After the unexpected combination of the sideline ball hitting the wall, Qin Xiong successively broke through Huth's crotch!
This time, Hu Te was cleanly swept away!
He was really fooled by Qin Xiong!
A sideline shot was an impact on the mind. Once the rhythm was messed up, the offensive and defensive techniques would become very passive.
Listening to thunder in silence, seeing flowers in colorless places!
Chelsea's defensive line, which was stable and solid, was torn apart by Qin Xiong at this moment!
As Qin Xiong charged into the forbidden zone, the crack grew bigger and bigger!
Chelsea's defensive line suddenly panicked, and gaps began to appear in the tight and orderly defense.
After Qin Xiong cut into the inside line, Gallas immediately moved over to intercept. Qin Xiong directly raised his leg and swept the ball into the middle of the penalty area.
Henry's forward position was a sprinting type, and Terry followed him like a shadow. Henry watched the football roll past him and did not regret that Qin Xiong's pass did not reach his feet. He knew that Qin Xiong must have a target to pass to!
But it should not be him!
After missing the opportunity to outflank in the middle of the penalty area, Henry and Terry did the same thing. They turned their heads to look at the left side of the penalty area. They saw that although Carvalho was rushing towards the middle at full speed to assist in the defense, another figure was faster. Pires directly shot at the rolling football!
The left half of the goal was completely empty. Čech had just gone to the other side to guard against Qin Xiong's shot at the near corner!
The football went into the net!
The sky above Highbury rang with deafening cheers!
The Gunner's ingenious and incomparably fierce offensive shook the entire stadium and stirred people's hearts!
Pires rushed to Qin Xiong. After the two hugged, the other teammates rushed over to surround them. This was already the most common celebration scene for Arsenal this season. They played team football to show the world their unity!
Wenger exhaled and raised his eyebrows as he clenched his fists and waved them up and down. Mourinho's face was solemn. He did not know how Chelsea would limit the opponent's sudden attack.
If even Qin Xiong was not sure that he would do it five seconds before he threw the ball, then how would Chelsea know? Mourinho was a master of details. He paid attention to details and contained the main routine of the opponent's attack.
But was there a routine in Arsenal's goal today?
There was no trace to be found!
Qin Xiong used both his hands and feet, his heel, and his hand to throw the ball. It was impossible to guard against!
"Arsenal reversed Chelsea! The combination of Qin Xiong and Ljungberg deceived the world with the ball on the sidelines! Ljungberg used his back as the wall. After Qin Xiong threw the ball on the sidelines, he immediately regained control of the ball and then passed through Huth's crotch to break through. At this time, Chelsea's defense was completely messed up! The gap in the right flank was so big that someone had to fill it. The gap that appeared in the process of filling it was seized by Arsenal's attacking players. Henry missed the opportunity to outflank in front of the goal, but Pires sent the ball into the goal! From the beginning of the game to the reversal of Chelsea, Arsenal showed the world their powerful offensive firepower and incredible charm in the attack! "
Chelsea's players felt extremely unreconciled.
They seemed to have done everything to the best of their ability, but their defense was still destroyed by the opponent's unexpected attack!
Mourinho was still on the sidelines with a calm posture. He should have a higher awareness than his players.
Not to mention now, even in the future, Chelsea could not consider whether the extreme defensive counterattack was right or wrong under his command!
This was a matter of principle and the development route of the team. It could not be shaken or questioned!
On the road of utilitarian football, Mourinho's persistence was no less than Wenger's and Ferguson's. It was precisely because of such a lonely and firm belief that they could stand on the top stage of Europe and become the most eye-catching top managers in the outside world!
No matter what setbacks or difficulties, they could not shake his mind. The soul of the Blues would not be confused!
They would firmly walk their own path!
Who cares if it was winter, summer, or spring!
On the basis of a 1: 2 deficit, Mourinho decided to take the risk of changing the game. This was a slight adjustment to the offense on the basis of defensive counterattack.
Of course, as the most popular young manager in the European football world, how could he not have prepared for both sides?
Would he not fall behind at Highbury?
What a joke!
If he really thought so, then he was not arrogant, but conceited!
After he sent a signal to the players in the front field, Chelsea's routine in the counterattack had a new change.
Joe Cole and Duff began to dribble the ball directly from the flank in front of the danger zone and cut across the middle to disrupt Arsenal's defense of the back waist line!
This forced Vieira and Silva to have no time to take care of the defense of the back line.
Then, the three offensive players in front and behind of the middle were released again.
Drogba, Gudjohnsen, Lampard!
In the 72nd minute of the game, Duff found a gap after the side cut and passed directly to the front line. As Silva was forced to come up to intercept Duff, Gudjohnsen would not directly go up to the front line to attract Vieira's attention. So when Lampard rushed up to receive Drogba's return ball, Chelsea's magic lamp showed a threatening long shot power!
A shot was blasted out. Although Lehmann blocked it, the football was still in the penalty area. Fortunately, Lauren decisively returned to the middle to defend and was able to break the siege. However, Chelsea's routine in the counterattack was indeed a headache for Arsenal.
