End of the fifth update!
The Mid-Autumn Festival erupted at the end of the month!
-----
Highbury seemed to have completely fallen into a state of national insurrection!
The fans roared crazily in the stands and waved their fists. Many fans even reached out to touch their hearts or jumped up and down from holding their heads. They were so excited that it was as if they were on a roller coaster!
"Qin Xiong attacks with a scorpion tail! Čech performs a world-class save! Pires! Pires! Pires makes a successful follow-up shot! Arsenal leads Chelsea by 2: 1! Oh, my God, Arsenal's attack is really full of ups and downs and gorgeous! Qin Xiong was near the edge of the penalty area in the front field and Marseille spun around and broke through Delno. He passed the ball back to Fàbregas who followed up in the back row. As a result, Fàbregas did not make a long shot, but passed the ball to Qin Xiong again. At this time, Qin Xiong was obviously running. In our view, Qin Xiong did not have a good space to receive the ball. If he stopped the ball, it was likely that he would be frozen by Makelele and Delno. But Qin Xiong improvised and directly turned half and kicked the ball towards the lower left corner of the goal with his heel.
The football penetrated Chelsea's defensive line. No one touched the ball. At the critical moment, Čech performed a shocking save. The speed of the ball was not particularly fast, but he used his fingertips to change the direction of the football's flight. The football hit the goalpost and rebounded in the small penalty area. Pires, who cut directly into the penalty area before Fàbregas' ball out, did not wait for Fàbregas' pass. He found a good opportunity to make a follow-up shot in front of the goal and he sent the ball into the goal!
In this wonderful offensive and defensive showdown, Čech did not lose to Qin Xiong, but Arsenal won in the end!
2: 1, Arsenal takes the lead again! "
Pires' unexpected breakthrough was not accidental. Chelsea would unconsciously lower their marking of Pires when Arsenal attacked the right flank. Delno's defensive flaw was so obvious that most of Chelsea's defenders did not trust him and had to move to his side to fill in his loophole.
However, in a top-tier battle, no one could help their teammates fill in the gaps. They had to do their job well.
Just like some teams, no matter how many goals they lost, they would not weaken their offense. That was because there was not much meaning in filling holes like that. Instead, they would pursue one more goal than the opponent, which might bring about the dawn of victory.
Arsenal's teammates gathered together in a frenzy to celebrate the goal. Qin Xiong came to Pires and put his arm around his shoulder, pressing his head against the side of his face. Pires laughed and said, "You're unlucky. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here."
Qin Xiong shook his head and smiled. "No, I was just trying my luck. The result is great!"
The two hugged each other and separated. Together, they walked towards the backstage with their heads held high and their chests puffed out.
Mourinho had always been the focus of attention on the sidelines, but many of his "sideline shows" were to stimulate the morale of the players or to fight for the interests of the team. They were not purely individual performances.
At the critical moment, he had always maintained a cold and calm demeanor, as if nothing could move him.
At this time, even though he wanted to roar and curse Delno or Gallas in his heart, the former was the ability, while the latter was the attitude, which led to Chelsea's overall improvement in strength this season, but there were some obvious flaws in some parts.
He sent Joe Cole out to play to replace Duff.
At the same time, he clapped his hands to the players on the field, hoping to stimulate the team's fighting spirit and strive to perform better in the remaining time.
Christmas carols rang out in the Highbury stands. The Arsenal fans changed some of the lyrics and began to sing and dance in celebration.
Although it was suspected of being a disgrace and celebrating too early, it was not necessarily a way to put psychological pressure on Chelsea.
Arsenal's offensive and defensive system was gradually getting better. Before Chelsea could play better, Arsenal's defense could withstand Chelsea's offensive without any new changes.
"We have always said that Chelsea's strongest point under Mourinho's guidance is the defensive counterattack. The winger's tactics have frightened the European football world. But there is also a saying that Mourinho's team lacks creativity in offense. At least they don't have a classic playmaker in the midfield. Lampard's overall strength is strong, but in terms of creativity alone, there is a clear gap between him and Arsenal's midfield core, Qin Xiong. Chelsea's advantages are bravery, blood, iron will and unity. But in an offense that needs to tear apart the opponent's mature defensive system, when the muscle impact can't play a key role, they obviously lack offensive creativity. Their attacks are not hidden enough and the probability of their attacks being predicted is higher. When the game reached the 70th minute, Arsenal and Chelsea have entered a state where both sides know each other like the back of their hands. But Chelsea is behind in the score. They need to work harder and play some offensive attacks that catch Arsenal off guard. "
After 75 minutes of the game, the physical exhaustion of both sides had reached a critical point. But because Arsenal's overall lineup was thin this season, even with Wenger's reasonable planning and strict control of physical exhaustion, Arsenal was still slightly inferior to the strong Chelsea.
The game should have reached the watershed stage, the final closing stage. Arsenal, who was in the lead, should be conservative. There was no other way. The overall strategy of a strong confrontation was more or less the same, especially when the other side was in the lead. There would only be a lot of changes in a draw.
But before the final contraction of the overall defense to ensure victory, Arsenal would still make a try.
It was not the last fight, but the conventional choice before the contraction in the closing stage. After all, at this point in time, the lagging Chelsea's overall will might be at the weakest stage, and there might be a situation where the overall thinking was not unified.
Henry took the initiative to retreat, and Fàbregas passed the ball to the left wing in the midfield. Pires made a response and passed the ball to Qin Xiong. Qin Xiong diagonally passed the ball back to Henry, who retreated to the left side of the front waistline.
Henry dribbled the ball horizontally to attract Essien and then diagonally passed the ball to Ljungberg on the right wing.
At this moment, Pires cut into the penalty area along the left wing, forming the first sharp knife on the offensive line to insert into the hinterland of Chelsea's penalty area to tear and contain the defense.
Ljungberg faced Delno again. He knew the significance of this attack. He would not take on the task of breaking through, because Pires was already on the other side to contain the forces in the opponent's penalty area.
He made sure that he contained Delno, opened up space in the penalty area, and immediately passed the ball horizontally.
Henry ran diagonally and rushed past Essien's side. In fact, most of Essien's attention was on Qin Xiong.
But he made a mistake in his prediction.
Arsenal's attack this time did not pass through Qin Xiong's organization in the process of advancing.
After Henry controlled the ball, he pushed forward. After coming in front of Carvalho, Henry saw Qin Xiong's running position, and then the rhythm of his control of the ball paused. Then he flicked the ball horizontally to the right, forcing Terry and Carvalho to close the door to defend. Just before the two iron gates closed, Henry poked the ball directly behind Terry with the tip of his foot!
Qin Xiong was about to form a single blade!
