Chapter 221

Who is under the most pressure from Chelsea's performance?If you ask Wenger this question in person, he will definitely admit that Arsenal is under the greatest pressure.

Regardless of whether Chelsea is his direct competitor or not, Wenger can't avoid the pressure that Chelsea brings to Arsenal, especially after losing the game against Manchester United, the competitive pressure from the same city in London makes Arsenal Na must fight to the end with his opponent in every league game.

Now Wenger does not dare to be indifferent, because once the team has any fluctuations, they will lose their top position, and Chelsea is now like a lone wolf wandering behind its prey, it is waiting for you to get tired and wait for you Make a mistake, and it will open its mouth and give you a hard bite.

Wenger believed that the Portuguese had such determination and perseverance that he could use his patience to quietly follow Arsenal.

Making mistakes is now a luxury for Wenger and Arsenal. This kind of wrestling that started at the beginning of the season is the most exhausting contest.

It is said that the Premier League is the most competitive among the five major leagues, and in this arena, classic battles where the weak defeat the strong are often staged, and there will be batches of dark horses emerging here every season, just like this season's Bolton and Like Everton, they all rose quietly.

After the first nine rounds, both Bolton and Everton are in the top four of the standings, while Manchester United and Liverpool are struggling to catch up.

This situation is not surprising, but the depravity of Manchester United and Liverpool is a bit surprising. Anyway, the Premier League will have such dark horses every year.

Either the schedule is favorable, or the state is good, especially in big competition years, these teams, which have tried their best, can always emerge suddenly and become famous in one fell swoop.

Compared with them, many giants have suffered from big competitions. Their players don't always get enough rest, and injuries often cause trouble.

Too many games have dragged down Manchester United and Liverpool, coupled with the team's change of blood, now they can only follow behind such a team and catch up.

Especially Everton, after losing Rooney, few people are optimistic about the team led by Moyes, but this young coach insists on using a seemingly mediocre striker combination like Bent and Campbell, plus a bunch of The muscular man who puts defense first, fought his way to third place in the standings.

It was really hard work, because in Moyes' team, there have never been any players with super skills, and he relied on overall tactics to win.

No matter which opponent encounters them, they will suffer a lot. In the previous rounds of the league, they used very affordable victories to grab points.

Some people even say that Moyes' view of the game, like Mourinho, is pragmatism first, as long as he can score points, everything else doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter even if the scene is extremely ugly, as long as it is practical, even playing nine or ten minutes of defensive counterattack is a matter of course for him.

Physical confrontation, bottom pass and outflanking in the middle, such a simple tactical arrangement can make Everton quietly reach the third place in the league.

You can imagine how far Moyes' team's tactical execution ability has been trained. It is absolutely meticulous and rigorous.

It's no wonder that before meeting Everton, someone told Mourinho that this will be a test for him, because the opponent is more thorough than him and wants to grab points from such a defense , the difficulty is not one point or two points, and Everton has not been dragged down by the Champions League.

And Chelsea have to play a round of the Champions League before this head-to-head game. In terms of physical exertion, Moyes' team clearly has the advantage.

But many people still ignore the ferocity of Chelsea's recent state, especially after losing a league game, they have become more ferocious.

Chelsea's recent strong momentum of grabbing points is difficult to restrain, especially after two 4-0 victories, they easily and neatly dealt with the Moscow Army Central Team in the Champions League group stage, playing at home, a simple 2:0, and most of the substitutes on Mourinho.

The guy is often so unexpected, and most of the substitutes are used at home, but Mourinho has this certainty that he can win the opponent.

In fact, it is said to be a substitute, but no one knows how rich Chelsea's family is, and their substitute lineup is basically all international players from various national teams.

For more than half of the substitute players, maybe only Chelsea can have such confidence now, but the most important thing is that Mourinho knows that his opponents dare not fight him to the end, especially in this game at Stamford Bridge. It is not a problem to grasp that the opponent retreats and wins the game.

The opponents were already discouraged before the start of the game. The only striker of the Moscow Army Central Team, Olic, was absent due to injury. This made the Army Central Team give up the idea of ​​continuing to fight to the end with the opponent, especially when there is still a chance Under the circumstances, they don't want to fight Chelsea recklessly.

Instead of fighting against such a strong team, it is better to retain their strength and fight against Paris Saint-Germain. After all, there is still some chance of winning against the French.

It is obviously very irrational to provoke Chelsea at this time, not to mention that even if they confront their opponent head-on, they may not win.

This is the situation in this group. It is impossible to reverse Chelsea's qualifying. If you waste your energy and fight against them, the gain will not be worth the loss.

Not only are most of the substitutes on Chelsea's side, but even the Army Central Team has many reserve players. It can be seen that they just want to keep the tie.

It can even be said that they lose less and win more. Driven by such a heart, who can guarantee that they will continue to be brave?Maybe only ghosts can do it.

Even if the coach of the Army Central team said in an interview before the game, "We came to Stamford Bridge to win, even if there is only a [-]% to [-]% chance of winning, we will try our best to fight for it, maybe just one point. Get the team out of the group."

"This guy is really optimistic. He has a [-]% to [-]% chance of winning? I don't think he has even a [-]% chance." Brito said disdainfully with the corner of his mouth curled up.

"You should give them some way to survive, you have to be kind." Lin Yi, who was put out of the squad by Mourinho in this game, continued.

"If you can play, you will definitely not be kinder than me. Everyone knows that you are a beast now." Brito replied to Lin Yi.

Uh, Lin Yi has now discovered that the people who follow Mourinho are now a little scary with their verbal insults.

However, compared with the verbal skills, the most terrifying thing about the CSKA team is Chelsea's luxurious lineup. That's it, and it is called a substitute to the outside world!
damn it!This is the life of the rich, even people like Mutu can only squat on the bench!Is this still alive! ?Looking at the striker who was a little tight because of Olic's injury, the coach of the Army Central Team was really sad, especially seeing Chelsea's "substitute lineup".

Alas, people are better than people, and it is maddening. This is the benefit of capital operation, and you are not afraid of waste at all. With such a lineup, Kenyon still wants to buy people.

Although most of Chelsea came off the bench, these guys kept the game suspenseful for less than 10 minutes amidst the cheers of the home fans.

Terry responded to Thiago's tactical corner pass in front of the goal, and a ferocious header opened the door of the Army Central Team and also set the tone for the game.

Look for opportunities to score in a solid defense. Anyway, Mourinho has only one requirement for them, don't lose the ball easily at home.

As for how to attack, I'm afraid Mourinho doesn't need to say anything more. Those who are like wolves and tigers, who doesn't want to perform well?
After finally getting the chance to play, this group of substitutes started to charge wildly wave after wave, screaming like chicken blood.

Under such defensive pressure, what earth-shattering miracle do you expect the Army Central Team to do?They are left with a futile defense.

In the whole game, the Army Central Team had less than five chances to shoot, and three of them were outrageous, and there was no real threat at all.

Gudjohnsen's tackle before the end of the first half basically declared the end of the game, and the Army Central team only gave a symbolic resistance.

However, this kind of game process was still criticized by many people, especially those competitors in the same group. The last thing they wanted to see was such a scene. Not only did Chelsea not stop advancing, this time even the Army Central Team This kind of confrontation has also gained a lot of benefits.

But such criticism will not affect the fact that Chelsea have won nine points in three consecutive games. If they win another game, they will qualify from the group ahead of schedule.

The previous defending champion Porto did not have such luck. They folded again at their home court and lost 0:1 to Paris Saint-Germain.

Perhaps the Porto people used up all their good luck last season. Anyway, the games they lost this season were full of weirdness. Just like this game, they also had an absolute advantage at home. The opponent used a counterattack and scored a shocking goal.

Just like van der Vaart's Scorpio shot, this time the Frenchman also staged it for Porto. Baia looked very depressed after conceding the ball.

It seems that the aura of the defending champion has gradually moved away from Porto. Even if they are unwilling to admit this fact, there is no way to change the embarrassment of reality.

It seems that the departure of Mourinho and Lin Yi has taken away all their magic power, even if there are people like McCarthy, it can't change anything.

And that little guy with black hair has already bloomed his own light in the Premier League, maybe they can only send blessings to that kid now.

Just like what Lin Yi said after the game against Manchester City, no one can use fouls and violations to stop his progress, even the tough Everton team. Amidst the crazy shouts of Stamford Bridge fans, Lin Yi Using his flexibility in midfield broke the muscle trap set by Moyes for him.

This kid responded to Moyes' double-pivot tactic with his magical feet. Those unlucky muscular men were defeated in frontal confrontations time and time again.

Apart from fouling, there is no other way to make Lin Yi stop all kinds of ghostly attacks. What's more, this kid's unpredictable pass continues to cause trouble for the opponent's defenders. Even Moyes He also admitted after the game that it was too difficult to tie up that little guy.

However, Everton's defense is indeed tight enough, and Moyes also defends thoroughly enough. If Lin Yi hadn't had a flash of inspiration before the end, maybe Mourinho could only get a draw in his appearance, but Lin Yi's The value of the kid is in this, he can save a team with such inspiration.

A second before he was brought down by Cahill, he tiptoed the Everton defense to find a passing opening, a rather irregular stab.

But for Lin Yi, that was the best choice he could make, and this pass happened to tear through Everton's defense, and Lampard, who was inserted in the back row, caught the fleeting The chance, a volley from the edge of the small penalty area, finally knocked on the goal guarded by Martin for Chelsea.

The toe pierced through Everton's defense. This is Lin Yi. When this kid was crushed by Chelsea teammates, even Mourinho sighed for this pass, "Look! The opponents who come to us will have to study this kid in all aspects, because his passing is too weird."

There is no way, Lin Yi's body parts seem to be able to cause trouble for the opponent anytime and anywhere, even a big toe can conquer the opponent's defender.

Faced with such a pass, even Moyes seemed helpless. He could only express regret because he was only 1 minute away from a draw.

Less than 60 seconds after Everton re-kicked off at midfield, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and Everton could only accept the fact helplessly.

Maybe they should also be thankful, after all, they only conceded one goal. Compared with Chelsea's first two opponents, they are still lucky.

It's just that Moyes dropped a sentence to reporters when he left Stamford Bridge, "I really don't know who can take away a victory here.".

Maybe this is not just Moyes' sigh, but a problem for all Premier League teams. Now Stamford Bridge seems to have become unbreakable. It seems that it has the potential to replace Highbury and Old Trafford as the grave of the visiting team. It is indeed getting more and more difficult to win here.

Manchester United and Liverpool have already suffered losses here, who else can win now?Manchester City?Forget it, don't be funny, even if those guys can win the next time by stalking at home, don't expect them to continue their magical performance at Stamford Bridge, unless it is a dream.

But even if it is a dream, it must be a nightmare for Manchester City, because that kid Lin Yi has already spoken harshly to everyone, and he must make Manchester City look good.

Dismember?It is estimated that those are very polite words. The worst ending may be that the Manchester City team will be bitten to death by a group of crazy beasts.

This is a very conservative estimate, because it is hard to say how brutal the blue army will be. Maybe they will let many people see what is called real brutality. I wish the Manchester City fans good luck. Really shouldn't have come to Stamford Bridge to watch that game.

But that's all for the future. After winning Everton, Lin Yi once again became the best player of the game and won a bottle of champagne.

"Genius for a second!", even those reporters who have always been stingy with compliments to Chelsea, when they saw this scene, couldn't help but offer such admiration to Lin Yi. His performance conquered all, including those so-called enemies.

After all, no one is willing to deny the performance of a genius, and the strong consciousness that the kid showed in the whole game is really impressive.

Under the attack of two muscular men, the kid can still come and go freely in the crowd. He almost relied on his own strength to push the Everton midfielders back into the half-court. It is estimated that Even Moyes did not expect Lin Yi to be so fierce and aggressive before the start of the game.

Even if he was thrown on the turf several times by the opponent, it still couldn't stop Lin Yi's forward momentum. The pass at the last moment is the best example.

And such a pass also helped Chelsea beat Arsenal to the top of the standings after this round of games. This is the first time they have occupied the top spot.

Perhaps it was the depression of losing to Manchester United and the distraction in the Champions League that kept Wenger from winning in the last two rounds of the league.

In particular, Arsenal have been drawn consecutively by teams like Crystal Palace and Southampton, all at home. Such a result is really depressing.

Although they have the same points as Chelsea, they are far ahead in terms of goal difference due to Chelsea's recent fierce state.

"Now that we have come up, we will not fall from the top position again!" Regardless of what happens to those competitors, Mourinho has already issued a death order to his players, from Chelsea to the top of the standings From the day he took the position, he will keep the team at its peak.

They don't have any so-called top spot pressure at the moment, being able to reach the top will only make this group of guys feel excited, and their motivation will also be stronger.

In the next four rounds of the league, Chelsea continued their frantic pace of winning, and they were no longer satisfied with a 1:0 victory.

In four games, two of them were 4:0, one was 3:1, and they won only one game 2:0. This kind of scoring momentum is indeed very fierce.

In the league's scorer list, Gudjohnsen, Drogba, and Lampard are ranked third, fourth, and fifth. On their heads, only Henry and Van Nistelrooy can take the lead, but behind them, Ronaldo The number of goals scored by Ben and Duff is also gradually accumulating, and there is a tendency for latecomers to catch up.

And it is the black-haired kid who provides Chelsea with such a strong motivation. Although he is not the first in the assist list in the Premier League, the ball passed from this kid's feet in every game is Chelsea's attack. Source, every game he is the focus of everyone's attention.

Even Sky TV and BBC have opened up a collection of highlights for this kid in the Premier League special, and that little guy can also contribute crazy performances to the team and fans in every round of the game, just like As he himself said, he will become unstoppable!

After four consecutive rounds, Chelsea's lead has been extended to three points, and now it is Arsenal's turn to be a chaser.

I just don't know if Arsenal will still have the strength to kill this group of fierce blue-clothed fighters when they meet Chelsea in the No.16 round. . .
