Midfielder.

Chapter 416

Just a few months ago, when Arsenal and Chelsea met, they could maintain a close relationship.

Even if the opponent beat him in terms of league results, but in the face-to-face contest between the two sides, Wenger only felt the pressure from the opponent, but this does not mean that Arsenal performed worse than the opponent.

Even at home, Arsenal outperformed Chelsea. If Lin Yi hadn't found a breakthrough in the confrontation with Vieira, the final result would have been hard to predict.

But just a few months later, the gap between the two sides is so big that Wenger is scratching his head a bit.

The opponent has added a few capable players, but his own side is not too traumatized. The problem that Wenger is troubled now may be why the Chelsea team is now so frightening.

There is really a kind of scary feeling, the Chelsea team seems to be both familiar and strange.

What is familiar is that most of the players are still the main players, and only a few positions have been replaced with newcomers, but what is unfamiliar is the current style of play of this team, the sense of oppression makes people breathless.

Only the Argentine team led by the madman Bielsa had this feeling, but now Wenger also feels the wild ferocity from the Chelsea team led by Mourinho.

It seems that every player of the opponent is pressing Arsenal's ball route, but not all Chelsea players are running desperately, but this sense of oppression is really reflected in the game.

Even the wily Wenger, this time when facing Mourinho's change of tactics, he was uncertain.

Originally, before the game, the media who had been following Chelsea's reports said that Arsenal would definitely not take advantage of this confrontation, but many people believed that this was just Chelsea's psychological warfare.

Even Wenger didn't care about the opponent's remarks before the game, especially that this sentence was not said by Mourinho at all, and even the professor believed that this was just a campaign by the opponent's media before the game started.

As for the slogan of the other party clamoring to win the fourth trophy, Wenger intends to give them a head-on blow. Originally, the triple crown was enough for Chelsea to show off, and the professor didn't want to add to the cake.

As an old coach who has been in the Premier League for so many years, Wenger is very aware of the value of this game. A Community Shield may not matter, but the momentum of the players on both sides cannot afford to lose.

Originally, this was a contest before the start of the league. If he was overwhelmed by his opponent at this time, he would always be at a disadvantage in the subsequent confrontation. After Wenger experienced the embarrassing situation of chasing points last season, he did not want to In the new season, he also followed Chelsea desperately to catch up.

Wenger originally planned to let the team play a beautiful game while the opponent was making personnel adjustments. Although he didn't care whether he could win the cup, he really wanted to suppress Chelsea.

Arsenal did not add so many capable players during the transfer period, but Wenger was also prepared. His team's tactics and personnel mix have always been very stable, and their cooperation with each other has not been a problem.

Chelsea has just replaced several main players, and it is likely that there are still problems in the running-in of tactics.

Wenger played this game with this kind of thinking in mind. After all, there is a running-in period for any team, but Wenger forgot that this perverted team has a perverted commander .

With Lin Yi's needlework in the midfield, even if the running-in period of the entire team has not completely passed, his nimble passing is still able to control Chelsea to complete the fierce suppression in the attack.

Originally, Wenger wanted to rely on his skillful cooperation to fight against the opponent, but now it seems that this is not so easy at all. The opponent has indeed become more aggressive after the personnel adjustment, especially in the offense. It is a defensive and counterattack tactic that takes the initiative a lot in offense.

If Chelsea relied on a center forward and two wingers to support the entire offense last season, then everything has changed now. Mourinho has completely created a new tactic for Chelsea.

It used to be an African elephant who responded to crosses from the two wingers and created a killer in the penalty area.

In addition to the fact that the elephant is still brave, Mourinho also installed two bright ivory on him. In the past, only Lampard was waiting behind him, and now there is another Gerrard.

This is like the elephant soldier in The Lord of the Rings, except that this time Chelsea has armed the elephant even more terrifyingly. Now there are not only one or two sneak attackers who can shoot bows and arrows on its back.

Drogba now seems to have two cannons strapped to the back of his elephant that can be fired at any time, and the calibers of these two cannons are fucking extra-large, with external scopes.

Originally, in order to guard against the threat of Drogba to his penalty area, Wenger had arranged for Gallas and Lauren to guard the two sides, just to prevent Robben and Duff from getting a chance to cross calmly.

It's a pity that he adjusted his strategy to prevent Robben and Duff from raging on the wing, but he couldn't stop the two cannons in the middle. Lampard and Gerrard were like ducks in water.

Throughout the first half, these two guys lay in ambush behind Drogba and fired at least six threatening long-range shots. They probably vented their energy that they couldn't use in the national team on Lehmann's head.

Except for the goal scored by Gerrard, in 45 minutes, Lehmann was almost tossed by this cruise missile-like shot. He didn't know how many times he had saved such long-range shots with his own hands. , but the Germans could clearly feel the tremor coming from their hands.

Originally, Lampard and Gerrard were well-known long-range gunners in the Premier League. Now they have the elephant Drogba in front of them fighting desperately for the header, and there is a gunpowder magazine behind them that can be filled at any time. These two guys didn't need to think too much at all, they just fired their cannons on the periphery with all their might.

If Chelsea still maintains the usual tactics of last season, Wenger has a certain degree of confidence that he can limit the opponent in the opening stage, but Chelsea's fierce offensive momentum disrupted his arrangement.

Although the opponent only added Gerrard to the offense, the effect on the field was astonishing, especially in terms of destructive power, Gerrard completely played the role of a terminator.

It turned out that it was like this when he was in the Liverpool team. Gerrard would often step forward to solve the troubles on the offensive end when the team couldn't start the situation. Now he let go of his attack power.

Originally, Wenger never thought that Mourinho would take such a risk to use double virtues in the Community Shield match, but now it seems that the Portuguese seems to have made any preparations.

He not only dared to deploy this pair of incompatible combinations in the national team, but also knew how to use them. Even the commentator squeezed Eriksson narrowly when commenting on this lineup.

"I think, after watching this game, Eriksson should know how to use them both."

"It's not that they can't coexist, it's just that our great Swedish manager doesn't know."

I really don't know what Eriksson's expression is when he is sitting in the stands when he hears such comments. Anyway, the Swedes must be complaining. Mourinho has Lin Yi to sit in the midfield for him, but the England national Where can the team find such a midfield commander who can even embroider with his feet?
It is simply too difficult to pick out such a person with outstanding skills among a group of strong men.

It is precisely because Mourinho owns Lin Yi that he can let the two virtues coexist so unscrupulously.

What's more, both of them are behind Drogba, which makes Arsenal's midfield defense very difficult. It is enough for Flamini to have one Lin Yi hovering in the midfield, and the rest of the players are also inseparable.

Even during the period of Chelsea's onslaught, Wenger can only ask the central defender to properly shorten the distance between him and the midfielder, and not let Lampard and Gerrard have too much room for movement.

But such a temporary countermeasure can only allow Lin Yi to take advantage of the loopholes. This kid is not as good as before with the ball, but his passing is more tricky than last season, making it hard to guard against.

Who is suffering the most from Lin Yi's current performance?If Vieira was on the court, he must be the one who has the most headache, but now it seems that Vieira is really wise, he has already taken the lead in flashing.

Now this troublesome boy can only be stopped by Flamini, a sad guy. Unfortunately, he is also a Frenchman, Flamini is not as strong as Vieira, nor is he so fierce.

If Flamini was able to limit Lin Yi with his interception ability when they met in the league last season, then now, he basically can't even limit Lin Yi.

Running along, this is where Flamini suffers, he can only run desperately behind Lin Yi's butt, but even so, he can't grasp the rhythm of Lin Yi's passing and the ability to control the pulse of the game , he could only follow Lin Yi so sadly as an unlucky reference.

Almost every time the big screen of the stadium replays Lin Yi's wonderful pass just now, Flamini follows Lin Yi in embarrassment, but his outstretched foot has never successfully intercepted the ball.

Not only was he unable to break the ball, but it also became very difficult for Flamini to follow Lin Yi to interfere properly. When the kid was on the field, he was always wandering around and would never stop.

And every time the ball is at his feet, he will play the ball at the first time. Compared with last season, his speed and reaction have become faster, so fast that it is very difficult for Flamini to foul. Disaster.

Lin Yi's weapon is not only flexible, but his body is also much stronger than last season. If Flamy wants to use his body and strength to force Lin Yi, it will be an impossible task.

In the confrontation in the first half, Lin Yi squeezed past Flamini on at least two occasions when he forced his way, and the only feeling left by the Frenchman was that he couldn't stop him at all.

And that kid Lin Yi also continued to tease Flamini with passing balls very unkindly. For this old opponent who overthrew him in the game last season, Lin Yi didn't want to let go of the opportunity to ravage him.

Not only did he stimulate the opponent's nerves in action, but also in terms of language, Lin Yi was not idle, "Hey, I'm going to pass from your right." Then this kid really completed the pass from the right.

You can imagine the depressed expression on Flamini's face at that time. He was just like an idiot when he was approached by the opponent on the field, like a stiff wooden man.

Even when Mourinho saw this scene from the sidelines, he whispered to Brito, "Why did this kid suddenly become so evil after being specially trained by Faria for a month?"

Brito also looked melancholy, because he really couldn't answer Mourinho's question, evil?Uh, these are not just the few animal mentors you asked Mendes to find for Lin Yi.

Those three cattle-level guys, what kind of good people can be trained by them?Even Costa, the good old man in reality, is a beast that can ravage the opponent's nerves in the game.

After being specially trained by them for a month, the boy Lin Yi's performance is considered normal now.

If it were someone else, I'm afraid he would have been trained to become a demon long ago, but that kid is no different from a demon now. When he ravages others, his face looks like a beast no matter what.

It can be said that since Drogba scored the first goal, the rhythm of the whole game was no longer under the control of Arsenal. In the first half, they were able to maintain a situation of being behind by 45 to [-].With the help of luck, Lampard and Drogba each hit the post with a kick, otherwise the score may continue to expand, but this [-]-minute bombardment completely stunned Arsenal.

The difference between the two goals is not too exaggerated. In a high-level confrontation, such a lead may be lost by a single negligence. The team led by Wenger is not a classic game without a major reversal.

But in this confrontation, Wenger had no confidence in the reversal, and not long after the intermission, Wenger replaced Henry and Bergkamp with two new generations of Van Persie and Hleb.

The only tactical adjustment he made was to add a defensive midfielder to the team. After Gilberto came on the field, Flamini's defensive pressure was weakened, but the most important reason was that Lin Yi was off the field.

However, before Lin Yi left the field, the score had been rewritten to [-]-[-]. His third assist was given to Robben who slanted into the penalty area from the wing, and the Dutchman's shot pierced the goal.

Lehmann also beat the turf with his fist helplessly for the third time to vent his anger, but the German was too lazy to lose his temper at his defenders, and the opponent was so strong that he couldn't do anything about it.

There was nothing Lehmann could do against a maniac who could shove the ball into the penalty area from between their legs.

With a score of [-] to [-], Chelsea has completely pinched Arsenal's life goal. If they want to try to make a comeback under such circumstances, it is estimated that even Wenger himself will not have such a delusion.

It can be said that the score did not continue to be rewritten in the second half because Lin Yi was replaced by Mourinho in the No. 605 minute, and Lampard replaced him as the midfield commander.

And Gerrard is still behind Drogba, but the right side has been replaced by Wright Jr., Duff also returned to the bench to rest, Mourinho quickly let the team start after replacing Lin Yi Changes.

It was not just a simple replacement of the team's frontcourt players, but a change in the entire formation. Lin Yi was off the field, but Chelsea lost a full-back, and Ferreira was replaced by Crespo.

Carvalho, Ashley Cole and Terry guard the back line, Makelele does not move, but the forward line is very rare to form a double forward, but the raging of the two wings is even crazier than at the beginning .

Compared with Duff, Wright Jr. has less strength and more speed. Mourinho just let this kid rush up at the last moment, and use his speed to attack Lauren's defense hard in the wing attack .

Drogba and Crespo are two people in the opponent's penalty area, leaving Gerrard behind them as the second offensive option. The double center forward directly makes Arsenal's penalty area the most dangerous area. , Those tactical adjustments made by Wenger just now became decorations in an instant.

In the last 10 minutes of the game, Wenger didn't even stand on the sidelines of the court. He sat quietly on the coach's bench, waiting for the final whistle of the game. For him, this damn game was over. Want Mourinho's team to make a mistake?Maybe that really requires waiting for the end of the world.

However, Wenger's inaction brought good luck to the Arsenal team. When the Chelsea team continued to attack wildly, there were a few loopholes in their defense that could be exploited.

And Cesc Fabregas, who was entrusted by Wenger with a heavy responsibility, keenly captured the omission of that moment. When facing Makelele's marking, he was still able to use his flexible feet to get past the French defense.

Although Fabregas' pass to Van Persie was blocked by Terry's tackle, the ball that popped out was not cleared, but Fabregas, who was plugged in by the back row, shot a long-range head-on.

Cudicini, who originally came on as a substitute for Petr Cech, had already been idle for most of the game. Facing such a sudden kick, he was also a little dumbfounded, and his slow reaction was powerless to stop the shot.

But Fabregas did not celebrate after he scored a goal. He just looked up at the score that had just been rewritten on the big screen, and Lin Yi who was wearing clothes on the sidelines.

Also known by the British media as the hopeful star who will dominate the Premier League in the future, but now it seems that the gap between the two is like this damn score, which makes the chasers feel a little desperate.

The score of [-] to [-] has not been rewritten again, but at the moment of the end of the game, Chelsea have already lifted their fourth trophy this year, the quadruple crown, an admirable achievement.

But in the eyes of those Chelsea fans, this is not their last trophy this season. They still have a chance to win the Club World Cup and five crowns. That is the monument that Chelsea wants to write.

A clean victory not only made Wenger bow his head helplessly in the first round of the contest, Chelsea also used their fierce performance to make all opponents who were trying to compete for the league championship aware of a problem, damn it, These guys in blue clothes have become even more terrifying!

The rage, perhaps, will continue to spread in the Premier League. . .This is the era of blue. . .

(Hey, the current state of Argentina is really worrying, even Bolivia can't handle it...)
