Chapter 451: Arsenal is also very hardworking
Chelsea has always been a representative of iron and blood in the eyes of fans, and Arsenal are often complained by fans of their rival Chelsea for their lack of fighting spirit.

But this season's Arsenal is a bit different. They really dare to fight and fight hard, completely subverting everyone's impression of Arsenal.

And this game seems to have once again subverted everyone's view of morality. Arsenal fell behind by three goals and had one less man to fight, but they still did not shrink back and defend on the court, but attacked bravely.And when defending, whether it was action or momentum, they suppressed the home team Chelsea, which had an absolute advantage.

"Perhaps considering that the World Cup is approaching, it is safer for the dominant Chelsea players to play. No one wants to miss this great stage because of injuries. For a professional player, the World Cup The championship and the state championship in your own state are the most important things in life and the things that can best prove your ability."

"Arsenal's players obviously want to retreat from their mortal enemies. At this time, they may have forgotten the World Cup. In fact, Arsenal are also very hardworking."

The commentator was really right, considering that the World Cup is still three months away.So when leading by three goals and the opponent has one player less, Chelsea's players played safer.Avoid all possible physical contact with the opponent. In a confrontation on the wing, Hazard avoided Flamini's flying shovel.He dodged directly and decisively, and at the same time the ball under his feet was broken by the opponent.

Although Hazard's talents and abilities make it almost impossible for him to be excluded by the head coach of the Belgian national team, but if it is because of injuries...then the head coach is helpless.

So he played very safely. As for Flamini. France's midfielders are full of talents, he, a 23-year-old veteran, may not be called to the [-]-man squad for training, so naturally he dared to fight.

And Arsenal's active fighting also paid off, in the No. 308 minutes of the game.During a not very resolute attack by Chelsea, Ramsey broke the ball at Oscar's feet in the midfielder position.Although Oscar is flexible and delicate in his feet, he has a fatal flaw, that is, his body is thin. In terms of physical contact, he is a scum with only five combat effectiveness.
Even Li Zihan's figure is stronger than him, and Hanniang's figure is now a relatively standard football player's figure.Doesn't look frail like Oscar, or "bloated" like some big guys.

Naturally, Ramsey got up one step ahead of Oscar, and before pulling Lampard to support him, he passed the ball to Li Zihan in the frontcourt.

Li Zihan then passed the ball to Ozil, and then moved forward by himself.

Ozil split the side to Chamberlain, and after Chamberlain broke into the sideline, he suddenly dispatched a long pass.He passed a precise long pass to Wilshere on the other side. Faced with this sudden pass, the Chelsea players were obviously not prepared, or didn't take it seriously.
Wilshere raised his foot and unloaded the ball very beautifully. The ball was firmly stuck to his instep as if glued.

Then Wilshire dribbled the ball all the way from the wing and caught Chelsea by surprise.

Ivanovic couldn't find a good time to kick, so he had to run side by side with Wilshere.

Coming to the sidewalk close to the bottom line, Wilshere, a small threat, immediately stepped on the ball and made an emergency stop.Ivanovic, who came from a central defender to play as a full-back, was unprepared for a while, and was given to the front of Wilshere by inertia.

Fortunately, Ivanovic reacted quickly and immediately chased back.

At this time, Wilshere raised his foot to make a pass, but Ivanovic didn't dare to be careless, and immediately stretched out his foot to block it.

And Wilshere's passing action was a fake action, he didn't pass the ball right away.Instead, he waited for Ivanovic to stretch out his foot before passing the ball, a grounder.

The ball passed between Ivanovic's feet and went laterally to the middle of the penalty area.

"Wilshere!!! Crotch!! Beautiful pass."

"Look at Arsenal's outflanking in the middle. Lee!!"

Li Zihan has already moved towards the small penalty area, and Terry is also running towards the small penalty area in parallel with him, but Terry is on the left of Li Zihan, if according to the plot, Terry can grab control of the ball before him .

After Li Zihan ran quickly in front of the goal, he fell to the ground and slid over. He did this to grab the ball as soon as possible.

Terry didn't hesitate, and immediately followed Li Zihan to slide the shovel.

The ball did not follow the plot, it was shoveled by Terry in front of Li Zihan, the ball hit Terry's leg, and then bounced slightly, but he continued to move towards Terry's right, which is Li Zihan Han direction movement.

However, Li Zihan quickly raised his left leg and kicked the sole of his foot when his right foot shovel failed!
The sole of his shoe came into close contact with the ball, and the ball was pushed towards the goal by his sole.

Cech made a misjudgment this time, and he couldn't react to such a shot with his no longer young nerves.

The ball then slipped from between Petr Cech's saving hands and flew straight into Chelsea's goal.

"Li Zihan!!! A very beautiful sliding tackle in front of the goal, winning back for Arsenal!!"

"Li Zihan shot the ball beautifully. When he almost lost the best opportunity, he abruptly snatched it back!! Of course, Wilshere also made a beautiful pass."

"It's a reward for the hard work of the Arsenal players and they're only two goals behind."

"Sure enough, at the critical moment, Arsenal's key man, Li, stood up!! His goal made Arsenal angry, but is that scene really going to be repeated?"

Everyone knows what Hullhouse is referring to, the "night of miracles" at the Etihad and Anfield.

After Li Zihan scored the goal, he did not celebrate. He ran behind Cech in a very flat manner, picked up the ball and ran to the center circle.

"This is Li, we are not unfamiliar with this scene. When Arsenal fell behind, Li Zihan would not celebrate after scoring a goal, but save all the time that can be saved, and then let the game restart."

The Arsenal players were also very familiar with Li Zihan's character, so they didn't celebrate. They just waved their fists very excitedly, and then cooperated with Li Zihan to rejoin the game.

Seeing that his team scored a goal, Wenger's brows did not completely relax. As the head coach, he still knows the current situation of the team very clearly-they are still two goals behind! !
Li Zihan's goal was like a shot in the heart of Arsenal. After the game restarted, the Arsenal players became more active.

Because this goal made them realize that it was correct to play like this, and they will continue to play like this! !

The competition between the two teams continued to be fierce. Of course, Arsenal's players appeared to be more "desperate".Even an organizational attacking midfielder like Ozil frequently tackles to join the frontcourt fight and midfield defense. Considering the problem of his own shortage of manpower, Ramsey did not actively attack forward, but stayed behind. Helping the team defend in the midfield, of course, once the opportunity is right, he will resolutely plug in.

Although Chelsea's players are also active, they are still slightly insufficient compared with Arsenal's players.

What's the hurry, we're still two goals ahead, and the opponent is still missing one player! ——This is the thinking of most Chelsea players.

But as an experienced midfielder and the soul of Chelsea, Lampard is obviously not one of them.He already saw something was wrong, so he wanted to remind his teammates.But the situation on the scene was so fast that he didn't even have time to remind him.

"Arsenal is really fighting. Look at Ozil. It's an earth-shaking change. When he was in Real Madrid, he was so active in defense. And when he came to Arsenal, let alone defense. .Even after the team fell behind, he seemed weak. But now he has turned into a desperate Saburo!"

Of course, the situation is not all moving in a favorable direction for Arsenal. The big press will naturally have to pay the price. The only midfielder Ramsey and Flamini, who went to the full-back in the away game, received a yellow card successively. .

Don't underestimate these two yellow cards. With one less player in Arsenal, their defense is already stretched. Now the full-backs and midfielders who are the main defenders have also received cards. The movement will be smaller, and at the same time, there will be a lot more scruples.

In the strong dialogue, these seemingly insignificant problems may become the ultimate reason for dominating the outcome of the entire game.

For Chelsea, Arsenal's biggest threat to them is not the Gunners' traditional pass and cut coordination, but their speed advantage.

The speed of Li Zihan and Chamberlain is fast enough, and then add Wilshere, an attacking midfielder who is not slow
After being rushed several times by the three in turn, how long can Chelsea's unreliable defense last?
When the game entered first-half injury time, the scene changed again.

Li Zihan's breakthrough with the ball made Chelsea's defense "flying", and Schurrle, who retreated to help the defense according to the request of coach Mourinho, brought Li Zihan down in the center right position. .

Schurrle's defensive ability is not strong. After all, his "professional" is offense, and he is a fast winger, so defense is even worse.

So it was a simple foul and he got a yellow card.
Schurrle's yellow card is not important to Arsenal, because the offensive player's yellow card can prevent him from actively fouling himself in the next game.So for Arsenal, they would rather see the difficult "newcomer" Matic in the Chelsea camp get a yellow card, which is better than Schurrle.

So what Arsenal care about is the frontcourt set kick. Compared with Schurrle's yellow card, the direct free kick given by the referee in the frontcourt is obviously more important to them.
