I'm a striker

Chapter 378 Salvation is Change
The blue team Chelsea can keep calm in the case of falling behind is indeed somewhat beyond Wenger's expectations.

At least according to the professor's prediction, if Arsenal can score the first goal quickly and dampen Chelsea's spirit, then this team, which is not considered mature in the eyes of the professor, will definitely be in chaos.

However, after Lampard stabilized Chelsea's morale, this seemingly immature team stabilized.

Arsenal don't want their opponents to be so calm.

Chelsea, who have stabilized, are much more terrifying than when they showed their sharpness.

the reason is simple.

Because Mata can't play fast.

You must know that in the previous rounds, Mata's performance was very average, and sometimes people even felt that he had disappeared.

To put it bluntly, this Chelsea team still revolves around Mata.

Chelsea played well in the first few rounds because the opponents did not understand the characteristics of Oscar and Hazard.

At the Emirates Stadium, Chelsea are calmly looking for opportunities to play.

Arsenal are not in a hurry here, after all, they are ahead.

But an uneasy sense of disobedience still made Wenger very vigilant.

In the No.301 minute of the first half, this uneasy sense of disobedience quickly became a reality.

Chelsea launched an attack, and Lampard's long ball once again lit up Chelsea's midfield. The veteran, who is over 20 years old, has the vitality of those players in their [-]s.

After sending the pass, Lampard ran forward confidently.

"It's really worthy of being one of the top midfielders in the Premier League. I don't worry that my pass will miss." Song Rentou looked at Lampard's back and started to defend.

When Song Rentou was playing professional football, Lampard was already the top midfielder in the British Isles.

Mourinho once said that Lampard is the world's number one midfielder.

England is really sad. England in [-] is known as the most powerful England in the history of a century. They have David Beckham, Lampard, Gerrard, Hargreaves, Michael Owen, Wayne Rooney, The luxurious lineup of Rio Ferdinand, John Terry, Ashley Cole and Gary Neville.

Perhaps the only weaker part of that England team was their goalkeeper. Before going to Germany, even many British fans never thought that this team would fall in the semi-finals.

The youth training in England in the 90s was very good. Whether it was the Hammers or Leeds United, or the Football School of the FA and the Class of [-] of Manchester United, it seemed that the British Isles would not worry about lacking talents at that time.

However, after entering the new century, with the joining of strong foreign aid and the FA's excessive emphasis on the performance of young players, the training model of young players runs counter to the traditional youth training.

That is to say, practice your body when you are young, and practice your skills when you grow up.

This led to the birth of a bunch of rough brothers in England.

You must know that in England in [-], everyone had their own unique skills.

Michael Owen's speed is as fast as a Latin player's delicate feet, Rooney's impact power, and Beckham's full moon scimitar.Gerrard and Lampard, the two top midfielders who have scored more than [-] goals in N consecutive seasons in the Premier League, and even scored [-] goals in a single season.

Even Hargreaves...

Perhaps many people have forgotten the name.

But how many people still remember that Ferguson even turned against Bayern Munich in order to bring Hargreaves to Old Trafford.

This player with excellent skills at his feet, who is as calm as a German player and as tough as an English player can be called one of the top midfielders of that era.

If Hargreaves' legs weren't so fragile, he would be a legend.

As for England's defense at the time...every one was a battle-tested star.

Of course, even the best coach can't solve the double virtue problem.

It's not a matter of incompatibility, but Gerrard and Lampard's styles are too similar...

With the passage of time, Gerrard's position has become more and more backward. The decline in physical fitness and stamina and Liverpool's long-term weakness have gradually worn away Gerrard's aggressiveness.

At Stamford Bridge, Lampard became more and more courageous.

Last season, he still scored ten goals in the league in a single season.

Song Rentou watched a video when he first played football.

The long passes of Gerrard and Lampard are no less than that of David Beckham. It was an era when England produced a large number of talents, and it was an era when it paid attention to its own unique skills.

Emirates Stadium, after Lampard sent a long pass forward, Arsenal's defense began to shrink.

On the right side of Chelsea, Oscar stopped the ball with his chest and gave the ball to Juan Mata. The Chelsea midfielder pulled the ball with his left foot, and then quickly handed the ball to Frank Lampa who came forward. Germany!
"Beautiful cooperation!!" The defense of Ramsey and Wilshere was pierced in an instant, and the defense was the huge loophole for these two little guys.

Because defense depends not only on hard work and running, but more importantly on experience.

In terms of experience, Lampard is far superior to them.

Lampard has maintained a high level of concentration, because he knows that if he is going to pry open the gate of the Emirates Stadium, he must find the moment when Arsenal's young midfielders are careless.

That's why Chelsea took the initiative to slow down the pace.

The concentration of young people is not comparable to that of veterans.

Especially Wilshere and Ramsey, the two stunned young men.

Slowly looking for opportunities, and then giving the opponent a fatal blow, this is Lampard's football philosophy.

He is one of the most scoring midfielders in the Premier League!
Let him take the ball at the top of the penalty area, but no team dares to let him kick and shoot from that position!
God knows how many Premier League teams' gates have been breached by Lampard like this!
Koscielny hastily stepped up to defend.

The consciousness and response of this French tower are very good.

Lampard's movements are not fast, and speed is not his specialty. Although he is very confrontational, his real ability to gain a foothold in the Premier League is definitely not just long passes and long shots.

His basic skills and small skills are not gorgeous, but every movement is very practical.

Lampard's eyes are on Koscielny's center of gravity.

One thing about football is the same as that of basketball, it is all about taking the opponent's center of gravity away.

This is why players who defend well are mostly players with a stable base, because their center of gravity is not easy to be taken away.

Koscielny's foot is definitely very stable, otherwise he would not be able to become Arsenal's starting central defender.

But at this moment, he sprinted forward.

His movement frequency is much faster.

In this way, the center of gravity of his lower body is naturally not so stable.

There seemed to be a smile on Lampard's slightly vicissitudes of face.

"I'm really not old yet...I can still play football. It's great to be young, and I can still play for more than a dozen seasons...Football, I really can't bear it."

Lampard really wants to renew his contract with Chelsea.

But it's impossible for him to cut his salary significantly.

Because it's not about money.

But a kind of dignity.

For a player like him who has won countless championships and honors and lacks almost everything, respect is above all else.

No one can undo his exploits, absolutely no one.

Time is really a killing knife. The former England team was known as the number one male model team in Europe. Except for the handsome Italian guys who can compare with them, there is no other team in Europe that is more handsome than them.

Lampard is definitely a handsome guy too.

He is different from the heartthrob like Beckham. His handsomeness is more of a kind of fortitude and firmness.

But no matter how handsome the face is, it cannot withstand the erosion of time.

The wrinkles on the forehead and the corners of the eyes, as well as the declining physical fitness and stamina every year, are warning Frank Lampard: You are no longer young.

Since coming to Chelsea, that blue color seems to have been completely imprinted in Lampard's heart.

The Blues Magic Lamp, that's what Chelsea fans call him.

The heart of steel is the respect of the English media for him.

No matter which nickname, what cannot be changed is that on the day Frank Lampard retires, English football may really never find such a midfielder again.

Football really doesn't have to be top speed and top body.

Lampard's center of gravity moves in the direction of Koscielny's forward dive.

Then suddenly he made a spike with his right foot, like a crossover in a basketball.

The Emirates Stadium is like a thunderstorm!
A thunderous spike.

For Song Rentou's spike, the ball will stick tightly to the turf. This is a technique honed in Iberia.

Lampard's basic skills are not that solid.

But absolutely practical.

After the ball bounced off the ground, Lampard hooked it with his left foot.

At this moment, Koscielny has completely lost his center of gravity!
He made way for Frank Lampard to shoot!

Face Arsenal goalkeeper Szczesny!
This is!

Frank - Lampard's box!
The Chelsea fans have already raised their feet high, they have seen too much of Lampard's explosive shot!
On Arsenal's bench, Wenger has also stood up!

Lampard is on his way!

Do not!
No!

Gao Lao Mertesacker has made up the defense!
Mertesacker, who predicted that Koscielny would be rashly passed by, chose to give up marking the players around him and come to defend Lampard.

Lampard is very happy.

Because he felt the respect Arsenal had for him.

One of the best midfielders in the British Isles sent forward with a light left foot.

"If I was two or three years younger, I would definitely try to shoot." The breeze brushed Lampard's face eroded by the years.

Mertesacker was stunned, Gao Lao felt for the first time a feeling of a hero's twilight and sorrowful vicissitudes.

Maybe, I'm really old.

The years have taken away not only my physical fitness and fitness.

Stephen, maybe you're right.

With a retreated position, you can play for a few more years, which can protect your body more.

The years have also taken away our sharpness.

This Chelsea team is good, really good.But it's time for me to take a backseat.

This is no longer our time.

The entire Emirates Stadium seemed to hear a bell.

This is the bell of the end of an era.

Lampard watched Wilshere and Ramsey out of the corner of his eye.

Perhaps these young people will usher in a new era in the future.

Come on...Fernando, you are our number nine.

Don't tell me, your heart and fighting spirit have also been taken away.

In Arsenal's restricted area, a blue figure appeared like a gust of wind.

Fernando Torres receives a pass from Lampard in the box.

There is no one around him to guard him.

I don't know why, Arsenal fans are a little lucky, because Lampard didn't hit the goal, but passed it to Torres who likes to 'clear'?
But this is a very naive and lovely idea.

Fernando Torres' eyes lit up.

In the first four rounds, he has not scored a single goal.

This once sharp golden boy, the super striker who laid the foundation for the rise of Iberian football, and the player who made fun of the entire German defense line by himself is now known as the world's number one left back.

Can he really not shoot?
The answer is of course no.

He is wearing number nine.

If the defense makes a mistake and the opponent gets a single shot, then it is not the thoughts of the fans that decide the game, but the thoughts of the players on both sides.

What decides the game is the player who gets the single shot and the goalkeeper who guards his own goal.

Schensny rushed out quickly.

He wants to control Torres' shot path.

This is a method that can block the angle of Fernando Torres' shot.

Fernando Torres, who has cut off his long blond hair, is no longer as handsome as he used to be.

What is added is also the feeling that time is not forgiving.

After coming to Chelsea, Torres experienced a scoring drought for too long.His self-confidence seemed to be completely worn away.

Some people say that Lampard's passing is not as good as Gerrard's.

In fact, this is not quite right.

It can only be said that Fernando Torres came at a bad time.

If Drogba had left Chelsea at that time, maybe Torres would have played.

But for the old comrades who have fought side by side for ten years, they are of course more willing to believe in Drogba than Torres.

When teammates don't trust themselves enough, the striker will also have doubts about himself.

Over time, a vicious circle has become what it is now.

Thank you, Frank...

Although I may not be able to get back to my former self, but this is normal, isn't it?

Isn't football such a sport?

When we once climbed to the top of the world class, we should think about it, and we will also fall one day.

Because football cannot have a strong player forever.

The strong are just the goals and objects that everyone surpasses.

Torres stopped the ball.

His breathing is very even.

This is the striker's best breath before taking a shot.

This proves that the striker's body is very relaxed.

In such a state, he is often able to perform at his usual best level.

When football should be tense, it should be tense, but when it should be relaxed, it should also be relaxed.How to find such a balance is the key to the game.

Szczesny noticed these subtle changes in Torres, a goalkeeper with exceptional dynamic vision.

So he quickened his pace while waving his arms exaggeratedly.

He tried to use his actions to disrupt Torres' pace and breathing.

Yet Fernando Torres acted as if he hadn't seen him.

I was completely immersed in my own consciousness.

This is a terrible concentration.

And all of the above happened in just a few breaths.

Time seemed to go very, very slowly.

Cheers?

So what if it's boos.

I've enjoyed countless cheers.

I've had enough glory with one of the best national teams in the world too...

But if you can.

I really want a league championship trophy.

So, I'm not fighting for myself.

Did the game score?
In terms of ability, I am no weaker than Song Rentou.

But I will lose for sure.

Thank you, Frank, for teaching me how to play football.Now that I'm wearing Chelsea's No. [-] shirt, I should be fighting for the Blues to win.

This is a young and energetic team.

Our opponents are strong.

And yet it made me happy, really happy.Because I seem to have found my former self, no, it should be a brand new self.

Remember my name.

Remember my name again.

I'm not a golden boy, Fernando Torres.

I'm not a handsome guy or an idol.

I'm just a striker.

A striker wearing the Chelsea number nine.

I am.

"Fernando—Torres!!"

"" "" "IneoooooooOOOOOOOOO ,ooooOOOOOOOOOOOO, time, time, time, time, "

"Chelsea equalized! Oh my goodness, they played so patiently. Did we read that right? Yes, it was Torres' first goal of the season!! He's an expert in key games, Dee Mateo’s choice to use him instead of Demba Ba is too wise! This player who has experienced countless big scenes, teamed up with Lampard to equalize the score for Chelsea!!”

After scoring the goal, Torres opened his arms excitedly, then ran towards the corner pole in a iconic way, clenched his fists, and began to slide and kneel!
Lampard walked towards Torres with a smile, and then touched his head with his hand.

Hazard and Oscar, who were not yet familiar with Torres, also ran over to give him high fives.

Mata went to his compatriots: "Sorry, Fernando, I didn't give you enough support."

Torres, who stood up slowly from the turf, shook his head. He patted Mata on the shoulder, "For victory, I can do whatever you want..."

At the Emirates Stadium, Chelsea's sense of disobedience has become a reality!
They were not in a hurry to equalize the score but logically equalized the score!
Wenger frowned.

"Don't underestimate Fernando. Although his running distance per game is not as good as mine, it's because he doesn't have enough game time. If you change it to run every 10 minutes...he is the top striker in the Premier League. Second." Song Rentou said to his teammates.

Koscielny, Ramsey, Wilshere and Mertesacker all lowered their heads, and they apologized to Szczesny with some embarrassment.

"But you don't need to blame yourself too much, because we will definitely lead again." If it were someone else, the Arsenal players would definitely feel that this way of speaking is very painful.

But I don't know why, when Song Rentou told them this.

What every Arsenal player gains is confidence.

Song Rentou wiped the sweat from his forehead, "The Premier League is really too strong. It is obvious that every game is played 100%, but winning a game is even more difficult..."

After taking a deep breath, Song Rentou and Giroud looked at each other, walked to the middle circle, and prepared to kick off again.

At this time, Song Rentou noticed that the expression of Fernando Torres who was standing in front of him again had changed.

"Interesting... It seems that there is another opponent in the shooter list." Song Rentou raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

　PS: I still can't help saving the lovely Toniu.But tonight is Tony's self-salvation.A preview, at 15:2 am on the 45th, Milan will play Parma, Toniu's new journey, I really hope he can get back to scoring goals!His hard work is beyond doubt!
