There is a dream called football

Chapter 275 Stamford Bridge Bus
Wenger found that Chelsea with one goal in hand is really good, and the defense trained by Mourinho is indeed very strong, especially their midfielder.

Henry has no chance at all. He plays more of an attacking midfielder than a genuine striker.

Mourinho crossed his legs on the seat, chewing gum, and looked calm. At this time, the game has entered his favorite mode, which is the Mourinho mode.

But soon something happened on the court, and that was Gilbert's flying shovel that put Robben on the ground.

Peter Pan fell to the ground in pain, Chelsea's bench players jumped up, and the two sides almost clashed.

Whether Gilbert is in Brazil or Arsenal, he is a shovel in the midfield. It is normal for him to make such an action, but this is a London derby, and the smell of gunpowder is already strong.

Henry ran over and hid Gilbert behind his back, lest he and his opponent deepen the conflict.

Wenger is worried, this is likely to be a red card, if the referee deliberately balances it.

Of course, according to the standards of the Premier League, it should be a yellow card if it is reasonable. After all, it is well known that the scale of the Premier League is the largest among the five major leagues.

After the referee and the assistant referee calmed down the conflict on the sidelines, he walked towards the perpetrator Gilbert. The most critical moment came, whether it was a yellow card or a red card.

yellow card!

Wenger breathed a sigh of relief. Arsenal's midfielders, Fabregas, Pires, and Hleb are all offensive players. The only one who can defend is Gilbert. If he goes down, it will be a big loss for Arsenal.

Wenger yelled again, and Mourinho also stood up. One felt that the yellow card was too heavy, and the other felt that there was no red card, which was unreasonable.

"It's definitely a red card."

"He almost crippled my Robben."

Wenger was very dissatisfied, he walked towards Mourinho, "Shut up, you are interfering with the referee."

Mourinho smiled and made a gesture to shut up. At this moment, the fourth official came over and stopped the two from continuing to argue.

On the court, Wenger has noticed that Hleb is very fast, but he is a pure winger.

This kind of Eastern European winger is very powerful, such as Blokhin in Ukraine in the past, and Zhirkov in Russia now, but this kind of winger has little change on the wing. If he fights back, Hleb is a great threat. But now he is playing positional warfare and facing Chelsea's intensive defense. Hleb has no way to do it.

Mourinho looked at it and smiled in his heart: "You idiot, you don't use Li Qiao."

Despite Chelsea's dense defense, Pires was able to deliver very subtle passes.

How good is Pires?

In the 2002 World Cup, the French team injured Zizou. It was originally planned to use Pires, but Pires was also injured. However, this also shows that in the mind of the French coach, Pires' organizational ability is comparable to that of Zidane.

He sends the ball into the penalty area, Bergkamp can control the ball in a small area, get the ball, but it is still the same problem, Chelsea's defenders are not fuel-efficient, Carvalho's ability to cover is very fast, Bergkamp has no chance to shoot.

At the end of the first half, Chelsea led 1-0, the fans at Stamford Bridge were very happy, it seemed that the team could abuse their opponents again, and the Arsenal fans were also worried that their team would lose the London derby again.

Li Qiao looked in his eyes and was anxious, but he couldn't help it. It was impossible for the player to tell the head coach to replace me. In this case, the head coach would look down on you even more and think you were unprofessional, so Li Qiao could only wait for his chance.

When returning to the stadium in the second half, Mourinho patted Li Qiao on the sidelines, "Do you have any regrets? If I were Wenger, then you must be the main force."

Li Qiao also patted Mourinho, "Thank you for your trust, Jose."

The second half was still the same, Arsenal attacked, Chelsea counterattacked, look at the substitute players who stood up for Chelsea, Wright Jr., Essien, Gudjohnsen, all of them are super players.

At this time, Chelsea's lineup is enviable, which is also the basis for them to be proud of the Premier League, but Mourinho is not ready to make substitutions at this time, because it seems that the situation on the pitch is not bad.

Arsenal failed to attack, the ball was lost in the midfield, and then the opponent counterattacked directly after stealing the ball, with two feet too far, the ball reached Robben's feet, Crespo and Drogba were both asking for the ball in the middle, Robben had a lot of choice.

The Dutchman adjusted to his left foot and then curled the ball into the penalty area. Chelsea fans saw the possibility of the penalty area again, and at this moment, Lehmann struck and took the ball firmly.

Arsenal fans raised their arms and shouted, fortunately there is Lehmann.

It was very difficult for Lehmann to pick the ball, but the German's technique is really good, and he has a good judgment on high-altitude balls.

But being beaten like this is not enough. In desperation, Arsenal changed the characteristics of their ground football and began to try some high-altitude balls.

With high-altitude balls thrown into the penalty area again and again, Arsenal found that they were really not good at this traditional English football.

This may also be the reason why Arsenal is not as good as Manchester United and Chelsea. For example, Manchester United, they have good skills, but once the game cannot be played, they will quickly switch to traditional English football.

Many people complain about the ugliness of English football, but in many cases, at the last moment of the game, what better choice can there be than English football?
At this moment, Wenger finally remembered Li Qiao and Van Persie, and he gestured for them to come over.

"Remember that time you two played in practice?"

"Yes, but that's training."

"Yeah, I want you to do the same in the game, you know?"

Li Qiao nodded, and Van Persie shook his head.

Because if the seat on his side is lost and the ball is lost, then whose is it?
"Boss, what about my defensive mission?"

The Netherlands is a country where the idea of ​​total defense was born. Van Persie knew from an early age that even if he is an offensive player, he must be responsible for the defense of a certain area. This is almost instinctive.

In the Netherlands, even players like Robben will go back to help defend. This is also the strength of Dutch football.

But I didn't expect Wenger to say to Van Persie: "You don't need to defend, just attack with all your strength."

"..."

Van Persie was a little sweaty, but he understood what the coach meant.

At this moment, Mourinho saw Arsenal raise a substitution card, and two Arsenal players stood on the sidelines.

This was expected, and Li Qiao was finally about to make an appearance.
