Chelsea continued the embarrassing history of 17 games without defeating Arsenal, but considering that Chelsea lost 1:2 in three previous games, Abrahimovic still quite recognizes Mourinho's record this time.

In this game, Momo and head coach Hector Cooper also conducted research after the game, and finally came to the conclusion that they would rather meet Arsenal again than Chelsea coached by Mourinho. When they meet, Real Madrid's abandoned player Makelele is really Momo's most troublesome opponent.

Makelele's attributes can be said to be mutual restraint with Momo. Makelele has excellent physical fitness, can fill up in time, and can fill in the gaps for the team's defense, while Momo is best at finding loopholes. Of course, the most The important thing is that Makelele's speed is not slow, and his height is about the same as that of Momo, which is equivalent to being able to stare at Momo at the same level, which also caused some troubles for Momo.

We must know that some people in later generations commented on the combination of Messi + Xavi + Iniesta in Barcelona. Why are they so tacit?Because they are about the same height, they can see each other at a glance.

Of course, there is still something to be thankful for, that is, Real Madrid does not have Makelele. According to the previous battle situation, Beckham is still the midfielder in this game, although Beckham often has a bright spot in the midfielder position. , but in terms of defense, Beckham is still far behind those professional midfielders.
