Football: Invincible starting from krypton gold

Chapter 163 The Society Shield Cup 2
After Chen Xiao scored the goal, the whole stands where the Chelsea fans were at St. James's Stadium erupted into crazy cheers. Amidst the cheers, Chen Xiao made a passionate kneel down in the stands, and then showed the number and name behind him to all the Chelsea fans, as if to tell everyone, I come, I see, I conquer!
At this time, other Chelsea players also quickly gathered around. Lampard, as the captain of the team, was the first to hug Chen Xiao tightly. The goal not only caught Arsenal off guard, but even Chelsea themselves were caught off guard. Mourinho on the sidelines was a little stunned when Chen Xiao scored the goal. No one thought that Chen Xiao would suddenly shoot from that distance and position.

This goal can be said to be a display of Chen Xiao's personal ability. Wenger on the sidelines looked at Chen Xiao who was celebrating the goal with a complicated expression. It can be said that this player definitely belonged to Arsenal and was very close to Arsenal.

In the past few years, Arsenal’s investment in the team can be said to be very low, because most of the team’s income has been invested in the construction of the new stadium, which has caused the team’s finances to be very tight.

So in Wenger's mind, Wenger miscalculated regarding Chen Xiao's treatment, because he never thought that Chen Xiao's worth would rise so quickly.

The game was still going on, and the referee interfered with the Chelsea players who were still celebrating their goals, urging the game to resume as soon as possible.

Finally, at the referee's whistle, the game restarted.

Chen Xiao's world wave in the 19th minute poured a bucket of cold water on the gunmen's heads, making them completely awake.

The Arsenal players on the field realized that they had underestimated Chen Xiao too much, especially Hleb and Arsenal's left back Eboue. The goal just now was that the two had problems defending Chen Xiao.

The game continued on the field. After taking the lead, Chelsea gradually controlled the rhythm of the game and began to slowly gain some advantages in the midfield. In Mourinho's understanding of football, he has always emphasized the control of the midfield. The winner of the midfield wins the world. This is the core of Mourinho's tactics.

Lampard's frequent back row and Thiago's cooperation in the middle put a lot of pressure on Arsenal's defense in the middle, while Chen Xiao and Robben also frequently retreated from left to right and changed positions, which made the defensive players in charge of marking the two exhausted.

However, when Chelsea gradually strengthened the offensive in the frontcourt, Arsenal also had more chances to counterattack. Henry's counterattacks in the frontcourt also made Chelsea's defense very afraid, and they did not dare to relax at all.

About 10 minutes have passed since Chen Xiao scored a goal. During this time, Chen Xiao has also become the most active player on the court.

In the 32nd minute of the game, Chen Xiao crossed after a breakthrough from the wing, and the football accurately found Shevchenko who followed up in the middle, but it was a pity that Shevchenko's close-range header shot was blocked by Lehmann.

It is often said that wasting opportunities will be punished. Three minutes after Shevchenko’s shot, Fabregas intercepted Thiago’s pass in the midfield and made a long pass to Henry in the frontcourt. After Henry got the ball, he successfully got rid of Carvalho who was closely defending him with a fake move, and then accelerated into the penalty area, single-handedly!

Faced with such an opportunity, Henry is unlikely to waste it, even though he is facing world-class goalkeeper Petr Cech, and he hits it easily with a push.

In the 39th minute of the game, Arsenal counterattacked with a long pass to tie the score at 1-1.

Seeing that the team finally equalized the score, the excited Wenger once again showed his celebration posture unchanged for thousands of years in front of the fans, clenching his fists and squatting slightly. This posture that seems to be constipated is also a black point that Wenger is often ridiculed for.

Mourinho shook his head slightly when he saw such a conceded goal. This goal, like the one Chelsea led, is a display of the player's personal ability.

After the equalizer, Arsenal's momentum on the field improved, and they were able to back and forth with Chelsea in the midfield. In this way, the situation on the field became a stalemate again. Just when everyone thought that the first half would end with a 1-1 score, Chen Xiao, who was frequently looking for opportunities in the frontcourt, was rewarded.

In the 44th minute of the game, after receiving a pass back from Robben on the left, Thiago made a through ball directly on the spot and found Chen Xiao who was slanting from the right to the center. Both of them chose the combination of the pass and the running position very cleverly. First, Thiago’s pass fully considered Chen Xiao’s speed, but the angle he chose was also very tricky. The time of hesitation, and it is this slight hesitation that is the most deadly, because at the moment of their hesitation, Chen Xiao accelerated to get the ball from between the two of them and directly entered the penalty area, just like the ball that Arsenal equalized just now, single-handedly!

Facing Lehman who was waiting for him, Chen Xiao made Lehman lose his original position with a fake shot. After he swung his right foot vigorously, he gently picked the ball with his toes. The football flew over the head of Lehman who had lost his center of gravity and sat on the ground like an obedient elf, and then fell into the goal.

2 to 1, Chelsea once again took a one-goal lead before the end of the first half.

This goal can be regarded as the credit of Chen Xiao and Thiago. Chen Xiao's shot is very beautiful, but Thiago's pass is also full of imagination.

And from this goal, it can be seen how calm Chen Xiao was when he shot in the penalty area.

After the goal, Chen Xiao ran to Mourinho immediately and hugged Mourinho tightly. He used this goal to thank Mourinho for his trust in him.

After being hugged by his new disciple, Mourinho was also very happy. It is also a very fulfilling thing to see the players he has chosen to kill the Quartet on the court.
