Chapter 190 Evening and Scorching

At the end of the half, Arsenal fell behind 0 to 2. Ballack's two goals gave Arsenal a taste of the power of a superstar!
Matthew also realized the difficulties facing Arsenal at this time. Now Arsenal's players are indeed at a disadvantage in the midfield, and they cannot compete with Chelsea's steel midfield.

"Matthew, do you think there is any problem with Wenger's employment?" Adams suddenly asked this question. Although Li Yuxin was placed in the center position, Arsenal had a lot of offensive opportunities, but the two sides were not as sharp as before, and the midfielder was not able to confront Chelsea, so Adams asked everyone the biggest question in the first half.

"I don't think there is a big problem. As we have seen, although Arsenal are behind in the game, it is because of their shooting problems. Have you noticed that Lee is in that position? Although the goal did not reach the goal, the offense is more layered and there are more opportunities. In the first half, they had 9 shots, [-] more than Chelsea. It's just bad luck. You must know that they are facing a team like Chelsea. If Arsenal didn't miss a few chances, Arsenal might have an advantage. Therefore, Wenger reminds his players to improve their shooting. fatality."

"It seems that Matthew is still in favor of Wenger's employment. Indeed, I also think that Arsenal are a little anxious. They seem to resist the confrontation in the midfield. Sometimes they are too fraught. Do they want to win the game too much and play a little bit?" It's simple, I didn't play the advantage of my own cooperation, well, everyone, let's look forward to what changes will happen to Arsenal."

"What's wrong with you today? You missed the goal so much. You have to play with more confidence and patience. Cesc, you need to cooperate more with both sides in the second half, and Lee, you need to change your position and be more flexible. Robin and Puff need to cut in from time to time, pulling Chelsea's attention. In short, I want you to do everything possible to score. Understand? I don't want you to see your defensive misplaced in the second half, Gilberto, I want you to run." Looking at the disciples with a solemn face and a bad tone, it was obvious that Wenger was about to fight desperately.

Arsenal continued to attack in the second half

In this way Arsenal pushed the football "slowly" into Chelsea's half, saying "slowly" compared to the previous gust of wind and rain.Not actually slow.

When it reaches the 30-meter area, it is difficult to push forward.

Chelsea have already set up their positions and waited for Arsenal at the front of the penalty area.Their defense is interlocking, and it is difficult to find loopholes in a short period of time.

Li Yuxin was originally in the penalty area. Seeing that he was surrounded by Chelsea players, he probably wouldn't be able to find opportunities, so he ran out of the penalty area and retreated to meet his teammates. By the way, he also hoped to create some opportunities for Van Persie.

He really wants to score goals in the game, but he has not been carried away. He knows that collective honor is more important, and the most important thing is for the team to win, not to score goals by himself.

So as long as it is possible to create better opportunities for his teammates, he is also willing to be a green leaf.

After pulling it out, he raised his arm in midfield and asked his teammates to ask for it.

But at this time, Hleb, who was holding the ball, had already made a decision, and did not see Li Yuxin who raised his arm to ask.

Hleb opted for the simplest approach - kicking the football into Chelsea's penalty area through the air.

This is actually a helpless approach after finding no good solution.

After all, Arsenal is not the kind of team that likes to fight in the air. The match against Manchester United was limited by the venue, so it was a last resort.

Even the commentator criticized Hleb's cross for being too irresponsible.

"Hleb crosses, it's not a good choice"

As soon as the words fell, Terry, who was staring at Van Persie, jumped up high, pressed him under him, and then shook his head and pushed the football out.

And Van Persie didn't even take off to compete for the top - such a cross is really meaningless, as a center forward, he doesn't want to grab points...

Terry pushed the ball out of the penalty area and everyone was ready to control the second point, whether it was Arsenal attacking or Chelsea defending.

But when they ran to the football and followed the football with their eyes, they realized that there was already someone waiting for the football to land.
"Rong"

Amidst Marcel Leff's exclamation, Li Yuxin stepped forward with his left foot, firmly planted himself on the grass, then twisted sideways and swung his right leg at the same time.

The power rises from the bottom of the left foot, strengthened by twisting the waist, and then transferred to the right leg, making his right leg kick the football hard like a windmill

volley
He accurately judged the landing point of the football, and was the first to arrive, then drew his bow and shot the arrow, and set up his posture
When he hit the football hard with his right foot, he felt the reaction back, and the three toes on the outside of his right foot hit the football firmly.

Not the instep, but the outer three toes.

When he drew the ball, Barak and Graeme arrived, but they were powerless to stop the ball, which whizzed past them, and the wind blew the hairs on their faces.

"hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo—"

Senkla roared with a long voice.

The football drew a white trace in the air, just like the wake of a plane after it flew by.

Hilario jumped up to save the ball, but the ball circled his fingers and then fell sharply

It hit the lower edge of the crossbar, then bounced down into the goal, and then rushed up until it was stopped by the net above the goal...

"...gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool"

Senke took a breath and hissed again.

"Lee! Lee! Lee! Lee! Lee! Lee!"

...

Arsenal fans are shouting, at the critical moment, their new gun king and captain stood up!

As for Li Yuxin, he raised his hands high and performed his usual celebratory gesture!It was also discovered that the biggest weakness of Chelsea's defense is the goalkeeper. Due to Cech and Cudicini's injuries, Chelsea's goalkeeper is the No. [-] goalkeeper, and his reaction and ability are far inferior to the first two!
Hilario didn’t expect Kaka’s shot to be so fast. He waited until the ball flew out of Kaka’s feet before reacting—this is the difference between a long-term goalkeeper and a long-term substitute goalkeeper. The goalkeeper simply does not have time to react, and only by making judgments in advance can he make timely saves
Kaka's shot happened to be a high-quality shot, with perfect speed, strength, angle and suddenness. Hilario was already a step behind when he made a save. When he was halfway through the flight, the ball had already passed half a meter in front of his hand.
The next moment, the net trembled violently, and at the same time, there was a huge cheer from the Mallorca fans

After the ball flew past Hilario, it quickly flew into the far corner of the goal, hit the net on the right side of the goal, and then fell into the goal. After seeing the ball fly into the goal, Kaka immediately raised his hands, and then ran two steps forward. Klose and Torres who rushed behind him immediately surrounded him

"

Wenger waved his fist. The goal came a little too fast, but it was a matter of course. The opponent's goalkeeper was indeed not as good as Petr Cech. Although Li Yuxin's shot was of high quality, it was still possible for Cech to save this shot. After all, there is still a big difference between the third goalkeeper and the main goalkeeper...

But in any case, leading is leading. Mallorca's goal was scored by pressing the frontcourt, which is enough to prove that Arsenal's current ability to create opportunities in the frontcourt is no worse than Chelsea.
Mourinho waved his arms angrily—he always suffered from the full-back when playing important games. If Del Horno hadn’t been sent off with a red card because of his insanity last season, Barcelona might not have been able to win that away game. This summer, Horno had been given up by him and thrown to Valencia. Cole’s joining had stabilized Chelsea’s left flank, but this time it became a pitfall on the right again...

In fact, Arsenal's two full-backs are not very reliable defensively, but Wenger has always only used their offense, and the defense was completed by the midfielder, which made them not so sloppy defensively.
The position of full-back really screwed Mourinho to death, and Cech was injured, so did the goalkeeper!
In the 54th minute, Li Yuxin kicked the world wave to equalize the score, and then Arsenal quickly defended firmly!

And Lampard itself is not an organizational midfielder. His strength lies in his long-range shots after going forward. Essien is also a long-range shooter, but Arsenal's midfield strength is now quite high.

With neither the midfield nor the wings dominant, Chelsea's last resort is to pass the ball to the two strikers, and then rely on the personal abilities of the two strikers to open up the situation.

In the end, Chelsea can only attack through one method - that is to pass the ball to Shevchenko. The Ukrainian nuclear warhead's personal breakthrough ability and long-range shooting ability are also very good.

Mourinho thought in his heart, this is one of the reasons why he chose to make Shevchenko the main force of the offense at this time, trying to open up the situation.

First of all, because of the stalemate on the field, other positions may not be able to open up the situation, and Shevchenko can become a weapon to open up the situation, and secondly, because Mourinho wants to take a look, the young central defender Wenger is optimistic about is not really that good.

After Lampard got the ball in the midfield, he passed the ball directly to Shepchenko who pulled out of the penalty area. Senderos jumped out of the penalty area, while Kolo Touré was marking Drogba in the penalty area.

Shevchenko is also very clear about this. In the summer, he left AC Milan, which has played for seven years, and joined Chelsea in cold London. It is also a huge challenge for Shevchenko. He will choose to join another top team at the age of 30. For Shevchenko, apart from Abramovich’s kind invitation, it is also a reason to prove his strength in the UK.

However, during his time at Chelsea, his performance was not particularly outstanding. In the past eight rounds of the Premier League, he played every game and played all five times, but only scored one goal.

Shevchenko himself can't figure this out, because his performance in AC Milan was still quite good last season. He scored 28 goals in [-] appearances in the league. He also scored [-] goals in the Champions League and became the second scorer in the Champions Cup.

However, there is not much time for him to adapt. In the Champions League, he failed to score in two games. In the first round, Chelsea relied on the goals of two midfielders, Essien and Lampard. The last round relied on Drogba’s hat trick.

So the current situation is also an opportunity for him.

Arsenal used Senderos to mark him, and Shevchenko also felt a little uncomfortable, but for a veteran like him, he doesn't care much about some false names-I can pass you and score, that's enough, people will only say "Sheva scored again!" instead of just passing a newcomer...

Shevchenko, who received the ball and turned around, immediately saw Senderos rushing towards him. He didn't stop his pace, but dunked the ball diagonally, and then directly prepared to dribble the ball from his ribs!
This is also one of Shevchenko's signature offensive methods. When he was at his peak, he took the first step, and few people could keep up with him. After the first step was thrown away, it was very difficult to catch up with him.

Although Shevchenko is 30 years old now, he feels that his explosive power and speed have not declined much. After taking this step, he seems to see a broad road in front of him!
However, at this moment, in the corner of his field of vision, a red figure flashed, and Senderos reacted immediately, and quickly followed up!
More importantly, Shevchenko can feel that the opponent's speed can completely keep up with him!
"Is this guy too fast, or am I slowing down?" A thought flashed through Shepchenko's mind. If it was the former, maybe he would just lament that he was a dreadful young man, but if it was the latter...

Shevchenko quickly waved away this unresponsible emotion, and then took the initiative to stick together with the opponent. The reason why Shevchenko is called a nuclear warhead is that in addition to his fast speed and strong explosive power, his physical confrontation ability is also quite good. Basically, he will not be at a disadvantage in a physical confrontation with him.

The speed of the opponent is not bad, but the confrontation may not be so good. The average person is agile and strong, and there is always only a little bit...

However, Senderos happens to be a player with a fairly comprehensive physical fitness. This is what Wenger likes in him. In terms of physical fitness, Senderos is perfect, but as a central defender, his psychological quality is still not very good. It has declined, and its physical fitness cannot be compared with Senderos, who is in his prime. When the two leaned together, Shevchenko found that he was the one who started to lose his balance!
When he discovered this, he was completely suppressed by Senderos. Shevchenko tried to take a shot, but he couldn't shoot. The ball flew weakly to the goal and was easily hugged by Lehmann.

"Good job!"

Li Yuxin stretched out his thumb on the field. Wenger used Senderos for this. Shepchenko is actually not a person with particularly good skills. His shooting skills are first-class, but his passing skills often rely on speed and explosive power. Shooting immediately after opening the gap is quite lethal, but if he can't swing the gap, his threat will drop a lot.

He has always performed well in AC Milan, more because he has always had a top organizational midfielder behind him. From the beginning Boban and others to Pirlo and Rui Costa, these are all masters of midfield passing and can provide enough fire support for Shevchenko. However, the sudden decline in Chelsea's state has a lot to do with Chelsea not having such a midfielder. Everything has to be found by himself. In this regard, he is not as good as Drogba.

Senderos still has many problems, but to deal with a Shevchenko whose explosive power has begun to decline and has no support behind him, his characteristics are the most suitable.

After being rectified by Senderos in this way, Shevchenko was a little bit off. After all, the Chelsea midfielder can't provide him with too much support now, and the means of dribbling and breaking through happened to be stared to death by Pepe, which made Shevchenko completely unable to play.
