Strong Waist

Chapter 8 So bad

There is still a gap between the FA Cup champion and the Premier League champion, but this kind of competition is generally not taken seriously, so it is almost played as a warm-up match.

But the intensity of this game has exceeded the so-called warm-up match. Both sides are working hard to win the championship.

Of course, Arsenal is more pressing.

In fact, for many, they were surprised by Arsenal's commitment to the Community Shield.

They believe that Arsenal's goal this season should be to win the league and even the Champions League.

After all, they were just one shot away from winning the Champions League last season.

Their strength and performance give Arsenal a chance to win this honor and usher in their second Champions League trophy in history.

Won the Champions League twice in five years!

This could be the start of a dynasty for Arsenal.

After all, in football, there are really few teams with such control over the competition.

Most teams start to become inconsistent after winning the Champions League. Although Arsenal also experienced this problem, they quickly completed the transformation.

Therefore, there is no need for this in a Community Shield.

But they underestimated Mourinho's ambitions.

All the championships he calls include the Community Shield champions.

For Mourinho and even Arsenal, the gold content of the Community Shield does not mean anything, but it is a recognized goal and beginning for their ambitions this season.

Win the Community Shield and then compete in the league and other competitions.

They will use this to make more adjustments to the atmosphere and morale.

So Arsenal played very hard.

As for Chelsea, it is purely because the new coach Sarri wants to bring a championship to the team. Although it has no gold content, the implication is good.

But what he didn't expect was that Arsenal would fight them to the death and be so suppressive.

Now Sarri regrets boasting in front of Chelsea owner Abramovich that he will win the Community Shield.

Judging from this form, Arsenal really wants this championship and will not let it go to them.

But even so, Sarri has no retreat.

Now Chelsea just need to stabilize the rhythm, let Arsenal continue to miss good opportunities, and then take the opportunity to make the final decision.

Yes!

Sarri believes that Arsenal have many offensive opportunities, but their ability to seize them is very poor.

How many shots has Arsenal taken?

Did you get in?

"Did we waste too many opportunities?"

Arteta asked worriedly.

Generally speaking, there are serious consequences for a team's wasted opportunities.

If you waste even one opportunity, the head coach and even your teammates will be furious.

But in this game, Arsenal's forwards wasted too many opportunities.

But the strange thing is that neither Mourinho nor the players on the field showed any anger, but instead encouraged each other.

Mourinho even sat on the bench with the presence of an old man, showing no intention of moving his butt.

Listening to Arteta's words, Mourinho said: "It will be normal soon. Now they are looking for a feeling."

"Looking for a feeling?" Arteta asked doubtfully; "What feeling are you looking for?"

Mourinho smiled; "The overall feeling!"

Arteta couldn't understand, but Mourinho was so nagging sometimes, so he didn't ask too much, but turned to look at the court.

At this time, the ball is at Arsenal's feet.

In this game, Arsenal's ball possession rate was not high, but they had twice as many shots as Chelsea.

It can be said that Chelsea is controlling the ball and Arsenal is shooting.

But what's the use of just shooting without scoring?

After the ball was passed to Kanter, Kanter held the ball and observed it for a moment, and then passed it to Lucai.

Lucky had no intention of sticking to the ball and split the ball directly with one kick.

This move surprised everyone.

After all, Lucky still guaranteed the ball at his feet before. Even if there was a confrontation, he would stop and observe for a while.

But now that there is no confrontation, the communication is very fast.

After the ball was passed from Lucky's feet, the rhythm increased slightly.

The attack was fruitless and the ball was passed back.

Lucky once again touched the ball and passed it to Aubameyang.

This time, the rhythm has increased slightly.

After two superpositions, the improvement in rhythm has been relatively obvious.

When the ball was passed from Lucky's feet for the third time, everyone in Arsenal turned into a pass.

The sudden increase in rhythm brings higher intensity running and confrontation.

Chelsea are very uncomfortable with this rhythm.

In Mourinho's words, Chelsea is now a bunch of teams that are training themselves hard and fighting a war of attrition. These guys are extremely stable and full of ammunition.

But in a sports battle with them, especially the fast pace and flexible movement, the cumbersome Blues will be overwhelmed.

After Arsenal suddenly increased their tempo, their penetration became faster.

The overall formation began to press forward, with Lucky and Kanter standing directly in the rib area to protect and provide support.

When the ball was passed, Lucky would look up at Chelsea's goal from time to time to scare the opponent's goalkeeper.

Kepa was obviously wary of Lucky's long-range shot, so he didn't dare to be careless at all.

It can be said that Chelsea's spirit at this time has been tense.

"Arsenal's offense began to shift towards the two wings, and Mane and Aubameyang were also constantly attacking from the wings. Arsenal's tactics have a particularly obvious change this season, that is, they began to use Attack the ribs!"

"Arsenal used to have a three-way attack, but now with the addition of two rib areas, it has become a five-way attack, with echoes from the front and back, and the overall position is extremely reasonable."

"Often when Mane and Aubameyang cut inside, the two full-backs will occupy their original wing positions and continue to open up enough width for Arsenal's offense!"

At this time, Chelsea goalkeeper Keita's body shook, and he was obviously taking a side step. However, he suddenly withdrew his strength and tilted his body. He stretched out his hand to support the ground and bounced up.

His whole body seemed to be convulsing, and his movements looked extremely awkward.

And all this was caused by Lucky's long shot from outside the penalty area.

"Kepa~~" Andy Gray couldn't help laughing; "How afraid he is of Kepa's long shot!"

Richard: "But Kepa's choice is correct. He can't guarantee whether Kepa will really shoot from long range. For any goalkeeper, they need to pay attention to Kai's long-range shooting ability."

Kepa also turned red.

At this time, Chelsea's penalty area was in chaos again, and Giroud had to divide the ball and reorganize.

When the ball came to Lucai's feet again, Lucai made another long-range shot against the ball.

This action caused Nozinho, who was rushing towards Lucky, to jump up and turn around, using his body to block.

Goalkeeper Kepa did not fall, but his body trembled obviously.

"How bad!"

Andy Gray couldn't help laughing, shook his head and sighed.

Under Lucky's frequent threats, the Chelsea players became even more aggrieved.

"Push it out!"

"We can't let them continue to oppress us!"

"Go up and kill them!"

Each Chelsea player moved forward angrily.

Facing the aggressive Chelsea players, Arsenal still maintained a steady passing rhythm while holding off for the time being.

Lucky retreated all the way to the top of the center circle. When the ball came to his feet again, he raised it forward, dodged Moses who came horizontally, and passed the ball to Kanter the moment it hit the ground.

"I just can't get it!"

The commentator Richard looked angry.

He is not talking about how well Arsenal's passing and possession play is, but that Chelsea's pressing seems fierce, but it is too reckless.

Arsenal focuses on defensive counterattacks, but that doesn't mean their players are all rough old men.

On the contrary, there are many players who represent skills among Arsenal players.

Wilshere, Aubameyang, Mane, Giroud, Lucky, Hummels, etc., which one of these can't hold the ball?

Their reckless and uncoordinated pressing was like a scene from a Spanish bullfight.

Chelsea is awesome!

Arsenal is the matador holding the red carpet bullfight!

Arsenal had all the advantages on the scene, and the only regret was that they didn't score.

But no one was in a hurry.

Arsenal fans believe that they can score goals, but they just lack an opportunity.

They believe that when this opportunity comes, Chelsea will be beaten by Arsenal!
