Strong Waist

Modern football tactics emphasize multiple outlets. Not only can the midfield pass and assist, but even the defenders and goalkeepers need this skill.

Multi-function and multi-position have become the standard mode of modern football. It is not uncommon to have a unique skill, but it is difficult to play a role in tactical positioning.

For example, Inzaghi was very successful as a penalty area killer and a keen opportunist.

But in modern football, the center position not only needs to score goals, but also needs to take on part of the frontcourt organization and even the versatility of ball distribution.

Compared with the previous tactical system, it pays more attention to the overall and tactical integration.

For this reason, having one more skill is very important for modern football.

Just like this time, Martinez's long pass directly created Arsenal's chance to score.

This coincides with Guardiola's saying "the attack starts from the goalkeeper". Although Mourinho has never shouted the classic words "the attack starts from the ball boy" at this stage, it also shows the importance of the outlet.

"Since Arsenal scored, their playing rhythm has become faster, and Chelsea has a little difficulty keeping up with the rhythm in this situation!"

Martinez's pass did break the situation on the field, and Chelsea's playing rhythm was also completely destroyed.

Now Chelsea players want to equalize the score, but it is not easy.

Not only the two big gates of Arsenal's midfield, but also Hummels and Jimenez in the back line are enough for them to drink a pot.

Hazard keeps breaking through on the wing, trying to use his personal ability to open up the situation.

Kante's defense against Hazard is very tight, but he can't completely restrict him.

Today's Chelsea relies heavily on Hazard's ability to help the team open up the situation.

But in this game, Hazard faced Arsenal's strong back waist line and it was a little difficult to show his performance.

As for William on the other wing, he was restricted to the wing by Lukay and could not move.

This is the first time William has played such a difficult game.

William, who joined Chelsea in 2013, finally got Conte's promotion this season and began to get the opportunity to play or even start.

William's previous performance was also remarkable, but in this game, William felt a huge pressure.

The feeling of being suppressed in all directions made him feel very depressed.

He knew that Lucky was very strong, and he had imagined how to fight against Lucky, but it turned out that these things had no effect.

After a period of competition, William now feels extremely nervous whenever Lucky stands in front of him.

Although it has not reached the level of deformation, it is not far away.

"Here!"

William took the initiative to raise his hand to ask for the ball.

Fabregas passed the ball to the opponent and came to the gap to ask for a return pass.

William's one-touch ball should not be a big problem.

But William stopped to observe.

This small detail made Lucky block his passing line directly.

When William wanted to pass the ball, Lucky had already come over and snatched the ball away in a few seconds.

William sat on the ground, and he looked at Lucky's back with a blank face.

"Pass the ball at the first opportunity! Don't hesitate, don't stop the ball, you are giving Arsenal a chance to steal the ball!"

Fabregas roared angrily, and then turned back to chase.

In the past many encounters, he knew very well how good this Arsenal team was at this kind of pressing task.

What's more, it was Lucky who took the initiative to press.

Even Fabregas in his prime did not dare to say that he could pass Lucky 100%.

Therefore, passing the ball in Arsenal's half must be faster.

Once the opponent grabs the ball.

Bang! !

Chelsea goalkeeper Courtois dragged the ball out of the baseline, and after getting up from the ground, he roared: "Come on, what are you doing, don't give Arsenal an easy chance to shoot, stop them!"

From Courtois's excited roar, you can hear how anxious the opponent is.

One or two times is fine, but Arsenal's many shots almost broke Chelsea's goal, which Courtois cannot tolerate.

The current Chelsea players give him a feeling of being in a daze.

On the sidelines, Conte was also anxious.

The situation on the field was developing in a direction that was unfavorable to them, and they could not find a good solution for a while.

Conte was anxious, and Chelsea was also anxious.

On the other hand, Mourinho was calm in the Arsenal coaching booth.

He sat on a chair, crossed his legs, drank water leisurely, and had a comfortable expression.

He applauded from time to time to encourage the players to play well.

Before Mourinho played Chelsea, he made some targeted arrangements.

Mourinho, who once served as Chelsea's head coach, knew the ability of the players in this team very well.

Even from a certain perspective, he knew better than Conte.

And now Chelsea's lineup is still the lineup when he coached, with almost no major changes.

It's not too difficult to target it.

Of course, the source of all targeting is still the advantage of the midfield.

He who controls the midfield controls the world!

Mastering the rhythm of the midfield is like controlling the center, and you can play it however you want.

Tactical arrangements will also become extremely easy.

Mourinho wanted to do this before, but Chelsea and Manchester United's midfielders were not strong enough to accept the heavy responsibility.

After coaching Arsenal, his ideas finally had room to develop.

Lucky's strength in the midfield benefits the entire Arsenal team.

Mourinho raised the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled at Arteta beside him: "Do you think Kai can score in this game?"

Arteta said; "If we were behind, I think it would be, but now that we are ahead, Kai will be more inclined to pass the ball."

"Are you sure?" Mourinho smiled slightly and said, "Just wait and see!"

In the field, Arsenal's offensive became more and more fierce.

Kill you while you are sick.

The professional arena is not a wild field. It gives you time to catch your breath. If you have any problems, just use this point to fight to death.

This is how Arsenal play.

The two wingers kept raising the ball, allowing Lukaku to fight for the top.

What they are targeting is David Luiz's instability on the defensive end.

Compared with his defensive ability, David Luiz is a player with better foot skills, passing ability and free kick ability.

In fact, on the defensive end, he is not considered a first-class central defender.

To this end, Cahill became the mainstay of Chelsea's defense under pressure from Arsenal.

Jump after jump and collision after collision were constantly consuming Cahill's physical energy.

Morale is extremely low and physical fitness is declining, which makes Cahill's feet become heavier and heavier.

On the other hand, Lukaku is in hot form.

"One more! The next one must come in!"

"Come again! I guarantee to score!"

"Next!"

Looking at the lively Lukaku, Cahill's heart was full of bitterness.

He couldn't stand it anymore!

The good news is that it's almost halftime.

But the bad news is that Arsenal were awarded a corner kick.

"Watch the position! David, retreat and watch the placement in the middle!"

"The front point! There must be someone at the back point!"

"Pullback! Pullback!"

Cahill loudly mobilized the players, just keep this corner kick.

Cahill's eyes are fixed on Lukaku, and he will completely restrict Lukaku.

Robertson stood at the corner kick and raised his hand.

Cahill noticed that Lukaku's body was beginning to move, and he immediately stepped forward to prevent the opponent from competing for a favorable header point.

Lukaku naturally would not compromise and pushed forward desperately. When the two were wrestling, Robertson took a corner kick.

The ball arced through the air and flew to the penalty area.

Lukaku took off first, and Cahill quickly followed.

The two fought in the air, but neither could hit the ball.

Cahill was delighted.

But the next second, there was fierce footsteps and a bouncing sound next to my ears.

When Cahill hit the ground, he saw the ball had appeared in the goal.

"Why did you miss something?"

Cahill turned around angrily.

He saw David Luiz emerge at the back post.

The latter quickly said: "I'm staring at Aubameyang, he is running towards the back, and it is Kai who heads the ball."

Cahill didn't see it just now, but David Luiz saw it clearly.

Lucky's jumping height is nowhere to be seen, it's almost like flying.

The body lifted up very quickly, as if it had reached the hitting point in an instant, which was simply abnormal.

Even if he is there, he can't guard against it!
