Football: The Hand that Covers the Sky - Chapter 417

“The hand of football covers the sky (

After winning Maccabi Tel Aviv, Arsenal immediately began to prepare for the game against Chelsea. For Arsenal, the London Derby is far more important than a normal league.

And Chelsea has been in a very bad state recently. As a deadly enemy, Arsenal will naturally take the opportunity to step on, but Wenger also knows that it is not easy to step on Chelsea and Mourinho.

Chelsea are now desperately in need of a victory to boost their morale, and as far as the current situation is concerned, what could be better than defeating their arch rivals Arsenal?

So Chelsea must be desperate. This is also directly reflected in the Champions League game. In the midweek game, Chelsea played fully off the bench and lost to Dinamo Zagreb 1:2.

Chelsea’s determination can be seen from the loss of this game, but there is another possibility. Although Dinamo Zagreb is good, normal Chelsea will not necessarily lose even if they are fully substituted.

The state of Chelsea this season is indeed a big problem. Compared with last season, Chelsea’s lineup has actually not changed. Cech is the biggest player in Chelsea, but Cech last season was just a substitute.

However, Cech’s condition in Liverpool is really good, but the other players in Liverpool are in poor condition. After losing to Arsenal in the third round, it seems to have dealt a big blow to Liverpool.

In the blink of an eye, on the day of the game, the Stamford Bridge stadium was already full of seats. This is a stadium that can only accommodate more than 40,000 people. In fact, Chelsea cannot be satisfied.

However, recently there have been rumors that Chelsea is preparing to rebuild the stadium and demolish the current stadium for expansion. There are even rumors that Chelsea has invited designers who designed the capital’s Bird’s Nest.

So the old Stamford Bridge stadium has entered the countdown, perhaps next season Chelsea may not play in this stadium.

Derby does not need any tactics, and Arsenal have been very strong this season, so Wenger’s tactics in this game is offense. Besides, Chelsea’s state is indeed not good, but Arsenal’s state is very hot.

“Although Chelsea is not in good shape, Chelsea will definitely be desperate in this derby, and derby is also the best opportunity to jump to the team status.” In the subconscious mind of all players, derby is the most important, so players will not be distracted. Will subconsciously try my best.

When a person is fully focused on one thing, the whole person’s mentality and state will naturally change.

Mourinho needs a Derby to stimulate the Chelsea players’ form, while Arsenal needs to take the players further in the Derby.

But the referee’s whistle sounded, and the game immediately turned into a fierce attack. Less than a minute after the opening, Chelsea attacked the front of Arsenal’s penalty area, and then a foul occurred.

Coquelin uprooted Diego Costa, and the two men looked at each other fiercely. Fortunately, the referee was next to them. Because of the relationship at the beginning of the game, the referee McDean only warned the two that they did not draw a card.

Fabregas took this free kick. As always, the Arsenal fans started booing crazy as soon as Fabregas took the ball. It’s a pity that this is Stamford Bridge. The boos of Arsenal fans are directly overwhelmed by Chelsea. The cheers of the fans.

However, the voice of Chelsea fans obviously cannot affect Li Shou on the field. Although Fabregas played a good free kick, it is almost impossible to break Li Shou’s goal.

Arsenal immediately launched a counterattack. Cazorla made a long pass to Giroud, defending Giroud was his French compatriot genius central defender Zuma. In front of the spicy Giroud, Zuma could only watch the ball being topped to Sanchez.

The latter broke through the side with the ball and made a pass from the bottom. Griezmann rushed into the penalty area and flew to the top to complete the goal, but the ball was not set within the range of the goal frame. Griezmann pushed the ball out under the entanglement of Cahill. Bottom line.

In the ninth minute, Arsenal once again scored into the front of Chelsea’s penalty area, but before Cazorla took a long shot, Cahill was cut off. The Chelsea centre-back made a wonderful tackle and directly blocked Cazorla. Shot.

The Chelsea players are indeed not in ideal form. Arsenal scored again into the Chelsea hinterland three minutes later. This time it was Ramsey. The latter took a pass and sent the ball into the penalty area. Giroud once again beat Zuma, but Giroud’s header The attack was directly confiscated by Begovic.

In the fifteenth minute, Chelsea completed the second kick of the game. Diego Costa and Hazard made a wall collision and then entered the penalty area. Then the kick was saved by Li Shou.

Li Shou immediately completed the clearance, and the next five minutes became Sanchez’s personal performance time. Although Sanchez did not make a shot in the end, Sanchez smashed from left to right in these five minutes, completely disrupting Chelsea’s defense and forcing Chelsea to use it. The foul ends its performance.

McDean finally took out the first yellow card of the game, a flying shovel from Fabregas. Although Fabregas did not say anything, he must have taken a sigh of relief when facing Arsenal~ www.mtlnovel.com~ Fabregas’s flying shovel not only applied for a yellow card, but also made Arsenal fans hate him even more. Just five minutes after Fabregas’s foul, the former Arsenal core appeared once. With a mistake, Fabregas, who took the ball in the backcourt, passed the ball to Cazorla.

If it hadn’t been for Fabregas to participate in the London Derby once, Chelsea people could not help but wonder whether Fabregas was an undercover agent. Unfortunately, Arsenal could not seize this opportunity, or Chelsea’s defense responded quickly and immediately created one. When Giroud was caught offside, it was too late to react.

In the thirty-third minute, Arsenal also got the first yellow card of the game. Chelsea played a wave of counterattacks. In order to block Chelsea’s counterattack, Cazorla shoveled Pedro. The referee immediately slapped Cazorla. A yellow card is issued.

Then Oscar sent the ball into the penalty area and was cleared by Koscielny, but the ball fell at the feet of Zuma, who shot a long shot nearly forty meters from the goal.

Obviously, such a long shot cannot really threaten Arsenal’s goal. Li Shou’s terrible focus is one of the main reasons why Arsenal has not lost the ball so far. Zuma’s surprise kick may be useful to other goalkeepers, but it certainly does not include Li Shou. .

In the 40th minute, Chelsea once again threatened Arsenal with a long shot. Pedro, who was transferred from Barcelona this summer, shot a long shot about 25 meters from the goal.

With a diagonal pass from Fabregas, the ball failed to hit the goal frame, but it forced Li Shou to make a save. The ball eventually wiped the goal post and hit the side net.

Then Arsenal also took a long shot, from Sanchez’s long shot outside the penalty area, Cazorla cooperated with it, Sanchez moved in the middle and shot slightly higher under the cover of Giroud and Griezmann.
