Chapter Forty-Eight

The Emirates Stadium is the top five major stadiums in the UK, second only to Wembley, Old Trafford, and the Millennium Stadium in Wales. It ranks fourth, better than other giants such as Anfield, Stamford Bridge, Manchester The city stadium and so on are much bigger, and bigger than the largest Scottish Hampton Park stadium.

In the Premier League, Arsenal is ranked second. Wembley is currently not used by clubs. It is mainly used for England national team matches. The Millennium Stadium is located in Wales. But from the entire United Kingdom, it is ranked fourth. This is not Not looking for four, after all, it still ranks second in the Premier League.

This London derby also made the Emirates Stadium full. The red and blue camps fought against each other. Of course, as the home court of Arsenal, red is definitely more than blue.

"The styles of the two teams in today's game may be the closest in the last ten years. Hiddink has injected Chelsea with an offensive and ball-handling style, and we all know that Wenger's Arsenal have always been like this."

Zhan Jun gave the game a preview before the game: "However, after the captain Van Persie left the team, Chelsea introduced Qi Ce. This kind of trade-off, I am afraid that today's game will be against Arsenal. It's so bad and bad!"

The game officially started.

The Red-Blue War in London is just as imagined by the outside world, with first-class rhythm and viewing.

The away team Chelsea took the lead. Although Hiddink did not require the players to enter a very high rhythm from the beginning like Klopp, Chelsea and Arsenal played a very technical confrontation.

Mainly in the midfield.

On the Arsenal side, three players headed by Cazorla will face Meyer, Ramirez and Mikel. In contrast, Arsenal’s midfield is more delicate and Arteta is very British. The Spanish midfielder has both hardness and skill, while Cazola has just arrived in the Premier League and has gradually started to get better after a few games.

On Chelsea's side, it is more rigid than technical. This is also Chelsea's traditional style. However, after Meyer and Oscar joined this year, Chelsea's midfielder has also gained some skills.

So compared to Arsenal, Chelsea's style is more radical.

Mikel is basically not involved in the offense, but Meyer and Ramirez get the ball, most of which are forward passes. The three Chelsea players in the frontcourt have a strong ability to hold the ball. Hazard can break through. Strategy can directly threaten the goal, and Mata can continue to organize.

Arsenal get the ball here, the rhythm is not slow, but they will stay in the midfield for more time, and they will try to bypass the Chelsea midfield.

The Chelsea midfield trio has a certain degree of defensive ability and hardness. Wenger asks the players not to go head-to-head with Chelsea's midfielder, but to develop through the pass to the side, not to take the middle.

Cazzola looks like a front midfielder, but he will be more active on the left side to form a connection with Porti. His current position is actually the very popular side midfielder style of the Premier League.

Almost every Premier League team will have this kind of equipment, because the traditional midfielder is difficult to find opportunities in the middle. Every Premier League team will be equipped with a hardline midfielder to actively target the opponent's front midfielder. In order to temporarily avoid the edge, many Premier League giants Will be equipped with a front midfielder playing sideways.

Interestingly, most Spaniards will be the prime candidates for this position.

Arsenal is Cazzola, in fact, Chelsea also have it. He is Mata. He can be competent on the wing and can serve as a midfielder. There is no advantage in playing wing speed, but the skill at the foot is superb and can often send a fatal pass on the wing.

This type of player is also Manchester City's David Silva, he is also regarded as the core player of Manchester City, even more important than Aguero.

The other two giants, Liverpool and Manchester United, do not. This is the relationship of play. The two teams pursue speed and direct play. Such players will slow down the rhythm.

After Arsenal bypassed Chelsea's midfielder, Cazzola took the ball to organize the attack on the wing. The long-distance connection from left to right is not uncommon. This kind of play is very interesting.

Little Tiger Walcott's speed is very fast, even Ashley Cole, facing Walcott's speed is a bit weak, so Arsenal mainly used this point, Cazzola took the ball and crossed the pass. , Look behind Ashley Cole.

This style of play is very cunning, but it requires a lot of players.

Because Arsenal’s attack is obviously severely left-leaning. Cazorla and Podolski are on this side, and only the tiger is on the right. From the scene, Arsenal usually only has him on the right side, and the left side. There are a lot of red figures passing lively.

Then Cazzola came to dominate the attack. Once he found an opportunity, Cazzola would immediately pass the ball to the right space, allowing Walcott and Ashley Cole to fight for speed.

This requires extremely high vision and passing skills for Cazzola, but the Spaniard also has such an ability.

Chelsea's offense is more balanced.

Both Hazard and Mata have the ability to hold the ball, and they always pass the ball in the middle, because they also know that as long as the ball reaches Qi Ce's feet, Qi Ce can always surprise them.

On the court, the situation changed quickly.

Both teams are not conservative. They even scored 4:4 shots in more than ten minutes. In terms of possession rate, Arsenal have the upper hand. Arsenal's offensive rhythm is not slow, but they will straighten out the conduct in the midfield. The ball develops forward, and Chelsea has more risky passes by force.

This has also led to a similar situation between Arsenal and Chelsea. In terms of strength on paper, Chelsea is stronger than Arsenal. This is an indisputable fact, but Arsenal’s offense is also threatening. It is Chelsea’s. The style is very radical.

There are more mistakes in the frontcourt and passing the ball!

In fact, it is Meyer.

Of course, this is what Hiddink asked him to do. In the previous game against Paris, Meyer performed very well, because Hiddink told him that he needed to focus on scheduling long passes in this game. In this game, he will In a relatively forward position, the shells were delivered directly behind Arsenal.

The goal is of course Qi Ce.

But in this game, Meyer seemed to be more average. He was really good at passing forwards or picking passes, but there were few high-frequency forwards like this, and his turnovers increased.

However, the biggest beneficiary of this style of play is actually Qi Ce!

Hiddink can see that Qi Ce's position is strange and coquettish, and Meyer seems to be on the same channel with Qi Ce at a certain point. If the ball he gives is passed to Qi Ce, he can always pass. To the feet.

On the field.

Arsenal just finished their fifth shot, the game time is 24 minutes, an average of two or three minutes there is one shot, the pace is fast, so fans are also very addicted to watching.

Cech steadily hugged the ball and ran out of the small penalty area, looking around. Not far away, Meyer was asking for the ball. He withdrew to a deeper position. He just ran back to help defend Cazola. , I haven't run up yet at this time.

Cech threw the ball to Meyer. It was Podolski who came up to push him. Meyer played in the German national team for the only time last year. Porti is also one of the few Arsenal players he knows. People are opponents.

Facing the football thrown by Cech, Meyer stopped with his chest, then leaned against the opponent with his body, and at the same time turned his head to look ahead quickly, and then glanced at it.

After just one look, Meyer noticed that a figure had begun to run about twenty or thirty meters away. He probably knew who it was, and probably knew the position of his teammates and opponents in front of him.

It's not easy to pass the ball!

Meyer thought this way, UU read www.uukanshu.com but his feet still moved.

Who said I can't pass it!

Meyer's pass selection was surprising. After Porti was fighting and there were countless safe points around to pass, Meyer chose to take a high ball and move forward!

This is the last round of the Stoke City demon stunned! To imitate their style of play!

There is no high center in front of Chelsea.

But soon, the fans realized that this pass is a long long pass, but it is also a pick pass. The destination is still behind, behind Arsenal!

The goal of the pass is Qi Ce!

Zitzer started to move when Meier got the ball, but he has been observing Vermaelen and Mertesacker at the back of the backline. He is not offside.

At the moment the ball came out, Qi Ce's position was almost parallel to the trailing Mertesacker, and while the ball was running, Qi Ce overtook it!
