Chapter 48 Who Says I Can't Pass It!

Chapter Forty-eight

The Emirates Stadium is the top five large-scale stadiums in the UK, second only to Wembley, Old Trafford, and the Millennium Stadium in Wales, ranking fourth, compared to other giants such as Anfield, Stamford Bridge, Manchester The city stadium is much bigger, and it is bigger than Hampden Park, the largest stadium in Scotland.

In the Premier League, Arsenal is ranked second. Wembley is currently not used by clubs and is mainly used for England national team games. The Millennium Stadium is located in Wales, but it is ranked fourth from the entire UK. This is not There is no four to find four, after all, it still ranks second in the Premier League.

This London derby also filled the Emirates Stadium, with the red and blue camps competing against each other. Of course, as Arsenal's home court, the red must surpass the blue.

"Today's game was probably the closest the two teams have played in the last ten years. Guus Hiddink injected Chelsea with an attacking and possession style, and we all know that Wenger's Arsenal has always been like that."

Zhan Jun gave a preview of the game before the game: "However, after the captain Robin van Persie left the team, Chelsea introduced Qi Ce again. This kind of situation of ebb and flow, I am afraid that today's game will be very difficult for Arsenal. It is said that there is more bad luck than good luck!"

The game officially begins.

The red and blue battle in London was as imagined by the outside world, with top-notch rhythm and viewing.

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

Mainly in midfield.

For Arsenal, the three players headed by Cazorla faced Meyer, Ramirez and Mikel. In contrast, Arsenal's midfield is more delicate, and Arteta is very British. The Spanish midfielder has both toughness and technique, while Cazorla has just arrived in the Premier League. After a few games to adapt, he has gradually begun to get better.

On Chelsea's side, there is more hardness than technicality. This is also Chelsea's traditional style. However, after the joining of Meyer and Oscar this year, Chelsea's midfield has also gained some skills.

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

Mikel basically does not participate in the offense, but Meyer and Ramirez get the ball, most of them pass forward. The three players in Chelsea's frontcourt all have a strong ability to hold the ball. Hazard can break through, and Qi Strategies can directly threaten the goal, while Mata can continue to organize.

Arsenal got the ball here, and the pace is not slow, but they will spend more time in the midfield, and they will try to bypass Chelsea's midfield as much as possible.

Chelsea's midfield trio all have a certain defensive ability and toughness,

Wenger asked the players not to go head-to-head with Chelsea's midfielder, but to develop on the wing through passing and receiving instead of going in the middle.

Cazorla looks like an attacking midfielder, but he will play more on the left side to form a connection with Polti. His current position is actually a very popular side attacking midfielder in the Premier League.

Almost every strong team in the Premier League will have this kind of equipment, because it is difficult for the traditional midfielder to find opportunities in the middle. Every Premier League team will be equipped with a tough midfielder to actively target the opponent's midfielder. They will all be equipped with a front midfielder who plays from the side.

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

Arsenal is Cazorla, but Chelsea also has it. He is Mata, who is capable of playing on the wing as well as the attacking midfielder. He has no advantage in speed when playing on the wing, but he has superb skills at his feet and can often send a deadly pass on the wing.

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

The other two giants, Liverpool and Manchester United, did not. This is related to the style of play. These two teams pursue speed and direct style of play.

After Arsenal bypassed Chelsea's midfield, Cazorla took the ball to organize the attack on the wing. Long-distance connections from left to right are also common. This style of play is very enjoyable.

The little tiger Walcott's speed is very fast, even Ashley Cole, facing Walcott's speed is a bit powerless, so Arsenal mainly take advantage of this point, after Cazorla takes the ball, he passes diagonally through. , looking behind Ashley Cole.

This style of play is tricky but demands a lot from the players.

Because Arsenal's offense is obviously heavily left-leaning, Cazorla and Podolski are on this side, and only the little tiger goes down on the right. From the scene, Arsenal usually has only him on the right side, and the left side. There are quite a few red figures buzzing around.

Then Cazorla will lead the offense. Once an opportunity is found, Cazorla will immediately pass the ball to the open space on the right, allowing Walcott and Ashley Cole to compete for speed.

This requires extremely high vision and passing skills for Cazorla, but the Spaniard also has such abilities.

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 the feet of Chitze, Chitze can always surprise them.

On the court, the situation changed rapidly.

The two teams are not conservative, and even shot 4:4 in more than ten minutes. In terms of ball possession, Arsenal has the upper hand. Arsenal's offensive rhythm is not slow, but they will straighten out the midfield. The ball develops forward, and on Chelsea's side, there are more forced passes and risky balls.

This also led to a situation where Arsenal and Chelsea were on par. On paper, Chelsea is stronger than Arsenal. This is an indisputable fact, but Arsenal's offense is also threatening, that is, Chelsea's The style is very aggressive.

Attacking in the frontcourt, there are more passing mistakes!

It's actually Meyer.

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

The goal, of course, is Qi Ce.

But in this game, Meyer's performance seems to be relatively average. He is really good at forward throughs or pick passes, but there are very few forwards with such a high frequency, and the turnovers have increased instead.

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

Hiddink can see that Zize's running position is weird, and Meyer seems to be on the same channel with Zize at a certain point. If the ball he gives is passed to Zize, it can always be passed. to the feet.

field.

Arsenal had just completed their fifth shot. The game time was 24 minutes. On average, there was one shot every two or three minutes. The pace was fast and the fans were hooked.

Cech held the ball steadily, ran out of the small penalty area, and looked around. Not far away, Meyer was asking for the ball. He retreated to a relatively deep position. He just came back to help defend Cazorla. , this time has not run up.

Cech threw the ball to Meyer, and it was Podolski who came up to press him. Meyer entered the German national team for the only time last year, and Poulti was also one of the few Arsenal players he knew. People are opponents.

Facing the football thrown by Petr 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 just glanced at it.

With just one glance, Meier noticed that a figure had started to run about twenty or thirty meters away. He probably knew who it was, and probably knew the positions of his teammates and opponents in front of him.

It's not easy to pass the ball!

Meier thought so in his heart, but his feet still moved.

Who said I couldn't pass it on!

Meyer's choice of pass is surprising. When he was scrambling behind Polti and there were countless safe receiving points around him to pass, Meyer chose to lob the ball and go forward!

Is this the bewilderment after beating Stoke City in the last round? To imitate their style of play!

There are no high center forwards in front of Chelsea.

But soon, the fans also realized that this pass was a big long pass from a long distance, but it was actually a pick pass, and the destination was behind Arsenal, behind Arsenal!

The target of the pass is Qi Ce!

Zitzer started running when Meyer had the ball, but he kept watching Vermaelen and Mertesacker at the back of the defence, and he was not offside.

At the moment when the ball was passed, Zize's position was almost parallel to Mertesacker who was lagging behind, and while the ball was running, Zize passed!
