Chapter 70 Why Can't It Be Me?
"Di Maria is in!!!"
Accompanied by the exclamation of Chelsea's home commentator, Wenger and others in the Arsenal coaching booth also half-raised their buttocks and looked at the penalty area nervously.
This change disrupted Chelsea's defensive rhythm this time.
Azpilicueta could not catch up with the defense, and Chelsea was forced to have only three people to defend.
But at this time, Sanchez, Suarez and Di Maria were all in the penalty area.
"Oh my god!"
Terry yelled and rushed over immediately. He wanted to press forward and stop Di Maria.
But Di Maria had already completed the pass before Terry approached.
A diagonal pass from behind.
Terry was shocked when he saw this pass.
It's over!
He saw Cazorla also rushed into the penalty area and was ready to shoot.
Bang! !
The sole of his foot hit the ball firmly and rushed towards Chelsea's goal at a high speed.
Chelsea goalkeeper Cech made a save, but the ball was very fast, and the next second it was gone! !
"Goal?!"
Andy Gray looked over with wide eyes. Because the ball hit the side net, he couldn't see clearly whether it was a goal from this angle.
But soon, he saw Cazorla holding his head and kneeling on the ground.
The camera also gave a close-up of the goal. After hitting the net, the ball bounced from the side.
The ball did not enter the goal, but hit the side net.
"Ah~~~~~~~~"
Andy Gray sat down with a look of regret, sighing: "It was a wonderful attack. Arsenal made full use of Chelsea's psychological loopholes and let Kai complete this long pass, but unfortunately Cazorla did not seize this opportunity."
Cazorla squatted on the ground and shook his head.
The Chelsea players were scared out of their wits.
Arsenal's attack gave them a blow, and also told them that Arsenal still had the ability to score goals.
The most important thing is that Arsenal began to show their diverse offensive methods.
Before this, Arsenal had been using short passes and breakthrough tactics to continuously attack Chelsea's penalty area from three angles.
Chelsea naturally focused on Sanchez, Suarez and Di Maria.
But at this time, Arsenal suddenly changed the rhythm and used Lucky's long pass to create opportunities.
This kind of long pass is a spiritual pass that cannot be kicked out by the production line midfielder. It not only requires precise footwork, but also requires control of timing.
Lucky grasped these two key links, but unfortunately Cazorla failed to score a goal.
"Oh~~~sxxt!!"
Arsenal fans held their heads, they all thought they had scored a goal and were ready to cheer, but they didn't expect this to be the ending.
This shot was just a little bit away from scoring, just a little bit away.
What a pity!
"Oh~~Henry! You really got it right!!"
Princess Megan jumped up excitedly and turned to look at Prince Harry.
The latter was also excited.
Compared with the regretful look of other fans, Prince Harry was in high spirits.
He knew that football games were like this, don't always think about finishing in one fell swoop. Arsenal's attack showed that they had the ability to score goals, which was enough.
There was still time in the second half.
Arsenal still had a chance!
This attack was the last attack in the first half.
Both sides stopped after this attack and prepared to enter the halftime break.
Soon, the whistle sounded, and both sides walked towards the player tunnel after the first half of the game.
In Arsenal's locker room, the players found Wenger waiting there after entering the locker room.
He said to everyone; "Don't talk, go back and sit down!"
"Everyone! Shut up!"
One by one, the Arsenal players walked into the locker room in silence, and they all followed the coach's arrangements.
After everyone was present, Wenger looked around and said, "I'm not going to criticize you. It's a good thing that you have the desire to attack, but you can't give up defense for it!"
"The previous goal is a microcosm of the problems we have had since the beginning of this season. I'm glad it was exposed. Obviously, you have learned enough lessons."
Everyone laughed and looked at Lucky subconsciously.
Lucky turned his head and looked back at them.
Wenger glanced at Lucky and said, "Kai! You can talk now."
Lucky stood up and said, "Guys, I was very angry before, but it was not directed at any of you. I am very grateful for your trust in me. You can participate in the attack with confidence, but you must also be clear that I only have two legs. I run slower than the ball. Once the opponent completes the transfer in the attack, I can't catch up!"
"So, I need your help. Your retreat is necessary!"
Hearing this, everyone lowered their heads in shame.
Lucky has always played well on the defensive end, so they over-trusted him, or over-reliant on him.
This also led to this problem.
Wenger also added: "In this game, Kai is the only defensive midfielder, and he is under a lot of pressure. I gave him important tasks, but it does not mean that he needs to bear all the tasks. We must be clear that we are a team, whether it is offense or defense, we need to play more as a whole!"
"In the second half, I will not make substitutions. I want to see you play more holistically and more actively. I can trust you, right?"
The Arsenal players immediately raised their heads and said:
"You can trust us!"
"We guarantee that this problem will never happen again!"
"Don't worry, Professor!"
"We will equalize the score!"
Morale slowly improved, and Wenger nodded slightly, ordering the players to rest and prepare for the second half.
On the other side, in the Chelsea locker room, Mourinho praised the players' performance.
"We performed very well in the first half, especially our midfield. You resisted the pressure from Arsenal, which caused their deployment in the midfield to be ineffective."
Listening to Mourinho's words, Fabregas and others showed satisfied smiles, but Mourinho's voice changed:
"But the second half is the key. We need to be clear that this Arsenal team is very resilient. They have proved this several times last season. Therefore, we cannot give them chances, mistakes, mistakes, or even give them any chance." Chance!"
"Guys, we will win this game at Stamford Bridge and regain our lost glory this season!"
"Premier League! FA Cup! Champions League!" Mourinho said in a fervent tone, clenching his fists: "We all want it!"
And the Chelsea players also showed their enthusiasm.
There is no player who does not like championships.
Mourinho may be bewitching or trying to make a big deal out of him!
But he did give Chelsea players hope, and that was enough.
"In the first half, Arsenal had more possession, but it was Chelsea who scored and took the lead."
Andy Gray said; "Wenger's arrangement in the midfield failed to achieve results. He was right in wanting to take advantage of the midfield, but they were not particularly proactive, which also gave Chelsea a chance to breathe."
"I forgot where I read the article. When Mourinho's team faces a high press, their defense will increase the chance of making mistakes. I prefer Arsenal to change back to their previous playing style. Not too focused on midfield control.”
Meanwhile, at the door of Arsenal's dressing room.
Wenger and Lucky stand together.
"Professor, we have to play more proactively, and we have to force their defense to make mistakes!"
Lucky said towards Wenger.
Wenger looked at Lucky and said, "Do you think Terry will make a mistake?"
"Everyone makes mistakes!" Lucky said decisively; "I admit that Chelsea's defense has enough experience and amazing stability, but what if we continue to attack them uninterrupted?"
"Terry is 34! Ivanovic is 30! Cahill is 29!"
"We are younger than them, and we can run better than them. As long as we keep putting pressure on them, they will make mistakes!"
Wenger was silent for a moment and said: "But you are a single defensive midfielder. Excessive pressing and attacking in the frontcourt will increase your defensive pressure."
"I can't care about this anymore!" Lucky waved his hands; "Sir! If you want to win the game, you have to make sacrifices."
Wenger looked at Lucai and said, "Sacrifice you?"
Lucky; "Why can't it be me?"
