Chapter 79 Chelsea Is Playing with Fire

"At the very beginning of the game, I pressed forward and grabbed it!"

Lucky said to his teammates before the game started.

Facing the position of three central defenders, the most effective way is to press high.

Put the pressure on the opponent's half. Once the opponent makes any kind of mistake, it will be a good opportunity for Arsenal to counterattack.

Of course, the so-called high-position pressing is not just a random grab, it requires cooperation and timely follow-up.

Pressing the opponent's ball carrier while following up to limit the ball's release point is the core concept of high-position pressing.

The cheers at the scene began to gradually become enthusiastic.

Amid waves of cheers and cheers, Costa walked to the center circle.

Chelsea took the lead in the first half.

Arsenal's players are focused and they will press Chelsea from the moment they kick off.

Beep!

The whistle sounded and Chelsea kicked the ball back.

At the same time, Arsenal players sprinted forward like tigers and wolves.

Lukaku rushed in a hurry, rushing directly to the landing point of the ball at a speed of 100 meters, scaring Cesc Fabregas to pass back.

But Lukaku still had no intention of relaxing and rushed straight towards David Luiz.

As soon as David Luiz stopped the ball, he saw Lukaku rushing towards him.

He calmly looked to both sides and found that Arsenal's players had blocked two support points, and the passing channel in front was blocked by Lucai and others.

Moreover, Lukaku rushed very hard, and now David Luiz was a little panicked.

He directly swung his big foot and kicked the ball forward.

Hummels pressed in, jumped and tipped the ball to Lucky who dropped back to receive the ball.

Azar also rushed towards Lucky.

But before catching the ball, Lucky's body tilted to the left, blocking the direct contact space between Hazard and the ball. At the same time, his body's center of gravity moved back and pushed Hazard.

From a visual point of view, it seems that Hazard hit Lucky, but in fact it was Lucky who pushed the opponent.

Hazard failed to grab the ball and was hit with some chest tightness.

At this time, Lucky had already controlled the ball and passed it forward.

Wilshere passed the ball to Aubameyang, who quickly made a cross.

Lukaku failed to fight for the top, and the ball was picked off by fellow Belgian international Courtois.

Chelsea had a bad start and were counterattacked by Arsenal.

As soon as the game started, Arsenal put pressure on Chelsea.

"Chelsea's condition was a bit off after the game started!"

Paul Mawson was surprised.

In previous games, Chelsea's calm playing style disappeared, and instead became extremely panicked.

"It's a matter of pressure." Dixon said: "Chelsea's 12 consecutive victories were largely won by non-strong teams. Even in the game against Tottenham, Harry Kane, Eriksen Suffering from injuries, so when many people praise Chelsea’s strength, I don’t think so!”

"Just like this game, after Arsenal put the pressure on, Chelsea was completely in chaos!"

"Conte's three-centre-back style is a bit too arrogant. He faced Arsenal with three centre-backs, and David Silva was still behind."

Dixon didn't say the next words.

But his doubts about Conte's tactics can clearly be felt.

The fact is that after the first time, there will be a second time.

Chelsea drove the ball wide and Arsenal pressed again.

Under the crazy running, Chelsea barely passed the ball, but as Arsenal's running became more and more active, their passing space was compressed, the overall formation continued to fall back, and even the two full-backs had already reached the bottom line. both sides.

"Chelsea is playing with fire!

Isn't this a big deal? "

Zhan Jundu is anxious about playing Chelsea, so don’t shout.

But Chelsea seemed to be possessed, thinking that they were Barcelona, ​​and had no intention of making any big moves.

Azpilicueta even passed the ball to David Luiz in the center.

When the formation is suppressed deep, passing the ball to the central defender is a taboo.

But it also shows how much pressure Arsenal put on Azpilicueta.

David Luiz immediately panicked.

As soon as the pass stopped, Lukaku got close to him and started pushing and pressing him.

Under pressure from Lukaku, David Luiz soon lost his nerve.

Lukaku poked the ball out, and when he was about to chase the ball, David Luiz made an obvious push.

Lukaku also fell forward.

"Hey!

!

——”

"foul!

!

! ——”

The Arsenal players immediately raised their hands.

Chelsea players were also panicked.

Both sides surrounded the referee.

This was less than five minutes into the game. At this time, a penalty kick was awarded. This was something Chelsea could not accept.

The referee blew the crowd away with his whistle and immediately pointed to the penalty spot.

Arsenal gets a penalty!

"Penalty kick!

Chelsea paid a sufficient price for their actions! With a penalty kick less than 5 minutes into the game, they were setting themselves on fire!

"

Zhan Jun said loudly.

Zhang Lu on the side also shook his head; "Chelsea's football is so bad!"

Wilshere threw the ball to Lucky. As the team's first penalty kicker, Lucky was supposed to take the penalty kick, but

"You come!"

Lucky threw the ball to Lukaku.

The latter happily held the ball and ran to the penalty spot.

"Really let him take the penalty? Can he score?"

Wilshere was full of distrust for Lukaku, mainly because this guy was really unstable in taking penalties.

Lekai shook his head and said, "Not letting him take the penalty will affect his condition, and didn't you see his eyes?"

Lekai couldn't stand the pitiful look in Lukaku's eyes just now.

"Get ready to follow up!"

Everyone made a sprinting posture at the penalty area line. Once Lukaku's penalty failed and the goalkeeper lost his hand, they would rush up the mountain to make up the shot as soon as possible.

Of course, Chelsea players would not let them do as they wished.

"Lukaku will take this penalty! Let's see if Lukaku can bring the first goal for Arsenal!"

Under the gaze of everyone, Lukaku slowly ran up.

Immediately, he kicked the ball hard with a kick.

Miracles come from great strength.

The ball flew to the upper right corner, but Chelsea goalkeeper Courtois judged the reverse direction correctly.

Moreover, this kind of half-high ball is the goalkeeper's favorite.

With a bang, Courtois tried hard to hold the ball in his hand, but under the huge force, it still slipped out of his hand.

At this moment, the players on both sides rushed to the landing point of the ball.

Among them, Lekai was the fastest.

Because of his position, he just formed a straight line with the landing point, plus he started quickly, so he ran in the front.

Facing the falling ball; Lekai barely adjusted and cushioned his arch.

At this time, Courtois hadn't climbed up yet, he could only watch the ball fly over his head and land at the back of the goal.

Five minutes into the first half, Lukaku's penalty kick failed, and Lekai made a supplementary shot to score!

"Goal!

Lekai!

It depends on Lekai!

!"

Zhan Jun exclaimed loudly.

"After the hat trick in the last game, Lukaku scored another goal. His total goals this season have reached 19, equal to Tottenham striker Harry Kane, and he is only two goals away from Lukaku, who is the top scorer!"

"Only two goals are needed for Lukaku to become the top scorer and assists!"

Zhang Lu on the side said with a smile; "Lukaku, you can't seize the opportunity! Lukaku gave up the penalty, but he didn't score. What luck!"

"Of course, Chelsea must be the most uncomfortable."

"Lose the ball in 5 minutes! This is absolutely a disaster. They are playing at home. Losing the ball in 5 minutes at home is too embarrassing."

The Chelsea fans at the scene were stunned.

They played well before, why did they seem to wilt after meeting Arsenal?

And why did they play with three central defenders?

Aren't Arsenal's one-on-one accurate?

At this time, in addition to the regret of losing the ball, the Chelsea fans were full of anger.

They felt that there was definitely something wrong with Chelsea's tactics.

In other words, after 12 consecutive wins, these guys are really getting carried away.

The three-center-back formation, isn't that just letting Arsenal charge to the death?

It's only been five minutes!

They lost the ball in five minutes, what should they do in the next game?

As long as Arsenal continues to use that kind of pressing tactics, they have no way out.
