386 The Blues' Curse

Over the weekend, the last game of the 33rd round of the Premier League started at Stamford Bridge!

Arsenal came to Stamford Bridge again, Chelsea is ready-

Qin Xiong and Xiweiya appeared together at the VIP seat at Stamford Bridge.

Borgkamp replaced Qin Xiong's appearance today, and Campbell, who had just recovered from a minor injury, returned to the lineup.

Wenger and Mourinho appeared on the sidelines of the court, and Chelsea fans in the stands were more enthusiastic than the Champions League match a few days ago.

"Now the outside world is optimistic that Chelsea will reverse Arsenal in the final stage of the league to win their first Premier League championship. After all, Arsenal's defeat in the Champions League is too big. In addition, Chelsea still has a certain advantage in terms of overall team consumption in recent times, and they also have home advantage!"

Mourinho is now full of confidence and he firmly believes that Chelsea will reverse Arsenal!

Wenger stood on the sidelines with his arms wrapped around his chest, looking calm.

No one in the outside world knows that after Wenger returns home every night after he gets out of the Champions League, he repeatedly studies the video of Arsenal and Chelsea’s two-legged game. He tries to find out the fundamental reason why Arsenal, who has looked the strongest since he coached, ended up losing to Chelsea.

The reasons must be complex and diverse, including physical fitness, status, lineup, right time, place, people, etc.

But Wenger still insists that Chelsea's success is not accidental, and Arsenal's offensive aspect has almost reached its own limit.

This kind of limit is not ideal, just like if Wenger pursues the most extreme beautiful football, he can give him a young Figo, Buffon, and Nesta to pursue it. He should always start from his own reality. Arsenal has so many resources. He almost reached the limit on the basis of balance between Arsenal's offense and defense.

If you can't gain the advantage in this way and defeat Chelsea, what should you do next season? Wouldn't it be lingering again when you meet Chelsea again?

So he still needs to improve and think about how the team will develop in the next stage.

Outsiders cannot see the vicissitudes of vicissitudes on his face that is beginning to aging, and his hair has become whiter. It cannot be said that he is worried about Arsenal. It is his job itself. He just wants to better complete the work he has to do.

The competition has begun.

After 15 minutes of the game passed calmly, Chelsea players frequently looked at Mourinho. Their faces seemed to be confused and asked the same question: What to do?

Mourinho, who had his hands in his pockets, was very angry: Arcena Wenger! What are you doing?!

Arsenal did not send Fabregas to today, but used Flamini.

Flamini Vieira Silva.

Is the defense strong enough?!

Of course it's awkward.

Moreover, Pire is also staying on the sidewalk in the middle and backcourt, doing the work of moving forward from the sidewalk to the attack, without dribbling forward.

Henry is often the only one in the frontcourt, waiting alone for Pire or Borgkamp to send him a pass, and then relying on his personal ability to try to create a shooting threat.

Rarely, Arsenal's offense has changed from varied to simple and boring.

Obviously, Arsenal is also playing against the defensive today!

And it is not the end point based on ordinary balance to seize the opportunity to counterattack, but the extreme defense against counterattack!

Wenger was stubborn and unwilling at this moment. He glanced at Mourinho and said to himself: Are you not the most popular coach in Europe? Come on! At your home court, let your players attack! What? You can only play against defense and counterattack? Give you the initiative. Do you not attack anymore?

After playing beautiful football for a season, Arsenal is the best strategy today, both based on strategic situations and its own situation.

As long as you don't lose at Stamford Bridge, Arsenal will still be the top team.

In the away game, the opponent is still an expert in defensive counterattack. Isn’t this seeking death?

Mourinho, as long as Chelsea can score one goal first, Arsenal will have to attack, and perhaps the result will be a Chelsea defeated victory!

But if Chelsea cannot defeat and score one goal by Arsenal counterattack, then Chelsea may have to score two goals with a strong attack. Can Chelsea complete such a task?

Wenger gritted his teeth. He had some regrets. If he had ordered the team to play such a scene before the second round of the Champions League started a few days ago, he would have ordered the team to play such a situation without caring about it at all. As long as the victory is ultimately defensive, Chelsea might not have scored the first goal. But only after failure can he wake up. This kind of thing is too common.

Mourinho broke out in cold sweat on his forehead on the sidelines.

Should we attack Arsenal hard or let the scene be stalemate watch Arsenal escape?

He knew that if Chelsea wins this game, they would almost secure the league championship.

But on the other hand, what if Arsenal wins?

Then you can also announce that Arsenal’s successful defending title!

Because Arsenal's lead will expand to a goal win!

They have a goal difference advantage, and as long as there will be no big defeat in the future, even if a small loss occurs, Arsenal will be on the head of Chelsea.

Mourinho has not given any instructions for a long time, and Chelsea players can only implement pre-match strategic deployment step by step. Of course, they mainly focus on fighting and counter-attack. In conventional offense, only three or four players in the frontcourt are difficult to make trouble in Arsenal's dense defense zone.

Mourinho weighs the pros and cons and must be thoughtful before making a decision.

Chelsea’s lack of creativity is naturally related to their tactical exercises.

The reason why their defenses are fast and fierce is actually related to the lack of changes in overall tactics.

This includes the basic strategy of player positioning.

Arsenal's rich offensive creativity is based on a tacit understanding established by players for a long time. In running positions, players frequently change positions and role changes, which make the opponent unable to defend.

Chelsea's defensive counterattack actually has relatively low requirements for players' running positions. In order to ensure the efficiency of counterattack, offensive players have strong control requirements for their respective areas.

Once there is room, when the backcourt player passes the ball forward, he will see his teammates in that area as soon as possible and immediately sends the pass, ensuring the speed and efficiency of the counterattack and achieving a smooth and fast effect.

This is the most powerful part of their counterattack. It looks monotonous, but it is difficult to exert huge power.

This requirement has become a kind of thinking constraint in Chelsea's positional battle. There are almost few players' switchovers. Except for the wingers, they are actually just changing the environment with personal performance. The overall idea has not changed much. In the positional battle, it is really difficult for them to shake Arsenal's tight defense by relying on point-to-point passes and lack further threats of player transfers and running passes to shake Arsenal's tight defense line.

For example, when Arsenal breaks through dense defense, the front midfielder turns into a winger, the front midfielder cuts into a front midfield, the forward turns into a winger or a second forward, the fullback attacks the frontline and turns into a forward role change, and the team cooperation, can Chelsea play?

Can't hit it!

It’s not a problem of ability at all, but a constraint on thinking and tactics!

Mourinho becomes more and more pessimistic the more he thinks. When his Chelsea breaks through the dense defense, he wants to break through Arsenal's defense line. If he cannot pay the offensive price of at least 6 people, it is almost impossible to touch Arsenal's goal.

If there is a blockbuster space in the backcourt and only three or four people defend, God knows what kind of good show Borgkamp and Henry will play. (To be continued. (.))
