Chapter 367(2/3)
Chelsea are becoming more and more experienced in defending, and Arsenal, who are one goal behind, are more impatient than at the beginning of the second half.
However, Wenger kept thinking about how to defend against Pan Yi's new move after 70 minutes, but Chelsea made a substitution at 60 minutes.
Therefore, Pan Yi stood on the sidelines and kept reminding everyone to pay more attention and maintain concentration. He also shouted to each other to remind each other about their positions and not to relax because of the goal just now.
"Cech moved very fast and dived directly for the ball... However, it seems that due to the influence of William's unkempt hair, the trajectory of his header changed slightly..."
It’s okay to celebrate when you score a goal, but don’t keep it too long, after all, the game isn’t over yet!
After the game restarted, Arsenal served and immediately pressed hard.
but now……
"I feel like the team's thinking is a bit inconsistent now, and there are differences in ideas."
"Oops, the shot was too high and it flew directly into the stands."
However, it seems that this cannot be completely blamed on Arsenal's attacking team for not listening to the coach's instructions.
"It's just that now we can all see that Arsenal has so many problems, can't Pan Yi see it?"
The frontcourt presses up, and midfield players such as Cazorla have no choice but to press up in order to avoid the separation between the front and backcourt.
"When the opponent is tightly defending, we can either press a strong attack, use a fast-paced offensive, and press the frontcourt to force the opponent to make mistakes, and then use the players' personal ability advantages to solve the opponent."
"Martinez made another great save, corner kick!"
The away team's Chelsea fans immediately burst into joy.
"With one goal ahead, Chelsea's defensive counterattack will definitely be more resolute!"
Ian Wright was worried, and Lineker nodded:
"I seem to have noticed it. Arsenal's frontcourt stars now seem to be in a situation where they are fighting alone."
All attacking players!
It seems that he is really going to cause trouble!
"No offside! It was a one-on-one goal..."
"Another winger Hazard, who came on as a substitute, inserted himself into the ribs from the wing. His explosive speed was very fast, and he directly left behind Bellerin, who was known for his speed but was unprepared."
"Especially after 70 minutes... Hey, I looked at the time and it's not even 60 minutes yet. No matter what, Pan Yi's substitutions are always interesting."
"We saw the ball moved to the left and handed it to Hazard. There was no chance. The ball was passed back to Kanter and then to William, facing Cochrane's defense..."
"Arsenal took a corner kick and there was chaos in the penalty area."
"Now, all the Chelsea fans are celebrating like crazy, as if the Emirates Stadium now belongs to them!"
"The two were entangled. Cazorla swayed several times but failed to shake Kanter's center of gravity. Instead, Kanter saw the opportunity and stretched his foot to intercept the ball."
"As for why Lingard was replaced in the middle position? It was because he wanted to further use his deft movement and interleaving to attack Arsenal's weaknesses, which are the weaknesses of the central defender's slow movement, slow turn, and slow filling of positions."
"We seem to be completely led by Chelsea now."
"No, it's not a cross, because there is no high center forward in Chelsea now. Hazard passed the ball to the back point!"
"Linggard plays as a shadow striker, and he can further drop back to support the midfield, thereby helping his side regain control of the midfield, and it is also more confusing during counterattacks. After all, there is no center forward now, and anyone can move forward.
Get to the front!”
But the more this happens, the Arsenal's offense becomes less and less efficient, while Chelsea's counterattack becomes better and better.
"Zuma made a header to clear the ball and left the penalty area."
"Chelsea scored!"
He has been teammates with Hazard for several years, and he has beaten the Belgian countless times on the training ground. Therefore, he knows that if Hazard bullies him into the goal and takes aim, he will really have a chance.
All gone!
But the problem is that Hazard's dribbling speed is really very fast, even faster than Cech's prediction.
"If this is really the case, it means that Pan Yi has long understood Chelsea's current defensive situation. The current starting three players are used to consume Arsenal's physical and energy."
This frightened Cech and he subconsciously pounced on him.
"He seems to be content to keep defending like this? He doesn't really just want to take a point, right? Is this still the Pan Yi we know?"
"The winger William on the other side just headed the ball!"
Hazard, wearing a blue jersey, was like a blue lightning, throwing away multiple Arsenal defenders in an instant and catching up with Lingard's through ball.
After Cech pounced to the right, Hazard suddenly dunked to the left. As soon as he dunked over, his left foot quickly flew out.
"The Chelsea fans in the audience are excited! There is a saying circulating in the Premier League this season that every on-the-spot command and substitution by Pan Yi can change the situation of the game."
“The ball went in!!!!”
Under normal circumstances, position substitution is the most common and safest.
Wenger on the sidelines also stood up.
The place where the substitutes were warming up happened to be on the visiting team's side of the stands, and the fans also gave them warm applause.
Even though Wenger kept reminding him from the sidelines, it still didn't help.
Of course he was nervous when Pan Yi made a substitution.
"Arsenal central defender Mordessack, who has been defending Lukaku, seems to have not adapted to the opponent's style of play without a center, and did not catch up immediately."
"So Lingard got the ball easily and had enough time to look ahead. Then, he passed the ball, and it was a ball that went straight behind him!"
"At this period of time, Arsenal attacked very fiercely. But we can see that Chelsea defended very steadily and did not give the opponent a decent chance to score."
"Kante made a beautiful steal! Then he immediately passed the ball to his teammates in the frontcourt."
This is also human nature.
What kind of melon-style rejuvenation method is this?
"But Hazard's feet were very fast, and it was difficult for Mertesacker to keep up with his rhythm! Hazard easily swung away from an angle and then made a cross!"
However, Gnabry and Seat B were replaced by Hazard and Willian. This was considered a match-up substitution between the two wingers, which is understandable;
Why did Lingard replace Lukaku?
In particular, Pan Yi often makes such "generous decisions", and everyone is not surprised.
"Arsenal's attack is coming again!"
"Now it seems that replacing them at this time is something Pan Yi has already prepared for."
Putting Lingard in the center position? This is obviously unrealistic. After all, Lingard has no fulcrum and header ability.
"In addition, we did not do a very good job in pressing in the midfield and frontcourt. They all wanted to score goals as soon as possible! Therefore, more energy was invested in offense and they were a bit slack on defense."
This scene on the Chelsea bench was immediately captured by the fans in the stands and the sensitive television live footage.
"Now, with the pressure so high, the rhythm is slowed down by the opponent's tight defense, and we can't get up fast. Under the opponent's tight defense, we can't find any gaps at all and can't play a threatening offense.
That's very dangerous."
"Almost." Pan Yi waved his hand, "Let Hazard, Lingard and William go up."
Because players are so excited after scoring a goal that they sometimes lose focus.
The only explanation is to let Lingard play as a shadow striker in the middle, and then Chelsea starts playing without a striker.
"Ake was very fast. He blocked Giroud's shot and the ball didn't bounce far. Ramsey on the other side hit again!"
Every time Chelsea counterattacks, no matter whether there is a threat or not, they have to quickly return to defense and run back and forth, which consumes a lot of physical energy.
Almost all the Chelsea fans jumped up from their seats with a cry, eyes wide open, and looked at the stadium.
Arsenal pressed forward for a long time, which actually put a lot of pressure on their defensive players.
But I didn’t expect that the opponent would score first? This is even more depressing.
Chelsea still chose to shrink their defense and firmly defend their own 30-meter area.
But what Cech didn't expect was that Hazard's move was a fake move!
"This time Sanchez ran to the right, and he wanted to pass it to Wilshere in the center, but he was touched by Kante, who was coming from Chelsea to defend. The ball changed direction and rolled towards the center circle."
Otherwise, it is impossible for everyone to retreat to their own restricted area and then look at each other from a distance, right?
The ball cannot be given to the opponent out of thin air.
It was also at this moment that the Chelsea fans in the visiting team's stands burst into deafening shouts!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
How can every old player score goals when he returns home?
In the Sky Sports studio, Lineker, the "Pan Chui", understood Pan Yi's intentions and said:
"In the first 60 minutes, Lukaku, including Gnabry and the B bench, have been running as hard as they can, sprinting back and forth, consuming the physical energy of Arsenal's defense players. In fact, I was still worried about whether they could make it in the second half.
Get through it all.”
"William!"
