"...A counterattack from Arsenal, Villott got the ball and passed it to the middle..."

"Henry got rid of Marklele, and afterwards, Terry headed the ball and cleared it, beautiful defense!"

"Arsenal's counterattack was very fast this time, but Chelsea's return to defense was not slow either. The two central defenders Terry and Galas completed the task well in one-on-one defense."

...

"Chelsea launched a counterattack, the ball came to the left, Bridge made a cross and was pushed out by Campbell."

"Berlon got the ball, moved his big foot, and once again came to the left and handed it to Ronaldinho."

"Ronaldinho passed to Deco, Deco knocked back..."

"The beautiful bottom line is two and one, Ronaldinho broke into the goal and passed to the middle, Ibrahimovic..."

"Oh, it's almost a little bit, Ibrahimovic wasted an excellent opportunity!"

"The Swedish center also looks very upset and very depressed."

"From the slow motion replay, we can see that Ibrahimovic was disturbed by Kholo Toure during the start."

...

"It's still Chelsea who got the ball or passed it to the left."

"It was Ronaldinho who got the ball again, forcibly broke through Lauren and passed to the back point."

"Etoo followed and shot straight..."

"High!"

"Chelsea's offensive has been very strong in recent times, but Arsenal's defense is very stable."

...

"Ronaldinho once again got the ball on the left, he faced Lauren alone, and it seemed like he was going to do it alone."

"Okay, Ronaldinho cuts inward, goes to the middle, passes it to Ibrahimovic, and passes it back..."

"Gilberto Silva's return to defense is very decisive."

...

"Since the start of the game, Chelsea has firmly controlled the situation of the game, but Arsenal's defense is very stable and has not given Chelsea any chance."

"The game has been going on for thirty minutes, and we saw that Chelsea's steal data was amazing, reaching 14 times, and all of them were successful. This is simply shocking, reflecting the Blues' excellent pressing and oppressing ability."

"In comparison, Arsenal only had five steals in the first thirty minutes, which was indeed a bit lax."

"In addition, we can see that Chelsea's first thirty minutes shots reached 11 times, but only one shot was direct, and only three shots were shots in the penalty area. The others were basically long shots from the outside, while Arsenal's shots were only two times, both shots from Henry during the counterattack."

"There is also the ball possession rate that many of our fans are very concerned about. Chelsea's ball possession rate in the first 30 minutes is quite amazing, reaching 61%. In other words, Arsenal, which has always been praised as a skill in the Premier League, has only a mere 39% possession rate in front of Chelsea."

"I don't know how to describe the first half hour game, Martin, what do you think?"

After Andy Gray asked, Martin Taylor immediately took over the topic.

"Yes, I want to say that from the first thirty minutes, Chelsea can be said to have completely dominated the game."

"As we expected before the game, the Blues' pass and control played very well. Although there were problems in the offensive end when it came to Ibrahimovic and Etoo, we can see that the Blues have done quite well in other aspects, and can even be said to have completely overwhelmed Arsenal."

"I think from the first thirty minutes of the game, we can see the similarities and differences between the two head coaches, Gao Han and Wenger."

"For example, they all attach great importance to technical players, but Gao Han's purpose is to pass and control, and even talented players like Ronaldinho must join the pressure and pressing in the midfield. However, relatively speaking, Wenger is relatively relaxed in treating technical players."

"At the same time, I think that in this game, we have seen everything Gao Han did at Chelsea. He adhered to the football philosophy he implemented at Atletico Madrid and hoped to copy this advanced pass and control style that is even in mainland Europe to the Premier League."

"But he was wise, and did not choose to copy stereotype, but cleverly combined with the characteristics of the Premier League on the basis of sticking to his football philosophy, such as his reuse of Ibrahimovic."

Andy Gray immediately nodded and agreed: "Yes, from this game, I think Ibrahimovic is indeed excellent, especially in the face of Kloe Toure and Campbell, the two central defenders could hardly resist him. Their physical fitness was so excellent and their feet were very fine. This was very consistent with Gao Han's philosophy."

"Yes, this is why Gao Han always values ​​Ibrahimovic. In addition to his skills, he also needs physical fitness to compete with Premier League central defenders. This is much better than Good Johnson."

Martin Taylor said this and exclaimed: "I think I'm starting to change my view of Ibrahimovic a little now, and I really hope Gao Han can bring him out."

"Relatively speaking, Arsenal's few counterattacks in this game were all declared dead on Henry's side. We always thought before the game that Ferreira would be the breakthrough point for Arsenal's offense in this game, but now it seems that the Portuguese right-back's defense against Henry is relatively successful." Andy Gray said.

"Yes, that's right, with Marklele and Perron, Gao Han obviously paid enough attention to Arsenal's left offense and invested a lot in defense. It should be said that it was relatively successful. This is also the reason why Chelsea can gain an advantage on the field."

"So, the problem now is that neither side has found an effective way to break the opponent's goal in the game."

"Well, this requires looking at the specific thoughts of the two head coaches."

…………

On the court, Chelsea launched another attack, but was still making trouble on the left.

After Ronaldinho got the ball, he passed it to the penalty area. Ibrahimovic headed the ball to grab the first landing point under the clamping of Campbell and Kloe Toure, and pushed it to Deco, who was at the forefront of the penalty area.

But Deco's long shot that followed hit Lehman again.

Chelsea missed another good opportunity to score.

In the stands at the Highbury Stadium, Abramovich seemed a little depressed and let out a strong voice, venting the depression in his heart.

From the opening game to now, Chelsea has made more than a dozen shots, but it has never really threatened Arsenal's goal. This feeling of being in a position of not scoring makes Abramovich feel very depressed.

"If we had Shevchenko, Crespo, or Henry, we would have scored a goal long ago!"

Pini Zahavi said something unscrupulously.

Abramovich's face moved, but soon sat back in a quiet manner.

As an agent and Abramovich's friend, Pini Zahavi, who is good at observing words and expressions, is naturally aware of the Russians' thoughts. He knows that Abramovich is ambitious to build a team similar to Real Madrid.

It’s not just about achieving results, not just about playing well, but also about having superstars.

A star of Ronaldinho's level cannot meet Abramovich's requirements at all.

What he wants is the world's number one player in every position!

After understanding this, Pini Zahavi knew very clearly what he should say and do.

Because he understands better than anyone else that he, Roman Abramovich, is Chelsea’s only master!

…………

…………

The first half ended at zero to zero, and neither side scored a goal.

Gao Han returned to the locker room and went to the coaching rest area first. He discussed with Sergio Garcia and Cantalero and other coaching staff members, and formulated countermeasures for the problems exposed in the first half.

When Gao Han came to the players' rest area, everyone was already waiting for him.

They all knew that Gao Han would never give up.

"Everyone performed well in the first half. Although he failed to score, I am very satisfied with the performance of each of you."

Gao Han's words made every player present relax and a big stone fell to the ground.

"However, our team also exposed some problems, Samuel."

"Boss." Etoo, who was named, was so nervous that he stood up immediately.

This Cameroonian player fought very hard in the first half, Gao Han knew very well, but the tactical effect was not particularly ideal.

"I found that you often lean into the middle, which is not a good phenomenon. They have double midfielders in the middle, and the middle is very dense. On the contrary, Ashley Cole's offense is very strong. He often stays on the left side, and the distance between Campbell is a bit long. You should make good use of this."

Etoo heard that the head coach had never thought of replacing him, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.

"Zlatan." Gao Han looked at Ibrahimovic again.

He was also very satisfied with the performance of the Swedish center and was so sincere that he had nothing to say.

With a tonnage like Ibrahimovic and being able to maintain such speed and running on the court, Gao Han really couldn't make any more demands for him.

"Your mission is done well, but you should have more cooperation with Samuel and Ronaldinho, for example..."

Behind Gao Han, Emery had already lined up a tactical board, and there were chess pieces representing the player's number attached. Gao Han was in the front of the penalty area representing Arsenal's half, explaining various changes and routines about the team's offense.

As the saying goes, everything changes will never be separated. Although the players have different characteristics and styles, many things are the same.

Gao Han once led a center forward like Kiko when he was at Atletico Madrid and formulated offensive tactics around Kiko. So now he trained Ibrahimovic, which is very good, making the Swedish center convinced.

As for Ronaldinho...

"I only have one requirement for you, Ronaldinho." Gao Han felt that the Brazilian was the best and most critical player this season, but he believed that the Brazilian should be able to do better.

"You said." Ronaldinho nodded.

"I hope you can be more aggressive, even at the forefront of the penalty area, as long as you are sure, I will allow you to hit the ball at any time. Do you understand what I mean?"

After hearing this, Ronaldinho nodded heavily, "I understand."

He felt Gao Han valued and trusted him.

Gao Han nodded affirmatively at Ronaldinho and looked around the players around him, "Okay, guys."

All the players immediately looked at the head coach in unison.

"I still say the same thing. In this game, we have to justify ourselves, we have to tell all our opponents what kind of team we are, and in the first half, each of us did a pretty good job, and I hope the second half will be too."

Gao Han shook his head, "Don't give Arsenal any chance. Use our offense and our pass control advantages to defeat them. Do you have any confidence?"
