Chapter 383 Capture Highbury
"This is a disappointing game!"
Wenger did not hide his disappointment at the post-match press conference.
"Our defense made a lot of mistakes, which made us punished, especially in the second half, they were able to create a threat when they took the ball, and they were taking advantage of our mistakes again and again."
"Yes, Henry's performance in this game is indeed not ideal, but he failed to score a goal, and all the players have a responsibility. I can only say that Chelsea organized it very targetedly in defense, which caused us trouble, but I don't think they are strong, nor do I think our gap is as big as zero to three."
"But no matter what, losing is losing. The score of zero to three will be a painful blow to us, but I believe we can learn from it. The Premier League is a long marathon, and the start does not mean everything."
Compared to Wenger's disappointment, Gao Han, who had won three goals, seemed very happy.
"We expected it to be a tough game from the beginning. Arsenal is a nearly perfect and balanced team that often does not give the opponent too much space, and the opponent has brought us huge trouble throughout the first half, causing our offense to fail again and again."
"I don't think this game is because the opponent is too bad. On the contrary, I think it's mainly because our players performed too well and we basically performed at the right level. This is the first time this season. I'm very satisfied with the results and the process. I also believe that this game will give us confidence."
"Today, at Highbury Stadium, I saw an incredible Chelsea team, each player performing nearly perfectly, every line is kept very tight, full of order and discipline, without the slightest chance of the opponent, which made us win the game in the end."
"Here, I want to tell my players and fans that as long as we continue to play like this, I believe that after the season, we will win the best and the result that everyone is eager to achieve."
All the media reporters at the scene clearly felt the strong confidence revealed by Gao Han's words and opinions, and anyone could feel the confidence that he brought to him by winning this game.
But it is obvious that it is not just because he beat Arsenal and scored three points.
"Yes, there are indeed some problems with Ibrahimovic and Etoo's performance before. I have talked to them many times. We are very honest with each other, but I want to say that there is no problem between me and the players, players and players."
"This game proves my point of view very well. The first goal that really changed the game trend was scored by Etoo's assist to Ibrahimovic, and the next two goals were scored by Ibrahimovic directly or indirectly assisted. I want to say that they both showed a very high level."
"This is the offensive combination I want, each of them is perfect!"

Chelsea's three-to-zero away defeat to Arsenal immediately aroused the amazement of media around the world.
When describing this three-to-zero score, the front page headline used [unbelievable] to describe it.
"No one would have thought that this score, which should have been evenly matched, would end with such an amazing score, but what is even more incredible is the control that Chelsea showed throughout the game."
"The ball possession rate in the first half hour was as high as 61%. Even if it weakened later, it reached 57% of the entire game, which means that Chelsea has suppressed Arsenal almost the entire game."
"In the past, we have always said that Arsenal is a top Premier League team. Wenger's team advocates speed and technology, which has made them the most eye-catching team in the Premier League for many years, but in this game, Chelsea showed us all a new concept of passing and controlling football."
"They have better foot skills, better speed and impact, but more importantly, they have super strong pass and control capabilities. Even Terry and Galas, the two central defenders who have been in the Premier League for many years, have joined Chelsea's pass and control team this season."
"Gao Han once again brought us surprises. When everyone suspected that his pass-and-control style would not work in the Premier League, he used the iron facts to tell us that he not only could play, but also could play well."
"The most representative one is undoubtedly Belon."
"White Wizard came to the Premier League with the halo of the world's chief midfielder and joined Manchester United, but he has never been able to perform at his peak in the Red Devils formation. But now, with the arrival of Gao Han, he has rediscovered the feeling of the core of the organization in Chelsea.
"In the past nine rounds of the league, Peron's performance has been better than the other. In this match against Arsenal, he and Deco joined forces to firmly control the ball and rhythm. Arsenal was even forced to retreat for most of the time."
"As Gao Han said before the game, this is a clear battle for Chelsea."
"And this game made us re-reach Chelsea!"
"I also got to know Gao Han again!"
In addition, the Guardian also published an interview with Ibrahimovic after the game.
The Swedish center was extremely happy that he was able to score in the game, but in a while, he expressed his gratitude to head coach Gao Han.
"I am very happy to score a goal. I hope to use it to repay the head coach's trust in me. It was him who brought me to the Premier League, and he also trusted me unconditionally while I was under tremendous pressure and controversy."
"When I learned that I was arranged to be in the same dormitory as Etoo, when I knew I missed the roster, I was really angry and said a few inappropriate words in the media. Here, I apologize sincerely and I hope to give this goal to our boss."
"I am not very satisfied with today's game, because I think I can do better and missed a few opportunities, but I believe that I will keep improving in every game in the next game."
"Anyway, this game gave me great motivation and also allowed me to see the direction I was moving forward."
At the same time, the Times also published a post-match interview with Chelsea striker Etoo, and the Cameroonian scorer, who was selected as the best player in the game, also expressed his gratitude to head coach Gao Han.
"This is a wonderful victory. I hope to give the goal to our head coach. He has always supported me and trusted me. I hope to score more goals for him."
Ronaldinho, the team's number one star, also shined in this game, not losing to Etoo at all. In an interview, the Brazilian star also highly praised his two teammates.
"I heard that the two forwards in the Premier League are popular with one high and one fast, but I believe that Ibrahimovic and Etoo are definitely the strongest among them. They are the kind of players who can always create surprises. I am very honored to be teammates with them."
Ronaldinho denied the conflict between the two players that was rumored by the outside world.
"It's definitely not a thing. We have a good relationship with each other. They are roommates, and everyone has seen it in the game. They are all trying to pass the ball for each other. I don't think this needs too much explanation."
Ronaldinho also gave a very high evaluation of the team's head coach Gao Han, and even he pushed all the credit to the head coach without thinking about his outstanding state this season.
"He trusts me with heart-to-heart, and it is him who made me decide to join Chelsea. I am willing to play for him, even if I play as a defender." The Brazilian grinned, revealing his cute buck teeth, and laughed.

The Blue Army captured the mortal enemy in the same city!
Chelsea destroys Arsenal!
The Blues Trident shines on Highbury, breaking the embarrassment of thirteen years!
...
After the game, the English media started hyping up the game, especially the performance of the Blues Trident, which gave a very high evaluation.
All three players performed one pass and one shot, especially the amazing strength they showed during the game, which shocked everyone who followed the game.
Even the Sun, which is not very close to Gao Han, wrote a comment and exclaimed that before the running-in was fully formed, Chelsea's trident had such amazing attack power. In time, they would become the strongest attack combination in the Premier League and even Europe, making all defensive players frightened.
In addition, many media have hyped Gao Han, believing that Gao Han's coaching at Chelsea has made a very outstanding start.
This game completely broke the bad impression of Chelsea mercenaries, allowing everyone to clearly see that Gao Han has invested in Chelsea, especially the passing and control style that the Blues insisted on implementing is unique in the entire Premier League.
Martin Samuel, a famous English columnist, wrote in his column: "It was a fantastic night for Chelsea. The high-altitude team finally shone brightly for the first time in the new season. They taught Arsenal and even the teams in the Premier League well."
After the game, Andy Gray, a famous commentator at Sky TV, also publicly stated that everything Gao Han did at Chelsea brought a breeze to the Premier League, allowing everyone to see the direction of the Premier League's technical and tactical innovation and take off the hat of the technical and tactical desert.
"Perhaps, looking back on this season many years later, we will find that Gao Han and Chelsea have become a major turning point in Premier League history, whether it is club management or technical and tactical development!"
That is, while the whole world was shocked and impressed by the high cold Chelsea, the ninth round of the Premier League was also over.
Manchester United beat Leeds United 1-0 away and successfully counterattacked Arsenal in the standings and ranked second in the league.
Liverpool lost 0-1 away to Portsmouth. Because of this loss, Hollier's team fell from the original eighth to the eleventh place, and the results were indeed not ideal.
But relatively speaking, Newcastle, Tottenham and other teams have won one after another and have all climbed out of the relegation zone.
The most surprising thing is Keegan's Manchester City, who defeated Bolton 6-2. Chinese player Sun Jihai played as the right back and performed well, and Manchester City's ranking has also improved to fifth place.
In the next round, Chelsea will play against Manchester City at home.
After this round of battle, the Premier League has been very clear. The ones that really have the ability to compete for the league championship are still Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea, which have emerged this season and firmly occupy the top spot.
