After defeating Hull City, Chelsea's opponent in the next game is the old rival Arsenal. With their good performance in December, Arsenal increased their points and entangled the top two Manchester United and Chelsea.

This London derby, like the first leg, is still a key battle for the league title.

In this Premier League focus battle, Chelsea took advantage of the home field advantage and attacked Arsenal's defense line as soon as the game started. Wenger really wanted to be on the road, avoiding his edge, and didn't start a big confrontation with Chirsch, but wanted to rely on defense to avoid Chirsey's three tricks in the opening game.

However, Lampard's long-range goal in the 9th minute of the first half directly penetrated Arsenal's defense.

In the case of scoring the first goal, Chelsea directly switched to the safest defensive counterattack state according to the pre-match tactics, handed over possession of the ball, and relied on defense to fight Arsenal's counterattack.

Although Arsenal had almost the entire game time to counterattack, there was nothing they could do about Chelsea's tight defense.

Chelsea, whose winning streak has been extremely fierce recently, originally planned to complete the revenge battle against Everton in the away game, hoping to win 8 consecutive victories, and then hit the Premier League's winning streak. However, in this game, Everton showed his solid defensive skills in the game.

Even though Everton is playing at their own home court, they usually attack to please the fans, but in this game, in order to help Manchester United hold off Chelsea, Everton's formation of five central defenders, sticking to the penalty area, is still very effective.

The Everton generals, who are tall and tall, are not too disadvantaged in the defense of set kicks. In addition, several Chelsea midfielders are not going well in this field. Chelsea, who are restricted everywhere in the attack, is really There is no chance of breaking the door.

In the end, Chelsea had close to 70% of the ball possession rate and shot more than 15 long-range shots from the outside, but still did not score a goal.

Chelsea's excellent state in the past two months has benefited from the support provided by a solid defense. Thanks to the excellent defensive efforts of Yang Feng and Terry in the back line, Chelsea can invest unscrupulously in the offensive end and continue to strengthen the team's offense in the frontcourt, so that Chelsea can always take the lead in the game. Play better defensive counterattack tactics.

In the league, after passing the Christmas schedule, they only drew one game and won the rest of the games. The outstanding record comes from the hard work of all Chelsea players.

And in the FA Cup that started in the second half of the season, Chelsea, who had a good signing all the way, also relied on the perfect performance of their substitute players without too much consumption, and successfully reached the top 8.

The head coach who is now in charge of Inter Milan is also an old acquaintance of most of the players in the Chelsea team-Jose Mourinho!

It can be said that the two keys to laying the foundation for Chelsea's current giants, one is the money of the boss Abramovich, and the other is Mourinho.

Even now on the defensive end, Chelsea still has many legacy left by Mourinho...
