Strong Waist

Chapter 81 They are old

"The first half of the game is over. Chelsea's performance was much worse than we expected. Conte's three-back formation did not show the expected effect. Instead, it was used by Arsenal to continue to exert pressure. I think Chelsea played in the second half. A change has to be made, a change is needed, and it needs to be done fast!"

The implication is that Chelsea must make a substitution.

The three central defenders obviously couldn't handle Arsenal's offense, and they had to switch to the four-back style of play.

And this change is urgent. How to delay for some time, Chelsea may lose three points, let alone equalize at home.

This has a great impact on their winning streak in the previous period and their ranking in the standings.

"We have to make a change! ASAP!"

In Chelsea's dressing room, Azpilicueta said with a look of irritability.

The pressure on their defense was too great throughout the first half.

Arsenal's high-post press blocked their line of play. With that kind of overall forward pressure and grabbing, Chelsea's defense encountered a serious test, but it was almost pierced by the opponent.

If they don't return to the back four, they will inevitably lose the ball in the second half.

Conte is also aware of the seriousness of the problem. Although the three-center defender can enhance the midfield and overall mobility, Chelsea obviously did not play the desired effect.

In fact, the problem is in the midfield.

When the midfield is suppressed, the pressure moves back to the defense and eventually the whole tactic collapses.

Conte needs to admit that this was his miscalculation.

"Terry go warm up!"

Chelsea's old captain Terry, as a veteran, he has not played for a long time.

During this period of time, the state has recovered well, but it is already in a situation of not playing a game, and it is possible to retire at any time.

And now, Conte can only send Terry to play, and the focus is back to the back four.

Seeing the old captain going to warm up, the Chelsea players became a little more stable.

At the same time, they are also discussing how to get back the field in the second half.

On the other hand, Arsenal's side is more about staying the same.

"In the second half, Kai's position was slightly recovered. Let's observe Chelsea's playing style and changes first, and make specific adjustments!"

With a one-goal lead, Arsenal can deal with the second half of the game more calmly.

Now they just need to stabilize the situation, take advantage of their lead, and continue to put pressure on each other.

There is no doubt that Chelsea will be more anxious in the second half, and their offensive pressure will be great.

And what Arsenal needs to do is to prescribe the right medicine, and make corresponding adjustments on the basis of understanding the opponent's tactical intentions.

Mourinho is still very confident in his command.

And with the midfield strength of Lucky + Kanter, even in the face of the most intense attack, they can resist for a period of time, giving Mourinho enough time to react.

Soon, the intermission is over.

Players from both sides returned to the field.

"Chelsea made a change. Terry came off the bench in the second half. This is the third time Terry has come off the bench this season, but compared to before, this time Terry is under more pressure."

"Chelsea are not only behind at this time, but they also need to fight the attacking pressure of Arsenal."

As soon as the words fell, Arsenal kicked off quickly.

As soon as the game started, Arsenal took advantage of Aubameyang's assault point and directly made a breakthrough on the left wing.

The ball was passed, Lukaku made the ball with his back, and Wilshere followed up and shot.

The ball was slightly higher than the crossbar and flew into the stands.

As soon as the second half started, Arsenal took the lead.

This attack shocked everyone at Chelsea into a cold sweat.

"Arsenal's offense still showed a strong desire to score goals in the second half, while Chelsea seemed to have never found the feeling of the game!"

The commentator Paul Merson shook his head and said: "Chelsea's defense is still not stable enough, but we can look forward to their performance on the offensive end."

Chelsea took a goal kick, and after the full-back received the ball, it was passed to the midfielder immediately.

However, the midfielder was forced to pass back under pressure.

Generally speaking, defenders at this time have a certain amount of preparation time.

But the Arsenal players jumped over the midfielder and ran straight forward.

David Luiz had just received the ball, and he had no choice but to sabotage it with his big foot.

The ball was once again in the pocket of Arsenal.

"Damn it!

"

Fabregas cursed secretly, he played extremely depressed.

The overall was suppressed, and his performance was not particularly outstanding. The worst thing was that he couldn't even control the ball, and he played passively throughout the game.

It's a bad feeling.

Emotions such as eagerness, anxiety, irritability, anger, etc. are spreading in the hearts of Chelsea players.

At this time, they are still at a disadvantage, and they are still behind.

This is simply the worst script ever!

"Must get the ball!"

Thinking of this, Fabregas rushed straight to Lucky.

"Cesc Fabregas rushed to Lucky, he was going to grab the ball himself!"

Fabregas' defensive ability is not particularly good, but at this time he was forced to do nothing.

As soon as Cesc Fabregas came over here, Le Kai moved the ball to the left, and the former also followed up.

But Lucky suddenly pulled the ball, and the sheepskin was about to break through from the left, Fabregas twisted his waist and followed up again.

But Lucky chose to smash the ball again.

Three consecutive shakes directly knocked Fabregas to the ground.

Lucky, on the other hand, easily completed the breakthrough.

"Cesc Fabregas is knocked down, Arsenal's attacking chance!"

Matic rushed towards Le Kai immediately, trying to limit the opponent.

But at this time, Lucky had passed the ball to Wilshere, and the latter strode the ball directly into the penalty area.

After another chicken and dog jump, the ball was cleared by Azpilicueta and kicked off the sidelines.

"Chelsea's! The kick was too hasty, Fabregas was too hasty, he shouldn't have played, just follow Kay!"

After Paul Mosen finished speaking, Dixon on the side sighed; "I'm afraid I can't keep up!"

"In the two changes of direction just now, we can see that Fabregas's turning movement is obviously much slower. This is the gap of six years younger! The body functions are at different levels. We need to admit that the current Fabregas Gas can no longer play the flexible football he used to!"

Fabregas got up from the ground, his expression seemed indifferent, but his heart was full of bitterness.

When he was knocked down by Le Kai three times in a row, the unwillingness, anger, bitterness and other emotions in his heart made him extremely uncomfortable.

His thinking and judgment can keep up with Lucky's movements.

But only the body can't keep up.

This is the most painful thing.

Coincidentally, after Fabregas was knocked down by Lucky, Chelsea's defense had problems.

In 67 minutes, Chelsea finally found an opportunity to attack. Hazard shot from a small angle in the penalty area and was hugged by goalkeeper Martinez.

And Martinez also got up quickly and passed forward directly with his foot.

This time, instead of passing to Aubameyang, he chose Mane.

At this time, the overall formation of Chelsea is forward, and Martinez's kick has found Mane's running route again.

Therefore, except for Terry, who was delayed, Chelsea had no time at all.

Terry kept retreating, judging where Mane and the ball fell.

But soon, he panicked.

too fast!

Mane's starting speed and running speed are too fast.

This caused Terry to be caught up very quickly.

In desperation, Terry thought about taking off and clearing with a header.

But his judgment miscalculated so slightly, the ball rubbed his scalp and landed behind him.

Terry slipped and fell directly to the ground.

At this moment, Terry's head was blank, and he subconsciously wanted to grab Mane's ankle.

But the arms stretched out, grabbing air.

When Terry raised his head again, Mane had already entered the penalty area with the ball, facing the attacking goalkeeper, and steadily scored the ball into their goal.

Arsenal scored again in the second half.

In the case of Chelsea losing two goals, they are likely to suffer a defeat in this round.

However, compared to the failure, the commentators put more attention on Terry and Cesc Fabregas.

Paul Merson said with emotion; "Two mistakes in a row, Terry and Cesc Fabregas, these two players we used to trust very much, their abilities and honors are enough to support a team, but now They are at the end of their careers! We need to admit, they are getting old!"

The fans are also very emotional.

Lucky's shaking and Mane's speed, these are telling everyone that the players of Terry and Fabregas' era are getting old.

The departure of the older generation of players from the main stage has become a given.

And a wonderful new era is about to begin!
