Chapter 351 The last fight
As the game time passes, Chelsea players are increasingly desperate, and in order to stop Chelsea's offensive, Arsenal has begun to use old tactics.
Foul, in the 59th minute, Ramsey received a yellow card in order to block Chelsea's offense. Five minutes later, Casorla received the second yellow card in the game.
Three yellow cards were picked up in ten minutes. After Cazorla, Coquelin forced the referee to take out the cards because of a flying tackle. Oliver's law enforcement level seemed to have improved at the beginning of the second half.
These three yellow cards of Arsenal are not unfair at all, and these three yellow cards are also very worthwhile because these three yellow cards disrupt Chelsea's offensive rhythm and helped the team survive the most difficult period.
Mourinho on the sidelines was very dissatisfied with the three yellow cards of Arsenal. The madman rushed towards the fourth official again, and Wenger followed closely before sarcasticating.
The fourth official said he was very depressed. After a game, Wenger and Mourinho kept causing trouble for him, and now they were drooling each other.
However, at this moment, the referee made things worse. In the 71st minute, Drogba received a pass from the side of the penalty area and then shot, but the ball hit Koscheerney.
Drogba complained to Oliver immediately, and Chelsea fans in the stands shouting penalty kicks desperately, trying to put pressure on the referee in this way.
But unfortunately, it was useless. Oliver ignored Drogba's complaint and even more so on the fans in the stands.
In fact, compared with the first half, Oliver in the second half had already made a lot better in the penalty, and at least he did not make any misjudgment in the first twenty minutes.
After the 20-minute attack that had been beaten by Chelsea, Arsenal began to exert force. In the 73rd minute, Cazorla gave Giroud a pick-through in the hinterland. Giroud knocked back to pass the ball under Terry's defense and rushed to Cazorla who rushed to the front of the penalty area. The latter was facing a heavy gun with great force.
"Almost~~~" Arsenal fans in the stands hugged their heads with regrets as they watched the ball flew out of the bottom line against the beam.
Substitution, Chamberlain was replaced by Griezmann, and Chamberlain is almost invisible until now. Although a draw is enough, if he has the chance to win the game, Wenger will definitely fight.
Arsenal has never beaten Chelsea, let alone Wenger has not beaten Chelsea led by Mourinho. It is impossible to say that Wenger has no idea in his heart. Griezmann's substitution is a true portrayal of Wenger's inner thoughts.
In the 78th minute, Arsenal once again entered Chelsea's hinterland, but Cazorla was still there. However, this time Cazorla created opportunities for his teammates. He held the ball and attracted the attention of defensive players and passed the ball Ramsey, who shot directly from a long distance in the penalty area.
But Ramsey's shot was a bit tragic, because Ramsey's shot was on his teammate, Giroud and the Frenchman spread their hands helplessly and said that they did not do it on purpose.
The way of others comes to the other person. Seeing that Arsenal plays smoothly and becomes stronger and stronger, Chelsea players begin to use fouls to disrupt Arsenal's rhythm.
William and Ivanovic have applied for yellow cards one after another, and Chelsea are very careful when fouls, avoiding giving Arsenal a good free kick.
Li Shou's 100% free kick success rate is like a sharp sword hanging over the heads of all enemies. All teams who want to rely on fouls to block Arsenal's offensive have to consider this issue.
However, Chelsea did a very good job in this game. The position control of several fouls was very good and he did not give Arsenal a chance at all.
Li Shou did not force this. Li Shou had a balanced footstep and could shoot at any position, but the risk of goalkeeper leaving the goal is too high. If it is not necessary, Li Shou would not leave.
If Arsenal tied or fell behind in the standings, Li Shou would definitely rush forward and compete, but now Arsenal is still 6 points ahead of Chelsea, so there is no need to compete.
Indeed, if Li Shou scored, the gap between the two sides might be further widened, but what if they didn't make it? What if they didn't make it and Chelsea seized the opportunity?
Besides, compared to Chelsea having only four games left, Arsenal has five games left. Instead of taking risks when facing Chelsea, it is better to be more stable.
So even if Chelsea really gives Arsenal a free kick opportunity with a very good position, it may not necessarily take the penalty, but Li Shou may not necessarily go, and Wenger may not necessarily, after all, the professor has not beat Mourinho yet.
Continuing to substitution, Virbeck replaced Giroud. In fact, under the care of Terry and Cahill, Giroud did not get much chance in this game.
After Arsenal's substitution, the game time has reached 85 minutes, and the remaining time in this game will not exceed ten minutes.
Seeing that there was not much time, Mourinho was preparing for his last try, and Cuadrado replaced Matic, which was also the only offensive player on the bench.
One minute after Mourinho's substitution, Wenger used the last substitution place to defend the midfielder Flamini to replace Sanchez.
After seeing this substitution, Mourinho immediately cursed. Wenger's substitution made Mourinho realize that Arsenal actually does not need to pursue victory.
Arsenal's strength in the second half, coupled with Wenger's two substitutions, gives people an illusion, an illusion of chasing all the way, but in fact, with Arsenal's current advantage, a draw can be accepted.
When Arsenal used up his third substitution, the game time had reached the 88th minute. Because of this substitution, Mourinho and Wenger once again started to spray each other.
The fourth official was too lazy to pay attention to the two, and the game on the court had continued. Chelsea launched an attack, but was strongly blocked by Arsenal after entering the half.
Time passed by minute by minute, and in a blink of an eye the game entered stoppage time. Four minutes were the stoppage time given by Oliver. After this stoppage time was determined, Wenger and Mourinho continued to look at each other and play with each other.
Wenger felt that the stoppage time was too long, while Mourinho felt that the stoppage time was too short. When the two "in-depth exchanges" on the stoppage time, Chelsea finally completed a shot on the court.
Drogba headed the ball, and Cuadrado controlled the ball and passed it diagonally to Hazard. The Belgian moved across the wing and sent the ball into the penalty area. At this time, Cuadrado had already rushed into the Arsenal penalty area.
"Chelsea's chance~~~Cuadrado~~~Shot" There was no defensive player around when Cuadrado received a pass from Hazard.
"Li~~~The ball didn't go in." Cuadrado took a strong shot. Li Shou jumped for life in front of the goal and blocked Cuadrado's shot with one arm.
In a tactical corner kick, Oscar passed the ball to Hazard, who brought the ball to the side of Arsenal's penalty area and sent it with a relatively low control. The ball flew into Arsenal's penalty area again.
