Chapter 395: Upstart

"Chelsea immediately launched a counter-attack in the frontcourt after conceding the ball."

"Peron grabbed the ball and passed it to Ronaldinho."

"Okay, Ronaldinho made a straight pass and passed the ball into the penalty area."

"Etoo and insert it..."

"The ball is in!!!"

"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!"

"In the ninth minute, in the ninth minute, Etoo won another game and scored twice!"

"Oh my god, this time Arsenal made a serious mistake."

"Campbell and Krish double-team Etoo at the same time, but the Cheetah still caught the ball and seized the opportunity to score. 2-0, Chelsea scored a perfect start!"

"In less than ten minutes, Chelsea scored two goals in a row!"

"This is also Eto's 21st goal in the Premier League this season, and his goal condition is amazing."

"This is the season with the most goals in Africa's Cheetah's career."

"The current situation is quite unfavorable for Arsenal. They were two goals behind less than ten minutes into the game. The situation was very awkward. Wenger must come up with a solution as soon as possible."

...

The live game footage was also given to the sidelines. Unlike Gao Han who was so excited that he danced with joy in front of the home team coach's seat, Wenger looked solemn, sitting in the visiting team coach's seat, looking straight ahead with his eyes, as if there was no camera at all.

He finally knew where his previous uneasiness came from.

That was a very serious misjudgment!

He knew about Mark Lail's absence, Gao Han knew about it, and the whole world knew about it.

For the absence of such an important player, the head coach usually adopts relatively stable tactics, substitutions against each other, and strengthens defense at the same time. In other words, Deco and Perron should try not to push forward, maintain a distance from Parker, and jointly control the entire midfield.

But Gao Han is obviously not an ordinary head coach, this guy is just a lunatic.

As early as Atletico Madrid, he was known for not playing according to common sense and always had some sudden and strange actions.

For example, before the key battle against Real Madrid, he suddenly announced the starting lineup in advance, causing Real Madrid to lose all their positions and defeat the opponent.

And this time, he obviously didn't follow the norm and did not choose to defend, but instead attacked.

As the head coach who is best at attacking in European football today, Gao Han has always been controlling since he came to the Premier League, because Premier League teams are famous for their fast-moving whirlwind attacking. They will not test at all and will directly push them out as soon as they come out. This is also the reason why many foreign head coaches are not adapted to the Premier League.

Faced with such a team, Gao Han did not need to emphasize too much on attack, but paid attention to the team's control. This led to many people gradually neglecting his attainments in attack after he came to the Premier League.

But the problem is that Arsenal is not a typical Premier League team, but a continental team.

So this time, Chelsea suddenly attacked abnormally and caught Arsenal off guard.

The first goal was only twenty-seven seconds, and it is estimated that there were still a large group of fans in the stands who failed to find their position and the ball went in.

Vieira was a bit arrogant, and Wenger couldn't say much about the counterattack caused by the mistake of dribbling and was cut off.

As for the second goal, Campbell had a groin injury, Crish was young and lacked experience, Eto Au frequently created threats between the two in this game, which shows that Gao Han had planned it long ago.

Thinking of this, Wenger was depressed and breathed heavily.

"We fell into his trap!" Wenger said angrily.

"Snare?" Pat Rice was startled.

Wenger nodded, "Look, this guy is a wolf at the beginning, and then he will be a turtle."

Wolf? Turtle?

Pat Rice was completely confused.

But he quickly understood.

…………

…………

Just ten minutes into the game, Chelsea scored two goals in a row, and had an unprecedented and excellent start.

But if the start was amazing, then the next change was also surprising, because after Gao Han scored the second goal, he asked to tighten his defense and retreat across the board.

Especially the midfielders of Deco, Parker and Perron are firmly stationed in front of the team's defense line, leaving the entire frontcourt to the Trident for free play, and Ronaldinho looks more like a midfielder.

Arsenal is good at defensive counterattacks. When Chelsea retreats, the Gunners' best offensive method is completely invalid.

Henry was once again imprisoned by Chelsea's defensive cage. Although he was still active and had a large range of activities, he failed to create many threats.

Borgkamp acted as the No. 9 and a half, hoping to connect the midfield and the front line, but he was alone and could not speak out.

Wenger hopes he can actively retreat, pull out Garras, and create space for Henry to insert into the penalty area, but in Chelsea's compact defensive formation, it is difficult for Borgkamp to create opportunities.

Not to mention him, even Pire and Lyonberg on the wing will find it difficult to break Chelsea's defense.

Seeing that he failed to break through Chelsea's defense in the whole first half, Wenger made adjustments during the break. In the second half, he strengthened the team's attack and inserted it into the attack. Vieira and Edu, who came on the bench, frequently got long shots.

But Van der Sar was quite steady in front of the goal and saved the ball many times.

Especially when the game reached the 55th minute, Pire made a cross from the left and Henry scored a shot from the front. At the critical moment, Van der Sar blocked Henry's shot with his body, causing the Arsenal leader to fail to score a goal in the whole game.

Facing Chelsea's iron wall, Arsenal's attack returned in vain time and time again.

But after 60 minutes in the second half, Chelsea began to turn around the situation, especially the counterattack, and performed quite sharply.

Ronaldinho scored the ball in the middle, frequently creating threats, and almost assisted Ibrahimovic to score again, but the Swedish center hit Lehman's single shot, missing a goal.

The final game ended 2-0, and Chelsea defeated Arsenal again!

…………

"Yes, I said before the game that we need to win this game because it's very important to us."

"Beating Arsenal brings us one step closer to the league championship."

"Although there are a lot of people who are optimistic about us, everything is likely to happen before we finally get it. I don't want the championship trophy to slip through our fingers, so, I told my players that we have to win."

Speaking of this, Gao Han, who was sitting side by side with Wenger, looked at the reporters in front of the main podium with a smile.

"The game process was very tense, we had a perfect start, and Samuel's performance tonight made me believe once again that he would be a great striker, and I wouldn't doubt this before, now and then."

"Maybe it's because we have a psychological advantage when playing against Arsenal, because we beat them at Highbury this season, so even though Arsenal caused us a lot of trouble during the game, we still played very patiently. I think this has played a key role in the game."

"No doubt, once again defeating Arsenal, we further expanded the lead, which puts us in a very ideal position, but the league is not over yet."

Wenger sat aside from beginning to end, listening to Gao Han talking and talking about his views on the game, and he was so angry that he had the urge to tear his opponent.

What does it mean to have psychological advantages?

Is it just a loss this season?

Why don’t you think about it? Chelsea has been a defeated player of Arsenal in the past decade?

I only won two games this season, as for showing off like that?

It's so fucking nouveau riche!

Therefore, when it was the reporter's turn to ask questions, Wenger spoke and said that he supported the team, believing that although Chelsea had an amazing lead and the hope of Arsenal's reversal was slim, the team would never give up until the last moment.

"From now on, we must be mentally prepared for the finals in every game. I believe that the opponent will make mistakes, and we must seize every opportunity to shorten the gap. The battle for the league championship is far from over."

Regarding this game, Wenger said that Chelsea won by defense.

"Yes, the opponent's defense is very strong, and there are always seven or eight players gathering in the penalty area, which has caused trouble for our offense, but no matter what, I'm very satisfied with the performance of our players, and they have put their best."

But Gao Han quickly refuted.

"I don't understand what Mr. Wenger means. We created fourteen shots, six right shots, eleven corner kicks, nine free kicks in the frontcourt, four offsides. Each of them is better than Arsenal, but why does he think we win by defense?"

Gao Han's rebuttal is reasonable and well-founded, because judging from the number of shots, Arsenal did lose to Chelsea. He only had eight shots in the game, but five shots were directed, which was much more efficient than Chelsea. However, Van dersar performed well and once again defended his league record of not conceding goals.

"The only thing Arsenal is better than us is their fouls, twenty-one fouls in the game, four yellow cards, I can't believe it's a team that emphasizes skills, and I don't know where Mr. Wenger got the courage to say that they performed better than us."

Wenger replied to Gao Han’s on-the-spot rebuttal, data does not represent everything.

In fact, Arsenal plays very dirty, which is obvious to all in the Premier League and is well-known.

Even though they won the league championship in the 01 to 2 seasons at their peak, their fouls were won in the Premier League, which shows that the style of this team has never been too clean.

The same is true when facing Chelsea in this game.

Being able to defeat the city's mortal enemy, Gao Han takes a step further from the Premier League championship, but he is also trying to avoid being complacent.

But when a media reporter asked about the many remarks about Chelsea's about to lose from the outside world, Gao Han sneered.

"I am not familiar with media reporters personally, but I'm very surprised that we have been winning so far this season and the game is getting better and better, but why is the news about how we are about to finish the game getting more and more intense?"

Faced with Gao Han's questioning, many media reporters below couldn't help laughing.

Everyone knows what's going on, but no one can say it.

"Okay, you win. If you ask me if I will lose, then I will tell you that we will definitely lose!"

All the reporters below were immediately excited.

Gao Han laughed and changed his mind, "...but I don't know when!"

The reporters directly ignored his next sentence because the readers' focus was on the previous sentence.

They probably even thought of the title.

Gao Han was dissatisfied with winning and said that the team would lose.
