Chapter 553: Exploding Maicon(1/2)
Piao Tianwen In last year's league, Arsenal's record against Chelsea was one win and one draw and remained unbeaten.
Among them, in the away game, with Van Persie's hat-trick, Arsenal reversed and defeated Boas' Chelsea 5:3, winning a classic victory.
Now, with the title of European champion and Yu Yong, who was unbeaten in the five-round league, Chelsea made a comeback and will definitely avenge the crushing defeat last season.
In this game, Dimateo sent all the main players.
Torres, Mata, Essin, Asley Cole, Cech and other stars have appeared.
In addition, there are Lille star Aiden Hazard, who they spent a lot of money to introduce this season, as well as former world number one right defender Douglas Macon, who was introduced from Inter Milan Club.
They only have one goal for this game: win.
With Manchester United winning streaks, they hope to use a victory to hold on to Manchester United so that they will not be eliminated early in the league championship battle.
Chelsea wants to win, but Arsenal can't afford to lose.
The Gunners lost two games after only five rounds of the league. If they lost again, they would lose three games.
You should know that in last year's league, the two Manchester Super League players only lost 3 games throughout the season. If you want to compete with them for the championship, if you lose 3 games now, what else can you compete for? Just admit defeat.
Therefore, for this game, Arsenal's goal is to score three points!
In this game, Arsenal head coach Wenger continued his 433 formation. However, he made some minor adjustments in terms of appearances.
Arteta and Gervinho, who performed well in the last game, returned to the main lineup, and Van Persie returned to the center position.
In addition, Gibbs rotated Santos and appeared at the left back position.
Players in other positions have basically not changed.
Before the game started, Chu Jiang and Mai Kong stood shoulder to shoulder, talking and laughing.
In the schedule of the Serie A, these two stars have played against each other a lot and are quite familiar with each other before. Now they meet in the Premier League, which is considered to be meeting old friends in a foreign land.
However, there is a good atmosphere only before the game.
When the whistle sounded, both sides were their own leaders and would not be polite to each other.
At the beginning of the game, both teams showed their determination to win the opponent, and the offensive pace was very fast. Both sides also dared to invest a large amount of troops in the offense.
In this way, the exciting scenes of the game are naturally endless, and both of them have some opportunities to shoot.
In the 5th minute, Arteta dribbled the ball at the front of Chelsea's penalty area.
After a fake shot and shaking the angle, the Spaniard raised his leg and shot, and the football rushed straight to Chelsea's goal.
Cech was prepared for this. He fell to the ground and flew to the side, pressing Arteta's shot under him.
One minute later, Chelsea retaliated against Arsenal's attack.
This season, their newcomer Aiden Hazard dribbled the ball and broke through, suddenly started quickly, and inserted into the penetration and tangent into Arsenal's penalty area.
In the penalty area, Hazard fell to the ground after colliding with Gibbs.
Then, Chu Jiang easily got the football.
Chelsea players signaled for a foul and asked the referee Howard Webber to award a penalty.
However, Weber just curled his lips and ignored the Chelsea people's complaints.
Chu Jiang walked to Hazard with the ball in his arms and shook his finger at him.
"If you are a man, get up quickly and stop acting!"
Chu Jiang mocked.
Chu Jiang launched a psychological war on Hazard, trying to put psychological pressure on his opponent.
However, Hazard ignored him, and did not argue with him. He stood up with his head down, turned around and ran back to his own game.
Hazard has been very fast in integrating into Chelsea this season. The car was able to achieve a good record of 4 wins and 1 draw in the first five rounds, thanks to the outstanding performance of the Belgian star in the game.
In 5 games, Hazard has handed in an excellent report card with 1 goal and 3 assists.
At the end of the first two rounds of the game, the media called Chu Jiang and Hazard the two post-90s players who performed the best in the Premier League this season.
Later, Chu Jiang's condition fluctuated. The media began to belittle him and continued to praise Hazard.
For example, this game is also the first time that these two Premier League newcomers have met in the Premier League.
Who is the best signing of the year?
I believe that through this competition, people will have a more intuitive impression.
In the 10th minute, Maikong made a cross along the right road, with a flat arc, fast speed, tricky landing points, and quite threatening.
The only regret is that Torres started one step slower and missed the opportunity to compete for a header. If he grabs the landing point of this ball, it will definitely pose a great threat to the goal guarded by Chu Jiang.
After watching the football draw the sideline with regret, Torres turned around and gave Macon a thumbs up, praising him for his good pass.
Although Macon is old, his technical skills are still there. If he is allowed to pass freely, it will definitely pose a great threat to Arsenal's goal.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of his opponent's sideline, Chu Jiang quickly called Willsheer over and told him to help Gibbs defend when Macon was inserted. Gibbs alone, he wanted to keep a guard against Macon and Mata, which was definitely unrealistic.
In addition, Chu Jiang also asked Willsheer to inform Gervinho and Van Persie, asking them to put more pressure on Macon during the attack.
Maikon was a typical channel player at his peak, commonly known as a one-stop on the wing. He can take it all whether it is offense or defense.
But that was before.
Maikong may still have a technical foundation, but his physical fitness can no longer keep up.
Moreover, as he gets older, he likes to assist more and more, but sometimes he forgets his defensive position.
When he was in Inter Milan, with Zanetti, a right-back defensive player, making up for him, Macon's defensive flaws may not be exposed very clearly.
However, after transferring to Chelsea, there may not be someone who will specifically protect Macon.
Dimateo must know the characteristics of Macon and will definitely send someone to help Macon defend. However, Macon has not been able to work with the new team for a long time, and the players who assist in defense will definitely not be as tacit as Zanetti.
Therefore, Chu Jiang's idea is very simple, which is to beat Maicon and Chelsea on the right after assisting. At least, Maicon cannot be so arrogant to assist in forwards.
Because he is very clear about Maikong's characteristics, Chu Jiang commands his teammates like this on the spot, and his command soon achieved results.
In the 13th minute, Maikon once again intervened in the assist.
This time, Chu Jiang quickly directed his teammates' position and loaned Maikon's passing route.
When the position of the contact point was not ideal, Maikon habitually chose a long shot. Let's try his luck.
In Serie A, Macon often does this and occasionally gets some world-style goals. In the Milan derby last season, he broke through the Milan gate guarded by Amelia.
Chu Jiang was prepared for this.
With his homework done in advance and his excellent prediction and positioning ability, Chu Jiang stood in advance very calmly and easily hugged Mai Kong's powerful long-range shot.
Then Chu Jiang didn't think so. He directly chose to kick off with big feet.
The direction is Chelsea's right left after Macon assists!
"Gervinho!"
Chu Jiang shouted, reminding his teammates to run away quickly.
But it was so far apart that Gervinho might not be able to hear clearly what Jiang was calling. However, with the tacit understanding established during training, Gervinho knew what Chu Jiang was going to do as soon as he saw Chu Jiang's actions.
Counterattack!
Right, it’s a quick counterattack!
With the ball stopped in his chest, Gervinho took off Chu Jiang's accurate long pass. Then he strode, quickly lifted the speed, and accelerated toward Chelsea's backcourt.
Essin quickly came forward and prepared to stop Gervinho.
During the high-speed dribbling, Gervinho tried several changes in the line, but failed to completely get rid of Essin.
However, despite no success, Essin was also exhausted by the young Gervinho.
If it was Essin at his peak, he would naturally be able to take advantage of a fool like Gervinho. However, the buffalo is no longer as brave as he used to be. He was shaken several times by Gervinho, and his pace became a little disordered.
Seeing that Essin Gervinho could not get rid of his teammates, he simply summoned his teammates to help.
When he was rushing forward at high speed, Van Persie and Walcott were one in the middle and the other on the right, and they were already rushing forward at high speed, no slower than Gervinho.
Gervinho immediately stopped immediately after buckled his right foot.
Essin did not react in time and took two more steps back.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gervinho observed his teammate's running position and then chose to pass the ball.
"Look at Van Persie!"
Cech quickly shouted, reminding his teammates to be careful of the most threatening figures on the opponent's forward line.
Hearing the goalkeeper's words, Gary Cahill quickly approached Van Persie to prevent him from catching the ball.
Van Persie?
You are wrong!
Gervinho also knew that Van Persie was born to mock his face, so he passed the ball straight to the back point and passed it directly to Walcott!
Gervinho's pass was a little bit big, but this would not have any impact on Walcott, who was extremely fast.
To be continued...
