The expected first-place battle like Mars hitting the earth did not occur. Instead, the visiting team Arsenal almost formed an absolute suppression of Chelsea.
At the end of the first half, Arsenal returned to the dressing room with a two-goal advantage.
"This game is indeed very surprising. Chelsea is playing at home and is being beaten by Arsenal. I don't think you need to look at the statistics of the first half. All the fans watching the game know how big Arsenal's advantage is! Even A two-goal lead was not enough to show Arsenal's dominance on the pitch!"
"The ball possession rate is almost 73. In terms of shooting data comparison, Arsenal shot 13 times, 7 of which were within the goal frame! And Chelsea only had 3 shots on goal."
"Arsenal's defense is very solid, and the offense looks quite sharp. Yello plays a key role in this, and his range of activities is wider."
But after the whistle sounded at the end of the first half.
Almost all commentators and football experts are analyzing the first half of the game.
Before the game, almost everyone thought it would be a finals-level battle.
Not to mention that the two sides are evenly matched, they will at least be entangled for a while.
And now Chelsea looks like they are about to be beaten by Arsenal and surrender.
Their offense was weak and their defense struggled.
The first half was almost like a showdown between a relegation team and a championship contender.
Can Arsenal really be this strong?
"This is all because of Yello! The reason why Arsenal's defense is solid is that they put three players in front of the defense for protection, and Arsenal's confidence not to deploy more personnel on the offensive end comes from Yello. Yelo Lowe played a big role on the offensive end!”
Sky Sports TV commentator and England star Lineker is analyzing.
Many fans who were watching the game pricked up their ears to listen, because the situation in the first half surprised many fans.
Arsenal actually suppressed Chelsea in the away game!
Why is Arsenal so strong?
Now when I hear football experts like Lineker say it, everyone has an expression of "What he said makes sense, that should be it."
"Yeluo's personal ability is too strong, which gives Wenger the confidence to play offensive football while playing in the back three! Yeluo was the player who touched the ball the most in the first half. He touched the ball as many as Sixty-seven times, this number of touches in half-time can be said to be quite exaggerated. This also proves the success of Arsenal's tactics. In theory, Chelsea can contain Arsenal as long as they can pinch Yello. offense, but we all know how difficult it is to do that."
"It can be said that Arsenal are bullying Chelsea now. No one can freeze Ye Luo. They just rely entirely on Ye Luo's strong personal ability to play. This is a conspiracy. Everyone knows where the weaknesses of this style of play are, but it just happened. Arsenal's "weakness" is also their strongest point!"
"It can be said that Arsenal's tactics cannot be copied by other teams, because the only reason for the success of this tactic is Yello's strong personal ability. It is impossible for other teams to draw someone in the frontcourt attack line. Under such circumstances, he can still attack with so many threats."
These commentators and football experts talk and talk.
To sum it up, it can be summed up in one sentence: Ye Luo is awesome.
In North London, those fans who were not able to go to Stamford Bridge with the team could not help but clink their glasses excitedly when they heard the commentator praising Yello.
"Long live! Ye Luo!"
Everyone cheered together.
As Yelo's dominance on the court was fully demonstrated, his status in the team and in the hearts of the fans also skyrocketed!
He is the hero who leads Arsenal to revival!
Benitez certainly knows where the key to Arsenal's tactics lies.
But the problem is, everyone knows this, but you just can’t do it.
Freeze Yello?
Who has ever done it?
Just thinking about it gives me a headache.
Benitez could have played against Arsenal, but now they have three midfielders here. Are you looking for death against Arsenal?
After thinking about it, Benitez decided to find a way on Yeluo.
"We can't let them have a smooth offense!"
Benitez's thoughts gradually became clearer as he spoke.
"Cut the connection between Yello and other Arsenal players. Once he wants to get the ball, foul him immediately!"
"We need to attack from the wing, strengthen crosses and long-range shots, and create more positioning. We can use positioning balls to chase points!"
What Benitez said is actually the routine used by mid- and lower-tier teams to deal with teams at the top of the rankings.
Arsenal forced Chelsea, the mighty Premier League giant, to use the same methods as mid- and lower-tier teams against upper-tier teams to deal with Arsenal. This shows the pressure Arsenal put on them in the first half.
Strengthen physical confrontation, more fouls, cutting play, crosses, long shots, set pieces.
These are the magic weapons for small teams to overturn big teams.
After the start of the second half, people discovered that Chelsea also began to use these routines.
Their movements began to become louder, actively pursuing physical confrontation and fouling, interrupting the flow of the game.
They didn't necessarily foul Yello, but also other Arsenal players.
Anyway, their purpose is to cut the game into pieces and prevent Arsenal from making smooth continuous passes and disrupting Arsenal's offensive rhythm.
Fifty minutes into the game.
Ramirez tackled Cazorla directly, causing a fierce conflict between players from both sides.
Players on both sides huddled together.
Until now, the intensity of this game has become a bit like a battle for the top spot.
The referee did not take out Ramirez's card, which made Wenger on the sidelines quite unhappy.
The fact that such a foul did not result in a yellow card also encouraged Chelsea's players. Facing Arsenal's attack, their actions became more and more aggressive.
In the 53rd minute of the game, as soon as Yelo received the ball, Mikel almost did a hug and throw in a wrestling match - because everyone knew that Yelo could not be knocked down by ordinary methods.
This foul finally caused the referee to take out a yellow card.
But Wenger on the sidelines was even more unhappy.
"Red card! This is a red card move!!!"
"Hey! Hey!! Do you think you're the referee of a wrestling match?"
Wenger's roar earned him a yellow card, but the old man kept talking when he returned to the dugout.
Because he saw the threat that Chelsea's approach posed to Arsenal.
This is the mentality that goes into Arsenal.
But Ye Luo was very calm.
It's just a tactical foul, he's seen it a lot.
And if the opponent thinks that they can stop themselves by fouling, that is really a bit too naive.
Now Benitez uses this trick to deal with himself.
That can only explain one point.
Chelsea are at their wits end.
"For Mikel's foul, the referee finally showed a yellow card. Arsenal won a free kick about 35-6 meters away from the goal. Although the distance of this free kick was a little far, it was still in Yelo What’s the shooting range!”
Duan Xuan's voice sounded.
The Dragon Country fans in front of the TV were a little nervous. The environment of the Premier League is like this, and sometimes such big-movement physical confrontations are very encouraged.
Mikel's hug might have gotten him a red card in other leagues.
Here, it’s just a yellow card.
Such a league environment is very unfriendly to some technical players, and will also lead to increased injury pressure on Premier League players.
Cech was a little nervous. It stands to reason that he is already an experienced goalkeeper who has seen many battles.
But he still felt a little unsure when facing Ye Luo.
Yelo has already scored a goal with his head and assisted a goal. At the same time, he has tested Cech's saving ability again and again.
Cech is very clear about Yello's shooting foot.
This is the second time in this game that Yelo has stood in front of the ball and taken a free kick.
Although Cech saved the last free kick.
But it also made Cech break into a cold sweat.
And this time the position is almost the same. If the last time was about adjusting the sight, then this time the angle will be even more tricky!
Chelsea's wall is huge.
Terry, Lewis, Ivanovic, Torres and other tall players are all setting up walls.
Faced with a long-range free kick that is more than 35 meters away, setting up four tall human walls is considered very important.
The players inside the wall were also nervous.
Everyone protected their vital parts.
Ye Luo began to measure his steps backwards. When the referee saw that everyone was ready, he blew the whistle.
"Ye Luo takes a run and shoots!!"
After the ball's route came out, almost all commentators couldn't help but start to accumulate strength.
Under everyone's horrified gaze, the football soared into the sky, then fell quickly after jumping over the wall!
Cech seemed to have been cast by a restraining spell, frozen in place, and then watched helplessly as the football fell into the goal from the tenth corner to his left!
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!"
"Elevator ball! Beautiful!!"
"Three to zero! Arsenal seals the victory!!"
"Cech barely made any reaction. The quality of this free kick was too high!!"
While the commentator's seat was boiling.
The entire Stamford Bridge stadium seemed like a fire extinguished by cold water.
All the Chelsea fans looked at the football in the goal in disbelief.
The speed of the ball was so fast that many people found that the football had entered the net in the blink of an eye.
Cech looked helplessly at the goal behind him. He had already made a judgment and wanted to pounce to his right, but just as he was about to exert his force, he found that the football suddenly turned to his left in the air. When he wanted to When reacting, he must use all his strength to fight against his center of gravity, which is tilting to the right. During this fight, he seems to be frozen in place.
It's not that he didn't react, but that Ye Luo's ball was too fast and the line was too erratic.
Even Cech couldn't make a save.
Many Chelsea players looked confused.
That guy from Arsenal is really terrible.
He seems unstoppable no matter what
They are going to lose this crucial battle for the top spot!
Chelsea's players were very reluctant, but they had to admit it.
Three goals behind, they had no hope of coming back.
Under the shadow of failure.
Some Chelsea players are confused, and some Chelsea players are panicked.
But there were also angry, furious Chelsea players.
The direct manifestation of anger is that Chelsea's fouls have become more frequent, more frequent, and bigger. The referee on duty has to turn into a card master, and yellow cards are frequently shown.
Wenger off the field looked very frightened.
Because many of Chelsea's fouls were directed at Yello.
When other Arsenal players are injured, he can find replacement players.
Only Ye Luo is irreplaceable.
If Yello is injured, Arsenal will be finished.
Don't even think about competing for the championship or anything like that.
What results Arsenal can achieve this season depends on how healthy Ye Luo can be.
Arsenal fans are also praying that Captain Ye will always be healthy.
Even Wenger pulled Yello to ask him if he wanted to be substituted when the ball was dead.
Ye Luo refused.
He's not afraid of fouls.
And he also has to compete with Chelsea.
Originally, he could have taken a three-goal lead and shut it down as soon as possible, giving the home team some face.
But the opponent's foul also angered him. If you don't want face, then I won't give it to you!
So it was in the 73rd minute of the game.
Yello scored his third goal of the game and Arsenal's fourth.
Ivanovic wanted to commit a foul, but failed to hold Yello. After Yello broke free, he dribbled the ball into the penalty area, cut inside and passed Terry before shooting directly!
The football flew into the goal just off the lower edge of the crossbar.
Cech was motionless this time, and he really didn't react this time - the distance was too close, the ball speed was too fast, and Yelo made a fake move to shake him before shooting, so Cech really didn't react. way to react.
This conceded goal completely extinguished the fighting spirit of Chelsea's players.
Benitez sat on the coaching bench slumped on the sidelines.
He lost this game without any temper at all.
Four goals down and the game was over.
For Chelsea, the only thing they hope for is to score a goal at home, avoid being shaved off, give some explanation to the home fans, and save some face.
But the result.
In the final moments of the game, Arsenal firmly controlled the situation of the game.
Yelo returned to the midfield, moved in a wide range, and controlled the rhythm of the game through passing.
If Chelsea doesn't come up to grab it, he can lead Arsenal to keep the ball until the end of the game.
If you come up and grab it.
Then pass the ball forward and push Chelsea back!
At this pace.
Chelsea simply gave up at the end of the game.
There are three minutes of injury time.
As a result, with about thirty seconds left before the 93rd minute, the referee mercifully blew the whistle to end the game, letting the Chelsea players who were suffering on the court breathe a huge sigh of relief.
Wenger breathed a sigh of relief after the whistle sounded at the end of the game. He was even more relieved to see Ye Luo still alive and kicking and celebrating with his teammates.
Then he straightened his collar, zipped up his zipper, and took the initiative to shake hands with Benitez with a smile on his face.
Benitez was convinced anyway.
After losing this game, he really had nothing to complain about.
Seeing Wenger arriving, he stretched out his hand and then said with a wry smile: "Mr. Wenger, I didn't expect you to change formations in this game. Have you considered... What if your adventure fails?"
"Failure? I don't think about that, and you don't worry about that if you have a player like that."
Wenger said proudly.
Benitez is helpless.
He knew that the old man in front of him was just showing off, but he had the capital to show off.
He looked at Arsenal's No. 10 on the field, filled with envy and hatred.
If I had such a player, I could bring you back any triple crown or seven crowns!
