"But isn't Xiao Yu also a player of our China?"
"Currently, there is a big difference between the national football players and the European players in terms of the number of games played, regardless of the intensity of the competition."
"That's true. According to the national team playing in the Chinese Super League, even if they play in the AFC Champions League, they will only be able to attend about 40 games in a season. On the European side, according to Chelsea, there are 38 Premier League games, plus the Champions League, FA Cup, The League Cup and some other cup competitions can exceed 70 games."
"The difference between these 20 and 30 games is not a small number, not to mention the difference in the level and intensity of the competition is also huge."
"Currently, if we want to improve the level of our national football team, players traveling to Europe is one aspect, and the Football Association is also..."
"Hey, look, Nasri has passed."
Zhang Lu also quickly interrupted Zhan Jun's topic. Everyone knew some things, but it was difficult to say them out.
At the end of the first half, Chelsea, playing at home, temporarily led Arsenal 3:0 with Xiao Yu's brace and Drogba's wonderful goal.
Entering the player tunnel, Xiao Yu wanted to exchange jerseys with Arshavin, but was rejected. Xiao Yu also turned to Alexander Song. This black brother was also famous in Xiao Yu's previous life and could feed a village by himself.
The two happily exchanged jerseys and chatted for a few more words. The Cameroon international football team also praised Xiao Yu, saying that in the future, Cameroon's World Cup will have a strong opponent, the Chinese national football team.
Xiao Yu could only laugh it off.
"Everyone performed very well. In the second half, we need to continue to implement defensive counterattack tactics. It is best to score a few more and knock Arsenal out of the top four."
Ancelotti praised the players' performance in the first half in the locker room and also formulated a strategy to continue defensive counterattacks in the second half.
On the other hand, in the Arsenal dressing room, Arshavin continued to blame the midfielder for conceding several goals.
Fortunately, Wenger showed up in time, otherwise there might have been a full-scale showdown in the locker room.
Looking at today's group of players, Wenger couldn't help but miss the former "King of Highbury" and could only sigh.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Chelsea completed an attack from the kick-off. It was organized by Essien and handed over to Toni Kroos and De Bruyne. The last kick went through to find Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu was in front of Koscielny. Under the interference, he completed the cut and shot, but unfortunately the ball missed the goal frame.
In the following time, Arsenal's midfield and backcourt strengthened their control of the ball. Although they were already 3 goals behind, they seemed in no hurry to equalize the score quickly.
In the 55th minute, Arsenal's tactical corner kick came to the goal. BYD removed the ball from his chest in the penalty area and volleyed from a small angle. After the ball was blocked, it rubbed the post and went out of the baseline.
In the 58th minute, Toni Kroos tackled Chamark and fell to the ground in the penalty area, and the referee signaled for the game to continue.
In the 60th minute, Squillaci was playing with fire in the backcourt and was intercepted. Anelka entered the penalty area and passed Fabianski before hitting an empty goal from a small angle. The ball actually hit the side net.
Xiao Yu, who was already unguarded on the left, could only hold his head helplessly, regretting that he missed the opportunity.
If Anelka passes this ball to Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu will most likely perform a hat trick.
However, there are no ifs on the court.
It seemed that Professor Wenger's tactical adjustments during the halftime break had an effect. Arsenal's ball possession rate increased significantly after the start of the second half.
In the 63rd minute, Arsenal got a free kick opportunity on the right side of the penalty area. Nasri gave the free kick to the goal. Clichy got the ball outside the penalty area and faked to get rid of the defense and volleyed hard. Unfortunately, the ball still missed the goal.
In the 65th minute, Xiao Yu got the ball in the midfield and immediately accelerated his breakthrough. Arshavin quickly chased back and intercepted Xiao Yu's pace with a tackle.
Referee Dean whistled Arshavin for a foul and showed him a yellow card.
In the 67th minute, Xiao Yu got the ball again, passed Sagna in front of the penalty area, and was about to receive an inward shot. Koscielny chose to sacrifice his life and make a tackle. Although he knocked down the football, the pull on his hand was The action was still noticed by the referee, who also received a yellow card as a warning.
In the 68th minute, Toni Cross passed the ball to the left.
Xiao Yu was about to catch the ball and launch an attack, but suddenly, his body seemed to be forcibly dragged by an invisible force. He lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Only then did Xiao Yu see that it was Diaby who knocked him down before he even caught the ball.
The moment Xiao Yu fell to the ground, Chelsea players immediately gathered around him. They were dissatisfied with Xiao Yu's fall and thought it was a flagrant foul by Diaby.
The Arsenal players also stepped forward. They defended Xiao Yu, believing that this was part of the game and that Diaby had no ill intentions.
Members of the two teams started pushing each other and arguing.
As the captain on the field, Terry is a well-known tough guy. His eyes flashed with anger and he grabbed Diaby.
The players of both teams were excited for this sudden conflict.
The referee hurriedly stepped forward to try to calm the conflict.
He showed yellow cards to Diaby and Terry respectively, warning them that if there was any further conflict, they would be punished more severely.
Terry, who is Chelsea's captain on the field, stared at the referee with his eyes wide open, seemingly in disbelief.
Arshavin, who guest-starred as Arsenal captain today, said he accepted the referee's decision.
With the referee's warning, the players of both teams gradually calmed down.
They got back into the game, forgetting about the conflict.
However, this game has been deeply imprinted in their hearts.
Xiao Yu stood up with the support of his teammates. He looked at Diaby with a firm light in his eyes, as if to say: Boy, wait for me.
Perhaps knowing what Xiao Yu had done to Ryan Taylor before, Wenger did not give Xiao Yu a chance to take revenge.
In the 70th minute, Arsenal made substitution adjustments. Wenger replaced Diaby with Rosicky. On the one hand, he quickly replaced the irrational Diaby to calm down, and on the other hand, he also continued to strengthen the control of the midfield.
In the 72nd minute, Arsenal intercepted the ball in the midfield and counterattacked, Nasri scored the ball, and Alexander Song missed the 27-meter long shot from the goal.
Seeing Xiao Yu being violated constantly on the court, Ancelotti also made changes.
In the 73rd minute, Chelsea made a substitution adjustment and Ancelotti replaced Xiao Yu with Malouda.
In the 74th minute, Rosicky and Klich cooperated, and Rosicky's shot in front of the penalty area was blocked.
In the 75th minute, Chelsea made a pass from the right. Anelka's volley into the penalty area was blocked by Fabianski. Drogba, who outflanked the goal and hit the empty goal, failed to touch the ball.
In the 80th minute, Chamakh's header went wide.
In the 82nd minute, Chelsea made substitution adjustments and Azpilicueta replaced Ivanovic.
