Chapter 266: Duel with the Gunman

Derby matches are never short of intense action.

The "popular" Arsenal team is a veteran and strong team and has no reason to back down. They turned against the visitors as soon as they started.

Facing the "Blue Army" Chelsea at home, he actively attacks. Yes, beautiful offense is always the signature of the "popular" Arsenal. This is why he can attract the attention of so many fans around the world. .

Coincidentally, the "Blue Army" Chelsea is famous for its "defense". All previous coaches, no matter who they are, have focused on improving defense.

The contest between contradictions is enough to attract attention.

Since the beginning, the "hot" Arsenal has been very proactive and has no problem with offensive coordination. Their biggest weakness is the weakness of the midfield and backcourt.

Xhaka and Torreira are all masters of tricks. If you think they are good at it, they will dare to throw away any chain for you. When you think they are not good at it, they will still come up with some dazzling tricks.

The summary is that players whose bodies cannot keep up with their brains!

As for the defense, not to mention, it is not at the same level as the invincible Arsenal team back then.

However, fortunately, in this game, Arsenal entered the state very quickly. Only seven minutes into the game, Zall's pass with a fried ball in the front of the penalty area exceeded everyone's expectations and threw away the midfielder. Defensively, an extremely concealed through ball was passed to center Lacazette who inserted it diagonally. The latter took advantage of the situation and volleyed, helping Arsenal take the lead in the score.

When the entire offense is coordinated, it can be described as "silky" in one word.

Every pass and run is just right. With this cooperation, the defense that Chelsea has always relied on for survival is full of loopholes.

The entire Stamford Bridge fell into silence because of this conceded goal.

The Arsenal team, which took the lead on the score, did not retreat to defense, attack, attack or attack.

Aubameyang's quasi-one-on-one opportunity was destroyed by Mendy, and Chelsea escaped.

With the goal in danger, Chelsea responded quickly. Mount's long pass from the center found Werner on the forward line. The latter used his speed to get away after trembling with Arsenal center back David Luiz. The opponent had a one-on-one opportunity, but unfortunately the ball was too straight and hit Arsenal goalkeeper Cech directly.

Missed this opportunity? I can't see it!

There was a sigh at Stamford Bridge. This was a better chance than Arsenal's chance to score.

Another happy boy?

At this time, Chelsea fans have begun to experience the "happiness" of Manchester City fans.

After changing sides and fighting again, Werner once again found a shooting opportunity. He turned around in an extremely advanced way and wiped out the defender. He raised his leg in the small penalty area and hit the goal. As a result, he shot a cannon into the sky.

Wang Po on the bench was stunned by Werner's shot, and Tuchel in front of him was even more frantic and punching the ground with his fists.

Wasted opportunities are punishable.

Here Aubameyang once again showed his terrifying speed. He forced an overtake on the wing, cut inside along the line of the penalty area, and made a curve ball that made Mendy sigh.

It was 0 to 2, and the game had only started for 30 minutes. This result was unexpected by countless Chelsea fans. They were on the verge of breaking out due to the team's poor performance.

After losing the ball, Chelsea's players became a little confused and their passing errors began to increase. For a time, the situation was completely controlled by Arsenal.

Near the end of the half, Werner once again got a good chance to score. The two-point ball in the penalty area fell at his feet and hit the goal. This time, the goalpost once again rejected his ball.

"Oh, no."

Chelsea fans held their heads in "pain" one by one and roared unwillingly. They were helpless and helpless.

Halftime came and the online media was flooded with tributes to Werner.

"Is this worth so much money?"

"This colored pen."

"It seems that Chelsea will also follow Manchester City's approach to happy football in the future."

"It was 0-2 at halftime, which made Arsenal beat them all over the place. Are you sure I didn't go through the Arsenal team coached by Wenger?"

"Kick that German out quickly, I tui."

…

Werner's repeated waste of opportunities made Chelsea fans intolerable, and all kinds of doubts arose.

Tuchel is also quite helpless. In fact, judging from the performance in the first half, there is actually not much problem on the offensive end. After all, Werner got many good opportunities to score goals. If the ball cannot be scored, then he is not a coach. There was a problem with the tactical design, but the problem on the defensive line was not obvious. The opponent was allowed to pass the ball calmly several times, and as a result, two goals were conceded.

"Strengthen the restrictions on ball carriers, give them more physical strength, and engage in more confrontation. It's too easy for you to let them pass the ball..."

Tuchel has repeatedly emphasized the defensive arrangement of key players.

"Po, go warm up and get ready to go on stage."

…

At the beginning of the second half, Wang Po had already changed his equipment and was ready to start his first performance of his Chelsea career.

Substitute Jorginho.

Come, come, come out after thousands of calls, everyone stand up.

World Player of the Year, the core player of two consecutive three-time champions, Wang Po finally appeared on the stage wearing a Chelsea jersey, and his Chelsea jersey number was also revealed. It was left by the Belgian, symbolizing the core of the core. Player number 10.

Before, whether it was Benfica, Dortmund, or Ajax, they all wanted him to wear the No. 10 jersey, but at that time Wang Po thought he was not the strongest and was not worthy of the No. 10 jersey. Now, the No. 10 jersey has finally found its owner.

The thunderous applause lasted for a long time.

For Arsenal, this is not good news, which means that the team will experience a real storm from now on.

Taking both offense and defense into consideration, this is the task that Tuchel asked Wang Po to partner with Kante in the midfield.

Of course, with Kante behind him, Wang Po can rest assured and participate in the offense as he pleases.

"Hey, I didn't expect that we really became teammates."

Just like the first time the two met, Kante was as shy as ever, baring his big white teeth and speaking carefully.

"The gap behind me depends on you."

Wang Po said with a faint smile.

Kante smiled and made an "ok" gesture.

"Beep"

With a whistle, the second half of the game began.

With Wang Po in the midfield and Kante sweeping behind him, Chelsea took back the ball from Arsenal.

Torreira and Xhaka faced Wang Po and Kante, and they were far apart in both ability and value. It was no surprise that they were completely defeated in a direct dialogue.

Facing Wang Po holding the ball, Xhaka wanted to compete with this hot shot in football. He didn't believe in evil and went to defend. He made up his mind that even if he was passed, he would give you a hard foul to teach you a lesson.
