Chapter 63 Ignite the cold shot
The day before the 4th game, the weather in London was particularly cold, with some scattered snowflakes occasionally. When Di Mateo saw this situation, he arranged for the team to conduct a special extra training. What if it snows during the game? You should know that adding snow at night is not just a matter of coldness, but a test of the players' sight.
On the day of the game, the sky above London was still gloomy. Such weather was the one that the players disliked the most. Stamford Bridge staff also kept sorting out the stadium to ensure that their players would not make a fool of themselves. Di Matteo did not arrange for the training that day. You should know that injury before the game is undoubtedly the most detrimental thing.
Generally, the game emphasizes the right time, place and people. At present, the right time and place are similar for the two teams. In terms of personnel configuration, Arsenal's condition has been good recently, and the two teams are half a dozen, so this game is undoubtedly a bit evenly matched. The key is to see who did better on the spot.
Astor was fully prepared in the commentary seat, but he looked at the sparse snow spots and said with concern, "The game has not started yet, but the weather in London today is indeed not very good. I don't know if such weather has a great impact on the players of the two teams. I hope I don't see a game full of mistakes."
"I believe our fans are most concerned about Qin. Although the last league was suspended due to red cards, Qin should have appeared in the starting lineup in this game. But I am also a little worried that such slippery turf will have a greater impact on a technical player like him, which will lead to his inability to perform more comprehensively."
Astor's worries are also Di Matteo's worries, but Qin Tian himself has nothing to worry about. After all, he grew up in Nordic Europe since he was a child. It's not the first time he played football in the snow. It's just that it's a competitive game now, and the intensity is greater than before. It's just that the cold weather like London is really not very good at sensoryness.
At the beginning of the game, Chelsea's left player Maluda made a mistake in stopping the ball. After being intercepted directly from Arsenal on the right, he quickly advanced forward. Before the Chelsea defenders came back to their senses, (0 had quickly transferred the ball to the feet of forward Van Persie. Then the ball hit Chelsea's goal like a hail in winter. Fortunately, Cech was very focused, and fortunately he was an Eastern European, who successfully resolved the danger this time.
"Well, Arsenal players seem to be getting into the state faster. Chelsea must adjust their state as soon as possible, and there are more such low-level mistakes. Even if Cech has eight hands, he will not be able to successfully resolve the danger so low every time." Astor frowned, and the comparison of the state between the two teams made him a little worried.
Dimateo also felt something was wrong on the sidelines. The situation was different than he imagined. It was a team in the same place. It seemed that the opponent was more prepared. After looking at the "professor" who was obviously much older, Dimateo still sincerely admired such a meritorious coach.
"Don't use too many short passes, just lift the ball to the front court to reduce the transition in the middle." Captain Terry loudly told the players that the veteran's experience is precious. "Although the opponent seems to be more adaptable, the slipperyness is objective, and they are somewhat impossible to not have any impact. So use a long pass to rush to them. As long as you catch an error from the opponent, you will have a chance to score."
According to Terry's suggestion, after getting the ball, Chelsea's wings and Qin Tian did not rely on their personal dribbling skills to rush forward, but instead sought a long pass to find Drogba on the forward line. In this way, Arsenal was a little at a loss.
At the pre-match analysis meeting, given the lessons learned from the previous defeat, Arsenal players studied Chelsea's offensive routines, and Chelsea's short pass permeable passes are very deterrent. However, such cooperation must be focused on fast passes and receptions between short distances, which have high requirements for the field and technology. However, unexpectedly, shortly after the opening, Chelsea played the old-fashioned British football style.
The firm long passes made Arsenal frustrated and made several mistakes that should not have been made. Ten minutes after the game, Qin Tian headed the ball high in the middle and passed it to Lampard, who was inserted into the back row with no one to guard against him. Lampard only took one step, adjusted his posture, and then passed the ball back to Qin Tian who was running well.
Qin Tian felt the direction of the goal, turned around and shot with a sling. After the ball flew up, the water stains splashed, and flew towards the goal like a cannonball, slamming the crossbar. The goalkeeper (0 scalp was numb, and the opponent's shot was too sudden and he had no reaction at all. If the crossbar hadn't helped, the score would have been rewritten.
The goalkeeper, who was still scared, felt that there was no need to give the defender first, and then when he was attacking, he simply kicked the ball directly forward and found his own forward. The earlier he left his penalty area, the better. Compared with Chelsea's offensive players, the more mistakes the players in the defense today, the better. In addition to Essin, Terry, Kerr, Pepe and Ivan obviously performed poorly as well as when they were in normal condition.
In addition, Arsenal's forward line is in a hot state today, and Van Persie seems to be possessed by the God of War. Al Shawen plays football in such a weather, which is undoubtedly a big deal compared to Russia, so the two teamed up to disrupt Chelsea's defense. This time it was Al Shawen again. After two and Van Persie skillfully passed one, Al Shawen also shot coldly at about 20 meters away from the goal.
His strength may not be as strong as Lampard and Qin Tian, but his skills are not inferior at all. The angle is equally tricky, and the ball jumps directly to the dead corner. Fortunately, after experiencing the second half of last season, Cech had some understanding of Al Shavin's technical characteristics, and his position was better, so although saving the ball might hit the post and there was a risk of injury. Cech still rushed over without hesitation and rescued the ball with great effort.
Thanks to the improvement of the current goal, although the advantages of the collision are painful, it did not cause any injury to Cech. The Blues fans also gave applause in time. If there is no goalkeeper's courage in football games, no matter how many goals are, the possibility of the ball will be discounted.
"Be more stable, don't rush to play, just be careful to keep people at the sight of others." Terry obviously took on a heavy task today. In addition to defense, he needs to help his teammates adapt to such a game. Pepe is great, but after all, he is young and has very little experience in playing football in the Premier League, so he must always give some tips.
I thought that the reason for the slippery inside was that the striker would definitely like to shoot from a long time. In addition to being a great threat, he also hoped to make his opponent make mistakes. Arsenal players also understood that the Blues' personal abilities are not inferior to their own, so they would not waste their time on entanglement with Chelsea players, but would shoot whenever they had the chance.
So for this kind of treatment, Chelsea's defensive players do not need to waste energy to get the position. They just need to keep people in front of others, not let the opponent take the ball comfortably, and kick the foot. For defenders, why is it more popular as they get older? It is because there is a process of accumulation of experience.
Dimateo on the sidelines obviously agrees with Terry's words. This is the fact that there is an old man in the family, and there is no crisis now, so Dimateo will not easily interfere with the self-adjustment of the players on the court. As the game gradually gets on track, his sudden intervention may disrupt the team's rhythm. Not only will it not be beneficial, but it will cause the team to get into trouble.
For example, if the rhythm is not unified, the ideas are not unified, etc., it will only lead to mistakes and make mistakes one after another. That is not what a mature head coach does or hopes to see.
"Chelsea was obviously very cautious when Arsenal's first corner kick after the opening. In addition to Qin Tian's position slightly closer to the center line, even Drogba was guarding his own penalty area." Astor watched the game nervously, which was even more nervous than the last time he watched the team's away game.
In the bad weather, set pieces are an important means of scoring. The reason why many teams keep practicing this event is because breaking the deadlock. When the sports war is not strong, you must change to a powerful weapon. Anyway, living people cannot be suffocated to death by urine.
Therefore, Arsenal also attaches great importance to this corner kick and puts forward a sure win. Several headers in the team are also in the Chelsea penalty area. The headers of the two teams are quite a bit pointed at the Mai Mang.
The corner kick taken by Al Shawen is a standard external propaganda arc. Judging from the posture in the air, the rotation force is obviously increased. This is the basic quality of a mature player. At this time, it is obviously a careful consideration to draw such a ball. What you need is that even if your own player does not reach the limit, you should be careful when defending the player. If you are not careful, it will create an own opportunity.
Therefore, without any confidence, including the goalkeeper, do not directly use a small area of your body to touch the ball. Once it is to be blocked, you must block it.
Chelsea's goal was in chaos, and Ozil, whose figure was obviously not comparable to those of the tall and large defenders, fell on the lawn. The referee blew the whistle and ordered the Arsenal player to foul. Through slow-motion replay, the opponent did have a small pushing move behind him, and the referee's vision was very good, so naturally he could not escape.
Once, the corner kick of Xixi was over. The players on both sides felt relieved, but they always felt a little unhappy. Cech also picked up the ball and wiped it carefully with his jersey. Otherwise, if they made a mistake in the kick-off later, they would be a joke.
According to the captain's suggestion, Cech then drove the ball to the frontcourt with a big foot, and still went to find Qin Tian. After all, Qin Tian had the strongest ability to control the ball.
