"Huh? How could this happen?"

In the chairman's stand at Stamford Bridge, Koswick jumped up from his seat with a look of shock on his face.

Koswick is the current chairman of Arsenal Club and holds a knighthood, so his full name should be Sir Koswick.

The 75-year-old has held management positions at Hambros Bank, De Beers Bank and the Bank of England. He has been a member of Arsenal's board of directors since 2005 and succeeded Peter Hillwood as club chairman in 2013.

As the majority shareholder of the club, Stan Kroenke, the actual owner who owns 6,705 shares of the club, has his own sports business empire in the United States, including the NFL team Los Angeles Rams, MLS Colorado Rapids and MLS

Owners of several sports clubs including the basketball team Denver Nuggets;

This resulted in him not being particularly interested in Arsenal, a club far away in the UK, and would not come to watch even such an important game.

As for spending money to buy people and so on... isn't Wenger running your business very well? You can save money to build a stadium, so you shouldn't need to suck the boss's blood!

Therefore, the main decision-making leaders of Arsenal Club are Chairman Sir Koswick and Ce Gazidis.

Today, the two of them also came to the scene to watch this game, and placed their hopes on Arsenal, hoping that they can defeat Chelsea and strive to compete for the championship while keeping their team's unbeaten record from being overtaken by their rivals in the same city.

Break.

But now, the game has just begun, and Cech has already picked up the ball in the net.

At this time, not to mention the players, I am afraid that many fans have not yet entered the state. How come they were suddenly scored by their opponents?

And hearing Sir Coswick's doubts, Ce Gazidis sitting next to him also remained silent.

To be honest, he didn't even see the whole process of the goal. He only knew that Chelsea had scored when he heard the fans chanting Lukaku's name.

I just sat down and took out the message I just received from that girl...

After receiving no response, Sir Coswick sat back angrily, obviously dissatisfied with the team's start.

What made it even more difficult for him to accept was that after conceding the ball, instead of counterattacking, Arsenal was beaten by Chelsea.

"I don't even know how these people play football!" Koswick cursed again, and then started pointing at the players on the field:

"Why do you want to play Gabriel? I feel like I can't prevent Hazard's breakthrough at all. Koscielny can't do it either, and neither of the two central defenders can do it!"

"Isn't Sanchez very strong? Why can't he stop when the young man opposite him stares at him? He can't even hold the ball."

"Didn't Giroud play very well in the previous period? Why did he be replaced? Can Walcott play as a lone forward? He can't play. He doesn't have the ability, you know."

"..."

Gazidis swallowed and stopped talking.

He knows that the older Jazz next to him is not like the boss. He has always cared about Arsenal and hopes that the team will achieve results.

But the problem is that coach Wenger must have his own ideas about what lineup he will put together, and it is not something that laymen can just point out.

And maybe the Jazz are a little forgetful. The team’s investment in recent years has indeed been average.

These personnel on the Arsenal field have been saved by Wenger through frugality. It is not easy for the professor to bring the team to its current position under limited conditions.

Not long ago, when commenting on Arsenal's recent financial report, Sir Coswick said that although the club's revenue from tickets and game broadcasts has increased, the club will not change the current player salary structure and they will continue to do so.

Make rational investments in player salaries.

And this sentence was said when some players in the team were already talking about contract renewal.

There are reports that Sanchez hopes that his weekly salary will increase from the current 150,000 pounds to 250,000 pounds, and many players also expect a salary increase.

However, Mr. Chairman's comments imply that the club will not break the team's salary structure even for a player as big as Sanchez.

As a result, the loss of players in the team is almost inevitable.

In this way, how to compete with the Manchester duo who have been increasing their investment, and how to compete with the powerful Chelsea in front of them?

Even Liverpool's senior management said that they will strongly support new coach Klopp's signing plan in the winter window and next summer.

If this continues, Arsenal may be on par with Tottenham, or even worse than this North London rival.

Under such a premise, it is quite ironic for Koswick, as the chairman, to scold his players for not being able to play against Chelsea.

But as a CEO, Gazidis certainly can't talk about the Jazz so directly, let alone scold Kroenke for not paying him.

So he just said tactfully:

"We are only one goal behind now. I believe in Wenger. If we take our time, we should have a chance to equalize."

Koswick shook his head: "Believe Wenger? If he really gets nothing this season, we really have to seriously consider his future at Arsenal."

Now some Arsenal fans are also calling for "Wenger", and the chairman's words are not very sudden.

Seeing Gazidis bowing his head in silence, Sir Coswick pointed to the field again: "Look, our current main attack points Sanchez and Walcott are completely guarded and cannot pose any threat at all. Then.

The defense is helpless against Chelsea's attacking group. If this continues, let alone equalizing, conceding goals again is almost inevitable."

Gazidis nodded and admitted that Sir Coswick was right.

Although Mr. Chairman is forgetful, he still understands football.

Pan Yi sent Goretzka to keep an eye on Sanchez, which was equivalent to cutting off a leg of Arsenal.

On the other side, the right wing composed of William and Bellerín had to repeatedly attack Hazard and Marcos Alonso, which also looked extremely embarrassing.

In a completely passive situation, the little tiger Walcott at the front had no chance to get the ball, and naturally he was unable to use his fast speed.

"Maybe Wenger's strategy has his own ideas, but one thing is for sure." Gazidis murmured, "Pan Yi firmly strangled us to death!"

As Arsenal executives said, Pan Yi clearly understands Wenger's thoughts and has made all possible arrangements.

After scoring a goal, he has been paying attention to Wenger's movements.

If Wenger makes adjustments immediately, he must follow up.

This is because Pan Yi asked Goretzka to keep an eye on Sanchez throughout the game. If Wenger used Sanchez in any special way, such as retreating sharply into the backcourt, Pan Yi would also have to make changes.

.

Otherwise, Goretzka will lose his position because he faithfully implements the coach's instructions, resulting in one less player in the midfield.

But it is obvious that Wenger still seems to be hesitant to make adjustments quickly. After all, the game has just begun.

Making major tactical adjustments in the opening minutes is a huge risk in itself, because it means that the preparations made in the past few days, or even a week or two, may be in vain.

And since Wenger doesn't move, Pan Yi doesn't move either.

Of course, fine-tuning is still possible.

That's because he is asking the players to continue to increase their intensity in attacking and strive to score more goals!

Now he has the ball in hand, and the advantage is mine, so it’s not a big problem.

And Pan Yi is very convinced that as long as the two sides continue to play like this, Chelsea will undoubtedly win, at least they will not let the opponent score.

This is also true.

In addition to Sanchez being marked and the back line unstable, Arsenal's dual defensive midfielders Cazorla and Coquelin today are far inferior to Kante and Hazard in terms of interception ability.

In other words, Cazorla is more technical, so he and Chelsea's attacking midfielder Hazard can be put aside for now.

The remaining so-called "beast waist" Coquelin can be said to be suppressed by Kanter in almost all aspects.

Not to mention that even though Goretzka kept an eye on Sanchez the whole time, he would still control the ball if it came.

As a result, Arsenal is completely at a disadvantage in the midfield battle, while the Blues can play very calmly in both the frontcourt and the backcourt, with a lot of room for movement.

Soon, Chelsea got many more opportunities.

After receiving a short pass from Kanter in the midfield, Hazard suddenly took off without any defense.

The ball barely missed the upper right corner of Arsenal's goal, almost hitting the blind spot.

This goal caused the entire Stamford Bridge stadium to burst into exclamations. Although it did not go in, it shocked everyone.

Just a minute later, Hazard suddenly pulled to the wing again, received a pass from David Luiz, and passed down the left wing.

Lukaku in the middle stopped the ball with his chest and hit it with his left foot in front of the goal. Unfortunately, this time his left foot shot missed the right spot and went wide.

Lukaku was very dissatisfied with not being able to score this time. After slapping his head hard twice, he gave Hazard a thumbs up. What a great opportunity, he just missed it.

Although they didn't score, the continuous attacks still caused a tremor in front of Arsenal's goal.

In just ten minutes, Chelsea made six threatening shots and scored a goal, while Arsenal's shots were always zero.

But even so, Wenger seems to be hesitant to make adjustments.

Perhaps, he is also betting that the team can quickly stabilize its position and defeat Chelsea's counterattack.

When that time comes, it’s still unclear who will win.

But in the 15th minute, Chelsea's patient organization finally showed results.

First, the entire midfield was pressed to the front of Arsenal's 30-meter area, where Kante, Hazard and Goretzka moved back and forth, constantly looking for Arsenal's loopholes.

Suddenly, Azpilicueta on the right rushed forward quickly along the right line. Hazard had a clear idea and passed the ball in the direction of him, allowing Azpilicueta to receive the ball and avoid it.

He passed Coquelin's defense and passed directly.

The placement of this cross was chosen very well and very accurately.
