Platini, Beckenbauer and other football bigwigs in the main stand actually know that this game will not be good.Because these are two teams that lack experience in the Champions League, don't look at them as old rivals in the Premier League, but in the unfamiliar Champions League, the most important Champions League, they must be conservative and tend not to let the opponent score first.They are more concerned about how the two managers will fight wits and courage, they are all too familiar.After warming up on the field for more than ten minutes, they each returned, and then UEFA officials waited for the entrance, and after a simple ceremony, the two sides officially appeared, and the blue and yellow faced off in two columns.In fact, at this time, Jose's first move had already been made.Wang Ai didn't start!
Before the game, Wang Ai made a revenge oath, which should be the protagonist, but he didn't start.This frustrated Wenger's calculations, which had already been arranged to deal with Wang Ai with special personnel and tactics.At 19:45, Hauge blew a whistle, and the game officially began, and then, Wenger returned a hand, and Arsenal, which is known for its elegant style of play, played a defensive counterattack!
Chelsea started with a big press, but Jose quickly made adjustments and obediently retracted into the half.It seems that Jose originally planned to steal Wenger, but was also blocked by the cautious Wenger.This time the two coaches exchanged hands in the air, and Beckenbauer, who was watching, smiled and whispered to Platini with a slight sideways.For professionals of their level, the commercial value of individual stars is handled by a dedicated person, and they are more concerned about the overall and even the changes in the direction of the football wind.Wenger and Jose, who have distinct temperaments, are both worthy of study.But after a small opening move, the game ended in an ugly stalemate, as Beckenbauer had predicted, with the gunners huddled behind cover and fired cold shots, and the biscuits sat on their plates with only a few crumbs flying over occasionally.Not only the coach, but also very few players from both sides have played the Champions League final, and in the 80,000-strong National Stadium, everyone is a little nervous, and the action inevitably brings a little stiffness.It lasted for 20 minutes before the two sides cautiously poked out their tentacles and began to have more opportunities to attack the front of the opponent's penalty area.Arsene Wenger and Jose began to shout frequently from the sidelines, and the game gradually heated up to the shouts of fans on both sides.After all, the two sides are old rivals who are too familiar with each other, and the game gradually enters the rhythm of habit.Even Wang Ai, who watched the game from the sidelines, felt that compared to the elegant Arsenal, Chelsea was indeed a little ugly.Not only are the tactics ugly, but the players are also ugly, not only the appearance is ugly, but the style is also ugly.But it must be admitted that the poet-like Arsenal will indeed be suppressed by the villain Chelsea.Although both sides are Premier League teams and are accustomed to high-intensity confrontations, Arsenal's defense, both tactically and personally, is not as good as Chelsea's, and the defense of Terry, Essien, Geremi, Del Horno and others is very active.Arsenal players often give in after a few rounds of one-on-one collisions, which makes Chelsea's defensive system look more resilient.Poets are most accustomed to contests between poets, and are not good at hooligan fights.Henry is very enthusiastic, as an arrow, especially a counter-attacking arrow, he did not "put the collective first" as he said before the game, but frequently attacked on his own, showing a strong desire to attack.So much so that the French fans on the sidelines began to involuntarily call his name in unison.This is really the treatment of a superstar returning to his home stadium!
That call reached a climax in the 35th minute, when Ashley Cole, who was inserted in the back row, used a precise cross to get past the Del Horno defence, Henry squeezed between Terry and Carvalho, and scrambled to stop the football, but Carvalho, who should have stepped forward immediately, hesitated for some reason, only to be easily picked by Henry, past Cech's hands, into the Chelsea goal!"
Henry!"
The enthusiasm of the French fans burst out, shouting the name of their prince in unison!
Arsene Wenger raised his arms, Henry opened his arms and beckoned his teammates to come and celebrate, Terry looked at Henry's back in disappointment, Carvalho shook his head regretfully, and Jose remained silent.After the goal, Arsenal tried to attack for a few more minutes, and then quickly retreated from the defense, at most there was no one left in the front, as many as seven people concentrated at the top of the penalty area, which made Lampard, Essien and other central greats helpless.At the same time, Robben and Joe Cole, who were flying on both wings, were also caught in a bitter battle.Worried about Thierry Henry's pace, Chelsea did not dare to press all the forces.And Arsene Wenger's unconventional utilitarian style of play also makes it difficult for Chelsea's attacking speed to play.This kind of game depends on who scores first, especially when the side that is good at defending and counterattacking is behind and the opponent is playing dense defense, the game is particularly difficult.Drogba had to temporarily withdraw from the penalty area after receiving Robben's cross twice, but his header couldn't be squeezed by Max, and Essien's powerful long-range shot was easily blocked by Valdés, who had been prepared.On the contrary, Arsenal's several counter-attacks have created a huge threat in the cheers of the fans.At the very least, it seems that there are many people and the momentum is menacing.Jose finally intervened, and on his orders, Chelsea stepped back.Wang Ai is not on the field, there is no point in the front court that can hold the ball, and there is no assister with a clear mind, everything is expected by Wenger, and the dense defense cannot be broken at all.Usually there are only two things Chelsea can do in this situation: one is to drop back and attract the opponent out, and the other is to withdraw the defenders and go up front desperately.Other than that, we can only pray, pray that the players of great value will be able to have a personal inspiration.And now, Jose has one more choice, but it is not the time to send Wang Ai.With two yellow cards and a goal conceded, the Blues returned to the dressing room in silence.Ten minutes later, the venue was swapped and the game restarted.Jose still had no intention of sending Wang Ai on the field, he wanted to see if Wenger could attack under the pressure of the increasingly frenzied home fans, but unfortunately, until the 65th minute of the game, Wenger and his disciples were still calmly swinging the bus.Wang Ai and Crespo got up at the same time to warm up, people don't know whether Jose plans to go to Wang Ai or gamble on both, warm up for a few minutes, the two were called to Jose, it seems that both of them are going to go, Wenger on the other side hurriedly deployed.But Wang Ai and Crespo knew that there was only one person on the list, because all of Jose's temporary confessions were told to Wang Ai.The game was suspended, the electronic scoreboard played "number 13", and suddenly more than 10,000 Chelsea fans shouted Wang Ai's nickname.Many people can't help but sigh in their hearts: It's finally here!
