Super Marshal

"...A counter-attack from Arsenal, Wiltord takes the ball and passes it in the middle..."

"Henry got rid of Makelele, ran in behind, Terry headed the ball to clear, beautiful defense!"

"Arsenal's counterattack was very fast this time, but Chelsea's return to defense was not slow. The two central defenders Terry and Gallas completed their tasks very well in a one-on-one defensive state."

...

"Chelsea launched a counterattack, the ball came to the left, Bridge crossed and was pushed out by Campbell."

"Veron took the ball, moved it with a big foot, came to the left again and gave it to Ronaldinho."

"Ronaldinho passed to Deco, Deco knocked back..."

"Beautiful two-and-one from the bottom line, Ronaldinho bursts in front of the goal, passes to the middle, Ibrahimovic..."

"Oh, almost, Ibrahimovic wasted a great opportunity!"

"The Swedish center looked upset too, very depressed."

"From the slow-motion replay we can see that Ibrahimovic was disturbed by Kolo Toure during the start-up."

...

"It's still Chelsea who get the ball, or the pass to the left."

"It was Ronaldinho again with the ball, forced past Lauren and passed to the post."

"Eto'o followed and volleyed directly..."

"Taller!"

"Chelsea have been aggressive in recent times, but Arsenal's defense has been solid."

...

"Ronaldinho had the ball again on the left, he was alone against Lauren and looked like he was going it alone."

"Okay, Ronaldinho cuts in, goes in the middle, passes to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, passes back..."

"Gilberto Silva came back very decisively."

...

"From the beginning of the game until now, Chelsea have firmly controlled the situation of the game, but Arsenal's defense is very solid, and they have not given Chelsea the slightest chance."

"Thirty minutes into the game, we saw that Chelsea's tackling data was amazing, reaching 14 times, and all of them were successful. This is simply shocking and reflects the excellent pressing ability of the Blues."

"In contrast, Arsenal had only five tackles in the first 30 minutes, which is indeed a bit lax."

"In addition, we can see that Chelsea shot eleven times in the first 30 minutes, but only one shot was on target, and only three shots were inside the penalty area. The others were basically long-range shots from the outside. Speaking of Arsenal, there were only two shots, both from Thierry Henry on the counter-attack."

"There is also the ball possession rate that many of our fans are very concerned about. Chelsea's ball possession rate in the first 30 minutes is quite amazing, reaching 61%. That is to say, it has always been praised as a skill in the Premier League. Arsenal, who are inferior, have only 39% of the ball in front of Chelsea."

"I don't know how to describe the first half hour of the game, Martin, what do you think?"

After Andy Gray asked, Martin Taylor immediately took up the topic.

"Yes, I would say, from the first 30 minutes, Chelsea completely dominated the game."

"As we expected before the game, the Blues' pass and control played very well. Although there were problems in the area of ​​Ibrahimovic and Eto'o on the offensive end, we can see that the Blues In other aspects, they did quite well, and it can even be said that they completely overwhelmed Arsenal."

"I think from the first 30 minutes of the game, we can see the similarities and differences between the two head coaches, Gao Han and Wenger."

"For example, they all pay attention to technical players, but Gao Han's purpose is to pass and control, and even a talented player like Ronaldinho must join in the pressing of the midfielder, but relatively speaking , Wenger treats technical players more leniently."

"At the same time, I think that in this game, we have seen very well what Gao Han has done on Chelsea. He insisted on the football philosophy he implemented in Atletico Madrid, and hoped that even if this set It is a pass-and-control style of play that is very advanced in continental Europe and copied to the Premier League."

"But he is very wise. He didn't choose to copy it rigidly. Instead, he wisely combined the characteristics of the Premier League on the basis of adhering to his own football philosophy, such as his reuse of Zlatan Ibrahimovic."

Andy Gray immediately nodded in agreement: "Yeah, judging from this game, I think Zlatan Ibrahimovic is indeed very good, especially in the face of Kolo Toure and Campbell, the two central defenders almost I can't stand him alone, his physical fitness is too good, and his feet are very delicate, which fits very well with Gao Han's philosophy."

"Yes, this is why Gao Han has always valued Ibrahimovic. In addition to technology, he also needs to have the physical fitness to fight against the Premier League central defenders. He is much better than Good Johnson in this regard."

When Martin Taylor said this, he repeatedly praised: "I think, now I am starting to change my view of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but I really hope that Gao Han can bring him out."

"Comparatively speaking, Arsenal's few counterattacks in this game all ended on Henry's side. We always thought before the game that Ferreira would be Arsenal's opponent in this game. The breakthrough point of the offense, but now it seems that the Portuguese right-back has been relatively successful in defending Henry." Andy Gray said.

"Yes, that's right, there are also Makelele and Veron. Gao Han obviously paid enough attention to Arsenal's left attack, and invested a lot in defense. It should be considered relatively successful. This is why Chelsea can occupy the field. The reason for the superiority."

"So, the problem now is that neither side has been able to find an effective way to attack the other's goal in the game."

"Well, we need to look at the specific ideas of the two head coaches."

…………

…………

On the court, Chelsea launched an attack again, still making a fuss on the left.

After Ronaldinho took the ball, he picked a pass into the penalty area. Ibrahimovic, caught in the pinch of Campbell and Kolo Touré, grabbed the first point with a header and gave it to David. Deco at the front of the restricted area.

But Deco followed up with this long-range shot, which once again hit Lehmann's arms.

Chelsea missed another chance to score.

In the stands of Highbury Stadium, Abramovich looked a little frustrated, and let out a loud ah, venting his depression.

From the beginning to the present, Chelsea has had more than a dozen shots, but they have never been able to really threaten Arsenal's goal. This feeling of gaining power and not scoring makes Abramovich feel very depressed.

"If we had Shevchenko, Crespo, or Henry, we would have already scored!"

Pini Zahavi said something indifferent.

Abramovich's expression changed, but he quickly sat back in his seat calmly.

As an agent and a good friend of Abramovich, Pini Zahavi, who is good at observing words and emotions, naturally knows what the Russians are thinking. He knows that Abramovich is ambitious and wants to build a team similar to Real Madrid. team.

Not only to achieve results, not only to play beautifully, but also to have superstars.

A star of Ronaldinho's level simply cannot meet Abramovich's requirements.

What he wants is the number one player in the world in every position!

Knowing this, Pini Zahavi knew exactly what to say and how to do it.

Because he understands better than anyone else that he, Roman Abramovich, is the only owner of Chelsea!

…………

…………

The first half ended 0-0 with neither side scoring a goal.

Gao Han returned to the locker room, went to the coach's rest area first, discussed with Sergio Garcia and Cantarero and other coaching staff members, and formulated countermeasures for the problems exposed in the first half.

When Gao Han came to the players' rest area, everyone was already waiting for him.

They all know that Gao Han will never let it go.

"Everyone performed well in the first half. Although I failed to score, I am very satisfied with the performance of each of you."

Gao Han's words made every player present feel relieved, and a big rock fell to the ground.

"However, our team has also exposed some problems, Samuel."

"Boss." Eto'o, who was named, stood up nervously.

The Cameroon player worked hard in the first half, which Gao Han knew very well, but the tactical effect was not particularly ideal.

"I found that you often lean towards the middle. This is not a good phenomenon. They have double midfielders and the center is very dense. On the contrary, Ashley Cole has a strong desire to attack. He often stays on the left. It's a little bit of a distance with Campbell, and you should take advantage of that."

Eto'o heard that the coach didn't think about replacing him, he was relieved, and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Zlatan." Gao Han looked at Ibrahimovic again.

He is also very satisfied with the performance of the Swedish center forward, and his attitude is too sincere to say anything.

With Zlatan Ibrahimovic's tonnage, he can still maintain that speed and running on the court. Gao Han really can't ask him more.

"You did your job well, but you should have done more with Samuel and Ronaldinho, for example..."

Behind Gao Han, Emery has already laid out the tactical board, on which are attached chess pieces representing player numbers, while Gao Han is at the front of the penalty area representing Arsenal's half, expounding on the team's offense Variations and routines.

As the saying goes, everything is the same. Although players have different characteristics and styles, many things are the same.

Gao Han once led a center like Kiko when he was in Atletico Madrid, and drew up offensive tactics around Kiko, so now he is training Zlatan Ibrahimovic, which is also logical and convincing to the Swedish center.

As for Ronaldinho...

"I have only one request for you, Ronaldinho." Gao Han thinks that the Brazilian is the best and most critical player for Chelsea this season, but he believes that the Brazilian should be able to do better.

"You say." Ronaldinho nodded.

"I hope you can be more aggressive, even at the front of the penalty area, as long as you are sure, I allow you to kick the goal at any time, do you understand what I mean?"

After hearing this, Ronaldinho nodded heavily, "Understood."

He felt that Gao Han valued and trusted him.

After Gao Han nodded affirmatively towards Ronaldinho, he looked around at the players around him, "Okay, guys."

All the players immediately looked at the head coach in unison.

"I still have the same sentence, we have to justify ourselves in this game, we have to tell all opponents what kind of team we are, and in the first half, each of us did a very good job, I hope it's the same in the second half."

Gao Han shook his head, "Don't give Arsenal any chance, use our offense and our pass control advantage to defeat them, do you have confidence?"

"Yes!" The players responded in unison.
