The venue for this year's FA Cup final was played at Manchester United's Old Trafford, and it can be said that both the venue and the two teams in the final have a lot of influence.

The media interviewed the coaches and key players of both teams before the game, and Chelsea were still full of confidence and did not show weakness at all, saying that they must win the FA Cup.

However, to the surprise of many, Wenger softened his tone in the interview, and used a lot of words to praise the strength of Chelsea, and then when it came to his own team, he was very modest, and even a little lacking in confidence.

As the core of Arsenal set up by Arsene Wenger, Wilshere also gave an interview, he said in an interview: "Chelsea's strength is obvious to all, although we want to win, but I'm afraid there is not much chance, I think we will definitely work hard, but the opponent has a player of Lin Yu's level, I'm afraid the game will be really difficult and difficult." ”

When Wilshere spoke, his eyes floated and his expression was nervous, as if he was lacking in confidence.

Many of Chelsea's players have become even more smug after seeing Wenger and Wilshere perform like this.

Some players even announced in the dressing room: "Arsenal is already scared, it is estimated that the FA Cup will be lost without a fight, and then we will wait to win the championship." ”

"That's right, look at Wilshere's appearance, it's almost completely unconfident, in that case, let's be gentle, don't let the family lose too ugly."

Listening to the words of his teammates, Lin Yu felt a little insecure, he always felt that there was something boring here. But if you think about it, Chelsea are much better than Arsenal right now. As long as the performance is normal, it is not a big problem to win Arsenal. I'm probably worried about it.

Jose Mourinho was not convinced that Arsene Wenger would give up so easily, and he warned his players after a training session not to take Arsenal lightly.

But the day after he finished speaking, another piece of news broke out in the media.

This time, the media interviewed almost all of Arsenal's main players while training with Arsenal.

"Do you really have no confidence in winning the FA Cup?"

"How can there be no faith! We're going to win the championship! Giroud hastened to reply, but it was clear that his eyes betrayed him, and he was not so sure. He seemed to be underconfident.

The reporter was so smart, of course, he also saw Giroud's insincere words, and specially gave Giroud's eyes a close-up.

Mesut Ozil also said: 'I'll do my best to win, but Chelsea are too strong to know if they can win, so don't dwell on that, I'm going to train. ”

After that, Ramsey and others spoke, and they all looked a little lacking in confidence. Although he said that he must compete for the championship, he actually showed that he was very unconfident.

It was precisely this report that was seen by the Chelsea players, because it was not a small newspaper or a small radio station, but a well-known sports station in England. Just keep an eye on the news program and you won't miss it.

Not only that, but many newspapers have also reported on it. Anyway, now the whole of England is saying that "Arsenal is finished, they don't have the confidence to fight Chelsea anymore." It's no wonder that Chelsea were beaten twice in the league. This will undoubtedly cause them a lot of psychological pressure. ”

There are even newspapers detailing what some of Arsenal's players think about Chelsea, such as-

Mesut Ozil: "I don't know much about Chelsea, but I know Jose Mourinho is a great coach and his coaching ability is terrible. ”

Giroud: "Lin Yu has long been my idol, and I'm desperately chasing him. ”

Aaron Ramsey: 'A player like Juan Mata can only be a substitute at Chelsea and you know how strong this team is. ”

Rosicky: "I've played against Chelsea a lot of times and they're really strong, especially now that they're unbeaten in the Champions League final, there's no doubt about their quality. ”

Jenkinson: "Defending Lin Yu? No, no, no, you think too highly of me, Lin Yu is the best player on the planet, Messi and Ronaldo are not his opponents, I can barely defend Hazard is lucky, defending Lin Yu is simply a joke. ”

Wilshere: "As you know, we were beaten twice by Chelsea in the league. ”

Such a large report caused a strong protest from Arsenal fans, and even Henry, a former Arsenal meritorious player, stood up to speak.

"This must be media nonsense, Arsenal can't be so cowardly!"

On the contrary, Chelsea fans walked the streets and cheered, as if the FA Cup title was already in hand, and even on the bus to Old Trafford, most of the Chelsea players showed disdain and contempt, and they also thought that Arsenal was too cowardly, although what they said was probably the truth, but it was too embarrassing to compliment the opponent like this, right?

Maybe it's really afraid of losing, I want to make some excuses for my loss, many teams are not like this, flattering the opponent before the game, if you lose, it means that the opponent is too strong, and your face is finally passable, if you brag about yourself, but you lose again, then you really have to slap yourself in the face.

Either way, the game started in such an atmosphere that the Chelsea players didn't even have time to think through the details.

Lin Yu once suspected that this was Wenger's strategy, but he still knew a little about Wenger, and the coach was unlikely to play any tricks, he was different from his manager Jose Mourinho.

He felt that he was still thinking too much, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Old Trafford is United's proud home stadium, but today the stands were filled with Arsenal and Chelsea fans, with only a small fraction of the crowd coming to see the excitement, but everyone booed the same, and the boos were for Arsenal. Because of the cowardice and self-contempt of this team, they feel very unpleasant.

Perhaps the only one who didn't underestimate Arsene Wenger. It's Jose Mourinho, who has been a manager for so many years. What tricks he hasn't played? So he's not thinking about all that stuff right now, he's thinking about how to win Arsenal here and win the FA Cup smoothly.

In terms of the strength of both sides, Chelsea is indeed stronger, but it is not as divine as the media boasts, and the real strength of Chelsea is Lin Yu, who can successfully revitalize the entire frontcourt. So when he is on the field, he can make the strength of Chelsea's entire team go up a notch, but Lin Yu is just one person after all, in terms of comprehensive strength, Arsenal is really not much weaker than Chelsea, as long as he can play well, it is normal to win Chelsea.

So Mourinho wants to be steady, he has to be steady, and he intends to observe the situation in the first half. Let the team adopt a defensive strategy and see what Arsene Wenger has in mind.

Strategically, Mourinho values Arsenal but is not afraid. He never thought he would lose to Arsenal here, and don't forget that he is not afraid of European champions like Barcelona and Bayern Munich, so how can he be afraid of the little Arsenal?

The name of a madman is not for nothing.

Tactically. Of course, it's still his traditional 4231 formation, at the back. Instead of using Luiz, he used the more secure Cahill and Terry pairing. Louis has the ability, but he likes to come forward too much, which is not good, really bad.

The two fullbacks are still Ivanovic and Ashley Cole, in the midfield, the midfield position is the combination of Lampard and Ramirez, this combination has almost become the norm this season, only when Lampard's physical strength declines greatly, will he be replaced by Mikel or Van Ginkel to replace him, after all, although Lampard is old, but experience and footwork are still available, at a critical time, he can also become the knife to break the deadlock, after all, the most scorer in Chelsea history is not blown.

In the forward position, Mourinho used Mata in this game, first, he was going to use Oscar in the Champions League final, so this game first let Oscar rest and rest, and secondly, because Mata's skills are more delicate at his feet, and there should be more ways to deal with a technical team like Arsenal, anyway, Mata's shortcomings in defense can be made up for by Lin Yu.

The two wing-backs were unchanged, Hazard on the left and Schurrle on the right.

Mourinho's task for Schurrle is to interfere with Ozil as much as possible, not to let Ozil get the ball, even if he sacrifices the attack, and not to let Ozil get the ball.

The approximate tactical arrangement, in fact, is no different from weekdays, because of the presence of Lin Yu, Chelsea not only two wings can be opened, the attack in the middle is also sharp, coupled with the frequent change of four players in the front, in fact, it is Arsenal that should have a headache.

In the end, Arsenal is a big threat to Mesut Ozil, and the rest of the players are really not good, not that Mourinho looks down on them, but that is how they perform in the game.

Rosicky is old, this is still a substitute, Wilshere is simply useless, Ramsey seems to have suddenly opened his mind, but he has opened his mind, Giroud has suddenly fallen silent, and the other players don't need to comment on them one by one, they are not even qualified to play Mourinho's small book.

Originally, this arrangement should be seamless, as long as you play steadily and steadily, it will be a smooth thing to win the game, but at the beginning of the game, Mourinho was a little restless.

He found that he had overlooked a serious problem, and while the flattering media coverage of Arsenal had little impact on him, his players had a clear impact, and he had been able to keep the team on the counter-attack, but now the situation on the pitch was that his players were eager to settle the game as soon as possible and then celebrate the victory.

Once the attack is fought, holes in the defense frequently appear.

Schurrle didn't follow his instructions to defend Ozil either, because he felt that as long as he could score, Ozil was not pressure at all.

It is with this kind of thinking that Chelsea is almost a little fluttering, and it is also that this team is different from the traditional giants, the traditional giants, after all, it is common to be praised, so they can accept it calmly, but many players in this Chelsea team are still very young, and they are so praised by the Arsenal players, it is difficult for them to hold on, and it is not surprising that they are impulsive.

As a result, this situation has led directly to frequent crises in Chelsea's backline.

'Mesut Ozil, it's Mesut Ozil again, his through ball is just too subtle, but unfortunately Giroudo took a step and was blocked by Cech, otherwise Arsenal would have taken the lead in just five minutes.'

Why do you say again? Because it wasn't the first time Ozil had threatened the ball.

"Xuerle, what are you doing, the task I gave you!" Mourinho couldn't sit still, he sat up from the sidelines and shouted at Schurrle.

But now Schurrle, who is kicking on the head, didn't hear his shouts at all, and still went his own way, Ozil was completely ignored, and ignoring such a person was really a death.

'It's a rare scene, Arsenal are in control of the scene, but Chelsea are playing very badly, not to mention messy coordination on the pitch, and the players are so promising.

The commentary is not wrong at all, today several players don't know if they have taken the wrong medicine, they don't even pass the ball, Hazard shoots, Mata shoots, Schurrle shoots, and lives and dies just don't pass to Lin Yu in a better position, which makes Lin Yu really a little unexpected.
