Volume 3 The Myth of the Gunslinger Chapter 142 Sit back and watch the three consecutive flats

Li Huan's World Football Golden Ball Award and Terry's Friendship Wife are the hot spots in British football recently, but the difference is that Li Huan is touted by the British media, while Terry is the target of the British media's crusade.

Although Li Huan's Golden Ball Award was mainly won in Hoffenheim, in the eyes of the British media, it is the glory of the Premier League to attract players like Li Huan, Li Huan is an important weapon in the confrontation between the Premier League and La Liga, and now the competition between the five major leagues is mainly achieved through the Champions League, but in addition, the number and quality of stars in the major leagues are also an important reflection of the status of the league. Although the number of top stars in La Liga is now higher than that of the Premier League, Li Huan is the world's footballer of the year, Messi, Ronaldo and Kaka.

As time went on, the impact of the World Football Ballon d'Or faded away, and Terry's wife turned more to the field of gossip and entertainment, where more of the game and stars spoke, and the conversation quickly returned to the London derby between Arsenal and Chelsea.

The contest between Chelsea and Arsenal in the new century is divided into two phases, from the first meeting of the century on 6 May 2000 to the 2-1 defeat in the Community Shield on 7 August 2005, Arsenal have not been defeated at the feet of Chelsea in 18 games for more than five years. However, after '05, whenever the Bluebridge people saw the Arsenal people, they would be beaten more hard than once, and in the face of Drogba's violent aesthetics, the Wenger Scouts did not even have the strength to raise their hands to wipe their tears. After Li Huan joined this season, Arsenal began to reverse the decline, and Arsenal defeated Chelsea 5:2 in the first leg, and now that Li Huan is injured, what kind of performance Arsenal will have has become a focus of media attention.

The game was played at 4pm on 7 February, and although John Terry was controversial because of his friend's wife, the rest of Chelsea's players were not disturbed too much, playing very proactive after the opening game, and the shame of being slaughtered by Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in the last leg has been suppressed in the hearts of Chelsea, and today is his chance to wash away the shame.

Facing Arsenal's talented and skilled midfielders, Carlo Ancelotti decisively lined up a 433 formation, with Mikel in charge of defending and Ballack and Frank Lampard charging forward. Up front, Didier Drogba was in the middle, with Malouda and Nicolas Anelka on one side. Compared to the flashy and delicate possession of the Gunners' midfield led by Cesc Fabregas, the Chelsea players played more concisely, passing through midfield faster and passing the ball in a straight line.

Arsenal played very steadily away from home, without Li Huan, the Gunners are still very worried about Chelsea's muscular formation, this is not like Bolton, West Ham and other downstream teams with a rough style of play, Arsenal is afraid of Chelsea's strong body and unreasonable style of play, in terms of using the body, Chelsea is definitely the first in the Premier League. Arsenal and Chelsea can only rely on their own skillful skills to try to minimize physical contact with opponents.

Originally, Arsenal also wanted to take advantage of the turmoil caused by Terry's friend's wife to open a gap from Chelsea's backline Terry, but Ancelotti had already prepared for this, and under the initiation of the club, Terry received the selfless support of Stamford Bridge fans, and various slogans in support of Terry were played in the stadium. Encouraged by this, the Blues took the lead, setting up Didier Drogba from a corner and then directing the Gunners to defuse several attacks in the following games.

But Terry is still an ordinary person, when Chelsea is desperately attacking, but can't open the situation, Terry is a little anxious, there are often big moves in the defense, and the game only played half an hour, and Terry received a yellow card. Terry then became more impatient and a little erratic in defence, perhaps without the thrill of love, the Chelsea captain was unable to perform at his best.

In the fifth minute of the second half, Arsenal's left side Eboue crossed from the side, Terry turned out to be a header, and was picked up by Bendtner, who had just returned from injury and had just returned to two games, and Arsenal led 1:0 away, and the excited Bendtner made a kiss to his lover.

Fans who came to watch the Gunners were thrilled to see the shameful end of a losing streak away at Chelsea.

Li Huan, who sat with the fans, was also the focus of reporters' attention, he was photographed by reporters with cameras from time to time, seeing Bendtner take advantage of Terry's mistakes to score, Li Huan also stood up to congratulate his teammates, and the slamming Terry they formulated before the game finally had an effect, so it is not an impossible task to win.

Chelsea at Stamford Bridge are not the one at the Emirates Stadium, and Arsenal, who lost Li Huan, is no longer the Arsenal of the first leg.

In front of more than 40,000 fans in the stadium, Chelsea could not afford to fall behind, they desperately launched an attack on the Arsenal defense, Drogba's speed and physical advantages were fully utilized, even Malouda, who occasionally made a cameo appearance in the forward position, did not lose to the Gunners back line in physical terms, Drogba, Malouda, Ballack, Mikel and others used their physical advantages to carry the opponent, and the impact style of play made the weak Gunners feel difficult, Arsenal possessed the ball for more time than Chelsea, but it was difficult for them to attack the heart of Chelsea, More often than not, you can only shoot from outside the box. Chelsea, on the other hand, were far behind the Gunners in the number of passes, but they were no less threatening, and the blow to Arsenal was more direct and more aggressive.

In the 23rd minute of the second half, Lampard quickly dribbled the ball on the counter-attack, Anelka's diagonal run attracted the attention of the Arsenal defenders, Drogba took the ball on the right side of the penalty area and first broke through vertically, and then used his heel to lightly change the line horizontally, Gunners defender Vermaelen was shaken embarrassed, Drogba took advantage of the situation and volleyed a powerful left-footed volley into the near corner, 1-1! Drogba has scored 11 goals in his last 10 games against Arsenal.

Then both sides were unwilling to settle for a 1:1 draw, and both continued to attack the opponent's hinterland, but in the end, no one was able to break through the opponent's door again, and finally Arsenal drew Chelsea away from home, and won three consecutive draws in the league, and the momentum of crazy points became slowed down, and Manchester United beat Pompeii 5-0, and finally chased the points to 9 points with one game less.
