Chapter 452: A New Way to Deal with Lin Yu?
It wasn't until this moment that Lin Yu suddenly realized that the Arsenal players' sycophants before the game were simply impure in purpose, and they obviously knew that it was difficult to win Chelsea by their own strength, so they would use that kind of trick to make Chelsea's players fluttering, so that they could take advantage of the danger.
Clever!
I have to admire that the professor can play such a hand.
In fact, Lin Yu still misunderstood Wenger a little, this kind of show of weakness, similar to sugar-coated cannonballs, was not instructed by Wenger at all, but the result of discussions between several core players of Arsenal, Wenger also learned later, and the instructions were not opposed.
But regardless of who came up with the trick, Chelsea did get the trick in the game.
The commentators of various TV stations and radio stations were also very surprised, they thought that Arsenal would definitely surrender directly in this game, and the excitement of the game would be greatly reduced, after all, the Arsenal players said something like that before the game, it gave people a feeling of taking the initiative to admit defeat. But in fact, after the opening, it was not Chelsea who controlled the game, but Arsenal, like a poisonous snake hiding its fangs, and then suddenly biting it after the opponent relaxed.
Although Mourinho has discovered Arsenal's intentions, the poison in the fangs has begun to spread, and if there is no antidote to the symptoms, I am afraid that Chelsea will only slowly die in pain.
It felt like the Chelsea players were in a state of fascination and were completely out of order.
Ramsey, Wilshere and Olivier Giroud, who were looked down upon by Chelsea players, were all very good in this game, especially Mesut Ozil. It's like a fish in water, that pass again and again. All of them were very uncomfortable for the Chelsea backline, as he always seemed to find a way through the gaps. You don't even know how he got there.
In terms of passing, Lin Yu is ashamed of himself in the face of Chelsea, although Lin Yu's comprehensive ability is much better than Ozil, but in terms of passing the threat ball, he is really inferior to Ozil.
Fifteen minutes into the game, although Arsenal did not score, but they were firmly in control of the situation on the field, looking at the data displayed on the electronic screen, Arsenal had 70% possession. Basically, it has been done to completely suppress Chelsea.
Although Pep Guardiola did not go to watch this FA Cup match, he still watched it at the club with several of his core players.
Seeing this, his original thoughts that were still a little worried were completely gone, and he was now thinking that Lin Yu was indeed Bayern's sufferer at the beginning, but at that time, it was Klopp who coached Lin Yu, and Klopp's Dortmund style of play was completely different from Mourinho's Chelsea.
Or a lot of Temund's style of play is to restrain Bayern. But Chelsea's style of play may not be the same, and one more Lin Yu may not be as terrible as imagined.
He smiled and shook his head: "You all saw that Arsenal played very smart today and they tried to keep the ball at their feet. Just don't give Chelsea a chance to attack, especially don't give Lin Yu the right to control the ball, Lin Yu is no matter how good he is. If you don't have the ball at your feet, it doesn't mean anything. So you guys go down and think about how you should play against Chelsea. When the time comes, I will give my opinion, and if I think it makes sense, I will accept it. ”
Mourinho sat back in his seat with a gloomy face, recording something in his small notebook, he hadn't conceded the ball in the first half for the time being, he didn't want to make a substitution, because it was inappropriate to make a substitution so early, and even if he made a substitution, it might not be able to change the situation on the field, after all, the problem now is the whole team, not a few people.
He noticed that Lin Yu was also very depressed today, almost couldn't get any ball, Arsenal's players seemed to have opened up, maybe Wenger got some inspiration, they no longer use their weaknesses to deal with the advantages of others, they no longer defend Lin Yu, but strengthen their own advantages, and further improve the possession.
As long as the ball is controlled at his feet for a long time, it will be difficult for Lin Yu to get a chance to shoot, plus several players in the Chelsea front court seem to be a little stunned by the sycophants today, and they always want to kick it when they have nothing to do, and it is difficult for Lin Yu to get the ball at hand, and it is difficult for Lin Yu to get the opportunity to shoot, which makes Lin Yu's danger completely unreflected.
As for Lin Yu's steal, it's even better, since you have a good steal, then we just keep pouring our feet, and don't let you get close anyway.
Seeing this, Mourinho frowned, but Guardiola was happy, and he also found the best way to deal with Lin Yu, that is, not to let Lin Yu take the ball, anyway, the defense of Lin Yu can't be prevented, so don't let him get the ball, or let him get the ball less. Pep Guardiola believes that Bayern Munich's current level of possession is definitely better than Arsenal's, and what Arsenal can do, Bayern Munich can naturally do, and can do better.
In the stands, the fans who were originally booing the Arsenal players also suddenly stopped, the Arsenal fans cheered, and the Chelsea fans were nervous, they didn't expect this situation at all, they thought that their team could easily win this game, but it turned out to be almost 20 minutes, but it felt completely suppressed, and there was no sign of scoring at all.
There were a lot of shots, but six shots on goal, five kicks flew directly, and one kick was on the opposing defender, and even the goalkeeper didn't make much effort.
'Chelsea started off a bit of a surprise, didn't they get a good rest? Or is it too excited? I feel that the front court is a mess, fortunately, the defense at the back is not bad, and Arsenal did not score so quickly, otherwise Mourinho will not be able to do it in the second half, I believe that if it goes on like this, at halftime, someone will be replaced directly. ”
The Chelsea commentator still expects the Chelsea players to come to their senses and not get carried away by certain things and keep doing such brainless things.
If the Chelsea players were given a chance to think calmly, they might have come to their senses quickly, but the problem is that Arsenal won't give them that chance, and Arsenal don't just have possession. And the attack was just as sharp, with almost the same number of shots on goal. Arsenal are a lot of shooting threats, and they can cause Petr Cech a lot of problems almost every time.
There is no opportunity to think. If you want to be sober, I'm afraid it's not a matter of a while.
Ozil was worried that he would become the target of key defense and not perform well, but today's game made him find that he was almost directly ignored, and if he wanted to pass the ball, no one came to interfere at all, whether it was to look down on himself or forget about himself, then Chelsea would have to pay the price.
His passes were sharper and sharper every time. Each time the threat became more and more threatening, and the likes of Ramsey and Giroud began to get used to Ozil's sharp passing and began to find the right foot.
Lin Yu felt that the game couldn't go on like this, and when his teammates weren't sober, he should stand up! Who made him the heart of this team, at least before half-time, try not to concede a goal, and try to attack if you have the chance.
He had his eye on Ozil. Because he found that Ozil was too threatening, instead of going to defend without a head, it was better to simply stick to Ozil and not let Ozil get the ball. Be a little more practical. With his defensive ability, sticking to Ozil is still not a big problem.
It's just that Mesut Ozil is smart when the ball comes through. He didn't stop the ball at all, he just kicked it to his teammate. It's either a return or a cross-pass. Only when the opportunity is very good, will there be a clever through ball that Lin Yu looks amazing, and this ball is still passed directly, and it doesn't stop at all.
Ozil doesn't stop the ball, Lin Yu is difficult to steal, which also makes him feel a little headache, but now he doesn't have a good way, or can only stare at Ozil, at least don't let Ozil hold the ball steady, Ozil has a lot fewer opportunities to pass the threatening ball, and Chelsea's goal is relatively much safer.
What Lin Yu can do now is to try to keep an eye on Ozil while looking for the opponent's mistakes, and then use his personal ability to score, now the whole team is not in very good shape, as long as he can score a goal, the situation will probably change slightly.
Maybe it's the hard work that pays off, Arsenal finally made a passing error, Ramsey passed a ball to Giroud, although the direction was very accurate, but it was a little slower, although the distance between the two was only less than five meters, but Lin Yu was stunned like a gust of wind, snatched the ball to his feet, and then turned around and drove straight into the direction of Arsenal's penalty area.
Normally, he would have cooperated with his teammates and then launched a faster counterattack, but this time, he didn't pass the ball, not that he was selfish, he was really worried that his teammates would kick this hard-won opportunity directly away again. He broke through with the ball, and Ozil came up to mark the defense, and he was easily passed, after all, Ozil's ability is still reflected in the organization of the attack, and in terms of defense, he is really nothing.
After passing Ozil, Lin Yu made a beautiful change of direction and shook Wilshere directly to the ground, and by this time, the other person had reached the edge of the Arsenal penalty area.
There are too many people in the penalty area, there are their own people, and there are also Arsenal players, Lin Yu considered that it might not be appropriate to continue to bring it, so he saw the opportunity and directly volleyed.
The ball accurately penetrated the gap between the players in the penalty area, and then went straight to the bottom left corner of the goal, Sagna subconsciously stretched his leg to block, but the ball still grazed his body and continued to run towards the goal.
In the end, it was Polish goalkeeper Szczesny who jumped hard and smashed the shot out with a single fist, and then was cleared by Vermaelen with a big kick.
"This Lin Yu, really can't give him any chance!" Guardiola gritted his teeth and said viciously.
"Yes, this is too perverted, just one person's ability can almost change the situation on the field, and we are afraid that even Ribery or Robben can do it." Schweinsteiger said.
"No, I'm not as good as him." Ribery shook his head.
In front of his own people, Ribery is not embarrassed, maybe in the media, he will not admit defeat like Lin Yu, but now only his teammates and coaches, he still said it from the bottom of his heart.
"I'm definitely not as good as him in the middle, about the same on the wing, but he's physically stronger than me and can do more passing, so I hope on the day of the game, everyone will pay more attention and don't follow his way."
Ribery said this, of course, not humble, he just wants his team to win, since he wants to win, then he must first recognize the real strength of the opponent, if you see the strength of the opponent but do not want to admit it, then it is difficult to win the opponent.
"Looks like my one-back tactics are going to change." Pep Guardiola muttered to himself.
On TV, the game is still going on, although Lin Yu's personal ability has caused a lot of trouble to Arsenal, and even Arsenal's defender Medsak is a little unable to run, feeling that in order to defend Lin Yu, it has only been 30 minutes, and he is as if he has played 90 minutes of the game, tired enough.
This is not only a physical stress, but also a psychological one.
It's too difficult to prevent, especially for a big man like him, turning around is slow, in order to prevent Lin Yu, he has to use all the strength to eat milk, maybe it's not enough.
He can only hope that Mesut Ozil and his team-mates up front will score early. (To be continued......)
