Volume 3: The Myth of the Gunslinger Chapter 97: Breaking Cole (Part I)
Wenger stood anxiously on the sidelines, letting the rain wet his suit, as the so-called people are not as good as the sky, the heavy rain has dealt a major blow to his tactical plan, there is basically not much hope in the middle, after the injury of Klich on the right side, Traore came on top, it is impossible to expect Traore to play much role as a substitute in such a strong dialogue game, now we can only see Li Huan's play, from the opening ten minutes, Ancelotti did not work too his left side, I don't know if he underestimated Li Huan, or if he felt that he couldn't defend it anyway, it was better not to defend it, so he let Joe Cole and Cole attack against each other, so that the left side became one of the main battlefields.
"It's a pity that Bendtner and Van Persie are injured! Wasted Li Huan's cross on the wing. Rice wiped the glasses that were wet by the rain, and said regretfully, Wenger suddenly woke up, and then understood Ancelotti's insidious intentions, he knew that Van Persie and Bendtner would definitely not be able to play, so he opened the side to Li Huan, and would rather let Li Huan cross, as long as Li Huan does not break through the inner cut, anyway, there are Terry and Carvalho in the middle, and he is not afraid of Eduardo's header and grabbing points.
"Remind Li Huan, let him cut inside and shoot more, don't cross again, and don't pass the boccia ball." Wenger decisively said to Les, the professor is experienced, and the ability to adapt to the situation is also good, and he knows that he can't be led by Ancelotti's nose.
Ten minutes into the game, under the instructions of Professor Wenger, Li Huan changed his style of play, from the beginning of the cross to the current direct breakthrough, bottom breakthrough, and inward cut breakthrough at the edge of the penalty area.
Ashley at the beginning. Kerr just guards the inside line and generally doesn't easily grab or foul, so he gives Li Huan the opportunity to cross, Ashley. Cole's fame and strength are very strong, and Li Huan doesn't dare to despise him, Ashley. Since Cole took a step back, Li Huan mainly focused on passing and assisting, slowly looking for opportunities to shoot. Li Huan became a forced breakthrough, Li Huan and Ashley. Cole's conversation immediately became intense.
With 13 minutes to go, Joe Cole attacked with the ball, Ashley. Cole plugged in from the sideline, Li Huan retreated to the baseline position, Nasri chased back and followed Joe Cole, and the four of them launched a fierce chase on the side.
Joe Cole is a rare delicate midfielder in Chelsea, he not only has excellent skills, but also imagination, but his speed is average, there is Li Huan in front, and he does not dare to make the ball big, so he has not been able to get rid of Nasri, and saw the front of the Arsenal penalty area, Joe Cole did not cross easily, and passed the ball to Ashley. Cole.
Today's game, Ashley Cole started from the opener, and every touch of the ball drew boos from the Emirates Stadium. Playing in such an environment is a nightmare for anyone. But for Ashley Cole, it all seems to have been taken for granted. After joining Chelsea, he heard such boos almost twice a season, as his team-mates joked with him, and if he didn't hear the boos, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to perform.
Ashley. Cole's assists mainly rely on speed, his speed is faster than the average winger, and when he and Ronaldo started a speed battle on the side, Ronaldo couldn't get rid of Ashley when he ran 50 meters. Cole, visible Ashley. How fast Cole is. But today Cole didn't dare to use speed to break through Li Huan, he knew how fast this guy was, the legendary 10 seconds, Ashley, who was already 29 years old. Naturally, Cole is no longer as curious as a hairy boy to give it a try.
Ashley. Cole stepped on the bicycle, he wanted to shake off Li Huan's center of gravity and then accelerate to break through, but Cole, who is not good at feints, pedaled the bicycle very lamely, almost like the senior brother practicing cycling in "Shaolin Football", which made the Arsenal fans laugh loudly. They didn't believe that such a move would be able to fool the patron saint of their arsenal.
But none of the fans thought of Ashley. Cole's bicycle hadn't stepped on a lap yet, and Li Huan kicked the ball like a stunned head, and everyone was stunned, Ashley. Cole was overjoyed and hurriedly smashed the ball and wanted to dodge, but his joy immediately turned into consternation, he didn't have time to dunk the ball, and was kicked out of the sideline by Li Huan, Ashley. The rain slipped under Cole's feet, and he was also carried to the ground by Li Huan's remaining strength.
Li Huan's simple and rude clearance action also caused a burst of applause from the fans at the scene, but most of this was because Li Huan destroyed Cole's dribbling, which made the fans at the scene feel very happy.
Li Huan's ball finally touched Ashley. Cole's feet, and as a result, the referee also awarded a throw-in to Arsenal for Ashley. Cole compensated his wife and broke his army.
Li Huan's throw-in was not thrown to Nasri, who was closely followed by Joe Cole, and Cesc Fabregas was also closely watched by the over-energetic Essien, who threw the ball directly to Vermaelen and then quickly from Ashley. Cole's side ran away to pick up Vermaelen, lest the kid see that the situation was bad and he would kick him away.
Vermaelen was very well-behaved, and when he saw Li Huan running, he immediately passed the ball to Li Huan, Li Huan seemed to have a long eye behind his back, and directly leaked the ball, then took a step sideways, turned around on the spot, and just shook off Ashley who ran over. Cole, chase the ball behind Cole.
There was another round of applause from the stands, and the Arsenal fans expressed heartfelt joy and pride at the clever pass without even touching the ball.
Shake off Ashley. Cole, Li Huan immediately accelerated along the flanks towards Chelsea's half.
Joe Cole rushed to the side to intercept Li Huan, but Li Huan quickly hit the wall with Nasri, easily shook off Joe Cole, and continued to walk towards the bottom line.
Chelsea midfielder Mikel rushed down the flanks to fill in Ashley. Cole's vacant left-back position.
Li Huan easily got a good opportunity for an assist, how could he let Mikel intercept on the side, he raised his speed to the extreme, and finally rushed to near the bottom line before Mikel made up the defense, and then decisively cut inside.
Carvalho had no choice but to meet it, and at this time, he could no longer care about the leakage in the middle, and he believed in the defensive ability of his teammates and would not let Eduardo and Walcott touch the ball.
Li Huan saw that goalkeeper Cech had moved to the left, and without waiting for Carvalho to arrive, he immediately lifted his foot and shot into the back corner of the goal. The ball flew over Carvalho's head, dodged Cech's fingers, and then over Terry's head and headed straight into the back corner.
