In this kind of top-level matchup, once Arsenal's attack is a little more aggressive and unrestrained, then Arsenal's defense in the middle will have obvious problems.

Cesc Fabregas can't keep an eye on Frank Lampard!

This was something that the Arsenal coaching staff, including the team, could have foreseen before the game.

As the iron man Frank Lampard who is expected to hit the world's No. 1 midfielder in the European Mesozoic Era, to target him, at least a world-class midfielder is needed, and with Fabregas's ability to attack and defend weakly, it is understandable that Lampard will seize the opportunity when he cannot absolutely contain Lampard's forward space.

Before the restart, Qin Xiong went to encourage Cesc Fabregas, hoping that he would not have too much psychological burden.

Cesc Fabregas's mood has calmed down a bit, he is not a defensive player per se, in fact Wenger put him in the midfield position, not simply hoping that he can replace Vieira, Vieira is unique, in Wenger's eyes, Fabregas is also unique.

There is no comparison between the two, and Fabregas actually hopes that he can play the role of a drag playmaker like Pirlo, further amplifying Qin Xiong's offensive breakthrough ability.

In the final minutes of the first half, neither team erupted into a more threatening attack.

Qin Xiong barely managed to get a long-range shot just before half-time, but his shot was a little wide of the goal and did not pose any threat.

The two teams walked into the dressing room with a score of 1:1.

Arsene Wenger stressed in the dressing room that the second half should be used to tear apart Chelsea's defence from the point of left wing-back, no matter what.

The fact is that Chelsea's defence is very solid, and apart from Delno, Arsenal's positional battles are almost impossible to start.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

As soon as Qin Xiong came up, he made a fuss on the left side. Chelsea probably scrupled about Qin Xiongsheng. Fearful, he suddenly shifted his attack to Ljungberg's side. Therefore, the formation of the back line was relatively open, and Qin Xiong and Henry had a slightly complicated attack in the middle, but it was a collision with the wall that the opponent brushed.

Essien's defense of Qin Xiong was like a shadow, Qin Xiong did not physically entangle with Esian at all, passed the ball directly to Henry, and then ran to the vacant position next to Henry.

Carvalho and Terry probably thought that Qin Xiong would make a one-two with Henry, and Henry would slash the ball behind Carvalho, and Qin Xiong would step forward to complete the threat to the goal.

But Qin Xiong stopped after running to Henry's side.

Thierry Henry didn't send a through ball either. He gently pushed the ball sideways, and after Qin Xiong stopped the ball, Carvalho took a step back and immediately went up, not giving Qin Xiong the space to control the ball and get rid of it.

As soon as he took a step forward, Henry immediately leaned behind him, and Carvalho was shocked to discover: wrong! It's still two over one!

But it was not Henry who delivered cannonballs to Qin Xiong, but Qin Xiong who sent them to Henry!

His defensive anticipation and rhythm were out of order, and when Henry rushed past him, Terry and himself couldn't completely block Henry.

Qin Xiong even sent a wonderful pass in front of him with an indifferent face that made Carvalho almost annoyed!

Gear Ball!

It's the crotch of Carvalho, who has been confused!

Thierry Henry was able to counter offside, but the Chelsea back line itself was lagging behind. There wasn't much room left for Henry, and Cech shrewdly abandoned the door early. Henry found himself out of angle after turning the ball, Cech was a metre in front of him, and Henry calmly slotted the ball diagonally with his right foot again in the direction of the baseline, trying to shake off goalkeeper Cech.

Thierry Henry has absolute confidence that if he can get past Cech, even if it's from a zero angle!

He also has the confidence to put the ball inside the goal!

Petr Cech was very solid, he went out of the net but didn't lose his centre of gravity in a hurry, and when Henry's feet were on the smash, he swooped out and reached for the ball that rolled to his side.

It was this seemingly weak hand that flicked the ball, and the football changed direction at a slight rolling angle at Henry's feet, and his forward left foot touched the ball out of the bottom line!

"A world-class showdown! Petr Cech narrowly wins! Arsenal's brilliant attack almost created a chance to score, Henry almost dribbled past Cech, Cech calmly fell to the ground to destroy the ball, and did not lose a corner to the opponent, although it was an offensive and defensive duel without a shot, but it was a real battle of strength! In this round, Cech wins! ”

Thierry Henry looked a little regretful, while Cech was picked up by Carvalho and then padded by Terry's head.

The spectators in the stands held their breath and felt a little suffocated when they saw the duel between Henry and Cech.

Chelsea soon returned the game and organised a strong attack.

Duff swooped forward on the left flank and cut through immediately before encountering Eboue.

His change of direction will naturally attract Fabregas's attention and contain Fabregas's defence at the back line.

As soon as Cesc Fabregas sideways the flank, Duff immediately played the ball down the middle.

Frank Lampard, who followed up, saw Qin Xiong, who was not far away in a defensive posture.

He ran forward with a focused expression, when the football rolled in, he kicked the ball directly, and the football rolled past Qin Xiong, Qin Xiong could only look at the ball and sigh, he didn't have time to stick to Lampard in the first place, how could the top midfielder be easily targeted?

And Lampard's kick of the ball simply did not give Qin Xiong any chance to defend.

He could only turn and run into the box to defend further, while also pointing out to Fabregas to Frank Lampard, meaning that Fabregas should be wary of Lampard cutting in from behind.

Silva turned to pick up Drogba, who had received a pass from Frank Lampard.

But Drogba handled the ball in a way that was simply brutal.

Turn around 180 degrees and smash the ball and rush behind you!

The demonic beast's eyes were cold, and his whole body exuded a strong aura.

Because he knew that it was Senderos who was guarding him close to him!

The only difficulty is that the ball must not touch Senderos's foot, otherwise it will bounce or refract elsewhere.

As for whether Senderos grabbed his position after turning around, Drogba smiled inwardly: That's not a problem at all!

His smash was well timed, Senderos didn't react at all, the football rolled past Senderos's feet and rolled behind him, Senderos turned almost synchronously with Drogba, but when he took a step to chase the ball, Drogba's strong body directly crushed over!

It seems to be tearing him off the line of chasing the ball little by little!

The growth of Warcraft is absolutely amazing and terrifying!

Just when Drogba thought he had won, the football in front of him was destroyed by a foot that flew sideways and touched the ground with a sliding tackle!

The ball rolled towards the Arsenal goal, and Lehmann hurriedly kicked the ball off the touchline.

Drogba looked up to the sky and sighed, extremely unwilling.

He looked down at Flamini, who was getting up from the ground in front of him, and it was his late goal of collecting the inside and decisively sliding to destroy the ball that deprived Drogba of a good chance to finish the shot against Lehmann! (To be continued......)
