Arsene Wenger glanced at a high-spirited Mourinho before resuming the kick-off.

He silently turned and walked to the bench, called Van Persie to his feet, and then asked the assistant coach to submit the substitution list.

Piret was substituted.

Van Persie is on the scene.

In the minds of the fans, this is a positive sign.

At least in terms of attacking tendencies, Van Persie is more inclined to attack the goal, while Pire is a more well-rounded wide player.

That said, Arsenal have increased the number of strikers.

It looks like the team is fighting for a win.

But the Arsenal players on the pitch understood: Arsene Wenger was playing a trick.

Replacing Van Persie is not a signal to strengthen the attack, but to strengthen the defense.

Perhaps because it was Christmas Day, Arsenal were in Highbury and could not afford to be too cowardly in the closing stages of the game.

Or maybe the actual situation is also a protracted battle with Chelsea, and Arsenal's overall strength may not be an opponent.

Jose Mourinho was thrilled to see the substitution.

Will Arsenal step up their attack?

Oh, good, good!

Jose Mourinho is not afraid of Arsenal's attack, he is never afraid of any team's attack, because Chelsea is the team that lives behind the opponent's attack!

But when the game restarted, he watched the game for 5 minutes, and his face suddenly changed.

O Malegobi!

Voyeur Wenger, play Lao Tzu!

Robin van Persie came on and almost formed a double striker with Thierry Henry.

However, Ljungberg retreated to increase the defense of the back line, Qin Xiong sat in the central midfield, and Henry and Van Persie were very high. The back line that pressed Chelsea was ready to take advantage of attacking opportunities.

Arsenal's overall formation is actually an increase in the number of players in defence. The posture has become anti-reverse.

Chelsea were embarrassed.

In the case of Qin Xiong and Cesc Fabregas as the core ball-handler in the middle. Who will Chelsea rely on to steal the ball?

Because Arsenal began to control the scene, if they can't create a clear attacking opportunity, Arsenal will not suddenly attack, or when there is a good opportunity to threaten the opponent with a long shot, they will end the attack, which has a big premise: the stability of the defensive line!

The embarrassment for Chelsea is that with Frank Lampard alone, can Drogba succeed in counter-attacking up front?

Essien and Makelele are not going to rush forward and stay away from the defensive zone. It is inevitable to defend Henry and Van Persie with the back line, and if you are an ordinary opponent, you can also take a risk, but against Arsenal, you really don't dare!

It's not that Joe Cole and Arjen Robben can't get involved in the frontcourt counter-attack.

First of all, the efficiency of the anti-robbery is very low, and they are not doing this kind of work themselves.

In addition, Robben also has problems with physical fitness, and now he only participates in the offense, and the defense does not care at all.

Mourinho's face turned blue when he saw this.

-!

Arsene Wenger used a Van Persie to cover up Arsenal's change in attacking and defensive stance, which can give Gunners fans who are celebrating the New Year a proper explanation. It can also stabilize the situation when the situation is already unfavorable.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Top teams, games that don't want to win. It's really hard to lose!

Does Jose Mourinho dare to bet?

Don't look at Arsenal now with the ball, but the situation is in the hands of Chelsea.

As long as Chelsea break through the cauldron and attack, Chelsea may not have a chance to beat Arsenal.

After all, Sendros on the Arsenal back line was bullied by Drogba and handed over his knee long ago.

It's just that Chelsea is more afraid of Henry, Qin Xiong doesn't need to run long distances to create a killing opportunity in the central midfield position, maybe there is an obvious gap in the Chelsea backline, and he can create a goal with Henry with a precise through ball!

If it is defeated by Arsenal, it will be equivalent to Chelsea being beaten by Arsenal in the league this season!

Jose Mourinho could not afford such a heavy result.

He watched with gloom as the game came to an end in a thunderous and rainy offensive.

"At the end of the game, the defending champion Arsenal faced Chelsea in the second place in the standings in the Christmas battle, after 90 minutes of fierce and exciting battles, the two teams shook hands with a score of 2:2, the home and away games in the league between the two teams this season have ended, Arsenal has achieved a dominant record of 1 win and 1 draw, which makes Arsenal still lead the standings with a 4-point advantage, for Chelsea, this is certainly not the time of despair, there are still 20 rounds of the league! Three days later, the second game of the Christmas Express battle will be staged, and what kind of answer will the two teams hand over in the short-term devil's schedule? Let's wait and see, audience, and before we say goodbye, we wish you all a Happy New Year! ”

When the game was over, the Chelsea players looked the same as their manager Jose Mourinho, unwilling and a little depressed.

Arsenal fans were quickly relieved from the stands at Highbury, and although they were a little disappointed not to win the game, they were able to get a draw, and the advantage of two league meetings with Chelsea was enough to have a happy Christmas.

Qin Xiong was surprised to see Frank Lampard walking towards him, and Lampard walked up to him with a natural expression and asked for a shirt exchange.

Qin Xiong took off his jersey, and the two handed each other their jerseys at the same time, and then turned around and left, but tacitly gave each other a thumbs up.

They are not only the heart of the midfield between rivals in the Premier League.

And it is also a competitor to the world's No. 1 midfielder.

After this year's Ballon d'Or ceremony, Zidane announced his retirement after the 2006 World Cup, which seemed to represent the end of an era is coming, so what surfaced was the conjecture and concern of the new generation and the new king of the Mesozoic generation.

Qin Xiong has been listed by the European media as one of the contenders for the king of European midfield in the new generation!

The moment when Frank Lampard and Frank Lampard each took each other's shirts and turned around and gave each other a thumbs up was captured by many photographers on the sidelines, and it was listed as one of the classic images of the Premier League.

Arsene Wenger said in an interview after the game that he regretted not winning the game and that he had nothing else to comment on, saying that he was out of sight of Chelsea and Jose Mourinho.

Anyway, the league has been played, as for other venues, the FA Cup game, Arsenal is powerless, really meet Chelsea, maybe they will give up with half resistance, it is really the thickness of the bench and the other party can not be compared, if it is the Champions League again, then then it will be said.

He now has his eyes set on the devil's schedule ahead.

Mourinho complained a few words when he left Highbury, on the one hand, he put pressure on his boss Abou, hoping to spend more money to strengthen the squad so as not to continue to escalate the left wing-back's hard injury, and on the other hand, he sarcastically said that Arsenal did not have the determination and will to win at home.
