On April 15, when the referee blew the whistle at Highbury Stadium in London, the audience fell silent, and even the Gunners' diehards became silent, because what they were expecting was a sniper battle, but who would have thought that in the end it would turn out to be a game exclusive to the Red Rebels.

Jose Mourinho did not stay motivated for the upcoming Champions League, but instead played as much as he could in this crucial game.

The striker is Didier Drogba, the two wingers are Ronaldo Jr. and Arjen Robben, the front is Kaka, the double midfielders are Cesc Fabregas and Essien, the back line is Evra, Terry, Nemanja Vidic and Alves from left to right, and the goalkeeper is Cech.

Arsene Wenger's side have the advantage in the fixture schedule and with De Roysden already secure a place in the UEFA Cup, they will have to settle for a second place against Tottenham for the next fixture, which makes them take this game very seriously.

Yes, maybe the UEFA Cup is a drop in the bucket for Arsenal, which is now stuck in a difficult new stadium and the club's financial burden is heavy, but in fact, if they can't even get into the UEFA Cup, everyone can see what kind of predicament Arsenal will face.

The Gunners' board of directors is said to be already considering a funding injection from the outside world, which will also further improve the Gunners' finances.

But in any case, Arsenal has gone from being a strong contender for last year's title to now in the middle of the rankings, and the dissatisfaction of the fans is understandable, but fortunately, most fans have not lost their minds, and they know very well that it is not that Arsenal has regressed too much, but that the overall strength of the Premier League has improved too much.

Just like in this game, the Red Rebels almost didn't give Arsenal any chance from start to finish.

The Premier League's arguably most spectatorial team dominated the midfield from the start of the game, and despite Arsenal's struggles, they were unable to withstand the Red Rebels' frenzied attack, with Arjen Robben opening the scoring, followed by Didier Drogba and Arsenal's Thierry Henry pulling a goal back for the Gunners.

Arsenal, who once saw the hope of equalising, completely lost their fighting spirit after Kaka's goal, and the next game became a stage for Mourinho to train young players, and in this game, Cesc Fabregas's scheduling and command in the midfield were greatly appreciated, and Wenger was on the sidelines to see the blood in his heart.

Transfers of Nasri and Rosicky failed to adapt to the Premier League's style, especially in this game, when the midfield they controlled was ravaged by the Red Rebels, which ultimately led to a 3-1 home defeat.

Commenting on his team-mates after the game, Thierry Henry said the current state of the squad was a cause for concern, with young players unable to take on the responsibilities and a large number of current stars being separated, leaving Arsenal facing a lack of success, which, combined with the rapid rise of other rivals, has left Arsenal even in contention for the UEFA Cup this season.

'I'm sorry about the situation we're in and I want to change that, but it's up to the club and I hope the team can show enough ambition next season to turn things around!'

Many reporters have guessed a hint from Henry's remarks, that is, the Frenchman, who is the second highest scorer in the Premier League this season, has been disappointed by Arsenal's uncompetitive performance and signings, and if the club continues to do so next season, he will consider leaving.

The Frenchman has never been short of markets, and if he makes a stand for leaving Arsenal, many teams including Chelsea, Manchester City, Barcelona, Real Madrid and many others will covet him, and Arsene Wenger can also trade Thierry Henry for a transfer fee to further transform the team.

As for the Red Rebels, everyone is rated as solid, with Kaka leading the scorers chart with 28 goals, which is an absolutely staggering number for a midfielder, especially when he also has double-digit assists.

Cesc Fabregas has taken on the vacancy since David Beckham's departure, and he and Michael? Johnson's performances are very exciting, the Spaniard is more delicate and can bring more variety to the Red Rebels, while the English genius can bring hardness to the Red Rebels midfield, and his hard work and blood surname are the most advantageous weapons for the Red Rebels to defeat strong opponents repeatedly.

Dutchman Arjen Robben was the hero of the game, although the main position this season was occupied by the Argentine genius Messi, but the Dutchman still performed eye-catching, especially after suffering a serious injury last season, this season's performance proved to the world that the Dutch Peter Pan has returned to his best form and has gone further.

After the win over Arsenal, the Red Rebels did not return to Manchester, instead staying in London to prepare for the first meeting of Chelsea's Champions League.

…………………… Chelsea are currently fifth in the Premier League and have already dropped out of the Champions League qualification zone, with Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City above them, which is undoubtedly difficult for defending champions Chelsea to accept.

There have been predictions from the outside world, it is said that UEFA is somewhat unexpected about the intensity and strength of the Premier League this season, especially the improvement of the overall strength of the Premier League, and they are also very concerned about Chelsea, the Premier League upstart, once a UEFA official who did not want to be named said that Chelsea has considerable influence in the world.

'If they can't get a Champions League qualification, maybe they can win the Champions Cup so we can have a good reason to make an exception for them, otherwise they have to go to the UEFA Cup!'

No one knows where the news came from, but the news has been acknowledged by a number of authoritative media in Europe, which means that unless Chelsea can finish in the top four in the league, they will have to win the championship this season if they want to reach the Champions League.

Both things are very, very difficult, they are at a disadvantage in the league, after all, Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City are stable, and it is undoubtedly difficult for them to make mistakes at critical moments, and the Red Rebels are even more determined to win the championship, and in the Champions League, not to mention the Red Rebels in the semi-finals, even if they reach the final, they meet either AC Milan and Barcelona, Chelsea is not sure of winning.

It is said that Carlo Ancelotti personally met with Abou and had an open conversation, saying that he wants to continue to fight on two fronts, and it is best to win the European Champions Cup and obtain double insurance while keeping the league.

It was for this reason that Carlo Ancelotti arranged substitutes for the away game against Bolton, still won 0-2 away, and then concentrated on returning to home to prepare for the game against the Red Rebels.

But for Carlo Ancelotti, he has the same problem as Mourinho, that is, attack, or defense?

Some say that Chelsea is famously the home of the devil, and at Stamford Bridge, Carlo Ancelotti's side have hardly lost a game, and its hell is no less than that of the Red Rebels, so the visitors who come here are basically on the defensive.

Shevchenko, Crespo, Joe Cole, Lampard, Deco, Ballack, Emerson...... They have proven themselves at Stamford Bridge and are fighting for the glory of Stamford Bridge.

The attacking combination of this group of world-class players has almost terrified the whole of Europe, even on the road, Ancelotti's concept of "control instead of defense" is enough to ensure that the home team does not dare to attack easily, and let Chelsea have the advantage on the field, and then through these powerful stars, the advantage is turned into a scoreline.

But this time, Ancelotti encountered the Red Rebels, whose attack power is the best in the world!

Drogba, Villa, Ronaldo, Messi, Kaka, Robben, Ribery...... The attacking line made up of a group of world-class stars has made the Red Rebels known as the best attacking team in the world, and the Red Rebels are very good at controlling, allowing the Red Rebels to focus on their football philosophy, no matter who the opponent is.

"So, what kind of tactics will Mourinho adopt when he visits Stamford Bridge this time?" Carlo Ancelotti asked his aides such a question during the tactical discussion.

Everyone's brows were tightly furrowed, because they had to guess Mourinho, who was hailed as the most unpredictable by football people all over the world, and the Portuguese almost never let people guess his thoughts.

In the first leg of the away game, the attack can win away goals; Defence can avoid conceding goals, no matter how you choose, there is nothing to blame, and correspondingly, if the Red Rebels attack, Chelsea has two options, the first is to play the attack, but the risk can be imagined; The second is the defensive counterattack.

Of course, if the Red Rebels defend and counter-attack, then Chelsea's tactics will be much simpler, and they can safely press out and play and then adjust to the situation when the time comes.

An Fatzi swept over his assistants and found that they were speechless, and sighed secretly in his heart.

Despite being an opponent, he has to admit that the Red Rebels are so strong that people feel helpless, and there are even rumors that the Red Rebels may become the first team to successfully defend the title since the European Champions League was restructured.

Why?

Take a look at the Red Rebels' excellent form this season, but they have continued to make gains on multiple fronts, especially after the second half of the season after the torture of the devil's schedule, the team has not collapsed, but has exploded into a surprising fighting force.

"Jose Mourinho, how did you manage to develop such a near-perfect team?"

Ancelotti didn't dare to say what was in his heart, after all, the Red Rebels are now rivals, but he is also very clear about one thing, that is, the Russian tycoon above him has always hoped that he can train Chelsea into the Red Rebels, and he can even wave rubles at any cost for this and attract reinforcements.

It's very, very tough to be a rebel, and the least thing is that Carlo Ancelotti has to win at home.

In the first leg of the league, Chelsea drew 1-1 at home to the Red Rebels, and Abu was unhappy with that game, and now if he fails to win again, he may be waiting for Abu's stinky face that is as cold as the North Pole.

"Stabilize the first 10 minutes, try to control the game and the tempo, be safe, and see what Mourinho plans to open first!" Despite having to win at home, Carlo Ancelotti was reluctant to take any chances.

On the other hand, in the conference room of the hotel where the Red Rebels stayed, Mourinho surprisingly arranged the opening three axes!

........................'I want to attack after the start, the most unbridled attack, the two wings to suppress Chelsea's full-backs, especially Pacos Ferreira, who is Chelsea's weakness, and Ashley? Cole, don't let him get in the way, Leo! 'Jose Mourinho arranged the tactics for this game.

Messi nodded yes, he will start as a right winger in this game, and opposite him is Ashley at left wing-back? Cole, Messi's task is to use his aggressive attack to suppress Ashley? Cole, so that he did not dare to step forward easily.

'Chelsea's wide attack relies on full-backs and once the wings are restricted, their attack is mostly weakened, but in the middle, Ricciardo, Didier, you have to give enough support and cooperation!'

Kaka and Drogba both kept nodding their heads, and they didn't need Mourinhodo to say it, they knew very well how to support and cooperate with the two wings, which is the tacit understanding they have built up in the team over the years.

"You may think in your heart that my attacking tactics after the opening game are risky, but let me tell you, guys, we have the proudest attacking combination in Europe, we have the most coveted backline in the world, we have the number one goalkeeper in the world, we have the capital to stick to our football philosophy!"

After a pause, Mourinho paced slowly, patting a player on the shoulder every time he passed them.

'Some people say it's hard to play away from home but I don't think it's difficult away at all because there are so many options available to us and I'm not afraid of Chelsea playing against us because then we're going to score more away goals, which is definitely something Carlo Ancelotti doesn't want to see.

With the same attacking power, anyone can see what awaits Chelsea if they get more away goals from the Red Rebels, unless they can win by a dominant margin, but it will undoubtedly be very difficult.

'An away goal can almost dominate two legs, it puts us in the best position and when the time comes, whether it's going to attack or defend, Chelsea will have a lot of headaches, and we can look at it with a much more relaxed attitude, so what I ask of you is simple!'

Mourinho made a dull thud as his hands lay heavily on the table in front of the tactical board.

'Guys, after the opening we attacked, unbridled attack, I don't ask for much, I just want you to score a goal faster and earlier than Chelsea, a crucial away goal, and then we will be completely dominated by this game and then we will go to the Champions League final!'
