Chapter 195: Like Bill Gates
'Remaier's absence will be Chelsea's biggest hole because after Thiago was sent to Lyon, Chelsea simply had two authentic midfield combinations that could take on Arsenal's midfield. Although the youngster Essien is excellent in Lyon, I believe that Mourinho will not arrange him to start so early, and the run-in problem with the team and the Premier League style is still a problem that the Ghanaian youngster needs to solve in the next period of time.
The Arsenal side also ushered in a huge change, and the sudden departure of captain Vieira made this new Arsenal team greatly questioned by the outside world. The Spanish youngster Cesc Fabregas, who was pushed into the main midfield position by Arsene Wenger, may be very good and has great potential. But can he really take Vieira's place?! We have a huge question mark over that and this Community Shield game against Chelsea will be Cesc Fabregas' first big test.
Oh, and the starting lineups for both teams are out, so let's see. Oh, Jose Mourinho changed his formation and Chelsea went into a 4-3-3 formation for this game, with the Ghanaian youngster getting a starting spot in his first game at Chelsea. He, Claude Makelele and Frank Lampard will make up Chelsea's midfield trio, while Arjen Robben and Duff have been thrust into the wingers.
It has to be said that this is a big adventure, let's look forward to what kind of debut Essien will give. …… Roar, look who this is! Chelsea's King Remair was in the centre of the Chelsea supporters' stand. Oh, and he got a sweet kiss from a little female fan, and looking at the way he smiled, it seemed that he didn't seem to be worried at all about the lack of himself in the team. ……”
Before the official start of the game, Lao Lei, who appeared in the fan stands, attracted enough attention. The frenzy he brought last season with his undeniable brilliance is still alive and well. Even now. As soon as he appeared in public, he would be chased and stopped by many fans and media. During this time. People have become accustomed to talking about his one-sided life, from football to private life. All his qiē has become a topic of conversation in the outside world.
Even though Ray was already familiar with this kind of sought-after star treatment, at the moment he was still overwhelmed by the frenzy of Chelsea fans. "My injury is almost over, I believe I won't miss the first league game, thank you for your concern." After sending away the nth person who came up to greet and care about his injury, Lao Lei finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then sat down in his place with a limp buttocks.
Thankfully, Chelsea fans weren't as pestering the media as they were, and they left as soon as they got autographs and group photos. Didn't pester Lao Lei anymore. Otherwise, Lao Lei has to consider whether he should not go to the general audience to watch the game in the future. Even if he thinks that only by watching the game here is he really watching the game.
Soon after he finally sat down, players from both sides began to enter the pitch. On the big screen at the scene, the tense faces of the players on both sides showed the confrontation and unfriendly atmosphere between the two teams. It seems that the fanning of the media before the game still played a role, so that both teams paid attention to this warm-up game. In addition to regretting that he could not play in this game, Lao Lei deliberately observed Essien's state. After a period of individual training. I also have a different expectation for Essien Lao Lei. And the result of observation is that Lao Lei is satisfied, peaceful and full of confidence. "Looks like nothing is wrong, boy. I'm looking forward to your apprenticeship. Old Lei thought with an evil smile.
Then, after a short pre-match ceremony, the '05 Community Shield officially began. After the start of the game. The tactics of both sides in this game are completely clear. Chelsea, who had retracted from the formation, played a counter-attack, while Arsenal continued to insist on attacking football. Let's be honest. Such an arrangement was not unexpected by Lao Lei. For him, he can pat his chest without modesty. "I'm half Chelsea's offense and defence".
With this pride, after watching the game for 5 minutes, Lao Lei let go of the only little worry in his heart. In those five minutes, Chelsea were on the back foot in all the stats, but their defence remained unbreakable. After entering the zone 30 metres from Chelsea's goal, Chelsea's concrete-like defence kept Arsenal out of the danger zone. With Essien's tireless running and ferocious defence, it didn't look like there were any flaws on the defensive end. He, the three-man line of Claude Makelele and Frank Lampard became an impenetrable wall for Arsenal during that time.
Although this short time of 5 minutes does not tell the whole game. Arsenal are not yet fully in shape, which is also a big reason for the current situation. But in Lao Lei's opinion, the five-minute game can at least guarantee that Arsenal will not have too much fun throughout the game. If you add Chelsea's famous lightning counterattack, Lao Lei unceremoniously said that this Chelsea team can already be on par with this Arsenal team even without him. If you look at it from the perspective of stability, it can even win.
With this judgment and confidence, Lao Lei's mind began to develop in other aspects, that is, to look forward to how Essien would earn him guilt points. If it is said that at this time, the voice of all Chelsea fans is "Stop! Counterattack! Goal! words. That old Lei's heart at this time was: "Provoke him!" Shovel him! Trick him! It's better to let him go straight away, no matter how you use it! "A classic tone of a dark villain.
Perhaps he really heard the voice of Lao Lei, the temporary teacher, and Esin on the court soon really did so, meeting his teacher's ardent expectations and becoming a "filial" disciple. In the 11th minute of the first half, Arsenal's attack at this time has gradually begun to sharpen. With a number of young starters in the squad, Arsenal's overall attack has become noticeably more bloody and sharp. This is evident in Cesc Fabregas's aggressive pressing, and if Patrick Vieira had been present, he would not have been as aggressive or rough as he was.
But radical is radical, even Lao Lei in the stands can't help but admit it in his heart. The Spaniard could be spotted by Arsene Wenger for the task of replacing Patrick Vieira. Definitely deserved. Compared to Patrick Vieira, Cesc Fabregas's intimidation and defensive strength in midfield may not be as strong as the departed captain. But in areas such as passing organisation and back-cutting offense. He's definitely more than enough, and he can even stabilize his head.
And this time, it was the typical Fabregas back attack. After several attacks failed to achieve good results, this time he suddenly changed the pace and cut in at high speed near the midfield. His move temporarily upset the balance between attack and defense at the edge of the Chelsea penalty area. He, Robin van Persie and Andreas Pire played Arsenal's signature flashy small-scale combination at this point, which caused a loosening of the Chelsea defence.
Among them, Van Persie's wonderful leak and beautiful false shot of the Chelsea defence. Fabregas behind him easily got the football. At this point, Cesc Fabregas was only 26 metres away from Petr Cech and was already within his range. His next move suggests that he intends to do the same. After slamming the ball on the inside of his right foot, it was immediately a standard three-step adjustment and a standard long-range stance.
And just when Gunners fans were expecting their no.15 to soothe their fears with a beautiful goal, a black and hard thing that came into their eyes shattered their wonderful illusions. And the direct result of this is: Gunners fans booed wildly. Their boos were more timely than the referee's whistle, and if it weren't for the referee's gestures, it is estimated that the spectators at the scene would not know what kind of penalty the referee made.
Set-pieces and verbal warnings, the referee on duty did not go straight to warn Essien as Arsenal had hoped. And this is a direct guide. The boos from Arsenal fans have risen a notch again. The fanning of the media before the game not only filled the players of the two teams with the smell of gunpowder, but also mobilized the hostility between the fans on both sides. At this time the table of Arsenal fans xiàn. It's as if it's not Chelsea who are against them on the pitch right now, it's their century-old rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
But they weren't happy. Chelsea fans were naturally delighted. Although it was a foul, it was not a successful defense. But that doesn't stop them from making a good first impression of the new black and this team. At this point, there are even Chelsea fans who say the £24.4 million that the team spent on Essien in the summer is worth it, which is a good impression. And their reason is simple: "It's a man's tackle!" Very decisive, very brave, very imposing! Not bad! ”。
Such a reason may seem somewhat irrational and even absurd, but it is reasonable in England. Because English football is more about skill, discipline and even imagination, what they ask for is simple, and that is the mental will and temperament of a player, or to put it simply, the temperament of a tough guy. And Essien's table for that tackle just now is undoubtedly in line with this. Not to mention, he didn't show any weakness to the Arsenal players when he got up, which made him even more popular with Chelsea fans.
However, at this time, if you want to say that you like Essien the most and are most satisfied, I am afraid that even Mourinho on the sidelines is not as good as Lao Lei in the stands.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host Tong Guò disciple system for gaining 1% Sin! It reminded him that he was already like Bill Gates, sitting and counting the wonderful sounds of income, almost making the corners of his mouth grin behind his ears.
And then, he is not a stingy person to express his feelings.
At this point, he suddenly stood up from his seat, and then vigorously applauded his palms. Although the noisy scene swallowed his applause, as long as people saw his intense movements and expressions, they could guess what a sincere and passionate applause it was.
At the same time, he kept nodding to the surrounding Chelsea fans, signaling: "If you don't give me applause at this time, what are you waiting for?!" ”
With him at the helm, from sparse to dense, Essien soon received a collective applause from the Chelsea fans. It was a neat scene that looked like what an astonishing goal Essien had scored.
At this time, Lao Lei is like a big leader! In the crowd with people, take responsibility and lead everyone!
What a posture!! (To be continued......) R1292
