'Palace had a chance to counter-attack after conceding the goal, Colka received the ball on the left, broke past Ashley Cole, dribbled quickly down the left, Arsenal's defence kept dropping back, it was a good chance'

"Kolo Toure left his position and was ready to go up, Kolka crossed diagonally, Rishilahti cut in quickly, and fired a direct volley, beautiful, the ball went in"

"Less than l minutes after Arsenal scored, Crystal Palace took advantage of a very fast counterattack, a 45-degree diagonal pass from Kolka on the left side, Rihi Laherty hit a powerful volley at the edge of the penalty area to equalize for Crystal Palace, it was a very beautiful counterattack, Arsenal's defense was completely broken"

With the shouts of the on-site commentators, Arsene Wenger looked grim in front of the visiting coach's box at Selhurst Park at Crystal Palace, and at the moment when Rihi Laherty scored, he could not hide the flickering disappointment in his eyes.

How many times have they conceded?

Seven days ago, they challenged Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane and ushered in the north London derby, although Arsenal finally won against Tottenham Hotspur, but the score of 4 undoubtedly made Arsenal's defense very embarrassing, and even many people felt that if Arsenal failed to win the championship in the end, it must be dead in their own defense.

In fact, Arsenal's defensive problems have been there since the beginning of this season, and this old problem has been revealed last season, even after a summer, Wenger has not had a good solution, because Wenger has been busy reassuring Vieira and bringing in Arteta all summer.

In the end, Patrick Vieira stayed, Mikel Arteta didn't, but the team's problems were not resolved well.

It's still two ribs, it's still a 45-degree diagonal pass, it's still a gap between the central defender and the wingback, it's an old problem, but it's made Arsenal pay a painful price again and again, and Wenger doesn't have a good solution for the time being, after all, the game after game, there is no time for him to slowly adjust and try.

Standing in front of the away team's dugout, he clearly felt that the morale of the team was constantly running.

A month ago, Arsenal was the most morale and fighting team in the Premier League, and at that time Arsenal was invincible, not only leading Chelsea by 5 points, but also sweeping almost all opponents, attacking like a tide, like a bamboo, but now, Arsenal seems to have become a broken drum that can be beaten randomly.

This is the professional league, when your tactical problems are exposed and discovered by everyone, that is when you are fatal, so in this game, Crystal Palace even directly let Kolka start.

The former PSV Eindhoven player has not performed well in the past few years, and has been mainly substitutes since coming to Crystal Palace, but this game was given a start, the reason is simple, it is to use his ability on the wing, to use him to attack Arsenal's weakness, and it worked

From leading by 5 points to leading by 1 point, and now the situation is precarious, Arsenal can be said to have fallen from heaven to hell, and Wenger himself feels a little frustrated, let alone this group of players?

'Received news that Chelsea are now 30 ahead of Fulham at Craven Cottage' assistant Pat Rice walked up to Arsene Wenger's side, carefully reminding the French manager that Arsenal must fight.

Wenger was stunned, and the look on his face became more and more serious and dignified, because he knew very well what this meant, Fulham could not reverse Chelsea again, and there was not even the possibility of an equaliser, and if Arsenal could not win Crystal Palace, then they would give up the position of the leader.

"Damn, they've been going crazy lately," Pat Rice grumbled helplessly.

Indeed, in recent rounds, Chelsea have been beating their opponents non-stop, from 0 to Blackburn, the team's form seems to be crazy, winning consecutive victories, this one has only been UU for more than a minute now, and 30 leads, if nothing happens, at least a three-goal victory.

After hearing this, Wenger squeezed out a bitter smile, isn't Chelsea's state the same as Arsenal in the early part of the season? The difference is that feng shui rotates, with Arsenal in the early stages of the season in the limelight, and now it's Chelsea's turn.

In fact, strictly speaking, the state of all teams is the same, there are ups and downs, and the secret of competing for the league is not a big secret, the royal road is that you can beat your opponent when you are in good shape, and how to grab points when you are not in good shape.

Wenger has always regarded Chelsea as a big problem, a very important reason is that Ye Qiu's scoring efficiency is very high, even if Chelsea is not in good shape after the start, but the Blues still grab points in every round, bite Arsenal tightly, create pressure on the Gunners, and create a foundation for the next catch-up and overtake.

In fact, Arsenal's current situation is not too bad, but there is a very serious problem, that is, there are too many draws.

It's not that Arsenal's offensive ability is not good, but the opponent has begun to obviously target Arsenal's weakness to arrange defense, it's like two people fighting, your death hole is pinched by the other party, how can you do your best to attack the other party? You're always distracted to guard against your own weaknesses, aren't you?

When it comes to Arsenal itself, many people say that Arsenal should keep pace with the times, abandon the 44 style of play, and instead adopt a 3L or 433 tactic that is more in line with modern football, but Wenger also has his own worries, that is, the characteristics of the players.

44 is very mediocre and balanced, there is no big highlight, it is the most balanced set of tactics in all tactics to occupy the space area of the court, from front to back and from left to right, it is very balanced, unlike 43Ef, the distance between wingers and fullbacks is so long, and it is not like 4Ef that dilutes the threat of attacking on the wings.

It can be said that there are no significant drawbacks, but there are also no big highlights.

If you carefully analyze Arsenal's midfielders, neither Pire nor Ljungberg are fast horse-type players on the wing, on the contrary, these two wide players are characterized by two ribs, which is why so many people say that Arsenal's attack is two ribs.

In the absence of a suitable winger, playing 433 is undoubtedly looking for death, because 433 not only requires a lot of physical fitness and tactical literacy of players, but also has high requirements for wide players, which Arsenal does not have.

What can be predicted is that if Arsenal are tough to play 43, then the gap between Pire and Ljungberg and the two full-backs on the left and right will be exposed, and the opponent will still grasp this point to play, what is the difference between this and 44? Just change the soup or not the medicine? And you have to take the risks and adaptation problems that come with changing formations, is it worth it?

Considering that Pire and Ljungberg are more like full-backs, if Arsenal wants to continue to maintain their smooth passing and receiving coordination, with the current whole tactical system, 45L will be a good choice, 5 midfielders are actually 44 changes, and Wenger makes Bergkamp retreat from time to time, which is actually playing 45

To fill the gaps in the current squad's defence, the last midfielder who could protect his ribs with Gilberto Silva was ideal, but with the removal of a striker, the team's progress was a problem as Arsenal did not have a tactical fulcrum in front of them.

Is Henry a tactical pivot? None of those who knew Henry would feel that way

The French striker has outstanding individual ability and skill level, but you have to walk on the ground, and his skill and speed advantage has to be shown by the distance from the defender, which limits his ability as a tactical centre-forward.

Even Wenger feels that a very important reason why Henry can't gain a foothold in Serie A is that he is not used to the ubiquitous tactical restrictions and controls of Serie A.

A lot of the time, the manager can decide how to play, but the players are also dictating the team's tactics, and unless Arsene Wenger wants to make a drastic overhaul and restructure the squad, he can't change the line-up.

Wenger is not envious of Ye Qiu, he just thinks that Ye Qiu is like a backpacker who is easy on the road, he can change as much as he wants, maybe when he reorganized Chelsea, he considered that 43l would play for a year, but Wenger is obviously not good, he is now covered with luggage, so heavy that he is a little out of breath, and if he wants to turn around, he has to be tired and sweaty.

When he thought of this, Wenger couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart again, he didn't even dare to let people find out about his sigh now, and after seeing that the situation in the team had not changed much, he immediately walked to the sidelines, kept calling for the players to continue pressing, and at the same time called Bergkamp.

At the critical moment, the ice prince is still reliable

Soon, Arsene Wenger replaced Ljungberg with Bergkamp and let Reyes play on the wing, Bergkamp appropriately dropped back to support the midfield, and Vieira dropped back a little more to help protect the defence.

Especially in the past two years, with the seduction of Vieira by real Madrid, Chelsea and other giants, Wenger has also clearly felt Vieira's growing temper, especially in Keane's gradual fading out of the ranks of top midfielders, and the French midfielder has become the best midfielder in the Premier League and even Europe.

With the skyrocketing fame, Vieira's temper has also risen, coupled with the addition of Gilberto Silva, Wenger's adjustment of the midfield, Vieira began to take on more and more organizational and offensive tasks, and the French back is getting better and better, but also more and more impetuous, especially this summer to switch to Real Madrid, which made him completely out of shape.

Although Vieira has regained some form and performed well not long ago, he is now completely worse and worse with the team's slump, and he no longer has the hard work that swept the midfield in the past, and has lost his tenacious fighting spirit.

Perhaps, this is the common problem that players will have after the big names

Or maybe I should have been decisive and let him go as early as the summer

Arsene Wenger was on the sidelines, looking at Patrick Vieira on the pitch, and for the first time that thought crossed his mind.

When players are big, they are prone to lack fighting spirit and hunger for victory, the most obvious is the group of superstars of Real Madrid

Despite Arsene Wenger's three changes in the hope that the team could turn things around, Palace were clearly prepared for this, defending perfectly and not giving Arsenal the slightest chance, and after the equaliser, they also seemed to lose the idea of continuing to attack, and were more of a symbolic harassment tactic.

In the end, Arsenal drew away to Crystal Palace.

To the dismay and disappointment of all Arsenal fans, Chelsea thrashed Fulham 0 away

When the Premier League ended on 13 July, all the newspapers the next day were invariably crazy about Chelsea's recent form, as they were thoroughly attacking with such a powerful force.

From 0 wins over Blackburn Rovers, 0 wins over West Bromwich Albion, 0 wins over Everton and 0 wins over Fulham, Chelsea have won four in a row in the last four rounds of the Premier League, and have scored 19 goals and conceded an astonishing record, which has to be said to have shocked the whole of Europe.

Not only that, Chelsea also ushered in two consecutive wins in the League Cup, and in the round of 16 knockout match against Newcastle, even though Ye Qiu arranged most of the substitutes and young players to play, he still defeated Souness's Newcastle United, who is now outside the top 10 in the Premier League rankings, and Souness has completely exposed his details.

At the end of the 13th round of the Premier League, Chelsea finally reversed Arsenal, who have been unbeaten so far this season, and took a point lead to become the Premier League leader for the first time this season.

At the press conference after the away game against Fulham, Ye Qiu was happy about the team's return to the top, but did not forget to further attack his rivals.

'Honestly, I'm a little disappointed that Arsenal were overtaken by us so early because they could have played better and it gave us more excitement because the stronger the opponents, the more motivated we were and the better we were able to perform, and I believe that's what all of our Chelsea players really think.

'I think Arsenal have a big problem right now, which is how do you keep winning when you used to work really well and now you can't play?

Ye Qiu felt that it was time to make a name for himself, and at least to regain the praise and affirmation he deserved.

"A lot of people were suspicious of me and kept asking me why I wanted to change from 43l to 3I, and I answered very clearly, I need a more rhythmic tactic, and I don't want to continue to use the tactics that the team won last season, because the opponent will keep studying our weaknesses against our past tactics and then beat us."

'It was a bit of a risk and it hurt us to start the league game, but it turned out to be the right decision, at least so far, our team is as good as ever, our opponents are still adapting to our tactics and we are becoming more attacking and impactful'

It can be said that so far, the attack of Ronaldinho, Frank Lampard and Rooney in the second echelon of the front, coupled with Drogba in front, has become the strongest attacking combination in the Premier League, and the forward intervention and coordination of McCone and Evra on the flanks have also helped Chelsea provide tactical width and more concealment of 45-degree diagonal passes.

The abundance of attacking routines and more rhythmic control of the pitch all make Chelsea's attack more varied, and although opponents can also use Chelsea's weaknesses to attack, there are very few teams that can do this in Chelsea's increasingly skilled control of the tempo, and there may even be many people who are still studying Chelsea's weaknesses.

"The point I want to say here is that I have never felt that there is a distinction between clever and clumsy tactics in this world, but I have always believed that there are no perfect tactics in this world, so every set of tactics in every lineup needs you to constantly improve and strengthen, only in this way can you be invincible forever."

For Ye Qiu's remarks, many media have reprinted them, many reporters and professionals have also given comments, and even many people who have attacked Ye Qiu before have now apologized, thinking that they were indeed too short-sighted at the beginning, and facts have proved that keeping pace with the times and continuous reform is the foundation for a team's long-term prosperity.

Of course, there are also some reporters and media who are still bombarding Ye Qiu, but this time the angle of the bombardment has changed, and they began to bombard Ye Qiu getting carried away, thinking that Ye Qiu's team has improved a little, and immediately becomes carried away, and even a little arrogant, which will sooner or later make Chelsea fall from the leader position again.

Ye Qiu has always believed in one thing, that is, if you want to add sin, there is no excuse

When a person wants to attack you, no matter what you say, he can find reasons and words, and unfortunately, you can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep and pretending to be crazy and stupid.

After playing the 13th round of the Premier League, midweek is a national team game, but because Ye Qiu has done a game before, this time Chelsea has been selected for the 13th place after the international players, and they are basically playing in Europe, and Ye Qiu is starting to prepare to continue to adjust his physical fitness in addition to giving others a day off, because it will be the month soon.

A week later, Chelsea hosted Bolton, with Ye Qiu's side continuing to win 0 against Bolton despite only half of their main squad, while Arsenal drew against West Bromwich Albion at their home stadium and the gap quickly widened to four points.

Arsene Wenger is completely sad, and he is now even ridiculed by the media as a draw, because he has had too many draws this season, although a draw is to get points, but for a team that aims to win the title, a draw is also a loss of points.
