Xiao Qing also feels that this may be more disadvantageous to the team now, although Arsenal has more possession, but it is impossible to convert these possessions into more threatening passes, so many times it is more useless. And Chelsea look to be compressed to a limit right now, but once Chelsea start to bounce back, it will be a huge disaster for Arsenal. It can be said that Arsenal's least favorite opponent is Chelsea, because they are quite familiar with Arsenal, and their tactical style is quite restrained from Arsenal.

Arsenal encircled up front, but it was difficult for them to gain more initiative; And when Arsenal are pressing, when their defence is very forward, a careless moment can bring disaster, although Chelsea look more passive on the field, but as long as they are given the opportunity, then they can take it.

In the 23rd minute of the game, Cesc Fabregas's cross in front of the field was broken, and Chelsea immediately instigated a quick counterattack after the ball was broken at the back; Frank Lampard dribbled quickly on the counter-attack, Nicolas Anelka's diagonal run caught the attention of the Arsenal defenders, Drogba picked up the ball on the right side of the box and first broke through vertically to shake off Klich, then deftly changed the line horizontally with his heel, Gunners defender Vermaelen was shaken to the ground, and Drogba took advantage of the situation with a powerful left-footed volley into the near corner.

Chelsea are 1-0 up at home, marking the third game in a row since Didier Drogba's return to Chelsea, and more importantly, the Monsters have beaten the Gunners City for the twelfth time in their last 10 regular matches against Arsenal. Arsenal is really helpless in the face of the monster, they don't know how to limit this terrifying African monster, they can only watch Drogba crush Arsenal's defense again and again and score goals.

Once again, Drogba played the role of Arsenal's nemesis. It was Warcraft's eighteenth league goal of the season; Drogba is not only attacking the field. Even the defense is conscientious. In the game, he played back to his own penalty area many times, which also made Arsenal really a little depressed in attack.

Didier Drogba scored twice in the first leg of the Gunners' first-leg clash with the Blues this season, giving the Blues a narrow away win, and this time he returned home to lead the Gunners with a clean strike. In the Charity Shield match that year, Warcraft used its body to forcibly eat Sendros, leaving an indelible shadow on the latter; Now Drogba has conquered the Gunners' new generation of central defender Vermaelen with Jishu, and Warcraft can be called an out-and-out "Gunners nemesis".

Xiao Qing was a little depressed, even a little overwhelmed; Although in the previous round of the game, Arsenal still beat Manchester United by two goals. But Xiao Qing also knew that there was some luck in it, and he knew that it was not a simple thing to reverse and win. Especially when the opponents are strong opponents like Manchester United and Chelsea, it is obviously unrealistic to always hope for something like a comeback.

It may be just bad luck to fall behind once, but every time you are behind in the strong dialogue, then this can only be said to be a matter of strength. Arsenal are really good, but they are obviously still some way from the rest of the team; Arsenal are really good in attack, but they really have too many deficiencies in defence.

Arsenal is indeed very competitive now, but the lack of defense is obviously an obstacle to Arsenal to go further, Arsenal want to become better, then they really need to improve a lot in defence. Xiao Qing knows that it is basically difficult for Arsenal to spend a lot of money to improve the defense. But these shortcomings now make Xiao Qing feel very tired; It's like that, it's been like that, it's been a game, it's been a mistake in a strong conversation. This is sure to be a huge blow to Arsenal, and it makes Arsenal's otherwise decent prospects even more dangerous.

smiled wryly and gave a thumbs up to his teammates, although Xiao Qing was a little unhappy with the team's backline, but he also knew that at this time, the team needed to unite and tide over the difficulties together; Now that the winter transfer window has closed, Arsenal can only rely on this line of defense until the end of the season.

Arsenal, who are one goal behind, can only strengthen their attack at this time, and this battle for the top spot cannot be lost for them; While the win over Manchester United in the previous round has given Arsenal some chance to make mistakes in this dreadful fixture, the young Gunners are looking to get better results and it would be better for them not to make mistakes at this time.

In the 29th minute, Xiaofa received a low shot from the front of the penalty area after receiving a pass from Song. In the 37th minute, Clichy tried a long-range shot from the edge and flew straight into the stands. In the forty-second minute, Xiaofa barely got up and missed. In stoppage time, Malouda and Vermaelen collided with each other and had blood on their foreheads; There were also small tidbits in the fierce game, and the referee's whistle did not blow and could only be temporarily replaced.

The 1-0 deficit in the first half also made the Arsenal players not in a good mood, in the visiting dressing room only the hoarse voice of the manager Arsene Wenger laid out the tactics, of course, the heavy gasping of the Arsenal players also proved that the fierce game in the first half made the players under a lot of pressure.

Xiao Qing didn't want to talk much at this time, but he was really holding back a breath of anger in his heart; Maybe this is not a problem of his teammates at all, but Xiao Qing still feels that he should say something. Perhaps Arsene Wenger has seen something as well, as the young Gunners were in a hurry in the first half of the game, and their comeback win over Manchester United in the previous round must have more or less fostered some complacency, and the Arsenal players did not pay enough attention to this game, so they suffered a lesson.

'We are one and I hope you can play more together in the second half. I think you all know the tactics of the team, look at your performance in the first half of the game, tell me what you guys are doing?! Arsene Wenger erupted and Wenger, who was under a lot of pressure, was unhappy with his team's performance in the first half of the game, so he yelled at the players at this time.

'Shaw is a great player, he can score goals for the team and he can bring more help to the team! I know the midfield is good, but what the hell are you doing? Can't Shaw be more comfortable receiving a pass in the box? Could it be that Chelsea's defence has given you no chance to play up front? Arsene Wenger was unhappy with the fact that the Arsenal players were a bit fragmented in the first half. He was unhappy that the team's most threatening point became an ornament. Chelsea's midfield is very defensive. But this is by no means a reason for Xiao Qing's few shots on goal in the first half.

Xiao Qing kept his head stuffy and didn't speak, Arsenal is still a little immature, including himself, there will be some frizz a lot of times, and there will be some quick success; In the first half, it wasn't just his team-mates who were hungry for this brilliant individual performance, but they were all impatient, they thought the game too simple, and they lost what the team does best.

Xiao Qing himself failed to play a personal attack. He failed to improve the potential of Chelsea's defence; When Xiao Qing's point came to a standstill, it was also the most critical link for Arsenal's attack, which was also the fundamental reason why Arsenal was in trouble in the first half of the game. In addition to Chelsea's good performance, more of the problem lies with Arsenal themselves.

Arsenal's biggest problem at the moment is that they are always too weak against their main rivals and are always easy to beat by their opponents.

Arsene Wenger is a great believer in football as a whole, he is an ardent admirer of Barca, and he wants to make Arsenal the same as Barca, but at times he is too pretentious. Whether Arsenal can play the Spanish style of football like Barcelona is in doubt for many. In fact, when Arsene Wenger first arrived in England, his football philosophy of combining jishu, speed, liliang and toughness was a huge success. Arsenal even won the league title undefeated. What many people don't understand now is that when you reach the top in a successful way. Why did you want to make a change, and many people don't understand why he did it. And more people think that Barcelona's football is actually difficult to succeed in the Premier League, because the Premier League is not suitable for Jishu-ryu football.

"Arsene Wenger is learning from Barcelona", then perhaps the 2005-06 Champions League final defeat to Barcelona was the starting point of Wenger's determination to start a "Barcelona-style revolution", and the reason why this assumption is made here is because since the defeat in that game, Wenger's team building philosophy in the past four years or so has been completely copying the Catalans' approach, reusing the team's youth talents, creating more gorgeous ground tactics, and injecting more jishu factors into the team.

The current Arsenal is very similar to Barcelona a lot, but they still have some differences; For Arsenal, what they need now is to become stronger than Barcelona, and for Arsene Wenger he needs to make Arsenal even more difficult to beat. Perhaps the growth of a team that is not suitable for Jishuliu in this land of England, and the previous Arsenal's repeated failures seem to prove this; But now Arsenal are really at the top of their recent years, and they have the opportunity to make a breakthrough at this time, and they have the ability to break the eyes that don't look at them.

It's just that for Arsenal they want to prove that they are not wrong, but they need to mature now, they need to show more maturity in the game, they need to be more convincing in the game. Arsenal's performance in the first half was a bit unsatisfactory, they were not mature enough, which seemed to prove once again that Jishuliu's Arsenal are not suitable for England, and they also seem to be proving that attacking football is at a lower disadvantage when competing with defensive football for the title.

Xiao Qing wants to prove himself, and the Arsenal players also want to prove themselves; They will be keen to win against Chelsea and they will be hoping to take more initiative in the race for the league title. Once again, they made their situation a little awkward, and once again they made everyone suspicious of them. It's not enough for Arsenal, they need to get better, they need to play better.

The second half of the game was Arsenal's chance, they needed to redeem themselves, they needed to prove that Arsenal could win the title and that Jishu-ryu's attacking football could succeed on this part of England. (To be continued......)
