Today's five watches!

Thank you for your support!

Thanks! ――

Highbury was packed, and all Gunners fans were waiting for Arsenal to give them the best Christmas gift ever: victory!

"Happy New Year, ladies and gentlemen! I think everyone will be happy to watch a Premier League top game on New Year's Day, but for Chelsea and Arsenal fans, it will not be happy or painful.

Defending champions Arsenal continue to be strong in the new season, sitting at the top of the league table and four points clear of Chelsea, a win for Chelsea would have cut the gap to one point, but if Arsenal win at home, then Arsenal could extend their lead to seven points in the first half of the fixture.

Seven points is definitely a gap that should not be underestimated for the Premier League title race in the last two seasons.

But for neutral fans, they definitely want the game to be exciting.

Arsenal have always played very aggressively at home, but it's hard to say what kind of attitude Chelsea will play with.

Will Jose Mourinho put his team on fire at Highbury? Or is it a steady and unswerving defense?

We'll just have to wait and see.

Arsenal started 451.

Goalkeeper: Lehmann.

Defenders: Eboue, Toure, Senderos, Flamini.

Midfielders: Ljungberg, Cesc Fabregas, Qin Xiong, Silva, Pire.

Striker: Thierry Henry.

Chelsea started 433.

Goalkeeper: Cech.

Defenders: Pacos Ferreira, Carvalho, Terry. Orno.

Midfielder: Essien. Frank Lampard. Makellele.

Forwards: Robben, Drogba, Duff. ”

The game got underway, with Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho both wearing coats and watching from the sidelines.

The two of them had the same expression, serious and solemn.

But I can't help but feel contempt for each other in my heart.

Wenger is all that he thinks about is Mourinho or his usual utilitarian style.

Jose Mourinho despised Arsene Wenger for playing beautiful football, but this season he has made Arsenal utilitarian.

Anyway, it is an indisputable fact that Arsenal is playing defensive counter-attacks away from home.

Half of what was once a golden left lane has also been scrapped.

Now, if it weren't for Qin Xiong wreaking havoc on the opponent in the frontcourt, Arsenal's attack would have been greatly reduced.

It can only be said that Wenger has dug up the treasure.

The two were dismissive of each other, with Arsenal and Chelsea in the stadium showing a tepid form after the opening.

Arsenal dominated. Qin Xiong took the initiative to organize with Cesc Fabregas in the midfield and mobilized the whole team to enter the rhythm of the game together.

In the 3rd minute of the game, Arsenal launched a tentative attack, Qin Xiong passed the ball to Ljungberg, Ljungberg burst forward on the right side, he did not try to break through Derno, changed direction and retreated after a sharp stop in front of the opponent, he was observing Delno's defensive reaction, and immediately after the temptation, he made a cross, Henry failed to grab the point. John Terry's header clears the ball.

However, such temptations are still rewarding.

Not only did Ljungberg see that Derno was not well adapted to the pace of the Premier League, but even Qin Xiong observed that Chelsea's left wing-back was a weak link.

It was supposed to be a pre-game preparation meeting. Arsene Wenger pointed out that it is necessary to make more fuss about Denord.

Looking at Chelsea's overall squad and defensive system, only Spaniard Derno has obvious flaws and uncertainties.

In other defensive points such as Ferreira, Essien, and Terry, it is difficult for Arsenal to say that they can have the absolute upper hand one-on-one, and it is difficult to say that they can absolutely blow up the opponent with the main attack.

That being the case, Arsenal began to take advantage of the opponent's point to attack.

In the 7th minute of the game, Duff broke through Eboue on the left side, and after the bottom cross, Drogba pressed Senderos's header to the goal!

It's a pity that his header was too straight and was easily confiscated by Lehmann.

Senderos has bad memories when he sees Drogba.

On the one hand, it is true that his skills are not as good as others, and he can't guard against the increasingly powerful Warcraft Drogba, on the other hand, he has a psychological shadow and huge pressure, which is the ridicule and ridicule from the media, which will haunt his heart.

Jose Mourinho was constantly beckoning Duff from the sidelines to get involved behind the wings.

Qin Xiong, Cesc Fabregas, frequently played the ball on the right side, and Ljungberg also began to use his personal dribbling skills and breakthrough ability to try to penetrate Denornau.

In the 15th minute of the game, Ljungberg cut inside on the right side, Delno blocked the inside, but Ljungberg dialed the ball to the outside and went down the side.

His push dragged the Chelsea back line towards goal and freed up space in front of the box.

After getting close to the baseline, Ljungberg suddenly pulled the ball back, before Duff stepped down to intercept, he knocked the ball back into the penalty area, Qin Xiong faced the bag of Makelele and Essien, and in the face of the rolling football, Qin Xiong picked the ball back diagonally with the outside instep in the gap.

A clever pass caught both Makelele and Essien by surprise.

Lampard then noticed Cesc Fabregas's follow-up and was about to move over to intercept when Cesc Fabregas got up and fired from outside the box!

The ball hit the range of the goal, but not from a good angle, and Cech made a good save.

Chelsea's overall tactics have not changed much from last season, and it can be said that the foundation of last season has been strengthened, as the individual quality of the players and the overall tacit understanding are higher.

In the 21st minute of the game, Robben attacked alone on the right side, he cut and changed direction in front of Flamini, Flamini was defeated by Qin Xiong in training with this dribbling method repeatedly, but he still couldn't keep up with Robben's rhythm, which was a gap in hard power and could not be bridged.

But Silva was prepared, he directly grabbed the position of the long-range shot outside the penalty area, and was not in a hurry to intercept Robben, it depends on Robben's choice, and Flamini simply entered the box directly to prevent Robben from cutting into the box.

Arjen Robben fired straight from the right outside the box and he aimed at the back post of the net to curl a curling shot into the corner.

However, the ball bounced off Toure's shoulder as it flew into the box.

Robben immediately raised his hand to signal that Ray had been fouled for handball, and the referee did nothing.

Five minutes later, Arsenal attacked the right again, with Cesc Fabregas passing the ball to Ljungberg on the right, who dribbled forward just past midfield and watched the middle.

He noticed Qin Xiong's movement towards the left side, and suddenly guessed Qin Xiong's purpose in his heart.

He crossed the ball as soon as he stepped into the danger zone 40 yards from goal.

There was a bit of confusion in Chelsea's defence down the middle, as Essien and Frank Lampard were both looking for Qin Xiong, but it was Pire, who cut down the middle.

Pire crosses the ball directly in front of Makelele.

Qin Xiong cut inside on the left flank, leading Ferreira to nervously get inside, and Essien and Frank Lampard also rushed to him to surround him.

The moment the ball was stopped, Qin Xiong pushed the ball a step into the middle, which made the Chelsea players very nervous.

They were afraid that Qin Xiong would stage another fatal long-range shot!

He definitely has the ability!

Because of this, the midfielders and defenders are almost rushing towards Qin Xiong, encircling him, blocking him, and not giving him any angle to bombard the goal!

Qin Xiong's foot touched the ball, and the ball flew lightly, past Carvalho's eyes, over Makelele's head, and the Chelsea crowd was shocked.

Pass! (To be continued......)
