"... a counterattack from Arsenal, Wiltord took the ball and went to the middle..."
"Henry got rid of Makelele, put in the back, Terry headed off, good defense!"
"Arsenal''s counterattack was very fast, but Chelsea''s defensive speed was not slow. Two centre backs Terry and Gallas completed their tasks well in a one-on-one defensive state
……
"Chelsea launched a counterattack, the ball came to the left, bridge cross, Campbell top
"Veron took the ball, moved with his big foot, came to the left again and gave it to Ronaldinho
"Ronaldinho passes to deco, Deco knocks back..."
"The beautiful bottom line is one after two. Ronaldinho jumps to the front of the door and reaches the middle. Ibrahimovic..."
"Oh, almost, Ibrahimovic wasted a great opportunity!"
"The Swedish centre forward also looks upset and depressed
"From the slow motion replay, we can see that Ibrahimovic was disturbed by Kolo Toure when he started."
……
"It''s up to Chelsea to get the ball or to the left
"It''s Ronaldinho who takes the ball again, breaks through Lauren and reaches the back point."
"Eto''o, follow up and shoot straight..."
"High!"
"Chelsea have been very aggressive recently, but Arsenal are very solid in defence
……
"Ronaldinho is on the left again. He''s facing Lauren on his own. It looks like he''s going to go it alone
"OK, Ronaldinho cuts in with the ball, goes to the middle, passes to Ibrahimovic, and then returns..."
"Gilberto Silva''s return was decisive."
……
"Since the start of the game, Chelsea have been firmly in control of the situation, but Arsenal''s defense is very steady, not giving them the slightest chance
"The game has been going on for 30 minutes. We can see that the number of steals by Chelsea is amazing, reaching 14 times, and all of them have been successful. It''s just shocking. It shows the excellent ability of the blues to press
"In contrast, Arsenal had only five steals in the first 30 minutes, which was a bit lax
"In addition, we can see that in the first 30 minutes, the number of shots of Chelsea reached 11, but only one shot was on the right side, and only three shots were from the inside of the penalty area. The other shots were basically from the outside, while the number of shots of Arsenal was only two, both from Henry''s shots on the counter attack
"There is also the possession rate that many of our fans are very concerned about. The possession rate of Chelsea in the first 30 minutes is quite amazing, reaching 61%. That is to say, Arsenal, who has always been praised as a technical player in the Premier League, has only 39% possession rate in front of Chelsea
"I don''t know how to describe the first half hour of the game. Martin, what do you think?"
After Andy Gray asked, Martin Taylor immediately took over the subject.
"Yes, I want to say that from the first 30 minutes, it can be said that Chelsea dominated the game completely
"As we expected before the game, the blue team played a wonderful pass. Although there were problems when the attack came to the areas of Ibrahimovic and Eto''o, we can see that the blue team did a good job in other links, and even completely knocked down Arsenal."
"I think from the first 30 minutes of the game, we can see the similarities and differences between Gao and Arsene
"For example, they all attach great importance to technical players, but the purpose of high cold is to pass and control, and even talented players like Ronaldinho have to join the pressure of the middle and front court, but relatively speaking, Arsene is more lenient to technical players."
"At the same time, I think, in this game, we can see what Gao Han has done to Chelsea. He has insisted on the football concept he carried out in Atletico Madrid, and hopes to copy this set of advanced pass and control playing methods even in the European continent to the Premier League
"But he is very wise, not to copy rigidly, but to adhere to his football philosophy and combine the characteristics of the Premier League pragmatically, such as his reuse of Ibrahimovic
Andy Gray immediately nodded and agreed: "yes, from this game, I think Ibrahimovic is really excellent, especially in the face of Kolo Toure and Campbell, the two central defenders can hardly stand him alone. His physical fitness is too good, and his feet are very thin, which is in line with the concept of Alpine cold."
"Yes, that''s why Gao Han has always valued Ibrahimovic. In addition to his skills, he also needs to have the physical quality to fight against the centre backs in the Premier League, which is much better than goodjohnson."
Martin Taylor said, "I think I''m starting to change my view of Ibrahimovic. I really hope the cold can bring him out."
"Relatively speaking, Arsenal''s few counterattacks in this game all died on Henry''s side. Before the game, we always thought that Ferreira would be the breakthrough point of Arsenal''s attack in this game, but now it seems that the Portuguese right back''s defense against Henry is relatively successful." Andy Gray said.
"Yes, yes, there are Makelele and Veron. Gao Han has obviously paid enough attention to Arsenal''s left-wing attack and has invested a lot in defense. It should be said that they are relatively successful. This is also the reason why Chelsea can occupy the advantage on the field."
"So, the problem now is that neither side can find an effective way to break the other side''s goal in the game."
"Well, it depends on the specific ideas of the two coaches."

…………
On the pitch, Chelsea launched an attack again, still making an issue on the left.
After Ronaldinho got the ball, he picked it up to the big restricted area. Ibrahimovic headed the ball in the attack between Campbell and Kolo Toure and gave it to deco at the front of the big restricted area.
But Deco''s long-range shot, which followed him closely, was once again in Lehmann''s arms.
Once again, Chelsea missed the goal.
In the stands of Highbury stadium, Abramovich was a little depressed, and he let out his depression.
From the beginning to now, Chelsea have scored more than ten times, but they have never been able to really threaten Arsenal''s goal. Abramovich is very depressed because of this feeling that he won''t score.
"If we had Shevchenko, Crespo, or Henry, we would have scored a long time ago."
Pini Zahavi said it blandly.
Abramovich''s face moved, but he quickly returned to his seat.
As an agent and a good friend of Abramovich, pini Zahavi, a good observer, naturally knows the Russian people''s mind. He knows that Abramovich is ambitious and wants to build a team like Real Madrid.
Not only to achieve results, not only to play well, but also to have superstars.
Like Ronaldinho this level of star, simply can not meet Abramovich''s requirements.
He wants to be the number one player in the world in every position!
With this in mind, pini Zahavi knows very well what he should say and do.
Because he knows better than anyone, he, Roman Abramovich, is the only owner of Chelsea!
…………
…………
The first half ended with zero to zero, and neither side scored.
Gao returned to the dressing room, went to the coach''s rest area, discussed with Sergio Garcia, cantarero and other members of the coaching team, and worked out countermeasures for the problems exposed in the first half.
When the cold comes to the players'' rest area, everyone is waiting for him.
They all know that the cold will never give up.
"Everyone did well in the first half. Although I didn''t score, I was very satisfied with the performance of each of you."
In a word, every player on the field was relieved and a big stone fell to the ground.
"However, our team also exposed some problems, Samuel
"Boss." Eto''o, who was named, was so nervous that he immediately stood up.
The Cameroonian was very competitive in the first half, which is very clear, but the tactical effect is not particularly ideal.
"I find that you often go to the middle, which is not a good phenomenon. They have double backs and the middle is very dense. On the contrary, Ashley Cole has a strong desire to attack. He often stays on the left side and has a long distance from Campbell. You should make good use of that."
Eto''o heard that the head coach didn''t want to change himself. Suddenly, the whole person was relieved and immediately nodded.
"Zlatan." The high cold looks at Ibrahimovic again.
For the Swedish center''s performance, he is also very satisfied with the attitude of sincere did not say.
With the tonnage of Ibrahimovic, he can still keep the speed and running on the pitch, and the cold can''t make more demands for him.
"You have done a good job, but you should have more cooperation with Samuel and Ronaldinho, such as..."
Behind Gao Han, emery has already laid out the tactical board, on which are the pieces representing the players'' numbers, while Gao Han is at the front of the restricted area representing the half-time of Arsenal, expounding various changes and routines of the team''s attack.
Although the characteristics and styles of the players are different, many things are interlinked.
When Gao Han was in Atletico Madrid, he once took a center like Kiko and worked out the attack tactics around Kiko, so now he has to train Ibrahimovic, which is also very reasonable and makes the Swedish center very convinced.
As for Ronaldinho
"I have only one request for you, Ronaldinho." Gao feels that the Brazilian is the best and key player for Chelsea this season, but he thinks the Brazilian should be able to do better.
"You said Ronaldinho nodded.
"I hope you can be more aggressive, even at the front of the penalty area. As long as you are sure, I allow you to play at any time. Do you know what I mean?"
After listening, Ronaldinho nodded heavily, "I understand."
He felt the value and trust of the cold.
Gao Han nodded to Ronaldinho and looked around the players. "OK, guys."
All the players immediately looked at the head coach.
"I still said that, this game we have to rectify our name, we have to tell all the opponents what kind of team we are, and in the first half, each of us did very well, I hope in the second half as well
Alpine shook his head, "don''t give Arsenal any chance, with our attack, with our pass control advantage, defeat them, have confidence?"
"Yes!" The players responded in unison.
