As a centre back, Sol Campbell''s career is the same age as that of the Premier League, starting in 1992.
Campbell has always been the main centre back of the Premier League and England national team. In the past decade, Campbell has experienced countless top scorers, some of which have gradually faded out of the fans'' sight, such as United''s black wind double evil and Sheringham, some of which have retired, such as Cantona, and others are still red and purple, such as teammates Henry, Owen, Michael Van Nistelrooy and the aging Alan Shearer.
Similarly, Campbell also has experience in dealing with high centers, such as Hasselbaink.
Although he boasts of his rich experience, Campbell still has a headache when he meets Ibrahimovic.
Because this is a very different high center.
He has excellent physical quality and is not inferior to anyone in the confrontation. Even in the face of Campbell, although he is not sure of winning, he is not in a mess.
Can really let Campbell, or let all the Premier League centre backs are headache, he actually has not lost to any midfield of delicate foot technology, this can be very difficult to do.
A height of 1.95 meters, excellent physical fitness, strong confrontation ability, foot technique is extremely delicate, the body is also very flexible, the ball control is very skilled high center, how to prevent this?
In a one-on-one situation, he just needs to lean on you. You can''t expect to get the ball under his feet.
Even, he would like you to grab, because when you make a move to grab the ball, he will shake you away very skillfully.
So, defending Ibrahimovic, if you can''t get the first shot, then you have to send out two people.
This is a consensus between Campbell and Toure.
One on one, no one is sure to hold the Swedish tower.
Every time Ibrahimovic gets the ball, Arsenal''s defence is tense.
Ronaldinho from Brazil is also a great opponent for Arsenal''s defenders, but he relies on his magic footwork and excellent personal ability.
In the game, the Gunners attach great importance to the isolation of the two players from the pre match drill to minimize the interaction between them.
In fact, after the opening period of time, has been very successful.
But it seems that Chelsea are also aware of this, quickly made adjustments, and played the threat again.
One of the most important changes is Ronaldinho''s position. He often retreats, and Ibrahimovic always keeps a certain distance from him, which makes Arsenal''s defense a little uncomfortable.
Just like this time, Ronaldinho retreated very deep again, more than 25 meters away from the goal, and even closer to the middle. As a result, Arsenal''s right back Lauren did not catch up at the first time, but was closer to Vieira.
Deco took the ball out of the 30 meter area and immediately passed it to Ronaldinho as soon as he saw him withdraw.
After receiving the ball, Ronaldinho immediately turned around, and without waiting for Vieira and Ljungberg to get close, he immediately passed the ball to the middle.
Vieira instinctively tried to break the ball, but he couldn''t reach it.
And Ibrahimovic did not know when, appeared behind him, the ball came to his feet steadily.
"It''s broken!"
Campbell was aware of the danger for the first time, but years of competition experience told him that he should not rush up at this time, so he instinctively stood at the front of the big penalty area and let Ibrahimovic rush up.
He is confident in his forward defense and speed.
Sure enough, after the Swedish center bullied him and slowed down, he suddenly smashed the ball horizontally and cut in, trying to get rid of Campbell.
But Campbell was very experienced and immediately got close.
At this time, the reaction of Vieira is also the first time to catch up in place, two people in the forbidden area arc one mile outside Ibrahimovic in the middle.
Arsenal''s two strong men hit Ibrahimovic at the same time, which made everyone confident.
You know, in the Champions League, even in the face of Vieri, who is famous for his physical fitness in Inter Milan, neither Campbell nor Vieira are inferior. What''s more, it''s two people who have an Ibrahimovic at the same time?
But soon Campbell realized something was wrong.
Although Ibrahimovic was a bit shaky with the ball, he still kept the ball under his feet and even faintly overpowered Vieira with his body.
"Damn monster!" Campbell was surprised and immediately rushed to the ball under Ibrahimovic''s feet.
But just when he made the move, the Swedish center leaned against Vieira with his body, but his right foot was in front of Campbell to poke the ball.
This poke, just let the ball away from Campbell''s foot, let the latter jump empty.
Not only that, Ibrahimovic stabbed the ball past Campbell, the body also immediately leaning towards Campbell.
Just because of this, Campbell, who is ready to turn around and catch up, feels an unprecedented force coming from Ibrahimovic''s shoulder, which makes him feel like flying and falling out. His legs have to stop hard to stabilize his body.
But in this way, don''t expect to turn around and chase back.
On the contrary, Ibrahimovic took the lead, rushed into the penalty area, caught up with the ball, and blocked Kolo Toure with his body.
After the Ivorian defender hit Ibrahimovic''s body, he couldn''t shake him. It was as if he had hit a wall. Instead, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
On the other hand, Ibrahimovic, in front of the attacking goalkeeper Lehmann, fired furiously with his right foot!
The whole process happened in a blink of an eye. When all the fans at the scene reacted, they only saw a huge dull sound and a touch coming from the forbidden area of Arsenal. Then they saw the ball from the side of Lehmann who fell to the ground and hit the goal behind him.
At this moment, the whole Millennium Stadium fell into a dead silence.
After the powerful volley, the Swedish God tower clenched his hands and roared. It was like a proud dragon waking up from a deep sleep, venting his full spirit!
It was also at this moment that all the people in the audience cheered and exclaimed.
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!”
"My God, thirty second minute, thirty second minute."
"All the viewers in front of the TV, remember this time, Chelsea finally scored!"
"Ibrahimovic!"
"Ibrahimovic from Sweden, opening the record for Chelsea
"This is a very hearty reflection of personal strength, strong and powerful shot!"
Cheers from the Chelsea fans began to sweep the Millennium Stadium.
In the stands, every Blues fan is shouting Ibrahimovic''s name.
One to zero, it''s a step closer to the Carling Cup!
"When we look at the slow motion replay, this physical quality is really shocking. It not only suppresses Vieira firmly, but also makes it easy to face Campbell. Ibrahimovic, relying on his strong physical confrontation and skilful footwork skills, just finds a gap in the iron wall of Arsenal and creates a killing opportunity!"
"At this moment, he is just like a Warcraft coming back from hell!"
In front of the North coach, Arsene Wenger was stunned.
He would never have thought that he would lose the ball like this.
You know, at that time near Ibrahimovic, there were at least four players defending, but even let the Swedish center seize the opportunity, what else can he say?
Are the players not working hard enough?
No, look at Vieira, Campbell and Toure, who can blame them?
"This guy... Is a monster!" Pat rice was speechless.
He knows the fitness of Vieira and Campbell so he can''t believe what happened.
Vieri, Hasselbaink, even young Kohler and other powerful centers across Europa, encounter Campbell are very difficult to get much advantage, Arsenal center back is not down.
But in this game, facing Ibrahimovic, Campbell couldn''t defend the other side alone, even with a Vieira and Toure, all three of them made the other side score at the same time and let him roar in his own restricted area.
"Is this guy taking medicine?" Pat rice guessed wildly.
Arsene shook his head, he was a bit hard to accept.
Ibrahimovic used to be very, very close to him, even in front of his eyes, and could catch him with just a hand.
But now, the Swedish center has broken his goal.
On the court, Ibrahimovic did not hide his ecstasy after scoring the goal. After celebrating with his teammates, he turned around and spat out his tongue with a smile. When he saw Campbell and Vieira, he shrugged his shoulders and showed his hand, with a look of innocence and helplessness.
This made Vieira and Campbell almost rush forward to beat him.
How arrogant!
The ball has already been scored. How can we go down like this?
"You see, you see, this guy is too much?" Cantarello saw the action of the Swedish center, laughing and making a report to Gao Han. It''s really not rational to provoke the opponent.
Gao Han just clapped high fives with the assistants around him and the players on the bench. When he came back, he burst out laughing, "this is Ibrahimovic!"
Both cantarello and emery are a bit silly.
Are you too partial to him?
"Without this rebellious character, he would not be Ibrahimovic!"
When Gao Han said that, the assistants were relieved.
People have character.
What kind of character makes what kind of person.
Ronaldinho is optimistic in nature, so his football is like a fairy singing and dancing, full of incredible imagination; Deco is diligent and low-key, so he is most conscientious on the court; Eto''o is full of urgent desire, so he is desperate to pursue goals on the pitch.
Ibrahimovic is very proud and never thinks he will lose to anyone, so he will work very hard to prove himself.
Without waiting for the assistants to respond, Gao had already come to the edge of the court and clapped at Ibrahimovic and Ronaldinho, who were going to the half court. "Well done, guys!"
When several players passed in front of him, they all reached out to high five the coach. Ibrahimovic even hugged his coach.
"Take advantage of the victory and take advantage of their confusion, and work harder to kill them." Alpine smile with encouragement, made a beheading action.
Swedish center grinned, "haha, boss, so I love you more and more!"
Gao Han''s smile was stiff, and he kicked out his butt, "get away!"
This scene was noticed by the live TV cameras on the sidelines and the fans in the stands, and the whole audience cheered!
