Chapter 724 They are old

"The first half of the game is over. Chelsea's performance was much worse than we expected. Conte's three-back formation did not show the expected effect. Instead, it was used by Arsenal to continue to exert pressure. I think Chelsea played in the second half. A change has to be made, a change is needed, and it needs to be done fast!"

The implication is that Chelsea must make a substitution.

The three central defenders obviously couldn't handle Arsenal's offense, so they had to reposition the four defenders.

And this change is urgent. How to delay for some time, Chelsea is likely to lose three points, let alone equalize at home.

This has a great impact on their winning streak some time ago and their ranking in the standings.

"We have to make a change! ASAP!"

In Chelsea's locker room, Azpilicueta said with an irritable face.

The pressure on their defense was too great throughout the first half.

Arsenal's high-position press blocked their line of play. With that kind of overall forward pressure and grabbing, Chelsea's defense encountered a serious test, but it was almost pierced by the opponent.

If they don't kick back to the back four, they will inevitably lose the ball in the second half.

Conte is also aware of the seriousness of the problem. Although the three-centre defender can enhance the midfield and the overall mobility, Chelsea obviously did not play the desired effect.

Actually the problem is in the midfield.

When the midfield is suppressed, this pressure will move back to the defense, eventually leading to the collapse of the entire tactic.

Conte needs to admit that this is his miscalculation.

"Terry go warm up!"

Chelsea's old captain Terry, as a veteran, he has not played for a long time.

During this period of time, the state has recovered well, but it has been in a situation of not playing a game, and it is possible to retire at any time.

Now, Conte can only send Terry on the field, and the focus is back to the four backs.

Seeing the old captain going to warm up, the Chelsea players became a little more stable.

At the same time, they are also discussing how to get back the field in the second half.

On the other hand, Arsenal's side is more about staying the same.

"In the second half, Kai's position was slightly withdrawn. Let's observe Chelsea's playing style and changes first, and then make specific adjustments!"

With a one-goal lead, Arsenal can deal with the second half of the game more calmly.

Now they just need to stabilize the situation, take advantage of the lead, and continue to put pressure on the opponent.

There is no doubt that Chelsea will be more anxious in the second half, and their offensive pressure will be great.

What Arsenal need to do is to prescribe the right medicine, and make corresponding adjustments on the basis of understanding the opponent's tactical intentions.

Mourinho is still very confident in his command.

And with Lucky + Kanter's midfield strength, even in the face of the most intense attack, they can resist for a period of time, giving Mourinho enough time to react.

Soon, the intermission is over.

Players from both sides returned to the field.

"Chelsea made a change. Terry came off the bench in the second half. This is the third time Terry has come off the bench this season, but compared to before, this time Terry's pressure is greater."

"At this time, Chelsea are not only behind, but they also need to fight against Arsenal's offensive pressure."

As soon as the voice fell, Arsenal kicked off quickly.

As soon as the game started, Arsenal took advantage of Aubameyang's assault point and directly made a breakthrough on the left wing.

The ball was passed, Lukaku made the ball with his back, and Wilshere followed up and shot.

The ball was slightly higher than the crossbar and flew into the stands.

As soon as the second half of the game started, Arsenal took the lead in attacking.

This attack shocked everyone in Chelsea into a cold sweat.

"Arsenal's offense still showed a strong desire to score goals in the second half, while Chelsea seemed to have never found the feeling of the game!"

The commentator Paul Merson shook his head and said: "Chelsea's defense is still not stable enough, but we can look forward to their performance on the offensive end."

Chelsea took a goal kick, and after the full-back received the ball, it was immediately passed to the midfielder.

But the midfielder was forced to pass back under pressure.

Generally speaking, defenders at this time have a certain amount of preparation time.

But the Arsenal players jumped over the midfielder and ran straight forward.

David Lewis had just received the ball, and he had no choice but to destroy it with his big foot.

The ball was once again acquired by Arsenal.

"Damn it!"

Fabregas cursed secretly, he played extremely depressed.

The whole was suppressed, and his performance was not particularly outstanding. The worst thing was that he couldn't even control the ball, and he played passively throughout the game.

This feels bad.

Emotions such as eagerness, anxiety, irritability, anger, etc. are spreading in the hearts of Chelsea players.

At this time, they are still at a disadvantage, and they are still behind.

This is simply the worst script ever!

"You must get the ball!"

Thinking of this, Fabregas rushed straight to Lucky.

"Cesc Fabregas rushed to Lucky, he was going to grab the ball by himself!"

Fabregas's defensive ability is not particularly good, but at this time he is forced to do nothing.

As soon as Cesc Fabregas came over here, Le Kai moved the ball to the left, and the former followed up.

But Lucky suddenly pulled the ball, pretending to break through from the left, Fabregas twisted his waist and followed up again.

But Lucky chose to smash the ball again.

Shaking three times in a row, directly knocking Fabregas to the ground.

Lucky easily completed the breakthrough.

"Cesc Fabregas is knocked down, Arsenal's attacking opportunity!"

Matic rushed towards Le Kai immediately, trying to limit the opponent.

But at this time, Lucky had already passed the ball to Wilshere, who strode the ball directly into the penalty area.

After another scramble, the ball was cleared by Azpilicueta and kicked out of the sidelines.

"Chelsea's! The kick is too anxious, Fabregas is too urgent, he shouldn't make a move, just follow Kay!"

After Paul Mosen finished speaking, Dixon beside him sighed; "I'm afraid I can't keep up!"

"In the two changes of direction just now, we can see that Fabregas's turning movement is obviously much slower. This is the gap of six years younger! The body functions are at different levels. We need to admit that the current Fabregas Gas can no longer play the flexible football he used to!"

Fabregas got up from the ground, his expression seemed indifferent, but his heart was full of bitterness.

When he was knocked down by Le Kai three times in a row, the unwillingness, anger, bitterness and other emotions in his heart made him extremely uncomfortable.

His thinking and judgment can keep up with Lucky's movements.

But only the body can't keep up.

This is the most painful thing.

Coincidentally, after Fabregas was knocked down by Lucky, Chelsea's defense had problems.

In 67 minutes, Chelsea finally found an opportunity to attack. Hazard shot from a small angle in the penalty area and was hugged by goalkeeper Martinez.

And Martinez also got up quickly and passed forward directly with his foot.

This time, he did not pass to Aubameyang, but chose Mane.

At this time, Chelsea's formation is generally forward, and Martinez's kick has found Mane's running route again.

Therefore, except for Terry who was delayed, Chelsea had no time for others.

Terry kept retreating, judging where Mane and the ball fell.

But soon, he panicked.

too fast!

Mane's starting speed and running speed are too fast.

This leads to Terry being caught up very quickly.

In desperation, Terry thought about taking off and clearing with a header.

But his judgment miscalculated by a small amount, and the ball rubbed against his scalp and fell behind him.

Terry slipped and fell directly to the ground.

At this moment, Terry's head was blank, and he subconsciously wanted to grab Mane's ankle.

But the arms stretch out, grabbing air.

When Terry raised his head again, Mane had already entered the penalty area with the ball, facing the attacking goalkeeper, and steadily scored the ball into their goal.

Arsenal scored another goal in the second half.

In the case of Chelsea losing two goals, they are likely to suffer a defeat in this round.

But compared to failure, the commentators put more attention on Terry and Fabregas.

Paul Merson said with emotion; "Two mistakes in a row, Terry and Cesc Fabregas, these two players we used to trust very much, their abilities and honors are enough to support a team, but now They are at the end of their careers! We need to admit, they are getting old!"

The fans are also full of emotion.

Lucky's shaking and Mane's speed, these are telling everyone that the players of Terry and Fabregas' era are getting old.

The departure of the older generation of players from the main stage has become a given.

And a wonderful new era is about to begin!
