"The second half of the game has begun."

"Neither side made substitutions during the intermission, and still used the lineup from the first half."

"Arsenal took the lead and Chelsea were still on the defensive."

The situation in the second half was still not much different from the first half.

During the intermission, Wenger still calmed down his mood, and then warned his disciples to be patient and not to fall into the trap that Chelsea might set.

After all, he is an old Jianghu, can't he see that Pan Yi is using aggressive tactics?
So no matter how anxious he was, he would force himself to calm down.

After all, if the coach is anxious, the players under him will inevitably become more impatient.

However, the behavior of players on the court is sometimes beyond the control of the coach.

Just like Arsenal's current situation, the players are amidst the non-stop cheers of the home fans, and their adrenaline has been surging!
From the beginning to the present, they are actually playing against Chelsea, which has had a lot of glory this season. Who would dare to imagine this before the game?
Whether it is a player or a fan, the heart is a little excited.

But now that the scene has an absolute advantage, but the score can't lead, it will inevitably make people feel that "if they can't win like this, it's too bad".

Therefore, after the opening, the offensive players in the frontcourt pressed aggressively, eager to suppress Chelsea from the beginning, and wanted to score earlier to ensure today's victory.

The front court is pressed up, and midfielders such as Cazorla can only press up in order to avoid disconnection between the front and back courts.

The attitude of the defense is the same.

As a result, in this way, it didn't take long for Arsenal to press up as a whole.

Even Wenger kept reminding him on the sidelines, but it still didn't help.

The attackers in the front field are like wild horses that have run loose, they can't even be pulled!

"I feel that the team's thinking is a bit inconsistent now, and there are differences in thinking."

In the live broadcast room of Sky Sports, Ian Wright also expressed his concerns.

The offensive players in the frontcourt want to press up, hoping to use their personal abilities to change the situation of the game.

But what the midfielder and the head coach meant was that Chelsea should not be pushed too hard, they had to withdraw first, let Chelsea breathe a sigh of relief, patiently look for opportunities, and then suddenly press up.

This directly led to a disconnect in the team's front and backcourt thinking.

The frontcourt wants to press up, but the backcourt desperately wants to hold back; when the backcourt wants to withdraw, the frontcourt desperately pushes forward, how can it not be chaotic?

However, this does not seem to be completely blamed on Arsenal's attacking team for not listening to the coach's instructions.

The main reason is that Chelsea has shrunk too much. At this time, Arsenal's forwards will always involuntarily press into the opponent's penalty area.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for everyone to retreat to their restricted area and look at each other across the air, right?
The ball cannot be given to the opponent out of thin air.

Therefore, the main reason is that Wenger failed to make timely adjustments according to the situation on the field at this time, such as simply allowing the backcourt to press up, but maintaining a certain number of defensive forces;

Or it is true that all the players retreated, and then went to fight Chelsea's counterattack instead, and so on.

but now……

Ian Wright apparently saw the problem too.

"We seem to be completely led by Chelsea at the moment."

"In the case of the opponent's tight defense, it is necessary to press the strong attack, use the fast-paced offensive, plus the pressing and pressing of the frontcourt to force the opponent to make mistakes, and then use the advantages of the players' personal abilities to solve the opponent."

"If the strong attack is not enough, then you can only withdraw, slow down the tempo appropriately, and look for opportunities patiently. Then, by changing the rhythm from fast to slow, forcefully create loopholes in the opponent's defense."

"Now it's like this, the pressure is so high, but the rhythm is slowed down by the opponent's tight defense, and we can't get up. Under the opponent's tight defense, we can't find a gap at all, and we can't play a threatening attack. That's very dangerous."

"In this case, any counterattack by the opponent may create a murderous intention. So every time Chelsea's counterattack is forcing our midfielders to try their best to return to the defense and run back and forth. The consumption is even more mental torment."

"In addition, we did not do a good job in pressing and pressing in the midfield. They all want to score goals as soon as possible! Therefore, more energy is invested in offense, and a little slack in defense."

Ian Wright was worried, Lineker nodded and said:
"I seem to see it too. Arsenal's frontcourt stars seem to be stuck in a solo situation now."

"And in the face of Chelsea's tight defensive formation, too much reliance on individual players will only slow down the team's rhythm, which in turn will cause the team to be dragged into a slow-paced quagmire by the opponent."

"The tempo is slow, but the team is pressing as a whole. This makes it difficult for Arsenal's offense to create threats. Instead, it exposes the loopholes in their defense to the opponent. This can be said to be slow suicide..."

"It's just that, now we can all see that Arsenal has so many problems, can't Pan Yi see it?"

"He seems to be content to keep defending like this? He doesn't really want to take a point, does he? Is this the Pan Yi we know?"

"If this is the case, I'm going to lose my fan... Ah, wait a minute, look, Pan Yi seems to be making a move!"

On the court, Pan Yi really started to ask people to warm up.

Lingard, Bamford, Hazard, Willian...

All attacking players!
It seems that he is really going to do something!

The scene of appearing on the Chelsea bench was immediately captured by the fans in the stands and the sensitive live TV footage.

The Chelsea fans of the visiting team immediately cheered.

The warm-up position of the substitute players happened to be on the side of the visiting team's stand, and the fans also gave them warm applause.

On the face of the home team's Arsenal fans, there was a trace of uneasiness for no reason...

"We see that Chelsea are going to make a substitution!"

"All the Chelsea fans are excited! There is a saying in the Premier League this season that every command and substitution made by Pan Yi can change the situation of the game."

"Especially after 70 minutes... Hey, I checked the time, and it's less than 60 minutes. Regardless, Pan Yi's substitutions are always interesting."

"I just don't know how he plans to make substitutions? Will he just do a three-up three-down and replace all the starting offensive tridents?"

"If this is the case, it means that Pan Yi has long been aware of Chelsea's defense. The current starting three are used to consume Arsenal's physical and energy."

"The substitution means the beginning of a real counterattack! Especially Hazard, a fast and good dribbling star, has not performed particularly well after returning from injury. He will probably play as a surprise player today to deal with Arsenal. A tall defender."

"Today Arsenal's captain, Merdesacker, is tall and strong, but his turn rate is slow, enough to allow a nimble striker like Hazard to have room to play."

"The fans at the scene were all caught up in this upcoming substitution. The Chelsea fans were cheering, and the Arsenal fans were nervous. It looked very interesting."

"Perhaps, only Pan Yi's substitution can influence the fans' emotions like this..."
-
"Substitution so early today?" Scaloni asked Pan Yi a little confused, "Didn't you tell Wenger to start in seven or 10 minutes?"

"I said 10 10 minutes is [-] [-] minutes? Couldn't it just shake the old man?" Pan Yi smiled slyly, "It's almost there, and their physical fitness is almost there."

Arsenal's long-term pressure actually put a lot of pressure on their defensive players.

Every time Chelsea counterattacks, no matter whether there is a threat or not, they have to quickly return to defense, running back and forth, which consumes a lot of energy.

Lukaku, Gnabry, and seat B, the three of them frequently interspersed back and forth during counterattacks, which also caused a lot of trouble for Arsenal's defense.

The non-stop running back and forth, coupled with the long-term tense nerves, made the physical fitness of the Arsenal players really a little bit overwhelmed.

"Then... how to change? Counter-position substitution?" Scaloni pointed to the players who had finished warming up and were walking back to the bench.

Under normal circumstances, counterpoint substitutions are the most common and safest.

After all, although Chelsea seems to be passive now, they have maintained all three lines very well, and they have also played vigorously on the counterattack. There is no need to make adjustments to the formation.

"Almost." Pan Yi waved his hand, "Let Hazard, Lingard and William go up."

"Oh." Scaloni turned around and took two steps, then turned his head and stared, "Bamford didn't play the center? This is called a counter-substitution, is it almost the same?"

……

After everyone saw Chelsea's substitution clearly, there was another uproar inside and outside the stadium.

It is not uncommon to change three players in 60 minutes, but it is not uncommon.

In particular, Pan Yi often has such a "big hand", and everyone is no stranger to it.

It's just that Gnabry and Seat B were replaced by Hazard and William. This is a match-up substitution between the two wingers, which is also understandable;
What the hell is Lingard replacing Lukaku?

Let Lingard top the center forward?This is obviously unrealistic, after all, Lin Huang has no fulcrum and header ability.

The only explanation is that Lingard played a shadow striker in the middle, and then Chelsea started to play without a striker.

What kind of melon-style whole life method is this?

Although they didn't understand it, when Gnabry was replaced, Arsenal fans still gave the team's hopeful star a warm applause.

Pan Yi stood on the sidelines and applauded Gnabry.

Although he was not able to stage the "killing the old master" drama at the Emirates Stadium today, he has perfectly completed the work assigned by the head coach and performed very well.

How can every old player score goals when he returns home?
In the studio of Sky Sports, Lineker, the "Pan Chui", understood Pan Yi's intentions, and he said:
"In the first 60 minutes, Lukaku, including Gnabry and the B seat, have been running at all costs, sprinting back and forth, consuming the physical energy of Arsenal's defensive players. In fact, I was still worried about whether they could do it in the second half Get through it all."

"It seems that Pan Yi has long been prepared to replace them at this time."

"As for why Lingard was replaced in the middle position? It is to further use his dexterous running and interspersing to attack Arsenal's weakness, which is the weakness of the central defender's slow movement speed, slow turning and slow filling."

"Lingard played as a shadow forward, and can further retreat to support the midfield, thereby helping the side regain control of the midfield, and it is also more confusing when counterattacking. After all, there is no center now, and anyone can go forward. Get to the front!"

"Of course, we can't ignore the other two wingers Hazard and Willian. They are both good at breaking through and shooting."

"This substitution means that the real decisive battle has just begun!"
-
"Asshole, what about seven and ten minutes?"

Wenger on the sidelines also stood up.

Of course Pan Yi was nervous when he made a substitution.

Everyone knows that when Pan Yi changes, it means that this kid has another ultimate move!

However, Wenger kept thinking about how to defend against Pan Yi's new move after 70 minutes, but Chelsea made a substitution at 60 minutes.

It's really unbelievable!

And Pan Yi changed three at once!All attackers!And it has become a frontless array!
This shows that there is definitely a problem!
But the question is... where is the problem?

However, before Wenger figured it out, the situation on the pitch changed a little bit.
-
"Let's see the ball...Chelsea's N'Golo Kante goes up to defend Arsenal's Cazorla."

"The two got entangled. Cazorla failed to shake Kanter's center of gravity a few times. Instead, Kanter stretched his foot at the opportunity and broke the ball."

"Kante made a great tackle! And then he passed the ball to the team-mate in the frontcourt immediately."

"The return is Lingard, who has just been replaced. He is now theoretically the top player for Chelsea, but his range of activities is of course different from that of traditional centers. He is more in the top of the penalty area. Move left and right."

"And the Arsenal central defender Modesack, who has been defending Lukaku, seems to have not adapted to the opponent's style of play without a center, and he didn't catch up immediately."

"So Lingard got the ball easily and had enough time to look ahead. Then, he passed the ball and it was a through ball!"

"good chance!"

"Another winger, Eden Hazard, who came off the bench, penetrated from the wing to the ribs. His explosive speed was so fast that he directly left behind Bellerin, who was known for his speed but had no defense."

"No offside! It's a one-handed goal..."

In an instant, the entire Emirates Stadium became quiet.

Almost all Chelsea fans jumped up from their seats with an ahh, their eyes wide open, and they looked at the pitch.

The Arsenal fans did almost the same thing, but there was a hint of panic on their faces.

Wearing a blue jersey, Hazard was like a blue lightning, throwing off many Arsenal defenders in an instant and catching up with Lingard's through ball.

Arsenal's goalkeeper and former Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech made a decisive decision to abandon the goal.

He has been teammates with Hazard for several years, and he does not know how many times he has thrown the Belgian single-handedly on the training ground, so he knows that if he is bullied by Hazard in front of the goal to aim and shoot, then he really has a chance All gone!
But the problem is that Hazard's dribbling speed is really fast, even a bit faster than Cech's prediction.

In other words, Cech felt that Hazard's trip was much faster than the speed on the training ground!

It was still far away just now, but it was already killed in an instant.

This made Cech turn pale with fright, and rushed over subconsciously.

Because he saw that Hazard had already made a smash!

But what Cech didn't expect was that Hazard's move was a fake move!

After Cech jumped to the right, Hazard suddenly buckled to the left. As soon as he buckled, his left foot flew out quickly.

This is the advantage of a player like Hazard who has a well-balanced ability on both feet, that is, no matter how he buckles his foot, the other foot can complete high-quality shots!
Seeing this, the ball suddenly flew out from behind Petr Cech like a fired shell, and quickly hit the goal!
At this moment, Bellerin, Arsenal's fastest defender, caught up with Hazard.

It was also at this moment that the Chelsea fans in the visiting team's stands let out a deafening shout!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Chelsea scored!"

"Chelsea finally scored!"

"In the 62nd minute, Chelsea scored the first goal against Arsenal!"

"It's a fantastic combination from Chelsea's frontcourt!"

"We have seen that Pan Yi's on-the-spot substitutions by the magical young marshal once again showed a miraculous effect!!"

"Lingard, who just came off the bench, took the ball in the frontcourt and sent a beautiful through ball. Another Hazard, who came off the bench, calmly passed the goalkeeper Petr Cech and scored!"

"This is a classic Chelsea counterattack! This is also Hazard's first goal after returning from injury!"

"Right now, all the Chelsea fans are celebrating like they own the Emirates Stadium now!"

"Arsenal has been unable to attack for a long time, and finally exposed the loopholes in the defense. This is definitely not good news for Arsenal. They have to face the embarrassing situation of falling behind."

"Leading by one goal, Chelsea's defensive counterattack will definitely play more resolutely!"

"How should I put it, Pan Yi's substitution has played to his usual high level, and putting Lingard in the shadow forward position to play without a forward is also a stroke of genius."

"This change made Arsenal's defensive players a little bit at a loss for a while, which leaked flaws."

"And Lingard once again repaid Pan Yi's trust in him, and immediately completed a beautiful assist when he came off the bench!"
-
At this time, the referee on the field has called Chelsea's players back to the field.

It's okay to celebrate after scoring a goal, but don't take too long, after all, the game is not over yet!
After the game restarted, Arsenal served and immediately pressed hard.

Chelsea still chose to shrink their defense and firmly hold their own 30-meter area.

Generally speaking, the period after leading is a high-risk period for conceding goals.

Because the players sometimes lose their concentration due to the excitement after scoring a goal.

Arsenal's offensive ability is obvious to all. If you are not careful at this time, you may lose the ball at any time.

Therefore, standing on the sidelines, Pan Yi kept reminding everyone to pay more attention to maintaining concentration, and shouted to each other to remind them to stand, and not to relax because of the goal just now.

Soon, Chelsea's players also immediately entered the game state, which did not give Arsenal a chance to quickly regain the score.

"Chelsea got a chance to fight back."

"We saw the ball go to the left, to Eden Hazard. No chance, the ball was passed back to Kante, to Willian, against Kirkland's defense..."

"Beautiful, Cochran tackled the ball calmly and ruined a Chelsea attack."

"The ball still fell at the feet of the Arsenal players. Cazorla slowed down a little bit so that his teammates could calm down before attacking."

"Now the ball goes to Kirkland, to Wilshere, to Sanchez."

"Sanchez accelerated towards the baseline, then passed into the penalty area, Giroud received the ball..."

"Ake's speed is very fast. He blocked Giroud's shot. The ball didn't bounce far. Ramsey on the other side hit again!"

"Martinez made another great save, corner!"

"Arsenal take the corner and there's chaos in the box."

"Zouma headed the ball out of the penalty area."

"Bellelin grabbed the second spot, kick it!"

"Oh, it was too high, and it flew directly into the stands."

"Arsenal has been attacking aggressively during this period of time. But we can see that Chelsea's defense is solid and they have not given the opponent a decent chance to absolutely score."

"Sometimes Arsenal did get some shots, but today Chelsea's starting goalkeeper Martinez is really too steady, and ordinary shots really can't help him!"

Time passed by minute by minute.

Chelsea became more and more experienced in defending, and Arsenal, who were one goal behind, were more impatient than at the beginning of the second half.

This is also human nature.

It is annoying enough to say that he has been in the upper hand but has not scored.

But I didn't expect that it was the opponent who scored the first goal?This is even more depressing.

But the more this happened, Arsenal's offense became less and less efficient, while Chelsea's counterattack became better and better.

"Arsenal's offensive is coming again!"

"This time Sanchez ran to the right. He wanted to pass to Wilshere in the center, but was touched by Kante, who came from the middle of Chelsea to defend, and the ball changed direction and rolled towards the center circle."

"Ramirez grabbed the ball and passed it to the left with a big kick."

"Eden Hazard stopped the ball, but Arsenal defended well and Bellerin came up to defend."

"Beautiful! Hazard passed Bellerin with a beautiful fake move, forming a breakthrough on the left!"

"Good opportunity, Hazard dribbled the ball towards Arsenal's goal, and Mertesacker in the middle hurried over to defend."

"But Hazard's footsteps were so fast that it was difficult for Mertesacker to keep up with his rhythm! Hazard easily swayed from an angle and made a cross!"

"No, it's not a cross, because Chelsea don't have a high center in the middle now. Hazard passed the ball to the back!"

"The winger William on the other side directly headed the ball!"

"Cech's movement is very fast, and he dives directly to the ball... However, it seems that because of the influence of William's unkempt head, the trajectory of his header has a little subtle change..."

"Cech's finger touched the ball, but he couldn't change the direction of the ball!"

"The ball went in!!!!!!"

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"William!"

"In the 73rd minute, William, who also came off the bench, scored another victory for Chelsea!"

"0:2!"

"Good guy, Hazard gave the ball very beautifully, and William didn't need any adjustments at all when he rushed up from behind, and there was no defensive player next to him. He could even stop the ball and play again!"

"But he still chose a header that he doesn't often use, and scored this goal!"

"Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech has tried his best to face this header that is close at hand. I really can't blame him!"

"As for this ball, Chelsea's counterattack was very fast, and the thinking was very clear. After all the substitutions of Chelsea's front three, the counterattack efficiency was further improved, while Arsenal's defense was obviously exhausted and could not keep up with Chelsea. rhythm!"

"Chelsea fans are going crazy!"

"Leading by two goals, the Blues have secured the victory!"
