“Diego Costa!”

“He once again staged the feat of taking on the Arsenal defenders single-handedly!”

“Gunners’ nemesis!”

“He single-handedly disrupted the entire Arsenal defense!”

“The Arsenal defenders seem to have gotten used to Conte's complex offensive routines in the first half. Facing the wide-open, straightforward, and crude Diego Costa, their defensive thinking hasn't adjusted yet!”

“1:1!”

“Fàbregas with a long pass assist! Diego Costa's powerful shot breaks the net, Chelsea equalizes!”

Live broadcast room.

-

[Chelsea was very poor last season, they didn't even qualify for the Champions League this season.]

-

[It's different. Conte is not Hiddink, who was eliminated by the times. His three-center-back system is simply tailor-made for Chelsea. Other famous coaches are still building their teams and envisioning a ten-year blueprint. He created a record of thirteen consecutive wins with only three goals conceded in his first season, one of which was an own goal.]

-

[The whole of Europe is still imitating his three-center-back formation. It may be the last tactical reform frenzy in the next twenty years.]

-

[Just blowing it up, he hasn't won a Champions League title since becoming a coach.]

Diego Costa simply celebrated and picked up the football from the net.

On the way, he spewed a few trash words at Koscielny.

Before he could run back to the center circle, he saw Conte, after the passionate celebration, signal Matić to stand by the sideline.

The fourth official was adjusting the numbers on the LED substitution board.

Chelsea's striker subconsciously slowed down and tossed the ball towards the center circle.

The younger generation of Blues fans shouted wildly:

“diegoCosta!!!”

“Chelsea!!!”

Mertesacker rubbed his shoulder in frustration, he hadn't faced a forward with such a freakish physique in a long time.

Čech patted Koscielny on the back of the head, signaling his partner to stay calm and not be provoked by Diego Costa.

“Just after equalizing, Conte is about to make his second substitution!”

“Matić replaces Fàbregas!”

“He is Conte's regular starting midfielder this season!”

“Chelsea's midfield hardness is about to return to normal.”

Actually, it didn't return.

Affected by old injuries, Matić has softened a lot this season.

When he first entered the Premier League, he easily faced Yaya Touré and other beastly midfielders head-on, with composure.

This season, his physical confrontation is not even better than the bamboo-like Fellaini.

But his transformation was very successful, and his nickname gradually changed from "White Yaya" to "White Professor." His ability to wash the ball has risen to a new level after not completely relying on his body.

The combination of Kanté and Matić is not like what some tabloid newspapers described: Pirlo and Gattuso.

In the actual defensive stage, Matić often operates in the area behind Kanté.

He is more like a tower, judging the overall offensive direction of the opponent at the level of overall awareness, thereby releasing Kanté and allowing his coverage space to be wider.

Li Kang's brain was stinging.

The dense red lines in the God's perspective tightened sharply and quietly broke as Fàbregas left the field.

This question is too difficult.

More troublesome than when he encountered Tuchel back then.

With just two substitutions, the offensive and defensive form of Conte's version of Chelsea will undergo earth-shattering changes.

The match restarts from the center circle.

Just after Giroud kicked off, he saw a small black egg burst out from the Blues crowd.

Kanté!

He fearlessly charged into Arsenal's half, cooperating with his teammates to form a pressing web.

“Too crazy!”

“Too fierce!”

“A defensive midfielder is pressing into Arsenal's defense!”

“A very common scene!”

“But there is a detail that is different from the past. Marcos Alonso did not cut in from the left. Moses on the right wing is pressing extremely deep!”

“Chelsea's formation is no longer leaning towards the left!”

Because Diego Costa is also switching forms.

If Fàbregas is not on the field, he will change from a finisher to a coordinator.

Not limited to the vicinity of the penalty area, his coverage running range is wider than that of a general striker.

Simply put, he doesn’t rely on teammates, nor on the team’s overall offensive resources. Chelsea’s offensive direction does not need to lean towards him, and he can also create explosive space for Hazard and Willian.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The match fell into a stalemate.

Wenger paced back and forth in the command area.

Conte roared hoarsely.

Some Islington fans began to curse, they couldn't accept the invincible Gunners overturning at Stamford Bridge.

As time passed, the possession of the ball changed, and the joy and sorrow on the four stands of Stamford Bridge kept exchanging.

68th minute of the match.

Moses steals the ball in the frontcourt and immediately passes it to Hazard.

The latter twists and turns, breaks through the siege, and then lobs a pass into the penalty area.

Diego Costa leans on Koscielny and volleys a shot!

A creepy crisp sound.

The football roared towards the lower left corner of Arsenal's goal!

Čech predicted the direction correctly and punched away the certain goal.

75th minute of the match.

Li Kang and his teammates once again seized the flaws exposed by Chelsea's return to defense in the transition offense.

Monreal exerted his best effort and sprinted wildly on the wing.

Reaching the thirty-meter area.

He crosses the ball.

The trajectory is flat, fast, and low, making it impossible for Matić to intercept it.

It is the falling speed most suitable for Sánchez's height.

Courtois reacted quickly and quickly adjusted his position.

The Chilean superstar did not choose to attack himself, and flicked his brightly combed hair.

The football was touched to the feet of Arsenal's number 10.

Li Kang, who was only fifteen yards away from the goal, did not adjust and took a shot with his right foot.

Pa!

In the blink of an eye.

Terry quickly fell to the ground and blocked Li Kang's grounder with his butt!

“The crisis has not been resolved!”

“The football bounced back to Li Kang's left foot!”

“Continue to shoot!”

“Wow!”

Terry, who didn't have time to get up, exerted force from his knees and stretched out his body!

Blocked Li Kang's second shot with his head!

Stamford Bridge erupted in applause.

Although he cheats on his teammates’ wives, urinates anywhere, is racist, sexist, and is proficient in all kinds of vices, the tenacious style of the Blues center-back always wins the praise and cheers of the audience!

Terry fell to the ground in pain.

The referee quickly urged the team doctor to come on the field.

Cahill was stunned for a moment, and also fell to the ground.

It's not a fake injury.

This is the treasure that Mourinho left to Chelsea: if a player falls to the ground injured, there is a high probability that the referee will ask him to go to the sidelines for treatment, so Chelsea will have one less player in this period, but according to FIFA rules, if two players fall to the ground at the same time, the match will be forcibly interrupted.

Li Kang reached out and dispersed Berbatov's phantom.

In 2017, the style of "El Artista" can no longer fully adapt to the rhythm of opponents like Chelsea.

He was called to the sidelines by the coaching staff.

Bould handed over a towel and quickly peeled a banana.

"Li, be careful not to get hurt!"

“We think Chelsea is very troublesome, and they also think we are very troublesome.”

Arsenal's assistant coach wanted to say something like don't push yourself too hard, but the match hasn't ended yet.

Terry's head is very hard.

The team doctor did not find any problems.

Cahill also got up and picked up the sports drink that Courtois had placed next to the goalpost.

Too tired.

The pace of the second half of the match had exhausted the veterans on both sides.

Time passed quickly.

Both sides came and went, still unable to create a killing opportunity.

Conte regretted taking off Fàbregas a bit. He used the third substitution spot: Mikel replaced Moses! The adjustment of individual strengthening and overall weakening of the right-wing attack once again interrupted Li Kang's God's perspective deconstruction.

Wenger replaced Sánchez, who was repeatedly brought down, with Welbeck.

The match entered the stoppage time stage before anyone knew it.

Diego Costa sprayed trash talk for 45 minutes, failing to anger Koscielny, but instead angered Xhaka.

About thirty meters from Arsenal's goal.

Xhaka tripped the Chelsea center-forward who was trying to dribble past him.

“The referee stopped the match!”

“Xhaka received a yellow card. He is almost about to get rid of the title of card master this season!”

“Willian picked up the football.”

“Conte on the sidelines raised his hands frantically, indicating that this ball should not be taken quickly!”
