"Morata's shot was excellent!"

"Courtois' save was also brilliant!"

"Another climax moment that almost changed the score!"

"The applause at Stamford Bridge has been loud several times in the first half!"

Wenger smiled and applauded.

Bould covered his face in frustration.

Conte was still feeling nervous. He had long admired this Spanish striker. When he coached Juventus in 2014, he insisted on introducing Morata against all odds.

It's just that the two never had a chance to work together. By the time Juventus and Real Madrid had finalized the contract, Conte had already taken over as the head coach of the Italian national team.

"If we can bring in an excellent striker like Morata next season..."

"Well, and Leipzig Red Bull striker - Werner! He has already scored 20 goals in his first season in the Bundesliga!"

Time passed by slowly.

Arsenal's defense gradually adapted to Conte's attacking routine.

Batshuayi repeatedly shot high.

Morata and Giroud also wasted chances.

Finally.

Beep! Beep beep~

The referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

"A slightly dull 45 minutes, both teams tested the defense very frequently."

"The timeline and number of rounds of offensive and defensive transitions are far lower than other Premier League games taking place at the same time."

"Arsenal is currently leading by one goal, Conte must seize the time to make changes!"

"Let's go to commercials first, take a break, and we'll be right back!"

Li Kang took the dry towel and water handed over by Bould.

God's perspective stopped deconstructing Conte's three-center-back system. If the deconstruction continued, it would put a lot of load on the brain's shadow. Chelsea's central axis still has major adjustments in the opening stage of the second half.

Chelsea's locker room.

Batshuayi realized that he might be replaced: because the coach didn't come to scold him.

Conte did not roar as loudly as usual.

Rather than boosting morale.

The most important thing now is how to limit Li's role in the transition offense.

His eyes then swept to Diego Costa, who was sitting in the corner wearing a vest.

Use a striker to limit Li?

No, it is this striker with extremely strong individual combat capabilities who can greatly reduce the support of his teammates, so that Chelsea can speed up the return of the overall formation in the transition from attack to defense!

In the end.

Conte didn't personally chat with Diego Costa, but arranged for the assistant coach to communicate with Chelsea's top scorer.

Arsenal's locker room.

Bould methodically reviewed the details of the first half.

"Chelsea's overall offensive direction is still leaning towards the left."

"We are already one goal ahead. According to Conte's habit, if Chelsea can't equalize before 60 minutes, then he will definitely invest more attacking players!"

"We must seize every opportunity to convert offense and pass the ball to Li!"

Everyone nodded.

Arsenal's coaching staff didn't say anything more, urging the players to take the time to rest.

Morata said with a tangled expression, "Li, my recent form has been a bit poor. In the next few games, I can't contact my girlfriend anymore."

Welbeck shook his head: "Don't do that, my friend, your number of shots is very stable."

Regarding the scale of abstinence, many teams have set up alternative regulations, especially the national team: France - no soap for bathing, Mexico - wearing underwear to sleep, Brazil - no takeout, the United States - play whatever you want.

At the 2010 South Africa World Cup, the Three Lions coach - Capello, he required the entire team to abstain from sex, and installed surveillance cameras in every room. He couldn't keep them locked up. The media reporters still photographed several stars enjoying the local customs of South Africa the night before the game. In England's list at the time, led by Rooney, there were about sixteen players who had been involved in takeout scandals in their careers.

Maradona strongly criticized this strict regulation. He believes that as long as they go to bed on time before the game, normal relaxation can improve the players' competitive state.

The fifteen-minute break ended quickly.

The referee team led the players from both sides back to the green field.

The Stamford Bridge library was once again enveloped in cheers.

Blue flags fluttered in the wind.

"Good evening, viewers, welcome back!"

"Now broadcasting live for you is the 2016-17 season, the Premier League battle between the top teams."

"The second half of the match between Chelsea and Arsenal!"

"The current score is 0:1! Arsenal's No. 10 Li Kang scored with a chip shot!"

"The game is about to continue, Chelsea took the lead in making substitution adjustments!"

"Diego Costa replaces Batshuayi!"

"This is a like-for-like substitution! Conte is finally going to unleash Chelsea's big killer!"

[The odds for yellow and red cards have plummeted? What's going on?]

-

[High EQ: Diego Costa has a strong strategic significance. He is very good at infringing and angering opponents in the game, and will use the referee's blind spot to avoid penalties; Low EQ: A public opinion survey shows that 85% of Premier League fans think he is a dirty player.]

-

[Putting aside these bad habits, it is undeniable that his combat effectiveness is very strong. I heard that he is leaving in the summer window? It is difficult for Chelsea to buy another center forward who scores so consistently.]

-

[I'm so worried that Arsenal players will get injured. The Champions League quarter-finals against Bayern are coming up soon.]

-

[Is Arsenal still Arsenal if they don't screw up?]

The game restarts from the center circle.

Arsenal's possession.

Giroud kicks off and passes the ball back to Li Kang.

Diego Costa quickly approached. Having been trained by Simeone and Mourinho, his pressure ability is very strong. Whether it is offense or defense, his role on the field is compared to: a turd-stirring center forward.

There was no fierce physical entanglement.

Li Kang passed the ball to Monreal who was inserted on the left.

Diego Costa stopped the cleats that were about to step on the opponent's calf and patted Li Kang on the chest in a friendly manner.

Monreal ran away, and soon encountered the dark and hard Moses near the center circle.

Also did not give the other party a chance to entangle.

Arsenal's left back quickly passed the ball horizontally to Cazorla who had stepped in.

After receiving the ball, the balance master began to accelerate.

"Arsenal's frontcourt players are rushing up."

"Start accelerating."

"Chelsea's mercury-like defense has a very backward center of gravity, and there are also a lot of personnel deployed in their own half."

"Even Hazard and Willian have retreated to defend, leaving only Diego Costa in the frontcourt."

The football rolled and jumped happily in Chelsea's half.

This joy did not last long.

Thirty-meter area.

Conte's "spring" node began to bend.

Normal defenses would be flattened or widened by Arsenal's passing and cutting.

But the defense formed by the three-center-back system has enough elasticity and toughness.

The long-lurking little black egg stretched out his foot to destroy the connection between Sanchez and Giroud!

"Kante!"

"Chelsea's counterattack!"

"Hey? Why is Kante still passing the ball back? Shouldn't he just send the ball to the frontcourt? This kind of behavior that slows down the rhythm gives Arsenal plenty of time to return to defense!"

"Oh! It was passed to Fabregas!"

"Wow!"

Fabregas cleverly appeared in an area without interference,

Arsenal's formation retreated frantically.

No matter how fast people are, they are not as fast as the ball.

Chelsea's number 4 leaned back, and heavily kicked the ball with the back of his foot.

At Stamford Bridge Stadium, the Blues fans made a hysterical roar - this is their most familiar scene!

The Fabregas-Costa connection!

The wonderful long arc in mid-air!

Chelsea's No. 19 who broke into the dragon's pool alone!

"Arsenal doesn't need to worry too much."

"Koscielny has a wealth of experience and has a good sense of position."

"Mertesacker's judgment on the landing point of the football is very accurate."

"Under the premise that Diego Costa is one against two, it is impossible... Beautiful!"

"Terrifying individual combat capability!"

Arsenal's half, thirty-meter area.

The football is about to land.

Diego Costa slammed open the "two-meter giant" Mertesacker.

He controlled the ball with his left foot and rushed into the penalty area diagonally!

Koscielny did not immediately get close to kick.

Because Kante's pass back delayed Chelsea's counter-attack rhythm, giving Arsenal's other players plenty of time to return to defense.

Drag.

His purpose is to drag.

The moment Diego Costa dribbled the ball past the penalty area line.

Bellerin and four other players also gathered from behind.

There is no time.

Chelsea's beast flicked the ball, shaking past Koscielny!

His right leg swung slightly.

With tremendous force.

The football shot out!

Cech dived deep!

He guessed the direction correctly, but failed to save the football.

Arsenal's net was lifted high.

1:1!!!

What is a turd-stirring center forward?
