Before the London Derby, Stamford Bridge was full.

In the visiting team's locker room, Arsenal players who had just returned from training on the court are preparing for the game in full swing.

The main central defender Thor Campbell was naked, sitting in front of the wardrobe with a golden sword, allowing the masseur to rub the muscles on his thighs hard, and a look of discomfort appeared on his dark face from time to time.

After the England national team released the latest international roster, Arsenal applied to the national team, leaving Campbell with the team on the grounds of an injury in the groin, but played the whole game in the FA Cup, which aroused the dissatisfaction of national team head coach Eriksson.

In the same situation, Henry, the French striker also missed the national team's game on the grounds of injury.

But judging from Campbell's current expression, he is indeed injured, but he is probably not as serious as Arsenal's external publicity. Otherwise, Wenger would not have placed him on the starting lineup.

As for Henry, the situation should be better.

Both players can play, and the real injury to Arsenal is Ashley Cole, the left-back, so Wenger arranged for French young player Krish to start in this game.

Wenger also attached great importance to this game, and even used injury tactics to compete with the national team, so that the main players could prepare for the game better.

Wenger stood in the locker room, his eyes swept over the players one by one, and finally fell on Captain Vieira.

"I have received exact information that Chelsea's Marklele was injured during the national team training camp and would not appear in this game, and his absence will inevitably have an impact on Chelsea's midfield."

When Wenger said this, French internationals such as Vieira, Pire and Henry all showed joy.

As Marklele's teammates, they all know the strength of Chelsea's midfielder and his role in this Chelsea team.

Let’s look at Real Madrid’s poor performance this season after losing Marclayle. Although they have many superstars, the midfield is always soft and unable to stand firm.

So, the same situation will happen to Chelsea.

"Patrick." Wenger looked at Vieira, who immediately raised his head and looked at the head coach.

"I hope your range of activities will be higher in this game, suppressing the opponent's midfield and forcing them to expose loopholes at the front of the penalty area."

After hearing this, Vieira nodded and said, "I understand, don't worry!"

Wenger still trusts the captain he appointed himself very much.

"Dennis." Wenger looked at Borgkamp.

This Dutch veteran has become Henry's best partner with his outstanding performance.

"Marklele is out. If I'm not mistaken, it should be Parker's starter. You should know how to do it."

Borgkamp has a lot of experience and has worked with Wenger for many years and has long been aware of the head coach's intentions.

"Thierry, your task is to score goals, believe me, you are the best scorer in the world."

"Thank you." Henry nodded heavily.

"The two sides should suppress Chelsea's wings at the same time, try to expand the opponent's defensive formation and create opportunities for the middle lane, do you understand?"

Pire and Yongbery responded together, "I understand."

"Very good!" Wenger was very satisfied with the players' statement and mental outlook.

"Everyone, this game is crucial tonight, but not just for three points, but also for our dignity, and the upcoming League Cup final."

There is no suspense in the Premier League this season. Chelsea swept the entire English football world with an amazing advantage. Gao Han also continued his brilliant achievements at Atletico Madrid and completely conquered the entire England.

Therefore, whether it is Arsenal or Manchester United, they have begun to adjust their season goals to Cup matches.

Compared with the league, there is a better chance of breaking through the cup.

Especially for Arsenal, who has entered the League Cup final, if he doesn't want to be empty-handed after the season, he should do his best to win the League Cup.

Wenger understands that all Arsenal players understand the same.

The players of the two teams, led by referee Mike Riley, walked out of the player channel and entered the Stamford Bridge Stadium with cheers from all Chelsea fans.

Wenger, as the team's head coach, followed the team and walked out.

"Welcome to Stamford Bridge, Professor." As the host, Gao Han greeted him with a smile.

Wenger kept a polite smile and also walked towards Gao Han. During this period, he did not forget to take a look at Chelsea's starting lineup.

Sure enough, Parker was the player who replaced Marklele's starter.

This local midfielder, who was only 23 years old, debuted in Charlton. He performed very well last season and was known for his passing ability. After Gao Han took Chelsea this season, he brought him from Charlton to Stamford Bridge. Although he has always been a substitute for Marklele, he performed well and has been selected for the England national team.

Judging from his characteristics, he has a very tough style and is still a typical English midfielder. He is also fierce in fighting, has excellent passing ability, and is more viable than other English players. However, he is still not as stable as Marklele in overall situations.

It can be said that the midfielder will be Chelsea’s weakness in this game.

As for other positions, there is basically no change. After all, this is Gao Han’s first season in Chelsea. He finally got a mature and stable lineup. As long as he is not injured or sick, there will basically be no major changes.

"What? What did you see?" Gao Han noticed Wenger's gaze.

This guy kept staring at Chelsea players, feeling ill-hearted.

Wenger smiled, "I saw three points."

"Ha, can you take it away?" Gao Han also laughed.

"Wait and see." Wenger was full of confidence.

But looking at Gao Han again, he didn't seem to be worried at all. Not only did he not worry about Marclay's absence, but he seemed to be full of confidence, which made Wenger feel puzzled and even a little uneasy.

Walking back to the visiting team coach's seat, Wenger frowned and always felt something was wrong.

"Pate, tell the players to stay steady after the game, don't worry." Wenger decided it would be better to be more stable.

After all, this is Chelsea's Stamford Bridge.

Assistant coach Pat Rice immediately agreed, walked to the sidelines, conveying Wenger's meaning to the court.

…………

…………

"Want to take three points away from my territory?"

In front of the home team coach's seat, Gao Han turned his head, looked at the movement of the visiting team coach's seat, and hummed and smiled.

"Then we have to see if you have this ability!"

Gao Han immediately turned his head and looked at the stadium, gestured toward Peron and Deco, indicating that he would press the whole line after the opening. At the same time, he also reminded Terry and Galas to pay close attention to Henry and Borgkamp.

Arsenal's forward pairs are very outstanding in terms of tacit understanding and personal abilities.

With Marklele absent, Chelsea's midfielder position is indeed a big problem, but the opponent knows it and Gao Han knows it too.

So, his strategy is to take the initiative!

Sometimes, offense is the best defense!

After entering the coaching system, he plans to use offensive cards and assault cards, as well as defensive cards and confrontation cards from the beginning.

Four cards are used together and start the game with a snatch!

…………

…………

When some of the Gunners fans who followed Arsenal to the away game were still looking for a position in the stands at Stamford Bridge, the referee couldn't wait to blew the whistle to start the game.

Arsenal was the first to serve.

Henry kicked the ball to Borgkamp, ​​who passed the ball directly to the backcourt.

Chelsea is still the same as before, and after the start, he quickly pressed forward, especially Ibrahimovic, who rushed directly to Arsenal's defense and headed straight for the two central defenders, a bit like a city-breaking hammer in ancient wars.

Ronaldinho and Etoo both put pressure on the left and right at the same time, which made Arsenal's backcourt not careless and quickly passed the ball, which soon reached Vieira's feet in the midfield.

As soon as Vieira caught the ball, Chelsea's midfielder Deco immediately appeared behind him.

The speed is really fast!

In terms of the speed and efficiency of pressing and pressing, Chelsea is indeed unrivaled.

But Vieira has dealt with such a scene for many times, so she directly leaned on Deco with her body.

In his impression, looking at the entire Premier League, there are really few people who can withstand his trust, but Deco is definitely not included. This Brazilian midfielder looks thin and short, so how can he withstand Vieira's condescending position?

But unexpectedly, when Vieira leaned against Deco, he suddenly found a huge force coming from his opponent. The feeling seemed to hit the wall. The rebound force made Vieira a little unbearable, and his whole movements were stagnant.

This stagnation made the next series of movements unable to be performed, and the ball also left Vieira's control range.

Deco immediately seized the opportunity and stretched out his right foot and poked the ball.

The ball flew quickly to the frontcourt, Ibrahimovic with his body to withstand Kroo Toure, and Campbell next to him double-teamed over immediately, trying to sandwich Ibrahimovic in the middle.

But the Swedish center made a quick mistake and picked the ball up against the two Arsenal center backs.

A dark black lightning flashed into the penalty area from the right rib with a lightning speed and a slanted slant from the penalty area.

It turned out that Etoo left-back young Arsenal Krish, inserted into the penalty area diagonally, caught Ibrahimovic's pick-up pass, and then went to the country to attack goalkeeper Leman, and easily pushed the ball!

The whole process happened in the blink of an eye, and even the moment the ball entered the net, there were many Arsenal fans in the stands before they even sat in the seats, and even Chelsea fans were dumbfounded.

The game has just begun, and you're scoring the goal?
