Chapter 401 Is this guy taking medicine?
As a central defender, Saul Campbell's career is the same as the Premier League, and it started in 1992.
As the main central defender of the Premier League and England national team, Campbell has experienced countless top scorers in the past decade, some of which have gradually faded out of the fans' sight, such as Manchester United's Black Wind Twins and Sheringham. Some have retired, such as Cantona, and some are still very popular, such as teammates Henry, Irving, Van Nisstruy and the strong Alan Shearer.
Similarly, Campbell has also had experience in dealing with high centers, such as Hasselbaink.
Although he claims to be experienced, Campbell still felt a headache when he met Ibrahimovic.
Because this is a pretty alternative high center forward.
He has excellent physical fitness and is not inferior to anyone in confrontation. Even when facing Campbell, although he cannot win firmly, he will not be embarrassed.
But what really made Campbell, or all Premier League central defenders, felt a headache, was that he actually had delicate foot skills that were not inferior to any midfielder, which was very difficult to deal with.
A high center forward with a height of 1.95 meters, excellent physical fitness, strong ability to fight, extremely delicate feet, very flexible body, and skillful ball control. How can you defend this?
In one-on-one situation, he just needs to lean his body against you, and you don’t expect to grab the ball under his feet.
He even wants you to grab it, because when you make the ball grab, he will shake you away very skillfully.
Therefore, if you can't get the first shot when defending Ibrahimovic, you have to move two people.
This is a consensus formed between Campbell and Toure.
One-on-one, no one is sure to be able to defend the Swedish God Tower.
Every time Ibrahimovic gets the ball, Arsenal's defense will tense up.
Ronaldinho from Brazil also made Arsenal's defensive players feel like they were facing a big enemy, but he relied on his magical foot skills and excellent personal abilities.
During the game, the Gunners attached great importance to isolating the two players from the pre-match drills and minimizing their interactions.
In fact, I have been doing very successfully during the period after the opening.
But Chelsea seemed to realize this, quickly made adjustments and re-hit the threat.
One of the most important changes is that Ronaldinho's position often retreats, and Ibrahimovic always keeps a certain distance from him, which makes Arsenal's defense a little uncomfortable.
It was as if this time, Ronaldinho once again retreated deeply, more than 25 meters away from the goal and closer to the middle, which caused Arsenal's right-back Lauren to keep up with him at the first time, but was closer to Vieira.
Deco took the ball away from the 30-meter area. As soon as he saw Ronaldinho withdraw, he immediately passed the ball to his feet.
Ronaldinho turned around immediately after receiving the ball, and immediately passed the ball to the middle without waiting for Vieira and Lungberg to get closer.
Vieira instinctively responded to trying to intercept the ball, but she couldn't reach it.
Ibrahimovic didn't know when he appeared behind him, and the ball came to his feet steadily.
"broken!"
Campbell realized the danger at the first time, but years of game experience told him that he should not pounce at this time, so he instinctively stood at the front of the penalty area and let Ibrahimovic pounce.
He is confident in his frontal defense and speed.
Sure enough, after the Swedish center was approaching him, his speed slowed down and suddenly a spike cut horizontally, trying to get rid of Campbell.
But Campbell is very experienced and immediately get close to him.
At this time, Vieira, who had reacted, also caught up immediately. The two of them sandwiched Ibrahimovic in the middle one mile and one outside the top of the penalty area.
Two big men in Arsenal attacked Ibrahimovic at the same time, which made everyone feel confident.
You know, in the Champions League, even when facing Vieri, who is known for his physical fitness in Inter Milan, neither Campbell nor Viera will be at a disadvantage, let alone now that the two are double-teaming one Ibrahimovic at the same time?
But soon Campbell realized something was wrong.
While the two of them were double-teaming at the same time, although Ibrahimovic was struggling and staggering in the dribbling, he still controlled the ball under his feet and even vaguely overwhelmed Vieira with his body.
"Damn monster!" Campbell was shocked and immediately rushed towards the ball under Ibrahimovic's feet.
But just as he made the move, the Swedish center leaned on Vieira while using his body, but his right foot stabbed the ball before Campbell.
This stab made the ball avoid Campbell's feet and made the latter lose.
Not only that, after Ibrahimovic stabbed the ball through Campbell, his body immediately leaned towards Campbell.
It was precisely this dumb that made Campbell, who was about to turn around and chase him, stagnated. He felt an unprecedented force coming from Ibrahimovic's shoulders, which made him feel like he was falling out. His legs had to stand firmly to stabilize his body.
But in this case, don't expect to turn around and chase back.
On the contrary, Ibrahimovic took the lead, rushed into the penalty area, caught up with the ball, and blocked Kroo Toure who was rushing towards him with his body.
After the Ivorian defender hit Ibrahimovic's body, he could not shake him at all. He seemed to have hit a wall, but he fell to the ground without balance.
In contrast, Ibrahimovic rushed to shoot with his right foot before the goalkeeper Leman who was attacking!
The whole process happened in an instant. When all the fans at the scene reacted, they only saw a huge muffled sound from Arsenal's penalty area. With a touch, the ball was then seen from Lehmann, who had fallen to the ground and crashed into the goal behind him.
At this moment, the entire Millennium Stadium fell into a dead silence.
After the Swedish God Tower volleyed vigorously, he clenched his fists and roared hard, and it looked like a proud and mad dragon that woke up from his deep sleep, venting his full spirit!
It was also at this moment that everyone in the audience burst into cheers and exclamations.
"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!"
"Oh my god, thirty-two minutes, thirty-two minutes."
"All the audience in front of the TV, remember this time, Chelsea finally scored a goal!"
"Ibrahimovic!"
"Ibrahimovic from Sweden has won the first record for Chelsea!"
"This is a very refreshing manifestation of personal strength, a powerful burst shot!"
Cheers from Chelsea fans began to sweep the entire Millennium Stadium.
In the stands, every Blues fan was shouting Ibrahimovic's name loudly.
One to zero, which puts them one step closer to the League Cup championship!
"Looking at the slow-motion replay, this physical fitness is really shocking. Not only did it firmly suppress Vieira, but it was also easy to face Campbell. Ibrahimovic relied on his powerful body to fight and skilled foot skills, and found a gap in Arsenal's iron walls and created murderous intent!"
"At this moment, he was like a monster returning from hell!"
Wenger was stunned in front of the Northern coach's seat.
No matter what, he would never have thought that he would have lost the ball like this.
You know, at that time, there were at least four players defending near Ibrahimovic, but the Swedish center seized the opportunity. What else can he say?
Are the players not working hard enough?
No, look at Vieira, Campbell and Toure, who can blame them?
"This guy... is simply a monster!" Pat Rice murmured in a daze.
He knew Vieira and Campbell's physical fitness very well, so he couldn't believe what had just happened.
Vieri, Hasselbaink, and even Jan Kohler, who are strong centers who are sporting Europa, will find it difficult to get much advantage when encountering Campbell, and the Arsenal center back is not at a disadvantage.
But in this game, facing Ibrahimovic, Campbell couldn't defend himself. Even with Vieira and Toure, the three of them double-teamed at the same time, they still allowed the opponent to score goals and let him roar in his penalty area.
"This guy... has he taken medicine?" Pat Rice guessed with a brainstorm.
Wenger shook his head, he felt a little unacceptable.
Ibrahimovic was once very, very close to him, even in front of him, and he could catch it with just one hand.
But now, the Swedish center has broken through his goal.
On the court, after Ibrahimovic scored a goal, he did not hide his ecstasy in his heart. After celebrating with his teammates, he turned around and laughed and stuck out his tongue. Seeing Campbell, Vieira and others, he shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and looked very innocent and helpless.
This immediately made Vieira and Campbell so angry that they almost rushed forward and beat him up.
Too arrogant!
The ball has already been scored, so I still have to take advantage of the situation?
"Look, look, this guy is too much, right?" Cantalero saw the actions of the Swedish center and smiled and reported to Gao Han. This act of angering his opponent was really irrational enough.
Gao Han just celebrating with the assistants around him and the players on the bench. After returning, he laughed without any concern, "This is Ibrahimovic!"
Cantalero and Emery were both stunned.
Are you too fond of him?
"Without this unruly character, he will not be Ibrahimovic!"
After Gao Han said this, the assistants were relieved.
People have personalities.
What kind of personality creates what kind of people.
Ronaldinho is optimistic by nature, so his football is like an elves singing and dancing, full of incredible imagination; Deco is diligent and low-key, so he is the most conscientious on the court; Etoo is full of urgent goals, so he chases goals on the court at all costs.
Ibrahimovic is proud and never thinks he will lose to anyone, so he will try very hard to prove himself.
Without waiting for the assistants to react, Gao Han had already walked to the sidelines and applauded Ibrahimovic and Ronaldinho who were heading towards the half, "Good job, guys!"
When several players passed by him, they all took the initiative to reach out to high-fives with the head coach, and Ibrahimovic even hugged his head coach.
"Take the victory and take advantage of their straits now, and work harder to kill them." Gao Han smiled and encouraged, and made a beheading action.
The Swedish center grinned, "Haha, boss, so I love you more and more!"
Gao Han's smile froze and kicked him in the butt, "Get away!"
Chapter completed!
