Boas clapped with a smile.

Modric’s joining Chelsea greatly enhanced Chelsea’s midfield strength.

Huang Kaiwen’s assist this time goes without saying.

But in the opening stages, Modric performed excellently on both ends of the pitch.

Even if Huang Kaiwen doesn’t play midfield.

Chelsea’s midfield is considered quite luxurious, only second to Milan’s midfield combination.

But letting Huang Kaiwen play midfield.

It still felt a bit lacking.

It’s not that Huang Kaiwen is bad at playing midfield.

The key is that Bale’s performance on the left flank is not up to par.

Chelsea’s strongest point suddenly changed.

Bale is very fast and has a strong impact; having such a flank would be a headache for other teams.

But today, Arsenal’s right defense was significantly more relaxed.

This is clearly due to the gap between Bale and Huang Kaiwen.

Bale has another problem when handling the ball; he does not pass backward.

When he can’t continue forward and has no teammates around, he forces breakthroughs and shots.

This easily results in losing possession.

Boas decided to observe a little more and then remind Bale.

Although the score was immediately equalized.

Wenger’s confidence in today’s match increased significantly.

He clapped his hands, wiped off some black powder, walked to the sidelines, and waved.

Alex Song jogged over and asked, ”Boss, any instructions?”

”One of you three just stay back, then press forward as much as possible, forcing Chelsea’s midfield to retreat.” Wenger said, embracing Alex Song’s shoulder, ”Just now Kevin was constantly defending; as long as we apply pressure, Kevin will need to focus more on defense, understand?”

”Got it, boss!”

Alex Song nodded.

In the opening period, Huang Kaiwen really didn’t show his previous aggressiveness.

This gave him considerable confidence.

Both sides returned to midfield.

Arshavin kicked off; Nasri received and immediately passed back.

Fabregas, following Wenger’s instructions, took the ball and immediately drove forward; he preferred attacking over controlling the midfield pace.

Chelsea’s formation hadn’t spread out yet; Fabregas reached the halfway line and immediately faced Huang Kaiwen.

He slowed down, waiting for his teammates to push forward.

Huang Kaiwen charged at Fabregas.

Fabregas quickly pulled back with his right foot as Huang Kaiwen extended his left.

Too dangerous!

Defending with the right foot against the right foot, facing straight on is harder; a simple move can avoid it.

But defending with the left against the right foot is direct.

Fabregas was forced to turn around with wider movements than normal.

Without shifting his balance, Huang Kaiwen slightly retracted his left foot and directly poked between Fabregas’ legs.

Fabregas realized the danger quickly, leaned on Huang Kaiwen, and pushed the ball away.

Clichy received the forward pass and intended to advance, seeing Ramos charging, Clichy quickly passed horizontally.

Alex Song took the ball calmly.

He was responsible for distributing Arsenal’s ball possession.

Seeing Fabregas advance, Alex Song immediately passed.

Huang Kaiwen realized too late, Fabregas received and quickly advanced with a touch.

As soon as the ball reached the frontcourt, Arsenal’s attack speed increased immediately.

Ballack charged at Fabregas; Fabregas made a left tap to the left, twisted his body, and passed to Walcott on the right.

Ashley Cole held his inside position firm, containing Walcott at the sideline, not allowing him inward.

The two rushed towards the baseline area.

Walcott tried a sudden stop and feint, but Ashley Cole didn’t fall for it.

He had to force a cross, which Ashley Cole blocked out of bounds with a lifted foot.

”That’s experience, huh? Little Tiger’s tricks are easily seen through by defenders like Cole.”

”Yes, the earlier brilliant goal was nice, but you can’t rely on brilliance all the time. Walcott’s biggest problem now is he can’t even pass Ashley Cole on the flank.”

”Next is Arsenal’s corner, but Chelsea’s air defense capability ranks high in the Premier League, let’s see this chance.”

Fabregas stood directly at the corner flag.

By now, the penalty area was crowded with players.

The distinction between the two teams’ players was clear.

Arsenal emphasized foot skills; players like Arshavin and Nasri stood in the box, submerged in Chelsea’s steel jungle.

Huang Kaiwen and Bale stood outside the box.

Even so, Chelsea was noticeably taller.

After Sagna came to support, Fabregas made a quick short pass.

”Tactical corner, Sagna forces inside... Terry headed it out!”

The ball landed on Bale’s left side.

Fabregas, coming out from the corner area, was also at this spot.

If Chelsea counterattacked here, they could likely concede.

Fabregas made a quick decision, extending a foot from behind to kick Bale’s foot, causing Bale to tumble to the turf.

The ball rolled from Bale towards the center; Arsenal players seized the chance to run back.

Ramos and Alex Song rushed at the ball together, Ramos got there first and cleared it.

Huang Kaiwen, timing it right, accelerated forward, tapped with his right foot, and took the ball to the left flank.
