Chapter 790: Chapter 7: Fancy Ma Officially Goes Online! You Can Still Deliver a Perfect Score! Blow a Kiss to Celebrate!

At Wembley Stadium, the players of both teams were locked in battle.

Everyone moved swiftly with their team’s overall formation, fully focused on making decisions and adjustments in response to the ever-changing situation.

“Na na na… na na na na…”

The fans were still singing “Hey Jude,” and commentators from dozens of countries and regions in the stands were passionately providing commentary, with everyone fully immersed in football.

“Cazorla has an opportunity with the ball, his technique is very skillful! He smoothly evades the challenges from Fabregas and Mata, and plays the ball to the right flank!”

“Gervinho is charging forward at high speed, directly crossing for Giroud! The ball is intercepted in the air by David Luiz using his chest, a chance for Chelsea to counter!”

“Another long pass! It should be targeting Torres! Ah… it still doesn’t get past Thiago Silva, who covers behind Sagna and heads the ball out for a throw-in!”

In the commentary booth, after observing the first three minutes pass, Zhan Jun thought for a moment before saying, “From the start, it seems both teams, with their new signings, are gelling pretty well.”

“Their players have shown a high level of tactical understanding, bringing us delightful fast-paced transitional plays.”

“For a deeper analysis, I’ll hand it over to Zhang Lu for his expert insights.”

Zhang Lu nodded, ready to offer his tactical insights. “Wenger’s Arsenal seems to continue with their beautiful football philosophy, emphasizing quick passing and movement, along with fast-paced transitional attacks.”

“In my view, as long as they have excellent players, their philosophy will remain timeless and highly effective.”

“This season, they’ve strengthened their defense, enhanced their midfield’s technical ability, and added diversity to their attack. I believe we can look forward to them performing better than last season.”

“Of course, the core issue for them might just be… what kind of support can the others provide to Ma’el?”

“…..”

“As for Chelsea, it’s clear that the newly appointed Spanish tactical expert Benitez has put in a lot of effort during preseason training, shaping this new Blue Army very well.”

“The players have excellent cooperation with each other, neither aggressive nor shrinking back, showcasing Benitez’s balance, all while maximizing their advantages within this system.”

“Moreover, judging from the overall formation on the field, compared to last season, they’ve become more compact.”

“Especially in defense, everyone is packed around the penalty area, with the distance between the central and defensive midfielders down to about three meters, denying any space on top of the box.”

“This will reduce the risk of being broken down by Arsenal and also somewhat limit Ma’el’s breakthroughs and shots.”

“…..”

On the sidelines, Benitez’s keen gaze swept across the formation’s various corners, occasionally gesturing and shouting out adjustments, “Retreat! Fall back! Mata, quicker! Restrict Cazorla!”

As the successor to Di Matteo, who miraculously won the Champions League and FA Cup after replacing Boas mid-season, the new coach who spent over 200 million Pounds strengthening the team, is under immense pressure.

It’s safe to say that everyone is waiting to see him fail, waiting to mock Ah Bu for wasting money on a long-dormant, outdated coach.

“Defend!”

Suddenly, Benitez waved both hands toward Arsenal’s half, “Break out quickly! Quickly! Everyone follow up, a balanced attack won’t win, use running to create an advantage!”

He walked along with the team’s offensive line, and as he got close to Wenger’s technical area, he saw Arteta slide in from behind to disrupt the ball, sending it towards an Arsenal defender’s feet.

“Thump!”

As soon as Arsenal’s defender controlled the ball, Fabregas, who had just pushed forward with it, fell to the ground, lying on the pitch with his arms raised in protest.

But the referee didn’t react, watching as Thiago Silva sent a diagonal long pass to Ma’el on the flank.

Benitez pursed his lips in discomfort as if he’d swallowed a fly; he wasn’t one to shout loudly, or he would’ve started questioning the referee by now.

Returning to his position, he gazed at the field with a mix of confidence and extraordinary tension.

For this win-deciding championship match, he had done extensive homework… all to limit Arsenal’s attacking space and curtail Ma’el’s usual techniques!

He fervently hoped to use a Community Shield Cup win as a welcome gift for himself and the new team’s fans!

Judging from the current situation on the field, the game seemed to be unfolding within his pre-match simulations; everything remained under control. Still, he couldn’t completely shake off his concerns about Ma’el, who had steamrolled all teams in the European Cup.

“Bang bang bang…..!”

On the field, Ma’el was dribbling quickly towards Ivanovic, with a very smooth rhythm.

He kept his eyes focused on Ivanovic’s footing, looking for an opportunity to break through while frequently glancing back to observe the situation in the penalty box and the Ribery closing in from behind.

Carrying the ball along the sideline, beginning a solo break, he’d been in such scenarios numerous times throughout his career.

Yet he never tired of it, always relishing in breaking through different players under varying tactical systems, overpowering opponents’ defenses to contribute to the team, savoring the satisfaction of winning for his team!

After playing for these few minutes, he also sensed the opponent’s targeted setup today, seemingly intending to win by using a compact defensive formation and transition attack.
