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.
