August 8, 2004, Cardiff Millennium Stadium, a port city in southern England.
As a stadium with a relatively short history that was only completed in 1999, the Millennium Stadium has not hosted top stars or hosted top events. However, this stadium is very luxurious and looks very much like a square with an iron edge. toilet!
The entire stadium cost 126 million pounds and can accommodate 75,000 spectators. It is also the second sports stadium in Europe and the largest in the world with a retractable canopy. The entire stadium is full of modernity. The most important thing is that this is Wales. The home ground of the national team.
"Dear viewers and fans, I am very happy to bring you the commentary for today's English Community Shield match. I am the commentator Johnson, and my partner next to me is eh! Sorry everyone, the one who is sharing the stage with me today is not My old partner Tom, let us give you a round of applause - a legend of Manchester United Football Club! One of the "Holy Three", three-time English top league champion, 1968 Champions League champion - Bobby Char - Dayton Doctor! And today’s special guest – Miss Anne Hathaway!!!”
The commentator's passionate roar echoed over the Millennium Stadium, and soon, the sweet-looking Anne Hathaway and the white-haired football legend Dr. Charlton, who was nearly 60 years old, appeared on the big screen of the stadium.
The fans had no reaction when the woman appeared, but when Charlton appeared on camera and said hello, the Manchester United fans present immediately became excited, and most of the auditorium was dyed into a sea of red.
"Hahaha, the fans at the scene are very excited. It seems that Dr. Charlton, your great achievements at Manchester United will always be in the hearts of Manchester United fans!"
"I'm honored to be a part of Manchester United's history."
"As expected of a football gentleman, okay, let's go straight to the topic without further ado. Dr. Charlton, what do you have in mind for the two teams that are about to compete today, Manchester United and Arsenal? What’s your opinion?”
"The Community Shield is essentially a friendly match. If two other non-rival teams met, the match might not be too intense, and you wouldn't invite me to commentate, haha, but now The two teams are Manchester United and Arsenal, so the situation becomes complicated.
Ever since Mr. Arsene Wenger took charge of Arsenal, they have been our biggest rivals on the road to the championship. The two sides are not mortal enemies, but the fierce confrontation in the past few years has also formed a very strong hostility, especially for the Buddha. The quarrel between Mr. Gerson and Mr. Wenger.
Ahem, although I am a die-hard Manchester United fan, I have to say that Mr. Wenger is indeed a magical coach. Last season they achieved the legendary achievement of unbeaten championship, which I admire very much, but...we at Manchester United also We are constantly improving. I won’t go into details about outstanding players like Ruud van Nistelrooy, Keane, the Neville brothers, Giggs and Ferdinand. Their performance is seen by everyone and is definitely of the top level.
I would like to give a special mention to this little guy Cristiano Ronaldo, his performance is amazing. Especially on the right wing, he is strong and has sharp breakthroughs. When he gets the ball, he will create a lot of defensive pressure for the opponent. In today's game, it is very likely that because of his presence, Vieira was tired of defending, which ultimately prevented Arsenal from organizing an effective attack. "
"Wow, such a high evaluation! It seems that Dr. Charlton is really optimistic that Manchester United can win the Community Shield championship trophy, but as far as I know, this summer window Arsenal also spent a lot of money to introduce Barcelona genius Chen Mo As well as Lyon's defensive midfielder Essien, both of them are very optimistic about the outside world. Do you think they will have an impact on this competition?"
"It's difficult. It's not that I don't value the talents of these two little guys. Although I haven't watched much of their game videos, I will still pay attention to the news and newspapers. There is no doubt that they are talented players. But you know, the rhythm and style of the Premier League is completely different from other leagues. Even those players who are already very mature will have to adapt for a period of time when they come to our Premier League, let alone two of them who are less than seventeen years old. One has just turned twenty-two.
Well, to be more biased, I am looking forward to Rooney's performance more than these two little guys. He came to Manchester United from Everton and does not need to adapt to his style of play. Maybe there will be a bright future in this game. Eye play. "
"That's right. Dr. Charlton's analysis is indeed very reasonable. So, Miss Anne, what do you think of this game?"
"I don't know much about football tactics, hehe, but I watched a La Liga Copa del Rey game with my father at home last year. In that game, this little player named Chen performed very well. The ball scored, and my father jumped up in surprise. Well, I hope he can perform well if he plays in this game."
"Okay, thank you very much for Miss Anne's encouragement. By the way, here is a reminder to all fans and friends. On the 11th of this month, which is three days later, the movie "Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement" starring Miss Anne will be released soon. If you are interested Don’t miss it, friends. Well, now the players from both teams have entered the stadium. The starting lineup has been released, and Arsenal has changed their formation! This is... 4213?! Chen Mo and Essien all started, and Henry changed to play Right wing, oh! Wenger is such an unexpected coach!"
.
The sky was clear and clear, and there were bursts of shouts from outside the players' tunnel.
Holding the little ball boy in hand, Chen Mo was chatting with Henry. At this time, a fierce voice came from behind: "When will children be able to come and play in the Premier League? Cristiano, please call the staff to deal with it."
kid?
The voice came towards him. Chen Mo turned around and saw a tough-faced white man looking at him. He had no expression but gave people a strong sense of oppression. Beside him, Ronaldo and Rooney Looking at Chen Mo as well, Rooney looked complicated, with some worry in his eyes and was about to say something. At this time, Cristiano Ronaldo spoke first and said with a smile: "Hey, we meet again."
"kindness."
Chen Mo smiled and nodded, feeling a little happy about meeting old acquaintances. At this time, a proud smile appeared on Ronaldo's lips: "The last time I lost to you was because I didn't have strong enough teammates, it doesn't count! Now, I am The main player of Manchester United, and you, haha, a loser who was kicked out!"
The words were very unpleasant, and Chen Mo frowned: "Are you seriously ill?"
"Clean your mouth for me!"
Before Ronaldo could speak, Keane was already glaring at him. A trace of anger flashed in Chen Mo's eyes. He opened his mouth and prepared to say a few words. At this time, Bergkamp, who was standing closest, stood in front of him and looked directly at Keane. , eyes cold: "Go back."
The voice was not loud, but it was very penetrating. Keen took a step forward and said, "Say it again?!"
"roll!"
"Do you want to get spanked?!"
Keane's eyes widened. The next moment, a group of Manchester United players rushed in front of him. At the same time, Vieira Giroud and others also rushed over. The atmosphere was instantly tense. The security guard next to him saw that something was not going well and immediately rushed the two teams. Separated, and even after the separation, Vieira was still exchanging trash talk with Keane.
"This is their little trick to piss you off, don't fall for it."
Pi Lei whispered to Chen Mo, but Chen Mo remained silent and nodded.
.
As the referee blows his whistle, the game begins.
Arsenal players wearing red shirts and white sleeves attacked from left to right. Bugkamp passed the ball to Chen Mo in the center circle. Chen Mo did not hesitate and directly pushed the ball back to Vieira, while he himself Quickly move forward to the position between Manchester United's two midfielders, Keane and Phil Neville!
"You dare to hit the attacking midfielder?"
The moment Chen Mo reached the top, Keane immediately connected with him, making small movements with his hands and talking trash at the same time. Chen Mo ignored him and just ran on his own, assisting Vieira in passing the ball. Head over to observe Manchester United's overall formation.
At this glance, he knew in his heart, 442, which was similar to what Wenger expected before the game. Manchester United still used the 442 formation with both wings flying together.
Gary Neville, Ferdinand, Sylvester, O'Shea
Ronaldo, Phil Neville, Keane, Giggs
Rooney, Ruud.
"Cristiano Ronaldo and Giggs are both strong in offense and weak in defense. As long as we attract Keane and Phil Neville to the center, we can penetrate them on both wings, but if we put a large number of people in the center , if the ball is intercepted, it will be very troublesome for Keane to directly pass the ball to the two wings to counterattack, so Vieira and Essien must pull wide, and I must be the first gate in the transition between offense and defense to prevent Keane from letting the ball go. En sent a long pass!"
He kept passing the ball and thinking, and gradually the ideas began to become clear in his mind. Chen Mo's running range began to increase. To be precise, the range of up and down movement began to increase!
In the sight of the audience, Chen Mo was like a clothes zipper sliding up and down, sometimes retreating to the midfield, sometimes passing through the two midfielders Keane and Phil Neville to the top of the key.
"The frequency and range of Chen's running up and down are really great. He is in great shape."
"Haha, Miss Anne is right. Chen Mo did work very hard in this game and it was very effective. He has a long shot and is very capable of passing the ball in a small space, so when When he reaches the top of the arc, Manchester United's two midfielders Keane and Phil Neville, as well as central defenders Ferdinand and Sylvester, these four people have to shrink inward and form a diamond shape to double-team him.
But when he retreated, Phil Neville had to go up to mark him again. This constantly caused Manchester United's formation to shrink and expand, shrink and expand, slowly. No wonder coach Wenger said before the game that he has a top-notch football. brain. "
"You are right Johnson, but it is not enough to break our Manchester United formation. He can indeed pull the formation by constantly moving up and down, but the premise of all this is that the ball must be passed in when he runs into place. . Vieira is undoubtedly a very strong B2B midfielder, but his passing ability is not top-notch. It is difficult for Chen Mo to get out of the opportunity when he is double-teamed by four people. When the opportunity arises, he has to get the ball through the seam. Stuffing it in the middle is more difficult.
Look, Keane and the others are following Chen Mo's running and shrinking in large areas just to prevent problems before they happen. If the game continues like this, time will prove that this little guy can't get the ball in the double-team circle. Until then Everything will be different then. "
"Indeed, Dr. Charlton is right. If the ball cannot reach his feet, Arsenal's tactics are indeed just wait! What happened?! Henry and Bergkamp changed positions! Bergkamp retreated to the right midfielder The top position, and Chen Mo's top position is even higher! Big change! Is Arsenal's attack coming?!"
The commentator Johnson roared at the top of his lungs. Under the gaze of more than 70,000 spectators, Bergkamp returned to the right midfield!
As his position changed, Vieira stepped onto the center line, receiving the pass and also restraining the defensive player Giggs. When he switched to the right, Arsenal full-back Ashley Cole was even more amazing, rushing directly. He went to the front end of the right side and acted as a right winger, directly pressuring Manchester United's left back O'Shea to the point where he couldn't move!
The situation changes suddenly!
Ferguson, who was chewing gum on the sidelines, clenched his fists when he saw this scene.
Henry does have a balanced left and right foot, but he prefers to shoot with his right foot from the edge of the penalty area after completing a breakthrough on the left. When he is on the right, he will be much less threatening. Phil Neville can safely shrink inward to squeeze Chen Mo's Space, but Bergkamp is different!
Although Bergkamp's position seems to have always been the right center of the 442 double arrow, in fact under Wenger's 442 system, he always retreats to the right midfielder, taking away the defensive players while organizing the offense, and he His passing ability is very strong. 95% of Vieira's forward goals last season came from his through balls after retreating!
"Trouble!"
Ferguson immediately walked out of the bench and ran to the sideline to shout, but it was too late.
As Bergkamp retreated, Manchester United right midfielder Phil Neville fell into confusion.
Keep an eye on Chen Mo? !
What about Bergkamp?
He is a player with the ability to break through with the ball and shoot from long range!
Chase out and defend, what should Chen Mo do? !
The diamond blockade turned into a triangle and couldn't be blocked at all!
But at this moment, Bergkamp had already dribbled the ball forward and had to step forward to mark him. But the moment he moved his steps, Pires stepped forward, and Henry, who had been moving near the back line, suddenly looked like a ghost. Go around to the back of the entire Manchester United back line, blind spot in the field of vision!
"Offside position, what does he want to do?!"
The entire Manchester United defense was facing forward, and with Pires on the top and Chen Mo causing trouble at the top of the arc, only Manchester United goalkeeper Howard paid the most attention to Henry's movement at this time, but in the next second, he was stunned. , in his field of vision, Chen Mo, who was originally at the top of the arc, suddenly ran to the right. This step directly drove Keane!
Chen Mo pulled Keane to the right, and Bergkamp rushed in from the left with the ball in his sight. Phil Neville was forced to go up to the top of the arc, leaving only central defender Ferdinand!
The middle door is wide open! ! !
"not good!"
Only central defender Ferdinand was left at the top of the arc. Howard had just opened his mouth. At this time, Henry had already circled into the top of the arc from behind Ferdinand. At the moment when he returned to the non-offside position, Bergkamp, who was dribbling the ball forward, suddenly Pass the ball back to Vieira who goes crazy in the middle to connect!
The ball was moving very fast. Facing the ball, Vieira swung his right leg and passed the ball directly to Henry at the top of the arc without stopping!
"Opportunity! The movement of Chen Mo and Bergkamp tore a hole in Manchester United's armor! Will Henry be the one to hold the sword?!"
"Guard it! Ferdinand!"
The two midfielders of Manchester United were pulled apart in an instant, just like a beautiful woman opening her nightgown. The commentator was instantly excited, and all the Arsenal fans in the audience stood up directly!
"Don't even try to get the ball!"
"It's hard to turn around!"
Facing the rolling ball, Henry, who didn't like to hold the ball with his back, still tensed his back muscles, opened his arms to trap Ferdinand behind him, and stretched out his right leg to meet the ball. At this moment, from the corner of his right eye, he He caught a glimpse of a figure who was moving forward quickly. Without any hesitation, Henry lowered his toes and the ball directly hit his toes.
Little rainbow!
The ball directly made a small rainbow in the air, crossed Ferdinand's right shoulder, and was hoisted into the penalty area. The next second, Pires rushed to the ball and volleyed directly into the ball!
"boom!"
There was a huge sound between the instep and the ball, and the next second, the ball roared past the goalkeeper's right waist!
The distance was so close that the goalkeeper didn't even make a move and the ball was already shot into the net!
"Bending Buddha!!! The ball is scored!!! In the 13th minute of the game, Arsenal No. 7 Robert Piressssss opened the scoring, Arsenal 1-0 Manchester United! Oh! This may not be the ultimate personal performance, but it is definitely one A typical example of team tactical coordination!!!”
"It is indeed a very wonderful tactical cooperation, but I think the main problem is that Keane attaches too much importance to Chen Mo. This little guy is only 16 years old. I don't think he can tear through our defense. Keane obviously can with that goal. Let him go and put the defensive focus at the top of the key. If he hadn't been out of position, Vieira wouldn't have passed the ball so easily."
Dr. Charlton was still a little reluctant, but the Arsenal fans in the audience and the Arsenal coaching staff on the sidelines ignored him. Everyone fell into a sea of joy!
"Boss! We are ahead!"
"No, it's not just the score."
"ah?"
The cheering assistant coach looked puzzled. Wenger, who had just been so excited that he pumped his fist, suppressed his emotions, nodded his head, and said with a smile: "It's not just a score lead, it's a tactical lead! This goal looks like an ordinary goal." A goal, but this actually proved that they could not continue to use the diamond position to block Xiao Mo after Bergkamp retreated!
I believe that the players on the field should also feel all this, and Xiao Mo will have more and more connections with Bergkamp and Pires. If you shrink in, you can't guard Bergkamp and Pires. If you push out, you can't guard Xiao Mo! Four top passers and scorers! Enjoy it, next we will dance in front of Manchester United's penalty area! ! ! "
