"Only seven touches of the ball in twenty minutes. I didn't expect that less than four months after landing in the Premier League, he would be targeted by the opponent's coach. Tsk, tsk, tsk, I don't know whether Chen Mo is proud or uncomfortable now."
"Yes, that's right. Generally speaking, rookie players who perform well will only receive this kind of treatment in their second season. For example, Kaka next door, he just landed in Serie A last season and killed everyone, forty-five times. He scored fourteen goals in his appearance, but after the start of this year, other Serie A teams obviously began to make targeted arrangements for him. He struggled a bit in the first ten games and only scored one goal."
"Haha, this feels a bit like the novice protection period in the game, but Chen Mo's protection period obviously disappears earlier than others. Hey, I hope he can get through it."
The commentary was chattering. On the court, although Chen Mo was still breathing steadily, he was already sweating profusely. As he ran towards Essien, preparing to receive the ball, he glanced at Gerrard and the audience beside him with the corner of his eye. Scoreboard above.
First half, 23 minutes, score 0:0.
"This guy can really run."
When Essien tried to pass the ball to his feet again, Gerrard immediately circled in front of him and intercepted the ball. Essien had to pass the ball to Flamini's feet.
Seeing this scene, Chen Mo frowned and said nothing, but continued to move to respond.
He squeezed Gerrard hard for the ball just now, and he was able to catch it with brute force, but Gerrard was by his side. Gerrard was not a defensive midfielder, but he relied on his strong body to bring about a fight. His ability is definitely not weaker than that of any defensive midfielder. He can't turn forward immediately when he gets the ball, and if he delays for even a second or two, others will double-team him.
Facing a four-man double-team, it is very easy to make mistakes when trying to get the ball out. At the same time, due to the opponent's relentless pressing, Arsenal's organizational area is still near the center circle at this time. This position only needs to pass the ball. If he is intercepted, the opponent is likely to directly threaten the goal. In this case, his teammates would not dare to pass the ball to him.
However, fortunately, because the opponent almost focuses their defense here, the pressure on Essien and Flamini is greatly reduced, and controlling the ball is not a problem.
"Take your time, don't rush."
Continuing to move and occupy the space, Chen Mo secretly encouraged himself in his heart. On the sidelines, he saw that his team's offense could not be launched. He saw that Chen Mo was isolated and helpless in the midfield. Wenger, who was wearing a down jacket, looked heavy and kept searching for his pocket with his left hand. But couldn't find it.
"Boss, why don't you replace Flamini with Pennant? Xiao Mo is a little too isolated in the midfield now."
The assistant asked quietly from the side. Flamini is a purely defensive midfielder who basically does not have the ability to pass forward, while Pennant is more versatile and has some ability to pass forward.
"No, we haven't reached that situation yet."
Wenger shook his head, his eyes fixed on the court. His assistant was still a little worried: "Yes"
Before he finished speaking, the situation on the field suddenly changed. Under the gaze of the two men, Chen Mo, who had been moving at the front of the three midfielders, suddenly waved to Flamini and Essien, signaling them to stand up. , and he himself began to sink, moving to a single midfielder position!
"What a bold little guy."
Front waist and rear position! Seeing this scene, Wenger's deep eyes were filled with an appreciative smile.
On the other side, Liverpool coach Benitez frowned suddenly and stamped his leather shoes, "This little guy is so decisive!"
Seeing that the head coach was a little sore, the assistant beside him shook his head helplessly.
In the previous few games, Chen Mo had used the tactic of playing with the midfielder behind, but for an attacker, getting closer to the goal will lead to more opportunities, so most of the time Chen Mo was at the front of the three midfielders. Moreover, the meaning of Chen Mo's retreat is to get more balls, but even if he retreats, the pressure will be very, very high!
In the midfield, Chen Mo faced a diamond-shaped double-team of four central midfielders: Gerrard, Alonso, Riise and Kewell.
In the midfield and backcourt, Chen Mo faced a triangular double-team of Gerrard, left center Baros and right center Garcia!
There is one less defensive player, but because the ball is positioned further back, as long as they lose the ball, Liverpool can face Arsenal's defense. Chen Mo's pressure will actually be greater!
Therefore, their coaching staff also considered the issue of playing behind the midfielder before the game, but they speculated that because this game is very critical, at least until the end of the midfield and Wenger personally gives the order, Chen Mo would not dare to retreat. Before, Liverpool locked Chen Mo and seized the opportunity to score!
Didn't expect
[If you don’t dare to take risks, you can only be an ordinary person]
Wenger's words echoed in his mind during the meal, but this thought was quickly expelled. Returning to the defensive midfielder position, Chen Mo immediately scanned his position. On the left rear was Liverpool forward Baros, and on the right rear was Garcia. Directly in front of him is Gerrard.
"Next to Garcia is Toure. Toure has the ability to pass long balls. He didn't dare to press me too high!"
In the flash of lightning, Chen Mo immediately moved towards the right area. Behind him, seeing this scene, Garcia, a former La Masia youth training camp teammate, had complicated eyes: "This little guy is still the same chicken thief as always. .”
Indeed, because of Toure's long passing ability, Garcia cannot completely leave Toure open to block Chen Mo, and Garcia, a speedy forward who is 1.77 meters tall and weighs 140 pounds, cannot pose too much threat to Chen Mo. , belongs to the type that can fly with just one butt.
However, Gerrard was very active. After Chen Mo retreated, he began to watch closely. In this case, Chen Mo still didn't have a good chance to get the ball. At this time, looking at Gerrard next to him, the corner of Chen Mo's mouth He raised a smile, raised his right hand high in a three sign, and at the same time turned his head and glanced towards the front court. In the next second, four electric currents came into contact.
Under the gaze of all 50,000 spectators at Anfield Stadium, the left back Cole went up to the left waist, the right midfielder Bergkamp reached the center and formed a double arrow with Henry, Pires went to the midfielder, and the right back Maicon touched the right waist, and Flamini, the original deep-lying midfielder, played as a central defender!
Three central defenders: Campbell, Flamini, Toure.
Double midfielder: Essien, Chen Mo.
Three midfielders: Ashley Cole, Pires, Maicon.
Double forward: Bergkamp, Henry!
The fans in the audience were dumbfounded at this huge change, and even the commentators were screaming in surprise!
"Oh! My God! 352 formation?! What is this? AC Milan?"
"No, no, no, AC Milan's 352 formation is Pirlo's single defensive midfielder. This one is more like 3232, but... speaking of it, this formation is quite suitable for Arsenal. Generally speaking, the biggest problem with the 352 formation is the three It is difficult for the three central defenders to effectively cover both wings, so they appear top-heavy.
But Chen Mo and Essien, who are behind Arsenal, are both active and wide-coverage players. With the two of them here, it will be difficult for the opponent to cause damage on the wing, and if nothing goes wrong, Arsenal will take the next game. The pace is fast! "
"Ah?! What do you mean?! Tell me!"
"Your praise is too blunt Tony, haha. Look at Arsenal's personnel configuration. The three midfielders are surrounded by full-backs Ashley Cole and Maicon. Their dribbling skills are not strong, and their organizational skills are not good. He is relatively strong, but extremely fast and can constantly move up and down in a wide range. Henry on the front line is also one of the world's top attackers. Although Pires's running ability is poor in the middle, Chen Mo's powerful speed and physical fitness fully utilize Plug it in later to make up for this shortcoming!
I can only say that Mr. Wenger is indeed a phenomenal coach. He was able to come up with such a style of play without an excellent right winger. It is indeed... Oh! I'm coming! Chen Mo took the ball and gave it to Maicon! "
In the 27th minute of the game, as more than a dozen passes were passed, it was obvious that his teammates were beginning to adapt to the change in position. Chen Mo, who was located on the right midfielder, focused his eyes on Gerrard's head.
"3.2.1"
The moment the countdown ended in his heart, when Gerald was once again sure that Chen Mo was beside him, he turned to observe the situation. Staring at the back of Gerald's head, Chen Mo tensed his upper body and vigorously lowered his shoulders to the left, then lowered his abdomen. Use force to pull your body back, and make a lunge change to the right!
"What?!"
In a daze, Gerald felt a dark shadow moving to the left in the corner of his left eye. He subconsciously shook his head, only to find that there was nothing there!
"Trouble!"
He immediately turned his head to the right, but all he could see was the yellow No. 24 jersey rustling in the strong wind!
"Defend!"
Gerrard's roar mixed with the sound of wind came from behind his head. Chen Mo didn't care about him at all. The moment he moved forward along the right side of the center, Pires in the center circle had already passed the ball back. The ball was rolling fast and had enough advance. , rolled straight towards Chen Mo's path!
"Oh God! Chen Mo got rid of the defense! He penetrated forward!!!"
"The whole Arsenal is in action!!!"
"Good pass!"
"So fast!"
The situation on the field suddenly changed, the commentator roared, and under the gaze of all the spectators, Gerrard was thrown away by Chen Mo in an instant.
Seeing Chen Mo running wildly and the ball rolling in at high speed not far away, Liverpool left midfielder Riise immediately stepped forward to block it. Without hesitation, he just made a fierce shovel!
The path of the sliding tackle is exactly the path of the ball!
Chen Mo pushed forward, the ball rolled diagonally, and Rise made a sliding tackle. The three points instantly formed a T shape. Behind Rise, the free right midfielder Maicon was rushing forward quickly while looking back at the ball. !
"This ball must be obtained!"
Catching Maicon's movements with the corner of his right eye, Chen Mo gritted his teeth and clenched his swinging fists as he looked at Rise coming with a sliding shovel. He kicked the ground hard twice to accelerate. The next second, Rise With his eyes gradually widening, Chen Mo stretched out his right foot before his sliding tackle and tapped the lower end of the ball with his toe!
"It's about to hit!"
Rise gritted his teeth and closed his eyes subconsciously, but in the next second.
"boom--"
His butt rubbed against the turf, and a slight sound rang in his ears. When he opened his eyes, it was getting dark. Through the cuff of his football shorts, Rise vaguely saw a ferocious dragon entrenched deep in the white clouds!
The flying dragon is in the sky!
"Oh!!! A pass! Oh my god! Riise was passed!"
"Ang Glass Bobo! It's unbelievable!!! This pick is so exquisite!!!"
The commentator roared, and more than 50,000 spectators in the audience exclaimed. Under everyone's gaze, Chen Mo picked up the ball first, and at the same time, he immediately retracted his legs and jumped up, passing over the sliding tackle of Riise like a bomber!
"The sense of balance is going to fly!"
His ears were filled with the sound of wind and the exclamations of the fans, but because he was running wildly, he gathered his strength to pick up the ball, and quickly bounced and took off. The moment he landed, Chen Mo immediately felt that his center of gravity was unstable!
"Don't miss this opportunity!"
Looking at the ball not far away and the left back Traore on the top, Chen Mo clenched his hands, gritted his teeth, and kicked his legs again, throwing his whole body in the air. The next second, in special In Laurel's horrified eyes, Chen Mo's right foot snatched the ball away before he could clear the ball. The diagonal path of the ball was exactly the path Maicon took!
"Maicon got the ball on the wing! Is he going to cut inside or go down?!"
"Should I go in or go under?!"
The commentator roared again, and Maicon, who received the ball at this time, panicked. You must know that he had been playing in the Brazilian League before coming to Arsenal. Even in the Brazilian League, he was not an absolute main force. He was only a substitute for one season. That’s just less than ten appearances!
"pass it to me!"
At the moment when Maicon was struggling, there was a roar from the top of the arc. He looked up and saw Bergkamp already standing in the space at the top of the arc. In a flash, Maicon didn't hesitate at all. He swung his right leg sideways and immediately Sweep the ball to the top of the arc!
"Damn it! Can't you pretend to have an incision?!"
Maicon did not cut in, but passed the ball directly. This resulted in the defender Hyypia, who was defending Maicon, not being pulled away. Looking at Carragher directly in front and Hyypia, Bogkan coming to help defend, Pu frowned deeply as he stretched his feet to catch the ball. There was a gap between the two central defenders. If he were ten years younger, he could directly use his speed and strength to overwhelm him, but now.
"Boss, I'm here!"
He was struggling in his mind. Suddenly, a familiar shout came from behind him. Without even looking back, Bergkamp directly raised his right foot to face the rolling ball, gently pulled it down, and knocked the ball with his heel. At the same time, he immediately Get into the gap between the two central defenders!
"Damn it!"
Watching Chen Mo running forward to catch the ball and Bergkamp trying to pass through the middle, Hyypia and Carragher struggled for a moment. At this moment, Chen Mo rushed over and swung his right foot. Foot blast!
Hyypia and Carragher immediately covered their crotches and turned around, but there was no loud sound of the instep hitting the ball in their ears. The next second, when they raised their heads, they only saw the ball passing through the sky, briefly blocking the sun!
"Oh! My God! The arc of this ball is too high. The goalkeeper has to attack to get the ball!"
The whole audience exclaimed, and the Arsenal fans behind the goal also had disappointment in their eyes. However, Bergkamp, who entered the penalty area, ignored all this and still ran towards the spot where the ball landed. At this moment, the ball reached the highest point. Suddenly there was an obvious stagnation in the air!
"Oh! My God! What happened?! The ball suddenly slowed down?!"
"Backspin!!! It's backspin! Chen Mo rubbed this ball with the instep of his feet! The goalkeeper misjudged the placement!!!"
The volcano erupted, and the commentator stood up instantly. Together with him, there were more than 50,000 spectators at the scene. Under everyone's gaze, the high-speed backspin ball touched the outstretched hands of the leaping goalkeeper and fell to the ground. The next step Seconds, without stopping the ball to adjust, watching the ball drop from the top of the head to the chest, and then from the chest to the height of the knees, without a trace of hesitation, Bergkamp shot directly!
"boom!!!"
Power through the back of the net!
Amid the cheers of the Arsenal fans behind the goal, the ball hit the net hard and pulled the net straight! ! !
"The goal went in!!! One to zero!!! Arsenal took the lead in the 28th minute of the game!!! The one who scored the goal was our [Ice Prince] - Dennis Bergkamp!!! This 35-year-old veteran is using his goals to tell everyone that he is still the ruthless Dutch killer he once was!!!"
"That's right! The ending this time was very decisive and simple. You see, he didn't make any unnecessary movements at all just now. It was like a cold-blooded blade that had been tempered for thousands of times, killing him with one blow! And the person who sharpened his peerless magic weapon, It's the 17-year-old Chen Mo who just joined Arsenal this summer! Oh! I can't find any adjectives to use to praise this kid, he is so phenomenal!"
"That's right! Look at that breakaway from the backcourt just now, look at that pick-up pass from the wing, look at the last spin pass, oh! This is simply art! This is Arsenal's Beautiful football!”
"Yes! Especially that pick pass! Anyone who has played football knows how difficult it is to pick a pass, not to mention that you have to add enough spin to the ball at that moment, otherwise the ball will fly too far and will be hit by the goalkeeper. The attack is confiscated! Oh, Chen Mo’s passing skills are really suffocating!”
"Arsenal is invincible!!!"
“Well done boys!!!”
The commentator roared, and the audience jumped with excitement. After the goal, Bergkamp laughed and ran towards the corner, then turned around and pointed at Chen Mo. The next moment, everyone filed in.
"Awesome boss!"
"Hahaha, Xiao Mo passed the ball well! Oh my god, you guys didn't see the despair in the eyes of the fans behind the goal, and the ball suddenly dropped!"
"Hahaha, I see the same thing from behind! Well done, Xiao Mo!"
"Haha, what you are saying is inappropriate, learn my mouth pattern [Niu——Bi]."
"Six-six pussy? What do you mean?!"
"It means super awesome!"
"Hahaha, sex! We are all sex!!"
