Arsenal scored two goals in the first half, still at his home stadium, Camp Nou!
Looking at the Arsenal generals who rushed to the corner kick area to celebrate wildly, and looking at Chen Mo hugging his teammates, Harvey bent down to adjust his trousers, with a look of helplessness and regret in his eyes.
As someone who watched Chen Mo grow up, Harvey understands very well how well Chen Mo's style of play fits Barcelona. His awareness of passing and running is top-notch. He likes to cooperate with his teammates in passing and cutting. He also has a big heart that gets more excited and relaxed the more critical the game. Heart, and more importantly...he also has a huge coverage area on the defensive end!
Chen Mo is the most suitable player to play as a defensive midfielder for Barcelona!
Pity...
Chen Mo didn't know what Harvey was thinking. He celebrated happily with his teammates, but he didn't indulge too much.
He has very complicated feelings about the club Barcelona. On the one hand, he really likes these fans who once applauded and encouraged him. It doesn't matter even if some people criticize him now. On the other hand, he really enjoys being with Messi, Xiaofa and others. Youth training days, but unfortunately, there is a piece of shit here - Laporta.

"We're going to make history!"
Leading by one goal in the away game, the opponent was not Bayern. Seeing the players being so awesome, Wenger in the stands was extremely excited. You must know that Arsenal has been a team for more than 100 years, and their best Champions League result so far is the quarterfinals!
And now, as long as they take one more step forward, they can reach the semi-finals!
Make history!
Even Wenger, who is known for his gentleness, couldn't help but feel excited and nervous at this time, but this time he didn't dare to kick the water bottle again. After all, he was surrounded by Barcelona fans who were eyeing him eagerly and making their teeth itch.
.
Arsenal's celebration did not last long. Soon, under Puyol's protest, Barcelona went to the center circle to serve.
At this time, Arsenal's morale was high after scoring two goals in a row. Facing their full-court press, Barcelona still looked very embarrassed. But fortunately, Barcelona is also a team that specializes in pressing. After losing the ball, they will immediately counterattack. Both sides are going back and forth. On the contrary, the kicks come and go.
But as time passed bit by bit, Barcelona still fell behind under Arsenal's tactics against Max, and Arsenal began to control more of the ball.
"I feel like Arsenal's playing style is a bit restrained against Barcelona."
"It's not about restraint in play, to be precise, it's about the difference in player strength. Barcelona's midfield focuses on passing and controlling. The offensive end relies on passing and cutting to mobilize the opponent's defense, and the defensive end relies on more passing and running to open up space.
The Arsenal midfielder is crazy about interceptions on the defensive end. Whether it is Chen Mo, Vieira or Essien, they are not players who can defend one-on-one. They can gain dominance on the defensive end by relying on the strong running of the three. Dynamic capabilities enable areas to cover each other.
In this situation, if Barcelona players are more capable, then Arsenal will be kept running. If Arsenal are more capable, Barcelona will not be able to pass the ball. However, judging from the current situation, the overall strength of Arsenal's midfielder is still stronger than Barcelona. "
"Yes, Barcelona's main problem is still in the midfielder. This position connects the past and the future, and also connects the left and right sides. But you see during this period, under Chen Mo's pressing, Max was not able to hold the ball steadily, let alone act as a pivot."
"Indeed, actually, I would say that if Barcelona hadn't been overtaken by the score, Arsenal would have been the one to suffer. Even though they are robbing fiercely now, Bergkamp's physical fitness is not enough to support him in robbing a whole game, but now Arsenal are ahead and the situation is completely different. In the second half, they can completely replace Giroud, who is weaker in offensive ability but can run and grab better than Bergkamp."
The explanation is rambling, and this is indeed the case.
Bergkamp is thirty-five years old, an age where he may not be able to get up again after one night.
Giroud, on the other hand, is a nineteen-year-old who has to masturbate before going to school every morning.
Soon, as Deco shot a long shot into the stands, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
During the halftime break, Wenger did not make too many tactical adjustments. He mainly emphasized not to conserve physical fitness. Everyone must stay focused and continue to press hard. As for losing in the league a few days later, he will bear all the blame!
Very crazy!
However, as the saying goes, you can't live without being crazy.
Paranoia leads to success.
Soon, with a bowl of Wenger brand chicken soup down their stomachs, the whole team started the second half in high spirits.
At the beginning of the game, Barcelona was obviously more proactive than in the first half. When defending, even Messi, Ronaldinho and Eto'o on the front line would chase back into their own penalty area. Whenever the midfield was not going well, they would also chase back. The ball should be taken when the ball is withdrawn.
It was obvious that they really wanted to win, but it didn't work out well.
Football is always a team sport of eleven people. Those performances in which he can defeat several people and score goals are rare. They are as powerful as Ronaldo. In more than 600 games in his career, this kind of super phenomenal performance Only a dozen times.
In the 73rd minute of the game, Chen Mo, who retreated to the midfielder position, hit the wall and cooperated with Vieira. After receiving the ball in the center circle, he directly changed direction to the right and relied on speed to beat Max.
Facing the central defender Ogle on the top, Chen Mo pushed with his right foot. The ball passed the left foot of Barcelona left back Van Brondonhorst and was sent to the feet of Maicon on the right wing. The latter kept the ball and sent it low. The ball was passed, and Henry rushed to the goal to score the goal.
Three to one.
Rijkaard picked his head, and the entire Barcelona fans were completely silent. At this time, Arsenal's assistant coach also replaced Bergkamp with Giroud, and asked Henry, who had been at the center, to move to the right.
This is a signal - a cross from the wing!
Henry is one of the most impactful forwards in today's football, and Giroud, who is 1.93 meters long and has a big head, is also excellent at heading the ball. This kind of forward configuration is most suitable for crosses from the wing, and Barcelona...
It can be said that Barcelona, known for its small speed, is the team most afraid of crosses from the wing in the world. Their tallest central defender Ogle is only 1.87 meters, and Puyol is only 1.78 meters.
Facing Giroud, who is 1.93 meters tall, and Vieira, who is 1.91 meters tall, the air defense alarm sounded directly!
But maybe it was his first time playing in the Champions League. Giroud was in a panic. He had two good passing opportunities, but he failed to grasp them. In the end, as Chen Mo's long shot focused on the left goal post, the referee blew the whistle. The whistle sounded at the end of the game.
"Practice hard and you'll still have a chance next year."
"...Wowo!"
It was rare that Messi did not hug him. He looked at the No. 30 Barcelona jersey in his hand, and then looked at Messi who turned and left, leaving him with a scratch on his head. Chen Mo rolled his eyes: "I still like cold violence so much."
