Arsenal dressing room.
Wenger held a list and stood in front of a white board covered with magnet statues, scanning the crowd with a steady gaze.
Seeing Giroud biting his fingers nervously, he put the list behind him and said with a smile: "To be honest, after the first leg, I never thought that our opponent in the semi-finals would be Real Madrid. After all, they were defeated by Juventus at home. Tooth kicked a score of three to zero.
But relax guys, this is a good thing for us, this Real Madrid has had three managers this season and is extremely uncoordinated and top-heavy.
Look here, they are playing 4132 more this season. The back four is still Carlos, Samuel, Helguera and Salgado.
The name is confusing. You just need to remember that their full-backs are fast but not defensive enough. At the same time, the two central defenders turn slowly. So once Henry moves to the center, Xiao Mo, I need you to send more The ball behind you.
Wenger turned his attention to wardrobe No. 24, and other players also looked at him. Chen Mo, who was drinking water when he felt the attention of everyone, nodded: "I understand, boss. I will try to let Henry wear the hat in this game."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the locker room suddenly became heated. Henry put his arms around Chen Mo's neck: "You are such a boastful guy, haha!"
"Hey, hey, the water is about to pour. Hey, I am telling the truth. The last time Real Madrid reversed Juventus in the away game, it was because Juventus was cowardly. They thought they could advance by holding on to the score at their home court, but they got fucked by them. Score four goals.”
Putting the water bottle on the ground, Chen Mo smiled and shrugged.
Real Madrid's four midfielders include Zidane, Guti, Figo, and Beckham as a single midfielder. This midfield lineup is made up of three of the world's top attacking midfielders, plus Beckham, who is extremely capable of long passes. The central midfielder, on top of this, is the double-headed partnership of Ronaldo and Raul.
This lineup is very strong on the offensive end, but there is still the same problem, the defensive end is not good.
No matter Zidane, Guti or Figo, they have no defensive ability. Even before Ronaldo joined Real Madrid, Guti still played as a center, nicknamed "Golden Wolf".
The offense is picturesque, but the defense is a piece of shit, a bit like Paris in a certain era.
The only way to beat this kind of team is to hit them with pressure.
Beckham cannot play as a single defensive midfielder. To be precise, he is not a defensive midfielder. As long as Arsenal attacks with all their strength, Real Madrid's three front midfielders must retreat to help defend. This will reduce Arsenal's defensive pressure.
If facing Ronaldo at his peak, Chen Mo would naturally not dare to play like this. After all, playing with pressure, the opponent can directly send the ball behind him when he counterattacks. But it is a pity that the invincible alien has been tortured by injuries to the point where he is no longer human. .
Speed, explosive power and even physical confrontation ability have begun to completely deteriorate. In more than 30 games this season, driven by such a luxurious midfield configuration, they have only scored less than 20 goals in total.
.
"The Galactic Battleship is about to set sail!"
"The guns and cannons of this small factory are ineffective against us!"
"Come to Real Madrid! Chen!"
"Become Zidane's successor!"
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the spring scenery is bright.
Looking at the crowded Bernabeu Stadium, Chen Mo stood on the turf and moved his body. Hearing the shouts from the stands, his face looked a little strange.
To be honest, he has played in many away games, but most of the away fans were very hostile to him, including Barcelona. But now, at the Bernabeu, these fans not only did not boo him, but one by one. They are all trying to persuade him to rebel.
Not far away, Da Luo, who also listened to the fans' shouts, looked at Chen Mo with a complex expression, and shook his head with a sigh.
"I didn't expect that the little guy who was still playing in the sponsorship cup in Japan three years ago has now grown into a top player."
Da Luo was in a complicated mood.
The first time I met Chen Mo was in Japan four years ago. At that time, Chen Mo was still a short man, less than 1.7 meters tall, and relatively thin. His impression on him was that he had excellent passing awareness. Little guy, even taking photos and so on is just a whim and takes too much attention.
Two years ago, when they met for the second time, Chen Mo had already shown a very terrifying talent, especially the free kick from 40 yards away that shocked him. However, at that time, Chen Mo was still just a player who couldn't even get a quota in Africa and Europe. A great substitute.
Now, Chen Mo has become Arsenal's main starter and challenges his team as the absolute core!
"You grow up so fast."
.
Chen Mo didn't know what Ronaldo was thinking. After entering the game, he rarely considered other things.
Soon, as the referee blew his whistle, the game officially started.
Arsenal had the ball, and Henry kicked the ball back directly to Chen Mo. Knowing that Chen Mo was the core of Arsenal's operation, as soon as he got the ball, Raul and Figo immediately surrounded him.
Neither of them had strong fighting ability, but Chen Mo didn't rely too much on it. He immediately passed the ball back to Vieira and looked up to observe Real Madrid's position.
When he discovered that Real Madrid's position was indeed 4132 as analyzed before the game, he immediately ran backwards and called for Vieira and Essien to press forward.
The position of the three midfielders changed from pinzi shape to inverted pinzi shape.
"Oh, Chen Mo is very decisive. He directly attacks the midfielder at the beginning."
"Usually, Vieira and Essien's pressure forced Figo and Zidane to retreat to help defend. In this way, Chen Mo only had to face the defensive pressure of Guti in the midfield and backcourt.
And as long as he can break through Guti and complete the forward penetration, then other Real Madrid players must fill in. In this way, Real Madrid's formation will inevitably have problems. "
The explanations are rambling, but their analysis makes sense.
On the sidelines, Real Madrid coach Luxenberg looked solemn when he saw Chen Mo retreating.
This is a conspiracy.
Real Madrid have a staffing problem and the whole world knows it.
If Real Madrid's defensive midfielder is a serious defensive gate like Makelele, then even if Essien and Vieira press forward, it will only require one of Figo or Zidane to retreat for a little coordination. Defense is enough, but their midfielder is Beckham.
It's not that Beckham is weak, the point is that if he plays as a defensive midfielder, it's like a dog catching a mouse.
I can catch it, but only a little.
Once Zidane and Figo both retreat, Real Madrid's pressure on Arsenal's backcourt will naturally decrease, which will give Chen Mo more space.
However, if you know your own problem, you will naturally devise a remedy.
As the game time passed bit by bit, under the gaze of more than 80,000 spectators at the Bernabeu, they soon discovered that as soon as Chen Mo got the ball, Raul and Ronaldo would cooperate with Guti to grab it!
"take it easy."
When he received a pass from Campbell again and was surrounded by three people as soon as he took the ball, he had to pass the ball to Ashley Cole on the wing. Chen Mo grinned and didn't say much. He just continued to run and continue. Pass the ball in the midfield.
Football is always about eleven men playing eleven men. He receives more care here, and the pressure on other players becomes less. When other players get opportunities, part of the pressure on him will naturally be shared.
Pull slowly and you will always find an opportunity.
However, Chen Mo and other players were able to keep their composure, and the fans were in pain. They thought this game would be a battle of sparks and earth, but unexpectedly Chen Mo started to play slow "pass and control" for them. ", the hypnotic effect is even stronger than math class!
"Zinima! Refund the money!!!"
"Arsenal are cowards!"
"Is this the so-called beautiful football of Arsenal!"
"It seems that the fans are very dissatisfied, haha."
"Indeed, but most of them should be Real Madrid fans who are dissatisfied. After all, this season, it is not uncommon for Chen Mo to lead the team to set the pace, and it is often very effective."
The sky was full of boos and the commentators were chattering. Chen Mo was still slowly leading his teammates to set the rhythm on the court. But in a corner of the stands that he didn't notice, two voluptuous white-haired girls wearing fisherman hats were sitting in the stands drinking. juice.
"Let me tell you, I'm just watching a game on the way. Isn't it enough that you have to come all the way from London to supervise me?"
"By the way? From the United States to Spain?!"
"It's normal to fly around the world when talking about business."
"You! I shouldn't have helped you in the first place! Humph!"
Looking at Keli who was chewing potato chips with her cheeks bulging like a hamster, Yuechi Xun was so angry that her teeth itched. She turned her head with a "hum" and took a big gulp of juice.
Seeing Yuechi Xun's appearance, Keli smiled like crescent moons with her eyes showing her little tiger teeth. She leaned into her arms and nuzzled her, and said coquettishly: "By the way, why don't you come to watch such an important game?"
"Hey, it's none of your business!"
"Just tell me, Mom Xun."
".You guy!"
The hair was scratching his neck and itching. Yuechixun pushed Keli's little head away, folded his arms and rolled his eyes: "I usually have to go to class, okay? And he said that he hopes that I can go to the scene again during the Champions League final. He said that. If you hold it in for a whole year, you will be more motivated or something."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, hold it in for a whole year? Haha, I don't think he can hold it in for a week. I was obviously still at your house at that time, so I was messing around in the toilet."
Keli rolled her eyes, Yuechi Xun's eyes widened, and the flush climbed to the base of her collarbone and ears, "What are you talking about!"
"Please, I'm not deaf. How could I not hear such a heavy knock on the door? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, don't mess around~~ahhh~~~"
"Let you talk nonsense!"
Before she could finish her words, Yue Chixun's soft cheeks were pulled apart to both sides. After a lot of struggling, she broke free and wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth. Keli was speechless and rolled her eyes: "I'm telling you, you Japanese people Isn't it very open-minded? Besides, you have been living together for several years, why don't you be so shy?"
"You can't say that outside!"
"Okay, okay, you are the boss, you have the final say. But, he is going to the offseason soon, what do you think then?"
"HOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
Before Keli could finish her words, the Arsenal fans next to her suddenly jumped up and let out cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami. Then, crazy commentary waves entered the cochlea from the speakers.
"Ronaldo stole the ball! Real Madrid take it! No! Oh my god! The ball possession changed again, and Chen Mo poked the ball away from the side! Ashley Cole is going to dribble the ball forward!!!"
"Arsenal's attack is coming!"
In the 12th minute of the game, during Arsenal's half, full-back Ashley Cole tried to dribble the ball forward from the wing, but faced with Figo's defense, he could only pass the ball back to center back Toure, who got the ball. He directly looked for Chen Mo in the defensive midfield position, but he passed the ball!
"Chance!"
Fatty was delivered to the door. Looking at the ball rolling diagonally, Ronaldo immediately rushed forward, but the moment he stretched out his foot to catch the ball, the wind came from behind his right ear. The next second, Chen Mo fell to the ground and let go. Shovel the ball away from his feet!
"foul!!!"
Raul, who was next to him, immediately raised his hand to signal, but Chen Mo slid the ball from the side and poked the ball away cleanly. The referee didn't say anything!
Just as Raul raised his hand in protest, Chen Mo had already climbed up and moved forward quickly, looking sideways at Ashley Cole who was holding the ball on the wing, and pointed his right hand in front of his body.
“Measure in advance!”
The moment the voice roared out, Ashley Cole's pass had been sent!
"Comfortable!"
"Don't even think about it!"
Ashley Cole's direct kick was very comfortable. Chen Mo didn't even need to adjust his pace to catch the ball while running wildly. But the moment after catching the ball, Guti had already covered the front!
Looking at Guti directly in front of him, Chen Mo did not slow down. He pushed his right foot on the ground, lowered his shoulders and feinted to the left. At the same time, he used his left foot to push the ball forward to the left!
The shaking was very large and the movements were very realistic. Guti, who was retreating, subconsciously lowered his right shoulder and prepared to turn around. But at the moment when he lowered his shoulder, Chen Mo's left foot did not touch the ball when he pushed the ball!
As Ronaldo chased after him, his eyes gradually widened. Under the dull gazes of more than 80,000 spectators and the open-mouthed Keli and Yuechi Xun, Chen Mo circled the ball with his left foot, kicked the ground, and plowed. Ground, exert force on the calf to stabilize the center of gravity, at the same time retract the right foot, put the instep of the ball on the ball, and push forward to the right with force!
If a strong wind blows in his face, before Guti has time to react, Chen Mo has already rushed to his left shoulder, and the next second, the afterimage disappears!
"Big pendulum!!! Oh my god! Chen Mo used a big pendulum in front of Ronaldo!"
"Don't worry so much! Arsenal all attack!"
"Oh my God! What kind of tactic is this from Arsenal?!"
Chen Mo dribbling the ball forward is a signal, a signal for the entire team to attack!
The moment he broke through Guti, Essien and Vieira in front continued to move forward and plunged directly into the Real Madrid defense, while Pires, Henry and Bergkamp on the front line instead retreated to support!
"what's the situation?!!"
The midfielder pushed up to the striker, and the striker dropped back to respond!
Vieira, Essien
Pires, Henry, Bergkamp.
——Chen Mo——
Super big change!
The commentator was so confused that even Beckham and Zidane on the field were stunned for a moment. At this moment, Chen Mo had already rushed to the front of the two of them with the ball!
"close the door!"
There was not much to think about in the flash of lightning. Zidane, who was in front of Chen Mo's left, immediately moved his steps to fill the position. The moment he moved, Chen Mo flicked his left foot and the ball passed Zidane's The right foot goes to Pires!
"Don't even try to get the ball!"
The moment he was about to receive the ball, Real Madrid right back Salgado immediately stepped in behind Pires, and in the next second, "bang".
Pires didn't stick to the ball at all, and directly knocked the ball with his right foot horizontally towards Henry in the middle. Beckham in front of Henry immediately got in and prepared to steal the ball!
But at this moment, looking at the ball rolling from the left, Henry stretched out his left foot to catch the ball. At the moment when the instep was leading the ball, he suddenly made a hurdle movement and let the ball pass under his crotch. Directly to the feet of Bergkamp on the right!
The next second, Bergkamp also kept playing the ball. Carrying Carlos, who was defending, on his back, he directly stretched out the outside of his right foot and flicked the ball to the feet of Vieira, who was acting as a wall on the back line!
"HOOOOOOOOO!"
"It slipped through! What a wonderful leak!"
"Bergkamp's outside instep pinball, oh my god! Tiki-taka!! Real Madrid's defense has been penetrated!"
Two incredible one-touch shots directly penetrated Real Madrid's defense. The commentator exclaimed at the top of his lungs. Even Keli and Yuechi Xun, who didn't know much about football, stared at the court with big watery eyes!
The moment the ball came to his feet, Vieira stood on the line of the penalty area without hesitation. He turned his back to the goal at a height of 1.91 meters, and directly faced Samuel with his back. Henry, who was flying towards the front, stepped on it with his right foot. The ball rolls the ball forward.
Set up the cannon!
Henry, who rushed over, swung his left leg and hit the ball hard, but the sound of the cannon did not appear. In Samuel's horrified eyes, Henry's swung left foot changed to a knock!
The ball rolled straight to the right. The next second, Chen Mo, who had never stopped, appeared at the end of the ball path. Without a trace of hesitation, he tucked his waist to the right, pushed the ball with the arch of his right leg, and the ball instantly passed Samuel. Send his crotch to the left side of the penalty area!
The next second, Henry, who had a second burst of speed, crossed the Real Madrid back line, adjusted his steps easily, lifted the shot with his right foot, and made a light upward arc over Casillas's left arm and sent it to the other side of the goal.
"GOLLLLLLLL!!! GOLLLLLLLLLL!!! The ball has been scored!!! In the 12th minute of the game, Arsenal took the lead! The goal was scored by the king of guns - Thierry HenNNNNNNry!!! This attack is so beautiful! Oh my God! They passed the ball directly into the Real Madrid goal! It’s just art!!!”
"Art! That's right! It's art! The incredible ground coordination! Now! Who!! How dare you say that Arsenal is not beautiful football!!!"
There will be another chapter later, right?
