He did not participate in the preseason, but Chen Mo did not stay at home every day. In order to clear Caniggia's legendary card as soon as possible and unlock Maradona, he began to focus his daily training on leg training.
This is no easy job.
Generally speaking, 100-meter athletes have weak physiques. This way their bodies will be lighter and they can run faster, but the problem is that their resistance will be reduced.
When Liu Xiang was hit twice by his opponent when hurdling, his focus and rhythm would be lost, and the confrontation in football was obviously more intense.
How to increase the speed to the extreme while maintaining the same antagonism, or even making it stronger, is very difficult.
Fortunately, Golden Harland's strength talent is very high, and it only takes time to polish it. Gradually, he can still maintain confrontation while maximizing his speed.
In this way, every morning, I would run and practice my legs, play ball in the sand in the backyard in the afternoon, and swim in the balcony pool with Yue Chixun in the evening, play with the cat, and have sex, and the days passed day by day.
On July 13, Arsenal officially announced the signing of Argentinian central defender Samuel "The Rock".
On July 14, Juventus took Vieira away from Arsenal, leaving a transfer fee of 35 million and also sent the teenager Chiellini.
When Vieira left, they all had a meal together. Chen Mo also went, but Chen Mo said very little at the dinner table.
Vieira left Arsenal for three reasons. The first is that Arsenal is preparing to rebuild.
Vieira is twenty-nine years old this year.
He looks young, but it depends on the style of play and the way he plays. Midfielders like Pirlo who rely more on their brains to play can even play until around thirty-five, but Vieira, who is 1.91 meters tall, Clearly not that type.
He has been at his peak for less than two years at this age. If he wants to win more honors in his career, he must find a team with immediate fighting ability to join.
The second is that Chen Mo squeezed Vieira's tactical position. Before Chen Mo came, Vieira was the core of the midfield, but now he plays more like a blue-collar player.
Facts have proved that Wenger's decision was right. Arsenal won the Champions League after correcting Chen Mo, but for Vieira, he was the one who was sacrificed.
The third is that the club also agreed to sell him.
Being sold off by the club is still very uncomfortable. After all, it is equivalent to being eliminated.
However, Vieira is a big man with a relatively cheerful personality after all, and he still wished Arsenal's generals a smooth rebuilding at the dinner table.
Shortly after sending Vieira away, on July 17, Ashley Cole left the team to join Chelsea. On July 19, Toure, Pires, and Campbell left one after another, and Bergkamp also announced his retirement.
Since then, only Henry, the main member of Arsenal who once set an undefeated championship record, is left.
In fact, the process of Henry staying was also very thrilling. His hat trick in the Champions League final made him a target for various clubs. During that period, there would be news about different clubs seeking to buy Henry in the newspapers every day.
But in the end, despite a small salary increase, Henry chose to stay at Arsenal and accompany the club that put him on the throne to tide over the trough.
While Arsenal is undergoing reconstruction and Chelsea is carrying out targeted reinforcements, the old rival Manchester United has also undergone tremendous changes.
The Glazer family in the United States spent 790 million pounds to acquire Manchester United. However, of the 790 million, the Glazer family only provided 300 million. The remaining 490 million was leveraged and was a loan from Morgan Bank.
In other words, the one with the highest debt in the world at this time is not Barcelona or Arsenal, but Manchester United.
But compared to Arsenal, although Manchester United is heavily in debt, it still has the wealthy Glazer family behind it. As long as the results are good, money is not a problem.
However, after all, this is a new arrival, and it is similar to Chelsea who only bought Ballack this season. Manchester United's team framework has also taken shape, and what needs to be done is targeted reinforcements, such as the depth of the bench.
On July 24, Manchester United successfully renewed Davis' contract and spent 4 million euros to buy South Korean star Park Ji-sung. At the same time, because of the conflict between Ruud van Nistelrooy and Cristiano Ronaldo, they spent another 5 million from Eredivisie player Feyre. Nord bought Robin van Persie and recalled Dong Fangzhuo, who won the Golden Boot in the second division.
Since then, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United have stopped operating in the transfer market and began to focus on training and preparing for the new season.
In such a tense atmosphere, the days passed day by day. Soon, Chen Mo, who was completely rested, returned to the team to participate in the preseason, but what happened next left Arsenal fans in silence.
On July 30th, they played at Highbury at home. Facing Newcastle, which only ranked 14th in the Premier League last season, with all the fans watching, Arsenal defeated their opponent three to two!
Defeating your opponent is a good thing, but all football-savvy fans will not be happy! Because this game exposed Arsenal's huge problem-the defense!
16-year-old Bale, 21-year-old Chiellini, 27-year-old Samuel, 24-year-old Maicon.
As a championship contending team, the average age of Arsenal's defense is only 22 years old!
Especially Chiellini and Bale!
Although Bell is as fast as flying, he is too young, inexperienced, and has a particularly strong desire to attack, which often leads to gaps behind him!
And Chiellini is a typical acclimatized!
Serie A and the Premier League are completely different rhythms. Serie A emphasizes that everything is based on defense. Often both sides will consolidate the defense first and then launch an attack, while the Premier League has a full offensive and defensive rhythm!
Who cares about so much!
Send the ball to the frontcourt first!
Chiellini looked very embarrassed at Newcastle's fast pace, and not only the two of them, Arsenal's proud midfielder also began to have problems!
Mascherano is fierce defensively, but he is only 21 years old after all. Compared with the mature Vieira, his ability to read the game is not enough. He often cannot send the ball to the right place at the right time, and his movement and response are not enough. Spirituality.
This means that when the rhythm needs to be stabilized, Chen Mo must control the ball more at his feet and wait for the opponent to get into position. The Premier League game is not the World Youth Championship. When faced with multiple double-teams, it is difficult for even Chen Mo to control the ball. The ball is under steady control.
If the midfielder cannot hold the ball, the pressure on the backcourt will be greater, and the problems of Bell and Chiellini will be magnified!
This is a chain reaction!
Fortunately, Henry, Di Maria and Giroud are all Chen Mo's old teammates. When attacking, Arsenal's offense is still relatively smooth and natural, even because Henry goes to his preferred left wing and Di Maria is faster than Bergkamp. Fast, their offense seemed sharper.
It can be seen that as long as more time is spent on running in, this offensive lineup will definitely explode with extremely strong lethality.
but!
Play against a weak team to see the offense, play against a strong team to see the defense!
Without a solid defense line, it is impossible to defeat a strong team!
Everyone who knows football understands this, so as this warm-up match ended, the outside world began to speak negatively about Arsenal.
.
【Falling into the quagmire! Arsenal's defense is a disaster! They will lose to Chelsea in the first round of the Premier League! 】
[A defensive line with an average age of twenty-two? ! Wenger is absolutely crazy! 】
[I swear, if we continue playing like this, Chen Mo and Henry will seek transfers next summer! ! 】
【Let Belle return to kindergarten! We need a more mature left back! 】
[Who is Chiellini? All I saw was a clumsy Italian! 】
"Oh, Rose, the news today is really exciting."
"Hahaha, that's right, old Jack, but isn't it so lively at the beginning of every season? How about it, are you learning the same thing?! I really have the talent to be a host, haha. Okay, welcome to the audience. Come to "BBC Premier League Football Channel", hello everyone, I am today's special guest Kate Winslet."
"Wow, welcome to the Titanic goddess, oh, Miss Kate, you are as beautiful as in the movie!"
"Really? But I'm sorry, I'm not interested in uncle, haha."
"Hey, that's such a shame, hahaha, okay! Hello everyone, welcome to the live broadcast room, I am your old friend Jack."
London, BBC Broadcasting Corporation Building, bright studio, a middle-aged white man and a blond beauty with big boobs sit at a round table against the background of night London.
Sitting on the left, the middle-aged white man wearing a small round hat smiled broadly: "Okay, from the TV scene just now, you should already know the theme of our issue. And I also chose a theme for this issue. The name is [Arsenal’s Last Afterglow]. I wonder what Miss Kate, an Arsenal fan, thinks of this theme?”
Kate rolled her eyes playfully, "Oh! Save it Jack, it's just a warm-up match. The first game of the season will start four days later. Everything is still variable!"
"Variable? What variable? Could it be that Arsenal's board of directors will suddenly give Wenger a large sum of money to buy players in the market? Oh, don't dream, you and I both know this is impossible!
Hey, speaking of which, Mr. Wenger is indeed courageous. In order to ease the financial pressure the club will face next year, he chose to dismantle the team at this time, but...it is obvious that Mr. Wenger's revolution has failed, hahaha, please Miss Kate and all Arsenal fans, accept my most sincere and cordial greetings from a Chelsea fan. "
With that said, Jack stood up, took off his hat and bowed towards the camera. Kate Winslet glared at her, "I want to give you a mirror to see your current face! Yes! Our Arsenal's current defense is We lack experience, but we still have Henry and Chen Mo! They will lead us to create miracles again just like last season!"
"Create a miracle? Come on, Hollywood movies don't do that anymore. Yes, your Arsenal did create history and win the Champions League last season, but that was not the result of Chen Mo or Henry alone!
It took Wenger six years to build this winning team, and now, it looks like you have to wait another six years. "
"Really, if six years can lead to a Champions League championship, then I would rather wait for another six years than to be like the team that some people support and never touch the Big Ears Cup in their life!"
Kate Winslet looked at Jack sideways, and the latter was not annoyed. He just smiled triumphantly and said: "For us at Chelsea, if we continue to develop with the current momentum, it will only be a matter of time to win the championship. The most important thing is the attitude after winning the championship. As a team, we can continue to play for many years and create a dynasty belonging to Chelsea!
And even if you win the championship, what awaits you will be rebuilding again. You will never be able to establish an Arsenal dynasty! "
Poverty is the fatal weakness.
Even though she knew that she was just here to make a cameo, even though she knew that this was the hot script given by the director, Kate Winslet, who was Chen Mo's biggest fan, still paused and stared at her big, watery eyes, "Yes! We are now We have encountered some economic problems, but as long as Chen Mo is still there, we will rise again!"
"Oh, Miss Kate seems to be completely fascinated by Chen Mo's appearance. I have already said that Chen Mo is indeed very strong, but a large part of the credit for his current height must be attributed to Vieira and Pires.
Let's see, without Vieira in the last game, how much he struggled? Oh, you seem to be very unconvinced, why not, how about we make a bet? "
"What bet?"
"If the post-match rating of the first round match can exceed seven points, I will kiss the donkey's ass. If it does not reach seven points, then... of course, as a gentleman, I will not let you, the beautiful, kind and honest Miss Kate, Go kiss the donkey's ass, you just need to admit in the MMC community that Chelsea this season is better than Arsenal...well, and old Jack is more handsome than Chen Mo, how about that?"
"No! Women can do anything a man can do! If I lose, I'll kiss a donkey's ass too!"
"Haha, it's a deal?"
"It's a deal!"
