"There's some trouble."
Taking a look at Messi, who was being carried by Ronaldinho at the corner, Chen Mo bent over and rolled up his pantyhose, and then took a look at his other teammates on the field.
Veterans like Henry and Maicon were fine, but Mascherano, Chiellini, Bale and others all had a look of loss and hesitation on their faces.
Arsenal's state has been ups and downs this season. They have suffered huge pressure from public opinion. Every time they lose or draw a game, they will be pulled out by the news media and beaten to death. Even some extreme Arsenal fans often criticize them. Insults from the stands.
Moreover, before the start of this game, there were many unscrupulous media who were also gossiping about [Arsenal may undergo another purge if they lose this game], [Bale, Chiellini, Maschera] Speeches such as "Arsenal will never win the championship again unless the trio of cancerous tumors leave" are popular.
A normal person would feel uncomfortable for the whole day if a teacher or leader said a few words to him at school or work, let alone being bombarded by the whole world.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo clapped his hands and gathered his teammates into a circle.
His eyes swept over everyone's faces, and Chen Mo, who put his left hand on Bell's shoulder, leaned over and said: "Don't feel nervous or hesitant. Didn't we already anticipate the current situation before the game started? It's just that the goal came earlier. , but it’s just that I came a little early, it’s not a big deal.
Don’t forget the tactical arrangements we arranged before the game. Now, don’t doubt, don’t waver, believe in yourself, believe in your teammates, and then implement the tactics seriously! As long as we can resist in the first half, the balance of victory will tilt towards us. Only then will the victory or defeat really be decided! "
"Understood, Captain."
"Just think about it. In fact, you don't need to be too nervous at all. We are still young and there are still many opportunities. Come on, come on!"
After hearing Chen Mo's words, the expressions on the faces of Bell and others became much calmer. Seeing this, Chen Mo smiled and put his hand in the middle of the crowd. Soon, high-pitched roars came from the crowd.
"Oh, you are so energetic. Look at the expressions on the faces of the Arsenal players. They are obviously much more relaxed. It seems that Chen Mo just said something."
"Haha, it should be so. I remember watching an interview with Vieira when he left Arsenal. At that time, the reporter asked him what he thought about Chen Mo becoming the youngest captain in Arsenal's history.
Vieira said at the time that Chen Mo's playing style on the court was very wild and domineering, but in fact he was not the type who liked to get angry or yell at others. He said that Chen Mo had very strong empathy and observation skills and could understand his teammates. He is also willing to help his teammates whenever he needs anything. He is a natural leader. "
"Oh, that's a very high praise. It's just a pity that Vieira is no longer in this Arsenal, otherwise they wouldn't be in such a mess just now."
While He Wei and Zhang Lu were chattering, Barcelona's celebration ended and soon the game started again.
Still the same as before, under Barcelona's high pressure, Arsenal's ball could not be passed to the front court. As long as Chen Mo retreated to get the ball, Barcelona's strikers would immediately retreat to defend.
Except for Wei Shihao, no player would be stupid enough to try to pass three players in his own half.
It is very easy to make mistakes when passing people, and once you make a mistake and lose the ball in your own half, the goal will face a huge threat, not to mention the opponent has three players.
Not wanting to take the risk of dribbling the ball in their own half, Arsenal could only retreat in the backcourt in the face of Barcelona's high press.
Not long after, as Maicon made a pass error from the side, Barcelona regained the ball.
However, this time the entire Arsenal team was not in a hurry, but began to actively counterattack, trying to push Barcelona's formation back without showing any weakness at all!
Soon, with all the fans watching, Arsenal and Barcelona started the meat grinder mode in the midfield!
Not the kind of muscle collision against Chelsea or Manchester United, but all kinds of interceptions!
Xavi and Deco are both midfielders with top-level consciousness, but Chen Mo and Modric also have top-level consciousness, and Ma Xiaomao is also a purely defensive midfielder!
In this way, the ball rights are constantly exchanged, but unlike Barcelona who want to quickly advance towards the Arsenal goal every time they get the ball, Arsenal prefers a conservative midfield kick after getting the ball.
There is no way, if you want to intercept, Chen Mo has to retreat to a deep position, and Eto'o did not stay buried in the back line in this game, but moved in the midfield area. As soon as Chen Mo got the ball, he would immediately mark him. As a result, Chen Mo was unable to dribble the ball forward immediately.
"Hang in there, boys!"
On the sidelines, watching the players flying on the green field, Wenger unconsciously picked up his chin.
Now the score is behind, but there is no expression of disappointment in his eyes, but full of expectation. Just like Chen Mo said, they have deduced all this in the pre-match arrangements!
Barcelona can now suppress Arsenal not only because of their superb ball control skills, but also because of their unrelenting high-position press!
Just now is the best example. Chen Mo was able to gain an advantage after pressing forward against Xavi, but his teammates were unable to send the ball to the frontcourt due to Barcelona's pressing. The rash pass was likely to be intercepted!
But there is always a price.
The high press blocked Arsenal's offensive and gave Barcelona more possession of the ball, but at the cost of a rapid decline in physical fitness!
In the entire history of football, except for a few super physical monsters, there are not many players who can press hard for 90 minutes without interruption.
What's more, even Ronaldinho and Eto'o had to retreat to the center circle to press for Chen Mo. You can imagine the physical exertion of Barcelona.
When physical fitness drops to a certain level, there will naturally be no more high-position pressing.
Without the high-position press, Arsenal can easily get the ball past half-court. Coupled with the tired Barcelona players, Chen Mo's offensive power will be completely released and even strengthened by then!
"This is like an old fox!"
Wenger was looking forward to it in his heart. As time passed by, Rijkaard gradually figured out the taste, but he couldn't make any adjustments.
Barcelona can now suppress Arsenal and make Chen Mo exhausted on the defensive end. This is because Arsenal's high press prevents Arsenal from passing the ball.
Once Barcelona starts to conserve their energy and allows Chen Mo to find a chance to get the ball in the frontcourt, the situation will immediately turn around!
This is a conspiracy!
Either Barcelona will completely shut down Arsenal before they run out of energy, or they will wait for Arsenal to counterattack!
Not only did Rijkaard understand Arsenal's intentions, but Harvey and others also quickly understood Arsenal's tactical intentions on the field. But before they could speed up the pace of the game, Arsenal took the initiative to speed up!
All players, including Chen Mo, became more aggressive in fighting and moved the ball more widely!
There is no purpose, just to burn physical energy!
The faster Arsenal runs, the faster Barcelona must increase to the corresponding speed or even higher in order to score!
Amidst the bursts of exclamations from the commentators and the increasingly excited gazes of the fans in the audience, both teams were like steam trains that kept adding coal to the furnace, running faster and faster!
However, Arsenal's defense could not guard against Barcelona. In the 43rd minute of the game, Iniesta passed Modric with a fried ball in the left midfield. He advanced with the ball and attracted Maicon to the top and then kicked to the left. Xiesai found Ronaldinho.
Without hesitation, Ronaldinho, who was sweating profusely, dribbled the ball directly into the Arsenal penalty area. With a simple bicycle ride, he shook Samuel's center of gravity and pushed the shot into the wicket.
Two to zero!
At the end of the first half, Arsenal were two goals ahead.
Ronaldinho ran to the corner to celebrate with a high smile on his face, but when he accidentally saw the increasingly solemn expressions on the faces of the Arsenal players, the smile on his face froze.
During the halftime break, looking at Chen Mo and other players who were sitting under the wardrobe with steaming heat and excited expressions on their faces, Wenger made no tactical adjustments or fed him any chicken soup.
It is difficult to equalize after being two goals behind, but it is not completely impossible. After all, Liverpool can come back from AC Milan even when they are three goals behind. It is not a fantasy for Arsenal to complete a two-goal comeback.
What's more, now that the morale of the entire Arsenal team has been raised, any more encouraging words will only be distracting. Therefore, during the halftime break, Wenger just emphasized that once an opportunity arises in the second half, he must seize it immediately!
Not long after, the second half began and Barcelona had the ball.
Just after the game started, Arsenal immediately fought frantically in the midfield with a full rhythm and gave Barcelona no chance to breathe!
"Huh-huh-"
"about there."
In an increasingly tense atmosphere, the game soon reached the 81st minute, when the ball was shoveled out of the sideline by Iniesta again.
Listening to Deco's heavy breathing next to him, which he tried his best to suppress, but could not suppress at all, and looking at Harvey's chest, which was panting with his knees propped up and rising and falling violently like a bellows, Chen Mo knew what was going on.
Without hiding it, under the frowning gazes of countless fans and Barcelona players, Chen Mo raised his left hand and slowly made a pistol gesture.
"Ouch! It's a pistol again! Is Arsenal about to start an attack?!"
"With only fifteen minutes left in the game and two goals behind, can Arsenal create a miracle?!"
Zhang Lu and He Wei were chattering, but the players on the field didn't care about all this. Everyone was staring at Maicon on the sideline. The moment Chen Mo stepped forward to respond, Ronaldinho and Deco immediately defended each other. , and at this moment, a smile appeared on Chen Mo's lips.
"You've been fooled."
The moment Maicon was about to serve, Modric, who had been in the left midfield, suddenly stepped forward diagonally!
Arsenal doesn’t just have Chen Mo, a super physical monster!
Modric looks thin, but as a 33-year-old man who can still run an average of 12 kilometers per game in the 2018 World Cup, there is no doubt that he is also a super physical monster!
"Defend!"
The moment he saw Modric advancing, Inesta immediately turned sideways to follow him, but when he started, his left thigh suddenly felt weak as he pushed off the ground. Modric shakes off!
Pick the persimmons that are soft!
Although Xavi and Deco are not physical monsters, they are both physically strong players, with only Iniesta's physical fitness being weaker.
In the previous 80 minutes, Chen Mo had been switching positions with Modric, deliberately looking for Iniesta to engage in physical confrontation, a high-intensity physical confrontation that squeezed flesh and blood!
On the sideline, when he saw Modric getting rid of Iniesta, Chen Mo didn't say anything, just pushed past Deco and rushed forward along the right road!
"Damn, he's so strong!"
"So fast!"
They chased back, but after just two kicks, Ronaldinho and Deco painfully discovered that Chen Mo was running further and further away from their sight!
It has a super speed of 99%, and there is no physical problem, so the speed is naturally fast!
Chen Mo pushed away Deco and Ronaldinho with two kicks, and made a diagonal pass from the right to the middle. At the same time, Modric also received Maicon's powerful hand throw!
"Xiao Mo's speed is too fast, even if he tries to catch up, he won't be able to catch up!"
Face two against one!
Looking at Modric coming forward with the ball from the right, and Chen Mo diagonally dipping behind him from the left, Xavi, who was standing in the midfielder position, gave up on Chen Mo without any hesitation and moved sideways to defend Modric.
The moment he turned sideways, Modric pushed the arch of his right foot and sent a through ball to the left!
"Harvey got passed over!"
"Chen Mo faced Barcelona's defense!
! "
The commentator exclaimed, and all the Arsenal fans stood up with their heads held in their hands. Under everyone's gaze, Chen Mo quickly rushed towards the Barcelona defense with the ball!
Chen Mo, who was advancing at high speed, could not be stopped at all. Everyone knew this, not to mention that there were Henry and Di Maria on both sides who were always ready to wait for the ball behind them.
There was no way, Barcelona's entire defense line could only shrink to the center and retreat sideways. In just two blinks, Chen Mo had already advanced the ball to the thirty-meter area. At this moment, Chen Mo turned his head vaguely and glanced at Henry's position. left.
"He's going to pass on Henry?!"
In the blink of an eye, Puyol moved a step to the left, revealing a gap in the back line. At this moment, with his eyes gradually widening, Chen Mo stepped forward and faced the ball with his right foot. A swing!
Outer instep!
Left bracket half-moon scimitar!
He shot with his right foot, but the arc of the ball did not reach the right side of the Barcelona goal. Under the desperate gaze of Puyol, who turned around to intercept the header, the ball was thrown in the air and arced to the left, grazing goalkeeper Valdes. The ten fingers are directly connected to the upper left corner of the goal!
"World Wave! Oh my god, Chen Mo launched a World Wave!
! In the 81st minute of the game, Arsenal pulled one back! Two to one! The game is still suspenseful!
! "
"A very, very beautiful long-range shot! Chen Mo found a glimmer of hope for Arsenal! But I have to say...he is really very sophisticated, haha, deliberately using his iconic pistol gesture to attract the attention of all Barcelona players , but no one expected that Maicon's hand-thrown ball was not given to him, but to Modric, who had hardly made any forward moves in the previous 80 minutes!
Hey, the replay is here. Look, look, look what I said, haha, Chen Mo deliberately raised his head to look at Henry on the left before shooting. Look, it was this moment that made Puyol make a wrong judgment! "
"Indeed, Chen Mo is not a player who pursues statistics very much. In previous games, he has repeatedly passed the ball to teammates who are in a better position to shoot empty goals. I guess it is also because of his past performances that he was forced to do so. Puyol made a mistake."
"Chen Mo is invincible!
! "
"We have Chen Mo!
! "
The commentator was very excited. The Arsenal fans who had been holding back for 80 minutes in the stands were even more excited and sang. Some enthusiastic and unrestrained female fans from Kington even lifted their clothes directly for Chen Mo!
"Quite big?"
"What a monster! Beautiful long shot!"
"Hahaha, you successfully fooled them all!"
The holy light flashed away, and before he could see clearly, Chen Mo, who had just rushed to the corner flag and punched, was pinned down by Henry, Modric and others.
"Yes! oh! yes!"
"Damn it!"
Looking at Chen Mo who was celebrating with a fist at the corner flag, Wenger also punched hard in front of the bench, venting his emotions freely, while next to him, Rijkaard had a troubled face.
Substitutions must be made, everyone can see that Yonesta's physical fitness has reached its limit, but...
Continue to attack or defend? !
What to do after a two-goal lead is recovered by one goal, the eternal problem in football is placed in front of Rijkaard.
