June 24th, Iduna Park Stadium.
"Come on Argentina!"
"A black dog and a dwarf also want to win? Get out of Argentina!!!"
"Fuck you traitor and diving dog! The Portuguese have no loyalty at all!"
"You can still win the Champions League after holding Deco and Vieira's thighs for two times?"
"Champions League? Water crown! It all depends on the referee and teammates!"
"Poor Figo was kicked out by Real Madrid, but what are your new generations doing? Learn to dive!! Get out of here, Portugal, this is not the diving area of the Olympics, you are complicit!"
".You are really energetic."
Waves of insults from fans from both sides swept in from all around. Standing in the middle of the Iduna Park Stadium, feeling the rising summer heat, Chen Mo, who had no idea that Wenger was bragging about himself, bent over and rolled up his pantyhose. His face looked as usual.
There are many popular people.
As a top player, it is normal for him to be scolded by opposing fans. After all, there is a natural competitive relationship between teams. Chen Mo was scolded even worse when he went to play at the home stadiums of Tottenham and Manchester United. I even encountered a drunk female fan who stopped in front of a car and lifted her clothes and gave her the middle finger.
"Still...it's a bit noisy."
After putting the shin guards in order, Chen Mo stood up and cast his gaze towards the opponent's half. His calm eyes swept over the faces of Cristiano Ronaldo, Figo, Deco and others one by one. Then he walked to the referee, shook hands with Figo and bumped his chest. Waiting for the coin toss, this scene was quickly projected onto the television screens of thousands of households around the world.
"Now the captains of Argentina and Portugal, Chen Mo and Figo, have gone to the referee Ivanov to decide the right to kick off. Are you excited? Dear spectators and fans! The tense and exciting World Cup knockout horse race is about to begin. The two sides will It’s still Argentina and Portugal that attract the most attention!”
"Yes, I believe this game is definitely a game that all fans are looking forward to, and! In this game, Argentina still uses the five attacking midfielder system from the previous game!"
"Yes, it is really a very bold decision. Although many teams will change their playing style during the World Cup, most of them are forced to make adjustments due to injuries or suspensions. Only Argentina takes the initiative to make changes. , and it suddenly became so extreme! He Wei, what do you think?"
"In fact, in my opinion, this system is not coach Pekerman's initiative to change, but a natural evolution process, just like biological evolution."
"Oh~evolution? How do you use this word?"
"Obviously, Argentina's 3313 in the first two games was played around Chen Mo, and the significance of the three defensive midfielders is to help Chen Mo, so that he can freely display his talents in a very relaxed manner, but after watching the previous People who have played several games should know that Chen Mo actually doesn't need anyone to help him. His ability to protect the ball is so strong that he basically never loses the ball in the backcourt.
There is a very interesting set of data, that is, in the first two games, Cambiaso averaged 27 touches of the ball, 1 interception, and 1 steal per game.
As a main player who has played for 90 minutes, this kind of data is equivalent to being invisible, but this is not because Cambiaso performed poorly or is not strong enough, but because he serves as Argentina's midfielder. Standing behind Chen Mo, there was no chance to get the ball.
Chen Mo not only has a strong ability to protect the ball and does not need too many back passes, but also has a large running range.
There are generally two types of defensive midfielders, one is defensive interception, and the other is metronome. For example, they delay to let teammates pass back, adjust the formation, and then suddenly speed up after finding an opportunity to penetrate the defense with a kick.
Neither Cambiasso nor Mascherano has metronome characteristics. They are both defensive leaders, but Chen Mo never concedes the ball, and his sweep and interception coverage area is also large. This leads to Argentina's defensive end, especially It's that the defense in the middle has overflowed.
This is equivalent to a project that only requires two people to complete. As a result, you hire three people. The extra person is not useless, but unnecessary. "
"Haha, I think differently from you in this regard. It's not that a project only requires two people, but in the end we hired three people. It's that this project originally required three people, but Chen Mo can support both of them."
"Hahaha, yes, just like what Director Zhang said, Chen Mo can stand up to two others, which also allows Argentina to send more people on the offensive end. Look at their midfield configuration, D'Alessandro Luo, Aimar, Messi, Di Maria and Chen Mo, if you say that this combination can embroider a picture of Riverside During the Qingming Festival with their feet, I would believe it."
"It is true that they are all players who are famous for their footwork, but Portugal is not bad either. Look, oh, it is exactly what we expected before the game. Scolari still uses the 4231 system.
——Pauletta——
Ronaldinho, Deco, Figo
Maniche, Scotinha
Valente, Carvalho, Mera, Miguel
There are not many changes in personnel, which is similar to the previous group stage. "
"Yes, but I think the way of playing should be different, after all, Argentina has also changed to a 451 formation.
——Crespo——”
D'Alessandro, Aimar, Messi, Di Maria.
——Chen Mo————
Zanetti, Samuel, Milito, Heinze
Under this system, there are five players in the Argentine midfield. Messi, Aimar and Chen Mo all have the ability to explode in the middle. Di Maria, Heinze and the two wing combinations of D'Alessandro and Zanetti are also in The offensive end provides width to both sides, so I think there is a high probability that Portugal will not dare to attack in this game, and it should be more of a defensive counterattack. "
"It makes sense. Okay, the referee Ivanov has already blown the whistle to start the game. Argentina has the ball and attacks from left to right! Now let's hand the camera to the scene."
.
"Can you defend against counterattacks?"
The whistle whistled in his ears. Just after receiving Crespo's back pass, Chen Mo immediately caught the Portuguese players' full retreat. Upon seeing this, a smile appeared on his lips.
Without hesitation, he passed the ball diagonally to Messi before Portugal's single center Pauleta could grab it, and at the same time, he was ready to move forward to drive his teammates forward.
But just then.
"What the hell?"
As soon as he took two steps, Chen Mo noticed a tail following behind him.
Yes, Pauletta did not return to the front line to provide a threat, but continued to stick to Chen Mo's side, never leaving!
Man to man!
Under the bewildered gaze of all the fans, Pauletta started sticking with Chen Mo directly on the court!
".What the hell is Tie Tie tactic?!"
"Frontguard?! Haha, Chen Mo scared the Portuguese out of their wits!"
"Cowardly Portuguese!"
"This is the answer Scolari said in his pre-match press conference?!"
It is normal for a forward to defend the midfielder, but the most important job of a forward is to score, so most of the time the forward will move in the area between the opponent's defensive midfielder and the back line, like now, following Chen Mo all the way to the midfield. The situation is still too rare.
The audience was in an uproar, and countless Argentine fans booed Scolari on the sidelines.
The sound was heard, but Scolari, who had his hands in his pockets, didn't care about it. No matter how ugly the game was, it was better than losing. He just stared at Chen Mo and Pauletta with his small eyes.
"Guard him!"
"I can't help it. He thinks little Mo is too simple."
In the stands, Wenger shook his head secretly. Although Messi, Aimar and others had excellent dribbling and attacking and passing abilities, they were not playmakers and could not reach Chen Mo's level of consciousness that enveloped the whole team and could not unite the whole team. Come together.
There is no doubt that if Chen Mo's brain is destroyed, Argentina's midfielder will fall into a chaotic state of fighting alone.
but!
Do you want to restrict Chen Mo with a Pauletta to help defend?
What an international joke!
"Greedy guy, he thinks this Portugal team is qualified to play two attacking midfielders in front of Chen Mo?"
Not only Wenger, but on the other side of the stands, Mourinho, who had his hands on his chest as he watched Pauleta being led around by Chen Mo, also shook his head with disdain.
Even Chelsea under his rule had to replace the technical Thiago with the harder-playing Ballack in order to limit Chen Mo's lethality, and Portugal still sent 36 The year-old attacking midfielder Figo, and the fast-paced winger Ronaldo.
Obviously, Mourinho was determined to hold Chen Mo to death even if he gave up the pass in the middle. Portuguese coach Luiz Felipe Scolari wanted both sides, and the method was to let forward Pauleta retreat more to prevent Chen Mo from getting the ball. .
"What a naive and stupid idea. Has this guy ever studied Chen Mo?"
Mourinho rolled his eyes and complained to his friends. As Chen Mo's old enemy, he naturally knew Chen Mo's characteristics.
Why was it so difficult for Chelsea, which previously had Lampard and Makelele, to restrict Chen Mo?
It's not just because Chen Mo has strong impact and good footwork, but if it's just these two points, a muscular tough guy like Lampard can also make restrictions. After all, the whistle in the Premier League is very loose, and skills can be compensated by strength.
I couldn't help it, mostly because Chen Mo's running was so erratic and ghostly!
[The last second he was still in front of me, and when he turned around to observe and looked back, he had already appeared a few meters away. He seemed to be able to predict when I would observe the situation on the field, and then use this gap to move]
This sentence was the message Mourinho received from Lampard and Makelele after Chelsea lost to Arsenal last season. Then he started watching a lot of Chen Mo's game videos.
It's not a high shot, but a close-up where you can see the details of the head!
Frame by frame, we will break down the details of every time Chen Mo moved his head and observed, and every time his opponent made a subconscious action, Chen Mo's reaction.
I spent two weeks watching all Chen Mo's games from the Copa del Rey to the second half of the first Premier League season, researching the materials and writing several whiteboards.
In the end, Mourinho came to the conclusion - [Fuck you, I will buy someone].
There is no way to make a defensive arrangement!
Chen Mo's observation ability is at the monster level. He is always looking for the opponent's loopholes. Even if his eyes are slightly diverted, he can seize the opportunity to escape.
There must be no defensive slot in the entire midfield, and the iron bars must be melted into an airtight iron block to lock him down!
The development of things is pretty much what Mourinho had in mind.
At the beginning of the game, facing Pauleta's assisting defense and Deco's aggressive attack, Chen Mo was still a little uncomfortable holding the ball, and the whole team was running a little uncomfortable.
But soon, when the game reached the 13th minute, Chen Mo, who had already observed enough "information" about Pauletta, began to chop up his own rhythm, jamming every move he made into Pauletta's distraction. In fragments of time.
With fans all over the world watching, a strange scene happened.
It was like Su Mu was holding a husky. Every time Chen Mo ran away for a certain distance, the thread would be tightened and pulled, and Pauletta would be pulled over after reacting.
At first, the feeling was not obvious, but as time went by, the line between the two became longer and longer!
"Damn it! I can't grab the ball! If this continues, my physical fitness may not be able to keep up. Wait! Where are the others?!"
"HOOOOO! Beautiful forward penetration! Chen Mo got rid of Pauletta!"
In the seventeenth minute of the game, Pauleta, who had not touched the ball once in the previous seventeen minutes, was a little anxious, and at this moment the passionate roar of the commentator resounded throughout the stadium, deafening!
What the hell? !
Am I being rid of? !
Pauletta's pupils shrank and he immediately turned his head, but only then did he realize that Chen Mo had disappeared. Standing behind him now was Zanetti, the guest midfielder who had completed his replacement!
"Figo failed to intercept the ball! Aimar sent a diagonal pass, and Chen Mo was about to get the ball!"
"Messi and Di Maria hit each other at high speed on the right! As long as Chen Mo gets past Deco, the situation will be in full swing!"
The passionate commentary echoed in every corner of the world, and countless viewers in front of the TV stood up and looked at the screen with wide eyes!
"Don't even think about it!"
call--!
The off-field factors were unknown. Chen Mo, who was rushing forward, could only hear the roaring wind in his ears. He glanced at the through ball coming from the left rear, then turned to look at Deco and his right-hand man, who was wide-eyed and lowered his center of gravity. Two vague yet familiar figures appeared in the peripheral vision.
"Can't stay!"
In the flash of lightning, Chen Mo's eyes narrowed, and he stretched out the instep of his left foot to face the ball rolling from behind, like stopping but also pushing!
"He's a right-footer!"
"Messi and Di Maria are also on the right!"
Time seemed to be stretched out. After all, he was the core player of two Champions League teams. Staring at Chen Mo's left foot, Deco's eyes widened. His center of gravity did not move at all. The next second, Chen Mo's outstretched left foot indeed passed over the ball. , At the same time, Chen Mo supported his left foot and circled the ball with his right foot again, with the instep facing the ball!
"It's now!"
Chen Mo rushed towards the ball and could not block it with his own body. Deco decisively extended his left foot to intercept, but the moment he extended his foot, his eyes widened suddenly!
Chen Mo's right foot bypassed the ball again, and at the same time, the frequency of his foot suddenly accelerated. He hooked the instep of his left foot to touch the ball, and then moved hard to the left!
"Cycling!!! HOOOOOOOOO! Riding a bicycle is so elegant!"
"Deco was passed!!! Chen Mo singled out midfielder Scottinha!!!"
Astonishing skills!
The midfielder rode a bicycle to pass people, and the whole audience exclaimed, No! The whole world was shocked!
This is the World Cup knockout match that attracts worldwide attention!
Under the watchful eyes of fans all over the world, Chen Mo rode a bicycle at high speed and passed Deco, dribbling the ball towards the left side of the Portuguese penalty area. Portugal asked the right midfielder Scotinha to immediately move sideways, and at the same time, the right back Miguel also turned inward. Take it, block Chen Mo!
"Defense two and defend one! Chen Mo is in trouble! Where are the teammates who are supporting him from the wing?!"
"Where's D'Alessandro??? Oh my God! He penetrated me diagonally!!"
In the left half, Chen Mo passed Deco's pass and rushed forward to the left. Aimar and D'Alessandro made diagonal cuts towards the top of the right arc. In the right half, Di Maria pulled to the sideline to provide width, while Messi He tightly held the Portuguese left midfielder Maniche and Ronaldo by his side!
One person moves, four people cut!
All the fans around the world stared wide-eyed, not daring to blink. The next second, Chen Mo, who ran to the left and completely pulled the right midfielder Scottinha to the wing, directly kicked the ball with his left foot. Go to the middle!
"Don't even think about it!"
The right midfielder was pulled to the left by Chen Mo, and the left midfielder was held down by Messi. Portugal was completely undefended at the top of the arc!
Looking at D'Alessandro who was about to take the ball, Portuguese central defender Carvalho didn't hesitate at all. He gave up Crespo and sprinted to tackle. At this moment, D'Alessandro suddenly stopped his foot and hit the ball high. Leap high and let the ball slide backwards!
The next second, the ball rolled to Aimar's feet. Deco tried to put a shovel from the side to destroy it, but the moment before he put the shovel, Aimar, who had extremely delicate footwork, knocked the ball back directly!
Incline plug!
Find center Crespo one-on-one in the penalty area!
"Trouble!"
Mela, a high school guard who was 1.88 meters tall, had his eyes wide open. He pressed Crespo's back with his chest and stretched out his feet to intercept the ball. However, because he was in the penalty area, he did not dare to use it. Too much effort!
“There’s not a lot of pressure and I can turn around, but the goalkeeper’s positioning is very good!”
Feeling the pressure on his back and looking at the ball rolling in front of him, Crespo's mind flashed with lightning. At this moment, the corner of his right eye suddenly caught sight of a black shadow that suddenly accelerated and jumped out from among the other two black shadows. Li came out and cut into the penalty area!
"That is!"
Without any hesitation, he tightened his back to resist Mela. Facing the rolling ball, Crespo stretched out his left foot and pushed directly!
"Crespo scored the ball?!!"
"Chen Mo starts up so fast! Scotinha can't keep up, he's going to hit an empty goal!"
Overwhelming!
The moment he entered the penalty area, a huge sound wave instantly enveloped the whole person, but Chen Mo didn't pay attention to it. Looking at the goalkeeper Ricardo who lowered his center of gravity in front of the goal and completely blocked the blind corner, he just quickly adjusted his pace, and then, in front of everyone's attention, Then he swung his right foot towards the ball! ! !
Slash hard to the ground!
Crotchless!
"boom!"
It was like someone fired a shot in his ear. Before Ricardo could realize what was happening, the ball had already passed through his crotch at high speed! The Argentine fans behind the goal were holding onto the net as they celebrated wildly. The force was so great that it failed to land for a moment!
"The goal is in!!! Beautiful crotch ball!!! In the 17th minute of the game! Argentina opens the scoring!!! The goal is No. 24! Argentina captain Chen Mo!!! The road is as strong as iron, and now we are starting from the beginning. Yue! Congratulations, this is Chen Mo's first goal on behalf of the national team in the World Cup knockout round, but we all know that this is just the beginning of a legend!"
"The level of unity in this Argentina is unimaginable! Oh my God! How could Crespo be able to resist playing such a ball without himself?!"
"Yes! Sincerity is always the most touching thing! When you open your heart to others and treat them sincerely, others will respond spontaneously. This is what the ancients said, and it is a peach and a plum that goes without saying!"
Amidst the passionate roars of the commentary, all the Argentinian fans in the stadium were excited. The entire Iduna Park stadium turned into a sea of joy. And around the world, those fans watching the game were even more excited. Under everyone's gaze Chen Mo put his arms around Crespo's neck, and the two of them laughed and rushed to the corner!
"What a harmonious atmosphere, oh! The camera was given to Chen Mo's family! Oh, look at the old man holding the golden boots, he should be Chen Mo's grandfather Lopez."
"Yes! The golden boot he is holding in his hand is the golden boot that Guillermo Stabile, the ancestor of the Stabile family, won in the first World Cup in 1930! That World Cup, this The owner of the Golden Boot scored eight goals on the field! And now, 19-year-old Chen Mo has completed two passes and two shots in this World Cup!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, you are really young and promising. Oh! It's interesting. In Chen Mo's family area there are not only his girlfriend and relatives, but also Mr. Wenger. It seems that he really has a very good relationship with Chen Mo. Look Looking at the expression on his face, he was so happy."
"Haha, of course, his admiration for Chen Mo is well known. If nothing else, have you ever seen the head coach of a wealthy club bring a suitcase of research materials to invite a sixteen-year-old boy? "
"Hahaha, that photo is going viral on the Internet now! But compared to Argentina and Wenger, Portugal is a little uncomfortable. The marking tactics are obviously ineffective, but now it's just the beginning of the first half. Scolari It’s also difficult to make substitution adjustments directly at this time.”
The commentary was chattering, and from the Portuguese bench, looking at Cristiano Ronaldo with his hands on his hips and sighing, and then at the expressionless Figo, Scolari's eyes were tangled.
Substitution is tantamount to playing cards, the purpose is to break the game.
How to break the situation?
Now every coach knows how to break this scene.
Kill Chen Mo!
But how to press it? !
If you want to limit Chen Mo's performance, you have to arrange a large number of defensive players in the middle, but Portugal is lagging behind now!
If you are lagging behind and you replace the attacker, how can you fight later? Will the players' mentality collapse? !
The starting move was directly smashed by Chen Mo's kick!
Looking at Chen Mo who was celebrating enthusiastically next to him, Scolari frowned, and the light in his eyes became more and more fierce!
