"Chen Mo is too strong! There is no way to limit him!"
"It's so beautiful, this is the beautiful football of our Arsenal!"
"Liverpool will never beat us!"
"We at Arsenal~ are impossible to defeat."
"Awesome boss!"
"Hahaha, Angel passed it well!"
The excited voice of the commentator was accompanied by the enthusiastic shouts of Arsenal fans from all directions.
Chen Mo, who was deafening and excited, rushed to the corner and jumped for an uppercut. For a moment, he felt as if he was immersed in water, but soon, countless teammates rushed towards him, and Bell, who had the most out-of-the-box personality, jumped directly onto his majestic back. The back looks like a koala.
A group of people laughed and high-fived, but at this moment, Bell suddenly pulled Chen Mo's shoulder and pointed to the stands: "Boss! Look at that!"
"What?"
"A generous gift crab! This is so handsome!"
"Hahaha! This photo of the boss is so handsome!"
Just after he high-fived Modric, he turned and looked up from the corner flag following the amazed gazes of the crowd. The next second, Chen Mo's expression froze.
I saw a huge cloth poster rolled down from the top of the stands, and all Arsenal fans raised their hands in joy to help pave the way.
Soon, a huge poster was displayed in front of the world.
In the background is a huge goshawk soaring in the blue sky and white clouds. Under the goshawk, in the corner of the stadium where the fans are excited, is a naked upper body with tattoos on his left shoulder blade. He is kneeling at the corner with his back and his hands pointing in the sky.
His face cannot be seen, only the wet black hair hanging down from the raised back of his head, but the number 24 on the Argentine shorts, the iconic pair of black sneakers on his feet, and the tattoo of a horseback riding woman on his left shoulder blade, all Everyone knows who he is!
"Fuck."
Even though he was a self-proclaimed ruthless man, Chen Mo's pupils suddenly shrank when he saw the huge poster in front of him, and he froze on the spot. At this moment, a familiar tune sounded in his ears.
【Vamos, vamos Arsenal
"Come on, come on Arsenal
vamos, vamos a ganar
Come on, come on, we will win
vamos, vamos Arsenal
vamos, vamos a ganar]
"These guys."
More than 30,000 Arsenal fans sang in unison.
Looking at the posters dancing in the wind, listening to these Arsenal fans singing the modified Argentina support song in awkward and unfamiliar Spanish, but because they don’t understand Spanish, they just sang the first two lines, which made my nose feel sore just now. Chen Mo laughed out loud, put his hands on his hips and shook his head.
Rarely, under the spotlight, he walked to the stands with a smile, raised his hands and waved to the fans, "Vamos, vamos Arsenal, vamos, vamos a ganar."
The sound was not loud, but every stone stirred up a thousand waves. The sound in the stands became more and more enthusiastic. All the Arsenal fans were singing and cheering side by side. Feeling such a warm atmosphere, the teammates also walked up to Chen Mo and shook their heads together. Hands, laughing and singing, and this scene was transmitted to thousands of households through cameras.
"Oh, old Jack, this scene is real."
"We were conquered by an Argentinian, but that's the beauty of football, isn't it? Haha, here, people have nothing to do with dirty politics, nothing to do with that fucking hard work, everyone can release themselves to their heart's content. Send cheers and joyful blessings to your favorite players."
"Haha, yes, football has nothing to do with life and death, but football is higher than life and death! But to be honest, this poster is really well drawn. It was Chen Mo's celebration after scoring his third goal in the World Cup a few months ago. ?I remember that many people on the Internet seemed to use photos of this scene as their avatars."
"Hahaha, you raised the topic too bluntly. But it is true. If you have been to Argentina, to Rosario where Chen Mo was born, you will find that the streets and alleys there are full of graffiti with this photo.
And as far as I know, the Emirates Stadium had already finished the posters on the exterior wall, but the design was restarted after the World Cup, so now many fans complain that there is nothing on the exterior wall of the Emirates Stadium, but I believe that we will wait until the poster design After that, Arsenal fans will definitely feel that all the wait is worth it! "
"Yes, the waiting is worth it, just like Arsenal waited a hundred years for Mr. Wenger, and Wenger waited another hundred years and five years for Chen Mo.
The process may be a bit painful, but fortunately the result is perfect. I believe Mr. Wenger must be very happy now. After all, since Arsenal's financial problems came out, I estimate that the club that wants to buy Chen Mo will fill up Arsenal's office building. . "
"Hahaha, that's not as exaggerated as you said. After the first season, there are not many clubs that have the ability or confidence to take Chen Mo away, and this, I think, is why Arsenal fans You must like Chen Mo so much."
"That's right. Well, Arsenal's celebration is over and the game is about to restart. Let's see how Liverpool respond. After all, this is their home ground of Anfield. I believe that neither the fans nor the players want to be there. Lost here to Arsenal."
The commentary was rambling, and amid the cheers of the audience, Chen Mo raised his arms and clapped, then retreated to prepare for defense.
Passing by Xiaofa and Gerald, he still smiled and shrugged.
"This annoying guy."
"This annoying guy!"
Seeing the faint smile on Chen Mo's lips, both of them rolled their eyes. But he wasn’t too angry. Needless to say, the relationship between Xiaofa and Chen Mo was not bad. Chen Mo actually had a good relationship with Gerald, and
"Arsenal hero?"
Looking at the huge poster of Chen Mo at the corner, Gerrard's eyes gradually rose with fighting spirit and extreme desire! .
Chen Mo didn't know what Gerrard was thinking. Soon, as the referee blew his whistle, Liverpool high center Crouch passed the ball back to Xiaofa in the center circle.
Modric directly stepped forward to press, while Chen Mo trotted in the direction of Alonso. The aggressiveness of the press did not weaken at all, and even became more active!
Although they are one goal ahead, Liverpool is a very resilient team.
Not to mention one ball, they have played many famous scenes of three-ball and four-goal comebacks. The more passive the situation, the more intense their desire to fight.
Time passed bit by bit, and things were similar to Chen Mo's judgment. After the restart, Liverpool's desire to attack was obviously stronger than before. Whether it was Xiaofa or Alonso, the two of them also changed from being conservative in their passing choices. Be aggressive, give the ball to the frontcourt whenever there is a chance, without any hesitation!
"Want to speed up the pace?"
When a large-scale run retreated to the backcourt, and the ball at the feet of Gerrard, who was advancing with the ball, was shoveled out of bounds, Chen Mo pushed back his wet black hair, retreated to help defend, and at the same time set his sights on the Liverpool players. Thoughts running through my mind.
Liverpool's style is very extreme. To put it nicely, it's called a full-court press, but to put it worse, it's called a mad dog style.
Barcelona also presses throughout the game, but the first thing Barcelona does after pressing is to control the ball. They rely on ball control to control the rhythm. They wait for the opponent to make mistakes before launching an attack. Their playing style is relatively conservative.
Arsenal also presses the whole game, and their first goal after grabbing the ball is to control the ball. However, compared to Barcelona, Arsenal will not control the ball for a long time unless there are special circumstances. Arsenal's offensive style is more open and coordinated. , do it when you have the opportunity, and your style of play will be more aggressive.
Liverpool is even more extreme. If Barcelona's tendency to possess the ball is 10, Arsenal is 7, then Liverpool is 3.
He barely controls the ball, and his only purpose after stealing the ball is to immediately launch a counterattack. If the counterattack fails, he will continue to counterattack, and if he does, he will continue to counterattack!
Liverpool prefer a fast-paced game!
"The fast pace suits us well, though."
To put it bluntly, the fast pace means a high frequency of offensive and defensive exchanges. Both sides are constantly stealing the ball, counterattacking, stealing the ball, counterattacking, and opening up and closing.
This style is also very suitable for Arsenal, which has two fast horses in Bale and Di Maria on the wing. Moreover, Chen Mo and Modric are also good at seizing the opportunity to switch offense and defense to send through balls, but Chen Mo took a look at the sidelines. On the bench, there was some helplessness in his eyes.
"Henry's injury hasn't healed yet."
The fast-paced game is very energy-consuming, especially the two wingers, which require a lot of up and down movement. Arsenal's wingers can almost be said to have entered a state where no one is available except Bale and Di Maria. The Champions League group stage and EFL Cup are coming this week.
Three games a week.
"With a one-goal lead, there is no need to fight in this situation."
With this in mind, Chen Mo knew what was going on. When he stole the ball from the high midfielder Sissoko again, he immediately controlled the ball and called on his teammates to retreat.
"Oh, the front three have all retreated to near the midline. Are Arsenal trying to slow down the pace?"
"It should be that Chen Mo and Modric are both good at passing and controlling. Although Hummels in the midfield position is not strong in passing and controlling, now Bale and Di Maria are retreating. There is no full pressure in Liverpool. Under the circumstances, it is not a big problem for Arsenal to control the ball in the backcourt, but oh, listen, listen, the Liverpool fans at the scene started to boo."
"If you don't dare to kick, go back to London!"
"coward!"
"King of North London? Rat King of North London!"
"This is the world champion?!"
The stadium was filled with boos, and countless Liverpool fans booed Chen Mo, but Chen Mo didn't offend them. Not only did he not offend, but he continued to drag the team's formation backward!
"He's getting calmer."
Seeing this scene on the sidelines, Wenger had a smile on his lips, but was not angry at the fans' shouting.
For football players, it is certainly a matter of pride to win the applause of the opposing fans, but it is actually also a kind of pride to get yelled at by the opposing fans.
Just like Argentinian fans may hate Mbappe, but will Argentinian fans hate Dembele?
No, Argentinian fans will only hope that Dembele plays in every World Cup game, and even hope that he will live a long life and play until he is 70 or 80 before retiring.
and
The retracement is not entirely a helpless compromise.
"What a troublesome character!"
Next to Wenger, Benitez paced back and forth uneasily.
Yes, Arsenal are playing very conservatively now, which gives people the impression that the scene is not very good to watch, but in fact, when Chen Mo led the team to retreat, Liverpool went numb!
The diamond-shaped 442 of the twin towers uses the length of the court to create depth.
There are three benefits.
The first is to allow the midfielder to have more space to pass the ball.
The second is because Arsenal's players are very fast, and their two central defenders in Liverpool are both 1.9 meters tall and have strong frontal defensive capabilities, but the aircraft carrier is slow to turn around.
This deep position allows Liverpool's defense to face the enemy head-on without having to chase sideways when facing counterattacks.
The third is that Chen Mo can be pushed too far forward, unable to fully utilize his all-round offensive and defensive characteristics.
But Chen Mo is now directly hiding behind, using his height of 1.86 meters and strong jumping to cooperate with Hummels to pinch midfielder Sissoko. Sissoko has no way to catch the ball!
There is no way for the backcourt to directly pass the ball to the frontcourt players!
And more importantly, they, Liverpool, are now lagging behind!
Chen Mo didn't care how long Liverpool fell in the backcourt after taking control of the ball.
Now to break Arsenal's dense defense, all players must press forward, but in this case the team will lose depth space.
Not only can Chen Mo maximize his role on both offense and defense, but the impact of Bell and Di Maria, two fast horses on the wing, will also be unleashed to the maximum extent!
At that time, Arsenal were flying directly on both wings, and Chen Mo was rising in the middle to hit them behind Liverpool's two high center forwards. It would be difficult to defend!
"Everyone is working hard, or should we continue to draw the ball like this?"
Chen Mo's decisiveness directly put Benitez in a dilemma, pacing back and forth under the gaze of Liverpool fans behind the bench.
What happened on the sidelines had nothing to do with Chen Mo, and he didn't have the time to think about it. He just relied on passing and moving in the backcourt to mobilize Liverpool's pressing players, forcing Liverpool to press forward.
Time passed by, and in the 42nd minute of the game, when Alonso moved forward to find high center forward Crouch's pass, Chen Mo got stuck in front of him and headed the ball out of bounds. Beni glanced at his watch. Tes couldn't sit still.
"Press up! GOGOGO! Press up!"
Amid the boos of countless Arsenal fans, Benitez ran to the sidelines and put his hands in a tug-of-war position, while yelling for the entire Liverpool team to press on.
"It's finally here, haha. I bet a lot of fans fell asleep in those twenty minutes."
"Haha, who says it isn't? It felt like I was watching a tower defense game just now."
"Hahaha, there is no way. Liverpool's frontcourt personnel are not enough to break Arsenal's intensive defense. Similarly, Liverpool's personnel are positioned very late, making it difficult for Arsenal's defensive counterattack. But now Liverpool are pressing forward and taking over Counting the five or six minutes of stoppage time, it will probably be a critical moment that changes the direction of the game."
The explanation is verbose.
On the field, when he saw the entire Liverpool team passing the center line and looking at the full-back Warnock serving from the sideline, Chen Mo was keeping an eye on Sissoko, the high midfielder, and at the same time turned his head and shouted at Hummels and others: "Go back to the centre-back. Brother Ma, come and play as a central midfielder!"
Change the formation again!
The Arsenal players had no doubts. After all, this was the starting position. The only thing that changed was Pony Ma, who came up from the midfielder position, but no one said anything.
Mascherano actually played as an attacking midfielder when he debuted, but his offensive talent was relatively poor, so he was transferred to a central midfielder. However, his organizational skills in the central midfielder were average, and he finally played as a defensive midfielder.
Strictly speaking, he is actually a versatile midfielder, but his strongest point is interception and sweeping.
Everyone nodded seriously and immediately moved!
Hummels returned to the central defender and partnered with Samuel, one high and one fast, as a double central defender. Chiellini returned to play as a full-back. Ma Gemini partnered with Modric as a double central midfielder, while Chen Mo switched to playing the long-lost midfielder. Midfielder!
