"What's going on? Chen Mo actually chose to play Chelsea's left wing?"
The commentator's confused voice echoed over the stadium.
Not only because Chelsea has Ballack as a defensive gate on the left, but also because Chelsea's left is Arsenal's right, and Arsenal's right is Di Maria and Henry is on the left.
Although Henry has only just returned from injury, his finishing ability and breakthrough ability are obviously better than Di Maria!
not understand.
The commentary was a little unclear, but soon, all the fans in the audience understood Chen Mo's intention!
In the seventh minute of the game, after receiving a pass from Ma Ma, Chen Mo acted as a wingman outside the right side of the Chelsea penalty area to attract the defense of Essien and Ballack and then split the ball to the wing.
Di Maria directly hit Ashley Cole from the wing.
Di Maria is fast, has good rhythm, and has strong breakthrough ability, but compared with Messi, he is still not good enough. He did not get any advantage when facing Ashley Cole, a left-back who ranks among the top three in the world, one-on-one. , Cole intercepted the ball at the corner.
Steal the ball!
The Chelsea fans in the stands suddenly became excited. For Chelsea, stealing the ball is equivalent to counterattacking. However,
The counterattack failed.
Under the puzzled gaze of Chelsea fans, Ashley Cole did not counterattack as quickly as before after stealing the ball. Instead, he fell into confusion and did not even know how to play the ball. Finally, he was forced to guard against Chen Mo and Di Maria. Helplessly, he kicked the ball out of bounds!
There is no way to fight back!
In the final analysis, it is because the person who shares the left corridor of Chelsea with Ashley Cole is no longer the fast winger Madhav or Joe Cole, but Ballack who has no speed and can hardly advance the ball on the wing!
Faced with this situation, even if Cole intercepts the ball on the wing, he must hand the ball to the center, and cannot directly break through like before and cooperate with the equally fast left winger, and
"Still so sharp!"
Looking at Chen Mo who was running to take over, Cole's expression was angry and complicated.
As Chelsea is a top team, it is impossible for Mourinho not to know about this big loophole, so the key to breaking the situation is Cole!
To put it simply, it is similar to Manchester United during the Beckham era.
Relying on his strong defensive ability and excellent long-passing ability, Ballack will assume Beckham's responsibilities, responsible for delaying defensive organization and sending long passes when attacking, while he, who is faster and more offensive, will rush to the goal. Play the role of bottom winger at the front!
However, the core of this tactic is that Cole cannot be too far back on the defensive end, nor can he be the ball release point at the moment of transition between offense and defense. He needs to give the ball to Ballack as soon as possible after stealing the ball. Then he goes forward without the ball and waits for a long pass to serve as the receiving point!
But Chen Mo understood this through just seven minutes of observation, so when Cole was guarding Di Maria one-on-one just now, Chen Mo did not rush into the penalty area to grab points, but stuck next to Ballack to cut off the passing route.
This will certainly result in the loss of some firepower, but in exchange, Chelsea's entire offensive system will be paralyzed!
Yes, the whole paralysis!
The key to defensive counterattack is to capture the moment when the opponent is still in the offensive stage. When the position is unstable, he can quickly counterattack. But now Chen Mo only plays Ashley Cole, and because of the abnormal staffing, this Even if Chelsea steals the ball, he cannot launch a counterattack on the spot.
Even if a counterattack occurs, it will be because Cole and Ballack moved the ball to the other side, and the offensive opportunity will be greatly delayed!
Who can be afraid of a tiger without claws?
In the 13th minute of the game, Arsenal made a comeback. Facing the ball sent by right back Clichy, Chen Mo resisted Essien on the right side of the Chelsea penalty area and stretched out his left foot to try to touch the ball.
"We have Di Maria on the left, and he doesn't like long shots with his left foot!"
"Turn left!"
After all, he was a teammate with Chen Mo, and he understood Chen Mo's characteristics very well. Essien, who was right behind the goal, immediately moved a small step to the left, leaving no room for him to turn left at all!
Sure enough, under Essien's excited eyes, Chen Mo tried to turn left as soon as his left foot touched the ball!
"caught you!"
Without hesitation, the moment Chen Mo's center of gravity shifted, Essien immediately raised his left shoulder, pushing against Chen Mo's left rear shoulder blade.
The strength was very sufficient, and he exerted force secretly, but in the next second.
"boom!"
Muscle clash!
Under the shocked gaze of left center back Carvalho behind him, Essien was directly turned left by Chen Mo and pushed his upper body to the right, and his entire left foot directly left the ground!
"Are you kidding me?!"
Carvalho was immediately stunned. Even though Chen Mo was nearly ten centimeters taller than Essien. As the saying goes, one inch is longer and one inch is stronger, and strength means strength, but Essien was exerting force from back to front!
Essien's direction of exertion is much more comfortable than Chen Mo's!
And Essien himself is also a power player!
Was he pushed away directly? !
"He's getting stronger again!"
Not to mention that Carvalho was frightened, but Essien, who turned to the right, was also frightened. But after all, he was a muscle monster known as a big buffalo. He didn't hesitate in the blink of an eye, and immediately contracted his waist and abdomen, centering his center of gravity. Pull it to the left and it will be a top!
Dark power!
He tried to squeeze back Chen Mo who turned to the left, but in the next second,
Empty!
The feeling of missing something while walking up the stairs at night came to Essien's heart as he turned to the left. In his widened eyes, Chen Mo pulled his entire upper body to the left like a roly-poly and then quickly "bounced" to the right. , then pulled the ball with the instep of his left foot, and drove the ball to the right. However, his center of gravity was unstable and he fell to the ground!
"HOOOO! Essien was knocked down?!"
"MMMagical! This feint is so beautiful!"
"Don't worry about that! Chen Mo is driving the ball to the top of the key!"
The back-body feint directly knocked Essien to the ground, and the whole place was boiling. The fans in the stands, the Arsenal players on the bench, including Wenger, covered their faces and shook their hands in surprise!
Chen Mo, who was dribbling the ball and cutting inside the arc, didn't know the reaction of the people on the sidelines.
Essien was right. His long-range shot with his left foot was indeed unstable. Moreover, Chelsea was setting up a bus at this time, and the penalty area was full of people. If he shot with his inaccurate left foot, he would probably hit the crowd directly. !
"We have to hit the wall and cut into the penalty area!"
"The passing route is cut. We can only take risks!"
He glanced at Lampard, who was coming in from the front, and then glanced at Carvalho, the left center back on the right who was defending him, and Giroud, who was behind Carvalho and guarding Terry.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Mo suddenly slowed down, and then gently moved the ball to the right with the tip of his right foot!
"What?!"
Under the panicked eyes of Carvalho, the ball passed directly under his crotch and was sent to the feet of Giroud who was competing with Terry behind him!
"Nice crotch penetration! Chelsea's defense has been penetrated!"
"Chen Mo changed direction and cut into the penalty area! Will the first goal come now?!"
The voice of the commentator instantly rose an octave, and all the Arsenal fans stood up instantly. Under everyone's gaze, Chen Mo suddenly stopped with his right foot and sent the pass without any hesitation, and directly made an inverted L-shaped cut from the top right side of the Chelsea arc. Cut straight into the penalty area!
After receiving the pass in the center of the penalty area, Giroud did not hesitate. He directly tapped his right foot and sent the ball to the area where Chen Mo moved forward. But the moment Chen Mo received the ball, Carvalho directly passed the ball to Chen Mo. The ball was shoveled out of bounds.
"Oh! My God! Penalty kick! Penalty kick! The referee pointed directly to the penalty spot! In the 13th minute of the game, the referee awarded Arsenal a penalty kick!"
Kavin, I’ll make up for the missing chapter tomorrow.
