"Is the turf filled with water?"
The sky is clear and clear, and the air is filled with a pleasant but fishy earthy fragrance.
Standing near the center circle, Chen Mo looked at the upper of his left foot, which was almost submerged by the overflowing muddy water when he stepped on it lightly, and then glanced at the expressionless Inter Milan coach Mancini on the sidelines. His expression suddenly froze.
Their Arsenal's main tactic is indeed ground passing. If there is too much water in the field, the team's passing and cutting cooperation, including Chen Mo's personal passing ability, will be restricted to a certain extent. After all, too much water will not only make the ball slippery, but also water. It will also make the ball's rolling trajectory more difficult to control.
However, Chen Mo was speechless not because of these small tricks, water injection on the turf, biased whistles, and cheering fans. These are all home field advantages.
One year's World Cup qualifiers, in order to advance to the World Cup finals and face the lower-dimensional opponent Jamaica, the United States even directly set the venue for the game in a stadium in Alaska.
Jamaica has a tropical rainforest climate with very high temperatures, while Alaska is a land of ice and snow close to the Arctic!
The weather, which is more than 30 degrees below zero and also snowing, makes the black men in Jamaica, who go shirtless every day, so cold that they doubt their life.
This is all about home field advantage, which can be said to be unethical, but there are no restrictions in the rules. In competitive sports where the winner takes all, looking for these reasons after losing the game will only be ridiculed as the cry of a defeated dog.
The reason Chen Mo lives in Bengbu is because there is too much water, and it almost feels like he is stepping on mud!
Moreover, Inter Milan's players are also a group of skilled players. Figo, Aimar, and even Veron and Cambiasso are all ground players.
"Seven Injury Fist?"
"Aren't you afraid of hurting the enemy a thousand times and damaging yourself a thousand times?"
Use your feet left and right, float your body left and right, and try to feel and adapt to the elasticity of the turf.
Soon, as the referee blew his whistle, Crespo served in the center circle and passed the ball back to Veron, who was receiving the ball in the middle. However, this time Chen Mo did not press the ball immediately.
In the early days, Veron played as an attacking midfielder, but because his speed was relatively slow and his breakthrough ability was not that strong, he now switched to playing as a central midfielder or defensive midfielder. Facing him, Chen Mo was confident that he could restrain him one-on-one, but he was injected Turf with excess moisture alerted him.
There was no pressing, but he stood relatively back, parallel to the left midfielder Modric, while looking up to observe Inter Milan's position.
At this sight, Chen Mo raised his eyebrows.
"442 parallel position?"
“No wonder we have to put so much water into the turf!”
The 442 in the parallel position and the 442 in the diamond position are both 442, but the tactical playing methods are completely different. The diamond focuses on midfield control, while the parallel uses the width of the court to fly together!
"Using the field conditions that are difficult to pass and break through to weaken our offensive ability in the middle to liberate the two wings? What a beautiful idea!"
As soon as he thought of this, without any hesitation, Chen Mo immediately raised his head and shouted, raised his hand and waved back, signaling the whole team to compress the formation backwards and not give Inter Milan any space behind them.
"Sure enough, he's still as sharp as ever."
Seeing the Arsenal team starting to retreat and defend, the admiration in Mancini's eyes when he looked at Chen Mo almost overflowed from his eyes!
Yes, Chen Mo's inference was correct. The reason why Mancini filled the stadium with water was to use the home court advantage to limit Arsenal's passing and cutting cooperation and the huge lethality brought by Chen Mo's breakthrough in the middle, so that he would not have to Forced to play diamond 433 that does not match the player's characteristics.
Of course, the slippery surface is not a decisive factor for top players, but it does increase the chance of winning.
Mancini was not too surprised that Chen Mo was able to see through his intentions so quickly. After all, Chen Mo has played for Arsenal for three seasons and won a World Cup. His style of play has long been included in his list. All the coaches stayed up all night studying.
It can be said that they understand what kind of monster Chen Mo is even better than Chen Mo himself.
To describe it simply, it can be described in three words - unstoppable.
Not only is Chen Mo's passing, stopping and shooting skills top-notch, but more importantly, Chen Mo's tactical literacy and decisiveness are also strong. He knows how to use the strength of his teammates to give himself a chance to break the defense.
Chen Mo is like a great white shark with human intelligence wandering in the sea on the court.
It is fierce and smart, and cannot be suppressed when there are no creatures of the same level in its own formation.
Understanding these things, Mancini will not be entangled.
If you can't defend yourself, you can only attack.
Chen Mo, who was seriously defending at this time, didn't know Mancini's thoughts, but as he led the Arsenal team to retreat, he still saw some clues from Inter Milan's positional tactics.
Inter Milan's double forwards are the tall Cruz and Crespo, who is excellent at grabbing points. The two full-backs are Aimar and Figo with sharp feet. At the same time, the midfielder Cambiasso is positioned deep and Veron is positioned. Position forward.
This set of personnel configuration and positioning can actually explain the problem. It relies on Aimar and Figo to get rid of one-on-one on the wing, and then either pass from the bottom to the bottom, or break through the bottom line to hit back in the inverted triangle, and the two high players in the middle Veron, who is the center forward and presses forward, is not only responsible for scoring, but also needs to restrict more Arsenal players in the center to create space for the wings.
The effect is very good!
In the third minute of the game, Aimar took the ball on the right wing and cut inside. At the moment when Arsenal right back Clichy was staggered, he cut inside and then dribbled the ball diagonally into the edge of the Arsenal penalty area. Facing Di Malia actively returned to defend and sent a low pass before the defense was in place.
The angle is very tricky!
The ball passed through Di Maria's feet, but it was passed too far forward and was directly confiscated by goalkeeper Lehmann.
The moment he pounced on the ball, Lehmann immediately prepared to launch a counterattack, but he stopped midway with the ball.
There is no way to serve the goal kick quickly!
Chen Mo was guarded by Veron and the inward-looking Figo, Modric was guarded by Cambiaso alone, Henry on the far left was guarded by Maicon and Materazzi, and Di Maria on the right, and Not to mention that he still doesn't have the ability to defeat Zanetti one-on-one. Aimar's breakthrough just now caused Di Maria to retreat into the penalty area.
The only two points that can get the ball are Mao Zedong, who does not have the ability to advance at high speed, and Chiellini, the left back who is more defensive!
The most important thing in counterattack is speed!
In desperation, Lehmann could only hand the ball to Chiellini, who had more space.
"Inter Milan's tactical arrangement is so targeted. Arsenal's counterattack is completely impossible."
"Indeed, it is mainly because the two full-backs of Inter Milan are so strong. Whether it is Zanetti or Maicon, they are currently among the top three players in the world at the same position.
Maicon's side is okay, Henry has a chance to dominate alone, but Di Maria and Zanetti's side is not so good, but the left and right wings restrict each other. If Di Maria cannot create pressure on Inter Milan's defense, , Cambiasso can easily go to Modric, and Inter Milan's double central defenders can also move closer to Henry's side to help Maicon relieve the pressure. "
"Yes, but Chen Mo was blocked because the winger Figo gave up the wing defense and moved inward to the center to cooperate with the defense. This caused Chiellini to have space. You said that in this case, Arsenal replaced Chiellini with Bale. How about Jelini?”
"Please, boss, you don't have to bring up the topic so abruptly. Haha, okay, let's be more serious. The main reason is that Bale's defense is not good. If you dare to let him replace Chiellini to defend Figo, Inter Milan will dare to defend Arsenal." Fixed-point blasting on the left wing. If you can't defend it, why talk about counterattack?! What's going on, Chen Mo went to the wing?!"
While chattering, the voice of the commentator suddenly rose an octave. Under the wide-eyed gaze of the fans in the audience, Arsenal changed their formation after taking possession of the ball!
Chen Mo took the initiative to switch positions with right winger Di Maria and ran to play as right winger!
"Walter?!"
A small change of formation, but in the eyes of Mancini on the sidelines, this small change of formation was no less than earth-shattering!
His eyes widened instantly, and Mancini felt goosebumps on his back. Then he rushed to the sidelines and shouted: "Back off! Back off! Defense intensive!"
"Intensive defense? Can you defend it?"
Listening to Mancini's roar, Wenger, who was standing next to him with his arms folded, smiled and shook his head. He looked up at Chen Mo, who was very close to him because he was playing as a right winger. He looked at the other side's engrossed face. He was already used to Chen Mo. The horror, Wenger is still a little emotional.
There is no doubt that Inter Milan's starting strategy is to hit Arsenal's wing, and it is to hit the wing on Di Maria's side.
The effect is also very good. Whether it is the defensive end or the moment of transition between offense and defense, it was difficult for Arsenal to deal with it just now.
This tactic indeed forms a perfect closed loop. Arsenal cannot counterattack, so Inter Milan's wing attacks will become more unscrupulous, and the defensive pressure will increase. Arsenal's two wingers also need to start to defend, which in turn leads to Arsenal's counterattack is more difficult, and Inter Milan's offense is stronger.
Perhaps this formation is perfect in Mancini's imagination, but the premise of all this is that Inter Milan can limit Arsenal's counterattack during the transition between offense and defense.
They can restrain Di Maria, but can they restrain Chen Mo, a powerful Tiger tank?
Not to mention Zanetti, the elderly version of Maldini and Ganesta are difficult to lock together!
If the defense can't restrain it, don't dare to attack wildly!
Yes, Arsenal's defense in the middle will definitely become weaker after Chen Mo moves to the wing, but the key is that Inter Milan's personnel configuration is not very lethal in the middle.
There are only two people in the middle of the 442 in a parallel position. Veron does not have a strong single-point blasting ability. He is strong in the last pass of the scalpel, and Cambiasso is an intercepting midfielder.
In this case, Modric, Di Maria and Ma Mao, who is assisting in defense, can completely handle it.
As for the forward, Cruz is a high forward, but he is a role player and his personal ability is not strong. He does not need to defend with two people like when facing Drogba. Hummels can defend alone, and the remaining Crespo It is Samuel who is guarding, and Brother Ma is assisting in defense.
That's why Mancini had an instant orgasm.
Chen Mo went to the wing. Inter Milan couldn't penetrate the middle and didn't dare to hit the wing!
With just one movement of position, Mancini's opening plan was completely in vain, and at this time Arsenal's offense was just about to start!
