After beating Inter Milan 6-1 in the away game, everyone knew that Arsenal had directly locked in the top eight after this game!
It has reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League for three consecutive years, and the momentum this year is obviously stronger than last year!
Maybe we can even win the Champions League!
Suddenly the whole North London crowd was excited!
Huge posters and street graffiti of Chen Mo can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, and children are wearing Chen Mo and others' jerseys to play football.
The atmosphere was very lively, but Chen Mo was already used to these things.
.
off day.
He was swimming, playing football and teasing the cat at home until about four o'clock in the afternoon. Seeing the sun setting in the sky, Chen Mo stepped out of the swimming pool on the second floor while holding on to the ground. He casually pushed his wet black hair back and looked at the big orange cat. He tilted his head and kept bouncing his head with eyes like a fool's.
In the private swimming pool, the water was changed every day. Chen Mo didn't bother to take a shower after swimming.
While shaking the water out of his ears, he dried his hair with a towel, sat on the edge of the bed and put on jeans, casually put on a macho pink loose sweatshirt bought by his wife, and squatted down at the entrance to put on Martin boots.
For those who have wives, going out during this time period is naturally not about eating or dancing.
"Hey, are you going to pick up Xiaoxun at this time?"
"Yes, eh, Mrs. Michelle, did you just get off work?"
"Oh, I'm really happy that she can find a boyfriend like you. Remember to come to Auntie's house to eat pineapple pie when you have time."
"Thank you, I will definitely go when I have time."
Chatting with the beautiful mature woman with blond hair and blue eyes, Chen Mo, who was carrying the big orange cat on his shoulder, turned around and locked the door, put on his sunglasses and cap, put his hands in his pockets and slowly walked along the path in front of his house towards Yuechi Xun's school. Go.
It's not too far from Yuechi Xun's school, but it's not too close either. It takes about twenty minutes to walk.
Driving is naturally more convenient, but Chen Mo didn't drive.
It's not that he doesn't know how to drive, he has a driver's license, but he just isn't suitable for driving. Every time he encounters those overtaking guys, he always wants to step on the accelerator, but since Yuechi Xun was scared once, he stopped driving.
Without driving, with Chen Mo's current popularity, it stands to reason that many people would recognize him even if he was walking on the road wearing sunglasses and a peaked cap.
However, in the past three years, as long as it was a normal day off, Chen Mo would usually walk to pick up Yuechi Xun at this time in the afternoon. The surrounding neighbors, vendors and students who came and went had long been accustomed to it.
Of course, being ogled by some sexy blonde sisters is definitely a must.
However, Chen Mo remained motionless!
joke!
I have to pay public food at night!
Moreover, Chen Mo always felt that it would be more interesting to have a spiritual connection with Meiko. After all, just by looking at each other, the other person would know whether to kneel down or stand up. That kind of feeling cannot be bought with money.
What's more, as they spend more and more time together, both parties are becoming more and more open-minded about desert storms, jelly sucking, and window sills.
I was thinking wildly in my mind, and soon, when the quietly flowing Thames River appeared in front of me, the Kingdom University of London where Yuechi Kaoru was studying also appeared in front of me.
Nothing to say, I walked around the court and arrived at the classroom door.
Very punctual, just as I walked to the back door, the bell rang.
Chen Mo, who was wearing sunglasses and a peaked cap, lowered his head and leaned against the wall. Accompanied by the gusts of fragrance, a group of blond girls walked past him. After a while, a pair of straight legs wrapped in jeans appeared in sight.
"Here you go, eh~saber~~"
Yuechi Xun greeted with a smile, then stretched out his hand to hug the big orange cat into his arms.
The weather was neither hot nor cold today, so she wore a playful pink shirt with the hem tucked into her waistband. She was quiet and comfortable but also had a touch of sophistication.
Looking at the big orange cat snoring in the soft white clouds, Chen Mo took the bag from her hand and walked towards the stairs under the envious eyes of some students around him. At the same time, he turned his head and smiled and said: "How did you study today? ?”
"It's good. There is a new old Chinese professor. I asked him a lot about the myths and allusions of the Dragon Kingdom."
Yue Chixun followed Chen Mo with a smile. It could be seen that she was indeed in a good mood. She was walking with a little bump, but just before taking two steps, she suddenly stopped and then followed up in small steps: "Oh, By the way, there is something very important that I almost forgot to tell you."
"What's up?"
"My father-in-law just called and said that a big leader in the Dragon Kingdom wants you to be their Olympic ambassador."
"Huh? What the hell?"
Chen Mo was stunned, and Yuechi Xun smiled: "That's the literal meaning. They are going to hold the Olympics next year, so they want to promote it. But being a publicity ambassador actually means the same as you endorsing Adidas. Just make a name for yourself and participate in some promotional activities, nothing too complicated.
Also, instead of letting you serve as the publicity ambassador alone, my father-in-law said that they are planning to let you and Yao Ming, who plays basketball, that tall and tall basketball player, serve as publicity ambassadors together. "
"That's it."
While walking down the stairs, Chen Mo looked thoughtful.
Although the Olympic Games are not as influential as the World Cup, they are also the world's top international events and will attract the attention of the world.
In this case, there are very few people who are qualified to serve as publicity ambassadors.
It’s not that there are no outstanding athletes in the Dragon Kingdom, but that except for Yao Ming, the influence of others in the industry is not enough.
The basic principle of the big bosses of Longguo in sports is "a small but difficult girl". Whichever project is less competitive and easier to achieve results quickly, they will pursue that project.
The effect is very good. For most people who don’t pay attention to sports or even know how influential sports are, it is natural to be very happy when the news and newspapers are full of awards and good news. But once you break out of the information cocoon and go to the world You will feel the difference when you compare them.
The most typical examples are Ronaldinho and Lin Dan.
Ronaldinho is a Grand Slam in football, and Lin Dan is a Grand Slam in badminton.
In terms of strength and honors, both of them are the best in their respective industries. However, when Lin Dan attended the Lawrence Awards Ceremony, almost no reporters or media interviewed him. However, Yao Ming, who had just landed in the NBA for a year, won the Lawrence World's Best Award. Rookie Award.
Football has a much greater influence than basketball, and although Chen Mo's nationality is not in Dragon Country, the whole world knows that he is half Dragon Country, and Chen Fei is also engaged in football youth training in Dragon Country.
By letting him, Chen Mo, be the ambassador for the Olympic Games, Long Guo can actually promote a positive image of tolerance and acceptance.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo asked: "Dad, what did he say?"
"Ahem, my father-in-law said [it's up to him whether he goes or not, but if he doesn't go, I, the poor old guy with half of his body buried in the ground, might be in trouble]."
"."
Yue Chixun, who was holding the big orange cat, imitated Chen Fei in a rough voice. He still spoke in Mandarin with a strange accent. The corners of Chen Mo's mouth twitched.
There is no harm in being a publicity ambassador. Although dealing with officials is definitely troublesome, Uncle Li Zhiqiang and his father also understand that he hates socializing and will definitely discuss the specific details in advance. He is just going through the motions and saying something. The mascot of the scene.
It seems good to be able to gain fame and fortune without doing anything, but Chen Mo is not short of fame or money at all now, and the Dragon Kingdom is really far away.
But dad
"He is indeed my biological father."
I originally wanted to complain about Chen Fei's thankless work in Dragon Kingdom youth training, but when I thought about it, I also refused invitations from Real Madrid and other wealthy clubs just to prove myself and to repay Wenger's kindness and the support of Arsenal fans. , Chen Mo had nothing to say.
The old Chen family are all iron-headed children.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo shook his head helplessly: "Okay, you can go and connect over there. But, you can't."
"It won't affect your game. I've asked before. I need you to go to Dragon Kingdom to shoot some promotional ads during this offseason, and then cooperate with you to give some promotional speeches before the Olympics next year. It won't be too much trouble. thing."
Yue Chixun answered with a smile, then changed the topic and asked: "Hey, is this using the idiom of the Dragon Kingdom called Returning Home in Brocade?"
"It's not a return home. I've only stayed in the Dragon Kingdom for a little over a year or two." Chen Mo shook his head. At this moment, he suddenly thought of something and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Hey, speaking of July and August, ? Wang Zihao called me a few days ago and asked me if I could attend his wedding in early August."
"Wang Zihao is getting married? Isn't he still in college?"
Just when he reached the school gate, Yue Chixun's eyes widened when he heard these words. Chen Mo's mouth twitched: "En is still in his junior year, but he seems to have made the girl's belly bigger."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, get married when you're pregnant, men are really not good."
"."
Feeling Yue Chixun's small eyes, Chen Mo scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, but unexpectedly Yue Chixun said something shocking: "I said, why don't you wear it tonight."
"ha?"
.
Although he has won numerous awards and has become a world superstar, Chen Mo's mentality has not changed much. In his eyes, weddings, marriage, etc. are still far away from him.
But this time Wang Zihao's wedding confused him.
Damn it, all my junior high school classmates got married!
I couldn't help but feel a subtle feeling that I had grown up.
However, this incident did not have a big impact on the lives of the two of them, but Okamoto gradually used it less at home.
Yue Chixun wanted to have a baby, and Chen Mo didn't resist having children. Sooner or later, he would get married and have children anyway, and the world without umbrellas was really beautiful.
In this way, with football playing during the day and gunfire roaring at night, the days slipped away day by day.
On February 25, Arsenal and Chelsea met in the EFL Cup final at the Millennium Stadium.
Because the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 will be in three days. Normally, even if it is the English League Cup final, Wenger may not send all the main players. After all, the gold content of the English League Cup is very low, and the prize money is not high. Basically only Only teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League will regard this trophy as a piece of cake.
However, Arsenal defeated Inter Milan 6-1 in the first round, leading by five away goals. It can basically be said that Arsenal has won the second round firmly, so Chen Mo and all the main players started in this game, while Chelsea It's different.
Chelsea, sitting at Stamford Bridge, was beaten 2-0 by AC Milan in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.
Kaka, who broke out completely this season, directly smashed Chelsea's proud defense and scored twice.
Football.
One family is happy and the other is sad. This season, Kaka rejected Real Madrid's sky-high invitation to stay with the Rossoneri, and the team has achieved such good results. AC Milan fans are happy, while Chelsea fans are speechless.
After losing 2-0 in the first round, the team's style was still a very conservative defensive counterattack. Not to mention fans of other teams, even Chelsea fans were already desperate, but Mourinho could not despair.
There is no doubt that if Chelsea are eliminated in the top 16, his coaching career with the Blues will also come to an end.
In order to cope with the Champions League three days later, Mourinho only sent half of the main team for this game.
A full set of main players may not be able to beat Arsenal, but half a set of main players will naturally be more difficult.
At the end of the first half, Arsenal took the lead with two goals thanks to Giroud's header and Di Maria's top-of-the-arb shot.
Leading by two goals, Wenger did not start to stabilize the defense at the beginning of the second half, but replaced right back Clichy with Bell.
Outstanding effect.
The main reason is that this is a final that determines the outcome in a single game. Chelsea, who are two goals behind, cannot consolidate the city. Once they attack, Bell's advantage of long-distance running can be brought into play.
In the 73rd minute of the game, Chen Mo picked up the ball on the right side of the midfield. Right winger Di Maria cut towards the top of the arc without the ball. His action directly took away the Chelsea left back. Bell took advantage of the opportunity and directly inserted it from the wing at high speed. , received Chen Mo's through ball and made a decisive pass, assisting Henry to score in front of the goal.
In the 88th minute of the game, Chelsea, who were desperate, pushed through the half, but their ability was not enough. Ma Ma succeeded in intercepting the ball at the top of the arc and directly found Di Maria on the right with a big kick.
Facing the defense of Chelsea's left back, Di Maria jumped high and used his pointed head to flick the ball towards Chelsea's half.
The amount of advance was given so much that the commentator thought he was about to go out of the sideline, but Bell rushed out like a bolt of lightning, took the ball and ran straight to the Chelsea penalty area.
Bell is on the right, Chen Mo is driving forward in the middle, and Henry is also driving forward quickly on the left.
Three arrows fired in unison!
Bell dribbled the ball to the front of the penalty area and faced the supplementary central defender without greed for credit. He directly knocked the ball horizontally to Chen Mo at the top of the key.
At this time, there were only two central defenders left in Chelsea's defense, one was guarding Bell and the other was guarding himself. From the corner of his left eye, he saw Henry leaving Chelsea's right back far behind and in an unmarked state. Chen Mo directly hit the arc. A wonderful miss at the top!
Under the desperate gaze of the Chelsea central defender, Henry took the ball on the left side of the penalty area, but instead of hitting the goal decisively, he directly stepped the ball into the penalty area with his right foot!
Henry's push to the far corner was very stable, but the goalkeeper did not dare to move to the near corner. The moment the goalkeeper moved to the near corner, Henry tapped his left foot horizontally and the ball rolled directly towards Chen Mo who was in front of the goal in the middle.
Knock back with an inverted triangle!
Seeing this, the central defender in front of Chen Mo immediately turned his back to the side, but this time Chen Mo still did not touch the ball, and once again let the ball pass under his crotch and directly to the feet of Bell on the right rear.
The goalkeeper was away, and the central defender was also attracted by Chen Mo. Facing the empty goal, Bell pushed lightly with his left foot and scored easily!
tease!
When Bale rushed to the corner and celebrated with an uppercut, the Chelsea fans in the stands began to curse and leave the field one after another, and the game eventually ended 4-0.
There was not much to say about the award ceremony. Chen Mo was not very interested in this trophy, not only because the EFL Cup has little influence, but also because the opponents in the final were not strong either. Anyway, just playing normally and the score was 4-0. .
Not exciting enough, but the explanation is verbose.
They all thought that Wenger was really short of money. He worked so hard in the EFL Cup final, leading by two goals and Bale stepped up his attack.
But Chen Mo knew in his heart that trading Bale for Clichy was not to win this game, but to deal with the subsequent Champions League games.
Especially AC Milan and Barcelona!
After Shevchenko left AC Milan, Ancelotti changed his usual diamond-shaped 442 into a Christmas tree formation of 4321.
The four players on the back line are lined up. Above is the midfield three composed of Pirlo playing behind the attacking midfielder Ambrosini and Gattuso. Above the midfield are the two frontline players Seedorf and Kaká. On the waist, the top is a single arrow Inzaghi.
This lineup has a strong attack power in the middle, including Kaká who has a strong impact, Seedorf who can beat one-on-one, and Inzaghi who can rank among the top players in history based on his ability to grab points.
But because there are no wingers, and Kaká and Seedorf are more active in the middle, the wingers are not very lethal.
In this case, Arsenal can completely replace Clichy with Bale, who has stronger offensive firepower.
As for Barcelona
There is no reason. Both Wenger and Chen Mo know that Arsenal cannot guard Barcelona.
Not to mention anything else, Ronaldinho and Messi are stationed on the left and right. Which team in the world dares to let the full-backs defend one against the other?
The wings cannot be defended one by one, and the players in the center must be close to the wings. However, Barcelona's passing ability in the center is the best in the world. It is impossible to win the ball without relying on the numerical advantage. This is not to mention that Eto'o is also a top striker. .
And the most important thing is
Messi and Ronaldinho's playing styles are very compatible. They are said to be wingers, but in fact they are both frontcourt liberos.
False nine, attacking midfielder, central midfielder, winger, except for the Zhengyin center, which requires extremely strong physical strength, they can play any position!
Not only can the two of them play in various positions, but the newbies Iniesta and Deco who have been established this season can also play in multiple positions, such as central midfielder, attacking midfielder, winger, and Deco can even play as a defensive midfielder!
Barcelona's midfielders and frontcourt players can swap positions infinitely!
This directly results in other teams having no way to make targeted defensive arrangements against Messi and Ronaldinho that rely on the movement of the entire team's formation.
This kind of team cannot be defended, they can only attack to see who scores more goals.
However, the second round of the top 16 has not yet started, and it is still unclear whether they will meet Barcelona and AC Milan.
What if AC Milan meets Liverpool?
What if Barcelona meets Bayern?
No one can predict what the future holds.
This is indeed the case. On the second training day after the EFL Cup final, Chen Mo, who had always been a perfect attendee, suddenly asked for leave.
sick leave!
Chen Mo is sick? !
After receiving the news, Wenger was immediately stunned and rushed to Chen Mo's home.
Looking at Chen Mo lying on the hospital bed, his face was full of anxiety, but after confirming that Chen Mo only had a fever caused by a cold, his anxious heart calmed down.
It fell, but not that much.
For people who don't get minor illnesses all year round, when they get sick, it's basically a serious illness. Chen Mo's fever reached 39.17 degrees this time, which is already considered a high fever.
Tomorrow's second round match against Inter Milan will definitely not be played, but Wenger doesn't worry about it. Even without the absolute core of Chen Mo, who has a five-goal advantage, he is absolutely sure to win. He is just teaching Yue Chi Xun how to do it like an elder in the family. He didn't take good care of Chen Mo.
In response to this, Chen Mo, who was lying on the hospital bed, just smiled and winked at Yue Chixun, who lowered his head to admit his mistake, causing the latter to blush.
Everything has its effect for a reason. Last night, Yuechi Xun was rewarded with a lot of money.
Money is not the key, the key is recognition. The excited Yue Chixun put on the JK uniform from his student days in the middle of the night and pulled Chen Mo to the balcony. Under the moon, the little fox climbed the tree.
It felt great, but the uniform from the student days definitely didn't fit the body of Yuechi Xun, who was already standing tall on the mountain. The flesh was stretched out, so that's why.
On the railing, he was sweating profusely and his pores were swelling and shrinking. Coupled with the lukewarm night wind in early March, Chen Mo shivered.
It's cold.
Chen Mo's fever was big news. You must know that he has been working almost full time for the past three years, so not only Wenger, but also his teammates came to express condolences one by one. As a result, Henry, a 30-year-old master, was also infected by chance. cold.
The next day, watching the Arsenal players and Inter Milan players running around on the court, the brothers Chen Mo and Henry could only sit in the stands and sniff.
The two of them are the core of Arsenal in tandem. Neither of them is on the field. Even if they are leading by five goals, the fans are a little worried. After all, everything is possible in the world of football.
However, not long after the game started, the fans let go of their hanging hearts.
In this game, Wenger asked Bale to replace Henry as the left winger, and also asked Hummels to move up to the midfielder position to form a double midfielder with Mao Zedong. The organizational task was completely handed over to Modric.
The effect is very good. Although Modric does not have the strong explosive ability of Chen Mo, he has experienced nearly two seasons of polishing and is actually not inferior to Chen Mo in terms of organization.
There is no problem for him to play as the core of the midfield, but because Arsenal's center Giroud is a center forward assigned by Wenger based on Chen Mo's characteristics and does not have the ability to make personal breakthroughs, Arsenal's offensive threat in the middle is greatly reduced.
It's not a big problem that the offensive firepower becomes smaller, as long as they don't concede five goals in a row.
Not long after, as the game entered the intermission at 0-0, the two of them stopped watching the game.
Chen Mo originally said he would go to the VIP box to play FIFA, but when Modric and the others came out, they would go together, but Henry secretly took him to Starbucks.
"Let me tell you, I recently discovered a particularly fun game!"
Under Chen Mo's slightly confused gaze, Henry took out his laptop from his bag, connected it to the Internet cable and opened a WOW icon on the desktop.
Not long after, a human female thief holding an egg knife appeared in front of Chen Mo.
"."
"How about it! Isn't it handsome? I spent a lot of DKP to get this Azzinoth's war blade! The rookie warrior in the team still wants to steal it from me!"
"."
Seeing the extremely excited look on Henry's face, he controlled his human female thief to sneak around in Stormwind City.
The corner of Chen Mo's mouth twitched. How could he not know that this is the most popular online game World of Warcraft in recent years? But... what the hell is a shemale account?
I despise it very much in my heart!
However, under Henry's repeated persuasion, Chen Mo was stunned when he registered an account and came to the character creation interface.
Orcs, tauren, undead. Each one is uglier than the last!
After much deliberation, Chen Mo finally created a human female warrior.
Under Henry's guidance, the two of them sat in the cafe, eating and playing games. What they didn't realize was that there was a reporter with a Dragon Kingdom Sports News badge next to them who took pictures of everything.
.
[Longguo Sports News: Electronic heroin does a lot of harm to people! Chen Mo and Henry were unable to play because they were addicted to video games! 】
Early the next morning, horrific news swept across the entire Dragon Kingdom. Countless parents were panic-stricken. They regarded online games as a scourge. They frightened their children at home and then turned around and walked into the mahjong parlor.
Chen Mo naturally didn't know about the news about Dragon Kingdom, but it didn't take long for Blizzard to come to his door, hoping that Chen Mo and Henry would endorse Warcraft together.
Chen Mo refused directly, mainly because he had too many endorsements. He originally had big contracts with FIFA, Okamoto and Adidas. After the World Cup, luxury brands such as Ferrari and Patek Philippe also came to the door.
The contract amount was so large that Chen Mo had to squint his eyes to count the zeros.
Of course you have to do things when you give me money, and occasionally you need to shoot commercials or something.
It's quite troublesome. Chen Mo feels troublesome now, so naturally it's rare for him to endorse World of Warcraft anymore.
But Henry was very interested. Unlike Chen Mo, he really liked playing World of Warcraft.
So, a few days later, Chen Mo saw Henry wearing armor and grinning at the door of an Internet cafe.
They are having a great time off the field, and the Arsenal players are also making great progress on the field.
Not only did they defeat Chelsea, who had just been eliminated by Barcelona, and sent Mourinho out of class, they also defeated Manchester United twice this season and sent Manchester United to fourth place in the league.
However, on the third day after defeating Manchester United, Arsenal, who bumped into Liverpool, also stopped in the FA Cup quarterfinals.
Arsenal's loss in this game was actually quite unfair.
Arsenal still led by three goals in the 63rd minute, but in order to cope with the Champions League knockout match against Bayern two days later, Wenger replaced Chen Mo, Giroud and Samuel who had not had much rest in advance.
Who knew that Liverpool's resilience was terrifying, chasing three goals in ten minutes!
There are no first and second legs in the FA Cup, so a draw is a replay.
Arsenal could actually accept the draw, but the mentality of the players collapsed, especially center back Waltz who came on to replace Samuel.
Two of the three goals conceded were related to him, but neither Modric nor Di Maria are leaders. Marco Polo and Chiellini do have this talent, but their current status in the team Not enough to convince the public.
Finally, in the final stage of the game, under the solemn gaze of Chen Mo and Wenger on the bench, Gerrard, who was not good at passing people, faced Walz, flicked the ball with his right foot from the top of the arc, and followed up with a blast. Rewriting the score to four to three.
A huge comeback!
The next day, major newspapers were full of crazy reports, and with the game against Bayern approaching, many reporters and media seeking traffic also began to badmouth Arsenal.
Driven by the increasing popularity of online media, fans of Bayern and Arsenal are quarreling.
In such a noisy atmosphere, on March 29, the Boeing 747 carrying Chen Mo and others docked at Munich International Airport.
