"I didn't expect Bayern to reach the quarterfinals this year. It's really amazing."
In the crowded Allianz Stadium, looking at the old acquaintances Schweinsteiger and Lahm on the other side of the center circle, standing on the green field, Chen Mo stretched his arms from left to right, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Bayern this year is very hip.
As the top team in the league, they are currently ranked fourth in the Bundesliga.
Fourth, you must know that there are currently only two Champions League seats in the Bundesliga. This means that if this performance continues, Bayern will not be able to play in the Champions League next year.
In a hurry, they first fired Magath, the coach who led Bayern to win the double championship last season, during the winter window, and then hired coach Ott, who had won six Bundesliga titles and led Dortmund to the Champions League. horse.
But it's of no use. Bayern's problem is not the coach, but the fact that it almost doesn't recruit talents from outside the Bundesliga, but there is a gradual shortage of local talents in Germany.
I can't even take them away, and I am still fourth in the Bundesliga.
If it weren’t for the fact that the opponent they encountered in the top 16 of the Champions League was the weaker Ligue 1 Lyon;
If it weren't for the old Lion King Kahn coming to earth, he contributed 12 key saves in two games;
If it hadn't been for the super long-range shot from 37 meters away by Lahm in the second round, Bayern would have fallen directly into the top 16.
Chen Mo is relatively confident about playing this Bayern team.
.
"Okay, now the two sides have decided the right to kick off. Arsenal kicks off and attacks from left to right. Then let's take a look at the lineup. Sure enough, Arsenal sent out the entire main lineup for this game.
Arsenal 433
Henry, Giroud, Di Maria
Modric, Chen Mo,
——Mascherano——
Chiellini, Samuel, Hummels, Clichy
There is nothing special about Arsenal's regular starting lineup, but speaking of which, many viewers were discussing Hummels before the game. After all, he joined Arsenal from Bayern this summer. "
"Yes, yes, when a player faces his old club, it will naturally cause heated discussions, but Bayern fans are not too hostile to him. After all, he chose to transfer because he had no chance to play at Bayern. But I think Hummels is now I must be holding my breath in my heart, "You didn't let me play, now I'm going to eliminate you", maybe I have this kind of thought."
"Haha, there must be. After all, Bayern's performance is really bad this season. Let's take a look at Bayern's staffing.
It’s still the 442 formation.
Mackay, Podolsky
Schweinsteiger, Hargreaves, Ze Roberto, Deisler.
Lahm, Lucio, Demichelis, Sagnol.
To be honest, I think this lineup is really bad for Arsenal. "
"Indeed, but Bayern has no way out. In terms of league points, there is a high probability that they will not be able to break into the top two and miss next year's Champions League. At the same time, they were also eliminated from the German Cup early, which means that this year's Champions League is their best in the past two years. , the only thing you have a chance to win.”
"That's right, okay, the referee blew the whistle to start the game."
The commentator rambled on, and as soon as Bayern kicked off the ball, Chen Mo rushed forward like a wild horse.
Chen Mo's pressing ability is top-notch. Seeing this, Hargreaves didn't dare to neglect, and immediately wanted to hand the ball to Ze Roberto next to him. However, as soon as his eyes moved over, he found that Modric had already hit Ze Roberto. Beside Berto.
In desperation, he had to pass the ball to Swainsteiger on the wing.
"He's still playing as a winger?"
Seeing Schweinsteiger picking up the ball from the wing, Chen Mo's expression became a little subtle.
The first time I met Xiaozhu, the opponent was playing as a defensive midfielder, but since passing through the youth team, Xiaozhu was transformed by Bayern's coaching staff into a full-back, and then from full-back to full-back.
It is normal that as time goes by, children will not only gradually show some talents that are different from those when they were young, but their height, strength and other qualities will also change.
but
"Pity."
The wide midfielder is either a highly lethal breakthrough player like Robben, or a player like Beckham who is good at long passes with a balanced offense and defense.
Xiaozhu's long passing and defensive abilities are very good, but he is not as good as Beckham in terms of speed. What he is better than Beckham is organization. He is a player with axis characteristics, but the winger is The most difficult position to utilize your organizational talents.
Things were similar to what Chen Mo thought. Knowing that he could not organize on the wing and that he did not have the ability to break through, Xiaozhu passed the ball back to the defender shortly after getting the ball.
The wings could not be opened, and Hargreaves and Ze Roberto in the center did not have the ability to tear apart the defense one-on-one. Soon, Bayern, who found that they could not pass the ball across the half court, began to worry.
In the fourth minute of the game, facing Henry's pressing, Bayern right back Sagnol directly drove the ball forward with a big kick, and directly lobbed the ball to the 1.88-meter-tall high center Ma Kai.
Ma Kai is very strong. He once won the European Golden Boot, was the top scorer in La Liga and the assist leader in the Bundesliga. He can be said to be a powerful all-around forward. However, this guy is already 32 years old this year, and the opponent against him is holding his breath. , Hummels, who is trying his best to prove himself in front of Bayern.
Needless to say, when faced with the ball coming from high altitude, Hummels directly forced it to get in front of Ma Kai. He tried to beat the latter with a header, but he did not top the ball. Under the watchful eyes of all the fans, Hummels With a flick of his head, Else passed the ball to Chiellini on the left.
Knowing that he had no offensive ability, Coconut immediately passed the ball to Ma Ge, who moved to the left.
Offense and defense transition!
The moment he got the ball, Ma immediately looked up to look for Chen Mo, but soon he found that Chen Mo was being guarded by Hargreaves and the inward winger Deisler.
Can't pass!
But Ma did not hesitate at all, and directly passed the ball to the right to the right midfielder Modric. At the moment when he passed the ball, Chen Mo from the left midfielder suddenly cut in diagonally to the right, as if he wanted to get the ball. Look!
"Hargreaves can't defend Chen Mo alone, I have to defend him!"
Right midfielder Deisler understands this very well, but on his wing, Arsenal's attacker is Henry!
Right back Sagnol also can't defend Henry alone!
Defend the border or defend the center?
Deisler did not hesitate and turned directly to cover the center. The moment he turned to follow up, Modric from the right midfielder directly made a diagonal pass with his right foot to find Henry on the left.
Speaking of which, Sagnol is also Henry's national team teammate, but this status often only makes both parties more excited.
With his back against Sagnol, Henry looked at the ball flying from the left and unloaded the ball directly with his chest. When the ball dropped to the height of his knees, he suddenly turned to the left and at the same time spiked the ball with the inside of his right foot and directed the ball towards Sagnol's crotch. Button down!
Henry doesn't look strong, but he is a full 1.88 meters tall. He is not 1.88 meters tall like Cristiano Ronaldo, but a real 1.88 meters tall!
With this height and strong muscles, the power to lean in when turning around is very strong. In addition, Henry's footwork can be said to be one of the most delicate and precise among all forwards!
Turning around, Sagnol was knocked backwards by the resistance. He couldn't see what was happening under his feet, but the fans in the stands holding their heads and exclaiming told him the answer!
"Oh my God! He was crotched! Sagnol was crotched!"
"Henry's on the wing!"
The commentator exclaimed!
All the fans jumped to their feet in an instant. Under everyone's nervous gaze, Henry vigorously swung his arms and kicked the ground, dribbling the ball towards the baseline while still shaking his head to observe the middle!
"Only Xiao Mo and Ji Lu!"
In Henry's sight, Chen Mo had just moved forward to the left side of the Bayern arc. He was surrounded by Deisler and Hargreaves who were guarding him. There was only one Giroud in the penalty area, and he was covered by two central defenders. folder!
"It's not easy to cross!"
Henry, who rushed to the 45-degree angle of the penalty area in a flash of lightning, made a judgment, instantly slowed down, and started dribbling diagonally towards Bayern's penalty area!
"Damn it!"
Henry had a long shot. Deisler did not dare to let Henry go and continue to dribble the ball forward. He gritted his teeth and left Chen Mo to replace Henry.
But the moment he moved his steps, Chen Mo, who had been in a relaxed state, suddenly tightened his muscles. He changed his position from facing the ball to facing the sideline. At the same time, he spread his legs apart, raised his butt, and shifted his center of gravity downwards. Hargreaves is stuck behind him!
And just when Chen Mo completed the blocking, Henry also flicked the ball with his right foot, and then burst into speed and cut into the penalty area!
Hit the wall and cooperate!
Without any hesitation, Chen Mo faced the ball rolling from the left front and looked at Henry, who was running wildly from left to right and throwing away Deisler with just one kick. Chen Mo's back tensed and he swept the ball with his left foot!
Sweep!
wrong!
twist!
Rub the arch and instep of the foot from under the ball!
The ball jumped high!
"Oh God! Chen Mo's pass was too big!"
"It will be confiscated by the goalkeeper!"
"What a pity! Such a great opportunity!"
The commentator was disappointed. Amidst the boos from Bayern fans in the audience, the ball with reverse spin was hoisted straight into the left side of Bayern's penalty area and in front of Henry. But what was different from the commentator's disappointment was that goalkeeper Kahn's face was full of alert!
"This monster!"
This kind of lob from the edge of the penalty area is difficult to pass. If the ball is passed too hard, the terminator will lose the shooting angle. If it is passed lightly, it will fall too slowly and be confiscated by the goalkeeper!
But Bayern's goalkeepers have always been outstanding, and Kahn, a 38-year-old lion, is also truly experienced in many battles!
The moment he saw the ball spinning, his pupils shrank suddenly and he immediately adjusted his position!
This shot was fooled!
Sure enough, amid the shocked screams of the fans in the audience, the ball that was hoisted into the penalty area suddenly stopped strangely in the air, and then accelerated down!
Backspin!
Chen Mo's backspin ball!
Bundesliga fans don't see this kind of ball often, but how could Henry not know it? !
but
"The old guy is really difficult to deal with!"
Looking at the ball falling from the upper right, and looking at Kahn's position, Henry frowned slightly as he ran diagonally.
Kahn is the only goalkeeper in history to win the World Cup Golden Ball, and although the position of goalkeeper requires physical fitness, it also requires experience and mental quality!
That's it now!
The near post and crotch area were completely sealed, while the far post
There is room at the far post!
But his killer instinct told Henry that his shot at the far post was likely to be saved!
hesitate!
Rarely, Henry hesitated at this moment!
but!
This is not the time for him to make a choice!
"What?!"
Facing the falling ball, under Kahn's panicked gaze, Henry hit the ball with his left foot and hit an inverted triangle. The next second, Chen Mo squeezed out from between the two central defenders and hit the ball with a stab from the ground. !
"GOALLLLLLLLL! The ball has been scored!! What a wonderful match against the wall! Arsenal scored a goal in the away game in the fourth minute of the game! The one who scored the goal was the owner of Arsenal's No. 10 jersey - CHEN!!! MO!!!”
"It's so beautiful! Henry cut inside and hit the wall, Chen Mo picked up the ball with a backspin, Henry cut in the left side and passed back in an inverted triangle. Chen Mo went forward to grab the goal and scored. Bayern's defense was directly beaten by the two of them with four touches. wore!"
"Unparalleled beauty of football! This is the product of the union of two super geniuses!"
"Oh! What the hell combination! Don't say anything tendentious!"
"Haha! Anyway, let us congratulate Chen Mo! Congratulations to Arsenal! They are one step closer to the championship! We Arsenal~~ are invincible~"
The commentator roared, and the Arsenal fans in the audience were completely excited.
Although before the start of this game, most fans were more optimistic about Arsenal. After all, Bayern's record this year was really bad, but no one expected that the goal would come so early!
After scoring the goal, Chen Mo rushed to the corner and prepared for a classic uppercut, but at this moment, Henry ran in front of him and picked him up!
Add fuel to the fire!
It's like throwing a sip of alcohol into the fire!
The Arsenal fans in the audience were stunned for a moment, and then everyone roared!
The atmosphere exploded instantly!
Countless cameras were snapping at Henry and Chen Mo, who was raising his arms and shouting on his back!
Reporters are ecstatic!
No need to think too much!
Tomorrow's top headlines have appeared!
[Gunners Heritage VS Barcelona Heritage! 】
Below is a picture of today and a picture of Ronaldinho carrying Messi on his back last month!
The effect is absolutely explosive!
However, football is like this, one family is happy and the other is sad.
Seeing Chen Mo celebrating wildly at the corner, Swainsteiger put his hands on his hips with a somewhat lonely look on his face.
Just like Chen Mo still remembers the scene when the two met for the first time, Swainsteiger also remembers all this, but the equally matched opponent back then is now the world champion and the Champions League champion, and he himself has just secured his seat at Bayern. , and in this position and the team's tactical arrangement, he was very uncomfortable playing.
regret?
Pity?
Schweinsteiger feels that his inner emotions are very complicated now. In fact, when Arsenal was rebuilt a year ago, Chen Mo called and invited him and Lahm, two brothers who had not yet played the main role at Bayern, to join Arsenal. Yes, at that time Wenger promised to give him the main position as long as he could adapt to the intensity of the Premier League.
It's just that just as Barcelona is a huge attraction for the Catalans, most German players dream of playing for Bayern one day, so both of them refused at the time.
But now Bayern is in a quagmire. Let alone compete for the Champions League championship, it is estimated that they will not be able to play in the Champions League next season.
This is a huge psychological gap.
but
"I don't want to hold this guy's lap and win the championship!"
To get to this point, unless you are a guy like Balotelli who can make the world's top players even with just one head, most players are top-notch mentally and in terms of talent. They will not be depressed for long, Swains Tiger is back on his feet!
but
It's useless. Bayern's current problem is not only the lack of ability of some players, but also the confusion of tactics and staffing.
Just like just now, Chen Mo directly took away the wing defender with a cross-cut, forming a one-on-two containment.
It seems very disappointing, but this is not only because of Chen Mo's strong personal ability, but also because of problems with Bayern's tactical play.
There are two types of tactical play, one is [focusing on me] and the other is [focusing on the opponent].
With me as the main player, to put it bluntly, it means strengthening the strengths of our own players and making up for their shortcomings.
The most typical example is Chelsea under Mourinho. Why was he able to win consecutive Premier League titles with Lampard, Ballack and Makelele, three midfielders whose organizational skills are not top-notch?
It is because his defensive counterattack does not focus on midfield organization. Under this tactical system, Lampard and his team's organizational weaknesses are made up for, and at the same time, their super impact due to their strong body is strengthened.
Focusing on the other side is the other way around.
The most classic example is when Scaloni asked Di Maria to play on the left wing in the World Cup one year. At that time, the French team's right back was central defender Conde.
Central defender is a very general term. In fact, it can be divided into attacking central defenders, ball-playing central defenders and aircraft carrier central defenders.
Conde is an attacking and ball-playing central defender who has some problems with defensive positioning and often loses his position.
Many French fans said that Dengbao was so nervous in the penalty area that he sent Argentina a penalty kick, but not many people noticed that Dengbao was a right winger.
As a right winger, he should be defending the opponent's full-back, but in the end he retreated to his own penalty area to defend Di Maria. Strictly speaking, he was actually wiping Conde's butt, but this was also because of Messi The lethality on the right side is too strong, and the French team must focus its defense on the right side.
In short, this is the fruit of victory born from Scaloni's combination of two sets of ideas: "Focus on me" and "Focus on the other party."
But Bayern is confused now. Let's focus on the players. Swainsteiger went to the uncomfortable side wing. Let's focus on the opponents. Knowing that Chen Mo is very lethal in the middle, he still uses a parallel position of 442.
However, there is nothing that can be done about it. After all, Bayern has only experienced a coaching change in the winter window, and there are no new signings in the winter window. Ottmar is also a clever woman who cannot make a meal without rice.
Bayern is having a hard time.
It's a pity that football never sympathizes with the weak.
Soon, as the game restarted, Bayern, which was one goal behind at home, began to play more and more impatiently.
Uh~ Many people responded that the protagonist became invincible too quickly.
But it's actually not that invincible.
After checking a lot of information, I found that football has been in an era of sluggishness in recent years.
Real Madrid and the entire Serie A are in decline, and top superstars of the older generation like Cafu, Maldini, and Ronaldo Zidane are entering their twilight years.
But the new generation of Dream Three has not yet appeared. Strictly speaking, Xavi Xiaobai has not yet stood at the center of the historical stage. Cristiano Ronaldo has not yet gone to Real Madrid. Bayern's Muller and Xiaozhu have not yet taken shape.
That’s not to mention Uncle Zha’s mad dog style and Guardiola’s passing control later.
I think that’s when the real battle begins.
And to be honest, the style of my book is not the kind that can penetrate the universe on its own. Chen Mo also needs a good helper, so ~ cough cough later, anyway, I will try to make this transition period as interesting as possible.
