Three to one at halftime, AC Milan was directly kicked out.
Some AC Milan fans had already left the stands before the referee's halftime whistle sounded.
Capturing this detail, the morale of the AC Milan players on the field became even lower.
Perhaps influenced by his mentality, after Inzaghi restarted the kick, Seedorf did not seize the opportunity to launch the last attack of the first half, but passed the ball back to full-back Odo.
The referee was unambiguous and blew the whistle directly to end the first half.
Unlike AC Milan's depression, Arsenal's morale is high.
Especially Bell, he has been playing as a substitute since Henry returned from injury. Although he is the first substitute for two wingers and two full-backs, he is still a little uncomfortable, but this game is different.
Champions League semi-finals!
First release!
He also turned into a winger that he prefers!
Although there was no goal, this is undoubtedly a very good signal - the coach trusts me!
Indeed, Wenger actually likes the quirky little guy Bell, but Di Maria's current strength is indeed stronger than Bell's, not to mention Henry.
Now that Arsenal can win, the two most important offensive firepower points are Chen Mo and Henry.
However, Henry is also thirty years old this year, and has only been in his prime for two years. As long as he endures a little longer, he will get a chance to succeed!
Understanding this truth, and then thinking about Chen Mo's first choice for assists in the future, thinking about himself eating cakes in the penalty area and then sliding on his knees to celebrate, Bell became so excited that he even sang in the locker room during halftime. Song.
Although it was only the first half of the first round, singing felt a bit like popping champagne at halftime, but Chen Mo didn't stop him. He just sat under the No. 10 wardrobe with his poster printed on it and took a sip of water.
The team not only needs players with calm personalities like him and Henry to control the situation, but also needs happy fruits like Bell. After all, it is not a good thing if the team atmosphere is too quiet.
After a while, seeing the players' emotions gradually calming down, Wenger clapped his hands and began to explain some of the problems he saw in the first half in front of the whiteboard.
But it's not a big problem. The team is 3-1 at halftime, so what else can be a big problem.
Mainly, he talked about some positioning issues on the defensive end that he saw in the first half.
Both Wenger and Guardiola play offensive football. Although one uses ground passing and penetration, and the other uses ground passing and cutting for fast breaks, the biggest difference between the two is on the defensive end.
Guardiola presses the entire team past half-court, so the attackers are forward and the defense is also forward, relying on the defenders to press up to provide more numerical advantages.
Many times, Guardiola's defenders are positioned further forward than other teams' midfielders.
Wenger's style is also that the attackers are forward, but the defense is relatively deep.
Although Chen Mo often leads the team through the half, he is not like Guardiola, who lets the central defender press to the front of the opponent's penalty area more than 20 meters to participate in the organization and cooperation. The most is to let his own central defender support near the center circle. Some back passes.
But this game is different.
The midfield combination of Magic Flute Angel and Ma Ge is honestly second-rate.
After all, they are all young players who have only been in the five major leagues for more than a year, and their characteristics are not very suitable for each other.
The reason why AC Milan was able to suppress in the first half was firstly because Pirlo, the core organizer of AC Milan, was pinned to death by Chen Mo, and secondly because Henry and Bell ran much more distance in this game than before.
Their tireless running attracted Gattuso and Ambrosini, the two midfield defensive gates, to frequently retreat to help relieve the pressure in the midfield.
But even so, facing the pressing pressure of Kakashidov and Inzaghi, it was still difficult for the three Magic Flute players to steadily control the ball in the back area without Chen Mo.
But they can't take the initiative to retreat deeper to find the defender, because if they retreat too far back, they won't be able to contact Chen Mo, the false number nine.
The false nine is said to need to frequently drop back into the midfield, but in many cases he still has to provide threats on the front line to attract two central defenders.
The purpose of attracting two central defenders is to free up the two wings and create one-on-one space for the two wings, especially Henry's side.
As long as Henry gets a one-on-one opportunity, defensive midfielder Gattuso will inevitably drop back to help full-back Odo defend.
When Gattuso returns to defense, Arsenal's midfielder will reduce the pressure.
This is a set of chain reactions, so Chen Mo cannot retreat too deep.
Because Chen Mo can't retreat too deep, and Magic Flute Angel's little brother Ma can't retreat too deep, the midfielder and frontcourt must maintain contact, otherwise when the opportunity arises, the ball will not be passed to the striker.
If you want to control the ball at this time, Arsenal's back line can only take the initiative to lift up and provide a connection point.
However, raising the stance can provide a connection point, which also means there is more space behind you.
Kaka is a top speed horse. Whether it is Samuel or Hummels, neither of them can keep up with Kaká who is running wildly with the ball, so the key lies in how to limit AC Milan in the transition stage of offense and defense. Don't let Kaka get the ball.
Half-time was spent in discussions between Wenger and the four defenders.
.
Falling behind by two goals in the first half, especially when Arsenal scored a goal at the last moment, AC Milan's morale was still a little low after the start of the second half.
Mainly this is not a matter of player strength, but of tactical restraint. Unless Ancelotti finds a way to break the game, it will be useless to try hard at this time.
But it is not so easy to break the game. You must know that for this game, Wenger had already started thinking about countermeasures several months ago, and finally found a way to let Chen Mo play as the false nine.
However, AC Milan is a top team in Serie A that focuses on defense. Although their fighting spirit was low, they were not defeated by Arsenal in the second half.
It wasn't until the last minute of stoppage time that Arsenal found another chance.
Henry took a long shot from the top of the arc, and the ball was swooped by goalkeeper Dida. After the latter took the ball, he immediately rolled the ball to Pirlo!
There was not much time left in the game, and Pirlo, who was eager to chase points, did not dare to hesitate and kept looking for Kaká in the frontcourt without stopping the ball!
High-altitude long pass, very accurate!
But unfortunately, Arsenal has already made targeted arrangements for Kaka in the midfield. Before Henry's long shot, full-back Chiellini had already moved in to mark Inzaghi.
In this way, Samuel was liberated and had already gone one step ahead to post Kaka.
Behind him is Samuel, who has a fierce playing style, and in front of him is the tall Hummels. Faced with this dragnet, Kaká, who is caught in the middle, is also determined to kill the thief and has no way to save himself. He can only watch Hummels. Leap high and head the ball hanging towards him to the left midfielder Modric.
From defense to attack, from attack to defense!
In just two blinks of an eye, the situation on the field suddenly took two huge turns. The AC Milan players who had just tried to press the whole team to counterattack were instantly out of position!
The transition between offense and defense is all about opportunities. Without any hesitation, Modric immediately made a through ball after receiving the ball and sent the ball to the feet of Chen Mo who retreated to Pirlo to support him!
"Bump!"
Modric shot the ball, and Chen Mo also shot the ball!
With his back against Pirlo, Chen Mo looked at Di Maria who was running straight behind him from the left. Chen Mo met the ball and directly kicked his right foot horizontally. Then he turned around and used his strength to push away Pirlo and drive forward quickly!
Di Maria, Chen Mo, Modric in the middle!
Winger, Henry, Bell!
Five arrows fired in unison!
At this time, AC Milan only has four defenders!
Five against four!
He dribbled the ball five meters away from the edge of the AC Milan penalty area. Facing Simic who was retreating sideways in front of him, Di Maria did not take a radical long-range shot with his left foot. cut.
The action was very realistic, and Di Maria's left-footed shot inside was very threatening. Simic immediately moved his center of gravity to the right, but at the moment his center of gravity moved, Di Maria sent a diagonal pass to the right with his right foot!
The ball instantly rolled into the penalty area!
There, it was Bell who was advancing without the ball and the left back Mark Ray who was marking him!
You chase me!
But Maclay's speed is simply not enough in front of Bale!
Amid the exclamations of the fans in the audience, Bell overtook directly from the outside lane. When the ball rolled to the cross-section line of the penalty area, he rushed over. Without any hesitation, Bell directly passed the ground ball with his right foot!
The ball went straight to Chen Mo, who was advancing into the penalty area to grab points!
"This shot is not easy to shoot!"
"What?!"
Running wildly, there was a huge squeezing force from Nesta on his left shoulder. Seeing that the goalkeeper had almost blocked the entire right side of the goal, there was room for shooting between the lightning and flint, but Chen Mo, who didn't have much space, gritted his teeth suddenly and hit Nesta. Gradually, his eyes widened and he stretched out his right foot to meet the ball!
"boom!"
In the shocked eyes of goalkeeper Dida, the ball rolling from the right hit the little toe of his right foot and instantly bounced to Chen Mo's right rear, where Modric was penetrating forward!
At this time, AC Milan is already in the stage of transition between offense and defense, and the lineup is unstable!
In addition, Henry's inward cut attracted right back Odo, Milan left center back Simic defended Di Maria on the right side of the penalty area, and Chen Mo's advance attracted right center back Nesta!
Modric took two steps forward into the penalty area, but there was no one around him!
Without any hesitation, Modric rushed over and shot directly into the lower left corner of the goal with his right foot amid the exclamations of the fans in the audience!
The goalkeeper Dida, who blocked the right side of the goal, had no choice but to watch the ball go into the net!
Four to one!
At the last moment of the game, Modric was not possessed by Dengbao, and he changed the score to four to one!
Beat the opponent 4-1 in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals!
The entire venue turned into a sea of joy for Arsenal fans!
"Get out of here! This is not the place for Italians!"
"We are going to Athens! We will win our second Champions League trophy there!"
"Chen——"
"Mo----"
"Thierry——"
"Henry——"
"Luka!"
"Modri!"
"Angel~~~"
Under the organization of the host, the fans in the audience chanted the names of the players, and some of them even began to look forward to Arsenal winning the trophy again in Athens, the venue for this year's Champions League final!
This is normal. In the entire history of the Champions League, there have been games where a three-goal deficit was overturned, but there have been too few. It can be said that after this game, unless a miracle happens, Arsenal has already locked a ticket for the Champions League final. !
Amid the cheers, Chen Mo wanted to exchange jerseys with Kaka, but the rare Kaka, who has always been generous, refused.
He just lowered his head and walked towards the tunnel in silence.
Seeing this, Chen Mo could only shrug.
It's normal for Kaka to feel uncomfortable. After all, Maldini handed him the captain's armband before leaving the field, but the real world is not a comic book story, and the problem in this game is not with him.
Until the end of the game, Ancelotti could not find a way to break Chen Mo's false nine, so Pirlo was suppressed.
This is a very critical point. Pirlo was suppressed, and the two full-backs Gattuso and Ambrosini had no organizational skills.
Kaka and Seedorf could only frequently retreat to receive the ball, but the problem was that AC Milan's front line lost Shevchenko, an impact forward.
Single forward Inzaghi is strong in grabbing points, but after all, he is old and is not an impact forward. Once Kaká and Seedorf retreat, AC Milan's counterattack will not be able to speed up.
If you can't hit the speed with a single shot or a long pass, the end result will be that you will be caught up by the central defender and lose the opportunity to attack.
There is no doubt that in the first round of the Champions League semi-finals, he defeated his opponent with two passes and one shot. After the game, Wenger wanted to ask Chen Mo to be interviewed again, but this time the venue of the game was the Emirates Stadium, which is in London, so there was no need to wait. teammate.
Chen Mo went back to the locker room to take a quick shower, and then quickly slipped out of the back door on his bicycle, leaving Wenger alone and awkwardly standing in front of the camera facing reporters.
Premier League reporters knew very well that Chen Mo did not like to be interviewed. They jokingly asked Wenger if he had lost control of Chen Mo. Wenger rolled his eyes and smiled and said: "Yes, he has always been a child with such a personality." , I have absolutely nothing to do with him, just like I have absolutely nothing to do with my daughter."
Just a joking answer, but with the rise of the Internet, all kinds of monsters and monsters have emerged, especially the Dragon Kingdom.
The next day, some out-of-context news began to appear on Longguo’s Internet.
[Underground Football 999: No organization and no discipline! Chen Mo ignored the coach's request and left alone after the game! It doesn't matter how good a person like him is at playing football! Look at my brother Mei, he is a real role model! 】

Online media only feeds on traffic. Under what circumstances can there be traffic?
Discuss!
What a topic!
They know the truth, but they don't care about the truth, and they don't care about the impact this kind of thing will have on the players. The world is declining, and they just want to make money.
The effect was extraordinary. Under the rumors spread by these malicious media, in just one night, Chen Mo and Messi fans started a scolding war online.
However, early the next morning, the writer of Underground Football 999, a fat man wearing glasses and a boss who knew a lot about football, was taken away by the police.
Just kidding, Chen Mo is not in the Dragon Kingdom, but Chen Fei is in the Dragon Kingdom!
What father would watch his son being slandered?

No need to say, arrest them all! .
"What the hell?!"
Red roof villa, balcony swimming pool.
Chen Mo, who was lying by the swimming pool reading the newspaper, didn't know what happened in Long Kingdom. At this time, he was resting his right elbow on the edge of the swimming pool, his legs were stepping on the water casually, and he was holding the cat's tail in his left hand and rubbing it on Yuechi Xun's fair calf. Ah, he held a newspaper soaked in water in his right hand, which was held by the edge of the swimming pool.
[The Times: Big upset! Three to three! Liverpool chased three goals in half and tied with Barcelona away from home! 】
The newspaper headlines shocked Chen Mo.
