"Hello! Hello! Hello~~ Haha, welcome to the Los Angeles Football Night channel. I am your old friend Saul Goodman! Today's America's Cup group match between the United States and Argentina will be hosted by me, Saul. .
oh? What? Don't you want to hear what I have to say? Oh~ It’s really sad, hahaha, okay, just kidding.
Let me introduce today’s commentators to you! Heartthrob David Bay~~~Keham and Zinedine~~Zidane! Welcome two guest commentators! "
Los Angeles, NBC Broadcasting Company Building, splendid studio.
Following the passionate screams of host Saul and the excited screams of countless American audiences, Beckham and Zidane greeted each other, chatting and laughing and walked to the sofa in front of the poster of Los Angeles at Night.
"Oh, I really didn't expect that I, Sol, would be able to see you two so close one day, haha. Are you still used to life in Los Angeles? David."
The host leaned on the small stage and raised the topic naturally. Beckham smiled and said: "Of course, the living environment in Los Angeles is also one of the reasons why I chose the American Major League. However, to be honest, I didn't expect you guys to show up this time. I can persuade Zida to come and participate in the show.”
"Oh, David, even though I'm retired, don't make it sound like I'm lazy."
"Haha, of course that's not what I meant."
A few people chatted and laughed, and made a few common remarks.
Soon, the host brought the rhythm to the point and took a look at the scene of fans entering the Caracas Olympic Stadium on the TV behind him. The host smiled and said: "One of the core players of this Argentine team-Chen Mo, the second Everyone should be familiar with it.
Especially Zida, first of all, let me state that I don't mean to offend, but whether it was in the last few years of the club or the last few years of the national team, you met Chen Mo in some key battles and suffered defeats. I don't know what to do with such a person. Super genius, what do you think? "
Bald men are cruel people, and Zidane is no exception.
The host seemed a little cautious when he spoke. Zidane smiled and said: "Don't be so careful, relax man. To be honest, I am a person who hates losing very much, especially when the opponent defeated me in the World Cup finals, but Chen Mo is indeed a very good person." A great opponent. I think it’s actually very interesting to meet such an opponent at the end of my career.
Haha, and if you really want to talk about it, I know that his time should be earlier than most of you. "
"Oh? What do you say?"
The host praised him at the right time, and Zidane recalled with a smile: "It was probably the winter of 2002, when Ronaldo had just returned to the team after recovering from his injury. Do you know the result? The first thing he said when he came back to the club and saw me was [Zida] , I met two super young geniuses in Japan, one of them may have a higher achievement than you in the future]."
Zidane paused for a moment when he said this. The host cowered and stared, and the audience stretched their necks to wait for the next sentence. Feeling the reaction of everyone, Zidane shrugged and said with a smile, "You guessed it right. That child is Chen Mo."
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar, and the host also posted the photo of Chen Mo, Messi and Ronaldo on the TV screen at the right time.
Looking at the two immature children and Ronaldo who has not yet gained weight on the screen, not only the audience in the audience, but also the fans in front of the TV felt that time was passing by.
Zidane continued: "It seemed that he was playing in a certain low-age cup match in Japan, and Ronaldo was the commentator in the final. This was also known to the club afterwards. The club's scouts watched the video, but unfortunately, Regardless of whether it is Messi or Chen Mo, they are unwilling to leave La Masia.
And then... you know the story. He made a sensation in the Copa del Rey semi-finals three years ago. "
"Yes, I remember that game very vividly."
Beckham took over the conversation and said with a smile: "When we found out that Barcelona was actually going to field a 16-year-old boy in the semi-finals of the King's Cup and let him play as the core midfielder. To be honest, we were all shocked. Stupid, almost everyone thought this was a smoke bomb released by Mr. Rijkaard before the game.
After all, even if Xavier Deco was affected by injuries at the time, it still felt too crazy to let a 16-year-old boy play the core role in a giant like Barcelona. But what happened next? knew.
At the age of sixteen, he made two passes and one shot, scoring a 43-yard free kick. He conquered the fans with his unparalleled performance and made all clubs around the world open their doors to him. Oh, now that I think about it, time flies so fast. He was only sixteen years old at that time and I was only twenty-eight. "
"Yeah, I hadn't retired yet."
Zidane said something humorous, and then added: "This child's growth rate is beyond my expectations, but... I am not the one who needs to face him now."
Hearing this, the host smiled: "Indeed, no team in the world would want to run into Argentina at too early a stage. However, the group stage is based on points, and in addition to the victory or defeat, , it also depends on the goal difference, so I believe that Coach Garnett will probably adopt very conservative tactics in this game.
Okay, now that the players from both sides have entered the stadium, let us turn the camera over to the Olympic Stadium in Caracas! "
.
"Come on Chen Mo!!"
"Leo! Leo! Leo!"
"Get the Yankees out! Please Argentina!"
“I didn’t expect the atmosphere to be quite lively.”
The sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky.
A warm breeze caresses the turf of Caracas' Olympic Stadium.
Standing in the middle of the stadium, Chen Mo stretched his arms and looked at the enthusiastic fans in the surrounding stands.
Compared with the luxurious stages of the Premier League, Champions League and World Cup, there is no doubt that the Olympic Stadium in Caracas, a small South American country, looks a bit shabby.
The entire stadium is oval-shaped, and the fan stands surround the stadium with a track like a toilet seat.
Not only is the design very ordinary, the stadium also has no shading structure and no second-story stands.
However, in sharp contrast to the slightly shabby stadium, the fans here are very enthusiastic, waving flags and shouting on the sidelines, and blowing various small trumpets.
This is not only due to the fact that many Argentinian fans are present, but also because Americans are indeed not loved by South American people, but also because this stadium is located in the university town of Caracas.
The stadium is surrounded by university teaching buildings. At this time, many students who could not buy tickets were looking and shouting at the rooftop and high-rise windows. Chen Mo even saw some bright lights, which were the reflection of telescopes in the sun.
"Why do I feel like I have become the aunt who takes a shower in the opposite building without closing the curtains?"
"No, no, what the hell am I thinking?!"
When he was a child, the memory of using telescopes with Fabio Messi to do bad things came to mind. Chen Mo shuddered unconsciously and immediately brought his attention back to the court. At this time, the second captain Samuel had already fought with the opponent's players. Right to kick off.
The American team has the ball and attacks from right to left.
"Their ball."
After receiving the news, Chen Mo immediately set his sights on the US team forward Donovan who was preparing to serve in the center circle, and kept thinking in his mind.
As a forward who has participated in two World Cups, won the Best Young Player of the World Cup in 2002, and won the Golden Ball Award at the World Youth Championship in 1999, although Donovan is now playing in the American Major League, his strength is not bad. .
The World Cup's Best Young Player award is very valuable. Pele, Owen, Mbappe, Pogba, Muller and Enzo have all won this award.
It can be said that Donovan is definitely a very good forward, but of no use.
Unless the forward is an all-around attacker like Messi, Ronaldinho or even Neymar, who can drop back and get the ball, he will not be able to create much of a threat without a strong midfielder to support him. As for the United States, except for Donovan, The other players are all blue-collar workers and do not have strong passing and threatening abilities.
When playing against a team whose footwork is not delicate enough, just press the midfielder!
"The midfielder can't hold the ball, so he must hand over the ball as soon as possible for a defensive counterattack!"
It's a very simple truth. Chen Mo understands it, and Garnett, the head coach of the US team, also understands it.
If you know things in advance, you will naturally make corresponding arrangements. Garnett's tactics are very simple.
No need for ball possession, just defense.
but
As the referee blew the whistle, just after Donovan served in the center circle, Garnett's eyes suddenly widened with confusion in his eyes!
Chen Mo, who has always been more aggressive in tactics, did not lead his teammates to attack, but only himself!
Yes, pressing is obviously the most effective tactic, but Argentina's generals are all close to the center circle. Only the four strikers Chen Mo, Di Maria, Aguero and Messi are pressing from the front!
With four players pressing, it is obviously impossible to pose much of a threat to the American team under the 541 system!
"What does he want to do?!"
If something goes wrong, there must be a monster, Garnett kept thinking in his mind, but at this moment, he thought of something, and his expression suddenly changed!
"He wants to"
"Don't want the ball? I have to give you the ball!"
Chen Mo didn't care about the reaction of the coach of the American team. He just ran around the court tirelessly and cooperated with the front line to press!
Why not press with the whole team?
The reason is simple. The purpose of pressing is to control the ball, but football games cannot be won by having a high ball possession rate.
In the match between Germany and Japan, the German team passed the ball 825 times, while the Japanese team only had 279 passes. However, in the end, Germany was overturned by Japan.
why is that?
Although Germany passed a lot of passes, they were still unable to break Japan's iron barrel formation. Many of the passes were useless. At the same time, because the formation had to press forward when attacking with the ball, there would be a lot of gaps behind them.
The same is true for the United States, and the United States even has an advantage over Japan.
The American team's footwork is not delicate enough, but the physical quality of the players is stronger than that of the Japanese team. If they really get a single-handed ball in a large space and rush forward, Argentina may not be able to block it!
In this case, if the U.S. team is without the ball and sets up a bus near the penalty area to defend against counterattacks, it will be the most troublesome situation for Argentina. But if the U.S. team is in possession of the ball, then things are completely different. .
The American team's footwork is not delicate enough. Insufficient footwork means a low success rate of passing, and a low success rate of passing means more transitions between offense and defense!
Although the risk of seizing the transition between offense and defense is higher than attacking the iron barrel formation, there are also more opportunities to score goals.
The reason why Chen Mo dared to do this is because Donovan, the lone forward of the US team, is only 1.73 meters tall!
In the positional battle of the US team, it is impossible to play high-altitude balls, and they can only play on the ground, but the ground flow is just restrained by Argentina's short and flexible defender!
And because Argentina’s formation was controlled a little further back in the midfield by Chen Mo, the U.S. team wouldn’t be able to get a big single shot that would give full play to their physical advantage!
There is no loss on the defensive end, and the offensive end is also strengthened!
This tactic is perfect against the United States!
However, this is a group points match, and the United States can completely accept a draw, and this is why Chen Mo needs to cooperate with the front trident to press!
The purpose is to force the US team's ball control area into the midfield. Once the US team's ball control area moves forward and there is a space behind him, Chen Mo will immediately retreat to cooperate with Aimar and the two full-backs to strangle the US team!
The premise of all this is that Chen Mo and the front trident can prevent the American team under the five-back system from controlling the ball in the backcourt!
It is difficult to grab four and five, and Messi's defense and confrontation are not strong, so Chen Mo needs to run more than usual and grab harder!
Soon, under the gaze of all the fans, Chen Mo directly turned on the mad dog mode.
Running all over the field, all kinds of back and forth sprints!
This scene directly made Zidane and Beckham shake their heads in the studio, sighing that it is great to be young. On the other side in London, Wenger looked at Pekerman on the screen, with an astonishing murderous look in his eyes. meaning!
[Is this how you use my treasure? ! 】
[Do you know that I can’t bear to let him practice more? 】
Wenger wants to kill someone.
But Chen Mo didn't know what he was thinking, and to be honest.
For Chen Mo, who had played a low-quality friendly match for more than a month and felt like he was getting rusty, it was actually quite refreshing to be able to run wild at this time.
Happy horse!
Chen Mo ran very well, but the American team was having a hard time.
One second Chen Mo was fighting against the central defender in the middle, and the next second Chen Mo appeared on the wing blocking the full-back's pass!
Chen Mo is everywhere!
Like a ghost!
The U.S. team's passing and control ability is not strong to begin with. Now they are controlling the ball on the back line, which puts a lot of psychological pressure on them, coupled with Chen Mo's mad dog pressing.
As time passed, the defender of the American team, who originally wanted to hold him back as much as possible, couldn't stand it anymore, but after all, he was a national team that could reach the top twenty in the World Cup.
The players of the US team also felt Chen Mo's intention to a certain extent.
When faced with Di Maria's pressing again, Chen Mo intercepted the ball. The American team's right back directly passed the ball diagonally to the winger, and at the same time called on other teammates on the back line to retreat!
Yes!
A long diagonal pass to start the attack, but as soon as the ball was passed, he led his teammates back!
The intention is obvious!
[You let me control the ball? I don't control the ball! 】
The U.S. team doesn't think it can cause damage when Argentina's defense is solid!
The idea was wonderful, but soon the U.S. team's defender was confused.
"What happened?! Messi retreated?!"
"Messi and Chen Mo changed positions?! Aguero went to the right?!"
"What formation is this?!"
The American full-back had just passed the ball.
Looking at the flight path of the ball, Chen Mo, who judged the landing point, instantly shrank his pupils and ran towards the center position immediately!
As Chen Mo ran, Aguero was slightly stunned and ran towards the right wing. Compared with Aguero's awareness, the moment Chen Mo started, right winger Messi had already retreated to the midfield!
The commentator seemed very excited about the sudden change, but unlike the commentator's simple expectation, Zidane and Beckham in the studio also had their eyes fixed!
"What a sharp reaction!"
"Argentina's counterattack is coming!"
There is still 4K in the evening, but I can’t decode it. I’ll see you later.
