Brazil and Argentina are both relatively strong offensive and defensive teams. Before the start of the game, most fans' guesses about the score were that the total score would be five goals or higher.
but.
The fact that Argentina was blitzed by Brazil in the first 17 seconds was too exaggerated. You must know that this is the final that determines the outcome in a single game!
If you lose, go straight home!
At this time, all Argentine fans were covering their heads with disappointment on their faces. Even Maradona was yelling curses in the stands, one after another.
[Chen Mo, a rookie, can he be deceived? 】
[I want to find an opportunity to educate him! 】
[This is a bullshit tactical arrangement, Pekerman should be directing traffic! 】
[What is Mascherano doing? ! Was his head squeezed by the door? ! 】
The fans were disappointed, Maradona was still spraying in the stands, and the Argentine players were very frustrated at this time.
"I'm sorry, Brother Mo, I was out of position just now."
Seeing Chen Mo holding the ball and walking towards the center circle, Xiao Ma took the initiative to walk up to Chen Mo and admit his mistake, his face full of annoyance.
The shot just now seemed to be Chen Mo being tricked, but in fact the real problem was with Brother Ma.
Yes, it's Brother Ma's fault.
The reason is simple. Kaká is an attacking midfielder, and Chen Mo, who plays in Argentina's dual defensive midfielder system, also plays as an attacking midfielder.
Chen Mo was not the player to play against Kaká in the first place. He was just filling in, and even the press against Kaká at the beginning was just a move forward.
And why is the top of the arc filled?
Naturally, it was because of Kaka's defense that the defensive midfielder Ma Ge in the middle was out of position.
Not only did the Brazilian team's two centers pull wide beyond Argentina's expectations, but the sudden pull of midfielder Kaká was also not part of Argentina's pre-game tactical plan.
There was no response strategy in the tactical plan, so Mao Ma had the same reaction as the two Argentinian central defenders - following Kaka and defending one-on-one.
There is no problem in pulling wide. After all, after Kakala moves wide, the Brazilian team will have a numerical advantage on the wing.
Robinho, Kaká, and Alves faced off against Zanetti and Di Maria. In this case, Argentina's wing was likely to be directly penetrated, and there would be no problem for Ma Ma to fill in on the wing.
But the problem is sticking defense!
Why do players in basketball always stay one step away when defending against fast players?
It is because you need to give yourself a space to react, and because the distance between them is large, it can also make up for the explosive power and speed of both parties to a certain extent.
Of course, football is different. Many defenses directly push back without turning around, but the problem is the top defense when the ball is in hand!
When he was controlling the ball at his feet, his back was pushed hard and he couldn't turn around, but just now Kaka didn't control the ball at all!
Turn around however you want!
And Kaká’s athletic ability is way ahead of Pony Ma!
In this case, Brother Ma's personal defense is seeking death!
As a world-class defensive midfielder, Ma Ma must understand all this and have ways to deal with it.
There is no need to stick Kaka too close, or even let Kaka catch the ball. After all, Kaka is not that strong one-on-one in a small area when the opponent is not out of position, and it will not leave him completely helpless. .
However, Ma Ma still carried out reckless personal defense. In the end, Kaka caught the opportunity and ran back and used his speed to force him away. This gave Kaka the opportunity to influence Chen Mo's judgment.
There is no doubt that winning the World Cup and the Champions League, as well as winning all the way since the start of the America's Cup, has also affected Pony Ma's mentality.
Seeing Brother Ma's guilty expression, Chen Mo understood all this and nodded: "Just be careful next, this Brazilian team has been ambushing us for a long time."
Whether it was the sudden change of formation in the blitz, or whether it was the fact that he played right back for the club, but he has been playing left back for the national team since last year's Copa America qualifiers, with the purpose of targeting Maicon, Messi, everything. It is revealed that the Brazilian team has been preparing for a whole year in order to avenge the World Cup.
but
"You are not the only one who is prepared."
Touching Brother Ma's bald head, Chen Mo beckoned the players to gather together.
After forming a circle and seeing the dignified but not nervous expressions on the faces of his teammates, Chen Mo gave up the idea of feeding chicken soup and said directly: "It seems that you are all awake, so I won't say any more sensational words." Let’s talk about tactics directly. Wait a minute, Leo, you retreat to the midfield. I feel that it will be difficult for you to get opportunities on the wing in this game.”
"Drop back into midfield? Play 442?"
Hearing Chen Mo's words, Messi raised his eyebrows. Chen Mo nodded, squatted down on the grass and scratched the not too deep turf with his fingers, "442, 442 in the diamond midfield, it's what we practiced before. That one."
— Crespo — Di Maria —
————Messi————
Chen Mo————Brother Xiao Ma
————Cambiaso————
Looking at the several points pressed on the turf, Chen Mo, who was squatting on the ground, raised his head and said: "Angel (Di Maria), you don't need to be on the front line to contain the defender later, you can go to any position you want.
But there are two requirements. First, approach Leo when he needs support. When he tries to pass, pull away the Brazilian left-back Maicon. Second, I want you to follow Brazil when he counterattacks. Maicon retreats, even if he retreats to our penalty area, he must stay close. He must not be allowed to help Ronaldinho on the offensive end! "
"I see."
Di Maria nodded directly without any hesitation. Chen Mo's intention is obvious, which is to let Di Maria serve as Messi's wingman while focusing on the defensive end.
After seeing him nod, the other teammates were more or less relieved.
Although Di Maria's talent is indeed inferior to Messi, the two clubs that dug Di Maria in the summer window also offered 40 million plus an offensive core to start, and Chen Mo's tactical arrangement just now is to let Di Maria become the player. Wingman and blue-collar engineer.
This kind of tactical positioning can easily arouse players' displeasure, but Di Maria obviously did not feel confrontational.
After all, Chen Mo took very good care of him when he joined Arsenal before he got the talent clause. Even when he didn’t have enough money to buy a house in London, he was interested in a small villa. Helping him to criticize Maradona again.
Di Maria is convinced by this kind of boss.
Seeing that Di Maria was fine, Chen Mo turned his attention to Ma Ke and right back Burdisso: "In the next game, unless I give a signal, you don't need to advance to participate in the attack. Your first task is to completely defeat Luo Luo. Hold down Nardinho. Don’t give him the opportunity to defeat each one like you just did, can you do it?!”
"able!"
Marco Polo roared, but Burdisso frowned: "But if Javier and I don't step in, Zanetti on the other side will be suppressed by Robinho. In this case, there are only four of you in the attack. Doesn't this seem a bit conservative? I'm still one goal behind."
"Don't worry, leave it to us."
Chen Mo smiled and patted Burdisot on the shoulder, but there was not much smile in his eyes, which were full of solemnity.
Indeed, Burdisso is right.
A team has only ten players except the goalkeeper. Now Chen Mo requires the back four and the two defensive midfielders not to press forward and participate in the attack. Then the only Argentine offensive personnel are Chen Mo and the midfielder. Messi and Crespo and Di Maria on the front line.
Only four people participated in the attack, and the Brazilian team still had two midfielders and four defenders!
Four against six!
It’s very difficult!
but
"You can try it."
If he were teammates with others, Chen Mo would definitely not be so confident, but now Messi has retreated!
With their personal abilities and tacit understanding, he had the confidence to give it a try! .
After all, the game had just begun, and the Brazilian team's celebration did not last long.
Soon, Crespo served in the center circle, and as the game restarted, the Brazilian fans who had just been celebrating suddenly found that the situation on the court began to become strange!
Not just because of the change in formation, but because Argentina's playing style has also changed!
Chen Mo and Messi are both the top one-on-one blasters in today's football, but to be honest, they are the kind of players who will only choose one-on-one blasters when the opportunity arises. Most of the game time It relies on short passing and running to attack.
However, when the game restarted, Chen Mo and Messi showed a strong desire to attack!
As long as they have the ball, as long as it's one-on-one, the first option for both of them is to pass!
This is a big pain for Brazil's two midfielders.
Whether it is right midfielder Giroberto or left midfielder Ederson, they are both excellent midfielders. Otherwise, it would be impossible to start in the Brazilian national team, but Giroberto is already 34 years old this year, and Edelson is Although Dessen is only nineteen years old and full of energy, he just joined Manchester United from Porto a month ago.
The transfer fee is 18 million pounds. This price is already very high for a player of this age. After all, Deco, who won the Champions League Barcelona two years ago, paid the same price.
Ederson is definitely a top talent, but he is not a pervert like Chen Mo and Messi who started playing as the main player in the five major leagues at the age of 16. Whether it is competition experience or skills, they are not enough.
Under the indiscriminate bombardment of Chen Mo and Messi, the two of them were directly smashed into a sieve!
Fortunately, because Argentina invested fewer offensive personnel in the frontcourt, especially after switching to 442, Brazil's two full-backs Maicon and Alves can also move in the middle to help defend.
However, as time passed bit by bit, Brazil's players began to find that something was clearly wrong.
Can't get possession of the ball!
Argentina only had four people attacking in the frontcourt, and Brazil had six people defending, but the Brazilian team couldn't get the ball!
It’s not that there is no possession of the ball at all, but that the possession of the ball is not as high as Argentina’s!
Argentina actually controlled the ball in the frontcourt despite having a numerical disadvantage!
Not only the Brazilian players discovered this, but the audience and commentators also discovered this!
"What's going on? Brazil can't win the ball in this situation?"
"I finally understand. Chen Mo and Messi are indeed the twin stars Maradona said will rule the next decade."
"What do you mean?"
In the commentary box, commentator Jack looked at his partner next to him with some confusion. His partner sighed and shook his head: "The two of them are not forcing a one-on-one breakthrough, but kicking the ball."
"Ah? Transfer control?"
"Yes, passing and controlling, but it's not passing and controlling. I can only say that it means a little bit. But... what a two little monsters. Hey! I wish I had brought Messi to Arsenal!"
The commentary was chattering on and on, and in the stands, Wenger was beating his chest and the assistant next to him was curious: "But boss, did you say that one of the basic elements of passing control is to gain a numerical advantage in the frontcourt?"
"You're so stupid!"
Wenger glared angrily, "What is the purpose of creating a numerical advantage? It is to allow each player to have more contact points! And have you ever thought about why this is done?
The first reason is because most players, let alone being forced by two people, cannot easily protect the ball even when being marked one-on-one, let alone pass the ball.
The second is to facilitate passing and running, or to reduce the requirements on players' passing and running abilities. After all, there are more people than the opponent, so it will definitely be easier to pass the ball.
The third reason is to create a local situation of more and less, so as to mobilize the opponent's defense step by step.
Taken together, what Xiao Mo and Messi are doing now is no different from passing and controlling, except that they replace numbers with strength.
Rely on your own strength to protect the ball.
Rely on your own strength to run out of space and pass the ball.
Then rely on their own strength to attract more people to defend, thereby mobilizing the defense line, and finally use their world-leading breakthrough ability to end the game.
Hey, what a pity. If only I had been given five million more euros back then."
Having said this, Wenger took a sip of the herbal tea given to him by Chen Fei, looked at Messi running on the court, and smacked his mouth with some regret.
When the assistant next to him heard this, he murmured carefully: "Boss, don't say this nonsense, otherwise Xiao Mo will be angry."
"."
Chen Mo is a person who can accept failure and is good at learning from failure, but the premise is that the target of failure is not Messi. As long as he loses to Messi, Chen Mo will completely go berserk.
Wenger couldn't help but shudder when he thought of Chen Mo's depressing atmosphere as if he was surrounded by black mist after losing to Barcelona in the Champions League last year.
"Let's talk about the game. Let's talk about the game. Hey, now it depends on whether Brazil can hold back. They are one goal ahead. The further they kick back, the more uncomfortable Argentina will be.
Moreover, this style of play not only requires Xiao Mo and Messi to try to attract more people to defend when they get the ball, but also requires them to run more frequently than usual. Only in this way can they run out of space.
I'm not worried about Xiao Mo's physical fitness, but I don't know if Messi can withstand a whole game under such a high-intensity and high-frequency tactical system. "
