The match between Manchester United and Chelsea continues on TV.
As Manchester United's condition gets better and better, everyone eating in the small courtyard gradually turns the topic to football.
Seeing the players discussing football enthusiastically, Wenger, who was a little uneasy because he had brought beer, was relieved. While eating crayfish, he discussed the game situation with Chen Mo.
The core of the discussion is whether Chen Mo needs to take into account defense when facing this Manchester United.
Ronaldo is said to be a free agent in the frontcourt, but his organizational skills are not strong, so his playing style is more like a shadow striker, but he is not the kind of shadow striker who moves in the opponent's midfielder position, but moves in the rib areas on both sides. Shadow front.
The so-called rib area is the area between the wing and the top of the arc.
This area is the most difficult to defend, because the opponent can use midfielders to contain the central players, and the full-backs will take away the wide defenders on the wings.
That's what this game looks like on TV right now.
Chelsea's back line was suppressed by Tevez and Rooney. At the same time, when Manchester United attacked, Scholes, the middle of the three midfielders, would press forward to Chelsea's midfielder area to contain Essien.
At this time, Ronaldo, who was moving on both sides of Essien, was in an unmarked state.
Either Chelsea's full-backs go up, or Lampard or Ballack drop back around the midfield.
Chelsea's full-backs can't go up because Manchester United's two full-backs, Evra and Brown, have very strong offensive abilities. They will frequently press up and suppress Chelsea's full-backs on the wing.
Chelsea's current full-backs are Ashley Cole and Ferreira. These two players are far stronger than their Arsenal full-backs.
Both of them were suppressed by Manchester United and unable to move on the wing, so Arsenal would only be more uncomfortable if they faced Manchester United.
So what Arsenal can do is to drop back the left and right midfielders to pinch Ronaldo.
But here's the problem.
Chen Mo is now said to play as a left midfielder, but because he needs more breakthroughs, his position is much further forward than the average left midfielder.
Of course, Chen Mo is fast, has good physical fitness, and can quickly return to defense, but many times the opportunity to attack is within a second or two.
In other words, if Chen Mo continues to play from the front, he must ensure that there is not even a second of passing space for Manchester United in the entire game, otherwise Arsenal's defense will easily have problems.
This is really difficult. Chen Mo is also a human being, not a god, so there is no way to guarantee this.
Of course, normally, Chen Mo can just stay in the backcourt. After all, the premise for Ronaldo to get a chance is that Manchester United relies on the full-backs to press forward to provide a numerical advantage on the offensive end, thus creating opportunities for Ronaldo.
As the number of attackers increases, Manchester United's defense will become weaker.
but.
This is the reason why Chen Mo has to maintain his positioning this season.
Because after Henry was injured, Arsenal's forward lethality has been greatly reduced.
Bale is very fast, but he is too young.
Eighteen years old.
Whether it's one-on-one front-end skills, or the ability to seize opportunities with a finishing touch, they are not very good.
Di Maria is one year older than Bell, and started playing the starting role earlier, and his abilities have been developed more comprehensively and deeply, but to be honest, he is not a player like Henry who can efficiently complete one-on-one breakthroughs.
Giroud is a center forward with a very single function and has almost no ability to dribble and break through.
To put it simply, this front line is full of energy, the two wingers are extremely fast, and the center is extremely capable of carrying people. It can explode with great power when playing long-distance counterattacks.
But once in position, without Chen Mo pressing forward to join the offensive system, carry out one-on-one blasts, and attract multiple people to defend, there is no way to cause damage.
But the problem is that Arsenal can't defend against counterattacks.
Arsenal's defensive midfielder Ma Ge and the entire defense line, the average height of the five people combined is less than 18.
There is no way to prevent high-altitude balls.
At this point in the conversation, Wenger wiped off the oil on his hands with a wet tissue, lit a cigarette, crossed his legs, took a puff and narrowed his eyes: "What do you think, let Mascherano play as a central defender?"
Let Ma Ge play as a central defender?
Chen Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, stopped chewing beef, and looked thoughtful: "You mean, you want to use more possession of the ball to make up for the defense?"
Although Ma Ma is known as the toughest defensive midfielder in history, he is only 1.74 meters tall. No matter how strong his confrontation ability is, his role on the defensive end will not be the best. But the reason why Ma Ma is Being able to occupy the starting lineup at Arsenal relies on his versatility.
Speaking of which, Ma Ge is also ill-fated. His father is a professional player, so Ma Ma started to be exposed to football very early.
At first he played as a midfielder, but he didn't have enough talent. No matter how hard he practiced with his feet, he couldn't reach the first-class level among his peers, so he retreated from the midfielder and started playing as a central midfielder.
But when he played as a central midfielder, his organizational skills were not that great, so he was later transformed into a defensive midfielder.
Ma Ke can play as the starting midfielder at Arsenal because of three things.
The first is that because he initially played as a central midfielder, his sense of space and positioning and football intelligence are stronger than those players who are directly from a defensive midfielder, and he can often predict blocking positions in advance when defending.
The second is that because of so much experience, Ma also knows that his talent is not as good as the top players, so he works very hard on the court. He once had a shocking experience in which his anus was torn open because he stretched his legs too long when defending.
The third is
Also because of his past experience as an attacking midfielder and central midfielder, his short passing movements and long passing accuracy are much better than most defensive midfielders and central defenders.
If Marco Ma instead plays as a central defender, then Arsenal's back line will have an additional point that can pass and receive the ball. In this case, Arsenal's ball control ability in the backcourt will inevitably be enhanced, but the question is who will fill the gap. Is there room for Ma Ma in the defensive midfield position?
With Modric leaving, Arsenal's current midfield dominance has declined a lot. If Ma Ma, who was already responsible for part of the midfield operation tasks, is asked to withdraw, how will the midfield's passing and cutting cooperation be improved?
In this case, it makes no sense for Ma Ma to retreat to the central defender, because Arsenal's current midfielder does not have the ability to connect the front and backcourt.
Pony Ma's retreat will not only fail to increase Arsenal's ball control ability, but will lead to a complete disconnect between Arsenal's front and backcourt!
As if sensing Chen Mo's thoughts, Wenger shook his head: "It's not what you think. I asked Mascherano to retreat not because I wanted to move our ball control area back, but as a premise!"
Having said this, Wenger took out a small notebook from behind his buttocks and started writing in it. Soon, a formation diagram appeared in front of Chen Mo.
————Girou————
Bell - Chen Mo - Di Maria
Rakitic - Flamini
Marcelo, Mascherano, Chiellini, Clichy.
"4231?"
Chen Mo's eyes widened unconsciously.
The biggest difference between 4231 and the 433 they play now is that the organization area of 433 is in the midfield, while in 4231, because the two wing-backs are sinking, the organization area can be further forward, shifting part of the pressure of the ball-control organization from the midfielder to frontcourt.
how to say.
Previously, the three-person team of Chen Mo, Marco Polo, Flamini or Rakitic was responsible for more than 70% of the organizational work, but after playing 4231, 30% of the 70% will be withdrawn by Bale and Di Maria. share.
In this case, Arsenal's midfielder's organizational tasks will naturally become lighter, but the problem is that the defense in the frontcourt is denser and it is easier to lose the ball.
but
Seeing Ma Ma in the central defender position, Chen Mo understood.
"The threat of losing the ball in the frontcourt is much smaller than the ball being intercepted in the midfielder position, and because the ball control area is in the frontcourt, Manchester United will be pushed deeper when defending, so even if Manchester United intercepts the ball and counterattacks, I also have more time for retracements.
Moreover, because our formation is high up, even if we retreat, Di Maria and Bale will not retreat too deep. In this case, if we block Manchester United's counterattack, Pony Ma will be able to directly attack from the back. Initiate a long pass online to find them.
Ma's ability to pass the ball long is the reason why he lets Ma play as a central defender! "
Thinking of this, Chen Mo figured it out.
Marco Polo's retreat is not to enhance Arsenal's ability to control the ball in the midfield and backcourt, but to give Arsenal the ability to launch long-pass counterattacks directly from the back line!
In other words, because there is no good candidate for the defensive midfielder and he is unwilling to let Chen Mo give up part of his offensive firepower to retreat, Wenger is ready to directly abandon the defensive midfielder's organizational area and premise Arsenal's entire organizational area!
The premise of organizing the area will lead to more lost ball rights, but this is not important, because the defensive midfielder reduces the organization of offense, so the two defensive midfielders can press behind more!
And Ronaldo’s active areas are two ribs!
A single midfielder cannot protect the two rib areas, but a double midfielder can cover them perfectly!
Of course, if the double midfielders pull wide, there will be space in the middle, so the question returns to the original point - can Chen Mo use his personal ability to suppress Manchester United's midfield so that they dare not press forward to support Ronaldo!
Thinking of this, Chen Mo's eyes revealed a look of enlightenment.
Seeing the look in his eyes, Wenger smiled happily: "It seems that you have almost understood the core of this tactic. Next, I hope you will try to hit the goal with your left foot more often in the game, and you will also try to hit the goal with your left foot more often." Work on your left foot more."
"I see."
Chen Mo nodded seriously.
His left and right feet are relatively balanced. If his right foot is five stars, then his left foot is 4.7 stars.
The difference is not big, but to be honest, he rarely hits the goal with his left foot. First, because Henry was on the left before, he rarely moved on the left side, so he didn't have many opportunities to hit the goal with his left foot.
The second is that he is a bit perfectionist on the court, so unless there is a big space with his left foot, he will try to shoot with his more confident right foot if he can shoot.
But things are different now.
Not only did Henry retire due to injury, the team also had to switch to 4231.
Bell and Di Maria do not yet have the top level of strength. He and Chen Mo must attract defensive players to help create opportunities. However, an offensive player who can only shoot with his right foot is far less lethal than the threat from the bipedal monster!
.
Chen Mo and Wenger continued to exchange ideas, but the two did not chat in this regard for too long.
The first meeting between Arsenal and Manchester United this season is in the third round. After all, there is still more than a week to go.
And the most important purpose of this dinner is actually to let the players let go of their inner tension. After all, no matter how much we talk about tactics, the players still need to implement them.
Just like in this game against Tottenham, Arsenal had no problems with tactics, but they were still tied, so it makes no sense to pay too much attention to tactics.
Wenger understands this truth, and Chen Mo also understands this truth.
Ever since, as Manchester United beat Chelsea 4-1, after Cristiano Ronaldo got his first hat trick of the season, seeing the expressions on the faces of his teammates that they were not having fun yet, Chen Mo went back to the room and turned over a large Stack of discs.
Ahem, of course it’s not a small X-disk for learning.
Although occasionally Chen Mo and Yue Chixun would watch that kind of movie and learn new postures to feel fresh, such as pushing the whole person up and then driving piles, such as side pile driving, but this kind of thing is definitely not suitable. Watch it in the presence of more than twenty grown men.
But Chen Mo didn't think about what movie to watch, but Bell pulled out a picture of Xingye's "Shaolin Football".
It is now 2007. Although Hong Kong movies have passed their peak years, to be honest, Bruce Lee and those martial arts Hong Kong movies still made many Europeans and Americans interested in kung fu.
Now when I hear it, Shaolin is football again.
The friends who were drinking here were all interested, so under the expectant eyes of everyone, Chen Mo had no choice but to smile and shake his head. While putting the disc into the VCD, he said: "Be mentally prepared, this is better than Da Kongyi." It’s an exaggeration.”
Indeed, although Shaolin football has the word football, its core has nothing to do with football.
But this is not important, just like the football player Sato Kojiro's tiger shot can crack the concrete wall, but the football player is still popular all over the world.
Except for some people who like to find logic in movies, not many people really care about whether football is played like this. After all, watching movies is entertainment.
This is indeed the case.
As the movie begins, when the plot progresses to Master Xing going to the stadium to play football, and a group of people opposite him drop various "weapons" such as wrenches and screwdrivers, the small yard immediately bursts into hearty laughter.
I have to say that Mr. Xing’s talent for comedy is really strong, and although it is an English translation, the translation is actually pretty good. He completely translated Mr. Xing’s sense of being mean but a little bit serious, and it made a group of people. Everyone was laughing.
And soon, when the plot progressed to Master Xing practicing throwing balls with eggs, everyone present became even more excited.
Amidst Henry's cheers, the somewhat shy Marcelo was pushed to the stage and asked to perform an egg-breaking performance.
Break the egg, this is too exaggerated.
Not to mention Marcelo, even if Ronaldinho comes, it will be difficult.
But Marcelo was indeed very happy today and drank a lot of wine, so under the atmosphere, he actually laughed and ran to the front of the crowd and started throwing eggs.
Naturally, the result was that the newly purchased Hermès shoes were soaked with egg yolk.
But this guy didn't care. When his shoes got wet, he took them off and walked barefoot.
I have to say that Marcelo's touch on the ball is really good. He broke a few eggs and once he got used to the weight of the eggs, he actually knocked them up a few times.
This was a big deal, and the whole place was in a state of shock, so Huber also jumped over the table, shouting that he wanted to try it too, but Chen Mo hit him directly in the head with a big orange.
Who knew that Bell had drank a lot today and was so excited that he picked up the orange and threw it back.
This time the yard immediately became lively.
Looking at a group of little guys playing around, Wenger was smiling and smoking and drinking next to him, with the smile of an old father on his face.
This is Chapter 418. I had a draft before, but I forgot to change the chapter name.
And now I can’t change the chapter name
(End of chapter)
