The goal was scored more than 20 seconds into the game, and the entire Emirates Stadium was completely ebullient.
This goal is so exciting!
Not to mention those ordinary fans, even top stars such as Yao Ming's mother-in-law Beyoncé stood up and took out their mobile phones to take pictures of Chen Mo and quickly send Mmc!
The Manchester United fans on the other side were very depressed at this time. They all held their heads and looked at Chen Mo, with disbelief written all over their faces!
Although the Premier League has developed football for more than a hundred years, the football atmosphere is stronger and there are more fans who understand football, after all, almost all media have been badmouthing Arsenal for more than half a month.
Most people are easily influenced by what others say.
In this atmosphere, most Manchester United fans watch the game with a winning mentality. They are eager to announce Manchester United's high-profile return with a big victory over Arsenal as a background.
But now Chen Mo scored just twenty seconds into the game!
What kind of monster is he? !
The Manchester United fans were a little confused, especially among the crowd of Manchester United fans, there was a fat man carrying a banner with a photo of Cristiano Ronaldo and wearing black-rimmed glasses.
Twenty seconds ago, he was still [hahahaha] with his friends.
But now, his expression was completely stiff, and he looked stupidly at Cristiano Ronaldo, who had just spread his hands on the field and was grinning, but soon, he reacted.
"It's okay, I, Ronaldo, will definitely turn the tide! Only adversity can build ambition, you know! Believe in me, Ronaldo, I will definitely lead Manchester United to victory! Come on! Cristiano Ro~naldo!!! "
The fans in the stands had mixed reactions, and on the sidelines, Wenger was also completely excited and hugged his assistant.
But compared to his excitement, Ferguson was completely red at the moment!
Blushing and thick neck!
Clench your fists and keep shaking them!
His eyes were fixed on Chen Mo, full of anger and helplessness.
As a top coach, as a top coach who has been fighting with Wenger for nearly ten years, Ferguson will naturally not underestimate Arsenal like the traffic-eating media.
On the contrary, after watching Arsenal's first two games this season and judging Wenger's intentions, Ferguson became even more fearful!
Yes, even more fearful!
This season Arsenal has lost two key players, Hummels and Modric. Normally, the team's strength will definitely decline, but in his eyes, this is not necessarily the case!
Arsenal has Wenger, a top team-building guru, and also has a monster like Chen Mo!
As a direct competitor of Arsenal, to be honest, Ferguson has studied Chen Mo no less than Wenger. He knows very well what terrifying potential Chen Mo has!
Chen Mo has the best offensive talent in the world!
It's just that the previous Arsenal lineup was better. Chen Mo would not fully utilize one ability, but rather show his versatile ability, such as playing as a false nine in the forward position, or dropping back to the back line to play as a central defender. It is to check for leaks and fill them up, and to make up for Arsenal's shortcomings.
But things are different now. With Modric leaving, Henry being injured, Arsenal's shortcomings cannot be made up for by Chen Mo alone!
In other words, Arsenal's current personnel configuration can no longer support Chen Mo's previous performance, even if he helps the team find and fill vacancies, he can still exert 95% of his strength!
So Wenger's tactical changes this season are very bold!
Completely liberating Chen Mo's offensive firepower, and even letting the entire team work for Chen Mo. In other words, if the previous Chen Mo had 95% of each corner of the hexagon, then the current Chen Mo would have increased the offensive aspect to 120%. above!
Chen Mo was terrifying before, and even more terrifying now!
Ferguson judged this, so he deliberately used Park Ji-sung to partner with Hargreaves in this game, with the purpose of suppressing Chen Mo!
But he never expected that Chen Mo's condition would improve so quickly!
Scored the goal in twenty seconds!
but
"They're going to have big problems on defense."
Thinking of this, looking at Chen Mo celebrating at the corner, and then looking at Mascherano who was also celebrating, the emotion in Ferguson's eyes gradually faded, and his clenched fists gradually loosened.
Falling behind in twenty seconds seemed like a huge disadvantage.
Well, it's actually a huge disadvantage.
But to be honest, Arsenal's offense this time also exposed a problem, that is, Arsenal's forward lethality is still not strong enough!
This goal seemed to be Chen Mo's personal performance. Whether it was passing Park Ji-sung, or the arc pass, or later getting rid of Scholes and scoring from the top of the arc, Chen Mo's performance was extremely brilliant. Eye.
But in fact, the forward penetration of Marcelo and Rakitic is also very crucial!
It was the simultaneous forward movement of the two of them that created an opening for Di Maria, and Di Maria's opening was the key factor that led to Giroud getting a one-on-one opportunity in the penalty area, and then creating a wall for Chen Mo!
And here's the problem!
This offensive tactic not only requires Chen Mo to pass the defensive players one-on-one, but also requires Marcelo and Rakitic to advance at the same time to complete!
The conditions are very harsh!
Not to mention that no one's dribble success rate is 100%, but the side effect of these two people's forward penetration is that Arsenal's defense will become very weak!
As long as Arsenal's attack is defended, Manchester United's counterattack will have a great chance of succeeding!
Of course, now that Arsenal are ahead, there is no need for Arsenal to adopt such extreme tactics, but here is the problem.
Arsenal's current backcourt passing and cutting operations are young brothers Ma Galakitic and Flamini. These three have the ability to pass and run, but they are not all outstanding in this aspect.
Especially Rakitic and Flamini.
Rakitic is too young, while Flamini has no talent in this area.
These two people are completely unable to achieve the kind of court control that Modric had last season. They can still control the ball in the backcourt when faced with the pressing pressure of newly promoted teams like Crystal Palace, but now they are facing Manchester United!
Manchester United, the top team in the Premier League!
Under the pressure of Manchester United, the three of them had no way to control the ball in the backcourt. They could only play the ball to the frontcourt and organize the passing and running with Chen Mo as the core.
Arsenal's frontcourt is Manchester United's midfield and backfield.
It is very difficult to control the ball in that densely defended area. Even Chen Mo cannot easily control the ball in the frontcourt. Therefore, Arsenal's entire back line must also press forward to respond, and in this way, Arsenal will have a gap behind them. Expose a lot of space!
As for giving up possession of the ball completely and relying on the speed of Bell, Chenmo and Di Maria for defensive counterattacks, that is even more impossible.
After Hummels left, the highest point of Arsenal's defense was the 1.86-meter Chiellini, but he was not as tall as Cristiano Ronaldo, and Arsenal could not guard against Manchester United's high-altitude balls.
"The current Arsenal is like a shark! It has sharp teeth and strong muscles, but it has no fish bubbles. It must keep swimming to ensure that it does not sink to the bottom of the sea.
Now all we have to do is sneak this shark! Make sure you don't get bitten again and keep wearing down his strength, and then find a way to kill him! "
With this in mind, Ferguson hurriedly called midfielder Scholes to the sidelines amid cheers, and the scene was captured by cameras and displayed on screens in thousands of homes and in the commentary box.
"Mr. Ferguson called Scholes to the sidelines only twenty seconds into the game to lay out tactics. It seems that Chen Mo's goal put tremendous pressure on him."
"That's for sure. Even if we don't say that today's game has attracted a lot of attention, there are many big-name stars here, just because of the grudges between him and Wenger, I believe he definitely doesn't want to lose to Wenger again. "
"Yes, but conceding the goal so early is definitely a major blow to Manchester United's overall tactical arrangement. Let's see how Ferguson, the top coach, makes changes. Okay, now Arsenal's celebration is over, and the game It’s about to start again.”
Amid the nagging commentary and boos all over the place, as the referee blew his whistle, Rooney knocked the ball back to Scholes in the center circle.
With Carrick replaced in the starting lineup by Park Ji-sung, Scholes is the absolute core of Manchester United's midfield.
Press him to death, and most of Manchester United's operation will be paralyzed. However, after the kick-off, Chen Mo did not blindly cooperate with Giroud to press Scholes immediately. Instead, he stood relatively back, cutting off Scholes and Ronaldo. contact, while constantly shaking his head to observe.
Don't be too excited after scoring a goal. You must immediately observe whether the opponent has changed his tactics. This is Chen Mo's habit.
"This old fox figured out our destiny so quickly!"
But after observing for a while, he frowned and subconsciously glanced at Ferguson on the sidelines. At the same time, he quickly stepped forward to cooperate with Giroud to guard Scholes!
no way!
At this time, Manchester United's formation has changed from 433 to 253!
After kick-off, Manchester United started to play very strongly. When Giroud pressed Scholes, the two full-backs directly raised their waists, but the purpose of these two full-backs was not to help Scholes relieve the pressure. , but to advance from the side!
Manchester United's full-backs are Evra and Brown.
The former is a top attacking full-back who can compete for the number one full-back in the world.
Although Brown is not well-known in the latter, he has been playing in the Manchester United first team since 1997.
That era was the heyday of Manchester United's eight championships in ten years. Being able to gain a foothold in Manchester United in that era was already a testament to its strength.
The two full-backs are very strong. It is not easy for Bell and Di Maria to defend. Even on Di Maria's side, he simply cannot restrict Evra, who once played as a forward.
Arsenal's wingers can't restrain Manchester United's full-backs!
At the same time, although Manchester United's pre-match roster included an inverted triangle combination with Tevez and Rooney at the corners, and Ronaldo in the middle as a false nine, in fact it was difficult to get opportunities in the middle. Ronaldo spends more time on the wing.
Ronaldo pulls one side, and Rooney on the other side also pulls the side.
These two are also top players, and Clichy and Marcelo are even more difficult to defend!
Arsenal's wingers couldn't defend Manchester United in a two-on-two situation. At the same time, because the central defender was not tall, it was difficult to defend against high-altitude balls. Therefore, Arsenal did not dare to let go of the wingers and adopted a contraction formation to squeeze the space. way to limit.
There is no way, Arsenal's double defensive midfielders can only pull to the side to help defend, but if the two defensive midfielders pull to the side, even if they are not completely pulled to the side, they are just helping to defend the side, then the center will still have to be open!
Moreover, Ronaldo is a free man in the frontcourt, and he will constantly change positions in the center and on the wing!
Very difficult to guard against!
As time passed bit by bit, with all the fans watching, Manchester United directly passed the half and kicked around the front edge of Arsenal's penalty area!
The scene occupies an absolute advantage!
"Mr. Ferguson is really well prepared for this game. Look at how Manchester United's current lineup is running, and the players' position changes are so smooth."
"Indeed. Manchester United's ball possession rate during this period is estimated to be more than 70%. But to be honest, under Chen Mo's suppression, Manchester United is somewhat in a position of being unable to score. You see, Manchester United's wingers are very strong. It was opened directly to Rakitic and Flamini, but their midfielders just didn't dare to press hard.
Why is this? It is because Chen Mo's long-distance running ability is so strong that once he gets a chance to counterattack, he cannot be stopped by one person alone. Therefore, even if there are some opportunities in the middle, Manchester United does not dare to rush forward. "
"Coach Zhang Lu is right. However, not daring to press rashly does not mean not daring to press. I think Manchester United is also waiting for a perfect opportunity to kill with one blow."
"Yes. Now it depends on which of the two sides can hold back first, but I feel that Manchester United is still under more pressure. After all, they are one goal behind."
The commentators muttered, but their analysis was correct.
In the eyes of fans, Manchester United does have an advantage in the current scene. After all, the ball is always at Manchester United's feet, but the ball possession rate is not directly related to victory or defeat. There are many teams that lose with more than 70% of the ball possession rate.
In fact, many coaches would rather not have possession of the ball than face this kind of situation where they have the advantage but cannot score.
And the reason for all this is because Manchester United is throwing a tantrum!
Chen Mo's impact is too strong, and not only Chen Mo, but Bale and Di Maria are also fast horses. Now Manchester United is pressing hard. If the attack fails and Arsenal counterattacks, it will be very dangerous!
In the current stalemate, a big factor is indeed that Manchester United is afraid of Chen Mo's counterattack ability, but there is one point that the commentary did not touch on.
That's why Manchester United's midfielder couldn't open up the situation in this game. There's another bigger reason, that is, Park Ji-sung replaced Carrick in the starting lineup!
Park Ji-sung is the core in South Korea, but in this Premier League dialogue, with his ability he can only play blue-collar football, while Carrick is a metronome similar to Busquets' style!
Chen Mo faced greater defensive pressure when Park Ji-sung was on the court, but correspondingly, in the previous two games of Manchester United, Carrick delayed to organize the ball and Scholes wandered in the midfield and participated more in the offensive end. there is none left!
Because Carrick did not play, he had played as a shadow striker and attacking midfielder. Scholes, who had been more active in the attacking midfielder position in the previous two games, could only play as a playmaker from behind, while Park Ji-sung and Hargreaves' offense The ability is not strong enough!
To put it simply, because of Chen Mo, Ferguson weakened Manchester United's midfield offensive ability and strengthened its defensive ability. This is more stable, but it is also more difficult to break the game!
Of course, normally, it would be easier for Manchester United, who have the initiative to play around the Arsenal penalty area, to score, but the problem is that Chen Mo scored within 20 seconds of the opening!
Arsenal are now in the lead. The further they delay, the more impetuous the Manchester United players will be!
Knowing this, Chen Mo is not in a hurry, and every time he has free time, he will shout loudly to let his teammates stabilize their emotions and focus on defense!
One side didn't dare to give it a try, and there was no need to rush now. So, under the watchful eyes of all the fans, the situation gradually came to a standstill!
Time passed bit by bit, and when the time came to the thirty-seventh minute, the cheers of the Arsenal fans in the stands became more intense, but at this moment.
"beep--"
Accompanied by a harsh whistle, under the frowning gaze of Chen Mo, who had just retreated to the top area of the key, Rooney forced a cut in from the right wing, causing Marcelo to foul.
Free kick!
The location is at the bottom right of the Arsenal arc, about thirty meters from the goal!
"Free kick from this position."
Seeing Ronaldo walking behind the ball and rolling up his trousers, Chen Mo frowned.
Eating betel nut gives me a headache, that’s it for today.
Sorry I will never eat it again
