"Chen Mo is going to kick the right midfielder!"
"He's going to face Ronaldinho!"
The commentator got excited. Not only the commentator got excited, but all the fans in the audience stared with wide eyes!
But despite the anticipation, the eyes of Arsenal fans are more worried!
Chen Mo has strong physical fitness, and they are very confident about Chen Mo's single defense ability, but the problem is that now Ma Ma has moved into the penalty area!
Arsenal only had Chen Mo left in the right backfield, and Chen Mo said he was facing off against Ronaldo, but it was actually a one-on-one fight!
Because there is left back Evra standing behind left winger Ronaldo!
Evra played as a winger during the youth training in 1997. After entering the adult team in 1998, he played as an attacking midfielder. It was not until 2002 that he transitioned to playing full-back in Monaco.
This is a full-back with a strong body, extremely fast speed, and very strong offensive attributes. In past games, he often moved forward to help Ronaldo take away defensive players!
Chen Mo is hard to guard against!
but
"It's not that difficult to guard against."
As Di Maria's pass in the middle was intercepted, Chen Mo immediately returned to Arsenal's right backcourt, pushed back his black hair that was soaked by the rain, and stared at Ronaldo and Ronaldo's back not far away. Evra helped pass the ball.
Evra has strong offensive ability as a full-back, but why does he play all the way from winger to full-back?
It's because his foot talent cannot play as a pure attacker.
And he's left-footed.
Cut inward against the foot, and move down the foot along the bottom.
Left back Evra's biggest role on the offensive end is long-distance running and crosses.
Of course, Shunzu doesn't mean that you can't cut inside at all. For example, Di Maria in 2022 rushed to the bottom line and then changed direction. Shunzu cut inside and caused Dengbao's behind-the-back foul.
But Evra's footwork is simply not as good as Di Maria's, and there is no one as smart as Denbao in the Arsenal team.
As for the bottom pass.
Arsenal's penalty area is now full of people, and as Flamini retreats to play the left center back, Chen Mo also shrinks to the edge of the penalty area, and even center Giroud retreats to the top area of the arc. Arsenal's overall defense has actually Relatively high.
And more importantly,
"I wish Zlatan was still here!"
Seeing Arsenal's formation, Ferguson stood on the sidelines in the heavy rain and clenched his fists unconsciously, his eyes full of helplessness!
If there is any shortcoming in their Manchester United lineup, it is that the striker is not high enough.
Tevez is 1.7 meters tall, Rooney is 1.78 meters tall, and Scholes, who is pushing forward, is only 1.7 meters tall.
This lineup basically does not have much high-altitude bombing ability. The header threat is mainly provided by Ronaldo, who bounces back and forth between 1.85 and 1.89 meters tall, and cuts into the penalty area without the ball. But now Ronaldo is stuck by Chen Mo Living!
Chen Mo’s defensive qualities are as good as Ronaldo’s!
Chen Mo doesn't have much time to practice defense, so his disadvantage is that he can't keep up one-on-one, especially when guarding offensive players with extremely flexible feet like Ronaldinho and Messi.
But Chen Mo's physical fitness is explosive. Whether it is turning, jumping or fighting, he is top-notch. He also has a strong sense of space and strong observation ability. He can clearly judge where his own players will position themselves and where there will be gaps.
Ronaldo's breakthrough ability is not strong.
No need to talk about principles, just look at the facts.
Regardless of whether it is Ferguson, Mourinho or Zidane, every coach who uses him, except for Ferguson who was recruited by Ronaldo in the early days and reached the 1st place in 2 seasons in 3 years, the top 16 of the Champions League in 2 years, and failed to qualify in the group stage in 1 year, No one else has ever used Ronaldo as a wing blaster.
Ronaldo is in any team, as long as it is a season where the team performs well, he will definitely not be a wing blaster.
Although I don’t want to say that my breakthrough ability is not strong, it is a fact.
However, Ronaldo's running without the ball and offensive sense are indeed of historical level.
But this is why Chen Mo’s defensive qualities are as good as Ronaldo’s!
Chen Mo's ability to defend against breakthroughs head-on is average, but his defensive awareness is absolutely top-notch, and his offensive sense is actually offensive awareness.
To describe it simply, if Ronaldo's offensive ability and Chen Mo's defensive ability are made into a five-pointed star chart, then Ronaldo's strengths can be said to be directly covered by Chen Mo!
Ferguson was right.
Under the watchful eyes of him and all the fans, Ronaldo kept running back and forth, sprinting, and even used various strange expressions to try to distract Chen Mo, but...
Useless.
Chen Mo was indeed guarding against Ronaldo, but his attention was not entirely on Ronaldo.
The reason is very simple. No matter how many times the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers change course and branch out into many tributaries, they will always end in the sea.
Ronaldo couldn't beat Chen Mo one-on-one, so he could only move without the ball.
But no matter how Ronaldo runs, his ultimate goal must be to find an opening in Arsenal's defense. What Chen Mo has to do is to keep observing and find possible loopholes in Arsenal's defense one step ahead of Ronaldo!
The loophole was blocked and Chen Mo was still by his side. Naturally, his teammates passed the ball to Ronaldo less and less.
At first, only the coach and some senior fans felt this, but as time passed, all fans began to find that Ronaldo seemed to disappear!
Ronaldo can't get the ball!
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
When he once again ran out of space, his eyes widened and he was about to reach out for the ball. Chen Mo had already moved in front of him to cut off Scholes' passing route. Ronaldo was completely speechless. He slapped his thighs with both hands and spread his hands directly, his face Full of helplessness!
This is the biggest shortcoming of Biafeng!
If your teammates can't contain you and you can't run out of space, you'll have no choice but to go to jail!
What makes Ronaldo even more uncomfortable is that if he is outside the penalty area, Chen Mo will often let him take two steps to give him a chance to get the ball!
What's this? !
This is contempt!
Even if I let Ronaldo get the ball, you can't get past me!
But the key is that Ronaldo really can't get the ball to beat Chen Mo!
Cristiano Ronaldo has known Chen Mo since he was 17 or 18 years old, and he has regarded Chen Mo as his imaginary enemy since Chen Mo landed in the Premier League!
He knows how strong Chen Mo is and also knows Chen Mo's defensive characteristics.
In a one-on-one head-on breakthrough, he couldn't get past Chen Mo!
And Ferguson's tactical positioning for him is not to blast from the wing!
Cristiano Ronaldo is very arrogant, but he is not stupid. He knows that if he bombards his teammates, he will not be booed by the fans at most, but it will anger Ferguson.
He hasn't played at the top level yet, but he's not the completely spoiled guy he was later.
However, after all, Arsenal has one less player to play. Although all the players are now huddled near the penalty area and the penalty area is completely surrounded, the price is that Arsenal has many gaps in its defense of areas beyond 30 meters.
There is a long shot opportunity!
Cristiano Ronaldo is no longer obsessed with finding opportunities at the penalty area line or on the wing, but starts cutting more towards the center!
"Are you admitting defeat?!"
"Hahaha, how dare you say anything about replacing Chen Mo?!"
"Sexy attacker!"
"How dare you say you are a top forward if you can't deal with defensive players one-on-one?!"
Arsenal fans who are willing to follow the team to Old Trafford to watch the game are die-hard fans and have a good understanding of football.
As Ronaldo's area of activity changed, they clearly saw that Ronaldo was forced to change his area of activity because he was unable to break through Chen Mo's defense!
Now Arsenal fans are excited.
They were booing in the stands.
"Are you preparing to sacrifice your teammates with blood?"
"Sure enough, I was fooled."
Seeing the expression on Ronaldo's face becoming more and more urgent, and the number of air cuts in the middle increasing, Chen Mo's lips raised a smile.
One less player will inevitably lead to defensive holes, but the gap in the middle is an opportunity for Ronaldo, and it is also an opportunity for Arsenal!
Yes, the long-range shot gap in the middle was specially placed by Chen Mo for Ronaldo!
He defended so hard just now with the purpose of driving Ronaldo into the middle!
the reason is simple.
Long shots are a very difficult means of scoring, and under normal circumstances, the right to take long shots in the central area belongs to the midfielder.
Because the midfielder is already active in that area, even if the long-range shot misses, it will not have much impact on the overall formation.
But it’s different now!
Ronaldo moved from the winger position to the center!
If Ronaldo wants to take a long shot from the center, Manchester United's left back Evra must move up to the winger position to suppress Chen Mo. Otherwise, Chen Mo can follow Ronaldo to the center, and Ronaldo will have no chance to kick.
At this time, Arsenal's striker is Marcelo, Giroud and... Bale!
Bale is on the right!
Manchester United left back Evra is on top!
Next to Bell, only the slow midfielder Hargreaves is left.
As long as Cristiano Ronaldo misses a long shot, Arsenal can counterattack directly and find Bale!
This is why Chen Mo feels that Ronaldo is going to sacrifice blood to his teammates.
The goal is attributed to Ronaldo.
The shot failed, Arsenal counterattacked successfully, and the blame lies with their teammates.
After all, there are not many people who can see the secret here.
"Chen Mo is indeed a defensive midfielder, and his defensive ability is indeed strong. Ronaldinho is starting to look for opportunities in the middle."
"Yes, the main reason is that Chen Mo's physical fitness is too strong. It is difficult for players who are not quick and agile to beat him. And I have to say that Chen Mo's on-the-spot command ability is indeed strong.
After scoring a goal for Manchester United, he immediately led the whole team to retreat. No matter where Manchester United controlled the ball, they would stay near the penalty area and set up a bus. In this case, Manchester United could not play behind Arsenal, and Ronaldinho The running ability cannot be shown. "
"Yes, but there is no way. This is Manchester United's home court. Normally, home court is an advantage, but just because it is home court, in this ten-on-eleven game, Manchester United definitely does not want to be tied by Arsenal at home. In this situation This makes it impossible for them to keep playing in the backcourt, and they have to press forward."
"Yes, but attacking is a double-edged sword. After all, if the formation is high, there will be a lot of space behind them. If the attack fails and Arsenal counterattacks, Manchester United will be uncomfortable."
"Yeah. You see, Giroud has shrunk to the top of the key during this period, but Bell is still in the high position. It's obvious that Chen Mo is playing his cards right."
"Indeed, it will be Manchester United who takes the lead next! Wait! Let's see this goal first! Oh! My God! Ronaldinho passes Giroud and shoots!!!"
The commentator exclaimed!
In the 43rd minute of the game, Ronaldo once again moved to the center.
Normally, the defensive personnel in this area are the midfielders, but because Arsenal's defense is missing one person, Chen Mo has no choice but to use Flamini to supplement the back line, and then let Giroud withdraw.
Giroud is the center. Although he is tall and strong and has a very positive attitude, his defensive awareness is relatively low. But Arsenal has no choice now and cannot just give up the top of the arc.
There is no doubt that Giroud has become Manchester United's breakthrough.
With the commentator exclaiming and all the Manchester United fans standing up, when Evra went up to restrain Chen Mo, Ronaldo immediately ran to the center.
He knew what Ronaldo wanted to do, and he also knew that Ronaldo's long shot might put a lot of pressure on his own defense. However, thinking of Ferguson's tactical arrangement, Scholes still stuffed the ball immediately.
[There is no need to steal the ball, and even if it is passed, there is no need to turn around and cover the penalty area. Just block the opponent's shooting route at the top of the arc, and don't do any other work! 】
Standing at the top of the arc, looking at Cristiano Ronaldo running towards him from the right, and then looking at the ball sent from the front left, he felt that he had a chance to steal it, but Giroud remained unmoved.
Giroud is not the best forward, and he even has very obvious shortcomings, but he has been able to play as Arsenal's main center for so many years because he has a long board, which is exactly what Arsenal needs. What makes him reliable is diligence. , relying on an honest and strong tactical execution ability!
Thinking of Chen Mo's instructions, Giroud quickly lowered his center of gravity, ready to move sideways to block Ronaldo's shooting route!
Full attention!
Keep your eyes on Ronaldo!
It doesn’t matter how Rooney and Tevez move behind him!
It doesn’t matter how Evra and Brown move on the two wings!
Ronaldo, who was about to touch the ball, looked into the penalty area and looked like he was about to pass the ball, but he didn't care!
If you want to pass, pass it, I will only guard against long shots!
"Damn! Is he a robot?!"
Running wildly all the way, he made a dunk with his right foot just before touching the ball. Ronaldo looked like he was about to pass the ball into the penalty area with a look of shit on his face!
His speed is indeed fast!
This time of lateral movement, Xiao Ma has not yet completed the adduction.
His Cristiano Ronaldo has passing routes!
This ball was passed in, and Tevez was one-on-one with Chiellini!
A normal defensive player's body will definitely react at this time, and he will subconsciously turn slightly to the right to cover the penalty area!
As long as Giroud's center of gravity moves slightly, Ronaldo will immediately change direction and move the ball forward, rush past Giroud's left side, miss Giroud and then shoot!
This was Ronaldo's idea, but Giroud didn't even turn around, he didn't even move his eyes!
Giroud makes Ronaldo feel like a robot!
He didn't know that these were all orders from Chen Mo!
The entire Arsenal team trusts Chen Mo's tactical arrangements!
"Pass to Tevez?!"
Knowing that he no longer had much space to shoot, Ronaldo, who had just touched the ball, immediately wanted to pass the ball to Tevez, but after all, his first plan was to get rid of Giroud and shoot by himself. It was the decision made at this moment. Already tucked in to guard Tevez!
Tevez was guarded by Marco Polo and Chiellini, and Giroud, who moved into the right center position, was guarded by Flamini and Marcelo!
Now Ronaldo only has three choices left!
Pass back to Scholes.
The ball is distributed to the wing to the right back Brown who is vacated after Marcelo moves in.
And a reckless kick!
Ronaldo is now a little outside the top of the arc. Although there is no perfect shooting opportunity, Giroud is the center after all, and the center back and other defensive players are stretched apart. Ronaldo continues to take two steps sideways and can get out of the space. Long shot!
"You have to do it yourself!"
Thinking of this, Cristiano Ronaldo no longer hesitated, his upper body instantly straightened, he made fists with both hands, licked his upper lip with his tongue, looked at Giroud on the left, and faced the ball rolling from the right, he gently stepped forward with his left foot. !
Ronaldo is running sideways, but Giroud is moving sideways!
The speed of lateral movement is obviously not as fast as that of lateral running, and Giroud is already slow!
In just one trip, Ronaldo and Giroud were separated by half a body!
Without any hesitation, the moment space appeared, Ronaldo tightened his hands and hit a right-foot blast!
The ball was extremely fast, but as Ronaldo's eyes gradually widened, the ball still hit the upper thigh of Giroud's outstretched right leg!
"Crack~"
The sound of the ball hitting his thigh was transmitted to his cochlea. Under Chen Mo's wide-eyed gaze, the ball hit the goal crossbar in a straight diagonal line. The next second, "Bang——"
The rainwater on the goal crossbar was shaken up!
Amid the exclamations of all the Manchester United fans covering their faces, the ball hit the crossbar of the goal and then bounced straight down!
"Oh my God! Did this goal go in?! Or is it straight up and down?!"
"Gift crab! The referee didn't say anything! The Arsenal goalkeeper hugged the ball with both hands. Oh! The goalkeeper kicked it! Arsenal's counterattack is coming!"
