Sunny skies and crowded San Siro stadium.
Following the referee's whistle, Ibrahimovic, wearing a blue and black striped jersey, knocked the ball back to Deco in the center circle.
Normally, unless there is a targeted arrangement like an opening blitz, the center will be in a relatively idle state after kicking off the ball. But as soon as the ball was passed, Ibrahimovic immediately moved towards the open spaces on both sides, looking for space to respond. The moment he had just moved, Chen Mo had already led all members of Arsenal to press forward!
Yes, high press!
It is impossible to guard against the high-altitude balls of Vieira and Ibrahimovic, and it is also difficult to guard against Eto'o's counter-attacks. In this situation where perfect tactical restraint is almost impossible, whether to attack or defend depends purely on the temperament of this team. !
And there is no doubt that neither Wenger nor Chen Mo is the kind of character who is willing to hand over the initiative to others!
"As expected, he's still the same radical guy, but with this size and speed."
As soon as the ball rolled to his feet, Chen Mo was already rushing in front of him.
Knowing that with Chen Mo's character, Arsenal would definitely press high in this game, Deco was actually prepared for it, but when he saw Chen Mo running towards him like a rhinoceros, he still couldn't help but shrink his pupils slightly.
Big, fast and hard!
This is the most intuitive feeling that Chen Mo brings to people after gaining weight!
Originally, he wanted to attract Chen Mo in front of him and pass the ball, but seeing the aggressive Chen Mo, Deco did not dare to push the ball any further and immediately knocked the ball back to Vieira in the center.
As soon as his pass was sent out, Chen Mo was already flying towards Vieira.
Change direction at high speed and continue sprinting at full speed!
Chen Mo's mad dog-style pressing in the opening game caused all the fans to scream in surprise, lamenting that Chen Mo was so motivated in this game, but it was obvious that the commentator saw the problem.
"It seems that Inter Milan's 4312 formation has put a lot of pressure on Chen Mo."
Watching Chen Mo keep pressing on the court, Andy secretly tskted his lips in the commentary box. Samuel next to him nodded and adjusted the microphone beside his mouth: "That's true. Normally, 4312 has a bigger butt and is more suitable for kicking. A defensive counterattack formation, but Inter Milan’s coach Mancini is a coach who emphasizes ball possession.”
"Yes, to describe Mancini's tactical style in a simple way, it is to focus on possession of the ball, and at the same time, the team's overall formation will be higher up.
This is somewhat similar to Barcelona under Guardiola this season, but the difference is that Barcelona's main ball control area is in the midfield and the frontcourt, and the ball is basically at the feet of Xavi Iniesta and Messi Villa. Although Inter Milan's formation Still pressing, but the ball is more often at the feet of the three defensive midfielders and Deco.
The formation is high, but the ball control area is far behind. The lethality is definitely not as sharp as Barcelona, but the problem is that Inter Milan has a super center like Ibrahimovic on the front line. Once Chen Mo gives Inter Milan the opportunity to easily start forward in the midfield, let If Ibrahimovic easily gets the ball or grabs a high point in the penalty area, Arsenal's defense will be under great pressure! "
"Yes, but that's what hurts Arsenal the most.
They want to prevent Ibrahimovic from causing trouble in their penalty area. The first thing they have to do is not to give Inter Milan's players the space to adjust their aim and kick. Once Inter Milan's players can deliver accurate shots without pressure, A lob or a through ball, then Ibrahimovic will get a very good opportunity.
But as Andy just said, Inter Milan's ball control area is in the middle and back of the formation. If you want Inter Milan's players to block the ball, Arsenal's players need to move to a very advanced position to press. However, once a large number of players move to the frontcourt to press, the area between the back line and the midfield line will expand.
You must know that whether it is Ibrahimovic, Eto'o or Deco, their footwork is top-notch.
It is impossible for Arsenal to give up this area, which means that Mascherano cannot stand too far forward.
But the problem is that Arsenal must force Inter Milan's midfielders and backfielders, so the pressure on Chen Mo and Rakitic is very high. They must run non-stop and cannot give Inter Milan a chance to easily start! "
"That's right. If you can't start easily, the success rate of the attack will decrease, and the decrease of the success rate of the attack means that Arsenal can control the ball more and get more counterattack opportunities.
You must know that Arsenal's counterattack ability is very strong. Once Inter Milan's attack fails and Verdimaria and Chen Mo seize the opportunity to counterattack, Inter Milan's defense will be difficult to withstand. "
"Yeah. However, I think the main reason is that Di Maria and Chen Mo are difficult to defend. After all, Chivu's ability to face Di Maria is still lacking. But on Bell's side, I think Inter Milan is foolproof. There is Sasha in the midfield. Nettie, with Maicon on the back line, it is difficult for Bell to cause any damage under these two layers of defense."
"Haha, when you talk about Bale, I think of Bale claiming on social media before the game that he will make someone regret betraying Arsenal in this game. I didn't say who it was, but there is no betrayal in this Inter Milan team. Arsenal only has Maicon.
It just so happens that the two of them are facing each other again. I really don’t know what kind of sparks will develop later. "
"Yes, but why do you feel that Chen Mo's tactical choices during this period are a bit strange? Why does he attack Inter Milan's center every time he takes possession of the ball?
The lineup of 4312 has three midfielders, and the middle area is the most difficult to break through! Look at this ball first! Central defender Cordoba suddenly dribbled the ball forward! Oh My God! His thrust was too sudden! Rakitic didn't react at all! "
In the seventh minute of the game, the situation on the field suddenly changed!
Rakitic's through ball towards Giroud was intercepted. The next second, after intercepting the ball, the central defender Cordoba directly drove the ball forward at high speed!
The central defender attacks!
Seeing Cordoba pushing the ball forward from the back line on the field, the whole audience was instantly excited, and the voice of the commentator also raised an octave!
Although Chen Mo Rakitic and Arsenal's front three are pressing very hard, they only have five people after all. Even if you add Marcelo who occasionally goes forward to help, there are only six people, and Inter Milan is there. There are seven defensive players in the zone.
Four defenders, three defensive midfielders, and plenty of space for yo-yoing behind.
In this case, no matter how strong Chen Mo's running ability is and no matter how hard the others work, they still can't completely kill all Inter Milan's players.
It was already difficult to defend, but Cordoba suddenly broke through with the ball from the central defender position!
Cordoba is 1.73 meters tall and his name is not very famous, but he is the backbone and captain of the Colombian national team!
He was the player who led the team to win the 2001 America's Cup!
strong ability!
It happened suddenly again!
This hit Rakitic on this side by surprise. When he moved sideways to make up for it, he was already more than half a body behind!
"be cheated!"
Seeing Cordoba striding forward with the ball, kicking off Rakitic and sprinting towards the top of the Arsenal arc, Chen Mo immediately turned around and chased after him, but he did not go. Chasing Cordoba!
"Damn! This guy is still so sharp!"
Cordoba took Rakitic away, and Rakitic's departure directly liberated Vieira!
Just before taking two steps forward with his big black legs, he saw Chen Mo running towards his route from the corner of his right eye. Vieira frowned while running.
Vieira can be said to be one of the top five B2B all-around midfielders in the entire football history!
And his strongest point is to penetrate from the back row and rely on his terrifying physical advantage to hit the penalty area!
Now Inter Milan's formation is relatively high, but most players are positioned relatively deep. Only Deco, Ibrahimovic and Cordoba are left in the frontcourt, while Arsenal are four Defender plus midfielder Ma Ge!
Four versus five!
They are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. Even if the ball reaches the frontcourt, it is difficult to have a good offensive effect.
At this time, he must use Vieira's running and height advantages to insert at high speed from the back area of the center, and quickly press into the frontcourt to make up for the numerical disadvantage!
This is one of the reasons why Inter Milan's ball control area is in the middle and back of the formation!
Vieira's great run!
There is no doubt that Inter Milan's offense seems to be carried by Ibueto Odko, but in fact Vieira is also a very key player in the tactical positioning!
And now, Chen Mo just wants to kill him directly!
Seeing Chen Mo returning to defense at high speed towards his forward route, Vieira's eyes were full of pain!
"This attack is in trouble!"
It’s not just Vieira who has a pain in the ass!
On the sidelines, after seeing Chen Mo's movements, Mancini, who had a gentlemanly look, also rubbed his forehead with his left hand and looked at Chen Mo who was running wildly. Seeing Chen Mo's terrifying running speed, his eyes were filled with anger. and anxious!
Vieira's characteristic is to play from behind. He thought before the game that Chen Mo would be particularly wary of this, so in this game he specially asked Vieira to go to the left, and Zanetti, who has been playing left back and left midfielder, moved to the right. .
The purpose is to keep Vieira away from Chen Mo on the offensive end!
but!
"You think Xiao Mo is too simple."
From the corner of his eye, he noticed Mancini beside him who was so anxious that he was pulling his hair. Wenger, who was also craning his neck to watch the situation, had a glint of pride in his eyes.
Inter Milan is in 4312 formation!
The defense of this formation is the strongest in the middle, while the defense of the wings, especially the two waists, will be weaker.
But, just like the doubts of the explanation!
Why in the first seven minutes, every time Arsenal got the ball, Chen Mo would dig into the middle of Inter Milan's strongest defense? !
It’s not that Chen Mo is banging his head against the wall!
Chen Mo's purpose is to pull Vieira from the wing to the center to help defend!
There is no doubt that it is more difficult for Inter Milan to break through the center when Vieira retreats towards the center, but correspondingly, Chen Mo can also get closer to Vieira during the counterattack!
but!
After fighting so hard and grabbing the ball, the purpose was not to launch a fatal blow, but to better limit their Inter Milan attack after the attack failed.
"Does Arsenal want to maintain a draw in the away game?!"
"Then why not start with the taller Flamini instead of Mascherano?!"
"There is something wrong with Chen Mo's tactical intentions!"
Fighting to get the ball but not to hold the ball and launch an attack!
I don’t want to attack with the ball, and in the midfielder position is Ma Ge, who is difficult to play a big defensive role in this game!
Attack or not, defend or not!
Weird!
Very strange emotions came to mind. As the distance between Chen Mo and Vieira got closer and closer, the strange and uneasy feeling in Mancini's heart became stronger. But at this moment, a man with a bun hair and wearing a The figure wearing No. 7 jersey gradually stopped in front of him.
This is
When he saw clearly that the man running in front of him had a monkey face, Mancini's eyes suddenly widened and he rushed to the sidelines and shouted: "Pull over! Zanetti! Pull over and pinch him!!!"
The roar was huge, but as Inter Milan launched an attack, the Inter Milan fans in the stands roared even louder!
Because Chen Mo chased back diagonally to block Vieira, Zanetti, who also pushed forward after being cleared, couldn't hear Mancini's instructions at all!
Three midfielders.
Vieira cuts forward from the left!
Zanetti moves forward from the right!
At this time, Inter Milan's two waists have been completely hollowed out!
There is only one Maicon left next to Bell!
Seeing Bale stop near the center circle line and not continuing to pursue, and thinking about Chen Mo's previous weird tactical choices, how could Mancini not realize that Arsenal's tactical intention is actually to counterattack!
How could Mancini not guess that they had fallen into Arsenal's tactical trap? !
Sure enough, the moment Mancini rushed to the sideline and yelled, and just a second before center back Cordoba handed the ball to Deco, who was a sharper passer, the whole place was boiling!
"Oh my God!!! What's going on?! Arsenal's entire back line is unified!"
"Eto'o is in an offside position! Mascherano and Thiago Silva are all on top! Cordoba has no passing point!!!"
The commentator yelled at the crime!
Amid the exclamations of the fans in the audience, Clichy, Chiellini, sister-in-law, Marcelo!
Arsenal's entire back line was in an instant, and Eto'o, who had been waiting for the ball behind him, stood out and became the brightest offside guy in the game!
Eto'o was in an offside position and instantly freed his opposite sister-in-law!
And obviously, such a unified plan to create offside tactics must have a next step!
In Deco's shocked eyes, his sister-in-law and Mao Zedong swooped in one after another and instantly sandwiched him into a hamburger. At the same time, right back Clichy also moved in to help Chiellini. Attack Ibrahimovic in front and behind!
Vieira's forward penetration was blocked by Chen Mo, Deco, the pivot in the midfield and frontcourt, was double-teamed. Ibrahimovic, the left center on the same side, was also double-teamed. Eto'o was in an offside position!
In an instant, with Rakitic following behind him, the corner of his eye glanced at Di Maria, who was also running towards the left rear. Cordoba, the left center back who was dribbling the ball at high speed, went numb!
There’s no point to hit the ball!
And he will also be double-teamed by Rakitic and Di Maria!
Of course, this situation was caused by Arsenal creating an offside trap and liberating his sister-in-law. As long as it can be delayed for a second or two, Eto'o will come back from the offside position. By then Arsenal will be in trouble, but!
He Cordoba is a central defender!
There is no way he can withstand the pressure of two people with his feet!
"I have to cum myself!"
After all, he is a first-class player who can lead Colombia to the America's Cup. The moment he judged the situation, Cordoba's eyes turned fierce, he stepped forward to meet the ball and hit the ball!
"boom!"
Under the puzzled eyes of many Inter Milan fans in the stands, Cordoba, who rushed to the upper left side of Arsenal's arc, aimed at the far corner and hit a powerful blast with his right foot!
Explosive shooting from a distance of about thirty-five meters!
Central defenders, especially central defenders in Serie A and the Premier League, have excellent physical fitness. This kick is powerful and heavy, but it is a pity that the current situation was arranged by Wenger and Chen Mo!
How could they have missed the possibility of Cordoba shooting with a desperate kick? !
Goalkeeper Almunia is already ready!
A super long-distance shot of about 35 meters, if the goalkeeper is prepared, unless the arc is very weird, there is basically no possibility of scoring.
Eto'o had just run back to the defense from the offside line. Under his watch, the ball hit the arms of Almunia who had already run to the far corner like a trailing cannonball!
"Fight back!!!"
Before the sound of his temper hitting his chest could be heard, a violent roar came from behind him that shocked Eto'o's eardrums to the point of pain!
Just as he turned his head, he saw Chen Mo, who was chasing after him, turning back and running!
Lunge variations!
Rushing towards the Inter Milan half-court!
Everyone knows the lethality of Chen Mo's counterattack!
Vieira immediately turned around to chase. Although Inter Milan's right midfielder Zanetti did not go to help defend, his attention was attracted in an instant, and it was at this moment that Arsenal goalkeeper Amu was distracted. Nia held the ball and rushed out of the goal with a powerful hand throw!
Throw the ball vigorously!
The force was so strong that Almunia, who threw the ball, was almost knocked over!
But this ball didn't go to Chen Mo!
Instead, look for Bell on the left!
Amid the exclamations of the fans, the ball hit Bell hard on the left!
"Gift Crab! Oh my God! Almunia didn't find Bigfoot to find Chen Mo! He was looking for Bell!"
"Maicon has pushed behind Bale! Zanetti is also running to help defend! Bale has no space to handle the ball. Oh! He gave the ball to Marcelo who came up to meet him! Marcelo sent a through ball! Beautiful Through ball! This ball passed between Maicon and Zanetti... Oh! Wait! This through ball is too big! Marcelo's through ball is too big!"
"And the route is also towards the middle! Bell can't get this generous gift! Wardfa! What's going on?! Bell's outsider ate a wheat hole! Oh my God! What did we see!"
The commentator roared to the point of breaking his voice!
All the fans stood up immediately. Even Chen Mo, who was rushing forward in the middle, saw what happened on the left side and his pupils shrank unconsciously!
Under everyone's almost dull eyes, facing Marcelo's slightly crooked through ball, which was too far in advance, Bale and Maicon turned around and chased back at the same time!
Side racing!
The path of this ball is close to the inside, and Maicon is stuck on the inside, and Bell is on the outside!
Maiconne runs in a straight line!
Bell curves out to left!
If you run away from home, you will definitely suffer!
but!
With everyone's eyes opening wider and wider, Bell was swinging his legs vigorously, swinging his arms vigorously and squeezing his brows. After three kicks, Bell passed Maicon directly from the outside and over Maicon's left shoulder!
"What kind of monster is he?!"
Looking at the side face of Bell, who was quickly catching up with him from his left shoulder and about to pull away from him, Maicon vigorously swung his arms and kicked the ground hard. He could even feel the joints of his arms shaking due to the excessive force. I felt a little sore because my steps were getting bigger and bigger, and my balance was about to fly off, but!
Bell is still faster than him!
Can't understand!
Maicon can't understand!
Just look to the left with wide eyes!
Suddenly, time seemed to slow down.
The nose, the eyes that kept shaking, the sweat crawling down the cheeks, the red earlobes, in the next frame, Maicon's vision was only a ball-shaped head soaked in sweat, with some golden quills sticking out!
overtake!
When Maicon turned around, the owner wearing the red and white No. 7 jersey had already exerted force on his right shoulder and got stuck in front of his left side!
Half of the body is stuck!
"Ruined."
When he saw the gold-plated BALE on the number seven, Maicon's eyes were splitting as he ran wildly. He reached out to reach for Belle's shoulder, but he only caught a burst of air!
"Gift crab!!! It's so scary! Bell's overtaking on the wing ate Maicon!"
"The drainage ditch turns a corner! I have watched this episode! He is AE86!!!"
"Don't worry about this! He wants to go it alone!!!"
Single-handed ball has always been the scene that most ignites fans' emotions on the field!
Amid the roars of the commentator, Bell made a sweeping move along the left wing, rushed to the left side of the Inter Milan penalty area, and fired a straight left-footed shot before Materazzi could take over!
Shoot!
Cloud-piercing arrow!
Fast, straight and tricky!
Under the watchful eye of Chen Mo, who was carrying Vieira and squeezing into the penalty area, Bell's shot went directly through the crotch of Matera's blocked crotch, and passed through the near post and goalkeeper Cesar who stretched out his left foot. The toe of his left foot directly hit the side net on the right side of the goal!
"The goal is scored!!! Oh my god! This goal is so beautiful! So beautiful!!! I swear, after this game, Lamborghini will definitely find a way to find Bell as an endorsement! He is a luxury supercar in his own right!" !!”
"Congratulations to Arsenal! They took the lead in the eighth minute of the game! This is definitely a wonderful start for them! Congratulations to Bale too, he not only scored a wonderful goal, but also fulfilled it The rhetoric he put out on social media before the game! Look how excited he is now! He even stood on the railing! He is pumping his fist excitedly at the fans who support them!"
Amid the commentary's celebrations, Bell, who had scored a wonderful goal, rushed to the sidelines excitedly, climbed onto the railing and punched the fans vigorously. The Arsenal fans at the corner responded to Bell with deafening cheers!
"This guy is too excited."
Watching Bell, who was standing on the railing and punching constantly, running out of the penalty area, Chen Mo, who originally wanted to play stack of arhats, smiled and slowed down halfway through.
The biggest contributor to this goal is undoubtedly Bell, but without his pre-match tactical design and his constant struggle with the Inter Milan midfielder for more than seven minutes, this counterattack opportunity would most likely not have come about.
Unknown hero.
But Chen Mo didn't care about this aspect, or in other words, he had no intention of competing for glory for Bell, the younger brother he had watched grow up.
just feeling
"Time passes quite quickly."
Looking at the figure in front of him, who has completely grown out, and who is standing on the railing and constantly pumping his fists to stir up the emotions of the fans, Bell recalls the man who met him in the PS2 section when he and Yue Chi Xun were shopping in the supermarket four years ago, claiming "My idol is Chen Mo." Sir, I will play for Arsenal in the future] A thin little boy, Chen Mo felt more like a...
Weird nurturing pleasure.
"Eh~ This idea is so disgusting~"
