Madrid has a pleasant climate in spring.
The sky is as blue as a mirror, and the warm spring breeze slowly pushes the white clouds on the horizon.
The atmosphere was beautiful, like a scene from a Hayao Miyazaki cartoon, but under the sky, the crowded Santiago Bernabeu Stadium was bustling with activity.
"He doesn't want to come, and we don't need him either!"
"We have Sneijder!"
"Modric! Prove yourself!"
"Come to Real Madrid, Chen Mo! We will give you everything here!"
"Haha, I can see that the fans in Madrid are very enthusiastic now."
Even before the game started, the entire Bernabeu fans were already very excited. Some people were waving Inter Milan flags, and some were eating popcorn and playing drums. However, compared to the boos at Inter Milan's home court, the fans here were not so hostile to Chen Mo, and most of them were there with smiles on their faces. Ridicule.
The atmosphere of the entire stadium is constantly steaming like a summer stove. In the commentary box in the corner of the stadium stands, the commentator Perez, wearing a short-sleeved white shirt, holds the microphone and smiles.
Next to him, his partner smiled and said: "Of course, Real Madrid fans have always been so enthusiastic, and it is precisely because of these fans that the Bernabeu can become a world football mecca. But, to be honest, I think Real Madrid fans face Chen Mo again, My mood at this time is probably more or less complicated."
"Haha, it is indeed a bit complicated. After all, Real Madrid has been poaching Chen Mo for three years, but they have never been able to poach him. Normally, Real Madrid fans would be angry at this time, but to be honest, Real Madrid brought these things on themselves.
When Chen Mo was leaving Barcelona, Florentino's team was very close to signing Chen Mo. It's just a pity that due to the poor performance of the first phase of Galacticos, Florentino, who was facing dismissal from get out of class, had much less control over the club. He could not give Chen Mo the core position of the starting lineup as promised when he came. He had to give it to everyone first. Dardenne comes on as a substitute.
As a result, everyone knows what happened next. Arsenal's midfield system with Chen Mo as the core and Vieira and Essien as assistants led Arsenal to the first Champions League trophy in team history. I remember that starting from that year, Real Madrid tried to take Chen Mo away every year, but they all failed in the end. "
"Haha, yes. A few months ago in the winter window, the sensation caused when Real Madrid and Manchester City came to Arsenal with 200 million euros, I still remember it fresh. But it is a pity that Chen Mo, a player with very few qualities The kingly temperament that the player possesses.”
"Yes, just like his compatriot Maradona. Many young viewers think that Maradona does not have enough honors and only became the world champion because of the World Cup. But in fact, it is more than that. Maradona has a very unique temperament.
When Maradona was 17 years old, he was in the Argentine Youth Team. He scored 40 goals and more than 20 assists in 44 games.
In 1984, Maradona left Barcelona for Naples in Serie A. In three years, he led Naples, which was still in the relegation stage when he joined, to win the first Serie A championship in team history.
Whether it is Maradona or Chen Mo, they all have a very unique temperament. Well, how to describe it? It feels like many players are [I am strong because of the team], and they are [the team is strong because of me]. I think this is the so-called kingly temperament. "
"Haha, [the team is strong because of me], this description is really appropriate. Okay, now that the players from both sides have entered the stadium, let's take a look at the starting lineup."
.
"The Bernabeu has never changed."
The sky is blue and the spring breeze is warm.
Standing in the center circle of the Bernabeu Stadium, Chen Mo, wearing a red and white No. 10 jersey, stretched his arms and moved his body, looking around at the crowded stands.
The overall color of the Bernabeu is white. It is one of the top stadiums in Europe and can accommodate more than 80,000 spectators. Even speaking, the more than 80,000 people are still a reduced number.
In the 1940s, the Bernabeu could accommodate 120,000 people. However, due to too many people and overcrowding, it went through three major reconstructions before it became the current 80,000 people.
However, Chen Mo never paid attention to the fans before the game.
After casually glancing at the stands, he turned his attention to the Real Madrid players wearing white jerseys opposite.
What Chen Mo saw at a glance was naturally the Magic Flute with a slightly embarrassed expression.
Yes, there is a little embarrassment.
It's not that it's because the opponent is embarrassed now. After all, even if Mo Flute left Arsenal, Chen Mo still had a lot of contact with him. When Yuechi Xun was pregnant, Mo Flute even went to Japan to visit.
The two have had a lot of interactions in the player tunnel before, and their relationship is still very good.
Embarrassing, mainly because Magic Flute has the feeling of "My heart is as high as the sky, but I didn't get out".
When Magic Flute left Arsenal, he wanted to play as a core player, but who knew that when he came to Real Madrid, he still played for others, which was a bit embarrassing.
"Let's start with it. But I guess it won't be long before he can play the core role. After all, this Real Madrid team can't go far."
Smiling and blinking at the Magic Flute, Chen Mo turned his attention to the other Real Madrid players, and finally fixed his gaze on a bald player.
Looking at Sneijder's bald head, Chen Mo kept thinking in his mind.
Before this game, he watched a lot of Real Madrid game videos.
The current tactical characteristic of Real Madrid is just one word - pressing and kicking.
No matter whether the opponent is strong or weak, just press and kick.
It's best to win if you kick. If you don't win, it will explode on the spot.
Of course, this is not because Real Madrid coach Schuster is crazy, the main thing is.
Real Madrid's previous head coach Capello was fired because Real Madrid's top brass felt that Capello's tactical style was too conservative, unsightly and did not attract fans.
The lessons of the past are still before us, and the personnel configuration of this Real Madrid team cannot play defense.
Real Madrid's current main lineup is 4132.
Strikers Raul and Ruud Ruud.
Midfielder Magic Flute, Sneijder and Robben.
Midfielder Diarra.
Defender Heinze, Cannavaro, Pepe and Ramos.
The player configuration is very good. In the eyes of the fans, this lineup is very strong, and the league is very bad and has various big scores, but in fact.
In Chen Mo's eyes, this is a very extreme team, even so extreme that it's a bit deformed.
The reason is very simple, 4132's double center, Ruud Ruud and Raul's greatest power is in the center.
Ruud is known as the king of the small penalty area. People have the wrong names, but there are no wrong nicknames.
Raul played as a midfielder in his early years. He is very skilled and has excellent shooting skills. However, his physical fitness is not good enough, his speed and confrontation are not good enough, and he has little effect as a wide player. His main role is to be a shadow forward next to Ruud Ruud.
Neither of the two centers in 4132 can play wide, but to have an offensive effect, the wings must provide threats. Otherwise, the defensive players will gather in the penalty area, and the offense will have no clue.
Therefore, in the offensive phase, the 3 in 4132 and the two wingers in 3, Magic Flute and Robben sometimes even need to press forward to the two winger positions to provide wing threats.
But in this way, the entire formation becomes 4114, which is 424.
It’s not even just 424. Although Raul can drop back and participate in the organization, his confrontation ability is not enough. He simply cannot hold the ball in the top area of the densely defended arc.
This means that Sneijder in the middle cannot stand back and has to push forward to support Raul.
so.
Strictly speaking, if Real Madrid's lineup wants to have an offensive effect, it can only evolve into 415 in the end.
415 formation.
Maradona used it when he led Argentina in 2010, and the result will be remembered forever.
The biggest problem with this formation is that once the team cannot obtain a dominant level of ball possession in the frontcourt, it will turn upside down.
Magic Flute, Sneijder, Robben, all 3 in 4132 must be pressed. How to defend with a single midfielder in such a large area in the midfield?
There is no midfielder to act as a moat, and it is useless to just rely on the back line to win the game.
But to attack, the first thing is to get the ball back from Real Madrid.
"The key is to see if I can hold Sneijder down!"
If Real Madrid wants to press and kick the ground to penetrate, they must combine the sides and the center and keep pulling.
Real Madrid's central hub is Sneijder and Raul, and Raul's activation is based on Sneijder's forward pressing assistance.
If Sneijder is held down, Raul will also be implicated.
As long as these two central hubs are paralyzed, Real Madrid's combination of wing and center will not be possible!
Looking at Sneijder not far away, Chen Mo's eyes flashed with solemnity.
Yes, dignified.
If it were at his own home court, or even if Sneijder was not at Real Madrid, he would be 80% sure to completely restrict Sneijder, but this is Real Madrid's home court!
Real Madrid's home whistle is terrifying. It's almost impossible for him to use physical confrontation to restrict Sneijder!
"There's something interesting about dancing in shackles."
Looking at Sneijder's bald head, Chen Mo's eyes flashed with excitement.
Chen Mo was a little excited. After a while, with the referee's whistle and the cheers of the fans in the audience, the game officially started.
"So fast!"
Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was wearing the pure white jersey No. 17, knocked the ball back to Sneijder in the center circle. The ball had just been passed and no one had even touched it. Sneijder saw Chen Mo rushing towards him like a rhinoceros. !
Chen Mo is very fast, and his physique is stronger than before, and the visual impact of his rush is stronger. However, Sneijder is not a rookie who is easily scared. He decisively distributes the ball to the defensive midfielder Diarra and then Movement forward.
But he had just taken two steps forward when he immediately noticed something was wrong.
"It's too early!"
Under Sneijder's frowning gaze, Chen Mo did not move forward to follow Diarra, but directly ignored Diarra and continued to follow Sneijder!
Although Chen Mo is a central midfielder, Chen Mo is the core of Arsenal's frontcourt offense, so his position is often closer to the midfielder area.
The same goes for Sneijder!
Normally, the two of them would be facing each other's midfielder, but now Chen Mo was directly next to Sneijder!
Midfielder to midfielder!
There is no doubt that in this situation, it is indeed more difficult for Sneijder to gain space, but because Chen Mo did not push up, Real Madrid midfielder Diarra gained a lot of freedom and could easily control the ball in the backcourt. .
but!
“They can’t run the ball in the backfield.”
"We can't have the ball in the backcourt!"
On the sidelines, the moment he saw Chen Mo's movements, Real Madrid coach Schuster clenched his fists and knitted his eyebrows!
Real Madrid has a home whistle, which is a home field advantage, but again, the home court also limits them.
Real Madrid’s top management now places great emphasis on offensive football!
His predecessor, Schuster, Capello was fired because of his conservative tactics!
Of course, off-field factors such as management play a role, but they are not that big.
The more important reason is that if Real Madrid cannot defeat Arsenal even with their home field advantage, it will only be harder if they go to the Emirates Stadium!
At Arsenal's home court, the whistle will definitely favor Arsenal. By then, the physical advantage that Arsenal players have developed in the Premier League will be further amplified!
In this game, Arsenal can draw, but Real Madrid cannot!
They must try their best to score goals in these ninety minutes to lay the foundation for the second round!
In addition, there is another reason why Chen Mo did not take the initiative.
That is, Real Madrid does not have the terrifying height advantage of Inter Milan. The double centers Ruud Ruud is 1.88 meters, Raul is 1.8 meters, and the midfielders are not tall either.
Real Madrid cannot control the ball in the backcourt like Inter Milan and then lob the ball from the air.
Real Madrid can only use frontcourt pressure and ground penetration.
Regardless of the overall situation, player configuration, or tactical style, it is impossible for Real Madrid to control the ball in the backcourt!
"The ball must be sent to the front court!"
"I have to get the ball in the frontcourt!"
As the core of the team, Sneijder naturally knows where his team's destiny lies.
Not only does the ball have to go to the frontcourt, but he, the core, needs to be guided in the frontcourt!
But if you can’t even get the ball, why should you comb it?
He knew all this well, but what surprised him was that Chen Mo was so decisive and did it like this at the beginning!
However, now Sneijder has no choice.
Soon, with all the fans watching energetically, Sneijder began to expand his running range, and at the same time, he sprinted back and forth more, trying to get rid of Chen Mo, but as time passed bit by bit, as he ran, The movement became more and more positive, and Sneijder's mood became heavier.
"Damn! He's too conscious!"
When Chen Mo once again took advantage of the gap where Chen Mo was shaking his head to observe, he moved to the left and tried to receive the pass from the Magic Flute, but just as he took a step forward, Chen Mo was already stuck to his side.
Looking at Chen Mo's side face and those eyes that were not looking at him at all, Sneijder was going crazy inside!
I can't get rid of it at all!
In terms of pure physical fitness, Chen Mo was faster and more powerful than him!
He used the chopping rhythm to catch Chen Mo's movement in the gaps where he shook his head to observe, but he couldn't get rid of it either!
Every time he moved, Chen Mo would follow!
Just like just now, under the observation of Sneijder, Chen Mo was obviously looking up to observe Robben's position, and Sneijder was in the blind spot of Chen Mo's vision. Chen Mo should not be able to see his movements, but Chen Mo Still followed him immediately!
Even though he had been mentally prepared for this long-eye-like consciousness in the back of his head, Sneijder was still extremely surprised at this moment!
Sneijder was surprised and uncomfortable, and as time passed bit by bit, the commentators on the sidelines also saw some clues.
"Chen Mo's defensive ability is really strong."
"Indeed, when I interviewed Mourinho before, I specifically asked why I heard that Chen Mo never practiced defense, but his defensive ability was still so strong. In the end, what do you think he answered?"
"kindness?"
"He said that Chen Mo's defense looked like he was marking people, but in fact, he didn't look at people at all."
"Huh? Don't look at people? What do you mean?"
"Yes, it doesn't matter. Mourinho said that Chen Mo's defense is terrible, not only because he is strong and fast, but also because he has the highest football intelligence among the highest level in the world.
The essence of an offensive player's movement is to find an opening, but Chen Mo has a broad vision and strong awareness. He can always find the opening one step ahead of others, and then use his physical fitness to block the position.
He also used a saying from the Dragon Kingdom to explain: If you attack the enemy, you must save it. Conversely, if you defend the enemy, you must attack. "
"If you attack the enemy, you must save it. On the other hand, if you defend the enemy, you must attack? It sounds interesting. Hey! Wait! Look at this ball first. Robben takes the ball on the wing and one-on-one with Marcelo!"
The situation on the court has suddenly changed, please explain and lean forward!
There is no doubt that although they have a lot of possession of the ball, Real Madrid, which has not actually made a threatening attack, is no longer obsessed with Chen Mo's center, but suddenly launched an attack from the wing!
In the ninth minute of the game, when Sneijder, who was retreating to get the ball, was followed by Chen Mo, Real Madrid midfielder Diarra directly kicked the ball to the right amid the shouts of Real Madrid coach Schuster. At the feet of Robben who retreated!
