Watching the replay of the game and eating hot pot.
Normally, a meal would last for more than half an hour without drinking. But seeing Chen Mo Fang watching the game with great interest, Keli and Yue Chi Xun didn't say much. After finishing the meal, they just chatted quietly beside them. Codeword.
However, when he once again saw Messi breaking through Ashley Cole at the bottom line and dribbling the ball into the penalty area, Chen Mo took a deep breath and turned off the TV.
"Don't look at your boyfriend anymore?"
Keli, who was eating an apple on Yuechi Xun's shoulder, raised her eyebrows. Chen Mo smiled bitterly and said: "What the hell boyfriend? It's mainly because it's useless to watch. This game is played at Camp Nou, maybe it's more conservative in away games. Well, Chelsea was trapped in the penalty area by Leo and Ronaldinho, and I couldn’t see what I wanted to see most.”
"What do you want to see most?"
"Yeah. Just... forget it, you won't understand even if I say it. Let's go back to the hotel first."
Chen Mo waved his hand, picked up the mobile phone on the table and stood up. Keli rolled her eyes and supported Yue Chixun, who had a big belly, to stand up: "What? How do you know I don't understand if you don't tell me?"
"It's football tactics, are you sure you want to listen? Don't tell me that I can just recite sutras."
"Well, forget it then."
When she heard that it was about football tactics, Keli's expression suddenly brightened. With Chen Mo's "I knew this was going to happen" expression, she quickly helped Yue Chixun carry the small bag and followed Chen Mo downstairs. .
It's amazing to say that Chen Mo is very interested in football tactics, but the two girls around him seem to be allergic to this aspect. They get headaches when they hear football tactics.
However, the two girls are not interested in football tactics, but Chen Mo has many friends.
The three of them chatted and wandered back to the hotel in the British night breeze of May.
The hot pot smell was very strong. As soon as Chen Mo opened his laptop, Keli dragged him into the bathroom.
Well, the shower gel is quite smooth and moisturizing.
After a violent operation, the two girls spread out on the sofa and watched TV. Wearing pink pajamas prepared by himself, with half-dry hair, Chen Mo sat cross-legged on the bed and turned on the computer. He soon found a person in Mmc's friend list who used a koala eating leaves as his avatar.
"What are you doing?"
"Of course I'm training. Do you think everyone is on vacation like you! (angry)"
"Stop practicing, Manchester City won't be in the top four this year anyway."
"You fart!"
"Those who believe in God cannot say bad words. Besides, strictly speaking, your opportunity to compete for the fourth place is given to you by me. How do you treat your benefactor like this?"
"If you have something to say, tell me quickly! I don't have time to talk nonsense with you!"
His fingers were typing on the keyboard unskillfully, and Chen Mo looked at the screen with a smile on his lips.
Yes, it was Kaka on the other side of the dialogue window.
Speaking of which, Kaka is also having a hard time this year.
Kaká joined Manchester City from AC Milan in June last year. Manchester City is indeed rich and even hired Mourinho, but because there is no Champions League spot for this season, they can't lure any big names even if they have money.
But how to put it, Mourinho's team-building ability is indeed strong, and Kaká's sharp counterattack is indeed suitable for Mourinho's anti-counterattack tactics.
This season has been completely corrected, and the team's Kaka data, built with himself as the core, has ushered in a super explosion. Currently, he has scored 17 goals and 11 assists, completing a terrifying double-double.
Under this circumstance, except for running-in problems at the beginning of the season, Manchester City once fell to tenth in the league, and has been steadily climbing since then.
Before Arsenal's game against Everton, Chelsea were fourth in the league, Everton was fifth, and Manchester City had climbed to sixth.
Sixth, this result is already very good for Manchester City's history, but there is no doubt that whether it is Mourinho, Kaká or Manchester City's senior management, what they want is a Champions League spot.
Only with a Champions League spot can Manchester City's money-making ability be fully activated.
However, before Arsenal's game against Everton, Manchester City's chances were actually slim.
Mainly because Everton's upward momentum is also very strong. Even if Chelsea falls, it will be difficult for Manchester City to compete with Everton, but...
In that game, Arsenal and Everton had a brawl. Not only was Chen Mo suspended, but a large group of Everton players were also suspended.
It can only be said that the snipe and the clam compete for the fishermen's profit, or to be more precise, Everton, the clam, insisted on biting Arsenal, which did not even want clam meat, and ended up losing its own.
At present, Manchester City has climbed to fifth in the league, and is only a few points away from fourth-placed Chelsea. They have a great chance of knocking Chelsea down!
Of course, Chen Mo doesn't particularly care whether Manchester City can play in the Champions League next season.
After chatting casually with Kaka, Chen Mo changed the topic to Barcelona's Champions League semi-final against Chelsea.
The core of the topic is talking about Barcelona's midfield configuration.
There are two most important points in the passing and control system. The first is the ability to explode one-on-one from the wing. Chen Mo does not need to think too much about this. He and Messi have known each other for many years, and he has known Ronaldinho for many years. How strong is Barcelona's explosive ability from the wing.
In addition to wing blasting, the second is the control of the midfield.
Especially for this Barcelona, Xiaobai and Xavi are too small and basically have no ability to defend in position, so Barcelona needs a lot of possession of the ball. But the reason why Chen Mo didn't watch half of the game in Hotpot City is because Chelsea could not provide enough threats to Barcelona's midfield.
Messi and Ronaldinho were too destructive, and Chelsea's formation had to be stretched to both sides. In this case, Habai played very easily.
However, although it was easy, Chen Mo still saw some problems - passing and controlling, but Guardiola seemed to be less confident in controlling Barcelona's midfield. Most of the time, the ball was near the two wings.
Yes, not confident!
The ball did not stay at the feet of Habai in the center for a long time, but more often on the wing, and the reason for this was Yaya Toure.
Yaya Toure is a top midfielder, but there is still the problem. Players must not only look at their strength, but also whether their style of play is suitable.
The characteristic of the beast's waist is that it covers a wide area and has strong vertical impact from up and down, but this Barcelona does not need vertical impact at all. They will attack in front of the opponent's penalty area for a long time, and they mostly use horizontal movement, passing and cutting.
The key is that Barcelona's midfielder can deliver threatening balls and provide teammates with contact points. It doesn't matter whether they hit the penalty area or B2B runs.
To put it simply, Yaya Toure is very strong, but his skills are of little significance to Barcelona.
It may even become a breakthrough!
Chen Mo's idea was quickly understood by Kaka, but the guy was still in the gym after eight o'clock in the evening and it was not convenient to type. So soon, the two grown men started a video chat late at night.
Hearing Chen Mo and Kaka talking and laughing on the bed, and Yuechi Xun and Keli lying on the sofa watching TV, they often rolled their eyes.
They chatted about Yaya Toure until about ten o'clock in the middle of the night. It wasn't until Keli and Yuechi Xun went to bed that Chen Mo hung up the phone.
However, it was obvious that both girls were very dissatisfied with Chen Mo's attitude of still focusing on football even though he was on vacation.
Dissatisfied and on vacation, there is no doubt that this is a very angry night.
Early the next morning, when a family of three went to the zoo, despite the bright spring weather, Chen Mo's face was still a little pale. He just followed behind weakly as a follower, responsible for taking photos and buying snacks.
But to be honest, the zoo is really interesting.
They fed bananas to monkeys, fed food to tigers and lions, and even Wolchi Kaoru and Keli took photos with sea lions in the aquarium. The atmosphere was very warm.
They played from ten o'clock in the morning to three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and then the three of them returned home happily.
But maybe I was too excited during the day, but once I got back to the hotel room, it was another fierce battle!
The days passed day by day in such a happy and dull time.
The four-day holiday passed by in a flash. As Keli, who was "fed and drunk", got on the plane to the United States, Chen Mo also returned to normal life.
On May 2, in the 35th round of the Premier League, Arsenal faced Manchester City at home.
Chen Mo watched this game with Yue Chi Xun in the stands, but he had no choice but to be suspended.
The commentator also teased Chen Mo for taking an early vacation, but after all, it was Arsenal's home court. Even if Chen Mo didn't play, when the camera turned around, the audience still burst into violent cheers.
There were even many fans holding dolls in their hands to congratulate Chen Mo on becoming a father.
The atmosphere was very lively, but the situation on the field was not optimistic.
Many of Everton's main players were suspended, and their performance began to lag behind; Chelsea wanted to fight on two fronts, but after being beaten 3-0 by Barcelona in the first round, their morale was demoralized, and their performance also declined.
Faced with this situation, Manchester City, who got the opportunity, are now as fierce as an old dog.
Especially Kaka.
Kaka's performance in this game was superb. In a counterattack in the first half, he directly received the goalkeeper's throw ball at the front of the Manchester City penalty area, and then ran with the ball all the way, connecting Nasri and Alexander in the midfield. Song finally scored with a blast from the top of Arsenal's arc.
A very beautiful long-distance run, but what's more interesting is that after scoring the goal, Kaka ran to Chen Mo's side of the stand with a big smile and showed off his arm muscles towards Chen Mo.
The movements are somewhat provocative.
However, Chen Mo and Kaka have a good relationship, and fans all know it, so after this little easter egg came out, the atmosphere in the audience became more warm and harmonious.
In the end, in a very lively atmosphere, Manchester City defeated Arsenal 2-1 with Kaka's long shot in stoppage time in the second half.
Defeated at home, but Arsenal fans were not too upset.
The first is because the opponent is Manchester City. Arsenal and Manchester United have been fighting for nearly ten years. There have been many fights between the two sides. Not many Arsenal fans like Manchester United. But now seeing the rise of Manchester City, which is in the same city as Manchester United, Arsenal fans actually also Very happy.
Secondly, Arsenal fans know that the team has no hope of winning the league this season. The focus is on watching the Champions League. Moreover, in this game, Arsenal’s entire midfield was almost entirely substitutes, so they did not feel too uncomfortable after losing. .
The fans didn't feel too uncomfortable, and neither did Chen Mo. After the game, he invited Kaka to his home for dinner.
Not only Kaka, Kaka's wife Caroline also came.
This Latin beauty is indeed beautiful, and like Yue Chi Xun, Caroline is also pregnant, and she is two months earlier than Yue Chi Xun. The due date is the 10th of next month, which is June 10th.
As two pregnant women, there was naturally a lot to talk about, and the meal was very lively.
After the meal, Chen Mo also said that he would invite Kaka to watch the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals in the next two days, but unfortunately, Manchester City has to rush for points recently, and Kaka does not have much time.
After sending Kaka away, within two days, the whole of North London became lively again.
For no reason, the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals is here.
The first leg was 4-1, and the suspense of this game was already very small. Before the game, those Arsenal fans had already "greeted" the arrival of the Liverpool bus on the street with songs of victory and proud jeers.
There is a fan culture in the UK called the Expeditionary Force, the kind of die-hard fans who will follow the team on away games.
Normally, in this kind of second-round game with almost no chance, even the expedition team will have a relatively small number, but Liverpool is Liverpool, and this team will sing "You Will Never Walk Alone" in the heavy rain.
Liverpool fans have been singing loudly since before entering the stadium, surrounding the team bus and singing all the way from the outside to the stadium. But unfortunately, Liverpool dug too big a hole for themselves in the first round.
Losing 1-4 at home means that Liverpool not only needs to win this round, but also needs to score four goals from Arsenal to have the opportunity to play overtime and penalty kicks.
Liverpool once had a famous scene of reversing Barcelona with four goals, but Barcelona has special characteristics.
Barcelona has always been like this. If they can suppress the opponent in terms of possession of the ball, then it is easy to say, but if they cannot suppress the opponent in possession of the ball, they will be kicked out by the opponent.
This is mainly because Barcelona, from defenders to forwards, emphasizes ball control in every position. This is a very extreme staffing and tactical play. Once the ball possession rate cannot increase and the situation cannot be controlled, the only choice is to Defend in position, but defend in position
To put it simply, when Barcelona does not have the ball, it is purely defensive, and its defensive ability is probably about the same as that of the mid- and lower-tier teams in the Premier League.
It's like dancing on a knife's edge, either gorgeous or GG.
But Arsenal is different.
Arsenal cannot achieve the terrifying ball possession rate that Barcelona does, but Arsenal's defense is serious. It is not Barcelona's kind of defense that relies on possession. It has hardness, thickness, coverage, and frantic fighting. Liverpool wants to score four goals. It's too difficult.
This is also true. After the opening, Liverpool went straight to the rescue, trying to force the ball to the front of Arsenal's penalty area and take advantage of their aerial advantage, but it was of no use.
Can't hold it down.
Just like why Pirlo plays the attacking midfielder behind, and why many classic attacking midfielders have disappeared, it is because the further forward and closer to the opponent's midfielder and back line the ball is controlled, the greater the defensive pressure they face.
Facing Arsenal's crazy pressing, Liverpool, who were afraid of losing the ball and being hit by a counterattack, simply couldn't press in.
However, Fabric's performance in this game was pretty good. In the 33rd minute of the game, he suddenly shot a cold arrow from the top of the arc seven or eight meters away, and a world wave blasted through the door guarded by Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia.
However, that didn't stop there. Liverpool, who had scored a goal, wanted to pursue the victory. Gerrard was directly intercepted by Chen Mo when he picked up the ball with his back at the top of the key.
After stealing the ball in the backcourt, Liverpool's whole team pressed forward again without any hesitation. After stealing the ball, Chen Mo ran directly to the middle of the ball. After attracting most of Liverpool's players to the middle, Chen Mo directly scored with a right and was beaten by Alonso. Di Maria, who was being marked, missed it. Bell behind him dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and then pushed into the far corner with his left foot!
One to one.
There were only 45 minutes left in the game, and Liverpool still had to score four goals. There was no doubt that when Bell rushed to the corner and knelt down, the game was over.
In the end, the score was fixed at 2 to 2, and Arsenal advanced to the 2008 Champions League final with a total score of 6 to 3!
There is no doubt that after the game, the news media made various announcements and hype.
However, the focus of the media's propaganda is not Arsenal's victory over Liverpool, but Arsenal's three Champions League finals in four years!
This is an extremely terrifying result!
All of a sudden, the outside media were carrying out Chen Mo's heroic words when he was sixteen years old.
