The gold content of the Olympic men's football gold medal is not too important in the field of football. After all, it is an enhanced version of U23, and to be honest, the Olympic Games and FIFA are in a competitive relationship.
In essence, there is no difference between the Olympic Games and the World Cup. Athletes represent their countries in the competition.
If the Olympics really kicks off football, not to mention being completely replaced by the World Cup, the traffic will definitely drop a lot.
However, the Olympic Games are indeed huge. For FIFA, it would be a pity not to take advantage of this traffic, and it is also good for the training of young players.
The same is true for the Olympic Committee. After all, football is the world's largest sport. Even for U23, it would be a pity not to get this traffic, but FIFA is afraid of being really affected by the Olympic men's football team.
Ever since, after the Olympic Committee and FIFA negotiated, the Olympic regulations were introduced to limit the participation of players under the age of 23. Moreover, there was not much publicity about the Olympic men's football team.
Under such circumstances, Chen Mo and others, who had to return to Argentina for a parade after winning the World Youth Championship, no longer did these fancy things.
Moreover, there is no time to do anything because the first round of the Premier League is about to begin.
Normally, the first round of the Premier League is in mid-August, which is around August 10th earlier and around August 20th later.
Because this year is an Olympic year and a European Cup year, the start date of the first round is a little later than previous years on the 22nd.
Arsenal's first round match was played on the 24th, and the Olympic men's football final was played on the 22nd.
Time was very tight, so on the night after the finals, Chen Mo didn't even go back to Qianhu City. He had a dinner with relatives and friends directly at the hotel in Yanjing, and then took Keli and Yuechi Xun to the hotel. Got a plane to London.
Yes, Kelly is going to London too.
To be honest, she is relatively free this year, mainly using social software like Mmc. As long as she gets the first-mover advantage, the rest will be relatively easy.
It's a very simple logic. Seven out of ten people use Mmc, and the remaining three will join in. Unless the other party digs out more than half of the users at once, it will dig out two or three users. In the end, these two or three users will still be there. Will be back.
As long as this kind of software reaches a certain number of people, unless there is a revolutionary new product on the market, there will basically not be many big things that need to be handled by a boss of her level.
In addition to the fact that there are not many things to deal with on MMC's side, there is also the need to acquire Arsenal.
This kind of acquisition is definitely not something that can be done in a day or two. It involves not only the shares in the hands of other shareholders, but also matters related to sponsors, the Football Association and previous bank loans.
Mediation is required from all sides, and it is estimated to be a protracted battle.
No, they had just gotten off the plane and returned to London. The three of them had not been warm to each other for a long time after returning to the red house. Keli had put on a handsome suit that Chen Mo rarely saw, and got into a black Rolls-Royce Cullinan. After receiving the welcome, he went out to discuss matters with Arsenal's shareholders.
Chen Mo, on the other hand, waited until the housekeeper knocked on the door. After kissing the paunchy Yue Chi Xun goodbye at the entrance, he put on a set of sportswear and rode a bicycle to the club.
After not returning to London for three months, when Chen Mo was riding a bicycle through the streets of London like a college student, many British passers-by were shocked. There was even a fried chicken uncle who dropped the Coke in his hand directly to the ground.
There is no doubt that when we meet again three months later, when Chen Mo rides his bicycle to a relatively prosperous street, there are bursts of exclamations from both sides of the road, and even in the cars next to him, countless people roll down their windows. Chen Mo took photos.
Of course, many fans tried to stop Chen Mo from taking photos or something, but they were quickly stopped by some old fans.
It's okay to say hello while walking on the street, but Chen Mo doesn't like to be surrounded. Old fans all know this habit of Chen Mo, and the fans also gave the greatest support to Chen Mo, a hero who chose to stay behind during Arsenal's most difficult period. Support and respect.
So, against the background of the cries of apes on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, Chen Mo rode all the way to the gate of Arsenal Club.
It was already afternoon training time. The old doorman was smoking and reading a newspaper in the concierge. However, when Chen Mo's smiling face appeared on the glass, he immediately stood up, shivering, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and opened the door for Chen Mo. He laughed and opened the door for Chen Mo. Li stuck his head out and asked Chen Mo how he felt about going to the Olympics to abuse food, and whether he felt guilty.
They were all old acquaintances. Chen Mo parked his bicycle next to Bell's multi-million dollar red Lamborghini with a smile, and casually teased the old man for not having many good teeth in his mouth. Naturally, the result was that The old man was so embarrassed that he was stunned.
Dubi, in a much happier mood, under the bright sunshine, wearing a Nike sportswear and carrying a sports backpack, Chen Mo walked towards the training ground in a familiar way.
Naturally, I met a lot of staff along the way. What’s interesting is that although Chen Mo usually has a kind personality and has a good relationship with the club’s staff, and basically greets them when they meet, but this time, Chen Mo clearly felt it from the other party’s attitude. A little bit different.
For no other reason, the employees of Arsenal Club are actually aware of the relationship between Chen Mo and Keli.
Now that Keli is about to acquire Arsenal, Chen Mo's identity is naturally different from before.
Fortunately, not much has changed.
This is mainly because Arsenal itself is running fine.
Just kidding, there are several clubs around the world that can still compete for Champions League seats even if their shareholders and bosses don’t increase investment and have to repay loans.
Under those conditions, Arsenal can compete for fourth place every year, and it is still a very competitive Premier League. This actually shows that Wenger, the manager, has done a good job, and at the same time, the entire club's internal employees are also fine.
Keli had previously announced that there would be no layoffs after taking over Arsenal, so the attitude change of these employees was not too obvious. Instead, they were more looking forward to the changes in the club after Keli, a wealthy woman, took over.
This was quite a relief for Chen Mo. He didn't like embarrassing scenes very much.
Walking along the path beside the training building, soon, bursts of shouts reached his cochlea, followed the sound, turned an intersection, and ten standard courts surrounded by barbed wire appeared in front of Chen Mo.
However, what Chen Mo saw first was not the training ground for the first team, but the youth training team.
Arsenal's youth academy and first team train here, but the stadium is different.
It has to be said that as a team manager with a modest family background and no money to directly buy big-name players, Wenger attaches great importance to the cultivation of youth training.
There are ten football fields, six of which are used by youth training teams, from U10 kids to U20 second-team substitutes, there are people of all ages.
Looking at these children sweating under the scorching sun, the scene between me and Messi in La Masia subconsciously came to mind. A smile appeared on the corner of Chen Mo's mouth outside the barbed wire fence, and at this moment, there was a sudden sound in his ear. Let's yell.
"Fuck! What are you doing?! You even made him come here?!!!"
The voice was loud and loud, and except for one Fake, all the words behind it were in Spanish with a strong Argentinian accent.
Chen Mo turned around subconsciously and saw a goalkeeper wearing a gray jersey, who was probably a head taller than Chen Mo, clapping his hands and yelling at his teammates.
There is no doubt that the consequences of an Argentinian with no background spraying English people in London will not be too wonderful.
Under Chen Mo's confused gaze, the goalkeeper struggled directly with the defender, and at this time, their youth training coach also rushed over.
"Martinez! What are you doing! Let go!"
The scene was chaotic, but it was normal for boys to argue and fight, especially in sports like football and basketball, which are inherently competitive and cause hormones to explode.
"However, this guy has a pretty tough temper."
After taking a look at the little Argentinian goalkeeper who was pulled away and didn't have any friends to support him, but was still glaring at the opponents, a glimmer of appreciation flashed in Chen Mo's eyes.
A bad temper is actually a double-edged sword. Although it is easy to cause trouble, people with too weak personalities cannot eat football. Without the fearless spirit in their hearts, it is impossible to win in the competition of so many people.
However, since they didn't know each other, Chen Mo was naturally in a state of mind. At this moment, Bell's shouts of surprise also came from the other side of the venue.
It wasn't until they heard the shouts that a group of young people who had just been focused on the fight discovered Chen Mo's arrival, especially the goalkeeper named Martinez.
He was stunned for a moment after hearing the sound, and then immediately turned his head left and right to look for Chen Mo. When he found Chen Mo watching him from the sidelines, he was stunned.
He admires Chen Mo very much.
This is normal. After Chen Mo scored a hat trick in the World Cup final in 2006, Chen Mo became an idol in the hearts of the younger generation in Argentina. His status was higher than that of Lao Ma. After all, they had never experienced Lao Ma's era.
At this time, being watched by his idol, and he almost got into a fight with his teammates just now, Martinez's eyes widened, and he swallowed subconsciously. He didn't know where to put his hands hanging down, let alone say hello, and just watched blankly. Chen Mo trotted over to hug Bell and others.
Naturally, Chen Mo didn't pay much attention to the little fanboy behind him.
At this time, he was hugging Bastian Schweinsteiger enthusiastically.
Speaking of which, although they had many phone calls, Chen Mo had not seen Xiaozhu much since the 2006 World Cup. This time they met again after two years. Both of them were quite excited and chatted non-stop when they met.
There was relatively little talk about football. When Chen Mola and Xiaozhu joined the team, the two parties had actually exchanged football concepts for a long time. Strictly speaking, the two of them were still young, so both parties were very familiar with each other's football styles. There isn't much to talk about. Everything still needs to be slowly worked out in the subsequent training matches and actual combat to find problems.
We couldn't talk about football, so naturally we just talked about everyday things like getting used to staying in London during this period.
Not only Xiaozhu, Chen Mo also met Lewandowski, who replaced Giroud, and De Bruyne, who was hired from the Belgian league.
Not familiar with Lewandowski, Chen Mo didn't say much and just smiled and hugged him. However, when facing De Bruyne, the expressions on both Chen Mo and De Bruyne's faces were a little subtle.
The two had just faced each other in the Olympics, and De Bruyne was brutally beaten by Chen Mo in both the group stage and semi-finals.
To be honest, seeing Chen Mo again, De Bruyne felt a little shadowy in his heart. Moreover, he did not expect that Wenger would actually buy him to Arsenal.
This is Arsenal!
Arsenal who won three titles in four years!
What player wouldn't want to come to Arsenal? !
However, even though he has joined Arsenal, it does not mean that De Bruyne will be able to play at Arsenal immediately.
Arsenal's main midfielders this season are Chen Mo, Xiaozhu and Xiao Ma.
The three of them are all physically capable, and they are all in their early twenties.
It's hard to be their substitute. Besides, De Bruyne is only 17 years old now. He is not a monster like Chen Mo. It is difficult for this age group to adapt to the intensity of confrontation in the Premier League, especially the midfield area that needs to be strangled, so Wenger I plan to rent him out for leveling first.
In addition to Xiaozhu, Lewandowski and De Bruyne, Chen Mo also met right back Gianluca Zambrotta, who joined this summer.
Zambrotta is 31 this year, and full-backs at this age are already on the decline. However, a veteran has the advantage of being a veteran, that is, his mood swings and performance on the field are more stable, and Chiellini is also Italian. , he also debuted as a full-back in his early days.
Having Zambrotta as an example next to him is also more conducive to Chiellini's growth.
After hugging and greeting his old and new teammates, Chen Mo also saw Wenger, who handed a piece of information to his assistant and hurriedly returned to the sidelines.
Yes, in a hurry.
To be honest, Wenger is very busy this summer.
It’s not just transfer matters.
The English name of the Premier League coach is Manage, which is correctly translated as manager.
Manager basically means the manager of a team.
Of course, managers in the Premier League no longer have such great power. Most of them are actually coaches. However, there are two exceptions among all coaches in the Premier League.
They are Ferguson and Wenger respectively. They still exercise the great power of the previous Premier League managers.
So strictly speaking, Wenger is not only the head coach of Arsenal, but also the manager of the Arsenal club.
From recruiting and selling players to the first team, to building the youth training, to covering the players' basic necessities, to building the stadium, promoting sponsorship, and promoting the team, although there are leaders from various departments below, Wenger has to control all aspects.
In fact, things were fine in previous years. Xia Chuang was mainly responsible for signings and publicity for the new season. But this year, because Keli is about to acquire Arsenal, and Arsenal has won another Champions League, three Champions Leagues in four years, Moreover, the last two are defending champions, and the current Arsenal is directly dubbed the "Arsenal Dynasty" by the fans.
The reputation is better than before, and the boss has changed to a rich woman.
Under this situation, various sponsorship contracts, employee benefits, and even various office buildings and stadium facilities are undergoing some adjustments.
There are many things, but
From Wenger's wrinkled and stained sportswear, and Wenger's eyes that were as bright as when Arsenal won the Champions League, Chen Mo also roughly understood Wenger's current state.
It is a state where the body is very tired but the spirit is very excited.
It is a bit uncomfortable to have to train with the whole team in this state, but it is okay. Just like when signing Xiaozhu, Chen Mo carefully talked with Xiaozhu about the future team plan. Before signing Xiaozhu, Wenger I also chatted with Chen Mo on the phone for a long time.
Regarding the team's tactical thinking this season, Chen Mo actually knows no less than Wenger. Even because Wenger spends less time studying tactics and Chen Mo spends more time studying tactics, Chen Mo may have a better idea than Wenger in this regard.
Ever since, in the confused eyes of De Bruyne, Zambrotta and Lewandowski, Chen Mo directly asked Wenger to take a rest first, and he started training with the whole team like a coach.
Confused, watching Chen Mo whistle and start leading the team to run, De Bruyne and the other newcomers were confused, but the other old players, including Xiaozhu, were not too surprised. They just smiled and shook their heads and lamented the widespread rumors [ Chen Mo is half the coach of Arsenal] It was indeed not a rumor, and then he quickened his pace and followed Chen Mo.
This is indeed the case. Whether in Arsenal or Argentina, the coach sets the framework, and then Chen Mo adapts to the actual situation, and sometimes even directly changes the coach's tactical arrangements beyond recognition.
This kind of thing is uncommon, but not completely unprecedented.
Cruyff was actually the on-field coach of the Dutch team back then. Guardiola, who studied under Cruyff, was also known as Barcelona's on-field coach during his player days, and Chen Mo's football enlightenment came from Guardiola.
As a coach on the field, and as a coach with his teammates off the field, there is no big problem.
Normally, players like Chen Mo Di Maria who have just returned to the team are not suitable for training matches and are prone to injuries. However, they have not been idle before. They have been playing in the Olympics and their physical condition is very good. And tomorrow It's the first round of the Premier League. Not to mention how the run-in is going, at least we have to play training games together to feel the changes.
After running for a while, Chen Mo took his teammates to do some back and forth running. After warm-up such as obstacle runs, Wenger gathered the whole team together with his tactical board.
There is no doubt. Now it is time for Chen Mo and others to quickly become familiar with the environment. Wenger directly divides the main players and substitutes into two teams.
The main force here.
Striker: Bell, Henry, Di Maria.
Midfielder: Chen Mo, Xiaozhu, Xiao Ma.
Defenders: Marcelo, sister-in-law, Chiellini, Zambrotta.
Yes, Henry, who is already 33 this year, is still the starting center.
No way, Lewandowski is different from Xiaozhu. Although Xiaozhu only joined this year, Xiaozhu has played for Bayern for several years before, so it is easier to adapt to the intensity of the five major leagues. Lewandowski is only 20 this year, and he was only 20 years old before. Playing in the Polish league, it is impossible for him to start directly as soon as he comes up. He needs a period of adaptation period to slowly take over from Henry.
Lewandowski expressed his unconditional acceptance of this, while Henry put on a red vest and smiled and looked at Chen Mo with an expression of "You guys should let this guy grow up quickly, I want to go back to playing games".
This expression directly made Chen Mo feel depressed.
Henry's mind is no longer on football at all.
Understandable.
He has won three Champions Leagues and a World Cup, as well as various golden boots, the Golden Ball and the World Player of the Year. He is almost thirty-three, and his physical condition has declined significantly. He, Henry, is now truly desireless. Please, not to mention, live broadcasting World of Warcraft is also very interesting.
Yes, Henry is currently playing football while studying how to be a football commentator after retirement. At the same time, he is still doing live broadcasts of World of Warcraft.
He is now the largest World of Warcraft anchor in the MMC platform live broadcast area. He takes people to fight with Alliance dogs at the gate of Stormwind City every day.
However, although Henry's mind is no longer on football, after all, he will never fall down. His experience as a top forward for so many years is there, and the most important thing is
"This midfield lineup is perfect!"
Standing on the sidelines, when I once again saw Xiaozhu turn around and dodge two defensive players in the area slightly behind the left midfield, and then send a precise pass to Chen Mo, I had not slept for nearly 25 hours. Wenger's eyes widened unconsciously.
Yes, this lineup is perfect!
Rakitic's biggest problem is that his ability to hold the ball is not strong enough. Last season, Chen Mo often had to drop back frequently to help with the ball.
Chen Mo is a key player in connecting the midfield and the frontcourt. If Chen Mo retreats too much, the connection between the midfield and the frontcourt becomes more troublesome, and the offense can sometimes be easily overwhelmed.
But now there are piglets!
Xiaozhu's ball protection ability is very strong, and his passing ability is also strong. He is dragged in the area between Xiao Ma and Chen Mo, so Chen Mo doesn't have to retreat too much!
When Chen Mo doesn't need to retreat too much, Arsenal's overall formation can press higher and constantly put pressure on the opponent's goal. At this time, Henry can eat more directly in the penalty area!
Moreover, not only will the offensive end be smoother and more threatening, but the defensive end will be the same!
Strictly speaking, Xiaozhu is not B2B, but he is a winger after all. His running ability and coverage area are definitely not bad, and his confrontation is also strong, and Chen Mo's running confrontation is also strong!
The two of them plus Ma Ma, the three of them can directly turn the midfielder into a meat grinder!
It can be said that with the joining of Xiaozhu, the hardness of Arsenal's midfield is not much different from that of the combination of Vieira Essien and Chen Mo back then, and it is smoother and more threatening in terms of organization and offense!
"However, the intensity of the training matches is too low. Everything still depends on the actual performance in tomorrow's game against West Ham United."
Standing on the sidelines, Wenger was taking notes in a small notebook and thinking excitedly in his mind.
.
This year's Premier League is the most popular league in the world for fans.
The main reason is actually the rise of Manchester City.
There are only four Champions League seats in the Premier League, and the top teams in the Premier League include Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City.
Five top teams but only four Champions League places.
There is no doubt that the competition in the Premier League this year will be more fierce than any year in the entire history of the Premier League.
Chelsea, who have fallen out of the Champions League, must spend a lot of money to strengthen and regain the top four, otherwise Abramovich's money will be wasted, because it is difficult to attract top stars without a Champions League seat, and it is easy to enter a vicious cycle in the end.
Even this year, some Chelsea players are actually arguing about leaving the team. Ashley Cole ran to Manchester City because he did not play in the Champions League.
If Chelsea wants to squeeze into the top four, one of the top four must fall out.
Under the pressure of this elimination system of the top four, the major teams are attaching unprecedented importance to this year's league.
Arsenal's match day is on the last day of the first round. Previously, Liverpool had defeated Sunderland 1:0 away, Manchester City 4:2 Villa, Manchester United 2:1 Newcastle, and Chelsea 3:0 Portsmouth.
The other four teams won all, and the pressure came directly to Arsenal.
Although it is only the first round, according to the situation this year, not to mention 3 points, losing 1 more point is likely to cause problems!
In such an atmosphere of intense excitement and public expectation, time soon came to August 24, and Arsenal was about to go to an away game to challenge the "Hammer Gang" West Ham United.
There will be a big chapter later
