"If Chen Mo and Bastian Schweinsteiger don't come back, there will be big gaps on both sides of Arsenal's midfielder!"
In front of the TV, Mourinho said decisively.
There is nothing wrong with that. Chen Mo and Xiaozhu will create a lot of depth space for Arsenal when they are on top. But similarly, when the two of them are on top, the area between the central midfielder and the defensive midfielder can also be used by West Ham United!
This set of logic is not difficult to understand. In fact, there is no need to understand this set of logic at all, because the large space between Chen Mo, Xiaozhu and Xiao Ma is directly visible to the naked eye.
The pressure is on West Ham United.
Yes, seeing the loopholes in Arsenal's formation, the pressure came to West Ham United instead.
The reason is simple - who is going to get the ball in this area?
The winger moves in?
The reason why West Ham United is not a strong team is because the players' personal strength is not strong enough.
Their two wingers have speed, but their skills are not strong enough. If they move in, they will not only lose their speed advantage due to the denser defense in the middle, but they will also be easily intercepted.
If the wide midfielders cannot come in, then one of the 442 pairs of midfielders can only go up, but after going up, there will only be one midfielder left behind.
The risk is great!
Give it a try or wait for an opportunity to defend and counterattack? !
Normally speaking, when a weak team plays against a strong team, it must be stable and win the best, and a draw is also very acceptable.
But things are different now.
First, this is at West Ham United’s own home ground. Not to mention the advantage of booing at home, not many teams are willing to be beaten by the opponent at their home court. What's more, the biggest advantage of home court is that the whistle is more biased towards them!
Second, Arsenal has personnel changes this summer, and Chen Mo just returned to the team the day before yesterday!
Arsenal may not be that proficient in running in, and their tactics may not have been changed yet!
Arsenal's running-in level may not be up yet, and the whistle is looser on itself!
There was no hesitation. After seeing Chen Mo and Xiaozhu pushing up, the coach of West Ham United thought for a moment, and then immediately rushed to the sidelines, beckoning West Ham United's left midfielder to push up, and at the same time let the right-hand man with good passing ability The defender moves up to midfield.
Under the gaze of all the fans, West Ham United directly turned into 2143!
"These guys look down on Henry."
An upward push forced West Ham United's midfielder to pass the ball backwards. Chen Mo pushed his black hair that was soaked by the light rain behind his ears while constantly observing. When he discovered West Ham United's formation, he couldn't help but snicker.
He didn't go to see Henry, but he knew that Henry was definitely very unhappy now.
Chen Mo was right.
After seeing West Ham United's position, Henry's originally calm expression gradually turned serious.
West Ham United now have three at the back and four in midfield.
The advantage of this system on the defensive end is that although there are only three defenders, because the four midfielders are positioned in parallel, the two wide midfielders can also retreat to help defend Di Maria and Bale on the wing. But in the middle, Henry is the Let the central defender mark you one-on-one.
Bale and Di Maria were given special attention, but Henry was regarded as the most defensive soft persimmon.
West Ham United strengthened their midfield attack at the expense of relaxing their marking of Henry!
Can this be tolerated? !
Of course... I endured it.
Henry was not in a hurry, just waiting for the opportunity quietly.
He knew there was no point in being upset.
It can only be said that time is not forgiving.
Henry's strength is that he can maintain a strong impact while also possessing delicate foot skills, and the two are combined very well.
These are the two key pillars that support him standing on top of the world. No matter which one is missing, he is no longer a top player. At the age of thirty-three, he has completely lost his impact. All he can do now is rely on Years of experience and technical polish help teammates serve as a fulcrum in the frontcourt and grab points in front of the goal.
The key to achieving fulcrum and grabbing points is
It's up to Chen Mo and Xiaozhu to hold down West Ham United's offense and gain control of the midfield!
Yes, the key to the problem still lies in the midfield.
Henry understands this, Chen Mo Xiaozhu understands this, and West Ham United understands this even more!
Soon, with all the fans watching, West Ham United began to try more to attack the space behind Chen Mo and Xiaozhu.
The effect is not bad.
In the excited eyes of West Ham fans in the stands, West Ham United was really suppressed by Arsenal!
Yes, suppressed.
The main reason is that West Ham United was clearly prepared this time. The West Ham United midfielder, who was in the attacking midfielder position, kept swinging around in the area behind Chen Mo and Xiaozhu.
This kind of swing does not mean that if West Ham's midfielder goes behind Chen Mo, Chen Mo will retreat; if he goes behind Xiaozhu, Xiaozhu will retreat.
Midfield defense is basically zone defense, the key is to lock the passing route, and this guy keeps swinging left and right, the positions of Chen Mo and Xiaozhu also have to swing together accordingly.
This is a great test of the tacit understanding between Chen Mo and Xiaozhu. Although the two of them are young and understand each other's style, the time for running in is still too short.
However, Chen Mo dared to still use this relatively extreme tactic in this situation. He was naturally confident that he could establish a good relationship with Xiaozhu before West Ham United scored!
This is indeed the case.
As Wenger gradually relaxed his fists from the sidelines, although West Ham United still had the upper hand, as time went by, it became increasingly difficult for them to send the ball behind Chen Mo and Xiaozhu.
Yes, it can’t be sent!
This is one of the reasons to buy a piglet!
Piggy's confrontation ability and running ability are much stronger than Rakitic!
As the ground ball got hotter and hotter, he interacted more and more with Chen Mo. Xiaozhu, who was already very familiar with Chen Mo, began to quickly adapt to Chen Mo's rhythm and cooperated with Chen Mo to block the ground.
Both of them are midfielders with a large coverage area, strong running ability, confrontation ability, and interception ability. West Ham United has no way to send the ball from the ground to the frontcourt.
As for high-altitude balls, Arsenal's midfielder and backfield were previously afraid of high-altitude balls, but after the arrival of Little Pig, the problem is no longer a big problem!
Xiaozhu is only 1.8 meters, which is 40 meters shorter than Rakitic. But those who have seen the combination of Lukaku and Lautaro, one tall and one fast, should all know that the high-altitude ball requires not only height, but also height. There is still a confrontation!
If he can't jump you, just use your strength to squeeze into the landing point. You can still prevent high-altitude balls!
There was no way to get past the heights above ground, and Arsenal started to get better and better.
There is no doubt that as time passed, West Ham began to play more and more anxiously.
In the 19th minute of the game, when Chen Mo went up to press again and saw his teammates behind Xiaozhu who had gained space, the trailing left midfielder of West Ham United could not help but be tempted and directly passed the ball from high altitude to find it. West Ham right midfielder behind Piggy.
A high ball with the right foot and spin.
And when the ball with backspin flew past Chen Mo's left ear, and when he felt the force and rotation speed of the ball, Chen Mo's whole body tensed up.
"The opportunity has come!"
Without even looking at the ball flying backwards, Chen Mo immediately shook his head to observe West Ham United's position, looking for an opening to receive the ball!
Yes, before the ball fell, Chen Mo was already preparing to counterattack!
The reason is very simple. There is indeed an open space between Chen Mo, Xiaozhu and Xiao Ma. The space is not small, but Xiao Zhu can shrink back and Xiao Ma, who is in the lower back position, can push up!
Therefore, this space seems to have a lot of room for operation, but it is actually not as big as it seems.
The area really left for West Ham United to operate, under the pursuit and defense of Ma and Xiaozhu, the area where there is a chance to compete for the ball is very small.
And this is a great test of passing skills!
When you get older, you are in the area covered by Ma Ma. Against a tall guy like Ibrahimovic, who is over 1.9 meters tall and has great speed and strength, he can only stand with his legs spread out, waiting to be beaten. But in the Western Han Dynasty, Manchester United's midfielder is not that tall.
If it is too small, it will be intercepted in mid-air by the chasing Piggy. The Piggy's confrontation ability is very strong, and the air confrontation is completely worthy of the opponent.
And this ball just gave Chen Mo the feeling that it was too small!
It wasn't strong enough, and maybe in order to get the ball to land where I wanted, the ball also had backspin!
This ball will be intercepted by Piggy!
In the blink of an eye, everything flashed through Chen Mo's mind, and he immediately ran to the empty space on the right side of the center circle while the ball was still flying in the air.
"Oh! Beautiful long pass! Jason sent a very beautiful overhead long pass, and the ball flew in front of No. 8 Ebou! As long as Ebou gets the ball, he can contact the two forwards of West Ham United The winger!"
"Yes! But this goal is not only pursued by West Ham United's No. 8, Arsenal's No. 8 and Bastian Schweinsteiger are also chasing this goal! The two started a fierce chase in the midfield!"
"Damn, he's so strong!"
The commentator roared, and the fans in the audience instantly screamed.
Under the spotlight, on the 8th of West Ham United, the black brother Ebra ran all the way in the direction of the ball, but as soon as he started, he found that the little pig was sticking up from the left!
He Ebu is 1.86 meters tall, the same height as Chen Mo, and he is also a black midfielder known for his physical fitness and impact, while Xiaozhu is only 1.8 meters!
Normally, every inch is stronger, and at this height, Xiaozhu would suffer more in a confrontation. However, after just two running bodies confronting each other, Ebu was surprised to find that he could not squeeze away from Xiaozhu at all, and was even gradually beaten by Xiaozhu. The pig's right shoulder squeezes in front of him!
Black and white! European and American drama!
"Can't get the ball!"
Looking at the blond man who gradually squeezed to the left front of him, and at the same time slowed down and pushed himself with his back, leaving a path for the ball to fall, Ebb knew in his heart that this attack had failed, but he did not let go, but used his strength to push it Xiaozhu's back moved to the left at the same time to cut the ball path between Xiaozhu and Chen Mo!
The failure of one's own attack equals the opponent's opportunity to counterattack!
Understanding all this, Ebu has already begun to move his position in advance to prevent Xiaozhu from looking for Chen Mo after catching the ball!
A very correct choice. Seeing this scene, Chen Mo, who was running in the frontcourt, frowned and was ready to move sideways to create a passing route for Xiaozhu. But at this moment, under Chen Mo's gaze, Fei The ball, which had reached its highest point and started to fall, crossed Ebou's head and fell diagonally from the piggy's forehead. The next second, the ball did not bounce to the ground!
"Fuck! This foot feels so good!"
Chen Mo was too far away and had his back, so he couldn't see clearly what was going on, but Ebu, who was behind Xiaozhu, could clearly see everything. The moment the ball dropped to the height of Xiaozhu's knees, Xiaozhu stretched out his right foot. Remove it gently!
The soles of my feet vibrate!
The ball didn't vibrate!
Unloading the ball without rebound!
It was a very good unloading of the ball. Ebou was shocked in his heart, but he was not too surprised. Unless his basic skills in unloading the ball are too poor, he can basically unload the ball almost perfectly. He immediately pushed Xiaozhu's left shoulder with both hands, turned to the left and passed the ball to find Chen Mo's space on the back left, but in the next second, "Ward sent?!"
I can't feel any force feedback from my hands pushing towards Piggy's left shoulder!
Pushed empty!
The moment before Ebb pushed hard with both hands, the piggy's left shoulder with his left foot on the ground was completely relaxed and sent forward. At the same time, the right foot with the instep of the ball did not lead the ball to the ground immediately, but led the inertia of the football to the ground. Lift back and throw the ball at your heel!
The next second, while the power of Ebu's palms pressed against his left shoulder, Piggy's right foot had also landed. At this moment, Piggy used the force to turn to the right, and at the same time, his right shoulder sank back, without thinking at all. , the center of gravity is directly on the slightly bent right foot!
The left shoulder is pushed, and the right foot is used as the axis to turn to the right!
The moment after turning around, the ball that was parked on the heel of his right foot also turned to be facing the instep. Because of Ebu's running and the excessive force of his arms, he pushed the ball away, and rushed out of the piglet's left shoulder. When he thought When he turned around to chase after him, Xiaozhu had already started to move forward with the ball!
"Oh my God! What a move! Bastian Schweinsteiger got rid of Ebou!"
"Pig spinning! Oh my god! I don't know what Bayern's head coach Otmar would think when he sees the pig spinning on the wing that he has always criticized, and it can fully exert this effect after reaching the midfield!"
"Don't worry about that! Piggy is pushing the ball forward!!!"
The commentator roared, and Piggy's name echoed over the Boleyn Ground.
Yes, Piggy.
The surname Schweinsteiger is short for piggy in German.
And Otmar.
Otmar is the head coach of Bayern. He likes to put Xiaozhu in the full midfield position, but Xiaozhu is not strong enough to break through, so he always turns around and passes back halfway. Therefore, Otmar has been criticizing Xiaozhu at that time. Turning in circles is stupid.
This is actually one of the main reasons why Xiaozhu left Bayern.
but.
"It's all over now!"
Running wildly with the ball, the wind howled in his ears, and the sound of the wind was mixed with the crazy shouts of the Arsenal fans in the surrounding stands. Looking at the many passing routes in front of him, Xiaozhu just felt depressed. The long-awaited mood was finally released, and I ran wildly with the ball!
Yes, run all the way!
Although Ebou was passed by his little pig, it still caused a certain degree of interference to him. Therefore, when he completed his turn, Chen Mo was already stuck in the West Ham United left midfielder. However,
"This is what I want!"
Looking at Xiaozhu striding forward with the ball on the left rear and West Ham United's left midfielder in the front left, Chen Mo immediately looked back at the right back Gianluca Zambrotta!
eye contact!
Zambrotta is a thirty-one-year-old veteran. Even though he didn't have much time to get used to it, he understood Chen Mo's intention.
Without any hesitation, Zambrotta immediately cut in at high speed from the right!
The moment he crossed the center line, Chen Mo, who was in the right midfield, also immediately started to advance forward, rushing towards the right side of the West Ham United penalty area and towards the West Ham United left center back!
At the same time, at the moment when Chen Mo started, as if in a tacit understanding, right winger Di Maria, who had already retreated parallel to the opponent's midfielder position, suddenly cut in from the right behind West Ham United's left midfielder without the ball. , cutting inward without the ball to the top of the key!
Inverted L-shaped movement!
Seeing this scene, West Ham United's left midfielder and the left center back not far behind him went numb!
"Who will he follow?!"
Yes, confusion appeared in both of their hearts at the same time!
Normally, Di Maria is the left back and left midfielder in West Ham United's three-back system, but the left midfielder was attracted by Zambrotta's forward penetration. At this time, it was the left center back who defended Di Maria, but the problem is, Di Maria Maria is cutting the top of the arc, and the area at the top of the arc is the defensive area of the midfielder!
What if his left center back leaves his defensive area and moves inward with Di Maria to defend the top of the arc? At the same time, their left midfielder also makes the decision to release Chen Mo to rush towards his left center back and defend the top of the arc first. What should he do? ? !
This will cause an overlap in defensive movements!
The result of this overlapping movement is that Chen Mo will directly enter their penalty area without supervision!
No one knows what the other is going to do!
Confused!
Of course, if you can’t judge consciously, you can rely on yelling. The problem is.
There is no time to yell!
The judgment of the two people was confused at this moment. Chen Mo had already rushed to the left shoulder of the left midfielder, and Di Maria had already thrown away the left center back and cut to the top of the arc!
At this time, the left midfielder turned around to attack Chen Mo. He saw the left midfielder going to attack Chen Mo, but it was too late.
Although the overall rhythm in the top arena does not seem to be very fast, at the beginning of the attack, not to mention one or two seconds at night, even one and a half positions behind can determine the direction of the attack.
When the left midfielder turned around, Chen Mo had already rushed to the area parallel to his shoulder. Chen Mo was fast. Everyone knew that seeing this scene, the left center back completely lost the chance to defend Di Maria.
Facing two Chen Mo who kicked off the left midfielder, the left center back could only watch as Di Maria ran to the top of the arc, and Chen Mo also got the effect he wanted - one lead and two!
And the moment Di Maria got rid of the left central defender, Xiaozhu, who pushed the ball through the center circle, directly made a diagonal pass with his right foot and sent the ball to the front of Di Maria's incision route!
The amount of advance is very good, but not only is Di Maria moving, center Henry also moves to the left immediately, away from the central defender!
Numb.
Another numb one.
On the front left is Di Maria, who is flying toward the top of the arc in front of him. On the front right is the ball rolling towards him, and on the right is Henry, who is pulling away from him.
Go to the top to patch up Di Maria, or go to patch up Henry?
No choice.
As a central defender, although Henry is also a great threat to grab points at this time, he cannot move to the right to chase Henry and clear up the shooting path for Di Maria.
The West Ham United central defender who stepped on the line of the penalty area gritted his teeth and immediately went up and shoveled!
Very vicious!
He turned on his studs and put the shovel on, but two moments before his studs touched the ball, Di Maria, who rushed in on horseback, lightly touched the ball with his left foot in front of his sight, and then quickly collected it. He jumped on his feet with a pained expression on his face!
Not shoveled!
Pretend!
But this is not important. What is important is that the instep of his left foot hit the lower end of the ball. Amidst the exclamations of the fans in the audience, the ball flew over the waist of the West Ham United center defender who was making a tackle. To Henry, the next second, when the ball spun from his right waist to the height of his left knee, he saw the goalkeeper blocking the near post. Henry's eyes slightly glanced at the goalkeeper's head, and then he put his right foot on the ground. , his left foot met the falling ball and volleyed directly!
"boom!"
There was a bang, and under the watchful eyes of Chen Mo, who attracted two defensive players and rushed to the right side of the goal, Henry on the left directly hit the West Ham United goalkeeper with a powerful left-foot blast!
Powerful explosion with left foot!
The ball hit the upper left corner of the goal hard!
Very violent!
When the ball fell from the elongated net, when Henry laughed and stepped back towards the corner, while pointing his hands at Di Maria and Xiaozhu who sent the assists, the Boleyn Stadium reverberated with the shouts of the commentators and the madness of the Arsenal fans. roar!
The stadium was filled with excitement. The red Arsenal flag was flying in the stands. All the Arsenal fans cheered for Henry Di Maria, Piglet Chen Mo and others at the corner kick. On the sidelines, Wenger also pumped his fist in excitement. Big hugs with members of the coaching staff afterwards.
Everyone at Arsenal, including the fans, players and coaches, were very excited, but there was silence on the West Ham United side. Not only West Ham United, but also the tactical room of Manchester City was silent at this time.
"He found good help again."
Watching Chen Mo vigorously rubbing Piggy's blond hair on TV, sitting on the sofa, Ashley Cole's eyes were filled with helplessness. To be honest, the two most uncomfortable people in football today are Maicon and Ashley Cole.
Even speaking of it, Ashley Cole is even more uncomfortable.
He is a player from Arsenal's youth training, and he was also the prince of Arsenal.
But because he felt that Arsenal, which was in financial trouble, could no longer win top honors, he relied on private contacts with Mourinho to force Wenger to sell him to Chelsea at a low price to the more promising Chelsea.
But he never expected that under the leadership of Chen Mo, Arsenal built a dynasty of three championships in four years. Although he also won several league championships at Chelsea, the difference between the league championship and the Champions League championship was still very big.
I originally thought that joining the "Galaxy Battleship" Manchester City this year would have great hope of winning the Champions League, but I didn't expect that Arsenal would become stronger than before.
Uncomfortable, Ashley Cole was very uncomfortable, but unlike him, Kaka, Ibrahimovic, Magic Flute, Yaya Toure, and Kolo Toure next to him did not speak, but looked at the TV with eyes filled with emotion. The fire was flickering.
They are the real Avengers.
