London has a relatively high latitude, and the temperature at the end of September basically hovers around 20 degrees.
The temperature is around 20 degrees, which is actually not bad, but Britain is an island country surrounded by sea, and the weather is often cloudy and rainy.
If you live in this kind of climate for a long time, it is no wonder that perverts like Jack the Ripper will appear. However, people's passion for football can wash away all this.
"The avengers who claim to be righteous are finally here. When everything is over, you will kneel down and beg for our forgiveness, but we will refuse. Your painful wails will be the best proof of our wild power!"
"Either surrender to Arsenal or be crushed by Arsenal!"
"Run, little aunt Liang! Run! Hahaha!"
"Cole! You will pay the price for your choice!"
"Haha, today's game is really full of excitement. I believe that the next games will definitely not disappoint our domestic audience friends. What do you think, Zhiyi?"
The drizzle was continuous and the crowd was loud. In the commentary box in the corner of the Emirates Stadium stands, Director Zhang Luzhang, who was wearing a suit and collar, looked at Fan Zhiyi next to him.
Hearing this question, Fan Zhiyi swung his headset, crossed his fingers in front of his belly, and smiled: "That's for sure. Strictly speaking, this game should be the most watched game in the first half of the Premier League this season. This is not just because Arsenal and Manchester City are the two top teams in football today. If I remember correctly, these two teams have not lost a game so far this season."
"You remember correctly, and not only have they not lost, they have not even given a draw to their previous opponents. It can be said that they are now the two strongest teams in the Premier League in absolute terms."
Zhang Lu added, and Fan Zhiyi nodded: "Yes, I will continue the topic just now. It is not just because they are both very strong, not only because the relationship between the players on both sides is also very good, but also because. Arsenal's style and Manchester City's style are completely opposite."
"That's right. Arsenal's style. Although many fans now say that Arsenal's style is not fixed. It mainly depends on how Chen Mo wants to play. But in fact, don't look at Arsenal squatting behind sometimes. Sometimes we are in front, but at the core we still have the same pass-and-run system.”
Having said this, Zhang Lu swallowed and continued: "What is the point of passing and running? It is nothing more than controlling the ball in the midfield, and then using more direct forward passes to create damage. And here is passing, running, passing, cutting and The difference in transmission and control.
For example, take Barcelona and Arsenal as examples. Under the passing and controlling system, Xavi Iniesta and others will only take the initiative to play the ball forward when they are 80% sure, trying to threaten the opponent's goal. But under the passing and running system, if there is a 50-60% certainty, Chen Mo will try to take risks and pass the ball forward.
Here is the crux of the matter. Only with 80% certainty will the ball be played forward, which means Barcelona has more possession of the ball and can keep the ball longer. What will this lead to? That is to say, the ball is always at their feet, which means there are fewer transitions of ball rights, and fewer transitions of ball ownership means fewer counterattacks.
This is a good thing for the physically weak Barcelona, who can use control instead of defense, but it is not a good thing for Arsenal.
Look at Arsenal, forward Berdi Maria Henry, midfielder Chen Mo, including Xiaozhu and the new Lewandowski are all players with strong impact. Their system can control the ball, but only when the opponent presses a little bit. , only when they are given a certain amount of space to sprint can they exert their strongest lethality.
This is why Chen Mo dared to kick the ball forward when he was 50% to 60% sure, because Arsenal is easier to defend against counterattacks than Barcelona, and they also need more depth space than Barcelona. When will there be depth space? In other words, when is the depth of space best? That's when the opponent counterattacks and rushes out! "
Zhang Lu was eloquent, and Fan Zhiyi nodded repeatedly: "What Director Zhang means is that Mourinho's Manchester City must be defensive in this game, needless to say, while Arsenal is going to defend against counterattacks. This is what he means." Bar?"
"Yes or no."
Zhang Lu shook her head slightly and said with a smile: "If it can be penetrated at one time, that would be the best. But if Chen Mo finds that he cannot penetrate Manchester City's defense at once, then the situation is likely to become Arsenal's attack failure. Manchester City counterattacked, and then Arsenal defended Manchester City's counterattack, and then used the formation loopholes in the entire line of Manchester City's counterattack to defeat Manchester City's counterattack!
But Mourinho can definitely think of what we can think of, so he will definitely find ways to prevent Arsenal's second attack. What will Manchester City do after preventing Arsenal's second attack?
Defensive counterattack!
But what Mourinho can think of, Wenger and Chen Mo also want to get it, so they will definitely defend Manchester City's second defensive counterattack, and then counterattack.
This is like a matryoshka. Therefore, I personally think that this game will probably not be purely about seeing how Chen Mo knocks Manchester City's turtle shell as netizens said. Instead, it will become an alternative and very intense one. The offensive battle.
Of course, this is just my personal guess. No one can say for sure. Maybe, Chen Mo wants to play more steadily at his home court? As long as Chen Mo wants to stabilize, this game will really turn into a broken turtle shell, hahaha, it's impossible to say, it's impossible to say. "
"Well, Director Zhang's insights are indeed very profound. I think it makes sense. Okay, now that the players from both sides have entered the court, let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides."
Zhang Lu complained directly to Fan Zhiyi. Fortunately, the players entered the field at this time, and he also started to name his names: "Manchester City's side is indeed the same as we speculated before the game. They are still the same as their previous rounds this season." All used 4231.
Striker: Ibrahimovic single arrow.
Attacking midfielder position: Robinho, Modric and Kaká.
Midfielder position: De Jong and Yaya Toure.
Defender line from left to right: Ashley Cole, Kolo Toure, Kompany and Clichy who transferred from Arsenal this summer.
This is a very solid lineup. "
Fan Zhiyi sighed with sighs, and Zhang Lu nodded and said: "Yes, this lineup has a very strong personnel configuration. However, I watched their previous games, and after the fight, they were basically not 4231.
During the defensive phase, Robinho and Ibrahimovic are double arrows, and then Modric and Kaká's positions will sink and be parallel to Yaya Tourejong in the defensive midfielder position, and the formation will change from 4231 to 442.
Generally, during the counterattack stage, Robinho will be pushed to the front line to form a double arrow with Ibrahimovic. At the same time, the entire left corridor is handed over to Ashley Cole to advance forward, and then De Jong is responsible for the defense on the left.
Manchester City's center is mainly dominated by Ibrahimovic, and then Yaya Toure finds opportunities to insert in the back row, or even advance with the ball himself, just like Vieira did when he was at Arsenal. At the same time, Modric will stay The relatively back area is responsible for organizing passes, and forms a midfield defense line with De Jong to prevent counterattacks.
The right midfielder, including the entire offensive organization on the right, is basically handed over to Kaká. Tsk tsk tsk, it’s really incredible. I don’t know if Arsenal can withstand Manchester City’s three-way offense and defense which basically have no weaknesses. "
"Yes, this game may be the most difficult game for Arsenal this season, but Arsenal has created many miracles, and I believe Arsenal fans will also believe in their team. Good Okay, now that the two sides have decided the right to kick off, let’s return the camera to the scene.”
.
It's not very pleasant on a rainy day, especially when the jersey sticks to your body and feels sticky and uncomfortable.
Putting his hands on his hips and stepping on the turf with his right foot, Chen Mo felt the silky smoothness of the turf today while looking at Modric and others opposite.
They are all old acquaintances. They have already said hello in the player tunnel before. Even Ibkaka Modric and the others have made an appointment to go to Chen Mo's house to eat barbecue together after the game, and give Yuechi Xun some supplements or something. .
However, they are good friends off the court, but on the court, they both know that these pretensions will not make each other soft, and will even make each other more excited to play.
and
"This guy doesn't just stay at home and come here to join in the fun."
Thinking of this, Chen Mo turned his head and glanced at the stands, his eyes a little painful. In the VIP area in the front row, there was a sexy young woman with platinum hair sitting in a low-cut red woolen dress.
Yes, Kelly.
Keli also came to the sidelines today, and came to the stands as a major shareholder.
To be honest, because Yue Chixun needs someone to take care of her after being pregnant, and is not suitable for a noisy and chaotic environment, during this period, even if Chen Mo is playing games, the two girls are just watching the games on the TV at home. Basically Won't come to the scene.
However, this game is very crucial. Not only are British stars such as Orlando Bloom, the elf prince who has just finished playing "Pirates of the Caribbean" and Emma, the "Harry Potter" actress, but also the royal family of the Mansour Group behind Manchester City. Come and watch the battle in person,
In this case, Keli could only leave Yuechi Xun to the nanny and Di Maria's wife, and come to support the scene in the rain.
Sensing Chen Mo's gaze, Keli raised a smile, but she didn't wave to Chen Mo as cheerfully and enthusiastically as she did in private. She just crossed her cold legs, took out the mineral water, and greeted the reporters as they frantically clicked the shutter. Many fans nearby gasped in exclamation.
Drinking water will naturally not cause excitement among reporters and fans.
but
What Keli drank was not ordinary mineral water, but Kona salt brine.
It’s only 3,000 yuan a bottle.
"This prodigal bitch"
"I have to punish her properly later."
Seeing this scene, Chen Mo's brows jumped. However, his attention was soon drawn back to the scene.
The game is about to begin.
Arsenal, wearing red and white jerseys, has the ball and attacks from left to right, while on the other side are the Manchester City generals wearing blue jerseys.
As the referee blew his whistle, Henry, who was still the starter in this game, knocked the ball directly back to Chen Mo.
No one pressed. After Henry served, no one from the Manchester City team came up to press Chen Mo. Even forward Ibrahimovic did not get close. Instead, the team retreated in an orderly manner.
Under Chen Mo's frowning gaze, Manchester City's formation changed to 442, and the formation was directly deployed in the thirty-meter area on their side!
The back line stepped one step inside the penalty area, DeJong Yaya Tourekaka's midfield line stood one step outside the top of the arc, and Ibrahimovic stood next to Mao Zedong, the midfielder.
"This is a bus."
There was a hint of "difficult" look in Chen Mo's eyes.
Manchester City's formation is a complete 442 defensive counterattack formation.
The two lines in the midfield and backfield are stationary, and Ibrahimovic does not retreat. In this way, as long as Manchester City steals the ball, they can directly find Ibrahimovic who has the ball in the frontcourt, and then the two wings and Yaya Toure in the center can advance forward at the same time.
no doubt.
Robinho, Yaya Toure and Kaka's three-way counterattack brought a fatal threat, and Ibrahimovic himself also has a certain ability to break through in one-on-one situations.
If the attack fails and Manchester City counterattacks, Arsenal will be very uncomfortable.
Of course, Manchester City retreated directly. Although they have strong counterattack ability, they have no offensive ability. Can Arsenal just reverse the attack?
However, this is Manchester City, or Mourinho's conspiracy.
I definitely want to play more aggressively at my home court, let’s not talk about that.
Mourinho's defensive counterattack has been criticized as "utilitarian football", but it has to be said that Mourinho's defensive counterattack is indeed stable in the league.
Because the more fierce the offense, the bigger the loopholes. Barcelona, Spain, and Arsenal have had many upsets, but teams like Mourinho who play defensive counterattacks rarely have upsets.
This is because defensive counterattack is completely rooted in defense, waiting for others to reveal loopholes, and you may not even attack when others do not show loopholes. So strictly speaking, Mourinho's defensive counterattack is more stable and effective in terms of "abuse" in the league than Arsenal, which plays offensive football.
The logic derived from this is that Arsenal can not take risks to kill Manchester City. The two sides will maintain a zero-to-zero score and each get one point. However, when Manchester City faces other teams, especially weak teams, it is better than Arsenal. Bian can score points more stably.
This is why Mourinho's team always spends money to buy a lot of big names, because Mourinho wants to ensure that his team can not only play defensive counterattacks, but also take the initiative when "abusing vegetables", and then Use the points obtained by "abusing the dish" to force the strong team to take the initiative to attack itself, so as to play more extreme and effective defensive counterattacks like now.
This is why many people ridicule Mourinho as "utilitarian football", because his logical chain is not purely for the purpose of winning the game, but for the purpose of winning the final total points at the end of the season.
"Only attack."
"But, do you think you can hold on?!"
Looking at the Manchester City generals not far away, Chen Mo's eyes flashed with a hint of seriousness and excitement. After passing the ball to Xiaozhu, he waved his hand and led the whole team directly on him.
