The Premier League is the most profitable football league in the world. Even La Liga and Serie A cannot compare, but...
This is actually not something to be proud of. Some people like to imagine themselves as part of the grand narrative, but in fact, ordinary people are often just paving the way in the background of the grand narrative.
People need to eat to have strength. Chickens, ducks, pigs, cows and rice are the fuel for human beings, and for a big capital machine like the Premier League, the fuel is the players.
The faster the machine goes, the more fuel it requires.
December is the winter break for La Liga, France, Serie A and the Bundesliga, but for the Premier League, which has a very high level of commercialization, December is the most intensive stage of the schedule.
Throughout December, Arsenal have nine games.
On average, one game lasts three and a half days.
This schedule is very scary, even more intensive than the World Cup schedule.
Fortunately, other leagues are on holiday in December. For Arsenal, except for the sixth round match against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League group stage and the Club World Cup in Japan at the end of December, all other games are in the UK.
It was indeed a little easier for Chen Mo to not have to fly everywhere, but it was not too easy.
Mainly, according to the schedule, if he encounters a schedule with two consecutive away games, he will not be able to return home for more than a week.
Being unable to go home for more than a week was very torture for Chen Mo, who had just become a father. At this time, the role of having a good wife came to the fore.
Knowing that Chen Mo missed the child, Yue Chixun and Keli held the baby in their arms and pushed one in the stroller when they were playing away games. Then they took the nanny and bodyguard to the city where Chen Mo played football or directly watched the game, or went to the city where Chen Mo played football. Go shopping and wait for Chen Mo to get off work.
On December 13th, Arsenal, who had just defeated Aston Villa in the away game two days ago, came to Liverpool to face the Red Army Liverpool.
Liverpool is a traditional powerhouse in the Premier League, but their situation has been somewhat ups and downs this year.
First, they sold Crouch and introduced Giroud. Giroud is indeed very suitable for Liverpool's lineup and tactical system, but the problem is that Alonso was poached by Real Madrid.
Alonso is to Liverpool what Kroos is to Real Madrid and Piggy is to Arsenal.
This kind of player is a typical player who cannot play as a single defensive midfielder, nor can he be the absolute core of the midfield, but he can provide midfield stiffness, take over the front and backcourt, and take into account both ball production and organization.
When Alonso was at Liverpool, he could form a defensive midfielder with Gerrard during the defensive phase. During the offensive phase, he could allow Gerrard to boldly push forward. At the same time, he could also keep France in front without having to drop too deep to get the ball. ball.
He is not the most obvious, but very crucial link in the Liverpool machine.
Without Alonso, the dominance of Liverpool's midfielder on both offense and defense has dropped a lot, and Arsenal's strongest point is the midfielder.
If the midfielder is held down, the forwards will not be supported, and the backline will also face greater pressure.
There is no suspense. From the beginning of this game, Liverpool was beaten by Arsenal.
This is not only because of Liverpool's staffing, but also because of this game, Keli and Yuechi Xun held their babies and watched the game in a relatively quiet VIP box.
Chen Mo has long been used to being watched by two girls, but playing in front of his son and daughter, even if he knows that the baby can't understand it and will forget it in the future, Chen Mo's performance in this game is still better than in other games. Be a lot more excited!
Chen Mo was excited, but the most uncomfortable part was naturally the Liverpool side.
At the 13th minute of the first half, Chen Mo pedaled a bicycle 27 meters away from the left midfield and swung Gerrard to the right.
Twenty-seven meters, a very long distance, Liverpool's midfielder did not hit the top, but immediately blocked Chen Mo's advancing defense line, but after getting past Gerrard, Chen Mo directly stepped forward and volleyed!
Powerful volley with the right foot!
The ball was very, very fast, and it was shot very suddenly. Before the Liverpool goalkeeper could realize what was happening, the ball had already entered the net!
Not to mention the goalkeeper, the Liverpool fans at the scene were a little confused.
Approaching the area of 30 meters, pedaling a bicycle to shake Gerrard away, and then shooting? ? ?
Chen Mo has strong long-range shooting ability. The current ball speed record in football is the "cannon" kicked by Chen Mo in the Champions League final last year with a maximum speed of 231 kilometers per hour!
But Chen Mo rarely shoots from a distance of about thirty meters when there is an absolute chance, let alone such a long-range shot after forcing one-on-one!
All the fans were stunned!
Xiaofa and Giroud were also shocked!
But when they saw Chen Mo rush to the corner kick and blow a kiss to the VIP box after scoring the goal, they understood the reason in their hearts.
but
This animal.
Looking at the ball falling in the goal, Xiaofa and Giroud still felt helpless.
This ball can't be defended at all.
Liverpool had already defended Chen Mo one-on-one in the 30-meter area. It was Gerrard who defended him, but Gerrard couldn't defend Chen Mo one-on-one.
It's okay if he can't guard Chen Mo. After all, he is in the 30-meter area. Even if Chen Mo breaks through, someone will cover his position. But after Chen Mo breaks through, he shoots directly. What's going on?
Little Fajilu shook his head, but Chen Mo didn't bother them. At this time, he was immersed in the joy of "Look at daddy's dick."
Chen Mo blew a kiss with pride on the court, while in the VIP box, Keli and Yuechi Xun smiled at each other as they looked at the sleeping baby in their arms.
The baby was sleeping soundly, but Liverpool were still suffering on the field.
Liverpool's midfielder was not good this season, but Chen Mo performed exceptionally. At the end of the first half, Liverpool were beaten 2-0.
The midfielder couldn't get through. After the start of the second half, Liverpool began to try to bypass the midfielder and go straight down the two wings to find Giroud.
There is no problem with the idea. Giroud does have a height advantage, but in the 63rd minute of the second half, amid the cheers of all the fans, including Liverpool fans, Wenger replaced Henry and Ronaldo. Due to the intensive schedule, this time Bale and Lewandowski were a little tired at the time!
In an instant, the whole place was completely boiling!
Henry, Ronaldo, Di Maria.
Schweinsteiger, Chen Mo
——Brother Ma————
Marcelo, Chiellini, sister-in-law, Gianluca Zambrotta!
Regardless of age, this is an invincible striker!
Henry and Ronaldo's cooperation!
Behind him stood Chen Mo, the number one midfielder at the time!
Now let alone Arsenal fans who are excited and looking forward to it, even Liverpool fans are starting to look forward to it!
The development of things did not live up to their expectations.
Although Henry and Ronaldo are older and have various injuries, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and Wenger controls their playing time to about 30 minutes!
He didn't play for a long time, and he wasn't originally a starter, so he didn't need to save energy for subsequent games!
There is no doubt that Henry and Ronaldo, the two top players, have declined in physical condition, but their consciousness is stronger than when they were young. The forward partner, coupled with Chen Mo's go-between, directly caused trouble for Liverpool's defense.
In the 73rd minute of the game, left back Marcelo moved up to the left winger position. Left winger Henry retreated from the ribs to the left midfielder position. As soon as he retreated, Chen Mo, who was in the right midfield, directly kicked the ball through. Then he forced Xiaofa to push forward without the ball.
Marcelo - Ronaldo - Di Maria
——Henry————
—Little Pig————Chen Mo.
The moment Chen Mo moved forward, Henry turned his back and knocked the ball horizontally in the direction of Chen Mo's forward move, and then turned around and moved forward as well. At the same time, Ronaldo dropped from the forward position!
Henry pushed forward, Ronaldo sank, and the Liverpool central defender was numb!
If he pushes it out, Henry will have a chance. If he doesn't push it out, Ronaldo will get the ball at the top of the arc!
Ronaldo has a long shot, and Chen Mo is also pushing forward!
In the blink of an eye, the three people's crazy vertical pull directly tore Liverpool's defense line apart. At this time, Chen Mo had also received Henry's horizontal knock and dribbled the ball straight to the left side of the Liverpool penalty area and straight to the Liverpool left center back!
Chen Mo's footwork is not as good as that of Messi, but he is also the best among the best. When he does not take long strides, no central defender will try to steal the ball in a one-on-one situation.
The left center back could only step back with his hands behind his back, trying to block Chen Mo's shooting route.
The idea is correct, but as he retreats, Liverpool's entire defense can only retreat, otherwise Chen Mo will be able to hit the space behind other defenders with a diagonal kick, and he will not be offside!
In this case, Henry can easily grab the goal in front of the goal!
Liverpool's back line can only retreat across the board, but the problem is that the defense consists of two lines: the back and the midfielder.
The back line retreated too quickly, which directly caused the space between them and the midfielder area to widen!
There was a brief vacuum near the penalty spot!
And at the moment when Chen Mo caught the free throw spot, Ronaldo, wearing jersey No. 99, also appeared in his field of vision.
Ronaldo was empty at the penalty spot!
Without any hesitation, Chen Mo rushed to the right side of the goal and directly hit back in an inverted triangle. The next second, Ronaldo met the ball and pushed it into the lower left corner of the goal. The goalkeeper was unable to make a save and could only watch the ball go into the goal!
Three to zero!
Gave Liverpool a 3-0 victory at Anfield!
It was painful for the Liverpool fans at the scene, but not that painful.
The home team did lose, but the cooperation between Henry, Ronaldo and Chen Mo was so good!
Moving clouds and flowing water!
It’s very enjoyable to watch!
Even some Liverpool fans felt pity when they saw Ronaldo celebrating with Chen Mo at the corner kick.
It's a pity that Ronaldo and Henry have passed their prime. Otherwise, with these two top forwards and Chen Mo, the offense would definitely be better!
However, this is just wishful thinking.
Not to mention that time cannot be turned back, but it really can be turned back.
Henry Daluo and Chen Mo were actually unable to coexist at their peak.
If you look at the first phase of Real Madrid's Galacticos, you will know that football is not just a matter of stacking superstars to achieve good results, but also requires adaptability.
Henry is not a pie-eating forward. He likes to drop back to get the ball, and then dribble the ball forward himself. This is why many of Henry's highlights are one-stop from the wing or the center.
Although Ronaldo has top-notch sense of smell and shooting skills in front of the goal, when he was young, he was also the kind of forward who liked to dribble the ball at his feet and then pass the ball by himself.
Although Chen Mo can play without the ball, only when the ball is at his feet can a midfield core like him with his own system work best.
Three big players in possession of the ball.
If they meet at their peak, the final outcome is likely to be "a pile of shit when we get together, and a sky full of stars when we part ways".
But it's different now. Ronaldinho and Henry are already at the end of their careers. Whether it's a decline in physical condition, a more mature mentality, or a deeper understanding of the game, they have become more aware of their position in the team.
They will no longer ask for too much ball rights, and at the same time, they have indeed retained a large part of their strength. In this kind of game that only plays for 30 minutes, they can often even break out the abilities of their youth again, and have the More mature offensive ideas.
The goal just now is the most typical example. The offensive awareness of the three completely overwhelmed Liverpool's defense. Everyone's movement was just right, and everyone's passes could be thought of together with the opponent!
This feels great!
After scoring the goal, both Ronaldo and Henry were beaming with joy, and their performance had just begun.
Football depends on your condition. Sometimes you feel good playing, but that's how you play. The more you play, the braver you become.
After Ronaldo's goal changed the score to 3-0, Henry and Ronaldo began to play more and more relaxed, and at the same time, their offensive aggressiveness became stronger and stronger.
In the 83rd minute of the game, when Xiaozhu pressed forward on the left side and pulled out Liverpool's midfielder, Ronaldo retreated to fill the position of Liverpool's midfielder. When he retreated, Chen Mo penetrated the crotch from the right side. The ball also came to Ronaldo's feet.
One-on-one challenge to the central defender at the top of the arc!
Amidst the exclamations of the fans in the audience, Ronaldo, who was so excited that he was excited, directly used his trademark big pendulum to shake the central defender and entered the penalty area. Then, when the goalkeeper fell to the ground, he first lowered his shoulders to the left, and at the same time dropped his right hand. Gently tap the ball sideways with your foot.
Change direction!
The goalkeeper was stunned!
Ronaldo's iconic goalkeeper!
At the moment when the Arsenal fans behind the goal jumped with their heads in their hands, Ronaldo, who was almost reaching the baseline, did not shoot the ball himself. Instead, he knocked the ball directly to the goal with his right foot. The next second, Henry rushed to the goal and scored. .
tease!
Liverpool goalkeeper Reina was directly teased!
But Reina, who was kneeling on the ground and spreading his hands, had nothing to say. He could only watch the laughing Henry, Ronaldo and Chen Mo shoulder to shoulder as they rushed to the corner.
There is no doubt that when Chen Mo and three others rushed to the corner kick, the photographer on the sidelines also pressed the shutter frantically. This is a historic picture!
Liverpool were beaten 4-0 in an away game, and coupled with the photo of Chen Mo and Ronaldo and Henry side by side, there was no suspense. After the game, fans all over the world were excited.
Some people cherished their youth and sighed that they could still see such a high-spirited scene of Da Luo.
Someone directly climaxed and declared that the three of them were the strongest combination in history.
Of course, some people lament that Liverpool has begun to fall behind.
There are different voices on the Internet every day, but Chen Mo doesn't pay much attention to this aspect.
No way, the schedule is too full.
On the third day after playing for Liverpool, Chen Mo went with the team to Middlesbrough, a city in northeastern England, to play against Middlesbrough away from home.
Fortunately, with the introduction of Vieira, Ronaldo and others in the winter window, Arsenal's bench has become much deeper. After 2-0 in the first half, Chen Mo, Di Maria and Mao Zedong were eliminated one after another. De Bruyne, Volkert and Vieira were replaced.
The physical and mental pressure is not as great as before, and the atmosphere of the entire team has gradually become more harmonious.
In this time of constant competition every day, the day came to December 24th.
As the last Champions League champion, Arsenal is about to go to Japan again to play in the Club World Cup. This is also the first time that Wolji Kaoru has returned to Japan after giving birth to a child.
