The old horse's flying kick in the World Cup shocked the world, but the popularity of this matter did not last long.
It’s not that the fans don’t want to discuss it, or that the news media don’t want to continue to take advantage of it, it’s mainly because things like fighting harm the image of the World Cup. As a result, just two days after Lao Ma returned to the land of gods, news reports on this aspect were suppressed by FIFA.
The routine is almost the same, remove the hot search, and then guide the audience's attention to other events. Recently, apart from the old horse kicking De Jong, the most popular thing is that Argentina will meet Spain in the final.
The heat is very high.
Argentina has been the top favorite for the national team since the rise of Chen Mo. It won the World Cup in 2006, the America's Cup in 2007, and the Olympic championship in 2008.
Although the gold content of the Olympic men's football team was not high due to the age limit and the conflict with the Premier League schedule, Argentina at the time was leading the opponent by five or six goals in every game, and even won a victory by more than ten goals and twenty goals.
Strictly speaking, Argentina now has three consecutive major championships, and it is also the team that fans around the world think is most likely to win the World Cup again.
Argentina is strong, and so is Spain.
Since the 2007 European Cup, Spain has maintained its national team's unbeaten streak in 35 games.
Even if it weren't for the upset in the group stage, they would now be unbeaten in more than 40 games. But even 35 unbeaten games is still the highest record in the world. Only Brazil, 93-96, has the same result.
In the original timeline, Spain achieved three consecutive major tournaments from the European Cup to the World Cup and then to the European Cup, and this three-game series was more valuable than Argentina, which included the Olympic champion.
It can be said that if Argentina did not have Chen Mo, Spain would be the most dominant national team in world football in the past two decades. It is estimated that only France in 2018 could have a chance to compete with them.
The fans were naturally overjoyed when two historically strong teams collided, and the "grievances" between the two teams were clear to the fans.
Strictly speaking, there is no grudge.
It's mainly a matter between fans.
I won’t talk about Chen Mo being taken away by Laporta.
Mainly because in the past two years, many topics have focused on Chen Mo and Messi.
Some people think that Chen Mo is only one Messi away from winning the Champions League for three consecutive years.
Some people think that Messi will achieve nothing if he leaves the Habaib system.
Some people think that Chen Mo is just lucky. Habaibu was not in good shape during the two consecutive Champions League games.
Some people think that Habaib was lucky to meet Messi, the strongest forward at the time.
There are hundreds of people, all kinds of people.
Some people say everything, some people like Chen Mo, some people hate Chen Mo, some people like Messi, some people hate Messi, but there is no fan who doesn't expect Chen Mo and Messi to join forces and go to Spain.
The fans themselves are looking forward to it, plus FIFA is adding fuel to the fire.
Soon, few people in the world were discussing Lao Ma, and everyone was discussing the final battle between Argentina and Spain.
Lao Ma was very sad. For this reason, he called a few friends to go to the nightclub that night.
He couldn't play in the finals, and his usual tactical planning was not in a dominant position. Now that he was banned by FIFA, he completely let himself go.
Lao Ma was very good at playing, but Chen Mo didn't lead his teammates to strengthen training.
There are only four days between the semi-finals and the final, so there is no point in increasing training at this time.
As a veteran, Chen Mo understands very well that at this time, his teammates need to relax more than training.
There is a popular saying in football circles - the final is an unknown game.
Whether it is the Champions League, European Cup, America's Cup or World Cup, the finals of these key cup competitions are often not played very well.
Including the 2006 World Cup final in the original timeline, most people still don't remember the game scenes at that time. At most, they remember Zidane, who has nothing to do with football, headbutting Materazzi.
This is because the final is so important that players on both sides are very nervous, and nervousness is not just a state of mind, it will actually affect the physical state.
A very simple example.
For the subject two exam, things like reversing a car into a warehouse are all basic skills. It's no problem when you practice normally, but once you get to the exam room, the feeling is completely different, and some people even ejected directly to start.
These are all due to tension that prevents people from easily controlling their bodies, and the pressure difference between the World Cup finals and Subject 2 is huge.
Compared with training, Chen Mo feels that helping his teammates reduce stress at this time is actually more important.
On the third day after playing in the Netherlands, Chen Mo went shopping with Otamendi, Martin and Zavaleta, who were playing in the World Cup for the first time this year.
Go to the park, watch a movie, eat barbecue and chat together.
Outstanding effect.
At first, Chen Mo could clearly feel that some of them, especially Otamendi, were very nervous, but later on, they gradually relaxed.
In fact, the key to this game is not Otamendi.
Spain is indeed very strong, with strong passing and control, but they lack the sharp knife of Messi. Although they have been winning, the score of each victory is not big.
To describe it simply, the ball possession rate is extremely high, but the attack power is not high enough and it is difficult to break the defense. The main reason is to rely on the super high ball possession rate to wear down the game bit by bit.
Playing against Spain mainly depends on whether they can compete with Spain in terms of ball possession rate.
If the ball possession rate can be 50-50, Argentina will be stable in this game. If Spain can be suppressed in terms of ball possession rate, Chen Mo is even sure to turn this game into a tragedy.
The reason is simple. Spain's offense is based on a high ball possession rate. Similarly, Spain's defense is also based on a high ball possession rate.
What they are playing is a game of possession instead of defense, and once they lose possession of the ball, Spain will explode on both offense and defense.
In fact, this is why later teams like Japan stopped learning passing and controlling. Passing and controlling is a tactic that has a very large gap between the upper and lower limits and is very demanding on the players' personal abilities.
A typical example is.
Without Messi, Spain was in a dominant position and did not score, and basically never played a game with a large score difference. However, without Messi and without Habaib, they were directly beaten by the small days.
However, it is very, very difficult to break Spain's possession of the ball. Even if Argentina uses a midfield three of Pony Ma, Cambiaso and Chen Mo, there is a high probability that they will not get the ball against Habaib.
At this time, the pressing of the forward players is very critical.
Controlling the ball is not purely about the midfielder. Only by connecting the midfielder and the defender to provide enough depth can effective ball control be achieved.
This is why Guardiola would rather agree to Wenger's conditions for buying Yaya Toure, but also want to poach Pony Ma.
Because Ma is a former midfielder, his ball-playing ability is better than most central defenders and defensive midfielders who mainly focus on defensive skills.
This logic is the same in reverse.
If Argentina wants to get the ball, Messi and other forward players must constantly press the Spanish back line, let the Spanish back line pass the ball to the midfield, and then Chen Mo, Xiao Ma, and the others will press Habaib.
Only when Spain's back line and midfield are unable to easily get the ball, and when the football is like a hot potato at Spain's feet, can Argentina gain possession of the ball.
Chen Mo understands these principles. Di Maria, who has worked with Barcelona for several years, understands it. Messi, who grew up in Barcelona, understands it. Other teammates with Spain as their ultimate opponent also understand it.
It can be said that since Spain won the European Cup in 2008, the entire Argentine team has been studying Spain.
However, a group of people were still chattering about tactical cooperation from the moment they entered the cinema.
The sound was a bit loud, but fortunately Boss Chen reserved the movie theater this time, so it wouldn't affect other people.
.
The entire team in Argentina is relaxing, but the outside world is a completely different scene.
The World Cup final is a super event that takes place every four years, and the opponents in this World Cup final are so unpredictable. As the match day gets closer, countless celebrities and big names flock to Johannesburg to see this unprecedented spectacle.
The whole city is buzzing with "waka waka eh eh eh" every day, and tourists from all over the world come here in droves.
Carnival, the full name is Carnival.
In such an exciting atmosphere, the time came to July 11th.
Amid waves of cheers from fans on both sides of the road, Chen Mo took the blue and white bus and followed the team to the Football City Stadium, which can accommodate 100,000 people.
The atmosphere of the finals was completely different from that of the semi-finals. In the player tunnel, Chen Mo even met Jay Chou, the singer of Dragon Kingdom.
Of course, it's not a chance encounter.
Mainly, Jay Chou is also an artist under Nike, and Chen Mo is also an artist under Nike. Nike executives hope to use this opportunity to create a wave of popularity for Jay Chou internationally.
Didn't refuse.
Chen Mo actually also likes listening to Jay Chou's songs.
In other words, Chen Mo didn't know Jay Chou at first. After all, he spent most of his time in the UK and rarely listened to Chinese songs. The main reason was that Yue Chixun always played nocturnes and Qilixiang when he was coding. Later, he gradually listened to Chinese songs. Liked it.
I really admired it, and with Nike taking the lead, Chen Mo and Jay Chou finally took a group photo, and Jay Chou also gave Chen Mo a signed and collected version of the "Cross Era" album.
Chen Mo didn't have any desire to chase stars, so he changed hands and gave the album to his eldest daughter Chen Lin, who is two years old this year.
I don’t know who Chen Lin looks like. She likes handsome guys very much. Looking at the white-haired profile of Jay Chou on the album, she hugged the album in her arms. However, when Chen Mo told her that the uncle in front of her was the person in the photo, she was photographed by the artist. Chen Lin, who was shocked by the difference in appearance from reality, was stunned for a moment. She held the album blankly with her chubby little hands, looking at the handsome man on the cover and then at Jay Chou's somewhat square face.
A small episode, in addition to Jay Chou, Chen Mo also met Kobe Bryant, whom he had met before.
To be honest, the relationship between the two is not too deep. The last time they met was a few years ago when Nike wanted him to go to the NBA to watch the finals. The most they could do was give him a like on Mmc.
However, after losing to Barcelona again this year, Kobe immediately posted a message on MMC to support Chen Mo.
Overall, the two have been close friends for a long time.
After chatting for a while, without talking much, Chen Mo said goodbye to his wife, children, and Jay Chou and headed to the press conference.
There is no way. Normally, this kind of thing is handled by the head coach Lao Ma, and Chen Mo is too lazy to do it, but Lao Ma is now sealed, and Messi, who wears No. 10, is a dull gourd.
So, amid the excited cheers of countless reporters, Chen Mo and his assistant coach sat on the stage of the press conference.
Chen Mo rarely gives interviews. In the past three years, except for two interviews when he lost to Barcelona in the Champions League, he was basically unable to find anyone at other times.
Many paparazzi also tried to secretly take photos at Chen Mo's residence in London, but as soon as they entered the street, they were chased away by an old British lady and grandfather with a shotgun.
He is rarely interviewed, and every time he was interviewed in the past, big news would be revealed, such as "Give me five years, Arsenal will be a giant".
Under such circumstances, Chen Mo was willing to attend the press conference. The reporters were very excited and asked questions one after another eager to find out the color of Chen Mo's pants.
However, Chen Mo is no longer the 20-year-old boy he was back then, and he is no longer the middle-class boy who shouted "Europe, your king is back" like he did a few years ago.
Basically, I just casually responded to reporters’ questions.
Seeing that they were still unable to dig out any important information from Chen Mo, the reporters' topic returned to the game itself.
There’s nothing to ask, it’s mainly about tactics, starting lineup and the like.
It was naturally impossible to tell reporters these things, and Chen Mo was still talking nonsense.
In the end, under the resentful looks of the reporters saying "Gouzi, you have changed", Chen Mo left the press conference without saying anything.
.
The timing of the World Cup is not very friendly to Asian fans.
The final starts at 8pm in South Africa, but at 2am in Dragon Country.
However, these problems are not big.
"This game is a battle of proof between Chen Mo and Messi, Viagra, who do you think can win?"
Qianhu City, a small rental house in the old town.
A group of old men were nesting in a small room. There were various braised vegetables and barbecues on the small square table, and a few empty beer cans were thrown on the floor.
After hearing what his friend said, his cheeks turned red, and Weiwei, who had become completely fat, sucked in the cold air and smiled: "Holy crap, this duck neck is so spicy. That must be Argentina, who dares to be able to withstand Chen Mo and Messi?" Together, I estimate that Argentina will score three goals in this game!"
"Is it true, do you trust Argentina? Come on, let's go."
The friend also drank until his face turned red. A fat man squeezing chicken feet next to him laughed and said, "You are not joking if you ask Viagra if Argentina can win. He has been a die-hard fan of Argentina since 2006. I still remember it now. He was half-pooing and ran out to watch the game while holding a book of Buddha and the Way."
"Hahaha, speaking of it, it's been many years."
"Yes, it has been three or four years since I graduated from college, but the World Cup can bring the old guys together again."
"It's not easy to make money if you dare. By the way, you're a bitch. My landlord B told me a few days ago that the rent will be raised again."
"Still going up? Let him die, that's my word."
My friend was chattering in my ears and looking at the TV screen. The fat and drunk Viagra's eyes were a little erratic. He was about to light a cigarette to put it away and reminisce about his youth. At this time, the friends next to him, including the barbecue stall downstairs, were all It boiled all of a sudden.
"Come on, come on! Come on!"
"Come on Argentina!"
"Second World Cup!"
