Chapter 165: Top Confrontation, Top Vision!
Henry
Looking at the man with a gentle smile on his face in front of him, Chen Mo was slightly stunned, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile and stretched out his right hand: "Hello, Mr. Henry, I'm Chen Mo." β
"Haha, you don't need to introduce yourself, Mr. Wenger sent a copy of your profile to everyone in the offseason, we all know you, super talent." Henry laughed and shook hands with Chen Mo, then looked at Giroud and winked: "It's you, little one, I've never heard your name before." β
Giroud couldn't answer this, and lowered his head in embarrassment, at which time Henry put his arms around his neck and laughed: "Hahaha! Don't worry too much, little one, this will be your new home! β
never expected that he would be favored by Henry's level, Giroud was in a trance for a while.
"Is this the atmosphere of an undefeated team that wins the championship" Chen Mo shook his head with a smile on the side, although he had heard Wenger say that the atmosphere in the Arsenal team was very good before he came, but now he saw it with his own eyes, it was still somewhat amazing.
Just then, a cold voice cut into the cochlea.
"Henry, what are you still talking about, why don't you come to warm up and train!"
His voice was as cold as a knife, and when he turned his head to look, he saw a white man with short blond hair looking at this side with a serious face written on his face.
Bergkamp
In a very serious voice, Chen Mo subconsciously raised his head, and Henry trotted with a smile: "Let's go, little guys, start warming up." β
Following Henry, he trotted to the center of the court, passing in front of Bergkamp, his eyes were cold, and Chen Mo even felt as if he had been scraped by a skate blade.
.
Warm-up training is always those old routines, a few people grab the circle to pass, and there is a pair or no partner chatting.
Chen Mo and Giroud didn't talk much at first, after all, they were newcomers to a new environment, and they were not familiar with the place, but fortunately, Henry was very enthusiastic, and under his introduction, the two of them greeted Vieira, Pire, and Essien, who arrived early, and everyone was very enthusiastic.
However, compared to Henry's enthusiasm, Bergkamp's cold seriousness, as the captain of Arsenal, Vieira, who has always been known for his iron blood on the field, seems more calm, standing there like a big black mountain.
As for the African Joey Yung Esin on the side, he is honest and serious about practicing.
Soon, the silver-haired Arsene Wenger, dressed in his training uniform, walked onto the pitch.
The players stood in a row, he glanced at the players who had already warmed up, and nodded with a smile: "Welcome back, how was the offseason?" β
"Great head! My daughter loves the trophy of the Premier League champion! β
"Hahaha, a perfect season!"
"We want to complete the grand deed!"
"Win the Champions League and complete your revenge on Chelsea!"
Unbeaten last season, the off-season was naturally very stressful, and the players were very excited on their faces, Wenger took out the tactical board and smiled gently: "Very good, keep this fighting spirit." Without further ado, let's have a group training match, and I will go to the red vest by name. Fowler, Juroud, Swade, Essing, Giroud, Chen Mo, Henry"
Hearing Wenger finish reading the team list, Chen Mo secretly clenched his fists, and his eyes instantly ignited fighting spirit, except for the absence of Henry and the right forward Ljungberg who was just sent away more than a month ago, the blue team is directly the undefeated Arsenal last season!
And his red team is either a newcomer or a substitute, only Henry is the core player, and the midfield trio is to let him rush forward, Essien and another defensive midfielder lag behind!
"Do you want others to see what I'm capable of? Come on! β
.
The canteen aunt who takes out the garbage, the old man who sweeps the fallen leaves, and some idle youth coaches.
In the first team training match of the new season, many Arsenal staff stopped to watch by the barbed wire, and even some boring management in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the club building cast their eyes, and the focus of their attention was undoubtedly Chen Mo, who the team spent a lot of money on this summer and was brought from Barcelona by the coach himself!
Parallel imports, or crown princes?
Feeling the various stares from outside the field, Chen Mo ignored it, just stood near the center circle and moved his waist while observing the formation of the two sides.
The red team looks like a two-back 433 formation, he Chen Mo is at the front of the three midfield, but in fact, Essien's position is a little more to the left, and from a bird's eye view, it is actually more like letting the defensive ability is still good Squatting back Fowler play a single midfield, left winger Henry, the central striker position is Bridgehead Giroud, and the right winger is Lupoli, who only got one chance to play last season.
The BLU team was unbeaten last season in 442, with four top defenders, midfielders Patrick Vieira, Lauren, Pire and Gilberto, Bergkamp at the right centre, and Alia Diere at the left.
Except for Gilberto and Aliadiere, all the other members of this squad were the main core of last season!
"This very different squad configuration is not so much a test as Mr Wenger wants to give the new little guys a disadvantage."
"I hope these little ones don't leave a psychological shadow."
The staff watching the game from the sidelines chattered, and at this time, as the assistant coach blew the whistle, the game began.
Seeing this, the blue team's left center forward Aliadère retreated to grab it, and he understood very well what it meant for Wenger to make his 21-year-old partner 35 years old and his running ability greatly reduced.
Out of the corner of his eye, he swept to the diagonal back and ran to Alia Diere, Chen Mo rarely did not give the ball to his teammates at the first time, he seemed to hesitate for a moment, did not pass the ball but moved his feet quickly, and blocked the opponent's upward line with his back.
"Chance!"
"Try the Premier League pressing!"
At this position, the ball can be passed to the side to play a counterattack for Pire, Alia Diere was overjoyed, and immediately grabbed and squeezed, but when he pushed Chen Mo behind him with inertia, Chen Mo supported the ground with both feet, his knees bent slightly, and the whole person leaned back, and in the next second, Alia Diere was directly overturned to the ground, and Chen Mo was not even hit and tilted forward and shook!
"Wardfa?! What a monster physique this is! β
Aliadelle is not tall, only 1.83 meters, and his weight is only one hundred and forty pounds, but this time he rushed up to the top, and the audience on the sidelines was stunned, and at this moment, with the help of Alia Diere's motivation to go to the top, Chen Mo went directly to the ball!
With vigorous strides!
"What a strong physical confrontation, such a keen observation!"
On the sidelines, the assistant coach was dumbfounded, 442, it seems to be four midfielders, but most of the time the two fullbacks will pull the side, only when targeting a super player, the two fullbacks will shrink to form a diamond-shaped position in the midfield, and use the space to block, and at this time, the main Arsenal force obviously focuses on Henry on the left side, and there are only two players in the midfield, Vieira and Lauren,
"Don't think about it!"
Chen Mo's opening blitz caught the blue team off guard, Vieira went up to the top for the first time, rushed towards Chen Mo, stared at the ball with his eyes, and tried to strangle Chen Mo in the midfield.
Looking at Vieira at the top, he took a big stride, and Chen Mo, who took two steps and one trip to the ball, immediately adjusted his pace, "Bang-bang-bang-bang!" "Two steps and one trip to one trip to one step, but the speed does not decrease!
Closer, the two sides are getting closer and closer, seeing that Vieira is about to rush to the front, all of a sudden, the wind is whistling in his ears, Chen Mo raised his right foot to make a gesture to the right side of the ball.
"Feint!"
There are reinforcement personnel on the right side, Chen Mo cut to the right is looking for death, Vieira, who has a first-class view of the overall situation, did not make a follow-up action, and in the next second, his eyes widened instantly, only to see Chen Mo's right foot bypassing the ball, and then the inner thigh muscles suddenly pulled back!
Heel knock ball!
The ball cut diagonally to the left midfield from Chen Mo's left leg support foot at high speed, and the next second, Essien, who was inserted in the back, rushed to the horse, but unfortunately, because Essien was too far away from Chen Mo, the quality of this heel pass was not high, and when Essien received the ball, the blue team midfielder Lauren had already pounced in front of him.
The attack failed, and Essien adjusted his feet to protect the ball after a while, and at this time, Chen Mo also retreated to receive the ball.
"It's a pity that the ball wasn't passed well, otherwise it would have been a good blitzkrieg."
The assistant coach on the sidelines showed pity, and Wenger shook his head: "No, no, no, it's not that he didn't pass it well, he didn't pass it to Essien in the first place." β
"Huh?"
"It's hard to guarantee quality with a back-heel pass, and with Essien in left midfield, the distance between the two is too far for this little guy to pass this kind of knife. Look at the ball just now, his ball was actually passed to Fowler who was inserted in the middle position, but Fowler's offensive awareness was too weak, he thought that this attack had nothing to do with him, and he began to slow down halfway through, so the ball went to the left side.
It's a pity, this little guy has seen the flaws in the opponent's formation at that moment, if Fowler is replaced by Vieira, who has a stronger sense of forward insertion, this ball he and Essien are involved in two midfielders, Vieira can directly drive the ball in the middle and drive straight in, and at that time, whether it is to distribute the ball to Henry on the side, or to shoot from a distance can create a threat. β
Wenger had some regrets on the sidelines, on the field, looking at Chen Mo, who was cooperating with his teammates not far away, Vieira, who had not had a smile on his face, finally hooked the corners of his mouth and secretly clenched his fists.
"Mr. Wenger's vision is indeed not wrong!"
