August 8, 2004, Cardiff Millennium Stadium, a port city in the south of England.

As a course that was only completed in 1999 and has a short history, the Millennium Stadium has not had a top superstar or hosted the top tournaments, but this course is very luxurious, and it looks very much like a square toilet with iron edges!

At a cost of £126 million, the stadium can accommodate 75,000 spectators, and is the second in Europe and the largest in the world to have a canopy.

"Dear spectators, fans and friends, I am very happy to bring you the commentary of today's England Community Shield, I am the commentator Johnson, and my partner is Eh! I'm sorry everyone, but it's not my old partner Tom who is on stage with me today, so let's give you a round of applause - Manchester United Football Club legend! One of the "Divine Three", three-time English top flight champion, 1968 Champions League champion - Dr. Bobby Char————! and today's special guest, Miss Anne Hathaway!! ”

The passionate roar of the commentator echoed over the Millennium Stadium, and soon, the sweet-looking Anne Hathaway and the gray-haired, nearly 60-year-old generation of football legend Dr. Charlton appeared on the big screen of the stadium.

When the woman appeared, the fans did not react, and when Charlton appeared on the camera and said hello, the Manchester United fans present immediately boiled, and most of the audience was dyed a sea of red.

"Hahaha, the fans at the scene are very excited, it seems that Dr. Charlton, your great achievements in Manchester United will always be in the hearts of Manchester United fans!"

'I'm honoured to be a part of Manchester United's history.

"Sure enough, he is a gentleman of football, okay, so let's not talk too much and get straight to the point. Dr Charlton, what do you think about the two teams that are going to play today, Manchester United and Arsenal? ”

"The Community Shield is essentially a friendly game, and if it were two other non-rivals, it might not be too intense and you wouldn't have invited me to comment, haha, but now it's Manchester United and Arsenal, so it's complicated.

Since Mr. Wenger took charge of Arsenal, they have been our biggest rivals on the road to the title, and the two sides are not mortal enemies, but the fierce confrontation over the past few years has also formed a very strong hostile feeling, especially the scolding between Mr. Ferguson and Mr. Wenger.

Ahem, although I am a big fan of Manchester United, I have to say that Mr Wenger is indeed an amazing coach, and they achieved the legendary achievement of winning the title unbeaten last season, which I admire very much, but. We're also improving, with the likes of Ruud van Nistelrooy, Keane, the Neville brothers, Ryan Giggs and Rio Ferdinand, I won't say much more, their performances are at the top of their game.

I would like to mention Cristiano Ronaldo, a little guy who has done amazingly. Especially on the right flank, he is physically strong, sharp on the break, and when he gets the ball, he creates a lot of defensive pressure for the opposition. It is likely that today's game will be due to his presence, which will cause Patrick Vieira to be tired of defending, and ultimately Arsenal will not be able to organise an effective attack. ”

"Wow, such a high evaluation! It seems that Dr. Charlton is really optimistic that Manchester United can lift the Community Shield trophy, but as far as I know, Arsenal also spent a lot of money to bring in Barcelona genius Chen Mo and Lyon's defender Essien this summer window, both of them are very optimistic about the outside world, do you think the two of them will have an impact on this game? ”

'It's hard, it's not that I don't think I'm optimistic about the talent of these two little guys, although I haven't seen much of their game footage, but I still pay attention to the newspapers, and there's no doubt that they're all talented players, but you know, the pace and style of the Premier League is completely different from other leagues, and even those who are already mature come to our Premier League will have a period of adaptation, not to mention that one of them is under 17 and the other is just 22.

Well, to put it mildly, I'm more looking forward to Rooney's performance than these two little guys, he came to Manchester United from Everton, he doesn't need to adapt too much in terms of style of play, maybe there will be a bright performance in this game. ”

"Well, Dr. Charlton's analysis does make sense, so, Miss Anne, what do you think of this game?"

"I don't really know much about football tactics, hehe, but I watched a La Liga del Rey match with my dad at home last year, and in that game, the young player named Chen played very well and scored a free kick from 40 meters out, and my father jumped up in surprise. Well, I hope he can have a good performance if he plays in this game. ”

"Okay, thank you very much Miss Anne for your encouragement, by the way, here is a word of caution for fans and friends. On the 11th of this month, that is, three days later, the movie "Princess Diaries 2: The Royal Engagement" starring Miss Anne will be released. The starting squad has come out, and Arsenal has changed the formation! This is.. 4213？！ Chen Mo and Essien all started, and Henry switched to the right side, oh! Arsene Wenger is such an unexpected coach! ”

.

The sky was clear, and there were bursts of shouting outside the players' tunnel.

Holding the little caddy, Chen Mo was chatting with Henry, when a fierce voice came from behind him: "When will children also come to play in the Premier League?" Cristiano, hurry up and call the staff to deal with it. ”

Children?

The voice came towards him, Chen Mo turned his head to look, and saw a white man with a hard face looking at him, with no expression, but it just gave people a strong sense of oppression, and beside him, Ronaldo and Rooney also looked at Chen Mo, Rooney's face was complicated, and there was some worry in his eyes and he was ready to say something, at this time Ronaldo spoke first, and said with a smile: "Hey, meet again." ”

"Yes."

Chen Mo smiled and nodded, still a little happy to see an old acquaintance in his heart, and then the corners of Ronaldo's mouth hooked up a proud smile: "I lost to you last time because I didn't have strong enough teammates, it doesn't count!" Now, I'm the main player at Manchester United, and you're haha, a loser who has been swept away! ”

The words were very ugly, and Chen Mo frowned: "Do you have any serious illness?" ”

"You clean my mouth a little bit!"

Before Ronaldo could speak, Keane was already glaring angrily, a trace of anger flashed in Chen Mo's eyes, and he opened his mouth to prepare two sentences, and at this time, standing closer, Bergkamp, who had always spoken little, stood in front of him, looked directly at Keane, and his eyes were cold: "Go back." ”

The voice was not loud, but it was extremely penetrating, and Keane stepped forward, "You say it again?!" ”

"Get out!"

"Do you want to be beaten?!"

Keane's eyes were round, and the next moment a group of Manchester United players immediately rushed in front of him, and at the same time, Vieira Giroud and others also rushed over, the atmosphere was instantly tense, and the security guards next to him saw that the situation was not good and immediately separated the two teams, and until they separated, Vieira was still spewing trash talk with Keane.

"It's their little trick to provoke you, don't be fooled."

Pire whispered to Chen Mo, but Chen Mo was silent and nodded.

.

As the referee blew the whistle, the game began.

The Arsenal players in red clothes and white sleeves attacked from left to right, Burgkamp dialed the ball to Chen Mo in the center circle, Chen Mo did not hesitate, and directly pushed the ball back to Vieira, while he himself quickly moved forward to the position between Manchester United's two midfielders, Keane and Phil Neville!

"You dare to hit the front midfield?"

The moment Chen Mo went to the top, Keane immediately put it on, kept giving small movements in his hands, and at the same time had trash talk in his mouth, Chen Mo ignored him, just ran on his own, assisting Vieira to pass the ball while swinging his head to observe the overall formation of Manchester United.

At this glance, he knew in his heart that 442 was similar to what Wenger expected before the game, and Manchester United still used the 442 formation with wings flying together.

Gary Neville, Ferdinand, Sylvester, O'Shea

Cristiano Ronaldo, Phil Neville, Keane, Ryan Giggs

Rooney, Ruud van Nistelrooy.

"Cristiano Ronaldo and Ryan Giggs are both strong in attack and weak in defence, as long as Keane and Phil Neville are attracted to the middle, we can penetrate them on both wings, but if we put a lot of people in the middle, if the ball is broken, Keane will be very troublesome to pass directly to the two wings to counterattack, so. Vieira and Essien have to pull the side, and I have to be the first gate in the transition and don't let Keane send long balls! ”

Keep passing, keep thinking, and gradually the ideas in my mind began to become clear, Chen Mo's running range began to increase, to be precise, the range of moving up and down began to increase!

In the field of vision of the audience, Chen Mo was like a zipper of clothes sliding up and down, sometimes retreating to the midfield, and sometimes passing through the two midfielders Keane and Phil Neville to the top of the arc.

"Chen's frequency and range of running up and down is really large, and he is in good health."

"Haha, Miss Anne is right, Chen Mo is indeed very hard working in this game, and it is very effective. He's got a long-range shot and he's very good at passing the ball in very small spaces, so when he gets to the top of the arc, United's two midfielders, Keane and Phil Neville, and centre-backs Rio Ferdinand and Silvestre, have to shrink inward and form a diamond shape to trap him.

But when he retreated, Phil Neville had to go up to the top to mark the defense, so that Manchester United's formation continued to shrink and expand, shrink and expand, and slowly tsk, no wonder Coach Wenger said before the game that he had a top football brain. ”

'You're right Johnson, but it's not enough to break our formation, he can do rely on moving up and down to pull the formation, but only if he can get the ball in when he's in place. Patrick Vieira is undoubtedly a very strong B2B midfielder, but his passing ability is not top-notch, and it is difficult for Chen Mo to run out of chances when he is surrounded by four, and it is even more difficult to shove the ball through the gap when there is an opportunity.

Look, now Keane and they follow Chen Mo's running and the large area of contraction is just a precaution, if the game continues like this, when time proves that this little guy can't get the ball in the bag circle. Everything will be different then. ”

"Yes, Dr Charlton is right, the ball can't reach the feet, Arsenal's tactics are indeed waiting! What's the situation?! Thierry Henry has switched places with Bergkamp! Bergkamp retreated to the position above the right midfielder, and Chen Mo was even higher! Big change! Is Arsenal's attack coming?! ”

Commentator Johnson roared at the top of his lungs, and under the watchful eyes of more than 70,000 spectators, Bergkamp returned to the right midfield!

And with the change of his position, Vieira stepped on the half-line, receiving the pass while also containing the defender Giggs, and switching to the right side of Arsenal full-back Ashley Cole is even more absolute, directly rushing to the front of the right side as a right winger, directly to Manchester United's left full-back O'Shea can not move!

The storm has changed!

On the sidelines, Ferguson, who was chewing gum, saw this scene and clenched his fists fiercely.

Thierry Henry does have a balanced left and right foot, but he prefers to shoot with his right foot at the edge of the box after breaking through on the left side, and he is much less dangerous on the right, and Phil Neville can safely shrink in to squeeze Chen Mo's space, but Bergkamp is different!

Although Bergkamp's position seems to have been the right center of the 442 double arrow, in fact, under Wenger's 442 system, he will always retreat to the right midfield, take away the defenders at the same time, organize the attack, and his passing ability is very strong, 95% of Vieira's forward goals last season came from his through plug after retreating!

"Trouble!"

Ferguson immediately walked out of the bench and ran to the sidelines to shout, but it was too late.

With Bergkamp dropping back, Manchester United's right midfielder Phil Neville was in a state of confusion.

Keep an eye on Chen Mo?!

And what about Bergkamp?

He's a player with the ball and long-range shots!

Chase out to defend, what should Chen Mo do?!

The diamond-shaped blockade becomes a triangle and cannot be sealed at all!

But at this moment, Bergkamp had already dribbled forward and had to step forward to mark, but at the moment he moved his footsteps, Pire went to the top, and Henry, who had been moving near the back line at the same time, suddenly went around the back of the entire Manchester United back line like a ghost, and the vision was in the blind spot!

"Offside position, what does he want to do?!"

The entire Manchester United defense is facing forward, plus Pire's top and Chen Mo who is making trouble at the top of the arc, Henry's movement at this time is only the most concerned by Manchester United goalkeeper Howard, but in the next second, he was stunned, Chen Mo, who was originally at the top of the arc in his field of vision, suddenly ran to the right, and this step directly drove Keane!

Chen Mo pulled Keane away to the right, Bergkamp rushed in from the left side of his vision, and Phil Neville was forced to go up to the top of the arc with only central defender Rio Ferdinand!

The middle door is wide open!!

"Not good!"

Only the central defender Ferdinand was left at the top of the arc, Howard just opened his mouth, and at this time Henry had gone around from behind Ferdinand to the top of the arc, and at the moment when he returned to the non-offside position, Bergkamp, who was carrying the ball forward, suddenly passed the ball back to Vieira, who was crazy in the middle to pick up!

The ball was fast, facing the ball, Vieira swung his right leg, and without stopping the ball, he directly stuffed the ball to Henry at the top of the arc!

"Opportunity! Chen Mo and Bergkamp's running position tore a hole in Manchester United's armor! Could Henry be the man with the sword?!! ”

"Hold on! Ferdinand! ”

The two players in Manchester United's midfield were pulled away to both sides in an instant, like a beautiful woman pulling open her dressing gown, and the commentary was instantly excited, and the Arsenal fans in the stadium stood up directly!

"Don't try to get the ball!"

"It's hard to turn around!"

Facing the rolling ball, Henry, who didn't like to hold the ball on his back, still tensed his back muscles, opened his arms to stubbornly stuck Ferdinand behind him, and stretched out his right leg against the ball, and at this moment, he caught a glimpse of a figure who quickly stepped forward in the corner of his right eye, without the slightest hesitation, Henry's toes were lowered, and the ball hit his toes directly.

Little Rainbow!

The ball crossed Ferdinand's right shoulder directly in the air with a small rainbow and hoisted into the penalty area, and the next second Piree arrived and shot directly into the ball!

"Bang!"

There was a loud sound between the instep and the ball, and in the next second, the ball roared past the goalkeeper's right waist!

It was so close that the goalkeeper didn't even make a move, and the ball was already in the net!

"The bent Buddha!! The ball is in!! In the thirteenth minute of the game, Arsenal No. 7 Robert Piressssss opened the scoring, and Arsenal beat Manchester United 1-0! Oh! It may not be the ultimate individual performance, but it is definitely a typical case of teamwork and tactical coordination!! ”

"It was a very good tactical move, but I think the main problem is that Keane is taking Chen Mo too seriously, this little guy is only 16 years old, and I don't think he can tear through our defense. Keane could have obviously let him go and put the defensive focus at the top of the arc, and if he hadn't been out of position, Vieira wouldn't have passed it so easily. ”

Dr. Charlton was still a little unwilling, but at this time, the Arsenal fans in the audience and the Arsenal coaching staff on the sidelines ignored him, and everyone fell into a sea of joy!

"Boss! We're ahead! ”

"No, it's not just the score ahead."

"Huh?"

The cheering assistant coach was puzzled, and Wenger, who was so excited that he just threw his fist, suppressed his emotions, nodded his head, and said with a smile: "It's not just the score lead, but the tactical lead!" It looked like an ordinary goal, but it actually proved that they couldn't continue to use the diamond position to block Xiao Mo when Bergkamp retreated!

I'm sure the players on the pitch should have sensed all of this, and there will be more and more contact between Bergkamp and Pire. Indentation, can't prevent Bergkamp and Pire, top out, can't prevent Xiao Mo! Four top passers and scorers! Enjoy it and next. We're going to dance on the edge of the Manchester United penalty area!! ”
