Blue sky and white clouds, wind and sunshine.

The sound of commentary echoed over the field, not far away, Vieira was choosing a side with the captain of West Brom in front of the referee team, Chen Mo stood near the center circle of the green field and stretched his arms, moving his waist, feeling the gaze of Kaoru Tsukichi in the stands, he pulled his arms, turned his head to the stands and showed a smile, which caused Xiao Zhengtai Dutch brother to exclaim.

Soon, the selection of sides was over, and Arsenal had the right to kick off the ball, attacking from left to right.

As the referee blew the whistle, in the cheers of the whole court, Henry, who kicked off in the middle circle, pushed the ball back to Chen Mo, and Chen Mo did not hesitate to pass back to Vieira directly, and at the same time trotted forward, while looking up to observe West Brom's formation.

Seeing this, Chen Mo raised his eyebrows strangely, "Ming card play, this is." ”

West Brom's personnel are in his mind's mind like a high-altitude perspective of a game screen, with a 451 formation, four defenders and five midfielders, and a single arrow forward.

This formation is actually similar to Manchester United a few days ago, with wings flying together, but Manchester United's three-midfield configuration is defensive gate Keane, jack-of-all-trades Philneville and retreating Rooney, and the staffing is still more attacking.

And West Brom's five midfielders, except for two full-backs who are fast horses, the middle three are all defensive players of about 1.85 meters!

Dense defense!

Two central defenders and three midfielders, the four-man defense at the top of the arc becomes a five-man sandwich defense!

"Interesting."

After seeing the opponent's formation clearly, Chen Mo did not hesitate, and still plunged headlong into the circle of five people!

It's not the head iron, but because in Wenger's design, his goal to the top of the arc is to break through the dense defense, as long as he can control the ball in that small area, with his passing and long-range shooting ability, the opponent must shrink, and once it shrinks inward, the space on both sides will come out!

The truth is indeed as Chen Mo thought.

When he entered the first moment of the five-man bag, West Brom's three midfielders immediately shrank to the center of the circle, but perhaps because Chen Mo was very uncomfortable by Keane and Ferdinand in the last game, he did not show more individual ability on the offensive end, so the extent of their contraction was not very large, and there was still a gap between people, and this gave Vieira room to pass!

Stick to the earth!

Keenly aware of the opponent's mentality, Vieira, who was receiving the ball in the left midfield, sent it directly to the ground, and the ball was very fast, directly through the human slit to Chen Mo's feet!

"Fack! You can't get by! ”

Standing diagonally, watching the ball come out of the gap, the next second the number 6 in the middle of West Brom's three midfield was already attached to the left shoulder, and squeezed forward, trying to intercept the passing route!

The other party is a tall white man with a height of 1.88 meters and muscles, but Chen Mo is not false at all, he stretched out his left foot to jam the position for the first time, and at the same time stopped the opponent behind him with his tense left shoulder, and in the next second, the ball rolled to his feet!

"Oh! Chen Mo got the ball in the encirclement, but James stuck to him, and it was difficult for him to turn around in this situation. ”

"Yes, it seems that West Brom did make a steering arrangement to Chen Mo before the game, they did not directly shrink and grab, but let the captain James go to the single defense to stick to Chen Mo, and the other two midfielders retreated to cut off his passing route, and now Chen Mo can only pass back, oh! The small shot at the bottom left of the screen shows Mr Wenger, and looking at his frowning brow, West Brom's tactical set-up seems to have exceeded his expectations. ”

Indeed, in the last game against Manchester United, Chen Mo repeatedly used the tactic of attracting defenders in the encirclement and then sharing the ball to break the door guarded by Howard. This game West Brom must have sucked up. HOOOOOOO！！ Wait a minute! What's the situation?! Chen Mo suddenly got rid of James! He's going to get the ball into the box! ”

The moment the ball came to his feet, Chen Mo immediately used the corner of his eye to catch the gap on both sides, but the other two midfielders of West Brom did not come to help defend him at the first time, but occupied the passing route and cut off his connection with Pire on the left and Bergkamp on the right!

"I can't pass it on!"

The ball can't be passed, James is tall and powerful, and it is difficult to turn.

Between the electric light and flint, under the gaze of the 30,000 spectators and countless cameras, Chen Mo, who was sideways and left arm against the opponent, leaned back, and controlled the ball with his right foot, suddenly stepped on the ball and rolled forward gently, and then followed with the rebound power of James's top, and in the next second, his left shoulder sank back, twisted his belt and crotch turned around instantly, his left foot was propped up in front of the left side of the ball, and he picked up his right leg against the ball, looking like he was going to make a long pass to the side!

"Don't think about it!"

James immediately took a step to the left to try to intercept the route, and in the next second, Chen Mo's right leg in the air suddenly retracted, and at the same time, the ankle changed, the thigh was clamped inward, and the instep volley was changed to the back half of the arch of the foot to touch the ball, and the ball was pulled inward!

In an instant, the ball rolled quickly from the back of Chen Mo's left supporting foot, and rolled straight along the middle to the top of the West Brom's penalty area, while James, whose center of gravity was completely shaken, was still in a state of stiffness, and could only watch Chen Mo run away from his eyes!

“HOOOOOOOOO！！！ Cruyff turned around?!! Ang glass Bobo! Ang glass Bobo! Rise!!! Glass Bobo !! That's impossible! Oh my God! Cruyff turned around and reappeared in the world!! My God! Such a wonderful action! ”

"Chen Mo is going to take the ball into the penalty area! Is he about to score his first Premier League goal!! ”

The commentator was so excited that he jumped up, the audience exclaimed, and even Wenger on the sidelines unconsciously clenched his fists, walked to the sidelines and stretched his neck to watch, and Chen Mo didn't care about all this!

The wind whistled in his ears, and the first time he shook James's center of gravity, his left leg tightened, his right arm swung forward vigorously, and the ball of his forefoot kicked violently!

A strong push back feeling!

The whole person is like pressing the nitrogen accelerator device behind the back, and the two strong kicks instantly catch up with the ball, at this time, Henry, who has been at the front, suddenly moved to the left back, and his move instantly took away West Brom's left central defender!

The remaining right central defenders didn't dare to go up, so they could only hold their hands behind their backs, lower their center of gravity, and stare at the ball at Chen Mo's feet with their eyes!

"The goalkeeper is in a forward position, and if he passes, he can be destroyed by the goalkeeper's attack!"

The front of the penalty area faced the right central defender, and the moment he caught up with the ball, Chen Mo immediately adjusted his pace, straightened up his upper body and licked the ball forward with his instep in small steps, and at the same time observed the goalkeeper's position, the electric light in his brain turned sharply, and at this moment, the left eye suddenly captured a dynamic picture, driving the defender to run back to the left Henry, there was a black shadow behind him at high speed, and Henry completed a rub shoulder!

Familiar chic brunette!

Without the slightest hesitation, the moment the ball was pressed in front of the right central defender, Chen Mo stretched out his left foot, and the outside instep was lightly picked, and under the exclamations of the 30,000 spectators and commentators in the audience, the ball crossed a small arc and flew directly over the right central defender's right leg to the left side of the West Bromwich Albion goal!

In the next second, Pire, who crossed and swapped positions with Henry, arrived at the horse, did not explode, and saw clearly that the moving goalkeeper did not lock the moment of the near post, and he did not hesitate at all in the face of the falling ball, and directly swung his right leg to push and push the near corner!

"Bang"

The soft sound sounded in his ears, not close to the ground, in Chen Mo's gaze, the ball pushed out by Pire had an upturned arc, and instantly crossed the gap between the goalkeeper's outstretched right leg and pressed down on his right arm, and drilled into the net!

“Oh！ my！ goooooooood！！！！ The ball is in! Just two minutes and 38 seconds into the game, Arsenal scored the first goal! The goal was scored by Arsenal No.7 Robert A. PiRRRRRRRes！！！ The assist for him was none other than Arsenal's No. 24 youngster Chen Mo, who had just completed two passes and one shot against Manchester United a few days ago!! In the first two games of his first season in England, he made three passes and one shot! This boy, who had just turned seventeen three days ago, was definitely a true genius!! ”

"Horrible data! Gorgeous performances!! To be able to put on such a phenomenal performance in the Premier League at such a young age, Mr Wenger's wait was not in vain! With Chen Mo joining, the offensive firepower of this Arsenal team is even more terrifying than last season! Come on! Go and break Nottingham Forest's 26-year unbeaten run of 42 games!! We at Arsenal are invincible! We at Arsenal are invincible! ”

A strange tone echoed over the pitch, and more than 20,000 Arsenal fans in the more than 30,000 seats in the stands around cheered, and the stadium instantly turned into a sea of red joy.

Cheers swept in from all directions, Chen Mo, who had just given the first assist in the Premier League, was very excited, waving his right arm at the fans on the sidelines, and at the same time running to the sidelines to hug Pire, and soon Henry Vieira Ashley Cole and others also joined in.

"Well done! Robert! Very nice push approach! ”

"Hahaha, the goalkeeper is out of position, and Xiao Mo passed it well! Oh, my God! He just turned around and got rid of it and showed me straight to the wet! ”

"Generous Crab! Me too! ”

"Great lad! Your Premier League career starts now! ”

A group of people celebrated wildly, rubbing each other's hair, but they didn't notice that the location of the celebration happened to be just under the VIP seat, in front of the iron-faced Pinal, and this scene was quickly captured by the camera.

"Oh, Mr. Pinal's face doesn't look very well, is it because he has eaten a bad stomach?"

"Hahaha, Tony, you're too bad, but ah, it shouldn't be just him now, all the clubs that rejected Chen Mo back then should feel bad now."

"Haha, yes, the China market and the Argentine market behind him alone are enough to bring a lot of commercial value to the team, not to mention that his improvement in the team's strength is also visible to the naked eye." What Cruyff turned around just now, I think all coaches know very well in their hearts. ”

"Yes, this means that Chen Mo can not only pass the ball, but also have the talent of holding the ball and blasting at a single point! Before the game, many sports media analyzed [Chen Mo's role is to attract defense to pull out space for others], but judging from the performance just now, Mr. Wenger's expectations and requirements for Chen Mo are obviously more than that, whether it is Henry or Pire or Mr. Bergkamp and him Chen Mo in this formation, all of them are absolute offensive points! They all have absolute individual lethality as well as passing and running off the ball, so the opponent can't defend at all! It's a multi-core attack lineup! ”

"What you said is right, but strictly speaking, Chen Mo is still not on par with the other three, he is still too young, only seventeen years old, and his skills are not polished enough, once he faces a team with a top midfield, it will not be enough. The game against Manchester United a few days ago is the best example of this, and, ahem, you must know that Manchester United's midfield configuration is not really top right now, Keane has won numerous honours, but he is 34 years old this year, and his physical function is not much better than his peak.

In this case, Chen Mo is still locked up by Keane and Ferdinand, so in the next round of the Premier League, he is estimated to be even more uncomfortable against the city's rival Chelsea, Chelsea not only has the 31-year-old iron gate Makelele, but at the same time, Frank Lampard, whose physical fitness is not lower than him and has excellent defensive ability, is in the prime of his 26th year. Well, I think it's very likely that Coach Wenger will change his formation in the next game against Chelsea, and Chen Mo may drop back to a more familiar midfield position and get more space to play as the core of the playmaker. Although this will reduce the offensive firepower, it will make it more difficult to lose possession. ”

"I'm pretty much the same as you think, but like you said, Chen Mo is still very young, and there is still a lot of time to polish the details and skills, and being able to perform like this at the age of seventeen is enough to prove that his talent is strong, so we don't need to rush at all, just take it slowly, step by step. Alright, Arsenal's celebration is over, let's get back to the game. ”

Explaining the things that can be figured out, Wenger naturally understands better, he rubs his chin, and looks at Chen Mo's eyes with appreciation, worry and helplessness, Chen Mo's skills and footwork are actually very delicate, but. In the past two months, his height has grown from 1.8 meters to 1.86 meters!

Looking at the first-class attacking midfielders in the entire football world now, only Kaka has reached this height, and even Zidane is only 1.85 meters!

Indeed, Chen Mo is the kind of player who can take into account strength, speed and balance, but his height of more than 1.85 meters still makes his ability to take the ball in a small area and move around began to decline.

This is inevitable, if you want to make up for this problem, you can only coordinate from the footwork, Wenger also believes that Chen Mo's top foot sense can cover this gap perfectly, but it will take time to polish it little by little.

Thinking of this, Wenger's mind suddenly recalled the conversation between the two on the plane when they returned from Japan.

What kind of player do you want to be? 】

[Players? No, no, no, I'm going to be the king of the ball. 】

Looking at Chen Mo's figure of trotting back after celebration, the past came to his heart, and gradually, the worry in Wenger's eyes gradually disappeared, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "A player who can't solve the battle alone is not worthy of being the king, take your time, I have patience." ”

.

Chen Mo didn't know what the people on the sidelines thought, and when he sent an assist, he was completely excited.

Soon, West Brom's No. 9 high school forward served in the middle circle, but the ball had just been passed back, and Chen Mo had already pasted it to the receiving player, and at the same time, Vieira and Essien were all pressed, and the retreating forward trident was directly pressed high!

The West Brom's three defensive midfielders have already revealed their tactical intent – to counter-attack, a lame version of the counter-attack, to be precise.

Normally, the defensive counterattack is to hand over the ball to the midfielder to advance quickly after the break, and then divide the ball left and right after attracting the defense, but this West Brom's three midfielders have no ability to advance, and can only make long passes to find two fast horses on the wings after the ball is broken, and then cross the bottom to let the single arrow high striker touch the prize.

But no matter how it changes, it is still a defensive counterattack, and one of the main points of defensive counterattack is to give the ball to the opponent, to avoid being cut off by the opponent in their own backfield, and then launch an on-the-spot attack, because when you get the ball, you need to pass and cut the run, and the whole formation is definitely not as stable as when you stand on a simple defense, but the Arsenal performance just now has told them that handing the ball to Arsenal is tantamount to death.

You can't attack with the ball, and you can't defend and counterattack when you fall into the position, how can you fight?!

It was a group of players who had just been promoted from the Championship, and their ability was average, and in the face of such a situation where they couldn't go up and down, West Brom's players began to hesitate and were soon robbed of the ball by Arsenal.

didn't get entangled, continued to repeat the old tricks, after getting the ball, Chen Mo continued to enter the encirclement, this time West Brom's coach didn't dare to relax anymore, and immediately stood on the sidelines and shouted for the players to implement the backup plan, start adduction, shorten the gap between the players and the players, and prevent the ball from passing to Chen Mo's feet.

"Idiot."

Seeing this scene, in the Chelsea Club Administration Building, Mourinho, who was sitting in front of the TV watching the game, turned off the TV directly, threw the remote control aside, and the assistant next to him was accustomed to it: "Don't you watch it?" ”

"The chain reaction has been created, what else to see?! I don't know if the West Brom coach is too stupid, or if their management wants to prove something, so that the tactics completely fall into the trap set by Wenger, this kid is indeed strong, but not at the top, not the biggest threat to Arsenal!

Now they go inside to wrap up that little imp, and Pire and Bergkamp on both sides will be liberated, and the threat of these two people is deadly! And once the two of them are liberated, West Brom's two wing-backs on the flanks will also move closer to the middle to help the defense! But West Brom's only weapon was the two wing-backs who crossed down the wings, and now they were going to get involved in the defence, which was tantamount to unloading the bullets from the pistol magazine! Who would be afraid of a pistol without bullets ?! Are you afraid? I'm not afraid anyway, and I don't think Wenger will be afraid either!

Therefore, once the two wing-backs lose their threat when they are adducted, Vieira and Essien, who have been sweeping in the rear, will find an opportunity to step forward! They will be like two sharp axes chopping at the shoulder, dismantling West Brom directly from the shoulder!

The quality and condition of the players are very poor, and the coach's tactics are also wrong! Now, as long as it wasn't for a missile that suddenly smashed the hawthorn pitch, West Brom couldn't have gotten a draw! Oh! Damn, I thought these guys would be able to take advantage of the momentum of promotion to the Premier League to take advantage of the momentum of Wenger's pocket! It's useless! ”

Mourinho roared and waved his arms, his face was full of unhappiness, the assistant next to him had already understood his character, but he didn't speak, picked up the remote control and turned the TV back on, and when the TV screen just appeared, there was a passionate celebration from inside.

"The ball is in! The ball is in again! In the seventh minute and 54 seconds of the game, Arsenal scored another goal, this time it was Bergkamp! Two-to-!! ”

“Vevy！ vevy！ vevy！ beautiful！ Extreme team cooperation, Vieira, who has been moving in the back position of the left midfielder, suddenly distributed the ball to Ashley Cole on the side, and then ran all the way forward into the penalty area, his forward insertion directly took away the right midfielder Jos of West Brom, who defended Pire, and at this moment, Ashley Cole passed the ball to the feet of Pire!

Pire took the ball, No. 7 Justin who surrounded Chen Mo at the top of the arc made up, and at this time Pire passed the ball to Chen Mo's feet along the gap, the latter resisted the defender and kept picking up the ball to pass the penalty area, and found Vieira in front of him in the penalty area, Vieira's header swung horizontally, and finally the ball grazed the heads of Henry and the defender and slid to the back post, and Bergkamp completed the tackle at the back point! What a wonderful match! ”

After listening to the commentary's shout, Mourinho rolled his eyes and shrugged his shoulders at his assistant, with an expression of "you see what I said is right".

Not only Mourinho, but also Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson and Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier, who did not play today, are also following the game, and like Mourinho, they handed down the death sentence against West Brom in their hearts not long after the game. As the time went by, things seemed to exceed their expectations and that of everyone!

1 to 0, 2 to 0, 3 to 0, 4 to 0, 5 to 0!!

Five to zero at half-time, a number that shocked countless fans!

Through the game against Manchester United, everyone knows that Arsenal is very strong this year, but no one expected that it could be so strong, even if West Brom is a fish belly team, but 5-0 at half time is too exaggerated!

Moreover, Chen Mo, who is seventeen years and three days old, assisted in a hat trick!

Pire's goal, Bergkamp's goal, Thierry Henry's goal, Vieira's former plug scored, Essien shot from distance, and Chen Mo. Three assists!

In addition to the first goal assist Pire's forward goal, the second assist occurred in the 31st minute of the game, Chen Mo, who had been moving in front, suddenly moved to the back of the right midfield and sent a 45-degree long pass, accurately finding Vieira, who was inserted forward, who jumped high and bombed with a header!

In the 43rd minute of the game, Vieira passed a high ball, he failed to stop the ball with his left foot in the bag, and finally accidentally gave Essien a shot on the right side of the edge of the penalty area.

But it's still a head-to-head kick, running all over the field!

In the entire first half, Chen Mo ran 6.1 kilometers, passed 68 times, with a success rate of 91%, 7/7 ground duels, 3/3 aerial duels, and completed 3 one-on-one dribbles at the same time, and sent 9 threatening passes, as well as a terrifying hat trick of assists!

Scored a hat-trick of assists in his first game in the Premier League and broke the record for the youngest to score a hat-trick in assists!

But.

None of this is far from over.

In the first two minutes of the second half of the game, Bergkamp received a long pass sent by Chen Mo after breaking the ball, unloaded the ball perfectly on the right side of the penalty area, and shot the ball into the upper right corner of the goal with a blast!

Six to zero.

The expressions of the West Brom fans gradually changed from shock to numbness, while the Arsenal fans were completely boiling, people sang and danced side by side in the stands, and even Kaoru Tsukichi and Rachel Mentors, who were holding back their excitement, were invited to join the party by enthusiastic female fans!

Started out the season - nothing stopped us，

(The season has started and we're unstoppable.)

Let's see the Arsenal showing them how!

Now let Arsenal teach them how to behave!

We were on the march with Arsenal's army，

We follow in the footsteps of Arsene Wenger and Arsenal

You'd better believe it，we gunners are best！

Let you understand that the gunslinger is strong!

You'd better believe it，we gunners are best！

It will make you understand that the gunslinger is strong!

The Arsenal！

Arsenal!

Come on the Arsenal！

Come on Arsenal!

The Arsenal!

Arsenal! ）

There was a rainbow rain in the sky, more than 20,000 Arsenal fans stood shoulder to shoulder, and then, after Arsenal won the double in the 98 season, the team song "hot·stuff" adapted by the fans sprinkled from the red sea in the stands to the whole stadium, flowing on the greenery, floating under the raindrops, and everyone's eyes were full of anticipation!

It is expected that this Arsenal team can break the record of the largest away score in the Premier League set by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in 1999 when Manchester United defeated Nottingham Forest 8-1!

The lyrics have been changed slightly, but the song is really good, you can listen to it and try it.
