A goal was recovered in the final moments of the first half, but due to Riquelme's injury, the Arsenal players looked very relaxed at half-time, and the smiles on their faces were noticeably more than in the first half.

Seeing that the players were ready to open champagne at half-time, Wenger naturally came out to drink, and then reformulated the tactics for the second half.

But actually. Tactical tweaks haven't changed much either.

In the first half, Villarreal's four midfielders led by Riquelme were a big threat, Chen Mo's overall position was relatively backward, and most of the focus was on the defensive end, but now that Riquelme is off, Villarreal wants to create kills from the middle of Vieira and Essien, which is very difficult.

The tactical adjustment only made Chen Mo's position more advanced and focused more on the offensive end.

This tactical set had been practiced countless times during the training, and soon, to the applause of Arsene Wenger, the Arsenal players trotted to the pitch.

Things also developed similar to what Wenger expected at the break, and at the beginning of the second half, Chen Mo's position began to move forward, more with Henry Bergkamp and Pire, and more in the midfield looking for one-on-one breakthroughs.

In the face of this situation, Villarreal has no good way but to change the formation of 541 and put the bus to defend and counterattack, but it is a pity that it has little effect.

To put it bluntly, defensive counterattack is not to control the ball, and then rely on defensive steals to play offensive and defensive conversions, but to play this time in the offensive and defensive conversion, either the players in the team are full of physical fitness, directly with a big foot and then fight to eat strongly, or there must be a converter, at the moment of offensive and defensive conversion, seize the opponent's position hole, and send a scalpel straight ball.

And now Villarreal does not have Riquelme's kind of converter, and in terms of physical fitness, Forlan can't find anything cheap in Campbell, who is 1.88 meters tall but fast.

Under the organization of Chen Mo and Vieira, Arsenal's overall formation completely overwhelmed the half, kicking around Villarreal's goal, and soon, when the game was 63 minutes into the game, relying on Pire's diagonal ball, Henry's right-footed arch on the left side of the goal pushed the far corner, and the score was stretched to 3-1.

The situation was very good, but in the seventy-fourth minute of the game, the unexpected suddenly happened!

In the seventy-fourth minute of the game, through continuous passing and cutting cooperation, Chen Mo got a gap in the front of the right side of the penalty area, and directly drew a positive instep volley, the ball was very powerful but the angle was not good, the middle and high ball in the center of the goal, Villarreal goalkeeper Barbosa jumped high and flew the ball with both fists.

"Take the first point!"

The ball was not far away, landing at the front of the penalty area, Chen Mo shouted loudly, and then, in his sight, Vieira, who was inserted behind, pressed the central defender Alvarez to jump high and fight for the header, but this time there was no top position, the ball refracted from Vieira's head to the top of Alvarez's head, who had not jumped in place, and finally popped up on the bottom line.

"It's a pity."

Chen Mo shook his head and was about to enter the penalty area and wait for a corner kick, but in the next second, his eyes widened instantly, and under his gaze, the moment he landed, Vieira's right foot stepped on the instep of Alvarez's foot!

"I'm grass!"

Curved!

Ankles bend outward!

"Crunch!"

There seemed to be a crisp sound ringing in his ears, and the terrifying scene made Chen Mo's pupils shrink suddenly, and in the next second, Vieira showed an extremely painful expression on his face, holding his right ankle and rolling on the ground!

"Oh my God! Vieira suddenly fell to the ground! The referee directly blows to stop the game! What's the situation?! ”

"He seems to have had physical contact with Alvarez when he landed. Oh! Slow motion is coming. Oh! O my God! He stepped on Alvarez's foot when he landed! This one. Oh! I'm getting goosebumps all over my body! ”

"The team doctor is on the field, it's trouble!"

The commentary let out a burst of exclamations, and the fans in the stadium craned their necks to watch.

On the sidelines, Wenger paced back and forth restlessly, and Vieira was a very crucial part of this team!

Chen Mo's personal ability is very strong, but in the end he is too young, he lacks game experience, and there will be occasional problems in rhythm control when facing top teams like Chelsea and Manchester United, and the whole team is like a shaking building, and at this time, Vieira will rely on his years of game experience to remind Chen Mo and stabilize the situation!

And in addition to the game experience, Vieira is also indispensable at both offensive and defensive ends, without him, Arsenal's midfield will not be able to completely suppress the opponent at both ends of the attack and defense as before!

"Hopefully there won't be a big problem!"

Looking at Vieira, who fell to the ground, Wenger buckled the tip of his nose uneasily, but soon, when he saw the team doctor turn his head and make a gesture to get on the stretcher, a deep helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he reached out to stroke his silver hair.

"It's going to be stretchered, and it looks like Vieira can't hold on to this game."

"I feel like it's not just this fight, he's jumping high and landing on his feet. I guess at the very least, it's a cracked bone. ”

"Oh, it's a pity, Arsenal this season are clearly stronger than last season. Especially the three midfielders composed of Chen Mo, Essien and Vieira, when the three of them are on the field at the same time, the entire midfield is almost a forbidden area for life. In the eight games since the Community Shield, only Villarreal has relied on Riquelme to tear a hole in Arsenal's midfield with a thigh strain, while the other teams can't even control the ball near the center circle, let alone create damage! ”

"Yes, at the moment Arsenal is almost a perfect team with attack and defence, except that the attacking firepower on the right side is not at the top level. There are many pro-Arsenal journalists and media who call this year the most promising year to win the Champions League, and even a record-breaking unbeaten run to win the Premier League, but now.

"Hey, I can only bless him now."

The chattering voice of the commentary hovered over the court, helping the team doctor attach Vieira to the stretcher, and Chen Mo frowned.

Seeing his expression, Vieira, whose lips were still a little pale, suddenly reached out and patted his arm, turned his head to look at Henry and the others next to him, who were also full of solemnity, and said with a smile: "Come on guys, don't let me lose the opportunity to participate in the Champions League knockout round." ”

"You guy still have the heart to laugh."

Henry rolled his eyes, he and Vieira are not only club teammates, but also French compatriots, the two have won the World Cup and the European Championship together, and the relationship is not ironclad.

Thinking of this, Henry sighed slightly, the Premier League champion, the European Cup champion, the World Cup champion, in addition to personal honors, they have almost reached a grand slam at the team level, only one Champions League champion is missing!

It's like a computer, a top-level graphics card, a top-level memory, a top-level monitor, but the CPU pulls the crotch, how uncomfortable you think, and this year is the most promising year to win the Champions League in his opinion, but Vieira is injured at this time.

I was uncomfortable, and a voice suddenly sounded in my ears.

"Don't worry, with me, we Arsenal are invincible!"

Looking sideways, I saw Chen Mo rubbing Vieira's hairless head, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and a sunny and confident smile on his face.

This kid is also a little too confident.

Worry and depression instantly turned into speechlessness and a hint of relief, Henry's face was much relaxed, and he was about to say something, Bergkamp took off the captain's armband on Vieira's arm and put it on, glaring coldly at Chen Mo.

"It's not time for you to carry the beam, now, get back to the game!"

.

[In the first round of the Champions League group stage, Arsenal defeated Villarreal 3-1 away, and the seventeen-year-old Chen Mo completed a wonderful goal from midfield to goal in this game! Unfortunately, Vieira retired in the 74th minute with a broken ankle and is expected to recover in 12-16 weeks! 】

[Continuing his efficient performance, Chen Mo completed one goal and one assist in his Champions League debut, and after the game, many rating agencies scored a super high score of 9.2! ] Patrick Vieira is injured! 】

[Thighs fall! ] Chen Mo's super performance is more because of Vieira, the world's top midfielder, behind him, and now, Vieira is down, can he continue his previous highlight performance? 】

[Chen Mo or may be completely corrected?!] The absolute dominance of Arsenal's midfield comes from Chen Mo, Essien and Vieira, three players with strong running ability and interception ability, their defensive area is very large, and they cover each other, but now Vieira is out, and Arsenal have no substitutes with the same characteristics.

Unless Wenger completely transforms Chen Mo into a defensive player, it is impossible for Chen Mo and Essien, who need to take care of offensive tasks, to cover the entire midfield, and Essien does not have strong organizational skills, and it is impossible for the two to switch positions as often as before. Therefore, Arsene Wenger, who has always advocated attacking football, may completely fix Chen Mo in the forward position. 】

[Last night, Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo said in an interview: "Yes, I love Manchester United, Manchester United and Sir Alex Ferguson have given me everything, without them I would not be where I am now, this is my second home.

Bad form lately? No, no, no, it's just a run-in period, you know, Keane suffered an injury some time ago and we signed two new team-mates, which is normal and I'm sure under Sir Alex Ferguson will get back on track very quickly.

What? Three seasons at Manchester United without scoring in the Champions League?! I think it's a very disrespectful issue and now I just want to say that in two weeks' time on Saturday I'll finish them at Old Trafford! 】

"Oh, Candy, England is so busy tonight."

"Haha, that's right, old Jack, especially after the start of the Champions League group stage, the fans of the whole England are boiling! Hahaha! Okay, welcome to BBC Premier League Football, hello, I'm Kandi. ”

"Hello everyone, I'm your old BABY Jack~Ke!"

In London, the BBC building, two white men sit in front of the camera at a round table, with a huge backdrop of Chen Mo and Ronaldo behind them.

Jack, an old man with curly blond hair sitting on the right, smiled: "I believe that the audience has just seen some of the hottest news in recent days from the TV screen, especially Arsenal fans." ”

Speaking of this, Old Jack raised his eyebrows at Candy and joked: "I believe that the mood of every Arsenal fan at this time is very complicated, after all, Arsenal has been unbeaten for 46 consecutive games, rewriting the unbeaten record in the history of the Premier League, but at this time Vieira is injured again, hey, it's really sad news." ”

"Oh, old Jack, put away your crocodile tears! The devil would believe that a Chelsea fan would be saddened by the fact that Arsenal have been weakened! ”

'No, no, no Kandi, I'm a Chelsea fan, but I'm sure no fan, no matter what club it is, no normal person is happy about an injury to an important player from a rival. What's more, it is not Chelsea who is standing in front of Arsenal at the moment, but Manchester United.

Next week's weekend, Arsenal take on Manchester United at Old Trafford, and the overall performance of Manchester United has started to pick up since signing Dutch defender Davies, and Arsenal have been on a winning streak in the Premier League since losing to you in the Community Shield. What's more, haven't you watched the news? Cristiano has publicly declared that he wants to get revenge on Arsenal at Old Trafford. ”

"Cristiano? Let him finish the first goal of the Champions League first, and then let out the cruel words! ”

"Hahaha, don't be angry, don't be angry, but the reality in front of us is that Vieira's injury has a very big impact on Arsenal, and the time left for Arsenal to adjust, only 14 days after the full game, and then they will face Manchester United. The whole of England knows that Mr. Arsene Wenger and Mr. Ferguson have been competing with each other for several years, and the two sides have formed a big bond if the winning streak is broken by an old rival at this time."

"Nope! No way! Arsenal can't afford to lose at home to Manchester United! When pigs fly! ”

The sound from the TV came to the cochlea, the soft little hands pressed on the thigh muscles, Chen Mo leaned his head on the top of the sofa, slightly backwards and completely plunged his whole body into the sofa, and looked at the chandelier in a daze.

"Stressful?"

Kaoru Yuechi, who was wearing a black nightdress, sat cross-legged beside him, the nutritionist's book was placed between his legs, his left hand pressed Chen Mo's thigh, and his right hand supported his chin, Chen Mo nodded, and shook his head again: "It's not that the competition is stressful, it's mainly because."

"Something is concerned about the expectations of your team-mates and Mr Arsene Wenger, right?"

"Yes."

Chen Mo nodded, clasping his arms with his hands: "Although I have experienced big scenes when I was in Barcelona, I have also been ordered in danger, but to be honest, Barcelona at that time, from the management to the coach, and then from the coach to the teammates, except for Saviola, Leao and Xiao Luo, others did not have much expectations for me, and I played football at that time just to prove myself, but now. I always feel a little more on my body, and I feel a little uncomfortable. ”

"It's you who are too emotional."

Yuechi Kaoru stretched out her slender arm, rubbed Chen Mo's black hair with a smile, and then moved her little buttocks, and the whole person leaned down on Chen Mo's right shoulder, and didn't speak again, just continued to read.

The slight body fragrance mixed with the smell of milk shower gel rushed into his nose, looking at the black hair and smooth little head melon beside him, Chen Mo raised his eyebrows and smacked his shoulders: "You don't say something?" ”

"Huh?"

Yuechi Kaoru raised his head, his tone was questioning, but his eyes were full of smiles: "Don't you want to be so numb, really." Okay, okay, don't keep looking at me like that. Oh, really, it's so strong and mature outside, and when you come home, you're like a child. ”

Kaoru Yuechi closed the book, crossed his waist with his backhand, and flew a little white eye: "Although I really want to say something enlightening to you, it doesn't really mean anything." Have you seen Zweig's The Guillotine Queen? There is a sentence in it called [It seems to be a gift from fate, but in fact, the price has been secretly marked], you have an unparalleled talent for football, and you have earned money through football that others can't earn in ten or even a hundred lifetimes, but everything has a price.

The pain that comes back to you when you train hard is the price; To stay in shape, not being able to drink with friends is the price; Suffering from injuries is the price; Carrying the expectations of others and carrying mental pressure is also a price, if you can't bear this price, then you can't accept the gift of fate. ”

"Kaoru's mother knows so much."

"You guy! Hum! I won't tell you, I'm going to cook! ”

said a lot, but was ridiculed, Yuechi Kaoru was a little annoyed, her little face turned into a glutinous rice dumpling, she pinched Chen Mo's thighs fiercely, got up and tidied up her nightdress, and walked into the kitchen.

When she reached the kitchen door, she stopped, pressed the light switch, leaned back and turned her head sideways, her big eyes narrowed into crescents: "But anyway, no matter if other people are disappointed or slandered by you, I will be by your side." ”
