On September 11, in the fourth round of the Premier League, Arsenal challenged Everton at home.

Everton finished fourth in the Premier League last season and are not underdogs, but in this game against Arsenal, they still used a 451 formation to play defensive counter-attacks.

Their tactical choices proved to be correct, with Arsenal attacking in midfield but immature at the back.

In the 33rd minute of the game, Everton seized the opportunity of Di Maria's missed shot from the left side to successfully counterattack and scored with a header from a cross from the wing.

scored a goal, Everton completely shrunk and shrunk very back, but the scramble was very active and violent, and the key defensive object was naturally Chen Mo.

At the cost of four yellow cards, Chen Mo was brought down by the entire Everton team thirteen times throughout the game, and Arsene Wenger on the sidelines protested to the referee countless times, and was almost sent to the stands for excessive language.

The opponent is completely fierce and fierce at all costs, as long as he moves forward with the ball, he will be put down, Chen Mo is indeed super uncomfortable in this game.

But fortunately, his teammates were very competitive, in the final stage of the game, Modric received Chen Mo's return pass and slanted to the side, Di Maria crossed with a flower foot on the right side outside the penalty area, and Giroud, who is 1.93 meters tall, jumped high to head the goal.

In the end, the score was fixed at 1-1.

[Wenger's post-match interview: Chen Mo was brought down thirteen times in this game, thirteen times! ] It was clear that it was an ugly game. If we continue to let such games happen, there will be fewer and fewer good players willing to come to the Premier League in the future! 】

[The Times: The Premier League does need to give the players a more suitable game atmosphere, and now the referee's penalty scale is too loose! 】

[The Telegraph: I believe that after watching this game, many players who would have liked to play in the Premier League may change their minds. 】

[Daily Mail:]

"The old man is really energetic."

Early the next morning, Chen Mo saw Wenger's article in the newspaper firing the gun, and there were many people who supported this remark.

Crooked smile.

Times have changed.

Previously, the majority of the team's income was from the sale of tickets, which accounted for almost 50% of a club's income.

Most of the fans who watched the game were local die-hard fans, and even if there were no stars, they would still support the teams in their own region, which was a feeling of regional belonging, and the role of the stars was just the icing on the cake, but with the advent of the Internet era, everything changed.

The proportion of ticket revenue is declining every year, not the revenue is declining, but the proportion is decreasing!

More and more exaggerated advertising sponsorship fees and broadcast sharing expanded this plate!

The basis of advertising and broadcast sharing is the audience in front of the TV and the computer.

They are not local fans, and most of them don't have a strong sense of belonging.

Whichever team plays well and which team has their favorite stars, they will watch which team's game, and the more people watch, the higher the revenue from the broadcast share, and the higher the sponsorship fee provided by advertisers!

In this case, the role of the top stars comes into play.

Don't look at the fact that as soon as a little old man leaves Barcelona, there are many advertising sponsors who immediately lower the price of Barcelona, and even some leave directly, which is the star benefit.

However, Chen Mo didn't want to get involved in these things, got up, brushed his teeth and washed his face, and had breakfast with Kaoru Yuechi, and then the two changed their clothes and went out to take the train to Liverpool City, where Everton is located.

Going to Liverpool is not a game.

Barcelona's opponent in the first round of the Champions League group stage is Everton in Liverpool, and Adidas wants to make joint sneakers for Chen Mo and Messi, and he needs to take a group photo on the spot.

.

Liverpool is a port city in the northwest of England, England is not a large country, and it is only three or four hours by train from London.

It's not easy to pass the few hours alone, but Kaoru Tsukichi is by his side, and the time is quite relaxed and pleasant, after all, the toilet of the luxury soft sleeper is quite clean and spacious.

Departed in the morning and arrived at Liverpool at noon, and not only Messi was picked up, but also the old captain of La Masia, who is now Liverpool's starting main Luis Garcia.

When he was young, Garcia took care of himself, so every time Garcia went to London to play, Chen Mo would invite him to his home for dinner, chat and play games after the game.

Led by Garcia, the group of four drove to one of Liverpool's more famous local restaurants.

Eating, chatting, and discussing the ownership of this year's Golden Globe Awards.

At present, there is not much suspense about the title of the Ballon d'Or, and Henry, who won the European Golden Boot, the French Footballer of the Year, and completed a hat trick in the Champions League final, is likely to win.

However, in terms of the second place candidate, Messi thinks that Xiao Luo will blow him up.

Blown up by Xiao Luo?

has a good relationship with Xiao Luo, this Chen Mo doesn't matter, and as long as he can't get the first place, the others are all for nothing, but he really wants to tease Messi.

No matter how Messi blows Xiao Luo, Chen Mo is a sentence [I am the Champions League champion].

didn't say much, but his expression was proud and disdainful, which could directly make Messi angry with internal injuries.

Watching the two of them bickering, Kaoru Yuechi was used to it, and Garcia was very emotional, he was the captain of the two guys in front of him back then, but he didn't expect that in the past three years, Chen Mo and Messi have grown to a height that he can't reach at all.

After a simple meal, Garcia sent the two to the filming location at 3 p.m., hugged and drove away.

There's not much to say about shooting commercials, it's just a few poses, and then it's a discussion of custom sneakers.

Sneakers are important, Messi's request is to have no laces, and he is required not to use SG spikes.

SG spikes are usually metal and are characterized by greater grip, but Messi is characterized by strong agility, and too deep grip on the spikes will affect his agility.

Chen Mo is the opposite, his passing breakthrough is more violent and strong, and it requires the shoes to have a high-intensity grip.

In addition to the spikes, what material is used on the surface of the sneakers, Adidas tried on many models for the two of them and finally decided on them, but Chen Mo is not particularly picky in these aspects, and the emphasis is on the quality of the custom jersey given to him in the future should not be too good, and it is best to tear it off.

I can't help it, it's really uncomfortable to be locked in my throat by my jersey.

Filming and patting, it was already evening when the operation was over.

Not wanting to stay in a hotel in Liverpool, Chen Mo and Kaoru Tsukichi were ready to go back to London directly, but as soon as they walked out of the filming building, an off-road vehicle stopped on the side of the road.

"Long time no see, little one, are you interested in having a meal together?"

Xiao Luo, who was tied in a ponytail, leaned against the window with one hand, his trademark bucktooth smile on his face.
