Chapter 316: Fox! (3.5K)
Four touches of the ball and the ball doesn't hit the ground!
Just now, under the gaze of fans all over the world, Arsenal played volleyball directly at the front of Manchester United's penalty area, and Modric, who finally "smashed" the score, also stared at the first moment after the goal, laughing wildly and rushing towards the corner!
"Luca!"
"Beautiful volley!"
"Good Croatian boy!"
"We will witness the first victory at the Emirates Stadium!"
"It's not the Emirates Stadium! It's the Iron Throne! Hahaha! ”
Enjoying the cheers of the fans, halfway through, Modric turned around and pointed at Di Maria and Chen Mo with both hands, his face full of joy and excitement!
"Amazing, Angel! This pass is fantastic! ”
"Hahaha, your finish is beautiful too!"
"Thank you, Boss!"
"Thank you for what I did, I didn't score the ball, hahaha."
Everyone hugged each other tightly, and Modric specially thanked Chen Mo, but in exchange for Chen Mo smiling and rubbing his head.
He was two years older than Chen Mo, but Modric didn't feel weird, but laughed and rubbed it back.
For Chen Mo, he really admires it, not only because of his skills, but also because of his character.
Football is played by 22 people, but there is only one football, so how to distribute the right to fire is a key issue.
The normal logic is naturally which player has the most lethality in which position, and the player will get more fire rights in that area, making the best use of it, but the actual operation is not so simple, it also involves the status of the team, and the most critical - player data.
There is no player who does not pursue statistics, and even some clubs will directly ask other players to be green leaves for the player in order to develop a signature star.
He Modric has been in the Croatian league for more than two years, and it is not uncommon for big names in the team to bully newcomers, especially snatching the right to fire.
Therefore, when he joined Arsenal last year, he had the psychological preparation of losing the right to fire and being beaten with a long-range shot, but after coming to Arsenal, Chen Mo did not mention this stubble at all.
And the goal just now was also deduced by a group of teammates when they were on the training ground, and finally made by Chen Mo!
is obviously the top name in the team but is willing to give up the highlight moment, how can he not admire Modric?
Modric's thoughts are not known to Chen Mo, who is sending a flying kiss to Kaoru Tsukichi in the stands, and even if he knows, he will only smile indifferently.
He wants a harmonious team with a comfortable atmosphere and a positive atmosphere more than goal statistics, and this goal can only be finished by Luka Modric or Di Maria.
Apart from him, no one in the Arsenal squad has been able to get past Patrick Vieira one-on-one on the edge of the box.
The operation behind Vieira is all empty talk, so this ball is either Davis or Xiaofa's head is down and he doesn't fill the position after seeing him pass Vieira, leaving room for a burst at the top of the arc, otherwise he can only act as a green leaf, or only he Chen Mo is qualified to act as a green leaf for this ball.
The celebration didn't last long, and soon, amid protests from the United players and cheers from the crowd, Ibrahimovic knocked the ball back to Xiaofa in the centre circle.
"What's the situation?!"
As soon as the game restarted, Xiaofa found that something was wrong, he controlled the ball in the backfield, but the person who forced him was not Chen Mo but Modric!
"Is this trying to play steadily?"
Seeing that Modric cut off the forward passing route, Xiaofa frowned and flicked the ball back to Vieira with his right foot, while running to observe Arsenal's overall position.
It's still 433, but Chen Mo and Modric's positions are reversed, and Chen Mo goes to a further position.
Not only Xiaofa captured this scene, but the commentary seat also saw this scene.
"Chen Mo actually retreated to the back position almost parallel to Mascherano, is it a double back waist? Looks like Manchester United are in trouble. ”
Indeed, under normal circumstances, because of the advantages of speed and strength and the strong single-point blasting ability of Arsenal, Arsenal generally presses Chen Mo in the frontcourt.
Once he succeeds in the steal, he can directly launch a counterattack on the spot, which will give the opponent's midfielder a lot of psychological pressure, but now Chen Mo has retreated to the backcourt. Then the intention is obvious, defend steadily, and then counterattack! ”
"Yes, Arsenal are not in a hurry to take a two-goal lead now, and judging from the performance just now, Manchester United's tactics are more about flying on both wings and grabbing points in the middle.
This style of play is indeed very restrained from Arsenal, which is not tall as a whole, after all, the defenders Mascherano and Samuel are not tall enough, and there is no way to cooperate with Hummels to pinch Ibrahimovic, but after Chen Mo retreated, the situation was completely different.
Ibrahimovic may be completely frozen, and Mascherano can focus more on marking Fabregas, in this case Manchester United wants to break the game, Vieira must go up to help share the pressure, but he presses too high will give a lot of space behind him, once Manchester United is broken by Arsenal to counterattack, he is stronger than Chen Mo, but there is a big gap in terms of speed. ”
"That's right, look at what is going on at Manchester United! Manchester United has changed formations, this is a 442 diamond midfield position! ”
"I'm in trouble."
The commentator exclaimed, on the field, looking at Manchester United, which was like a transformer, Chen Mo frowned.
In his field of vision, Manchester United became a 442 diamond position, a set of diamond positions very specific to their Arsenal!
Ibrahimovic, Cristiano Ronaldo.
——— Vieira———
Giggs ——— Davis
——— small law———
Patrice Evra, Ferdinand, Nedic, Neville.
"Good for us."
Seeing the other party's position clearly, Chen Mo's heart sank.
This formation looks very similar to AC Milan's 442, which is to let the forward midfielder who is not strong in confrontation retreat, but he can't move to the front court to force Xiaofa like he did against AC Milan, because Vieira and Ibrahimovic are too tall!
Once he leaves the backfield, Vieira and Ibrahimovic, the two tall men, can directly twist Arsenal's backfield, and it will be difficult for Modric to completely suppress Xiaofa.
In this case, Manchester United can easily control the ball and play the tactical intention they want!
Between two fires!
looked at Modric, who was constantly being mobilized by Xiaofa with passes on the field, and looked at Chen Mo, who didn't dare to press at all.
On the sidelines, a smile tugged at the corner of Ferguson's mouth.
"Boss, it's a good deal to buy Vieira!"
The assistant coach also saw the change in the situation on the field, his face was full of excitement, Ferguson chewed gum, smiled and nodded: "It took me a lot of energy to persuade him to join us Manchester United, but now it seems to be working well, but unfortunately, the first two goals were conceded too quickly." ”
Ferguson regretted it a little in his eyes, the staffing of this 442 formation was indeed what he came up with to target Arsenal.
The focus is on relying on Ibrahimovic and Patrick Vieira, two very capable high points, to suppress Arsenal's modest backline.
This not only caused Chen Mo to have to return to the backfield to replace Mascherano's position, but also freed Ronaldo.
However, new tactics need to be put in and Vieira and Ibrahimovic have only been on the move to Manchester United for more than half a month.
Worried that the players would not be adaptable, so he Ferguson started with last season's 433 to let the players find their feelings, but he didn't expect Arsenal to be so fierce, and scored two goals directly in less than 40 minutes.
Now there is no way back, but to give it a go!
Ferguson's game-breaking thinking proved to be very correct, and as Vieira moved to the front, Chen Mo did not dare to go to the top easily, and must form a backfield twin tower with Hummels.
But
As time passed, when Chen Mo once again used his header to destroy the high ball that Giggs passed diagonally to Vieira, the ball was held by goalkeeper Lehmann.
"Don't worry!"
Chen Mo pressed down with one hand to signal Lehmann not to serve the goal ball quickly, and then turned his head and shouted at his teammates.
'Mats [Hummels], you play at the back.'
"Javier (Mascherano), you go and keep an eye on Aveiro."
"Coconut, go back to the central defender."
"What's the situation?"
A little puzzled, the expressions of the three were a little puzzled, but no one questioned Chen Mo's decision, under the gaze of the fans, the three immediately began to change positions, and at the same time, Chen Mo also switched positions with Modric to the front court.
Gareth Bale, Olivier Giroud, Di Maria.
——— Chen Mo———
— Luka Modric
—————— Hummels.
Little Pony, Samuel, Chiellini, Chlich.
"I knew you could handle it."
On the sidelines, Wenger, who saw the team falling into passivity, but never went to the sidelines to command, clasped his arms with his hands and grinned.
No tactics are perfect, and United's formation seems to restrain Arsenal, but the diamond-shaped 442 formation cannot effectively use the two wings, and the right midfielder on Chiellini's side is Davies in a cameo.
A midfielder who has almost no ability to break through with the ball, just to make up for the lack of Xiaofa's defensive ability.
In this case, Chiellini, who is 1.86 meters tall, does not need to play left full-back, he can completely receive the middle, don't look at him is only 1.86 meters tall, but his bounce ability is second only to Chen Mo in the team, and his air dominance is very strong, and Hummels can already play in the back.
Samuel and Chiellini are in the grip of Ibrahimovic, and Hummels is alone in Vieira!
Just a simple personnel change, Chen Mo liberated himself!
But
Whether it is Wenger or Ferguson, or Chen Mo on the field, there is not much change in the expressions on the faces of the three of them.
Especially Chen Mo, after going to the front court, he did not relax, but his expression became more and more serious.
Are you kidding.
A coach of Alex Ferguson's level is struggling to think of a tactic that he came up with in the summer window, and if he can crack it in just a few minutes, then Ferguson will still be a hairy coach.
Ferguson's move is a conspiracy!
Arsenal's change of formation has only changed from passive to evenly matched, and to put it bluntly, both sides have created excellent space for their core players to play.
He Chen Mo can force Xiaofa in the front court on the defensive end, once the ball is broken, it is a counterattack in the front court, and at the same time on the offensive end, because of Vieira's top, what he needs to face is just a Davis who switches positions with Xiaofa.
The attacking space is bigger than before, and it feels like playing for AC Milan against Andrea Pirlo and Gattuso.
However, Manchester United's side has also benefited a lot, and after Vieira came to the top, Manchester United's attacking firepower has increased greatly, and once he successfully controls the ball, he can play with Ibrahimovic and Cristiano Ronaldo in the front court.
Now it's up to the players who have the stronger ability to seize the opportunity and which player is stronger!
"Still. There can be no rush. ”
When receiving another pass from Modric, Davies immediately made up for the card position behind him, Chen Mo did not blindly break through, but passed the ball back to the right wingback Klich, and at the same time ran to continue to look for opportunities.
Just kidding, although he has a strong ability to break through, Davis is a world-class midfielder.
Who would dare to say that they can eat Davis steadily?
Once the breakthrough fails, it will be beaten and counterattacked!
Now that the team is ahead, they can stabilize their footing and slowly look for openings, and to be honest, they don't usually practice a lot of this style of play at Arsenal, and it takes time to get used to it.
In this way, under Chen Mo's intentional control, the pace of the game gradually slowed down.
Time ticked by, and soon the game came to the forty-fourth minute of the first half.
"I have to say that the midfield combination of Chen Mo and Modric is really strong in controlling the field, and Arsenal's possession rate exceeded 70% just now, right?"
"Pretty much, the main two are not only high ball players, but also big runners, and it's not easy for United to snatch the ball from their feet."
"Indeed, eh, okay, the fourth official raised his card to signal two minutes of stoppage time, looking at the current situation, Arsenal is estimated to be with two. Huh! Wait a minute! What's the situation?! Hummels mispasses! Ryan Giggs breaks the ball, Manchester United is about to play a counterattack! ”
I want to finish this ball, but. You know, I'm probably going to write 4K for a ball
I can't stay up anymore, so I'll write again in the afternoon.
