Chapter 350: Four to One! (4K)
At half-time, AC Milan was directly kicked to the top.
Before the referee's half-time whistle blew, some AC Milan fans had already left the stands.
Capturing this detail, the morale of the AC Milan players on the pitch became even lower.
Perhaps due to mentality, after Inzaghi restarted the kick-off, Seedorf did not seize the opportunity to launch the last attack of the first half, but instead passed the ball back to full-back Odoro.
The referee was also unambiguous and blew the whistle at the end of the first half.
Unlike AC Milan's depression, morale on Arsenal's side is high.
Bale, in particular, has been playing on the bench since Thierry Henry returned from injury, and although he was the first substitute for two wingers and two full-backs, he was still a little uncomfortable, but this game was different.
Champions League semi-finals!
Starting!
I also switched to a winger that I like more!
I didn't score, but it was a very good sign – the coach trusted me!
Indeed, Wenger actually likes Bale's eccentric little guy very much, but Di Maria's current strength is indeed stronger than Bale, not to mention Henry.
Now that Arsenal can win, the two most important offensive firepower points are Chen Mo and Henry.
However, Henry is also thirty years old this year, and his peak is less than two years, as long as he survives a little longer, he can get a chance to stand out!
understood this truth, and then thought that Chen Mo's first choice to send assists in the future was himself, thinking that he would eat cakes in the penalty area and then kneel down to celebrate, Bale was excited, and even sang in the locker room at halftime.
Although it was only the first half of the first round, singing was somewhat like opening champagne at halftime, but Chen Mo didn't stop it, just sat under the No. 10 wardrobe printed with his poster and drank water.
The team not only needs players like him and Thierry Henry, but also needs a happy fruit like Bale, after all, it is not a good thing for the team atmosphere to be too quiet.
After a while, seeing the players' emotions gradually subside, Wenger clapped his hands and began to explain some of the problems he had seen in the first half in front of the whiteboard.
But it's not a big problem, the team is 3-1 at half-time, what other big problems can there be.
The main thing is to talk about some of the positioning problems he saw on the defensive end in the first half.
Arsene Wenger and Pep Guardiola both play attacking football, although one is a ground pass and the other is a ground pass and fast attack, but the biggest difference between the two is in the defensive end.
Pep Guardiola is the whole team pressing through the half, belonging to the attackers in front, the defensive line is also forward, relying on the defenders to press up to provide more numerical advantage.
In many cases, Pep Guardiola's defenders are positioned higher up front than the midfielders of other teams.
Arsene Wenger's style is also that of attacking forward, but the defence is relatively backward.
Although Chen Mo often leads the whole team to press through the half, it is not enough to say that like Guardiola, let the central defender press to the front of the opponent's penalty area more than 20 meters to participate in the organization and cooperation, at most, let his own central defender receive some return passes near the center circle.
But this game is different.
The midfield combination of the three of Magic Flute Angel and Little Pony can only be regarded as second-rate to be honest.
After all, they are all young players who have only been in the top five leagues for more than a year, and their characteristics are not very suitable for each other.
The reason why AC Milan was able to suppress AC Milan in the first half was because Pirlo, the core of AC Milan's organization, was pressed to death by Chen Mo, and secondly, Henry and Bale had much more running distance in this game than before.
Their tireless running attracted Gattuso and Ambrosini, the two defensive giants of midfield, to drop back frequently and help the midfielders relieve the pressure.
But even so, in the face of Kakashidov and Inzaghi's pressing, it was still difficult for the Magic Flute trio to stably control the ball in the back area without Chen Mo.
But they couldn't take the initiative to retreat to a deeper position to find the defender to fall to the foot, because the retreat was too far back, and they couldn't contact Chen Mo, the pseudo-nine.
The false number nine said that he needed to drop back to midfield frequently, but many times he still had to provide a threat up front to attract two central defenders.
The purpose of attracting two centre-backs is to free up the two wings and create one-on-one space for the two wings, especially on Thierry Henry's side.
As long as Henry gets a one-on-one chance, defensive midfielder Gattuso must drop back to help full-back Odor help defence.
Gattuso will return to defend and Arsenal's midfield will reduce the pressure.
This is a set of chain reactions, so Chen Mo can't retreat too deep.
Because Chen Mo can't retreat too deep, and Brother Pony can't retreat too deep if he needs the Magic Flute Angel, the midfielders must keep in touch with each other, otherwise the opportunity will come out and the ball will not be passed to the feet of the front line.
If you want to control the ball at this time, you can only take the initiative to lift up the back line of Arsenal and provide a contact point.
However, the lifting of the position can provide a point of contact, which also means that there is more space behind you.
Kaka is a top fast horse, neither Samuel nor Hummels can keep up with Kaka running wild with the ball, so the key is how to limit AC Milan from letting Kaka get the ball during the transition between attack and defence.
Half-time was spent in Arsene Wenger's discussions with the back four.
.
After falling behind by two goals in the first half, especially when Arsenal scored a late goal, AC Milan's morale was still a bit low at the start of the second half.
The main thing is not a question of the strength of the players, but the tactical aspect is restrained, unless Ancelotti finds a way to break the game, it is useless to play chicken blood at this time.
But how can the break be so easy to break, you must know that for this game, Wenger has begun to think about countermeasures several months ago, and finally found a way to let Chen Mo play the pseudo-nine.
However, AC Milan is a top team in Serie A that focuses on defense, and although the fighting spirit is low, it was not broken by Arsenal in the second half.
It wasn't until the last minute of stoppage time that Arsenal found another chance.
Thierry Henry's long-range shot from the top of the arc was saved by goalkeeper Dida, who picked it off and immediately gave it to Andrea Pirlo!
There is not much time left in the game, and Pirlo, who is eager to chase points, does not dare to hesitate, and directly looks for Kaka in the front court without stopping the ball!
Long passes in the air, very accurate!
Unfortunately, Arsenal had already targeted Kaka in midfield, with full-back Giorgio Chiellini already plugging in to keep an eye on Inzaghi before Thierry Henry's long-range shot.
In this way, Samuel was liberated, and he had already gone to post Kaka one step in advance.
After the fierce style of the ball, there is the fierce Samuel, in front of the tall Hummels, in the face of this net, Kaka, who was sandwiched in the middle, also has the intention to kill the thief and has no power to return to the sky, so he can only watch Hummels jump high and top the ball that is hoisting towards him to the left midfielder Modric.
Defend to attack, attack and then defend!
In just two blinks of an eye, the situation on the field suddenly took two huge turns, and the AC Milan players who had just tried to press the whole team to counterattack were out of position in an instant!
The transition between attack and defense is the timing, without any hesitation, Modric, who received the ball, immediately sent the ball to the feet of Chen Mo, who retreated to Pirlo's side!
"Bumper!"
Modric kicked the ball, and Chen Mo also kicked the ball!
With his back to Pirlo, looking at Di Maria who was in front of him in front of him and straight behind him, Chen Mo directly knocked his right foot against the incoming ball, and then turned around and used his strength to push Pirlo forward quickly!
Mid Di Maria, Chen Mo, Modric!
Wing, Henry, Bale!
Five arrows!
At this time, AC Milan only had four defenders!
Five-on-four!
Dribbling the ball to five meters away from the front of the AC Milan penalty area, facing Simic who retreated sideways in front, Di Maria did not shoot aggressively with his left foot, but a heavy shoulder gesture to the left, and the momentum was to cut inside.
The action is very realistic, and Di Maria's left-footed shot is very threatening, Simic immediately shifted his center of gravity to the right, but at the moment when his center of gravity moved, Di Maria's right foot sent a diagonal kick to the right front!
The ball rolls into the penalty area in an instant!
There, it was Bale, who was off the ball, and Marcray, the left-back who was marking him!
You chase me!
But Maclay's speed is simply not enough to see in front of Bale!
In the exclamation of the fans in the stadium, Bale overtook directly, and rushed to the moment the ball rolled to the cross-cut line of the penalty area, without any hesitation, and directly rolled the ball with his right foot and crossed!
The ball went straight to Chen Mo, who stepped into the penalty area to grab points!
"It's not a good shot!"
"What?!"
Running wildly, there was a huge squeezing force from Nesta's left shoulder, watching the goalkeeper almost seal the entire right side of the goal, between the lightning and flint, there was room to shoot, but Chen Mo, who had little space, gritted his teeth violently, and stretched out his right foot to meet the ball in Nesta's gradually widening eyes!
"Bang!"
In the shocked eyes of goalkeeper Dida, the ball rolling on the right side hit the little finger of his right foot, and instantly bounced to the right back of Chen Mo, where it was Modric who stepped forward!
At this time, AC Milan was already in the stage of switching between attack and defense, and the lineup was unstable!
In addition, Henry's in-cut attracted right-back Odoro, Milan's left central defender Simic defended Di Maria on the right side of the penalty area, and Chen Mo's forward insertion attracted right central defender Nesta!
Modric, who took two steps forward in the box, was empty!
Without any hesitation, in the exclamation of the fans in the stadium, Modric rushed to the bottom left corner of the goal with a direct right-footed blast!
Goalkeeper Dida on the right side of the goal is too weak to watch the ball go into the net!
Four to one!
In the final moments of the game, Modric did not possess the treasure, and he rewrote the score to 4-1!
The first leg of the Champions League semi-finals was beaten 4-1!
The whole stadium was completely transformed into a sea of joy for Arsenal fans!
"Fuck off! This is not the place for the Italians! ”
"We're going to Athens! We'll lift a second Champions League trophy there! ”
“Chen——”
“Mo————”
“Thierry——”
“Henry——”
“Luka!”
“Modri!”
"Angel~~~"
Organised by the host, the crowd chanted the names of the players, some of whom were already expecting Arsenal to lift the trophy again in Athens, the venue for this year's Champions League final!
This is also normal, in the entire history of the Champions League, it is not without a game that has been overturned by three goals, but it is too little and too little, it can be said that after the end of this game, unless it is a miracle, Arsenal has locked a ticket to the Champions League final!
In the cheers of the sky, Chen Mo wanted to go to Kaka to exchange jerseys, but rarely, Kaka, who has always had a generous personality, refused.
Just lowered his head and walked to the players' tunnel silently.
Seeing this, Chen Mo had no choice but to shrug his shoulders.
It's normal for Kaka to be uncomfortable, after all, Maldini gave him the captain's armband before he left the game, but the real world is not a comic story, and the problem with this game is not his.
Until the end of the game, Ancelotti did not find a way to crack Chen Mo's false nine, so Pirlo was suppressed.
It was a crucial point, with Andrea Pirlo being suppressed and the two wing-backs Gattuso and Ambrosini lacking organisational skills.
Kaka and Seedorf had to drop back frequently to pick up the ball, but the problem was that AC Milan's forward line was without Shepchenko, an impactful striker.
Single striker Inzaghi is a strong ability to grab points, but in the end he is old, and he is not a shock striker, once Kaka and Seedorf retreat, AC Milan's counterattack will not be able to play at a speed.
If you can't play a single knife or a long pass, you can only be caught up by the central defender and lose the opportunity to attack.
There is no doubt that the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals defeated the opponent, and it was two passes and one shot, and Wenger wanted to call Chen Mo for an interview after the game, but this time the venue was the Emirates Stadium, just in London, and there was no need to wait for teammates.
Chen Mo went back to the locker room to take a scribble shower, and then slipped away through the back door on his bicycle quickly, leaving Wenger alone to stand awkwardly in front of the camera and face reporters.
Regarding Chen Mo's dislike of being interviewed, Premier League reporters are very clear, jokingly asking Wenger if he has lost control of Chen Mo, Wenger rolled his eyes and smiled: "Yes, he has always been such a personality child, I have no way to take him, just like I have no way to take my daughter." ”
Joked answer, but, with the rise of the Internet, all kinds of bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods have come out, especially the Dragon Kingdom.
The next day, some news began to appear out of context on the Dragon Kingdom's network.
[Underground Soccer 999: No Organization and No Discipline!] Chen Mo ignored the coach's request and left alone after the game! This kind of person is useless no matter how good the ball is! Look at my brother Mei, he is a real role model! 】

The effect is outstanding, under the rumors of these malicious media, in just one night, Chen Mo and Messi's fans launched a scolding war on the Internet.
However, early the next morning, the writer of underground football 999, a little fat man with glasses and a boss who knows a ball, were taken away by the police.

"What the hell?!"
Red-roofed cottage with balcony pool.
What happened in the Dragon Kingdom, Chen Mo, who was lying on the edge of the pool reading the newspaper, didn't know, at this time he was resting his right elbow on the edge of the pool, his legs were stepping on the water at will, his left hand pinched the cat's tail and rubbed on the white calf of Yuechi Kaoru, and his right hand holding the edge of the pool was holding a newspaper that was wet by the water.
