Agitated!

uncomfortable

Jose Mourinho was thrilled from the stands, but the Barcelona players on the pitch were uncomfortable.

"Playing at centre-back, how did this guy have a long head?"

Glancing at Chen Mo, who was defending at the top of the arc, and quickly glancing at Xiao Luo and Messi, who were being marked by the two, Xavi passed the ball back to Puyol, and the expression on his face was full of pain.

For today's Champions League final, they have done countless deductions.

After thinking that his side was ahead, Chen Mo might play a more offensive pseudo-nine to chase points.

thought that if Arsenal took the lead, Chen Mo might sink to the back position to form a double back with Xiao Ma Ge.

even thought about Henry or Di Maria's physical weakness due to crazy pressing, and finally Chen Mo went to play as a winger.

But I never thought that Chen Mo would play as a central defender!

Chen Mo has not played as a central defender since his debut!

But

It's really effective!

In other words, it is very effective in dealing with the current situation!

The existence of the back five has completely squeezed the living space of Xiao Luo and Messi, but Arsenal's current back five is Di Maria retreating from the forward line to the midfield, and Chen Mo retreating from the midfield.

The front trident became a double center.

The two centre-forwards are unlikely to break the ball at the feet of a back four and goalkeeper combination, not to mention Giroud's poor pace and agility.

If it was a draw or a lead, he Xavi could have used the depth of the pitch to pull and run past the Barcelona players, but now they are two goals behind!

In a single win-lose game, the backward side must attack, and if you don't attack, you are waiting to lose!

Barcelona can only press up and kick!

But I didn't dare to press too hard!

Rat-thrower!

Although there are only two people left in Arsenal's forward line, Giroud can be a high fulcrum in the front, and the lethality of Henry's long-distance run is very terrifying!

Musk, a central defender who is not fast, can't defend against Henry at all in the face of Arsenal's defensive counterattack, but Puyol has a yellow card because of Chen Mo!

The centre-back cannot defend alone.

One of the two full-backs, Zambrotta or Van Brondon, had to be dragged back to assist Puyol, but that would make it even more uncomfortable to attack from the wings.

One less full-back to run to help take away defenders, Arsenal also has one more central defender, whether it is Ronaldo or Messi, one of these two will definitely be in a one-on-two or even one-on-three situation!

If you can't open the wing, the defensive pressure in the middle will be even greater!

Do you give it a go and let the two full-backs join the attack, or do you wait for your time?

Will it collapse directly?

Wait for the opportunity slowly, will you not be able to wait for the opportunity in the end?

Arsenal's sudden change of formation caught Xavi off guard, plus it was another Champions League final.

Rare.

Under the double huge pressure of the outside and the inside, Harvey rarely began to hesitate!

"In a hurry?"

Hesitation affects thinking, and thinking is directly reflected in the choice of passes.

Seeing Xavi's passing options becoming more and more conservative, Chen Mo, who was standing on the line of the penalty area and sticking to Eto'o, hooked a smile of conspiracy on the corner of his mouth.

Unlike Barca's passivity, this tactic was planned in advance.

If you plan ahead, you will naturally guess how Barcelona will react to this style of play, and at the same time make the next move.

"Deco is in no form, Xavi is numb, as long as we don't mess around, we can win!"

Giving Barcelona too much possession will allow Barcelona's players to gradually find their feet, but tactics should not only look at whether they are behind or not, but also on the occasion and timing.

Now it's the crucial second half of the Champions League final!

Falling behind by two goals and delaying the goal, the Barcelona players will only get more and more anxious!

"Still. Those two guys probably won't be in a hurry. ”

Once again went around to block the passing routes of Iniesta and Eto'o, Chen Mo glanced at Messi and Xiao Luo vaguely, his eyes were full of jealousy!

Xiao Luo doesn't need to say much, this guy is an optimist, his personality is a bit like an old naughty boy, he is rarely affected by pressure, and his career has been a grand slam, only a less important prisoner title has not been obtained, and the pressure is not much at all.

In this case, Xiao Luo's state will not be affected, and he can create damage when there is an opportunity.

As for Messi

Strictly speaking, Messi is not a big heart, but he is a very emotional person.

If he is in a team that is not friendly to him, he is almost a standard employee who clocks in and out on time, does not lag behind, but does not burst out too strongly, even after scoring a goal, he will not be too excited.

But once he feels that he is needed by the team and affirmed by his teammates and fans, Messi will burst out with terrifying fighting spirit.

This state will make him more focused in the more tense the environment!

"You have to be careful!"

Chen Mo knew it in his heart, but he didn't make a targeted arrangement, but continued to defend as before.

Soon, under the watchful eyes of the fans, the offensive and defensive rhythm of the game became slower and slower.

Barcelona does not press into the 30-meter offensive area, Chen Mo does not take his teammates out, only let Henry and Giroud harass in the frontcourt, and once Barcelona presses into the 30-meter area, Henry will stand directly behind Puyol!

Yes, behind you!

There is no offside in your own half-time pass.

Seeing this, Puyol can only delay, but he has a yellow card on his back and is difficult to defend alone, in which case one of the two wing-backs, Zambrotta or Van Brondonhorst, will have to retreat.

In addition to the goalkeeper, there are ten players on each side, a central defender and a wingback are dragging behind, Barcelona only has eight players left in the front, and Arsenal is not counting the goalkeepers who can cover the penalty area, there are nine people!

When the number of people is equal, it is not easy to pass and control, and it is naturally more difficult to have one less person!

In the increasingly dissatisfied shouts of Barcelona fans at the scene, and in the increasingly high cheers of Arsenal fans at the scene, time passed little by little.

"There are still twenty minutes left in the game, Barcelona has to seize the opportunity to give it a go, otherwise there will be no chance to drag it any further!"

"It's true that Barcelona had a very high rate of possession during this period, close to 80 per cent, but the problem is that most of these possessions are useless inverted feet."

"I just mean it. Falling back when you're ahead does make the opposition angry, but now they're two goals behind. There are only 20 minutes left in the game, and if you don't let go at this time, even if you have a chance, there will not be enough time. ”

"I understand what you mean, but the problem is that Barcelona can't move now. Eh, speaking of which, Chen Mo is really powerful. Striker, midfielder, defender, except for the goalkeeper, he can really play in any position. ”

After all, when he was a child, he played in Barcelona's central midfield, and under Barcelona's tactical system, both central defenders had to pull the side to provide passing width, so the midfielder occasionally needed to sink to play as a cameo central defender.

You look like the current Musk, he actually played at Barcelona last season! Wait a minute! Look at this goal first, Messi passed Chiellini! Oh, my God! What's the situation?! ”

The commentary voice became excited, and the fans in the audience were staring wide-eyed!

In the seventy-first minute of the game, Messi, who had been blocked for more than 20 minutes, finally got a gap on the side ten meters away from the penalty area line to receive the ball and turn around.

However, it was only a moment to take the ball and turn around, Xavi's pass just came to his feet, and as soon as he stopped the ball and turned around, Chiellini flew in front of him.

There is no close defense.

Messi's first step is extremely fast, and his cadence is also fast, the moment he Chiellini takes a step forward, maybe he will be passed immediately!

However, Chiellini did not panic, just lowered his center of gravity and stared at the ball at Messi's feet, after all, he is not alone in defense now, and there is Samuel standing not far behind him who is ready to fill in at any time!

One person to keep an eye on and one person to assist in defense!

Under normal circumstances, at this time, any player would choose to pass the ball back and look for another opportunity, but Messi did not pass back!

Arsenal defended him Messi very tightly, and it took 20 minutes to get this opportunity, and there was not much time left!

"Must attack!"

Looking at Chiellini, who was sinking in front of him, Messi's eyes shrank suddenly, and in the next second, his body suddenly shook to the right amid the cheers of the Barcelona fans in the stadium, and at the same time, his right foot raised his posture to push the ball along the side with the instep!

"He can't get to the bottom!"

Chiellini was unmoved, and at the same time his center of gravity leaned slightly towards his right leg, ready to seal Messi's inward cut, but in the next second, "What?!" ”

My eyes widened instantly!

Under Chiellini's gaze, Messi did not make a feint, but directly pushed the ball with the instep of his right foot!

There is no high point in Barcelona's forward line, and Arsenal is now a back five, full of people in the penalty area, there is no space to grab points at all, not to mention that Messi is still a left-footed player on the right side!

But now he's bottoming out!

Just this blink of an eye, Messi, who rushed to his diagonal back, flicked the ball to the left with the outside of his left instep, and then quickly stepped forward to the left diagonally!

The bottom is changed to the inside cut!

As if shaking instantly, in the exclamations of the fans in the audience, Messi forcibly squeezed behind Chiellini!

"It's over!"

As soon as he turned around, he found that Messi had been stuck in front of him, Chiellini was anxious, but he could only run behind Messi with his hands open!

Why is it that many of Messi's famous scenes are a large number of players running behind him, but he can't break the ball?

Because the defender moves behind the ball-handler, unless it is a clean kick to clear the ball, even if there is a slight physical collision, it is a foul!

And Messi's pace is extremely fast, the twenty-year-old Messi, not to mention breaking the ball behind him, can't break the front line!

You can only run along!

However, Messi is not so comfortable, Arsenal's arrangement for him is one person to mark and one to pinch the defense, even if he played an anti-psychology past Chiellini, but the moment he came behind Chiellini, Samuel was already in place!

"I can't grab his ball!"

Having been teammates with Messi in the national team, watching Messi come in a menacing manner, Samuel understands that it is difficult for him to break the ball from Messi's feet, but it doesn't matter because he is a squatting central defender.

The first priority of the defense of the squatting center back is to delay, the second priority is to press, and the third priority is to steal!

"Just don't let him cut into the restricted area!"

Arsenal are playing counter-attacking defence, and counter-attacking is inherently dense, with players not far apart in width and depth.

As long as Messi is not forced into the penalty area, even if his long-range shooting ability is very strong, when he is forced to the top of the arc, Modric and Xiao Ma will also fill in the position!

Samuel, who retreated sideways with small steps with both hands behind his back, was engrossed, staring at the ball with his eyes, and at this moment, Messi, who was cutting inside from right to left, suddenly smashed the ball with his left foot!

Diagonal cut to vertical cut!

Like a kitchen knife splitting a watermelon, Messi, who also understands that he will lose his chance when he goes to the top of the arc, forcibly changes direction and kills the right side of the Arsenal penalty area in a straight line of 90 degrees!

"Got you!"

The second before Messi's left foot dunked the ball, Samuel's eyes flashed, and he immediately shifted his center of gravity to the left, stretching out his left foot to block the ball, but in the next second, "What?!" ”

In Samuel's shocked gaze, Messi smashed the ball with his left foot!

It's a smash indeed!

But this ball is not to go to the outside of his Samuel's left foot, but to go under his crotch!

Wear the crotch!

To the cheers of the Barcelona fans, the ball rolled under Samuel's crotch and straight into the right side of the Arsenal penalty area, where it was unguarded!

"Oh my God! Messi has two in a row! ”

"It's horrible! Messi is God in this game! ”

"Is it coming again! At the last moment, Messi wants to save it. Oh! Oh, my God! What's the situation?! ”

Chen Mo ???! Why is he there?! ”

The narrator screamed instantly, and the cheers turned into exclamations in an instant!

"It's."

In the exclamation of the fans jumping up, the ball had just rolled into the Arsenal penalty area, Messi had just jumped over Samuel on tiptoe and was about to get the ball in the penalty area, and in the next second, a black shadow whose hair was straightened back by running back killed in front of Messi!

The moment he saw the appearance of the person who came, Messi's eyes widened unconsciously, "Xiao Mo!! ”

How could he be here?!

Running into the penalty area, one foot on the ground, Messi's face was full of surprise, in an instant, time seemed to slow down, the picture of just starting to connecting the two people instantly slipped through his mind, and soon, he found the problem!

From the time he started one-on-one with the ball, Chen Mo, who changed to a central defender, did not appear in his field of vision!

Breaking through the defense line by himself, Chen Mo, who played as a central defender, was not in his sight!

It's absolutely impossible!

unless

Suddenly, a picture suddenly froze in his mind, and then gradually became clear, the moment he passed Chiellini, there was only one Eto'o left at the top of the Arsenal penalty area!

Yes!

Only Eto'o!

This is not normal!

"Where did Xiao Mo go?!"

As soon as he thought of this, Eto'o's figure in the center of the arc gradually blurred, and behind Eto'o there was a black shadow standing diagonally!

"This monster!"

Like the picture of a horror movie, Messi only felt goosebumps all over his body!

Yes!

Chen Mo is in the blind spot of Kamei's vision!

But to be precise, it is not aimed at him Messi alone, but against Messi and Xiao Luo!

Xavi Iniesta and Deco are both good runners.

Iniesta also has a croquette, but his speed and physical fitness limit him to be unable to force a one-on-one attack, and his croquettes are all done under the premise that the opposing player is a little out of position after combining with his teammates' passes!

But now Barcelona can't provide a numerical advantage in the midfield, and Deco's state is pulling hard, and Barcelona has to rely on two wings in the end to open up the situation!

Chen Mo thought about this truth very early, but he also understood what he thought of, and Harvey and Messi also wanted it!

No predator will step on a dead branch first when hunting!

None of that matters now, though!

The important thing is that the ball is broken, and because Messi has passed two people in a row, Barcelona is now pressing the whole team!

Without any hesitation, facing the ball rolling in front of the right, in Messi's somewhat painful gaze, the black-haired Chen Mo supported the ground with his right foot, twisted his belt and hips, clenched his fists tightly, and slammed his left foot vigorously against the ball!

"Counter !!"
