Chapter 382: Chen Mo in Zidane's mouth
βHelloοΌ HelloοΌ Hello~~Haha, welcome to Los Angeles Football Night Channel, I'm your old friend Saul Goodman! Today's Copa America group stage between the United States and Argentina will be played by Sol.
Oh? What? You don't want to hear me? Oh~ It's so sad, hahaha, okay, okay, just kidding.
Let me introduce you to today's commentators! Heartthrob David Bey~~~ Keham and Zinedine~~ Zidane! Welcome two commentators! β
Los Angeles, NBC Broadcasting Company Building, resplendent studios.
With the passionate screams of the host Saul and the excited screams of countless American audiences, Beckham greeted Zidane, talked and laughed and walked to the sofa printed with the poster of Los Angeles at night.
"Oh, I didn't expect me to see the two of you so close one day, haha. Feeling used to life in Los Angeles? David. β
The host leaned on the small stage and naturally threw out the topic, Beckham smiled: "Of course, the living environment in Los Angeles is also one of the reasons why I chose the major leagues. However, to be honest, I didn't expect you to be able to move Zida to the show this time. β
"Oh, David, even though I'm retired, don't call me lazy."
"Haha, of course I didn't mean that."
A few people talked and laughed, and pulled a couple of homely sentences.
Soon, the host brought the rhythm to the topic, and glanced at the fan entrance screen of the Caracas Olympic Stadium on the TV behind him, and the host smiled: "One of the core players in the Argentine team - Chen Mo, the two should be no strangers."
Especially Zida, En first declares, I don't mean to offend, but whether it is in the last years of the club or the last years of the national team, you have met Chen Mo in some key battles and suffered defeats, I don't know what you think about such a super talent? β
Bald people are ruthless, and Zidane is no exception.
The host spoke a little cautiously, and Zidane smiled: "Don't be so careful, relax buddy." To be honest, I'm a person who hates losing, especially when I was killed in a World Cup final, but Chen Mo is a great opponent and I think it's actually interesting to meet such an opponent at the end of my career.
Haha, and, if I had to talk about it, I know that he would have been in time sooner than most of you. β
"Oh? How so? β
The host praised at the right time, and Zidane recalled with a smile: "It was about the winter of '02, when Ronaldo had just returned from a major injury, and did you know that the first thing he said when he returned to the club and saw me was [Zida, I met two super little geniuses in Japan, one of them may have a higher future achievement than you]. β
Zidane paused when he said this, the host shrunk his neck and stared, and the audience in the audience also stretched their necks to wait for the following, feeling everyone's reaction, Zidane shrugged and smiled, "You guessed right, that kid is Chen Mo." β
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, and the host also posted a group photo of Chen Mo Messida Luo on the TV screen in a very timely manner.
Looking at the two immature children on the screen and Da Luo, who has not yet made a fortune, not only the audience, but also the audience and fans in front of the TV also feel that time flies for a while.
Zidane continued: "It seems that he was playing a cup match in Japan for a young age, and the final was played by Ronaldo, and the club knew about it afterwards. The club's scouts watched the footage, but unfortunately, neither Messi nor Chen Mo were willing to leave La Masia.
And then again. That's the plot you know, he made a splash in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey three years ago. β
"Yes, I remember that game very well."
Beckham took over and said with a smile: "At that time, we knew that Barcelona was going to send a 16-year-old player in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey and let him play in the heart of the midfield. To be honest, we were all stunned, and almost everyone thought it was a smoke bomb that Mr. Rijkaard had put off before the game.
After all, even if Xavidko suffered an injury at the time, it still feels crazy to let a 16-year-old play the core, or play the core in a giant club like Barcelona, but you all know what happened later.
At the age of sixteen, with two passes and one shot, and a free-kick from 43 yards, he conquered the fans with his unrivalled performances and opened the doors of all clubs around the world to him. Oh, now that I think about it, time flies so fast, he was only sixteen and I was twenty-eight. β
"yes, I wasn't retired at the time."
Zidane said with a sense of humor, and then added: "This child has grown up too fast beyond my expectations, but. . . It's not me who needs to face him now. β
Hearing this, the host smiled: "Indeed, no team in the world now wants to meet Argentina too early. However, the group stage is about points, and in addition to winning or losing, you also need to look at goal difference, so I believe that Coach Garnett will probably adopt a very conservative tactic in this game.
Okay, now that the players from both sides have entered, let's turn the camera to the Stadio Olimpico in Caracas! β
.
"Come on Chen Mo!!"
"Leo! Leo! Leo! β
"Fuck off the Yankees! Please, Argentina! β
"I didn't expect the atmosphere to be quite warm."
The sun is shining and the sky is cloudless.
A warm breeze caresses the turf of the Caracas Olympic Stadium.
Standing in the center of the court, Chen Mo stretched his arms and set his eyes on the fanatical fans in the stands around him.
Compared to the luxurious stages of the Premier League and Champions League World Cups, there is no doubt that the Caracas Olympic Stadium in the small South American country looks a little shabby.
The entire stadium is oval-shaped, and the fan stands are like toilet seats that surround the stadium with a running track.
Not only is the design ordinary, but the stadium has no shading structure, and there are no second-floor stands.
However, in stark contrast to the slightly shabby stadium, the fans here are very enthusiastic, waving flags and shouting on the sidelines, and all kinds of small horns blow wildly.
This is not only due to the presence of many Argentine fans, but also because the Yankees are not loved by South Americans, but also because the stadium is located in the university town of Caracas.
The stadium is surrounded by university teaching buildings, and at this time, many students who can't buy tickets are looking and shouting by the windows on the rooftop and the upper floors, and even Chen Mo saw some bright lights, which are the reflection of telescopes in the sun.
"How do you feel like you've become an aunt who doesn't pull the curtains when she takes a shower in the opposite building?"
"No, no, what the hell was I thinking?!"
When he was a child, the memory of doing bad things with a telescope with Messi came to mind, Chen Mo shuddered unconsciously, and immediately drew his attention back to the field, and at this time, the second captain Samuel had also decided the kick-off with the opposing player.
The U.S. team has the ball, attacking from right to left.
"They're in possession."
After getting the news, Chen Mo immediately set his eyes on Donovan, the striker of the American team who was about to serve in the middle circle, and kept thinking in his mind.
As a striker who has participated in two World Cups, won the best young player in the '02 World Cup, and won the Ballon d'Or at the World Youth Championships in '99, Donovan is now playing in the major leagues, but his strength is actually not bad.
The award for Best Young Player at the World Cup is very high, and Pele, Owen, Mbappe, Pogba, Muller and Enzo have all won this award.
It can be said that Donovan is definitely a very good striker, but it is useless.
Unless the forward position is an all-round attacker like Messi, Ronaldo or even Neymar who can retreat and get the ball, there is no strong midfielder to support, and there is not much threat at all, and the United States except for Donovan, the other players are blue-collar sappers and do not have too strong passing and threatening ability.
If you don't play this kind of delicate footwork, just force the midfielder!
"The midfielder can't hold the ball, so he must hand over the ball as soon as possible to play a defensive counterattack!"
It's a very simple truth, Chen Mo understands it, and Garnett, the head coach of the U.S. team, also understands it.
If you know things in advance, you will naturally arrange them accordingly, and Garnett's tactics are very simple.
Don't have the ball, just play defense.
But
As the referee's whistle blew, after Donovan had just served in the center circle, Garnett's eyes suddenly widened, and his eyes were full of puzzlement!
Chen Mo, who has always been more aggressive in tactical play, did not take his teammates to rob, but only he grabbed by himself!
Yes, obviously pressing is the most effective tactic, but Argentina's generals are all stable near the center circle, and only Chen Mo, Di Maria, Aguero and Messi, the four strikers, are pressing in front!
Four players are pressing, and it is obviously impossible to pose much threat to the American team under the 541 system!
"What does he want to do?!"
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Garnett kept thinking in his mind, and at this moment, he thought of something, and his face changed instantly!
"He's going to be"
"Don't want the ball? I'm going to give you the ball! β
What is the reaction of the coach of the American team, Chen Mo doesn't care, just a little tirelessly running all over the field, cooperating with the forward line!
Why not press the whole team?
The reason is simple, the purpose of pressing is to keep the ball, but football is not a game that can be won with a high percentage of possession.
In the match between Germany and Japan, Germany made 825 passes in the game, while Japan only had 279 passes, but in the end Germany was overturned by Japan.
Why is that?
Because although Germany has a lot of passes, it has never been able to tear through Japan's iron bucket formation, many passes are useless passes, and at the same time, because the formation has to press forward when attacking with the ball, there will be a lot of space behind them.
It's the same with the United States, which even has an advantage over Japan.
The footwork of the American team is not delicate enough, but the physical fitness of the players is stronger than that of the Japanese team.
In this case, if the U.S. team is in a state of no ball and dies near the penalty area to play a counter-attack, then it will be the most troublesome situation for them Argentina, but if the U.S. team is in possession, then things are completely different.
The footwork of the American team is not delicate enough, and the footwork is not delicate enough means that the success rate of passing is not high, and the low success rate of passing means more offensive and defensive conversions!
Grasping the offensive and defensive transition is more risky than attacking the iron bucket formation, but there are also more opportunities to break the goal.
And the reason why Chen Mo dared to do this was because Donovan, the single striker of the American team, was only 1.73 meters tall!
The positional battle of the American team is impossible to play high-altitude balls, and can only walk on the ground, but the ground flow is just restrained by Argentina's short and flexible defenders!
And because Argentina's formation is controlled by Chen Mo a little bit behind the midfield, it will not allow the American team to get a big single knife that can fully play its physical advantages!
There are no losses on the defensive end, and the offensive end is strengthened!
This set of tactics against the United States is simply perfect!
However, this is a group points game, and the United States can fully accept a draw, and that's why Chen Mo has to cooperate with the front trident to press!
The purpose is to force the possession area of the American team to the midfield, once the possession area of the American team moves forward and there is a gap behind him, Chen Mo will immediately retreat and cooperate with Aimar and the two fullbacks to strangle the American team!
The premise of all this is that Chen Mo and the front trident can make the American team under the five-back system dare not control the ball in the backcourt!
It is difficult to grab four and five, and Messi's defense and confrontation are not strong, so Chen Mo needs to run more than usual and grab more fiercely!
Soon, under the watchful eyes of the fans, Chen Mo directly turned on the mad dog mode.
Running all over the field, all kinds of switchback sprints!
This scene directly shook their heads directly at Zidane and Beckham in the studio, sighing that it is good to be young, and on the other side of London, Wenger looked at Pekerman on the screen, and his eyes revealed amazing killing intent!
[Lao Tzu's baby, you use it like this?! γ
[I am reluctant to let him practice, do you know! ] γ
Wenger wanted to cut people.
But Chen Mo didn't know what he thought, and to be honest.
For Chen Mo, who has played a low-quality friendly match for more than a month and feels rusty, it is actually quite cool to be able to spread his legs and run wildly at this time.
Happy horse!
Chen Mo ran very well, while the American team was uncomfortable.
In the last second, Chen Mo was still fighting against the central defender in the middle, and in the next second, Chen Mo appeared on the side to block the fullback's pass!
There is Chen Mo everywhere!
It's like a ghost!
The U.S. team's passing and control ability is not strong, and at this time, it is controlling the ball on the back line, which is under great psychological pressure, coupled with Chen Mo's mad dog pressing.
As the time passed, the defenders of the American team, who wanted to hold back as much as possible, were a little unbearable, but in the end, it was the national team that could make it to the top 20 in the World Cup.
The players of the U.S. team more or less felt Chen Mo's intentions.
When facing Di Maria's pressing again, Chen Mo's ball was intercepted, and the right-back of the American team directly passed the ball diagonally to the winger, and at the same time beckoned other teammates on the back line to retreat!
Yes!
A long diagonal pass is launched, but as soon as the ball is passed, he retreats with his teammates!
The intent is obvious!
[You let me control the ball?] I don't have the ball! γ
The U.S. team doesn't think they can do anything when the Argentine defense is solid!
The idea was wonderful, but soon, the defenders of the American team were confused.
"What's the situation?! Messi retreated?! β
"Messi and Chen Mo have switched places?! Aguero went to the right side?! β
"What kind of formation is this?!"
The American full-back had just passed the ball.
Looking at the trajectory of the ball, Chen Mo, who judged the landing point, instantly shrank his pupils, and ran towards the center position as soon as possible!
With Chen Mo's running, Aguero also ran towards the right side with a slight smile, and compared to Aguero's slow half-beat awareness, the moment Chen Mo started, the right winger Messi had already retreated to the midfield!
The sudden big change of formation, the commentary looked very excited, but unlike the simple expectations of the commentary, Zidane and Beckham in the studio were also staring!
"What a sharp reaction!"
"Argentina's counterattack is coming!"
There is still 4K at night, and the code can't come out to see it
