With the 2-0 defeat of Uruguay, Argentina, who won two games in a row in the group stage, also locked a place in qualifying.

Normally, the second in the group plays the first in the group, and Argentina does not dare to relax in the third game at this time, but the reason why the Copa America is always criticized for not having enough gold is because there are not many strong teams.

This year's edition is even more so.

As long as it doesn't hit Brazil in the quarterfinals, it's actually the same for anyone.

It's okay to even crash into Brazil ahead of schedule.

For Argentina, which just won the World Cup last year and has not changed much, if it can't win the Copa America this time, it will be a failure, and to win the championship this year, Brazil will always be unable to get around.

In line with this idea, Chen Mo played with Messi for more than 60 minutes in the third game of the group stage against Colombia, and then two goals turned red and Pekerman was sent off.

It's not that it helps Chen Mo and Messi save physical energy, there is more than half a month between the start time of the Copa America and the Champions League final, and there is no problem with Chen Mo and Messi's physical reserves.

The main thing is that Pekerman wants Di Maria and Aimar to find a feeling.

Di Maria is a left-footed player with an in-cut dribble on the long board, so the most suitable position for him is a right winger, but there is still a big gap between him and Messi.

In the national team, unless Messi plays in the midfield, Di Maria can only play as a left winger who has no good candidates in Argentina if he wants to start.

Playing in an unfamiliar position, and his skills have not reached the level of perfection in his thirties, Di Maria is naturally a little awkward, so Pekerman wants him to attack more with the ball and find a feeling.

As for Aimar, it's not that the style of play doesn't match, Pekerman just wants him to find more feeling.

Aimar, who was still in the River Plate team in the early days, is actually the same as Riquelme and them, and they are all organization-oriented big core forwards, but Aimar landed in the first stop in Europe and went to Valencia, which played defensive counterattacks.

There was no need to have too much possession of the ball under the defensive system, so Aimar was transformed from a midfielder to a shadow striker by Valencia coach Benitez at the time.

The effect of the play is not bad, but after returning to the national team, because of Chen Mo, Messi, Di Maria, Crespo (Aguero), this attacking group is already very strong, so the position of Aimar in the national team has become a central midfielder.

The function is somewhat similar to the kind of midfield support that Luka Modric did at Arsenal.

The main task changed from attacking to tandem front and back.

Of course, Aymar played in this position to great effect, otherwise Argentina would not have won the World Cup last year, but after all, it is a different position from the club in the past year, and Aimar needs more touches to find form.

Chen Mo and Messi, the two big cores, went off the field, and the tactical system on the field became to help Di Maria and Aimar practice proficiency, and Argentina naturally had little dominance in this case.

Finally, in the final stage of the second half, Colombia scored two goals in a row to equalize the score.

With three group games, two wins and one draw, Argentina qualified as group winners and will face Paraguay in the quarterfinals three days later.

Sign up!

After getting the news, the forefoot was sat down by Yuechi Kaoru in the hotel, and Chen Mo, who was doing sit-ups, was stunned.

I thought that after entering the knockout round, I would meet stronger opponents, but I didn't expect it

Paraguay, whose name is only one word different from Uruguay, is perennially in the top 15 of FIFA's rankings, while Paraguay is currently ranked 47th internationally.

The opponent is not strong, but the quarterfinals are a single-game knockout match.

The world champion may be defeated by Saudi Arabia, and Chen Mo is not careless, and is still preparing seriously.

However, soon after the quarterfinals came out, Kaoru Tsukichi was ready to leave Venezuela for the Dragon Kingdom.

What she wrote was favored by a certain studio and was going to be adapted into a TV series.

At that time, Kaoru Yuechi shouted happily when she received the call, and Chen Mo was also stunned for a long time after getting the news.

raised his eyebrows and said strangely, [Are you sure that the studio didn't find the wrong book with the same name and author?] 】。

As soon as these words came out, the ending was naturally to be locked by Kaoru Tsukichi with her thighs.

Locked and locked, the two were locked all the way to the bed, and the throat lock also changed from Yuechi Kaoru's thigh Chen Mo's neck to Chen Mo's hand, Yuechi Kaoru's neck.

This time, Kaoru Tsukichi must have been going for more than a week or two, so both of them worked very hard that night, and the next day Kaoru Tsukiike was a little uncomfortable when he went to catch the plane.

Filming TV series is a matter of the entertainment industry, Chen Mo doesn't understand, but he is not worried.

There are many people in the Dragon Kingdom who have the strength to provoke him Chen Mo, but rich people are not fools, in the absence of grievances or entanglements of interests, those top bigwigs will offend people for no reason when their heads are squeezed by the door, after all, he Chen Mo is now a rich and powerful man.

With Klee and Kaoru Tsukichi leaving one after another, Chen Mo's daily life outside of training has become boring.

In the evening, I wanted to go to the cafeteria to add food and find Messi together, but Messi was watching TV on the sofa with Antonella.

Looking for Di Maria, it turned out that after chatting for two sentences, he lay on his side on the bed, his mouth was perfunctory, and his body just didn't move.

Little Pony Crespo and they are fine, but these "old people" live very regularly, and when Chen Mo ran to knock on the door, they had already changed into pajamas and were ready to sleep.

What the hell!

How do you feel like you're suddenly isolated from the whole world?!

Strange feelings welled up in my heart.

But it didn't last long.

The intensive schedule of the America's Cup soon allowed Chen Mo to draw all his attention back to the game.

The final game of the group stage was played on July 6, and Argentina faced Paraguay at the Stadio Barquesi on July 8.

Although it is said to be the quarterfinals, before the game started, all the news media were unanimously optimistic about Argentina, and the bookmaker even offered ultra-high odds of 1 to 21.

There's nothing you can do, this Paraguay team is really not strong.

In the original historical line, the Paraguay team was beaten 6-0 by Mexico, and Mexico was beaten 3-0 by Argentina, which did not have Chen Mo and did not correct Messi, in the semifinals.

Although there are many upsets in football, the reason why upsets are big news is because they are too rare.

And so it is.

Just nine minutes into the game, Argentina took the lead.

This goal is Chen Mo and Aimar switched positions to the left midfield to complete the breakthrough, attracting a large number of defenders and then suddenly passing the ball to the right side to get a one-on-one opportunity Messi, who did not hesitate, after receiving the pass, he directly shook off the Paraguayan fullback diagonally into the penalty area, and then pushed the far corner with his left foot.

One to zero.

After this goal, many spectators like Henry and Xavi who just watched the game to pass the time chose to change the channel.

Paraguay is playing against the back, while the knockout round is a one-game winner, which also means that Paraguay must attack.

The big ass squatting at the edge of the penalty area can't be prevented, and the attack is naturally even more unguardable, and what is even more fatal is that this goal is too early.

If Argentina scored in sixty or seventy minutes, then Paraguay would have felt better, after all, the physical fitness of many Argentine players at that time was also worn out.

The decline in physical fitness can lead to distorted movements and a deviation in mental judgment, and at that time, Paraguay may be able to do a miracle by rushing out and kicking.

But now the game has just begun, and the Argentine players are full of fitness, and in the face of Paraguay, who was forced to play, they directly played passing.

And when he saw the passing and control cooperation played by Argentina, Guardiola in front of the TV looked at Chen Mo with eyes full of desire and helplessness!

Transmission control!

The passing control led by Chen Mo is not the kind of high-level pressing control that Chen Mo learned in La Masia before, but a kind of extremely open passing control that pulls the team's formation deeply!

At the front of the Argentine team, led by Messi Aguero Di Maria, the forward line went directly to the area 30 meters away from the Paraguayan goal.

Normally, the three of them will be offside in this situation, but the problem is that these three are all players with a strong sense of running and rarely offside, so Paraguay does not dare to give space behind them, and can only be pressed by the three of them in the backfield.

And the back of the Argentine team, the back line composed of Zanettiaya LS Muels Calioni, is directly located about ten meters in front of the Argentine penalty area!

Go to the Paraguayan penalty area, then go to your own penalty area!

In the shocked eyes of countless coaches around the world, Argentina is like a big net stretched to the limit, completely covering the entire stadium!

It's a double-edged sword!

The advantage is that the players are more open and can kite the defenders better, but the problem is that the formation is too open.

The pass success rate will definitely drop, and if you make a mistake in passing and receiving the ball and the defender gets stuck before the ball is out, then the stuck player will be isolated.

But!

That's why Pep Guardiola is eager for Chen Mo!

Chen Mo is so special that he can run!

Good physical fitness, fast speed!

Isn't it because the distance is too long, and the pass is easy to miss?

It's okay, Chen Mo just runs a few more steps to shorten the distance!

And Chen Mo's ability to protect the ball is still strong, what are the benefits of this?

The advantage is that he can hold the ball first under the pressure of the defender, wait for his teammates to run out of the space to catch the ball before passing, or even break through one-on-one with the ball, attract other defenders to wrap it up and then divide the ball!

In Guardiola's eyes, Chen Mo is more attractive than banknotes!

But in the eyes of the Paraguayan coach, Chen Mo is a big monster.

Chen Mo's style of play can't be prevented.

It's not that it can't be defended, to be precise, it can't be defended with the strength of Paraguay's players.

If you want to defend Chen Mo under this system, you can only be a top player to follow up.

But in today's football, not to mention the prevention of death, there are only a few midfielders who can limit Chen Mo one-on-one, and there are only a few people such as Essien, Vieira, and Alonso.

In desperation, the Paraguayan coach had no choice but to adopt [shark cutting tactics].

What is Shark Slashing Tactics?

This is a tactic in the NBA, mainly because the big shark O'Neal was too dominant under the basket back then.

That big fat butt, not to mention one defense, two people can't hold it, but because O'Neal's free throw shooting rate in the early days of the Lakers was very stretched, many coaches let players foul as soon as O'Neal got the ball under the basket and sent O'Neal to the free throw line.

However, free throws are all appearances, and they are essentially a helpless tactic.

Now on Chen Mo, the price paid by Paraguay is yellow cards and substitutions.

Under the instructions of the Paraguayan coach, the players who defended Chen Mo began to fight with their bodies, even if Chen Mo didn't take the ball, it would be squeezed around Chen Mo!

Consume Chen Mo's physical energy!

And once Chen Mo wanted to break through, he would immediately foul and put him down!

As a result, what was originally a mediocre game with a huge disparity in strength has become a classic battle in the mouths of countless people later.

Why classic?

Paraguay used three substitutions in the whole game, and all the people who replaced were players opposite Chen Mo!

One-for-four!

Chen Mo alone let four Paraguayan players bear yellow cards, and because Paraguay has been playing against him, the more he plays, the more excited he becomes, the more excited he is, the higher the frequency of running, and the faster he runs!

All kinds of switchback runs, sprint runs, the Uruguayan player who started to defend him was carried off the field on a stretcher in the 37th minute of the game because of this too violent action, and the second relay guy also ran for more than 70 minutes and couldn't hold on to the game!

The three substitutions were all used on Chen Mo, Messi and Di Maria were naturally like fish in water, and the Paraguayan players did not dare to make too much defensive moves against them, and in the end, the score was fixed at 8-0!

Slaughter!

There was no doubt that there was another big news in the news after the game, but Paraguay was only ranked 49th in the international rankings, and Brazil on the other side also thrashed Chile 7-0, so the match against Argentina did not cause much discussion on the morning after the game.

But!

With the founding of the Golden Ball Award, the media "French Football" released a statistical statistic about Chen Mo's game, and the whole football world completely exploded!

.

[French football: 18.7 km, 134 sprints, 82 defensive presses, 27/31 ground duels, 7/7 aerial duels, 3 fouls, 18 fouls, 2 lost balls. 】

[Argentina Ole newspaper: 18.7 kilometers! The heart of a champion that never stops! Iron wings of the Pampas! At three o'clock yesterday afternoon, Chen Mo ran a terrifying 18.7 km in the race against Paraguay! In the entire history of football, the person closest to Chen Mo from a physical perspective is only Beckham in 2001, and Beckham's running distance that year was only 16.1 kilometers! 】

[The Times: Professor's Fury!] Arsene Wenger said in an interview this morning that if Argentina manager Pekerman dares to use this tactic again, then he will take the first batch of flights to Venezuela to fight Pekerman to the death! 】

[Longguo Sports News: The national football team must learn from Chen Mo's courage to work hard and be positive! 】

[Nikkan Sports: One for four! ] Mossan, 戦争の神!! 】

[South Korea MS News: Chen Mo and Park Ji-sung both have physical fitness that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve! 】

[German Kicker: If Bayern want to regain their former dominance, they should join the fight for Chen Mo this summer.] Of course, everyone knows that Chen Mo is the flag of Arsenal, but what if? There is no doubt that having Chen Mo's team is equivalent to owning the next era. 】

Normally, apart from goal assists and key game wins, fans and media generally don't focus too much on other stats of players, but.

This data is still terrifying.

Extremely terrifying data, with the announcement of French football, the entire world football directly caused a major earthquake.

Countless media and fans in the outside world frantically touted Chen Mo's awesomeness, but in fact, after this game, Chen Mo was not chic.

With the help of the team doctor, he applied ice and various ointments to treat the bruises on his body, and Chen Fei's phone call came in.

The opening is [You want to scare Lao Tzu to death? 】

There is no doubt that this overly violent game and Chen Mo's overly rigid rebound scared Chen Fei who was far away in the Dragon Kingdom.

However, Chen Fei himself is also a lawless character, so he didn't say much, just scared him to play like this again, he would have a cerebral hemorrhage.

Chen Mo could only smile and agree.

As soon as Chen Fei's phone hung up, Kaoru Yuechi's phone came in again.

The two have known each other since childhood, met and then fell in love, and have been together for seven years, and every time they were in London, Yuechi Kaoru helped Chen Mo deal with various bruises and help with massage, so he didn't say much, just explained what medicine to use after returning to the hotel.

After chatting about the medicine, I didn't see each other for two days, and I missed it very much, so naturally I was pulling Chen Mo to make porridge on the phone.

This pot is more than two hours.

When Chen Mo hung up the phone, there were already seventy-three notifications on his phone

Arsene Wenger missed seventy-two.

Klee only has one, and it's a text message.

[Wash it up, sister, I'll come over tomorrow morning].

Today's scum is more ~

I'm a waste~

Then, fight for improper waste from tomorrow!
