Chapter 458: Real Madrid! (Ask for subscription!!) )
In the first leg of the bloody abuse of Inter, Chen Mo did cause a wave of public opinion again after the game.
However, football information has always come and gone quickly, and within a few days, the direction of the football topic has changed.
The object of discussion among all fans has changed from Chen Mo to Barcelona.
Yes, Barcelona.
Although this year's Barcelona is also in the rebuilding stage, to be honest, there is not much run-in between Guardiola and Barcelona.
The older Puyol Xavi is his former team-mate, and the younger Iniesta Messi is his protégé.
The place that needs to be run in is more about personnel matching.
This kind of debugging will only affect the upper limit of the team's performance, but the overall style and framework have come out, and the strength is still good.
So, after Arsenal bloodied Inter Milan 6-1, Barcelona also bloodied the old powerhouse Celtic of the Scottish league 5-0 at Camp Nou.
5-0 in the knockout rounds of the Champions League!
This is a big win in the absolute sense of the word!
But what's even more terrifying.
Barcelona had 85% possession in this game!
What is this concept?!
It is equivalent to the Celtics being beaten for 90 minutes!
There's no fight back at all!
Celtic is not a negative game!
They're fighting hard!
According to the post-race statistics, Celtic ran an average of 11.7km in this game.
What is the concept of this number, in Arsenal, which has the physical ability to blame Chen Mo, the average running distance of the whole team is a little larger than this number.
There is no doubt that Celtic are desperate, but they still can't get the ball!
Barcelona striker Ronaldo on the left side, false No. 9 Messi, right winger Villa.
Midfielder, left midfielder Xiaobai, right midfielder Xavi,
There's a Yaya Toure hanging from the back!
Under this lineup, the Celtics grabbed all over the game, but Mao couldn't touch it.
There is no doubt that through this Champions League knockout match, Guardiola and his unfledged Dream Three Barcelona have shown the world for the first time what is called extreme [Tiki-Taka]
Chen Mo naturally watched this game, but . .
His reaction was not as great as that of the outside world.
He and Messi are iron buddies, and they were cultivated by Guardiola, so he naturally knows what style of football this Barcelona team will play, and he also has a rough estimate of the strength.
So, this match did not shock him, on the contrary, he was a little disappointed.
For no other reason, this Barcelona team is not yet complete in his opinion, or it still has a more fatal weakness - the back.
Previously, Barcelona's starting midfielder was Yaya Toure.
Yaya Toure is characterized by explosive physical fitness, large coverage area, active running, delicate foot feeling in the same height, and strong longitudinal impact.
These are all great qualities, but these things are useless for Barcelona except for the fact that they cover a large area.
At this time, Barcelona sold Eto'o in advance, and at the same time, Henry also won the Champions League and did not transfer to Barcelona.
Without Samuel Eto'o and Thierry Henry, there is no doubt that Barcelona would not have been able to play the more vertical style of play that they had in the original time and space.
After correcting Messi, Barcelona has completely moved towards the road of extreme transmission and control.
Yaya Toure is a top midfielder, but he is not suitable for passing, his running ability and passing ability are not top, once he encounters a top team, Barcelona's midfield operation is likely to be stuck.
What Chen Mo understands, Guardiola naturally understands better, so now Yaya Toure is no longer Barcelona's absolute starter, but a little guy named Busquets is playing more and more.
However, Yaya Toure is not suitable for the style of play, this Busquets is still too young, although because Guardiola was trained from La Masia, the style of play is very suitable, but the experience and skills are lacking in all aspects.
When you run into a team like Arsenal that focuses on attacking midfield, it will explode.
If he really encounters this Barcelona team that looks fierce, but in fact still has obvious shortcomings, Chen Mo does not have much pressure, and it is Liverpool that really makes Chen Mo feel pressure.
Now Liverpool can be described as strong.
Forwards Crouch and Torres are grouped up with a high and fast double arrow.
Midfielders Steven Gerrard, Marcos Alonso, Junior French and tall midfielder Sissoko.
This midfield lineup is very fierce, with top stars in every position, and the attack and defense are balanced, and the style of play is suitable.
Chelsea was beaten twice in the league, with one win and one draw against Manchester United, and Schalke 04 in the first game of the Champions League against the Bundesliga also won easily 3:0.
If you want to say that Chen Mo wants to touch the opponent most in this Champions League, it is this Liverpool team!
Expect!
However, now that the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 has not started, Chen Mo is useless in a hurry, so he can only live honestly.
On the weekend of February 26, in the 27th round of the Premier League, Arsenal hosted the visiting Fulham.
Fulham are not a strong team, and perhaps it was Bale who made a name for himself after scoring a brace in the first leg of the Champions League, and Di Maria was also stimulated a little, and the game was played very aggressively, like a chicken blood.
Brush!
The data is swiped!
Before the end of the first half, Arsenal took the lead thanks to Di Maria's brace and two goals.
Two balls turn red.
Chen Mo was directly sent off by Wenger on the spot and replaced by Nasri.
A week later, it will be the second leg of the Champions League, and the first leg is 6-1, and there is no suspense in the second leg.
Mainly because .
Manchester City have their eye on Nasri.
There's now a quote of eighteen million.
It's a big number, but Wenger wants more.
Nasri is indeed very good, and Arsenal's attacking firepower is still strong after coming on the pitch.
However, Chen Mo and Nasri don't have a good relationship, he doesn't care if Nasri goes or stays, and after the game, he just chatted with Henry on the bench.
Yes, Henry's injury was fine a few days ago.
But to be on the safe side, Arsene Wenger didn't start him in this game either.
Henry didn't say anything special about this.
He really has no desires now, his career is complete, he has a daughter and money, and he is divorced from his wife.
It doesn't matter if you can start or not.
As soon as Chen Mo returned to the bench, he chattered and said something to Chen Mo [, I had an egg knife yesterday!] 【The guild accepted another priest girl yesterday】Yunyun.
It wasn't until the 60-plus minutes of the game that Arsene Wenger stepped into the bench and brought Henry on for Giroud.
Yes, for Olivier Giroud.
Henry, who is almost 32 years old this year, has begun to decline in terms of speed and explosiveness, but Henry is a typical all-round striker, who can play as a winger but also as a fulcrum center.
He has a strong ability to fulcrum on his back, but in the past he had a stronger desire to score, unless it is in the French national team that is particularly short of big center forwards, more often he does not like to be at the front to be a green leaf for his teammates.
But now it's different, he, Henry, has become a Buddha.
It's a bit like Messi in Paris, he really doesn't have any pursuit of data, as long as he can help the team, he can do anything.
That's a good thing!
Although Giroud is conscientious, but to be honest, Henry's role is much greater than Giroud's!
Henry can not only be a fulcrum, but also has the ability to blast at a single point!
Bale, Henry, Di Maria, and Chen Mo in the back.
Who can stop this offensive combination?!
It's just a four-man offensive combination, and the ball is not easy to distribute.
Even if it is MSN, basically the possession of the ball is at the feet of Messi and Neymar, not to mention Suya, even Rakitic They don't have much possession at all.
Bale is fine, but Chen Mo, Henry and Di Maria are all big players in eating the ball!
One ball is simply not enough to kick!
Someone has to delegate power.
Among the three, the one who concedes can only be Di Maria, but Di Maria is a winger with the characteristics of a forward midfielder, and the lethality of the ball is greatly reduced, so Wenger has never used this formation before.
But now it's different, Henry Liver!
Started to make more balls for teammates with their backs, more off-ball runs to eat cakes, and no longer retreated to take the ball as before.
Arsenal's attacking combination instantly became harmonious because of Henry's Buddhist system!
"I don't know who the opponent is in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, but whoever faces our attacking lineup will probably go crazy."
Looking at Henry who was on the field with his back to make a wall for Di Maria, and then quickly turned around and slammed into the door wall to grab a point, but unfortunately his legs were short, and he got up to give a thumbs up, the look of expectation in Chen Mo's eyes became more and more intense.
.
Time flows.
With Thierry Henry's return and the start of a switch to centre-forward, Arsenal's attacking firepower has grown stronger day by day.
After beating Fulham in the 27th round of the Premier League, Arsenal faced Charlton Athletic and Portsmouth in early March.
Two wins, both of which are big wins with more than three goals!
I have to say that with the addition of Henry, Arsenal's offensive firepower has been completely liberated, and every game is like an exhibition game in the eyes of Arsenal fans!
The atmosphere in London is getting hotter!
On such a day, on March 9, the day after Chen Mo celebrated Women's Day for Yuechi, Inter Milan came across the river and the sea.
To be honest, when he was in the players' tunnel, Chen Mo actually felt very sorry for Ibu.
It's a plane again, it's a bus again, and it's a game that can't be won.
Lost five goals in the first leg, what is the concept.
That is to say, Inter will have to score six goals at the Emirates Stadium in this game, and they will have to win to advance!
It is almost impossible for Pele to play this kind of result when he puts a team.
However, although the first round was bloodied against Ibu, Ibu is good here.
He's conceited and narcissistic, but unlike someone, he's not bad.
The night before the competition, he also specially took some nutritional products to Chen Mo's house to visit Kaoru Yuechi.
With nutritional supplements in his hand, he said that he would definitely take revenge in the future.
In this regard, Chen Mo had no choice but to smile and shake his head, saying that it was impossible.
It really can't be.
In the second leg of the game, at Arsenal's home stadium, the more than 60,000 seats in the stadium were all Arsenal fans, and there were only a few die-hard Inter fans scattered around.
That's it, it's because Chen Mo let go of his hand in the second half, otherwise maybe it would be another tragedy.
The two-legged 8-1 slaughter of Inter Milan caused another round of heated discussions after the game!
Soon, though, the fans' attention switched again!
Not long after the end of the second leg, the list of Champions League quarter-finals matchups is also out!
Barcelona vs Manchester United.
AC Milan vs Liverpool.
Chelsea vs Roma.
Arsenal vs Real Madrid.
As soon as this matchup table came out, the fans were directly boiling!
Except for the games between Chelsea and Roma, there are not many heads, and the others are full of stalks!
Especially the Barcelona vs Manchester United, and Arsenal vs Real Madrid matches!
Barcelona has nothing to say about Manchester United, since Ronaldo was completely by Chen Mo, many Ronaldo fans suddenly turned the finger and pointed the finger at Messi!
said that Messi won the World Cup by holding Chen Mo's thigh, and won the Champions League by holding Xiao Luo's thigh, if Ronaldo grew up in La Masia and has Barcelona teammates, he is definitely stronger than Messi!
This output directly confused Messi fans who ate melons at that time.
As a result, Messi fans, who experienced the feelings of Chen Mo's fans back then, rose up to resist.
But to be honest, the offensive firepower of Messi fans is really not good.
Obviously, the results are crushed and the data is crushed, but they are actually at a disadvantage in terms of firepower, and it is only after some of Chen Mo's fans join in that they begin to be evenly matched.
The two sides have been scolding each other on the Internet for a long time, and now that they meet in the Champions League knockout round, it must be enemies who meet each other.
In addition to Barcelona and Manchester United, the match between Arsenal and Real Madrid is also full of topics!
Chen Mo VS Modric!
But it's said to be VS Modric, but actually.
Modric's transfer to Real Madrid this time, so far, is not too successful.
Modric went to Real Madrid to play the big core, and Real Madrid's coach Capello also promised to do so, but unfortunately, he joined Real Madrid on the front foot, and Capello stepped down on the back foot.
German coach Schuster took over and began to bring in Dutch players Ruud van Nistelrooy, Robben, Sneijder, Drenthe and Huntelaar at Real Madrid.
The Dutchmen are dirty on the ball, but honestly, they are very united.
At that time, Barcelona's Dutch gang led by Van Gaal directly gave Riquelme, and Saviola, who was worth 30 million euros in 00, was on the bench.
Now Real Madrid is similar, in this case, Modric naturally can't play the core of the midfield, and his main responsibility is still to guide the front and back courts, and drag them back.
However, Sneijder, who snatched his core position, is indeed super strong.
In parallel time and space, Sneijder won the Champions League for 10 years, the Italian Cup for 10 years, and the Serie A championship for 10 years, and was one of the biggest contributors to Inter's treble that year.
There is no doubt that Sneijder is indeed one of the top midfielders of this era, and it is not just Sneijder.
Real Madrid's squad is very strong overall.
Up front are Raul and Ruud van Nistelrooy.
In midfield, the Magic Flute, Sneijder and Diarra were played.
At the back, Heinze, Cannavaro, Pepe and Sergio Ramos are at the back.
Goalkeeper Casillas.
On the bench are Higuain, Robben, Robinho and others!
Such a star-studded Real Madrid is about to meet Arsenal in the quarter-finals of the Champions League!
There is no doubt that fans around the world are already looking forward to it before the game even starts!
In this atmosphere of great anticipation, the days slipped away day by day.
After back-to-back victories over Bolton, Middlesbrough and Wigan Athletic to secure third place in the league with seven straight wins, March is behind us and April is here.
Thursday, April 3, 2008.
As an airplane with the Emirates logo soars into the sky from London Airport, Arsenal's away match against Real Madrid in the quarter-finals of the 0708 Champions League is about to start at the Bernabeu Stadium.
