Looking at Arsenal, who were retreating across the board, Xavi rarely hesitated.

And not just because Arsenal were sharp on the counter-attack.

Arsenal's current formation is indeed very strong in counterattacking ability, but their Barcelona attacking ability is just as strong, with Ronaldo on the left, Messi on the right, and Habaiya Toure in the middle.

But, this is the Champions League final!

There is a saying called "Finals No Name Game".

This is actually like the college entrance examination, most people take the exam casually in school, but when the college entrance examination is painted with the answer sheet, they will even confirm it repeatedly.

This is because of the huge psychological pressure that makes people become much more cautious than usual!

Thinking affects movements, and Xavi is Barcelona's brain, with his hesitation, the tactical tendency of the whole Barcelona team is also visibly twisted, even the Barcelona fans in the stands have discovered this, and the crowd gradually began to be restless, some people are cheering, some people are scolding.

"He's numb, but he can't relax yet."

The atmosphere on the sidelines is getting more and more restless, what the fans are clear, how can Chen Mo not know. Seeing Harvey in a state of hesitation, Chen Mo was overjoyed, and then quickly tightened.

Xavi, as the brain of the team, affects the fate of the team, at this time he bears the greatest pressure on the team, and is naturally more prone to numbness, but other players are not necessarily, especially those two guys!

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Mo will immediately focus on Xiao Luo and Messi!

Xiao Luo is an optimist, you can never see any tension in a person who runs to the Dragon Kingdom to do a promotional event, and then recruits a stepdaughter in the middle of the night, or flies coolly, but he is hungry in the middle of the night, and he has to ask his stepdaughter to buy him pizza.

And Messi. There is rarely any expression of fortitude on this guy's face, but a child with dwarfism can step by step to the top of the world, and it is impossible to do this without a strong heart!

"We must guard the two side roads!"

Without any hesitation, Chen Mo immediately called out to his teammates to pull the defensive formation slightly to the sides!

"Clever boy!"

And the moment he saw this scene, on the sidelines, Wenger clenched his fists excitedly!

Normally, the formation is pulled away to the sides, and there will definitely be a flaw in the middle, but Arsenal is now in a 451 formation, and there are a lot of midfielders, even if it is pulled away, the defense in the middle still does not have much impact.

In the face of this situation, Barcelona can only be two fullbacks completely set, and even go to the winger position to help Messi and Xiao Luo attract defenders, after all, Xiao Luo Messi is now in a state of being defended by two and one, but in this way, Barcelona's ability to resist counterattacks will become worse!

Chen Mo's command this time is tantamount to directly forcing Barcelona to a dead end!

Either the 100% defensive midfield is down, or the 100% offensive team presses, there is no option to have both offense and defense!

In this situation, not to mention Xavi on the field, even if he is Guardiola, he can't make up his mind all of a sudden!

The coach is hesitating, and the brain on the field is also hesitating!

There is no doubt that as time goes by, Barcelona is starting to play more and more uncomfortable, although Ronaldo and Messi have been trying to retreat to get the ball, but there is no way to cause damage.

The two fullbacks Gabel or Di Maria are sandwiched, and there are Rakitic or Little Pony next to them, and even if they pass the three, they will eventually have to face the Arsenal central defenders!

Three lines of defense!

In the face of this kind of iron wall, it is impossible to give Messi three legs to complete the blast on his own!

Uncomfortable!

Barcelona played very hard, and the root of all this is because, "The midfield operation is not delicate enough!" ”

On the sidelines, watching Barcelona score on the field, Guardiola rubbed his hair anxiously.

The pass control not only emphasizes the attack on the wing, but also emphasizes the various sharp runs of the needle in the middle, and then combines the side and the middle to contain each other, but now Xavi is locked in the back.

Not only because Chen Mo's pressing effect is good, but also because Yaya Toure does not have the ability to act as a metronome and guide the midfield, Yaya Toure does not do this kind of thing.

Therefore, the back of this team is Yaya Toure, but Xavi can only drag it in the back position to channel, and Xavi drags it behind, and it is not good to rely on Iniesta to press forward alone.

Of course, Yaya Toure can also press forward, but the problem is that Yaya Toure's offensive style is simple and violent, mainly directly impacting the penalty area, and does not have the effect of Tiki-Taka passing and running in a small area at the top of the arc like Habai.

If Yaya Toure and Iniesta press forward, it will be a chicken and a duck, each kicking its own.

This is where Barcelona twists now, and at the same time, this is why Chen Mo has been studying the video of Yaya Toure's game before the game, and the reason why Chen Mo dares to kick 451 and shrink back!

This Barça team's attack in the middle looks strong, but in fact it is very inconsistent, and it is not an effective attack!

If you can't threaten in the middle, Barcelona's wings will be under more defensive pressure!

"It's a pity, just give me an extra year!"

With an anxious face, Guardiola glanced at a Barcelona player on the bench with a face that looked like a big nut - Busquets!

Busquets was promoted from the Barcelona B team since he started in 06, and Busquets is also a midfielder he cultivated according to the characteristics of Xavi Iniesta and Barcelona!

The main ability is to delay the response, connect the midfield, pass the threat to speed up, and don't look at his slow movements, in fact, the ability to protect the ball is not bad.

As long as he gets on Sergio Busquets, Xavi can safely go up to the front and dance with Iniesta, and then Barcelona's midfield will be completely perfect!

The style of the ball is adapted, and the overall operation will definitely be perfect in a stress-free situation, but it is a stress-free situation!

Sergio Busquets just joined the first team from Barcelona B four months ago!

It's the Champions League final, and if Busquets plays, it's still directly against Chen Mo!

Do you know what it means to drop ten times with one force!

As a last resort, Guardiola didn't dare to let Busquets play at all!

Pep Guardiola on the sidelines was anxious and painful, while the game on the field continued.

Guardiola's analysis is indeed correct, the middle can't be opened, Rao is Barcelona's offensive is becoming more and more fierce, but it has not been able to cause effective damage, but Barcelona must create damage!

In this case, Barcelona can only overlord the bow!

In the 47th minute of the game, Barcelona right-back Alves went directly to the winger position to attract Marcelo, and at the same time, Messi retreated on the right side to get the ball.

Messi.

Bale - Little Pony - Chen Mo - Rakitic - Di Maria.

Messi is now Barcelona's biggest breaking point, there is no doubt that as soon as he retreated, Bale stuck to it as soon as possible, and at the same time, the little pony brother who was close to that side also leaned closer to the side.

Pass Bale, and Brother Xiaoma's fill-in, even if you pass Brother Xiaoma, there is a central defender brother and sister-in-law behind him to grab it for the first time.

The triple defense line is under great pressure, but in the cheers of the Barcelona fans all over the field, Messi, who got a one-on-one chance with Bale near the 45-degree angle, still straightened his upper body, licked the ball with his left foot and slowly advanced forward, while staring at Bale's feet in front of him with his eyes.

"He's going to wait! What's going on with this guy? ”

As soon as Messi's posture came out, the corner of his eye swept to the timer of 47:23, Chen Mo knew it in his heart, but at this moment, the corner of his eye suddenly swept to the middle of the road, and a huge black shadow was advancing rapidly!

Yaya Toure?!

Seeing Yaya Toure's forward insertion, Chen Mo was stunned, his eyes were full of surprise, but he did not approach Messi to fill the position for the first time, nor did he care about Yaya Toure, but stood closer to Iniesta.

"Damn! What's he doing?! ”

Capturing Chen Mo's movements, Iniesta, who was just about to step forward to the top of the arc to help make the wall, also flashed a trace of intense incomprehension in his eyes.

Messi is a left-footed right winger, relying on the inside cut, and after the inside cut, he often likes to find teammates in the top of the arc to make a wall, and then go around the arc with his left foot.

At this time, the most test of teammates is the ability to run and play the ball in a small area, and when Messi wants to cut inside, he Iniesta and Xavi are far more threatening than Yaya Toure!

But Yaya Toure stepped forward!

No team dares to step forward at the same time as all the midfielders, let alone Iniesta, even Guardiola on the sidelines was stunned for a moment after seeing Yaya Toure step forward, and then quickly rushed to the sidelines and yelled!

There is no doubt that this is not their pre-match set-up! Instead, under the high-intensity mental pressure during this time, Yaya Toure made the wrong tactical choice!

Just two seconds after Yaya Toure stepped forward, Messi also completed the escape of Bale with a left shoulder, dribbling all the way to the top of the arc.

Bolted!

The moment he got rid of Bale, the moment he was caught up by Xiao Ma laterally, Messi looked for the wall on Arsenal's front line for the first time!

What is a wall?!

To put it bluntly, A passes the ball to B, and B passes the ball to A, and this B is the wall.

This wall is critical!

Don't underestimate it, it's just a play, but just a play can make Messi be in a ballless state in that short period of less than a second, so that he can adjust the pace and cadence as he likes!

You must know that Messi's cadence is already very terrible when he is in possession of the ball, and it is even more terrifying without the ball, and he can even rely on this moment to card the opponent's cadence!

Messi's so many crotch balls are not luck, those who have played football games know that when there are defenders in front of them, most of the shots will be blocked by directly extending their legs, and Messi can wear the crotch, such as wearing the crotch Ake in the World Cup to send the eye of God, such as kicking Mexico through the crotch and kicking out a sword to seal the throat, that is to catch the opponent's cadence!

This wall is the key step to make the last step adjustment for Messi!

It can be directly understood as an amplifier!

Very critical!

But soon, Messi, who was cutting inside with the ball all the way, was stunned!

No walls!

Villa was entangled in Chiellini's death, and he couldn't stretch out his feet at all, and Iniesta, who was inserted forward, was stuck in front of Chen Mo, not to mention stretching his feet, he could only see Iniesta holding Chen Mo's hand from behind!

The only thing Messi can find is Yaya Toure, who is standing on the line of the penalty area and relying on his body to jam his brother and daughter-in-law!

Yaya Toure has space to catch the ball, but!

"He didn't have a way to get out of the ball!"

"I can't pass the ball back and forth, and he can't finish it by himself!"

"Their attack failed!"

Yaya Toure can catch the ball, but his position is too far inside to bounce off the ball!

Messi understands all this, not far away, Chen Mo also understands all this, between the lightning and flint, Chen Mo is ready to fight back, but in the next second, in Chen Mo's gradually widening eyes, a figure with long brown hair appeared at a distance of about five meters outside the top of the Arsenal arc!

Is that?!

"Puyol?!"

"Damn it!"

The moment he saw the figure clearly, Chen Mo's head was numb, without any hesitation, he directly gave up Iniesta and turned around and rushed towards the penalty area, and just a second before he turned around and sprinted, Messi, who cut the top of the arc obliquely from right to left, directly divided the ball to Puyol outside the arc, and the next second, facing the rolling ball, in the exclamation of the fans, Puyol made a sharp stop, the center of gravity pulled back, and then, the right foot was flat, and the arch of the foot pushed the ball rolling to the right!

Pick the ball!

Downspin lob!

The ball drew a rainbow in the heavy rain and hoisted directly to the right side of the Arsenal penalty area, in the direction where Yaya Toure turned and cut forward!

"Oh my God! Puyol stepped forward! Arsenal's 451 formation has no one to defend Barcelona's defenders! Will playing 451 be the worst decision Chen Mo made in this game?! ”

"Leave that alone! Puyol lobbs! Yaya Toure step forward! Thiago Silva couldn't stop him at all! ”

In the exclamation of the fans of the whole stadium, the ball fell to the right side of the Arsenal penalty area!

The ball flies in the sky, Yaya Toure chases on the ground!

Also rushing towards the ball was Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia!

The whole stadium was boiling in an instant, but the ball was only halfway flying.

"Damn knees!"

"He's got a big ball!"

The moment he saw the trajectory of the ball, Puyol gritted his teeth and turned back to defend as soon as possible!

Puyol, like Ramos, was an early full-back with passing ability, but he suffered a cruciate ligament injury in his right knee in the first half of the season.

Of course, the injury was not serious, and he returned to the field after a two-month break, but the impact of the injury is still there!

Just kidding, even Chen Mo went through hellish rehabilitation training and plug-ins to fully recover, not to mention him Puyol, and this kind of hanging ball under the high pressure formation, one less point of force will be cleared, and one more point of force will be pounced by the goalkeeper, which is a great test of foot skills!

And obviously, he didn't pass the ball well!

Very strange situation!

The whole Barcelona was pressing, and the whole Arsenal team was also retreating, but Chen Mo and Puyol were rushing in the opposite direction like fish against the current, and as the ball fell, the audience erupted in earth-shattering exclamations again!

"Beautiful! Goalkeeper Almunia attacked and grabbed the ball one step ahead of Yaya Toure! Barcelona's attack is dissolved! Wait a minute! What's the situation?! Why did Chen Mo appear there?! ”

'Arsenal's counter-attack is coming!!

The audience exclaimed, under the gaze of everyone's wide eyes, goalkeeper Almunia wanted to make a long pass with his feet for the first time, but as soon as he took two steps forward with the ball, Yaya Toure was in front of him!

Don't give the ball!

Yaya Toure stared at the ball in Almunia's hand, ready to let go of the ball and prepare a long pass, he would raise his big black leg and stretch his foot to destroy!

"Damn it!"

Seeing Yaya Toure's movements, Almunia was anxious on his face!

Chen Mo was already rushing to the middle line at this time, and he didn't have any strong hand throwing skills!

You can't throw your hand that far, but you can't drive it out with your big foot!

Anxious!

The egg hurts!

And at this moment, the corner of his right eye caught a figure retreating from the side!

Di Maria, wearing Arsenal's red and white No.11 shirt, is waving anxiously on the right flank!
