To be honest, Arsenal have had a relatively easy start to the season.

Didn't start the game like previous seasons with either Manchester United or Liverpool and Chelsea.

In the second round of the Premier League, Arsenal's opponent was Sheffield United.

When it comes to Sheffield United, there are two people who can't be avoided, one is Sun Jihai and the other is Tiezi.

Tiezi joined Sheffield United in 06, but at the beginning of this year, Tiezi transferred from Sheffield United in the English Premier League to Chengdu Sheffield United.

Yes, Chengdu Sheffield United.

The name sounds a bit magical, because the word Sheffield, a place name, is the name of the city of Sheffield, one of the eight largest cities in the United Kingdom.

Obviously, Chengdu Sheffield United, named after both cities, is a partner team of Sheffield United.

But where the iron goes, it doesn't matter.

The important thing is that Sun Jihai moved from Manchester City to Sheffield United this year.

Not expelled from Manchester City.

It was Sun Jihai who took the initiative not to renew the contract after the contract expired.

Speaking of which, Sun Jihai is also a pity, if he is not seriously injured and is two or three years younger, then he actually has a chance to compete for the main starter of right-back in this Manchester City.

Yes, the main starters.

It sounds a bit like elevating Sun Jihai's ability, but whether he can play the main force or not sometimes depends not entirely on personal strength, but also on the staffing of the team.

Many clubs around the world are now poor full-backs, and Arsene Wenger has been digging around this summer with money swinging, but only to poach Zambrotta, who has an expiring contract and is already past his prime.

This is mainly due to the fact that there are few good full-backs, and most of them are in the big clubs.

Like Bayern's Lahm, Barcelona's Alves, and Inter's Zanetti, these are all strong, but they can't be dug at all.

Manchester City too, their left-back poached Chelsea's Ashley Cole, but the right-back is not too strong, and Sun Jihai in his heyday really has a chance to fight for the starter.

But it's a pity that Sun Jihai is Chinese New Year's Eve one today, and he will be thirty-two soon, and he has suffered several major injuries.

So he didn't stay at Manchester City, but chose Sheffield United, who could play in the starting line-up.

The confrontation between Sun Jihai and Chen Mo, there is no doubt that this game has received widespread attention from domestic fans, and before the game, Chen Mo saw a lot more reporters from the Dragon Kingdom than in other games.

However, Sheffield United's quality is too far behind Arsenal.

Sheffield United is a team between the Premier League and the Championship, and every season is either trying to relegate or going all out, and it belongs to the lowest group in the entire Premier League.

This kind of team plays Arsenal, naturally it does not dare to attack, it can only defend and counterattack, but the problem is that it is useless.

Arsenal were actually quite afraid of defensive counter-attacks last season, especially the kind of strong bursts on the flanks and then a 45-degree cross to blow up the header, but now the piggy is coming.

Piggy is not only better defensively than Rakitic, but he is also more playmaker.

After having Piggy, Chen Mo's running can become more free, and he doesn't have to be in front all the time like last season, otherwise the midfield will be disjointed, and because Piggy also takes on some organizational tasks, Chen Mo also has more time to run without the ball.

In this case, it is equivalent to further liberating Chen Mo's running ability, and sometimes he can even retreat all the way to his own back area to defend, which also makes Sheffield United's high-altitude ball tactics more difficult to work.

The high-altitude ball can't be fought for when it goes in, and it can't penetrate the iron cable of Little Brother Xiaozhu and Chen Mo when he walks on the ground.

However, Sheffield United's defense was very tough, and, perhaps because of lack of excitement, Chen Mo's form in this game was not too good, and in the end, Arsenal only won 1-0.

After the game, many Sheffield United players came to Chen Mo to exchange jerseys, but Chen Mo refused with a smile, saying that he wanted to exchange his jerseys with Sun Jihai.

There is no other meaning, the main thing is that Chen Mo really admires Sun Jihai and Fan Zhiyi, a group of national football stars who dare to fight, and how to say it, now these stars are gradually withdrawing from the stage of history, like Sun Jihai is thirty-two, and this year should be his last season in the Premier League.

There is no doubt that when Chen Mo and Sun Jihai exchanged jerseys, the Longguo reporters on the sidelines pressed the shutter frantically.

After the game, there were even many netizens who studied what the two said after hugging, and why Chen Mo kept laughing.

There are all kinds of opinions on the Internet, but Chen Mo laughed only because Sun Jihai said that he would go to the Northeast next time he returned to the Dragon Kingdom and invite him Chen Mo to eat stewed goose in an iron pot.

Four days after the defeat of Sheffield United, Arsenal thrashed visiting Newcastle 3-0 at their home stadium, the Emirates Stadium.

With three wins in a row and an overwhelming margin on the pitch, Arsenal fans were very excited, clamoring for a few more titles this year, but within a few days, everyone's attention was drawn to something else – the Ballon d'Or.

The 2008 Golden Globe Awards announced a shortlist of 20 candidates.

[Chen Mo, Messi, Ronaldo, Kaka, Torres, Casillas, Xavi, Arshavin, Bale, Di Maria, Ibrahimovic, Gerrard]

The 20-man squad is full of figures with heads and faces, but fans know in their hearts that basically only Chen Mo Messikaka and Ronaldo can compete for the Golden Ball this year.

Chen Mo won the Champions League, but the domestic league cup did not win.

Messi did not win the Champions League, but won the double of La Liga and the Copa del Rey.

As for Kaka, Kaka didn't have any accolades last season, but under Jose Mourinho, his stats exploded.

21 goals, 23 assists!

This data is extremely terrifying, you must know that the Premier League Golden Boot has more than 20 goals this year, and even Henry's Premier League Golden Boot Drogba in the 0607 season has only 20 goals! In terms of assists, he is only two less than Chen Mo.

Comprehensive goal assist, Kaka's personal data is even better than Chen Mo!

A big reason for this is that Chen Mo has helpers like Berdi Maria and Thierry Henry at Arsenal, many times he is not the penultimate pass, but the penultimate pass, and at the same time, he does not need to be strong himself in attack many times.

At Arsenal, Chen Mo's role is more often to revitalize the whole team.

This can be seen from the fact that the number of goals and assists of the whole Arsenal team is much higher than that of Manchester City.

However, last season's Kaka still belonged to a completely complete single-core team to push Manchester City into the Champions League zone, especially in the second half of the season, Kaka scored a number of key goals, and now he is the "Chen Mo" in the minds of Manchester City fans.

In this case, Kaka also has a chance to get the Golden Ball.

After all, unless it is a World Cup year, the Ballon d'Or is not entirely based on the champion as a hero, in which not only the champion is weighed, but also the player's individual performance must be weighed.

As for Cristiano Ronaldo, Ronaldo scored 31 goals last season and won the European Golden Boot.

I have to say that Ronaldo's sense of smell in front of goal is indeed historic, and this is why Real Madrid wants to buy Ronaldo, but compared to Chen Mo Messikaka, last season's Ronaldo is still a little worse.

In terms of team honors, he is not as good as Chen Mo Messi, and in terms of personal data, although he has scored 31 goals, he has only 7 assists.

In terms of statistics alone, he created 38 goals, while Kaka scored 21 goals and provided 23 assists, both in terms of the number of goals involved and the impact on the team's game, Kaka was stronger than Ronaldo last season.

However, even if you don't count Ronaldo, in October this year, who will win the Golden Ball?

There is no doubt that as soon as this list of candidates came out, fans all over the world immediately started heated discussions, and various news stories appeared every day, and in such a lively atmosphere, the days went by.

Similar to what Chen Mo thought before, Arsenal's schedule at the beginning of this season was relatively easy.

On September 13, in the 14th round of the Premier League, Arsenal challenged West Brom away.

West Brom, the team that once rejected Chen Mo in the academy, has nothing more to say.

It feels like a delivery truck.

Over the years, I have been going back and forth between the Premier League and the Championship, anyway, every time I rush to the Premier League, then I will immediately be dismembered by other teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, and the stronger players in the team will be immediately poached, and then relegated back to the Championship because of the decline in strength.

This year was similar, with West Brom's players being poached as soon as the summer window opened.

This kind of team that is not strong in itself and is still a remnant, Arsenal is naturally kneading it casually, and even Chen Mo was directly replaced after the first half 3-0 and was rested.

However, Chen Mo has no affection for West Brom, but the local fans know what happened between Chen Mo and their club, and after seven or eight years, many of the teenagers of that year are now married and will tell this story to their children.

So, when Chen Mo was sitting in the transparent plastic bench drinking water, there was a five or six-year-old white little Lori in the stands next to him and greeted him with a smile, and at the same time held a camera in his hand and wanted to take a photo with Chen Mo.

Normally, there is still a game on the field, even if the little Lori is very cute and friendly at this time, Chen Mo should not interact with the fans, otherwise he will be easily fined.

However, seeing the child, Chen Mo subconsciously thought of Kaoru Yuechi, who was now almost nine months pregnant.

didn't bother about anything, under the smiling gaze of Henry and Di Maria, who were also substituted, Chen Mo got up and walked to the stands to take a group photo with the young fans.

West Brom's stadium is the Hawthorn Stadium, which is small and has not had high stands. The little girl was held by her father's waist and leaned out with her body, and she was just able to take a photo with Chen Mo who was climbing in the stands, and this scene was also captured by the camera and projected on the big screen in the corner of the stands.

There was no doubt that there were bursts of exclamations, and the fans at the scene were laughing and applauding when the players on the field had not yet figured out what the situation was.

A small episode, after taking a group photo and rubbing Xiao Loli's white hair, Chen Mo also returned to the bench under the command of the referee with a smile.

However, what Chen Mo didn't expect was that his casual move was widely reported by various media after the game.

There is nothing to do, there is no focus on the main round of the Premier League. As a result, the morning after the game, Chen Mo received a lot of gifts at his doorstep, and many fans praised his love.

This made Chen Mo, who has always had a big heart, a little embarrassed, after all, for him, all he did was to tiptoe and smile at the camera.

After playing West Brom, the time also came to mid-September, and under the great anticipation, the Champions League group stage also started.

Arsenal are in Group G this year alongside Atletico Madrid in La Liga, Dynamo Kyiv in the Ukrainian league and Fenerbahce in the Turkish league.

There is not much pressure in this group, with Dynamo Kyiv and Fenerbahce both weaker and only Atletico Madrid playing harder.

Especially Atletico's two strikers, Sergio Aguero and Forlan.

Aguero doesn't need to say much, as for Fran

This old brother is generally used to set off how powerful Riquelme is.

He scored just 10 goals in three seasons at Manchester United, but after going to Villarreal with Riquelme, he scored 25 goals in a single season and won the European Golden Boot.

Therefore, many people say that Riquelme has the ability to turn into gold, and is the world's strongest striker who can feed a rookie striker into a golden boot, but in fact

Without Riquelme, Forlan scored 23 goals last season after switching to Atletico Madrid, and in the original timeline, Forlan will score 32 goals in 33 games next season and win the European Golden Boot.

With both Villarreal and Atletico Madrid winning the European Golden Boot, there is no doubt that Forlan is a top scorer, and Aguero, who is partnered with him, is also very strong.

To be honest, Chen Mo was quite looking forward to this game, so he called Aguero two days before the game, ready to taunt and ridicule, but the reply he got was naturally [Wait for me to overturn!] I'm going to Leo! 】。

Regarding Aguero's crazy speech, Chen Mo naturally rolled his eyes and hung up the phone.

However, two days before the match with Atletico Madrid, Chen Mo still arrived in Madrid ahead of schedule, accompanied not only by Chen Mo, but also by Kaoru Tsukichi and Klee.

For no other reason, Aguero gave Maradona's youngest daughter Gianna a big belly.

To be honest, Chen Mo was stunned when he heard the news, and what shocked him even more was that Gianna was more than three months pregnant, and Lao Ma didn't know it yet!

Having a baby and falling in love are two different concepts.

Aguero's hair is now gray, and he doesn't know how to open his mouth to propose a marriage contract to the old horse.

Aguero didn't know what to say, Chen Mo didn't care, he called Lao Ma before getting on the plane.

So, when Chen Momei and others came to Madrid, Spain, and soon arrived at Aguero's villa, there was a screeching sound of brakes at the door.

Under the gaze of Chen Mo and Messi drinking water, buttoning their cheeks, and wanting to laugh and holding back, the old horse who kicked open the door rushed into the room, and went up to the second floor with the word "traitor" written on his face like a rabbit.

I don't know what the two talked about, anyway, when Kaoru Yuechi and Gianna exchanged their feelings about pregnancy, and when Chen Mo and Messi were about to yawn when they watched the TV series, Aguero followed the old horse with a shy stomach and a proud face like a dog's legs.

There is no doubt that this reaction must have passed.

However, Aguero is proud of his love and frustrated on the professional field.

On September 18, Arsenal challenged Atletico Madrid at the Civitas Metropolitano Stadium.

There weren't too many highlights in the whole game, and Atletico Madrid in this era was not the Iron Army of the Simeone era. The strength is not too strong, the first to enter the Champions League qualification area is that Atletico Madrid's forwards have been very strong in recent years, and the second is La Liga's Villarreal and Deportivo La Coruna, which have fallen into a trough.

Strong strikers are Atletico's biggest strength, but Aguero and Forlan are not the type who are good at dropping back to get the ball and then break through, or rather, what they can do with dropping back is not top-notch.

This striker needs the support of a midfielder, and the Atletico midfielder is still going through the technical flow this year.

The technical flow of this thing, either like Barcelona to the top, or like the later Spain to be overturned, belongs to the strength of the strong can play the effect of abuse, but if the strength is similar to the opponent, although the scene can also be played very good, it is easy to score. But it's easy to roll over.

However, Atletico's players are much less skilled than Arsenal.

Under the strangulation of Little Brother Little Pig and Chen Mo, Atletico Madrid couldn't pass half the game at all.

In the thirteenth minute of the first half, Brother Xiao Ma intercepted in the backfield, and saw that Chen Mo was immediately divided into the pig on the left side after being sandwiched, and the little pig advanced through the middle circle with the ball, and after attracting the defense, he made a right front ball to find Chen Mo who used the speed advantage of the forward insertion to get the receiving route.

Then, in the exclamation of the Madrid fans in the stadium, Chen Mo, who had just received the pass, made a sharp right-footed straight plug in the 40-meter area and directly penetrated the two defenses of Atletico Madrid, and finally Henry easily pushed the goal in front of the goal.

The goal was broken in thirteen minutes, and the Atletico Madrid fans who entered the Champions League for the first time in more than ten years were wilted, and even Aguero, who was chasing all the way back, was deflated after seeing the goal again, holding his knees and panting, and a trace of helplessness rose in his heart.

is helpless, not only because Chen Mo and Arsenal are very strong, but also because he knows that Atletico Madrid's current tactical system is difficult to go far.

Why many weak teams in the Premier League play defensive counterattacks, and even sometimes give up the midfield directly, is because the technical flow has high requirements for the ability of players, not only the offensive end is high, but the defensive end is also high, but Atletico Madrid has no money to buy this kind of player, Atletico Madrid in this era is similar to Dortmund later, they are all star petri dishes, mainly relying on selling stars to make profits.

And this is one of the reasons why Atletico Madrid want to play the technical stream.

Now La Liga is dominated by Barcelona, Real Madrid is even in the trough, in this case, Atletico Madrid is basically not at a disadvantage compared to other teams, and the technical flow is easier to score than counter-attack, more goals, and the forward's data is better.

The better the data, the more money it can sell.

Of course, how Atletico Madrid plays, Chen Mo doesn't care.

This is a Champions League match, even if it is a group stage, and for every win, the team has more than one million euros in prize money.

In this case, Arsenal will not let go at all, they will definitely kick to death.

So, when the game was over, the bright red numbers of five to one also appeared on the big screen in the stands.
