The home team fell behind at their home stadium and the entire Emirates Stadium looked a little dull as the Manchester City players celebrated, with all Arsenal fans looking anxious and expectant.

England is the birthplace of modern football, and many fans here have been passed down for generations, and they all know what the main style of play is for Arsenal and Manchester City, and they also understand that Manchester City, who play defensive counter-attacks, will be more difficult to deal with when they take the lead.

However, they also have faith in Arsenal.

Anxious and expectant.

As the referee's whistle blew and Thierry Henry kicked off in the centre circle, City began to huddle at the back as before.

Draws have to attack, now behind, Arsenal naturally has no reason to shrink back, Chen Mo continues to lead the whole team to press high, but to be honest, after scoring a goal, Manchester City does have more options.

The most obvious change is that City's counter-attacks are no longer so desperate.

In the previous goal, although Manchester City scored beautifully, the two forwards Ibrahimovic and Robinho, the midfielders Yaya Toure, Kaka, Modric, and left wingback Ashley Cole all pressed it.

Only Frenkie de Jong and a back three remained at the back.

This kind of counterattack is actually very fatal, and if Kaka's long-range shot misses and Arsenal counterattacks again, then it will also be dangerous.

But now it's different.

Manchester City took the lead.

League goal difference is about the same as a college final exam, 60 points are long-lived, 61 points are wasted.

After 38 rounds of league games, it is difficult to have a goal difference, so it makes no difference for Manchester City to win by one goal or two.

And this directly leads to the fact that after the game resumes, unless it is a good opportunity, Manchester City will not press up and play a counterattack even if the ball is broken.

Especially Yaya Toure, in the counter-attacking stage, he almost no longer pressed excessively, but stayed in the backfield to cooperate with De Jong to stick to Chen Mo to prevent them from Manchester City's counterattack and Arsenal counterattacked.

It's very uncomfortable.

Chen Mo was very uncomfortable.

Yaya Toure is indeed not as fast as him in terms of speed, but in terms of physical confrontation alone, he Chen Mo can't get much advantage.

And many times their defense of Chen Mo is one person who fights and does not give the ball a chance, and one person sweeps and strangles the route to receive the ball.

It's hard to get the ball, it's even harder to keep the ball.

But fortunately, at this time, the role of the little pig is reflected.

Piggy is not a purebred playmaker, but he has a strong ability to get rid of the ball, whether it is Kaka's Magic Flute or Ibrahimovic retreating from the front line to press, Piggy can control the ball in one-on-one situations.

With the ball at their feet, the situation on the pitch is still in Arsenal's hands.

It's just that because City's tactical choices have become more conservative than before, Arsenal's attack is becoming more and more difficult to be effective.

There is no way to do this kind of thing, if you want to break the defensive counterattack, you can't do it alone, even if it is Messi's terrifying ability at the peak, Chelsea in the face of Mourinho can't break it if you want to.

What's more, Manchester City's lineup is stronger than Chelsea's, and Chen Mo's small-range passing ability is not as good as Messi's.

Now all Chen Mo can do is grind time, pull little by little, and find opportunities little by little.

It sounds a bit passive, but it's actually the best option.

In 90 minutes of a game, most of the players run an average of about 10 kilometers per game.

Ten kilometers is a running distance that is impossible for ordinary people to achieve even if they are tired and vomit, but for players. In fact, it is also very difficult.

It's okay to run 10 kilometers, but in the problem race, it's 10 kilometers in 90 minutes, and it's all kinds of switchback runs, sprint runs, emergency stops, and physical confrontations.

This is a very large consumption of physical energy, and as physical energy continues to be consumed, the player's thinking and actions will gradually change.

The most typical example is Argentina in the 22 World Cup final, the first 70 minutes were very incomprehensible, but in the last 20 minutes, as the players' physical fitness declined, the defense of the midfield began to have more and more problems.

It's either carelessness or physical exhaustion, but anyone who has run a thousand meters in school knows that it will be difficult to lift their arms, not to mention thinking, in the last 100 meters. What Chen Mo has to do now is to use more running tandem to mobilize Manchester City's defensive formation, so that Manchester City players are constantly pulled and running, constantly consuming physical energy.

Chen Mo is not in a hurry to attack, and Manchester City is not in a hurry to rush out.

Under the nervous gaze of the Arsenal fans, the entire first half ended in such a somewhat dull atmosphere.

Seeing the players of both teams leaving the field one after another, Arsenal fans were a little uncomfortable.

One by one, they either slumped in their chairs and chatted with friends, or rushed to the side of the passage and shouted that Mourinho's tactics were too ugly.

Arsenal fans are a little upset, but for the news media people, it is tantamount to a carnival.

Arsenal's dominance in recent years has been very strong, although the league has not won the championship, but I can see that Arsenal is mainly because of the lack of depth on the bench, playing in the Champions League, and in the league, Arsenal also values its home stadium very seriously.

Arsenal are unbeaten in 23 home games so far, and none of those games have come from behind in the first half.

But now Arsenal are behind Manchester City in their home half!

Moreover, although Arsenal has been controlling the ball on the field, there are not many opportunities to directly threaten the goal, including Henry's time, there are only two in total.

This kind of data is definitely not good news for Arsenal, which have always been known for their attacking toughness.

Some anxious online media have begun to post on online platforms, with topics such as "Arsenal's unbeaten home record is about to end", "The blue moon is in the sky, the Arsenal dynasty may collapse" and other topics emerge one after another.

This kind of news is highly inflammatory and antagonistic, and there is no doubt that these news posts immediately sparked a wave of discussion on the Internet as soon as they were posted.

However, the atmosphere of the discussion is not bad, Chen Mo and Ibrahimovic Magic Dika have a good relationship, everyone knows it, and Manchester City and Arsenal strictly speaking, there is no deep hatred, and the discussion between the fans on both sides is still relatively rational.

Interestingly, in addition to the game itself, many fans also focused their attention on Klee who came to watch the game.

The European female president with white skin, beautiful and long legs, and gorgeous blonde hair, is naturally a variety of YY in the comment area.

New fans who have just entered the pit are all lamenting that Arsenal has a very beautiful sexy female boss who can rush at a glance, while old fans are lamenting that Chen Mo's dog life is really good.

Chen Mo naturally didn't know the reaction of the outside world.

After entering the half-time break, sweating like rain, Chen Mo, who was wearing an Arsenal towel on his head, sat under the red No. 10 wardrobe and put an ice pack on his knees, panting and drinking water while listening to Wenger scolding Fang Yu in front of the tactical board.

Although the first half was a dull game for most of the time, and neither side had too obvious scoring chances after Manchester City's goal, there was a saying that thunder was heard in silence.

Although the first half was a dull game for most of the time, and neither side had too obvious scoring chances after Manchester City's goal, there was a saying that thunder was heard in silence.

There weren't many exciting scenes, but the physical confrontation between the two sides was actually very intense!

In particular, he Chen Mo is still Yaya Toure and De Jong, one of these two is a physical monster, and the other is known for his iron and blood defense.

Fighting against the two of them for forty-five minutes, Chen Mo's physical pressure is very high, and there is one more crucial point, in order to grasp more possession, Chen Mo basically did not stop for a moment, either passing, or on the way to run to receive the ball and then pass the ball.

Very tired, even if he was sitting in the locker room at this time, sweating like rain, Chen Mo, whose cheeks were flushed, could still hear his violently beating heartbeat, and felt the sweat slide down the relatively fair skin on the inside of his forearm to the palm of his hand.

However, Chen Mo didn't complain.

That's what the core is.

Enjoy the most compliments, enjoy the most tactical tilts, but the rights and obligations are equal.

To enjoy more praise, Chen Mo will have to bear more psychological pressure, enjoy more tactical inclination, and Chen Mo will have to bear more tactical targets from the other party.

He was now just quietly drinking water, adjusting his breathing and listening to Arsene Wenger explain the tactics.

However, when it comes to explaining tactics, there are actually no tactics to explain.

Why is the World Cup more likely to upset?

It is because the World Cup is a national team with a low run-in degree, and it is held every four years, and there are great personnel changes.

The problem brought about by large personnel changes is that there are more unknown factors, and the more unknown factors are, the more likely it is to be upset.

But the league is different.

Club to club to club to each other.

It belongs to you who knows my strengths and weaknesses, and I know your depths.

Therefore, the league game mainly depends on the overall strength of the players, the run-in between the players and the performance of the players on the field that day.

No matter how much the coach talks about these things, it's useless.

Wenger obviously knows this, so even if he is a little anxious now, after emphasizing the defensive end, he will leave more time for Chen Mo and them to rest.

It wasn't until the sound of the stadium radio came from the stadium that he walked to the door to cheer Chen Mo and them.

.

They were down by one goal in the first half and the first time in more than two decades that they had fallen behind at home.

This is a little difficult for Arsenal fans to accept, but after Chen Mo led the team on the field, the whole stadium immediately burst out of a tsunami-like cheering shout, and even Klee on the sidelines found a cardboard with his Chen Mo's big avatar out of nowhere, raised it above his head and shouted loudly.

"This girl."

Originally, it was a bit serious, but when Klee messed with it, Chen Mo also shook his head funny, and turned sideways to give the girl a confident smile and thumbs up.

There is no doubt that after this scene was projected on the big screen, it immediately caused a strange cry on the scene.

To be honest, now Chen Mo's three-person relationship with Klee and Kaoru Yuechi is actually semi-public, and fans who have a little bit of insight into Chen Mo's student days know it in their hearts.

However, this kind of thing is not a big deal for foreign stars, nightclubs here are all legally operated, Iron Man's starring Roth Downey Jr. has been arrested twice for smoking X, and even a president of a beautiful country has been in prison.

Compared to them, Chen Mo was just sprinkling water.

A hiccup passed, and soon, with the referee's whistle, the fans' attention was drawn back to the scene.

In the first half, it was Arsenal who kicked off, and in the second half, it became Manchester City.

The opening possession, but it was obvious that Manchester City, which had taken the lead, was still not ready to attack with the ball, and after a while, under the strangulation of Piggy and Little Pony, Robinho, who retreated to receive the ball, handed over the ball.

The score fell behind, and after getting the ball, Chen Mo naturally continued to lead the whole team to press.

Similar to the first half, Chen Mo still used his physical strength and speed advantage to pass and run in a continuous range, and used a one-foot pass to lead the whole team to pull Manchester City's formation.

At first, the effect was not noticeable.

After all, the game had only been played for about 50 minutes, and it had just finished halftime.

But as time went by, as Chen Mo's running range became larger and larger, and there were more and more various switchback and sprint runs, Manchester City began to feel a little uncomfortable.

First and foremost is Frenkie de Jong.

In this game, De Jong was responsible for one-on-one close entanglement of Chen Mo.

Normally speaking, although it is a one-on-one close winding, Manchester City is still based on zone defense after all, and he only needs to paste it when Chen Mo moves to his area, but in this game, Chen Mo has been chiseling him from the beginning!

De Jong consumes more energy than all the other players in Manchester City, but the problem is that De Jong can't be replaced!

Or rather, it's too risky to switch now!

"Ten more minutes!"

Looking at De Jong, who began to have physical problems on the field, and then looked at the big screen on the sidelines for 71 minutes, on the sidelines, Munirio's face was serious.

The hardness of Manchester City's midfield is supported by De Jong and Yaya Toure, if De Jong goes down, this gap can only be filled by Yaya Toure, but Yaya Toure can't fill it.

In other words, when Yaya Toure came to defend Chen Mo, Chen Mo would no longer choose to blast one-on-one, but constantly roamed left and right in the midfield.

The individual ability of the substitute players cannot form a good limit on Chen Mo, which will cause the Manchester City midfield to need more substitution, and Yaya Toure will be adjusted to the area opposite Chen Mo.

This will cause some shaky formation in Manchester City's formation.

And this shaking will also allow Arsenal to take more chances!

As the clock ticked by, Mourinho became more and more nervous.

In the seventy-seventh minute of the game, just as Mourinho breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the bench to prepare for the substitute player to play, the sudden roar of the commentator made him turn back suddenly!

"What's the situation?! De Jong rose to the top?!! Why did he choose to jump to the top of this ball?! ”

"Chen Mo takes the ball on the left side! Manchester City are in trouble! ”

The commentary yelled, and under the gaze of Mourinho who rushed to the sidelines in a hurry, with some panic, in the 77th minute of the game, Marcelo, the left fullback who mentioned the left side of the waist, was forced by Kaka to make a 45-degree oblique long pass to find Chen Mo on the right!

Move the ball over a wide area.

Good idea, but the problem is that it's too far away!

When the ball flew halfway, De Jong had already attacked, and it was a rush to meet the falling ball, trying to destroy the ball before Chen Mo received the ball, but at this time, his physical fitness had bottomed out, and Marcelo's ball had a violent spin, so it was not so easy to judge the speed and ball path!

The take-off height is not enough!

Wrong way of the ball!

In the exclamation of the fans, the ball spun directly over De Jong's head and flew to Chen Mo's chest, while at the same time, Manchester City left-back Ashley Cole also rushed up!

The momentum was menacing, but in the next second, the right eye caught a glimpse of the rushing Cole, and at the moment when the ball fell from his chest to his knee, Chen Mo raised the outer instep of his right foot and gently knocked the ball down to the crotch of Cole, who was rushing wildly.

Wear the crotch!
