Chapter 519: Invincible Big Martin!
Chen Mo is a person with a very weak idol plot, since he started playing football, he has almost no idols, but there is no worship plot, which does not mean that he does not appreciate the players.
As a post-85 generation, as long as you watch football, there are probably few people who don't like Da Luo.
However, when Chen Mo saw Da Luo stepping off the plane at the airport, there was still some embarrassment in his eyes.
The young man who was in Japan seven years ago and said to himself that "you are the shining stars of the future of football" has now entered middle age, and has just suffered a devastating injury that has only been suspended for nine months, and the whole person's spirit is completely different from that year.
Not only Da Luo, but Vieira who came down after Da Luo.
Vieira is 32 years old this year, and for players like Xavi, 32 is even in his prime, but for Vieira he has reached the tail end of his prime.
But it doesn't matter, as the two old friends got off the plane, Chen Mo stepped forward to give a hug as soon as possible.
There is no doubt that the meeting of the three immediately led to a crazy shooting next to the Arsenal team newspaper and Nike photographers.
Yes, Nike's photographers.
This transfer of Da Luo is not only promoted by Da Luo's agent behind the scenes, but also Nike, after all, Da Luo is also a star under Nike.
It's just that Nike actually didn't make much effort, because Arsenal was indeed short of an orthodox center, and AC Milan also wanted to shoot.
Accompanied by a group of staff, the three of them talked and laughed and walked towards the parking lot.
There was no surprise, when the three of them appeared in the airport hall, all passers-by at the entire London airport were shocked, and all kinds of [Houli Crab] [Oh Mai Ka] floated out around.
Of course, there are also many Arsenal fans who got the news in advance and came to pick up the airport.
Hearing many fans waving Arsenal's small flags and enthusiastically shouting "Patrick", Padelic Vieira couldn't help but feel a little sour in his nose.
He had a really hard time for a few years.
At that time, because he wanted to continue to play the core, but Wenger wanted to give the core identity to Chen Mo, he Vieira chose to leave Arsenal and join Juventus.
This is normal, Vieira was only 28 years old that year, which belonged to the peak of the peak, and Chen Mo had just landed in the Premier League for a year, and it was impossible for any player to accept to give Chen Mo a hand in the face of the situation at that time.
As a result, I didn't expect that after joining Juventus, the second year was the phonegate incident, and Juventus was relegated to Serie B.
It was a devastating blow to Vieira.
His golden age is at most before the age of 30, when he goes to Juventus at 28, according to his idea, it is to grind for a year, and then the next year, with the age of 29 to make a last fight.
But the following year Juventus were relegated.
When I went to Inter again, it was already 30, and it started to go downhill, so I could only assist others.
To be honest, when he came back this time, he was actually ready to be booed by the Arsenal fans, after all, he was proud to go out, but he would come back after his nose was blue and his face was swollen, but he didn't expect the entire airport to chant his Vieira's name at this time.
Very moved, however, Vieira, who is more than 1.9 meters old, has red eyes, and wants to cry and is constantly holding back, which is actually quite scary, and directly gave a little Lori who was riding on his father's head next to him and waving a small flag to cry.
So, under the snickering gaze of Chen Mo and Da Luo behind him, Vieira hurriedly comforted him.
In the end, it was the little Lori who rode on Vieira's head, and Da Luo and Chen Mo stood next to him to complete the group photo, and after giving two lollipops, the little Lori with pear blossoms and rain broke into tears and laughed.
An interesting vignette didn't take much time.
There was no reception banquet in London, and after leaving the airport, Chen Mo took the two of them directly to the club.
Now neither of them has actually joined Arsenal, and they need to do a follow-up medical examination to make sure that there are no moths before signing the contract, and then taking a photo with Wenger with the jersey.
And as the trio's car drove into the Arsenal club, looking at the newly renovated courtyard, the building, the independent gym and the lawn in the distance, not to mention Da Luo, even Vieira was shocked.
The big eyes looked at everything gorgeous outside the window, and the face was full of incredulity.
This is also normal, when Vieira left Arsenal, although Arsenal overturned Manchester United in the Premier League, Arsenal at that time had no money at all and still owed a lot of debt.
Whether it was the club building or other infrastructure, Arsenal at that time was actually relatively poor.
But now it's different.
Arsenal have money, and Klee bought Arsenal wholly owned.
For her own private property, Klee, who is also not short of this money, is naturally renovated and newly built, and even the Emirates Stadium, Klee has the idea of expanding again, after all, the Emirates Stadium can only accommodate 60,000 spectators now.
This number is not small, but compared with the Bernabeu with 80,000 people, the Camp Nou with 100,000 people, Klee, a strong woman who likes "giants", always feels that the Emirates Stadium is still a bit petty.
It's just that because the Emirates Stadium has only been built for less than two years, Klee has not started construction directly.
Led the two through Arsenal's historic hallway of honour, and soon the trio arrived at Arsene Wenger's office.
Arsene Wenger is now the most decorated coach in the world with three Champions League titles in hand, but when he saw the three come in, Wenger still smiled and got up to hug Da Luo and Vieira, and exchanged pleasantries.
The next steps had nothing to do with Chen Mo, and after leaving a sentence of [dinner together in the evening] with Vieira and others, Chen Mo smiled and closed the office door and left the club.
There was nothing like a moth, that night, when Chen Mo was lying on the sofa at home teasing the baby, a photo of Wenger with Vieira and Da Luo holding the jersey was also shown on TV.
Because of Giroud's departure, Arsenal's current No. 9 shirt is still empty, and Lewandowski is only wearing No. 19, but Da Luo did not want No. 9, but wore No. 99.
It can be seen that he wants to express in this way that he is not here to be the protagonist at Arsenal, but to be a helper.
As for Vieira, his original No. 4 jersey is now on Little Pony, so he is also wearing No. 44.
There is no doubt that as soon as this news came out, fans all over the world were boiling.
Mainly because of Da Luo.
In fact, when Da Luo played a little uncomfortable in Real Madrid in 05, many fans hoped that Da Luo would go to Arsenal to join forces with Chen Mo, but at that time, Henry was still at the tail of his peak, and Da Luo had been injured and stopped, and Wenger, who was short of money, did not dare to bet on Da Luo.
But now, Da Luo still joined forces with Chen Mo!
Even if Da Luo can be said to be past his peak now, Da Luo's position in the hearts of this generation of fans is still unshakable, and they all hope that Da Luo can have a perfect curtain call.
As for Drogba, who has been going viral before.
To be honest, Drogba is very uncomfortable now, in fact, when Arsenal threw an olive branch to him, he had already moved the idea of going to Arsenal, but Chelsea refused to let go.
The management even declared that they would not want to take Drogba away from the bridge unless they brought in 50 million euros.
Fifty million euros
Drogba at his peak, even in this era when 40 million can be the king of the standard, 50 million euros is not a loss, after all, Drogba is one of the best players in the big center position in this era, and even Ibrahimovic is not as good as him, because Ibrahimovic at this age is too arrogant, unwilling to be a green leaf, and very sticky ball.
But Drogba is over 30 this year.
Why do many players, after the age of 30, obviously still have strength, but the transfer fee has fallen so much?
Because of the transfer fee thing.
In fact, it can be seen as a rental fee.
50 million to buy Drogba in his early twenties, with five years, six years or even ten years, even if it declines in the end, it can be sold to offset part of the transfer fee paid that year.
Even if it is not sold in the end, so that Drogba will be the old team for the rest of his life, as long as Drogba can play stably in the past ten years, the jersey sales and traffic and other benefits brought to the team can exceed the 50 million paid at that time.
But at the age of thirty, the peak period is only two or three years, except for players of Chen Mo's level, few players can bring 50 million income to the team in two or three years.
At this time, 50 million yuan was bought, that is, it really cost 50 million, and in the end, it may only be a few million euros back.
There are too many depreciation expenses in the middle to be worth it.
Arsene Wenger is rich now, but he is not wronged, so in the end the deal fell through.
Drogba is a little uncomfortable, but it's a pity that no Arsenal fans are paying attention to him anymore, and everyone is looking forward to Chen Mo and Da Luo performing on the same stage!
It's not that easy, though.
Da Luo has just returned from injury in mid-November, and he has been injured for nine months, and he does not have Chen Mo's plug-in, so he needs a period of recovery.
And it's not just the physical aspect that needs to be restored, but also the style of play that needs to change.
Da Luo's signature style of play is all kinds of technical moves to eat defenders raw, but his body can no longer bear it.
Or to be more precise, it's not that you can't bear it at all, but you can't maintain the high success rate of your youth.
In fact, every player in the five major leagues will, but because of the success rate, the players are divided into three, six, nine and so on.
The second is that at Arsenal, only Chen Mo and the two wingers need to pass one-on-one, and the center forward position is more about making walls, running without the ball, and grabbing points in the penalty area.
Of course, it doesn't mean that Da Luo is not given a chance at all, but it is definitely not as many opportunities as before, and this requires Da Luo to find a balance.
These requirements have actually been communicated clearly with Wenger before Da Luo came, but it still takes time to run in.
However, it has to be said that Da Luo did want to get a heavyweight honor in the final stage of his career, and he trained very hard every day, but the problem came again.
Da Luo has just recovered from his injury, and most of his training is actually to recover the sense of the ball and the feeling of shooting, but because he comes earlier and leaves later than others every day.
The whole team, that is, Chen Mo's work and rest are similar to him.
Chen Mo admires Da Luo very much, but it is definitely impossible to say that he will ignore his training and run to be a goalkeeper to accompany Da Luo in training.
At this time, a figure entered Chen Mo's field of vision - the last time he returned to the team, he saw the second team goalkeeper, Martinez, who was arguing with his teammates.
This little guy trains very hard every day, and even Chen Mo occasionally arrives at the training ground ten minutes later than usual because of the problem of the baby at home, and he will see that under the morning light that has not yet lit up, Martinez is alone there with a goalkeeper to contact the remedy.
Perfect sparring.
One white morning, in Martinez's shocked and excited eyes, Chen Mo introduced him to Da Luo and specially helped Da Luo practice shooting.
Help Da Luo practice shooting!
This kind of treatment made Martinez, who came to London alone to find a future despite his family's opposition last year, but is still in the second team and is isolated by many teammates, almost fainted with excitement.
There was no suspense, so he naturally nodded and agreed.
So, since then, basically every day before dawn, Da Martin and Da Luo practiced shooting over there, and Chen Mo ran five kilometers at a medium speed on the track in order to lose weight.
And every time he finished running, Chen Mo would sit next to the goal and drink water, blowing the cool morning breeze, watching the two of them practice shooting.
Occasionally, Chen Mo will also point out one or two big Martins.
Of course, it's not about pointing out the goalkeeper position and saving posture or anything, although Chen Mo has scored a lot, he is not a serious striker, and he is not familiar with the position of goalkeeper.
However, Chen Mo, as the midfield commander, also has some understanding of the role of the goalkeeper position on the field.
And Chen Mo talked about the topic most about Big Martin - ball.
Yes, out of the ball.
In recent years, the main responsibilities of many goalkeepers are still to save and attack, but in Chen Mo's view, in the future, a goalkeeper with poor ball ability will most likely not become the main force of the giants, at least not the main goalkeeper of their arsenal.
Very simple logic.
Arsenal is playing attacking football.
One of the characteristics of Arsenal's attacking football is that many times the two full-backs will go up on top.
When the full-backs go up, there will be fewer people in the back line.
The less people in the back line, the easier it is for the opposition to press high positions.
When the defender is forced to play the ball forward, whether the goalkeeper has the ability to play the ball in this position is likely to become the key to breaking the game.
Because the goalkeeper can play the ball, the opponent needs to press one more player.
At this time, the opponent will fall into a dilemma, invest more troops in the front court to force, the number of people in the middle and back will inevitably decrease, and when the goalkeeper goes to find Chen Mo with a big foot, go to find Xiao Pig, or find Da Luo, what should I do?
But if you don't increase the number of people to press, how can the laggards chase when Arsenal has an advantage?
And that's just a point.
In addition, when counterattacking, if the goalkeeper has the ability to play the ball, then after the ball, the goalkeeper can directly step forward, thus giving Chen Mo and Xiaozhu and others in the midfield the opportunity to step forward without the ball.
All in all, in Chen Mo's view, whether a goalkeeper has the ability to play the ball will even affect the diversity of a ball on the offensive end.
Chen Mo is now the idol of many young generations in Argentina, including Big Martin.
In the face of Chen Mo's teaching, Da Martin didn't dare to show a little unruliness at all, but kept nodding his head with adoration in his eyes, remembering Chen Mo's words in his mind, and then went to train.
Every day, Big Martin is growing at a rate that is almost visible to the naked eye.
In fact, this is not only the credit of Chen Mo, but also the credit of Da Luo.
Although Da Luo and Da Martin are not related to each other, for the sake of Chen Mo's very cordial treatment of Da Martin, Da Luo will occasionally tell Da Martin some of his thoughts when facing the goalkeeper, how to look at the weaknesses of the opponent's goalkeeper, and the actions and habits of many top goalkeepers like Kahn and Schmeichel when facing him.
There is no doubt that even if Da Luo and Chen Mo were just boring to mention a few words during the break, these words were tantamount to pointing out the avenues leading to heaven for Da Martin.
