Chapter 452 Fight Inter again!
The Premier League fixture list in January can be described as horrific.
In 30 days, Arsenal will play a total of eight games, basically less than one game in four days.
In other words, this month, Chen Mo was either on his way to the next city or in the middle of a competition.
The schedule is pretty scary, but it's okay.
Eight games, including two in the League Cup, two in the FA Cup, and only four in the league.
Arsenal still have to compete for the fourth. In the league, Chen Modi Maria and Giroud naturally have to be full attendance, but the English League Cup and the FA Cup are relatively less important.
Especially the League Cup.
The gold content and prize money of this cup are not high, and it is in the second half of the most intensive schedule.
Over the years, the top clubs in the Premier League have always sent a substitute lineup to play this cup, and Arsenal is naturally the same. At that time, the starting lineup will probably be Nasri, Alexander Song, and the newly added Thiago Silva and others.
But the FA Cup is more troublesome.
The gold content of the FA Cup is almost equivalent to the Copa del Rey in La Liga and the Coppa Italia in Serie A.
It is more important, but the trouble is here.
The gold content of the FA Cup is high because the top teams in the Premier League are all competing for the championship.
There are many strong teams, and they can't play without being the main force, but the schedule of this thing is always stuck before and after the Champions League, and Arsenal's bench depth is not enough.
If you are not the main force, you may not be able to play. If you are the main force, you will not be able to fully charge for the subsequent Champions League knockout rounds.
Tangled, Wenger is very tangled, and his tangled directly caused the atmosphere in the team's locker room to become a bit twisted.
An honest person like Giroud naturally feels that he should be more stable and single-handedly attack the FA Cup or the Champions League.
And those with a more aggressive personality like Bell feel that they can go all out to win the FA Cup and Champions League double.
When there are differences in ideas, the cohesion will naturally decline.
But soon, the team had nothing to worry about.
In the third round of the FA Cup on January 1, in Arsenal's away game against Burnley, Samuel sprained his left ankle after fighting for a high-altitude ball with the opponent's center forward.
A fractured bone is not a devastating injury, but it still requires a month of plaster.
Samuel was absent for more than a month, which directly made Wenger give up the idea of fighting in the league, the FA Cup and the Champions League, and began to focus on the league and the Champions League.
And as Wenger made a decision and the goal was unified, the atmosphere in the Arsenal team gradually became high, and everyone was gearing up!
With such high spirits, Arsenal's record throughout January was very impressive.
On January 1, in the English League Cup semi-final, Arsenal went to White Hart Lane to challenge Tottenham.
Chen Mo still started this game, but this time he played not as a midfielder, but as a right winger.
Yes, right winger.
No way, to be honest, because Di Maria started two years earlier than Bell, his skills are stronger in all aspects, but Di Maria's physical fitness is not as durable as Bell.
In addition, in the first half of the year, because of Chen Mo's injury, Wenger played every game with full attendance and Wenger in order to keep his grades.
Di Maria's physical pressure is very high.
So in this Carabao Cup game against Tottenham, Wenger sent a combination of Nasri, Alexander Song and Rakitic in the midfield, and his newly joined sister-in-law partner Chiellini was the back line.
The effect is not bad.
Nasri's ability to organize and attack is good. Although he is still not as good as Chen Mo, his partner is Alexander Song.
Many people see Alexander Song as a dark old man, kicking the midfielder again, and feel that he is a defensive gatekeeper, but in fact this guy has a good style of play, and he likes to jump in and join the offense.
Alexander Song likes to go forward, which just makes up for Nasri's lack of offensive ability at this stage.
Of course, there are only three people in the midfield, and two of them are involved in the offense. At this time, someone must be responsible.
And that's why Rakitic can start at Arsenal.
Because they are in the same national team as Modric, and they were in Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively in a certain time and space, so many fans like to compare the two, and then say that Rakitic is not as good as Modric.
Well, in terms of comprehensiveness and positioning as the core of the organization, Rakitic is indeed not as good as Modric.
But if you only talk about the importance of both sides in the position of the team, Rakitic is not inferior to Modric at all.
Rakitic's organizational skills are not top-notch, but his ability to wipe his ass is top-notch.
During the MSN period, Habai was old and retreated, and Alves was aging, and he could not come down. Therefore, the problem of Busquets' slow moving speed and small coverage area was completely exposed.
During that period, Barcelona's defense was able to stabilize, firstly because MSN's firepower was too fierce, and secondly because Rakitic was too active.
On both sides and behind Busquets, Alves' front and back sideways are empty. These areas are all covered by Rakitic's active running.
In the game when Bayern played 8:2 and the midfield was completely penetrated, it happened that Rakitic did not play.
His Barcelona in the MSN period, and his current position in the Arsenal team are actually somewhat similar to DePaul's position in Argentina. The statistics are not outstanding, but the role is very important.
The midfield combination of Nasri, Alexander Song and Rakitic is not to mention very strong, but at least the player's characteristics are complementary, and the offensive and defensive ends are relatively balanced.
In addition, although Chen Mo did not play a familiar midfielder in this game, his role in the front line is still very huge.
The midfielder has the advantages of the midfielder, and the striker also has the advantages of the striker.
The midfielder can control the overall situation and has a stronger ability to control the team and the rhythm of the game, but the price is that he often needs to pay attention to defense, and cannot be as free as the striker, and can go wherever he wants.
If you play in the midfield and run around, it is easy for the opponent to penetrate the midfield defense.
But it's different now. Chen Mo is playing forward in this game, and he has very little defensive responsibility. He can run freely and go to any area he thinks can cause damage.
Don't underestimate this random running.
That's the point, Tottenham manager Juande Ramos scratches his head.
In the 18th minute of the game, amid the exclamation of the fans, Chen Mo, who was active on the right, suddenly shrank towards the middle, forming a double center with Giroud!
Not only is Chen Mo shrinking towards the side, Bell also ran from the left forward position to the front midfielder area!
At the same time, left-backs Marcelo and Nasri inserted into both sides of Tottenham's back line, one left and one right!
Marcelo, Giroud, Chen Mo, Nasri
————Bell—————
Rakitic --- Alexander Song
Chiellini - sister-in-law - Chrissy
The four forwards completely held down the Tottenham back line. At the same time, Chen Mo and Giroud were not standing parallel, but a little behind Giroud!
Giroud.
——Chen Mo.
Bell!
Tottenham's midfielder is on Chen Mo's left!
The space is very small, but the three of them have covered Tottenham's right back waist with a semi-enclosed posture!
Without waiting for the Tottenham players to react, Bell, who had just run to the front midfielder, had already received a through ball from Rakitic, and in less than two seconds, the entire Emirates Stadium was completely boiling.
Bell, who received a through ball from Rakitic, and all the defenders around him were taken away, directly pushed the ball to the right midfielder of Tottenham. The moment he rushed to the opponent, Bell gently pushed the ball forward with his right foot. pick!
The ball rolled straight to Chen Mo, who was resisting Tottenham's left midfielder. At the same time, Bell accelerated forward, and kicked off the right side of the midfielder!
He rushed towards the left central defender behind the left back waist behind Chen Mo!
In the next second, Chen Mo, with his back against the left back waist, lightly tapped the ball with his left foot against the ball rolling in front of him, and the ball popped out in a broken line, passed through Bell's crotch, and was sent directly to the right center back who was also resisting. At the foot of Giroud, at the same time, Chen Mo also used his waist and abdomen to shake off the defensive player behind him, and turned and sprinted to the right!
Amidst the exclamations of the fans, Chen Mo and Bell completed an X-shaped running position one after the other!
Tottenham's defense was completely penetrated!
The whole place is boiling!
"Fack! Who should I guard against?!"
Looking at Bale, who was thrusting towards his left from right to left, and Chen Mo, who was thrusting towards his right from left to right, the left central defender of Tottenham went numb!
I don't even know who to guard against!
But still the question!
Now Tottenham's position is very compact, and there is not much room for passing the ball. Just pinch Giroud's passing route!
Thinking of this, Tottenham's left central defender immediately turned his head to look at Giroud, but in the next moment, he was numb again!
I saw that the defending central defender Giroud did not give a through ball, nor did he lift the ball into the penalty area, but swept the ball horizontally with his right foot against the ball rolling from the left front!
"boom!"
With a crisp sound, in the dull eyes of Tottenham's left central defender, the ball popped out like a three-dimensional pinball, and it bounced directly towards the feet of Chen Mo who was also speeding forward!
Very small space!
The distance between Jirou and Chen Mo is less than one meter!
This kind of space, this kind of ball speed.
can not stop at all!
but!
At the moment of the commentary, shouting, and all the Arsenal fans behind the goal clapping their heads and exclaiming, the ball directly hit the instep of Chen Mo's left foot while running!
The instep trembled!
The Arsenal team logo on the ankles of the black and gold sneakers also vibrated slightly!
But the ball didn't bounce!
There seemed to be glue on Chen Mo's left foot, which directly stuck to the ball!
When Chen Mo rushed into the penalty area with one step and stepped on the ground with his left foot, the ball landed gently half a step in front of Chen Mo's left foot!
What is the feeling of riding a horse? ? ?
In this scene, not to mention the Tottenham left central defender, even the Tottenham goalkeeper was stunned for a moment, but he is a professional goalkeeper after all. At this time, he didn't think too much in his mind. side to block the near post!
But at the moment when his center of gravity changed, Chen Mo suddenly hit his left foot horizontally to the right, and the next second, Bell scored from the right side of the goal.
One to zero!
Bell to Chenmo, Chenmo to Giroud, Giroud to Chenmo, Chenmo to Bell!
The four-legged pass completely pierced Tottenham's defense!
And everyone hits the ball with one kick!
There is no doubt that even in an away game, even at the White Hart Lane Stadium of rivals Tottenham in the same city, such a regular goal is enough to ignite the enthusiasm of the fans.
When Bell rushed to the small group of Arsenal fans at the corner and punched vigorously, many Tottenham fans in the stands also gave affirmative applause!
Arsenal was celebrating here, and on the sidelines, Tottenham coach Juande Ramos was not idle, and immediately shouted the team to the sidelines, gesticulating and yelling about tactics.
Next to him, I heard something like [stick to him! 】【Don't let him have room to catch the ball easily】In this case, wearing the button down jacket newly bought by Kaoru Tsukichi, Wenger's mouth curled into a smile.
"Stick to Xiao Mo?"
"Come on, let him play in the League Cup, it's not for him to come up and work hard."
Originally, according to Wenger's idea, Chen Mo would not start this game, but because of Di Maria's physical problems, Chen Mo was allowed to play as a winger.
However, playing as a winger is not to let Chen Mo blast at a single point, after all, it consumes too much energy.
Wenger's true intentions are
Soon, as the game started, seeing Chen Mo's movements on the field, the head coach of Tottenham clenched his fists!
Failed!
He asked the players to post Chen Mo to prevent Chen Mo from single-point blasting, but Chen Mo didn't do this at all, but played an organizational midfielder.
The main purpose is to relieve the ball-holding pressure of teammates through passing and running with one touch of the ball, so that Arsenal's midfield formation can press higher, press the ball near the Tottenham penalty area, and then provide long-range shots and off-the-ball space. all threats.
To put it simply, Chen Mo is acting as a wingman for Nasri and others in the midfield, and the ball will not be at his feet most of the time.
Chen Mo is not the main attacker, but Tottenham put the focus of defense on him.
There is no doubt that there is a problem with Tottenham's tactical arrangement.
In the 31st minute of the game, Chen Mo made a high pass from the right at a 45-degree angle to find Giroud.
Giroud is tall and has strong confrontation ability, but unfortunately, after Chen Mo went to the wing, Arsenal's center has no players who can rush into the penalty area to help Giroud share the pressure of the header.
In the end, under the defense of the two central defenders, Giroud jumped high but did not have a direct position, and the ball flew to the left of the top of the arc.
Under normal circumstances, the area at the top of the arc must be heavily guarded, but Tottenham's current focus is on Chen Mo on the right. With this lob, most Tottenham players have shrunk into the penalty area!
Amidst the exclamations of the fans, Rakitic appeared at the point where the ball landed!
Without any hesitation, Rakitic, whose long-range shot is the main offensive method, directly volleyed with his right foot against the falling ball!
Peach Blossom Shadow Flying Excalibur!
The long-range shot with no arc but extremely fast ball speed quickly drilled into the upper left corner of the goal!
Two to zero!
In 10 minutes, Tottenham scored two to zero in an away game!
And this is Rakitic's first goal at Arsenal!
Rakitic was ecstatic after scoring the goal!
Flicking a head of flowing blond hair, he rushed to the corner!
The Arsenal players celebrated again, and what is funny is that at this time, the Tottenham coach pulled the players to the sidelines and gestured excitedly, while shouting tactics.
But just after he finished setting up his tactics, he patted the player's buttocks to signal cheers, and the fourth official over there raised his card to make a substitution.
Chen Mo was replaced by the striker Walcott bought by Xia Chuang Wenger for 400 million euros a few months ago
No!
I just set up a confrontational tactic, and you just change people? !
Seeing Chen Mo, who was grinning and applauding with Wenger, then sitting on the bench while drinking water and chatting with Henry Di Maria, the Tottenham coach was immediately petrified.
The strength and strength are not comparable, and there are problems with tactics.
No surprises, in the second half, Giroud headed the ball after receiving Bell's cross. In the end, with the referee's three whistles, Arsenal won the victory at White Hart Lane with a score of [-]-[-].
After this game, not only the entire Arsenal team, but even the Arsenal fans on the Internet were very excited.
Not because of the victory over Tottenham, mainly because the Carabao Cup is a two-legged game.
The game was [-]-[-]. As long as Wenger didn't travel through time and space to invite Dengbao in the second round, then Arsenal would be almost stable, and the main players could get more rest time.
In this way, in the days when the main players in the league are all on, the main players and substitutes in the FA Cup, and the English League Cup is mainly used as a substitute, time goes by. At the same time, the whole team gradually finds a stable rhythm of competition and life, and the state is also day by day. better.
On January 1th, in the 12nd round of the Premier League, Arsenal beat the newly promoted Birmingham, which had just been promoted to the Premier League this year, 22-[-] at home.
On January 1, in the 19rd round of the Premier League, Arsenal challenged West Bromwich Albion away.
This team refused to sign Chen Mo seven years ago, and has been going back and forth between the Premier League and the Championship for the past few years. The laughing stock of big talk shows and football commentators.
Many fans thought that if West Brom could offer an olive branch to Chen Mo, who was rejected by many Premier League giants' youth training and almost lost hope of playing football.With Chen Mo's character of knowing how to repay his kindness, not to mention staying in the team, at least it can bring tens of millions of euros in transfer fees to West Brom.
But unfortunately, there is no if.
Before the game, many people in the football world also speculated how many goals Chen Mo would score in this game.
But unfortunately, after this game is the fourth round of the FA Cup. After Chen Mo sent an assist, he was replaced by Wenger in the ashen face of West Brom boss.
An opponent of this level, not to mention retaliation, is not even qualified for the current Chen Mo to bring up 100% fighting spirit.
Time flies, and as Arsenal beat Newcastle, Blackburn, Aston Villa and other teams in succession, they returned to fourth in the league and squeezed Everton to fifth in the league. The time also came to February 2.
In the 07-08 UEFA Champions League, the highly anticipated first round of the quarter-finals, the focus of Arsenal's away game against Inter Milan will also start at the Meazza Stadium.
[The Telegraph: The Avengers? !Now Inter Milan is full of stars, but what is interesting is that many players in the front, middle and back of Inter Milan have had a feud with Chen Mo!
