Chapter 167 Top confrontation, top vision!

henry

Looking at the man in front of him with a gentle smile on his face, Chen Mo was slightly stunned. He raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and stretched out his right hand: "Hello, Mr. Henry, I am Chen Mo."

"Haha, you don't need to introduce yourself. Mr. Wenger sent everyone a copy of your information during the offseason. We all know you, a super genius." Henry laughed and shook hands with Chen Mo, then looked at Ji

Lu winked: "It's you, little guy, I've never heard your name before."

Giroud couldn't answer these words and lowered his head in embarrassment. At this time, Henry hugged his neck tightly and laughed: "Hahaha! Don't worry too much, little guy, this will be your new home!"

He never expected that he would be favored by someone like Henry, and Giroud was in a daze for a moment.

"Is this the atmosphere of an undefeated team that wins the championship?" Chen Mo smiled and shook his head. Although he had heard Wenger say that the atmosphere in the Arsenal team was very good before coming here, but now that he has seen it with his own eyes, it is still somewhat amazing.

At this moment, a cold voice cut into the cochlea.

"Henry, what are you still chatting about? Why don't you come and warm up for training!"

His voice was as cold as a knife. He turned around and saw a white man with short blond hair looking over at him with his hands on his hips, his face full of seriousness.

Bergkamp

With a very serious voice, Chen Mo subconsciously raised his head, and Henry smiled and trotted: "Let's go, little guys, let's start warming up."

Following Henry, he trotted towards the center of the court and passed by Bergkamp. His eyes were so cold that Chen Mo even felt like he was being scraped by a skate.

.

The warm-up training is always the same old routine, with a few people rushing to pass the ball around and chatting with each other.

Chen Mo and Giroud didn't talk much at first. After all, they were newcomers to a new environment and were not familiar with the place. Fortunately, Henry was very enthusiastic. Under his introduction, the two of them joined Vieira, Pires and Eyre who arrived early.

Xin and the others also said hello, and everyone was very enthusiastic.

However, compared to Henry's enthusiasm and Bergkamp's coldness and seriousness, Vieira, as the captain of Arsenal and always known for his iron-bloodedness on the court, seemed more calm, standing there like a big black mountain.

As for the African Joey Essien who is on the side, he is honest and serious about practicing football.

Soon, Wenger, wearing training clothes and with gray hair, walked into the stadium.

The players stood in a row. He glanced at the players who had finished warming up and nodded with a smile: "Welcome back, everyone. How was your offseason?"

"Great boss! My daughter loves the Premier League championship trophy!"

"Hahaha, a perfect season!"

"We want to complete our consecutive championships!"

"Winning the Champions League and completing our revenge against Chelsea!"

Undefeated and winning the championship last season, there was naturally little pressure during the offseason. The players were very excited. Wenger took out his tactical board and smiled gently: "Very good, keep up this fighting spirit. Without further ado, let's proceed.

In the group training match, I called on the names to get the red vests. Fowler, Djourou, Swade, Essien, Giroud, Chen Mo, Henry."

After hearing Wenger read out the roster, Chen Mo secretly clenched his fists and his eyes instantly ignited fighting spirit. Except for the absence of Henry and the right midfielder Ljungberg who had just sent away more than a month ago, the blue team was directly the same undefeated team last season.

Arsenal!

The red team he was on was either a rookie or a substitute. Only Henry was the core player, and the midfield trio was configured with him advancing forward, while Essien and another defensive midfielder stayed behind!

"Do you want others to see my strength? Come on!"

.

The aunt in the cafeteria who takes out the trash, the old man who sweeps the fallen leaves, and some youth training coaches who are idle.

In the first team training match of the new season, many Arsenal staff members stopped to watch beside the barbed wire fence, and even some bored management looked at them in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the club building. The focus of their attention was undoubtedly this summer.

The team spent a lot of money and the coach personally brought Chen Mo from Barcelona!

Parallel imports, or the crown prince?

Feeling the various stares from outside the court, Chen Mo ignored it and just stood near the center circle and moved his waist while observing the formations of both sides.

The red team seems to be in a 4-3-3 formation with two midfielders, with Chen Mo at the forefront of the three midfielders, but in fact Essien's position is a little further to the left. From a bird's eye view, it is actually more like a defensive ability that is pretty good.

Fowler is the midfielder, Henry is the left winger, Giroud is the center forward, and Lupoli, who only had one chance to play last season, is the right winger.

The blue team has an undefeated formation of 442 last season, with four top defenders, midfielders Vieira, Laurent, Pires and Gilberto. The forward position is the right center against Bergkamp, ​​and the left center Aliadiere.

Except for Gilberto and Aliadiere, all the other members of this lineup are the main core of last season!

"This kind of lineup configuration with extremely different strengths is not so much a test as it is that Mr. Wenger wants to give the new guys a showdown."

"I hope these little guys will not leave any psychological shadow."

The staff watching the game on the sidelines were chattering, but at this moment, the assistant coach blew the whistle and the game started.

The red team served. Giroud, who was a little nervous, immediately pushed the ball back to Chen Mo. Seeing this, the blue team's left center Aliadiere retreated to grab the ball. He knew very well that Wenger asked the 21-year-old to partner him.

What is the significance of Bergkamp who is already thirty-five years old and whose running ability has declined significantly?

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Aliadiere running from behind. It was rare for Chen Mo not to pass the ball to his teammates immediately. He seemed to hesitate for a moment. Instead of passing the ball, he moved quickly and used his back to block the opponent's goal.

Grab the route.

"Chance!"

“Have a taste of Premier League pressing!”

If he steals the ball at this position, he can pass it to the wing for Pires to counterattack. Aliadiere was very happy and immediately rushed to squeeze. However, when he hit Chen Mo's back with his inertia, Chen Mo put his feet on the ground and raised his arms.

He bent his knees slightly and leaned back. The next second, Aliadiere was pushed directly to the ground, but Chen Mo was not even hit and tilted forward!

"Wardfa?! What kind of monster physique is this!"

Aliadiere is not tall, only 1.83 meters tall and weighs only 140 kilograms, but this time he was able to push forward. The audience on the sidelines were stunned. At this moment, with the help of Aliadiere, he stepped forward

With the momentum of the top, Chen Mo directly moved the ball forward!

Great strides!

"What a strong physical confrontation, what a keen observation!"

On the sidelines, the assistant coach was dumbfounded. 442, it seemed like there were four midfielders, but most of the time the two wide midfielders would pull wide. Only when targeting a certain super player would the two wide midfielders shrink to form a midfield diamond position.

, use space to block, and at this time Arsenal's main force obviously focused their defense on Henry on the left, with only Vieira and Lauren in the midfield.

"Don't even think about it!"

Chen Mo's opening blitz caught the blue team off guard. Vieira immediately stepped up and rushed towards Chen Mo, staring at the ball, trying to strangle Chen Mo in the midfield.

Looking at Vieira on the top, Chen Mo, who was taking long strides and taking two steps for the ball, immediately adjusted his pace, "Bang - Bang - Bang Bang Bang Bang!" The two steps for the ball were changed to one step for the ball, but

The speed does not slow down!

The two sides were getting closer. Vieira was about to rush in front of him. Suddenly, the wind whistled in his ears, and Chen Mo raised his right foot to move the ball to the right.

"Fake action!"

There was a defender on the right side. Chen Mo cut to the right to seek death. Vieira, who had a first-rate overall view, did not follow up. But in the next second, his eyes widened and he saw Chen Mo's right foot passing over the ball.

, and then the inner thigh muscles exert force and suddenly pull back!

Heel knock!

The ball passed behind Chen Mo's left leg and cut diagonally towards the left midfielder at high speed. The next second, Essien rushed in from behind, but unfortunately, because the distance between Essien and Chen Mo was too far, this heel shot

The quality of the pass was not high. When Essien received the ball, the blue team midfielder Lauren had already jumped in front of him.

The attack failed. Essien adjusted his steps to protect the ball. At this time, Chen Mo also retreated to catch the ball.

"It's a pity that the ball was not passed well, otherwise it was a good blitz."

The assistant coach on the sidelines looked regretful, and Wenger shook his head: "No, no, no, it's not that he didn't pass the ball well. He didn't pass the ball to Essien in the first place."

"ah?"

"It's difficult to guarantee the quality of a back-heel pass, and Essien is in the left midfield, and the distance between the two is too far. This little guy won't pass this kind of ball. Look at the path just now, his ball

In fact, it was passed to Fowler who was running forward from the center, but Fowler's offensive awareness was too weak. He thought that the attack had nothing to do with him, and started to slow down halfway through the run, so the ball went to the left.

It's a pity that the little guy has already seen the flaw in the opponent's formation at that moment. If Fowler is replaced by Vieira, who has more forward awareness, he and Essien will be involved in this ball.

With two midfielders, Vieira can drive the ball directly from the center. At that time, whether he distributes the ball to Henry on the wing or shoots from long range himself, he can create a threat."

Wenger felt a little regretful on the sidelines. On the court, looking at Chen Mo who was not far away cooperating with his teammates in passing and cutting, Vieira, who had never smiled, finally raised the corners of his mouth and secretly clenched his fists.

"Mr. Wenger's vision is indeed unmistakable!"
