Chapter 223 Making history!

The front line was still celebrating, and suddenly the military advisor was arrested.

When they heard the commentator's voice, the Arsenal generals were stunned, but soon, when they saw the replay on the big screen in the corner of the stadium, speechless expressions appeared on their faces.

"Haha, Mr. Wenger is so funny, he even knocked the fourth official's level down with one kick."

"Fortunately, Mr. Wenger is the kind of coach who prefers to let players play freely, otherwise it would definitely be in trouble."

"It's true, oh! Listen to the Barcelona fans next to Mr. Wenger booing him! Haha, the game has just started, Mr. Wenger is feeling uncomfortable."

The coaches usually sit in the stands, but this game is the Champions League knockout round, and the seats have been sold out early. In desperation, Wenger had to stand in front of the crowd, but this area is also the Barcelona fan zone.

Seeing Wenger's helpless expression with his arms folded in the stands, Chen Mo shook his head in amusement on the court, "Hey, you guys have to work harder, otherwise the boss will be ridiculed to the point of shutting himself down."

"Haha, as long as you can still send that kind of pass, we will definitely win!"

Vieira rubbed Chen Mo's head, and Chen Mo shook his head and said with a smile: "No matter what, it's all because of your forward thrust, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get the ball."

"Haha, you are so good at talking."

.

The lead was evened by Arsenal before it took off. Seeing the Arsenal players repositioning themselves, all the Barcelona generals had solemn expressions on their faces.

"Indeed, Barcelona's passing and controlling style requires all three midfielders to have top-notch awareness of the ball and movement. However, Max, who was born as a central defender and now serves as a defensive midfielder, is still lacking in this aspect."

"Header pass, the ball landed one step inside the penalty area!!!"

Soon, as the referee blew his whistle, Eto'o passed the ball to Xavi in ​​the center circle. Chen Mo stepped forward immediately. Facing the menacing Chen Mo, Xavi did not hesitate and passed the ball back to the midfielder.

Max, but the next second, Henry rushed behind Max!

At the same time, Chen Mo continued to press forward to help Henry attack Max, while Vieira and Essien moved forward to press Xavi and Deco!

"Full-court press!"

Running wildly and yelling, Essien was not in his eyes at all. Puyol roared at Chen Mo who was running diagonally. His eyes were wide, and he just jumped without caring about anything!

But this did not scare Chen Mo. Looking at the menacing Puyol, Chen Mo's eyes widened instantly, filled with ruthlessness. Without hesitation, he vigorously swung his arms and kicked the ground, which was also a jump!

"this"

"Yes, after all, Arsenal and Barcelona have never played against each other. Barcelona's offense is so sharp, so Arsenal chose a more conservative defensive method before. But now, through that goal just now, they clearly discovered the strength of Barcelona's defense.

There is a gap between the midfield and the frontcourt, so in this case, they dare to fight recklessly?"

After completing the save, Valdez immediately prepared for a quick goal kick for a counterattack, but as soon as he rushed out with the ball in his arms, he found that almost all Barcelona players were followed by Arsenal players, not to mention hand-throwing the ball for a quick break.

Even with Henry Pere Bergkamp and others nearby, the ball couldn't get out at all.

The flying ball hit the inside of his right thigh hard, almost flattening his own head, but Chen Mo didn't care about it. The moment the ball bounced from his thigh into the sky, he immediately ran towards the landing point!

“The ball goes up to the sky!!”

Pass control requires very high levels of strength from every player in the team, especially in the midfield. As long as there is a link that fails to enter the rhythm, the rhythm of the entire team will become very strange.

"It seems that Arsenal's morale has improved. Their defense was relatively passive before!"

"Yes, the abilities of Xavi and Deco alone cannot compete with Arsenal's three midfielders. Just like this goal, it would be great if Edmilson, who has better movement awareness, is in the defensive midfield position. He

As long as he gets in front of Chen Mo to provide a connecting point, Harvey can send the ball to the middle. You must know that Arsenal was the offensive side just now and the formation is unstable. Barcelona has a great chance to launch a fast break."

Rocket headbutt!

"Poof!"

Looking at the two people who seemed to be about to perish together, Essien and Belletti, who were walking half a beat slower, did not take off. The next second, "Bang——"

"Vieira is coming forward!!!"

The commentators were rambling, but what they said was right. There was no full-court press before. Pires and Bergkamp's physical fitness was one aspect, but another more important reason was that Chen Mo was not sure about the strength of Barcelona's defense!

"A very beautiful header! And this goal is also his first goal in the Champions League knockout round! Let us congratulate Vieira!"

The sound of muscle impact reached the cochlea. Under the stunned gazes of the two people, Chen Mo, who jumped two heads higher than Puyol, got the ball first and swung his head toward the Barcelona penalty area in the face of the ball!

Isolated and helpless, Xavi could only pass the ball back to right back Belletti. While running forward, he glanced at Chen Mo vaguely, with deep regret in his eyes.

"It's a pity. If Edmilson hadn't been injured, Harvey would never have been so uncomfortable."

"Damn it!"

Whether you can effectively convert the ball into a goal after you get the ball is very critical.

Arsenal's sudden increase in speed caught Barcelona off guard. Soon, in the third minute after the game restarted, midfielder Max received a pass from Xavi. Henry was squeezing behind him and blocked the passing route between him and Deco in front.

When Chen Mo came running, he panicked and swept the ball directly to the central defender.

Soon, when he was squeezed by Essien again, Harvey passed the ball back to Max, who was waiting for the ball. The moment he passed the ball, Henry, who had already planned it, retreated immediately to cooperate with Chen Mo to defend Max!

Xavier Deco was closely guarded by Essien Vieira on the left and right, with Chen Mo in front and Henry behind. Max's hair stood on end. At this time, he could only pass the ball to the full-back, but where the hell is the full-back?!

Without good vision and awareness, he couldn't see the teammates behind him on either side. Max immediately grabbed the horse and without thinking, he directly raised his right foot and prepared to drive the ball to the frontcourt, but the moment he raised his foot to swipe the ball

, Chen Mo, who rushed in front of him, put his hands behind his back, frowned and stretched out his right foot!

"Puyol rushed over too!"

Faced with this situation, Xavi, who had just moved to the midline, had no choice but to expand his range of activities and retreat to catch the ball. However, before he could turn around after receiving the ball, Essien had already pounced behind him.

"It makes sense."

However, the ball was stopped halfway by Bergkamp, ​​who had been ambushing him for a long time. The moment Bergkamp took the ball, Henry immediately turned back and ran diagonally to the right of the penalty area, forming a cross with Bergkamp.

Bergkamp, ​​who dribbled the ball across the edge of the penalty area, sent an overhead pass without hesitation!

The ball landed on the right side of the penalty area, and Henry also had a chance. Unfortunately, this time goalkeeper Valdes showed his bravery and quickly got down to block Henry's crotch shot.

Through the cooperation just now, Chen Mo quickly realized Barcelona's problem - the midfielders and backfielders were too short, and the tallest defender Oleg was only 1.87 meters. Apart from him, the others were not even 1.8 meters tall.

.

"The landing point is on the left side outside the Barcelona penalty area!"

Pressing means going up top. Barcelona's passing and cutting coordination is extremely sharp, and even the defense can't stop it. If you use a more aggressive full-court press, it will be very easy for Barcelona to penetrate!

The commentator roared. In the stands, Wenger clenched his fists and stretched his neck to watch. The next second, under the gaze of him and more than 80,000 spectators, Chen Mo, Puyol, Essien, and Barcelona right back Belle

At the same time, Di rushed towards the spot where the ball landed!

“It’s still early!!”

"Oh my god! What a terrifying jumping height!"

Not only Chen Mo understands this truth, but other Arsenal players also understand this truth, and they are fighting more and more actively. Even the already aging Bergkamp is further expanding the scope of his activities!

Facing Essien's pressing, Xavi felt very uncomfortable, while Max, the midfielder not far away, was stuck there like a wooden stake under Chen Mo's guard.

However, everything has two sides. The more aggressive the pressing, the easier it is to be penetrated by the opponent, and it is also easier to gain the ball!

"observe?"

The whole audience exclaimed. With everyone watching, the ball flew towards the Barcelona penalty area. Goalkeeper Valdez struck immediately, but the next second, the 1.91-meter-tall black giant Vieira sprinted forward with two steps.

He threw it diagonally into the air and hit the ball before Valdez!

Fish leap to the top!

Outstanding effect!

Just like just now, Vieira moved forward as a fulcrum, and Barcelona had nothing to do. He stood there like a giant, and Barcelona could only watch him pass the ball to Chen Mo.

The black and white ball hit the black bald head, refracted, and instantly passed Valdez's outstretched fists, and went into the top corner of the goal under the desperate eyes of the Barcelona generals!

"GoaLLLLLLL!!! The goal was scored!!! In the 37th minute of the game! Arsenal took the lead!!! The scorer was none other than Vieira, who had been injured for more than four months!!! He is indeed Arsenal's goalkeeper

Captain, he deserves the trust the team and fans have placed in him!!!"

Arsenal did not use a full-court press before, and Max did not receive much care at this point, so the problem has not been exposed yet, but now once the full-court press begins, Barcelona's passing rhythm starts to speed up in the face of pressure, and Max is like

Naked swimmers after the tide goes out!

Gradually, under Chen Mo's shouts, the Arsenal generals also began to adjust their pressing strategies, just like a pack of wolves driving the buffalo herd towards the established route, and at the same time driving the weak buffalo out of the herd!

They began to block more of Deco and Xavi's passing routes forward and to the side, allowing Barcelona players to pass more passes to Max in the middle!

"Perhaps Chen Mo was observing before?"

"Congratulations to Vieira! Let us also give applause to Chen Mo! He became the youngest player in history to provide two assists in a single game in the Champions League knockout stage!!!"

Let me make it clear that Barcelona this year is not particularly strong.

With a battalion of injured soldiers and a major team shakeup, Barcelona would have been eliminated in the top 16 this year.

The next season, that is, the 0506 season, the team will be able to reach the top of the Champions League after the team has been fully integrated and has been strengthened.

Then, there will be another chapter later~
