Chapter 257 Modric (4k)

Early morning, Arsenal Club Manager's Office.

The sun shines into the room through the open windows, piercing through the steam rising from the teacup.

Taking a sip from the teacup, looking at the game statistics on his right hand, Wenger frowned slightly when he saw Chen Mo touching the ball in the red spot in the frontcourt.

On the data sheet, the red dots that covered almost the entire backcourt and frontcourt area last season are now only half left!More than 80.00% of Chen Mo's touches are in the backcourt of his own team, and the number of touches in the frontcourt is very few!
"Fewer passers."

Putting down the data sheet, Wenger leaned back in his chair, frowning slightly.

In his original team building plan, Arsenal still had the same two back cushions as last season, and the midfield offense was completely handed over to Chen Mo. However, after the battle with Chelsea, Wenger keenly realized that something was wrong!
Just like fish in water are streamlined, like animals living in extremely cold regions have thicker hair, Chen Mo's performance last season was too terrifying, and he was almost unstoppable in the middle.

Under such circumstances, other teams in the Premier League that want to compete for the championship have begun to adjust their team lineups. Even Manchester United, which has always played 442, has changed to 433 with a single midfielder or double midfielders, and renewed their contracts at a high price. "Boar" Davis.

Not only Manchester United, Chelsea also bought Ballack, who is more defensive, to replace Thiago.

Manchester United and Chelsea have greatly improved their midfield intensity, but Arsenal have lost Vieira.

Vieira is not only a defensive gate, he has more experience in the game, and his ability to pass and receive the ball is far better than that of Mascherano and Essien at this stage. His departure caused Chen Mo to face Chelsea in the last game. Almost impossible to hold the ball!

It's not that you can't hold the ball, but that as long as you enter the encirclement, the ball can't pass in at all.

Thinking of this, Wenger plucked his temples and moved his gaze to the boy on the white paper on the other side of the table.

【Name: Luka Modric】

【Nationality: Croatia】

【Age: 20】

【Height: 172】

[Position: Midfielder]

[Features: Can send precise passes with both left and right feet, strong creative passing, active running, abundant physical fitness, wide vision, strong game reading ability]

[Disadvantage: A thin physique may not be able to adapt to the physical confrontation of the Premier League, expensive]

【Current team: Dinamo Zagreb】

[Ask price: 500 million euros]

"It's really expensive."

Under the morning sun, Wenger frowned and pinched the bridge of his nose. At this moment, the corner of his eye caught sight of Chen Mo's red dotted picture.

"."

The air fell into silence. Looking at the red dots on the white paper, Wenger thought for a moment and picked up the phone.
.
In August, when the summer window has not yet closed, there is basically one game a week. The schedule is very easy, but the players have not relaxed and are training hard every day.

After the draw with Chelsea, which was strengthened this summer, the outside world is touting that Arsenal still maintain the championship level, but only the players in the team understand that the game has actually been completely out of control.

The offensive end ball could not be sent to the frontcourt at all, Chen Mo could only be forced to go back to the backcourt to get the ball and rush forward.

Effective, but extremely unstable. After all, except for highlights, no player can complete a one-stop breakthrough in the middle every game.

Moreover, Chen Mo's retreat is not without cost. Chen Mo can press up when he withdraws. Last season, Arsenal's compensation plan was that Vieira and Essien pressed forward, and Chen Mo sent a long pass from behind.

Vieira is very tall and has a strong ability to pass and receive the ball. He can serve as a fulcrum in the midfield, so the opponent dare not press too high in this situation. But in the game against Chelsea, Essien, who is less than 1.8 meters Completely suppressed by Ballack, Giroud was also double-teamed by two central defenders.

Neither Essien nor Pony have strong passing and cutting skills on the ground ball. The ball cannot be passed from the ground. Essien has no physical advantage in the high-altitude ball.

In the final stage of that game, facing the frenziedly pressing Chelsea, Arsenal had been completely suppressed in the 30-meter area of ​​​​their own penalty area and could not get out.

This is a problem at the level of staffing. This kind of problem often leads to personnel adjustments, and the key to the problem now is the midfielder.

Although Xiao Ma didn't say much during the training, Chen Mo could clearly sense the tension in his heart.

As the youngest captain of Arsenal, it is natural to help his teammates solve problems at this time, let alone his compatriots.

Needless to say, since the match against Chelsea, Chen Mo has been pulling Ma to practice muay thai every night to relax.

There is a saying, bald men are tough.

Brother Xiao Ma, the tough guy who ran to the anal fissure, was naturally even tougher. Even if his arms trembled because of Chen Mo's vigorous whipping legs, the hand holding the target guard never let go.

However, such days did not last long. On August 16, Arsenal sold Essien to Chelsea for 4000 million euros, and at the same time brought Modric from Croatia to London for 1000 to [-] million euros.

Super big news!
You must know that Chelsea is Arsenal's direct competitor, and Essien is still the absolute main core, Wenger actually chose to sell Essien instead of Mascherano!

All of a sudden, the outside news media began to hype wildly, what [Argentine gang squeezes out Essien! ],【The Argentine gang will destroy Arsenal! ], [The main core was sold to a competitor, Wenger has given up this season's championship! ], 【Who is Modric? !We don't want words like "sheep boy" clamoring on the dust.

The outside media began to generally bad-mouth Arsenal, and a commentator like Old Jack, who eats black traffic, would naturally not let this opportunity go.

【Chen Mo's good luck ends here! 】

[Mr. Wenger is crazy! 】

[Arsenal has lost hope of winning the championship! 】

The league has just started a game, and they even tied last season's champion Chelsea, and the old Jacks directly made a point.
It can only be said that the rice should be eaten hard!

Every day, you can see different interviews in the newspapers, most of which are bad-mouthing Arsenal, but the coaches of the major clubs, including Mourinho, who always likes to spread hatred, did not speak out this time, they just expressed their nervousness and Another focus is on the second round of the Premier League, the match between Arsenal and Manchester United! .
On August 2005, 8, the Highbury Stadium was crowded with people.

"Get rid of Manchester United!!!"

"We are Champions League champions!!!"

"We are also Champions League champions! And we have two!"

"Oh! Get the bloody redneck out!"

"We are country bumpkins, what are you?! City beggars? Poor ghosts!"

Before the game started, the fans and spectators in the stands were completely ignited, shouting and cursing at each other.

Although Arsenal and Manchester United are not sworn rivals in the same city, they are definitely not inferior to the same city derby in terms of gunpowder. After all, the two sides have been fighting each other for nearly six years. Not to mention the fans, there have been many fights between the players on the field.

"Okay fans and viewers, I am very happy to bring you today's match between Arsenal and Manchester United in the second round of the Premier League! I am the commentator Johnson, and my partner is Old Jack!"

Behind the floor-to-ceiling windows is the crowded fan stand. Two commentators are sitting at the round table, and one of them is a middle-aged blond-haired white man who greets with a smile: "Hello everyone, I am Jack, and the commentary for today's game will be brought by the two of us." , Okay, so without further ado, let's go straight to the game.

Speaking of which, Arsenal is really leaking and raining all night, obviously this summer has just experienced disintegration, and as a result, the league has even smashed Chelsea and Manchester United at the beginning of the league, tsk tsk tsk, I really feel sorry for these little guys, haha. "

"Well, Arsenal's early-season schedule is indeed brutal, but their last game was a draw away from defending champions Chelsea, and someone kissed the ass of the donkey. Ha ha."

"It is true that Arsenal played very well in the last game, but Essien was still in the team, but now? Trade Essien for a 20-year-old Croatian midfielder? Modric? Who? Who is he? I used to Never even heard his name.

Look at his small frame, it's criminal to play him with Keane and Davies, I don't think he can help or even negatively affect this Arsenal team, whether it is facing Fabregas' dribbling, or center Ruud van Nistelrooy's retracement, or winger Cristiano and Ryan Giggs' inward receiving of the ball, it is difficult for him to provide defense! "

"Wow, it seems that old Jack is really full of resentment towards Arsenal. Haha, well, now that the lineups of the two sides have come out, let's see. Arsenal will play back to the 433 formation. The strikers are Henry and Giroud. , Di Maria, the back line is Bell, Chiellini, Samuel and Maicon, as for the midfielder, well, Mr. Wenger is as bold as ever, and he directly uses the rookie Mascherano to play alone lower back."

"After all, they don't have a better candidate for the midfielder position, do they?"

"Haha, okay, okay, put away your grievances. Well, the lineup for Manchester United has also come out,
Rooney, Ruud, Cristiano.

Davies, Fabregas, Keane.

Neville, Ferdinand, Sylvester, Heinze.

I really didn't expect that Rooney would be assigned to the winger position in this game. Mr. Ferguson probably wanted Rooney to take on Bergkamp's side midfielder last season? "

"Maybe, well, now that the players from both sides have entered the field, let's hand over the camera to the scene!"

The commentator babbled, and Chen Mo's ears were filled with cheers and shouts from the fans. Under the eyes of everyone, the referee tossed a coin, and Arsenal took possession of the ball and attacked from left to right.

"Be careful to be overturned by me."

"Training just happened to say nasty words again?"

"."

Shaking hands with Keane, who rolled his eyes, Chen Mo, who was wearing the No. [-] jersey, turned and returned to the center circle. His eyes swept over the faces of every teammate, including Mo Mo, who had just met and became close after the food offensive. dridge.

After getting everyone's heavy and serious nods, Chen Mo's mouth curled into a smile.

Soon, as the referee blew the whistle, Giroud knocked the ball back in the center circle. The ball had just passed back, and before it rolled to the feet of Chen Mo in the right midfield, Xiaofa and Ruud van Nistelrooy immediately surrounded him!
"You still want to double-team me?"

In the opening game, Manchester United directly pulled the rhythm without hesitation. Chen Mo immediately moved his feet and used his back to block Ruud van Nistelrooy.

"Don't try to get the ball!"

Seeing that the thin Modric was about to catch the ball, Ronaldo immediately went up to grab it.

He directly pushed his thigh against his butt, trying to give Modric a bad start, but at the moment he pushed his right leg, facing the rolling ball, Modric, with his back to Ronaldo, pulled back his left foot to meet the ball, and the ball instantly fell from the ground. Cristiano Ronaldo crosses under the crotch!
"HOOOOOOO! Wear crotch!"

"So flexible! In just five seconds of the opening, Modric passed Ronaldo with the crotch!"

"Hahaha, send Aveiro home!"

"Mr. Wenger's eyes didn't miss it!"

"Nice job, little one!"

The commentator got excited, and Arsenal was even more excited. Hearing the taunts in his ears, Ronaldo became annoyed and prepared to give Modric a shot, but Modric, who used his inertia to pass Ronaldo through his crotch, didn't stick to the ball at all. The first time he got rid of Ronaldo, or before he was about to get rid of Ronaldo, he had already kept the player positions in his mind.

The left foot pulls the ball through the crotch, and the right foot strikes the ball horizontally. The ball is just in the direction of Xiao Ma's movement!
"So positive!?"

Just after catching the ball, Ruud had already pushed behind him, Ma frowned, and subconsciously looked for Chen Mo in the frontcourt, but when he looked up, he only saw Chen Mo, who was double-teamed by Xiaofa and Keane, raise his right hand, Glancing from the corner of his fingertips, he realized that Modric had run to the left side of the middle circle without knowing when!
"Good spiritual movement."

Without hesitation, Xiao Ma directly slammed the ball diagonally. At the same time, Ronaldo and Davis, who were in a bad mood, immediately stepped forward to defend, but at the moment before the two of them pinched, Modly faced the rolling ball Qi once again distributed the ball with his right foot to Bell who came to meet him from the wing.

"Trouble!"

Great sound!

On the sidelines, looking at Modric running on the field, Ferguson secretly clenched his fists. Modric only had three passes and three moves just now, but every pass was able to pick the ball out successfully. The running position can help teammates pass and catch the ball!
This is a must-have trait for a top midfielder!
And Chen Mo also has this quality!
What will happen when two organization players who are super conscious, not sticky to the ball, and also like to touch the ball with one foot meet? !

Worried that Modric would be nervous in the first game, Chen Mo did not go to the frontcourt immediately after the opening, but stayed in the backcourt to support, but soon, as he discovered that Modric has a big heart, Immediately command your teammates to start pressing the formation forward, and at the same time push to the front waist position for the first time!

Chen Mo's ability to protect the ball is strong, and his ability to pass and catch the ball is also strong, but he suffered from the fact that he had no passer before and couldn't get the ball.

But Modric is here!
His ability to seize opportunities is very strong, and his passing is also very precise, and the three passes just now proved that it is difficult for one person to steal the ball from him, which makes it impossible for Chen Mo to be defended by three people again. With three people on defense, Chen Mo can get the ball!

Soon, in Ferguson's gradually heavy eyes, in the eyes of Mourinho, Rijkaard, Ancelotti, Messi, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Guardiola and countless other people watching the game, Arsenal Let's dance!
Chen Mo takes the ball in the frontcourt, Makoto plays behind, and Modric swings around Chen Mo like a big pendulum clock. At the same time, the striker trident sinks. Whether it is Henry, Giroud or Di Maria, they all have Good passing ability, and because Henry and Di Maria are very fast, Manchester United players dare not go around to defend!

Sun Tactics!

With Chen Mo as the axis of passing and cutting, the entire Arsenal moved into motion, constantly moving positions, constantly passing and cutting!
Soon, Arsenal pushed the formation to Manchester United's half!
