My uncle is Inzaghi

Chapter 164 The winner is king

At the same time, on another court.

Real Madrid's home game against Galatasaray has also ended in the first half.

Cristiano Ronaldo appeared on the TV screen.

The commentator was also praising his performance.

"The ninth goal in the Champions League this season! Yes! This is his ninth goal in the group stage!! Cristiano Ronaldo's goals have exploded this season, ranking first in the Champions League with 9 goals, and La Liga Scored 22 goals in 14 rounds and ranked first! This may be Cristiano Ronaldo’s best season in Real Madrid!”

Cristiano Ronaldo's face is full of joy on the TV screen.

This season, under the leadership of Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid has been leading the way in La Liga. Since the main competitor Barcelona is in a certain period of turmoil after the coaching change, this gives Real Madrid the best chance to win the championship.

At the same time, in the Champions League, Ronaldo is also in quite good condition. What makes Ronaldo even more satisfied this season is that Li Mo seems to have declined in performance in the Champions League.

This is normal!

Young people still have to experience a little more setbacks.

But when he returned to the locker room, Ronaldo was still very concerned about whether Li Mo scored a goal.

He turned on his phone to check the Arsenal match.

Coentrao, the little Portuguese brother who was not loyal enough to him, immediately told him: Li Mo scored twice in the game against Paris Saint-Germain, and the total number of goals came to .8 goals, and he was only one goal away from Ronaldo!

Ronaldo's face froze slightly when he heard this.

"What nonsense does that Swede talk about?"

Cristiano Ronaldo pouted.

8 goals.

This is the number of goals scored after missing two games, which is really impressive.

Ronaldo clenched his fists unconsciously, his competitive spirit driving his fighting spirit.

Coentrao began to observe a moment of silence for Galatasaray. Because in the first leg against Galatasaray, their away experience in Turkey was really bad.

Real Madrid fans were beaten, Real Madrid players were harassed at the hotel where they stayed all night, and so on.

There's no way, it's a "devil's away game".

It's really quite devilish.

So this time back in Madrid, the Real Madrid players took a deep breath and vowed to make Galatasaray look good.

Now Cristiano Ronaldo is in such excellent condition, and he is holding back his energy to compare the number of goals scored with Li Mo.

Galatasaray fell behind 3-0 in the first half, and it was foreseeable that they would continue to concede goals in the second half.

Because Real Madrid has already qualified early, the team's goal in this game is just to improve Ronaldo's statistics.

Galatasaray just happened to hit the muzzle of the gun

In the locker room.

The Arsenal players were in a very relaxed mood. When Wenger opened the door and came in, you could see some dancing, singing, and some taking off their pants to show off their sausages.

It’s really a chaotic dance of demons.

But after Wenger came in, everyone calmed down.

"We did well in the first half, but don't think that we can rest easy in the second half! We are only leading by one goal!"

Wenger said, holding up a finger.

A one-goal lead is no guarantee, and Arsenal's players know that it's not time to pop the champagne yet.

In another locker room, Blanco did not talk too much about the first half. In his opinion, the reason why two goals were conceded in the first half was because of Li Mo's explosion, an upside-down golden hook and a direct goal. Free kick hits goal.

A flash of inspiration from a superstar is enough to take away the game.

What's more, people's aura... appears twice.

If Li Mo can continue to have three or four flashes of inspiration in the second half.

Then this game was lost, and Blanco admitted it.

No head coach can predict the outbreak of the opponent's top star.

Therefore, he can only arrange tactics based on the most basic accounts.

"In the second half, they are likely to choose a strategy of counterattack. This is Arsenal's most common strategy. After taking the lead, they will use counterattacks to expand the score."

Blanco said.

"We should definitely pay 120% attention to their counterattack, but more importantly our offense."

When Blanco said this, he looked at Cavani, who didn't play much in the first half.

"Edinson, I need to change my offensive thinking in the second half!"

Blanco said.

He didn't look at Cavani, who looked a little sad, but looked at Brazilian international Lucas Moura.

Little Lucas is his back-up man.

"Lucas, you have to be ready to go on stage."

"clear!"

The Brazilian perked up and responded loudly.

"Thiago, I need to be more aggressive in the midfield in the second half!"

Blanco then said to Motta.

Motta nodded. The veteran Motta had no objection to this.

The person who needs to replace him is an Argentine, Argentina international Javier Pastore.

In fact, after receiving capital injection from Qatar, Paris Saint-Germain has bought many good players, but there is still a gap between it and a truly super luxurious team - this gap is mainly reflected in the substitute lineup.

On Blanco's bench, the only cards that can be used on the offensive end are Lucas Jr. and Pastore.

Before the second half of the game started, Lucas Jr. and Pastore were standing in the substitution area.

"Before the start of the second half, Paris Saint-Germain took the lead in making substitution adjustments. Blanco made two substitutions at once, Lucas Jr. replaced Cavani, and Pastore replaced Motta. Judging from this substitution adjustment, Paris should play a 433 formation in the second half. Ibrahimovic is in the center of the frontcourt, Lavezzi and Lucas are separated on the left and right, and behind them are the double attacking midfielders Verratti and Paz. Torre, Matuidi plays a single defensive midfielder!"

The commentator of France Sports 1 analyzed Blanco's substitution ideas.

Zidane frowned slightly and said: "This proves that Blanco has completely overturned his pre-match tactical arrangements, or Li Mo's two goals forced him to make such radical adjustments."

"There is nothing we can do about it. For Paris, a draw is also a loss. They must win to qualify." Thuram sighed.

The reason for this is because in another arena, Dortmund is already leading Naples 2-0.

If Dortmund wins, they will get 9 points.

This also means that if the game is tied and the three teams are tied with 9 points, comparing each other's records, the three teams will each have one win, one draw and one loss.

In short, after complex calculations, with the same points, Paris, which scored fewer goals, will be ranked third.

Paris will be eliminated.

At the same time, Arsenal will rank first in the group with the advantage of defeating Dortmund 3-1 at home.

Paris cannot accept a draw, they must win.

This means that they must score two goals and not concede any more goals in order to advance.

Therefore, Blanco's adjustment can be regarded as a desperate move.

The desperate Paris Saint-Germain quickly launched an aggressive offensive.

However, Arsenal were well prepared for this. Both Sanchez and Walcott retreated very far back to the midfield line, protecting the front area of ​​the ribs and midfielder with Cazorla.

At the same time, Xhaka and Arteta will not stray too far from their back line.

Arsenal maintained a very reasonable distance between the three lines, allowing Paris Saint-Germain's offense to constantly maneuver back and forth from left to right, lacking substantial damage to the penalty area.

Ten minutes into the second half.

Paris Saint-Germain's possession rate was astonishing, but it failed to create any substantial threat.

Therefore, their offensive organization becomes increasingly simple, which is a sign of the impatient mentality of Paris players.

On the court, the more impatient you are, the more often it backfires and results in half the effort.

For example, Ibrahimovic is starting to get a little impatient.

He pulled out of the penalty area and tried his long shot to threaten Arsenal's goal. However, when Arsenal's goal was densely packed with defensive players, the long shot outside the penalty area wanted to threaten Szczesny's goal. The probability is really not high.

Blanc frowned and kept pressing his hands down, signaling his players not to be impatient and to remain patient.

But in the hustle and bustle of the Emirates Stadium, it is unknown how many Paris players received instructions from the head coach on the sidelines.

Sixty minutes into the game.

Arsenal also began to make the first substitution adjustment.

Ramsey comes on and replaces Walcott.

As a result, Sanchez's position moved to the center.

Arsenal's formation is somewhat similar to Paris Saint-Germain's first half formation.

A 4321 Christmas tree formation.

Cazorla and Sanchez stand in the attacking midfielder position, behind them are Xhaka, Ramsey and Arteta.

Li Mo was at the front.

This is a complete defensive counterattack.

Arsenal were one goal ahead and they certainly deserved it.

"Paris Saint-Germain need to make a little change."

The commentator of France Sports 1 sounded a little anxious.

This is also a manifestation of the mentality of Paris fans.

At the beginning of the second half, Paris was able to develop the ball into the frontcourt.

But as time goes on, football is now more active in the midfield, and the entanglement between the two sides in the midfield has become the main theme of the game.

Such anxiety made it impossible for Paris supporters to see any hope of scoring.

How can this keep them from being anxious?

At this moment, the voice of the commentator on France Sports 1 suddenly rose, making all the Paris fans in front of the TV become nervous.

"Little Lucas tried, but it was blocked! Arteta made a long pass!"

Following the narrator's words.

The football was passed diagonally from the left side of the Arsenal penalty area to the frontcourt.

Sanchez received the ball in the center circle and played two one-twos with Cazorla. The two used their skillful skills to successfully pass the ball through the midfield.

"Arsenal's counterattack is coming!"

In the commentary box, the voices of all the commentators became louder.

Li Mo was near the arc of the penalty area at this time. When he saw Sanchez chasing the ball at high speed, he did not choose to go straight into the penalty area - he was worried that Sanchez would be offside if he passed the ball slower.

He chose to drop back slightly and get the ball at his feet.

After catching up with the ball, Sanchez pushed the ball directly to Li Mo's feet, and then continued to move forward.

Li Mo turned his back and was entangled by Thiago Silva. The football rolled toward him close to the ground.

Although Li Mo has not yet received the ball, Paris Saint-Germain's defensive players are still gathering in Li Mo's area like iron blocks attracted by magnets.

This creates an avenue to the sky for Sanchez who drives forward.

Li Mo faced the ball while resisting the pressure created by Thiago Silva.

He really wanted to stop the ball at first and then try to do it himself - he is still a center after all.

But when he was held by Thiago Silva's hands, he also observed Sanchez's movement.

Li Mo immediately changed his attention.

When the football came in front of him, Li Mo didn't make any movement. He stuck out the toes of his right foot, gently picked the ball with the outside of his instep, and moved the ball to his right. The football passed along the ribs of Paris Saint-Germain's left penalty area. Got in.

Almost completely overlaps with Sanchez's running direction.

Like a knife cutting through butter, sharp and slippery.

Sanchez received a direct pass from Cazorla, then passed the ball to Li Mo, and then he inserted into the penalty area.

The whole process not only does not need to slow down, it is also constantly accelerating.

When he caught up with the ball passed to him by Li Mo, his position was just right and his pace was just right.

What he needs to do at this time is to continue sprinting, lift his right foot, tighten his instep, and draw the ball towards the goal with the instep!

boom!

The huge sound made the hearts of all Paris fans almost stop.

Siligu flew to save, but the football ball was so fast as it hit the ground.

When faced with such a single opportunity, the Chileans will not waste it easily!

The football passed through Siligu's fingertips and entered the goal.

Midfielder passed the ball, Li Mo made the ball, and Sanchez made a single shot.

The ball goes in!

This counterattack was extremely slippery.

"Li Mo takes the ball and makes a pass?! Beautiful!! Sanchez takes a single shot!! The ball goes in! The ball goes in! Beautiful! Beautiful counterattack, beautiful coordination, beautiful final pass, decisive shot!!"

In the commentary box, Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray thought Li Mo would come by himself.

But when Li Mo suddenly picked the ball to the side, he immediately noticed Sanchez who was advancing at high speed.

"Seventy-ninth minute! Sanchez scores! Three to one! Three to one!! Arsenal leads Paris Saint-Germain at home!"

At this moment, the game has reached seventy-nine minutes.

There are eleven minutes left in regular game time. Counting injury time, there is at most fifteen minutes left.

Logically speaking, this time is actually quite long. In fifteen minutes, who dares to say that Paris Saint-Germain cannot score a goal?

Nothing is impossible in a football game.

But when Sanchez scored after this goal.

Everyone knew PSG was finished.

They lost.

Paris' players simply couldn't find a way to break through Arsenal's defence.

In Paris, all the Paris fans in front of the TV put their heads in their hands.

Paris Saint-Germain fans never expected that things would develop like this.

They are also looking forward to defeating their opponents and advancing to the top 16 of the Champions League.

but now.

The team is already two goals behind!

If you want to advance, you must score three goals.

Li Mo opened his arms and hugged Sanchez.

"Well done!"

"Beautifully passed on!"

The two laughed, three to one! Arsenal is already heading towards the top 16. If they win this game, they will lock in the first place in the group!

Successfully broke out from the death group! !

On the sidelines, Wenger raised his arms high, and behind him, Bald rushed out excitedly, and the two embraced passionately.

Now.

Everyone's anxious hearts finally settled down.

Being drawn into the death group made Arsenal a little nervous, especially since Li Mo was absent from the first two rounds.

But the good thing is.

With three wins and one draw in the last four rounds of the group stage, Arsenal successfully broke through.

Won Paris, scored 11 points, and secured first place in the group! !

"We're going to play in the knockout rounds!"

Balder said happily.

Wenger was less than excited.

He reached the semifinals last season. This season, he can look forward to going one step further.

Reach the finals.

As for what we will do in the finals, is there any need to say?

Would anyone say, "We come to the finals just to feel the atmosphere, forget about the championship and so on"?

Then you must go all out to win the championship.

Blanco on the other side looked gloomy.

It's Li Mo again! !

This sentence flashed through his mind helplessly.

Yes, Sanchez scored the goal just now.

But this goal has a lot to do with Li Mo. It is not only his direct assist, but also because of his previous two goals, which caused Paris's defenders to pay too much attention to him - they actually forgot that Arsenal had Li Mo except Li Mo. In addition, there are first-class attackers like Sanchez!

Ever since, when Li Mo used a beautiful outside instep pass to pass the ball along the path of Sanchez's running, and created this one-way ball.

Everything fell into place.

Thiago Silva puts his hands on his hips.

He remembered the Confederations Cup in the summer, the match between Brazil and Italy in the group stage.

Before that, he felt that he already knew enough about Li Mo.

But we haven’t seen each other for months

Li Mo was even scarier than that time.

He thought he was fully prepared, but when he met Li Mo, he was not prepared enough.

Seeing Li Mo again, he actually has a certain dribbling ability, and he also made this coquettish pass just now.

Damn it, how can we guard against such a monster?

Some Brazilians want to curse.

"The game is over"

Zidane shook his head repeatedly.

To be honest, Zidane feels that even if he is in Blanco's position, the tactics he deploys and the response after falling behind are actually very different from Blanco.

This means that even if he is the head coach of Paris, he will lose.

"Even if I were to play at my peak, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to win."

Zidane muttered under his breath.

"This little guy is so strong. How do I describe his characteristics? I simply can't find a template for him from any past center." Thuram said.

"He's so versatile!"

This sentence was often mentioned by Wenger in the past.

But now he says little.

It's just that if he doesn't say it, others will.

But every time someone says this.

It all means that Li Mo is more omnipotent than before - the same almighty, but the degree will be different.

Paris Saint-Germain conceded a goal in the 79th minute of the game.

Conceding the ball at this time made them too passive.

They must score three goals in the next time to complete the lead.

This is undoubtedly a hellish level of difficulty.

Especially now the mentality of Paris Saint-Germain's players has become very anxious.

Ibrahimovic's face was ashen, but he had gained something in this game. He scored the only goal in Paris so far.

But his team conceded three goals.

And all three are related to Li Mo.

There have always been comments that Ibrahimovic is a master of food abuse.

Because he basically didn't perform well in the Champions League.

The arrogant Ibrahimovic was of course very unhappy about this.

He was holding back his energy and wanted to perform well in the Champions League to slap the media in the face.

But sometimes that's just how it goes.

The more anxious you are, the less likely you are to get what you want.

The same is true for Paris Saint-Germain now.

The more anxious they become, the more helpless they are.

Attack and defense in positional warfare require patience.

But what Paris Saint-Germain lacks most now is patience.

After conceding the ball.

Most of the Paris Saint-Germain players looked confused.

This shows how much this conceding hit them.

The most die-hard Paris Saint-Germain fans now have their confidence completely shaken at this moment.

Blanco's face was ashen.

There are still about ten minutes left in the game.

So Paris Saint-Germain can only use the last resort.

Long pass!

The long pass is a very old tactic.

Perhaps since the birth of football, the long pass and lob tactic was born.

behind.

Rough.

original.

But it remains fresh for a long time. Even now, even teams that claim to have some technical skills need to work hard and the world needs to score goals in the end.

They will all adopt this tactic invariably.

Because only long passes can create enough offensive opportunities.

Since positional warfare cannot be invaded.

Then you can only use long passes to attack.

Use enough offensive opportunities to try to create chaos.

Maybe with luck. Capture the opponent's mistakes and score a goal.

What's more, the long pass and lob tactics are simple enough and easy to implement.

The simpler the tactics.

The easier it is to execute.

The reason why this tactic lags behind is that it is not efficient. The reason why this tactic is widely used is because when you need to try your luck with enough attacks at the last moment, a simple tactic like long pass and lob can provide Enough attacks!

Blanco looked very ugly. If he had known this, he should have replaced Ibrahimovic and left Cavani on.

But it's too late to say anything now.

Paris can only rely on these people on the field to launch an attack.

Pass the ball into the penalty area as quickly as possible and hit it high!

Ibrahimovic became a high center forward.

Constantly fighting for the top in the middle.

It’s just that heading the ball is not Ibrahimovic’s strong point.

Facing two tall central defenders in Mertesacker and Koscielny.

Most of his headers failed to beat Arsenal's two centre-backs.

Faced with the bombardment of Paris Saint-Germain.

Arsenal are not passively beaten.

Instead, he launched a counterattack from time to time.

This made Paris Saint-Germain very passive.

Arsenal's counterattack is to maximize the success rate, pass forward when there is a chance, pass back when there is no chance, and control the ball to delay time.

They are in no hurry anyway.

In the 83rd minute of the game, Kaka came on as a substitute for Sanchez. At the same time, right back Jenkinson got a chance to play and he replaced Sagna.

Arsenal are beginning to find their match status for their substitute players.

But Paris is very anxious.

Under the influence of different mentality of both parties.

Paris Saint-Germain's offense frequently made mistakes.

Arsenal's counterattack frequency is also getting faster and faster.

Time passed in a state of ebb and flow.

The 87th minute of the game.

Arsenal's counterattack came again.

When he saw Li Mo taking the ball and dribbling forward, he attracted the defense and then distributed the ball to Kaka who came forward.

Kaka came on as a substitute and was full of energy.

He stopped the ball with his left foot and fired a blast with his right foot!

The football hit the bottom edge of the crossbar with a bang and bounced close to the goal.

Four to one! !

The commentary box went completely crazy!

"Four to one! Four to one!!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh! What else can you say! What else can you say!"

"Arsenal seals the win!!"

"Who could have imagined that this would be the case? Paris, with its luxurious lineup, was completely defeated by Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium! Arsenal's fighting power at this stadium was amazing. At this stadium, they defeated them three to one. Dortmund defeated PSG 4-1. Even if Arsenal lost to PSG and drew with Dortmund on the road, they could still qualify for first place in the group with these two wins at home! "

All the commentators in the commentary box went crazy.

Some of the Paris Saint-Germain fans in the visiting team's stands were sitting in their seats, their eyes blank.

Some held their heads in their hands, in disbelief.

Some even cried outright.

This game was a nightmare for PSG.

And give them nightmares.

It was the young boy chasing the wind who was running off the field.

in front of him.

Paris Saint-Germain's stars were overshadowed.

Blanco had a wry smile on his face.

Facing such an opponent.

All efforts seemed like a desperate struggle.

Li Mo had two goals and two assists in this game!

Such a performance is too dazzling.

And as soon as the ball was lost.

The physical fitness of Paris Saint-Germain's players seemed to be drained instantly.

Some of them fell directly to the ground.

Some held their knees with their hands.

Others put their hands on their hips.

Look up at the stars.

Looking up to the sky and sighing.

Some have dull eyes.

Anyway.

They all know it.

This game is completely ruined.

Li Mo played a total of four games in the Champions League this season and scored eight goals!

The efficiency of averaging two goals per game is too scary.

So the two goals conceded at the end actually came from a wish: the Paris players were instinctively afraid of Li Mo, just like the herds of cattle hunted by lions on the African grasslands, instinctively gathering into a ball. The same, but this way, other Arsenal players will get a lot of space.

However, Li Mo can still pass the ball!

Sanchez is like this, Kaká is like this.

Although their methods of scoring goals are different, the reason why they get the chance is the same.

It's all because of that Li Mo!

Four to one, the game has completely entered garbage time.

In fact.

Counting injury time, the game still had several minutes to end.

But at this last moment.

PSG failed to launch any effective attack.

They seemed eager to get out of here.

When the buzzer sounds at the end of the game.

They were indeed relieved and walked out of the stadium quickly with their heads lowered, but not many people noticed them at this time.

Paris Saint-Germain, who was eliminated from the group, has received little attention.

In competitive sports, the winner takes all.

At this moment, the winner is the one receiving the most attention.

The camera lens was firmly locked on Li Mo.

no doubt.

He is the biggest winner of this game.
