The top prediction at the start, I am the third ball king

Chapter 655 Li Chuanqi: Let me play midfield? !

How much does De Bruyne's injury affect Manchester City?
The Guardian believes that it will have a great impact: "In Guardiola's lineup, Lee may be replaced by someone, but De Bruyne is no one.

De Bruyne is the engine of Manchester City's midfield and the assist leader in the team and the Premier League. He is the top midfielder in world football today.

His absence will definitely have a great impact on Manchester City. Manchester City's offense lacks his organization and connection, which will greatly reduce the success rate in terms of offensive efficiency.

There is no doubt that Lee is the best striker in world football today, but how can he threaten the defense and score goals if no one is sending the football to his feet?
From a certain point of view, Li can seamlessly connect with the Premier League, most of the credit is De Bruyne!

Manchester City is like a precision instrument, and De Bruyne is in the most critical position of this precision instrument. Without him, this precision instrument will not work properly! "

"Manchester City Weekly" refuted the Guardian's point of view: "De Bruyne is indeed Manchester City's most important player, no one can deny this.

But to say that without him, Manchester City will have problems, this newspaper does not agree with this view.

Without the Belgians, Manchester City still has seat B, Mahrez, David Silva... They can take on the role of organizing the team's offense!
Guardiola's pass and control tactics have never lacked players who can pass the ball, but what is lacking is players who can make the final decision.

The arrival of Lee solved Guardiola's "pain in the heart". In the first five Premier League games, Lee has already explained to us that he is the "final decision" in Guardiola's tactical system!
De Bruyne's absence will indeed have an impact on Manchester City, but it will not be as big as some media said! "

More media adopted a wait-and-see attitude, without him, mainly because Li Chuanqi was in such a good state in the first five rounds of the Premier League, so good... It gave people a feeling that Manchester City could win as long as he was on the court.

……

At the Manchester City training base, after an hour and a half of training, the players chatted and walked towards the locker room.

"Lee, come here!"

Li Chuanqi was communicating with Sterling when he heard a shout.

"Go, the coach is calling for you."

Sterling patted Li Chuanqi on the back.

"Bernardo, you come too!"

Seat B turned to look at Guardiola pointing to his chest.

After getting an affirmative answer, Seat B and Li Chuanqi walked towards the coaching staff.

Guardiola said straight to the point: "Kevin is absent, we lack an offensive player."

Li Chuanqi and seat B nodded, but Li Chuanqi felt strange, what does it have to do with him being a striker and lacking a midfielder?
Does the coach want me to play midfield? !
As soon as this thought came up, Li Chuanqi startled himself, and quickly shook his head in his heart, thinking it was impossible.

Who wants to pull a top striker back into midfield?
And seat B is also here, it must be for the Portuguese to organize the offense.

"The initial proposal is for Bernardo to assume this role."

Guardiola looked at Li Chuanqi and said, "I have another option..."

Li Chuanqi pointed to himself, and Guardiola nodded.

Seat B looked at Guardiola in surprise, then at Li Chuanqi.

The Portuguese knew that he should seize the opportunity and said to Guardiola: "Coach, if Li La is allowed to play in midfield, I think it is a great waste, he should charge forward and score goals.

I think I have the ability to organize the team's offense! "

De Bruyne is Manchester City's core midfielder and absolute main force. Seat B knows that if he can't seize this opportunity to prove himself, the future will become more and more difficult, even marginalized.

Guardiola nodded towards the Portuguese with satisfaction.

He looked at Li Chuanqi again and asked, "What do you think?"

Li Chuanqi looked at seat B, and found that his eyes were full of longing, as if to say, give it to me!

Li Chuanqi smiled and said to Guardiola: "To be honest, I have never played in midfield for so many years, and I really want to try it."

Seat B's heart tightened, no way...

The Portuguese smiled and said, "Li, I remember that you said yesterday that you really wanted to be a goalkeeper."

Li Chuanqi knew that seat B was in a hurry, and thought he was going to compete with him for the seat.

The competition among professional teams is quite fierce, with many people competing for each position.

If he promised Guardiola to go back and play in the midfield, he would undoubtedly compete with the midfielder for a position.

It would be fine if he was a midfielder, but he is a striker to grab the midfield position... This will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the midfielders.

"But I think Bernardo is more suitable than me!"

Li Chuanqi looked at Guardiola and said: "He is a midfielder himself, and his ability is enough to take on this important task!"

With a look on the face of seat B, he took a long breath in his heart and nodded towards Li Chuanqi.

Guardiola looked at Li Chuanqi, then at seat B, and then said: "That's it, Bernardo is the No.1 choice, and Li is the second choice."

The two nodded, chatted with the coaching staff for a few words, and then left.

Seat B patted Li Chuanqi on the shoulder and said, "Do you really want to play midfield?"

Li Chuanqi shook his head and said, "I'm a good striker, why should I compete with you?"

The Portuguese said: "In any case, I should thank you for speaking for me just now!"

Is this to bring the relationship between the two closer?

Li Chuanqi shook his head and said: "That is a fact in itself, you are already capable of taking on the core role of the midfielder. In our match, apart from Kevin, you are the most suitable one.

If you are in other teams, you may have been the core of the team's midfielder! "

The Portuguese feel that Li Chuanqi is the one who understands him best.

……

After Li Chuanqi and Seat B left, the tactical coach asked Guardiola strangely: "Actually, we don't need to tell them this."

In the eyes of the tactical coach, Guardiola's status in the locker room is unshakable.

Compared with the chaos in the Manchester United dressing room next door, the Manchester City dressing room is full of vigor and vitality.

Guardiola said: "If, I said, if Li La is allowed to go back to play midfield, if you don't communicate with him in advance, do you think there will be problems?"

Ah!
Do you really want Lee to withdraw to play in midfield? !

The teaching assistants looked surprised.

The tactical coach said: "In fact, we don't need to let Li La go back to play in the midfield. We have a lot of midfielders, and this is a waste of talent."

Let a top striker play midfield?
Gua Shuai, how dare you think!

"It is indeed a waste!"

Guardiola said: "Actually, I don't want Li La to go back to play midfield. It's just to motivate Bernardo and put more pressure on Bernardo!"

Provocative method? !
After thinking for a while, the assistants gave Guardiola a thumbs up.
