Football: Refuse To Give Red Envelopes, And Reward Full-Level Predictions!
Chapter 61, Creativity! This Is The Space And Goals Created By Li Ao!
The strength of Schalke 04 this season has declined compared to last season.
The most serious effects are mainly two.
The first is the team's offensive core, goal guarantee, front thigh, Lord of the Rings Raul is one year older, and Raul showed an inevitable decline in physical function during the preseason.
This is an inevitable trend as we age.
Another big impact.
It is the team's most critical defensive thigh, goalkeeper Neuer was poached by Bayern Munich.
It is said that a good goalkeeper tops the top half of the team.
For Schalke 04.
A Raul in the frontcourt.
A Neuer in the backcourt.
It is the fundamental reason why they have been able to achieve remarkable results in the past two or three years.
Relying on the stable performance of the two.
Schalke 04 reached the semi-finals of the Champions League last season.
Knock them out.
It is the opponent Manchester United in this game.
So this game is for Schalke 04.
The same is the battle of revenge!
When mobilizing before the game.
Schalke 04 coach Stevens is using this to motivate the team.
They want to avenge their elimination by Manchester United in the Champions League semi-finals last season.
Stevens took over at Schalke 04 at the beginning of this - his predecessor Rangnick resigned due to depression.
The Schalke 04 team that reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, now except for goalkeeper Neuer, most of the main players are there.
Therefore, their strength should not be underestimated-it is a pity that Schalke 04 reached the semi-finals of the Champions League last season, but at the same time, due to the impact of the European war, they finally ranked fourth in the Bundesliga and could only play in the Europa League .
Now in the quarter-finals of the Europa League.
They met Manlian who eliminated them last season again.
It can be regarded as a meeting of enemies.
But revenge is revenge.
Stevens still knows that dealing with Manchester United at Old Trafford must be very cautious.
Absolutely not to rush in.
First base on defense, then Xu Tu attack.
even.
If not.
It is not impossible to keep a zero to zero.
therefore.
The strategy Stevens formulated for Schalke 04 is to defend, recover the half-court defense, compress the space, and let Manchester United attack.
He studied Li Ao carefully.
He 23 found that Li Ao is good on defense, but on offense, he relies more on passing and a keen sense of smell to find space.
His individual combat ability is not strong, and his foot skills are not enough to get rid of the defense when facing double-teams.
To deal with such a midfield core.
The most critical thing is to block the space.
Let him find no room to move forward.
Are you going to pass the ball in the backcourt?
Then pass it on.
If you have the ability, you can pass hundreds of consecutive passes without making mistakes!
Otherwise, once you make a mistake, Schalke 04 will be able to launch a counterattack!
And no matter how many times you pass the ball in the backcourt, it is useless. To score a goal, you must pass forward, and the space in front is all blocked. How do you pass it?
You can only fall on the periphery!
And for Schalke 04.
It is in their favor to fight this game in the rain.
Because Schalke 04 is mainly defensive in away games.
And Manchester United, which dominates the offense, is bound to make more pass errors in rainy weather.
This is an opportunity that Schalke 04 can seize.
Stevens watched for a few minutes from the sidelines and then went back to sit on the bench.
He felt for a while.
It is difficult for Manchester United to pose any substantial threat to Schalke 04's goal.
The main tone of this game is basically the same as these few minutes-Manchester United is looking for space on the outside, while Schalke 04 is shrinking the half, compressing the space to the extreme.
If nothing else,
This is the main scene of this game.
Of course.
Stevens expected the unexpected.
For example, under heavy rain, Manchester United made a pass error.
Catch mistakes and fight back!
That's Stevens' strategy for this game.
Even if you can't win.
It wasn't easy to lose either.
Facing Schalke 04's defense of the shrinking half.
Li Ao, who is in charge of leading the team's offense, is not in a hurry to pass the ball forward.
To be honest, Leverkusen's lineup for this game is still very good.
The central defender has Matip partnering with Papastathopoulos.
Matip later went to Liverpool and was an important contributor to Liverpool's ability to revive its first Premier League title.
Papastathopoulos also went to the Premier League later and played for many teams, and he can be regarded as a famous player for a while.
The left back is Uchida Atsuto, a Japanese national footballer.
The left back is Hoagland, an international fringe player.
They are all national players.
In midfield, the two wingers are Fox and Rado.
The characteristics of the two are very similar. They are both the kind of wide players who can go up and down.
The two central midfielders are the forward midfielder Della Kesler and the defensive midfielder Hogg.
Della Kesler is an active national football player in China, and he can even be regarded as the main force.
Hogg is a rookie who has emerged recently in the national football world. He has actually been the main player of the U-series national team in the country.
Schalke 04's forward line is even more luxurious.
They are Raul and Huntelaar.
Needless to say Raul.
The status of Lord of the Rings is here.
Huntelaar is also Holland's national footballer - although most of the time he is on the bench, but you must know that the main center of Holland's national team is Van Persie.
It is normal to play as a substitute for Van Persie.
This cannot be said that Huntelaar's strength is not good enough.
And as the Holland national team was taken over by Van Gaal.
Van Gaal, who built the 352 system, is most likely to choose Huntelaar and Van Persie to match.
At that time, I hope that Huntelaar can carefully check the sticks in the locker room.....
In short
Schalke 04's starting lineup is very strong.
It is impossible for Manchester United to swallow each other in one go.
Li Ao is also aware of this.
Therefore, he did not rush to pass the ball that can directly penetrate the opponent's defense.
It's about patiently controlling the situation and looking for opportunities.
Even if Schalke 04 shrinks the defense.
But it is impossible for them to really lock all the spaces.
After passing the ball a few times.
Li Ao's eyes lit up.
A long pass came directly to the ball.
The football runs through and gives you the entire pitch, spot on for Ashley Young.
Ashley Young chests the ball.
"Long pass by Li Ao! Beautiful!!"
He Ping was very happy.
The Longguo fans in front of the TV were also very excited to see this scene. This was Ji Ao's first long pass transfer in this game.
very precise!!
only.
After passing the ball, Li Ao shook his head dissatisfied.
His original intention was to pass an early amount so that Ashley Young could run up and catch the ball instead of stopping to catch the ball like this.
Because of this.
Speed is gone.
Schalke 04's hard-won defensive loopholes were quickly filled.
Chance.
fleeting!
So Li Ao ran up again, ready to respond.
really.
After Ashley Young stopped the ball, he found that there was no space.
The opponent's line of defense is fully prepared.
Seeing this, Ashley Young had to pass back to the full-back Fabio.
When Fabio received the ball, he was observing Li Ao's position - this is the most basic requirement, no matter who it is, the choice of the tenth pass is Li Ao.
Li Ao ran to Fabio.
When Fabio passed the ball.
Raul, who was in the frontcourt, suddenly started and rushed towards Li Ao.
He wanted to make a sneak attack.
However, Li Ao seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, and he kicked the ball to Maureen on the back line.
But the rainy day was silky, and Raul couldn't stop the car.
slipped.
By the way, Li Ao was shoveled over.
The referee blew his whistle decisively.
Then a yellow card was shown to the somewhat helpless Raul.
Raul explained that he was doing this because his feet were slipping.
But the referee didn't look at this. Objectively, Raul was behind the tackle.
According to the latest rules of FIFA --- behind the tackle, the lightest is a yellow card.
If the spikes are bright.
There is no red card to run.
Therefore, giving a yellow card for this action is considered merciful.
Raul stretched out his hand helplessly and pulled Li Ao up.
"Li, sometimes I really wonder, are you really only seventeen years old?"
Raul patted Li Ao on the back, made a little joke, and ran away.
Li Ao touched his nose.
"What's wrong with being seventeen years old, and I haven't eaten your rice..."
Li Ao shook his head helplessly and thought.
But actually.
Raul is not saying that he grows old.
but
He was amazed by Li Ao's performance on the court.
Very mature and sophisticated.
Every time he handles the ball, he seems very calm.
There is no impatience like that of ordinary young players.
Raul is already a thirty-five-year-old veteran. ,
He's seen a lot of talented young players.
But when these young players first set foot in the professional league, they basically have a strong desire to express themselves.
The striker wants to hold the ball past the opponent's entire defense to score.
The midfielder wants a through ball to penetrate the opponent's defense and send a beautiful assist.
to be frank.
Like Li Ao.
He was so restrained, so cautious, and so stable when he got the tactical resources of the whole team.
rare!
At least...
Raul had never seen it.
"No wonder Mourinho wants him..."
Raul thought.
Although he is now a Schalke 04 player.
But the Lord of the Rings at the Bernabeu, the team he cares most about is Real Madrid.
This small episode did not affect the general trend of the game.
Under the stable performance of Li Ao.
Manchester United gradually formed a trend of suppression.
However, Schalke 04 is not without opportunities to counterattack.
The game came to the twenty-eighth minute.
Schalke 04 launched an attack after winning the ball.
But the attack was unsuccessful.
Della Kesler tried to make a change of tempo to pass Li Ao when receiving the ball.
The result was directly seen through by Li Ao.
Take the first kick and steal the ball!!
After completing the steal, Li Ao certainly understood that this was a good opportunity to counterattack.
He quickly launched a long ball, looking for the fast winger Valencia on the wing.
Valencia dribbled forward and soon met Fox's defense.
He didn't force a breakthrough.
Instead, keep the ball down.
At this time Li Ao has also come up.
Valencia sent the ball across to Li Ao.
When Li Ao catches the ball
He didn't have any Schalke 04 players around him.
It's not that Schalke 04 players look down on him.
But now the players of Schalke 04 are quickly settling.
In the process.
There will inevitably be gaps.
And what Li Ao is looking for is the gap on the court.
The first time Li Ao catches the ball.
Schalke 04's defensive midfielder Hogg rushed up immediately.
Li Ao turned around and looked to the other side while protecting the ball.
Ashley Young's side is already thrusting forward at high speed!
Li Ao's turn, coupled with Ashley Yang's forward drive.
Let the Schalke 04 players quickly make a judgment that Li Ao is going to pass the ball to the forward Ashley Young.
So their defenders are moving too!
while they are moving.
Li Ao suddenly twisted his body around and swept the pass with his right foot!
The football rushed forward quickly against the turf.
at the same time.
On the right flank formed a huge gap.
Fullback Raphael has been put on at high speed!!
The ball Li Ao kicked the ball up to keep the football at a height of about ten centimeters from the field [this is to avoid accidents caused by water accumulation when the football is running on the field turf under heavy rain.
under these circumstances.
All Raphael has to do is run forward.
When he catches up with the ball.
He already got the ball on the right sideline of the penalty area!!
At this time Schalke 04's defensive force moved over again.
Rafael wanted to break through, but he was worried that the field would be slippery and he would make mistakes.
at this moment.
When he looked to the middle, he saw Li Ao.
When Li Ao passed the ball.
Manchester United's frontcourt attackers, plus Cleverley and Park Ji-sung are all going forward!
Rush into the penalty area, ready to respond to the cross!
But Li Ao didn't.
He stopped suddenly while running, and then took a few steps back.
Re-153 gained an unguarded neutral area.
This is the gap he created on his own initiative!
His retreat temporarily threw the defender away.
There is no one around him to guard him!!
Of course Raphael didn't hesitate.
He passed the ball immediately.
The football is passed to you Li Ao's feet.
This time a pass to the rear seemed to slow United's attack down again.
It seems that this attack failed.
In particular, Li Ao did not pass the ball into the penalty area immediately after receiving the ball, but paused for a little adjustment.
This adjustment.
It gave Schalke 04's defensive players time to rush up again.
"Slow!"
The guest commentator, Tao Wei, who is also a famous football star in Longguo, patted the thigh directly.
He thinks Li Ao's adjustment was a waste of time.
Stop this attack.
only.
What he didn't know was.
What Li Ao waited for was the rush of Schalke 04 players!
If the players of Schalke 04 do not move by themselves if they stand in position.
How did the gap come out?
"Gaps on the football field can be created by yourself!! All you need to do is mobilize the opponent's defense and pass the ball!"
Doers' words lingered in Li Ao's mind.
This comes from the experience of a master midfielder.
Combined with the current situation on the scene.
Li Ao who gained full control.
Finally, he can control this match according to his ideas.
To confirm many of his ideas.
As it is now.
When Schalke 04's defensive players collectively pressed forward.
It is impossible to maintain their position perfectly.
on the move.
There is always room to be utilized!
Li Ao's brain is like a top supercomputer.
Enter all the information currently on the field.
Then calculate.
Find the best solution!
Straight plug!
Football is like a bullet fired from a sniper rifle.
from countless obstacles.
Found a narrow passage.
under heavy rain.
Football breaks the rain.
Pass between several Schalke 04 defenders.
In the surprised eyes of countless people.
The football made a small turn around the penalty area line.
.....
Cleverley, who went straight into the penalty area from the other side, rushed up.
In front of him.
Li Ao's through ball, which was half a meter above the ground, passed through the penalty area, fell from the air, and hit the ground.
under the rain.
The ball stopped suddenly.
Stopped on the small restricted area line!
This was a godsend for Cleverly.
He doesn't need to adjust.
Lift your foot and shoot straight!!
"Cleverly!!!!"
Accompanied by the stands.
Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray's shouts.
The football was kicked by Cleverly and flew upwards.
but.
so close.
Schalke 04 goalkeeper Holman only had time to raise his arm.
Then the football hit the side of his wrist, changed its line slightly, and flew into the goal!!.
