What is a destructive midfielder?

Chapter 103

Chapter 103: Cologne? It’s the North Rhine derby again!

After returning to Leverkusen.

Li Kang did not watch the video of the game, but hurried to train.

How do you play Arsenal?

Premier League managers gave the answer, just go back and copy the homework.

Southampton, in particular, has the most professional tactical analysis of their coaching staff and does not have too high requirements for the player’s ability.

If the job can’t be copied.

That illustrates the Arsenal of this period. is invincible.

Arsene Wenger’s tactical framework has not changed much in recent years, but the characteristics of the players are very distinct, Sanchez and Cazorla, both have the ability to change the game.

Sanchez, in particular, is super strong and has a much lower center of gravity than himself.

There is still some time until the 1/8 knockout round.

Bayer Leverkusen still face the league test.

Four days later.

Bundesliga match day is here.

Bayer Leverkusen is about to play back-to-back away games.

The opponent in the ninth round is the sworn enemy of North Rhine – Cologne!

In recent years, friction between the two teams has been extremely frequent and intensified.

In the 2009 World Cup qualifiers, “Prince of Cologne” Podonoski slapped Balak in the face! Let the German team lose face in front of the whole world.

Ballack was still the soul of Bayer Leverkusen.

In the 2010 Rhine derby, the Cologne players returned to the dressing room after the game, found their belongings looted, and thought the thief was a Bayer Leverkusen fan!

In 2012, a player from Bayer Leverkusen was beaten by Cologne fans when he felt the customs in the city of Cologne.

Too many off-site friction incidents.

Every time the two clubs meet again, the conflict on the pitch is particularly intense!

On the training ground.

Dino just finished reading the starting squad.

So he pulled Old Man Top aside and whispered:

“Head! After discussion, the coaching staff unanimously agreed: think that this game should protect Li! Let Çalhanoğlu start! ”

“Well, you have a point. ”

Dino hesitated and continued to ask: “Boss, Cologne has been attacking very well this season, and they have brought in an efficient striker – Modeste! If the situation is not right.”

Old man Topp waved his hand: “It doesn’t matter, I will send Li out.” ”

Three o’clock in the afternoon.

Li Kang and his teammates took the club bus to the city of Cologne.

The distance between the two clubs is about 20 km.

Short drive.

Most of their teammates were closing their eyes.

Çalhanoğlu grabbed the coaching staff and kept discussing tactical details.

Despite his many flaws, he was very active in his pre-match preparation when he was at the heart of the midfield.

“Cologne’s defensive details are much better than Dortmund’s, they are aware of their weakness of the slow turning of their defenders, so the defensive line is arranged relatively backward! ”

“The distance between the midfield line and the back line is very short, we can’t play midfield penetration! ”

“But don’t worry, I’ll beat them! ”

Dino listened a little confused, he felt that the other party said a lot, and it was like he didn’t say anything.

Çalhanoğlu returned to his seat.

Look out the window at the magnificent Cologne Cathedral with twin towers.

I couldn’t help but secretly clench my fists.

I will be on the west side of North Rhine, Phoenix Nirvana!

The bus travels to the city and gradually slows down.

Li Kang looked curiously at the people in rags on the street, including old people and children.

The teammates could not imagine such a rich city and such an embarrassing scene.

“They are not residents here, and in September there were hundreds of thousands of people in North Rhine,” Kramer said.

Havertz frowned and interrupted: “Not hundreds of thousands, but hundreds of thousands, in short, my family said not to run around in the near future and pay more attention to safety.” ”

Brant patted his chest: “The safest place is still the dormitory, there are more than a dozen electric batons of security guards!” ”

The crowd laughed.

“Bayer Group and Bayer Leverkusen are the safest places in North Rhine! ”

The club bus slowly drove into the Rhein Energy Stadium.

The stadium was converted to Premier League standards.

The style is close to Old Trafford.

“Damn, what smells so bad? ”

“Head! It’s sheep, I let goose when I was a child! ”

As soon as everyone got out of the car, they saw Cologne staff leading a ram in a red vest passing by.

Cologne’s mascot is not a cartoon doll, but a live goat, named Hennes VIII, who is nine years old and lives more comfortably than a person, and the club bought several female goats to accompany him.

Bayer Leverkusen’s mascot is Brian the Lion, and in the fifties, a senior member of the club proposed to buy a live lion, but this proposal was not approved due to the intervention of the Bayer Group.

Pre-match press conference.

A reporter asked: “Mr. Thor, I am a reporter for Ruhr News, and you have not put Li Kang in the starting lineup for two consecutive games! Whether it’s because of the transfer during the winter break.”

Old Man Top’s face darkened, he hated this provocative question the most.

“I haven’t heard about his transfer during the winter break, it’s a rumor! Lee is only 17 years old this year, the club should pay attention to his protection, Messi also suffered a serious injury when he played for Barca’s first team when he was 17 years old! ”

“What do you mean? I didn’t compare Lee with Messi, you journalists! ”

“In the next round, Lee will return to the starting lineup, and the coaching staff will arrange everything, so you don’t need to worry about these toilet papers! ”

The other side.

Cologne boss Stögel is praising his super striker.

“Modeste has the strength to compete for the Bundesliga Golden Boot! ”

“He’s the most well-rounded striker I’ve ever seen! ”

“Bayer Leverkusen will see his horror! ”

Rhein Energy Stadium.

The stands on all sides are filled with a restless and violent atmosphere.

Countless scarlet extreme sex slogans were held high!

Fireworks from time to time, accompanied by various angry curses, highlight the welcome of Cologne fans to their mortal enemies!

“Hennes VIII” walked around the stadium as if a king were inspecting his territory.

Inside the player tunnel.

The Cologne players are all vicious.
