What is a destructive midfielder?

Chapter 252 Aggression and Tactical Submission

Bailey looks very old, but is actually only 22 years old.

African Cup of Nations champion.

Best XI of the Europa League.

Mourinho likes his toughness and speed, and he is more aggressive than Phil Jones, who has been plagued by injuries.

The weight of the two tendencies, aggression and tactical obedience, needs to be balanced according to the actual situation.

Especially when you come to a new team, you have to consider the characteristics of different defensive teammates when making choices.

Bailey doesn't think he did anything wrong.

He rushed towards the football without hesitation.

If Smalling can't defend Morata alone, what's next for the Premier League and Europa League?

"Bailey is very fast."

"Li Kang is closer to football."

"I didn't use much force with my feet when I just made the steal."

“Football is about taking a few steps and being able to control it.”

Li Kang's left foot touched the football first.

Pull back slightly.

Avoided Bailey's flying tackle.

Knock the inside of your right foot again.

The football rolls backwards toward the gap diagonally ahead!

As he turned around, he accelerated in two steps.

Bailey was completely thrown away.

Old Trafford is boiling again.

There are no shadows of legendary stars.

He just used the golden left foot to pull the ball and turn around.

"Chicken and unrestrained."

"Escape gracefully."

"Bailey turned and chased back very quickly."

"Can't catch up."

"Li Kang didn't give him a chance to fight and sent a long pass!"

"back-court."

"Morata, one against two! He's surrounded!"

Morata has a high football IQ.

When he is fighting for position, he does not rely entirely on his body.

A fake move of speeding up and rushing to the outside forced Luke Xiao to take two steps back.

Many times, it is the smart people who can be deceived.

Smalling was stupid and did not make a fake move to eat Morata.

He has not received any systematic youth training. What his big brothers Vidic and Ferdinand taught him back then were martial arts secrets.

It is equivalent to having a university professor teach him calculus before graduating from elementary school.

Therefore, this guy's basic positioning awareness is often criticized.

No sloppiness.

Morata started eating Smallin raw.

Which way to run?

No matter which way he runs, Lee will definitely pass the ball.

in the lens.

Arsenal's striker got rid of the 1.94 meter Manchester United central defender in just a few steps!

"When Smalling was not that tall, he could turn around very quickly."

"He's not too slow now."

"Morata started too quickly."

The right side of the top of the penalty area.

Morata stopped the ball with his chest.

There was no rush to shoot.

He knew his role in this counterattack.

After all, he was the Real Madrid youngster who was taught by Mourinho how to play transition offense.

Forcing the shot will only waste this hard-won counterattack.

He raised his elbow to block Smalling's close body.

He moved the football flexibly and avoided the Manchester United central defender's kick.

He is waiting too.

Wait for Sanchez.

Didn't have to wait too long.

Manchester United players are about to get back into position!

Morata cut the ball and turned around, suddenly accelerated toward the baseline, grabbed the space for the ball, and sent a cross.

"Sanchez on the other side!"

“It’s so timely!”

"Insert rush shot!"

Sanchez didn't shoot.

The defensive positioning of De Gea and Luke Shaw was so good.

The Chilean striker completed his thinking at the moment of lightning.

There was a snap.

His dark, thick thighs knocked the ball behind him.

Set up the cannon!

Arsenal No. 10, arrived as expected.

There were waves of exclamations from Old Trafford.

My thoughts are drawn back to a certain season dominated by the blue giant beast

Isn't this just Chelsea's feint attack and long-range shot?

Mourinho on the sidelines was dumbfounded.

De Gea is going to cry.

He reacted quickly, but he couldn't jump from the near post to the far post in an instant.

The Old Trafford goal is 7.32 meters wide.

That's too late.

Boom!

Li Kang, who was unmarked, fired an unremarkable long shot from outside the penalty area.

An elegant arc without violent twists and turns.

There is no wind-like speed.

The football fell into Manchester United's net unimpeded.

0:2! ! !

In the Theater of Dreams, laments and cheers are constantly intertwined.

Pogba, who came back to defend, knelt on the ground and stopped beside Li Kang.

Mr. 100 Million angrily pounded the turf again.

"The ball is in!"

"Li Kang finally broke through the opponent's goal before the Manchester United players returned to defend."

"A classic moment from Dream Theater!"

"Arsenal fixes transition deficiencies!"

"He's worth more than 200 million!"

"At the end of the first half, Sanchez assisted and Li Kang scored from a long shot. Arsenal expanded its lead!"

Studio.

The big screen replayed the entire process of Arsenal's counterattack.

Barrage flying.

-

【what's going on? Why did Arsenal score a goal when I just poured a glass of water? Didn't Manchester United suppress them and beat them? 】

-

[Li Mingdeng is awesome! 】

-

[Isn’t this the kind of Chelsea counterattack that Mourinho does? It's just that in the initial stage, Li Kang and Walcott shortened the sprint time by passing the ball. One ran well and the other passed the ball far enough in advance. 】

-

[Lure Bailly again and disperse the defensive strength of the last line of defense. ]

-

[Morata's individual ability is strong enough, he can deceive one and eat one, and the timing of the cross pass is very accurate! I thought he was going to shoot by himself. ]

-

[Sanchez is good at positioning the gun, not alone. If it were last season, he would definitely shoot by himself. ]

-

[Manchester United's defense was disrupted by the two of them. ]

-

[Pay attention to Li Mingdeng's running and passing in this counterattack. It's amazing. It seems that he has calculated it well. Every link is just right. If the final shot is a few seconds later, it will be destroyed by Manchester United's returning defense players! ]

-

[Isn't Arsenal going to be invincible this season? ]

-

[If there is no injury, play first, if there is an injury, play second, rush to grab points before the large-scale injury wave! The Premier League championship is stable. ]

In the stands.

Ferguson's face flushed, his hands clenched the crutches, and he knocked heavily to the ground.

He wanted to beat up the club's scouts.

It was Manchester United who discovered that kid first.

"Can't Manchester United come up with 200 million?"

"Poor Wenger. He spent 200 million before retiring to build a dynasty!"

"No."

"He won't retire so soon! Li can still play for many years!"

So angry.

Even more angry than when Fabregas threw pizza at him.

It was Manchester United who discovered Li Kang first.

Clap, clap, clap.

The audience in the neutral stands gave warm applause.

Along with the cheers of Arsenal fans.

Many Manchester United fans were also infected and couldn't help clapping.

This is the value of Mr. 200 million.

Not just individual ability.

He also has the magic to reverse the situation instantly.

The Arsenal goal, which was originally in danger, played the simplest, direct and powerful counterattack under his instigation.

On the side of the court.

Bould was still confused.

Wenger was already surrounded by the coaching staff and raised his fists.

Exciting transition attack.

This goal is of great significance.

A counterattack without width and depth.

The Gunners are no longer the boys with avoidant attachment personality!

The first move is invincible.

The second move is domineering.

Who can stop this Arsenal.

"Oh my God."

"Lee has solved the problem that has troubled the Arsenal coaching team for many years."

"Boss, we have to replicate the miracle of 49 unbeaten games that year!"

"Calm down, this is only the fourth round of the Premier League!"

"Don't just celebrate, hand Lee a banana, he must be tired from running so far."

On the other side.

The Manchester United coaching staff was silent.

Mourinho called Bailey to him and roared loudly.

"What are you thinking about?"

"This is Manchester United, not Villarreal!"

"The back line must not lose its position."

"Even when facing the enemy's counterattack, we must move the defensive center of gravity back, instead of attacking and stealing at will."

"If you don't lose your position, we may even make another mismatch after completing the steal!"

"."

Bailey certainly didn't understand.

He didn't think he was wrong.

Last season, he was able to shut out Barcelona, ​​which had MSN, in Villarreal!

Mourinho looked at his disciple's confused expression, and his tone gradually weakened

Forget it.

Even if Bailey didn't lose his position, Li Kang might be able to play three tricks.

On the green field.

Li Kang was surrounded by his teammates.

Morata said excitedly: "Li, I know what you are thinking. This kind of counterattack is too easy for me!"

Sanchez was silent, scratching Li Kang's hair excitedly.

Walcott took the banana from the sidelines, jogged all the way to peel it, and stuffed it into Li Kang's mouth.

Bananas are high-potassium foods that can strengthen muscles and endurance. Improving concentration is not so magical, but experiments have shown that it is a quick source of energy.

For example, Neuer of Bayern Munich often eats bananas during games.

Carasso quickly asked everyone not to scratch so hard.

He was afraid that Li Kang was not injured by his opponent, but by his teammates.

The joy of one side set off the sadness of the other side.

The Manchester United players who had originally firmly controlled the situation were a little discouraged.

De Gea has not learned to scold his teammates yet. He patiently explained to Smalling the problem of defensive positioning. Although he has talked about it for several seasons, he may have to continue to talk about it in the future.

Pogba was reluctant to get up for a long time, with a look of loss.

Why do they lose to Li every time?

The national team loses.

The club also loses.

Ibrahimovic directly pulled him up, without speaking, with a grim face, raised his hand and pointed to the football in the net, signaling the French little black egg to pick it up quickly.

The game was restarted in the middle circle.

Ibrahimovic kicked the ball back to the backcourt.

Atkinson looked at his watch and immediately blew the whistle to end the first half.

The cheers from the four stands stopped abruptly.

The LED screen in the air above Old Trafford showed a score of 0:2.

Arsenal fans were happy to be ahead.

Manchester United fans had a strong ability to adjust their emotions at home. They were not too frustrated and left their seats in high spirits.

The home team's offensive was impressive, but they were unlucky and failed to score.

How many times has the Theatre of Dreams experienced a two-goal deficit at halftime?

It is not uncommon to come back from a 2-0 deficit to win 3-0!

Players from both sides walked off the pitch.

Cech put his arm around Li Kang's shoulder and said as he walked: "Li, you don't have to retreat so deep in the second half. I can solve the problem."

Which goalkeeper doesn't hope to have a 200 million man in front of him in a critical moment?

But Cech has a strong sense of overall teamwork.

He is the goalkeeper who best fits the bus system.

The key is not defense.

But counterattack.

He thinks Li Kang is more threatening when he is active outside the penalty area in positional warfare.

In the channel.

Wenger, who has the upper hand, will never be angered by Mourinho again.

He began to patiently think about the opponent's adjustments in the second half.

A moment later.

Arsenal locker room.

Bordeaux pulled up the tactical board.

After a brief exchange with the Gunners coaching team, Wenger began to make tactical adjustments in the second half.

"Pogba and Ibrahimovic represent the connection between Manchester United's midfield and frontcourt in the offensive phase."

"Thanks to their personal abilities and styles, it is difficult for us to cut off their connection."

"But the defense can be placed on others."

"Stay away from the dense crowd of Martial, and Lingard who runs around."

"Also pay attention to Herrera who is always plugging in."

"These three points are critical."

"If Mourinho replaces Martial with Rooney or Mata in the second half, then we must pay attention to the depth of defense."

Soon.

The defensive tasks were assigned to each midfielder and backfielder.

Li Kang was still not assigned the responsibility of defending.

Wenger always believed that it was a waste of 200 million to defend.

Manchester United locker room.

A very interesting incident happened.

Ibrahimovic pushed Mourinho and Faria out of the door.

The door slammed shut.

No one knew what happened between the players.

Two minutes later.

The locker room door was opened again.

The Manchester United coaching team saw faces that were no longer depressed and full of fighting spirit.

Mourinho's anger, which he was about to vent, also disappeared in an instant.

Sometimes.

It might be better to analyze and summarize the mistakes in a different way.

The fifteen-minute halftime break ended quickly.

At the player's tunnel.

Rooney and Li Kang said hello.

The two were not very familiar with each other.

But Xiao Pang was familiar with Kramer, Bender and other North Rhine playboys.

The last season's Champions League round of 16 and quarter-finals.

Rooney introduced many good places for Leverkusen players to experience the local customs.

It's just that the waiter was a little older.

Li Kang smiled, looked at the energetic Rooney, and began to simulate Manchester United's changes from a God's perspective.

He likes to watch Rooney's game highlights.

The memory has a huge base of data.

Tens of thousands of spectators returned to their seats.

The referee team led the players from both sides to step onto the green field again.

Old Trafford Stadium resumed its hustle and bustle.

"Welcome back, dear audience. Now we are broadcasting the fourth round of the 2016/17 Premier League."

"The second half of Manchester United vs. Arsenal!"

"Mourinho made the first substitution."

"Rooney replaces Martial!"

"Manchester United's formation is likely to become 4-4-2! It may also become 4-3-3!"

"Wenger is keeping his troops on hold. According to his style, Arsenal, who are two goals ahead, are expected to make substitutions within 60-75 minutes!"

Live broadcast room.
