Chapter 11: What is a Destroyer-Type Midfielder?!

The goal kick was taken.

Lewokusen's young defender had just received the ball when he was immediately pressured by the opposing forward.

The lateral passing lane was also cut off.

He had intended to turn and pass back to the goalkeeper.

In a flash, he saw a black-haired figure coming to support him.

Although many German players also have dark hair.

But Li Kang's build is too distinctive.

He smoothly turned sideways and pushed the ball over.

"I'm not just bragging! Li Brother's timing and positioning for the support were quite good!"

"It's this defender's pass... the power is a bit off under the opponent's interference!"

The ball speed is not fast.

The trajectory deviates greatly.

Kurt immediately charged over!

He couldn't believe that the Dragon Descendant kid could be faster than him.

At this youth team's level of play, he's a sure win in one-on-one situations up front.

Li Kang is indeed not as fast as Kurt.

But he seemed to have anticipated this situation in advance, stepping lightly two steps, cutting off the opponent's position, and stopping the ball first.

Kurt decisively stuck out his left foot.

That perfectly shaped calf moved with extreme speed.

Li Kang lightly tapped the ball with his right foot.

At the moment of landing.

A simple sideways turn.

His whole body leaned back against the opponent!

Kurt instantly lost his balance, staggered, and fell onto the turf!

This kid's build... how does he have such great strength?

He didn't even have a chance to adjust his steps or lower his center of gravity?

The boos at Sebene Stadium eased slightly.

Bayern fans also thought this scene was somewhat unbelievable.

How could our own genius Kurt be so easily knocked down?

"Awesome!"

"Li Brother's defending is also so smart! Bayern's number 10 hadn't even planted his left foot before Li Brother used his body to topple him!"

At the sideline.

Coach Tuop's expression eased.

He shot from the bench to the sideline and began directing the other players' runs!

On the other side.

Ogeltaler stroked his stubble: "The Dragon Descendant kid is smart; he didn't try to dribble past Kurt with ball control, but chose to use his body... though he doesn't look strong, his defensive ability is not bad."

The assistant coach nodded: "Kurt took them lightly!"

On the field.

Kurt watched Lewokusen's number 10 drift farther away from him.

His emotions underwent a subtle shift.

He had actually been humiliated by a Dragon Descendant?

In an instant.

Li Kang then carried the ball across midfield.

Facing the pressing Bayern defensive midfielder, he found an angle and delivered a diagonal through pass.

"Here it comes again! Guys!"

"Li Kang's god-level through pass! It's coming right up!"

"Holy shit! Havertz was shoved out of bounds by the opposing black-and-hard center back? That's insane!"

Too bad.

The 16-year-old Havertz's timing for his run was perfect.

But his speed and physique are inferior to those of the Bayern youth team's center back.

The ball eventually rolled out of bounds.

Havertz could only raise his hand, gesturing an apology.

The match continued.

The Bayern youth team restarted their offensive organization.

The scene quickly returned to how it had just begun.

Siege.

Under Kurt's linkage.

Their midfield and forward lines, including the two fullbacks, pushed forward en masse.

Relying on movement, they constantly swapped positions in the attacking zone.

The ball's advancing trajectory was like a constantly shifting mathematical shape.

It left the Lewokusen youth players utterly unable to discern the opponents' exact positions.

Fortunately, Coach Tuop had not assigned any man-to-man marking details before the match.

"Brothers, it seems a bit risky, after all Bayern isn't Borussia Mönchengladbach..."

"Look at this situation, a goal could come any minute!"

As the team took complete control of the field.

The Bayern fans' cheers once again echoed over the Sebenar Stadium.

Coach Tuop anxiously scratched his chin with one hand.

His other hand continuously directed the players' positioning.

But no matter how he directed, he could not change the fact that Lewokusen's defense was being wildly ravaged.

Li Kang kept shuttling back and forth across the pitch.

Even relying on the God's perspective, he was always able to provide timely support and cover.

But he could not instantly grasp the opponent's formation structure.

Guardiola arrived at Bayern and also instilled PositionalPlay into the entire Bayern club's youth training system.

This tactic, a refinement born from Cruyff's football philosophy,

It faintly sensed the ceiling of football competition.

The sole drawback: it demands extremely high overall rhythm and timeline from the players on the field!

Timeline?

While running, Li Kang suddenly realized that the shadow area of his brain was continually expanding.

All dynamic information in the God's perspective came to an abrupt halt in an instant.

All the noise around his ears vanished in an instant.

Immediately afterward.

The picture went wildly into reverse!

In countless fragments, he captured the temporal discrepancies in the opponent's attack.

PositionalPlay was a tactic that was nearly perfect in 2015.

But the youth team players executing this tactic were not perfect.

Kuert obviously had a temporal discrepancy with all his teammates!

The river of time flowed again.

Li Kang made a shuttle run.

He rushed toward the right side of the penalty area.

It happened to be.

The ball happened to leave Kuert's left foot, rolling toward the Bayern full-back who had surged up from the right flank!

Bang!

In everyone's sight.

The black-haired youth intercepted this perfect passing lane.

He turned sideways, made a burst forward.

He sounded the horn for Lewokusen's counterattack!

Sebenar Stadium, the Bayern fans' cheers... came to an abrupt halt!

"Awesome! How did he do that?!"

"It's not just a simple tackle!"

"After Li Brother stole the ball, there happened to be no opponent within five meters ahead of him!"

"He so easily broke Bayern's youth team's attack?"

Kuert stared blankly!

Aogetale widened his eyes!

Coach Tuop was the first to react, frantically shouting at the Lewokusen youth players to charge forward!

The afro-haired old man let out a hysterical roar:

"Get running!"

"Widen the counterattack width! Don't bunch up! Spread out! Spread out!"

One of the essences of the PositionalPlay tactic is a high defensive line.

But obviously the Bayern youth team's defensive youngsters have had few chances to gel in actual play.

Usually they are the ones pressing the opponent.

Even if the opponent gets a chance to counter, they cannot outrun or outmuscle any of them!

But this time it seems somewhat different.

That Dragon Descendant youth player coming head-on has a somewhat intimidating aura!

The ball passed the midfield circle!

Hafuci ran toward the right flank, dragging away the Bayern youth team's defensive midfielder!

Lewokusen's young forward Henglixisi desperately ran toward the left flank, pulling away one of the Bayern youth team's center backs!

Can they avoid being dragged away?

No!

Bayern cannot ignore that through ball from the Dragon Descendant youth player!

"Lewokusen! You've got something! Use this kind of spread attack! Make Bayern's defense left and right in a dilemma!"

「Pay attention, other players with slightly slower starts also spread out, turning into multiple late attacking runs, causing Bayern's tracking-back players to hesitate for a moment! 」

「Nice! They created a 1v1 opportunity for Li Xiongdi and the opposing centre-back through overall movement! 」

「Charge forward and it's a one-on-one chance! 」
