Chapter 123: He destroyed another defensive system!

~10 min read 1,907 words

Live broadcast room.

-【The away goal rule is so complicated, who can simply describe how Arsenal can qualify!】

-【If Arsenal scores another goal, they can qualify! Don't even think about other score results, it's unrealistic.】

-【Leverkusen's defensive weaknesses are too frightening, whether on the flanks or in the center, they're all shortcomings!】

-【Considering these players' transfer values, the ceiling is just the defensive level of lower-tier teams in the five major leagues; for Li Mingdeng to drag this team forward will be very difficult!】

-【Leverkusen's defensive system has been thoroughly studied by experts from the five major leagues; if they encounter someone like Hazard or Bale later, they won't be able to play!】

-【I'll analyze: Leverkusen can only defend next, because Wilshere has returned from injury, Cazorla has re-partnered with Coquelin as double pivot! Don't underestimate this combination, it's much harder than Ramsey! If Li Kang still plays the first-leg Xavi-style "slow progression" passing, his teammates receiving the ball up front will get blown apart badly!】

-【Likewise, as Cazorla drops deeper, Arsenal can no longer employ the first-leg tactic of "cutting off Leverkusen's midfield-forward connection" pressing!】

-【In summary: Leverkusen must make a change!】

Arsenal players didn't celebrate for long.

After the joy of scoring faded, they quickly realized: they must score another goal to escape the pit of elimination.

Lai Nuo's anger had nowhere to vent; he got up, jumped again, and heavily hammered the crossbar twice.

"You damn well can't just kick it up!"

Hilbert felt guilty.

In his youth, he was Germany's most promising right-back; while playing for Stuttgart in 2007, as a mainstay he lifted the Bundesliga championship trophy.

Now, as his age increases, he gradually feels inadequate in some aspects.

In the second half, he was repeatedly crushed by Arsenal's sturdy players; each physical contact he could only endure for a few seconds.

Li Kang walked slowly back to the center circle, the shadow in his mind spreading wildly.

God's perspective was replaying Arsenal's goal process.

The opponent's overall attack completely detached from the double-core organization of Cazorla and Wilshere, abandoning the most basic tactical framework.

Wenger saw through Leverkusen's weak side, letting Sanchez and Monreal take turns attacking the left flank.

Moreover, relying on their numerical advantage, they formed a wave-like second-point attack.

When the shadow in his mind frenetically contracted.

Li Kang had a direction.

As long as Leverkusen increases the weight on the flanks, the result of this match will be hard to change.

《What shape is Arsenal's midfield defense? It depends on whether Cazorla's position is forward or dropped! 》

The game restarted at the center circle.

Jisilin glanced at Beilalabi, ignored it, and with a reverse-footed pass sent the ball back.

Li Kang stopped the ball with his left foot.

Still didn't feel the change brought by Bergkamp's "ball feel" module.

Could it be another module triggered by a precondition?

Pa!

Before Giroud got close.

Li Kang passed the ball to Hilbert, who had made a run down the flank!

Immediately afterwards he began to charge forward.

Arsenal's central defense was on high alert!

Wilshere and Sanchez both ran toward Li Kang at the same time!

Hilbert hesitated, then passed the ball to Kramer's feet.

There was no way to pass the ball to Li Kang.

Under Walcott's harassment, Kramer had no choice but to pass the ball back to the goalkeeper.

Pitch side.

Tuopu Laotou angrily threw the mineral water bottle onto the turf, shouting: "Exactly! That's how to kick! Li Kang and I think alike! Strengthen the flank weight!"

Dino was dazed for a few seconds, then suddenly realized.

He waddled over to the sidelines and began to convey orders!

"Boss! When can I be as excellent as you and Li Kang?"

Kramer and Bender understood each other implicitly.

Their footwork is not bad.

Leverkusen's defense is weak, but their midfield and forward players are still strong.

Two simple short passes neutralized the pressure from Walcott and Giroud.

The ball finally rolled toward the right flank.

Bo ersi quickly made an overlapping run, firmly trapped the ball, and began a high-speed sprint!

"How come the space on Arsenal's right flank is so wide!"

"Leverkusen's advancing speed is very fast!"

Li Kang also started running on the left flank.

Relying on God's perspective.

He kept himself, Kiessling, and Havertz in a triangular positional relationship on the left side of the formation's front.

Wilshere and Sanchez, wandering around him, expressed being torn.

Isn't this Leverkusen kid the midfield core?

Why is he running around aimlessly!

Coquelin and Cazorla's thoughts didn't converge.

One thought they should stop the right flank's advance.

Another thought they should guard against the opponent's shift.

The two defensive midfielders each ran to the left and right sides!

Wenge helplessly covered his forehead.

He saw through Li Kang's idea, but couldn't convey the signal to the teammates on the field in a short time.

Nice!

Boersi and Bellalabi completed a brilliant wall-pass combination!

Bellailin can't hold up alone!

Kekelan was a step late!

Kelamo's timely forward run! Sent a through ball!

Bellalabi!

Lewokusen teammates accompanied Li Kang for most of a year.

Gradually fell in love with the 'All-out attack-defense' set of triangular attack theory.

Kelamo's timely forward run allowed himself, Boersi, and Bellalabi to form an attacking unit on the right flank!

After the wall-pass combination, a through ball.

Easily tore apart Asenna's midfield defense on the right flank!

The through ball was passed not to the preferred foot, and Bellalabi received it uncomfortably.

He slowed down slightly and made an adjustment.

This gave Asenna's defense time to react.

Motesake and Kesiqierni quickly approached the left flank!

Wenge rushed to the sidelines and loudly shouted to stop!

His voice was instantly drowned out by the roaring crowd's sound waves.

Bellalabi, this ball is going to be lost!

Kekelan's speed in turning back to chase is fast! Bellailin cut off his connection with Kelamo!

The opponent's two center backs blocked his space for cutting inward and crossing!

Hey! When did Li Kang get into the middle? Fortunately... behind him followed Weierxier, Kasuola, and Sangqiesi! Lewokusen couldn't form a threat!

Bellalabi was somewhat doubtful.

He didn't know why Kesiqierni suddenly turned back and retreated to midfield!

With a slap!

Instep pass!

The ball rolled to the outermost right flank!

Boersi suddenly accelerated!

Once again he smoothly controlled the ball, lifted his head to observe.

This situation doesn't require any thinking.

Left foot made a small swing!

Sent a low, flat cross!

The ball was swept to in front of Asenna's goal!

The whole stadium erupted!

Jisilin and Mengleyaer simultaneously made forward runs, striding out with long legs! They didn't touch the ball!

Look at this ball!

Exactly the same, also aiming for the far post!

Hafuzi!

Hafuzi threw his whole body forward!

Right foot tapped!

Thud!

The ball's trajectory was changed!

It roared toward the upper center of Asenna's goal!

Cech's reaction was extremely intense!

Jump up from the spot!

He blocked with a single fist!

The football smashed heavily into the crossbar! It flew out of the penalty area!

At the farthest point.

Lai Nuo was about to cry.

The same saving motion, the same crossbar, yet the result was different!

Havertz clutched his head with both hands.

He, whose career was still in its early stages, hadn't yet learned to give teammates a thumbs‑up.

After Cech landed, he didn't let up, roared loudly, and raised his hand to direct the defensive line's spacing!

As a goalkeeper, he saw Leverkusen's attacking route this time very clearly!

Netherlands, Amsterdam.

Kruyff had a smile on his face.

The gazes of the legendary veterans all showed admiration.

Especially Fan Jiaer, his face flushed, his breathing rapid.

"Strengthen the weight of wing attacks!"

"The first line of defense, Li Kang ran to the left side, drawing in Weierxier and Sangqiesi! Allowing teammates to easily advance on the right!"

"In this process, Ka suo la saw through everything! From Li Kang's positioning with Jisilin and Hafucizi, he judged that Lewokusen might likely make a lateral shift! So he thought we need to strengthen support for Li Kang!"

"But Ke ke lan is rather clumsy, he directly went to intercept the right-wing attack!"

"If the two holding midfielders of Ansennan have similar IQs and think alike, then they will never fall into a passive defense!"

"Look again at how Li Kang helped teammates tear through the second line of defense!"

"While Kelamo surged forward to support the right-wing attack, he ran toward the center! Coordinating with Jisilin, Ansennan's second line of defense had no choice but to compress space!"

"This way, the left and right sides' Boer resi and Hafucizi can establish lateral connection!"

"Pure Off-the-ball technique! He maximizes teammates' attacks! If Ansennan reduces the number of markers on him... then Li Kang still has four ways he can..."

"In the upcoming match, as long as nothing unexpected happens! Ansennan has no chance!"

Fan Jiaer could hardly contain his excitement, his words came in rapid succession.

Everyone nodded.

Although Lao Fan's bourgeois accent sounded unpleasant, its meaning was fully understandable.

Kelu yinfu smiled and added:

"He destroyed another defensive system."

"He overturned several of my theories."

"Bai er stadium."

"Gradually, the cheers of Ansennan fans could no longer be heard."

"Lewokusen fans sang the team anthem loudly."

"Bayer, Bayer04, wirstehenzudir!"

"Teammates, under Li Kang's guidance, took the attack as defense, launching wave after wave of fierce offensives!"

"Before Ansennan's penalty area, the wind sounded like cranes crying."

"Fortunately, Qiehe displayed godlike bravery, continually blocking and clearing, repeatedly neutralizing danger!"

"Ansennan's defense was shaking on the brink of collapse... but it just wouldn't fall!"

"Match time flew by quickly without anyone noticing."

"Dead-ball situations increased more and more."

"The broadcast camera occasionally switched to the coaches' bench."

"Elegant Wenge couldn't stay seated!"

"..."

"Elegant Wenge is arguing with the referee!"

"..."

"Elegant Wenge threw away his mineral water bottle..."

"..."

"The last minute of injury time."

"Bellabi shielded the ball into the corner flag area, bent over, stubbornly withstanding the frantic scrambling of Bellailin and Ke ke lan."

"Finally."

"The score remained unchanged."

"Beep! Beep-beep~"

"The head referee blew the whistle signaling the end of the match!"

"At this moment."

"Lewokusen bench, all staff madly rushed onto the pitch!"

"Tuopu Laotou fell hard during his run."

"Dino quickly carried him on his back."

"Li Kang was lifted high by Jisilin and Kelamo! Teammates swarmed around him!"

"Tonight's Bai er stadium belongs to just one name!"

"Lee!"

"!"

"Lee!"

"!"

"Lee!"

"!"

"Live broadcast room."

"Duanxuan and He Wei had complex emotions."

"I didn't expect that!"

"The match produced no suspense all the way to its end."

"Congratulations to Lewokusen! Thanks to the advantage of an away goal, they successfully qualified for the 2015/16 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals!"

"Bei lai yin's Champions League life-or-death battle has been put to an end!"

"Genius midfielder Li Kang, in the two-legged round of 16, turned the tide! He scored three precious goals! His total goal count temporarily topped the season's Champions League scorer chart!"

We are witnessing the birth of a legend!

Hope Li Kang and Lewokusen can go further!

After Arsenal pulled back a goal in the second half, they completely fell into a passive state!

They cannot break the curse, once again eliminated in the Champions League round of 16!

At the Bayer Arena, a lonely silhouette of an aging old man was left behind.
