Chapter 156: He's doing problems again
Hiddink took a deep breath and clenched his fists.
He did not blame Pato's inability in his heart.
It is normal for a forward to occasionally shoot over the bar in a match.
"That kid is too cunning, he didn't track back but instead slowed Hazard's forward run!"
"Keep attacking! If we keep up this tempo, Lewokusen won't last long."
VIP box.
Abu lightly tapped the armrest.
He turned and asked: "Back then, how much did I offer AC Milan to buy Pato?"
The staff behind him quickly replied: "Forty-five million pounds…"
AC Milan refused.
Abu looked serious and continued: "What do you think Li Kang, the transfer fee could reach in the summer window?"
The staff replied without hesitation: "Close… more than Bale in 2013!"
He thought this answer… was enough to please the boss.
Last summer's transfer record holder was De Bruyne: 75 million euros.
Based on inaccurate transfer rumors:
Bale in 2013 was very likely the first-ever 'hundred-million-euro man.'
In the 2016 summer window, what number will the transfer fee for the European newcomer Li Kang reach? The upper limit is probably about the same as Bale's.
Abu shook his head and laughed loudly: "You don't understand football!"
The match resumed.
Lai Nuo threw the ball to Van Dijk.
The teammates saw the coaching staff's instructions from the sidelines.
Gradually slowing the tempo.
The ball was being passed around unhurriedly in Lewokusen's back line.
Remy was very active.
He tirelessly ran back and forth, frantically pressing.
Pato waited patiently for a chance to intercept a pass.
But their thoughts never aligned.
"A faint sense of pressure!"
"Chelsea's forward duo's pressing ability is far inferior to that of Diego Costa and Oscar!"
"Even if Calhanoglu starts, we wouldn't fear this level of harassment."
"We can't let Lewokusen easily clear the ball from their own back line; Chelsea must hurry!"
In God's perspective.
Mou's concept left behind the 'first line of defense,' which vanished without a trace.
Even the speed of shifting the "second midfield defensive line"… became extremely slow due to Matic's absence.
Hiddink's Chelsea was like a strongman who actively stripped off his upper-body armor, shouting to engage in hand-to-hand combat with Lewokusen.
Li Kang stared blankly, suddenly feeling that the tactical review of this period had lost its meaning.
For example: after reviewing day and night, the exam didn't include a question that had been studied, and the difficulty was greatly reduced.
16th minute of the match.
Near the center circle.
Li Kang received a diagonal pass from Kramer with his back to goal.
William quickly approached from the left side.
Mikel came charging in head-on.
"The timing for a double-team is perfect."
"Mikel's coverage is huge, he reached the attacking midfield position."
"Hazard cut off the connection between Li Kang and Brandt."
"This ball needs to be passed back quickly."
Duan Xuan and He Wei were a bit anxious.
After they said all that, Li Kang still hadn't passed the ball.
The most reasonable approach would be to pass the ball back, reorganize the midfield, and launch an attack.
What's going on?
There's no way to play a safe, reasonable ball.
Wanting to break through the "second defensive line" in one go.
Li Kang must seize the weakness exposed during Chelsea's midfield pressing phase.
He lightly nudged the ball with his left foot.
He elegantly avoided William's outgoing foot.
Mikel eagerly lunged at his back.
The Chelsea mainstay who truly inherited Ma Ke Lai Lai's teachings excels at defending by entangling without tackling.
Sticky, gum-like entanglement.
It hinders your ball-release speed and limits your passing space.
"Drag it out! Drag it for a few more seconds!"
"As long as William adjusts his center of gravity..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
The scene underwent a drastic change.
Mikel was very smart and very strong.
He had experienced the lesson of the first leg.
The moment his body made contact with Li Kang's, he quickly spread his legs and lowered his center of gravity.
To prevent being overturned again.
The fans at Stanford Bridge almost couldn't help but cheer and clap for the clever and brave Xiao Heidan.
No!
How could he not feel that terrifying, domineering beastly power emanating from Li Kang's back?
Mikel was terrified, secretly thinking, 'Not good!'
Is this kid's center of gravity not relying on himself?
He's definitely going to pull a fancy move!
William, hurry up and finish him off!
No one knows what went through the mind of Chelsea's defensive midfielder in those few seconds.
Li Kang moved.
With a slap!
The heel of his golden left foot tapped back elegantly.
The ball lightly brushed past Mikel's side.
Mikel decisively wanted to destroy the ball!
At the moment of kicking.
A terrifyingly powerful force... surged forward.
His whole body was overturned!
Stanford Bridge, the crowd erupted in an uproar!
On the sidelines,
Hiddink went berserk.
He was so angry his whole body trembled.
Monster!
That kid first calmly flicked the ball, avoiding William's tackle.
Then, with a golden left foot, he completed an elegant move separating man from ball!
And he seized the moment when Mikel couldn't control his center of gravity while kicking, bringing him down!
How could such a monster have emerged in the top five leagues?
Too elegant.
Too savage.
"This kind of reasonable physical contact won't draw a whistle!"
"No foul!"
"The referee won't blow to stop the match!"
Li Kang's body surged forward, easily shaking off the defense of two Chelsea players.
Two seconds later.
He caught the ball passed to him!
He then surged forward with the momentum!
"The second line of defense collapsed!"
Only the isolated and helpless Fabregas remained!
At this very moment.
Lewokusen, once again sounding the charge's horn!
Brandt, Son Heung-min, and Havertz fanned out in attacking positions!
"Elegant left foot!"
"Terrifying physique!"
"He alone tore apart Chelsea's midfield!"
Stanford Bridge, tens of thousands of Chelsea fans couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
An inexplicable surge of indescribable fear welled up inside him.
Clearly, the blue team's back line still had a numerical advantage in defense.
Why are we afraid?
Could the boy in white number 10 possibly breach Stanford Bridge again?
On the sidelines.
Tuopu Laotou frantically waved his arms, urging Lewokusen's two full-backs to pick up the pace!
This is a fast-break opportunity that Li Hao finally managed to seize!
We must seize the opportunity!
We absolutely cannot let the game descend into positional warfare!
Dino kept raising his hands toward the away fans' stands behind him, signaling for Bei lai yin's horn to sound even louder!
「Bayer,Bayer04,wirstehenzudir!
!
Fabregas's ability to convert a top-down view is very strong.
It's not that abnormal without God's perspective covering the whole field.
But it can still grasp most of the information on the grass field.
He gestured two hand signals to his teammates behind him.
Chelsea's defensive line quickly contracted.
Cahill and Terry maintained a tight distance between them.
Fabregas did not directly intercept Li Kang.
Instead, he retreated to the edge of the penalty area line.
Integrated into the Mourinho-style defense as the "third line of defense!"
Relying on God's perspective.
Li Kang grasped the dynamic changes of the opponent's defensive line.
In the first leg, he had already witnessed the ultimate essence of Mourinho's bus.
The shadow in the brain spread wildly.
Under the spotlight, Leverkusen's number 10 slowed his steps.
The same problem.
Will he still get it wrong?
