Chapter 266: Tottenham's left-footed centre back?

The stadium broadcast rang out with the names of Tottenham players one by one.

The fans in the main stand raised their TIFO cards!

In the blink of an eye.

The giant TIFO with white background and blue letters almost covered half of the White Hart Lane stand.

'ToDareIsToDo.'

The away stand on the other side instantly became much quieter.

Wimbledon fans were escorted all the way by security personnel riding tall horses, risking being hit in the head by flying beer bottles, yet how could they be so suppressed in momentum?

After slightly building up emotion.

As the stadium DJ shouted out the names of Arsenal players.

The away stand reignited its momentum!

"Lee!

"!

"Arsenal lined up in a 4-3-3 formation!"

"Goalkeeper: Čech."

"Defenders: Bellerín, Maguire, Koscielny, Monreal!"

"Midfielders: Xhaka, Li Kang, Cazorla."

"Forwards: Sánchez, Morata, Welbeck!"

The live broadcast room.

Arsenal fans' hearts skipped a beat.

-【How could Black Belli start? Seeing him makes me panic, a big flop who can't score in an open goal!】

-【Manchester United's Black Pearl.】

-【Beast III.】

-【Belli doesn't score.】

-【Perhaps the professor considered that most of the game would enter a positional battle phase, and Black Belli is a stirring stick.】

-【If not Black Belli, who else could play? Walcott was completely shut down by Walker last season, and Giroud was crushed by Vertonghen.】

-【Are these Tottenham players really that strong?】

-【They really are strong; don't believe me, open the game and take a look.】

-【Don't bother searching, this Konami conscience game has shut down its servers, leaving only a cracked single-player version...】

Both teams' players took their positions.

Welbeck turned his head and smiled at Li Kang, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

He is a youth-team product of Manchester United, purebred and red-blooded.

From a young age, he was personally taught by Van Nistelrooy and Solskjaer how to play as a forward.

He made his Premier League debut at 17.

As for ability... people gave him the nickname: "Dark Four Heavenly Kings - Belli Doesn't Score!"

However, although he scores few goals, his strategic significance remains strong.

Li Kang nodded in response to this little Black Egg teammate.

The system prompt sounded softly.

【Ding, mission triggered: North London Struggle!】

【Mission briefing: This will be an extremely tough match; Tottenham's overall strength has neared its peak, and they can defeat any European giant! Fire the second shot of the Arsenal's conquest of London!】

【Mission reward: Tottenham Legend·Platinum Treasure Chest.】

The head referee blew his whistle!

Tottenham possession!

Kane kicked off, passing back to Dele Alli.

The entire White Hart Lane instantly erupted in terrifying sound waves!

The distance between the stands and the pitch is very short; fans leaning out to sneeze could possibly spray germs onto the players.

Arsenal did not persist with low defensive positioning in this match.

The midfield and forward players quickly surged past the center circle, pressing high!

Dele Alli held the ball steadily.

He not only has a strong physique, but his footwork has also been honed by the Iberian Peninsula.

With a slap.

He sent a diagonal pass.

The ball quickly rolled to the vicinity of Son Heung-min!

"The line was very accurate, sending it to his teammate's preferred foot direction."

"Son Heung-min last season followed Li.. to help Leverkusen reach the Champions League semifinals; we expect his performance in the Premier League this new season!"

Son Heung-min at this time has not yet grown into his complete form.

He had just controlled the ball.

His view was then blocked by the little Black Egg, like a mad dog.

Welbeck!

Stirring-stick type forward!

One of his strategic significances is: to hinder the opponent's midfield ball distribution and acceleration.

Ah, just a little more and the ball would've been lost!

Son Heung-min staggered, passing the ball back to a teammate coming up to support from behind...

In the distance.

Ali angrily raised his hand.

He had already run into open space, constantly asking for the ball.

Son Heung-min has had too few chances to appear this season and hasn't fully integrated into the team yet.

Fortunately he made a good friend: right-back Kyle Walker.

How strong is the latter?

Guardiola's hand-picked perfect right-back.

"Kyle Walker received Son Heung-min's return pass, not passing it to the Dale organization, but wanting to advance himself?"

"Wow! His impact on the right flank is too terrifying!"

Arsenal's forward press didn't stop, no longer quickly withdrawing the formation as before.

Morata chose a very suitable blocking position.

His confidence isn't very strong.

He always feels he's getting stronger, but there's no progress in defensive interceptions.

Kyle Walker sped up and charged, preparing to crush the handsome Arsenal forward in front of him.

Suddenly.

He saw Li Kang's figure.

Slap!

Quickly passed the ball sideways to Son Heung-min who had come to support.

Son Heung-min still couldn't shake off Verbeck's entanglement.

The ball was once again passed back to Tottenham's backfield.

"Arsenal's opening press is so fierce!"

"There's completely no low defensive posture!"

"Li Kang has been very active lately! Wenger has given him more and more freedom in the front!"

By the sideline.

Pochettino stood in the technical area, loosening his scarf around his neck.

His expression was calm.

Just couldn't quite figure out Arsenal's intention.

Immediately turned back to the bench and began discussing with Tottenham's coaching staff.

His in-game adjustment ability is very strong.

On the other side.

Wenger sat on the bench, chin in hand, seriously observing the situation on the field.

His brows gradually furrowed.

Boerde excitedly said: "Boss, our pre-match deployment was too perfect! The opponent was suppressed in half the field."

Alderweireld received the ball, lightly tapped it, and shook off the imposing Sanchez.

Nearby stands' Tottenham fans instantly burst into enthusiastic applause.

Who wouldn't like such a suave center-back?

"Toby!"

！"

"Toby!"

！"

"Toby!"

！"

People prefer to use this name to call Alderweireld.

Toby

As a child, he was coaxed and tricked by Van Gaal from Belgium to Ajax.

After achieving fame at a young age, he was taken notice of by Simeone.

Following Atlético Madrid, he won the La Liga title and the Champions League runner-up.

The Belgium golden generation's proper central defender!

Unfortunately, his ball-playing ability is not yet top-notch.

But he also has a Belgian central defender teammate at his club.

Vertonghen

How strong is he?

The left-footed central defender that world-class coaches dream of!

A luxury item in European football.

Why say that this historical period of Belgium is a super golden generation?

Not only the midfield-forward De Bruyne, Hazard, Lukaku...

And also this super-first-rate central defender pair.

Tottenham, thanks to their existence, completely shed the nickname "defensive black hole".

The advantage of a left-footed centre-back mainly lies in its impact on attack.

Vertonghen, who had moved forward into midfield,

He had already grasped the positioning dynamics ahead.

One stop, one lead.

Bang!

He then struck hard with the inside of his left foot.

The ball skimmed the turf, moving at high speed, weaving past Arsenal's pressing net in the front.

"Beautiful!"

"If Vertonghen were a right-footed centre-back, the best option for this ball would be to pass back to the goalkeeper!"

"Tottenham are going to speed up!"

"Kane!"
