Chapter 426: Sigh Barrier (Everyday Transition)

Arsenal possession.

Lacazette kicked off and passed back to Xhaka.

Xhaka almost instinctively passed the ball to Li Kang.

Fortunately, Chelsea's front line didn't launch an extreme high press, giving him a moment or two to calmly send the ball out wide to Yin Wo Bi.

He tried to dribble the ball forward.

An extreme scene occurred.

Rudiger charged forward like a bull from the defensive line.

Amazing explosive speed.

Strong physique.

He literally shoved the young Yin Wo Bi off the sideline!

After winning the ball, he immediately passed it to Li Kang.

"Too brutal."

"Rudiger doesn't need to adapt to the Premier League; this is his consistent style from his time in Rome."

Waves of applause broke out.

Chelsea fans were very satisfied with this new defensive signing.

On the sidelines.

Tuchel looked furious.

His strong desire for control made him dislike this kind of serious positional error.

According to the pre-match plan, Chelsea needed to establish a defensive hierarchy across three lines; if Yin Wo Bi had more experience, he would have seized Rudiger's lapse to create a threat.

Dino quickly noted the issue in his little notebook.

"Boss, Li..."

"Li is right."

As Li Kang received the ball side-on, Ramsey and Edayan also closed in to press.

He didn't have a one-touch pass.

He didn't have a cow tail.

Nor did he rely on changing rhythm to escape.

He pulled the ball, adjusted his orientation.

He dug his studs into the turf.

He lowered his center of gravity.

He surged forward with his body.

He bodily knocked Edayan over!

He created space to advance!

Ramsey stared in disbelief, unable to reach his former teammate's jersey with his outstretched hand.

At Wembley Stadium, the blue stands erupted with a roar like a landslide and tsunami.

"Edayan's physique is too frail."

"Li Kang used the simplest, most violent method... to resolve the trouble at hand."

"Overbearing!"

"Crushing advance!"

Chelsea fans were thrilled: 250 million? What a bargain transfer!

After completing the breakthrough, Li Kang had many passing options.

He didn't continue to forcefully break through Xhaka.

From God's perspective, Hazard had the best receiving environment and subsequent processing space.

Smack!

The ball's trajectory instantly pierced Arsenal's defensive line.

Hazard controlled and turned, lightly slipping past Koscielny.

He then twisted his big hips and slashed diagonally into midfield.

He has a bad habit: unless it's a must-score chance, he doesn't like to shoot himself...

"Why isn't Hazard shooting?"

"Through ball!"

"The lead is a bit big; can Morata get to it?"

"Whoa, Ospina's timing on his sortie was perfect, neutralizing the danger!"

The attack was neutralized.

Morata quickly jumped up to avoid stepping on the Arsenal goalkeeper.

Hazard scratched his head.

Tuchel spread his hands.

Enrique felt capable for another season.

Li Kang and Ramsey patted each other on the back.

Enrique wasn't completely useless.

He brought Barcelona's back‑field ball‑out style to Arsenal.

The goalkeeper didn't kick long.

People are standing on the baseline and the diagonal of the penalty area.

The two wing midfielders make asymmetrical forward or backward movements.

Increase short-pass receiving points, reduce the passing range, and avoid mistakes in playing the ball out.

However, it's quite a pity.

Tuchel seems to have realized this, not committing too many pressing forces, and Chelsea still maintains its three-line defensive structure.

The ball is quickly passed forward on the grass.

Arsenal's independent offense, revolving around È Dà Yǎn, develops.

Believe that the fans in front of the TV will greatly miss his connection with C Ronaldo.

C Ronaldo once said that È Dà Yǎn is the man who understands his runs best!

This Arsenal midfield core has once won the assist champion in the Champions League, Europa League, World Cup, European Cup, La Liga, and Premier League!

ESPN live broadcast room.

-【Enrique still has the ability; in a while, in positional play they will counterattack, or if they need a set piece in the front, Arsenal is likely to break the deadlock.】

-【Seen, Arsenal players now occupy most of the central space, and are about to stretch the depth and width?!】

-【Lacazette drops back to receive the ball, È Dà Yǎn and Ramsey push up, exchange positions for passing, shake off man-marking; these few players have high ability to hold the ball high up, and can quickly speed up to blast Chelsea!】

-【Don't talk nonsense, Tuchel this guy doesn't like having players do man-to-man marking.】

-【Exactly, Tuchel's tactic is to lure the snake out of its hole.】

-【Chelsea's midfield and defensive lines will immediately contract, encircling and annihilating!】

No encircling and annihilating.

Tuchel's gesture suddenly stalled.

His original plan was to have Fabregas drop back to play the number four position, then...

As a result, the ball had just rolled into the forty-meter zone.

Kante chased back to tackle, and suddenly poked towards È Dà Yǎn.

The latter was willing but unable; even if he returned to his peak form from seven years ago, he might still not escape being called the French 'little black egg' known as the 'European tackle king'.

The ball lost control.

Li Kang miraculously appeared nearby, shoved aside Ramsey, and regained possession.

【Blue Bond Established: Sigh Barrier Lv1!】

【Your defensive coordination with Kante has received a slight boost.】

【The effect only takes effect after both are on the field together.】

Originally, Kante's favorability toward himself... pf pf pf, it's actually friendliness!

"Arsenal's mercury-like advance came to an abrupt halt!"

"Li Kang and Kante's contracting coordinated interception!"

"When these two players come together, their annihilation ability is somewhat terrifying."

Arsenal's front immediately launched a counterpress.

Li Kang decisively passed the ball back to Fabregas, who was in a better position to play it out.

【Blue Bond Established: La Masia Double Number Four Lv1.】

【Your coordination with Fabregas has received a slight boost.】

【The effect only takes effect after both are on the field together.】

Fabregas suddenly shuddered with his burly body.

He moved to meet the ball.

His body had already switched to a long-pass posture.

He swung his leg widely.

Peng!

The ball left the grass.

Above Wembley Stadium, a rainbow was traced!

"Beautiful!"

"The attacking idea is very clear!"

"The long-pass direction is perfect!"

"William!"

Right flank.

William sprinted forward at full speed, his explosive hair blown by the wind like a wig.

He received the ball.

He continued to accelerate.

Monreal quickly blocked.

The Samba wing made a sudden stop.

He swung his leg slightly.

45-degree cross!

The ball spun violently, falling toward the penalty area.

Morata shook off Mustafi, rushed to the landing point, stood firm, and headed!

Pa!

The ball lifted Arsenal's net!

Ospina stood frozen in place, arms outstretched... there was no time to react!

0:1!

!

Morata raised both hands, choosing not to celebrate.

Hazard and William surged forward excitedly, vigorously messing up the Spanish striker's hair.

Li Kang briefly reviewed the attacking process:

This Arsenal side is not weak.

But the midfield lacks sufficient hardness tactically, and Tuchel has targeted them...

Kanté gave a simple smile: "Li, we two are really good."

There's nothing wrong with him saying that.

Li Kang nodded seriously, and rubbed the other's little braised egg.

"Beautiful!"

"The ball went in!"

"Morata broke Arsenal's goal, refusing to celebrate! As the core of the Arsenal triple-crown winners, he still respects his former club in his heart."

"William's assist, Morata's header, the two joined forces to help Chelsea break the deadlock!"

"We have to say, part of the credit goes to the Blue Army's midfield trio!"

"Their midfield setup can produce a rich variety of tactics."

"Li Kang, Kanté, and Fabregas have such distinct styles; I didn't expect the three to be so in sync when they play together."
