Chapter 484: Triangle and Parallel Lines (Everyday Transition)

The match remained deadlocked.

Beep beep beep.

Burgos's Google high-tech glasses emitted a prompt tone.

"Watch out for Morata, he's now Europe's best striker!"

"Watch out, cut off his connection with Li!"

A few minutes later.

Kanté successfully intercepted Griezmann, He Shui Ge controlled the ball.

The two midfield enforcers who made their name at Leicester City were perfectly in sync.

He Shui Ge sent a low, long pass, finding the Chelsea number ten who had run into space.

The moment Li Kang received the ball.

Koke, Saul, and Gabi quickly formed a double team.

A sliding tackle.

Extending the foot.

Positioning.

Li Kang performed an L-shaped drag, evading Gabi's sliding tackle.

Immediately followed by a step, adjusting his center of gravity.

An outward step and turn.

Giving himself perfect passing space.

At the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, exclamations rang nonstop.

The spectators were shocked beyond words: What the hell is this freakish ball sense!

Smack!

The ball lifted off the ground, bypassed Atlético's midfield line, and fell straight to the edge of the penalty area.

Morata was in sync.

Godín and Giménez tried to "shut the door"!

They couldn't shut it!

The left-footed king's timing was nearly perfect, his explosive speed terrifying!

In an instant, he shook off half a body's length of Atlético's defensive line.

Cruyff once said: "It's not that I run fast, but my timing makes me look fast."

The ball descended.

Morata lifted his right foot.

Boom!

The ball blasted toward the lower left corner of Atlético's goal.

Oblak looked relaxed, moved early, and made a perfect side dive.

His red gloves firmly caught the ball.

Splash!

The Chelsea fans' sigh was instantly drowned out by the Atlético fans' cheers.

"Great shot!"

"Great save!"

"Oblak has played 96 matches for Atlético, keeping 63 clean sheets! In the 442 annual selection, he is undisputedly the world's best goalkeeper!"

"A 24-year-old genius from Slovenia!"

"Chelsea's attack this time also originated from a backhand."

"The transition attacks of both teams are truly astonishing."

Simeone clapped excitedly.

Tuchel remained motionless like a clock.

The livestream room.

The big screen replayed Li Kang's brilliant dribble, Morata's volley, and Oblak's extended side dive.

【Li Mingdeng's dribbling style is becoming more like a combination of Ronaldinho and Baggio. Every season's goal increase is so exaggerated.】

【I still thought Morata would shoot this ball into the stands.】

【Is Oblak now the world's number one goalkeeper?】

Morata tidied his hair, turned, and gave Li Kang a thumbs up.

Godín and Giménez excitedly hugged Oblak.

Li Kang tied his shoelaces.

Not tired at all.

The achievements of the Iberian Peninsula hero have long been triggered.

Saul reached out and lightly patted his back, wondering: "How come he's sweating so little?"

Minute 36 of the match.

Kanté again disrupted Carrasco's advance.

He Shui Ge promptly controlled the loose ball.

He then sent a long pass, finding Marcos making a forward run on the left flank.

Li Kang, Morata, and Marcos have formed a triangle.

"Marcos passed the ball to Morata up front!"

"Morata touched the ball with one foot and passed it back to Li Kang behind him."

"Li Kang was surrounded."

"He kept stepping, creating a passing space and passed to Moses."

"The ball was disrupted by Felipe charging forward."

"It didn't go out of bounds!"

"Aspilikueta stopped the ball."

"Aspilikueta sent a through pass."

"He found Morata again."

"Under Sa Wu Er's interference, Morata couldn't turn and simply passed the ball back to Li Kang."

"Ke Ke and Jia Bi quickly closed in."

"Li Kang touched the ball with one foot and tapped it sideways to the water boy."

"The Atletico midfield's relentless pressure."

"The water boy could only pass the ball back to Kanté."

"Kanté sent a through pass to Li Kang."

"Ke's Triangle was repeatedly compressed into a line by the Atletico midfield."

"Flank chase."

"Diamond Cut."

"Vision Blind Spot."

"By then, Li Kang had already run into a comfortable passing environment."

"A long pass."

"It tore open Atletico's central interception line."

"Outswing Curve!"

"Beautiful!"

"The ball's momentum was too fierce."

"Oh, what a shame."

"Aspilikueta was tightly marked by Godin, watching helplessly as the ball rolled out over the baseline."

"Live broadcast room."

"【Nobody can do anything to anybody.】"

"【Chelsea needs to greatly increase the receiving points in the middle of the formation to break Atletico's pressure.】"

"【Atletico, in its own attacking phase, also needs to greatly increase the receiving points in the middle of the formation to break Chelsea's pressure.】"

"【There are too few attacking points at the front of the formation.】"

"【Damn, no ball?】"

"The upcoming match."

"Neither side had many chances."

"The pitch seemed to be crushed into pieces, making it hard to push the ball into dangerous areas."

"Li Kang orchestrated play in midfield."

"Constantly evading, with short and long guidance."

"Even Atletico fans couldn't help but cheer."

"The energetic Atletico players made their defensive moves very clean."

"As of 2018, in past European matches, Atletico committed few fouls; even in the semifinal against Bayern Munich, the whole match had only 7 fouls."

"The awaited goal had not yet come, and the referee had already blown the whistle for halftime."

"Beep! Beep-beep~"

"Both sides' players slowly left the field."

"Dino quickly handed Li Kang a dry towel and a sports drink."

"\"Li, any discomfort? \""

"Li Kang shook his head."

"I don't know since when, but during every halftime break he feels like a boxer being \"cared for\"."

"Atletico locker room."

"Simeone loudly explained the adjustments for the second half."

"\"In the second half we must refine the details of transition attacks to lure their defensive line forward. \""

"\"Space. \""

"\"Their defensive means shown in the first half are rather simple, always trying to relieve pressure by locking down our midfield. \""

"\"As long as we strengthen repeated lateral passes in midfield and increase the frequency of flank shuttle runs, we can produce a complete attacking chain. \""

"A very concise language adjustment."

"Behind it lies ample attacking freedom."

"Are Atletico players really all trained to be engineers?"

"No."

"Watching Atletico's matches, fans will discover that the attacking players of the sheet army are extremely creative in the transition phase."

"If they were all engineers strictly following attacking routines."

There would not be a wonderful moment of Saul getting past five players in a row.

Simeone did not go on to say any motivational words.

The Atletico Madrid players remained high-spirited.

Chelsea's locker room.

Tuchel drew a horizontal line on the tactical board.

The horizontal line marked with time semicolons.

He patiently explained the tactical tendencies at different time points in the second half.

"When facing Atletico, every stage of our proactive attack hides great risk behind it."

"The risk is greater than any opponent."

"We must cover the gaps in the high defensive line at the fastest speed."

"In the positional play phase, we can appropriately increase meaningless repeated passes."

The disciples understood implicitly.
