What is a destructive midfielder?

Chapter 235 Poor Ranieri. (No goals, mind carefully.)
Mustafi embraced Li Kang excitedly, and slapped his forehead towards the stands.

As a central defender with a strong desire to attack, there is nothing more wonderful than getting assists.

"Li, how is my ball doing?"

"That guy Vardy's trash talking is endless, so I'll come up!"

"Scared! Our coach is Wenger, he won't blame me."

Li Kang was also a little surprised by the German teammate's ability to grasp the timing of the advance.

The style seems to be more unrestrained than the central defenders I have worked with in the past.
The current Arsenal team, if they don't experience the wave of injuries, the overall combat power is extremely terrifying.

Vardy spread his hands.

As a striker, how do you stop the opponent's defender from advancing?

His story is very inspirational and legendary, but it cannot maintain a positive image in front of the public camera for a long time.

Since he was a child, he was a troubled boy who was installed with an electronic tracking device.

A year ago, he was suspected of racial discrimination for insulting Xiaotian. He was also collectively bombarded by the Premier League media.

Not to mention the trash talk and small moves on the field.

Thanks to Ranieri's tactical system, the Blue Fox strikers have a lot of time to talk trash.

The morale of the Leicester City players has not been affected in any way.

Even if they were beaten 3:0 by Van Gaal last season, they still have the courage to chase 3:5!

side of the field.

Boulder and the coaching staff high fived and cheered.

"Boss, Li is simply the nemesis of low-post defensive tactics!"

"But Mustafi's forward move is too risky. If Huth is the one fighting with him, we may be behind."

Wenger loosened the red tie on his chest and said: "He can actually give the ball to Sanchez who is unmarked. Well, this kid has a strong sense of teamwork."

The other side.

The assistant coach of Leicester City is gone.

"Detective" Walsh jumped ship to Everton as sporting director.

Craig jumped ship to coach the England national team.

Only Mike, the goalkeeper coach, is left.

The three are the original members of Leicester City's coaching team. Ranieri did not replace his cronies when he took over the team.

After everyone worked together to create the myth of the Premier League last season, the players stayed away and the coaching staff ascended to heaven.
"Boss, my suggestion is"

BOSS
Ranieri likes being called that.

"Calm down, the game has just started, we need to observe for a while before making adjustments!"

"Give that kid a fight."

"Tell him this is the Premier League and this is the King Power Stadium."

His tone started out hard and gradually softened.

The Blue Fox coach is not a mediocre person. When he coached Fiorentina in the "Little World Cup" era of Serie A, he was able to fully stimulate the chemical reaction between Batistuta and Rui Costa.

Naturally understand the team's shortcomings in the new season at this time.

No one can replace Kanter's role.

My fate with Leicester City may not last until next spring.

The game restarts.

Vardy kicks back to Derin Cowart.

The latter is affectionately called "Brother Drinking Water" by Asian fans,
"Derlin Cowart is the backbone of Leicester City's attack."

"Hey? Mendy almost made a mistake in stopping the ball!"

"I didn't expect to go with my teammates."

"Hasty distribution of the ball wide."

"Majeres, he's a criminal in stopping the ball! The touch of the ball is amazing!"

Under the pressure of Morata, Mendy hurriedly passed the ball to the right.

The quality of the long pass is poor.

But Mahrez raised his left foot and stopped the football firmly.

As the Premier League MVP of the 2015-16 season.

He contributed 17 goals and 11 assists last season, ranking second in the Premier League in the number of successful dribbles.

The estimated value of him by the outside media has soared to 6000 million euros.

How much did Leicester City pay for him?
45 pounds.

Leicester City's advance on the right was smooth.

Mahrez encountered no obstacles.

Sanchez, who was facing up, did not press alone, but retreated to a position parallel to Xhaka.

"The two top wingers in the Premier League did not fight bayonets in the 40-meter zone!"

"Arsenal's three-back system should be a last resort. The defense of the two wings. Wow!"

The football comes to the 30 meter zone.

Sanchez and Xhaka pressed on Mahrez at the same time.

At the King Power Stadium, the cheers of the Blue Fox fans suddenly sounded: This is the prelude to a famous scene. Looking at the entire Premier League, in terms of single comparison, if Mahrez is ranked second, then only Hazard can be ranked first!

Mahrez's absolute speed Note that it is an 'absolute' speed, not fast enough.

Most of his extraordinary performances in Leicester City were based on having enough space to counterattack.

Not a static in-place get rid of.

It is not possible to simply compare the 'extraordinary kings' of other leagues horizontally.

Mahrez's success is inseparable from Ranieri's tailor-made counterattack details for him.

Player characteristics and team tactical style complement each other.

Let's take an example: Hazard is a runaway wild horse, and Mahrez, a racehorse, has Ranieri, a top rider.

It is a pity.

Mahrez has not met Guardiola in this period.

His stride frequency, direction change, and game thinking with the center of gravity have not been fully developed for the time being.

The player's early career is very inspirational, but his talent is extremely high, but it has not been fully tapped yet.

Don't wait for your opponent to move faster.

Relying on his terrifying explosive power, Sanchez's short and stocky body forced Mahrez out of the ball.

Xhaka easily intercepted the ball while cutting off the passing line!
"There is no way to dance on the blade!"

"The characteristic of the Premier League MVP has been thoroughly studied, which is to restrict your left foot."

"No foul!"

"Xhaka passed the ball to Lee Kang"

"If this continues, it will be difficult for Leicester City to form an effective advancement."

The moment Li Kang stopped the ball.

God's perspective noticed two figures rushing towards him.

Snapped!
One touch the ball and pass it to Cazorla.

Vardy quickly slowed down, ready to turn back and press.

Shinji Okazaki didn't stop, and slammed into Arsenal No. 10 heavily.

'Go up the confrontation! '

'We must give Li Sang some color, and we cannot let him control the rhythm so comfortably. '

"Even if Li Sang is strong, just grab the supporting foot he is passing on."

The Premier League is also studying Li Kang.

It is very consistent with the conclusion of the German team at the beginning.

Little days are confident, and if you grasp the scale well, you will not be caught.

Bah!
Li Kang landed on his left foot and put away his right foot.

I don't know whether it's because of Bellerin or Monreal's bonus, but his ability to control the center of gravity of his body has been slightly improved.

enough.

Okazaki Shinji stepped on the ground, and his whole body was suffocated on Li Sang's back.

It was like hitting a city wall.

Immediately.

The whole person was dizzy and fell on the turf in pain.

There was an uproar.

"The referee Darren did not stop the game."

"Cazorla got rid of Vardy."

"Arsenal's attack!"

Studio.

Barrages are flying.
-
[Shinji Okazaki confronted Li Mingdeng?Very irrational. 】
-
[Last season's small days overturned a lot of strong men, with the same strength as ants, and they can always overwhelm opponents who are bigger than themselves. 】
-
[It's normal, Leicester City is still restrained when playing against other giants, but when they are playing against Manchester United, they are more ruthless in "logging". 】
-
[Anyway, if you grasp the foul scale well, you won't get a card. 】
-
[It's over, Leicester City may not be able to touch the ball next. 】

side of the field.

Boulder cursed Little Day angrily.

Wenger was very worried, worried about the hidden wounds left on Li Kang's body.

Definitely not feeling bad for [-] million.

The other side.

Ranieri tried to keep himself calm.

He didn't seem to care about Shinji Okazaki's injury, but waved his hands wildly, directing the team to withdraw and deploy defenses quickly.

Arsenal are advancing very fast.

The speed of football delivery is also very fast.

When Li Kang ran to the 40-meter area of ​​Leicester City's half, he received a pass from Walcott.

Albrighton's flying shovel came in time.

Bah!
There was another muffled sound from the close-range sound collection equipment.

The football precisely found Giroud in front of him.

Li Kang staggered, stabilized his figure, and continued to sprint.

Albrighton clutched his calf in pain.

The game is still not suspended.

The referee Darren raised his hands and signaled Arsenal to continue attacking.

Giroud's technique is not bad.

Just occasionally misses.

This time he made a mistake for Morata.

with a snap.

Mendy intercepted the ball and made a strong clearance out of bounds.

beep!
The referee finally blew his whistle.

The Leicester City team doctor, who had been on standby for a long time, hurried onto the field.

The Blue Fox players were anxiously concerned about the injuries of their teammates.

The Arsenal teammates were not idle either, they ran up to rub Li Kang's back and right leg one after another.

King Power Stadium, boos one after another.

Fans on both sides started a fierce scolding battle.

Ranieri couldn't keep his composure.

He stood on the sidelines, frantically and loudly asking about the injuries of the players.

One goal behind.

Lost two main players.

Will the Premier League champion be beaten back to its original shape and return to the quagmire of relegation?

Moments later, the game resumed.

Leicester City are one goal behind and will not waste time in friction.

"incredible."

"Albrighton couldn't hold on to the game and was carried off the field on a stretcher."

"He was replaced by the club's standard king - Ulloa. Leicester City spent 800 million euros to bring him to the King Power Stadium."

"Shinji Okazaki has stood up, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

"Hey? The referee didn't give the card. The penalty scale is a bit too loose."

Walcott throws the ball to Cazorla.

The latter passed to Leicester City goalkeeper Schmeichel Jr.

Regardless of the scene.

Players on both sides will still respect the basic etiquette on the football field.

Leicester City serve from the backcourt.

Still have to rely on Delin Cowart and Mahrez to complete the advancement.

This single offensive method does not pose any threat to Arsenal.

"If you let Leicester City play anti-reverse, it's easy."

"But when you're one goal behind and you have to fight against a team like Arsenal, it's too difficult."

"The ball is lost again."

"The joining of Li Kang has raised Arsenal's midfield control to another level."

"Leicester City have to calm down, they are only behind by one goal, and the game time is still very long."

"Anti-counterattack is their best tactic."

It is not suitable for the elderly to experience too many mood swings in a short period of time.

Ranieri, 65, was uncharacteristically yelling in the command area.

"Confrontation!"

"Change the target of the confrontation to other Arsenal players, don't target Lee!"

The game gradually became fragmented.

Controlling doesn't always work.

Arsenal's frontcourt pass was met with stubborn resistance from Leicester City.

If the famous coach Sacchi can see this game, he will be very pleased.

Some systems just combine fouls to maximize returns.

In this era, many people would think: no matter what team can play pass control, there is a northern team in the Chinese Super League that can also play gorgeous pass and cut.

This view seems to be correct.

But it depends on the strength of the league.

Although the overall strength of Leicester City is far from what it used to be, if the tough guys throw off their arms to confront and cut off contact, Arsenal's offense will not be so easy.

Every now and then someone fell to the ground.

Dead ball time is increasing.

Li Kang also found that the opponent became more tenacious after adapting to his passing rhythm, or to some extent, the 'Saki Chain' system is highly adaptable.

Without Kanter.

The "substitute" Mendy used brutal actions to temporarily improve his interception ability in a relaxed penalty execution environment.

Thus making up for the deficiencies of defense.

The scene gradually returned to the familiar rhythm of both sides.

One presses and beats.

An opportunistic counterattack.

VIP box.

Leicester City owner Vichai watched the game with the monks.

The Thai tycoon will not be involved in anything governing the club.

"Well, our guys are playing really well!"

"The opponents are worth a lot, they have [-] million gentlemen."

"The victory or defeat is only temporary."

"We were beaten twice by Arsenal last season, and we still won the Premier League title!"

Very ironic picture.

The open-minded boss is comforting the club executives.

Time is passing fast.

The referee draws more and more cards.

The 46th minute of the game.

Xhaka's fault is committed: it is easy to get up when defending, and he can't control his movements.

bang.

He shoveled Mahrez in the counterattack to the ground.

"This action is definitely going to be a card!"

"Wow!"

"Red card!"

"Xhaka got a red card!"

"How is Mahrez's injury? Ah! It seems that there is no way to persist in the game!"

Xhaka covered his face depressedly, regretting leaving the field.

The tackle of the midfielder is also a skill.

Wenger stood up from the coach's bench, folded his hands on his chest, and frowned.

Ranieri seems to grasp the straw.

He quickly replaced Mahrez who was injured and played with Andy King.

In the fierce confrontation of the Premier League, one less player will have a great impact on the overall strength!

Mr. [-] million, can one be worth two?

The 'Saki Chain' system is best at playing more and less in local areas!
Li Kang was a little envious of the wounded in Leicester City.

He couldn't help but imagine how much he could improve with the blessing of the "Turning the Tide" module if he was a Blue Fox player.

the reality is cruel.

Among the frontcourt teammates: Sanchez is not afraid of confrontation, Giroud is very tough, Morata is almost immune to injury, Walcott is very good at rolling.
Arsenal's injury wave may have to be delayed until next spring.

dead ball phase.

"Lee, you can't get hurt, and neither can the other players."

"Strive to win the game with the least cost."

"The upcoming schedule will be brutal."

Wenger said earnestly while passing water to his disciples.

Li Kang nodded seriously.

He could feel the old man's worry...and confidence.

Win the game for the least amount of money?

Without the self-confidence beyond ordinary people, I can't say this sentence.

The fragmented game resumed again.

Leicester City's frontcourt free kick flew over the crossbar.

Tens of thousands of Blue Fox fans sang loudly, they saw the hope of equalizing.

This free kick is the starting point of the reversal!
finally.
The 90-minute game is over.

Leicester City 0:1 Arsenal.

Players from both sides were so tired that they lay down on the turf.

Only Li Kang was still standing.

God's perspective frantically replays the details of the game.
Numerous small arrows cross and overlap.

That is the precious wealth left by the famous coach Sacchi to the world football.

Many teams in later generations followed suit, and various branches were continuously derived.

Individual modules appear small in the overall framework.

Creators are far greater than imitators.

Li Kang felt that he seemed to have improved a little bit.

But it is impossible to sort out exactly where the progress has been made.

Ranieri paled.

The result of a small loss by one goal is far greater than the blow of a massacre.

Vardy didn't even have a chance to dive this time!

The opponent is fighting with one less person most of the time!

If you don't change your mind, Leicester City's next Champions League road will be equally difficult.

The temperature difference between day and night at the King Power Stadium was huge, and Wenger hurriedly put on a coat for Li Kang.

The Arsenal coach hesitated for a while and explained: "Next we will face multi-line battles. No one can be injured anymore."

Two days later, the UEFA Champions League group stage draw ceremony.
