What ball king, call me ball god

On October 10, in the eighth round of the Premier League, Manchester United will go to Newcastle in northeastern England for an away game.

Newcastle is also a veteran and strong team in the Premier League, but it has not been very good for a few years, although it has returned to the Premier League now.

But the strength is definitely not as good as before.

At the beginning of the game, Newcastle's center Joe Linton was very active.

In this game, Newcastle played a 541 formation, which can be said to be the ultimate iron barrel formation.

Obviously, Newcastle's coach Bruce also knows well, knowing that if Newcastle wants to fight against Manchester United, they will definitely not be able to win, so he chose to play iron barrels.

The four midfielders are basically played by defensive players, so Joe Linton is the only serious offensive player.

In the deployment before the game, Bruce also clearly told Joe Linton, don't come back when you are defending, and be a counterattack point in front!

And Joe Linton has been in the front during the game and will not retreat to defend.

In fact, strictly speaking, it is the same with him or without him.

Because of this game, Newcastle has basically been doing one thing, and that is defense.

So Joe Linton's role is naturally not great.

In this game, Bruce's defensive tactics for Newcastle are not serious.

For example, with regard to Lin Kedi's marking measures, Bruce has also done a good job.

He arranged for Longstaff, a central midfielder in the 4 midfielders, to closely guard Lin Kedi.

Compared to the tactic of exchanging cards, using one of us to exchange your top card, no matter how you look at it, Newcastle has won, right?

But the reality is not the case.

Bruce thought very well, he arranged 541, of which 4 midfielders are two central midfielders and two full midfielders.

As for the two full-backs, he used Saint-Maximin and Almiron. These two full-backs were said to be full-backs, and Bruce asked them to do a good job of defending.

But in the actual game, both of them pressed forward, and even when they didn't press forward, the defensive abilities of the two offensive players were quite poor.

So in fact, the two central midfielders are actually defending in the midfield, but one central midfielder is used to mark Link's enemy.

The other central midfielder simply became a midfielder.

There are 5 defenders left behind.

In fact, the defensive formation is not as good as the more defenders there are.

Otherwise, the 10 guards will get it directly.

In the formation of 5 defenders, Bruce has arranged three central defenders, among which the central defender in the center, he imagined, can advance forward as a defensive midfielder, and retreat as a central defender.

But the idea is very good. In the actual game, the central defender basically disrupted the cooperation of the two central defenders.

Because the two central defenders don't know when the central defender will go up or come back.

For example, in the 11th minute, Lin Kedi broke through from the right and then cut inside to the center.

The central defender Russells is still in the midfield, the left central defender Clark is ready to step forward to defend Link, and the right central defender Scheer doesn't know whether he should go up or not.

Because firstly, he doesn't know whether Russell will return to his position, and secondly, he has to defend Rashford, the offensive player on his side. The ball, Rashford can get the ball and enter the penalty area towards the gap left by him.

So very troublesome.

Lascelles, however, did not return in time.

The right central defender Scheer was also worried that the defense on his side would not move forward, so Lin Kedi directly entered from the huge gap between the left and right central defenders.

Facing the goalkeeper's attack, Lin Kedi took a shot and scored the ball.

1:0.

After conceding a goal, Newcastle did not change their defensive strategy, but continued to defend firmly.

But, again, the Newcastle team under Bruce was not a good defensive team.

Although Bruce asked the players not to come forward on the sidelines, he insisted on defending in the backcourt.

But when the game was about to end in the first half, the two full-backs in the midfield couldn't help but stepped forward and wanted to press the attack.

And Manchester United's two wingers immediately stepped in and pressed up, playing Newcastle's neutral position.

Newcastle has a 541 defensive formation. Because of the forward pressure of the two full-backs, it becomes 523. As a result, because of Newcastle's lack of defense on both sides, the left back also inserted the right forward Perisic who wanted to defend Manchester United. Risic took the ball and was still thinking about what to do next. After all, Newcastle is densely populated in the middle.

As soon as he saw Newcastle's full-back rushing up to defend himself, he decisively passed the ball and passed the opponent with speed, and then made a move to cut in, attracting the left central defender to attack. When the left central defender made an attack, he swept across the goal decisively .

Lin Kedi rushed out from the crowd behind the left central defender, and the players marking him alone couldn't keep up with him.

Lin Kedi took advantage of the goalkeeper's unpreparedness and swiped with his right foot.

The ball goes into the net.

2:0.

Lin Kedi scored twice.

"This is Link's 8th goal in 15 Premier League games. If you add the 5 goals in the two Champions League games, Link has scored 10 goals in 20 official games after joining Manchester United. The scoring efficiency of two goals is too scary!"

But Lin Kedi said that the scoring efficiency in the Premier League has not yet reached an average of two goals per game, no!

Therefore, after changing sides to fight again in the second half of the game, Manchester United got a free kick in the frontcourt in the 59th minute.

Link stood in front of the ball.

Newcastle's goalkeeper Dubravka was very nervous, mainly because Lin Kedi joined Manchester United and scored 10 goals in 20 games, 4 of which were free kicks.

The efficiency of this free kick goal is also extremely high.

Dubravka did not dare to neglect, and stood in front of the door directing the movement of the wall.

But these are in vain.

I saw Lin Kedi swinging his thigh, and the ball had already entered the net.

Dubravka stood still and failed to make a save on the spot.

3:0.

"Link Kedi scored a hat-trick! This is Link's 8th goal in 16 Premier League games. Link not only averaged 2 goals per game in the Champions League, but also averaged 2 goals per game in the league. Great achievement!"

After the goal was scored, the Newcastle team also completely surrendered their guns.

After the 65th minute of the game, Lin Kedi was also replaced.

Because after this game is over, it will be the national team match day.

Lin Kedi has two world preliminaries in this national team match day cycle.

Lippi contacted the Manchester United club in advance, and also chatted with Ten Hag. Lin Kedi will play in both games, but as long as he is guaranteed to win, Lippi will replace Link in advance.

Facing the seniors in the head coaching industry, Ten Hag also said so frankly, and he also took the initiative to give in, saying that in the game against Newcastle, if he guarantees a one-goal lead, he will be replaced more than 1 minutes earlier. .

Of course, Ten Hag had also communicated with Link beforehand.

Of course, Lin Kedi agreed.

After this game, Lin Kedi not only won the best player of the game, but also won the best player of September officially awarded by the Premier League.

Together they were handed over to Lin Kedi after the game.

When Lin Kedi was being interviewed.

The reporter also asked Lin Kedi a question.

"Lin, did you watch Today's Sports yesterday? Henry publicly stated on the program that you may be the best goal-scoring player in the world right now. I want to ask, do you think Henry's evaluation is correct?"

"Haha, yes—or yes!"

"Not right?"

"Because I can not only score goals, but also my passing and defensive ability, I think it's pretty good too!"

After Lin Kedi responded briefly, the interview ended.

To be honest, Lin Kedi's schedule is very tight.

The game was played at 10:6 pm on October 6th, BJ time, and it was almost 9:[-] when the game ended.

The first match of the world preliminaries was played at the home court of the Chinese team.

It will be held in Guangzhou on October 10.

Lin Kedi set off directly for Guangzhou that night.

At noon the next day, I arrived at the hotel in Guangzhou and rested for a few hours.

In the afternoon, I quickly met with my teammates at the Guangzhou team's training base.

The teammates of the national team are still a little confused.

Seeing that Lin Kedi joined the training directly, Wu Lei couldn't help asking.

"Defeat, you just finished the game last night, and you're in Guangzhou today?"

"I want to come back to meet you soon! The first home game must be played beautifully!"

The teammates saw that the biggest players in the team had such an attitude, so they naturally stepped up a lot in training.

Lippi chatted with Lin Kedi before the game.

"Lin, if the game is guaranteed to be 2-0, I will replace you and rest."

"Coach, I'm afraid you will replace me in the first half."

When Lippi heard this, he looked at Lin Kedi. The two looked at each other and laughed.

"Lin, are you so confident?"

"Facing Guam, I think it won't work if we don't win 5-0 in the first half!"

"Lin, I just admire your confidence and domineering, which is very good, and other team members should also have your temperament!"

"Coach, self-confidence and arrogance need to be cultivated by winning every game. If we keep winning, the whole team will have this kind of confidence!"

"Well, you're right!"

(In the real world, this game was the national football team’s 7-0 victory over Guam)

On October 10, Guangzhou Tianhe Stadium.

The Tianhe Stadium, which can accommodate more than 4 people, is already full of seats.

Lin Kedi started the game.

Causing the carnival of the fans.

Compared with last month, there are some changes in this national football start.

Even Jiang Shenglong entered the starting lineup and formed a central defender with Zhu Chenjie, while Zhang Linpeng played at right back.

The left back is Li Lei.

The single midfielder is Xu Xin.

The left midfielder is Wu Xi, and the right midfielder is Hao Junmin.

The left winger is Wu Lei, and the right winger is Zhang Yuning.

The center is Lin Kedi.

After the start of the game, the national football team basically crushed the opponent.

It's been like that from minute 1.

In the first half of the game, the national football team took the lead in kicking off.

After Lin Kedi kicked the ball to Wu Xi, he ran forward and Wu Xi passed it directly to Lin Kedi.

Lin Kedi originally wanted to split the side to Zhang Yuning on the right, but after taking two steps, he found that the opponent's stride frequency and defensive position were too amateurish.

Couldn't help taking two extra steps.

As a result, he took it with him and arrived in front of the central defender.

The opponent can't even get close to Lin Kedi if he wants to foul.

Lin Kedi is not interested in continuing to dribble into the penalty area.

Because the opponent's goalkeeper was also in an amateurish position, Lin Kedi was directly outside the penalty area, across a line of defense, took a look, and hit a shot.

Aiming at the neutral position of the defense line, he hit a dead corner.

Less than 1 minute into the game, Lin Kedi scored 1 goal.

Lin Kedi didn't celebrate after scoring the goal, but turned his head and pointed at Wu Xi.

Meaning your passing is good.

Next, Lin Kedi scored consecutive goals in the 3rd, 8th, 10th, and 11th minutes, scoring five goals alone.

After scoring 5 goals, Lin Kedi stopped taking the initiative to score goals and began to pass the ball to his teammates.

In the 16th and 19th minutes, Wu Lei scored two goals in a row.

They were all assisted by Linke.

Then in the 27th and 38th minutes, Zhang Yuning also scored two goals in a row, which were also assisted by Lin Kedi.

Lin Kedi even switched positions with Zhang Yuning directly, letting Zhang Yuning go to the center position, and he went to the right to pass the ball.

So, in the 44th minute, Lin Kedi kicked from the right and Zhang Yuning completed a hat-trick.

At the end of the first half, the Chinese team led 9-0.

So at the 50th minute of the second half, Lippi replaced Lin Kedi and let him rest.

Although the fans at the scene were a little regretful because of Lin Kedi's end, the Chinese team's offensive continued unabated. By the end of the game, it was already 15-0.

The fans at the scene can be said to have watched a wonderful goal battle, and they were naturally very excited.

After this game, the Chinese team ranked first in this group, and the advantage of goal difference is that it leads all other teams by a large margin.

Five days later, the national football team flew to Bacolod in the Philippines to play the Philippines, the third most powerful team in this group.

The opponent's ranking is actually worse than that of the national football team, but their strength has improved rapidly in recent years, so before the game, the domestic media felt that this game was actually not easy to play.

But in Lin Kedi's view, in the Asian arena, especially when facing such a team, it is time to show his personal ability.

Sometimes, playing teamwork is not as good as the straight-forward chug.

Just like Sun Xingmin is in the Korean team. When they play some Asian teams, they just want to play team football. At this time, Sun Xingmin's performance is not good, not as good as when he was in the club.

But when Sun Xingmin starts to use his personal ability to make a strong breakthrough, the battle is often opened directly, and the game is won.

However, the Korean team's use of Sun Xingmin has never made good use of his characteristics.

But the national football team is different. Lippi's use of Lin Kedi is, you can play whatever you want, as you like.

Therefore, when facing the Philippines, Lin Kedi was in a crushing posture from the first minute.

The opponent kicks off the ball first, Link goes up and grabs it, and it's easy to grab it, then Link doesn't talk about martial arts and starts dribbling with the ball in the middle, the opponent's speed can't keep up with Link, he wants to be malicious Unable to catch up with the foul, Lin Kedi broke into the penalty area and pushed the opposite corner.

Less than one minute into the game, Lin Kedi opened the scoring first.

Afterwards, Lin Kedi came again, but the opponent still couldn't keep up with the sudden outbreak of Lin Kedi.

Lin Kedi made a strong attack in the middle, and the Filipino players tried to reach out and grab Lin Kedi's jersey, but they couldn't pull it.

Lin Kedi scored another goal in the 3rd minute, 2-0.

In the next 10 minutes, under the high pressure of the Chinese team in the frontcourt, the Philippines made a pass error. After Lin Kedi stole the ball, he broke through the middle three times. He reached the top of the penalty area and shot directly.

3:0.

Three unreasonable strong attacks and three unreasonable goals made the Philippines helpless to fight back, directly breaking up the Philippines' pre-match rhetoric and lofty ambitions.

After Lin Kedi was replaced in the 60th minute of the second half, the players in the Philippines still hadn't recovered.

The final score of the game was fixed at 4-0.

In the 80th minute, Wu Lei and Zhang Yuning formed a cooperation in the frontcourt. Wu Lei rushed into the penalty area quickly and single-handedly scored a low shot.

Perfect ending. (end of this chapter)
