Lord of Greenery

Chapter 89 Dilemma
Looking at the lost Lance players in front of him, Li Ze sighed in his heart——

Many teams are like this, many years ago had very brilliant achievements.

But unfortunately, as the years passed, they slowly lost their heritage as a wealthy family.

Not to mention the two-time Champions League runner-up Lance, even Nottingham Forest, who has won the Champions League twice, is not staying in the lower leagues now?
In this game, Li Ze made one pass and one shot, and the Lance players had nothing to do with him.

If it was Lance where Terrible and Fontaine were still there, they would definitely not allow the team to degenerate like this.

It can only be said that time can really take away a lot of things, whether it is for people or for clubs.

Although Li Ze was very emotional, in the eyes of others, this match was not very eye-catching.

Yes, Reims used to be a giant in Ligue [-] with a rich history, but that is history after all.

The current Reims, even in Ligue 2, is not considered a strong team. It is really normal to lose to Cannes 0:[-] in the away game.

Involuntarily, Li Ze thought of Cannes.

Even a team with a deep heritage like Lance will inevitably decline, so what about Cannes?

But no matter how worried he was, there was nothing Li Ze could do.

Even if Cannes really restarts the youth academy and the boss manages it wholeheartedly, it is hard to say whether Cannes will be relegated again.

These are not things that Li Ze can change.

Compared to Lance's defeat, everyone paid more attention to Li Ze's performance.

Now, after 5 rounds of the league, Li Ze scored 7 goals and 4 assists, averaging more than 2 goals per game!
"A player like this shouldn't be in Ligue [-]!" Reims head coach Frogge seemed to be admiring and complaining.

It is worth mentioning that after winning this game, Cannes has achieved three consecutive victories!

Now that 5 rounds have passed, Cannes has accumulated 10 points, with an average of 2 points per round. The performance can be said to be quite good.

More importantly, now that 5 rounds have passed, 4 teams including Cannes have accumulated 10 points together!
Among them, the relegated team Nantes ranked first with the advantage of goal difference, while Cannes ranked third!

If this scoring efficiency can continue, there is no doubt about Cannes' relegation.

You can even compete for an upgrade spot!

Being able to achieve such a result is enough for Cannes fans to pay homage to the players!
Especially Li Ze, has become the idol of all Cannes fans!

However, before they were happy, Cannes ran into trouble.

Especially their idol Li Ze encountered a great challenge.

In the 6th round of Ligue 4, Cannes played away against Le Havre Football Club. The audience was overwhelmed and lost 1:[-]!

4 balls!
This is enough to prove that Cannes' defense was completely defeated by the opponent!

Not only defense, but even offense has a big problem.

Even Traore, who scored the only goal in Cannes, performed quite poorly.

It can be said that if he hadn't scored that goal, he would have been invisible.

The only one who performed well in Cannes was Li Ze, although the Cannes goals were neither scored nor assisted by him.

But after watching the whole game, I knew that Li Ze was the only Cannes player who threatened Le Havre's defense.

If it weren't for him, Traore would never have had the chance to score this goal.

Last season, Le Havre ranked 6th in the league and was a strong team in Ligue [-].

And this season's Le Havre, also ranked in the top 4, is one of the three clubs that scored the same 10 points as Cannes before.

After defeating Cannes by a big score, they scored 13 points and officially stood at the top of the league table!
Compared with them, Cannes seems to have revealed its true colors, exposing many problems.

Among them, the problems exposed by Li Ze are the most serious!
In fact, to say that it is serious is only Li Ze's own feeling. He doesn't know if his opponents have discovered his weakness——

As the core of Cannes, Li Ze has too many responsibilities.

As a midfielder, he is responsible for the organization of the ball, and he is also responsible for dribbling breakthroughs. This is already two jobs for one person!

This is not over yet, considering that he scored so many goals last season, he also took over most of the scoring tasks after the breakthrough.

Such a variety of tasks is definitely not something that a single player should undertake, even if it is divided into 3 or even 4, it is not an exaggeration!
This is also what Du Suye gave Li Ze the greatest freedom, because Li Ze can always accomplish this exaggerated amount of tasks excellently with his excellent vision and hard-working running.

Originally, Cannes players were already familiar with this style of play.

However, when the team came to Ligue [-], everything was different.

There are Traore in the shooting job, and Michael and Angulo in the breakthrough. The problem is not serious, but the organization and distribution of the midfield are quite serious.

In terms of midfield organization, Li Ze's ability is "imitating" Busquets.

As the midfielder of the peak Barcelona and the peak Spain, although Busquets is inconspicuous in the midfield, his role is indispensable.

The problem is, such Busquets is not without weaknesses.

If the rhythm of the whole team has been under the control of Barcelona, ​​then Busquets is a well-deserved master of deception and an irreplaceable core of the Barcelona midfielder.

However, once the rhythm of the game falls into the hands of the opponent, Busquets' weakness will be exposed--

He's not good at fastball, he's not good at handling the ball in quick motion.

As soon as he has to run, has to play the ball fast, he drops a notch.

And if the opponent fights against him physically, his level will drop by half a notch!
In that kind of top game, the consequences of dropping one level are consequences that he and even the entire team cannot bear!

In later generations, Barcelona was eliminated one after another in the Champions League. Many people said that Messi could not stand up in adversity.

This is not wrong, but Busquets' downturn in the face of adversity must be one of the main reasons!

The task of delivering the ball from the midfielder may seem inconspicuous, but it plays a vital role in the team's offense and defense.

Against Le Havre today, under the constant impact of the opponent's fast pace, Li Ze felt powerless.

He tried hard to slow down the pace, but he couldn't do it.

Apart from him, the only midfielder Anthony in Cannes who can take on the task of playing the ball, and Anthony's level of playing the ball is placed in Ligue [-]. He is the weakest of the starters, and he is not even worthy of being a starter.

When there was a problem with the team's ball delivery, the entire midfield of Cannes could not function normally, and even the team's offense and defense had huge flaws!

If this flaw is caught by the opponent, the consequences will be disastrous!
But Li Ze had no choice.

His main role in the team is not to organize the ball. If it weren't for the first ability to "imitate" Busquets, he would not be assigned to undertake this task.

Now he has made a mistake, but no one in Cannes can make up for it. The problem can be said to be quite big.

After thinking about it for a few days, Li Ze barely thought of a solution.

It's just that the solution that Li Ze thought of, even he himself felt unreliable...
