What is a destructive midfielder?

Chapter 41: One Sword to the Throat (Two in One)

Breitenreiter tried to calm himself down.

Players can panic.

Assistant coaches can panic.

Club coaches cannot affect morale.

He quickly waved his hand to call Goretzka, Maier and Sane.

"Leverkusen's No. 10 is not strong in ball control and ball advancement! Keep hitting their wings!"

"The three opposing midfielders will definitely open up the width in defense, and then we will catch their ribs"

"Leverkusen can't withstand our impact, forget the score first! Kids!"

Breitenreiter patted the players' heads.

Schalke 04 has never lacked talented young players.

Goretzka is 20 years old.

Maier just celebrated his 20th birthday.

Sane is only 19 years old.

Of course.

The most outstanding youth training product of the Blue and White Army is still the top goalkeeper in today's football: Neuer.

Old man Top made three gestures to the field.

Kramer understood.

Immediately passed the signal to his teammates.

Dino asked in confusion:

"Boss, we are already two goals ahead, and there is still a lot of time in the game. Why do we have to tighten the defense? Schalke 04's defense is not very good."

"If we give up the ball, Schalke 04 is best at using the width of the wing on both sides. Their long pass transfer success rate is very high!"

Top shook his head and smiled: "Yes, it's because we are two goals ahead."

The middle circle of the game was reopened.

Huntelaar knocked Sane horizontally.

Schalke 04 reorganized a fierce attack.

The four stands of the Veltins Arena also burst into cheers.

"We see that both coaches have made tactical adjustments to their players."

"The positions of Hojbjerg, Ritter, and Ogo have also been raised!"

"Still play on the wing!"

"Let's see what's happening on Leverkusen's side?"

In the camera.

Leverkusen's formation retreated steadily.

The players in the midfield did not intercept.

Bender retreated to the central defender position.

Li Kang and Kramer kept standing in parallel.

They quickly retreated to the 30-meter area of their own half.

Sane pushed forward with the ball without any obstruction!

He looked up and observed Leverkusen's defense, a little confused.

Six defenders?

Three defensive midfielders?

The big guy Kiessling also retreated to the front of the penalty area!

What the hell?

"We saw that Leverkusen's backcourt had 9 players piled up!"

"Only Son Heung-min was left in the frontcourt, roaming in Schalke 04's high back line"

"This is very rare in their previous Bundesliga games."

"Sure enough, changing the coach is like changing the knife. Coach Top has injected something different into this club that advocates offensive football!"

Longguo Live Room.

The fans also didn't understand.

[Is Leverkusen's new coach too cowardly? 】

[Correction, it's not the new coach. When Top coached Leverkusen in 2002, he played in this way after taking the lead. This is how the "Three Ya King" was born! 】

[Parking the bus? The game is still so long. Can you defend it? 】

Schalke 04's overall formation almost overwhelmed the half court.

Sane couldn't find a chance to break through and kick on the right side. Only Messi and Ronaldo could break through in this dense defense!

He decisively passed the ball to Goretzka.

The ball was very fast.

Goretzka touched the ball.

Passed it diagonally to Meyer who was advancing!

Meyer just stopped the ball and was about to pass it to Choupo-Moting on the left.

He was not slow.

Pushed with the arch of his foot.

But one foot blocked the ball in advance.

Bang!

The football bounced back to the rib area.

Goretzka had to start organizing the attack again.

"It's Li Kang again."

"This guy is very aggressive in stealing the ball!"

"His vision, awareness, and ability to read the game are not only reflected in the offensive end."

The game time passed by minute by minute.

Schalke 04 had no chance to penetrate the ball into Leverkusen's penalty area.

The fans also seemed a little anxious.

The scene seemed to be pressing Leverkusen to play, but there were not many opportunities to kick the ball!

Breitenreiter couldn't help himself and paced back and forth in the command area.

In his eyes.

Kramer's interception and interception are very strong.

Although Li Kang's frontal defense and single defense interception are very poor, his positional sense and ability to predict the ball path are abnormal, just like a human shield!

The midfield barrier formed by these two guys, although not always able to block Schalke 04's passing connection, but to a certain extent curbed Schalke 04's offensive rhythm.

Not to mention Leverkusen's temporary change of "six defenders"!

Especially that header monster-Kiesling.

The ability to resolve high balls on the defensive end is also unique!

So disgusting.

So vulgar!

It's simply an insult to offensive football!

The Schalke 04 coach has already cursed old man Top ten thousand times in his heart.

On the other side.

Dino murmured: "Boss! I have never seen you so pragmatic in the youth team league!"

Old man Top frowned: "Are you fucking praising me?"

Beep! Beep~

The referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

The Schalke 04 players walked off the field dejectedly.

Although the Leverkusen players consumed more energy in defense, their faces were full of confidence.

Bellarabi came out from the bench, holding a dry towel and mineral water in his hands, and ran towards Li Kang.

He said attentively: "Li, drink water! Wipe your sweat! Your two assists are so wonderful that I can only see them in cartoons."

Li Kang nodded.

The change in attitude of this black teammate was a bit surprising.

Brandt poked Li Kang's chest with his arm and said with a smile: "Sun and I have agreed that our goal bonus will buy you a car! Don't refuse, my grandmother can kick the ball into the goal with your assists."

Son Heung-min nodded and said seriously: "Score another one in the second half, and I will buy you a better one."

Goalkeeper Leno came forward: "You kid resolved several attacks from the opponent, and I will also contribute to the car purchase!"

Everyone laughed.

Li Kang smiled and shook his head. He hasn't really won the game yet. This kind of celebration mentality at halftime is easy to be overturned by the opponent.

Distance.

In the corner of the bench.

Çalhanoğlu had a complicated expression: the young player he looked down upon had integrated into the team.

A moment later.

Leverkusen's locker room.

Dino reviewed the tactical details of the first half for everyone.

Old man Top pulled Li Kang aside and said seriously: "Li, in positional defense, you don't need to be too far back, and you don't need to deliberately assist your teammates! I won't assign you a special defense task!"

Li Kang thought for a moment and nodded.

On the other side.

Schalke 04's locker room.

A burst of roars broke out in unison.

It scared the cleaning lady outside the door.

"Welcome back, viewers. Now we are broadcasting the second half of the fourth round of the 2015/16 Bundesliga."

"We saw that both coaches made personnel adjustments during the halftime break."

"Schalke 04, Geis replaced Hojbjerg."

"Leverkusen, Bellarabi replaced Son Heung-min."

"Two substitutions!"

Let's look forward to the next game!

With the referee's whistle.

The second half of the game officially began.

The Veltins Arena was shouting slogans.

The Schalke 04 players rekindled their fighting spirit.

They continued to maintain a crazy forward pressure.

More and more offensive players were involved.

Trying to completely break down Leverkusen's accumulated defense.

The 52nd minute of the game.

Sane kicked a cross near the baseline.

The ball fell into the penalty area!

Kiesling overpowered Huntelaar and headed the ball out!

Goretzka wanted to compete for the second point and continued to organize the attack.

Li Kang's judgment of the landing of the football was more accurate. He pushed the opponent away and destroyed the ball out of bounds in advance.

"This clearance is crucial."

"Li Kang's position seems to have changed."

In the 58th minute of the game.

Geis made a mistake.

He wanted to pass the ball to Choupo-Moting on the left.

The force of the pass was too weak.

So the speed of the ball was too slow.

Li Kang suddenly rushed out and intercepted the ball!

Then he raised his left foot and sent a long pass!

Bellarabi, who was talking trash to the Schalke 04 defender, started immediately!

"Beautiful!"

"No offside!"

"Oh! What a pity!"

Bellarabi stopped the ball and made a burst!

He was blocked by Matip.

The opportunity of a single knife was destroyed.

Bellarabi gave Li Kang a thumbs up helplessly.

The game time passed by minute by minute.

The audience suddenly found that:

Leverkusen's No. 10 is not a traditional midfielder in the true sense.

In the positional battle, he did not retreat to the defense line.

Instead, he kept running back and forth, blocking Schalke 04's offensive rhythm.

Although his single defense ability was very weak.

But the aggressiveness he showed was too strong.

Especially the thin Schalke 04 players were completely crushed by him.

What kind of midfield is this?

Finally.

The referee blew the whistle to end the game.

The score was not changed.

Schalke 04 did not have many opportunities to shoot.

Leverkusen maintained the two-goal lead until the end of the game.

"Congratulations to Leverkusen and coach Top, they won this game!"

"Dragon young player Li Kang assisted and scored twice in this game! We look forward to his growth!"

[Schalke 04 fans are of high quality! They don't scold the players or the coach, and they leave the field so quickly! ]

[What do you think they are going to do? Schalke 04's match day loss event! They will gather at various transportation hubs in the Ruhr area and fight with Dortmund fans! ]

[Aren’t Dortmund fans very passionate and good at fighting? ]

[Different fighting styles, Schalke 04 fans like frontal close combat, while Dortmund fans like to use long-range throwing attacks. ]

[The strongest fighting power in Germany is still Stuttgart fans. ]

Security personnel escorted Leverkusen fans off the field.

Dino also hurriedly called on the players to enter the tunnel quickly.

If you win at the Veltins Arena, don’t think about lining up to thank the fans.

Even the referee team didn’t care about the post-match handshake etiquette and rushed back to the tunnel.

Post-match press conference.

The media reporters all threw questions to the Leverkusen coach.

Every sentence was about Li Kang.

Top's expression was complicated, and he said slowly: "The highest score? Li is a talented midfielder with great potential. In positional defense, he can use his aggressiveness to win opportunities for the back line to adjust its defensive position. He still needs time to grow, and Leverkusen will provide the best soil."

The implication is obvious.

This kind of talent is not a must for your giants!

Can you let Li stay in Leverkusen for the winter break!

Breitenreiter added a knife in time: "The talent he showed on the offensive end can definitely gain a foothold in the giants!"

The reporters nodded in agreement!

Top's face became even uglier.

The whole team returned to Leverkusen.

Bender and Kramer smiled mysteriously at Son Heung-min.

Son Heung-min tried to control his expression and picked up his phone: "Dad, I'm still training at the club tonight and will be back later!"

The three of them left the training base arm in arm.

Brandt handed over the phone, swiped the screen, and asked expectantly: "Li, which one do you like? Let's go buy it tomorrow!"

Li Kang smiled and shook his head.

He knew that Brandt's wish was to save money to buy a big house for his family.

Back to the first-team dormitory.

The system prompt sounded.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning the Bundesliga! ]

[Personal performance evaluation: SSS]

[Task reward upgrade: Gold treasure chest → Schalke Legend Gold treasure chest! ]

Schalke Legend Gold treasure chest?

Li Kang hurriedly glanced at the prize pool.

[Neuer "Goal Forward" module (incomplete).]

[Lehmann "Penalty Saving Maniac" module (incomplete).]

[Dog "False Running" module (incomplete).]

[Rakitic "All-round Engineer" module (incomplete).]

[.]

The remaining few rows of rewards are a series of question marks.

Schalke 04 legend, why are there so many goalkeepers?

The module should be limited by the gold treasure chest, and there is only an incomplete version.

[The treasure chest is opening]

[Congratulations to the host for triggering the hidden reward! Obtained: Raul's "One Sword to the Throat" module (incomplete)! ]

[Additional attribute: Shooting increased by 2%! ]

No time to be happy.

Li Kang felt a sharp pain in the back of his head.

He never thought that Raul would also be included in the Schalke 04 legend.

The gold treasure chest began to turn into golden powder.

Floating in the air, blending into his feet.

The most basic action kept replaying in his mind.

Receiving the ball and shooting.

No.

It is the connection between receiving the ball and shooting.

The next morning.

Leverkusen Club.

Völler was sitting in the office, just lighting a cigar.

The assistant came in excitedly with a fax: "Director! Veltins Group gave us... No! It gave Li Kang a sky-high endorsement!"

Voller thought for a moment and refused: "Veltins Group? No, Bayer Group has already negotiated with me. If Li can perform well in the Champions League, he will get a sky-high endorsement! He can't endorse a bottle of wine and then endorse a bottle of hangover medicine!"

How awesome is Bayer? The century's medicine aspirin and the devil incarnate *** were both invented by them.

The assistant hesitated for a moment and said: "Veltins Group. Please take a look at the other party's offer first."

Voller took the fax and his face changed: "Oh my God, they gave too much!"
