What is a destructive midfielder?

Wolfsburg restricted area, the wind is trembling.

Dante and Keesling pushed each other, fighting for placement.

The Brazilian central defender was once considered Lucio's successor.

During the season when he played for Bayern's "Triple Crown", he performed very well.

Unfortunately, he gradually lost his way and was the backdrop for the 7:1 tragedy in the 2014 World Cup, as well as Lewandowski’s five goals in nine minutes.

Who is Lucio?

2002 World Cup champion defender.

Leverkusen's "Sanya King" main defender.

The football spun violently and fell into the penalty area!

Dante overwhelmed Keesling, jumped up high, and flicked his explosive head to complete the rescue!

Boom!

"Wonderful rescue!"

"oops!"

Castles' pupils shrank as he looked at a black shadow, whizzing towards him and hitting the upper right corner of the goal!

The Wolfsburg goalkeeper had no time to make any saves!

I can't prevent my own people from stabbing me!

What was originally a mediocre pass turned into a blast after being hit by a teammate?

The roar of the Volkswagen Arena suddenly stopped when the net was raised again.

0:2! ! !

"Hey! It's an own goal!"

"Wolfsburg central defender Dante contributed another own goal. According to statistics, he has caused three own goals this season."

"Mistakes on the football field are inevitable. The spin applied by Li Kang's pass was too strong, which caused Dante to make a wrong judgment!"

"To add insult to injury! Wolfsburg needs to make changes quickly!"

"With the opponent's own goal, he scored! Leverkusen expanded its lead!"

-

[Dante, a defender with tragedy attributes! 】

-

[Wherever there is Dante, there is tragedy. 】

-

[Let me count: when he was playing for Borussia Mönchengladbach, he was beaten 7-0 by Stuttgart; he was beaten 7-1 by Germany in the World Cup; and this season, when Robert Lewandowski scored five goals in nine minutes, does Bayern's 4-0 defeat by Real Madrid count? Does a penalty kick count in the Champions League final? This guy is so unlucky! 】

-

【I feel pity for you, it is hard to guard against domestic thieves. 】

-

[Being abused by Wolfsburg at Bayern and massacred by Bayern at Wolfsburg. 】

-

[Dante’s classic quote: “Cristiano Ronaldo is easier to defend than my son”! 】

-

【Tragedy defender! 】

-

[Li Mingdeng’s passing was too terrifying and difficult for defenders to handle. 】

Courtside.

Dino looked confused: "Boss, I suddenly realized that all the preparations made by the coaching staff before the game were in vain!"

Old Man Top applauded and said with a smile: "Not every game is full of thorns."

The other side.

Heijin glanced at Van Dyke, then at Dante, and almost couldn't help but drag off his leather shoes.

In the summer window half a year ago, Wolfsburg and Leverkusen were fighting over Dante!

later.

Because Leverkusen could not afford Dante's high annual salary, they eventually withdrew from the competition.

Still too poor.

Let’s make an analogy: one Dante’s salary is equal to four Calhanoglus, six Son Heung-mins, twenty Brandts, and three hundred youth team Li Kangs.

The sky was full of boos.

Dante froze on the spot and rubbed his face.

Teammates on the defensive line rushed forward to comfort him.

Castles patted him on the shoulder and said seriously: "Cheer up! Leverkusen's offense is no threat! We can equalize the score! Just like the 5-4 last season!"

Very loud sound.

When the Wolfsburg players heard these words, they all trembled in unison!

far away.

Keesling gave Li Kang a thumbs up and ran back to the center circle together.

"If you hide the score, Wolfsburg looks more like the leading side."

The game continues.

The ball changes back and forth.

Wolfsburg's midfielder couldn't get the ball out at all.

There is simply no space for Arnold to launch a slow vertical pass attack.

The "iron triangle" strikers in the frontcourt could not touch the ball at all.

Li Kang hadn't played so easily for a long time, and the intensity of the confrontation felt like a youth team practice match.

I only need to be active in the middle, connecting the front and backcourts in series.

"Wolfsburg has no killing power in the middle! There is no way to complete intensive penetration and transition."

"Several long-pass attacks launched from the backcourt were finally resolved by Van Dijk."

"The director's camera showed the VIP box, and we saw several young descendants of the Porsche family and the Piech family, respectively."

"Last season, the Volkswagen Group successfully signed a Chinese Super League player in order to develop the Dragon Country market. I wonder if Bayer Leverkusen's young player Li Kang will become the favorite endorsement of European car brands."

"It should be difficult. Li Kang's car endorsement started with Koenigsegg's supercar."

"In recent years, FIFA has strengthened the protection of minor players, and the situation should be much better next, because Li Kang is already 18 years old."

The scene is too boring.

Duan Xuan and He Wei chatted off-site.

Not to mention advertising endorsements, even major sports media have no chance to go to Leverkusen to conduct exclusive interviews with Li Kang.

The game time passed by minute by minute.

Wolfsburg can't find any chance,

Leverkusen is waiting for work.

The home fans booed wildly.

The hundreds of away fans who accompanied the army waved their flags and cheered enthusiastically.

Old Man Top sat back on the coaching bench, crossed his hands on his chest, and couldn't help but yawned.

Dino and the coaching staff had a heated discussion about how to play Frankfurt in the next game.

Black Gold became more and more impatient, roaring at the field from time to time.

The Wolfsburg players cannot express their suffering.

If you walk on the ground, you can't pass the level composed of Li Kang, Kramer, and Bender in the middle.

In the air, Leverkusen had too many high points in the backcourt and couldn't get past them.

They are completely different teams from Leverkusen last season!

Black Gold can't hold it anymore! He raised his hands crazily, signaling for the players to press forward and attack!

Being two goals behind at half-time is not a desperate situation.

Desperately, there is no chance of equalizing the score!

The 43rd minute of the game.

Kramer successfully intercepted the rushing Gilavoji.

The nearby Wolfsburg players helplessly spread their hands.

The football rolled to Li Kang's feet.

In an instant.

Rui Costa's shadow suddenly appeared, and the No. 10 jersey was like a ball of red and black flames.

From God's perspective.

The depth gaps in Wolfsburg's formation are like the Mariana Trench.

Accompanied by a crisp sound.

The public arena was suddenly slashed by a sharp blade!

The football clung to the turf and flew away.

Wolfsburg's high defense was easily torn apart.

Old Man Top and Dino started celebrating!

Kurogane stood unsteadily and his eyes were dull.

‘This kid’s awareness, vision and passing are so similar to De Bruyne! ’

Son Heung-min threw away Trasch and drove forward at high speed!

There is no need to look back to observe the straight line!

I firmly believe in my heart: Li will definitely pass the ball to my feet, and it will be in the direction of his dominant foot!

"Li Kang's signature skill! Super long-distance through ball!"

"This long-passing ability has always been seen only in midfield superstars from top giants. It greatly reduces the speed of offensive and defensive transitions!"

"Perfect advance, Son Heung-min doesn't need to make any adjustments at all"

"Wolfsburg's backcourt, an open area!"

"Single sword? Dante!"

Dante was dragged at the back of Wolfsburg's formation.

In fact, he is not good at it. Although his level is far inferior to that of the "Triple Crown" period, his defensive awareness is still top-notch.

The moment Li Kang caught the ball.

He judged Leverkusen's attack direction!

then

Dante seemed to have transformed into a battle-hardened general. While retreating, he raised his hand to instruct goalkeeper Castells not to attack and blocked the player's near corner!

'I'm not fast enough! You must retreat directly to the front of the penalty area! ’

‘As long as I block the angle of Son Heung-min’s shot into the far corner, I can resolve the opponent’s single shot! ’

‘This is what the core of defense should do! ’

Wolfsburg fans are nervous!

Leverkusen fans are excited!

As far as the eye can see!

Son Heung-min dribbled the ball into the Wolfsburg penalty area!

Dante, who was fully prepared, quickly pushed forward from the side!

force! Just push!

No tendency to steal!

His strong body is like trying to squeeze Son Heung-min out of the penalty area!

Old Man Top frowned slightly.

Dino looked stunned.

Kurogane's eyes showed appreciation.

The coaching staff of both sides were full of praise for Dante's performance this time!

“Dante has a lot of experience!”

"Son Heung-min has no chance."

"pretty!"

Contrary to everyone's expectations.

After Son Heung-min slowed down slightly, he picked up the speed again, easily shook off the pressure from Wolfsburg's central defender, and tried to hit the ball towards the far post!

Goalkeeper Castells looked calm and took small steps, preparing to make a save!

There was no sharp shot as expected.

Because Dante knocked Son Heung-min down.

Beep!

The referee blows the whistle! Raise your hand and point to the twelve-yard position!

On the way, he also took out a yellow card from his trouser pocket!

The whole place was in an uproar!

"Penalty kick!"

"Judging from the slow-motion replay, there is no problem or controversy with the penalty kick!"

"Dante has a strong sense of defense, but now his body can't keep up with his brain. He can only choose this method to neutralize his opponent's attack!"

"If Leverkusen scored this penalty, it would have almost killed the game."

"Li Kang has a strong sense of presence. Three long passes posed a threat to Wolfsburg's goal!"

"Let's see who will be punished."

Courtside.

Dino said excitedly: "Boss, the referee should give Dante a red card!"

Old Man Top whispered: "Don't worry, it's a good thing that Dante stays on the court. If Black Gold replaces Naldo, the game will become a bit tricky!"

As he spoke, the Leverkusen coach lowered his head and his fists trembled. It had nothing to do with the victory or defeat in front of him. He was most afraid of seeing his players take penalty kicks. This shadow has been with him for many years in his coaching career.

Dino scratched his head, completely confused about his coach's brain.

The other side.

Kurogane slumped on the coaching bench.

Mixed emotions.

What Dante did was fine, but why was this guy so unlucky?

Wolfsburg players swarmed around the referee and kept arguing.

Son Heung-min got up.

Keesling picked up the ball and threw it to Li Kang.

"Lee, don't be stunned, you are the number one penalty kicker!"

Li Kang patted the ball and walked to the twelve-yard position.

Penalty kick?

The system prompt sounds quietly,

[Life is like a penalty kick. 】

A lonely and melancholy shadow suddenly appeared.

No. 10 in blue.

Baggio.

Li Kang subconsciously waved his hand, trying to disperse the phantom.

There was no effect.

He stood in front of the penalty spot.

"Li Kang will take this penalty!"

"He is very similar to Balotelli in that he has a big heart!"

"Penalties are a psychological game!"

Many economists and psychologists have also been involved in the study of penalties, and various mathematical models and game theories have been derived.

The most famous one is: mixed strategy Nash equilibrium.

Of course.

No research theory is useful for Balotelli.

His penalty hit rate is terrifying.

The referee used a yellow card to suppress Kruse, who drooled the most.

The Wolfsburg players gave up their excuses and stood obediently outside the penalty area.

The fans of both sides couldn't help but get nervous.

Penalties are the most heartbreaking rule.

Castells took a deep breath and made a weird jumping and arm-raising movement, trying to influence the mentality of the penalty taker.

Dante hesitated for a moment, then quietly extended his finger to give a hint to his goalkeeper!

He has a high level of education, having obtained a bachelor's degree in psychology in his early years.

'The boy's dominant foot is his left foot, judging from the starting point of the run-up'

Beep!

Accompanied by the referee's whistle.

Li Kang began to run-up!

One step, two steps, three steps.

During the process, there was no change in rhythm!

Bang!

The moment the inner instep of the right foot touched the football.

Castells kicked the grass with both feet, jumped up, and pounced on the upper left corner!

But the football flew lightly to the center of the goal!

0:3! ! !

"Beautiful!"

"This ball went in!"

"Li Kang killed the game!"

"He has a big heart!"

"Looking at the five major leagues, mentality is the winner of penalty kicks!"

"Leverkusen scored three goals in the first half! Unless a miracle happens, it will be difficult for Wolfsburg to equalize the score!"

Live broadcast room.

Barrages flew.

-

[I thought Balotelli was very good at free throws, but I didn't expect Li Mingdeng to be no worse than him! ]

-

[Big-hearted players are usually very good at set pieces! ]

-

[Penalty game theory is a study of normal people. You call these two guys big-hearted? One has a brain problem, and the other has a psychological problem. ]

-

[Leverkusen can let Li Mingdeng clock out and go to the locker room to do homework! ]

-

[It's hard to say. Have you forgotten the game against Hertha Berlin? We were leading by three goals at halftime and were almost tied! ]

On the side of the court.

Old man Top dared to raise his head only after hearing the cheers.

Dino applauded and exclaimed: "Boss, you are so wise! Li is indeed the most suitable first-round penalty shooter!"

Heijin's face was gray.

He angrily picked up a box of mineral water next to his seat and smashed it heavily on the grass.

Baggio's shadow turned into golden powder and drifted away with the wind. The negative emotions that surged in Li Kang's heart disappeared instantly.

His teammates gathered around him and rubbed his hair excitedly.

At the goal.

Castells spread his hands towards Dante, regretting in his heart: I shouldn't have listened to the unlucky guy's tips!

Dante's expression was bitter. He knew that any explanation at this moment would be pale and powerless.

Draxler put his hands on his hips and sighed helplessly.

Springboard?

Is Wolfsburg's springboard still elastic?

It's good to be able to stay in the league this season!

The game was restarted in the middle circle.

The referee raised his hand to look at his watch and blew the whistle to end the first half.

Old man Top and Hei Jin walked towards the player tunnel together.

The feelings of this former master and apprentice will never be shaken by the team's position.

The fifteen minutes of halftime break ended quickly.

When the second half of the game started.

Li Kang was still doing homework in the locker room.

Calhanoglu took to the field.

There was no suspense in the game.

Leverkusen chose the most pragmatic way of playing: intensive defense.

Van Dijk calmly directed his teammates to resist Wolfsburg's wave after wave of attacks.

72nd minute of the game.

Leverkusen took the initiative and rushed forward in the midfield, catching the opponent off guard.

Brandt finally saved enough money to buy a house!

He received Kiessling's header on the right side of the penalty area, shook off Dante, and pushed the ball into the goal!

0:4! ! !

90th minute of the game.

Draxler made a long shot. The football whistled into the stands!

The Bundesliga referee was too lazy to add extra time and left work on time.

Blow the final whistle directly!

Leverkusen players were very relaxed about their first game after the holiday.

Soon, they will challenge more powerful Champions League giants!

At the same time.

UEFA is also busy preparing for the draw ceremony for the Champions League quarter-finals.

I'm on leave tomorrow, and I'll update more.
