What is a destructive midfielder?

Cobham training ground.

Abramovich is giving Hiddink "face-to-face instructions":

"You need to give more opportunities to substitute players. The characteristics of Diego Costa and Willian have long been studied thoroughly by other European clubs!"

"I see that Remy's recent training status is very good, and many clubs are eyeing him."

"And Pato, who is on loan, is an old golden boy after all. Why not send him on?"

"You are right to listen to me, otherwise why would you not be able to win against Leverkusen? How much difference is their value to Chelsea?"

"What the hell are you defensive about? Even if they fight against each other, you can easily defeat them!"

"Yes, yes! Li is a super genius, but his teammates are not!"

Hiddink nodded in agreement.

Did he lose face?

Just because there were only two of them in the huge office.

The soundproofing effect of the Cobham base is very good.

In front of the outside media, Abramovich regarded the Dutch coach as a famous teacher and close friend.

In private, whenever the two of them talk about the game, they return to the most essential employment relationship.

Obviously.

Abramovich was very dissatisfied with the result of the first round.

For example: It's like spending money to buy a super sports car, and the result is that it is on par with Wuling Hongguang.

What's Chelsea's lineup?

What lineup does Leverkusen have?

Can it be compared?

No matter how round the football is, our Iron-Blooded Blues will not be round until the end and be beaten, right?

Hiddink blushed and said firmly: "Roman, the coaching staff was too cautious before! In fact, I think the same as you. Remy and Pato integrated into the first team training a few days ago!"

He is not bowing to Abu, he is bowing to money.

There is no other way. Although the Dutch coach became famous early, he still has to support his wife, son, grandson, and several lovers.

Abramovich nodded with satisfaction and patted Hiddink hard on the shoulder:

"Play a sensational game and let our young talent fall in love with Stamford Bridge!"

Bayer Leverkusen.

Tactical meeting room.

The large LED screen is showing the suggestions and reports given by the Spanish national team coaching staff.

Dino was amazed again and again.

"Boss, Mr. Bosque really has a skill!"

"The coaching staff does not need to deliberately regard Li as the core of the team. He will naturally fit into the team system, become the midfield commander, and lead his teammates to disintegrate the opponent's system!"

"On the offensive end, he can increase the team's upper limit; on the defensive end, he can protect the team's lower limit!"

"But whether it's the offensive or defensive end, we can't waste Li on the timeline of filling in and interspersing. His teammates should."

The staff suddenly realized:

In sports defense in previous games, Li Kang always had to expend a lot of extra energy and running to complete the final assist defense.

Including the offensive end: Looking at the past two decades in the five major leagues, apart from Simeone as a player, which midfielder is so tired?

Old Man Top sighed deeply: "Leverkusen does not have the personnel of the Spanish national team and does not have the conditions."

"What kind of midfielder does Del Bosque lead?"

"What midfielder am I bringing?"

"Is Calhano Rubi as good as Cazorla? Or as good as David Silva? Not even as good as Iniesta, who is suffering from injuries!"

"The Spanish approach won't work in Leverkusen."

Hear these words.

Everyone's first reaction was: You, Top, can't compare to Bosque.

The atmosphere solidified.

The tactical conference room fell into silence for a while, with only the sound of pages being turned.

After a while.

Dino asked quietly: "Boss, how will we fight in the next round?"

Old Man Top crossed his hands on his chest and said decisively:

"Attack! Our only way to survive is to attack."

"Release Lee! Don't let him waste his precious energy and time on the defensive end!"

Two days later.

The second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals is coming!

Li Kang and his Leverkusen teammates boarded a plane and headed to London.

Except for him, all the teammates were a little nervous.

The gap between the two sides in the first round was too big. At this time, Stamford Bridge was like an insurmountable peak.

But as long as they cross over and successfully break into the Champions League semi-finals, this achievement is a glorious moment worth remembering in their careers for most Leverkusen players.

Calhanoglu said: "Lee, don't be nervous, I will pass the ball to your feet, and we will get a start!"

In the face of a tough battle, there is no need to be selfish.

Dino turned his head and said: "Hakan, didn't you see the roster? You are not the starting player."

Calhanoglu was startled.

Everyone laughed.

The tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.

Van Dijk is still "meeting" with his teammates on the defensive line.

He has been talking about the characteristics of Chelsea players every day during this period.

Jonathan Towers is miserable.

He is facing Hazard.

The weather in London, just like a cunning girl, always brings a burst of rain when you are unprepared.

The perimeter of Stanford Stadium.

A blue ocean.

Chelsea game tickets during this period were in short supply and expensive.

But this has not affected the enthusiasm of loyal local fans at all. Even if they cannot buy tickets, they will watch the game in nearby bars.

Media reporters from 26 countries and regions around the world shuttled through the streets.

"Li Kang is very good. The deepest impression he left on me was when we eliminated Manchester United in the Champions League qualifying round at the beginning of the season."

"He is welcome to Stamford Bridge."

"The semi-finals of the Champions League should be treated with a normal attitude."

The camera showed a group of elderly Blues fans.

They are about 60-70 years old and have witnessed the ups and downs of Chelsea before capital injection.

at the same time.

CTV5 is also broadcasting outdoor scenes.

Many fans gathered in the live broadcast room.

-

[These old men and women are really Buddhists. Is Chelsea’s club history very ordinary? 】

-

[I feel that West Ham fans are the most Buddhist. 】

-

[Older fans cannot represent the mainstream attitude. Who doesn’t want their home team to advance to the Champions League? 】

-

[As soon as Li Mingdeng returned to the club, he fell directly from T0 to T1. How to fight a group of T0.5, it felt like reading a novel about a sadistic master. 】

-

[According to you, wouldn’t it be more cruel to lead the national team with Messi and Ronaldo? 】

-

[Didn’t you watch the first round? At the last moment, Li Mingdeng almost overwhelmed the Chelsea bus and couldn't score! We still have to see how Hiddink arranges his troops tonight. 】

The plane passed through thick clouds.

Landing slowly at Heathrow Airport.

Li Kang and his teammates walked out of the airport pick-up port.

The security personnel felt like they were facing an enemy.

A large group of young fans swarmed in, eyes wild, shouting his name excitedly.

"Lee!!!"

Son Heung-min couldn't help but exclaimed: "Assi, there are so many Asian fans! I can tell by looking at their faces that there are Japanese, Koreans and Filipinos among them!"

Cramer shook his head and said in denial: "Both posters and banners are not prepared. They are definitely not fans, but tourists!"

"They're still wearing Chelsea shirts!"

Old Man Top and Dino quickly protected the North Rhine idol and quickly got into the bus.

Li Kang felt strange:

When did I have so many fake fans?
