What is a destructive midfielder?

"CTV5! CTV5! Good evening, viewers."

"Now we are broadcasting the 2016-17 Premier League, Arsenal vs. Southampton at home."

"Can the Saints break the away game curse and replicate the massacre at St. Mary's Stadium?"

"Last season, Southampton 4-0 bloodbathed Arsenal, can Wenger avenge the previous shame tonight?"

"Let's wait and see."

Southampton has never beaten Arsenal away from home.

But they have never lost to Arsenal at home, and the scores of the last two encounters are: 2-0 and 4-0.

The head coach at that time was the current Everton coach-Coman.

Player tunnel.

Welbeck looked a little depressed and ignored his teammates' greetings.

Gibbs hit his chest: "Stupid, you finally got a chance to start, shouldn't you be happy?"

Little Black Egg shook his head and whispered: "Lee is sitting on the bench."

Gibbs couldn't refute for a while, and said weakly: "And me, I will pass the ball to you."

In order to avoid Chamberlain taking the blame again, Gibbs grew his hair long.

Welbeck pouted: "Forget it, your current cross level is not as good as when you were in the echelon."

Many years ago in the Youth FA Cup, the two played against each other on behalf of Manchester United U18 and Arsenal U18, leaving a deep impression on each other.

Not far away.

Van Dijk was also whispering to his teammates: "Do as the boss said, attack boldly, we have to grab a start while Lee is not on the court."

After returning to Southampton with the halo of the Champions League semi-finals, the Dutch central defender's combat effectiveness this season has skyrocketed wildly, and he has performed many wonderful defensive art.

'One person is a line of defense. '

The value has also risen.

Liverpool initially offered £30 million, Arsenal followed with a £50 million offer, and Manchester United intervened with a £60 million offer.

External media have predicted that this summer window in Europe will see the highest transfer record for defenders in history.

Van Dijk took a deep breath and clenched his fists.

Today, he is no longer the "rookie" accused by Saints fans last season.

Complete form.

The strongest defensive form.

With a resolute look, he looked at the bright spotlights outside the tunnel.

Tonight.

It's my stage.

Emirates Stadium.

Li Kang sat on the bench. It has been a long time since he has enjoyed the night view of North London as leisurely as tonight.

Bright fireworks.

Red and white crowds.

Hazy moon.

Morata crossed his hands on his chest and said, "If I don't play tonight, my assist efficiency will surpass Kroos and Sigurdsson!"

Bould paced back and forth.

Wenger stood in the command area and looked at his watch.

A moment later.

The players of both sides took their positions on the field.

Accompanied by the referee's whistle.

The game officially began.

"The following is an introduction to the starting lineups of both sides."

"The players wearing black jerseys attacking from left to right are Southampton!"

"The formation is 4-3-3!"

"Goalkeeper: Foster."

"Defenders: Bertrand, Van Dijk, Fonte, Cedric."

"Midfielders: Davis, Romeu, Crasi."

"Forwards: Raymond, Rodriguez, Tadic."

"Arsenal also arranged a 4-3-3 formation."

"Goalkeeper:"

"Perhaps to prepare for the Champions League knockouts in a few days, Wenger made a large-scale rotation!"

Live broadcast room.

-

[Li Mingdeng did not play, Arsenal is going to be upset, it's okay, Chelsea also lost, this game can let the main players rotate to prepare for the Champions League knockouts! ]

-

[Thinking too much, what if Wenger makes a substitution in the 45th minute? 】

-

[Don't say that the whole of Europe has studied Wenger's habits thoroughly. Even I know that he will only make substitutions after 70 minutes. 】

-

[The combination of Van Dijk and Fonte is very strong, in the top few of the Premier League! Southampton is sure to win! 】

-

[Wenger underestimated Southampton, they are very strong. 】

-

[Wow, Arsenal scored! 】

The fans haven't reacted yet.

Welbeck has already rushed to the corner flag area to celebrate wildly.

After two seconds of silence at the Emirates Stadium, cheers like a landslide and tsunami broke out!

"Lightning strike!"

"It's only been less than two minutes since the start!"

"Gibbs was unstoppable on the left and sent a fatal cross after reaching the end line!"

"Welbeck's header. Ah! From the replay, it was an own goal. Van Dijk's head hit the ball first, and it hit his own goal!"

"It shouldn't be!"

"The best central defender in the Premier League this season actually made a low-level mistake!"

"Well, this goal is half the credit to Welbeck. He blocked Van Dijk's angle of clearance."

"Angle of clearance"

Duan Xuan repeated weakly, feeling embarrassed by his newly invented vocabulary.

Happiness suddenly knocked on the door.

Van Dijk rubbed his hair in frustration, and then apologized to goalkeeper Foster.

The two have been good defensive partners since the Celtics period. Southampton, with its unique vision, packed them up and brought them to the Premier League overnight.

Head coach Pierre was very calm, pressing down the air with both hands, signaling the players not to panic.

"Forget about this goal."

"Play as planned before the game."

The game was restarted.

Southampton, regrouping, launched a fierce offensive.

"Pierre's team usually gives people the impression of being slow and methodical."

"But it's different tonight."

"Southampton pressed deep!"

"Even Fonte participated in the attack."

"There is only one Van Dijk left in the back line!"

"Arsenal can't indulge in the joy of leading yet"

Southampton has no shortage of good players in advancing.

Crassie is one of them.

A demon star produced by Feyenoord's youth training camp in the Dutch League.

There is an interesting thing: Leicester City first took a fancy to Crassie, but was one step ahead of Southampton, and Ranieri had to consider alternative plans. Ligue 1 little black egg-Kante.

Crassie has good footwork.

After receiving the ball, he kicked the grass hard, suddenly accelerated, and rushed to the 30-meter area of ​​​​Arsenal.

Suddenly.

A burly figure blocked his forward route.

Maguire.

With a snap.

The weak body of the Dutch midfielder was easily carried away.

Maguire pushed forward after intercepting the ball, and immediately turned back to the back line in small steps.

"It was a crucial tackling!"

"The passing line is also very thoughtful!"

"Welbeck was found!"

"Arsenal's counterattack. Eh?"

The passion of the Emirates Stadium failed to be ignited again.

Welbeck was intercepted by Romeu before he stopped the ball!

On the sidelines.

Wenger shook his head helplessly.

It's not to blame Welbeck, but the little bald head from Southampton almost joined Arsenal.

Romeu, from the La Masia youth training camp.

One of the test products for the No. 4 position.

La Masia at that time had a pair of twin stars: "Beyond Messi" Bojan and "Not Losing to Busquets" Romeu.

Completed his Barcelona debut at the age of 18.

Joined Chelsea at the age of 20.

No matter how you look at it, Romeu's career is not much worse.

What a pity.

This little bald guy changed his evolutionary direction:

From a technical Spanish midfielder to a physical fighter;

From a pale-faced boy who was afraid of confrontation to a master of taking cards.

"He is worthy of being Busquets' successor."

"He didn't lose his anticipation and positioning awareness."

"Wow, a beautiful deep strike!"

Romeu sent a sharp pass and easily penetrated Arsenal's midfield defense.

Maguire, who was isolated and helpless, was struggling.

Like a peeled banana.

He was facing "Little Henry" Raymond.

The opponent pushed a little, stepped on the accelerator, and accelerated past him!

Maguire subconsciously swung his left foot back. Nothing was swung.

The aircraft carrier turned around.

The fans in the nearby stands burst into laughter.

"Raymond broke into the penalty area!"

"Nice pass!"

"Tadic!"

"Excellent! Cech's great save!"

"Hey! It's not far enough!"

"When did Van Dijk come up!"

"Wow!"

"Goal!"

"One to one!"

"Redemption!"

"Score twice!"

"The Dutch central defender scored twice in this game."

"Southampton equalized the score."

"Both sides are back on the same starting line!"

"Every spring, Arsenal always has an unexpected event."

The Gunners fans were silent in the stands.

The Saints fans were cheering in the stands.

This is how football matches are.

The respective supporters exchanged joy and sorrow.

Van Dijk excitedly ran to the corner flag area, lifted the team badge on his chest with his right hand, and bowed his head to kiss it.

The Saints teammates excitedly surrounded him.

Maguire put one hand on his waist and swung the other hand towards the empty defensive area just now.

"Why would a central defender like me make a fool of myself on the wing?"

Xhaka, who was in the defensive midfielder position, looked embarrassed and raised his hand to apologize.

It can't be said that they are bad.

But Southampton is really not weak.

They are very good at playing a mismatch in the change of possession!

It is difficult for players with slower speeds like Xhaka and Maguire to adapt.

The frontcourt loses possession too casually, and the pressure in the backcourt will be very high.

Why doesn't Wenger arrange fast defensive players?

The problem is that there are not many in Europe: Alaba of Bayern, Varane of Real Madrid, Rudiger and Manolas of Roma

The Premier League civil war is so fierce

The game resumed.

It gradually became dull.

The little fans in the stands took out their homework books from their schoolbags.

Pierre changed the formation.

Southampton resumed its "slow and methodical" style.

The "British villain" quickly changed his clothes and became a "gentle gentleman".

Li Kang sat on the bench.

The God's perspective quietly flows:

Southampton's formation has become 9-0-1!

Simple and pragmatic.

Time passed unknowingly.

Arsenal launched a fierce attack.

The sharp pass and cut from Ramsey was always disrupted by Van Dijk and Fonte.

The dense passing lines were like steel wires, but they seemed to strangle two water columns.

The Dutch central defender calmly commanded the back line.

Time and again, he resolved the Gunners' offensive.

"Most of Arsenal's attacks were resolved outside the opponent's 30-meter area."

"Don't worry!"

"We see Morata warming up!"

Live broadcast room.

-

[Dare to fight back? The professor has to be serious! 】

-

[There is no need to use Li Mingdeng, Morata can solve the battle by himself. ]

-

[Super striker is not exaggerated, Morata's assists this season are superb! ]

-

[Hurry up and break through Southampton's turtle formation and help the professor to avenge the previous shame! ]

-

[Avenge the previous shame! ]

-

[Is it strange? Southampton slaughtered all the main players of Arsenal 4-0 last season. ]

55th minute of the game.

Welbeck hit a world wave from 35 meters away from the goal.

The football hit the crossbar and flew to the stands.

The sigh at the Emirates Stadium lasted only a few seconds and was instantly drowned by a tide of applause.

Just because a handsome face appeared on the sidelines.

Morata!

"Wenger made the first substitution."

"Morata replaced young player Iwobi."

"Look forward to his magical performance!"

"This is the difficulty of fighting on multiple fronts. Once you save your strength for the Champions League, you will be passive when facing tough opponents in the league."

As soon as Morata came on the court, the situation changed greatly.

His running position created more space for Welbeck.

Retreating from time to time also greatly improved the efficiency of the midfield's advancement.

"Beautiful!"

"Immediate effect."

"This is the new generation super striker worth 50 million euros!"

"You can shoot!"

"Oh, Van Dijk blocked in time!"

"Arsenal fans don't have to worry."

"The next goal will not be too far away."

Duan Xuan suddenly realized that his commentary was a bit biased, and quickly added: "Tenacious Saints!"

The next goal?

Too far away.

Arsenal fans found that something was wrong with the scene.

Why was Morata's final shot so inaccurate?

Flexible running can help teammates create space.

But in the dangerous area, there is always no chemical reaction with Welbeck.

As the football flew out of the baseline again.

Morata and Welbeck communicated: spreading their hands to each other.

On the sidelines.

Bould covered his forehead helplessly.

He realized that before Lee appeared, Morata and Welbeck were shooters who wasted opportunities and could make hilarious highlights.

Heavy emotions gradually engulfed the Emirates Stadium.

Some Islington fans abused the Arsenal coaching staff.

Odd and small pieces of debris were smashed on the awning of the coaching seat, making a ping-ping sound.

Wenger's expression was calm.

The cold wind blew on his cheeks.

His left hand was in his shirt pocket, and his right hand was directing the team.

"The situation is not optimistic."

"Southampton got many counterattack opportunities, but Cech is in great form."

"Van Dijk's performance conquered North London!"

"He will definitely become the hottest central defender in the summer window!"

"It has been a long time since such a hero who defends the defense line appeared in the European arena!"

It seems that I can hear the lines of the commentator.

Van Dijk's eyes became more and more determined.

Like a general sitting in the rear, planning and commanding thousands of troops.

Tonight's Emirates Stadium is my stage.

The invincible Arsenal cannot be broken

Suddenly.

He saw a familiar figure outside the center circle.

His face changed drastically.

"Arsenal may have to accept another draw."

"Li Kang!"

"In the 83rd minute of the game, Li Kang stood on the sidelines!"

Dead ball stage.

The director immediately moved the camera to the outside of the center circle.

The eyes of the entire Emirates Stadium were focused there.

Wenger patted Li Kang on the shoulder.

The fourth official raised the LED number plate.

"Arsenal's second substitution adjustment."

"Replace Gibbs with Li Kang!"

"Only 7 minutes left in the regular time of the game."

"Mr. 200 million, can you change the situation?"

It happened to be Arsenal's throw-in opportunity.

The serve position was about 30 meters in the Southampton half.

The moment Li Kang stepped onto the green field.

A burly shadow appeared in the field of vision.

Stoke City No. 24.

Delap!

"Huh?"

"Li Kang signaled to Monreal that he would take the hand throw?"

"Very rare."

"Monreal's face was full of disbelief, as if saying: Big brother, get ready to receive the ball and organize the attack."

"The director's camera cut to the command area, and Bould and Wenger were also a little shocked."

"Isn't it the tactics arranged by the Arsenal coaching staff?"

In the surprised eyes of everyone.

Li Kang took the ball, stood outside the boundary, and began to retreat.

Pierre was very calm, and slowly directed his disciples: "Don't panic, open up the defensive distance a little bit, can Li still use his hands to hit the ball like a cannonball?"

Van Dijk also agreed.

Impossible.

Li couldn't have used his hands to create a threat opportunity at such a far distance.

Well, it must be passed to Ramsey.

Arsenal's attack direction should be concentrated in the side area.

Everyone thought this was an ordinary free kick.

The media reporters thought that Li Kang just wanted to try the opportunity to throw the ball out of bounds in the official game.

But.

The next moment.

Li Kang's posture changed their minds!

"This posture?"

"Do you want to hit the ball directly into the penalty area?"

"He has a golden left foot, but he doesn't have a golden arm!"

During the run-up.

Li Kang raised the ball high to the back of his head.

His body leaned back to an extremely exaggerated degree.

The whole person was like a giant siege catapult!

One step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

The footsteps of Arsenal's No. 10 seemed to make the entire Emirates Stadium tremble slightly.

In the field of vision.

One person and one shadow, completely overlapping.

The football left those hands.

The terrifying running speed seemed to tear the air apart!

Super heavy artillery!

Strong and domineering!

Unstoppable!

Whistling towards Southampton's penalty area!

The Emirates Stadium was extremely quiet.

All the spectators were dumbfounded!

Is this still a football game?

Pierre trembled all over.

Wenger was stunned. This incredible scene reminded him of an unpleasant fragment.

Van Dijk was nervous.

He turned around immediately.

Too late.

No matter how fast a person is, he is not as fast as the ball!

Bang!

The football hit a small black egg heavily.

It was reflected into the net!

2:1! ! !

Goalkeeper Foster was stunned.

Really stunned.

How many times have you seen the opponent throw a grenade directly from dozens of meters away?

"A stunning grenade throw-in!"

"Li Kang changed the score as soon as he came on the court!"

"Beautiful!"

"This ball went in. Oops, the hero of the goal - Welbeck fell to the ground!"

"The referee urged the team doctor to enter the court immediately!"

"It's okay!"

"Welbeck got up!"

"Great header!"

The live broadcast room, which had been silent for a long time, was suddenly dominated by barrages.

It was like a calm lake with a grenade thrown into it.
