What is a destructive midfielder?

Time passed by minute by minute.

Both sides played at a very fast pace, with the ball changing hands back and forth.

Whenever Li Kang touched the ball, a small booing sounded at the Bayer Arena, followed by a thunderous cheer.

Most of the Bayer fans unconsciously recalled the years when the North Rhine hero fought for the club.

Champions League semi-finals.

Bundesliga salad plate.

German Cup champion.

200 million transfer fee paid in installments.

All of this was left by Arsenal's No. 10 at this time.

Liking someone is inertia.

Hating someone requires self-motivation.

It is difficult for Leverkusen fans to motivate themselves to continue hating the "200 million traitors".

The 19th minute of the game.

Li Kang sent a super long pass near the center circle.

The football stuck to the grass, like a sharp blade, and instantly penetrated Leverkusen's midfield defense.

Morata started again.

David Luiz sprinted again and intercepted in the 30-meter area of ​​his own half!

"Just a little bit short again."

"The iconic pompadour makes people feel so relieved when he puts on the Leverkusen jersey."

"David Luiz is currently the most expensive central defender in European football. The price he paid when he transferred from Chelsea to Paris Saint-Germain has not been broken so far."

"If nothing unexpected happens, it will be broken by Van Dijk next season."

In football, we often hear "dream of having a son with Sampdoria", "dream of having a son with the King", "dream of having a son with the Demon", and "dream of having a son with the Oranje".

But David Luiz's family revealed that the pompadour actually has a "dream of having a son with the Arsenal".

At the time, it was only seen as a joke by the media: how could the expensive Brazilian central defender, who had moved from one club to another, join the Arsenal? Could the other party afford it?

Until later, this guy went on strike to join Arsenal

Morata stopped and turned around to give Li Kang a thumbs up.

Li Kang adjusted his shin guards.

After several attempts at attacking.

He has deconstructed the changes in Leverkusen's defense from a God's perspective:

The reason why David Luiz was so bold and wantonly lost his position and rushed forward was that other defensive teammates filled the gap for him.

He didn't need to be in position and face the attack.

Instead, he gave full play to his aggressiveness.

The Brazilian pompadour was no longer the background board for the 7:1 bloodbath by the German team. All the individual defects were covered up by Leverkusen's defense structure.

David Luiz passed the ball to Calhanoglu again.

The fans in the nearby stands shouted again:

"Pirlo!!!"

The old man Top and Dino on the sidelines were excited, and their raised fingers desperately poked the air.

Pass forward!

Balotelli ran out of position!

Calhanoglu couldn't help but tremble.

Leverkusen, your core is back!

Lean back.

Pull your right foot.

Bang!

The football took off from the ground.

Like a cruise missile, it leaped towards Arsenal's backcourt.

BayArena, cheers suddenly rang out!

"Beautiful!"

"Uninterrupted, the quality of the long pass of the King of Chaka can be ranked among the top in Europe!"

"Flat and fast trajectory!"

"Directly create an attack!"

"Just catch the Arsenal defense when it is not in place. Maguire!"

Arsenal half 30 meters area.

Maguire ignored Balotelli who passed by his side.

Instead, he jumped high.

Bang!

That huge forehead cut off Leverkusen's attack from the backcourt!

The football bounced to Xhaka's feet.

Old man Top and Dino on the sidelines were even more excited, and they raised their hands wildly, making a "rowing" gesture, indicating that the whole army should retreat.

Xhaka's vision is excellent.

He observed that in the process of Leverkusen's defense, the three central midfielders did not maintain the distance, but directly pressed towards Li Kang. At the same time, Calhanoglu and Bender retreated to the back line.

Can't go directly to Li.

To make a transition, and then gradually play the advantages of Arsenal's multiple attacking points, so as to assist Li

Thinking.

A big black egg with a mohawk covered the sight of Arsenal's midfielder!

With a snap.

The ball was robbed.

It was robbed in his own backcourt.

"Paul Merson once said: Xhaka will become Arsenal's Xavi after a few years of growth."

"Wow!"

"Balotelli's sneak attack was successful!"

"He sneaked behind Xhaka, poked the ball, and completed the steal!"

"Incredible!"

"Terrible personal ability!"

"Terrible explosive power! Sprint immediately after turning around!"

"Just like stealing Ramos in the European Cup final!"

Balotelli had a blank expression.

While running with the ball, the speed was getting faster and faster.

Black skin.

Perfect body lines.

Like a beast, it was wreaking havoc in the Gunners' half!

Maguire did not panic, he was not afraid of this heavy striker in frontal defense.

But Balotelli is not a heavy striker in the pure sense.

He is too comprehensive.

It's like Pogba in the form of a striker.

No.

Pogba is Balotelli in the form of a midfielder.

The moment the two of them got close.

Balotelli, who was in his right mind, used the "bicycle kick"!

With both feet above the football, he quickly stepped back and forth.

There was no continuous feint.

He accelerated suddenly.

He passed Maguire!

"Excellent!"

"Unique sense of rhythm!"

"Perfect muscle coordination!"

"Terrible center of gravity control!"

"Get rid of Arsenal's central defender in just one turn!"

"Balotelli!"

"Single-handed!"

"Good opportunity!"

Bayer Arena is completely boiling!

The Leverkusen fans are excited.

Balotelli is simply a gift from God to them, the successor of the North Rhine hero!

Old man Top and Dino bent over excitedly, staring at the Arsenal penalty area.

Very close.

The Bayer Leverkusen is about to break through the invincible Arsenal!

In the eyes of everyone in the stadium.

Balotelli rushed to the penalty area.

Suddenly.

Slowed down.

"Hey?"

"Why slowed down?"

"This posture, is it a flower foot or a back heel."

"It's understandable, after all, it's a goalkeeper of Cech's level."

Cech was ready.

This is not the first time the two have faced each other.

Champions League, Premier League, World Cup qualifiers

In every matchup, the tank-hatted goalkeeper will always experience a tormenting psychological game with the opponent.

Single-handed.

Not just a technical dialogue.

It is also a psychological game.

What a pity.

Cech really doesn't know what Balotelli is thinking.

Bang!

Balotelli suddenly turned around!

The back heel hit hard.

The football slid out of the baseline along the grass.

Cech was confused.

Bayer Arena was suddenly silent.

After two seconds of silence.

The mighty boos, like an avalanche, rolled down from the stands in all directions.

Completely drowned the Italian black egg.

Balotelli still had no expression on his face.

"What a pity!"

"What is he doing?"

"Is he thinking about life again?"

"Oh my!"

"What a waste of a great opportunity!"

"Unreasonable!"

"But this offensive opportunity was also created by Balotelli himself!"

Live broadcast room.

The barrage exploded.

-

[How could this goal not go in? He must have done it on purpose! ]

-

[Too stupid! What is the stupid big striker of Leverkusen thinking about? He could have just kicked the ball blindly. ]

-

[Balotelli is thinking about life, which mortals like us cannot understand. ]

-

[His brain is short-circuited, how many times has it short-circuited? I have seen eight or nine such behaviors in his highlights. ]

-

[Luckily, my 0:3 was almost over. ]

VIP box.

Völler, who was drinking water, suddenly sprayed Kiesling in the face.

Two generations of outstanding German strikers could not understand Balotelli's behavior at all.

"Sorry, wipe your face."

"If Balotelli had stayed in La Masia, Cruyff's physical condition might have been worse!"

On the side of the court.

Old man Top was so angry that his face turned red, and he kicked the coach's seat angrily.

"Damn Dr. Haken, didn't he say that Balotelli's mental state was very good?"

"Why would he do this?"

Dino quickly patted the Leverkusen coach on the chest: "Boss, don't be angry, treat what just happened as a normal missed goal. Damn it! What is Balotelli doing?"

On the other side.

Wenger and Bould breathed a sigh of relief.

Balotelli was once Puma's top star.

At that time, Puma said: 'If Arsenal signs Balotelli, we are willing to bear part of the transfer fee and salary, and hope that the brand ambassador can join the team sponsored by the company as soon as possible. "

The professor refused without a second thought.

Cech took the football thrown by the ball boy.

When he turned around, he saw Balotelli and Maguire "butting heads".

A burly man, one black and one white, was bumping heads and greeting each other.

Teammate of both sides had no time to separate.

Balotelli pushed Maguire, who immediately fell to the grass.

Beep!

The referee took out a yellow card in time.

"The penalty was decisive and effectively prevented the situation from escalating further."

"From the replay process, the two people just had a quarrel!"

"Balotelli's action was unnecessary."

"Maguire is fine, he just patted his butt and stood up. "

Xhaka was about to give Balotelli a "verbal warning".

Cazorla patted him on the shoulder and pointed to the front court: Pay attention to Li's next adjustment.

Leverkusen assistant coach Dino also noticed it.

Familiar gesture.

It made him feel dazed: as if he had returned to the days of fighting side by side with Li.

Quickly threw down the mineral water bottle: "Boss, Li is going to destroy our defensive structure on the left"

Old man Top was stunned and said helplessly: "If he can solve David Luiz, he will always be one step faster than us."

The game continued.

Cech ignored Maguire standing on the diagonal line.

Directly passed the goal ball to Li Kang who was retreating.

Leverkusen's frontcourt players immediately launched pressure.

"The pressing is fierce!"

"But the distance between the backcourt players is maintained very well."

"Does Balotelli want to try his luck again?"

"Beautiful positioning, cutting off the pass connection, providing Brandt with an excellent opportunity to steal the ball. Too detailed! "

Under normal circumstances, Balotelli has a high football IQ.

He had no intention of going head-to-head with Li Kang.

Instead, he blocked Li Kang's path with his tall and sturdy body.

Brandt rushed over from the side.

Blond short hair fluttered in the wind.

Chubby face, blushing.

He no longer had to adjust his skills according to the development of each month like he did two years ago.

Compared to Havertz, Brandt, who is "mature" this season, is the super star that European giants dream of!

When the two approached, there was no fierce fight.

Li Kang deflected the ball with his left foot and shook Balotelli off.

A simple move to get rid of him.

It actually distanced him from Brandt.

The latter didn't have time to kick.

Li Kang accelerated a little and instantly broke through the double team of the two!

"Too gentle!"

"A typical David Silva-style breakthrough."

"When faced with a small-scale local pressure, he chose the easiest solution!"

"After breaking through, he did not pass the ball to Cazorla!"

"He continued to dribble the ball forward!"

"His name resounded again in the BayArena!"

At the same time.

Arsenal's overall formation quickly pressed forward.

The players rushed to Leverkusen's half with an unstoppable spirit.

J Luo was very calm.

He did not participate in the interception, but retreated to the back midfielder position, directing Calhanoglu and Bender to open up the defensive width.

As long as the defensive structure is maintained, it will not be so easy for Li to break through Leverkusen's gate. Just like the second round of the Champions League semi-finals that year, Li alone could not

Thoughts were suddenly interrupted by dazzling passes!

The football just rolled through the center circle.

Li Kang passed the ball to Cazorla.

Arsenal ushered in a real acceleration.

The running positions gathered and dispersed from time to time.

Zooming.

Thrust.

Almost all offensive players have to constantly adjust their positions around Li Kang's running position!

What about football?

It is performing "the flowers are dazzling" on the green field.

"Passing and cutting from the center circle?"

"Incredible."

"I guess Wenger himself didn't think that Arsenal's signature stunt would be upgraded to such a terrifying attack radius now!"

"The main attack direction is Leverkusen's left wing!"

James Rodriguez was stunned.

The wet jersey was close to his back.

The chill penetrated his bones.

Which European team can resist this level of independent attack? Juventus? Atletico Madrid?

If the Champions League semi-finals of that year.

No, Li's real purpose is to disrupt our defense structure

On the side of the court.

Wenger still sat quietly in the coaching seat, smiling and clapping softly.

Boulder couldn't help but want to celebrate in advance.

On the other side.

Old man Top gestured excitedly, his expression panicked.

Dino stared at Arsenal's No. 10 on the green field.

The pen tip slid quickly on the small notebook.

"Li alone has improved Arsenal's offensive system by two levels."

"Running spacing, attack point conversion, passing line."

"The stability of the pass is terrible!"

"We seem to be facing the peak dream three Barcelona, ​​or the accelerated version!"

Thirty-meter area.

David Luiz observed his teammates' positions and turned on the free mode.

That's right.

If you want to make good use of the Brazilian pompadour, either equip him with Thiago Silva or Cahill, or free up his defensive area!

Leverkusen chose the latter!

"Someone must stand up in the pharmaceutical factory!"

"David Calhanoglu!"

Calhanoglu has a good vision, and his ability to read the game has also made a leap forward during this period.

He ignored James Rodriguez's command and moved sideways quickly.

He was about to approach Cazorla who had just stopped the ball.

Leverkusen.

Your core of both offense and defense is back.

Poke!

Nothing was poked!

Arsenal midfield master showed off a trick!

The football passed through the crotch of Leverkusen's core player.

"Excellent!"

"Calhanoglu lost his balance and fell to the ground, so embarrassed!"

"Huh?"

"Why did Li Kang appear in the middle!"

"Morata touched the ball and knocked it over in time!"

"So tacit!"

From the perspective of God.

Most of Leverkusen's defensive power was concentrated on the left.

The shadow of the little lion Brian let out a childish roar!

The evening breeze of North Rhine.

Blowing Arsenal's No. 10 jersey.

Li Kang faced the football.

Leaning his body.

Swinging his arms.

Kicking his foot.

With great force.

At this moment.

It was as if the entire Bayer Arena sighed softly.

Bang!

A bang that resounded through the night sky.

It brought all the audience back to the Champions League qualifiers two years ago.

That was where the legend began!

The football was like thunder.

Whistling!

Spinning!

Strong and domineering!

With great momentum!

It went straight through Leverkusen's goal!

Jonathan covered his block with both hands.

Leno was stunned in front of the goal.

The net behind him was twisted into an exaggerated shape by the violent spin.

0:1! ! !

Time seemed to have frozen for a long time.

Clap!

Clap, clap, clap!

The waves of warm applause gradually brought the dazed people back to consciousness. But they couldn't help but raise their hands and join in the cheering.

"Beautiful!"

"This ball goes in!"

"A shocking heavy artillery shot!"

"Li Kang used his signature long-range shot to break through the goal of his old club!"

"The deadlock on the field was broken!"

"A pleasing pass and cut!"

"A sharp and domineering finish!"

"This Arsenal's offensive system is approaching perfection!"

The live broadcast room.

The bullet comments were flying.

-

[Where the dream begins! ]

-

[So cool! ]

-

[Feinted attack on the left, finished in the middle, unstoppable, super sharpshooter! ]

-

[Don't say that, it's Li Kang's ability to change the direction of attack that is amazing. ]

-

[If it weren't for Calhanoglu and David Luiz defending the left at the same time, Arsenal might not have changed the direction of attack, and continuing to attack the left would have also been effective! ]

-

[This is to praise Morata's retreat and ball-playing, and the telepathic pass back! Give Leo an Italian cannon. 】

-

[Why do I feel like Arsenal is treating this game as a tactical experiment? After all, the main players haven't played for a long time! 】

-

[Mertesacker: I am really the captain! 】

-

[I was moved to tears! After Leo scored against his old club, he didn't celebrate! 】

-

[He didn't celebrate much when he scored against other teams. 】

On the side of the court.

Wenger celebrated with a fist.

Boulder excitedly high-fived the players on the bench.

On the other side.

Old man Top finally calmed down.

Dino put the notebook back into his trouser pocket and asked in confusion: "Boss, is there sand in your eyes?"

The second half is also written, but it needs to be deleted.

I wish you all a happy holiday.
