What is a destructive midfielder?

Another semi-final.

Germany 5:0 Mexico.

Schalke 04 teenager Goretzka opened the scoring, North Rhine twin stars Havertz and Brandt dominated the game, and Werner broke the goal drought.

Löw was not too happy. He saw a lot of problems:

In the pre-match photo, Goretzka tried to encourage his teammates to make a "political" gesture.

During the game, Goretzka kept complaining about his teammates.

When his teammates scored, he cursed.

Because of his loss of position, Mexico launched a threatening attack, but he pushed the responsibility to Kimmich.

The German team doctor believes that long-term dieting and not taking high protein will cause an excellent young man to become eccentric, and Goretzka needs to gain muscle and weight.

After the game, Goretzka took all the credit for himself in an interview with reporters.

It was not until the assistant coach reminded him that he began to praise his teammates.

"Goal scoring is a matter of course for me. Lee set a benchmark: even if you are a midfielder, you can score a lot of goals."

"My playing style at Schalke 04 is almost exactly the same as Lee's."

"After this game, my value will at least increase. My teammates gave me very good assists. I broke the opponent's goal without much effort."

"I will not go to Bayern. Schalke 04 is my eternal home."

"Even if I leave, I will leave a lot of money for Schalke 04."

Live broadcast room.

-

[I bet he will not leave a penny for Schalke 04. He still refuses to renew his contract. He will definitely leave on a free transfer. Schalke 04 has lost a lot of money. They have driven away so many stars and made him the core. ]

-

[It's okay. At least he won't sue his parent club for the second time. ]

-

[I heard that Boateng and Muller wanted to beat Goretzka. He is too big a star. He is full of negative energy. He is not happy when the team wins. ]

-

[Spoiled by Schalke 04. 】

-

[The new generation of Ballack, the midfield soul of the future German team, the puzzle piece of the next World Cup champion, what's wrong with being a little more famous? 】

-

[Magnetic card was not like this before. He had chronic gastroenteritis and could not eat pork and nuts, which affected his endocrine system and caused his eccentric temper. When he resumes his regular diet in the future, his personality will definitely be normal. 】

The German team will not have internal strife because of these trivial matters.

Loew and Goretzka chatted for a few words.

The latter left the locker room depressed and kicked over the small chair in the aisle angrily.

Goretzka is very arrogant.

Whether in Bochum or Schalke 04, he enjoys the core treatment of being the center of attention.

Kimmich and Brandt hurried forward to comfort him.

"Leon, don't be angry. We can still win even if you don't play."

"You don't have many opportunities to play. Your level is not enough to become the core of the national team."

"When Li was in Leverkusen, he would not complain about his teammates even in difficult situations."

The two slapped the Schalke midfielder's face.

Gretzka gradually calmed down, and finally nodded sensibly after a while.

The German team has always been good at dealing with ball bullies: unless you are Beckenbauer.

Kazan training base.

The Spanish team held its last internal meeting.

The Confederations Cup schedule is very tight. In three days, they will go to St. Petersburg to fight the German team.

"The German team is likely to continue with the 3-4-2-1 formation."

"Because of the lineup changes, their ability to speed up on the wing has weakened a lot compared to the European Cup, and they will attack our center more often."

"In the defensive stage, they will switch to a 5-4-1 formation, and the success rate of predicting interceptions is very high."

"In the advancement stage, they don't like to complete breakthroughs through small-scale wall-collision cooperation. They prefer to pass the ball back to Kroos after attracting defense and play on the weak side through large-scale transfers."

"Because of the running-in problem of the new and old alternations, this German team is essentially still very dependent on the performance of several veterans such as Kroos."

"."

Mignano's progress is very fast. In two years, he has become a master of review from a physical coach.

The players listened carefully and took notes from time to time.

In fact, Spain is very similar to the schools of Wenger, Cruyff, etc.: no matter how the opponent plays, as long as we play a complete pass and control chain or pass and cut chain, with rhythm bursts, we have a chance to take the opponent away.

The meeting time was very short and did not delay the players' rest time.

Li Kang returned to the dormitory, turned on the computer and took a quick look at the "philosophy" lectures of several club coaches, and refreshed the teaching columns of Kroos and Maguire.

Next season will not usher in a crazy wave of tactical changes like last season.

The overall tactics of European giants have stabilized, which is a process of constantly improving weaknesses and making up for shortcomings.

Li Kang estimated that he did not need to use his brain to break the game.

Suddenly.

Morata sneaked into the room.

This guy had a bath towel tied around his crotch and looked anxious.

"Li, Enrique sent me a message. He said that I have no place in Arsenal's tactical system next season."

"Arsenal has signed Lacazette and Aubameyang, and believes that their finishing ability is better than mine."

"Real Madrid may let me go back."

"But my agent has contacted Chelsea. You know, my childhood dream is to join Chelsea."

"Diego, why are you standing outside the window and scaring people?"

The final day is coming.

Fans from all over the world gathered in St. Petersburg.

The classic West Germany battle will never lack attendance and ratings in the history of football.

The wind on the banks of the Neva River blows the flags of the Confederations Cup.

A grand closing ceremony is being held on the green field.

The grass is covered with Volga-style carpets.

The huge wooden robot twists its waist to the beat of the music.

"St. Petersburg has made the Russians realize their dream of the ocean."

"Mascot Zabivaka leads the honor guard into the stadium."

"."

"The Confederations Cup is about to end, is the World Cup far away?"

"Accompanied by Polina's singing, Maradona and Ronaldo enter the stadium holding the Confederations Cup championship trophy!"

Player tunnel.

There is no atmosphere of tension.

Li Kang hugs Brandt and Havertz briefly, and every bit of North Rhine occupies his mind in an instant.

Neuer and Boateng also briefly greeted each other.

So familiar.

Since Li Kang debuted, he has played against Bayern at least twice every season.

"It won't be so easy for us to meet Li in the Champions League next season."

"This sounds like a curse."

"CTV5! CTV5! Good evening, viewers."

"Now we are broadcasting the 2017 Confederations Cup final for you."

"Spain vs. Germany."

"The 'preview' of the Russian World Cup is about to come to an end."

"I wonder if the team that wins tonight can break the Confederations Cup curse next year?"

The referee team led the players from both sides into the field.

The St. Petersburg Stadium was immediately enveloped by cheers.

The guessing session ended.

Li Kang took his position on the green field.

No system prompt sounded.

Only one main task of winning the Confederations Cup was lit up in the task panel.

"Spain's formation is 3-5-2!"

"Goalkeeper: De Gea."

"Defenders: Azbiliqueta, Pique, Ramos."

"Midfielders: Saul, Busquets, Li Kang, Fabregas, Koke."

"Forwards: Diego Costa, Morata!"

"On the other side, Germany's formation is 3-4-3!"

"Goalkeeper: Neuer."

"Defenders: Hummels, Boateng, Rudiger."

"Midfielders: Kimmich, Kroos, Reus, Havertz."

"Forwards: Brandt, Werner, Draxler."
