What is a destructive midfielder?

As the football moved on the grass.

The cheers from the home stands flooded the green field like a torrent.

"Manchester City has the ball."

"Five Chelsea frontcourt players rushed through the center circle. Is this still the bus we are familiar with?"

"Crowded center circle."

"High-level battle between the two sides!"

Diego Costa trash-talked Fernandez.

David Silva swayed right and left, got rid of Hazard's entanglement, and quickly passed the ball to the wing.

Kyle Walker, wearing a Manchester City jersey, was like a bulldozer!

After taking the ball, he rushed forward.

Accelerate!

When he ran over the 40-meter area of ​​Chelsea's half, two tall figures rushed over quickly.

Li Kang and Rudiger.

One blocked the inside line, and the other blocked the outside line.

Walker had no desire to force a breakthrough, his steps stopped suddenly, and he hurriedly knocked the ball behind him.

"Why is Stones in this position?"

"He plays more like a defensive midfielder now!"

"The advantage of Guardiola's high defensive line is to release the coverage of a central defender."

"A beautiful ground transfer!"

Snap!

Stones' short pass, vision and awareness have improved a lot after a season of training.

The football was close to the grass and moved diagonally to the middle.

David Silva and Fabregas appeared on the passing line at the same time.

The two are talented midfielders who rose with the bullfighter dynasty.

The former took a better position to receive the ball.

When he was about to stop the ball, he gently raised his foot to let it pass.

It slipped past.

The football ignored the confrontation between the two and continued to roll towards its destination.

"Beautiful!"

"De Bruyne!"

"Kante is here too!"

"Statistics show that in the match between the two last season, De Bruyne had the upper hand, but the clip of Kante chasing back and stealing the ball went viral."

"The highlights misled many fans. It was wonderful. He turned halfway and passed the ball diagonally!"

The audience didn't see De Bruyne's movements clearly for a while.

The short visual information transmitted to the brain became: the football touched between De Bruyne and Kante, and then bounced to the left side!

Width.

The advantage of width.

Guardiola used the extreme formation of 3-1-4-2, which gave Manchester City more ways to avoid strangulation during the advancement process, and the advantage of six attack points could be laid out in an instant of speed.

The light blue torrent quickly spread to Chelsea's dangerous area!

"Sane kicked the ball and crossed it from this position?"

"Aguero's fake run back and forth successfully countered the offside!"

"Caballero's position was too far back."

"Manchester City's chance!"

Aguero's playing style during the Atletico Madrid period was very popular. He was a real offensive core, an all-around center forward who could break through, pass, dribble and shoot, and often solved battles by himself.

What kind of goal was scored by passing three people in a row, what kind of inverted golden hook in a crowd, what kind of extreme continuous wall collision, what kind of command and advancement, what kind of soul straight pass, and played all kinds of god-level performances full of spiritual energy.

It is not uncommon to turn the tide and play a game with one's own strength.

At that time, Atletico's overall strength was in a downturn, and this South American genius had a heavy task to bear.

After he came to the Premier League, he officially transformed into a pure shooter.

Etihad Stadium.

The Blues fans were very nervous.

The Blue Moon fans cheered.

Aguero, who used his running position to create a spatial advantage, dribbled the ball to the top of the penalty area, and no one interfered!

Caballero in front of Chelsea's goal looked extremely embarrassed.

Beep!

The sudden whistle interrupted everyone's expectations.

"The linesman raised the flag!"

"Is it offside?"

"Ah! From the replay, Aguero is indeed offside!"

"Failed to counter offside!"

Aguero looked helpless, he walked towards the female linesman, chattering.

The moment he approached.

He reached out and touched the female referee's neck.

All kinds of boos suddenly sounded from the stands on all sides.

Live broadcast room.

Barrages flew.

-

[Why does this guy always touch the female referee? He has done this kind of shit before! ]

-

[Greasy! ]

-

[South American oil king. ]

-

[The referee won't give a card? Diego Costa got a card for touching the male referee last time! ]

-

[Chelsea's game is very dangerous, the goalkeeper's position selection problem is very serious, the formation is pressed to a high position, why is he dragging it back so much? 】

On the sidelines.

Tuchel and Guardiola are making hand seals.

It's like a battle of wits, or like an old lady quarreling.

Caballero kicked the ball out from the backcourt at the offside position of the opponent.

A little pressure.

Manchester City's high-position siege is very fierce.

Fortunately, David Luiz has good footwork and a fast ball-passing speed.

After a few hundred words of oppression and counter-oppression game of "this, this, and then that".

Chelsea's backcourt still passed the ball to Li Kang's feet.

The God's perspective also went through a few hundred words of deconstruction of the high-position line defense of "this, this, and then that".

The Etihad Stadium cheered again.

"Pay attention, Kyle Walker's retreat range is very large!"

"Manchester City has reorganized the four-back defense line!"

"Chelsea has slowed down the pace of advancement."

Li Kang cut the ball back with the inside of his foot, and a "magic circle of love" got rid of David Silva's pressing.

With a snap!

The ball rolled towards Diego Costa who was retreating to support.

Feiniao and Stones were also "pulled" out by him.

"The Chelsea striker made a mistake in stopping the ball! It was a beautiful response!"

"Killing two birds with one stone, not only opened up the defense, but also completed the wall-to-wall coordination with Li Kang!"

Diego Costa did not stop the ball due to interference.

Fortunately, he was on his back.

A flick of the football.

It happened to bounce onto Li Kang who was running forward.

Li Kang did not slow down, took advantage of the situation and continued to rush forward.

Diego Costa did not rush forward, but continued to retreat.

Follow Tuchel's deployment.

He has to frequently switch between the "attacking forward" and "laying forward" forms during the game.

There was a moment of turmoil on the left side of Manchester City.

Walker, who switched to fullback status, quickly joined forces with Kompany to intercept the Blues' new core!

The local space is extremely crowded!

"No hard thrust!"

"Li Kang knocked the ball with his right foot to Hazard who was on the outermost line!"

"Walker reacted quickly! Adjust defensive positioning!"

"Azar can't get through there are too many people in this area, it's too crowded!"

"He chose to pass back!"

"Back pass to Diego Costa!"

“The thinking is very clear!”

"The three people cooperated continuously, stumbling, and saw that the ball was about to be lost at any time!"

Li Kang accelerated and broke through the rib space of Walker and Kompany.

Three steps into the restricted area.

Diego Costa, the "deep-lying forward" who was trailing behind, kicked the ball.

Boom!

Another interference from Stones!

The pass is too powerful!

The line is off!

The bottom line is about to be drawn!

"Oh Tuhel, didn't he ask Lu Zhishen to do embroidery?"

"Fortunately, Li Kang's feet are long enough!"

"The hook ball fell to the ground and swept to the goal!"

From God's perspective.

Diego Costa's deep retreat took away Fernando and Stones.

Kyle Walker and Kompany were also broken by themselves and Hazard!

Pedro on the right, the opponent only has Otamendi left!

Courtside.

Tuchel looked excited.

He believed he had found a balance between his tactical ideals and Li Kang's.

Just kick it!

Use "Position Blur" to defeat "Position Blur"!

The other side.

Guardiola was so surprised that he covered his mouth with his hands.

"Right!"

"Pedro!"

"Ghostly movement!"

"Get rid of Otamendi!"

"Empty door!"

"Oops, the legs are still too short!"

The toes of La Masia's demon sword could not reach the football

Night falls.

Waves of exclamations and regrets enveloped the Etihad Stadium.

Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief: Li, who had lost his center of gravity, still sent a cross to the ground that was confusing, and he almost had no time to adjust his position.

Pedro was a little embarrassed.

He quickly got up, trotted to the bottom line on the left side of the goal, and pulled Li Kang up.

Studio.

-

【What's going on? Both sides are playing well, but they just can't score? 】

-

[If you don’t believe me, the big ball is cold, Diego Costa, he can’t do fancy things, Zhang Fei is embroidering, it’s just a direct pass sent by luck. 】

-

[I think this is Tuchel's feint attack on the strong side, which is what he likes to do in Dortmund. 】

-

[Let me analyze the situation and tactical game for you: this way, this way and that way, do you understand? 】

-

[I understand, these two teams are really awesome! Li Mingdeng is so handsome! 】

Li Kang was pulled up by Pedro.

The system prompt sounded quietly.

【Ding! Teammate Pedro's friendship with you is detected and the bond is established! 】

[Blue Bond: Demon Sword Unsheathed Level 1! 】

[Bond effect: Your breakthrough and arc control have been slightly improved, and Pedro feels several months younger. 】

[The effect only takes effect after two people play at the same time. 】

[When the bond is established for the first time, some of your abilities will be restored to their optimal state. (Only once in the whole game)]

The shadow energy in Li Kang's brain instantly filled up.

Full of blood again?

Originally, as time passed, not a drop of energy was lost.

Kompany has obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Dead ball phase.

When he saw Li Kang walking past him, the grass clippings on the dark blue jersey made him a little uncontrollable.

Especially the area with the No. 10 LOGO on the back.

Snap, snap, snap.

After all, Lao Kong couldn't help but stretched out his hand and gently patted the grass clippings off Li Kang's body.

not far away.

Diego Costa is exchanging trash talk with Fedora.

"Game resumes!"

"Manchester City's attack from the back!"

"Long pass from Stones!"

"This goal is a bit taken for granted, Chelsea's midfield barrier"

A surprising scene happened.

Kanter's prediction of the landing point was very accurate.

He leaped high into the air.

The football flew past his head.

Although fans changed his height to 1.74 meters, his actual height is 1.67 meters!

"defect!"

"The biggest flaw of Chelsea's midfield triangle combination of Li Kang + Cesc Fabregas + Kante."

"In 2017, modern football's height requirements for midfielders and backfield players are 1.7 meters!"

"Jesus!"

Kanter was not discouraged and immediately turned around to chase after him!

Jesus did not dare to be careless after taking off the football and quickly distributed it to the wing!

Sane again!

Guardiola was obsessed with Manchester City's frontcourt attack routines during this period.

No messing around.

All the details had to be in accordance with his requirements!

Sane slowed down, made some adjustments, and dared not kick the ball to the middle at will.

Waiting for David Silva to advance!

Go on the ground!

In an instant, the Blue Moon's dense frontcourt attack points set off a suffocating pass and run in Chelsea's half!

Half space.

Width utilization.

Position rotation.

Vertical zipper.

Side rib conduction.

This way and that, individual skills are superb, and the overall operation is smooth.

Whether it is Liverpool's high-position crazy grab or the diagrammatic layered stranglehold, it is difficult to easily cut off the Blue Moon's football!

The football came to the right rib, at De Bruyne's feet.

Kyle Walker's side.

After De Bruyne sent a diagonal pass, he quickly retreated two steps.

Rudiger turned and pounced on the Manchester City full-back.

Kyle Walker touched the ball!

The ball rolled towards De Bruyne again.

"Too much redundant, Chelsea has already completed the defensive position at this time!"

"Wow! Rainbow!"

Snap!

De Bruyne shook his big butt and swung his right leg slightly.

The ball lifted off the ground.

Spinning violently.

Falling to the area of ​​the left goal post.

Over the Chelsea penalty area, an extremely beautiful arc was drawn!

Perfect trajectory.

Like a gorgeous rainbow!

Chelsea goalkeeper-Caballero, a little panic.

Any goalkeeper in the world standing here would panic.

-

[Ding Ding is awesome! ]

Sane appeared at the landing point like a lion with an afro!

Header!

Snap!

The bullet was fired!

It seemed that De Bruyne blocked the temple of the Chelsea goal with a gun, and then Sane pulled the trigger!

Caballero was powerless.

A chill swept over his body.

Despair

In despair, a figure blocked him!

Azpilicueta!

Bang!

Bang!

The football was kicked out of the bottom line and AZP's head hit the post heavily!

"Rescue in front of the goal!"

"Azpilicueta stood up and used his actions to prove to the world: no matter what tactical system Chelsea uses, the iron-blooded and tenacious in its bones will not fade"

"Iron-blooded temperament! It doesn't matter, even if we can't continue to fight! Chelsea still has several excellent defenders on the bench"

"Hey? No bleeding!"

"Climbed up as if nothing happened!"

"What is his head made of?"

"."

"Anyway, Chelsea has reached the most critical moment, and the defense is shaky!"

The away fans are worried.

Uncomfortable.

How did Guardiola's Manchester City become so strong this season?

The stability of high-speed passing and running is too high, and there are almost no mistakes.

Which European team can resist their advancement in the "front high position"?

Azpilicueta rubbed his forehead and got up again, still feeling scared: he was not worried about his injury, but worried that if Sane had just passed the ball to the middle, he would have lost his position to defend in vain!

Fortunately, Sane is independent and doesn't like to pass the ball, just like Pedro.

On the sidelines.

Tuchel applauded vigorously.

He was satisfied with the performance of the players.

Dino frowned: "Boss, if we don't play low defense next, it will be very dangerous."

Chelsea's new coach answered seriously: "No, facing this Manchester City, if we choose to play low defense, then... we will be like a frog boiled in warm water!"

"Boss, the theory of boiling frogs in warm water is wrong!"

"."

On the other side.

Guardiola continued to dance and seal.

No one knew his psychological activities.

Time passed by minute by minute.

After the opening bombardment.

Gradually, both sides deliberately slowed down the pace of the game.

David Silva and De Bruyne did not play head-on attack, but played well on the flanks.

Sane and Kyle Walker on the two wings did not "overlap" in the traditional sense.

Instead, they rotated to the middle many times.

Jesus' position was getting further and further back.

Li Kang was full of energy. He wanted to assist the back line many times, but found that he did not need to. If he suddenly fell back to assist in the mobile defense, it would only squeeze the defensive space of his teammates and disrupt the unified defensive thinking.

Mobile defense.

Not positional defense.

Chelsea's last line of defense is very solid. Spilicueta and Cahill have been running-in very well for many years.

Although David Luiz is a second-time player and Rudiger is a new player.

But their plug-and-play implementation is very strong.

Who is not a T0, T1 central defender!

The voices gradually died down.

The Blues fans are desperate.

The Blues players were not desperate, but had doubts:

Because before the game started, Tuchel made changes in the deployment of different time periods of the game.

Is it reliable?

The 35th minute of the game.

Kante finally beat De Bruyne!

"Another wonderful moment that can be included in the highlights!"

"The thick Ding Ding fell down!"

"No problem!"

"The little giant's chasing back and shovel was very clean!"

Tuchel's expression was calm and he quickly formed a seal!

He waited for a long time!

Finally, he waited for the opportunity to adjust!

Why impact this time period?

Because of this and that. An excellent coach must grasp the strengths and weaknesses of different periods of the game!

Fabregas received a pass from Kante.

Diego Costa starts.

‘Faculty Connection’?

no.

Li Kang moved forward from the left half, and Pedro retreated closer to the center.

La Masia youth training magic triangle!

In an instant, Chelsea silenced the Etihad Stadium!

Stones and Kompany had to be taken away by Diego Costa!

In the left half, Feiniao, David Silva, and Kyle Walker simply couldn't stop their opponent from pushing flat on the ground.

Li Kang and two film and television school alumni passed the ball one after another.

Spacing is shortened!

Reasonable running maintains a reasonable triangle.

Manchester City's central barrier was torn open in an instant.

Feiniao did not give up, he was ready to use fouls to destroy Chelsea's attack!

He reached out and grabbed Li Kang.

no offence.

But he was dragged down by that terrifying force.

His knee accidentally hit Li Kang's crotch.

Bang?

How could it be snap?

Does it feel like a hard iron plate?

Is this kid wearing iron underwear?

Guardiola is also making seals.

The disciples were reminded to pay attention to intercepting Li Kang's passing connections while shrinking the defensive line.

‘Tuchel’s offensive system will definitely not give Lee freedom. ’

‘After Li enters the thirty-meter area, the optimal solution can only be to score the ball! ’

Li Kang got rid of the strong Feiniao.

The shadows on the brain spread to the extreme.

Keep pushing forward.

An explosive head followed closely: the extremely fast Sane.

Stones no longer helped defend Kompany, adjusted his direction, and tried to intercept Li Kang from the front.

Today is different from the past!

Today's Manchester City defense is confident of intercepting the Iberian hero, the sword bearer of the Matador dynasty, the king of North Rhine, the French nightmare, the commander of the arsenal, and the talker of Stamford Bridge.

bring it on!

A surprising scene happened.

The moment the three of them approached.

The Eye of Truth bursts forth.

Li Kang slowed down, pushed the ball diagonally forward with his left foot, and then pulled it!

"Fake fax!"

"The V-word is awesome!"

"Deceived the most comfortable breakthrough path!"

"Charge over!"

"Stones and Sane are very tenacious and have terrible turning speed!"

"But they have lost their positional advantage and it is difficult to grasp their body center of gravity during the pursuit."

"The man fell on his back!"

Guardiola held his head in his hands, looking confused.

At this moment, it is Manchester City's defense that is crumbling!

Hazard, Pedro and Fabregas are not lazy!

The three opened up the offensive width.

Diego Costa stopped, waiting for changes in the path of attack. He was preparing for a physical battle between men with Kompany.

Goalkeeper Ederson stepped up!

this moment.

He seemed to be possessed by the "attacking" goalkeeper of the 20th century!

Manchester City's three-dimensional defense line of "goalkeeper + defender" has taken shape in 2017!

It's no use!

Snapped!

The crisp sound of the ball being touched!

The football left the instep of Li Kang's left foot.

After his teammates stretch Manchester City's defense to a certain extent, his own shot will make all the tactical games of "this, this, and that" disappear.

Football is on the rise quickly.

Then fell rapidly.

A beautiful arc was outlined above the Manchester City penalty area!

Just the right amount of force.

There is not even half a minute of deviation in the line.

The ball speed is neither tight nor slow.

Ederson quickly turned around and ran back. At this moment, he finally experienced what Neuer felt.

Manchester City fans are in a state of confusion: Why does our goalkeeper stand so far forward?

The football crashed into the goal line.

Edson reached out and fished it out.

The referee's watch vibrated and then indicated that the goal was valid.

0:1! ! !

"pretty!"

"The ball is in!"

"An elegant arc!"

"Gentle cumshot!"

"break the ice!"

"Li Kang scored his first Premier League goal in Chelsea career!"

“A moment worth remembering!”

"He's captured the Etihad Stadium again!"

"There is a crack in the upcoming Blue Moon Dynasty!"

"Ederson's positioning is very irrational. He should know Li Kang's passing and lob skills that were honed by Neuer!"

Studio.

Barrage flying.

-

【So handsome. 】

-

[Without Li Mingdeng trailing behind, he can easily connect with his teammates' passing and advancement! 】

-

[Pedro retreated and moved to the center, followed by a ground pass from the Chelsea midfielder, catching Manchester City off guard. 】

-

[Chelsea now has the ultimate Xavi, otherwise why would we send you Pedro to play? Wouldn't it be nice to play traditional tactics and let William play? 】

-

[It is not passed on all the time. Let Li Mingdeng handle the weak areas by himself. 】

-

[Spanish training match? 】

Li Kang basked in the spotlight.

Brain shadow shrinks.

The red line from God's perspective has not been touched in this game: Tuchel has already given the optimal solution for the overall game break.

Chelsea fans who traveled with the army chanted slogans.

“Keep the Blue Flag Flying High!!!”

Teammate on the bench couldn't help but leave their seats and rushed to the sidelines to celebrate with fists!

Diego Costa rushed to the scene of the incident and raised Li Kang's hand.

Hazard glanced at the game time on the big screen in the air, and couldn't help but sigh: It's too easy to win with Li as a teammate.

Fabregas and Pedro bumped fists: their thoughts seemed to drift back to South Africa in 2010.

Sidelines.

Tuchel had a smile on his face.

Dino looked excited and said:

"Manchester City will indeed construct a '3-3' and '2-3' defensive group in the midfield in this game."

"Part of their defensive strength is used to limit Hazard without the ball."

"The main idea is to disrupt our passing and connection in the middle and long distances."

"The short passes of Li, Pedro and Fabregas on the ground disrupted."

Tuchel shook his head: "It's not that complicated."

He turned and walked to the coaching seat, dragging out a tactical board: "Next, we have to respond to Guardiola's changes through changes."
