The Arsenal bench was unusually quiet.
Old Man Top's voice reached everyone's ears.
Bould was a little impatient: "More than ten years ago, when we defeated Leverkusen 4:1, the old man said the same thing. Where did he get the confidence? We are in the lead!"
Wenger's eyes were fixed on Leverkusen's No. 10 on the court.
The mineral water bottle in his hand was not steady for a moment and fell to the ground.
'The core of the midfield of all teams, the goal in the game is to maintain the overall offensive and defensive operation and follow the ending method within the tactical system. '
'But he is destroying. He destroyed Roma's system, Borussia Monchengladbach's system, and Tuchel's system.'
Bould picked up the mineral water bottle and put it back in Wenger's hands.
"Boss! It's easy for us to hold on to the score!"
Wenger nodded.
The Arsenal assistant coach quickly ran to the sidelines and made a gesture!
Cazorla understood.
Tighten the defense line.
Maintain the lead until the end.
The Emirates Stadium echoed with Leverkusen’s cheering chants!
“Leverkusen allez!!!”
Fans all over the world are the same. Very satisfying.
If the strength gap between the opponent and the opponent is too large, losing will not matter.
The key is for players to be able to run the offense.
Li Kang picked up the football from the net and quickly ran back to the center circle.
The negative emotions of the teammates gradually dissipated.
The best way to boost morale is not to be stunned, but to use actions to change the situation of the game.
Calhanoglu and Bellarabi are warming up on the sidelines.
The black German said: "Hakan, if we play together, will it drag down Lee? It won't fit his style of play."
Calhanoglu remained silent.
Not to mention anything else, he was very good at training with the 'Love Magic Circle' move, but he just couldn't use it in actual combat.
Well. The only thing I am better than Li is in passing the ball in the air!
Rabbi Bella said excitedly: "Fake! Dino is calling us!"
"After Leverkusen equalized a goal, they made two substitutions in a row!"
"Bella Rabbi replaces Brandt! A matchup substitution."
"Calhanoglu replaces Borges! This substitution has some ideas! Is Leverkusen going to play three central defenders instead?"
On the sidelines of the center circle.
Old Man Top put his arms around Calhanoglu's shoulders and said hastily: "Hakan, don't have any evil intentions! Let your position be moved back to close to the high defense line! I will let Kramer and Bender protect you!"
"Imitate Xhaka of Borussia Monchengladbach, Weigl of Dortmund, and Miralem Pjanic of Roma!"
"Take full advantage of your long-pass dispatching! Release Li!"
"You are the core of the organization!"
Hear these words.
Calhanoglu suddenly shook his body!
Before setting foot on the green field.
He dropped to his knees and kissed the turf.
Leverkusen, your core, is back!
After the substitution is completed.
Dino wondered: "Boss, why."
The old man Top said solemnly: "Arsenal will turn the next game into a long positional battle! The other players' foot skills cannot maintain La Masia's style of play, and we have to release Li!"
"Hakan is the best cannon fodder!"
The circle reopens during the race.
Arsenal did not invest much in the offensive end.
Leverkusen's frontcourt players launched a crazy press.
The football flew out of bounds during several fierce scrambles!
The ball is back in Leverkusen's hands.
Hilbert reluctantly threw the ball to Calhanoglu!
Arsenal did not press, their formation quickly retreated, and the gap between the midfield line and the back line disappeared.
"Very cautious! If it were ten years ago, Wenger would definitely not have chosen such a tactic!"
"Leverkusen's momentum is too strong and must be used up!"
"Arsenal has an obvious weakness, which is control in the transitional phase of attack and defense. Wenger hopes to use conservative play to cover up this shortcoming."
Duan Xuan is actually talking nonsense.
The TV station's tactical commentary has been criticized by viewers for decades.
It can only be explained by the tradition from more than ten years ago.
This makes the majority of viewers still have the inherent impression of the European leagues in the 1990s in 2015: Serie A is defensively sharp, the Premier League is technically rough, the Bundesliga is strong-willed, and La Liga does not play long balls.
The changes in the development of football are extremely drastic. The five major leagues, including even the Icelandic Super League, have many teams advocating different playing styles.
Calhanoglu’s shortcomings are many.
But his position is behind the formation.
Without interference, his passing accuracy in a wide range of situations is extremely stable.
How stable is it?
Among the young geniuses of the same period, only four people can compare with him.
Li Kang was released, and he was just like the national team, roaming behind the striker!
Leverkusen pressed Arsenal in the penalty area and launched a crazy siege.
Footballs kept flying back and forth between the wings.
Rabbi Bellarin clung to Bellerin, spouting trash.
Son Heung-min kept running laterally, stretching the defense.
Kiessling was at the front of the formation, squeezing Mertesacker!
Most of Arsenal's defensive forces are paying attention to Li Kang's movement.
The game time passed by minute by minute.
The viewers in the live broadcast room couldn't stand it.
-
【so boring! What are you kicking? Does Leverkusen not want to equalize? There are not many manpower devoted to the attack! 】
-
【Dig! Calhanoglu's position is so deep? Need two defensive midfielders to protect him? No matter how good the planning is, if there are not enough attack points, it will be in vain! 】
-
[As long as Arsenal maintains its lead, they can gain the initiative in the second round! If Li Mingdeng gets two away goals! So if the second round ends 0-0 or 1-1, Leverkusen will advance to the quarterfinals! 】
-
[It feels a little weird. 】
Courtside.
Boulder's mood grew lighter.
"Boss, after Leverkusen changed to a formation of three central defenders and three defensive midfielders, they actually have very few attacking points on the wings!"
Wenger shook his head: "Calhanoglu's long pass schedule crushed our defense, and the defense in the middle will be..."
The words just fell.
An extremely horrific scene occurred on the court.
Bellarabi couldn't find a breakthrough opportunity on the right and quickly passed the ball back to the middle!
Arsenal's defense took the initiative to lean towards the left!
In just a moment, a gap was revealed!
Calhanoglu is not stupid.
He realized this was an opportunity to take a long shot from the center!
I hesitated for a long time.
He took a few steps and moved forward.
The moment he caught the football, he still didn't choose to kick it himself.
Instead, he sent a through ball.
The football rolled to Li Kang's left side.
Dominant foot direction!
From God's perspective.
Arsenal's defense was pulled by Calhanoglu's left and right maneuvers, and there was a flaw in the middle!
Li Kang got rid of Cochran's entanglement.
Stop the ball with your left foot and push it forward slightly.
Three steps to run!
Swing your arms!
Lean back!
Get up!
In the field of vision, the phantom of Blue No. 13 spurted out!
Chelsea's version of Ballack!
Boom!
Accompanied by an ultimate explosion!
Football is like a thunder!
Draw a strange arc in the sky above the Emirates Stadium!
With a fierce and domineering power!
Roaring towards the door of Arsenal!
Arsenal fans are shocked!
Leverkusen fans held their breath!
Dino and Top are ready to celebrate!
Wengra wouldn't unzip his coat!
Cech's pupils shrank.
He and Ballack were good friends at Chelsea.
This arc heavy artillery.
The two have practiced countless times.
He was so familiar.
Familiar shooting action.
A familiar arc.
The Arsenal goalkeeper leaped forward.
White gloves together.
Ssangyong goes to sea!
Boom!
There was another ultimate explosion.
The football, carrying the power of wind and thunder, was abruptly changed in direction!
Fly beyond the bottom line!
The whole place was quiet.
Everyone was stunned.
After a few seconds of silence.
Emirates Stadium, thunderous applause!
"Catch a heavy shot with both fists!"
"Rescue the danger at the door!"
"After Cech joined Arsenal! He once again performed the miracle he did at Chelsea!"
"It's just that I used one hand back then!"
"Wonderful heavy shot from far away and wonderful save!"
"17-year-old Li Kang and 33-year-old Cech contributed a great moment to us!"
Courtside.
Dino murmured: "Boss, do we still have hope of equalizing?"
Old Man Top slowed down and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, this is the script! Even if Li's long-range shot does not convert into a goal, it will make the Arsenal coaching staff make changes. Hakan's cannon fodder value will be reflected immediately. !”
The Leverkusen coach’s plan is very simple:
Relying on the advantageous principle of away goals in both legs of the Champions League.
Arsenal did not dare to take risks at this stage and could only choose to slow down the pace and adopt a defensive posture.
Calhanoglu's wide-ranging long-pass scheduling from both wings will flatten their defense. As a result, the defense in the center will become weak, and Li Kang will have the opportunity to launch a heavy attack.
If Arsenal supplements the defensive thickness in the middle, then Bellarabi and Son Heung-min on the wings will create explosive threats.
If Arsenal resumes their opening play, Leverkusen will instantly transfer the core of the play to Li Kang.
If Arsenal divides its forces and restricts Calhanoglu, who is trailing behind, from playing the ball, then...
The other side.
Bould almost wanted to shout "Dad" at Cech!
Wenger looked sad.
He saw through Top's tactics, but couldn't make up his mind.
passive.
Arsenal fell into passivity.
The root of all evil is the "Champions League away goal advantage principle".
Cech felt his hands were numb.
He hurriedly took off his gloves, and there was a shocking blush on the back of his hands.
I still have lingering fears: Fortunately, it is not a super heavy artillery with a straight line like Batistuta.
far away.
Li Kang's expression was calm.
He has seen highlights of Cech catching heavy shots with one hand.
He is the only goalkeeper who can make highlights when receiving heavy shots.
The game continues.
Arsenal increased the manpower to entangle Li Kang.
Bella Rabbi and Son Heung-min started a mad dash on the wing.
Bellerin and Monreal are full-backs with weak offense and defense during this period.
Without the premise of assisting defense, it is impossible to defend alone!
But once Arsenal stretches the defensive width and spreads their forces.
The middle road will be tested by Li Kang's heavy artillery.
Fortunately, Cech performed bravely! Repeatedly resisted and resolved the crisis.
"Leverkusen won't score if they win!"
"If we can return home with an away goal, the situation will be quite optimistic."
Calhanoglu is very happy.
He hasn't played so well for a long time!
Dragging behind the formation, there are two defensive midfielders beside him to protect him.
No one interferes, unscrupulous scheduling, just like practicing passing!
The true core of Leverkusen has to be me!
Vaguely, I heard the fans chanting my name.
He couldn't help but tremble.
The game soon entered its final stage.
Seeing the disciples struggling to hold on, the goal was in danger.
Wenger finally made up his mind.
Boulder rushed to the sidelines and roared loudly!
After making the gesture, his arm pointed hard at Calhanoglu!
After a while.
The King of Chaqiu suddenly realized something was wrong.
This familiar feeling?
It's hostility!
The ball must be passed quickly!
He hasn't finished adjusting yet!
The stocky big muscle tyrant Sanchez rushes over!
The thick bronze thighs carry a thundering force!
Calhanoglu looked frightened and turned sideways to protect the ball!
Boom!
The ending is still painful!
The football was stabbed behind him!
bodyguard?
Where are my two bodyguards?
"Danger!"
"Cazorla, Giroud and Ramsey are very fast!"
"Let's see if Arsenal can win the ball!"
"Fortunately! Kramer's movement choices are very smart! His behavioral tendency is to grab the second penalty!"
Kramer had no time to control the ball and quickly pushed it to Jonathan Tower who was trailing behind the defense!
The defensive ability of Leverkusen's central defender is very good compared to the powerful teams!
But his ability to play the ball is top notch!
The coaching staff's shouts echoed in my ears: "Pass to Lee!"
The not very smart German guy subconsciously showed off his long legs!
Boom!
Football is like a cannonball!
Rushing over the Emirates Stadium!
Howling and falling towards Arsenal's penalty area!
"pretty!"
"Put it in!"
"Four points of attack for Leverkusen!"
"Can you seize this opportunity?"
There was chaos in the Arsenal penalty area!
The ball speed is too fast!
In a short period of time, the players on both sides had no way to judge the placement!
From God's perspective.
Li Kang has mastered the trajectory of football!
He ran back in the penalty area and got rid of Cochran's personal entanglement again!
Everyone's eyes are fixed on the trajectory of the football!
The landing point is not a small restricted area!
But on the right side of the penalty area!
The moment the football hits the ground.
Li Kang's figure appeared.
Snapped!
Golden's left foot was unable to steadily stop such a long-distance high-altitude ball.
The football bounced in front of him!
In the field of vision, the figure of No. 7 in white suddenly appeared.
Raul.
The power of the "Seal the Throat with One Sword" module does not lie in the improvement of shooting accuracy.
It lies in the connection between catching the ball and shooting.
Old Man Top couldn't help but raise his arms and shout!
Wenger covered his forehead in confusion!
Arsenal's penalty area was in turmoil.
Defenders try to block it.
It's too late!
The ball left the Leverkusen number 10's left foot.
Fly to the gates of Arsenal!
At the moment of lightning.
Cech could not see clearly the change in Li Kang's foot shape.
The golden left foot combined with the Raul module has extremely high shooting concealment!
In the Arsenal goalkeeper's mind, Li Kang's shooting habits emerged: seven near corners and three far corners!
Correct answer: Choose the near corner!
The coaching staff of the Premier League is very sophisticated. They will use scientific methods to analyze the shooting habits of each opponent's player before the game.
But: I guess Li Kang himself doesn’t know his shooting habits!
There are no drastic changes in the heaven and earth visions.
Cech made the wrong decision.
Football lifts Arsenal's net!
2:2! ! !
Some lamented.
Someone was partying.
"pretty!"
"The goal went in!"
"At the end of the game! Young player Li Kang scored twice! Helping the team equalize the score!"
"Two precious away goals! Let Leverkusen take the initiative to advance!"
"Arsenal paid the price for conservative tactics!"
"Cech tried his best! The Premier League Golden Glove and Champions League champion goalkeeper finally made a mistake under the fierce offensive of Leverkusen's genius!"
"From 2:0 to 2:2! Leverkusen completed the redemption and brought the suspense of promotion back to North Rhine!"
Duan Xuan and He Wei couldn't help but want to slam the table!
At 2:0, they thought Leverkusen was finished!
What can we do to win against Arsenal?
Take Li Kang to win!
Studio.
The crazy barrage, like a rushing river, obscured the wonderful moment of the goal replay.
-
[Li Mingdeng explodes to the sky! He really won't lose! 】
-
[Cech can catch heavy artillery with one hand, but he can't stop the close attack! 】
-
[After Li Kang stops the ball, the action of connecting to the shot is so smooth, as if he doesn’t need to adjust. The concealment is also high! 】
-
[Talent, it’s true that the quality of the shot is not high, but the shooting adjustment speed is fast. Several mediocre shooters in history relied on this trick to make a living in the five major leagues! 】
-
[Do you think Leverkusen has advanced? The Bayer Arena’s Champions League winning rate is very low! Arsenal will find a way in the second round! Wilshere hasn't played yet! 】
Courtside.
Old Man Top waved his right fist! Ran around the bench.
Dino felt that there was too much information in this game and he needed to spend time digesting it with the coaching staff to prepare for the second round.
The other side.
Boulder pounded the turf angrily.
Wenger sighed deeply.
Arsenal's road to the top 16 of the Champions League is really bumpy.
Calhanoglu kept groaning while covering his feet, and was about to complain to the referee, but suddenly he heard bursts of cheers!
Scored a goal?
He quickly got up and ran towards the celebrating crowd!
Li Kang smiled at Jonathan Tower and gave a thumbs up.
The teammates shifted their targets and threw the latter to the ground.
Although Little Black Egg's defensive ability is not up to the level of the wealthy.
But central defenders with strong ball-playing ability are the trend in mainstream leagues.
Cech did not get up immediately and thumped the turf twice.
Cazorla fell into thought.
Sanchez had a complicated expression.
My mentality is a bit broken.
The Arsenal stars couldn't accept the change on the scoreboard for a while: the young midfielder from Leverkusen changed the direction of the game.
finally.
The referee blew the whistle to end the game.
Arsenal 2:2 Leverkusen!
The suspense of promotion will be revealed in the second round of North Rhine!
Wenger and Top shook hands and walked toward the passage together.
The stands at the Emirates Stadium.
Tens of thousands of fans did not leave the field immediately. They shouted their own cheering slogans and encouraged the players!
The taste of green orange bubble gum dissipates instantly.
Drowsiness swept over me.
Li Kang's figure was a little unsteady, and the noise in his ears gradually disappeared.
Everyone quickly supported him.
The teammates relaxed when they heard a faint snoring sound.
The situation was the same as after the last battle at Camp Nou. After a brief examination, the team doctor indicated that there was no problem.
"Li is too tired. He carries the team forward alone and never complains or blames his teammates. We must be self-disciplined! We cannot hold him back."
"Rooney introduced me to several places"
"."
Arsenal bench.
Wilshere put his coat back on, his expression showing no dissatisfaction.
North Rhine will soon face a life-or-death battle in the Champions League.
Fantasy football, don’t take it seriously.
Friendly reminder: The next chapter is about daily life, readers who mind, please skip it.
I wish you a nice weekend.
