Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Cruyff sat in front of the TV, surrounded by a bunch of legendary Ajax players.
A fireplace warms the large living room.
He said with a pure accent from the suburbs of Amsterdam: "Have you seen the first round of the game? Mr. Michelov and Mr. Reynolds and I inherited his football philosophy!"
"Look at this goal! His 17 is as fast as mine! Yeah! And balanced on both feet! Bounce!"
As he spoke, his shoulders began to shrug.
The word order is confusing!
This is a sign of getting sick again!
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Van Gaal was sitting in the corner with a disdainful expression on his face. The two had been quarreling with each other for many years, but they were both products of Ajax's youth training, so they still managed to get together occasionally.
What disease do you have?
When Cruyff was a player, he was once considered to have a serious mental illness, which made Michels scratch his head and spend a lot of money to see several doctors.
To this day, old friends still believe that his psychological problems have not been cured.
The signature move is the crazy shrug!
Rijkaard covered his forehead and repeated the classic saying of the last century: "Maradona can win with his own talent alone, and Mr. Cruyff can win by changing the team's tactics."
Bergkamp quickly added: "Yes! That kid is just like a teacher!"
Cruyff's shoulders stopped shaking and he nodded with satisfaction: "Who can advance?"
Everyone hesitated for a moment and said in unison: "Leverkusen."
Bernabeu training base.
Real Madrid stars concluded their tactical meeting.
Bell packed his backpack in a hurry, his mind already flying to the golf course.
Modric patted him on the shoulder.
"Luka, what's wrong with you calling me? This is not Tottenham. We don't need to discuss the details. Wolfsburg has no ability to make a comeback."
That's what it says.
Bale still stopped and took Modric's scratch paper.
He has excellent academic performance and came from the Southampton youth academy, which has the most advanced tactical education. After a quick glance, he understood the intentions of his old teammates.
"I've seen it! No problem, see you tomorrow. Huh? Which team do you want to meet in the quarter-finals?"
Modric thought for a moment and smiled: "Leverkusen."
Bayer Arena.
Li Kang symbolically raised his hand in celebration, which made many Leverkusen fans cry with joy!
West Germans are easily infected by big scenes, otherwise they would not have contributed to the rise of the Third Reich!
Havertz stepped forward in confusion and asked doubtfully: "Li, I got an assist in the Champions League? The scoreboard! It really counts on me!"
The teammates laughed.
There was no celebration for too long, and the referee urged everyone to return to their positions quickly.
The coaching staff finally discussed the result: "Boss! We think"
Old man Top blurted out: "Shou! Let Havertz pester Wilshere!"
Dino suddenly realized: "The two of them also have an unparalleled sense of space and rhythm changes when holding the ball!"
The circle reopens during the race.
The number of people pressing in the frontcourt of Leverkusen has been greatly reduced.
While maintaining the formation retreat.
Havertz is in hot pursuit of Wilshere.
No tackling action.
No deliberate interception.
It's simply sticky, hindering the opponent's ball speed.
After several conversations.
Wilshere was a little annoyed.
He couldn't get rid of the 16-year-old.
You can't fight with your body alone.
I don’t understand what the German children eat these days. They are much taller than me!
"Haverts may not have much effect if he marks other people!"
"It just happened to be Wilshere."
"The rhythm of holding the ball is very similar between the two! No one can fool the other!"
"Duizi tactics! Tian Ji's horse racing!"
"Leverkusen gave up the counterattack point in the frontcourt! During this period, it will turn into a positional battle again!"
In fact, Havertz in his infancy is not suitable to serve as a frontcourt counterattack point.
Son Heung-min's injury has greatly reduced the team's overall counterattack efficiency, and even lost its breaking point.
After Leverkusen took the lead, they had no choice but to defend.
After Wilshere handed over the tandem work to Cazorla.
Arsenal's forward speed was not greatly affected.
But when they advanced to the thirty-meter area, they encountered a problem.
There is no way to increase the speed of passing and cutting!
Havertz didn't care about the distance between his positions and stuck to Wilshere.
"The restricted British Emperor Star is far inferior to Ramsey in the first round!"
"Arsenal's passing system not only loses a playmaker, but also loses a passing point for the frontcourt attack!"
After receiving a pass from a teammate again.
Cazorla decided to do it himself and tear apart Leverkusen's midfield defense first!
Facing Kramer's interception!
His body swayed and moved to the left!
Forced Leverkusen's midfielder to make a steal!
in a blink.
Cazorla pushed with the inside of his left foot!
The football rolls to the right!
Cleverly avoid Kramer's long legs.
Another gentle push with your right foot!
When people pass, so does the ball!
Only a confused Kramer was left!
Arsenal fans burst into applause.
“Excellent!”
"Iniesta's signature skill: fried balls!"
"Cazorla said that I can do this trick, and I have a different style of balancing my feet!"
The shock brought to the audience by “Fried Meatballs” has not stopped yet.
Cazorla has touched the ball again, trying to speed up!
It’s not about running speed!
But the speed of passing the ball!
The offensive movements of all frontcourt teammates are already under control!
He is the shooter's gearbox!
Arsenal's passing and cutting will strangle Leverkusen's defense!
carry!
Leverkusen's No. 10 blocked him in time.
Been waiting for a long time.
Against top players who are balanced on both feet, Eye of Truth is less effective.
Because their center of gravity changes so quickly!
What Li Kang was waiting for was Cazor's first touch after passing the ball!
Boom!
I couldn't see clearly what happened between the two of them.
The football lifted off the ground and flew out of the center circle!
Cazorla helplessly spread his hands towards his teammates.
"Li Kang's big-footed clearance is crucial! He destroyed the starting point of the passing attack!"
"It's a pity that all Arsenal's frontcourt players are already running!"
"It is unimaginable that a young midfielder from the Bundesliga can have a strategic thinking comparable to Xavi and Pirlo!"
Duan Xuan and He Wei still made sufficient preparations for the materials.
After the first round, most sports media made detailed analysis of the game.
They came to the same conclusion: The key to Leverkusen's ability to score two goals in a row lay in Li Kang's changes to the overall tactics!
I also specially dug out the thermal imaging pictures of all Leverkusen games this season.
"Superstars can gain advantages based on their personal abilities alone, and Li Kang can reverse the situation by changing the team's tactics. 》
Any sports media that doesn't praise Li Kang would be unprofessional.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Arsenal's two playmakers were so entangled that they couldn't get the ball out quickly.
Havertz versus Wilshere.
Li Kangdui's son Cassola.
Leverkusen didn't want to score anymore.
The whole team retreated to the front of the penalty area.
Wenger has a headache. Very few people in the world can limit Wilshere and Cazorla.
It happened that I encountered two nemesis in Leverkusen.
"Boss, I suggest that Bellerin be given the task of organizing the connection."
"With Giroud's fulcrum and Sanchez's impact, we will definitely be able to do it."
"Damn it! He's from La Masia too! Why does Bellerin know how to pass the ball from high altitude!"
Bellerin was a little confused.
The La Masia thing can only be played if you return to the Spanish second team and cooperate with your teammates.
He believes that according to the current situation, kicking and passing is the most concise and efficient way of offense.
After Giroud was fucked by Kissling several times, his mood fluctuated greatly, and he was so anxious that he wanted to take off his pants again.
Sanchez put his hands on his hips and looked bitter. He was still thinking about advancing to the quarterfinals and meeting Barcelona to complete his revenge.
"Leverkusen's aerial defense is very strong! For two consecutive seasons, this team has only been hit by five jumping headers!"
"Brandt, the shortest player on the court, is 1.85 meters tall!"
"I can't figure out their team building ideas! But it worked wonders against Arsenal!"
Studio.
There are fewer and fewer barrages.
-
【What are you doing? Is Leverkusen really going to advance in an upset? The opponent is Arsenal! 】
-
[There is a saying in the art of war: one can make great progress, then it will weaken again, and three times it will be exhausted! According to the away goals favorable rules, Arsenal must score at least two goals to have a chance to advance. 】
-
[I feel sorry for Professor, even if I sell a few less, it won’t be so! 】
-
[Arsenal is in the top 16 of the Champions League every year, and the opponents they encounter are always so tough! Juventus is stable! It has to be the most stable giant team among the five major leagues! 】
Except for the goal shortly after the opening kickoff.
The rest of the game was unremarkable.
The emotions of the fans on both sides gradually returned to calm, and they secretly prayed to the gods of their respective beliefs.
Relevant research shows that when humans watch team sports, their beliefs can be very devout or they can become wavering.
Beep! Beep beep~
The referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half!
Dino sighed: "Boss, I really didn't expect the game to be so easy!"
Old Man Top was silent for a moment, gently stroking the crushed mineral water bottle with his weathered palm: "There are many outstanding midfielders on the Arsenal bench, and Wenger has many tricks."
"Can't relax! No one can predict what will happen in the next minute of the game."
"Football is round!"
