Chapter 26 Audiences

The audience was a little confused.

Their focus was on the rolling soccer ball.

Boateng transformed into a heavy bulldozer, rampaging through Bayer Leverkusen's half.

Isn't this guy a center-back?

What is Guardiola doing?

What is Bayern playing?

...

In the stands.

Martinez and Thiago exchanged glances.

"This is a tactic that can only be executed when we are both on the field!"

"The boss is crazy!"

"Two center-backs move forward to participate in the attack, and Alonso is alone at the back of the formation. If Bayer Leverkusen intercepts the ball and breaks through, then everything is over!"

"That's not right, we lose whether we concede three goals or not! It's better to take a gamble and open up the situation!"

"It's okay, these idiots from Bayer Leverkusen didn't leave any counter-attacking players in the front!"

....

How dare they leave counter-attacking players.

Guardiola was playing on Bayer Leverkusen's "cowardice."

The situation on the field became passive.

But in reality, they had the initiative.

If they dared to leave counter-attacking players,

The number of defenders in the backfield would definitely be at a disadvantage.

Playing 9 against 9, Bayern could rub Bayer Leverkusen into the ground.

....

Bayer Leverkusen players were focused on the runs of other Bayern players.

They were a bit confused.

They couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the opponent's play.

It was still the same old routine they had been beaten with since they were kids.

It's just that the organizer has moved to the center-back position, which feels a bit unfamiliar.

The "man-to-man marking strategy" will soon lose its numerical advantage.

They were about to reveal their true colors.

If they switched back to zonal defense, the gap in individual strength would be infinitely magnified.

Bayer Leverkusen players were about to show their true colors in the offensive and defensive game!

"Faced with a worldwide hunt, Guardiola is also exploring the direction of offensive organization."

"The organizer has gone from central midfielder to defensive midfielder, then to full-back, and finally to center-back!"

"This is a difficult transformation experiment!"

....

Li Kang almost didn't react.

In God's perspective.

Lahm and Alaba returned to their normal wing positions, rushing forward at high speed.

Only Alonso was alone at the back of the formation.

Boateng and Benatia were madly charging in the center.

Relying on their strong individual strength, Bayern's superstars showed a very threatening all-out style of play.

Were there any weaknesses?

Yes.

But Guardiola didn't care.

As long as Bayern controlled the ball, they could cover up all the flaws.

...

On the sidelines.

Old man Toppmöller panicked; he had never seen such a battle.

In the distant "Treble Neverkusen" season, the Premier League was still playing long balls, and Serie A was still advocating defensive football...

At this time, the dazzling runs of Bayern players in the frontcourt mesmerized the old man.

A center-back bursting forward?

What is happening to this world?

Dino widened his eyes, not daring to miss every moment on the green field, nervously taking notes on the draft paper.

On the other side.

Guardiola's fingers fluttered, his expression exaggerated.

...

Even if the shadow in his brain spread to the extreme,

Li Kang didn't have time to make any deconstruction.

He could only use the information he controlled from God's perspective to direct his teammates to make the most basic runs.

The most old-fashioned way to defend in open play.

Bellarabi and Son Heung-min ran madly towards the flanks, their task was to cut off the passing connections between Boateng and the two full-backs, Lahm and Alaba.

Havertz retreated to the thirty-meter area, acting as a high point of defense.

Kramer turned to mark Robben, with the aim of freeing Li Kang.

The entire mid-to-front field could only do these few most basic and clumsy defensive tasks...

...

Boateng was very smart.

He was a center-back with balanced feet.

And he also had top-notch ball sense.

Combined with the precision of his touches shown in high-speed sprints.

It made the audience feel like they were seeing a red beast!

He broke through Bayer Leverkusen's backfield like a hot knife through butter!

"A combination of speed and power! The speed of the advance is too fast!"

"Vidal and Kimmich have given up their positions!"

"Look at the chemistry between Boateng and Lahm and Alaba!"

"Isn't he going to pass the ball yet?"

....

Pass the ball my ass.

Bayer Leverkusen used the most old-fashioned method to cut off the connection between Bayern's flanks and the center.

What was the viewing experience of the game shown by Li Kang and Guardiola's game at this time?

The answer is: very, very bad.

In the camera.

The audience watched helplessly as Boateng dribbled the ball all the way to the heart of Bayer Leverkusen's half!

No one stopped him.

"That's too casual, isn't it? Isn't Bayer Leverkusen going to intercept him?"

"Li Kang's command is very reasonable and safe. If the individuals can't win, the overall formation continues to retreat, while cutting off Boateng's passing options, and then waiting for the opportunity to steal the ball!"

"Hey! Why did Müller and Robben suddenly retreat!"

Bayer Leverkusen's defense was dumbfounded.

The retreat of Müller and Robben.

It was like a knife against the chest, suddenly withdrawn.

Boateng was like the hand holding the handle of the knife.

He was about to exert force.

He now had two passing options: Müller and Robben.

Other Bayern teammates were also madly stretching the defense.

As long as Bayer Leverkusen dared to chase back to mark them, they would expose more than two flaws.

Not mark them?

Then Boateng's passing options would become more and more.

A dead end!

It wouldn't be long before Bayer Leverkusen's defense would be completely broken!

....

In a moment of crisis.

The red and black soul suddenly appeared in Li Kang's vision.

Nesta.

Without a trace of elegance,

Frenzied and angry emotions spread wildly.

What exactly were the strengths of Milan's legendary center-back?

Was it his explosive body? Was it his flawless anticipation and interception? Was it his leaping-to-the-sky passing level? Was it his never-say-die iron-blooded consciousness?

No.

None of them.

It was a patch.

It was a historical-level ability to improve the defense of the entire team by one person.

Nesta's understanding of the enemy's direction of attack surpassed the era he was in.

He quickly passed on the most reasonable defensive idea to Li Kang.

'Give up on Robben and Müller, block Kimmich.'

'There, lies Guardiola's fatal pass.'

.....

Li Kang just rushed straight towards Kimmich, who had cut into the inside.

Guardiola clenched his fists excitedly.

Boateng slowed down slightly.

He was waiting, waiting for Lewandowski to run into space.

Yes.

He wasn't looking for Müller, he wasn't looking for Robben, and he wasn't looking for Kimmich.

As the most perfect center-back of this era.

Boateng also had the most top-notch vision and passing ability.

He was going to deliver the fatal pass himself!

...

The dynamic information from God's perspective quietly changed.

Li Kang's figure stopped abruptly.

He quickly sprinted back towards his own penalty area.

Nesta's phantom raged and became more and more ferocious.

Wrong!

Wrong!

There was nothing wrong.

Behind Li Kang, there was no Couto, no Mihajlović, no Stam, no Maldini, no Laursen, no Kaladze, no Bonera, no Thiago Silva...

There was only a group of weak defensive teammates that he couldn't carry!

No matter how strong the patch was, it wouldn't turn into a tiger if it was applied to a group of chickens!

He still had to do it himself!

...

Bang!

Boateng slammed a powerful shot!

The soccer ball rose from the ground.

Like a big mallet that smashed a watermelon.

It slammed heavily into Bayer Leverkusen's penalty area.

Yes!

The audience couldn't realize for a while how complex the offensive and defensive game was between the two teams.

The most gorgeous and complex offensive system, all the routines manifested on the green field... were so simple and crude.

"Lewandowski gets rid of Van Dijk!"

"Beautiful!"

"Head..."

Before he could finish speaking.

The moment Lewandowski was about to adjust his posture and score with a header.

A white figure leaped into the sky!

Li Kang!

A resounding sound in the sky!

...

Guardiola looked shocked.

He lost his balance and sat down on the grass.

He knew that he had lost this extremely simple offensive and defensive game with the most complex method.

Why?

Why was this happening?

Why was Li Kang able to see through the tendency of the fatal pass at the last moment?

...

"Li Kang's header clearance is too crucial!"

"Boateng's pass was good, Lewandowski's run was good, and Li Kang's defense was good!"

"Bayern's attack almost succeeded!"

The soccer ball flew quietly out of the baseline like a kite with a broken string!

Li Kang fell to the ground after landing and knocked down Lewandowski.

The two did not exchange any words, quickly got up, and prepared for the offensive and defensive of the corner kick.

The shadow in his brain gradually shrank.

He panted heavily, bent over, and pressed his hands on his knees.

Luckily...

Fortunately, Guardiola had too many ideas.

Fortunately, his football philosophy was incompatible with Bayern's superstars.

Even if Bayern followed the old routines left by Van Gaal and Heynckes, they could still kill Bayer Leverkusen with a frontal push.

But Guardiola's Bayern insisted on playing a high-end game!

It's like playing

Grünwald's infant cries.

Säbener Straße's lingering romance.

...

The spring breeze carried all living things.

It crossed half of Munich.

Finally, above the Allianz Arena, with a burst of roaring sound that resounded through the sky, it gradually dissipated.

Immediately afterwards.

The desperate exclamations of tens of thousands of people drowned out everything.

"Beautiful!"

"That ball went in!"

"An earth-shattering arc heavy artillery!"

"The North Rhine genius has once again broken through the gate guarded by the Munich goalkeeper!"

"The head of the Bundesliga giant is trampled under his feet!"

"18-year-old Li Kang, killed the game! Killed the suspense of the Bundesliga title! A perfect farewell performance!"

"Bayern Munich paid the most painful price for their aggressive and bizarre tactics!"

"Guardiola's final battle in charge of Bayern Munich is full of regrets!"
