Dear Gua
Chapter 142 He's Doing Problems
The BayArena was filled with thunderous drumbeats.
Bayer Leverkusen fans had bloodshot eyes, hysterically shouting the names of the North Rhine heroes.
"Lee!!!"
"Lee!!!"
"Lee!!!"
His teammates excitedly surrounded Li Kang.
The despair that had been suppressed in their hearts for a long time was annihilated by the devilish arc.
Çalhanoğlu faced the stands, arms wide open.
"Lee, we are the golden partner!"
"As long as you can run, I will pass...ah!"
Kramer pushed him down hard from behind, and everyone piled on top of him.
...
The little foal lay weakly on the grass, gradually blurring.
The braided shadow of the red and blue number 10 quietly turned around, pointing a finger at the forehead of Leverkusen's number 10.
As it dissipated with the wind, it smiled brightly.
Li Kang also smiled.
In his memory, there were a few more fragments: the duel between Barcelona's peak Dream Team II and Mourinho.
Not far away.
Courtois raised his water bottle, took a sip, and then slammed it heavily on the ground.
The Blues captain quickly stepped forward and touched his head.
The Chelsea goalkeeper at this time was emotionally unstable and needed to be coaxed.
Terry and Courtois had a good relationship.
The reason was definitely not: they both liked to cuckold their teammates.
....
At the edge of the field.
Old man Toppmöller ran wildly along the sideline, encouraging the fans in the nearby stands along the way.
Dino took a deep breath, waved his fist, and exclaimed, "Lee, he carried Leverkusen here all by himself!"
"Hero!"
"The hero of North Rhine!"
On the other side.
Hiddink trembled all over, secretly clenching his pocket.
"Damn it, this kid is simply a monster... a monster!"
"Mikel! Hurry up and warm up!"
"And Pedro, I want him to replace Terry!"
"What is Leverkusen relying on..."
The assistant coach quickly reminded him: "Boss, we are still leading, away goals rule!"
Hearing this sentence.
Hiddink took off his glasses, calmed his anger slightly, and smiled, "You're right..."
Damn it, he almost fainted.
How could he replace Terry with a forward?
Nonsense!
He couldn't direct like he did in the West Ham United game!
...
The referee urged the Leverkusen players to end their celebration quickly.
He inadvertently noticed that the goalscorer was missing from the crowd.
Where did that kid go?
Everyone looked around.
But they saw Li Kang picking up the football from Chelsea's net...
....
Camp Nou.
Robert angrily slammed the table: "Still struggling? Does he think he can advance by scoring a lucky goal against Chelsea?"
The Barcelona coach picked up the remote control, turned off the TV, and smiled confidently: "That's it, no need to waste time here. Whether we meet Chelsea or Leverkusen in the semi-finals, Barcelona is confident of defeating them."
Robert asked doubtfully, "What about Atletico Madrid..."
Enrique was full of confidence: "Simeone's defense is very strong. I have made the worst plan. Every Barcelona player has practiced penalty kicks 1000 times!"
...
Barcelona.
Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau.
Cruyff's eyes showed admiration, and he said decisively: "Even if Leverkusen loses, Lee will not lose."
Rulla hurriedly helped his teacher adjust his pillow, looked at the TV screen, and asked doubtfully: "Lee's position has moved back, and he is gesturing to his teammates. Could it be that he wants to..."
Cruyff weakly raised his hand:
"They can't win. He's solving a problem."
"A difficult problem that Mourinho left for the La Masia number 4 position."
....
BayArena.
Diego Costa and Oscar were a little uncomfortable.
Li Kang's position shifted back, to the defensive midfielder position in Leverkusen's formation.
The two simply couldn't steal the ball from his left foot.
The Chelsea striker wanted to play dirty, but he couldn't bring himself to.
This summer's European Cup, as a naturalized player, he had to stick with the little Chinese guy!
"Leverkusen probably wants to hold on to the draw."
"Li Kang and Kramer have switched positions."
"The pressure on the defense has been reduced a lot."
"The scene is a bit dull during this time."
...
From God's perspective.
Chelsea's formation changed quietly in the open play.
Three lines of defense with different functions were formed again.
The first line of defense was defined as: drag reduction.
Diego Costa himself was a "shit-stirring striker."
The perfectly transformed Oscar was also competent for this task.
After equalizing the score.
Li Kang was no longer in a hurry to attack.
Instead, he wanted to gradually understand the meaning of each line of defense.
Mourinho's second Chelsea period was not just a single "parking the bus."
...
54th minute of the game.
After running and pressing unsuccessfully, Diego Costa and Oscar were a little tired, subconsciously reducing their running and saving their energy.
After receiving a pass from Bender, Li Kang quickly dribbled the ball forward!
From God's perspective.
Chelsea's second line of defense was coming.
A layered "double sandwich."
The first layer was Willian and Hazard.
The second layer was Matić and Fàbregas.
The definition of this line of defense was: space tearing.
.....
Willian and Hazard charged towards Li Kang at the same time!
Çalhanoğlu and Kramer decisively supported!
Li Kang did not pass the ball to the two of them.
He flicked the ball with his heel, while running to the right wing.
Bender moved forward, met the football, and pushed it hard!
The football returned to Li Kang's feet again.
A simple two-pass play.
Made the audience confused.
Made both coaching teams confused.
....
Fàbregas instantly understood Li Kang's intention and immediately ran towards Azpilicueta.
Li Kang passed the ball back to the backcourt again.
Bender adjusted slightly and transferred the ball to Çalhanoğlu on the left.
Matić and Hazard immediately rushed over.
Willian quickly retreated to fill the gap.
"Mourinho's version of Little Luo," at this time had long been transformed to be able to play the defensive midfielder position.
...
Li Kang gestured to Brandt.
The latter decisively retreated.
Coincidentally.
The moment Çalhanoğlu received the ball, he found Brandt and hardly resolved the pressing of Matić and Hazard.
The fans in the four stands of the BayArena were a little drowsy.
The scene was too dull.
The only change was that Leverkusen's ball could pass the center circle.
...
At the edge of the field.
Old man Toppmöller murmured: "Through several tentative runs, Lee has found the answer to advance, but our players can't do this for a long time..."
Dino nodded seriously: "Chelsea's midfield defense is not mainly for steals, but for tearing space. No matter how Lee adjusts, he only takes away two players..."
"Chelsea always has two midfielders who can switch to the defensive midfielder role, while the players on the defense line are still steadily in place."
"On the contrary, our midfielders' running and transfer will become meaningless..."
Even the peak Dream Team II or Dream Team III's Xavi and Iniesta, their passing and control would become meaningless when facing Chelsea.
Not actively meaningless.
But passively meaningless.
Under the subtle influence of the opponent, they became "meaningless passing and control."
Under the subtle influence of the opponent, they became "passing for the sake of passing."
Mourinho's research on Barcelona was professional.
Of course, the Spanish national team after Xavi had actively meaningless passing and control...
On the other side.
Hiddink's face was flushed.
"Does this kid think the people around him are teammates from the Spanish national team? Where is Iniesta? Where is Busquets? Where is David Silva?"
"Leverkusen is playing with fire!"
...
70th minute of the game.
Çalhanoğlu's pass was intercepted by Matić!
The latter started to advance frantically!
Kramer quickly filled the gap to counter-press!
When Matić played in the Portuguese Super League, he was a top attacking midfielder!
Leverkusen's midfield defense was instantly shattered.
"Çalhanoğlu's pass was a mistake!"
"Chelsea's counterattack is coming!"
"Blue Storm!"
"Flanking from both sides... Willian hasn't returned yet!"
...
In the forty-meter area.
Matić slammed the outside of his foot!
The turf of the BayArena seemed to be cut by a scimitar!
The football bypassed Papadopoulos!
Hazard accelerated sharply!
Jonathan Tah didn't have time to turn around!
Van Dijk decisively gave up Diego Costa and retreated frantically!
Chelsea fans cheered wildly!
....
Just as Hazard was about to receive the ball.
Bang!
Leverkusen's number 10 kicked the ball out of bounds!
"What a close call!"
"Li Kang's timely return to defense!"
Leverkusen fans in the nearby stands breathed a sigh of relief, and applause thundered!
....
Li Kang's expression was calm.
He turned to look at Chelsea's backcourt.
He wanted to see the scenery of the third line of defense.
Mourinho was there, what definition did he leave behind?
....
Livestream.
Scattered barrages crossed the screen.
-【It's making me sleepy. When did Li Mingdeng learn hypnosis! The game is so boring without goals.】
-【Is there any need to watch Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, Juventus, and Paris Saint-Germain games? When you wake up, it's either 0:1 or 0:0, 1:1 at most!】
-【You have to believe in science. Statistical data: When Li Mingdeng is on the field, most of Leverkusen's goals occur in the last 15 minutes of the game! Steady!】
-【Wake up, don't deceive yourself, Ramsey's "Death Law" has failed.】
....
"At this time, we see Mikel standing on the sidelines!"
"Oh! He's going to replace Oscar!"
"Chelsea may change to playing with three defensive midfielders!"
"They want to maintain their away goal advantage!"
