[Chelsea without a mole is truly fierce!]

-

[There are no moles, just the curse of changing coaches.]

-

[Li Kang + Kanté + Fàbregas, can they compare to Liverpool's midfield iron triangle "Gerrard, Alonso, Mascherano" of yesteryear?]

-

[It's a pity Matić left, otherwise Chelsea would have had a supermodel midfield iron triangle.]

-

[If Li Mingdeng hadn't joined and Conte hadn't left, Chelsea would probably have collapsed a bit this season. The midfield lacks control, and the front and back lines are disconnected. No matter how great the individuals are, they will be at a numerical disadvantage in local matchups.]

On the sidelines.

Enrique squeezed the mineral water bottle flat.

He desperately suppressed the urge to swear.

He waved to Xhaka and others, adjusted his emotions, and put on a gentle expression, saying:

"Calm down, even if we are one goal behind, we must stick to low-block defending."

"The goal was conceded because we were too aggressive. During the attack, the midfield pushed too far forward, and the ball was released too slowly."

"Don't rush, there is still plenty of time left in the match."

After saying that.

He glanced deeply at the Chelsea coaching bench, his eyes unable to suppress a hint of disdain.

Unable to suppress it.

The gap in coaching status.

Made him feel a surge in his heart: What level are you?

'I am the Barcelona "Five Crowns" coach.'

'What about you? German Cup champion coach.'

On the other side.

Tuchel felt the other's gaze.

Psychological warfare.

It must be psychological warfare.

He ignored it and called Rüdiger and David Luiz in front of him.

He said seriously:

"During the defensive phase, don't both lose your positions and rush forward at the same time!"

"Maintain spacing and maintain a good defensive structure!"

"If the opposition had one or two top-notch explosive players, our backline would have been breached three times already!"

"Don't think about others cleaning up your mess."

The little black egg and the afro were like primary school students being scolded by their teacher. Both of them were extremely aggressive defenders during this historical period.

What consequences would occur if two defenders lost their positions and rushed forward at the same time during the defensive phase?

You can refer to Germany 7:1 Brazil.

Afterwards, the Brazilian team learned its lesson: it sued all the local enterprises and local newspapers that mocked them and received hundreds of thousands of euros in compensation.

Dino stopped celebrating at this time and continued to take notes seriously.

'Tuchel is very controlling, but his strategic direction has no problems.'

VIP box.

Abramovich applauded with satisfaction.

"My requirements are not high."

"I'm not pursuing a double crown, just matching the goals conceded record of the 2004 Chelsea team will do."

A group of Chelsea officials looked at each other and turned their eyes to Čech.

In the 2004/05 season, Chelsea created a record of 24 Premier League clean sheets, conceding only 15 goals in 38 league games in a single season, and losing only one game.

It broke the Premier League records for highest points and fewest goals conceded in winning the title.

The goalkeeper that year was the peak, uninjured Čech.

Čech had to stand up and say, "Boss, let's pursue the double crown instead..."

The game resumed.

Arsenal players worked hard to implement Enrique's tactical deployment.

During the attack, the three lines of formation were spread out.

The front and midfield lines maintained a distance of about 10 meters on both sides to increase the passing requirements for their own players and reduce the intensity of Chelsea's strangulation.

Tilt ball possession towards the wings, do this and then that.

It didn't have much effect.

Li Kang and Fàbregas were too familiar with this style of play. How should Enrique's attacking deployment be described? This guy came to Arsenal and is still clinging to Guardiola's Barcelona and Bielsa's Barcelona. He might even cling to it until 2022.

Thus.

Arsenal's beautiful and smooth attack was repeatedly interrupted.

"Oh dear!"

"Li Kang disrupted the Gunners' attack!"

"..."

"Kanté's clean tackle!"

"..."

"Cahill's positioning is very refined, he blocked Aubameyang's position in time, and Courtois has no pressure."

"..."

"Lacazette retreats and receives the ball with his back to the goal, ah, he can't turn around!"

Time passed by.

Chelsea's midfield interception made Xhaka, Ramsey and others feel a little desperate.

Gradually.

With the change of Tuchel's gestures, the Blues no longer insisted on quick counterattacks, but slowed down the rhythm slightly and firmly pressed Arsenal into the penalty area.

"Siege!"

"A role reversal after many years!"

"Aggressive Chelsea, pragmatic Arsenal."

On the sidelines.

Dino put away his notebook and said, "Boss, at this stage, Fàbregas' role is not obvious enough."

Tuchel nodded, unscrewed a bottle of water, and took a sip:

"Wait a little longer."

"That kid can unleash Li's attacking ability during the positional warfare phase."

"No, if we lose possession, our high defensive line will be under a lot of pressure."

"Let's try Bakayoko in the second half."

In the past, his substitutions were irregular.

It even caused inconsistent post-match comments from fans: Trash, stupid substitution / Famous coach, godlike substitution.

Arsenal's defensive line is under great pressure.

In the past, when playing against Chelsea, they only needed to concentrate their defensive strength to limit one "pass, stop, dribble

"Most people's highlights are one-on-one, only Hazard, Messi and Lingard's highlights most commonly feature one-on-many!"

"Small steps."

"Simple breakthrough moves, weird rhythm."

"Too flexible!"

"Zhaqiu Wang (Ball King)!"

The cheers of the Chelsea fans enveloped the entire Wembley Stadium.

Hazard twisted his big butt, standing amidst the red and white crowd.

The moment he approached the edge of the arc.

Pa!

The football left his left foot and rolled towards Fàbregas diagonally behind him.

The distance between the two was very, very close.

Another pa sound.

Chelsea's No. 4 touched the ball with one foot!

The camera followed the light trajectory and moved to the left side of Arsenal's penalty area.

"Perfect chip pass!"

"Arsenal's captain tore apart Arsenal's defense!"

"Li Kang!!!"

Two phantoms appeared in Li Kang's vision at the same time.

Red and black number nine.

Black and white number ten.

Inzaghi firsttouch.

Del Piero zone.

The football fell.

Time seemed to slow down several times.

Li Kang spread his arms to prevent Mustafi from getting close.

Adjusted two steps.

Raised his left foot.

The impeccable volley posture.

Made the 90,000 spectators in the stadium hold their breath.

Here it comes.

Divine power!

Accompanied by a crisp sound.

A beautiful arc was outlined in the sky above Arsenal's penalty area.

Ospina did his best, the orange gloves... couldn't reach the violently spinning football!

0:2!!!

"Beautiful!"

"Goal!"

"Li Kang Zone!"

"No-stop, volley!"

"A freehand arc that combines strength and softness!"

"A stunning goal!"

"Li Kang scored his first official goal in his Chelsea career!"

"He is the brightest blue at Wembley Stadium!"

"Fàbregas' chip assist was equally brilliant! The connection between two La Masia geniuses!"

Fàbregas subconsciously wanted to celebrate. Before he could bounce a few steps, he saw Li Kang's gesture of refusing to celebrate.

His expression suddenly became complicated.

The bright Gunners badge on the stands was so dazzling.

On the sidelines.

Tuchel finally started celebrating and ran wildly towards Enrique's direction to celebrate.

Dino followed closely behind.

This provocative move caused Islington fans to swear.

Enrique was expressionless, dragging his chin, and lowering his head.

The past resurfaced again.

'Sell ​​him.'

'He is suitable as a substitute for Rakitić'

Awkward.

The awkward feeling was like being slapped hard, or running naked in front of 90,000 people at Wembley Stadium.

Beep!

Beep~ Beep!

The referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

"Wonderful 45 minutes."

"Tuchel's Chelsea played a suffocating dominance!"

"Let's take a short break"

Kanté climbed on Li Kang's shoulders, raised his head, and excitedly reviewed the tacit understanding between the two.

Hazard glanced at the scoreboard, like a student looking forward to the school bell... Life without pressure is so happy.

The crowd bathed in the applause of the Chelsea fans.

Morata patted Rüdiger's head and said in an experienced tone: "Are you still adapting? The Premier League is just like this!"

Chelsea locker room.

Dino's tactical review was interrupted.

Tuchel moved the flag: "Our positional attack can be simpler, don't be afraid of losing possession, don't be afraid of not being able to play a complete attacking chain! Pass the ball to Li at the right time."

"Li at the arc position."

"Li on the left side of the penalty area."

"Li pulled to the wing."

"..."

"If Li restrains most of the opponent's defensive strength, then anyone can have the right to fire, only for this game."

"Don't think about anything else now, we will be in the positional attack phase for most of the second half!"

After saying that.

He called Bakayoko, the little black egg from Monaco, to the side. A few minutes later, he turned and walked towards Li Kang.

Li Kang was about to use his brain.

Tuchel had already instilled the midfield deployment for the second half into his brain.

Do this and then that!

"I will reduce your burden on the field"

Li Kang nodded seriously: In fact, the head coach did not assign him any tasks.

The fifteen-minute half-time break ended quickly.

The referee team led both sides back to the green field.

Wembley Stadium, the noise rises again.

"Chelsea made the first substitution!"

"New aid - Bakayoko, replaces Fàbregas!"

"This is a position-for-position substitution."

"Just looking at his appearance, you can tell that he is a defensive midfielder."

"Black, strong and hard!"

"What kind of chemical reaction will this young Monaco midfielder have with Li Kang and Kanté?"

At this historical stage, Bakayoko is not yet a big muddlehead, Lin Daiyu, or has ball-less awareness worse than the national football team.

Last season, he was the main midfielder of Monaco's dark horse season.

People gave him the nickname: "Midfield Pogba", "Midfield Li Kang", "King of Melee".

Beep!

Accompanied by the referee's whistle.

Chelsea's possession.

Morata kicks off and passes back to Li Kang.

The football is passed quickly.

The blue torrent swept Arsenal's half in an instant.

Enrique's face was ashen, and he hurriedly waved his hand to signal the players to retreat and play a low-block defense!

"Bakayoko sits deep, liberating Kanté and David Luiz!"

"Li Kang receives the ball again, but does not pass to Willian!"

"Choose to break through himself!"

"Beautiful!"

"Crazy突突突(tu tu tu)!"

Li Kang wanted to pass the ball, but in Tuchel's second-half attacking deployment: there were too few support points nearby, and all the large-scale forces were squeezed in the frontcourt, spreading out the width of the attack.

No task is the most difficult task.

From the perspective of the optimal solution of rhythm, he can only choose to break through himself.

Purely using his body to knock open 厄大眼 (E Da Yan, could be a nickname, keeping pinyin since meaning is unclear).

Change direction and dribble past Ramsey.

High-speed牛尾巴 (niu wei ba, "cow tail," a football dribbling technique) breaks through Xhaka head-on.

Solo attack!

The brain shadow spreads to the extreme.

The energy of the whole body is squeezed out.

It's like a towel full of water, rolled into a strip, and then twisted hard!

Muscle memory and center of gravity adjustment reached their peak.

Pa pa pa!

Applause like a tide.

Chelsea fans like this style of play.

Abramovich in the box also likes it.

The genius midfielder on the green field is the brightest blue.

Dino glanced at the smiling Tuchel:

"Boss, you call this reducing the burden?"

"Yes, reduce the defensive burden and release Li's attacking ability!"

"This is the charm of a top midfielder."

Dino carefully observed the formation in progress, and breathed a sigh of relief: The number of people on the high defensive line is not small.

The theme of the second half was indeed accurately predicted by Tuchel.

Positional warfare occupied most of the game time.

Li Kang didn't have many opportunities to rush wildly in the middle.

Walking back to recover blood, saving energy.

Chelsea pressed Arsenal into the penalty area for most of the time.

Bakayoko's squatting, Kanté's second-point sweeping, and chasing back.

The black, strong, and hard combination of one static and one dynamic ensures the stability of the high defensive line.

Let Rüdiger and David Luiz, two defenders with strong offensive desires, be able to take turns to insert themselves.

Allows Li Kang to continue to be active in the area behind the front line.

Under the restraint of Morata, Hazard, and Willian's three-man run, Wembley Stadium set off a suffocating blue storm.

Off-camera.

Courtois can only follow the fans and make celebratory gestures with his arms raised.

Finally.

Beep! Beep beep~

The referee blew the whistle to end the game.

Arsenal 0:5 Chelsea.

Enrique slumped in the coaching seat, and the Islington fans' scolding kept echoing in his ears:

"Get out of class!!!"

"Enrique, get out!!!"

"Go back to Barcelona!!!"

Go back to Barcelona?

Can't go back.

Because of the strong resistance from Barcelona players, all the confidant assistants he left in Barcelona were also purged by the club.

Tuchel rushed onto the green field and hugged Li Kang tightly.

"2017 Community Shield Champion, Chelsea!"
