What is a destructive midfielder?

Chapter 103 Cologne?It's the North Rhine derby again!

After returning to Leverkusen.

Li Kang didn't watch the game video, but took the time to train.

How to play Arsenal?
The famous Premier League coaches gave the answer, just copy the homework back.

Especially Southampton, their coaching staff's tactical analysis is the most professional, and they don't have too high requirements for players' abilities.

If the homework cannot be copied.

That shows that Arsenal in this period is invincible.

Wenger's tactical framework has not changed much in recent years, but the characteristics of the players are very distinctive. Both Sanchez and Cazorla have the ability to change the game.

Especially Sanchez, his body is super strong, and his center of gravity is much, much lower than himself.

There is still some time before the 1/8 knockout round.

Leverkusen still has to face the test of the league.

Four days later.

Bundesliga match day is upon us.

Leverkusen will face consecutive away games.

The opponent in the ninth round is the sworn enemy of the North Rhine - Cologne!

In recent years, the friction between the two teams has been extremely frequent and intensified.

In the 2009 World Cup qualifiers, "Prince of Cologne" Podolski slapped Ballack in the face!Let the German team lose face in front of the whole world.

Back then Ballack was still the soul of Leverkusen.

In the Rhine Derby in 2010, the Cologne players returned to the locker room after the game and found that their belongings had been looted. They thought the thief was a Leverkusen fan!
In 2012, a Leverkusen player was beaten up by Cologne fans while experiencing the customs in downtown Cologne.

Too many off-court frictions.

Every time the two clubs meet again, the conflict on the pitch is particularly intense!
On the training ground.

Dino just finished reading the starting roster.

He pulled the old man Top aside and said in a low voice:
"Boss! After discussion, the coaching staff agreed that in this game, Li should be protected! Let Charhanoglu start!"

"Well, you're right."

Dino hesitated for a moment, and continued to ask: "Boss, Cologne's offense is very strong this season. They have signed a very efficient striker - Modeste! If the situation is not right."

The old man Top waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, I will send Li out."

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Kang and his teammates took the club bus to Cologne.

The distance between the two clubs is about 20 kilometers.

The drive is short.

Most of the teammates are resting their eyes with their eyes closed.

Calhanoglu grabbed the coaching staff and kept discussing tactical details.

Although he has many flaws, when he is the core of the midfielder, his pre-match preparations are still very positive.

"Cologne's defensive details are much better than Dortmund's. They are aware of the weakness of their defenders who turn slowly, so the defensive line is arranged at the back!"

"The distance between the midfield line and the back line is very short, we can't penetrate through the middle!"

"But don't worry everyone, I will defeat them!"

Dino was a little dazed. He felt that the other party had said a lot, but it seemed like he hadn't said anything.

Calhanoglu returned to his seat.

Looking out of the window at the incomparably magnificent Cologne Twin Towers Cathedral.

Can't help clenching his fists secretly.

I will be on the west bank of the North Rhine, phoenix nirvana!
When the bus reaches the urban area, the speed gradually slows down.

Li Kang looked curiously at the ragged people on the street, including old people and children.

Teammates also cannot imagine such a rich city, and such an embarrassing scene.

Cramer said: "They are not residents here. In September this year, there was an influx of 10,000+ people from the North Rhine."

Haverts frowned and interrupted: "It's not 10,000+, but hundreds of thousands. Anyway, my family said don't run around in the near future and pay more attention to safety."

Brant patted his chest: "The safest place is the dormitory. There are more than a dozen security guards with electric batons!"

Everyone laughed.

"Bayer Group and Leverkusen are the safest places in North Rhine!"

The club bus slowly drove into the Rhine Energy Stadium.

The stadium has been rebuilt to Premier League standards.

The style is very close to Old Trafford.

"Damn, what smells so stinky?"

"Boss! It's sheep dung, I let go of sheep when I was young!"

As soon as everyone got out of the car, they saw the staff of Cologne passing by leading a ram in a red vest.

The mascot of Cologne is not a cartoon doll, but a live goat named Hennes VIII. He is nine years old this year and lives a more comfortable life than humans. The club bought several female goats to accompany him.

Leverkusen's mascot is the lion Brian. In the 50s, a senior club executive proposed to buy a live lion. The proposal was not passed due to the intervention of the Bayer Group.

Pre-match press conference.

A reporter asked: "Mr. Top, I am a reporter from "Ruhr News". You have not allowed Li Kang to enter the starting lineup for two consecutive games! Is it because of the transfer during the winter break?"

Old man Top's face darkened, he hated such provocative questions the most.

"I haven't heard any news about his transfer during the winter break. It's a rumor! Li is only 17 years old this year. The club should pay attention to his protection. Messi was also seriously injured when he played for the first team of Barcelona at the age of 17!"

"What do you mean? I didn't compare Lee to Messi, you nonsense reporters!"

"In the next round, Li will return to the starting lineup, and the coaching staff will arrange everything, so you don't need to worry about toilet paper newspapers!"

the other side.

Cologne coach Stogel is praising his super striker.

"Modste has the strength to compete for the Bundesliga Golden Boot!"

"He is the most comprehensive striker I have ever seen!"

"Leverkusen will see how terrible he is!"

Rhein Energy Stadium.

The stands on all sides were filled with restless and violent atmosphere.

Countless scarlet extreme slogans were held up high!

Fireworks lit up from time to time, accompanied by all kinds of angry and cursing, showed the welcome of the Cologne fans to the sworn enemy!

"Hennes VIII" walked around the field, like a king inspecting his own territory.

Inside the player tunnel.

The Cologne players are all vicious.

Calhanoglu was stared a little hairy.

Last season, he led Leverkusen to a 5:1 bloodbath at home to Cologne.

But now the opponent's lineup has undergone a major change!

Why do you still hate yourself so much?
Rabbi Bella tightly shut her mouth. His trash talk also had to be picked on.

Either Alves is a famous star who pays attention to his face!

Either the skinny teenagers like Lingard and Weigel!
Forget about the villains in Cologne.

"CTV5! CTV5! Good evening, viewers!"

"Welcome to the ninth round of the 2015/16 Bundesliga season!"

"Cologne vs Leverkusen at home!"

"It's a hot North Rhine derby!"

"I am the commentator for this match, Duan Xuan!"

"Let's introduce you to the starting rosters of both teams!"

"Wearing white jersey, Cologne formed a 4-4-2 lineup!"

"Goalkeeper: Horn!"

"Left back: Rise!"

"Central defenders: Heinz, Marlowe!"

"Right back: Hector!"

"Double defensive midfielders: Vogt, Nagasawa Kazuki!"

"Midfielders: Bittencourt, Yuya Osako!"

"Forwards: Modeste, Hosine!"
