What is a destructive midfielder?

Chapter 132 New Year's Day in North Rhine (everyday, be careful)

The New Year customs in North Rhine are somewhat similar to the Spring Festival in Longguo.

On the evening of December 12, firecrackers were fired, and the gorgeous fireworks pierced the night sky.

The staff of Leverkusen beat drums and bells around the club, which means to drive away demons and ghosts.

On the training ground.

Teacher Belemta secretly took out a double-barreled shotgun from his bag, unbolted it, loaded it with ammunition, and threw it to Li Kang.

"Let's fire a cannon into the sky! This is the custom in my hometown, don't be nervous."

Not finished.

Li Kang pulled the trigger!
Bah!
The gunfire was quickly drowned out by the sound of firecrackers and fireworks.

There was a choking smell of gunpowder in the air.

Teacher Belemta quickly helped Li Kang, who was knocked down by the recoil, and said with a smile, "The thing I was looking forward to the most when I was a child was to have a good time on New Year's Eve!"

There is a fir tree and a horizontal tree in the club canteen, and the leaves are full of silk flowers.

After dinner, Worrall reached into his coat pocket and took out a stack of thick envelopes.

"Happy New Year!"

Everyone took the envelope expectantly, opened it quietly, and inside were pieces of euro banknotes.

This custom is exactly the same as the Spring Festival red envelopes.

The little assistant put his hands together: "Thank God for giving us"

suddenly.

There was a loud noise coming from the TV, it was an emergency news break!
In the city of Cologne, twenty miles away from the club, many ragged goblins appeared!

Teacher Belemta clenched the double-barreled shotgun in his hand, and murmured: "God has dozed off."

The security guards didn't have time to wipe their mouths, so they scattered to the various entrances and exits of the club.

Worrell lit a cigar and said with a smile: "It seems that I can only spend the New Year at the club tonight."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The atmosphere of the New Year is too harmonious, and the heaviness brought about by the Goblin incident is fleeting.

According to custom, everyone will gather together and stay until midnight.

Li Kang glanced at his phone, most of them were New Year greeting messages from the national team and club teammates.

Old man Top said his car was smashed.

Cramer said the home was hit by burglars.

Brandt said the pork sausage was robbed.

Haverts said he caught two goblins.

As midnight approaches.

Waller led the crowd and stepped on the chairs.

The clock struck twelve.

Everyone jumped down one after another.

This New Year's custom is a bit weird, and the moral is: throw off the disasters of last year and jump into the new year.

On January 1, the chaos in the North Rhine completely subsided.

The little assistant took Li Kang and several boxes of club souvenirs, and went to Veltins to pay New Year's greetings.

After all, the other party has paid too much for the endorsement fee in the past half a year, and it has to go through it formally.

It was cold and bitter.

A commercial vehicle with the Leverkusen team logo was driving on the snow-capped mountain road.

"Li, the director doesn't let you accept too many endorsements. There are many reasons."

Li Kang nodded, expressing his understanding.

Young players are different from stars, the most important task is to play well.

The tablet is replaying the 1/8 knockout match: Benfica VS Juventus.

It has to be said that there are no underdogs in the Champions League.

Benfica's strength is terrifying. If it weren't for the help of the crossbar, they would have almost overtaken and reversed.

As for Juventus, the Old Lady is no longer the strong team that broke into the top of Europe last year. They are in a throes of failure: Pirlo left for the United States, Pogba is alone, and Morata is weak when he is weak , Dybala is immature, Cuadrado likes to play tricks, and Marchisio is easy to go crazy.
It all depends on the defense team composed of Buffon, Chiellini, Barzagli, and Bonucci.

Fortunately, at the last moment of the game, Chiellini scored with a header, completely killing the suspense of promotion.

Li Kang couldn't help thinking, if he were the sports director of Juventus, which players should he buy to solve the problem
unconsciously.

The commercial vehicle drove into the ancient town of Veltins.

The snow is dotted with wooden houses and sculptures, and the surface of the fountain is covered with ice.

Ms. Sandra gave each of Li Kang and his assistant an envelope. According to the thickness and width, it could be judged that there was a lot of money inside.

The custom of New Year's greetings in North Rhine is a bit long.

The little assistant had a lively chat with Veltins' staff.

Li Kang pushed Claudia's wheelchair around the ancient town.

He has already learned the street map by heart, and he will never get lost again.

Although the two have reached the legal age of marriage in Germany, the content and behavior of the communication did not exceed the half point.

It's nothing more than the woman talking, and the man nodding or shaking his head from time to time.

Gradually, the cold wind blows on the body, and it is not so cold anymore.

Until night falls.

Just said goodbye.

time flies.

In a blink of an eye, the Bundesliga winter break is coming to an end.

Van Dijk came to the Leverkusen club. After the physical examination, he followed the staff to the training base.

After all, he is still an unknown young defender. Even if the club wants to hold a welcome ceremony, not many fans will come to the scene.

Although Li Kang’s joining ceremony only cost a few thousand euros and invited many extras, Wöller was not willing to spend money on the Dutch.

Van Dijk looked at Leverkusen's training facilities with a relieved expression.

He originally thought that this mid-to-upper Bundesliga club would be poor, but of course it was far behind Southampton.

But deep down, I also cherish this loan opportunity.

We must perform well and strive for the Champions League.
Bah!
Bah!
Bah!
A series of violent explosions stimulated everyone's ears!

The little assistant looked at his watch and explained with a smile: "Li comes to the training ground every morning, but in order not to affect the work and rest of the staff, he only starts shooting at ten o'clock in the morning."

Van Dijk was a little unbelievable. He tentatively asked: "He didn't go on vacation during the whole winter break?"

The little assistant shook his head.

The Dutch central defender was inexplicably fed a bowl of chicken soup:
Li Kang is a famous superstar in Europe, shouldn't he go to Dubai to enjoy a warm sunbath during the winter break?

On arrival at the training ground.

Worrell stopped suddenly and said, "Go get Lee's ball!"

Van Dyke nodded seriously, and rushed to the training ground excitedly!
Li Kang was a little surprised.

Step on the ball with your left foot.

After the Dutch central defender got close, he didn't have any tendency to steal.

The gaze is not fixed on the football, but on the opponent's eyes.

One-on-one offensive and defensive drills have begun!

Li Kang advances with the ball!

Van Dyke kept a certain distance and started to back away!

Worrell frowned and praised: "Very cautious, he is observing Li's rhythm changes and stride rate, waiting for the opportunity to shoot! The distance between the body and the body just seals the space for Li to shoot the ball."

"The speed of retreat is very fast!"

Dino couldn't help but exclaimed: "His defensive awareness is perfect! Let Li fall into a passive position, and he can't easily get rid of it. His nickname in the Eredivisie period was ""

After a few seconds.

Li Kang stopped the ball again!

Van Dyke made a decisive move!
It's now!

Snapped!
Perfect steal!

Look down.

I found myself standing outside the bottom line.

Everyone's face was black.

Waller spread his hands, turned and left.

Dino shook his head helplessly, that's only half of the fucking praise!

The little assistant asked: "What is his nickname in the Eredivisie?"

"Receding central defender!"

With an embarrassed expression on his face, Van Dyke extended his hand to apologize to Li Kang.

Then he hugged the ball back to the 30-meter area and signaled to start over.

sunset.

The two were conducting intense offensive and defensive drills again and again on the training ground.

Winter break is over.

All first team members are back!
Son Heung-min recovered from his injury.

Brandt gained weight.

The living room of Li Kang's dormitory is filled with many special products, such as kimchi and pork sausage.
Charhanoglu didn't bring back the whole roasted lamb, he put down a handmade carpet from Xingyue Kingdom.

On the training ground.

Filled with old man Top's roar: "Where's Papadopoulos? Where's our main central defender?"

Dino explained helplessly: "When he was celebrating the New Year in Greece, he stepped on moss and stones and sprained his ankle. Temporarily unable to train, but we still have Van Dijk!"

The old man Top was stunned for a moment, and then he patted his forehead, only to think of the Dutchman that the club had signed.

Then the whistle was blown.

Divide the first team members into two groups and start the scrims!

Four days later.

The Bundesliga has returned to the sight of the audience.

A great game day is coming.

Li Kang and his teammates boarded a plane to Northern Germany - Lower Saxony!
The world-famous Volkswagen headquarters!

Leverkusen will arrive away to challenge the Bundesliga powerhouse - Wolfsburg!
The standings and historical records of the middle and upper reaches of the Bundesliga in the past two years are completely waste paper without any reference!
Wolfsburg had De Bruyne last season, and the record was amazing!
It is simply the second overlord of the Bundesliga!
Leverkusen, Borussia, Schalke 04, etc. have suffered a lot!
The plane pierced through the thick clouds.

Landing at a corporate airport in the Brunswick area, few airlines will open routes here, mostly for private use.

Everyone walked out of the pick-up gate, and there was not even a cordon: because no fans would be able to enter this area.

After getting on the club bus.

Li Kang looked down at the map of the Wolfsburg area, looked at the majestic Cliff Hill, and had a general impression of several clubs in Lower Saxony.

Cramer put down the game console and said: "Wolfsburg was very strong last season, Xia Chuang sold a lot of stars! But they will not be easy to deal with! It is a hard nut to crack!"

Bender nodded: "Draxler is excellent. He is a talented midfielder with a different style from De Bruyne. There is also the former Bayern main defender-Dante!"

Wolfsburg can be said to be the nemesis of Leverkusen.

In every confrontation between the two teams in recent years, the outcome has no reference meaning, but there will never be a lack of goals.

Last season, they played a super big score of 4-5 and reversed each other crazily, making the fans of both sides want to take a quick-acting heart-saving pill!
two hours later.

The Leverkusen bus slowly entered the Volkswagen Arena.

The capacity of this stadium, compared with the Bayer Arena, can only be said to be half a catty.

It can only accommodate 3 spectators, and occasionally a large auto show is held!
But Wolfsburg's fan culture is much richer than that of Leverkusen, especially in the German Cup final last season. After they defeated Bayern Munich, the number of registered members ushered in a surge.

Green and white themed elements fill the underground parking lot!
The old man Top went to the press conference with ease.

On the way, they also patted the opponent's mascot - Wolf Wuffy!
Pre-match press conference.

Hei Jin enthusiastically held Old Man Top's hands.

The two are very related.

When he was a player, Hei Jin was a disciple of Old Man Top.

After obtaining the coaching certificate, his first job was as an assistant to the old man Top.

The reporters asked questions enthusiastically.

"Mr. Top, Leverkusen lost to Wolfsburg for two consecutive years! Are you confident that you will survive in the Volkswagen Arena today?"

"Mr. Heijin, can you beat this season's Bundesliga half-time champion?"

The answers of the two coaches were very consistent.

"We will win!"

Inside the player tunnel.

Players from both sides greeted each other warmly.

There is no hostility at the slightest point.

In the first two years, there may have been an atmosphere of life-and-death contest.

But now many players in the lineups of both sides have forged a deep friendship during the youth training period.

Draxler and Kramer have a very close relationship in private.

Another example: Schurrle and Kramer, two people are good friends along the way of the German national echelon,

Li Kang looked at the opponent's queue and found many familiar faces in the classic duel videos.

"CTV5! CTV5! Good evening, viewers!"

"Welcome to the No.2015 round of the 16/14 Bundesliga season!"

"Wolfsburg vs Leverkusen at home!"

"Every time the two clubs meet, they will dedicate a hearty battle to the audience!"

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

"I'm He Wei!"

"Let's introduce you to the starting lineups of both sides!"

"Wolfsburg's formation is 4-3-3!"

"Goalkeeper: Castels!"

"Right back: Trasch!"

"Centre-back: Dante with Knoch!"

"Left back: Rodriguez!"

"Single midfielder: Gustavo!"

"Central midfielders: Arnold, Gila Voji!"

"Forwards: Kruse, Draxler, Schurrle!"

Studio.

The audience was a little confused when they saw Wolfsburg's formation.
-
[Draxler playing center forward?Is the black gold broken?Don't mess around! 】
-
[It's normal, De Bruyne played in midfield last season, didn't he often rush to the front line! 】
-
[Draxler should be playing the false number nine!Pass back!Create space for midfield strangling!In short, it is right to have a strong attack power! 】
-
[Don't talk so much nonsense!This is a confrontation battle! 】
-
【I really miss Draxler under Magath!Black gold will not employ people! 】

"Leverkusen also formed a 4-3-3 formation!"

"Goalkeeper:"

"We see a new face! The Dutch central defender from the Premier League club - Southampton, Van Dijk!"

"He will replace Papadopoulos who cannot play in this game!"

"We look forward to the performance of Leverkusen's new defender!"
-
[What did Leverkusen buy!waste money!Wasn't Van Dijk's Euro qualifiers disaster enough? 】
-
[Reminder: The Dutch team may not be able to break into the 2016 European Cup! 】
-
[Correct, it's not buying, it's renting. I guess Fan Tuitui is better than Papadopoulos anyway!The intensity of the middle and upper reaches of the Bundesliga is not as strong as that of the Premier League. 】
-
[What happened to the transfer market?Why have excellent defensive players become more and more expensive in recent years?Even disappeared!We will never see such distinctive defensive superstars like Cannavaro, Maldini, Nesta, and Baresi again! 】
