What is a destructive midfielder?

Chapter 258 Poor Eindhoven (daily transition)
As October approaches, the nights in Eindhoven are a bit cold.

Coach Cocu was wearing a black windbreaker and brushed his hair from time to time.

When he was young, he was able to play all positions except goalkeeper, and he was at the top level of that era.

In the 1998 World Cup, the main force of the Dutch team was injured in turn. Cocu completed the switching of multiple positions such as full-back, midfielder, forward, and full-back throughout the tournament.

In the first season of joining Barcelona, ​​as a midfielder, he scored more goals than several main attackers in the team, including Figo.

Defense?

Offense is the best defense.

The PSV players on the field firmly implemented his football philosophy.

There is no such thing at all: in order to qualify, the idea of ​​​​deliberately sticking to narrowing the goal difference and eliminating Barcelona.

Eindhoven's current qualifying situation is much stronger than Barcelona.

"PSV are in the group of death, every opponent is strong."

0:4! ! !

The teaching assistant on the side looked a little anxious.

Where can the two Eredivisie central defenders stop him?

Koku didn't panic at all, everything was under his control.

"Advance on the right side like a rainbow!"

How else to attack?

Cocu walked back to the coach's bench, picked up a pen and paper, wrote and drew, lost in thought.

"The goal is scored!"

Li Kang advanced to the top of the arc in the penalty area. Cazorla fired.

Not mindless advancement.

Wenger nodded with a smile: "I didn't expect the goal to be so simple."

Eindhoven launched a fierce attack on the right from the beginning.

Subconsciously touched the zipper of the jacket.

They gathered together and kept discussing in low voices, gesticulating on the small tactical board, and quietly preparing for the technical and tactical analysis of the Premier League on the weekend.

The world is also studying the Arsenal No. 10:
If he appeared in the right half, how would he fight back?

"Which one is his dominant foot?"

"Li Kang's performance has made Arsenal's qualifying situation more and more loss of suspense."

"Nice wall-to-wall combination."

PSV Eindhoven's careful planning for the direction of attack. All came to naught.

In the first round of the Champions League, Monaco was blocked by Eindhoven in the midfield!In the end, the two sides ended in a draw.

You can only fight head-to-head with Arsenal.

Snapped.

Li Kang steadily controlled the rhythm of the game and gradually helped Arsenal take advantage of the scene.

It's not uncommon for forwards with both feet to be balanced and left and right.

side of the field.

"The qualifying situation is very clear!"

"PSV paid a heavy price for their impulsiveness!"

"Although a striker! But we see that he likes to go deep and build a close relationship with the midfielders!"

Koku looked puzzled.

The left foot will have the ball in the right half.

"Fluid!"

Not dirty.

Unfortunately, the career is too bumpy.

"Especially against Arsenal, our situation is much better than Barcelona. Didn't Manchester United also get slaughtered a few days ago?"

Many famous coaches are also good at this.

There is no need to consider the change of the defensive center of gravity of the formation.

"Observe again."

Eindhoven's counterattack formation suddenly stagnated.

Cocu went on and on, trying to explain the loss of the game:
"The performance of the players is okay, it is the responsibility of me and the coaching staff."

the other side.

Post-match press conference.

The coach of Eindhoven is very face-saving. He doesn't like any "logging" actions, which leads to the club's overall style of play is very clean.

"The Champions League is like this. Even if you are unimpeded in your own territory, you have to withstand the baptism of the styles of different league teams."

Eindhoven's central midfielders subconsciously moved to close the circle.

He joined Chelsea that year and was known as: "Lampard's successor". At the beginning of the new season, he experienced a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee. Nine months later, he returned from injury and his strength was far worse than before.

"Li Kang's right foot speed is so terrible!"

Wenger was overwhelmed.

He wished he was 10 years younger and put on the clothes himself.

This is a problem that many midfielders cannot avoid.

"Even in the face of a thriving arsenal, the Eredivisie overlord is not afraid at all"

right foot?

Cocu, with disheveled hair, frantically gesticulated with the players on the field.

Van Ginkel wants to prove himself in the Champions League.

"tacit agreement!"

The players on the bench stood up and pumped their fists in celebration.

Cazorla can because he has the most balanced feet.

Afterwards, he was loaned to many giants, but none of them got too many opportunities to perform.

After Zot resolved the danger, he quickly threw the ball forward.

There was a lot of booing.

The Eindhoven players were preparing to take advantage of Li Kang's back and sideways moves.

Eindhoven is a gentle and quiet city.

The situation between Maojian and Maimang gradually disappeared.

Lightly pick the instep.

"We seem to have seen the invincible arsenal in the early 21st century!"

"Facing double-teaming, he once again used a precise long pass to create a murderous intent!"

"Will it turn into a massacre?"

The other side.

"Can Eindhoven repeat what they did to Arsenal?"

"Directly created an attack!"

Media reporters actively asked questions.

0:1! ! !

The second round of the Champions League completely lost suspense.

Barrages are flying.
-
[Did Arsenal stop on purpose?The chance of the Europa League is not given to Barcelona? 】
-
[It is impossible to make a game because Eindhoven is more tenacious. They are not good at playing low defense. The reason is that the conversion attack is not well connected, which does not mean that the defense line is a funnel. 】
-
[This score can be regarded as a reflection of Arsenal's overall good condition. 】
-
[Don't talk about it, Arsenal's UEFA Champions League group stage is as fierce as a tiger every season. As soon as they reach the top [-].]
-
[If Li Mingdeng and Arsenal fail to win the Champions League this season, I will eat shit! 】
-
[Normally, Arsenal haven't met a truly evenly matched opponent for the time being. Leaving aside the Champions League knockout round, the remaining teams in the Premier League: Chelsea, Tottenham, and Manchester City haven't met yet. 】
-
[Playing the Hammers on the weekend, you must peel off the skin for Arsenal. Next week's London derby will face the mortal enemy-Tottenham! 】
-
[The next two rounds of matches are tough, they are tough battles, Arsenal's main lineup will definitely not avoid injuries. 】

"Boss, there is nothing wrong with our offensive and defensive lines, as long as we strengthen our counterattack."

Studio.

Jirou slapped his forehead, excitedly ran back to Li Kang, clapped his hands and hugged him!
"The French striker finally scored a goal! He used this ferocious header to announce to the audience that he is not a parallel importer!"

Li Kang, who crossed to the right midfielder, intercepted the ball easily.

But found that the trajectory of the football in mid-air was a bit wrong.

The fans here are not, the residents of the south of the Netherlands are notoriously aggressive.

"calm."

"Tactical change?"

"Congratulations Arsenal!"

"A diagonal pass from a wide angle!"

The gate of Eindhoven was blasted again!

I am afraid that Li will be injured, and I want Li to brush up the data
It is not a bad thing to brush data in low-intensity games.

Spinning and flying forward!

Security personnel evacuated spectators from all sides of the stands.

"A diagonal pass from a wide angle!"

"Pretty!"

Bah!
An arc world wave!

Philips Stadium.

This attack direction often has nothing to do with the opponent's weak side, and has nothing to do with the offensive characteristics of the players.

Modric can, because he has a unparalleled outside instep.

"Boss, I suggest that Dong Chuang also increase investment in signings!"

With too few cards in hand, there is little room for adjustment.

The football made an arc in mid-air, passed Zouter's head, and fell lightly towards the gate of Eindhoven!
The Dutch goalkeeper turned around in a hurry, even crawling and rolling towards the goal line did not prevent the goal from being scored.

"Continuing the winning streak of multi-line combat!"

The 58th minute of the game!

"The tulip overlord may be able to understand the feelings of the middle and lower reaches of the Eredivisie at this time."

Jirou was shocked.

Many well-known psychiatrists could not cure the champion disease that was gradually blackening in his heart, but this season was "cured" by Li Kang.

With a helpless expression on his face, Cocu picked up a banana on the ground and walked into the player tunnel while peeling it.

"Tonight is a match day in the Champions League, not the Eredivisie."

Arsenal's offensive and defensive ends completely crushed Eindhoven.

"Sanchez did not waste this good opportunity!"

Li Kang got rid of the defense and sent a precise pass from the left rib.

The 42th minute of the game.

"Arsenal's tactics have not changed in any way, it is Lee who raised the ceiling of the team."

Scattered debris was thrown into the field.

"God, how far will he grow in a few years?"

"How far can Arsenal go in the Champions League this season? Let us wait and see!"

The young Dutch goalkeeper believes that he will be popular all over the world in the future.

The overlord of the Eredivisie is not good at playing low defense, let alone playing a transition attack against Arsenal?
"The dominance of this Arsenal team is terrible!"

Carrying the young Dutch central defender hard.

Wenger struggled for a moment, then shook his head: "The intensity of the game is not high, Li played very easily, and the opponent's defensive moves are not strong."

He slammed his head forward violently.

Cocu is not a parallel importer, and he is also a faithful believer in La Masia's football philosophy.

After joining Eindhoven in the winter window of last season, he scored 16 goals in 10 games, and finally helped the team overtake Ajax in the last round of the league and won the Eredivisie championship trophy.

The Eindhoven fans could only watch those thick and dark thighs trampling on their empty half.

But a midfielder who can send such a wide range of precise long passes with his feet in reverse is too scarce.

"One foot of the world wave."

Li Kang's right foot hit the bottom of the football.

Zot struck.

He rubbed the tulip overlord against the ground fiercely.

"PSV can be beaten, but not knocked down."

"Luc De Jong!"

He is better at planning the general direction of the team's offense.

"Wenger, who spends money like water, is smiling on the sidelines."

Bah!
The football leaves the Arsenal centre-back's right foot.

It's a pity that Maguire's long pass failed to stabilize the football and eventually flew out of bounds.

The real veteran giants in the Eredivisie are Ajax and Feyenoord. If Eindhoven, which is sitting on the third floor, wants to catch up with the progress, it must not only be reflected in the honor level, but also in the style of play.

At least they didn't score 6 net goals.

Arsenal last won the Premier League in 2004.

Can't attack.

The fastest man in the Premier League.

Pure oppressive siege.

After a while of hard thinking, Koku had no time to think of a countermeasure.

Boulder exclaimed: "Lee is still improving? I thought he was already at his peak!"

Very simple.

"The frustrated Dutch genius regained his killer qualities last season!"

The tall and mighty Maguire intercepted the ball domineeringly.

The gate of Eindhoven was blasted without any suspense!

Life is not always so unlucky.

Eindhoven pressed deep.

He is not a nobody.

What is the ultimate intention of the plan?
How to molest the opponent's defensive resources!

Like a big pillar, it propped up Eindhoven's delicate middle of the restricted area!

Members of the coaching staff did not participate in the goal celebration.

The other side.

In the 94nd minute of the game, injury time.

The right foot will have the ball in the left half.

0:2! ! !

"His right foot is not bad, but his left foot is more exquisite."

"At this time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game!"

This cleanliness failed to exchange for the Champions League ranking.

Eindhoven does not have the superstars of Monaco.

"The existence of Li Kang has solved many problems in the team's tactical framework."

What if you use your right foot?
The left foot will. Use the right foot in the right half, the passing tendency is too one-sided.

"PSV did not give up their attack until the last moment of the game."

What about the Champions League champion?
Not once.

Eindhoven finally got a chance to fight back.

Wenger seemed to be in a good mood and did not mention the grievances of the year. After all, victory can wash away all negative emotions.

Opportunities to counterattack are also difficult to seize.

Walcott, who had been lurking for a long time, suddenly started!

It has an auxiliary effect on the commercial packaging of individual players and clubs.

"There is no secret to winning."

The two biggest impacts are the speed of the ball and the counter-press.

Li Kang formed a shadow with the referee, and was taken back to the locker room by the team doctor and assistant coach.

A blast.
Did not get up.

If this game is slaughtered, the chances of playing in the Europa League will become increasingly slim.

Van Ginkel sprinted and took control of the football before Maguire.

After receiving the pass, Sanchez sprinted hard.

Scared.

Eindhoven's formation stagnated, and quickly organized a counter-robbery!
Anti-robbing is also learned.

At the age of 17, he was the best rookie in the Eredivisie and a midfield star who has attracted the attention of European giants.

"I don't regret the confrontation."

side of the field.

The explanation is not finished yet.

"Arsenal's Revenge Night!"

Maybe tonight.

Xhaka looked very anxious, and rushed out of the bench to help the coach zip up.

The coat was rattling, he waved his hand, and announced the most direct order: attack!

"We'll have a win at Camp Nou!"

Boulder said excitedly: "Boss, I suggest replacing Lee."

"Eindhoven don't have to be sad, they are not the club at the bottom of the group!"

My heart is very contradictory.

Sanchez excitedly kicked the corner flagpole, took off his jersey and beat his chest muscles frantically.

Eindhoven was pressed in the penalty area and rubbed wildly.

Even with a golden left foot, his optimal solution in the right half of the court still needs to complete the back or sideways movements, so that he can directly use his left foot to create murderous intentions and instigate a counterattack.

There were no twists and turns in the game.

Philips Stadium, boos everywhere.

Snapped!
Sanchez didn't give it a chance.

There was thunderous applause from the audience!
Which media doesn't like this kind of coach who likes to benchmark against other teams after losing?

The gimmicky title came to mind in the blink of an eye.

"Barcelona legend: We will bloodbath the Nou Camp. "
