What is a destructive midfielder?

Chapter 275 The Butterfly's Temptation

"Clean tackle!"

"Li Kang, who has returned to the position of the deep midfielder, is the leading iron gate in Europe!"

"Look at this transition offense."

"The position is still too late. If you choose to advance by yourself, the rhythm will appear to be a bit procrastinated and exquisite long pass!"

"It's for Chamberlain!"

Chamberlain is a super demon star produced by the Southampton youth academy.

His original nickname was "New Walcott".

Also a fast horse.

Stronger body and punch than Walcott, not as smart.

Monaco's midfield did not frantically counterattack.

They don't panic.

Coaching teams all over Europe are studying Arsenal with Li Kang.

Summed up a lot of experience:

"If Li Kang doesn't participate in the transition attack, Arsenal's attack power limit can only touch the threshold of Paris Saint-Germain. '

"If Li Kang does not participate in position defense, the upper limit of Arsenal's defensive power is almost at the level of Manchester City. '

Pay attention.

Switch offense.

Position defense.

Monaco's coaching team is not only good at digging out little monsters, but also makes sufficient arrangements for the pre-match deployment when facing strong opponents.

Jardim was also greedy for the salary of Jinyuan Football, and publicly said: Give him a Chinese Super League team that can compete with the mid-range Bundesliga teams at [-]-[-].

There was little pressure on Arsenal's push.

Chamberlain took the lead and rushed forward without encountering any obstruction.

Butterfly 4-4-2 has been gradually eliminated for many reasons: In the offensive and defensive transition phase, formation changes are too dependent on the player's sense of position.

A player with a poor sense of position is not a good thing;

Too much sense of position is also a bad thing, such as Mata who transferred from Chelsea to Manchester United.

That's right.

After 2014, players with a strong sense of position have been difficult to fulfill the core tasks in the lineup of giants. The position of core players has become blurred, which is a wave of tactical changes. The trend is like a circle, gradually returning to "total attack". Keep it safe" starting point.

Coincidentally.

This group of young talents in Monaco has a very good sense of position.

Li Kang followed the movement of his own formation and ran forward slowly.

From God's perspective:
No one runs after him, but disperses his teammates in the frontcourt and blocks the receiving point.

Mendy and Bakayoko frantically rushed to their backcourt.

Fabinho did not stick to the midfield position, but quickly retreated, forming a "three central defenders" with Glick and Remelsson.

In an instant, the defensive width was widened.

Monaco, don't panic at all.

Chamberlain, an unenlightened juvenile body, still doesn't know what is waiting for him ahead.
side of the field.

Jardim danced and roared loudly in the command area.

The "butterfly 4-4-2" he trained has endless changes.

But the head coach needs to pass on the adjustment information in time, so that he looks particularly busy in key games.

The other side.

Boulder also yelled from the sidelines.

Wenger adjusted the red tie on his chest with a dignified expression.

He arranged this set of 4-4-2 that focuses on defense before the game. The defense is no problem, but the offensive number is inferior, and it is difficult to bear fruit.

"Chamberlain's small change of direction is so clever!"

"Hey,... I couldn't pass."

"Football pops out of bounds!"

"A missed offensive opportunity."

"It can't be said that you have a good chance. The passing points of Arsenal's frontcourt players were strangled."

"The number of troops invested in the attack is too small."

"Monaco players take a breather now!"

Chamberlain gave his teammates a thumbs up apologetically.

He kind of hates himself now.

Welbeck's guy can also have a perfect linkage with Li, why can't he show a brilliant performance.

Bellerin throws the ball out of bounds.

The target was Li Kang, who was unmarked in the backcourt.

Followed by.

The Arsenal team-mates took the hint after seeing a few quick changes in hand gestures.

Since the end of the European Cup, Li Kang has not played the position of a deep midfielder for a long time.

He has spent the past few days studying Monaco's tactical framework.

There is probably a preliminary way of deconstruction.

But the change of Fabinho's position cannot be simulated in the game.

Still need to explore.

Find out the evolution direction of Jardim butterfly 4-4-2.

Instead of rushing for a fast break, he began to sort out and dispatch the midfield in a leisurely manner.

Slow running and passing.

A blurred phantom of Red and Blue 6 gradually appeared in the field of vision.

Harvey.

There is no catharsis about the art of getting rid of in circles.

Instead, it conveys the idea of ​​maintaining the overall formation structure and advancing slowly
The football is passing fast and slow at the feet of the black jersey.

The horizontal and vertical spacing of the entire central axis is sometimes shortened and sometimes expanded!
"The change of running distance of Arsenal players is very simple, and it mainly revolves around the principle of playing more and playing less locally."

"Deep space is well utilized."

"It's dangerous. Fabinho's sliding tackle on the ground destroyed Arsenal's threatening pass to the ribs in time!"

"But Monaco has no pressure to deal with this control system. They defeated Barcelona in the second round of the Champions League group stage."

"Different!"

"Li Kang's allocation of transmission resources is already close to the realm of Harvey and Pirlo."

Time passed minute by minute.

The Monaco players gradually felt the pressure.

Jardim also had a little headache.

Force or retreat.

It's a choice.

Falcao, Mbappe and Lemar in the frontcourt had no chance to touch the ball at all.

No.

Don't fall into the rhythm of Li Kang!

Stade Louis II.

The momentum of the Monaco fans has not diminished in the slightest.

They still remember: Not long ago, in the second round of the Champions League, Barcelona was also defeated by Monaco because of using this tactic.

Is it difficult to break the transmission control?
Members of the royal family in the VIP box were also watching the game with great interest.

"Arsenal's football, no matter how it is played, is a symbol of art."

"Didn't Rybonovlev say that he would invite Mr. Arsene back with an annual salary of 1000 million pounds? We can't afford Mr. [-] million, but we can let the Arsenal coach return to the place where the dream started and make another dream come true!"

"Don't listen to him fooling around, Jardim has done a good job, why replace him? Our team will definitely achieve good results in the Champions League this season!"

Arsenal fans are also a little uncomfortable.

The style of painting reflected on the field is not the rhythm they are familiar with.

But anyway.

Enjoy the game of owning Lee.

Cherish the bright new era of Armory.

side of the field.

Boulder exclaimed: "Boss, after advancing to the 40-meter area in Monaco's half, the opponent's pressing became more and more fierce! We only have one Lee and Cazorla, without Iniesta and Busquets, this kind of Static pass and control kicks won't last long!"

Wenger pressed his hands down, signaling the bald assistant coach to calm down.

"Even if the opponent presses down the ball, it is not so easy to break up our formation."

"Mertesacker and Koscielny are positioned carefully."

"We have to trust Lee."

Following Jardim's crazy gestures on the sidelines.

Monaco increases the number of press oppressors.

Bakayoko and Mendy's positional prerequisites.

Ok.

It's Mendy who likes to "party".

As a young man, he still doesn't know his future fate in the blue moon.

Sidibe's position moved forward and retracted, switching from a full-back to a defensive midfielder to make up for the thickness in front of the back line. The ultimate goal is to liberate Fabinho.

What about Fabinho?
This guy shows undeniably unparalleled coverage and recovery capabilities.

He himself was born as a right back.

With a height of 1.8 meters [-], he has a strong physique, and his ability to predict the position is also extremely abnormal. Facing the good teammate of the former Real Madrid echelon - Morata, he did not fall behind at all.

"Fabinho's role on the field is too obvious!"

"Hey?"

"Li Kang is hitting his back specifically!"

"This time the overhead ball is passed by grabbing the area near him!"

Fabinho was also a little depressed.

Obviously can act as a flexible mobile defender.

How was it targeted by Li?It seems to be competing with yourself.

no way.

Arsenal's defense line, with the overall movement of the formation, has already overwhelmed the center circle.

As long as the steal is completed by Monaco, a successful counterattack is played.

Lemar and Mbappé will make Lee regret it!

Studio.

Barrages are flying.
-
[Fabinho is not bad, he is only 23 years old this year!Has the potential to become one of the top three defensive midfielders in the world! 】
-
[I heard from The Sun that he will join Liverpool next season! 】
-
[Our army rises! 】
-
[23 years old, if the news is true, it will be enough for Liverpool for ten years! 】

The 20th minute of the game.

Li Kang sent an over-the-top long pass.

The football outlined a graceful arc over the Côte d'Azur, easily penetrating Monaco's right.

Fabinho quickly retreated.

But it was blocked by Giroud's big ass.

Morata took advantage of the situation and overtook the car. After leading the ball, he ran wildly and entered the Monaco penalty area diagonally.

at the top of the arc.

Glick rushed up quickly.

The Spanish striker changed direction, swayed out of the shooting angle, and shot with one kick!
Snapped!
The football slammed into Germelsson's ass and flew out of bounds.

The 32th minute of the game.

Li Kang sent an overhead ball again.

Still playing behind Fabinho.

Brazil's midfielder was miserable, turned around and chased again, and at the same time got stuck in Sanchez's position.
Glick, who arrived in time, looked at the menacing Morata and decisively cleared the ball out of bounds.

The 38th minute of the game.

Li Kang sent an overhead ball.

Fabinho turned and chased
The 42th minute of the game.

Li Kang sent an overhead ball.

Fabinho turned and chased
Jardim was dumbfounded.

The audience was also dumbfounded.

Monaco's Butterfly 4-4-2 is such a perfect cross-rotation defensive system, it was repeatedly played by Li Kang under the premise of controlling the ball.

The world-class midfielder Fabinho, who was originally tall and stalwart in my mind, gradually became short and embarrassing.

Gradually, some discordant sounds flew out from the stands.

"Why does Sidibe always give up the defense on the right and let Fabinho fill in the hole?"

"Is it necessary for Bakayoko and Mendy to participate in the grab?"

Poor Monaco players, I can't tell you how hard it is.

If there is no series of presses and defensive rotations, it will make Arsenal players comfortably play sharp passes!
Injury time in the first half.

Li Kang has not had time to send the header.

Beep!beep beep~
The referee blows the whistle to end the first half.

"Slightly dull first half."

"But Li Kang has played wonderful long passes many times."

"It's cruel to say that under the premise that Arsenal controls the game, super stars like Lemar, Bernardo Silva, and Mbappe have no chance to show their abilities on the offensive end."

"But Arsenal didn't get many chances, and the number of shots was very few!"

"Looking forward to the performance of the two teams in the second half!"

"Take a break and let's get into some commercial break."

Li Kang and Cazorla felt fine, not too tired.

Including Bellerin who stands parallel to the two from time to time.

The ones who are tired are the teammates on the front line.

Especially Giroud, whose speed has not yet been practiced in this period, and his physique is big, and his physical energy is exhausted by constantly turning back and forth and sprinting back and forth.

"Why do we always play Monaco on the right and the space in the right half? There are too few shots converted."

"Don't ask too much, just listen to Li."

Morata interrupted his teammate's interrogative sentence, took the dry towel from Boulder, and ran towards Li Kang.

Arsenal dressing room.

The members of the coaching staff reviewed the details of the first half of the game.

In the freshly released heat map, a blush is imprinted on the right side of Monaco's half, which is extremely intense.

Everyone gradually discovered a problem: Fabinho's turning speed is so fast, why is it always half a beat slower than Morata or even Giroud?
"Damn it, this is why Fabinho can't compete with Casemiro in the Real Madrid echelon or the Brazilian national team!"

"This guy is too hesitant to judge the landing point!"

"How can such an excellent genius midfielder have such a stupid bad habit, like a pot of delicious mushroom soup, falling into a fly!"

"It's unbelievable, didn't Real Madrid's youth training target such training? No, why doesn't Casemiro have this shortcoming?"

"Fabinho is not a product of the orthodox Real Madrid youth training. Well, now is not the time to discuss this."

"Lee is terrible. He spent 45 minutes testing out Monaco's defensive weaknesses! Two hundred million dollars is worth it!"

"Unfortunately, this weakness cannot be the key to victory for the time being."

"It's the key to victory."

While the coaching staff is still arguing.

Wenger has already pulled Welbeck to the corner to teach him the opportunity.

After a while.

The naive little black egg clenched his fists excitedly when he learned that he could play as a substitute.

"Boss, I remember your arrangement, well, it doesn't matter if I don't remember, I will go wherever Li passes it on!"

Wenger was startled, but shook his head helplessly, he couldn't find anything to refute Welbeck.

Monaco dressing room.

Jardim roared wildly.

"You have to be more decisive in your attitude towards grabbing!"

"If you keep hesitating, you will only be sorted out by Li to pass the chance!"

"Didn't expect you to cut a football from under his feet!"

"My request is simple: reduce the space for him to handle the ball!"

"Li's gesture is very simple, isn't it just to raise his hand to let his teammates get out of the side or the center? I can understand it fucking! His purpose in the first half was to find a chance to play a misplacement! Form a local numerical advantage! "

"listen!"

"We just need to be firm and do a good job in defensive details. Arsenal's offense will not pose any threat!"

The generals were silent.

Including Mbappe.

He was so depressed that he scratched the little black egg, feeling that the gap between himself and Li Kang had widened a little bit.

Fabinho was bitter.

It's not that he has a problem with the judgment of the landing point, but that Li's overhead pass is too tricky.

The 15-minute break ends quickly.

Night falls on the Côte d'Azur.

Li Kang walked out of the tunnel, looked up at the dark blue night sky, and felt that the color of his jersey was very similar.

The problems to be dealt with in the second half are like the stars in the sky.

4-4-2, the eternal formation that has been polished by countless football seniors, has endless changes, and may not be so easily eliminated by the wave of reform.

"Good evening, audience friends, welcome back."

"The UEFA Champions League group match is now live for you, the second half of the match between Monaco and Arsenal!"

"The temporary score between the two sides is 0:0."

"Arsenal took the lead in using the first substitution quota!"

"Welbeck replaces Giroud!"

"This is a counterpoint personnel adjustment!"

bench.

Giroud took a shower, changed his clothes and sat beside Walcott.

He is a diligent old scalper with a good competitive attitude, and he will not complain when he is replaced by the midfielder.

He clearly knows what type of defense he is suitable for and what scenarios he is not suitable for.

What is this called?
The tactical cognition of professional players.

　Let's watch the game together after I finish writing it.Some friends asked about the episode?Let’s talk about it after the book is finished, there will definitely be.

　　A few days ago, I was on Dafeng Twitter. It stands to reason that I should write a testimonial and update a chapter every day, and still have the face to write a testimonial?Is it not good to update the text more when you have time?
