What is a destructive midfielder?

Chapter 485 Never Walk Alone (Daily Transition)
"The quality is comparable to the red-blue showdown in the Champions League semi-finals."

"If this wasn't a Premier League game, people might be reminded of an interesting effect."

"In 1978, a British prince got married, Liverpool won the Champions League, and the Pope died."

"In 2005, a British prince got married, Liverpool won the Champions League, and the Pope died."

"This year, the British prince got married."

time flies.

Liverpool is very passive and uncomfortable.

Chelsea, who controlled the game, repeatedly threatened the opponent's goal.

The 29th minute of the game.

Li Kang flashed and moved in the red defense line.

The football suddenly swept out of the crowd.

"Reverse ramp plug."

"Li Kang paused after passing the ball and then moved forward. He even took into account Rudiger's daze time."

Rudiger stopped the football on the left side of the penalty area.

stunned for a moment.

Sweep the ball to the goal!

Bah!
After all, it was too strong.

I don't know the line well either.

The football flew out of bounds.

Liverpool's penalty area was full of people.

The moment Li Kang and Karius collided, they both opened their arms in a friendly manner to reduce the impact.

He heard that the German goalkeeper was hit and concussed during his youth team days, and he still had some sequelae.

No problem.

The two grown men stopped their inertia in time and tenderly "wrapped hands and hugged" each other in full view of the public.

Blues technical director Petr Cech, who was traveling with the team, couldn't help but applaud this tender scene.

The tank cap on your head has disappeared, but is the tank cap in your heart still there?
Anfield stadium, thunderous applause.

Karius smiled brightly and patted Li Kang's butt gratefully: a classic friendly gesture from the Bundesliga.

The attack failed.

Liverpool throw-in.

Chelsea players quickly returned to their positions.

Rudiger's thoughts drifted away: If his cross was faster, what would happen to Lee who moved ahead of time and Karius?
As I thought about it, I couldn't help but shiver all over.

"Liverpool had one of the few opportunities to attack independently."

"The camera showed Klopp on the sidelines, directing his movements very passionately."

"The game has entered the 30th minute, and the next time point is the peak period for Liverpool to score goals!"

"Let's take a look at this advancement. The formation has finally changed."

Klopp's distribution of players' physical strength at different points in time tends to be within a fixed range.

The physical trainer and nutrition expert came from Bayern Munich.

The coaching staff also has a member known as the "eyes" - Kravitz.

These people told him:

Consider multi-front operations.

Rock kicks cannot be maintained mindlessly for long periods of time.

For example: Liverpool is a game character without a blue bar. His skills are very powerful, but he relies on his health bar to cast his skills. When facing monsters that cannot be defeated easily, he must allocate his health bar reasonably.

Liverpool finally changed their formation.

In the last 15 minutes of the first half, they tried to equalize the score with an independent attack, leaving no stone unturned.

Emre Can sent a long pass from the ground.

Firmino suddenly dropped back to receive the ball from the right side of midfield.

high speed.

Rudiger and Bakayoko had no time to follow up.

Follow-up won't work either. Once they follow up deeply, Chelsea will leave a gap on the right.

The Liverpool center then followed the outside line on the right and sent a long pass from the ground.

Salah received the ball and headed towards the penalty area.

"Firmino's movement on the field was very fragmented and scattered."

"A very smart retreat, barely bypassing Chelsea's double-layered pressing net!"

"People call him: the center with the most positional flexibility!"

"Watch carefully."

"He's now positioned parallel to the back line."

False nine + deep-lying hybrid forward.

There is no fixed activity area.

Especially in the stage of advancement and attack establishment, it will make the opposing defensive players very uncomfortable.

A torrent of red instantly swept through Chelsea's half.

Hybrid center - Firmino, runs 'parallel' to his own high defensive line.

Unique offense.

Mane switched to center forward form, swimming between Chelsea's two central defenders.

Fullback Robertson filled the little black egg's hole and turned into a forward.

Three miserable midfielders supported the attack from two points outside.

Firmino is waiting.

Waiting for Salah to attract the defense, waiting for Chelsea to adjust the defense line, then quietly inserting into the space, becoming a "late terminator".

This trick works well against strong teams.

Except for Manchester United, other European powerhouses have suffered losses.

It is useless against mid- and lower-tier teams, because the defensive line of mid-tier and lower-tier teams cannot adjust so quickly. There are gaps everywhere, and there is no vacancy anywhere. Firmino can easily be defended by mid-tier and lower-tier teams after he lurks before pushing forward. Personnel, hit by mistake, stuck in position.

The same reason.

A talented center like Firmino cannot threaten Manchester United's defense with his alternative style of play.

"Salah attracts most of the defensive energy on the right."

"Chelsea fans don't panic!"

"The Blues' defense is solid!"

Salah didn't force himself.

In a small space, he knocked the ball to Arnold on the outside.

Firmino's body was shaken.

It's now.

Transform!

The late finisher!
At Anfield, all eyes are on the football.

A red flame started to burn from the high defense line and began to surge.

With surging murderous intent, he ran towards the empty space at the front of the penalty area.

Didn't run very far.

Firmino suddenly realized something was wrong.

The coveted finishing spot is gone!

Blocked by Li Kang!

The flames went out.

what happened?

Arnold's ability to read the defense is not bad at all.

He found that after Li Kang moved, Chamberlain had a very comfortable receiving environment.

with a snap.

Pass the ball.

Firmino is unable to appear in space, resulting in a finishing attack.

But Chamberlain's peripheral position can barely cause a weak-side transfer before the end.

Make the best of it.

Not too bad.

Unfortunately, before Chamberlain could stop the ball, a short black shadow passed by quickly.

Kanter!

In the 15-18 era, Europe's God of Stealing Efficiency!
"Pretty!"

"Chelsea's counterattack!"

Studio.

The bullet screen was full of curses.
-
[What kind of football does Firmino play?Is he worthy of the title of Red Arrow? 】
-
[Liverpool plays blindly again! 】
-
[The attack chain is too short!Every time it’s so short! 】
-
[I understand clearly that the main idea of ​​Chelsea's defense is to cut off the connection between the Red Arrows and the two full-backs. In the initial stage of the positional battle, Tuchel's 4-4-2 formation will release Li Kang to protect the open position. 】
-
[Tuchel is awesome!World famous handsome man! 】
-
[Firmino’s timing to push forward was perfect, and Li Kang’s timing to fill in the hole was even more perfect. 】

Chelsea's final counterattack failed.

At his peak, Van Dijk was no longer the small defender who was ravaged by Hazard.

Retreat on the same frequency, seal the inside line, and drive away the outside line.

The football was cleared out of bounds.

Chelsea possession.

sidelines.

Dino looked confused: "Boss, Liverpool is attacking this time."

Tuchel wanted to explain but didn't know how to put it into words: "Lee and Kante, fantastic."

The other side.

Klopp tugged at his hair in confusion.

You can't play like this.

If you keep playing like this, you will lose.
He stood on the sidelines and roared loudly. His voice was once again obscured by the passionate "Never Walk Alone" played by the stands on all sides, but his gestures still conveyed his intentions to his disciples.

The minutes and seconds of the game ticked by.

Chelsea were firmly in control of the ball.

The relationship between Fabregas and Li Kang helped the team build ever-changing Klinefelter triangles during the offensive phase.

The two La Masia No. 4 positions have different problem-solving ideas.

One person always finds the most reasonable position to receive the ball and sends the most reasonable passing route.

One person moves forward and retreats as the formation moves forward, always at the core, the real eye of the formation.

Liverpool are crazy.

They returned to their frantic form in the passionate and loud "Never Walk Alone" at Anfield.

Which form of Majin Buu is the most troublesome?

The weak Little Buu!

Because it is the purest!

"Football Paradox." "Crazy counterattacks and high defensive lines should not coexist."

"Counterattacks require space, and the low defense is its carrier."

"The high defensive line is the carrier of independent attacks, which naturally blocks the space for counterattacks."

"But under the paradox of this no-ball system, a first-class midfielder can compete with superstars when running with all his strength!"

"The body of a mortal is comparable to a god!"

"This is the greatness of Liverpool's system!"

Anfield stadium, cheers one after another.

The intense scene made the audience almost breathless.

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

The score has not changed.

The panting Liverpool players still have more to say.

Fabregas was sore all over and raised his jersey and shorts towards the referee to point out the bruises on his body.

Diego Costa is obsessed with the Liverpool central defender and was still chatting with Van Dijk when he left the game.

Li Kang patted the grass clippings from his hair.

The red line from God's perspective is closing crazily.

After playing against Atletico Madrid and Liverpool, he suddenly realized that tactical restraint may not always be the theme of the game.

Atletico Madrid's cholo-taka will bring the game to a [-]-[-] balance.

Liverpool's primitive form of frenzy, fighting to the death.

The tactical revolution in the five major leagues is like rivers converging and flowing endlessly.

In the football world, there are teams that are "unbeatable at the tactical level"
Fortunately, there are not many teams like this.

Chelsea dressing room.

Tuchel did not review the details of the first 30 minutes of the first half.

He put most of his explanation time into the last 15 minutes.

"The pressure of the Liverpool players on the high defensive line was at its best at this time."

"If Lee continues to advance forward and participate in the offensive chain, the team will lose its position. Once the ball is lost, our formation will be scattered by the opponent!"

"wait!"

"patience!"

"We are in the lead. Liverpool players are not robots! They will make mistakes when they are physically exhausted!"

He didn't finish his sentence.

Other Chelsea players also make mistakes under high pressure.

Dino was full of confidence. He took out the yellowing notebook and opened the second page again.

That was when Tuchel first came to Chelsea, Tuchel had the players conduct "small ball" training. After more than half a season of trial practice, the team's passing and control stability has made leaps and bounds visible to the naked eye.

After all, this group of players is Europe's best in their own right.

Li Kang put the small tactical board on the stool, flipped the small magnetic flag, and made gestures towards Kanter.

Little Heidan scratched the back of his head shyly: "Li, I don't know if I can seize the opportunity like you. I will try my best."

At this time, Kanter was still too young and didn't know that God had gifted him with an alternative offensive talent.

Liverpool dressing room.

The door was closed.

Advanced soundproofing equipment cannot completely block Klopp's passionate speech.

Next Monday, this speech line will be sent to various well-known groups as internal reference.

The 15-minute break is coming to an end.

The locker room door was opened.

The Liverpool players appeared in the cleaning lady's field of vision in high spirits.

"Good evening, audience friends, welcome back."

"Now live for you is the epic matchup of the 2017-18 Premier League season!"

"Liverpool vs Chelsea second half!"

"The two sides have not made substitution adjustments for the time being."

The commentator inadvertently referred to the 'red and blue battle' as an 'epic showdown'.

beep!
Accompanied by the referee's whistle.

The second half of the game begins.

Liverpool possession.

Firmino passes back into the backcourt.

Li Kang and Hazard changed positions again, Chelsea doubled the pressure on the net, and quickly strangled the Liverpool backcourt.

After the football is passed between the red jerseys a few times.

lost.

Football without a master under the control of Cesc Fabregas.

Liverpool, whose morale was high, did not pay attention to such details.

role switching.

Keep up the pressure.

Fabregas struggled to pass the ball to the back under the interference of Emre Can.

"It's a mess!"

"Crazy Liverpool will definitely disrupt Chelsea's formation."

"The messier the better."

"Liverpool will benefit more when out of position."

The most comfortable output environment for the Three Red Arrows is to fight out of position.

However, due to this history, many fans ridiculed Liverpool's strategic tendency as: "playing blindly"!
The war continues to spread.

Firmino's movements are becoming more and more sporadic, sometimes dragging to the midfield, sometimes to the back line.

Chamberlain became a full-back and Arnold moved into the defensive midfielder position.

Hazard was forced into the defensive midfielder position, and Kanter filled the gap and moved to the forward position.

Fabregas returned to the false nine position for Barcelona and Euro 12.

Chaos.

Totally messed up.

The coaching staff on the sidelines had no time to think about how to break the situation.

On the green field, there were only three people whose positions were not disrupted by the melee: Buffon, Karius, and Li Kang.

The fierce competition made the audience feel that time passed very quickly.

In the live broadcast room, ghosts were crying and wolves were howling.
-
[Where is the big ball you promised?It was obviously a duel, why didn't they score? 】
-
[Every time I see someone rushing out of the space, I feel like I have a chance to score. But in the end, I am either counterattacked or intercepted! 】
-
[Li Mingdeng’s control of the field was too stable and did not completely mess up the team, otherwise he would have definitely scored seven goals in this game. 】
-
[He had to control the field. There was no other midfielder to assist in the attack, and Fabregas was marked very hard. 】
-
[It’s over, it’s almost 80 minutes. 】
-
[I beg the 22 gentlemen on the field to score a few more goals! 】
-
[Chelsea and Liverpool are just standing and attacking each other to see who can't hold on, who falls first, and who collapses. 】

The 82th minute of the game.

As the physical fitness of both sides declined, the formation gradually returned to normal.

The striker returns to the front line.

The defender returns to the defensive line.

Li Kang received a pass from his teammate in the 40-meter area.

Salah and Chamberlain rushed over at the same time.

Chelsea's core pulled the ball and turned around, getting rid of the defense, and the connection with nearby support points was cut off.

From God's perspective.

Azpilicueta pushes forward.

There are bound to be risks in a large-scale forward attack.

In the normal formation, the risk of losing the ball is small and the chance of a complete offensive chain is greater.

Snapped!
Soccer kicks off the ground.

Go right.

"Long outside spin!"

"Pretty!"

Arnold retreated to help defend the ribs, and Firmino, who was in midfield form, quickly retreated to cover the gap.

pity.

After fighting to the point of exhaustion, the two of them moved a beat slower.

Offensive players can be slow, but the big price is delaying the offensive rhythm.

Defensive players cannot be slow, as the cost is too heavy.

"Wonderful ground pass!"

"Punched through Liverpool's ribs!"

"Diego Costa has no chance to hit the goal!"

"Quick response!"

"Set up the artillery and do it again!"

"Kante!"

"little Giant!"

"Have it!"

Bah!
Kanter sneaked out and fired furiously at the ball.

The football sticks to the turf and hits Liverpool's goal.

Karius's view was blocked by the dense crowd.

That's right.

The 1.6-meter Kanter was blocked by a group of 1.8-meter and 1.9-meter big men!

The net on the left side of the goal was lifted again.

0:2! ! !

Kanter was stunned and ran back excitedly!

Hug Li Kang vigorously.

Diego Costa, who sent the assist, was cursing but had a heartfelt smile on his face.

"Pretty!"

"The ball is in!"

"Kante's shot to catch an open shot is very similar to Firmino!"

"Tuchel has continued the transformation of Kante by previous coach Conte."

"Li Kang was dragged behind by the crazy Liverpool. Klopp never dreamed that the person who completed the finish would be Kante!"

"When Kanter was celebrating while facing the away stands, he kept pointing at Li Kang. What does this mean? We will have to find out through the post-match interview!"

"With only 8 minutes left in the regular time of the game, Henderson loudly encouraged his teammates from the sidelines."

"We believe that even if they are in dire straits at this moment, Liverpool will not give up!"

"You never walk alone."
