What ball king, call me ball god

After the two national team matches, the domestic media's praise for Lin Kedi has reached its peak.

A voice of praise.

Yan Qiang, a Chinese footballer, said Link's performance against the Philippines was the strongest individual performance in the history of Asian football!

Other media people didn't say that like Yan Qiang, but it was almost the same.

And it's not just the Chinese media that boast so much.

The Japanese and Korean media are also boasting.

The Japanese media boasted that defeating the enemy is the pride of all Asians and the best representative of Asian players.

The South Korean media, while bragging about Lin defeating the enemy, also brought up Sun Xingmin.

Among them, Luo Ming, the editor-in-chief of Sports Monthly, even published a long article praising Lin Kedi.

Luo Ming said——

"I used to say that football is not a game for one person. In the past, there were discussions in various domestic forums about how to give the Chinese team a Ronaldo or Messi. Even after Sun Xingmin rose, but after the Korean national team performed mediocre, everyone I have said that football is not a one-person sport, but after watching Lin Kedi’s performance against the Philippines, I don’t think football is not a one-person sport, but that the player is not strong enough. When Lin Kedi faced the Philippines, Three times, he overwhelmed the Philippine defense line with his own speed, technique and shooting skills, and ended the game by himself. Lin Kedi can often end the game by himself in the European arena, let alone in Asia What about the field! For example, in the game against Newcastle, Newcastle’s coach Bruce has tried his best to limit and defend Link. He even formed a 541 defensive formation, but Link still managed to complete the cap in that game. A trick! This shows that Lin Kedi is a player with extremely strong individual combat ability."

Luo Ming, as the only reporter who can vote for the Golden Globe Awards in China, also expressed his attitude at the end of the article.

"China can produce Lin Kedi, not only the luck of Chinese football, but also the luck of Asian football. He became the first Asian to win UEFA's best player in Europe, and the first Asian to win the World Footballer of the Year People, this means a lot, and at the end of the Golden Globe selection, I believe he can also become the first Asian to win the Golden Globe!"

All kinds of praise came one after another, after all, Lin Kedi's performance is really amazing.

After returning to Europe, Manchester United will face a big battle.

The opponent is Liverpool, the classic double red club.

Liverpool ranked second in the league last season, and this season is also very strong, with 7 wins and 1 tie behind Manchester United, which has won 8 consecutive victories.

So this game can be said to be the strongest opponent Manchester United has encountered since the beginning of the season.

Ten Hag did not dare to neglect at all.

But it happened that this game was played after the national team match day, and the physical condition of the players was very problematic.

Therefore, after the first team players returned to the team, Ten Hag immediately had to take a look at the physical fitness report given by the team doctor.

The first thing he looked at was Lin Kedi.

I saw that everything written on the report was normal.

Ten Hag breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Lin Kedi can play, this game will be a battle.

Afterwards, Ten Hag read the physical fitness reports of all first-team players, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

There are only two players who cannot play due to physical conditions or injuries, one Dalot and one Matic.

Matic has already been positioned as a rotation player by Ten Hag, and Dalot is just a substitute, so the impact is not big. Ten Hag is completely at ease to study the formation against Liverpool.

At the pre-match coaching staff meeting, assistant coach Mitchell first laid out Liverpool's usual starting players and formations.

"Liverpool often use a 433-[-]-[-] attacking formation. Their tactics are actually very similar to ours, but Klopp and Eric are a little different in their understanding of the midfield. It depends on what Eric you give us later. That's it - anyway, that's pretty much what Liverpool's starting line-up looks like."

"The goalkeeper is Alisson.

For the back line, Robertson is the left back, Arnold is the right back, Van Dijk is on the left of the two central defenders, and Matip is on the right.

The single midfielder is Fabinho, the left midfielder is Wijnaldum, and the right midfielder is Henderson.

The left winger is usually Mane, the right winger is usually Salah, and the center is Firmino.However, Salah has been injured recently, so Liverpool's offense will definitely be affected. This is our positive advantage. "

After Mitchell finished speaking, he looked at Ten Hag.

Ten Hag took over.

"Liverpool is a very difficult opponent to deal with, especially in the double red game. Basically, there is no need to mobilize emotions. As for tactics, if Salah is injured and can't play, Mane should play on the right or left. , They don’t have many people, it should be Origi. Without Salah, their offensive threat will be reduced by at least half. In this case, Arnold on the right will actually form a big gap. This point It is something we can focus on. I will emphasize this topic in the locker room before the game!"

"Eric, everyone knows that Arnold is a big colander!"

After Mitchell finished speaking, everyone on the coaching staff burst into laughter.

Carrick, in particular, had a great laugh.

It is standard practice for Manchester United to ridicule Liverpool.

Ten Hag's coaching staff has just arrived and integrated into Manchester United's tradition.

And in the locker room at night.

After training, Ten Hag will announce the starting list for tomorrow's game in the locker room.

For the hard-hitting main force like Lin Kedi, the focus of today's meeting is what kind of tactics Ten Hag has arranged.

For others, this meeting is important.

Especially those midfielders.

Matic thinks that this kind of key game still needs to start by himself. Guimaraes thinks that in this level of game, his youth is an advantage and he needs to run by himself.

And players like Fred have their own ideas.

And Ten Hag came in with a list.

"Let me first talk about tomorrow's starting list."

"Goalkeeper De Gea."

"Luke Shaw at left-back, Feltman at right-back. De Ligt and Lindelof at centre-back."

"Back waist—"

Having said that, Ten Hag looked up at everyone in the locker room.

"Bruno Guimaraes."

Guimaraes almost wanted to cry out.

But hold back.

On the other side, Matic is sad.

"Central midfielders Bentancur and De Jong."

"Left winger Rashford, right winger Perisic. Center link beat the enemy!"

"Okay, the list is finished, let's arrange tomorrow's tactics."

"Tomorrow's game, Salah's injury is still not healed. At that time, Mane will definitely return to the right. However, without Salah, although Mane has arrived this way, the offensive styles of the two are not the same. At that time, our focus will be on the right—”

"Arnold!"

Lin Kedi shouted out the answer first.

"Yes, it's Arnold! Lin is very experienced in this regard!"

Speaking of this, the locker room naturally burst into laughter, full of joy.

The name of Arnold Road is not very well-known in the Premier League at present, but the scene where Link defeated Arnold is a classic scene in the Champions League.

Everyone here knows this.

"Liverpool's tactics are basically the same as ours. They are all high-positioned tactics to press the frontcourt. Therefore, during the game, our midfielders must pay attention to defense. As for their midfielders, they are mostly engineers. Generally, so if you press, you can try to find a midfielder."

Ten Hag said a few words briefly, and when it was time to wrap up.

"I believe that there is no need to talk about mobilization in the end. After all, this is the Shuanghonghui! You all know the meaning of the Shuanghonghui!"

The crowd nodded.

The great significance of the Double Red Meeting is naturally understood by everyone.

Double Red Club, also known as Red Derby (Big Red Derby), Northwest Derby (North West derby).

It is the most famous and famous derby in England.

Not only is it significant, but it also has a long history.

With the rapid development of the British economy, the enjoyment consumption of football has also been born.Since the 19s, football clubs of all sizes have sprung up in England like mushrooms after rain.With the popularity of football, the football field has gradually become a symbol of urban culture.Whether it is Manchester City or Manchester United, their team logos have canals and sailing boats on them. For Liverpool people, this is a naked provocation.

The grievances between the two cities gradually moved to the football field.As long as there is a duel between clubs in two cities, fans will never be stingy with booing another city.The grievances between Manchester United and Liverpool began in April 1894, when Liverpool ushered in a test match with Manchester United.According to the rules at the time, the bottom three teams in League One will fight against the top three teams in League Two. If the League Two team wins, it will have the opportunity to be promoted to League One.At that time, Manchester United, the last player in League One, faced Liverpool, the champion of League Two.In the end, Manchester United lost 4-0 and were relegated.The conflict between the two sides kicked off in the green field.

This incident can be regarded as the starting point of the Double Red Meeting.

After years of accumulation, the dialogue between the giants Manchester United and Liverpool of the two cities has gradually become a battlefield between the two cities, because the competition between them is more about the honor and pride of the city.Later, Manchester United's Old Trafford Stadium and Liverpool's Anfield Stadium became the stage for the two sides to compete.

In the European competition, Manchester United was the first English team to win the Champions League trophy.However, in terms of Champions League honors, Liverpool maintained a 6-3 lead. Moreover, after the Istanbul night in 2005, Liverpool won the Champions League 5 times and became the only English team to retain the authentic Champions League trophy. This is what Manchester United will never be able to achieve before Honor, but now with Link behind the enemy lines, everything is unknown.

Manchester United also has its own pride.Before Ferguson took charge of Manchester United, Liverpool had 18 league titles and Manchester United had only 7.After taking office, Ferguson said: "My greatest wish in this life is like this." Ferguson said: "My greatest wish in my life is to step on Liverpool. "In his 26 years in charge, he led Manchester United to 13 league titles, surpassing Liverpool's 18 and becoming England's most successful team. He also led Manchester United to three Champions League and league doubles. , while Liverpool have never reached such heights.

Last season, Liverpool almost won their first Premier League championship, and this season they are also ranked second.

For Manchester United fans, it is perfectly normal to snipe Liverpool's championship road.

The contest between the Double Red Club is not only a competition between two teams, but also a cultural collision between two cities.Manchester was the cradle of the Industrial Revolution, representing modernity, progress and innovation.Liverpool is a harbor city, representing tradition, conservatism and history.The style and temperament of the two cities are also reflected in the football field.Manchester United are known for their attacking football, favoring quick counter-attacks and wide breaks.Liverpool is mainly defensive and counterattack, good at using set kicks and midfield control.

Of course, this is also the style of the past.

Now the tactical style of the two teams is actually quite similar.

This is also a historical evolution.

Therefore, everyone is naturally very aware of the importance and historical status of the Double Red Society.

Naturally, they dare not neglect.

The next day, race day.

About an hour before the game, the two sides announced the starting list.

Liverpool's starting lineup is actually a clear card. Their players have some injuries, and even if Salah doesn't start, the starting lineup can be guessed.

In the first half of the game, Manchester United took the lead.

Manchester United's kick-off games this season often directly play fast breaks.

The team with the most goals in the first 5 minutes of the Premier League this season is Manchester United. This is Manchester United's opening fast break tactic.

Generally speaking, some teams enter the game state quickly, and some teams enter the game state slower.

This is actually not good or bad. For example, Real Madrid during the Champions League three consecutive championships often conceded goals at the beginning of La Liga, but they can always rely on their abundant physical strength and offensive high pressure to reverse the game in one go in the second half. return.

As for Manchester United, the fast break is simple and efficient.

Often it's just a long pass from the backcourt, looking for Lin Kedi in the frontcourt.

If Lin Kedi is used as a fulcrum, not only can he get the ball, but he can also immediately turn around and attack.

It is very difficult to turn around after picking up the ball with your back.

However, Lin Kedi's foot skills are excellent, and his body flexibility is also very strong. He often stops the ball with his back, and then turns around to wipe it.

Of course, if you encounter a flexible and short central defender, Lin Kedi will not be so reckless and hard-working. A teammate crossed the header and scored.

In short, Link's countermeasures against defensive players are very, very high.

This time, when facing Van Dijk, the top central defender, it can be said that he is the world's first defender, Lin Kedi's tactics are also different.

Take the ball with your back, stop the ball, and make a gesture to turn to the right.

The action is very real, even if Van Dijk is a top top central defender, he can't tell the difference, or as a defensive player at this time, he himself dare not bet, so Van Dijk moved his right foot.

Lin Kedi seemed to have eyes behind his back. He kicked the ball to the left with his right foot in mid-air. Lin Kedi's left foot seemed to attract the ball with his own magnet, and then the ball seemed to stick to Lin Kedi. It was the same on Kedi's left foot, followed Lin Kedi's turn, and wiped it from the left side.

Then Link made a trip forward.

Just dodged a position, left Van Dyke behind, and then flicked the outside of the left foot.

The ball flew into the net from the armpit of the striking Alisson.

1 is better than 0!

Lin Kedi scored 1 goal at the start.

Lin Kedi's first double red goal! (end of this chapter)
