What is a destructive midfielder?

Chapter 228 Playing football with the leader 2
Klopp and Guardiola in this historical period.

If you play a 4-3-3 formation, the biggest difference in the attacking phase is: the use of two full-backs.

Melon Manchester City has very high requirements for the running positions of the two full-backs:

Often one person has to move in to switch the central defender, and the other has to advance forward to become a late kick point. How should the midfielders and strikers play or how to play.

Liverpool is simpler and more complex:
The two full-backs moved closer to the flanks and advanced forward to participate in the attack, making full use of the width.

Subsequent changes in the running positions of midfielders and forwards must be carried out according to the changes in the running positions of the full-backs.

Did Henderson charge forward or retreat?

Are Mane and Coutinho going to the ribs or pulling the side?
Will Firmino retreat to the midfield to participate in the strangulation?

All the answers lie with the two full-backs.

Facing a powerful single-defense interception point like Li Kang.

Which way is more effective?

Liverpool, of course.

Emirates Stadium.

The black torrent crazily swept the red and white halfs.

"Liverpool's formation became 2-3-5!"

"The distance between Klein and Moreno's side lanes is so far away and they can be dispatched on a large scale. The two transfers were very successful."

"The speed of transmission is so-so, the prelude to heavy metal rock."

"Arsenal can only retreat quickly as a whole, and the number of midfielders is not enough!"

From God's perspective.

Li Kang observed that the passing speed of the opponent was not fast, but the movement positions of several attackers in the frontcourt changed very quickly.

It is the prelude to ready to speed up the attack at any time.

He has been studying Liverpool's game videos for the past few days, knowing that Klopp has polished the team's offensive end very well.

Subconsciously prepare to retreat for support.

Suddenly I saw Wenger raise his right hand, signaling him not to retreat too deep.

at the same time.

The diligent old scalper Giroud quickly returned to the defensive position.

Another arrangement that violated the laws of tactical defense.

Arsenal's defense was flattened.

Many people criticized Wenger's weak coaching ability.

In fact, his pre-match deployment is very strong. After all, he is the coach who won the Premier League's 49 unbeaten gold cups.

Can turn mediocre ingredients into a plate of top four Premier League dishes every year
the other side.

Klopp scratched his beard.

Brain spins wildly:

'Arsenal obviously don't want to fight for midfield strangling, and the frontcourt players have no room to press forward and cut, so they can easily let us squash? '

'Why is that kid walking? '

'What's the meaning? '

The Arsenal fans in Islington were also a little confused.

This kind of defensive tendency similar to "putting the bus" is not beautiful football at all!
How can Liverpool attack the hinterland so easily?
Why didn't our Mr. [-] million participate in the defense?
The Barcelona midfielder still has to carry out high-frequency pressing!
Gradually, boos came from the home stands.

The Liverpool fans sang "You will never walk alone", encouraging the Red Army players on the field!
"Mane ran to the ribs!"

"Klein and Moreno stretched wide on the two flanks!"

"Extreme fan width!"

"Get up to speed!"

Coutinho suddenly entered the penalty area and at the same time received a through ball from Wijnaldum.

No frontal interception to lure Koscielny.

Giroud sticks his ass up!
can't drag,
Slowing down the offensive rhythm is a taboo for Liverpool!

Cazorla is also coming to help defend!

Snapped!
The Brazilian genius flicked around, but finally gave up on the breakthrough, and knocked Klein on the outside of the penalty area near the baseline with a flower-arranging kick!

Another snap.

The football roared into the Arsenal penalty area!

"Dangerous!"

"Ah! It's a pity, the power of the pass is a bit strong, the line is erratic, and no one touches the ball!"

"The football almost slipped off the line, but Moreno took control."

"Liverpool are going to reorganize their attack."

"If it is a continuous positional warfare, the gunners are not so afraid of the Red Army."

"Liverpool's striker trident is very space-hungry."

Time passed minute by minute.

Under Klopp's tactical framework, Mane, Firmino, and Coutinho will not easily lose the ball when playing positional warfare.

When football reaches everyone's feet, different offensive details can be derived.

Mane's ball-holding characteristics, when not blasting, is a "feint-type" organization, the pass is very confusing, the pass is far but not close, people in this historical period have ignored his pass control ability.

The characteristic of Coutinho is the authentic No. 10 position. From time to time, he cuts to the center to catch the ball.

After all, he is a super genius produced by Inter Milan's youth training. During his growth, the players who played with him were triple crown superstars. Barcelona has been coveting him for a long time.

What about Firmino?
He is more like a hub for the two to exchange possession and switch offensive routines.

only.

The overall offense is never a matter of three people.

"The striker trained by Klopp is really unbearable for ordinary teams."

"It is definitely the firepower of the Champions League semi-finals!"

"It's just that the chemical reaction between the midfielder and the left and right full-backs is not strong."

"Wenger's defense is very targeted!"

"Liverpool's attack always misfires on Moreno's side."

"If Coutinho focuses on Klein's direction, he will fall into Arsenal's arms again."

Wenger kept looking at his watch, still signaling Li Kang not to retreat too deep.

There were boos at the Emirates Stadium.

Islington fans are not happy:

'[-] million bought back a uncle?Haven't seen the team being beaten so badly?What about the agreed-upon late midfield debut?Why not back on defense. '

Arsenal fans around the world were expecting something.
-
[Although it was a bit against the rules of tactics and played very un-Arsenal, there was no problem with Wenger's defensive deployment. 】
-
[The pressure is not high. Leave Li Mingdeng in the middle and Morata in the front line. It is a traditional counterattack support. 】
-
[Not only that, you look at Wijnaldum's running position, he didn't dare to penetrate too deep, he had to pull out to follow Li Mingdeng from time to time, and the change of direction weakened the number of Liverpool's offensive participants. 】
-
[When our unit plays football with the leader, the leader does not need to participate in the defense. 】
-
[Well, pay attention, the opposing players are also particularly afraid of leaders. 】

Morata was cruising between the two Liverpool central defenders, looking back at the backcourt from time to time.

He hasn't learned to talk trash during this period, nor has he learned to "accidentally injure" his opponent.

Temporarily dubbed by the fans: Bingqingyujie.

Lovren and Klavan are a bit uncomfortable: Whenever the ball in the backcourt is unstable, the Spanish striker's running tendency becomes particularly weird, and the starting speed is particularly explosive, which feels very tricky.

side of the field.

Klopp also finds it tricky.

There is nothing wrong with his tactical system.

Compared with last season, "ineffective running" has been greatly reduced, and the offense in the midfield is also better at controlling the rhythm.

but.

Several ingredients in this dish are not good!

It can't meet the lower limit of Liverpool's offensive needs.

"Arnold is still young, this game cannot be his Premier League debut."

"I also need an inside forward who is good at ripping the weak side."

Between thoughts.

The Liverpool coach couldn't help pulling his hair in distress.

The 18th minute of the game.

Moreno's ball was intercepted by Walcott.

Arsenal sounded the clarion call to counterattack.

Fortunately, Lallana countered in time and regained the ball.

The 26th minute of the game.

Moreno was "beaten up" again.

Arsenal blew the horn of counterattack again.

Fortunately, Lallana and Mane fought back in time to regain the ball.

The 34th minute of the game.

Coutinho receives a pass from his teammate on the edge of the penalty area.

He observed that Moreno ran out of space, but did not dare to pass the ball for a while.

Facing big jirou's arched ass.

The Brazilian genius quickly turned and circled, tearing out space for a long-range shot.

In an instant.

Arsenal's defense quickly shrunk.

There were bursts of cheers from the stands on all sides.

"Whoa, this forward rocking motion! This position!"

"He finally has a chance to make a big move!"

"One cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops come to meet each other."

One trick is fresh, eat all over the sky.

Coutinho's cloud piercing arrow is a great stunt in today's football!

Bah!
The football was accompanied by a loud bang.

Like a sharp arrow.

Roaring through the dense red and white crowd.

Towards the far corner of the Arsenal gate.

The visual impact exploded.

At the moment of a thousand troops.

The Czech with a tank cap on his head stretched out, holding the ball out with both fists.

Arsenal's goalkeeper at this time is Petr Cech!
"Miraculous long-range shot!"

"Miraculous save!"

"I would also like to praise Koscielny and Mertesacker for their positions!"

"Monreal made a big foot clearance!"

"It's a pass!"

"It's another counterattack!"

Liverpool has a "five-second rule" after losing the ball in the frontcourt.

This is the essence of Klopp.

Ordinary opponents will be overwhelmed if they rush to counterattack.

It's a pity that Wenger's Arsenal will not pursue the ultimate counterattack speed too much.

30 meter area.

Walcott received the ball and was in no rush to pass it straight to Morata.

Instead, he was observing Li Kang's position.

Wijnaldum did not dare to retreat significantly, but stuck behind Arsenal's No. 10.

"Don't worry."

"Arsenal's counterattack is not fast, but very steady."

"When Cazorla comes up, we must speed up!"

"oops!"

"Li Kang made a false run and shook Wijnaldum away!"

"Walcott passed the ball!"

In Li Kang's field of vision, a curly-haired figure with a slightly fat body appeared.

Platini.

The pride of France.

It did not bring about an improvement in attributes, but conveyed the easiest way to get rid of it.

He follows the tendency of phantoms.

Shake to the left.

Wijnaldum then moved two steps horizontally, halfway through the movement.
Li Kang has already drilled out from the space on the right!

The audience was shocked!

"Smart."

"Chic."

"Can a fake run and turn back shake out the most suitable space for receiving the ball?"

"Terrifying observation skills, terrifying center of gravity adjustment speed!"

Klopp is not panicking at all.

He had a premonition of this situation.

Li Kang can get rid of Wijnaldum, but he can't get rid of Henderson, let alone Lovren and Klavan!
That's right.

Wenger's slow counterattack speed is no longer in line with the mainstream of the Premier League.

In the process of counterattack, you have to wait for your teammates to come up to pass and cut?
We can't stop Li Kang's ball. We can also drag other players back to the defense.

Henderson's paper strength is weak, but he will explode in a Liverpool jersey.

Facing Arsenal No. 10, which is famous in Europe.

He did not step down easily.

drag.

and so on.

force.

Li Kang sensed Cazorla behind him.

Tap your heel lightly.

The two seem to have a tacit understanding.

The football rolls back two meters, forming a graceful arc at the feet of the Arsenal magician.

"Very, very critical mid-lane transition!"

"It's only now that we understand why Wenger insisted on leaving Li Kang in the midfield!"

"It's not a gorgeous Chuanqie!"

"It's a one-shot kill!"

"When did Morata pull the side?"

"No offside!"

"Lovren and Krawan can't keep up with him!"

"The explosive speed of the Spanish striker is too strong!"

"Rush over!"

"Single knife!"

side of the field.

The assistant coach Boulder looked confused: "Boss, how did Morata play at the top level in the world? He was still playing in the European Cup."

Wenger said seriously:

"Morata's childhood dream was to join Arsenal."

"Must know our football philosophy well."

The other side.

Klopp commanded the players anxiously.

He is annoying.

The frontcourt offense cannot be perfectly effective due to the individual abilities of some players.

The backcourt defense was perfectly arranged, but it was easily torn apart.

Can not give up!

And trustworthy players!
Goalkeeper - Karius!

Emirates Stadium.

Cheers and boos mixed together.

Morata rushed all the way to the front of Liverpool's penalty area!
Karius is not afraid of him.

He cooks by himself, but only when facing Li.

As for Arsenal's other attackers?
I have already made preparations before the game: down to everyone's preferred foot and shooting habits!
Morata suddenly felt smarter.

The blocking position of the opponent's goalkeeper is perfect.

He didn't give himself a good shooting angle.

If you slow down and adjust your feet at this time, will you be caught up by Lovren and Klavan behind you?
This is still secondary.

He seems to have lost a trace of confidence in shooting.

How to do it?

From the corner of the eye, he saw Li Kang's running position.

He immediately lowered his head and found a perfect answer: widen it!

"Why didn't you shoot?"

"What a waste of opportunity."

"Don't you observe your teammates' running positions?"

"Karius' blocking movement is perfect, don't give Morata any chance!"

"Textbook-style anti-single sword."

"Morata took the ball to the side!"

in the lens.

Morata was soon surrounded by three people near the bottom line of the penalty area.

Seeing that the ball is about to be lost.

Li Kang entered the penalty area, followed by Henderson.

In the field of vision, Platini's phantom reappeared.

There is still no improvement in ability.

Instead, it points out the most suitable position to catch the ball.

An analysis of the ball path in the penalty area that is more accurate than God's perspective?

wrong.

This ability is close to prediction.

Snapped!
A football emerges from the crowd.

It was a line that no one expected.

Li Kang got rid of Henderson in a circle.

Pad out the left foot.

Natural shooting action.

Hit the empty door!

2:0! ! !

"Wow!"

"This ball is beautiful!"

"It's Li Kang again! Scored twice!"

"The ball reaches the person!"

"The connection between Mr. Two Hundred Million and Mr. Half Billion!"

"The chemical reaction between the two is so gorgeous!"

"Morata assisted, Li Kang broke through the empty goal and helped Arsenal expand their lead!"

"All of Wenger's deployments that violated the tactical rules allowed Li Kang to master the fullest offensive resource allocation in the frontcourt!"

"Created space for the teammates who instigated the counterattack!"

"Created an opportunity for the teammate to pass the ball behind!"

"Provided finishing support for frontline teammates!"

"Arsenal is like a delicate pistol in his hands."

Studio.

Barrages are flying.
-
[Fix Li Mingdeng on the offensive end. It's also very strong. 】
-
[He played so easily on the field. 】
-
[Arsenal's two hundred million dollars are worth it, and the style of the entire counterattack is different. 】
-
[Wenger abandoned beautiful football, but the process of these two goals is also beautiful. 】
-
[It's still too risky. If the backcourt can't withstand Liverpool's attack, it will be over. It can only be said that Arsenal's pre-match arrangements are very sufficient, grabbing Moreno's side to disrupt the offensive. 】
-
[Pay attention to the slow motion, Karius is really not bad, he and Lovren and Klavan resolved this single-handedly from the situation of the scene. 】
-
[Morata is also a monster. Being forced by three people, he can still send such a tacit pass, 5000 million euros!Where can I find such a suitable striker for Arsenal! 】
-
[Arsenal's dominance, if there is no injury, you can win the Premier League championship!The Champions League can overturn the Cosmos team! 】
-
【what to do?Will Liverpool be slaughtered. 】
-
[Really don't worry, if you watch Liverpool's game, you will know that the second half is the moment of reversal. 】

Islington fans blushed.

They were still denouncing Li Kang's 'defensive attitude' ten minutes ago.

Now it can only be covered up with more crazy cheers.

"Lee!!!"

Li Kang was surrounded by his teammates.

Even Sanchez, who has a grievous thigh, subconsciously has the consciousness of being a good pendant.

It turned out that it was so simple to let Arsenal lead the score.

"Li, your running position is amazing. I wanted to wait for Giroud to come up before passing the ball!"

"Bastard, if Giroud ran up, Mane would have been standing by his doorpost!"

"See? Just follow my way of thinking and help Li create space."

Li Kang inadvertently remembered the game videos of other teams:

Platini's thinking may not be generally applicable to any opponent.

If you attract most of the defenders during the offensive process, then Arsenal still have a lot of offensive points in the frontcourt. Sanchez, Giroud, Walcott, Cazorla, etc., as well as the crowd on the bench player.
in short.

This Arsenal's future competitiveness in the Champions League is very strong.

Beneath the Liverpool goal post.

Karius took off his gloves, tugged at his blond hair in distress, and his handsome face was clouded with sorrow.

This is his debut in the Premier League.

Before the end of the first half, he was beaten by Li Kang and lost his worth.

Henderson took responsibility for conceding the ball on himself:
"It was my problem. I didn't realize that the way Morata passed the ball could be so weird."

"Cheer up, we are only two goals behind, there is still game time!"

side of the field.

Wenger applauded enthusiastically.

Boulder hugged the players on the bench.

"Boss, there seems to be a substitution at Liverpool."

"Is that the young general named Arnold?"

"Oops, he hasn't played in the Premier League yet! The coaching staff doesn't have enough information on him."

the other side.

Klopp embraced a curly-haired young player, talking loudly.

"Listen, I'm going to replace Moreno with you."

"No, no, no, I won't let you kick left."

"You play Klein's position and let him go to the left."

"We were not far from scoring the whole first half!"

"Good boy, don't ask such stupid questions, just do it like you usually do in training!"

The tactical board fell to the ground.

The Liverpool coach couldn't help but punched Arnold in the chest.

"Turn them over!"
