Chapter 214 Contest of Different Levels

Big Bear can see very clearly in the restricted area, and Li Liang is now in deep trouble.

Daxiong, who has played in the top domestic arena for 10 years and has rich experience in international competitions, can see at a glance that the opponent's mixed defense of man-to-man and zone has completely contained Li Liang.

He had no choice but to realize that this was Li Liang's biggest "weakness".

It’s just that it’s different from when they faced the loose Manchester City reserve team at the Etihad. These more powerful opponents in front of them successfully found out this “soft spot” with strict overall tactics through adjustments during the halftime break. And it was magnified exponentially in front of everyone!

This scene seemed familiar to him.

The few teammates with outstanding personal abilities in the midfield of my national team all turned off when they encountered similar midfield strangulation in the international arena.

But as soon as they return to the domestic arena, those guys immediately become all-powerful dragons and phoenixes, scoring goals, assisting and all kinds of explosive performances are almost omnipotent.

For this phenomenon, not only these good brothers of Daxiong, but also Daxiong himself can't understand it——

After Big Bear asked his world-renowned coach at the club, the other party only told him that Chinese players lack "creativity".

Seeing Li Liang getting more and more embarrassed, Daxiong couldn't help but wonder what the hell is this "creativity"?

At the Haicheng Ten Thousand People Stadium, at the Manchester City Base Academy Stadium, and at the Etihad Stadium, they all showed exciting super strength. Why did they fail at the Stamford Bridge Stadium?
……

Although the offense was weak due to Li Liang's restrictions everywhere, New York City, which continued to defend and counterattack, used Elora as a "surprise soldier" to successfully limit the retreating Traore.

Discrude used his unsparing running and tough physical confrontation to counteract the attack of Boga and Moses. The mid-lane combination of him and Elora is getting better

In one-on-one offense and defense, the teenager Pasalic is not Lampard's opponent at all. As a result, Falcao and Kennedy cannot get support in the frontcourt and have to retreat frequently to get the ball. Most of the troops on both sides are concentrated in the A fierce battle ensued in the midfield.

La Tanzio once again reminded Vieira: "Patrick, it is difficult for Lee to exert his full ability under the overall defense of this intensity...

It seems that we all overestimated him a bit! "

Vieira replied helplessly: "Yes, I may be too optimistic!

What shocked me the most in previous games was Lee's ability to create space on his own --

Facing the defense, he always seems to be able to figure out a way to deal with it to realize his plan.

It seems that the intensity of today's competition is a clear limit. The upper limit that Li can reach in the future is entirely determined by the strength and importance of the opponent. "

La Tanzio asked in a low voice: "Then do you still want to sign him?"

Vieira replied: "I thought we couldn't keep him!
Give him time and systematic training, I still believe that he will be able to gain a foothold in the major leagues in the future! "

La Tanzio nodded: "Okay, but I think it's time for him to rest now. Our midfield must be adjusted immediately."

Vieira was noncommittal, and Latanzio got up and arranged for another American midfielder on the bench, Connor Brandt, to immediately start warming up.

At this moment, not only Li Liang's offensive characteristics are unable to play, but his weaknesses in defense and physical confrontation have undoubtedly been revealed.

This is also the main reason why the sharp-eyed Mendes asserted that although Li Liang has excellent free kicks, he is just a "good-for-nothing".

Fortunately, with Elora and Discrude behind him, Li Liang, who was struggling more and more, made several defensive mistakes and did not cause a catastrophe.

During the game, Lampard and Villa ran over one after another, and they told their No. 37 that Li Liang had to stand still in the current stalemate situation and could not retreat any further!

Otherwise, the opponent will gain more and more space in the midfield, and the defensive formation of New York City's midfield will be compressed by the opponent again, and Li Liang must press up.

Li Liang was thinking hard about the countermeasures, and he didn't care about worrying that after being completely passive, many people's views on him would undergo a huge change.

He understands that in order to play according to Vieira's arrangement, he must find a way to break through the restrictions imposed on him by No. 5 (Mizga).

Through confrontation and careful observation, Li Liang found that Mizja was simply a defensive expert.

Even though the opponent's movements had begun to slow down in his own eyes, Li Liang was still not fully sure to break through him.

But my own observations were not in vain.

He first noticed that Mizja barely pressed the half court, even when the Blues were attacking.Even when teammates need support in the frontcourt, Mizja obviously has no intention of stepping forward to support.

If it is a deliberate arrangement by the coach, it will be a bit puzzling-if Mizgar can be more active in the offense in this situation, it will be easier to help the Blues break the balance locally.

At least Li Liang himself is not sure that he can easily break Mizja's possession in one-on-one defense.

In addition, Li Liang also made another important discovery - in about 10 minutes since he came off the bench, Mizja has not made a single tackle.

Even if Lampard was completely freed in the middle once, Mizja just stretched out his hand and completed a tactical foul.

This is the same as Li Liang himself.

Li Liang knows that it is purely because he has not practiced this technique, and it is difficult for a professional player like Mizga to defend in defense. Plus is a central defender!

If it is justifiable to say that he was not good at attacking after playing a cameo in midfield because of his background as a central defender, then it is indeed puzzling that there are almost no tackles under such a confrontation intensity!

Li Liang immediately speculated that the first Mizga's offensive mentality (workrates) is likely to be at a very low level, and the awareness and desire to attack are not as strong as other teammates.

Second, his tackling skills must be flawed to some extent, so it is either the coach's request, or his own decision——

Judging from the reaction of the opponent's coach on the sidelines, Li Liang tended that this must be a special arrangement that Mizga got before the court!

In other words, the opponent's coach believes that Mizja can completely limit himself with conventional defensive actions——

Mourinho told Mendes: "This No. 5 was recommended to me by Chelsea scouts in North America, and he played very well for the New York Red Bulls last season.

I watched it for half a year and the little guy wasn't up to the Premier League level, so he was training and playing mainly in the reserve team before I left.

It doesn't look like he's made any noticeable progress..."

Mendes smiled softly: "Even so, that number 37 still has nothing to do in front of this little guy——

Jose, they are not the same level of players at all! "
