Go back to the past and be the king

Chapter 160 Doorman Neuer

When the two armies clash, the most important thing is morale.

The stadium is like a battlefield, and morale is also a very important part.

So before the game, Kurtz started his morale-boosting lecture in the locker room, which obviously didn't work very well.

Although everyone didn't have that kind of morale bursting, they didn't have low morale either.

When the team went out, Kurtz specifically called Lu Chen to stop.

"Lu, you should focus more on defense in this game. Our first home game of the new season must not be lost!"

Lu Chen nodded, indicating that he understood.

Although Lu Chen is now in the midfielder's position, he is not a typical B2B midfielder, and his main role is still on the offensive side.

And Kurtz's game is to use Lu Chen as a B2B (Box to Box) midfielder, that is, a midfielder from his own penalty area to the opponent's penalty area.

What are the advantages of a good B2B midfielder?
The first thing is to be able to run, to be able to cover the area between the two restricted areas, not to mention the average of [-] or [-] kilometers per game.

Second, if you don't occupy the ball, hold the ball and pass more, that is the core midfielder's style of play.

The third goal ability is best to be strong, otherwise you will be regarded as an undead engineer.

Obviously, except for the second point, Lu Chen can be regarded as an excellent B2B midfielder.

Lu Chen was trained as the core in 1860, and his possession of the ball must be indispensable.

How to handle the relationship between offense and defense is the most urgent problem that Lu Chen needs to solve at the moment, although Kurtz does not always put Lu Chen in the midfield position.

After the game started, Lu Chen really couldn't take good care of the defense.

For example, after losing the ball in the frontcourt, he will fight back on the spot instead of looking for teammates to help defend.

It's not that he didn't make the right choice to do so, but that he didn't put himself in the right place.

For example, in the 10th minute of the game, the ball passed by Sven Bender to Lu Chen was intercepted by the opponent.

Lu Chen immediately went up to fight back.

Lu Chen's defensive ability is indeed good, but that is in a one-on-one situation.

There aren't many opportunities for you to go one-on-one in a real game.

Zambrano passed the ball before Lu Chen reached him, and Rakitic made a long pass after receiving the ball.

It is said that Rakitic was a talented boy before coming to Schalke. As a result, under the training of the former Schalke coach Ruten, Rakitic played more and more stupidly, and did not meet everyone's expectations at all. This season is also the most anticipated rookie in the Bundesliga.

But no matter what, Rakitic's strength is still here.

His long pass is still very accurate, not to mention precise guidance, it can be almost inseparable.

After receiving Zambrano's pass, he did not wait for Lu Chen to come up and made a long pass to the frontcourt player.

Kuran stopped the ball with his chest, leaned on the 1860 player who came up to defend, and stuffed the ball to Farfan.

At this time, Farfan happened to be unmarked, so he directly kicked the goal.

As a result, Farfan pursued the angle too much, and the ball brushed the post and went straight out of the baseline.

The reason for this result is not only the outstanding ability of Schalke's players, but also partly due to Lu Chen.

Kurtz's tactical arrangement for him was to defend, but after losing the ball, he went up too hastily.

As a result, he was directly pierced behind him, and the opponent hit the 1860 penalty area with a long pass.

Kurz's ideal state is that Lu Chen retreats to the midfielder after the team loses the ball, that is, remains at the same level as Schweigler.

In this way, the team can organize an effective defense after losing the ball, and the problem of the defense line being penetrated will not exist.

Lu Chen also knew that he made a mistake, so he quickly made a change.

"To be honest, I feel that Lu Chen's current position is more useful to the team than playing forward!" The fans quickly saw Lu Chen's current role in the team.

Although Lu Chen doesn't like his current position, he has to say that he has done a very good job.

Under Lu Chen's a lot of running and physical interference, none of Schalke's midfielders could hold the ball steadily.

Otherwise, the pass will be lost, or the pass will be missed, or Lu Chen will cut the ball off.

"As you can see, Lu Chen in this game seems to be used by Kurtz as an engineer-type player. I didn't expect his role to be so obvious. Schalke's offense was completely disrupted by him alone. I'm going to be paralyzed." The narrator was surprised.

Lu Chen is like a magic box, you never know what is inside after you open it.

"I really didn't expect that Lu Chen's 17-year-old body could hide such an astonishing ability. He is like an immortal camel, and the entire stadium is covered by him."

Lu Chen's performance in the entire workplace is really not like a B2B midfielder, but like an engineer who can't die.

There is no trace of offensive ability, but the defensive ability is very strong.

This doesn't mean that Lu Chen's offensive ability can be forgotten.

In the No.403 minute of the game, Lu Chen stole the ball from Rakitic in the midfield and knocked him horizontally to Lars Bender. Lu Chen quickly ran forward.

Maybe it's been a long time since I showed my speed, and everyone has forgotten about Lu Chen's speed.

Schalke 04 actually left their backcourt so empty, which gave Lu Chen enough space to run.

For a fast player like Lu Chen, you can't give him space to start, otherwise, the only consequence is fouling!
However, if the player's speed is fast enough, it will be too late for the defensive player to foul.

Just like Lu Chen's breakthrough.

Lars Bender made a direct long pass. When Lu Chen's speed was unstoppable, he was single-handed after receiving the ball near the penalty area.

However, Lu Chen met a wild and informal goalkeeper.

When Neuer saw Lu Chen accelerate, he had already attacked at high speed. After Lu Chen received the ball, he was already outside the penalty area.

Like a sliding tackle like a defender, Neuer tackled the ball and brought Lu Chen down.

As expected of a goalkeeper, his fierce tackle not only did not foul, but also effectively stopped Lu Chen's attack.

The teammates rushed back in time, and then the big foot kicked the ball out of the boundary, and the crisis was really resolved.

Lu Chen lay on the ground, looking at Neuer who had gotten up.

His heart was full of fighting spirit.

Competing with these powerful players is the real meaning of my rebirth, abuse of food or something is not what I want.

It is said that after Neuer got up, he suddenly felt a gaze from behind him looking at him, and he turned his head and looked over.

It happened to meet Lu Chen's burning eyes.

Neuer shuddered. This Asian looks quite normal, so he must be gay, right?
Thinking of this, Neuer hurried back to his penalty area.

Just kidding, being seen by gay guys is no joke.
