Li Kang did not watch the game video, but took the time to train.
How to play Arsenal?
The famous Premier League coaches have given the answers, just go back and copy your homework.
Especially Southampton, their coaching staff's tactical analysis is the most professional, and they don't have high requirements for players' abilities.
If the homework cannot be copied.
That shows that Arsenal during this period...were invincible.
Wenger's tactical framework has not changed much in recent years, but the characteristics of the players are very distinctive. Sanchez and Cazorla both have the ability to change the game.
Especially Sanchez, his body is super strong and his center of gravity is much lower than his own.
There is still some time before the 1/8 knockout rounds.
Leverkusen still has to face the test of the league.
............
Four days later.
Bundesliga match day is coming.
Leverkusen will face consecutive away games.
The opponent in the ninth round is North Rhine's mortal enemy - Cologne!
In recent years, frictions between the two teams have been extremely frequent and intensified.
In the 2009 World Cup qualifying match, "Prince of Cologne" Podanoski slapped Ballack in the face! The German team was embarrassed in front of the whole world.
Ballack was still the soul of Leverkusen back then.
In the 2010 Rhine derby, Cologne players returned to the locker room after the game and found that their belongings had been looted. They thought the thief was a Leverkusen fan!
In 2012, a certain Bayer Leverkusen player was violently beaten by Cologne fans while experiencing the local customs in downtown Cologne.
There are too many off-field friction incidents.
Every time the two clubs meet again, the conflict on the court is particularly fierce!
.....
On the training ground.
Dino just finished reading the roster.
Then he pulled Old Man Top aside and whispered:
"Boss! After discussion, the coaching staff unanimously agreed that in this game, Lee should be protected! Let Calhanoglu do it!"
"Well, what you said makes sense."
Dino hesitated for a moment and continued to ask: "Boss, Cologne's offense is very strong this season. They signed a very efficient forward - Modeste! If the situation is not right..."
Old Man Top waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, I will send Li to appear."
...
At three o'clock in the afternoon.
Li Kang and his teammates took the club bus to Cologne.
The distance between the two clubs is approximately 20 kilometers.
The drive is very short.
Most of the teammates were closing their eyes and concentrating.
Calhanoglu grabbed the members of the coaching staff and kept discussing tactical details.
Although he has many shortcomings, when he serves as the core of the midfield, his pre-match preparations are still very active.
"Cologne's defensive details are much better than Dortmund's. They are aware of the weakness of their defenders' slow turn, so they deploy the defense line farther back!"
"The distance between the midfield line and the back line is very short, we can't penetrate through the middle!"
"But don't worry, I will defeat them!"
Dino sounded a little confused. He felt that the other party said a lot but also said nothing.
Calhanoglu returned to his seat.
Looking out the window at the magnificent Cologne Twin Towers Cathedral.
He couldn't help but secretly clenched his fists.
I will be on the west coast of North Rhine, Phoenix Nirvana!
.........
As the bus approached the city, its speed gradually slowed down.
Li Kang looked curiously at the ragged people on the street, including old people and children.
Teammates could not imagine such a wealthy city and such an embarrassing scene.
Cramer said: "They are not residents here. In September this year, hundreds of thousands of people poured into North Rhine..."
Havertz frowned and interrupted: "Not hundreds of thousands, but hundreds of thousands... In short, my family said not to run around in the near future and pay more attention to safety."
Brandt patted his chest: "The safest place is the dormitory. There are more than a dozen electric baton security guards!"
Everyone laughed.
"The Bayer Group and Leverkusen are the safest places in North Rhine!"
...
The club bus slowly drove into the Rhine Energy Stadium.
The stadium was rebuilt to Premier League standards.
The style is very close to Old Trafford.
"Damn, what smells so bad?"
"Boss! It's sheep shit. I used to herd sheep when I was a kid!"
As soon as everyone got out of the car, they saw Cologne staff leading a ram wearing a red vest passing by.
Cologne's mascot is not a cartoon doll, but a live goat named Hennes VIII. He is nine years old and lives a more comfortable life than a human. The club bought several female goats to accompany him.
Leverkusen's mascot is Brian the lion. In the 1950s, a senior member of the club proposed purchasing a live lion. The proposal was rejected only after the intervention of the Bayer Group.
...........
Pre-match press conference.
A reporter asked: "Mr. Top, I am a reporter from "Ruhr News". You have not included Li Kang in the lineup for two consecutive games! Is it because of the transfer during the winter break..."
Old Man Top's face darkened. He hated such provocative questions.
"I haven't heard any news about his transfer during the winter break. It's just a rumor! Li is only 17 years old this year. The club should pay attention to protecting him. Messi also suffered a serious injury when he represented the Barcelona first team when he was 17!"
"What do you mean? I didn't compare Li to Messi, you nonsense reporters!"
"In the next round of games, Li will return to the lineup, and the coaching staff will arrange everything. You don't need to worry about toilet paper newspapers!"
the other side.
Cologne coach Stogel is praising his super forward.
"Modeste has the strength to compete for the Bundesliga Golden Boot!"
"He is the most comprehensive front-line killer I have ever seen!"
"Leverkusen will see how scary he is!"
...
RheinEnergy Arena.
The stands on all sides were filled with a restless and violent atmosphere.
Countless scarlet extreme sexual slogans were held high!
Fireworks were set off from time to time, accompanied by all kinds of angry curses, showing the Cologne fans' welcome to their mortal enemy!
"Hennes VIII" walked around the court like a king inspecting his territory.
In the players tunnel.
The Cologne players were all in a bad mood.
Calhanoglu was a little embarrassed when he was stared at.
Last season, he led Leverkusen to a 5-1 home victory over Cologne.
But now the opponent's player lineup has undergone a major change!
Why do you still hate yourself so much?
Rabbi Bella kept his mouth shut tightly, and he had to choose someone to talk trash to.
Or he's a famous star like Alves who cares about his face!
Or skinny young players like Lingard and Weigl!
Those bad guys in Cologne... let's forget about it.
.......
"CTV5! CTV5! Good evening, viewers!"
"Welcome to the ninth round of the 2015/16 Bundesliga season!"
"Cologne vs. Leverkusen!"
“It’s a hot North Rhine derby!”
"I am the commentator for this game, Duan Xuan!"
"The following introduces you to the rosters of both teams!"
"Cologne, wearing the white jersey, has a 4-4-2 lineup!"
