Cruyff sat in front of the TV, surrounded by a bunch of legendary Ajax players.
A fireplace warms the large living room.
He said with a pure accent from the suburbs of Amsterdam: "Have you seen the first round of the game? Mr. Michelov and Mr. Reynolds and I inherited his football philosophy!"
"Look at this goal! His 17 is as fast as mine! Yeah! And balanced on both feet! Bounce!"
As he spoke, his shoulders began to shrug.
Word order is confusing!
This is a sign of getting sick again!
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Van Gaal was sitting in the corner with a disdainful expression on his face. The two had been quarreling with each other for many years, but they were both products of Ajax's youth training, so they still managed to get together occasionally.
What disease do you have?
When Cruyff was a player, he was once considered to have a serious mental illness, which caused Michels to scratch his head and spend a lot of money to see several doctors.
To this day, old friends still believe that his psychological problems have not been cured.
The signature move is the crazy shrug!
Rijkaard covered his forehead and repeated the classic saying of the last century: "Maradona can win with his own talent alone, and Mr. Cruyff can win by changing the team's tactics."
Bergkamp quickly added: "Yes! That kid is just like a teacher!"
Cruyff's shoulders stopped shaking and he nodded with satisfaction: "Who can advance?"
Everyone hesitated for a moment and said in unison: "Leverkusen."
.....
Bernabeu training base.
Real Madrid stars conclude tactical meeting.
Bell packed his backpack in a hurry, his thoughts already flying to the golf course.
Modric patted him on the shoulder.
"Luka, what's wrong with you calling me? This is not Tottenham. We don't need to discuss the details. Wolfsburg has no ability to make a comeback."
That's what it says.
Bale still stopped and took Modric's scratch paper.
He has excellent academic performance and came from the Southampton youth academy, which has the most advanced tactical education. After a quick glance, he understood the intentions of his old teammates.
"I've seen it! No problem, see you tomorrow... eh? Which team do you want to meet in the quarter-finals?"
Modric thought for a moment and smiled: "Leverkusen."
.....
Bayer Arena.
Li Kang symbolically raised his hand in celebration, which made many Leverkusen fans cry with joy!
West Germans are easily infected by big scenes, otherwise they would not have contributed to the rise of the Third Reich!
Havertz stepped forward in confusion and asked doubtfully: "Li, I got an assist in the Champions League? Scoreboard! It really counts on me!"
The teammates laughed.
The celebration didn't last long, and the referee urged everyone to return to their positions quickly.
The coaching staff finally discussed the results: "Boss! We think..."
Old man Top blurted out: "Shou! Let Havertz pester Wilshere!"
Dino suddenly realized: "The two of them also have an unparalleled sense of space and rhythm changes when holding the ball!"
....
The circle reopens during the game.
The number of people pressing in the frontcourt of Leverkusen has been greatly reduced.
While maintaining the formation and retreating.
Havertz is in hot pursuit of Wilshere.
There is no tackling action.
There was no deliberate interception.
It is simply sticky and hinders the opponent's ball speed.
After several conversations.
Wilshere is a little annoyed.
He couldn't get rid of the 16-year-old.
You can't fight with your body alone.
I don’t understand what the German children eat these days. They are much taller than me!
"Haverts may not have much effect if he marks other people!"
"It's a coincidence that I happened to meet Wilshere."
"The rhythm of holding the ball is very similar between the two! No one can fool the other!"
"Duizi tactics! Tian Ji's horse racing!"
"Leverkusen gave up the counterattack point in the frontcourt! During this period, it will turn into a positional battle again!"
....
In fact, Havertz in his infancy is not suitable to serve as a frontcourt counterattack point.
Son Heung-min's injury has greatly reduced the team's overall counterattack efficiency, and even lost its breaking point.
After Leverkusen took the lead, they had no choice but to defend.
After Wilshere handed over the tandem work to Cazorla.
Arsenal's advancing speed was not greatly affected.
But when they advanced to the thirty-meter area, they encountered a problem.
There is no way to increase the speed of passing and cutting!
Havertz didn't care about the distance between his positions and stuck to Wilshere.
"The restricted British Emperor Star is far inferior to Ramsey in the first round!"
"Arsenal's passing system not only loses a playmaker, but also loses a passing point for the frontcourt attack!"
....
After receiving a pass from a teammate again.
Cazorla decided to do it himself and tear apart Leverkusen's midfield defense first!
Facing Kramer's interception!
His body swayed and moved to the left!
Forced Leverkusen's midfielder to make a steal!
in a blink.
Cazorla pushed with the inside of his left foot!
The football rolls to the right!
Cleverly avoid Kramer's long legs.
Another gentle push with your right foot!
When people pass, so does the ball!
Only a confused Kramer was left!
Arsenal fans burst into loud applause.
“Excellent!”
"Iniesta's signature skill: fried balls!"
"Cazorla said that I can do this trick too, and I have a different style of balancing my feet!"
....
"Fried Meatballs" has not stopped shocking the audience.
Cazorla has touched the ball again, trying to speed up!
It’s not about running speed!
It’s the speed of the pass!
The offensive movements of all frontcourt teammates are already under control!
He is the shooter's gearbox!
Arsenal's passing and cutting will strangle Leverkusen's defense!
carry!
Leverkusen's No. 10 blocked him in time.
Been waiting for a long time.
Against top players who are balanced on both feet, the Eye of Truth has little effect.
Because their center of gravity changes so quickly!
What Li Kang was waiting for was Cazor's first touch with the ball after passing by!
Boom!
I couldn't see clearly what happened between the two of them.
The football took off from the ground and flew out of the center circle!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Cazorla helplessly spread his hands towards his teammates.
"Li Kang's big-footed clearance is crucial! He destroyed the starting point of the passing attack!"
"It's a pity that all Arsenal's frontcourt players are already running!"
"It is unimaginable that a young midfielder from the Bundesliga can have a strategic thinking comparable to Xavi and Pirlo!"
Duan Xuan and He Wei still made sufficient preparations for the materials.
After the first round, most sports media made detailed analysis of the game.
They came to the same conclusion: The key to Leverkusen's ability to score two goals in a row lay in Li Kang's changes to the overall tactics!
We also specially dug out the thermal imaging pictures of all Leverkusen games this season.
"Superstars can gain advantages based on their personal abilities alone, and Li Kang can reverse the situation by changing the team's tactics."
Any sports media that doesn't praise Li Kang would be unprofessional.
.....
Time passed by minute by minute.
Arsenal's two playmakers were so entangled that they were unable to play the ball quickly.
Havertz and Wilshere.
Li Kangdui Zi Cazorla.
Leverkusen didn't want to score any more goals.
The entire team retreated to the front edge of the penalty area.
Wenger has a headache. There are very few people in the world who can limit Wilshere and Cazorla.
However, we encountered two nemesis in Leverkusen.
"Boss, I suggest that Bellerin be given the task of organizing the connection."
"With Giroud's fulcrum and Sanchez's impact, we will definitely be able to..."
"Damn it! He's from La Masia too! Why does Bellerin know how to pass the ball from high altitude!"
....
Bellerin was a little confused.
You have to return to Spain's second team and cooperate with your teammates to play the stuff that La Masia does.
He believes that according to the current situation, kicking and passing is the most concise and efficient way to attack.
After Giroud was fucked by Kissling several times, his mood fluctuated greatly and he was so anxious that he wanted to take off his pants again.
Sanchez put his hands on his hips and looked bitter. He was still thinking about advancing to the quarterfinals and meeting Barcelona to complete his revenge.
"Leverkusen's aerial defense is very strong! For two consecutive seasons, this team has only been hit by five jumping headers!"
"Brandt, the shortest player on the court, is also 1.85 meters tall!"
"I can't figure out their team building ideas! But it worked wonders against Arsenal!"
.....
Studio.
There are fewer and fewer barrages.
-[What? Leverkusen is really going to advance in an upset? The opponent is Arsenal!]
-[There is a saying in the art of war: go all out in one go, then fall again, and then lose all three! According to the away goal advantage rule, Arsenal must score at least two goals to have a chance to advance.]
- [I feel sorry for Professor, even if I sell a few less...it won’t be so!]
- [Arsenal is in the top 16 of the Champions League every year, and the opponents they encounter are always so difficult to crack! Juventus is stable! It has to be the most stable giant team in the five major leagues!]
...
Except for the goal shortly after the opening.
There were no highlights in the subsequent games.
The emotions of the fans from both sides gradually returned to calm, and they secretly prayed to the gods of their respective beliefs.
Relevant research shows that when humans watch team sports, their beliefs can be very devout or they can become wavering.
Beep! Beep beep~
The referee blew the whistle to end the first half!
Dino sighed: "Boss, I really didn't expect the game to be so easy!"
Old Man Top was silent for a moment, gently stroking the crushed mineral water bottle with his weathered palm: "There are many outstanding midfielders on the Arsenal bench, and Wenger has many tricks."
"Can't relax! No one can predict what will happen in the next minute of the game."
