Before these two people came into being, the "villains" in European football were relatively pure.
North Derong.
East Ibrahimovic.
Siruni.
Nan Pepe.
...
Real Madrid Sports City, Zidane is a little troubled.
Because Varane is injured.
The 23-year-old French central defender is the defensive Li Kang in the eyes of the European media.
"Varane's speed and comprehensiveness, as well as his overall view, naturally restrain a team like Leverkusen that values width!"
"It doesn't matter, we still have Pepe! He has recovered well recently, and Leverkusen's offense cannot pose a threat to Real Madrid."
Bertoni pointed at a bald man on the training ground and suggested.
Zidane said nothing.
far away.
Pepe is having one-on-one training with Ronaldo.
There is kindness in his eyes.
Many fans think that he has become more mature as he grows older.
Actually no.
A careful look at the matches of the three La Liga Super Leagues in recent years will reveal that the main reason is that encountering two "alternative" strikers in Diego Costa and Suarez made Monk Pepe realize that being fierce cannot solve all problems.
To hang out, you have to rely on your brains.
A series of leg sweeps and kicks Castro grabbed the hair, and Albin was hammered hard.
Hit Sandro with a volley knee and whipped Sissoko.
Cutting off the descendants and kicking Lago.
Elbow attack against Drogba in his later years.
Foot on Messi's palm.
All kinds of evil deeds have aroused the disgust of most neutral fans.
Pepe, who is 16 years old, is working hard to change in the direction of acting.
"Li is a flower in the greenhouse, he can't pass my test."
the other side.
Other Real Madrid teammates are practicing jumping around.
Casemiro asked: "How will we play in the second leg?"
Cross thought for a moment and said seriously:
"Ignore Li outside the thirty-meter area, because his teammates can't keep up."
"You only need to surround Li within the thirty-meter area, because his teammates can't escape the space."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Real Madrid led by two goals in the first round. If Leverkusen wants to advance, they will definitely attack aggressively in the second round.
The execution of overall tactics is based on the characteristics of all players.
It is impossible for Leverkusen to produce effective offensive coordination under Real Madrid's high pressure.
...
Bayer Leverkusen training base.
Old Man Top was worried:
"The two goals in the first round were entirely due to Li's personal ability. Now that Real Madrid understands his characteristics better, it will be difficult to replicate the goals in the second round..."
"Real Madrid has the best coaching staff on the planet and their players are not fools to stop thinking."
Dino was silent.
He had a premonition at this time: If Li was not sent to play, the German Cup would very likely be eliminated by Red Bull Leipzig.
A few days later.
Leverkusen, a small city with a population of only 200,000, suddenly saw an influx of countless Real Madrid fans.
Due to the rules on away ticket sales, only a small number of people were able to grab tickets for the away stands.
But it can't stop the enthusiasm of Real Madrid fans.
They gather in bars and squares to cheer for their teams.
Every corner is full of Spanish...
.....
Bayer Arena.
Seats in the home stands have been eliminated.
More than 30,000 fans crowded into the narrow stands.
They would rather stand for ninety minutes and cheer for Leverkusen!
"CTV5! CTV5! Good evening, viewers!"
"Welcome to the 2015/16 Champions League semi-final second leg!"
"Leverkusen vs. Real Madrid!"
"The score in the first round between the two sides was 4:2! Real Madrid has a two-goal lead!"
"Hey! Varane is injured and we see Pepe in the squad!"
"This is definitely a good thing for North Rhine!"
"So far in 2016, Real Madrid has only lost one game. At that time, Pepe played the entire game and conceded a shocking 6 times in the backcourt!"
"I am the commentator for this game: Duan Xuan!"
"I am He Wei."
"The following introduces you to the lineups of both sides."
"Real Madrid's formation is 4-3-3!"
"Goalkeeper:..."
...
Studio.
-[Leverkusen was given a suspended death sentence, right? Real Madrid still has a full lineup and won’t give them any chance to make a comeback.]
-[Absolutely, Li Mingdeng will definitely not be able to replicate the first round of one-horse-for-thousand battles. If the opponent is on guard, he will not just stand there and charge at you.]
-[Even if the score tonight is a draw or a small loss by one goal, Real Madrid can advance to the final.]
-[Can Leverkusen comeback 2:0?]
.....
The referee team led the players from both sides out of the tunnel.
The familiar Champions League theme song suddenly sounded.
The stands on all sides instantly erupted in cheers like a landslide and tsunami.
The black and red team flag flutters in the wind.
Mini flares exploded in every corner!
The entire Bayer Arena was shrouded in thick smoke and red light.
The radio above the stadium shouted the name of No. 10.
"Lee!"
"Lee!!!"
In the North Stand, a giant mosaic puzzle quietly fell!
It has the back of Leverkusen No. 10 printed on it!
"This may be Leverkusen's last game in the Champions League this season!"
"After fourteen years, they have once again reached the semi-finals of the Champions League! Unfortunately, this time they are so far away from the top of the Champions League!"
"North Rhine, will a miracle happen tonight?"
....
Old Man Top was pacing back and forth nervously.
Zidane sat calmly on the coaching bench.
Accompanied by the referee's whistle.
The game officially begins.
Leverkusen possession of the ball.
Kiessling hit the kick and hit Son Heung-min.
Under the pressure of Benzema, the latter decisively passed the ball back to Li Kang!
It's a pity that the passing force is not enough.
The football was intercepted by Ronaldo who was sprinting!
"Oops! Did Benzema use all his skills on defense? His interference ability is so good!"
"Real Madrid is going to get a head start!"
....
Cristiano Ronaldo strongly suppressed his chance to shoot from the 40-meter area.
He is no longer at his peak and has little time to squander the ball.
Snapped!
Faced with Li Kang's approach.
He quickly passed the ball to Modric who came forward to support him!
In Li Kang's field of vision, the shadow of the little pony instantly appeared!
I also want the red and black soul, Nesta!
Forty meter area.
The moment Modric stopped the ball.
Leverkusen No. 10 flies by like the wind.
Everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Isn't this tendency to steal too fierce?
...
There was no intense physical contact as expected.
Modric seemed to have sensed everything a long time ago.
After experiencing the first round of confrontation, he mastered all the characteristics of Li Kang.
Lift your left foot lightly.
The football slipped under his crotch easily.
Li Kang shoveled a piece of air.
The little pony phantom struggled in pain.
The red and black soul was furious.
"pretty!"
"What a master!"
"With a cool handicap, Modric regained the victory!"
....
Kroos appeared on the football circuit just in time.
No adjustment is required.
No need to look up.
The kick starts with a long freehand pass.
A beautiful rainbow suddenly appeared over the Bayer Arena.
The football accurately landed on the left side of the thirty-meter area.
The most wonderful thing.
Leverkusen's defense was caught off guard.
Marcelo relaxed and relaxed, eating Borges raw with ease, and went straight in!
All the Real Madrid midfielders and frontcourt players started to advance forward at high speed!
Van Dijk frantically directed his teammates' defensive positions, but it was too late.
Kramer and Jonathan Towers are out of position again.
The two double-teamed Marcelo, and while running... they tried to block the opponent's ball route.
It's not that easy.
Marcelo quietly increased his speed, and with a small change of direction, he changed the passing angle.
Boom!
The football roared into the penalty area.
Cristiano Ronaldo beats Van Dijk!
Leap high!
Throw your head and attack the goal!
This is a header close to MAX in football history.
"We have the ball!"
"Oh! Lenno's amazing attack!"
"Get rid of it!"
"Benzema's follow-up shot!"
"Pillar!"
"Bell!"
Cristiano Ronaldo's header is very powerful, and even Leno's amazing save cannot completely clear the ball!
The football stumbled onto the turf!
Benzema squeezed Bender away, fell to the ground and shot!
The door frame shook violently.
The football hit the post!
The bullet landed in the restricted area again!
Bell carried Hilbert hard and hit a volley!
This time.
Finally got it.
0:1!!!
"pretty!"
"The offense is so smooth!"
"The process is bumpy, but the result is happy!"
"Real Madrid, opener!"
"The total score is three goals ahead!"
"Although the tacit understanding and cooperation of the BBC front three are far inferior to Messi, Neymar, and Suarez, each person's individual ability has reached its peak!"
"The suspense of promotion is getting smaller and smaller!"
....
Studio.
Barrage flying.
-[No, it feels like Modric kicked Li Mingdeng into Pogba!]
-[Pogba is a super midfielder with all the attributes in the game. Is it useful? It’s useless, but he still gets played when he encounters midfield masters like Xavi, Pirlo, and Modric.]
-[How does Li Mingdeng play? He plays without the ball, but his teammates can’t hold the ball; he plays with the ball, but his teammates still can’t hold the ball.]
-[This calculation is so complicated. How many goals does Leverkusen need to score to advance?]
-[Sure enough, the two goals conceded in the first round were just Li Mingdeng who stunned Real Madrid. When Modric and Zidane were ready, Leverkusen was destined to be eliminated.]
-[Schalke 04 can score 3 goals against Leverkusen, how many more do you think Real Madrid can score tonight?]
-[If we continue playing like this, the firepower of Red Bull Leipzig will knock Leverkusen out of the German Cup.]
.....
Bell and his teammates briefly high-fived and hugged each other before returning to the center circle.
Everything came so easily.
It doesn’t feel like playing in the Champions League.
It's more like being a bastard in La Liga.
"Enjoy the game, this is the easiest time to deal with Li in my career..."
"Shh, the lip reader is watching you!"
"What are you afraid of? The toilet paper news said that I don't know Spanish. One day when I go to the American professional league, I will have to speak Spanish with my teammates!"
It's not just Bayer Arena.
The entire small town of Leverkusen, including Cologne Square twenty miles away.
At this time, the slogan of Real Madrid kept echoing.
“HalaMadrid!!!”
“HalaMadrid!!!”
“HalaMadrid!!!”
Leverkusen players lowered their heads.
Bender loudly encouraged his teammates... to no avail.
Li Kang shook his head, trying to dissipate all negative emotions.
He picked up the football from the net and ran back to the center circle.
The details of the fight with Modric are constantly replayed from God's perspective.
He was beaten into Pogba, Walcott, Akinfenwa...
far away.
Modric looked at Leverkusen's No. 10 figure in the distance.
There was a hint of regret in his expression.
....
Courtside.
Old Man Top sat slumped on the coaching bench.
My whole body kept shaking.
He couldn't think of any countermeasures.
All the arrangements made before the game disappeared in the face of Real Madrid's strong individual players' abilities.
Dino picked up a pen and frantically recorded the entire offensive process of Real Madrid on the tactical board.
The other side.
Bertoni celebrates wildly.
He tentatively suggested: "Can we play James? This game won't be a big problem."
Zidane clapped softly, smiled and shook his head.
"If James plays, we will lose."
....
The game resumes.
Leverkusen's ball was quickly intercepted by Casemiro who was pressing forward!
Real Madrid did not speed up the fast break this time.
Instead, he steadily controlled the rhythm in the middle.
Li Kang started running back and forth like crazy...
But the passing ability of Modric and Kroos is too good.
The two fully understood Li Kang's defensive characteristics in the first round and were able to resolve the opponent's pressure with ease.
Not to mention looking like Nesta.
Even if Maldini, Cannavaro, Baresi and other super defensive masters are possessed, you, Li Kang, are still alone.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! No matter how fast you are, it is not as fast as the ball.
With Marcelo and Carvajal moving forward.
Real Madrid has more ball-playing points on both wings of the center.
The weight of the ball is gradually shifted to the two wings.
It is simply impossible for Li Kang to tackle across the entire width of the court in a short period of time.
What about teammates?
The cross-pressing net formed by teammates made it impossible to touch the ball.
The overall strength gap is too big.
Real Madrid don't even need to activate any complex offensive tactics.
It's like playing a friendly match.
....
The 24th minute of the game.
Modric is like a matador holding a sharp blade and a red cloth.
Facing the menacing Li Kang.
The Real Madrid midfielder has mastered the timeline.
Gently lift the ball with the outer instep.
Leverkusen's No. 10 missed again.
Spacing and timing.
It cannot be compensated by improving all attributes.
Li Kang in front of him, in Modric's eyes...
There is no difference with Pogba, Walcott and Afenkinwa.
....
Cross, who stepped forward with support, took off in the air and sent a low and long pass.
"Precision guidance!"
"In this case, he can also catch the loopholes in Leverkusen's defense!"
"pretty!"
"Cavajal!"
"Not offside!"
.....
Van Dijk wants to quit.
It's a pity that at this stage, his consciousness and ability to predict were still unable to keep up with Carvajal, who was at the peak of his career.
The latter made a horizontal turn and tricked Leverkusen's two central defenders!
Then it exploded with extremely terrifying speed.
Rush to the landing point, lead the ball and explode!
Leno strikes!
He managed to get out of the front line of the penalty area.
Then he saw a dark shadow passing over his head lightly!
Turned his head.
The net was raised again.
0:2!!!
"too easy!"
"Cavajal understands Leno's characteristics very well!"
"A superb lob shot to score the goal!"
"When did he reach the forward position? Zidane gave the players too much freedom in this game!"
"No celebration!"
"We saw Carvajal raise his palms, no celebration!"
.....
The starting point of Carvajal's first-team career was at Bayer Leverkusen.
He did not run wildly to celebrate, but raised his palms high and silently walked back to the center circle.
VIP box stands.
The assistant smiled bitterly: "Boss, if we hadn't sold players in recent years... maybe we would have..."
Voller lit a cigar: "It's a different situation... How many more goals do we have to score before we advance?"
The little assistant had a dark look on his face: "Five balls!"
On the green field.
Modric pulled Li Kang up.
He wanted to say something, but in the end he shook his head.
Individual abilities are too insignificant in Europe's top technical and tactical competitions.
Especially a midfielder.
After being restricted, he couldn't even control the ball...
How to play an offensive and defensive game.
You don't even have a chance to break the situation.
....
The 32nd minute of the game.
Son Heung-min received a through ball from Lee Kang.
Boom!
A bald man shoveled the ball out of bounds!
Sun Xingmin failed to stop for a moment, and Pepe fell to the ground in "pain"!
"Yellow card!"
"No big problem."
"Pepe is no longer the warrior monk of the past, but a holy monk. He did not cause chaos and let the referee decide the result!"
"To add insult to injury."
"I couldn't open the offensive end, and I got a yellow card for making too many moves."
....
The 36th minute of the game.
Jonathan Tower was in the rib area and brought down Kroos with his hands and feet.
Ronaldo surprisingly did not stand in front of the foul spot.
Bell's three-step approach!
A fierce cloud-penetrating arrow was fired!
Pry open Leverkusen's door again!
0:3!!!
Bayer Arena was deathly silent.
Many Leverkusen fans began to leave early.
Real Madrid fans started celebrating in advance.
Fireworks and salutes!
Colorful confetti is flying in the sky over North Rhine.
....
There is no Istanbul.
The second half was still a bloodbath!
"I doubt this Real Madrid team will lose in 2016!"
"Losing two games at most!"
"Their dominance in European competition is just like AC Milan and Bayern Munich back then."
"Simple, efficient, and does not rely on any one core!"
"You won't need to drastically modify your tactics just because of someone's absence!"
"No weaknesses!"
....
The 70th minute of the game.
Li Kang received a long pass from Van Dijk in the frontcourt.
The Dutch central defender figured it out.
There is no way to pass the ball in the middle transition, it is better to find the core with big feet!
It's a pity that the moment he released the ball.
Modric has already completed the backcourt defense.
He will not allow the incident of "one horse against a thousand" in the first round to happen again.
...
Li Kang began to speed up.
The shadows on the brain spread to the extreme.
In the field of vision, the shadows of the pony and Figo appeared at the same time.
In the eyes of everyone present.
His speed and accuracy on the ball have soared to the extreme.
Useless.
There is no movement and timely support from teammates.
He finally fell at the top of Real Madrid's penalty area.
Pepe, Ramos, Casemiro and Carvajal breathed a sigh of relief.
"No foul!"
"At the last moment, Li Kang almost copied Messi's miracle of beating five people in a row!"
"It's a pity that Real Madrid's defensive line spacing maintains a sense of depth!"
"Modric's tackle was clean!"
“Real Madrid’s counterattack!”
....
finally.
Beep! Beep beep~
The referee blew the whistle to end the game.
The LED scoreboard in mid-air showed the tragic result of 0:5.
Real Madrid eliminated Leverkusen with a total score of 9:2 and advanced to the Champions League final!
Old Man Top was like a defeated rooster, sitting on the ground in disgrace, clutching a handful of grass clippings tightly in his hand.
Dino lowered his head, still trying to record the details of Real Madrid's offense and defense.
The draft paper gradually became wet with rain.
The ups and downs along the way, the hardships along the way...
