What school does Ranieri belong to? It's the Sacchi school!
There are many differences between his defensive counterattack and the 'traditional bus'.
There is no oppression.
No crazy running.
There was no crunch and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack at the front of the penalty area.
Instead, they give up the ball, stabilize the defense in the middle, and then use the local numerical advantage to stifle the opponent's side attack.
Why did such a simple tactic confuse the entire Premier League last season?
Because in the past, Premier League teams rarely liked to "hit the ribs".
Because there once was a Kante in Leicester City who had terrible coverage and invincible tackling...
Under the influence of the ‘Saki Chain’ system.
A group of grassroots players of the Blue Fox seem to have exerted a group buff state.
They are genuine Premier League champions.
Speaking of Sacchi, this famous coach is an unavoidable milestone in the tactical history of world football...
...
It's a pity that Ranieri himself is not Sacchi.
He cannot play other formations and can only play the Eternal Formation 4-4-2.
Fixed and rigid tactics are simply a waste for a midfielder like Li Kang.
King Power Stadium.
The 20,000 Blue Fox fans looked at the rapidly advancing Arsenal without any fear and continued to sing loudly.
This is the rhythm they are most familiar with.
"The Premier League is becoming less and less rough, and the football style of the entire league is developing towards diversification."
"Many clubs are very meticulous in their tactical deployment."
"Look at Leicester City. Their defensive movement is very reasonable, their overall movement is very coordinated, and they can form a local numerical advantage at any time."
"It's not easy for Arsenal to create a threatening attack... Oops!"
Duan Xuan just finished speaking.
Li Kang in the camera sent a through ball.
The football passed through the gap between Drinkwater and Simpson.
The line is precise.
The strength is perfect.
The short and stocky figure suddenly entered the rib area.
Thigh Sanchez.
When the ball arrives, so do the people.
Leicester City's defense was not in chaos at this time.
Methodically leaning in the direction of the football.
From God's perspective, it's like one side of the chain begins to tilt.
There was a snap.
The football left the Chilean man's left foot and jumped to the top of the penalty area!
“Sanchez’s passing skills are also very deep!”
"Look for Giroud!"
“It seems like there’s no way to attack the goal directly!”
"Look at this goal, Mendy appeared just in time!"
....
At the end of the 20th century, several 'Mendi' were born.
Manchester City Mendy.
Real Madrid Mendy.
Monaco Mendy.
Nice Mendy.
etc...
They have one thing in common: they are all black.
Leicester City's new aid Mendy, Ranieri bought him from Ligue 1 just to make him the second "Kante"!
Last season, Kante was the key to the Sacchi Chain.
Even if you are a big 6 superstar in the Premier League, you will easily lose the ball when you encounter him.
The perfect combination of tactics and individual characteristics.
The Blue Fox coaching staff believes Mendy can do the same!
...
it is a pity.
Mendy is only a little over 1.6 meters tall.
Giroud is 1.93 meters tall.
Faced with this pass... the Arsenal center forward can gain aerial advantage without taking off.
"No chance to stop the ball."
"Other Leicester City players double-teamed us."
"What should I do with this ball..."
"pretty!"
Giroud kicked on the spot, jumped up and shook his head, and passed the ball to Walcott who came out of the ribs on the other side!
Leicester City's defense suddenly loosened.
Lost Kanter.
It's like they've lost a moat.
...
Arsenal's little tiger has no room to explode.
Stop the ball with your chest.
Li Kang miraculously appeared beside him, gently passed the ball and entered the penalty area!
"Flowing clouds and flowing water!"
"Tear open the ribs of Leicester City!"
“It’s so relaxing to play!”
"Simple and efficient pass-and-receive coordination!"
"Li Kang can take this position by himself!"
can not come.
The individual Premier League myths are not that good.
Morgan immediately blocked Arsenal No. 10's shot angle.
Old Black Dan is very calm.
There were no easy shots in the penalty area.
Instead, he closely observed the changes in Li Kang's focus...
He knew that his opponent was a super strong man who was good at the magic circle of love, the Cruyff turn, the Marseille pirouette, the Figo dance move, Bell overtaking on the outside...!
Be calm and hold him back.
Teammates quickly came to support!
Snapped!
The Leicester City central defender suddenly felt a chill on his crotch, and before he could even turn around, the football had already rolled behind him!
"It was such an obvious pass...why couldn't it be blocked?"
"There is no trick to win without a trick!"
"Perfect offensive rhythm, no opportunity wasted because of trying to get rid of or pass people."
"Wow, Morata's movement is amazing!"
....
Twelve yard area.
Morata was half a body ahead of Huth and faced the football with murderous intent.
do not know why.
I feel that as long as I play at the same time as Li Kang, my game state will be particularly good.
bring it on!
My first Premier League goal.
Let the whole King Power Stadium marvel!
Boom!
The Spanish forward's right foot hit the football hard!
The coaching staff of both sides were confused: When did this guy have such terrifying foot power? The past data did not show it.
The pressure is on the Leicester City goalkeeper.
Schmeichel's little hole was narrowed, and faced with such a close attack...such a terrifying ball speed...he made a save with lightning speed!
Boom!
The glove did not touch the ball.
The entire doorpost shook slightly.
"beam!"
"It's harder not to score than to score!"
"All the connections in the front were perfect. But I didn't grasp the final kick."
"Hey! The crisis has not been resolved! Morata, don't worry about holding your head!"
Courtside.
Boulder slapped the turf angrily.
Wenger subconsciously covered his chest... He could suddenly feel the anxiety of Allegri and Del Bosque.
the other side.
Ranieri frowned.
He knows the current holes in the team.
But where can I find the second Kanter?
...
"Can Arsenal get a second chance to attack!"
"During this period, I have been beaten in the city of Stern."
"The attack launched by Li Kang made it difficult for them to figure out the routine."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Not a traditional penetration from the middle or an attack around either side, or even a pass around the edge."
"It's a slap in the ribs!"
"The gunman grabbed the blue fox's sides and attacked."
....
The football bounced to the top of the penalty area.
A burly and majestic figure rules the sky of two dwarfs, Mendy and Okazaki Shinji!
Mustafi!
No one noticed when Arsenal's new central defender stepped in!
Aerial battle without any suspense!
The German headed the ball into the penalty area!
"It's not a shot!"
"It's a pass!"
"He did it to Li Kang!"
"Volley!"
"pretty!"
...
Morgan and Fox tried their best to squeeze Li Kang out of the football's range.
The two of them couldn't help but be shocked: This kid is not only physically strong, but his ability to control the center of gravity is also extraordinary for ordinary players.
】
There is no time.
Schmeichel had just gotten up and had not yet adjusted to the best defensive position.
Other teammates were also pulled away by Giroud and Sanchez to the exclusion of others.
What about Drinkwater?
This guy still thinks that Leicester City can counterattack!
...
Li Kang vaguely remembered the game against Roma that year.
At that time, we were also faced with a derivative tactic of the "Sacchi Chain"... It was too difficult to break through the gates of Rome.
Now when I come to Arsenal, facing the more solid defensive formation of the Premier League Myth... it's so easy.
The moment when you take back your thoughts.
The left foot also touched the football!
Snapped!
Not a very standard shooting action.
In the field of vision, Raul's shadow flashed away.
The confrontational power of Morgan and Fox should not be underestimated, and they still interfered with him.
...
Schmeichel is under a lot of pressure.
This kind of irregular shot makes it difficult to determine the specific path of the ball.
Fortunately, the direction was easy to judge, so he quickly got down to the ground and pounced towards the near corner.
The football hit the turf hard!
Then it bounced high.
It went over the head of the Leicester City goalkeeper and fell into the net...
0:1!
"It's Li Kang again!"
“After joining the Premier League, I scored two consecutive games!”
"Phenomenal player!"
"Unpredictable ground-cutting!"
"Seal your throat with one sword!"
"Mustafi's assist and Li Kang's clever shot scored! Arsenal took the lead!"
....
Cech, Koscielny and Mersack...the three of them looked at each other.
They were worried that Mustafi's rash advance would cause Leicester City to launch a quick counterattack.
Unexpectedly, this guy's timing of attack was quite good.
There are some famous defenders in La Liga.
The defense is not very good, but the offensive attributes are full.
