Chapter 111 Take It Slow, It’s Faster

The subtle changes in the situation did not give the fans an intuitive feeling.

Arsenal fans still shouted cheers.

Leverkusen fans were still very nervous.

From their perspective: Arsenal's attack was still threatening Leverkusen's defense.

Even Duan Xuan and He Wei did not see much clues.

"Arsenal is currently leading by two goals, they are not in a hurry to attack!"

"Slow down the pace appropriately, keep the ball, and reduce mistakes!"

"The game will gradually turn into a positional battle!"

Cazorla had a headache.

He tried many ways to speed up, and there was no way to instigate a local pass and cut attack.

The Leverkusen No. 10 seemed to see through all of Arsenal's offensive methods.

He always got out at the right time and in the right position, cutting off Arsenal's passing point.

Fortunately, Leverkusen's way of advancing was very simple.

Arsenal can easily block the opponent's midfield and frontcourt throat.

'We are leading by two goals, just slow down the pace and wait for the game to end. ’

‘It doesn’t matter if we lose the ball. When Leverkusen attacks, there are many loopholes in the midfield and backcourt. ’

Time passed by minute by minute.

The ball changed several times.

Li Kang also couldn’t help Leverkusen complete the advancement.

Giroud kept pushing him, delaying the ball passing rate.

Arsenal’s defensive system, like an iron rod, completely disconnected Leverkusen’s midfield and frontcourt.

As for the rampaging single-handed defense?

He tried, and the strong Coquelin and the “two-meter giant” Mertesacker resisted his impact.

Li Kang tried to move the ball point to the back.

Trying to let Kramer and the two full-backs work together to complete the transfer of offensive weight.

What a pity.

Cazorla’s vision and awareness are extremely terrifying, and he can always command his teammates to complete the interception in time.

Two generations of first-class midfielders of the Spanish national team.

Completed the competition again and again in silence.

Beep! Beep~

The referee blew the whistle to end the first half!

"In the slightly dull first half, Arsenal brought us a brief visual enjoyment!"

"Their gorgeous attack yielded two goals!"

Leverkusen teammates are no longer frustrated.

The spiritual leader who "raises his arm and makes his teammates tremble" has long been wiped out by the increasingly fierce football tactical changes in the torrent of the times.

Only by scoring goals or changing the situation can the teammates' feelings of loss be eliminated.

"Li! Wipe your sweat! Drink some water!"

Bellarabi ran out of the bench and handed over a dry towel attentively.

The German black man has a first-class ability to read people's expressions.

He saw very clearly on the sidelines.

It was Li Kang who changed the direction of the game and suppressed Arsenal's passing and cutting attack!

Much better than Calhanoglu!

Following Li Kang, Leverkusen will definitely win a championship trophy.

Perform better and strive for more playing time.

Leverkusen locker room.

Dino carefully reviewed the tactical details of the first half.

"Advancement is the biggest problem we are facing now!"

Hearing this.

Leverkusen players shook their heads helplessly.

In the first half of the season, Arsenal's frontal defense was too strong.

Chalhanoglu was full of confidence and said: "Our offensive rhythm should be faster! And the forward players' running positions are not layered enough!"

Dino shrugged: King Cha was right, but it doesn't fit the reality of Leverkusen!

Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Bayern and other giants can speed up the overall rhythm to the extreme!

How do our young players in the development period of Leverkusen play?

Old man Top pulled Li Kang aside and said seriously: "Li! Can you slow down the speed of the ball? Let's slow down our offensive rhythm!"

Li Kang was stunned.

After falling behind by two goals, we still have to slow down the speed of the ball and the offensive rhythm?

Since he joined the Leverkusen first team.

Let his playing style become more and more in line with the style of his teammates, playing a fan-width fast break, and even any escape action that would slow down the timing of the attack is unwilling to use.

Old man Top pressed down with both hands: "Yes! Slow down! I don't know why! But your La Masia predecessors all taught Arsenal a lesson this way!"

"We are already two goals behind, there is nothing to lose."

"You can give it a try!"

"As long as we don't lose the ball, we still have a chance when we return to our home court in the second leg!"

"Take it slow, it's faster."

The old man would not say such discouraging words in front of everyone.

He was born in Germany in the 1950s and is very face-conscious!

Li Kang smiled and nodded.

Arsenal locker room.

A bouquet of roses was placed.

This has been Wenger's habit for many years.

Before every game, he would place a bouquet of flowers in the same color as their home jerseys for the opponent club in the locker room.

Even when playing against his arch-rival Tottenham, it was the same.

'There are 25 carnivores in the locker room, they can detect the slight trembling of the coach's eyelashes and perceive his smallest weakness. '

'But the coach must have confidence in himself, you are a guide who sees things with a certain clarity of vision, and you must be humble. ’

This is Wenger’s dressing room philosophy.

There are not many passionate words.

After assistant coach Bould arranged the tasks for the second half.

Every Arsenal player will take the time to rest.

The fifteen-minute halftime break ended quickly.

The players from both sides returned to the pitch!

"Good evening, viewers! Now we are broadcasting the second half of the 2015/16 Champions League 1/8 knockout round!"

"Arsenal vs. Leverkusen!"

"Both coaches have not used their substitution quotas for the time being!"

"Let us look forward to the next exciting match!"

Beep!

With the referee's whistle.

The second half of the game officially began!

Leverkusen has the ball.

Kiessling kicked the ball with his back foot and passed it back to Li Kang!

The players from both sides immediately started running frantically!

Especially Giroud.

He looks clumsy, but his explosive speed without the ball is not slow!

He rushed to Li Kang excitedly!

Maintaining the pressure in the first half without grabbing!

Li Kang stepped on the ball with his left foot, preparing to get rid of the harassment of the Arsenal center forward in the simplest way.

Faintly.

He remembered what old man Top said.

Take it slow, it's faster!

In the field of vision, a shadow wearing a red and blue No. 6 jersey gradually emerged.

Xavi.

Giroud approached, and he suddenly realized that something seemed wrong with Li Kang!

Dazed?

The psychological quality of your young players is a bit poor!

The Arsenal center forward stepped decisively with his long legs!

Li Kang actually cut the ball directly to the inside of his back foot! Turn around!

Giroud stepped on the air!

His face was full of confusion!

Turning in circles?

Too slow!

He decisively used his butt to push over!

Leverkusen's No. 10 cut the ball with the outside of his left foot and turned around! His body drew another circle like a compass!

Giroud fell to the ground!

The whole audience was in an uproar!

"Xavi?"

"The magic of love is spinning in circles!"

"Why didn't Li Kang pass the ball quickly after he got rid of it?"

"There is an open area in front, why didn't he take the ball quickly?"

From the perspective of God.

With two slow circles.

Leverkusen's overall formation did not become disconnected.

Li Kang realized at this time:

Xavi's "circle" module, when used near the center circle, is not a move to get rid of, but a slow-speed advancement method.

Take it slow, it's faster.

Wait until I finish writing the game chapter.

Fantasy football, don't take it seriously.
