Madrid and London are one hour apart.

UEFA scheduled the Real Madrid vs. Wolfsburg match for tomorrow.

As soon as Modrić got home, he went straight to his study.

He was just about to turn on the computer.

Three-year-old Ema toddled over and threw herself against his leg.

She inherited Modrić's athletic genes.

Looking at the whole of Europe, the unparalleled duo under the age of five were her and...

His wife, Vanja, quickly picked up their daughter.

"Don't bother Daddy!"

With that, she left and closed the door to the study.

Watching game recordings or live broadcasts every day was a habit Modrić developed during his Dinamo Zagreb days.

The replay of the entire goal-scoring process was on the computer screen.

The Real Madrid midfielder took out paper and pen, scribbling while muttering to himself.

"If Leverkusen wants to get away unscathed, Li Kang must control the distribution of the team's offensive resources instead of turning himself into a central breakthrough point or a single passing outlet as in previous games."

.......

ESPN live broadcast room.

The fans engaged in a heated discussion.

-【Leverkusen's defense can't withstand Arsenal's overall scaling and thrusting attacks.】

-【Looking at the replay, even if Li Kang himself can cut off Arsenal's passing options, his teammates can't keep up with the timing of the defensive help, and Cazorla still has plenty of passing choices.

-【Football is a game of eleven players! If you rely on one person to solve the battle? Otherwise, Messi and C. Ronaldo would have already won the World Cup!】

-【Why could Leverkusen beat Barca, but now they're being thrashed so badly by Arsenal?】

-【Are you saying... is Arsenal weak? They won twelve out of the first fourteen Premier League games, not to mention that game in the Champions League group stage where they thrashed Bayern. What are you thinking?】

-【Football isn't fighting. It's not like a certain player is awesome, and you're guaranteed to win.】

-【Style restrains, tactics restrain. Let me give you the most obvious example: Real Madrid has strong hard power in foreign wars in recent years, but they always lose the El Clásico to Enrique's Barca. Amazing, right? You can't extrapolate from this and say that Leverkusen can beat Real Madrid, can you?】

...

Emirates Stadium.

The game continued.

After Leverkusen kicked off in the center circle, they couldn't form a quick advance.

Whenever the ball was passed to Li Kang's feet.

Giroud would hover over like a fly, not to win the ball back or pressure him, but to harass him.

Although this guy is a flop on the offensive end, his harassment ability on the defensive end is first-rate.

Li Kang could get rid of him very easily.

But in the process of completing the escape and passing the ball forward.

Arsenal's remaining three-man front group could always pose a threat to the receiving player!

Especially Cazorla, his vision and football IQ were equally terrifying, and he could almost always predict Li Kang's best passing option.

....

Time passed by minute by minute.

Although Leverkusen didn't lose possession of the ball easily, they could hardly advance the ball into Arsenal's thirty-meter area.

There was also Coquelin as a defensive midfielder.

This guy's hard power completely overwhelmed Brandt and Son Heung-min in their growth period one-on-one.

How strong was he? Before Kanté of Leicester City suddenly emerged, he was the Premier League's steal king.

He was also a versatile player with a wide range of coverage.

"Arsenal without injuries! They have a dominant performance!"

"A comprehensive crushing!"

"Leverkusen can't even get the upper hand, let alone score. Once they lose possession of the ball, it will lead to irreversible consequences!"

"Arsenal's possession-based attack is top-notch in Europe!"

.......

Arsenal fans were very calm.

Leverkusen fans were very pessimistic.

This was a cultural difference. The British were naturally tranquil, and sorrow was engraved in the genes of the Germans.

Dino paced back and forth incessantly: "Boss, all our tactical preparations before the game have become waste paper... Arsenal's defense has easily blocked the throat of our midfield and frontcourt..."

"Wenger's pre-match preparation was too thorough! The set we used to beat Barca is completely ineffective against Arsenal!"

Old Man Toppmöller took a deep breath, his hands hidden in his suit pants pockets, trembling non-stop...

A gap in strength.

Arsenal without injuries were top-notch in Europe.

Although Leverkusen had Li Kang, they couldn't make up for the shortcomings in other positions.

......

18th minute of the game.

Li Kang got rid of Giroud, didn't pass the ball, but chose to advance himself, coming to Arsenal's half, forty-meter area!

In the God's perspective.

Kießling's move to receive the ball with his back to the goal made Coquelin leave Brandt.

Son Heung-min's lateral run attracted Koscielny's attention!

On both sides, Borges and Hilbert quickly overlapped!

A flaw appeared in Arsenal's midfield and backfield defense!

In Li Kang's vision.

A red and black jersey with the number 10 appeared as a phantom!

Small leg swing!

Bang!

The football left his left foot and swept across the grass at high speed!

Like a scalpel.

Accurately piercing into Arsenal's right rib!

The sleepy fans were instantly awakened!

"Beautiful!"

"A scalpel-like through ball!"

"The concealment is too high! The line and strength are far better than before!"

"Brandt!"

....

On the sidelines.

Dino and Old Man Toppmöller excitedly raised their fists.

This through ball was just too perfect!

An excellent opportunity to equalize!

On the other side.

Wenger sat on the bench with a calm expression.

He knew Li Kang's characteristics very well.

This kind of through ball was within the scope of consideration of the Arsenal coaching staff.

.....

This through ball was perfect.

It happened to roll to Brandt's preferred foot.

"Beautiful!"

"No offside!"

"Li Kang's pass was perfect, and Brandt's forward insertion was also perfect!"

"Can it form a shot on goal?"

A figure with the number 16 happened to be blocking Brandt's path forward!

Ramsey, who had suffered a serious injury and major surgery, was not fast, his defense was average. He didn't immediately make a move, but followed the Leverkusen winger back!

In a flash!

The football was brought to the vicinity of the arc of the penalty area!

Brandt tried to speed up and change direction!

A tall figure came to help defend!

Mertesacker!

No intense confrontation!

Brandt lost possession of the ball under the double-teaming of two Arsenal players!

"What a pity!"

"Arsenal seems to have anticipated Leverkusen's offensive style!"

.....

The football slowly rolled into the penalty area.

Čech scooped up the ball.

He raised his right hand.

Gesturing to slow down the pace.

Leverkusen's formation slowly retreated.

The Arsenal goalkeeper suddenly threw the ball!

Not directly forward!

But to Cazorla in the thirty-meter area!

He needed a time axis for Sanchez and Walcott on the wing to sprint!

....

Dino and Old Man Toppmöller didn't even have time to feel sorry!

When they saw a large arc like a rainbow drawn in the air!

This was Cazorla's footwork.

The spokesperson for the dual-footed balance module.

The most underrated top midfielder.

In the Spanish dynasty, he was a substitute for Xavi and Iniesta.

His comprehensiveness had a vital strategic significance for Arsenal!

Especially for the distribution of offensive resources.

He wouldn't stick to the form of passing and cutting in all offensive stages!

......

"Dangerous!"

"Leverkusen's backfield is empty! The two centre-backs can't get back!"

"Cazorla's long pass! Extremely high quality!"

Walcott rushed to Leverkusen's forty-meter area and lifted his foot to stop the ball!

At this time, his speed was the fastest in the five major leagues.

Faster than Robben and Bale.

It was just that his ability to combine man and ball wasn't top-notch. When encountering interception, he often had to slow down.

If running fast could make you a top star, Bolt wouldn't have been kicked out of the A-League.

But now, could anyone in Leverkusen catch up with Walcott?

No!

Arsenal's Little Tiger was speeding all the way!

Like a little fish, swimming along the rapid current towards Leverkusen's penalty area!

Leno didn't dare to attack.

For a goalkeeper, the judgment of whether to attack or not, in addition to considering the distance, also had to consider the speed of the one-on-one player!

"Let's see this chance!"

"Sanchez is also up! His explosive speed is also very fast!"

"Leverkusen is facing another test!"

....

Inside the small penalty area.

With a "pop"!

Walcott didn't use any feints.

He gently pushed the ball horizontally.

Leno quickly adjusted his position!

Sanchez finished the job in one fell swoop.

The football rolled into the near corner of Leverkusen's goal!

2:0!!!

Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal fans were no longer calm. They saw the dawn of advancing to the Champions League quarter-finals!

"Come on you Gunners!"

Li Kang stood in the middle circle.

He seemed undisturbed by any external factors.

He picked up the football.

Ran back to the center circle.

In God's perspective, he was reviewing all the details since the start of the game.

How to defeat this Arsenal?
