Dear Gua
Chapter 32 So My Teammates Were This Strong?
"This style of play is more common among La Liga teams."
"Lee Kang is gradually becoming the midfield core of Bayer Leverkusen. His positioning, movement, and passing choices are very reasonable."
"Manchester United's pressing in the frontcourt is completely ineffective! The key is that Lee Kang's position is very far back!"
"A deep-lying playmaker, Coach Topp has something! Sure enough, a change of coach is like a new knife, we see a different Bayer Leverkusen!"
Duan Xuan and He Wei were a little excited.
Although Lee Kang is not of Dragon Country nationality.
It also proves that Dragon Country people can play football well and gain a foothold in the top leagues!
....
The game time passed minute by minute.
Rooney was very angry.
He felt like a dog.
Being played with by Bayer Leverkusen's midfielders and defenders.
Constantly running back and forth to press.
Purely being used by the opponent to consume his stamina.
Even if Van Gaal had prepared positional pressing before the game.
It was useless.
That Dragon-blooded kid's positioning and awareness, the speed and lines of his passes, were too reasonable.
Just like that sissy Fabregas!
After another fruitless press.
Rooney stopped angrily.
With an angry expression, he spread his hands towards his teammates in the backfield!
"In the first 10 minutes, Manchester United's possession rate is actually zero! They can't touch the ball at all!"
"If Bayer Leverkusen continues to slow down the pace like this..."
....
The sidelines.
Bayer Leverkusen's coaching area.
Dino said excitedly: "Boss, our youth team's old tricks are so effective in the Champions League!"
Old man Topp said calmly: "It's just that we have the advantage of two away goals. We are not Barca. As time goes on, other players will make mistakes in their passing..."
"Look, the prey is hooked!"
On the other side.
Van Gaal ran excitedly from the coaching bench to the command area.
With a wave of his hand.
He signaled the team to increase the number of players pressing in the frontcourt!
The positions of the two full-backs were brought forward!
Even Herrera was driven up!
"That bad old man Topp is actually copying my tactics from Barca!"
"Do your Bayer Leverkusen players have Barca's passing stability? Let's see how long you can last. A team whose passing success rate was only 70% last season is learning technical passing and control?"
.....
Manchester United's formation pressed forward frantically.
The position of the defense line also kept moving forward.
Just as Herrera ran to the center circle.
The ball returned to Lee Kang's feet.
In God's perspective.
The simplest attacking route had already been revealed!
He gently raised his hand.
Making an attacking gesture.
Bang!
The ball left his left foot.
In an instant.
Bayer Leverkusen's players were like they had been injected with chicken blood.
Rushing forward frantically!
The formations of the two teams.
Seemed to collide together!
The drowsy fans also perked up at this moment!
The four stands of the BayArena erupted!
"Lee Kang is like Bayer Leverkusen's gearbox!"
"He decides the team's attacking timing and direction!"
"Beautiful!"
....
Son Heung-min was eager to try on the left wing.
His previous position at Bayer Leverkusen was on the right.
But old man Topp found that he was more suitable for the left!
Lee Kang's pass easily tore through Manchester United's two lines of defense in the middle and front!
It even penetrated behind full-back Barela!
Comfortably delivered to Son Heung-min's preferred foot!
"Too beautiful, this simple transition and push forward! It's just like Rui Costa's super long through ball!"
"Bayer Leverkusen's attacking storm!"
...
After receiving the ball, Son Heung-min accelerated sharply.
Speeding down the left wing!
Manchester United players chased back frantically.
Almost all of Bayer Leverkusen's players were rushing forward frantically!
Forming an attacking fan shape with multiple support points in Manchester United's backfield!
Van Gaal's face darkened: "You call this sissy football? They are like a pack of mad dogs! Don't they consider the defensive problems after we intercept them?"
Giggs's mouth twitched.
Old Van, you're the only one saying that Bayer Leverkusen is playing sissy football!
"Boss, they're too fast..."
....
Son Heung-min was far ahead on the left wing!
Manchester United's backfield had no way to intercept him!
Carrick and Blind still had to be wary of other Bayer Leverkusen attacking players!
Especially that black guy named Bellarabi!
He was even faster than Son Heung-min!
The task of intercepting Son Heung-min was handed over to Smalling!
The two met in front of Manchester United's penalty area!
"Is he going to cut inside!"
"Manchester United's other defenders aren't getting back that quickly!"
"A good opportunity!"
....
Facing Manchester United's last "light of defense".
Son Heung-min had to slow down!
A sinking shoulder and a step.
Smalling was not fooled!
Son Heung-min immediately swept the ball away!
He was very decisive!
In this kind of offensive and defensive rhythm, only the forwards in football novels can play fancy fake moves for half a day before shooting!
The ball rolled along the turf towards the center!
Bellarabi shrugged off Blind!
Taking the lead!
Sticking out his big black leg!
Heavily kicked the ball!
Bang!
"A rocket shot!"
"This shot opportunity absolutely relies on speed and physical advantages!"
The ball roared towards the upper right corner of Manchester United's goal!
De Gea made a save!
He was like flying in mid-air!
Red gloves blocked the shooting line!
Bang!
Another loud noise!
The ball slammed heavily on the crossbar!
Bounced out of the penalty area!
The audience was in an uproar!
Bellarabi shook his head helplessly!
Old man Topp cursed angrily.
Bayer Leverkusen fans let out a series of exclamations!
But.
Manchester United fans didn't catch their breath!
Van Gaal's face was flushed!
He stared nervously at where the ball would land!
....
The players on both sides were almost all gathered in the dangerous area outside Manchester United's penalty area!
The ball happened to fall into the crowd!
A mess!
At this time.
Rooney took the lead in jumping!
His slightly bald head reflected the spotlights above the BayArena.
Just when everyone thought he could complete the clearance.
A taller figure jumped up, that curly-haired big head touched the ball first!
Kießling!
The Bundesliga header monster!
He didn't choose to attack himself!
Instead, he passed the ball into the Manchester United penalty area!
"His jumping and heading ability is too strong! Jumping up a step later! He can still touch the ball first!"
"If Rooney was just a little taller!"
....
The camera followed the trajectory of the ball!
All the viewers in front of the TV.
Saw a black-haired body.
Bayer Leverkusen number 10!
The moment the ball landed.
He lifted his foot lightly!
Bang!
The ball was pushed towards the lower left corner of Manchester United's goal!
Everything happened too fast!
De Gea had no time to rush from the right side of the goal to the left side!
Even if he stretched his body to the extreme!
He couldn't touch the ball!
When the white net was lifted!
The whole audience exclaimed!
"Goal!"
"Lee Kang! When did he insert himself into the penalty area!"
"He is the initiator of the attack! He is also the finisher of the attack!"
