Manchester United's heir apparent, but can't play football.

Chapter 12 Wow, what a cool kicking style!
"Frankfurt fielded a 4-2-3-1 formation, and the starting lineup included two Japanese players, Takashi Inui and Makoto Hasebe."

"I hope that in the future, many Chinese players will be able to go to the top five leagues, gain a foothold, and play as starters."

Beep!
Accompanied by the referee's whistle.

The game officially begins.

Wolfsburg has the ball.

Bendtner kicked off and passed the ball back to his own half.

Frankfurt's attacking players excitedly rushed across the center circle and launched a frantic high press.

The football rolled rapidly on the grass.

Wolfsburg's backfield passing was very solid, and they did not make any mistakes despite the opponent's high pressing.

Courtside.

Black Gold looked completely calm, his arms crossed in front of his chest.

Last night, he watched a local animated film with his son called "East German Youngsters in the Bundesliga". The film described how Wolfsburg played a wolf pack tactic, how fierce they were, how much they liked to attack relentlessly, and how they fought the enemy without regard for anything else.

fake.

deceptive.

In the real world, the reason Wolfsburg had so many attacks in the video highlights was because De Bruyne and his teammates ensured the quality of their transition attacks.

For example, Wolfsburg's tactical system in this historical period focused all attribute points on defense, making it not a ferocious, fanged, hungry wolf, but a well-fed, clear-eyed fat wolf.

Last season, after Tuchel cracked Wolfsburg's flexible system that "bullies the weak and fears the strong," Blackgear learned his lesson and continuously optimized the system, making Wolfsburg more defensive and stable.

The chubby wolf was clad in metal armor that was armed to the teeth.

"Starting with full defense, Bayern can only beat me by one goal in the first round of the Bundesliga."

The other side.

Frankfurt coach Thomas Schaaf appeared calm.

He is no nobody.

In 2004, while coaching Werder Bremen, he achieved the 'double' of winning the Bundesliga and the German Cup.

He was a student of Rehhagel.

Rehhagel's story is more fascinating than any movie.

As his third protégé, Thomas Schaaf absorbed Rehhagel's football philosophy from the 1980s: to exert all efforts and continuously put pressure on the opponent, and to launch a frantic attack at all costs once possession is gained.

CTV5 live broadcast room.

The commentators and Coach Zhang were puzzled: How come Wolfsburg played much more smoothly than Van Gaal's Manchester United when facing high-pressing tactics?
Even comparing the strength of their opponents: Frankfurt is "crazier" than Swansea.

"wrong."

"You see, Wolfsburg has a strong ability to withstand pressure, but their strategy for passing the ball out from the back is too simplistic."

"I understand now. The Frankfurt coach is quite something. His pressing in the attacking third is very targeted, mainly focusing on Guilavogui."

"The reason why Guilavogui couldn't stay at Atletico Madrid wasn't because of his physical attributes or footwork, but because he was too conservative in his thinking. He always liked to find the safest path when handling the ball: he would always pass the ball back to the center-back, which made the team's transition attacks too one-dimensional."

"Finding the ball at the center-back is the right thing to do, but now the opponent is targeting it, so we need to change our approach."

Barrage:
-
What are you mumbling about?
-
[Is Frankfurt's head coach, Old Schaaf, really Raymond's third protégé? No wonder he's so awesome, slowly peeling away Wolf's armor.]
-
[The main issue is Guilavogui. Whenever he gets the ball, it's obvious he'll pass it back to Knoch or Naldo for a long pass from the two Wolfsburg center-backs.]
-
[Old Sha's goal wasn't to break through the defense, but to exploit the weaknesses in Wolfsburg's defense during their offensive phase. Once he found one, he'd deliver a brutal blow. For example, he'd force that fat wolf to the point where it only had one narrow path to take home from school, then block it on that path and give it a good beating.]

【what to do? 】

Let's take a chance and see if the Wolfsburg players can have a breakout performance.

On the green football field.

Wolfsburg's ball out from their own half was blocked by Frankfurt, but Gustavo, with his experience, regained possession.

The camera occasionally pans to the center circle.

Frankfurt is making a major push.

Bendtner and Lee Lowe were active in both of the opponent's lines.

Frankfurt midfielder Makoto Hasebe stuck to Li Luo like glue.

He slowly muttered trash talk.

Li Luo couldn't understand it, but looking at Xiao Rizi's serious expression, he guessed it was some kind of cringeworthy line from a shonen manga.

The spatial perception module in the brain is working frantically.

'Is everything under control?'

The game went to the 12th minute.

Wolfsburg finally delivered a brilliant long pass from their own half.

"It's the trend of the times. Having a center-back with good ball-playing skills can solve a lot of problems."

"The camera follows the trajectory of the football."

"Haha, Bendtner, who's over 1.9 meters tall, has such a clear physical advantage! He won the header and headed the ball down!"

Snapped.

The football fell and hit Wolfsburg's center forward on the head.

It refracts and bounces back.

Li Luo's figure moved precisely to the landing point.

Frankfurt's defense was taken aback: This kid's vision and anticipation of the ball's trajectory are too strong! The timing of his step-in and acceleration was also perfect, easily shaking off Makoto Hasebe!
Frankfurt coach Marcelo Rebelo de Sánchez on the sidelines remained calm: "This kid's mind works faster than anyone else's. Luckily, we made some preparations before the match."

Frankfurt center-back Zambrano reacted quickly.

He launched an aggressive attack.

He was trying to prevent Li Luo, who was facing the ball sideways, from connecting with his next breakthrough move.

Something unexpected happened!

Snapped!
The insteps of Chinese teenagers are not wrapped in footballs.

The two separated with a light touch.

A dragonfly touches the water.

The ball flew towards the weak point on the right flank of Frankfurt's defense. Zambrano stared blankly.

Black Gold stared in astonishment, his mouth agape.

Old Sha looked bewildered.

"what?"

"One kick!!!"

"Antelope horns hanging from a tree!!!"

Wow! That's so cool!!!

"Look at his posture when he kicks, the movement is so cool!"

"The whole world thought he would stop and go, breaking through the Frankfurt defense."

"did not expect"

"Vision! Li Luo's pass perfectly exploited the weakest side of Frankfurt's defense."

"The perfect combination of spatial awareness and one-touch passing catches the opponent off guard."

"World-class from the neck up!"

"A brilliant and talented young man from China, his talent and genius are overflowing!"

The close-up shot follows the trajectory of the football.

De Bruyne appeared.

He ran while trying to suppress the shock in his heart:

'That's so high-class!'

'In the Bundesliga, despite being disrupted, Lee managed to deliver a perfectly timed pass that precisely penetrated the weak side of the opponent's defense.'

'wrong. '

'The power and trajectory of the pass were problematic, and too much lead was given, Li.'

'I understand, Li did it on purpose!'

He believed Frankfurt's defense could anticipate this path, so he deliberately made the passing consistency fluctuate! His passes also took into account the opposing defenders' turning speed and recovery speed.

'master!'

Amid cheers from the crowd in the arena.

De Bruyne struggled to stop the drifting ball on the wing.

Then he went forward.

Raise your arm and kick.

Snapped.

The football traced a rainbow-like arc in mid-air.

It plunged straight down to the edge of Frankfurt's penalty area.

Wolfsburg's attacking line has pressed forward aggressively.

Bendtner, who is over 1.9 meters tall, rammed into the Frankfurt center-back.

Swing your leg in mid-air.

Bah!
The football floated and flew towards the stands.

Thunderous applause erupted throughout the venue, and tens of thousands of eyes were focused on the Chinese teenager.

The attack was replayed on an LED screen in mid-air.

Li Luo took a quick step to get past Hasebe Makoto, accurately judged the landing point, and precisely anticipated the defensive tendency of the opposing center-back. With one pass, he tore apart Frankfurt's defense.

The crowd erupted in screams and cheers once again.

[Shock level +1]

[Shock level +1]

[Shock level +1]

【.】

Bendtner gave De Bruyne a thumbs-up.

De Bruyne gave Li Luo a thumbs up.

Li Luo also applauded his teammates.

The spatial perception module has already grasped all of the other party's dynamic information.

The model that was constructed was very simple.

Li Luo still doesn't understand many strategic issues, but at this moment it feels like fighting a boss in a game, following the mechanics.

'When our teammates in the midfield and defense have the ball, the opponents always disrupt our passing game. If we can solve this problem, this match will be much simpler, right?'

VIP private room.

The Volkswagen Group and Wolfsburg executives looked happy and spoke with great enthusiasm:

"Such a stylish playing style."

"This kind of quick link-up play and ability to tear apart the defense with a single kick is the hallmark of a midfield commander."

"It suits this face."

"And then there's the fact that he's Chinese."

"The most perfect loan in Bundesliga history! The commercial value Lee brought us."

CTV5 live broadcast room.

The barrage of comments flew by.
-
So handsome!
-
[I'm awesome!]
-
That was an amazing pass!
-
I always thought Li Luo was the kind of genius midfielder who would spin around to get past defenders, then dribble past them repeatedly before finally tearing apart the defense with a surgical pass. I never imagined he was so intelligent!
-
Wolfsburg is still facing a very serious problem. Black Gold is no match for Old Sha; Old Sha is a direct disciple of the Thunder Saint and has made targeted preparations. Even if Wolfsburg knows the situation now, it will be difficult to break through the impasse in the short term.
