Chapter 30 Combo Techniques? Super.
With Bundesliga matchdays fast approaching, various media outlets are generating buzz in anticipation.

North Rhine Evening Post: Leverkusen aims for an unbeaten record.

South Korean media: Son Heung-min is a young prodigy on par with Lee Nak.

Japanese media: A clash of Bundesliga's rising stars: Li Luo vs. Calhanoglu, Li Luo vs. Kiessling, Li Luo vs. Son Heung-min – a fateful battle for midfield maestros! The bloody dawn of the header demon! The deadly resistance of the South Korean striker! How will the weary Chinese striker break through the encirclement?

The Sun: Li Luo has a healthy private life, doesn't like young models, and focuses on football.

Xinhua News Agency: The Bundesliga's popularity continues to rise, and young player Li Luo is deeply loved by fans.

The number of comments, likes, and shares continued to surge.
-
Wolfsburg has three games in a week, and they're likely to get crushed by Leverkusen this time.
-
I have a feeling that the Korean media is trying to mock us, but without actually causing any harm.
-
Bayer Leverkusen has a strong attack but a weak defense, while Wolfsburg hasn't kept a clean sheet this season. This match is sure to be a high-scoring affair, go all in!
-
What is The Sun doing? Does it think that only reporting positive news about Li Luo will generate buzz?
-
[Li Luo, keep going!]

One day later.

Li Luo and the club arrived in Bayer Leverkusen.

At the end of the 19th century, Bayer established a factory in this city, which gradually developed into an important chemical and pharmaceutical industrial center in Germany.

Employees needed recreational activities, so Bayer founded the Bayer Leverkusen club in 1904.

The first team emblem was a yellow lion.

For more than a century since then, this lion has roamed the European football scene, writing many stories.

The most famous story is his achievement of being named the "King of Sanya" in 2002.

In that Champions League final, Zidane unleashed a spectacular long-range shot, leaving Bayer Leverkusen as the backdrop.

"I feel like this is a competition between two factories."

"Haha."

"Bayer Factory Team VS Volkswagen Factory Team".

"The world cannot do without Bayer; the insect repellent they invented is so effective!"

The green bus slowly drove into the stadium.

The Wolfsburg players tried to relax and chatted along the way.

Black Gold sat next to the Chinese boy, patiently explaining, his words a barrage of criticism: "You're too tired," "A young player who's just come of age shouldn't be overused," "You're in your growth and development stage; overexertion will lead to incurable injuries," "Okay, you'll come on in the second half," "It's settled then."

Li Luo had no objections.

He also felt tired.

Playing three full rounds of 90-minute matches a week is extremely grueling for young midfielders who cover the most distance in every game.

One of the key differences between mid-table teams and top teams lies in their bench depth.

Injuries and fatigue are the club's most formidable enemies during a long season.

When these two factors accumulate to a certain extent, they greatly weaken the team's fighting power.

Leverkusen training base.

Assistant coach Dino, looking confident, said, "Boss, my plan is flawless and will definitely limit Li Luo! The match will become very simple."

Head coach Schmidt presented the newly released starting lineup for Wolfsburg.

During this historical period, the starting lineup is usually announced an hour before the match.

"Li, you're a substitute today."

"what?"

Dino was a little confused and kept checking the starting lineup.

Schmidt comforted him, "It's okay. The club sees your efforts as per the original plan. Keep up the good work."

Say it.

He picked up another newspaper about the Qatar league and began reading it with great interest.

As I looked at it, a smile gradually appeared: If I were to coach in the Middle East, my annual salary would be as high as 600 million euros, which is not as stressful as in Europe.

Bayer Arena.

Red smoke grenades exploded in every corner of the stands.

Smoke billows.

A huge red flag was being waved continuously.

In the main grandstand, a giant TIFO quietly unfolded.

"Zhuangdianertai! Zhuangdianertai! Good evening, viewers."

"We are now broadcasting live the fourth round of the 2014/15 Bundesliga season."

"Bayer Leverkusen will host Wolfsburg."

"Bayer Leverkusen vs. Wolfsburg"

"A clash between two powerhouses, where goals have never been scarce in past encounters!"

Will tonight see another goal-fest?

"We'll see."

Pre-match press conference.

Black Gold patiently explained the starting lineup to the outside world.

This is not an explanation for the media.

It was an explanation for Wolfsburg's local fans.

"We will absolutely not give up the competition. Playing three games a week is a normal part of personnel rotation."

“Li needs rest. He runs the most distance in every game, and the club has taken into account the advice of medical staff and physical trainers.”

"Wolves will take this match seriously."

The other side.

Bayer Leverkusen coach Roger Schmidt looked relaxed.

Most of the questions from the media reporters were unrelated to the main topic.

There was once a story about Schmidt's time coaching the Austrian club Red Bull Salzburg, where they defeated Guardiola's Bayern Munich 3-0. After the match, Guardiola was not disappointed at all, but excitedly grabbed him and chatted non-stop.

In a later interview, he said: "Schmidt's pressure was extremely fierce. I have never seen such a cruel level of pressure in my entire coaching career."

"Bayer Leverkusen's tactical system has a large reserve of key players in important positions for rotation."

"Don't worry."

Why is the passing accuracy of midfield maestro Hakan Çalhanoğlu so low at Bayer Leverkusen but so high at the Turkish national team? This is a complicated question to answer.

Player tunnel.

The atmosphere was solemn.

The exhausted Wolfsburg team looked at the spirited and eager Leverkusen team.

I suddenly felt a little pressured.

De Bruyne looked anxious; he was fearless, but worried about his teammates' form and performance.

Gustavo earnestly reminded young Arnold: Don't hold onto the ball too long, handle it quickly, or it will cause a lot of trouble.

Bayer Arena.

A hot air balloon bearing the Bundesliga logo slowly ascends into the sky.

The referee team led both teams out of the tunnel, and cheers erupted from all sides of the stands.

"Now we will introduce the starting lineups of both sides."

"Bayer Leverkusen's formation is 4-2-3-1!"

Goalkeeper: Leno.

"Defenders: Donati, Toprak, Spahic, Wendell."

"Double defensive midfielders: Rasbender and Castro."

"Central midfielders: Bellarabi, Calhanoglu, Son Heung-min."

Forward: Kiessling.

Wolfsburg's formation is 4-5-1!

Goalkeeper:

"."

"Li Luo did not start, Wolfsburg probably took into account the fatigue of the young players."

Studio.
-
[Bendtner wasn't released; Wolfsburg's personnel changes are quite significant.]
-
[It's understandable that Li Luo is resting; the opposing team's young player, Brandt, is also resting.]
-
When these two teams clash, there will definitely be at least four goals.

The guessing game ended quickly.

Beep!
With the referee's whistle, the match officially began.

Sitting on the bench, watching the relentless pressure from Leverkusen, Li Luo's spatial perception module quickly shaped a rapidly working geometric model.

Maranda, sitting next to me, looked like an old lady watching a melodramatic soap opera, her expression shifting between worry and joy as she watched her teammates on the field.

"They're so fast!"

"This has made our passing accuracy so low."

"However, their passing accuracy is also very low."

CTV5 live broadcast room.

Coach Zhang spoke slowly.

"Leverkusen's tactical system is designed to make the game faster."

"We don't play ball possession games, and we don't play passing games with high success rates."

"Disrupt the enemy's structure and then break through their defenses."

Bayer Leverkusen players are very strong, and Wolfsburg players are not useless either.

The 14th minute of the game.

Çalhanoğlu was near the center circle, constantly turning his head to observe the situation on the field.

He then received a pass from his teammate.

He then spun around sharply, effortlessly shaking off Wolfsburg's crown prince, Arnold.

He looked calm and confident.

'North Rhine, cheer for your commander!'

Snapped!
The Turkish player finished his spin and was about to pass the ball.

I saw a young man with blond hair fiercely charging towards me.

De Bruyne.

"oops!"

"Beautiful! A clean steal!"

"What's going on? Çalhanoğlu's physical strength is too weak. He knows everything in his head, but his movements are too slow to connect."

"rainbow!"

De Bruyne didn't hold onto the ball; having already observed his teammates' positions, he decisively delivered a lobbed pass over the top.

Leverkusen's high defensive line was torn apart.

Wolfsburg's center forward, Dost, sprints with all his might.

His shooting skills are much more reliable than those of Bendtner, who was captured.

He is 196 cm tall and weighs 85 kg.

Max out shooting attributes from the start and win the Eredivisie Golden Boot!

but.

Why can't he secure a starting position in the Dutch national team? Because his weaknesses are obvious.

It's slow.

Its relative ability to fight back is relatively weak.

The combat style is monotonous.

Fortunately, when we arrived at Wolfsburg, we met De Bruyne.

"De Bruyne passed very well."

"Dost, with a stop and a touch, he wasn't offside!"

"Single sword!"

"Hey, not fast enough! Get moving!"

"The 34-year-old Bayer Leverkusen veteran Spašić, we already witnessed his explosiveness at the World Cup a few months ago, he's still got it."

Bah!
Seeing that he was about to be caught up by the opposing defender, Dost decided to take a risky shot.

The football roared and blasted open the Bayer Leverkusen goal.

0:1! ! !

"They're in already?"

"Isn't it?"

"What is Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper Leno doing?"

"Pretty!"

"De Bruyne connected with Dost to break the deadlock and help Wolfsburg take the lead."

Leno shrugged.

He blocked the near post.

Unexpectedly, Dost's powerful long-range shot hit the target.

Li Luo and Maranda, who were warming up along the way, happened to arrive at the corner flag area and caught up with the team's celebration.

Everyone jumped and hugged each other excitedly.

"awesome."

"We actually managed to take the lead!"

"I know how the boss will adjust things next."

"He will definitely make us park the bus."

Courtside.

Black Gold stood proudly in the command area.

A picture of a great coach.

They basked in the respectful gazes of those around them.

He thought to himself: "I'm so lucky, Dost managed to score that goal."

The other side.

Schmidt sat on the coach's bench, diligently writing and drawing.

Assistant coach Dino, on the other hand, was making exaggerated hand gestures towards the players on the field.

After a while.

The game restarted in the middle circle.

"In the last few matches, once Hecking's team takes the lead, it's impossible for them to be overturned."

"Wolfsburg adopted a low-block defensive stance."

"But Leverkusen's positional attacks are very three-dimensional."

The fat wolf, clad in armor, stood quietly guarding the gate.

An impatient lion bares its teeth and claws.

The 20th minute of the game.

Çalhanoğlu kept turning his head, observing the situation on the field.

He then started running quickly.

He received a pass from his teammate while positioned on the edge of the 14th zone.

With no one interfering, his passing skills were brought to their fullest potential.

Snapped!
The football skimmed along the grass, like a sharp blade, piercing through Wolfsburg's defense.

Wolfsburg's defenders are no pushovers; they reacted quickly.

However, Bayer Leverkusen's center forward, Kiessling, not only possesses exceptional heading ability but also has very delicate footwork, earning him the nickname "Little Ibrahimovic".

"Wow!"

"Light Steps!"

"Kiessling received a through ball, dribbled twice inside the Wolfsburg penalty area, and created a shooting angle!"

"He's 1.91 meters tall, yet he's incredibly agile."

"Goal!" Benaglio missed.

The white net was swirling.

1:1! ! !

The Bayer Arena erupted in applause.

Kiessling jogged to the corner flag area, yanked off his shorts, and showed his underwear to the crowd.

"Lucky Underwear".

"In 2010, his form was inconsistent, so his wife made him wear these underwear to the game, and sure enough, he broke his goal drought!"

"Underwear should be washed and changed frequently. Kids in front of the TV should not follow Keithlin's example."

"Calhanoglu's through ball was crucial; you could say that in a non-contact environment, his pass was absolutely brilliant."

Wolfsburg's substitute bench.

Maranda looked anxious: "We might not be able to hold on."

There are many factors that could make it impossible to hold on.

Li Luo didn't agree; he was unwilling to say anything discouraging about his team. His spatial perception model continued to operate, deconstructing the game.

far away.

Black Gold tried hard to suppress his inner panic and appeared calm.

"Damn it, Leverkusen always forces us into an attacking battle."

"Continue to hold?"

"They couldn't hold on. The defense was too tired. Wolfsburg players were expending even more energy in the low defensive phase."

"Suppress Çalhanoğlu! Attack them head-on!"

The other side.

The Bayer Leverkusen coaching staff celebrated briefly.

Dino continued to gesture to his teammates, making further offensive adjustments.

30 minutes.

Changes occur suddenly.

South Korea's Son Jung-hyun receives a pass from the backfield near the center circle.

Without any hesitation or delay.

They started their rampage directly from the flanks.

"what?"

"Wow, that's fast!"

"Flying like lightning!"

"Wolfsburg's defenses quickly contracted. Guilavogi pulled out and pushed forward to block Son Heung-min's attack path."

"what?"

"Son Heung-min changes lanes at high speed? Cuts inside!"

Bah!
Son Heung-min charged to the left side of the penalty area, raising his arm and swinging his leg.

The football curved out in an arc, spun wildly, and flew into the top right corner of the Wolfsburg goal.

2:1! ! !

The Bayer Arena erupted in applause.

"Goal again."

"Bayer Leverkusen, turn the score around."

South Korean boy Son ran to the corner flag area and made a "take a picture" gesture towards the stands.

Leverkusen fans responded with the loudest applause.

Studio.
-
When these two teams meet, their defenses become sieves.
-
[The first half isn't even over yet, and they've already scored three goals! This is awesome! Time to order takeout! Order takeout!]
-
What should we do? Wolfsburg looks like they're going to lose.
-
So what if they lost? Li Luo didn't play. Wolfsburg lost, but Luo didn't.
-
Oh well, it's alright. Bayern also lost to Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Hei Jin looked melancholy.

How did I end up being the background character?
The coaching staff of Bayer Leverkusen next door has become like themselves in the previous few games.

In the away stands, the Wolfsburg fans who had traveled with the team did not give up and continued to cheer loudly for their players.

Despite their comeback victory, Bayer Leverkusen did not slow down the pace of the game.

Instead.

Keep attacking!

Time flew by during the match.

45 minutes.

The situation has changed again.

"Pretty!"

"De Bruyne intercepted Çalhanoğlu's pass."

"Wolfsburg's transition attack."

De Bruyne did not pass the ball immediately; he had already observed the space between Leverkusen's two lines.

So he took a few big strides and dribbled forward.

This forced Leverkusen's midfield barrier line to move forward, thus widening the gap between the two lines.

Snapped.

The Belgian, in a running state, decisively launched an attack.

De Bruyne is better than Calhanoglu in several aspects: for example, his passing accuracy while running, his passing accuracy in duels, and his faster thinking speed.

"Dost!"

"coming!"

"Can he tie the score? Oh dear, he's too slow."

The Dutch center forward stumbled a couple of steps and fell to the ground.

34-year-old Bayer Leverkusen center-back Spahic easily regained possession.

At his age, Spahic can still play center-back in the Bundesliga, which shows he has something special. He keeps up with the times and has mastered a certain ability to pass the ball out, so he hasn't been eliminated by the times.

"Convert and convert."

"Kiesling, head it on."

"Bellarabi, control the ball, then present it to your big brother - Calhanoglu."

"Long-range shot."

"In again!"

Çalhanoğlu never stopped observing, so his attacking positioning was excellent. His only flaw was that his adjustment movements were too redundant.

The Wolfsburg castle, having broken out of the attack, found it difficult to reposition itself and rebuild its defensive line in a short time.

I watched helplessly as the football blasted through the net.

3:1! ! !

The Bayer Arena erupted in cheers.

Fall behind, overtake, and then win the game.

Çalhanoğlu spread his arms wide towards the stands: North Rhine-Westphalia, cheer for your Leverkusen star! One goal and one assist, stunning the entire stadium!

"At this moment, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half."

"Wolves, the visiting team, are already down by two goals."

"The situation is very serious."

"Hehehe, but I think there will be more goals in the game. Think about it, when Schmidt played against Bayern, he didn't defend when they were leading by three goals, so what's the chance now?"

"Leverkusen constantly disrupts your rhythm, making you follow their lead, reducing possession, reducing organization, and engaging in wide-open, attacking exchanges."

Wolfsburg fans' hearts sank to rock bottom.

They were down by two goals at halftime.

If they continue playing like this in the second half, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Halftime.

Wolfsburg locker room.

Black Gold pulled out the tactical board and moved the small magnetic flag.

The gunfire was rapid-fire.

A series of tactical adjustments were made.

"Don't rush."

"Down by two goals, we have time to equalize. Leverkusen's defense has many weaknesses."

"First of all, we need to control the game, control the middle lane, and not let them disrupt our rhythm."

Wolfsburg players are physically and mentally exhausted.

"Finally, I'd like to add something."

"Li comes on as a substitute at the start of the second half!"

The Wolfsburg players were immediately filled with renewed fighting spirit.

Chinese media outlets are finding this somewhat unusual.

In the past, Li Luo's highlight reels would dominate the trending topics on the internet around this time.

Now, there is utter silence.
Some fans checked foreign websites and found that South Korean media were praising their Son Heung-min to the skies while also taking a swipe at Wolfsburg.

The fifteen-minute break was over quickly.

The players from both sides returned to the pitch.

"Black Gold made the first substitution."

"Li Luo, come on as a substitute."

"Replace Dost?"

"A midfielder replaces a center forward."

"Is Wolfsburg going to play a strikerless formation?"

Cheers erupted from the away stands.

Leverkusen fans weren't too impressed: "We were two goals ahead, and Wolfsburg played so chaotically in the first half. Do you really think they can solve the problem by bringing on a brilliant midfielder?"

"Bayer, Bayer 04, we stand by you!"

The Bayer Leverkusen team anthem echoed through the Bayer Arena.

A gentle breeze along the North Rhine River merrily blew the white hem of her dress and her black hair.

Li Luo had no negative emotions.

He watched from the bench for 45 minutes and completely deconstructed Leverkusen's strategy for the game.

Trailing by two goals?

It's ok.

Beep!
Accompanied by the referee's whistle.

The second half of the game officially begins.

Bayer Leverkusen have possession of the ball.

Kiessling kicks off and passes the ball back to the backfield.

Li Luo immediately rushed across the center line and moved between the opponent's two lines.

"Pretty!"

"Gustavo successfully dispossessed Çalhanoğlu."

“Pass it to De Bruyne.”

"De Bruyne didn't think much and made a brilliant low long pass."

"Li Luo!"

Courtside.

Assistant coach Dino stands confidently in the Leverkusen command area.

He studied how to limit Chinese geniuses.

During halftime, I specifically reminded the midfielders and defenders.

"Don't just resort to physical confrontation."

"We need to cut off his passing lanes."

"Maintain proper positioning and distance, then assist in taking down Li Luo!"

Head coach Schmidt sat quietly on the bench, confident of victory, with a broad smile.

The other side.

Black Gold and the teaching assistants looked serious.

We're down by two goals.

Li Luo met the rolling football.

His spatial awareness allowed him to sense that nearby Leverkusen players were rapidly closing in.

Instinctively, I wanted to follow up with a 'facing forward to receive the ball and get rid of it' move.

In a trance.

A golden, bald phantom image materialized in his field of vision.

Snapped.

The instant you receive the ball.

The football quickly separated from the instep.

Spasic, who had moved closer, looked completely bewildered: Where's the ball? Where's the player?
At the Bayer Arena, tens of thousands of spectators were dumbfounded.

"Dragonfly skimming the water."

"The ball and the player pass each other."

“Let’s go!”

"So elegant."

"The instant Li Luo touched the ball, *thwack!* He changed the trajectory of the ball, and it bypassed the Leverkusen defender."

"He also turned around at the same time, bypassing the Leverkusen defender from the other side."

The commentator was somewhat incoherent.

Coach Zhang was deeply worried: "Moving the midfield forward puts us under immense pressure; it's not something that can be solved by getting rid of one player."

The moment Li Luo touched the ball again.

A Bayer Leverkusen defensive midfielder charged in.

The bald, ghostly figure in the field of vision recombine.

Gently lean forward.

The spatial perception model is spinning wildly.

Predict the distance to your position.

He stepped on the ball with his right foot.

The body rotates.

The instant the distance shortens.

Pull the ball back with your left foot.

The entire audience was stunned.

Black Gold was overjoyed.
