Chapter 37 The mantis stalks the cicada
Wolfsburg didn't have time to switch to bus mode.

Everything happened so fast.

The Europa League is a battlefield where things can change in an instant.

Moving from a high defensive line to a low defensive line is not simply a matter of retreating. During the change, it is also necessary to disrupt the opponent's passing and receiving connections, and to maintain the formation structure and spacing as much as possible, otherwise the opponent will easily tear it apart.

When retreating to defend, the fierce fat wolf should be careful not to expose its rear end.

but.

The instant Maranda saw Li Luo's gesture.

Without the slightest hesitation, without any doubt.

They decisively abandoned the Inter Milan winger who was leading them astray.

Retreat decisively!

"What are you kicking?"

"Why is Maranda retreating so recklessly? Doesn't it pay attention to the depth and spacing?"

"Hehehe, one person won't make a difference."

"Hmm? Inter Milan have exploited the strong and weak sides of Wolfsburg's high defensive line!"

"Handanovic, long passes are aimed at finding targets, not players."

"Icardi now has the opportunity to fight alone!"

Black Gold frowned.

The teaching assistant was terrified.

Mazzarri was full of confidence: Against Wolfsburg, who have no European experience, he only needs to make slight adjustments to the ball distribution system to win.

The trajectory of the football sparked cheers at the San Siro.

It fell to the middle circle line.

One shot.

In the shot, two tall figures are locked in a passionate embrace.

Inter Milan's center forward Mauro Icardi vs. Wolfsburg's center-back Marco Knoch.

"Knoch is too thin."

"Icardi's physique isn't fully developed yet, but he's more than capable of taking down his opponents."

"Danger."

Very serious consequences.

Icardi controlled the ball, and with other Inter Milan attackers making forward runs, Wolfsburg's defense was about to be torn apart.

The cheers at the Meazza reached their peak.

Although the team has declined, the fans who witnessed its glory know what this means.

Studio.

[I remember now, Mazzarri did the same thing to Manchester City and Chelsea in the Champions League a couple of years ago. The methods of maneuvering the opponent's high defensive line to exploit both the strong and weak sides have evolved, but the ultimate tactical goal remains the same.]
-
The methods may evolve with the times, but the goal remains unchanged.
-
[Mazzarri's style of play, in the simplest terms, is essentially about "possession of the ball": utilizing changes in the distribution of the ball from the backfield, the convergence and contraction of the midfield on the flanks to draw space, ultimately creating the most comfortable one-on-one opportunities for the center forward at the forefront of the formation; in the 3-5-2 formation, the 5, aside from two or three midfielders who create space, the rest directly push forward to support Icardi, ultimately forming a numerical advantage in attack.]

No wonder Coach Zhang said: "Make our independent attacks look like transition attacks."

What are you guys talking about? How come you type so fast?

suddenly.

A little black egg came back.

Maranda.

An all-around midfielder who strictly follows Li Luo's instructions.

Stepping out with long, jet-black legs.

While poking the ball, he also used his strong hip and leg muscles to forcefully push Icardi aside.

"The advantages of the buttocks."

"Everything has its counter."

"The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind."

"Maranda played very intelligently, successfully intercepting the ball and passing it to Li Luo."

The Inter Milan players were a bit confused.

Just when it seemed like they were about to tear apart Wolfsburg's defense, Icardi conceded a goal?
wrong.

That little black guy didn't have that high football IQ in Wolfsburg's past videos.

Could it be that kid Li Luo's doing?
Oops.

Inter Milan didn't have time to get into position and track back!
Geometric models in spatial perception.

Li Luo saw Inter Milan's formation in disarray.

catch the ball.

Turn around.

Direct drive.

He touched the ball twice with his right foot.

They orchestrated Wolfsburg's rapid transition offensive.

The football transformed into a blunt knife, piercing through Inter Milan's defense.

"Wow!"

"This time, they really seized the opportunity to exploit the weakness!"

"Top-notch vision."

"Bendtner!" "One-on-one."

The Meazza Stadium's green field is like an isolated island floating in mid-air, watched by tens of thousands of eyes in the darkness.

Bendtner's brain couldn't process too much information at once.

He only saw Inter Milan preparing to launch a fierce attack, but the ball reached Li Luo's feet and then rolled towards him.

Is the pass sent to the dominant foot side?
Arsenal's president quickly adjusted his physical orientation.

He used every ounce of his strength and ran as fast as he could.

Receive the ball.

One more trip.

Finally, he took a shot.

Bah!
Snapped!
The close-up sound recording equipment transmitted two sounds of the ball hitting the ground.

Bendtner's shot.

Handanovic's save.

The football flew weakly out of bounds.

"Saint Handa has done it again!"

"This Inter Milan goalkeeper has a high success rate in making one-on-one saves and has set a Serie A single-season penalty save record."

Bendtner knelt down, burying his face in his hands in frustration.

Inter Milan's goalkeeper got up, wanting to blame his teammates, but realized it wasn't their mistakes; the opposing team had been cunning.

Inter Milan fans erupted in enthusiastic applause at the San Siro stadium.

Most of the applause was for Saint Handa.

Some of the applause was for the Chinese youth.

[Shock level +1!]

[Shock level +1!]

【.】

Li Luo was slightly surprised: This group of veteran Serie A fans.
I only 'ignored' Mazzarri's three-center-back passing system on a tactical level, and I gained several thousand shock points?
Are they imagining something?

The ball is currently in a dead ball phase.

Maranda ran over excitedly: "Lee, you almost turned me into Makelele!"

far away.

De Bruyne's cheeks flushed, and he gave the Chinese boy a thumbs-up, a fleeting look of admiration in his eyes.

The other Wolfsburg teammates shared the same thought.

As if playing a single-player game, Li Luo changed the difficulty from 'hard' to 'easy'.

Courtside.

The teaching assistants chattered away, giving a long analysis.

Black Gold clapped his hands expressionlessly: "Yeah, Li thinks the same way I do!"

"A low-block defense can minimize the benefits of Inter Milan's passing system!"

"We don't need to expend too much energy in the attacking third."

The other side.

Mazzarri ruffled his thick hair and murmured:
"That Chinese kid really does have eyes all over his body, he sees through everything."

"It will be difficult for us to create space next."

"Let me think about it."

During the dead ball phase, Coach Zhang tried his best to explain to the audience in the simplest terms.

"Look here, Maranda saw Li Luo's gesture and immediately retreated."

"The other Wolfsburg players did not continue to press."

"After possession changed hands, Inter Milan couldn't regain control, and their attacking formation couldn't be broken back for the time being. Li Luo seized the opportunity and launched a counter-attack."

"It sounds simple, but it actually reflects Li Luoduo's wisdom in many ways."

Comment area.
-
[Li Luo is just lazy; he skipped the steps to solve the problem.]
-
[If it were a younger version of Klose or Beckenbauer, they would definitely have thoroughly analyzed Mazzarri's on-the-spot changes to his passing system, probed for weaknesses, provided the perfect solution, and ultimately crushed Mazzarri tactically.]
-
[Hey kid, tell me, did Li Luo restrain Mazari?]
-
[He restrained himself]
-
[Loszlo truly deserves to be called Manchester United's heir apparent and the future of Chinese football.]

VIP private room.

The daughters of the Apennines families also looked at the Chinese teenagers on the green field with admiration.

They couldn't understand what the staff were explaining.

I just felt that Li Luo's playing style was very elegant and composed. When he gestured to direct his teammates, he was like a general who was strategizing.

So handsome!
pity.

Times have changed.

Italy's economy is in recession.

Li Luo's future commercial value is immeasurable.

According to news articles in the toilet paper newspaper, he is not a womanizer and is unlikely to be like the star athletes of the past, who could be easily played with by rich heiresses, beautiful women, or glamorous actresses.
