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

Chapter 53 The King of the Inverted Foot!

The Bundesliga matchday is here.

Li Luo and his teammates boarded the Wolfsburg bus and headed to Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Where are we now?

Guilavogui was loaned to Wolfsburg by Atletico Madrid during the summer transfer window at the beginning of the season, so the Frenchman is not familiar with the German environment.

"Ruhr region".

"Schalke 04's territory, the boss's hometown."

Captain Benaglio explained.

Wolfsburg has been on a winning streak this season, and the market value of most players has gradually increased, except for the goalkeeper and captain, whose market value has decreased.
why?
They conceded goals in almost every game, especially in the previous high-scoring match against Bayer Leverkusen, where they were thrashed three times.

The value of the defense is not a problem because those guys can find Li Luo or De Bruyne in time when they play counter-attacks, becoming a link in the counter-attack chain.

Guilavogi hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Li, can you participate in defense as 'deeply' as you do in the national team?"

De Bruyne frowned and gently interrupted, "Definitely not. Lee has top-notch vision. He can spot the opponent's formation flaws during their defensive transition, launch attacks, and ensure that our counter-attack chain doesn't break."

"He's not an engineer, he's a designer; he also needs to figure out how to break the deadlock."

"Borussia Mönchengladbach is very strong, and you can't have that kind of thinking if you want to beat them."

The tone was calm.

Her cheeks were flushed, and her chest was heaving.

The Belgian midfielder was not fully recovered from his injury, but insisted on traveling with the team.

Atletico Madrid's young star awkwardly scratched his head: "Of course I know, I was just saying a few words. I've been a substitute for too long, and it's been a long time since I started, so I'm a little nervous."

Everyone laughed.

You can't blame De Bruyne for putting pressure on his teammates.

His slight excitement stemmed from a glimmer of hope for winning the Bundesliga title.

Bayern Munich is extremely strong in the league.

Wolfsburg must maintain their winning streak to have a chance to catch up in points.

The competition is too fierce.

If we relax even slightly, we'll be left eating Bayern's exhaust fumes.

Guilavogui wasn't wrong either; his thinking actually aligns with Blackgold's football philosophy.

Li Luo was holding a tablet computer, watching recordings of Borussia Mönchengladbach's recent matches.

This season, Borussia Mönchengladbach has only conceded four goals in ten Bundesliga matches.

26-year-old Swiss goalkeeper Sommer delivered a stunning performance.

It's a very magical thing:

The coaching staffs of other Bundesliga teams are engaged in fierce competition, making targeted adjustments to their tactics before each match based on the opponent's strategy.

but.

This Borussia Mönchengladbach coach, Favre, is a bit different in this historical period.

He has exceptionally high aspirations.

Aside from making specific tactical adjustments for playing Bayern Munich, Favre said he doesn't care about other Bundesliga clubs.

Young coaches today don't develop their own football philosophies.

"Offense should strive for beauty, defense should strive for artistry; even in defeat, we'll still receive cheers from the fans."

but.

Black Gold suspects that Favre is the kind of guy who "pretends not to study at school but secretly stays up all night doing practice problems at home."

Borussia Mönchengladbach will not make any adjustments at the macro-tactical level.

Borussia Mönchengladbach is meticulous in their analysis, studying each and every player on their opponent's team.

Many football analysts have been misled.

"Oh dear, we've done a quantitative model for Borussia Mönchengladbach, and Favre always manages to achieve a return 20% higher than the model's expectations!"

"Higher than the expectations of all the world's top coaches."

"Guardiola, Ancelotti, Wenger, and Mourinho are not as good as him."

"Favre is the real great coach."

The data analysis model in 2014 was not comprehensive enough.

The most powerful analysis team was a group of Americans led by businessman Michael Carray.

Cruyff once joked: "If it were useful, the US team's tactics would be the most advanced, but what did they actually play? A pile of shit."

Through the car window, one can see abandoned factory chimneys, huge oil storage tanks, and newly built commercial districts, residential buildings, and parks coexisting.

In recent years, the Ruhr region has placed increasing emphasis on ecological restoration.

Gradually, a large expanse of green space and lakes came into view.

How much longer until we reach Borussia Mönchengladbach?

"very soon."

Borussia Mönchengladbach training base.

Favre is analyzing the characteristics of Wolfsburg for his students.

"Li's dominant foot is his right foot."

"Remember?"

"remember!"

The twilight was as dark as ink, staining the sky along the Rhine River.

The outline of the Borussia-Park stadium gradually became clear as the lights came on one by one.

A giant TIFO hangs down from above.

The night breeze blows.

The ponies in TIFO seem to have been given life, running joyfully.

Thousands upon thousands of green and white jerseys surged in the night, like an ocean kissed by moonlight.

"Zhuangdianertai! Zhuangdianertai! Good evening, audience!"

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

"Borussia Mönchengladbach vs. VfL Wolfsburg".

"The story of the little pony and the wolf is about to begin."

The commentator, with a hoarse voice, began introducing the celebrity in the stands: "Hanning Weyland, a 43-year-old rock star, grew up in poverty and had to embroider the Mönchengladbach logo onto his pants himself."

“A die-hard fan of his age has experienced several dark moments: Matthäus leaving Mönchengladbach to join Bayern Munich, and Reus leaving Mönchengladbach to join Borussia Dortmund.”

"Hehehe, yes, Matthäus made his Bundesliga debut for Borussia Mönchengladbach at the age of 18."

"Reus was about 19 years old when he made his Bundesliga debut for Borussia Mönchengladbach."

"Haha, we can't just say Bayern and Dortmund poach players. Different Bundesliga clubs poached players everywhere during different historical periods and when they were dominant."

"Many clubs have a history of wealth."

[Isn't it "Goodbye, Li Luo"? Haha, only two days have passed, and we'll see Li Luo again tonight.]
-
[De Bruyne is injured, I'm a little worried Wolfsburg will lose.]
-
Wenger was also a Borussia Mönchengladbach fan. When he was a child, he and his classmates swam across the Rhine River from France to watch a Mönchengladbach match.

[Buffon too, but he became a Borussia Mönchengladbach fan because he found the name hard to remember when he was a kid.]

Thanks to Li Luo, Zhan Jun also came to commentate on the Bundesliga, introducing us to the beautiful German women in the stands.

[In the city of Borussia Mönchengladbach, there's a napkin depicting the Last Supper used by Jesus and his twelve disciples, attracting countless pilgrims. Over a hundred years ago, didn't the Mönchengladbach players wear shorts to training and matches? I heard the church didn't allow them to wear shorts back then, hahaha!]

Pre-match press conference.

Black Gold remained calm.

"De Bruyne's injury is recovering well, and he will be able to play normally in the next match."

"Tactics. I don't want to talk about that too much."

"Li's wisdom is my wisdom."

clap clap.

There was warm applause.

The media reporters have collected another famous quote from the coach.

The other side.

Favre remained silent for a long time.

Where were we?

"Indeed, Wolfsburg's counter-attacks are captivating."

"Even if De Bruyne is injured, we will not concentrate our forces to strangle Li, because that would make the game less interesting."

“We don’t need to do that, and we are confident we can beat Wolfsburg.”

Player tunnel.

The atmosphere was harmonious.

Borussia Mönchengladbach midfielder Kramer greeted the Wolfsburg squad in a friendly manner.

German players all like him.

"See my WhatsApp profile picture? It's the one from the World Cup final, the one where I'm going head-to-head with Messi."

Everyone laughed.

The World Cup final a few months ago: Germany vs. Argentina.

Kramer was hit on the head by an opposing player.

Italian referee Rizzoli told the media: "During the rest of the match, Kramer suddenly asked me, 'Referee, is this the World Cup final?' I answered 'Yes'; he then said to me, 'Thank you, knowing this is very important to me.' Seeing that he was already incoherent, I informed Schweinsteiger of this and suggested that Germany substitute Kramer."

The World Cup final? He's out of his mind!

These two elements combined briefly made Kramer a popular European football star.

At the very front of the queue.

Zaka looked at the Chinese boy with a complicated expression.

Tonight, his mission is to take down the enemy.

The head coach told the media: "We won't let too many people try to eliminate Li Luo."

But it didn't say that logging was prohibited.

The Swiss midfielder was assigned this task: his job also had to align with Favre's macro-level "defensive art," which meant not directly targeting Li Luo, but waiting until Li Luo was active near the 30-meter line before taking him down.

The atmosphere gradually became heavy.

Feeling the other person's gaze, Li Luo turned his head and smiled amicably.

Zaka: "."

He is also a highly sought-after midfield talent in the Bundesliga, with excellent passing, long-range shooting, vision, and fighting spirit.

but.

This young player is still in his developmental stage and has several shortcomings: slow movement speed, low foot frequency, poor defense, excessive defensive movements, bad temper, and easy loss of control.

The referee team led both teams out of the passage.

The singing in the Borussia-Park stadium grew louder and louder.

Why does Borussia Mönchengladbach's anthem have fewer Prussian elements than other clubs' anthems?

"This involves regional identity in Germany and historical narratives."

Zhan Jun took a sip of tea and began to speak in detail.

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

Li Luo looked at the little pony mascot not far away and felt like he had seen it in some cartoon before.

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

"Borussia Mönchengladbach is using a 4-4-2 formation!"

Goalkeeper: Sommer.

"Defenders: Winter, Dominguez, Brouwers, Janczyk."

Midfielders: Herrmann, Kramer, Xhaka, Hahn.

Forwards: Kruse, Rafael.

"Coach Zhang, what do you think?"

"Hehehe, I think only Favre and Simeone's 442 has made timely reforms, while Mönchengladbach's 442 is essentially a 4411."

Studio.
-
Borussia Mönchengladbach's lineup is not bad.
-
Of course they have such a good record; they only occasionally lose to mid-to-lower-tier teams.
-
This year's Borussia Mönchengladbach team really isn't good at beating weaker teams.
-
Brothers, don't go all in on the high-scoring game in this match. Wolfsburg and Leverkusen can play a crazy attacking game, unlike Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Wolfsburg's lineup is 4-3-2-1!

Goalkeeper: Benaglio.

"Defenders: Sebastian, Naldo, Knoch, Ricardo."

"The three defensive midfielders are Gustavo, Maranda, and Guilavogui."

"Central midfielders: Li Luo, Caligiuri."

Forward: Bendtner.

"Coach Zhang, what do you think?"

"I don't understand the tactics of the famous coach Hecking. It can be described in one sentence: 'Among the trees and geese, there is a change of dragons and snakes.'"

Beep!
Accompanied by the referee's whistle.

The game officially begins.

Wolfsburg has possession of the ball.

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

Instead of pressing high up the pitch, Borussia Mönchengladbach gradually shifted their formation and closed out the space as the ball moved.

"Favre's football philosophy: Allow you to have the ball in non-dangerous areas."

"Pass the ball wherever you like."

"You can build your attack from the backfield as you please."

"I took advantage of this time to build a dynamic defensive line in my own half."

"Alright, the ball has crossed the center circle, and Borussia Mönchengladbach's 4-4-2 formation has changed to 4-1-2-3!"

Bendtner had a tough time playing.

As a center, he should be active in both lines of defense on the opposing team, acting as a disruptor.

But Borussia Mönchengladbach's turd was too dense to be stirred up with a stick.

He turned to his Wolfsburg teammates and gestured to convey a message.

It's too tight, I can't insert it.

The space is too cramped; there's no chance to push forward.

While the space was tight, Borussia Mönchengladbach players also moved flexibly along with Wolfsburg's attacking and defensive lines, making the dangerous areas even tighter.

Courtside.

The coaching assistant said, "Boss, why did you set up a 4-3-2-1 formation? It's bound to be countered by Borussia Mönchengladbach's style of play!"

Black Gold's lips twitched involuntarily.

"Do not worry."

"It's just that our offense was suppressed."

"On the defensive end, we contained them."

Li Luo played with ease.

In past Bundesliga and Europa League matches, opponents would send out tough, muscular players to thwart their efforts.

Borussia Mönchengladbach will not.

Greater emphasis is placed on compressing space.

A series of consecutive one-touch passes.

Continuous running.

Wolfsburg's formation has spread out wide, but they are struggling to advance into the opponent's half and into dangerous areas.

Geometric models in spatial perception operate rapidly.

No wonder Bayern Munich couldn't beat Borussia Mönchengladbach.

'Borussia Mönchengladbach didn't simply fight Bayern Munich with willpower and fighting spirit.'

Studio.
-
[It's over, it's definitely going to be a low ball.]
-
[In high-stakes matches, Borussia Mönchengladbach almost always plays short, low-scoring games; they neither get blown out nor blow out their opponents.]
-
[A crushing defeat against a weak opponent, bet on Borussia Mönchengladbach for over 2.5 goals; either they'll blow them out of the game, or they'll put up a close fight against a weak team and score a lot of goals.]
-
[They're all so well-behaved at this stage; nobody's bothering Li Luo.]

Wolfsburg has also changed its formation.

"Li Luo rotated to the forward line, forming a tall and fast partnership with Bendtner."

"I'm a little worried."

"Brouwers' defensive actions were very unclean."

in fact.

Brouwers is a good man.

He likes to grab the opponent's striker's body from time to time while defending, always managing to avoid the referee's sight.

but.

They have principles.

This Dutch center-back is 192 cm tall and weighs 86 kg.

At this moment, she was gently draping her arm around Li Luo's shoulder.

Li Luo was also supporting his waist with her hand.

The scene of the two flirting made the commentator want to laugh.

"The two of them."

"Hehehe, let me explain: it's like this, the football is passed over at any time, and the two people are supporting each other's bodies, so they can directly feel the moment the other person starts moving and the moment their body tends to adjust."

Li Luo gradually got into the zone.

It's quite obvious.

When the Chinese team plays against the Japanese team, the overall tactics are simple, the spatial changes are slow, and the pace is slow, which allows him to unleash his full potential.

Facing an opponent of Borussia Mönchengladbach's caliber is a different story.

He suddenly took a step forward and abruptly retreated.

The Dutch center-back did not pursue.

It was as if Li Luo's departure from that area meant it was no longer his responsibility.

Followed by.

Zaka, who had been eager to try, got to work and started chopping wood!
Snapped!
As Li Luo received the ball with his back to the goal, he lightly tapped it with the instep.

The football was provoked.

Then turn around.

One person, one ball; separated, then reunited.

Throughout the entire process, he easily shook off Zhaka, who was rushing in from the side.

The 60-point ball control attribute makes Zidane's 'Dragonfly Skimming' module easier to execute.

"grace."

"Composure".

“No one in Borussia Mönchengladbach was able to provide support. After Xhaka’s area was out of control, the other Mönchengladbach players just ignored it and the team collapsed their defense.”

"But Li Luo's passing speed is fast!"

"Flowing clouds and flowing water!"

Zhan Jun and Coach Zhang exchanged barbs, but before they could finish speaking, the situation on the field had already changed.

Li Luo didn't make many adjustments.

Just pick it up lightly.

The ball bypassed the Borussia Mönchengladbach defense, which was in the process of closing in.

"pretty."

"Bendner".

"They fought against Dominguez."

"Break the door!"

"Ouch, my weak foot. I couldn't put any power into it."

Sommer easily caught the ball.

Arsenal's president turned around and gave Li Luo a thumbs up.

The central message is: the timing of the message was excellent.

He then pointed to Dominguez, who had been bumped, patted his thigh, and explained that he had been "blocked" by this guy's foot and had no choice but to shoot with his weaker foot.

Li Luo seemed to understand something.

In spatial perception, geometric models exhibit subtle inclinations that are not observable.

He retreated to his position.

While thinking.

Follow the foot.

Reverse foot.

The Dutch center-back hooked his own left shoulder.

Xhaka charged in from the right. Dominguez "cut" Bendtner's right foot.

Despite Wolfsburg's continuous one-touch passing and well-organized runs, why is it still difficult for their overall formation to penetrate and advance the ball?
'Understood. '

'Favre didn't make any adjustments at the macro tactical level; instead, he focused solely on exploiting the weakest foot of all Wolfsburg's midfielders and forwards.'

Other Bundesliga clubs also care about this, but they won't be as strict about it.

'This is a matter of defensive details and tactical adaptation.'

'Grab the opponent's weak foot, then combine it with Favre's 4411 spatial compression; the power is amplified.'

'The key to breaking the deadlock is'

'Turning all teammates into masters of balanced footwork, fancy footwork, and outside-of-the-foot techniques? Impossible.'

'What if they pass to a teammate's weaker foot? Even less likely. That would slow down Wolfsburg's attacking tempo, because teammates would need more time to adjust. Every extra second each player spends adjusting adds up, giving Mönchengladbach ample time to regroup and adjust their defense.'

Therefore, the optimal solution is: pass the ball to me.

'King of the Weak Foot Module!'

The match continued.

Sommer really wanted to go big.

He felt his long passing ability was good, but the coaching staff wouldn't allow the goalkeeper to do so.

"Favre forbids long balls from the backfield."

"He was influenced by Cruyff's football philosophy when he was young."

"Dominguez is the key player in Borussia Mönchengladbach's playmaking from the back."

"That's the Spanish center-back who was just easily knocked down by Bendtner while dribbling the ball."

“He grew up in Real Madrid’s youth academy and later joined Atlético Madrid’s youth academy.”

"The rarest left-footed center-back in football."

Zhan Jun recounted interesting anecdotes about the people involved.

Coach Zhang then added that left-footed center-backs are scarce.

A left-footed center-back was a treasure in an era dominated by high-pressing tactics.

Talented players with this trait are the nemesis of high-post pressure.

Black Gold scoffed at it.

Because he doesn't oppress.

Wolfsburg quickly retreated and parked their buses.

Who cares about this or that, left foot or right foot, whether the ball comes out or not, what era's treasure, all that fancy stuff.

gradually.

A chorus of boos erupted from the Borussia-Park stadium.

Overlooking the green field under the spotlight.

The changes in formations by both sides inevitably lead one to think:

The brave and fearless little pony encountered a shameless fat wolf, clad in armor, blocking the goal.

And look at that smug look on the face of the guy in black and gold in the command area.

That's so disgusting.

So shameless.

Oh! Damn it, his starting formation is three defensive midfielders, is this the stage he's been waiting for?
Wolfsburg's teammates aren't idiots; they just can't handle Mönchengladbach during the attacking and offensive phases.

Li Luo isn't stupid either; he doesn't need to use too much brainpower to break through defenses.

While assisting in the sweeping.

They provided joint defense.

Teammates are often able to solve problems on their own.

Li Luo played with ease.

It was much easier than when we faced Bayer Leverkusen.

why?
During this historical period, the second-tier teams in the Bundesliga each had their own strengths and weaknesses.

If Borussia Mönchengladbach had the same attacking prowess as Bayer Leverkusen, or if Bayer Leverkusen possessed the same spatial compression as Borussia Mönchengladbach.

They've already reached the Champions League semi-finals.

"Very slow."

"Borussia Mönchengladbach's attacking pace is very slow."

"Generally, high balls are not played, and crosses are not usually made from the wings."

"Hehehe, Favre wants to pursue the beauty of the offensive phase."

"Coming!"

"The money-making center - Kruse!"

"Bendtner, who lost millions of pounds, probably often fantasized about being Kruse at the gambling table."

"Return the call."

"Kramer made a run and took a long-range shot, but it went wide. He's a midfielder who took a pay cut; it's said that he once felt his salary was too high and asked the club for a pay cut."

Some of Borussia Mönchengladbach's homegrown German players are quite strong and have had many opportunities.

But they pursue happiness even more.

Reus has several teammates from his youth academy who refuse to go anywhere, and other clubs can't lure them away no matter what they try. They are known as "Borussia Mönchengladbach holdouts".

Courtside.

Black Gold sat on the coach's bench with his legs crossed.

"As expected."

"Boss, but De Bruyne is injured and out. Our transition attack..."

"Li will solve this problem."

The other side.

Favre sat quietly on the bench, scribbling and drawing with a pen.

"The beauty of offense is not created by one side."

"Wolfsburg's defensive approach is preventing us from creating beauty."

The young teaching assistant seemed a bit anxious; could he at least speak in plain language?

"Boss, we can't break through."

Studio.
-
Borussia Mönchengladbach's positional attacks against strong teams are utterly atrocious; they just pass the ball around endlessly, making very ineffective passes.
-
I'm about to fall asleep.
-
Wake up! Wolfsburg's chance to counterattack has arrived.

"Beautiful!"

"Gustavo, a clean and decisive tackle."

"He saw Li Luo's gesture and passed the ball to Caligiuri, who was rushing down the wing."

"Li Luo also charged forward."

"Start directly from the middle lane."

Zhan Jun and Coach Zhang have experience: don't look at where the ball is, pay attention to where Li Luo is.

Borussia Mönchengladbach's high defensive line is different from other Bundesliga powerhouses; it is very layered and not easily breached.

Caligiuri, who was sprinting down the wing, noticed someone chasing him on the edge of his line of sight.

He decisively passed the ball towards the center.

Near the middle circle line.

Bendtner is having a showdown with Dominguez.

Nordic center forward vs. Iberian center back.

The latter has good footwork, a good sense of position, and accurate prediction of the ball's trajectory.

but.

The battle for the top largely depends on explosive power and physical strength.

A burst of intense hand-to-hand combat sounds came from the close-up sound recording equipment.

midair.

Dominguez was like a kite with a broken string.

Bendtner headed the ball across.

If it can trap my foot, can it trap my head?
"Heading the ball across the net."

"To be honest, his ability to set up the ball is average."

"Well done."

"Li Luo has stepped up."

Speed: 89 points.

The all-around blessing of the King of Incorrect Foot.

The soccer ball floated down towards us.

Li Luo, while running, bumped his head forward.

98. Header.

Exquisite precision, perfect lead time, giving yourself lead time.

Followed by.

Unleashing its full power.

The football, which had fallen onto the grass and bounced back up, was deflected forward by his right foot.

Dutch center-back Brouwers, who likes to grab people's balls, has the flaw of being slow to turn and slow to start, comparable to Giroud; at this moment, he can't do anything but eat the exhaust fumes of the Chinese teenager.

Gasps of amazement echoed through the Borussia-Park stadium.

"That's wonderful."

Even Borussia Mönchengladbach fans couldn't help but cheer!

"As the football fell, Li Luo nodded his head, propelled himself forward, and accelerated a second time. The moment the football bounced off the ground, he had already reached his position. He took a touch with his right foot."

"The whole process was seamless, and they managed to break through Borussia Mönchengladbach's high defensive line."

The genius goalkeeper - Sommer.

Spread your arms and lower your center of gravity.

He and Li Luo joined the Bundesliga in the same summer transfer window, and in just two months, they have already made a name for themselves.

It has an extremely strong ability to save shots on the goal line.

The reaction arc is short.

Calm and composed.

Unlike other goalkeepers, he didn't have any messy mental states.

Emotional control is an essential ability for outstanding players.

'Li's dominant foot is his right foot.'

"Based on past data, he would kick the door when the distance between us was about 16 meters."

The transition from slowing down to shooting was very smooth.

'If I time my attack perfectly and shorten the distance by a certain margin, his shooting angles will be limited to the left near corner and the right far corner.'

They think very quickly.

in a blink.

The genius goalkeeper timed his attack perfectly, and everything happened exactly as he had predicted.

So next.

All you need to do is observe the changes in Li Luo's right foot shape.

'Advance to the left near corner?'

'Or a finesse shot to the far right corner?'

The geometric model in spatial perception operates at its maximum speed.

Li Luo roughly understood Sommer's thoughts.

77 points shot.

Can his right foot break through the goal of the Bundesliga's genius goalkeeper?
There are no redundant adjustments.

The body is tilted.

Raise your arm.

Raise your left leg.

“I’m gonna cum!”

Bah!
In an instant.

Sommer reacted promptly.

Reverse foot?
He suddenly adjusted his body posture and lunged in the opposite direction to the right corner!
The football whistled as it hurtled towards the center of the goal.

The genius goalkeeper, still in a ground-based position, looked utterly astonished.

The white net ripples.

0:1! ! !

Crash.

The away stands erupted in incredibly enthusiastic cheers and applause.

Even some Borussia Mönchengladbach fans couldn't help but applaud.

In their eyes, Sommer couldn't possibly have misjudged the direction, and Li Luo must have made a subtle feint before shooting.

They had no idea about Favre's superior and inferior foot techniques, or his fancy and overly detailed techniques.

"Pretty!"

"The ball is in!"

"Left foot, reverse foot, and it's in!"

"Wow."

"Even with his weaker foot, he can still produce a shot of this quality, breaking through the defenses of a genius goalkeeper."

"The King of Incorrect Foot!"

"Yes, Li Luo used to have a severe disability in his left foot; this is from video footage of his time in Manchester United's youth academy."

"It's all thanks to Mr. Black Gold."

"A genius trainer."

"Li Luo seized this opportunity during the transition attack, broke through the defense, and scored with his left foot! Breaking the deadlock!"

"This helped Wolfsburg gain the lead."

Coach Zhang stammered and cautiously pointed out Li Luo's past shortcomings.

Zhan Jun promptly added to the report.

Studio.
-
【Awesome.】
-
[I, Luo, have never had any weaknesses; I just didn't like using my left foot before.]
-
[Somer is really strong, a genius goalkeeper. How could Li Luo score against him so easily?]
-
[Genius? They're just the threshold to meeting me, Luo!]
-
[Watching the replay, that header, that final push forward, that crucial touch—I feel Li Luo has improved in every way, little by little.]

Li Luo jogged to the corner flag area.

He waved his fist.

Leap high.

Crash.

Wolfsburg fans who accompanied the team on their away trip responded with the loudest cheers.

"Li Li Li~"

"The little pony from Wolfsburg, Li Li Li~"

The teammate, who was warming up while wearing a vest, quickly rushed over.

I don't know who tackled Li Luo.

Immediately, everyone rushed forward and lay down, piling up a tall Arhat.

De Bruyne stormed over, fuming: "Don't hurt Lee!"

"Want to come together?"

"it is good!"

suddenly.

Bendtner climbed up from the crowd.

"Li, I need to go over there for a bit, something's come up."

Arsenal's president strode toward the fourth official, pointing to the LED number board in the air: "Goal scorer: Li Luo, there should be a small parenthesis after that to indicate that I am the assist provider."

Courtside.

Black gold claps its hands.

"I said, Li will solve the problem."

"Boss, that's right. Many years from now, the whole world will deeply understand your football philosophy: solid defense, and leave the rest to Lee and De Bruyne."

"Uh-huh!"

The coaching assistant, team doctor, and logistics staff were overjoyed.

Working in Wolfsburg is wonderful.

There are winning bonuses every week!

The other side.

Favre's gaze was blank.

"Li's dominant foot is his right foot."

"It's the right foot."

The young teaching assistant was on the verge of tears: "Boss, now we know, Li's left-footed shooting is also excellent!"

Sommer crouched on the grass, watching the crowd celebrating at Wolfsburg.

A little skeptical about life.

"why?"

"How can his left foot produce a shot that's just as powerful as his right foot?"

"Van Basten?"

"Cazorla?"

Xhaka, who was passing by, did not respond. He angrily rushed into the net, picked up the ball, and ran back.

Next.

Can not give up.

You need to realize your own value!
We must reverse this!

For the remainder of the match.

Xhaka's talent had no chance to be displayed.

Wolfsburg held firm and defended the city to the death.

Three defensive midfielders.

Three tough, athletic, physically gifted, and defensively sound players.

In addition, Li Luo tirelessly provided defensive support and cover.

They withstood Borussia Mönchengladbach's leisurely positional attacks.

"The Tactical Game Theory of the Famous Coach Black Gold".

"Choose the most pragmatic approach based on the specific battle situation."

"De Bruyne is out due to injury."

"It's impossible to let Li Luo keep charging forward in the Bundesliga with its high intensity and pace."

"Wolfsburg places great importance on the quality of counter-attacks. Li Luo's vision and passing direction greatly improve the first half of the counter-attack chain, making him a strategic decision-maker. De Bruyne's passing and running abilities ensure the quality of the second half of the counter-attack chain, and his deadly pass directly threatens the defense."

"The Bundesliga's best midfield duo, neither of them can be missing."

In 2014, the Bundesliga was a vibrant mix of young talents, formidable players, and innovative tactical approaches from young coaches, resulting in a level of competition that was not as low as it would be many years later.

It's worth noting that during this period, the Bundesliga ranked second among the top five European leagues in UEFA coefficient rankings.

Except for Bayern Munich.

Schalke 04, Borussia Dortmund, Borussia Mönchengladbach, and other teams have made significant contributions to the Champions League, often dominating weaker teams in the competition.

Beep! Beep beep~
finally.

The referee blew the final whistle.

Borussia Mönchengladbach 0-1 Wolfsburg

The live stream room was filled with howling and wailing.
-
Wolfsburg has only had one low-scoring game all season so far, and I just happened to bet on it.
-
[Me too! My cousin said he'd double my salary, so I went all in on Wolfsburg, and now I'm devastated.]

[Got it. We can only bet on the Wolfsburg over 2.5 goals if De Bruyne and Li Luo are both on the field.]

　Sorry for the late update. I really didn't want to stop updating, so I finished the whole match in one go. I updated more than 10,000 words today.
