Chapter 214: Is It Waste Firewood? Or is it a talent that can be created?
Elora is a regular right-back and Patrick Vieira used him to play as a central midfielder in the last game, and it worked very well. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Latanzio admired Vieira's brilliant decision, which he later analyzed.
Although the veteran's speed has dropped significantly from his peak, in terms of passing, the average number of passes per game and the success rate have been steadily improving over the past two years.
Not only that, but a comparison of statistics in all aspects shows that he is more than capable of playing the defensive central midfield position under Vieira's new tactical system.
When Elora came on the pitch, he stood behind Frank Lampard in the center with the wide coverage and fierce confrontation ability, and completely played the role of a defensive barrier and a midfield umbrella.
Avies didn't anticipate this at all, and the Blues' attack didn't open up as soon as he had expected it to be.
New York City have built a stronger defensive system in the midfield than in the first half, which has boosted the confidence of the players, and it is time to watch the attackers up front.
Patrick Vieira told Li Liang in public in the dressing room that he was free to move around in midfield, tasked with feeding Villa with shells and covering up with Frank Lampard to take turns plugging in.
Avies specially replaced Mizga, who was born as a marking center back, and made it clear that his responsibility was to be responsible for marking Li Liang in the midfield link, in order to curb Li Liang after he was given the "privilege" of considerable free movement.
Mitz's acceleration is on par with Li Liang, but the rest of the game is almost completely dominant.
Several confrontations ended in Mizga's complete victory. Li Liang found that this opponent was far more terrifying than the "Black Spider" Fofana of Manchester City's reserves. Compared with his height of 1.91 meters and obvious physical strength, Mizga is best at one-on-one interception.
In the face of Mizga's ferocious pressing, Li Liang felt that it was difficult for him to even see Villa's movement, let alone pass the ball to him.
Whenever the ball reached his feet, Mizga would follow him, using his excellent defensive awareness and anticipation to jam Li Liang's possible movement routes and the most favorable passing angles.
Li Liang tried to strengthen his lateral running to shake off his opponent, but he still couldn't get rid of Mizga.
He remembered his previous experience and began to consciously retreat, only to find that Mizga was unmoved.
As soon as Li Liang passes the half, he will immediately press up; And when Li Liang dropped back into his own half, Mizga would help Pasalic to help up Frank Lampard.
And Wallace, who is also superior in speed and body, also clings to Villa tightly, making it difficult for Li Liang to "connect" with Villa through long passes.
Another striker, Taylor, was helpless against the Blues' tall and strong centre-back, Hector.
Without a reliable point of play forward, and unable to get enough space to move in the opponent's half, Li Liang's output to his own attack was successfully reduced to a minimum by Mizga.
Li Liang quickly retreated from the attacking core that Vieira had high hopes for to a mediocre character who could only play the role of a transition ball in midfield.
Vieira frowned, and with the same expressions as him, Latanzio and Perez had the same expression, and they did not expect that Avies would give Li Liang such a Premier League-level "treatment" in their tactical studies in the past few nights.
Vieira hesitated, but decided to wait a little longer.
Southgate looked at Li Liang, who was struggling on the field, and sighed slightly.
He took out his phone and glanced at it, got up and said to Adams, "I'm sorry Tony, I have something to do first." If there's anything you need me to help with in the future, give me a call! With that, he got up and said hello to everyone, and then left.
Adams was well aware that Southgate was a little disappointed that Li Liang was far below what he had boasted to him.
As the manager of the England Under-21 team, Southgate was able to take time out of his busy schedule to watch Li Liang's game, and he already missed himself very much.
Adams sat there and started to get a little frustrated, he thought of everything, but he didn't realize it.
Li Liang's physical, technical, consciousness and even game reading ability have reached a relatively good level, but he has certainly not encountered an opponent with such strict tactical discipline.
Unlike the underdog Manchester City's reserve team, Li Liang looks unlikely to find a way to break the opposition's complete tactical blockade in front of today's Blues reserve team, which arguably has reached the level of some Premier League teams' "quasi" first team.
Gard saw that Adams was a little sad, and he comforted him softly: "Tony, the fate of man, sometimes even if you try harder, it won't help. It seems too late for him to get into high-level football, and it's hard to really adapt to professional football.
And if he really hasn't undergone any systematic training at all, as you said, it would be a miracle that he can play like this. You don't have to blame yourself, it's great that he can do this. ”
Beckham stared into the arena and whispered to Henry, "There's only one thing Lee lacks - experience, and there may not be time for him to make up for it." ”
Henry also smiled wryly and leaned into Beckham's ear and said, "I advised Tony not to have too many illusions.
At Lee's age, it is impossible for him to gain experience, he is already destined to miss out on the world of professional football......"
Mendes no longer paid attention to Li Liang, and he asked Mourinho with some worry: "Jose, Falcao's form has not recovered, why do I think he is worse than when you were here?"
What's next? Half a year ago, he told me that I had to prove myself in the Premier League, but he is like this, even if he cuts his weekly salary in half, it will be difficult for him to find a Premier League contract again. ”
Mourinho was still paying attention to Li Liang's performance, and he didn't listen to Mendes seriously, he said as if he was talking to himself: "If this guy can come up with another way in such a situation, then I swear to sign him!" ”
Mendez's eyes widened and he asked in surprise, "My God!" What are you talking about, Jose!? You're going to sign Falcao back to Manchester United? He's already failed there once, aren't you enough!? ”
Mourinho laughed and said: "No, no, no, Jorge, I mean the number 37!" ”
Mendes was very surprised, pointed at Mourinho and turned to Zouka and asked: "Boy, he said he wanted to sign that 'scrap wood'?" Tell me, am I crazy or is he crazy? ”
Yadirm suddenly asked Grimandi: "How old is the number 37?" ”
Grimandi looked at Yadilm with some surprise and asked, "Leonardo, do you mean that kid?" I'm afraid it will disappoint you, he's 25 years old! ”
Yadirmu asked again, and after making sure that he had heard correctly, he shook his head helplessly: "If it is this age, then it is really not unusual for him to be at this level."
If he's only 20 years old, he can really try it out in our reserves, and he really looks like a talent to be made. ”
