Chapter 10 What is Positional Play?

Bayer Leverkusen dressing room.

Old man Toph held a list and kept scribbling on the small blackboard.

The tone was full of anxiety:

"After Pep Guardiola took over Bayern, the tactical system of their youth team has also changed a lot."

"It's not just the fast soccer that used to press high in the high post, it's Positional Play!"

"The most important thing to note is that they don't have more than four players on the same horizontal line on the pitch, and there won't be more than two players on the same vertical line! The layering of this formation structure is not comparable to us! ”

"Don't understand? Let me explain, if their Kurt cuts inside, the full-backs will be out! ”

"Their players' positions, going to rotate like crazy on the offensive and defensive ends! So as to grasp the advantage of the scene! Kurt is at the heart of them! ”

The youngsters were a little confused.

It is simply impossible to digest this sudden infusion of knowledge in a short period of time.

The assistant teacher glanced at the old man, and then said, "It's okay, everyone play well..."

Everyone: "..."

Old man Toph sighed and assigned the tasks to the young players in detail.

Since the development of modern football, there are no more than three factors to grasp the advantage of the game: the number of local personnel, individual ability and position.

This is all achieved by the players occupying specific areas on the pitch both vertically and horizontally.

Obviously, his own young players cannot be compared with the demon stars of the Bayern youth team.

"In short, as long as we have the ball, we can move collectively and expand the attacking surface and give..."

The young generals understood this sentence.

Just pass the ball to Li Kang, and Li Kang will go straight to Havertz.

The premise is... I can touch a ball.

....

Ten minutes later.

Players from both sides came to the tunnel.

Split into two columns.

Get ready for admission.

Bayern's players have confidence and ease written on their faces.

The young Leverkusen generals couldn't help frowning when they listened to the loud shouts outside the passage.

They rarely play away from home and it's hard to think back to the kind of boos from thousands of Bayern fans last season.

In the Youth Champions League, it is extremely rare to encounter this kind of "devil" stadium!

Kurt's expression was indifferent.

If you feel like you're still playing in the youth team, you're wasting your time.

His gaze swept over the Leverkusen queue and lingered on Li Kang for a moment.

Asian?

The number 10 jersey?

That's the key player who beat Borussia MΓΆnchenchen?

Kurt withdrew his gaze, a hint of disdain on his face.

....

The game is about to begin.

The referee team led the players from both sides out of the aisle.

Sebena Stadium, suddenly boiling!

Bayern fans chant the names of their youngsters in a rhythm!

Among them, Kurt's name is like the leitmotif!

He is their future!

When players from both sides step onto the pitch.

Some Bayern fans noticed the black-haired Asian American.

"Leverkusen youth team has an Asian American? When was this? ”

"Don't you know? Spread all over Westphalia! A new star from La Masia! It's a... Dragonborn! ”

"Dragonborn... It's so disgusting! Don't get caught up in the Dortmund idiots again! ”

The reason why this part of Bayern fans hates the Dragons is simple:

On the Asian trip, Dortmund's high-level Walz declared: The Dragon Country is ***.

In 2013, after Dortmund lost to Bayern, the then head coach publicly stated: Bayern is like a dragon country businessman, greedy ****!

This has led to the disgust of some Bayern fans towards the Dragons, and they are eager to dissociate their own team from the Dragons.

Soon.

At Sebena Stadium, there were bursts of boos and insults from the stands on all sides, and they frantically flocked to the Dragonborn teenagers on the field.

Old man Toph angrily pointed to the stands and cursed.

Bayern coach Organthaler also hurriedly turned back to stop the inappropriate remarks of the fans.

But his voice was quickly drowned out by the smashed drink bottles and popcorn.

Li Kang is mute.

Not deaf.

His expression was still calm.

.....

Dragon Kingdom Live Room.

The little anchor doesn't understand German.

But it can also be judged that it is not a good word.

"This group of foreigners are spraying our Brother Li!"

"! Last friendly as well! These ghosts are hanging ** flags and slogans in the stands! ”

"Brother Li, explode them!"

- [Calm, Messi and Ronaldo are also often sprayed and smashed away from home, what's the use, youth team field, these remarks will not be punished by FIFA! ] 】

- [I'll translate and translate, you won't be able to calm down...]

- [These ghosts really have a face, say these things to a teenager!] 】

- [Football is war in peacetime, and scoring a goal is the best counterattack!] 】

....

"Beep!"

The referee blew the whistle and the game officially began!

Bayern youth kick-off.

As soon as they opened, the whole formation pressed forward like crazy.

The young players in the midfield, in the process of advancing, frequently changed positions, showing an extremely terrifying sense of oppression.

Football is always passing at a very fast rate.

There were also deafening shouts from the Bayern fans.

It made the Bayer Leverkusen youngsters a little nervous.

I couldn't hear Coach Top's command at all.

Just two minutes.

Leverkusen's backline was penetrated!

The two centre-backs were pulled by the opposing strikers.

Gaps are exposed.

Kurt was on the right side of the edge of the penalty area and received a pass from a team-mate on the wing.

Unmarked!

His inside foot thrashed the football!

A perfect arc towards the top left corner of the goal!

The Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper was two seconds slower!

Bang!

The soccer ball hit the crossbar hard!

Pop the bottom line!

The audience sighed!

"It's dangerous! Brothers, this Bayern No. 10 has a bit of strength! ”

"Don't panic! The race has just begun! ”

Kurt didn't show any disappointment and gave a thumbs up to his team-mate who passed the ball.

The Bayern youth team players also ran back to the centre circle with a smile.

In their opinion, Bayer Leverkusen are too weak and this match is destined to be a "slaughter".

Bayer Leverkusen's youngsters have gradually adapted to the interference of off-field factors.

The young faces did not show half of the decline.

...

Pitchside.

Coach Toph looked helpless.

He rubbed his face and sat back in the dugout.

In fact, the suspense of this game is not much, it is just that Leverkusen conceded a few goals.

The other side.

Instead of paying attention to the game on the field, Augenthaler kept waving his hand to stop inappropriate comments from nearby fans.

The little assistant coach suddenly felt that the image of his coach was a lot greater.

He was about to pat himself on the back.

The Bayern youth coach shook his head: "Damn, these stupid fans, why should we insult a weak person when we win a game?" Back to the Football Association's fines, we have to bear it again! ”

Little Teaching Assistant: "..."
