Chapter 248: Don't You Slow Down Your Pace?

Mourinho stood in the command area with a grim face.

As early as last season, he kept a close eye on Li Kang's performance in the game.

Unfortunately, I couldn't take him to Stamford Bridge.

If Chelsea have him

"This kid is deliberately slowing down the tempo and testing the spacing of our defensive line."

"It's exactly the same as Pep Guardiola's when he was younger."

Time seems to have returned to Camp Nou more than 20 years ago.

Barcelona have an unruly assistant coach who often gets into play with opposing players or coaches.

Enrique, Vilanova and Pep Guardiola always run to the sidelines as soon as they get to the dead ball

Busquets' dad would take the opportunity to take off his gloves and throw black punches.

Coach Louis van Gaal will be holding on to the fourth official's mouth and foaming at the mouth.

Thick-haired Ten Hag in the stands. Will persuade Cruyff to control his emotions.

In the stands.

Ferguson was breezy and chewing gum slowly.

He certainly remembers the Arsenal number 10.

In last season's Champions League qualifiers, Manchester United was the one who collapsed.

His hands no longer trembled.

The Red Devils, who have signed a number of strong reinforcements, are about to use the tactical storm of this game to restore the confidence of all supporters.

Ibrahimovic played with ease.

He observed Li Kang's every move on the green field, and he couldn't arouse much interest.

Is it a talented midfielder who is different from Zinedine Zidane, Andrea Pirlo and Xavi?

Over the years, Zitanla has traveled to the top five leagues and played against countless bright stars.

'Referee Atkinson enjoyed the slow-paced progression, and by the end of the 2016/17 season, he was nicknamed the damned, the Red Devils' nemesis, Liverpool's twelfth opponent, Arsene Wenger's demons.

"He also had an exchange of blows with another whistle whistler, Clattenburg."

"Anthony Martial raised his elbow and gave Cazorla a touch, probably not on purpose."

"Xhaka quickly got his revenge and accidentally tackled Pogba!"

"The referee did not say that the loose penalty scale is destined to be a smooth-paced Premier League game!"

Time passed imperceptibly amid bursts of boos and cheers.

Arsenal were firmly in possession but struggled to get into United's dangerous zone.

Li Kang's moves and passes looked patient.

No one restricts him.

No one pressed or deliberately changed his passing position.

There was no one to cover his partial vision.

But United's coaching staff did their homework well, with the three lines of defence moving in unison to stifle his mid-to-long-range shots.

The scene was dreary.

Li Kang has done this test paper, but in the details, he must consider the different characteristics of the opposing players, test the weak side of each defensive line, and balance his own offensive and defensive resources.

Defensive resources?

Because Mustafi and Maguire on the back line have a super desire to attack, they can't help but want to burst into the middle when they kick, which scares Bellerin and Monreal on both wings and dare not go too deep.

But it's okay.

The two defenders ventured forward from time to time, which also increased the numerical advantage in midfield, allowing Arsenal to complete the counter-attack quickly even if they lost possession.

In order to maintain the structure of the triple defence, it is difficult for Manchester United to quickly open up the width of the attack in the first place on the counter-attack.

Fifteen minutes before the game, no one could help anyone.

How to say it.

The overall strategic tendencies of the two sides are conservative with a hint of bohemianism.

Dead Ball Phase.

Arsene Wenger called Maguire and Mustafi to his side.

"You can step forward appropriately to participate in the attack, and pay attention to Lee's gestures."

'But whatever the situation, you have to leave someone in the back line.'

The two centre-backs nodded earnestly.

Maguire, in particular, had a look on his face.

18th minute of the game.

Manchester United's half-time 40-metre zone.

Cazorla took a deliberate pause after receiving the ball, attracting a tackle from Ibrahimovic and Anthony Martial.

The two-foot equalizer has a fast ball rate and a wide field of vision.

Smack.

The ball raced down Anthony Martial's flank and passed to Li Kang, who ran out of space.

Pogba immediately turned and retreated to support the second line of defence.

Meanwhile.

United's first line of defence was only the stupid Lingard.

"Pogba's defensive awareness is so much better than before, he's lazy at Juventus."

'His timely drop strengthened the depth of interceptions in front of the back line, and it was difficult for Arsenal to speed up.

"The offensive and defensive axis, Manchester United's 100 million dollars are worth it!"

"Li Kang is not in a hurry, organize slowly, hey? Rhinos wonderful! ”

God's perspective.

Sanchez frantically switched back down the left.

Alvaro Morata was roaming between United's two centre-backs, ready to move.

The little tiger position dragged a little back, pulling out the sprint space.

The Gunners' forward line is also one of the best in Europe.

Li Kang suddenly realized that he didn't need to be involved in every moment of the game-breaking as he did in the Leverkusen era.

There is no need to deconstruct and peel back the cocoon as slowly as before.

Not to mention forcibly instigating and terminating at the same time.

The Bullet Time Legends module does not need to be enabled.

All you need to do is test the last line of United's defence in the 30-metre zone.

The rest is up to the top teammates.

Bang!

The soccer ball rises off the ground.

A rainbow arc was made over Old Trafford.

De Gea's pupils shrank, he took two steps back, raised his hand to point out the approximate landing point, and motioned for his teammates to quickly fill in the position.

Back at the club, his sense of danger is acute.

Unfortunately, Morata's sense of smell is just as sharp.

The Spanish Blade suddenly activated, shaking off Bailly and Chris Smalling.

Meanwhile.

The linesman pressed the flag tightly and moved quickly.

No offside!

"It's a lot in advance!"

"Only Luke Shaw is keeping up with Morata!"

The left side of Manchester United's penalty line.

Morata easily squeezed away the young Luke Shaw with his ass.

How explosive is the Manchester United youngster's talent?

At the age of eight, Wenger was eyed, but he chose Southampton, which was further away from home.

At the age of 15, he entered the first team.

He was named in the Premier League Team of the Year at the age of 17.

At the age of 19, with a value of 38 million euros, he broke the record for the highest transfer value of a player under the age of 20. Leaving Southampton to join Manchester United.

Louis van Gaal is very discerning.

What is Luke Shaw's only drawback at this time? Bad relationship with Mourinho.

Right.

In less than two months of getting along, the two had friction.

Pitchside.

Mourinho roared loudly.

He couldn't accept that his defenders had been knocked down by Morata!

The other side.

Arsene Wenger and Boulder ran out of the dugout excitedly.

It's so simple.

A midfielder with a wide vision, superb long passes, extraordinary consciousness and terrifying ball quotient, if paired with an all-round center forward above the passing line, can directly solve the problem!

"Morata swept the ball into the box!"

"The Manchester United backline didn't have time to shrink! Luke Shaw got up quickly and chased after him. ”

"Is there a ball?"

Bang!

Morata shoots with a shot!

De Gea's fall to the ground and swoop in the near corner!

As long as it is not in the face of Lee's shot, there is no panic at all

Studies have shown that Manchester United's goalkeeper has the fastest 0.18-second reaction arc on the planet, which is comparable to lightning.

It's not just a brag out of thin air.

It is a group of mathematicians based on the distance between the ball and the goal, the speed of the movement, combined with the blocking time of David De Gea, and the height of the save.

Tens of thousands of spectators at Old Trafford held their breath as they watched the battle between two young Spaniards!

The soccer ball didn't hit the near corner as expected!

It's like a kick, off track.

Smalling is experienced, he chooses a reasonable position, as if he had predicted, ready to clear the ball!

In the past, Vidic and Ferdinand's younger brothers have become Manchester United's main central defenders

Syllable!

It slammed into his knee and leaped straight into the middle of the goal.

The audience was stunned.

The hearts of Manchester United fans tugged.

Arsenal fans were overjoyed.

Watching the football cross the goal line.

Electrifying moments.

De Gea became the savior again.

He showed off his unrivalled reflexes and thigh agility.

Bang!

The pink sneakers blocked the ball hard!

"Thrilling!"

"Red Devil Gate God!"

De Gea blocked the refraction with his foot the moment he fell to the ground.

"The savior of Old Trafford."

"It's almost an own goal."

"Not only defend against opponents, but also against teammates!"

"In the final round of the league last season, it was Smalling's own goal that made De Gea miss the Premier League Golden Glove, and it was that goal!"

'And last season's FA Cup semi-final, Smalling also scored an own goal, and De Gea was miserable.

"It's hard to prevent house thieves day and night!"

De Gea was in good temper for the time being, and he got up and told his team-mates not to waste time apologizing and to get in their positions as they prepared for Arsenal's second wave of attacks.

Pitchside.

Mourinho angrily picked up a crate of mineral water and slammed it on the turf.

He was finally able to appreciate Van Gaal's suffering.

The other side.

Wenger cupped his chin and fell into deep thought.

'Cech will be retiring in a year or two, so he can save some money and buy De Gea again. ’

Li Kang raised his finger in the direction of the spot where the football was cleared, signaling to Walcott, who was closest to him, to pick up the football.

He didn't expect to find out the weak side of United's backline with just one probe: Luke Shaw didn't seem to fit into the system of defending in the low post.

According to the normal train of thought, just reorganize

Something is wrong with God's perspective.

Suddenly.

A figure of more than two hundred pounds roared by!

Mcguire!

This thing can still raise his hand to express that he understands Li Kang's gesture while running?

The Arsenal dugout was a bit confused.

Arsene Wenger was a little skeptical that he was giving his players too much freedom.

Walcott was startled and quickly gave up his seat.

"Harry Maguire!"

"Ushered in his debut for Arsenal."

"The desire to attack is strong!"

"He's characterized by being slow"

"Huh?"

"Straight with the ball to initiate a push?"

The Red Devils players were caught off guard.

The two-hundred-pound brain door slammed into Manchester United's second line of defense.

Carrick, Pogba and Herrera were quick to get the pack.

An unexpected scene was born!

Maguire's behemoth. Instantly show explosive power that does not match the burly body!

Acceleration in the change of direction.

Flashing and moving.

Manchester United's defence is like a big enemy: there is really no fake action at all.

It's weird.

Why is this centre-back so slow in defence? And how fast in the attack?

"It's over!"

"Maguire actually passed!"

"Face the final level - Bailly!"

"What to do!"

Bailly is very calm, he is a top centre-back and does not allow himself to be passed by the opponent's centre-back.

Trying to look into Maguire's eyes.

Control your center of gravity

At the moment when the other party sinks his shoulders.

Bailly still didn't move: it must have been a feint.

Followed by.

Maguire squeezed past him.

At Old Trafford, cheers erupted in a landslide and tsunami.

EPSN live room.

Barrage swipe.

-

[What do you mean by a humanoid guard? 】

-

[Awesome! 】

-

[Maguire during the Hull City period, there was a highlight moment for four people in a row! ] 】

-

[He just understood Li Mingdeng's gesture before he started to attack forward, Arsenal is not afraid of injuries this season, and the bench is well stocked! ] 】

David De Gea recognises Arsenal's big-headed centre-back.

This not-so-smart guy had breached the gates he was guarding when he was still in Hull City.

Don't panic.

As long as it is not Li who is facing it, the others are not afraid.

Bang!

Maguire shoots a shot.

The ball spun violently and whizzed towards the top right of the United goal.

De Gea's position was already in mid-air the moment his opponent's shot touched the ball.

White and gold gloves, take the ball off steadily.

"Arsenal's wave of attack!"

"England's most promising centre-back!"

"Wonderful!"

"De Gea has defused the danger again."

"Fight back!"

"The Red Devils strike back!"

The cheers of the Arsenal fans came to an abrupt end.

It's over.

Overlooking the pitch, your own half was empty.

That's the hidden danger left by Maguire's forward attack!

Can Mustafi hold it alone?

Jose Mourinho is known for not just relying on defense.

And the counterattack.

He laid the foundation for the different styles of the three giants of Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Chelsea.

'De Gea's hand didn't go straight to the front.

"Instead, I found Blind on the wing, in a safe position, with no Arsenal players around!"

"Manchester United's counterattack, it's very layered!"

"It has to do with the characteristics of the players, Mourinho is more interested in the stability of counter-attacking long passes."

Blind's passing was ferocious.

In the 14th World Cup, in the battle of the Netherlands massacring Spain, it was he who gave Van Persie a supernatural assist of "leaping to the top".

He was undoubtedly the first point of attack on United's counter-attack.

Syllable!

The soccer ball arcs in mid-air.

The ball is fast.

The arc is small.

A must-have skill in countering aggro.

Accurately found Ibu near the middle circle!

Are you going to let the 35-year-old Swedish Shenfeng go on a blast?

It's not impossible.

But in United's counter-attacking strategy, there is a better solution.

Ibrahimovic.

Just a fulcrum.

Right.

This super striker with his own system can not only revitalize all offensive players in positional battles.

In the counterattack, he was also willing to obey the tactical arrangement.

As if there was nothing he couldn't do.

The burly body, carrying Xhaka.

Ahead of Cazorla's defense.

Jump high!

"Terrifying back ability!"

"Rub it lightly!"

"Ibrahimovic has completed the fulcrum mission in the counterattack!"

"The ball was ferried to the 40-metre area of the Arsenal half."

"Lingard!"

Manchester United counter-attacked and Arsenal hit the half, and the whole process lasted just nine seconds.

The lens is elongated.

The Gunners players quickly returned to defending.

The Red Devils players are sprinting wildly.

Anthony Martial took Mustafi away.

Lingard made a one-off pause to get rid of Monreal.

The joys and sorrows of the fans on both sides quickly changed.

At this time, Arsenal was in the middle of the half.

"Premier League Andres Iniesta!"

"The British Emperor!"

"Single Knife!"

"Youngster Lingard!"

"Manchester United's FA Cup winners!"

"He's probably already thinking about which dance to use to celebrate the goal!"

Cech was annoyed.

His ideas with Mustafi and Maguire can't get together.

Adjust your breath a little and get ready for the test.

Jesse Lingard dribbled to the top of the box and fired a furious shot.

Again, there are no fancy feints.

The soccer ball slammed straight into the middle of the goal!

Syllable!

The beam shook slightly.

After the football rebounded to the ground, he was easily held in his arms by the Arsenal goalkeeper.

At Old Trafford, sighs are endless.

"The quality of the goalkeepers on both sides is too strong."

Lingard hugged his head in a hurry.

Mourinho pounded the ground in anger.

"Throw the ball with a strong hand!"

"Cech has no intention of stopping."

"It's too fast-paced."

"At this time, the formation of the two sides is chaotic."

The Arsenal players, who were halfway back to the defense, immediately turned to attack.

The Manchester United players, who counterattacked halfway, immediately turned back to defend.

Referee Atkinson was a little tired.

Keep running from one penalty area to the middle circle and then from the other. Forty-meter area.

Which side of the forty-meter area?

The forty-metre zone of the Manchester United half.

Petr's powerful hand threw the ball, like a grenade, and smashed it into no man's land!

Li Kang rushed to the landing point, raised his left foot, and calmly unloaded the ball.

God's perspective.

The three lines of defence of the Muslim United have not had time to rebuild.

Scattered positions in the backfield.

In the field of vision, the phantom of Liverpool No. 9 suddenly appeared.

Suddenly his legs swelled with endless power

Peak launch.

Torres.

Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba are the kind of stars who don't like to get involved in the defense.

But they have a strong sense of interception and physical hardware.

The moment Li Kang stopped the ball, the two completed the inside and outside lines.

An interference with the ball.

A sabotage to break the siege.

You can complete your tasks just by looking at them.

Faintly.

Seems to feel the grass under your feet. There was a slight shock a few times.

The tens of thousands of spectators at Old Trafford didn't have time to give a shout or boo that suited the situation.

Arsenal's No. 10 on the pitch was launched.

One step away.

The starting speed that defies the laws of physics allows Pogba and Ibrahim to only see one back in the blink of an eye.

It was as if even the camera couldn't keep up with him for a few seconds.

Billboards on the sidelines faded into obscurity.

Time seemed to stand still for two seconds.

"What's going on."

"Li Kang came to the thirty-meter area."

"How fast?"

"It's Bailly again!"

"Manchester United's new centre-back has been tested again!"

"Will he be able to prove his worth?"

Bailly knows Li Kang well.

He studied the Marseille slaloms, Cruyff turns, and Harvey's magic spins several times.

Be confident that you can break the ball. Even if it's a foul.

The No. 9 phantom in Li Kang's vision suddenly recondensed the moment it dissipated.

Bang!

A long-lost voice came from the close-up sound device.

In the eyes of everyone in the audience.

Li Kang's line of travel did not deviate much.

And the strong big black egg, Bailly, was squeezed a meter away

Manchester United fans in the nearby stands screamed.

They remember this scene: Torres forced himself to eat Vidic!

De Gea is not very fond of attacking.

He knows how Li Kang shoots.

Whether it's heavy artillery.

Or is it the arc of the devil,

Sorties are one of the best options.

How I wish I could see Lee's back.

There is no regret in life than meeting the right person at the wrong time.
