The ball was thrown into the air, and the defense collapsed.
Chapter 233: One pass, one pass, the defense collapsed!
Seeing several Wolfsburg players rushing towards him like hungry wolves, Cambiasso was a little surprised.
However, Commander Cambiasso, who played as the main defensive midfielder in Real Madrid and Inter Milan, has seen all kinds of scenes.
He passed the ball to the water brother who responded on the side without panic, and then ran calmly.
Unlike Busquets of Barcelona who played as a single defensive midfielder, Cambiasso also had Drinkwater, who covered a very large area, to help him.
In this way, his physical problems can be greatly avoided and his experience in controlling the field in the defensive midfielder position can be fully utilized.
After Cambiasso passed the ball, the Wolfsburg front three seemed to have entered the sage time, suddenly slowed down and gave up pressing.
After several operations, the Blue Fox coach Pearson on the sidelines also saw the opponent’s defensive strategy!
First, double-back midfielder clamped Ling Feng to make it difficult for him to get the ball and organize.
This strategy was not beyond his expectations at all.
In addition, the Wolfsburg front players adopted the strategy of “surrounding but not grabbing” against Cambiasso.
Dost, Schurrle and De Bruyne cruised around Cambiasso, maintaining a triangle position, vaguely surrounding him.
Whenever Cambiasso wanted to receive the ball, the Wolfsburg front players would suddenly start accelerating and pounce on Cambiasso as if they had pressed a switch!
Those who were close pressed Cambiasso;
Those who were far away stood between him and Ling Feng to intercept his forward pass.
Obviously, Wolfsburg also understands the importance of Cambiasso to Leicester City’s midfield and backcourt passes.
Compared with Cambiasso, Drinkwater is more focused on defense, and his vision and awareness of passing can only be said to be average.
Once Cambiasso, the connection point between the backcourt and the frontcourt, is pinched, with Leicester City’s backcourt passing ability, passing errors may occur!
Thinking of this, Pearson suddenly felt very fortunate.
He was glad that he let Maguire, who has a certain passing ability, start to help the backcourt pass!
“Danny! Run more open space!”
“Harry, you go up a little bit!”
“Pass the ball bolder! Don’t be afraid of mistakes!”
So, in the shouts of the head coach on the sidelines, in addition to Drinkwater’s continuous connection with Cambiasso, Maguire, as a central defender, also moved slightly forward to form a triangle position with the two midfielders.
Once Cambiasso or Drinking Water Brother cannot pass the ball forward and pass it back to Maguire, he will directly pass the ball to Lingard on the left or Mahrez on the right.
In this way, Wolfsburg’s very targeted frontcourt pressing strategy was cracked by Maguire alone!
However, even if the ball can be passed to the frontcourt, Ling Feng, who is sandwiched by two back waists, cannot easily get the ball.
However, this is definitely beneficial to Leicester City.
Because once the two back waists are restrained by Ling Feng in the middle, they cannot make up for the wing.
In this way, Wolfsburg’s local defense number on the wing will be reduced, so that Lingard and Mahrez on both sides will have more room to play!
In the 18th minute of the game, Cambiasso passed the ball back to Maguire again under the siege.
Maguire looked up at the left and right sides, and then directly passed the ball to Mahrez who retreated on the right.
The latter took the ball with his left foot and immediately dribbled forward, actively meeting Wolfsburg’s left back, Ricardo Rodriguez, a Swiss international nicknamed “R Luo”!
R Luo, who is only 22 years old, is the left-wing iron gate of Wolfsburg and the Swiss national team.
Since last season, this Swiss man with a beard and a bun has been the super thigh of Wolfsburg after De Bruyne.
This man is not only reassuring on the defensive end, but also can contribute nine assists and five goals on the offensive end!
His cross and free kick skills are even more unique, and he can often accurately send the ball to his teammates.
Such an outstanding performance has also attracted the attention of major European giants.
In the summer window, Ricardo Rodriguez’s name has been frequently linked to European giants such as Real Madrid, Bayern, and Juventus.
This season, because of his continued outstanding performance in Wolfsburg, many Bundesliga fans have praised this Swiss full-back, who is less than 23 years old, to the sky.
There are even Wolfsburg fans who
Fans believe that he has the level of a world-class full-back, even better than Real Madrid’s Marcelo!
Facing Mahrez’s advance, R. Ronaldo had a solemn expression, but he just turned his body sideways and retreated while fighting.
Even though Mahrez made fake moves in his upper body, he could not make his body center of gravity shift.
In desperation, Mahrez looked up to the middle and tried to find the possibility of cooperating with Ling Feng.
At this moment, R. Ronaldo seized the fleeting opportunity, suddenly rushed up, and kicked the ball under Mahrez’s feet out of the sideline!
In response, Mahrez just raised his hand to Ling Feng who ran to the middle to respond, and then came to the sideline to receive the ball.
However, when Simpson threw the ball to him, he was pinched by R. Ronaldo behind him in the back waist, and then he felt a pain in his waist.
Then, R. Ronaldo directly blocked the ball and passed it directly to De Bruyne in the middle.
Fortunately, when Ding Ding was about to advance with the ball and launch a counterattack, the experienced Cambiasso directly fouled him, strangling this wave of attack in the cradle.
At this time, Mahrez complained to the referee very dissatisfiedly, claiming that the No. 34 played a trick behind him.
However, the referee did not see it at all, so there was no foul action.
The protest was fruitless, and Mahrez could only swallow this dumb loss.
As the weather gradually warmed up, Mahrez’s competitive state declined after losing the bonus of the super legendary equipment [Winter Gloves].
Although Ling Feng was restricted by the regional joint defense, he gained more ball possession and space.
However, with Leicester City’s eye-catching performance, Mahrez, who has contributed seven goals and seven assists in various competitions, has also become the focus of other opponents.
Everyone knows that among the front trident of the Blue Foxes, except Ling Feng, Mahrez has the strongest ball holding ability.
Therefore, he has been somewhat uncomfortable being defended by the defenders recently.
In this game, he faced off against the top full-back R. Ronaldo, who was at his peak.
In the following time, Mahrez repeatedly got one-on-one opportunities on the wing.
However, R. Ronaldo, who was faster and more physically fit than him, did not have such a good rhythm.
No matter what fake moves he made, R. Ronaldo did not move, allowing him to start first, and then use his explosive physical fitness to block the ball, so as to intercept the ball or clear it out of the sideline.
The situation on the field was still very tense in the 30th minute of the game.
As for Leicester City, several players in the frontcourt were separated by Wolfsburg and could not form an effective response and cooperation.
Ling Feng was closely followed by two black midfielder bodyguards, and had almost no chance to get the ball. He could only keep running and pulling space;
Mahrez on the right was defended by R. Ronaldo and had no temper at all;
Vardy, who was at the front, could not get support from his teammates, and could only consume his physical strength in running again and again.
As for Wolfsburg, De Bruyne is the most active one.
Kicker magazine is a German and the oldest football magazine in the world. It rates all Bundesliga players every year at the halfway point of the Bundesliga and after the Bundesliga season ends.
There are four levels of ratings from high to low, namely world class, continental class, international class, and worth paying attention to.
In the ratings of the first half of this season, only three players were ranked world class.
That is Robben and Neuer of the Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich, and De Bruyne of Wolfsburg!
Such a rating is enough to prove how outstanding he is this season!
This Belgian midfield genius is erratic in his running position on the field, and his position is not limited to the middle. His figure frequently appears on both sides to organize the ball.
Neither Drinkwater nor Cambiasso can keep up with his rhythm, allowing him to send all kinds of threatening crosses.
Fortunately, the Foxes’ central defenders Huth and Maguire had good positions in this game, and their frontal air defense capabilities were flawless.
They were able to head the ball out of the penalty area before Wolfsburg striker Dost made a point shot, thus resolving the crisis.
Even though there was no goal yet.
However, judging from the situation on the field, Wolfsburg, who came from afar, actually had a slight advantage!
Speaking of which, it was definitely not luck that Wolfsburg could achieve the current results in the past two seasons.
On the one hand, with the support of the wealthy Volkswagen Group, it has recruited many powerful players in the transfer market in the past two years.
In the lineup, there are famous players in each position in the front, middle and back three lines, and the overall strength of the players can be ranked in the top three in the Bundesliga.
You can even come up with a starting lineup that is almost entirely composed of international players.
!
On the other hand, the arrival of De Bruyne completely gave the team a midfield commander who can truly lead the team!
It is very important for a team to have a core player.
The team can formulate corresponding tactics around the core players, and then other players can also be led by the core players to work together!
What’s more, this core is the world’s number one offensive midfielder in the future!
Speaking of which, there is a certain overlap in the rise of Ling Feng and De Bruyne.
Both of them have raised the Blue Fox and Wolfsburg to their current heights with their personal abilities and talents.
It is worth mentioning that both of them became members of the team’s first team in January 2014, and then gained the trust of the head coach and teammates in a short period of time and became the core on the field.
Before the game, many Bundesliga fans felt that Ling Feng, the new European golden boy, was just a darling who was praised by the media.
If it really comes to personal strength, De Bruyne will definitely beat Ling Feng!
Judging from the performance of the two players so far, De Bruyne is indeed better.
Thirty minutes later, Ling Feng’s number of times in the frontcourt was not even as many as the team’s central defender Maguire.
Seeing the team fall into a passive position on the field, the Blue Fox fans in the stands, led by the Fox Club William and Bob and other diehard fans, began to sing “Ling Feng’s Song”
The song was full of fans’ support for the team.
They hope that the core of the team can stand up and turn the situation around!
At the same time, the camera on the scene was also frequently given to Ling Feng.
“A loud song rang out at the King Power Stadium. This is the personal song of Leicester City’s No. 7 player Ling Feng. Obviously, when the team is in a passive situation, the fans hope that this young man who has led them to defeat opponents again and again will play the role of a hero again!”
“But this Blue Fox genius was closely guarded by the opponent in this game. The two midfielders of Wolfsburg followed him closely. Once he got the ball, he would be violated!”
The fans’ singing echoed in his ears.
Seeing the team being suppressed by Wolfsburg at home, Ling Feng also realized that this would not work!
So he decided to make a change!
He waved to Lingard on the left, and then said to him loudly:
“Jesse, let’s change positions!”
Hearing this, Lingard did not have any objections and immediately nodded to show that he understood.
He basically did nothing on the left.
The one defending him was the Portuguese international Vieirinha.
Vieirinha, who was born as a winger, was short, but had good speed and balance.
Lin Huang, who was not good at one-on-one on the wing, could not get past him at all.
Every time he got the ball, Ling Feng could only play some passes with Vardy who came to support him.
However, compared with R. Ronaldo on the other side, Vieirinha on this side was definitely a relatively weak point in Wolfsburg’s defense.
Ling Feng believed that he was fully confident that he could tear open the gap in Wolfsburg’s defense from this side, thereby threatening the opponent’s goal!
Moreover, after Lingard came to the middle, he could also give full play to his ability to attack the gap and connect.
This is why Ling Feng chose to switch positions with Lingard!
Soon, both the fans in the stands and the head coaches of both sides on the sidelines saw the switch between Ling Feng and Lingard.
And the effect of this switch was immediate!
After Ling Feng came to the left, Maguire’s pass in the backcourt could find him.
In the 37th minute of the game, Ling Feng retreated to the left to receive the ball, and then dribbled along the side.
Gustavo came over immediately and helped Vieirinha with him.
However, facing the two people’s help, Ling Feng was not polite at all. He pushed his outside foot inward, and the whole person suddenly turned into a blue afterimage, passing between Gustavo and Vieirinha!
The two did not even have time to reach out to pull him, and they could only see his whistling back.
This wave of simple and rough breakthroughs directly ignited the enthusiasm of the home team fans.
“Yes!”
“That’s it!”
“Ling! Kill them!”
Cutting inside to the penalty area, facing the oncoming central defender Klose, Ling Feng first pretended to shoot, tricked the opponent into blocking, and then shook his ankle and sent a very heavy through ball.
With just one pass, Wolfsburg’s defense collapsed in an instant!
At the moment Ling Feng passed the ball, Vardy, who was standing parallel to another Wolfsburg central defender Naldo, understood what he meant.
He inserted himself behind Klose without hesitation and received the ball in the penalty area.
The two Wolfsburg players
The central defenders were all over 1.9 meters tall and moved too slowly.
So Vardy in the penalty area could observe the goalkeeper’s position and then calmly make the choice to shoot into the far corner!
With a bang, the ball shot out!
It drew a beautiful arc in the air, flew past the Swiss goalkeeper Benaglio’s hand, and turned into the goal behind him!
