The midfield king of football life

Chapter 155 Changes and Fierce Battle "Blue Moon" (1)

After the game against Borussia, coach Klopp gave the players a day off to rest freely and recover their physical fitness. On October 10, they will gather for one day of training. On October 2, they will go to Manchester City for adaptive training. On October 10, they will officially face Blue Moon Manchester City.

The day after the match against Borussia is China's National Day, Li Fenghe and Chen Shihan made an appointment to rest for a day.They went to the Weischlingen Forest Park in Dortmund together. This park is the largest forest park in Dortmund and is located in the north of Dortmund.The green plants all over the mountains made them both feel relaxed and happy. The air smelled like German soil, which was very pleasant. There was a beautiful lake in the center of the park, and the amber water was crystal clear.

Li Feng and Chen Shihan were dressed in casual sportswear, strolling along this beautiful tree-lined path, very comfortable.In the evening, they had an authentic German meal at a local restaurant, and they celebrated the National Day on this day.

After relaxing for a day, Li Feng packed up his mood and prepared to train internally.This time against Manchester City in the Premier League, Li Feng was not sure that he would be able to play, but he still went all out to complete the training.

After Dortmund's players had completed a series of basic training, coach Klopp asked the players to assemble.

"This time we went to Manchester City for the second round of the Champions League group stage. The away game has always been very difficult. Manchester City won the Premier League title last season under the leadership of coach Mancini. Obviously, Manchester City is a very difficult team. Mancini was born in Italy and he inherited the Italian chain defense, so we can't use the previous lineup."

Dortmund's players listened quietly to the coach's analysis.

"In the game against Manchester City, I will use offense instead of defense. Manchester City's defensive counterattack is very sharp. They have two excellent attackers in Dzeko and Aguero. In order to score points in the away game, we must attack with all our strength."

"So, against Manchester City, we will use a lineup of 433. Reus, Lewandowski and Gotze form the front trident on the front line, Gundogan, Li Feng and Sven Bender form the midfielder, and the defense line is still on both sides of the Piszczek and Schmelzer branch, with Hummels and Subotic in the middle, and the goalkeeper is still Weidenfeller."

Hearing that he appeared in the squad for the Champions League match again, Li Feng was very surprised.And he is also an organizational midfielder in the 433 formation that he is familiar with.This made Li Feng feel a lot of pressure in his heart.

"If we want to ensure that we qualify from the Champions League group stage, we must get at least 1 point in this game. Manchester City lost to Real Madrid in the last game. They have no points in the group now. If this game is tied, they will only accumulate 1 point. This way we can take the initiative to qualify. Of course, I will be very happy if I can get 3 points."

"In this game, Manchester City will definitely go shopping, so you must not take chances." Coach Klopp said.

"Li Feng, now you are the main person in charge of the midfield. The three of us can count on you to score as many goals as possible in the Champions League. Whether I can win the Champions League Golden Boot depends on your passing." Lewandowski said softly to Li Feng.

"Um, are you begging me?" Li Feng said jokingly.

"If you don't ask for anything, it's more of an outsider. You are a midfielder and I am a striker. We are teammates, comrades on the same boat." Lewandowski said.

"Oh, so, then you are responsible for running to attract people. I think Gotze and Royce also want to score goals. Their abilities should be fine." Li Feng said.

Hearing what Li Feng said, Lewand lost his temper immediately.Said: "I was wrong before. Your lord has a lot. That big meal is still valid now. Whether you pass the ball to me or not, I owe you a meal last time."

Seeing Lai Wan's extremely reluctant expression, Li Feng felt very happy.But this matter is just a joke. In such a level of competition, it is impossible for him to deliberately not pass the ball to Lewandowski. If the coach knows, then the possibility of him starting the game may be gone.

"Among Manchester City's players, Dzeko's high-altitude ball ability on the forward line is very strong, while Aguero's speed and ability to capture opportunities are very strong. These two people are very complementary. Our defensive players must pay attention to these two people. Sbender, your main task is to help defend Aguero and Dzeko. If these two people are defended to death, Manchester City's offensive efficiency will drop by at least 70%." Coach Klopp said.

"In addition, our 433 formation will obviously weaken our defense in the middle, especially Li Feng's side. So our two full-backs, Schmelzer and Piszczek, you should pay attention to assisting Svenbender in defense."

Both Schmelzer and Piszczek nodded in understanding.

After Klopp finished talking about the tactical deployment against Manchester City, Li Feng was left alone by the coach.

"Li Feng, I have great expectations for you to start this time. Manchester City is a team with strong offense and defense. If we want to score points in the away game, we must attack creatively. But our offensive players are only Lewandowski, Royce, Gotze and Bwaszczykowski. I need you to play to your strengths with this formation. But at the same time, your weaknesses and obvious, poor confrontation ability. This is the only thing I worry about." Coach Klopp said.

"Well, I know, I will pay attention on the court." Li Feng replied.In fact, he has no idea, because the Premier League pays more attention to physical confrontation than the Bundesliga, and Li Feng's weakness is indeed physical.

"If your body is at a disadvantage in the game, you should pay attention to controlling the rhythm. Your advantage is that you have a very good long pass. The ancient British style of play is a long pass. As long as it is effective, we can take advantage of it in the game." Klopp said.

"Yeah, I understand coach," Li Feng replied.

After training, Li Feng told Chen Shihan, Bilal and his mother that he was going to start in the second round of the Champions League group match against Manchester City.This made Pilar very excited.

"It's great, Feng, you have already started playing! It seems that you will become a star in the future." Bilal said on the phone.

"It's still early. This time, the coach gave me the opportunity, and it was also because of tactics. Otherwise, how could I start such an important game. My body and physical fitness have always been weak points, and the coach specifically told me this game." Li Feng said.

"Isn't there an idiom in China called "strengthening strengths and avoiding weaknesses? Your strengths lie in your skills at your feet and precise passing. Just use your strengths to play." Bilal said.

After listening to Pilar's words, Li Feng thought for a while.In fact, he has always been very concerned about his physical fitness, and people around him are also emphasizing that he needs to strengthen his physical fitness, so that he has forgotten his own advantages.

In fact, many Japanese and South Korean players are not good at their bodies in the five major European leagues, but they have gained a foothold in the five major leagues with their delicate foot skills.

After figuring it out, Li Feng invited the Pilar brothers and sisters to Manchester City to watch the game.Li Feng managed to get a few tickets for the Bilal brothers, sisters and mother.
