Ranieri, what school does he belong to? The Sacchi school!

His defensive counter-attack has many differences from the ‘traditional bus’.

No pressing.

No mad dashes.

No shrinking in front of the penalty area waiting for a counterattack.

Instead, they give up possession, stabilize the midfield defense, and then use local numerical advantages to strangle the opponent's wing attacks.

Why did such a simple tactic stun the entire Premier League last season?

Because few Premier League teams in the past liked to "play the flanks."

Because Leicester City once had a Kanté with a terrifying coverage range and invincible interceptions...

Under the influence of the 'Sacchi chain' system.

The Blue Foxes' group of grassroots players seemed to have been given a group buff.

They are the real Premier League champions.

Speaking of Sacchi, this famous coach is an unavoidable milestone in the tactical history of world football...

...

Unfortunately, Ranieri himself is not Sacchi.

He can't handle other formations and can only play the eternal 4-4-2.

Fixed and rigid tactics are simply a gift for midfielders like Li Kang.

King Power Stadium.

Twenty thousand Blue Foxes fans watched Arsenal's rapid advance without any fear, still singing loudly.

This is the rhythm they are most familiar with.

"The Premier League is getting less and less rough, and the football style of the entire league is developing towards diversification."

"Many clubs pay attention to meticulous tactical deployment."

"Look at Leicester City, their defensive positioning is very reasonable, their overall movement is very coordinated, and they can form a local numerical advantage at any time."

"It's not so easy for Arsenal to create a threatening attack... Oh!"

As Duan Xuan's voice fell.

Li Kang in the lens sent a through ball.

The football passed through the gap between Drinkwater and Simpson.

The line is precise.

The strength is perfect.

A short, stocky figure suddenly broke into the flank area.

Thigh Sanchez.

Ball arrives, and so does the man.

Leicester City's defense was not yet chaotic at this time.

It tilted towards the direction of the football in an orderly manner.

In God's perspective, it's like one side of the chain began to tilt.

With a snap.

The football left the Chilean tough guy's left foot and leaped towards the arc of the penalty area!

"Sanchez's passing skills are also very deep!"

"Looking for Giroud!"

"It seems impossible to shoot directly!"

"Look at this ball, Mendy appeared in time!"

....

Several 'Mendys' were born at the end of the twentieth century.

Manchester City Mendy.

Real Madrid Mendy.

Monaco Mendy.

Nice Mendy.

And so on...

They have one thing in common: they are all black.

Leicester City's new signing Mendy, Ranieri bought him from Ligue 1 to make him the second "Kanté"!

Last season, Kanté was the linchpin of the 'Sacchi chain'.

Even if you are a superstar from any of the Premier League's Big Six, you can easily lose possession of the ball when you meet him.

The perfect combination of tactics and individual characteristics.

The Blue Foxes coaching staff believes that Mendy can do it too!

...

Unfortunately.

Mendy is only one meter sixty tall.

Giroud is one meter ninety-three tall.

Faced with this pass... Arsenal's center forward can gain an aerial advantage without jumping.

"There is no chance to stop the ball."

"Leicester City's other players are closing in."

"How to handle this ball..."

"Beautiful!"

Giroud pushed off on the spot, jumped up and flicked his head, and headed the ball to Walcott, who had emerged from the other flank!

Leicester City's defense suddenly loosened.

Losing Kanté.

They are like losing a moat.

...

Arsenal's Little Tiger has no space to sprint.

He stopped the ball with his chest.

Li Kang magically appeared beside him, gently passed the ball, and broke into the penalty area!

"Smooth as silk!"

"Tear open Leicester City's flank!"

"Playing too relaxed!"

"Simple and efficient passing and cooperation!"

"Li Kang can take a shot from this position himself!"

Can't do it.

The individual of the Premier League myth is not that bad.

Morgan blocked Arsenal's number 10's shooting angle at the first time.

The old black egg is very calm.

He didn't easily make a move in the penalty area.

Instead, he stared at Li Kang's center of gravity change...

He knows that his opponent is a super猛人 who is good at love's magic circle, Cruyff turns, Marseille spins, Figo steps, and Bale's outer lane overtaking!

Stay calm and hold him back.

Teammates will soon come to support!

Snap!

The Leicester City center back suddenly felt a chill under his crotch. Before he could turn around, the football had rolled behind him!

"Such an obvious pass... how can you not stop it."

"No move is better than a move!"

"Perfect offensive rhythm, without delaying the battle opportunity because of wanting to get rid of and dribble past."

"Wow, Morata's running position is simply amazing!"

....

Twelve-yard area.

Morata led Huth by half a body and rushed towards the football with murderous intent.

I don't know why.

I feel that as long as I play with Li Kang at the same time, my state in the game will be particularly good.

Come on!

My first Premier League goal.

Let the entire King Power Stadium exclaim!

Bang!

The Spanish striker's right foot slammed hard on the football!

Both coaching staffs were dumbfounded: when did this guy have such terrifying leg strength? The past data didn't show it.

The pressure was on Leicester City's goalkeeper.

Schmeichel Jr.'s pupils shrank, facing such a close-range attack... such a terrifying ball speed... he made a save with lightning speed!

Bang!

The glove didn't touch the ball.

The entire goalpost shook slightly.

"Crossbar!"

"It's harder not to score this goal than to score!"

"All the previous connections were perfect. But he didn't grasp the final kick."

"Hey! The crisis has not been resolved! Morata, don't just hold your head!"

On the sidelines.

Bould slammed the turf angrily.

Wenger subconsciously covered his chest... he suddenly could understand Allegri and Bosque's anxiety.

On the other side.

Ranieri frowned.

He knew the loopholes that existed in the team.

But where can I find a second Kanté.

...

"Can Arsenal get a second offensive opportunity!"

"Leicester City has been beaten during this time."

"The attacks launched by Li Kang make it difficult for them to figure out the routine."

"It's not the traditional central penetration or attacking around either side, or even crossing passes."

"It's playing the flanks!"

"The Gunners are grabbing the Blue Foxes' flanks and attacking fiercely."

....

The football bounced to the arc of the penalty area.

A burly and powerful figure dominated the sky of the two dwarfs Mendy and Okazaki Shinji!

Mustafi!

No one noticed when this Arsenal new signing center back came up!

Aerial contention without any suspense!

The German headed the ball into the penalty area!

"Not a shot!"

"It's a pass!"

"He made it for Li Kang!"

"Volley!"

"Beautiful!"

...

Morgan and Fuchs tried their best, but they couldn't squeeze Li Kang out of the landing point of the football.

The two couldn't help but be shocked: this kid is not only physically strong, but also has an extraordinary ability to control his center of gravity.

There is no time.

Schmeichel Jr. had just gotten up and hadn't adjusted to the best defensive position.

Other teammates were also being stretched by Giroud and Sanchez.

What about Drinkwater?

This guy is still thinking about Leicester City being able to launch a counterattack!

...

Li Kang vaguely remembered the game against Roma that year.

At that time, he was also facing a derivative tactic of the "Sacchi chain"... It was too difficult to break through Roma's goal at the beginning.

Now that he has come to Arsenal, facing a more solid defensive formation of the Premier League myth... it is so easy.

At the moment of regaining his thoughts.

His left foot also touched the football!

Snap!

It's not a very standard shooting action.

In his vision, Raul's phantom flashed by.

The strength of Morgan and Fuchs's confrontation should not be underestimated, and it still interfered with him.

...

Schmeichel Jr. is under a little pressure.

It is difficult to judge the specific trajectory of this irregular shot.

Fortunately, the direction is easy to judge. He quickly went down and pounced towards the near corner.

But the football slammed heavily on the turf!

Then bounced high.

Crossed over the head of the Leicester City goalkeeper and fell into the net...

0:1!!!

"It's Li Kang again!"

"Scoring goals in two consecutive games after joining the Premier League!"

"Phenomenal player!"

"Unpredictable ground ball shot!"

"A fatal blow!"

"Mustafi's assist, Li Kang's skillful shot breaks the goal! Arsenal has taken the lead!"

....

Cech, Koscielny and Mertesacker... looked at each other.

They were once very worried that Mustafi's rash forward insertion would allow Leicester City to launch a quick counterattack.

Unexpectedly, this guy's offensive timing is not bad.

Some center backs who are famous in La Liga.

The defense is not very good, but the offensive attributes are full.
