What is an attacking defensive midfielder?

Chapter 50 Leipzig's High-Pressure Network

"Kaiserslautern is really strong; they're completely dominating our Leipzig!"

At the start of the match, the situation was not very optimistic, at least for Leipzig.

Kaiserslautern, as one of the top four teams in the 2. Bundesliga, displayed a very aggressive attacking style in today's match.

Leipzig is currently on the receiving end of the beating!

"Matthmore passes the ball to Hoffmann!"

"Hoffmann!"

"Blow on the door!"

"Holy crap!"

"You scared the hell out of me, Bertie's in top form today, guys!"

Leipzig's goalkeeper was very reliable; Belot clenched his fists and easily punched the ball away.

The landing points were Eunice and Kimmich.

Younis has a positional advantage, but it doesn't matter.

Because there's a Hao Ren next to Kimmich!

boom!

"Wow!!"

Hao Ren made a flying tackle to kick the ball away from Younis's feet, and the ball that was knocked away was then collected by Sebastian.

! !

Seeing this, Sebastian launched a long pass towards Poulsen on the right flank.

"Awesome!"

"Leipzig's counter-attack coordination is unbeatable!"

Rangnick was seen shouting instructions from the sidelines, while Poulsen, after receiving the ball, unleashed his maximum speed.

Rangnick's Third Rule of Football: The best time to score is within 8-10 seconds of regaining possession!

Poulsen charged toward the baseline, and after being intercepted, he initially planned to stop and deal with the situation slowly, but then he remembered his coach's instructions.

They only have a maximum of 10 seconds!

There was no other way; Poulsen could only pass the ball across to the middle.

It was this cross that created a perfect counter-attack opportunity for Leipzig.

Frahn and Morris combined well, culminating in Frahn's shot.

"Goal!"

"Awesome!"

"Holy crap, Leipzig's counterattack was really something else."

"Rangnick still has something."

After all that, it turned out Kaiserslautern's advantage was a lie, and Wang Chao immediately started to criticize the away team.

"Third place in the 2. Bundesliga is useless; they can't beat second place!"

"..."

"Sauber!"

The first half ended with a 1-0 lead, and Hao Ren and several of his teammates clapped and celebrated in turn.

In the first half, Hao Ren not only took the lead, but also received an unexpected bonus.

His [Caicedo Tackling Template] has reached expert level!

and so……

Rounding up or down, Mr. Goodman can now be considered a tackling expert?

"I've got it!"

Flann rubbed his wrist and he and Poulsen boasted to each other, "Ralph is right, the counterattack must be as fast as possible. It's pointless if it's too slow."

"..."

The game quickly moved into the second half.

"RB!"

"RB!"

"RB!"

The home team fans chanted their team name in unison.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, today's match should be Leipzig's highest home attendance of the season.

The match between the second-placed team in the 2. Bundesliga and the third-placed team is definitely worth watching!

Because the opponent is the third-placed team in the 2. Bundesliga, this match is full of uncertainties.

Kaiserslautern's wing runs put a lot of pressure on Leipzig, especially number 16 Mattmoll, whose dribbling skills are no joke.

Snapped!

A 45-degree cross from Mattmore was aimed at Hofmann in the penalty area.

Hoffmann heads the ball into the net!

Goal!

"Grass!"

"Sebastian, are you eating shit?!"

"That's in!"

"You think you can be pushed aside like that?"

[Holy crap, are we going to have to go for G?]

[Brother Chao, Brother Chao, sob sob sob, am I even going to survive today?]

[Match fixed! Match fixed! Leipzig's center-back is a complete idiot, damn it!]

Despite conceding a goal, Leipzig wasn't actually too worried.

"Their only strong point is their forward line!"

Rangnick called out to the players and gave them instructions for the next move.

"Joshua (Kimmich) push forward, you and Poulsen work together to put pressure on them defensively, and try to prevent them from kicking the ball out!"

Rangnick is about to restart his high-pressing strategy!

"And what about me?"

Hao Ren pointed to himself: "Okay, you can let Dem go up too, I can handle the defensive midfield position alone."

"..."

Rangnick stared into Hao Ren's eyes: "Are you giving me orders?"

"...No, I was just saying. I feel like I can defend against them. Like, 1 against 3."

"You go to the front too!"

"Langnick roared."

"o...ok".

Hao Ren was at his wit's end.

Ralph is still the same Ralph; he only knows how to push himself to attack.

Soon, under the organization of Hao Ren and Kimmich, Leipzig began its network of high-level oppression.

Both the attack and defense were taking place in the opponent's half; Leipzig's actions were truly frightening.

"Wait, is Hao Ren also up here?"

"Rangnick is taking a big risk by doing this. If there is even the slightest mistake in the attacking third, the away team could seize the opportunity."

The camera panned to Rangnick in front of the bench, where Wang Chao carefully analyzed the German coach's facial expression.

hiss……

Does this guy seem unwilling to accept a draw with his opponent?

"Damn, I feel like Rangnick and Hao are a bit similar in personality. We both like to show off and don't listen to other people's advice."

"That's dangerous."

"If Leipzig loses today, will my livestream viewers be half gone tomorrow?"

Many fans in the live stream bet on Leipzig to win, just like Wang Chao did.

If Leipzig loses under these circumstances, the guys in today's live stream will probably all jump off the roof.

This is not a good thing!

Hang in there, brothers! Don't die! Wait for Mr. Goodman to create a miracle!

[Don't jump the gun if you bet on Leipzig to win!]

"Damn it, I can't get in touch with my brother. It's all Sebastian's fault!"

[666666, please give me a like, referee, I'll be your fan for life]

Rubensen passed the ball back to Orban.

Before Orban could get the ball, Vlaan and Kimmich rushed up.

"Oh!!!"

The away fans were startled, but fortunately Orban reacted quickly and passed the ball to Schulze next to him.

As a result, Kimmich pushed off the ground and spun around, charging directly towards Schulzer.

This is a TV series!

Schulzer panicked and could only turn to Mattmore, who was closest to him.

But by then Hao Ren had already run towards Mattmore.

Accelerating forward, Hao Ren used his body to directly block Mattmore, forcefully gaining the lead.

"Nice!"

Rangnick shouted it out.

Hao Ren was secretly delighted. He knew this was an opportunity for him to make his move.

Having gained a positional advantage, Hao Ren no longer held back and took possession of the ball first.

Mattmore tried to steal the ball, unaware that his opponent was a master at it.

"Fuck you!"

Hao Ren pushed aside the weaker Mattmore, grabbed the ball, and immediately rushed towards the goal.
