Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

Chapter 118 It’s hard to find another team as tough as you, but I just want to win

"Leon's vision is very broad, look at Di Maria's choice! Cross the ball! Cristiano Ronaldo, the header is back! Li Ang——!!!

Li Ang hits the door! A blast from close range! The ball went in? ! The ball went in——! ! ! Cech didn't stop! Li Ang scored the ball into Chelsea's goal! ! !

Li Ang became the first Chinese player to score in the Champions League final! He is also the first Asian player to achieve this achievement! Li Ang made history! He opened the ceiling for Asian players' achievement records in a single season in the European League! ! ! "

The moment He Wei saw Li Ang score the ball, he was extremely excited and joined the Real Madrid fans at the scene, raising their arms and shouting!

He spoke so passionately that Director Zhang, who was also overjoyed, couldn't even get a word in.

However, Director Zhang didn't mind. After seeing that He Wei's mood had calmed down a little, he took over the conversation with a smile.

"This is a new milestone record. No Asian player has scored a goal in the Champions League final before, and Li Ang did it! Oh, it really goes as the domestic fans say, Xiao Li doesn't score many goals. , but all of them are worth a fortune, they love to fight hard and score key goals!”

Director Zhang's praise made many Chinese fans who had just recovered from their passionate state in front of the TV laugh again.

Well, this is the conclusion that the old man from Tieba came up with when he compiled the distribution data of Li Ang's goals.

The fans who were joining in the fun were all flooding the "Little Lion Bar" with messages saying that Li Ang scored goals and only entered strong teams and fought tough battles.

Unexpectedly, it was later moved to a certain place.

He Wei and Duan Xuan also mentioned this interesting story during their commentary, and it naturally spread among the domestic football circles.

However, this is not a compliment to Li Ang, because Li Ang is already better at showing better performance and state when playing against strong teams.

Perhaps, after overpowering Lazio in Serie A last season, Li Ang has gone on the road of becoming stronger when encountering a strong one~

At this moment, Li Ang, who was being hugged and slapped passionately by his teammates on the court, was exclaiming the word "lucky" repeatedly.

To be honest, the moment he scored the goal, Li Ang felt as if his soul was out of his body. He just felt refreshed and happy!

But after being hugged by Ronaldo, his mind gradually came to his senses, and he just felt lucky.

If the football that Cristiano Ronaldo had just returned was a little off and not near the penalty spot, his explosive shot would most likely have resulted in a direct masturbation.

It's okay to be laughed at by the fans then. Li Ang doesn't care how the outside world laughs at him. He will only regret that he missed such an excellent opportunity to expand the score!

Fortunately, the result was the best. Cristiano Ronaldo deliberately returned the ball to his most comfortable starting position. He also lived up to the trust of his teammates, let alone his hard training for such a long time.

Originally, he thought he would use it in the last round of the game against Bayern, but he didn't expect that it would be used in the final.

"This is not luck. It is your own efforts that have brought you the best rewards. Well done! Little Lion."

Ronaldo finally patted Li Ang hard on the shoulder and encouraged him.

At this moment, Real Madrid's bench also regained its composure a little. The Real Madrid players on the bench were already discussing it with bright faces.

Mourinho suppressed his racing heart and surging emotions and continued to press down with his hands.

He was signaling to his disciples, whether on or off the court, to restrain their passion at this time.

Fortunately, after the Chelsea players restarted the game, the referee on duty blew the whistle to end the first half.

Mourinho had fifteen minutes to keep his players calm.

At the same time, he can also calmly make tactical arrangements for the second half of the game with a two-goal lead at halftime.

Di Matteo was a little helpless, but there was not much frustration in his eyes.

This mentality made Mourinho admire him again.

At the same time, Mourinho sounded the alarm again in his heart.

After all the Real Madrid starting players returned to the locker room, Mourinho stopped talking to Karanka and took the lead in giving warm applause to his disciples.

This is an unabashed pride and praise, and the Real Madrid players appreciate it.

Being able to receive encouragement and praise from Mourinho during the halftime period of the Champions League final already shows how successful they were in the first half.

However, the turning point came quickly as always.

Karanka quickly moved the tactical board to the front of the locker room, and Mourinho motioned to the players to continue sitting on the stools and rest without standing up.

"They didn't give up. If we could open the door to Chelsea's dressing room at this moment, we could hear the underlying anger and unwillingness in their team that was about to break through their bodies.

That is a mature enough team. They have played in a Champions League final and many Champions League semi-finals. They have played against many strong teams.

Therefore, what I have always emphasized before the game is to be alert to yourself and respect your opponents, and this is what it means.

You can feel that even though we did a detailed tactical drill before the game, veterans like Drogba and Lampard will still cause us a lot of trouble during the game. "

When he said this, Mourinho picked up the pen on the table and tapped the area of ​​​​the tactical board where Drogba and Lampard were.

“They are too familiar with how to adjust their mentality, and they are also too familiar with how to withstand pressure and make the right choices in adversity.

Believe me, they will be very united, very united, just like us, because the teams that can successfully stand on this stage at the end of the season understand the meaning of unity and sacrifice.

I am sad to face the disciples I once taught, but I am also very happy, because today I am fighting side by side with you!

Believe me, you are the best players I have ever seen, bar none! (applause)

Come on, in the last half of the game, promise me, let’s forget about the so-called lead we had previously and let those scores go to hell! Let’s make new tactical adjustments step by step, starting from scratch.”

Amid enthusiastic applause and cheers, Mourinho calmly and confidently began to lay out his tactical arrangements for the second half.

Every Real Madrid player is listening carefully.

The tactics are not complicated, but precisely because they are not complicated, it will be more difficult than usual to be the best at their respective positions.

In such a final stage, a small mistake may have far more serious consequences than imagined.

Compared with their strong performance in certain periods of the first half, Chelsea's players were inferior in terms of physical strength, but their mentality was indeed better.

Even when trailing by two goals, Li Ang could see anger and depression in the eyes of Cech and Terry, but he could not see frustration.

At this moment, Li Ang finally understood why Mourinho took the trouble to ask them to be vigilant before the game.

mentality.

Chelsea has been in this year's Champions League all the way and has survived many desperate situations, and its mentality has long been relaxed.

Real Madrid is going a bit smoothly here, not that they can't play in adversity, but that they have more belief in winning in terms of mentality. This is a good thing, but it also has a bad impact.

Li Ang couldn't tell what kind of changes the difference in mentality between the two teams would bring to the second half of the game.

But he knew that he would not have any psychological baggage.

Because since he entered the professional arena, he has not had too many complicated thoughts and desires for fame and fortune.

If you have fame and fortune, that's great. He won't refuse. If not, he actually doesn't care much.

But one thing he cares about is that on the field, he just wants to win!

Seizing every opportunity in life that may only come once, he will use all his strength just to stand on the top of the final victory!

This is what he enjoys most in the professional arena, winning games, winning victories, and winning trophies!

This can be said to be completely different from the career path chosen by Master Beleron.

But Li Ang received praise from Belleron in Deportivo, because he was pursuing the part that he enjoyed most in professional football.

From this point of view, Leon and Beleron are already on the same side. They follow their own paths and pursue their ideal goals. Their thoughts are also pure.

The slight change in Li Ang's temperament soon attracted Alonso's attention.

But more than half of the halftime break had passed, Casillas and Ramos were making final mobilization, and Brother Long did not ask Li Ang in detail what he was thinking.

However, one thing Alonso is as certain as ever.

That is, Li Ang is his most reliable midfield partner in Real Madrid, and he also believes that Li Ang will not let him down!

※※※

The second half of the game quickly started again with the cheers of tens of thousands of fans at the scene.

Chelsea unsurprisingly stepped up the pace of confrontation.

They want to speed up the frequency of offense and defense between the two teams to provide more offensive opportunities for themselves.

Still in the same 4-4-2 formation, Chelsea's play became more simple and direct.

If there is an opportunity, make a long pass to Drogba, use Drogba as the axis, steadily get the ball and then radiate the offensive route around.

At the end of the first half, Chelsea once relied on this move to open up the situation on the offensive end.

At this moment, Di Matteo should have directly established a counterattack tactic based on this style of play.

It's really just a matter of turning to World of Warcraft when you're in trouble. It's good for a big center to play in cup games.

Mourinho looked at Drogba at this moment, and then at Benzema, who had wide eyes and a silly look on his face during the Chelsea half.

I felt a little unhappy, but in the end Mourinho could only comfort himself with words such as "Ben Zemiao is still young and has a bright future."

Benzema didn't know what his head coach was thinking. He was still very conscientious and waiting for the counterattack that could come at any time.

In the second half, Real Madrid changed to the same 4-4-2 lineup as Chelsea. Benzema, as a green leaf center, performed quite well today.

There is definitely a qualitative difference between Drogba and Drogba, but his current tactical status in the team has successfully surpassed Higuain.

After gaining weight and practicing more heading and confrontation, he will become a standard Mourinho-style center.

Ronaldo will be relieved of his defensive responsibilities. As the core figure of the counterattack, Mourinho has given him more tactical privileges.

Li Ang, who was on the side, and Di Maria, who was playing back in the midfield, had to control Chelsea's progress with the ball on both wings.

It can be said that Mourinho's adjustment once again pinched Chelsea's offensive life.

You can pass a long pass from back to front. It's up to you, but don't think about combining it from the side to the center.

To reduce the damage to Chelsea's crosses from the wings to the center, Drogba would either dribble the ball into Real Madrid's penalty area, or count on Kalu to create a weak defensive side for him.

But these two points are obviously not feasible. Warcraft's foot skills are much better now than when he was young, but they are not the sudden type.

With Kalu's skills, it is possible to occasionally pass Arbeloa once or twice, but what about hitting the goal after passing?

Less than ten minutes into the second half, Di Matteo frowned slightly when he saw that most of his offensive tactics were once again broken by Mourinho.

After thinking about it for a moment, he had to call on several Chelsea players on the bench and asked them to warm up quickly.

If Mourinho signals Real Madrid to shrink their formation after 70 minutes of the second half, Di Matteo will really be in trouble.

The warm-up of Torres and Bertrand on the sidelines quickly attracted the attention of commentators from various countries.

He Wei and Zhang Lu also made a quick analysis.

Bertrand can play both positions on the left wing, but it would be unrealistic to replace Ramirez or Ashley Cole with him.

In comparison, the possibility of exchanging Torres for Kalou is much greater.

Torres' shooting level has dropped a lot now, but his advantages in running position and speed are still there. It is better to replace him on the field than Kalu's pass, and he doesn't know what to do after passing people.

Di Matteo did not let the suspense of substitution last too long. In the 60th minute of the second half, Kalu was replaced by Torres after playing for 15 minutes.

At this time, Malouda also started to warm up on the sidelines. It seemed that Di Matteo was determined to attack.

After Torres came on, Chelsea also began to use Drogba and Torres to make offensive articles.

The first is that Drogba can play the ball for Torres, allowing Torres to help draw away some of Real Madrid's defensive forces, and then he can move around to find opportunities to grab points.

After all, Torres had scored in the previous two rounds against Milan. It seems that his condition has recovered recently. Real Madrid's defense dares to let Kalou shoot, but it still has to be vigilant against Torres.

With the two of them as cover, Lampard, whose position is in good condition again, can also look for long-range shooting opportunities.

This is Lampard's signature offensive move.

After Li Ang pulled away, it was up to Essien and Alonso to guard against Lampard's sudden attack and heavy artillery bombardment.

As an old teammate and old friend, Essien will naturally not give Lampard much room to play.

After Lampard's first long-range shot tested Casillas, Essien took the initiative to defend.

To be honest, as long as there is defensive interference at the first time, Lampard's long-range shooting effect will naturally be greatly reduced.

Mourinho was relieved when he saw this, and repeatedly signaled that Essien had done a good job.

Torres will now start to frequently drop back to get the ball, connecting Lampard and Mata on the wing.

With Li Ang marking him, it is difficult for Mata to easily pick up the ball and pass it into the penalty area, but cutting inside to organize the ball and the series attack still have a certain effect.

In the 69th minute of the second half, Chelsea's seemingly successful conduct from the outside came to nothing.

Drogba protected the ball and passed it back. After Lampard took two steps back under Essien's close defense, he suddenly passed the ball horizontally!

A tall figure in blue led the ball and started to move forward. This change made Di Maria on the side unable to even recover his position to intercept!

That's Mikel.

Mikel, who had been silently defending the ball before, almost never participated in the offense.

At this moment, about thirty-three meters away from Real Madrid's goal, he silently and firmly adjusted his pace while running!

"Stop him!"

Pepe reacted immediately and shouted for Alonso to press forward and interfere.

But it will be too late!

Mikel's long-range shot went straight to the far corner of the Real Madrid goal like a heavy cannon!

This is a half-high ball, which is not difficult to save, but Casillas's heart sank at this moment!

Because this ball is so fast and the power is so great!

Halfway through his save, the ball passed by his fingertips!

"boom!!!"

A slightly crisp sound of the center pillar made Casillas' heart turn from sadness to joy.

But the next second, a Chelsea player rushed into the penalty area and took a supplementary shot against the bouncing football, making Casillas fall into the ice again!

"Torres!!! The empty goal! The ball went in -!!! Incredible magical long shot! Incredible Mikel and Torres! The ball went in!!! Chelsea pulled themselves from the edge of the cliff abruptly Come back! There are still more than 20 minutes left, and Chelsea still have a chance to drag the game into overtime!”

The commentator of England's Sky Sports went completely crazy!

Find life in desperate situations!

This goal made all Chelsea fans "alive" again in despair!

Chelsea fans at the Allianz Arena in Munich also roared ferociously in the stands!

They are not dead yet, they are still alive, they are still alive on the stage of the Champions League final! ! !

From 0-2 to 1-2, the morale is completely different, and this is true for the players of both teams.

Real Madrid didn't make a huge mistake defensively, but they did give Chelsea a chance.

A slim chance, but Chelsea took it!

Torres, who came on as a substitute, used his clever movement to help Chelsea regain a glimmer of hope.

He held the ball and called to his teammates to return to the half-court and wait for Real Madrid to kick off.

Li Ang also became unusually "excited" at this time.

There was no accusation or scolding. Li Ang just waved his arms excitedly and roared loudly to indicate that his teammates must cheer up!

"We must be aware! This is not a missed opportunity that will come back next year! Ten years! It has been ten years since our club last won the Champions League!"

"Fight with everything, brothers, fight with everything! Because we may only have this one chance!"

"Don't be discouraged, fight until the last moment! We must, must fight until the last moment!!!"

Li Ang roared almost with all his strength. The other Real Madrid players who rarely saw him like this were startled at first, and then.

The "anger" in their hearts was also ignited!

"Yes! Isn't it easy for us to come this far?! Chelsea can fight, but we can fight better than them!"

"Cheer up, everyone! We will definitely win!!!"

"Today is the day! I've had enough of the failures and embarrassments of the past few seasons! Winning the championship must be today!"

"Remind your teammates around you of their positions, stay calm, and hit them a few more times!"

From the turbulent atmosphere to the stable situation within the team, it took just one or two minutes.

Chelsea's side has already set up the football, shouting and encouraging each other to get into position, but Real Madrid's momentum is not bad at all.

The murderous look in Ronaldo's eyes almost overflowed!

He just felt that he needed to vent and use a goal to crush all the hopes of the Chelsea people!

In the 2008 final, he scored a goal in the game, but the missed penalty in the end became a regret in his heart.

Today, he didn't want to leave any regrets, let alone cry because of the defeat.

"Chris!"

Li Ang shouted loudly when Ronaldo and Benzema were about to kick off.

Cristiano Ronaldo looked back and saw Li Ang, whose eyes were full of determination, nodding vigorously at him.

The two did not communicate much, but the nods to each other completed all the mobilization words silently.

Mourinho also walked to the sidelines at this time. He saw the extremely strong energy of his disciples after the game restarted!

He saw Ronaldo's drive past Mikel after taking the ball.

He saw Benzema's toughness in forcing his way into Terry's defensive area.

He even saw Li Ang's craziness in starting to sprint with all his strength, regardless of physical strength!

"This is my team, this is my Real Madrid!"

Mourinho suddenly felt that he had no tactics to adjust.

He only hopes that his disciples, with this decisive spirit, will fight until the last minute and the last second of this game!

The players of the two teams directly fought with each other on the court.

As the action became louder, the referee's whistle also sounded frequently.

In the 76th minute, Di Maria and Ashley Cole both fell to the ground during a fight for the ball.

After the two got up, they started pushing and pushing the cow, and each received a yellow card.

In the 79th minute, Chelsea stole the ball and quickly counterattacked. Marcelo, who was inward, blocked Chelsea's rapid advancement with a foul tackle and received another yellow card!

The rhythm of the game began to be broken up by frequent confrontations and fouls on both sides.

But at this time, Di Matteo took the initiative to ask his players to be more rational and calm.

Because there is really not much time left. If we continue like this, Real Madrid will win the Champions League with a one-goal lead.

The Chelsea players who recovered first subconsciously avoided the head-on confrontation with Real Madrid.

They must be patient at this time.

And because Real Madrid will be aggressively pressing forward, Mikel also found the opportunity to make another long pass to Drogba, who was only being marked by Ramos!

There was no double team this time, and Drogba no longer hesitated. The moment he stopped the ball with his chest, he chose to turn around with the ball arrogantly!

Ramos alone could not withstand his brute force, but at this critical moment, Alonso, who had been lagging behind before, decisively shoveled forward!

The ball brought over by Drogba was beautifully shoveled back by Alonso.

Arbeloa came in from the wing and passed the ball to Marcelo who started to advance forward one step ahead of Lampard!

The Chelsea players who had just started to rush forward would have to rush back to defend.

Li Ang ran faster than all Chelsea defenders in the middle. Marcelo quickly passed the ball in front of him without him raising his hand to ask for the ball!

Mikel learned his lesson this time and started to retreat early, not giving Li Ang a chance to directly pass him.

But the moment Li Ang retreated, he directly chose a bold through pass!

The through ball of more than 20 meters in Chelsea's half was like a sharp sword tearing apart the two lines of defense of the Blues!

Ivanovic turned around a beat slower and failed to keep up with Ronaldo's forward pace.

Gary Cahill did react, but he couldn't keep up with the speed, so he just took a gamble and made a tackle in advance to intercept the through ball!

He failed. The through ball played by Li Ang was so fast that he almost didn't consider whether Ronaldo could stop it!

So after Ronaldo was ecstatic in his heart, his heart felt cold the moment he touched the ball!

The moment the ball was stopped, it stopped big. Ronaldo and everyone were numb, but Cech didn't react immediately.

When trying to react for the second time, Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly lost his mind and simply threw his whole body out. He fell to the ground and completed the shovel shot at the same time!

Cech and Ronaldo collided together. Cech, who was wearing a helmet, was not physically injured, but the area of ​​injury in his heart was torn open to an infinite extent at this moment!

Because the football was picked by Ronaldo beyond his interception range, he jumped towards the Chelsea goal neither fast nor slow!

Terry rushed into the net at the last moment and used his foot to hook the football out of the ground.

Benzema was a little flustered when he followed up. He looked at the referee. The referee on duty did not hesitate too much under the linesman's reminder. The next moment, his finger pointed at the kick-off point!

"The goal is valid! The goal is valid!!! Ronaldo's shovel shot finally crossed the line! Eighty-fourth minute of the game! The final goal! The connection between Li Ang and Ronaldo almost completely killed Damn this game! Real Madrid’s counterattack is too tough!”

He Wei breathed a sigh of relief and almost didn't come back. His face was red, and his passionate commentary made countless domestic Real Madrid fans start a carnival in advance at this moment!

After Ronaldo saw the referee indicating that the goal was valid, he no longer had the wild and exciting celebrations of the past.

After he kissed the turf where he just lay down, he just sat in the Chelsea penalty area, laughed and opened his arms to Li Ang!

Li Ang, Ronaldo and Benzema who ran over hugged each other tightly!

He took a deep breath, and his heart felt completely at ease!

This Chelsea is the toughest team he has encountered this season!

Perhaps in the history of the Champions League, there is no team as tough as Chelsea.

But he just wants to win today!

No one can stop it!
