Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

Just as European countries are in full swing for the final sprint of the World Cup preliminaries.

Li Ang also completed daily training at the Cobham training base with a group of young players who were looking at him with stars in their eyes.

With the past two seasons, Mourinho has promoted the Castilla Gang in Real Madrid and successfully trained a group of Spanish young talents.

Currently, under the publicity of the external British media, a large number of young players in the Chelsea team have also received more attention.

For example, young talents like Van Ginkel, Ake, Karas and Bertrand.

But what is completely different from outside reports is that Mourinho does not feel too much joy at the moment, but instead has a heavy sense of responsibility.

Yes, when he was at Real Madrid, he brought out a lot of young talents, including Real Madrid's own youth training players, as well as talented young players he bought.

Judging from the training results, his work is excellent and he can be completely proud of it.

But it is precisely because of those two years of patient training and psychological counseling of young players.

So for Mourinho, he must be very cautious when dealing with Chelsea's young players.

There are many unknown crossroads on the road of talent. Not all young players can be like Li Ang, so that he can let go on loan with complete confidence.

If these teenagers finally perform, Mourinho will be happy for the success of these young players even if they fail to stay at Chelsea.

Taking a step back, Chelsea can at least get a lot of transfer fee income in the end, so why not?

But what I fear most is the injury and lack of training in games that ultimately hurt Zhongyong.

So it’s not just Mourinho himself, but also Chelsea’s coaching staff and the director in charge of youth training.

Now they are making as detailed and comprehensive training plans as possible for the future prospects of these young guys.

"Ake and Karas should be loaned out during the winter window. We already have enough players at the two full-back positions, and they will not have too many playing opportunities this season.

Young guards still need more games and mistakes to learn lessons and grow.

Don't be reluctant to let them go. If you only rent them out for one season, they will feel awkward getting along with their new teammates, and they will not be able to gain the trust of the new team coach..."

After making arrangements for the two young defenders Ake and Karas, Mourinho focused on the detailed physical examination report of the young man Van Ginkel.

"Needless to say Marco, we all know his outstanding talent, but the most difficult thing now is his physical condition that is too prone to injury.

First gain appropriate weight, and then slowly adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League. These two points are very important and are also key suggestions given by the team's medical team.

I will not arrange Marco to play in games against lower-level league opponents for the time being. I will try to give him some opportunities to play in the second half of the Premier League and domestic cup schedules. "

"What about Ryan? He is already quite old, do we still need to arrange for him to continue renting out?"

Faced with assistant Holland's question, Mourinho smiled and shook his head.

"No, Ryan will not be rented out. This season we need to fight on the fourth line, and Ashley's state fluctuates greatly, so in the following games, Ryan will have many opportunities to play. He will be our left winger. An important part of offense and defense.”

After hearing what Mourinho said, everyone in the conference room immediately understood that Bertrand would probably be corrected by Mourinho this season.

If he is good enough, Chelsea's starting left back should gradually change from Ashley Cole to him.

After completing arrangements for more youth training players in the team, Mourinho asked about the status of several injured players in the first team.

Mourinho was relieved after learning that both Mikel and Azpilicueta were recovering well.

Now there are four people in the team: Ramirez, Lampard, Essien and Matic who can play as defensive midfielders, so Mourinho can still accept Mikel's temporary absence.

But with only Ivanovic on the right back, Azpilicueta's recovery has attracted Mourinha's attention.

Facts have proved that Mourinho's concerns and worries are not groundless.

Just two days after Chelsea's coaches finished this meeting.

Ivanovic was forced to retire at halftime due to a minor sprain of his ankle during the World Cup preliminaries and returned to London early for further examination and physical therapy recovery.

The presence of Essien and the timely return of Azpilicueta are particularly important at this moment.

But a few days later, when Chelsea players left the national team to report to the training base, the sad look on Mourinho's face became more intense.

For Chelsea, perhaps the only good news at the moment is that except for Ivanovic, the rest of the first-team players who participated in the World Cup preliminaries have no more injuries.

However, a group of players who have consumed a lot of physical energy and whose current condition seems to be very unsatisfactory have indeed added a lot of problems to Mourinho.

First of all, Ashley Cole, Lampard, Gary Cahill and Ibrahimovic have all played two World Cup qualifying matches in the past ten days of international matches without much rest.

Therefore, in the next round of competition with Everton, these four players are basically unable to start.

At the left back and defensive midfielder positions, Ashley Cole has Bertrand to step up, and Lampard also has Essien to step up.

David Luiz Gatri's centre-back combination deserves Mourinho's trust.

Even at the center position, if Ibrahimovic has a rest, without Torres, Mourinho can only use Lukaku.

Seeing that there are only a few days left before the Premier League restarts, Mourinho quickly made starting arrangements based on the players' respective conditions.

On the afternoon of September 14th, the Chelsea team came to Goodison Park for an away challenge against Everton, who are currently undefeated in the Premier League in the new season.

Everton has drawn in the first three rounds of the Premier League.

It seems that Everton, who have lost Moyes and midfielder Fellaini, are still stuck in a tactical quagmire.

However, Everton's senior management and fans still have full confidence in coach Martinez, who was able to lead Wigan Athletic to defeat Manchester City and win the FA Cup last season.

Although they didn't win a game in the first three rounds, they didn't lose at all. In this round against Chelsea, Everton fans had relatively low expectations.

As long as they don't lose to Chelsea and can break Chelsea's winning streak in the new season, Everton fans will naturally be willing to give Martinez more patience and support.

Of course, what they don't know now is that Chelsea, who seems to be in a menacing situation, is actually not sure of winning.

The FIFA virus this time has severely affected the veterans in the Chelsea team, and Mourinho had to use a rotation lineup.

But what he didn't expect was that even when facing Chelsea's rotation, Martinez still carefully arranged a starting lineup of four, two, and three one.

Not to mention the main players of the defense, in the double midfielder position, Martinez also sent out Barrica and McCarthy, an old and young combination with outstanding defense, without reservation.

If in the previous rounds of the league, Chelsea faced teams whose midfielders could not withstand the impact, then Everton's midfielder was completely different.

The old Barrie plus the young McCarthy and Barkley have excellent defensive experience and confrontation ability, and the talents of the two young midfielders are still outstanding.

This game is really difficult for Chelsea, who is almost in a broken position.

After the game started, Everton did rely on the heavy force accumulated in the middle of the midfield to withstand Chelsea's early start.

Li Ang's state was not much different from usual.

After grabbing and controlling the rhythm of the midfield at the beginning, Li Ang also quickly directed his teammates to intersperse their movements, letting him allocate the proportion of the offensive direction.

However, Hazard's breakthrough performance today was really a bit weak.

Therefore, Li Ang had to try more to hand over the offensive ball to De Bruyne, or Bertrand who frequently inserted on the left wing.

Chelsea, who have taken control of the offensive, have been unable to open a gap on the offensive end. Today, Ibrahimovic's retreat in the middle is not involved.

So for Everton, as long as they perform normally, they will definitely be able to find good opportunities on the counterattack.

After all, Chelsea as a whole still presses forward to find offensive opportunities. In the midfield and backfield, Chelsea will have many gaps on the wings and rib area.

Barry definitely has the vision and ability to launch a long pass counterattack in the backcourt.

After all, he is a powerful midfielder who can also win the main position in Manchester City and win the Premier League championship.

McCarthy's immaturity in this area is not a problem at all. He only needs to help Barry share enough defensive pressure.

Barry, who had enough energy to launch accurate long passes on the counterattack, soon made Chelsea feel his threat.

In the 13th minute of the first half, after personally intercepting Hazard's dribbling breakthrough, Barry only made some adjustments to his steps and then sent a long diagonal pass across the entire midfield!

Everton's left midfielder Naismith is driving towards Chelsea's right half rib area at high speed!

And Ramirez, who had been following the team as a whole forward to press near the midline, was unable to interfere with Naismith's advance with the ball at this moment.

Fortunately, David Luiz did not retreat this time. Instead, he boldly attacked and tackled directly!

The Brazilian central defender's aggressive attacking defense can sometimes become his fatal flaw.

But at this moment, he has undoubtedly become the hero of Chelsea's defense!

Terry and Essien, who had returned to defense, passionately pulled David Luiz up from the turf, high-fived and hugged him.

Although the referee on duty gave Everton a free kick opportunity in front of Chelsea's penalty area.

But for Chelsea's players it is well worth paying such a price.

At least Naismith and Jelavic, who had just inserted themselves into the Chelsea penalty area, were not allowed to shoot.

At this moment, Li Ang looked a little solemn and shook his head slightly.

And with a similar expression to his, there was Mourinho standing on the sidelines with his hands folded.

Mourinho's decision to press forward and attack at the beginning of the game is completely fine.

The problem is that after pressing through the center line to suppress Everton, Chelsea only performed well but did not score.

Then a series of problems of being counterattacked by the opponent will naturally follow.

This time Everton's counterattack attempt was indeed defused by David Luiz's excellent defense.

But what about next time?

After Everton's continuous threatening counterattacks, can Chelsea ensure that there will be no problems with its defense every time?

When he thought of this, Mourinho subconsciously looked at Li Ang on the court.

But after thinking seriously for a few seconds, Mourinho gave up the idea of ​​letting Li Ang delay.

Let Li Ang be dedicated to defense now, and he can even be better than Ramirez Gaesien.

But that would be a waste of Li Ang's current offensive capabilities.

"This damn FIFA virus..."

Mourinho, who scratched his head and couldn't figure out how to break the game, could only let Li Ang run more on both offense and defense.

With great ability comes great responsibility. Coupled with his absolute trust in Li Ang, Mourinho has no choice but to suffer Li Ang a little more at this time.

This is not a problem for Li Ang. Whether it is defense or offense, as long as the team needs his focused performance, there is no problem for him to do more work.

So for the rest of the first half, I watched Li Ang running from offense to defense, acting like a father and a mother at both ends.

Even those who are not Chelsea fans can only say this:

In tears!

It was precisely because of Li Ang's tireless midfield sweep that Everton's repeated counterattacks did not really threaten Chelsea's goal in the end.

It's a pity that Chelsea still has nothing to gain on the offensive end.

De Bruyne, who played two full World Cup qualifying rounds, and Hazard, who played only one World Cup qualifying round, are in similar condition.

The performance of both sides of them is average, so most of Li Ang's distribution of ball rights can only be lost.

Not to mention getting no offensive feedback, the key is that there is Lukaku at the front who can't get to the right position!

Lukaku did well in normal off-the-ball movements and finding gaps.

But even at that moment before shooting, he was either too fast or too slow. Li Ang could only sigh helplessly in his heart.

Li Ang believes that if Chelsea immediately adjusts their tactical thinking, they will not play so many complex combinations of wing and center and penetration in the middle.

Just play counterattack and let Lukaku have enough space to rush, then his performance will definitely be better.

But Chelsea is not such a team. With this style of play, they can at best try to qualify for the European Cup, let alone hope for the championship.

So Chelsea can't change, and neither can Lukaku's habit of playing in the middle.

On the offensive end, Mourinho can only find other ways to make changes.

However, during the halftime break, Mourinho glanced around and looked at Oscar. Mourinho was a little moved, but in the end he shook his head.

This guy has good abilities, but on the one hand, he conflicts with Li Ang's current position.

On the other hand, his ability is not outstanding enough to forcibly change the stalemate.

After going around in a circle, Mourinho finally withdrew Lukaku from the center position.

Torres came on directly after the start of the second half and moved to the front of the striker.

Even if Everton's defense is marking him, Torres can't score a goal, but he can at least withdraw to make a fulcrum.

Lukaku was not directly substituted, but Hazard, whose performance today was really hard to describe.

Not to mention his weak foot when breaking through, Hazard had a good shooting opportunity in the first half and shot the football directly into the stands.

Lukaku at least has a strong impact at the back.

In comparison, Mourinho feels that keeping Lukaku on the court may have a greater offensive effect.

Of course, Hazard also knew about his poor performance today, so he very obediently expressed that he understood the coach's arrangement.

After the change of formation, Chelsea finally opened a gap on the left wing first.

This kid Lukaku has space and has the ball to rush forward, which is really useful!

And Li Ang, who has gained more tactical freedom from Mourinho, is now bolder and presses closer to Everton's penalty area!

Although up to now, Li Ang's shooting ability value has just exceeded 74.

But he has now crossed the threshold of 85 long-range shooting ability and 87 heading ability, which gives him a lot of offensive space inside and outside the Everton penalty area.

After Li Ang further improved his position, Everton's defensive players in the middle and in the penalty area couldn't help but become nervous!

After all, in the last round of the Premier League, Li Ang only scored twice against Aston Villa.

A blast shot to break the deadlock and a header to score the goal made all the Premier League teams dare not underestimate Li Ang's late penetration.

But when these Everton defensive players marked Li Ang more closely, Lukaku on the left gained a wider space to perform.

In the 64th minute of the second half, after Li Ang received Torres' back-handed header, he did not rush forward or split the ball.

After he pulled himself to the right, he first signaled De Bruyne to continue playing, but then he knocked the ball back to Essien who inserted into the middle.

Li Ang's early cross pass and Essien's running game work well together.

After receiving the ball, Essien first pretended to take a long shot. After Everton's backcourt defense became chaotic, he rushed the ball to Bertrand, who was actively playing on the left, before Barry's interception!

Almost at the same time, Lukaku, who cut inside, and Torres, who returned to the Everton penalty area again, both raised their arms and started to rush forward!

Bertrand observed for a moment and then directly made a slightly rounded arc pass!

Distin subconsciously ran towards Lukaku, Chelsea's tallest and strongest offensive player who was in the Everton penalty area at the moment.

Jagielka realized something was wrong.

But just as he was about to put down Torres and run towards Li Ang, who had adjusted his pace to take off at the back point of the penalty area, he was blocked by the experienced Torres, who was moving laterally!

Before he even had time to utter the foul language, Jagielka saw that Liang had already overwhelmed his left back Baynes and completed the goal with a head shake!

"Oh, this is a good opportunity! Lukaku passed, Bertrand's bottom! He was making adjustments... and passed the ball! Behind the Everton penalty area! Leon——!!!"

When Zhan Jun's high-pitched roar resounded in the ears of every Chinese fan watching the Premier League live broadcast, there were not a few fans who roared excitedly along with him!

Li Ang's head-swinging attack was very powerful!

After all, Baynes, who is only 1.7 meters tall, did not put much pressure on him in the fight for the top.

The veteran American goalkeeper Howard is very experienced, but his reactions are declining year by year as he gets older.

Facing this close header, Howard didn't even make a save!

The only thing he could do was to turn his head and watch the football rub against the inside of the goal post and the side netting. Finally, it passed the line without any dispute and fell on the turf inside the Everton goal!

The game situation, which had been deadlocked for almost sixty-five minutes, was ruthlessly broken by Li Ang at this moment!

Mourinho was also completely excited, even more excited than when Chelsea won a clean sheet at Old Trafford!

He rushed out of the coaching bench, almost exactly like Li Ang. After sprinting for a certain distance, he jumped up and punched in the air and roared in celebration!

Of course, Mourinho is definitely not as high as Li Ang now, but the passion between the two is almost the same!

And just when Chelsea players rushed towards Li Ang with passion.

Countless Chelsea fans also covered their heads and kept screaming and exclaiming in front of the TV!

They have been completely impressed by Li Ang's ability to fight tough battles!

It is said that hearing is false and seeing is true.

And now the Premier League fans from all walks of life who have witnessed Li Ang's tough performance are speechless.

The FIFA virus has indeed had a huge impact on Chelsea, but so what?

Li Ang's ability to hide the truth is really strong!
