Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

"Frank, I have a question, just asking.

Like the captain said, we cannot lose to Tottenham in London.

If we really want to lose to Arsenal later. Is this considered a normal result?

The captain won't be angry, right? "

After the team's mobilization speech was completed, Li Ang asked Lampard curiously while warming up on the training ground.

When Lampard heard Li Ang's "bold" question, he raised his eyebrows, then smiled and patted the back of Li Ang's head.

"Hey...what do you think? How about I ask John for you?"

As soon as Li Ang heard Lampard's tone, he immediately understood and shook his head repeatedly!

Well, he finally understood, maybe Terry really meant it when he scolded Tottenham.

But that slogan was indeed just a pre-war mobilization rhetoric.

Today Terry can say that he cannot lose to Tottenham if he loses to anyone, and he can naturally say that he cannot lose to Arsenal if he loses to anyone next time.

In London, although the derby is far less concerned than the current Manchester derby and Merseyside derby, it attracts the attention of the media and fans.

But at least it still bears the name of Derby.

Don't talk about playing Arsenal later. Even if they play Crystal Palace, the whole Chelsea team will have to stand up!

corresponding. When Crystal Palace and Fulham meet Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham, they will also try their best to score points against the three strong London teams.

It was the young man who played in Fulham's team in the last round that annoyed Li Ang.

Although he tried his best, he failed in the end, and the boy was beaten by Li Ang in the middle of the game.

If the Crystal Palace players had watched the last round of the match between Chelsea and Fulham, they probably wouldn't do such stupid things again.

On September 24, Mourinho took a rotating lineup to an away game against Swindon Club.

This is the third round of the EFL Cup, and their opponent Swindon is only a League One team.

Therefore, the number of Chelsea's main players starting today is very small.

However, after learning the lesson of almost overturning against Basel in the Champions League, Mourinho still put Li Ang in the starting lineup.

Playing in such a low-level league team, Mourinho did not choose to start Van Ginkel. Instead, Ake and Karas both got the chance to start.

In that night's game, Chelsea's tactics were not refined, but rather rough.

Swindon originally wanted to play with both wings flying together, infiltrating from the side and so on.

As a result, on Chelsea's side, Li Ang and Oscar looked for opportunities to pass the ball behind Swindon. Lukaku had a great run today.

Anyway, Chelsea's only forward is Lukaku today.

It doesn't matter whether he likes to rush in the middle or play wide. Mourinho has given Lukaku the freest tactical rights on the field.

Two passes and one shot were the last data Lukaku handed over.

His impact in lower-level leagues is indeed a casual killing.

Li Ang went down after half the game and got an assist.

With Oscar scoring twice in the second half, Chelsea won a 4-0 away victory and successfully advanced to the next round of the EFL Cup.

Li Ang looked at the schedule. They have now entered the top 16 of the English League Cup.

In other words, if they are not unlucky enough to play overtime, they only need to play four more games (the semi-finals are two rounds) to enter the EFL Cup final.

And compared with his experience in the King's Cup, Li Ang feels that the English League Cup schedule is not bad.

At least it's not the kind of hellish schedule where everyone gets together to play the previous games, only to have to wait two or three months before playing the finals.

This year's EFL Cup final was held in early March, and Li Ang's thoughts became vivid.

Chelsea's basic performance goal this season is to stably enter the top three in the league, and then strive to win an English domestic cup championship.

As for the Champions League?

Both Abramovich and Mourinho attach great importance to this event, so Chelsea's goal in the Champions League is to fight to the end and go as far as they can.

If you look at it this way, the FA Cup, which will only be played by Premier League teams in the winter, does not have much value in fighting for it.

Although Premier League teams still attach great importance to the FA Cup, this event also overlaps with the Champions League.

In addition, if there is a tie in the first round of the FA Cup, there will be a play-off round, and the schedule will not usher in the final until mid-May.

Li Ang personally feels that Chelsea would be better off giving up at this stage of the cup.

He himself can survive the fourth-line battle, if the young players in the Chelsea team are rotated properly. Maybe it can survive.

But what do the veterans say?

Now Chelsea's defense is dominated by veterans.

When one or two are injured during the winter schedule, it won't be a single-line collapse.

By then, Chelsea's results in the league and Champions League may be greatly affected by fluctuations.

Of course, how to play various events is a matter for the coaching staff to arrange and decide.

However, Li Ang can also talk to the big brothers in the team privately to see what they think of this FA Cup.

If it is convenient later, he can also talk to Mourinho in private about this multi-front battle in time.

After the English League Cup came to an end, the war in the Premier League reignited.

What's even more coincidental is that the London derby between Tottenham and Chelsea was placed in the only early game of the sixth round of the Premier League.

This period of time is very friendly to fans in China and even Asia.

At 12:45 pm local time in London, Tottenham and Chelsea will start a passionate battle.

Therefore, fans in China can watch this Premier League highlight game on time at 19:45 that night.

For the fans, this is of course an excellent arrangement, but for the players of the two teams, the feeling of playing the game is not particularly comfortable.

Chelsea's players began to adapt to having an earlier pre-training meal two days in advance, and the training time was directly moved up to 1 to 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

The purpose is to make the body excited at this time point faster.

Tottenham's preparations are similar. Both teams attach great importance to this game.

Before the game even started, fans from both teams were already yelling and fighting outside White Hart Lane.

Fortunately, the staff and police who maintained order nearby were more diligent and did not let Chelsea and Tottenham fans get into a fight outside the stadium before the game started.

Such a hot derby atmosphere made Li Ang nodded with satisfaction as he looked around on the bus.

Yeah! This special code can be called Derby!

In the previous game between Chelsea and Fulham, wasn't it just that Fulham was having trouble and Chelsea ignored it?

Listening to the constant yelling and taunting of Tottenham fans along the way, all Chelsea players finally arrived at White Hart Lane before the expected time.

According to the plan, Chelsea's players will stay on the court with Tottenham's players and complete their warm-ups in an indifferent manner.

But at this link, Li Ang first greeted a group of "old acquaintances" in the Tottenham team.

It's not his fault, because he really saw many old acquaintances, and these players were not at Tottenham before.

Soldado, Eriksen, Paulinho and Vertonghen.

Faced with Li Ang's warm and friendly greeting before the game, the four of them responded with smiles.

Among them, Erikson felt the deepest.

After he moved to Tottenham in the Premier League this season, he originally thought that he would have to play for two or three more seasons before he would have the opportunity to seek a transfer to one of the giants in La Liga.

It doesn't have to be Barcelona and Real Madrid. Atletico Madrid, Valencia or Sevilla, Eriksen can also accept it.

Then he will have another chance to play against Li Ang on the same stage. Can he meet him at least twice a season, right?

But he didn't expect that he would come to Tottenham on his own, and Li Ang would be lured to London by Chelsea!

Now, he doesn't have to wait two or three years. He can be in the same league with Li Ang in advance, and now they are both in the same city.

Therefore, the teams and fans that the two play for do not deal with each other very much, but they personally admire each other very much and have closed each other's social media for a long time.

However, today is also one of the most popular London Derby games, so the two of them had no more pleasantries after a friendly greeting before the warm-up match.

Under the midday sun, the players from both teams who had finished their warm-up jogged back to the tunnel.

When the players on both sides once again followed the referee's footsteps and stepped onto the court, the focus of the court was no longer on them.

But Mourinho and Villas-Boas were already hugging and chatting on the sidelines as if no one else was watching!

Villas-Boas, who has been away from Mourinho for several years, now no longer has the doubts and impatience with Mourinho he had in previous years.

The failure to reform Chelsea's lineup made him personally experience the difficulties of coaching in a big club, as well as the many obstacles to realizing his own tactical ideas.

The little madman was also fired by Chelsea. Only then did he realize that Mourinho was correct in advising him to be more patient and always maintain a learning attitude.

Now seeing his mentor again, all Boas, who has matured a lot, can only express gratitude.

And before the bloody war officially begins, the reminiscence between the master and his apprentice is a rare and tender scene.

However, the two very professional head coaches and their players quickly devoted themselves to their roles after the game officially started!

"Okay, the captains of both sides have finished choosing their sides. Let's take a look at the starting players of the two teams today:

Chelsea's starting goalkeeper today is Czech national goalkeeper Petr Cech.

On the back line, Ashley Cole, Terry, David Luiz and Ivanovic lined up.

Matic and Lampard served as the double defensive midfielders, Li Ang served as the attacking midfielder, and Hazard and Ramirez were placed on his left and right sides.

Ibrahimovic serves as the starting center. "

“As for the home team Tottenham, their starting goalkeeper today is French goalkeeper Lloris.

The starting players on the defensive line are:

Norton, Vertonghen, Michael Dawson and Kyle Walker.

In the midfield, Dembele and Paulinho served as the double defensive midfielder, Eriksen served as the attacking midfielder, Sigurdsson and Townsend were on either side of Eriksen.

Spanish center Soldado burst forward..."

As soon as Zhan Jun finished speaking, Zhang Luzhang, who was invited by Sina Sports to be the guest commentator for the live broadcast today, laughed and analyzed the intention of the starting arrangements of the coaches of the two teams.

"Today Ramirez started at the right midfielder position instead of De Bruyne, and his main tactical task is not to actively participate in the attack.

Instead, keep an eye on Tottenham’s left midfielder Dembele, ah, keep an eye on this player who may launch a forward push at any time. This player’s body and skills are both top-notch in the Premier League..."

After listening to Coach Zhang's talk with suspicion, the Chinese fans finally waited for the official start of the game.

Following the referee's whistle, Tottenham took the lead to kick off. Dembélé, who received Eriksen's return pass, sent a long offensive pass to kick off the battle!

Soldado, who has a more symmetrical body, obviously cannot take advantage of the competition with Matic.

After Tottenham's offensive long pass was pushed back, Li Ang and Eriksen, two old acquaintances, also staged a relatively fierce confrontation in the center circle!

Eriksen naturally tried his best, but he was definitely no match for Li Ang in terms of hand-to-hand combat.

In the end, he could only watch Li Ang win the ball and start to turn around and try to attack.

Chelsea's offensive focus today is of course on the left wing.

Hazard, who has been in good form recently, and Ashley Cole, who is full of energy after resting, were very active from the start.

After attracting Paulinho's defensive attention, Li Ang decisively distributed the ball to the left.

But before Hazard could perform, he was directly tackled by Kyle Walker and left in place!

More importantly, Li Ang and Ashley Cole's raised hands did not receive any response from the referee.

This is not a foul?

"ctmd Atkinson!"

Lampard rarely uttered a curse word in the opening stage, and then he could only helplessly signal his teammates to return to defense first and withstand Tottenham's wave of attacks.

"Damn it, Atkinson didn't wear glasses today!"

"Well, luckily we didn't let Mike Dean take charge of today's game, otherwise Chelsea would have been screwed even worse."

"My poor Zaza! God damn Walker!"

When Atkinson, the referee of today's game, showed how lenient he was in blowing the whistle, Premier League fans in China also posted complaints one after another!

For the Chelsea players on the field, anger and dissatisfaction certainly filled their brains at the moment.

Li Ang was quite angry at first, but then he thought about it, Atkinson blew the whistle so loosely today, it's impossible to completely favor Tottenham, right?

Thinking of this, Li Ang did what he said and watched Soldado pass the ball to Sigurdsson on the sideline. He went up and made a neat sliding tackle!

This fierce sliding tackle from the front made Sigurdsson dare not be careless.

But his reaction was still a beat too slow. When he took off, his toes got caught on the soles of Li Ang's shoes. In the end, he rolled hard and fell on the turf!

The football was shoveled to the right by Li Ang. At this moment, it was Tottenham's players' turn to raise their hands and roar loudly to signal the referee Atkins:

Li Ang committed a foul!

But Atkinson still shook his head, motioning for Sigurdsson to get up quickly and for the game to continue.

Ramirez was smart enough to follow the football at this moment and sent a pass directly towards Tottenham's midfielder and backfield!

Seeing that Ibrahimovic has beaten Michael Dawson to complete the header pass.

Hazard also quickly completed a shot from the edge of Tottenham's penalty area. Tottenham fans sitting in the stands covered their chests and exclaimed!

Li Ang finally felt comfortable now.

If the scale of the whistleblowing is outrageous, it doesn't matter. As long as it is similar to both sides, Li Ang is completely acceptable.

After the two offensive and defensive tests at the beginning, the players from Tottenham and Chelsea also let go of their courage and left no room for the rhythm!

However, Tottenham's defensive players are faced with ruthless characters like Li Ang and Ibrahimovic, who immediately avenge any grudges and have the upper hand in confrontations without fear at all.

In turn, Chelsea's defensive players have to deal with Soldado and Eriksen more.

Um…

The skills and strength of the two are certainly beyond words.

But in terms of playing style, Soldado from La Liga and Eriksen from Eredivisie still need to learn more from their teammates.

In short, after a hard fight, the lineup has been completely changed, and Tottenham, which seems to have embarked on a technical flow, does not seem to be a match for Chelsea.

And just when Villas-Boas was glaring fiercely at today's referee Atkinson, Mourinho had already made fine-tuning of his offensive tactics.

The referee's whistle was very loose and Chelsea had the upper hand in the confrontation, so things would be easy to handle!

A hard bridge and a hard horse's rush!

Li Ang inserted from the middle, Ramirez and Hazard advanced from both wings, and then exploded at 45 degrees!

Li Ang is still the first player to realize the meaning of his head coach.

For Ibrahimovic, this familiar offensive mode does not require him to adapt.

In the chaotic battle, the forwards grab points and the midfielder rushes with XJBT tactics!

Ibrahimovic looked back at the sidelines now, not even sure whether he was seeing Uncle Psy or Uncle Jon.

But with Li Ang on the court, the two of them can work together very well.

At this moment, the two of them had almost the same thoughts.

"It would be even better if Kevin (Boateng) can be a human shield!"

After sighing, Li Ang and Ibrahimovic watched Hazard finally succeed in tearing apart Kyle Walker's single defense on the left wing.

They worked together very tacitly and rushed into Tottenham's penalty area!

The two of them moved forward very resolutely, and the big arc cross given by Hazard was also very suitable.

So much so that the reactions of Michael Dawson and Vertonghen were so slow!

After forming a point-grabbing situation where two ghosts were attacking the goal, Ibrahimovic used more power to suppress Michael Dawson's take-off.

He didn't jump very high at the front point, and he started falling almost at the same time as Michael Dawson.

So Li Ang, who had a very wide vision, relied on his stronger ability to stay in the air and beat Vertonghen to complete the goal with a head-flicking shot from close range!

Vertonghen was unable to do anything at the moment.

Mainly because his position was blocked by Li Ang. Behind Li Ang, he couldn't take the initiative in the fight for the top!

Lori tried his best, quickly moved sideways, kicked off the ground and jumped to save his team.

But his wingspan is still a little bit behind after all.

In the end, the football almost grazed his fingertips and went straight into the far end of the Tottenham goal!

After landing, Li Ang confirmed that the football had crossed the line and rushed straight to the corner flag area excitedly!

Li Ang likes beating up old acquaintances the most?

The second chapter will still be released before midnight. Foodies are working hard to adjust their biological clocks and try to resume normal updates as early as possible.
