Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

"I knew it! I knew you would definitely see my movement!"

When being hugged by the strong Lukaku, Li Ang had to pat his arm to signal him not to be so excited.

"Fourth goal of the season?"

Li Ang asked Lukaku. If he remembered correctly, this goal should be Lukaku's fourth goal this season.

"Yes, this is the third goal in the league. I also scored a goal in the last round of the Champions League!"

Lukaku raised his big head quite proudly.

He played as a substitute for Chelsea this season, and his scoring efficiency was not low at all. He is indeed worthy of pride. After all, he is still a young man who has only turned 20 years old.

At this moment, commentators from various countries are also vigorously praising Lukaku's performance.

In addition to the goals scored in the previous two national team games, Lukaku has scored in three consecutive games recently.

Lukaku's efficient performance in the club and national team, as well as his dazzling performance after his transformation this season, are worth mentioning.

As for Li Ang's performance of getting another assist, commentators from various countries except China are now very calm.

No commentator would still regard Li Ang as a rising star.

In the eighth round of the Premier League, Li Ang had already handed over five goals and six assists in third-line combat.

You know, this is Li Ang's debut season in the Premier League.

Faced with such data, what more needs to be said?

Li Ang is already a well-deserved midfield superstar in active football.

So in the face of his outstanding performance, both the commentators and the fans from various countries have now become accustomed to it.

Playing against Cardiff City, it is normal and appropriate for Li Ang to perform like this. This is also in line with his current tactics and reputation as the core of the Blues.

"Don't slack off. We tried to score a second goal in the first half. We all ran and put more pressure on the opponent. Their side defense ability is very average..."

After finishing the celebration, Li Ang routinely warned his teammates.

Medel, who was very close to Li Ang at this moment, raised his eyebrows. He obviously heard what Li Ang said.

But in the end he didn't do anything drastic.

If it were still in Seville, Medel might have to ask Leon for an explanation.

But in Cardiff City...

Medel, who knew that he came here just for the high salary, had to admit in his heart that what Li Ang said was too special!

The defensive prowess of his new teammates is like shit.

But is everyone just doing it for money? It’s not shabby to play together for a season or two temporarily.

So Medel ended up pretending not to hear.

He just made sure that he did his best and fulfilled his responsibilities in the position he held.

Do you really want to play for your life in a club where there is no chance of winning honors?

That’ll cost extra!

There are not a few players in the Cardiff City team who think like Medel.

They definitely have the professionalism, but it is definitely unrealistic for them to do everything for Cardiff City.

After the defensive strategy of sticking to the center line failed, the wings were unable to withstand Chelsea's repeated attacks.

Upon seeing this, Cardiff City's head coach Mikey could only change the position of the two full-backs to 4, 2, 3, and 1, hoping to press out and attack.

Medel, who is good at offense and defense, was directly mentioned by Mikey to the central midfielder position.

In this way, Leon and Medel were completely misaligned.

Li Ang felt very happy about this.

It’s not that he felt relieved because he no longer had to face Medel’s defense.

It was because I felt happy when I saw Cardiff City's central gate wide open.

Now there is no need for him to play in person. Oscar can kill seven in and seven out of Cardiff City's defensive midfielder.

In the 37th minute of the first half, Oscar received Li Ang's advancing ball.

After breaking into Cardiff City's penalty area, Oscar made a decisive cross and assisted De Bruyne to push and score near the penalty spot of Cardiff City's penalty area!

Cardiff City's previous performance bubble was punctured before halftime after meeting a truly top Premier League team!

Even at the beginning of the second half, Cardiff City got a goal back with Medel's assist from midfield partner Mucci's long shot.

But this goal was of no help to Cardiff City's final defeat.

After Li Ang and Hazard were replaced early, Chelsea still scored goals successively from Oscar and Ramirez, who came on the bench.

In the end, Chelsea also won a 4-1 victory at Cardiff City's home court!

The haze of public opinion surrounding Chelsea's draw with Norwich in early October was swept away with the arrival of this big win.

Some English media who criticized Mourinho's bold rotation before the game simply chose to shut up after the game.

The controversial rotation suddenly turned into a far-sighted decision by Mourinho.

Chelsea's main veterans, who have been more fully rested, will have more physical fitness to face in the next focus game of the Champions League with Schalke 04.

And this is definitely bad news for Schalke 04, which was tied by Basel in the last round of the Champions League group stage.

On October 21, 2013, the entire Chelsea team flew to Germany one day in advance to play the game early.

And various German media also "welcomed" Li Ang and Mourinho very warmly.

In the past two seasons, Real Madrid has ruined all thoughts of the Champions League in German football.

As for the figure who impressed the most in the Mourinho Real Madrid team, the German media's first choice is naturally Mourinho, and the second choice is basically Leon and Ronaldo.

It would be inappropriate to simply describe the impression brought about by this profound impression as disgusting.

This complex emotion contains more of the helplessness and pain of the German media.

Whether it was the double defeat of Bayern in the 2012 Champions League semi-finals, or the four defeats of Dortmund in the 2012-13 season, and restrained Bayern in the final to win the championship.

Mourinho's tactical design, Cristiano Ronaldo's difficulty in limiting and Li Ang's suppression of the midfielders of Bayern and Dortmund...

The German media can still tell every detail clearly.

And just when they had finished suffering this summer and were still thinking about avenging their shame and continuing to seek revenge from Real Madrid, Real Madrid disbanded on their own.

This dramatic result made many German media and fans feel very complicated.

Finally, we no longer have to face that big devil team of the Champions League.

But it is a pity that this big devil team has not been defeated by any foreign enemy, and they will not give their defeated opponents a chance to challenge them again.

This feeling of both regret and luck tortured the German media for several months.

Until today, Mourinho and Leon came to North Rhine-Westphalia again.

Schalke 04 does not represent the current peak level of German football, and Li Ang and Mourinho cannot represent the former Mourinho-style Real Madrid.

But in this familiar area, the German media quickly became excited to see the German team facing Mourinho and Li Ang's team again.

For Mourinho and Li Ang, they also felt a lot of familiarity in their hearts when they came to North Rhine-Westphalia again.

This sense of familiarity did not arise because of Schalke 04.

Simply because Schalke 04 is a good neighbor, Borussia Dortmund caused a lot of trouble for Real Madrid to defend their Champions League title last season.

When he went to Schalke to step on the field that afternoon, Li Ang could even see a few Hornet fans waving Dortmund scarves on both sides of the street, cheering to the bus they were sitting on.

Li Ang couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene, feeling very weird.

Before coming to Germany, he never imagined that Dortmund fans would cheer for him.

You know, when he was a guest at the Westfalenstadion last season, he was the most disgusted figure among Hornets fans.

It seems that the theory of "flexibility and friendship" among East Asia, China, Japan and South Korea is very applicable to the whole world~

The players in the Chelsea team are not too nervous about facing Schalke 04.

One is because Schalke 04's current performance in the Bundesliga is relatively average, and the other is because Schalke 04 used all its main players but was tied by Basel.

Everything is based on comparison. Chelsea almost overturned in Basel before, and that was also because of the rotation.

Later, when Mourinho replaced Liang, Basel's magic disappeared.

Of course, when it comes to strength assessment, Chelsea players still believe that Schalke 04 will be stronger than Basel, but not by the same level.

So there is no need for them to worry about not being able to beat Schalke 04.

It is certainly a good thing to have such confidence. When holding a tactical meeting in the hotel, Mourinho was also instilling in all the players the belief that this game must be won.

So after making full preparations the next day and heading off to Schalke, the entire Chelsea team was full of confidence and high morale!

But Li Ang, who is familiar with Mourinho, knows that there will definitely be a turning point.

Because Mourinho always looks like he is the best in the world when facing the media.

But when preparing for the game and giving training before the game, he really wanted all his disciples to be vigilant when facing their opponents.

And after the pre-match warm-up that night, Mourinho suddenly got angry in the locker room as expected.

All kinds of ridicule to the young players in the Chelsea team have led to such inflated self-confidence that they have blinded themselves.

Hazard, De Bruyne and Bertrand, who had not had much experience working with Mourinho before, were all confused.

Last night, Mourinho was very happy to praise them for their confidence and momentum. So before today's game, Mourinho suddenly fell out again?

Based on Mourinho's power of speaking out on the training ground and in the locker room in the past, although all the young Chelsea players felt a little aggrieved, they did not talk back.

Most of Chelsea's young players cannot listen to the warning mixed with Mourinho's sarcastic words at this moment.

But it was obvious that the idea of ​​looking down on Schalke 04 in their hearts disappeared in an instant.

Li Ang and the Chelsea veterans, who were used to seeing this kind of scene, looked serious on their faces, but they were already laughing in their hearts.

They all came here like this in the beginning.

To put it bluntly, Mourinho's face is completely that of a dog, and it changes at will.

But the effect is also quite good.

Maybe for a while, the young players will feel aggrieved and confused about Mourinho's intentions.

But this emotional awkwardness is far better than the regret and pain after suffering from underestimating the enemy.

And 5 minutes later, Schalke 04 players inexplicably bore the anger of Chelsea's young players.

Mourinho puaded them, and they didn't know who to pua, so naturally they had to find the Schalke 04 players to practice hard!

Among them, Hazard and De Bruyne were the hardest hit!

The Belgian wings showed an extremely strong desire to attack as soon as they came on the field today.

I don’t know if there is any blessing from the Bundesliga.

De Bruyne, who has been more of a threat through passing in the Premier League this season, seemed to have turned into a maniac in this game.

Even Li Ang didn't expect that De Bruyne, who was not very outstanding in small skills and dribbling, could still perform such a wonderful performance in passing.

I watched as my two wings suppressed Schalke 04 not long after the game started.

Li Ang was also happy and at ease, constantly distributing the ball to Hazard and De Bruyne.

Because Ramirez is partnering with him in the central midfield position today, Chelsea's central interception ability is stronger than usual.

Lost the ball? Then just grab it back!

Li Ang had already recovered the ball twice in the first 10 minutes of today's game and contributed a wonderful defensive interception!

Boateng, who just transferred from AC Milan to Schalke 04 this summer, plays center.

At this time, he had to retreat to the midfield to help his midfielders transfer the ball.

He was afraid that Li Ang would continue to steal like this unscrupulously.

His little brother Max Meyer and Draxler, who just tried to go to the middle but was severely punished by Leon, are about to have psychological shadows.

Before the game, Li Ang, Ibrahimovic and Boateng were chatting and high-fiving and hugging each other.

As a result, during the game, Li Ang was the first to turn his back and deny anyone. This time he kicked the ball so hard that his eyes twitched when he looked at Boateng.

Compared with the previous seasons, the strength of Schalke 04 today has not dropped much, but the experience of playing important games has dropped a lot.

The reason is actually the same as Chelsea.

After a batch of young players emerged in the midfield and frontcourt to replace the original veterans, their experience and performance in tough battles were naturally not as good as before.

This is also one of the important reasons why Li Ang is more willing to consolidate defense in the middle today.

He likes teaching newcomers in football a lesson~

No matter whether you are a so-called outstanding newcomer in La Liga, the Premier League or the Bundesliga, as long as you meet Li Ang, you will definitely be taught a lesson first.

Clemens and Max Meyer, two young guys, learned the lesson after suffering several losses.

Li Ang was no match for one-on-one, so the two of them went around. After all, the game was a team versus a team, not a solo between individuals.

It's normal if you can't get past Li Ang for the time being, just keep a calm mind.

As a result, their little friend Draxler just refused to accept it. He was just like Kovacic back then, he was so stupid that he just wanted to take the ball and fuck with Li Ang!

In the 15th minute of the first half, it was because of Draxler's reckless one-on-one that Li Ang stole the ball on the right side of the midfield and easily penetrated Schalke 04's midfield defense!

Pushing all the way to the hinterland of Schalke 04's defensive third, Li Ang distributed the ball to De Bruyne who raised his hand on the right.

Schalke 04 midfielder Neustadt, who had been passed by De Bruyne twice before, subconsciously took two steps back and stared at De Bruyne's next move.

But he didn't expect that it was his retreat that allowed De Bruyne to calmly adjust his footing and send a wide arcing pass into the Schalke 04 penalty area!

Ibrahimovic, who was actively running, saw the opportunity and had already thrown away Hewedes and rushed towards the landing point of the football.

However, Matip, who is also tall, has blocked his position first at this moment, making it impossible for Ibrahimovic to calmly compete for the top.

"Zlatan!"

A familiar roar appeared in Ibrahimovic's ears.

It was this roar that made Ibrahimovic change his mind about forcing a top attack without even thinking about it.

After tightening his waist and abdomen, Ibrahimovic resisted Matip's defensive interference and sent De Bruyne's lob pass into the penalty area with a header, and directly headed it outside the penalty area!

The football jumped up again after landing at the top of Schalke 04's penalty area.

And a blue figure wearing No. 10 immediately entered the eyes of all fans paying attention to this game!

He stretched his bow and nocked an arrow, leaning his whole body slightly to the right, looking very relaxed.

His super strong core and flexibility allowed him to stabilize his body, and then he suddenly exerted force with his left calf, and swung the tight instep of his left foot toward the football!

The moment the foot comes into contact with the football, the huge force causes the football to change its direction again.

The football with almost no rotation made a whistling sound and flew straight to the upper left corner of the Schalke 04 goal!

Hildebrand, the 34-year-old German goalkeeper, inevitably reacted a little slower.

His saving action seemed to be in slow motion against the speed of the football.

The Schalke 04 fans at the scene did not see the flight path of the football clearly.

A huge sound first reached their ears. While vibrating their minds, it also brought a very unpleasant sense of tension to their brains.

Immediately after arriving at the Schalke Stadium, the almost crazy cheers of the 10,000 Chelsea fans swept the entire venue!

The football that had turned into an afterimage before was now jumping quietly and landing in the Schalke 04 goal!

And as Hildebrand landed in a slightly embarrassed posture.

The tens of thousands of Schalke 04 fans at the scene couldn't help but look at the Chelsea player who had opened his arms and roared towards the corner flag area!

That's Chelsea's number 10.

That's Li Ang!

The other Chelsea players also swarmed over excitedly!

Li Ang's high spirits were in sharp contrast to Draxler, who was looking at him dejectedly.

When countless fans saw this scene, the same thought suddenly burst out in their hearts:

The little lion is here to teach the young players again!
