Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

Li Ang was very excited, which is completely understandable.

As a midfielder, he received his first hat-trick in his career, which he achieved against the powerful rival Manchester City!

His three goals can be said to have helped Chelsea defeat Manchester City head-on. They are full of gold and it makes sense to be excited about him.

At this moment, Azar did not hesitate to give in. He happily hugged Li Ang and celebrated together, with a smile on his face!

He also received two assists in this game, can he be unhappy?

He just made a simple pass to Li Ang, but he didn't expect Li Ang to go to Longtan alone and score another explosive shot!

You have to ask Hazard before this game.

Does he prefer to shine and then send out passes to help his teammates score, or does he want to be like Busquets, giving Messi a ball and then watching Messi score in one go?

He would definitely choose the former.

But making such a choice does not prevent him from saying that it tastes great!

The assist I picked up is so awesome!

Once the two assists in this game are added, his six assists equaled the number of assists in the team of De Bruyne and Li Ang.

This greatly increased Hazard's fighting spirit.

This is not to say that there is any comparison, but as Chelsea's assist leader last season, Hazard still has his own pride in this aspect.

Maybe in the end he will lose to De Bruyne and Li Ang in terms of assists, but at least he worked hard and kept pace with these two teammates.

Such healthy competition will undoubtedly promote the overall growth of the three of them.

The three of them all knew this about each other.

So after De Bruyne finished celebrating with his teammates, he looked at each other with a smile and nodded to each other tacitly.

After all, passing and assisting is also De Bruyne's technical strength. His competitive spirit has never been weak, and he will naturally actively participate in assist competitions with his teammates!

In comparison, Li Ang's sense of competition in this area is much shallower.

In other words, he did not regard the current Hazard and De Bruyne as his opponents.

His ambition is even greater.

He took two players with super statistics in the Premier League in previous seasons as the ones he wanted to compete with and surpass!

That's Lampard in the 2009-10 season, and Henry in the 02-03 season!

The former scored 22 goals and 14 assists in the Premier League in the 2009-10 season, while the latter even more exaggeratedly scored 24+20 in the 2002-03 season!

You know, this is data for a single league.

Being able to score double 20 plus points in a single league only shows that this player is extremely dominant!

After Li Ang came to the Premier League, the goal he set for himself was actually to reach double 20 plus in all competitions in a single season.

But now he finds that he has a broader space for data growth, and more potential possibilities that he doesn't even know about!

So far, in the 9th round of the Premier League, after performing this hat trick.

Li Ang found that his data had reached the point of 7 goals and 6 assists in the Premier League and 9 goals and 6 assists in the third-tier competition!

It is true that his scoring explosiveness is not as strong as the data reflects.

Maybe in the later period, if his shooting feeling is not right, he may fall into a goal drought that lasts for three or four games, or even five or six games.

A hat trick cannot be a performance that can be achieved every three to five times.

But Li Ang still sees hope in himself that he can surpass the statistics of the two Premier League seniors!

Precisely because the data seems insurmountable, the challenge is all the more interesting.

At this moment, Li Ang, who had completed his third celebration of the entire game with his teammates, was feeling very excited!

He was not satisfied. He wanted to climb to a higher peak, to stand where the two seniors had stood, and to appreciate the unique scenery.

Therefore, after the game restarted again, Li Ang's desire to attack did not weaken at all.

He was like a hungry attacking beast, still looking for space to insert or pass among the sad Manchester City defenders.

In the 77th minute of the second half, Li Ang's bold through ball successfully helped Lukaku, who came on as substitute for Ibrahimovic, to get a semi-lone chance!

But this time Lukaku, who was closely guarded by Kompany, did not get the slightest chance to convert and hit the goal with his feet.

When Li Ang saw Lukaku finally kicking the football away with his right foot in front of Manchester City's penalty area, a mask of pain suddenly appeared on his face.

"Damn it! In the future, this kid must train his right foot hard, hard!"

Knowing that his shot was missed, Lukaku also shrank his neck and extended a slightly apologetic thumbs up to Li Ang.

But at this moment, other Chelsea players and Mourinho no longer care about Lukaku's wasted opportunity.

After all, it’s not a 1:0 or 2:1 score. Now they are leading Manchester City 3:0. Lukaku’s recent performance has been really good. Let him be happy once he is happy~

This excellent offensive opportunity was also Chelsea's last threatening attack in this game.

Both Li Ang and Hazard were replaced by Mourinho early in the last 10 minutes.

After enjoying the cheers and applause given to him alone by all the Chelsea fans.

Li Ang and his teammates were also laughing and joking on the bench, waiting until the whistle sounded at the end of the game!

Guardiola didn't finally lose his serious expression until the whistle sounded.

After greeting Mourinho and hugging him half cordially and half helplessly, Guardiola immediately walked towards his disciples.

This defeat is not a major defeat in terms of hard power.

Manchester City lost the ball too early, and Li Ang's outburst today is not Chelsea's normal offensive method.

So it is not so much that we should go back and review the game immediately to find out the deficiencies in the tactical layout.

Guardiola knows that his more important job at this moment is to let his disciples understand that they can afford to lose and have a calm mentality.

Don't let this defeat take away from the success they have had in their last eight league games.

Mourinho doesn't need to do any more psychological building for his players.

Because he is usually strict enough in management and his attitude is harsh enough.

So at this moment when the whole team should be celebrating, he has never been arrogant, but will personally participate and encourage his players to enjoy the wonderful taste of victory!

At this moment, Mourinho is the kindest teacher in the eyes of Terry and Lampard, and a good father in the eyes of Essien.

Chelsea's young players also put down their psychological pressure and gathered around Mourinho in a relaxed manner, asking him for credit and joking with him.

The picture of the entire Chelsea team laughing and celebrating made the headlines of the major sports media in England the next day.

"Nine rounds undefeated, eight wins!" Mourinho's perfect answer at the beginning of the season! 》

"Real Madrid lost money, Li Ang's real worth should be 120 million!" 》

"Abu laughs heartily, 80 million is still a bargain"

"In the last 1 goal and 4 assists, Li Ang's season statistics are in double figures! 》

…

On this day, all the British sports newspapers and magazines were basically praising the performance of Mourinho, Li Ang and Chelsea in the new season.

That blow was simply earth-shattering.

Those who don’t know may think that Chelsea has already booked this season’s Premier League championship trophy before even finishing ten rounds of the league.

After celebrating happily last night, Chelsea's players all returned to the training base this afternoon.

No matter how loud the newspapers outside were, they couldn't feel half happy at the moment.

Because the damn EFL Cup is about to start tomorrow night!

Yes, after the bloody battle against Manchester City, the Chelsea team only had about a day and a half to rest.

This schedule is no longer a question of whether there is hell or not. It is obvious that this guy wants the lives of Premier League players!

The key is that it is not easy for Chelsea to complain to the FA this time.

Because of the Manchester duo, the top teams in the Premier League, Arsenal and Tottenham, are all the same.

They all have to rest for a day or two after finishing the league and then fight again in the EFL Cup.

In comparison, the opponents Chelsea drew were pretty good.

They drew the Black Cats Sunderland in the 16-to-8 knockout round of the EFL Cup.

Compared with Manchester United playing Arsenal and Manchester City playing Newcastle in the knockout rounds, Chelsea's round is not too easy.

Sunderland is currently ranked second to last in the Premier League with a record of one win, one draw and seven losses. Based on the strength they have shown, they are at best the level of a team competing for the English Championship play-offs.

However, in order to more safely enter the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup, Mourinho finally chose to activate partial rotation and leave half of the main players to challenge Sunderland away from home.

After 90 minutes of fierce battle, with the goals of Liang, Lukaku and Lampard, Chelsea defeated Sunderland 3:1 in the away game and entered the final 8 of this season's English League Cup!

It was Gary Cahill's injury in the second half of the game that made Mourinho feel annoyed for a while.

Sunderland's tenacious hard-hitting made Chelsea's main players who insisted on playing in this game aggravated their physical fatigue.

Even Li Ang, who had not yet had time to use the physical recovery potion, received a serious warning from the team doctor after the game that he needed to take a rest.

Mourinho had no choice now and quickly let Karas, Ake, and Van Ginkel work together with the remaining Chelsea rotation players.

Three days passed, and it was the afternoon of November 2, which was when the opening game of the 10th round of the Premier League started.

Mourinho directly sent a starting lineup composed almost of pure rotation players and youth training players to challenge the Magpies Newcastle away away.

Many of Chelsea's main players, including Li Ang, Hazard and Lampard, are on the team's 18-man roster.

But they just acted as a smoke bomb before the game and had no chance to come off the bench.

Chelsea finally suffered their first defeat of the new season at St. James' Park.

1-3, even if Van Ginkel and Karas tried their best, their current strength level is still incomparable to the veterans of the middle and upper reaches of the Premier League.

Ivanovic once again successfully reversed the ball and scored a header, but to no avail.

After losing this league game, Chelsea's record became 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, exactly the same as Arsenal, which was closely behind them.

However, with a more solid defense, Chelsea currently ranks first in the Premier League with a greater goal difference advantage.

Mourinho still performed exceptionally well at the post-match press conference.

"Release? What did I release? You are slandering. Your question is very dangerous!"

"Everyone knows that I have always been generous in giving young players more training opportunities."

"No head coach can guarantee that when he gives young players more opportunities to play and perform, he can still maintain a stable record."

"But even if I pay for the turbulence of results, I think it is necessary. It is worth it because they are the future of Chelsea and we have high expectations for this group of young players."

"So please don't say this is disrespectful, it's unfair to our young boys."

"This is just a simple scientific rotation, it's reasonable!"
