Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

"Before the half-time game was over, Chelsea had already taken a 3-0 lead! This result was probably something that many spectators did not expect before the game, and neither did Director Zhang or I!"

"The head coach of Schalke 04 is completely at a disadvantage in terms of tactical arrangements. They should be more proactive now because there is no retreat!

You haven't even finished the first half of the game and you've conceded three goals. It's meaningless to ask who made the mistake, which defender didn't perform well, or whether the goalkeeper didn't perform well today.

Gotta break out!

Huashan is on the same road, and scoring a goal in the last minute of the first half is the best.

If you can't score, just relax and think clearly during the halftime break. When it comes to this, just attack directly..."

He Wei and Zhang Lu were chatting in a relaxed mood in the studio of Radio 5.

When Ibrahimovic and Li Ang scored goals one after another, the two had already celebrated passionately.

So from the perspective of Schalke 04, Director Zhang still made a lot of pertinent suggestions.

After all, in this situation, to put it harshly, the game has been ruined, and there is no point in worrying about which player did not perform well.

The most important thing is to seize the halftime break and unify the team's thinking.

If the psychological pressure can be relieved smoothly, he can go out and compete with Chelsea and save face by scoring one or two goals.

But if this idea cannot be turned around, the second half of the game will still be pure torture for Schalke 04.

At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea fans are already celebrating that the team has won the first place in the Champions League group ahead of schedule!

After all, no matter what the result is between Steaua Bucharest and Basel on the other side.

As long as Chelsea can win this game against Schalke 04, Chelsea will be able to win the right to qualify for the top spot in the group two rounds in advance.

With the recent schedule becoming increasingly tight, this is excellent news for Chelsea.

In the last two rounds of the Champions League group stage, Chelsea can completely cope with the players from the youth training and rotation, while the main Chelsea players can concentrate on dealing with the league.

But for Schalke 04 fans, their qualifying situation has reached a serious point where no mistakes can be made in the future.

If Basel beats Steaua Bucharest in this round.

In the last two rounds of competition, Schalke 04 must first defeat Steaua Bucharest by a big score, and then defeat Basel head-on!

If one link is not done well, then they may be squeezed into the Europa League by Basel.

After all, there is a high probability that Chelsea will have no desires and desires in the next two rounds and will use young players to practice.

Why should I help you with Schalke 04 and then go shopping in Basel?

The fans of Schalke 04 are quite clear-minded and know that after this disastrous defeat, they can only rely on themselves to qualify.

And Schalke 04 coach Keller obviously figured it out during the halftime break and quickly adjusted his tactics.

He first replaced Fuchs, the left midfielder who did nothing in the first half, with Clemens.

Then he replaced the team's veteran American midfielder Jermaine Jones with Max Meyer.

As soon as Coach Zhang saw Keller's substitution adjustment, he immediately patted his thigh and said he was right.

Schalke 04 also changed to 433.

The midfield combination of Boateng and Max Meier can advance forward and have the organizational ability to get the ball.

It is definitely not comparable to Chelsea, but it is enough for their own offense, which just matches their current striker level.

Schalke 04, who let go of the game, has something to say in terms of offense.

Draxler got closer to Chelsea's penalty area. At this moment, Chelsea double-teamed him, and his distribution became particularly threatening.

On the defensive end, although Schalke 04's defensive strength was much smaller than in the first half, the division of labor among the various defensive players suddenly became clear.

The pressure is high, but there is no need to worry about pig teammates anymore.

So this Champions League group stage competition officially entered its most exciting stage in the second half.

In the first half, it was just Chelsea massacring Schalke 04. In the second half, the Bundesliga giants were also trying to make their own counterattack.

The back-and-forth between the two teams is definitely much more beautiful than a one-sided massacre.

Mourinho did not issue tactical instructions, asking the Chelsea players on the field to shrink their formation, so the Chelsea team was still looking for opportunities to continue scoring goals.

It is a pity that Schalke 04 is relatively loose on other Chelsea offensive players.

Only Ibrahimovic and Li Ang, the two "executioners" who raised their butcher's knives high in the first half, were stared at closely.

All the passers in Chelsea are working hard to give Ibrahimovic the ball, hoping that Ibrahimovic can successfully score a hat trick in the Champions League.

But Ibrahimovic played until he was replaced in the 80th minute of the second half and did not score again.

However, before leaving the field, Ibrahimovic still added new personal data. He assisted Hazard and scored Chelsea's fourth goal of the game!

Lukaku's counterattack goal in stoppage time of the game was the end of this goal battle.

And the final score of this game was fixed at 5:2!

Ibrahimovic made two passes and two shots, Li Ang made one shot and two passes!

The pair were involved in all five of Chelsea's goals and scored three of them.

After the game, the two immediately became the targets of reporters on the sidelines.

Mourinho also comforted Keller, who was looking sad at the moment, with a smile on his face.

But less than a minute later, after hearing the good news from his assistant, Keller had a surprised smile on his face!

Not only him, but all the Schalke 04 players also let out shouts of surprise in the visiting team's locker room!

On the other side, the results of the game between Steaua Bucharest and Basel are out.

The two teams drew 1:1 again. Basel missed a good opportunity to overtake Schalke 04 and become second in the group. Currently, with three points, Basel is still ranked third in the group!

The German media was almost blowing up the Bucharest star at this moment!

However, one thing is that Steaua Bucharest's performance in the past two rounds of the Champions League has been quite tenacious.

Although they couldn't beat Schalke 04 and Chelsea, facing Basel, which was still stronger than them, they tenaciously won two points for themselves and had enough dignity...

Okay, this is a nicer way of saying it.

To put it bluntly, the two noobs were pecking each other, but the bigger novice was overturned in the gutter, and he couldn't beat his opponent for two consecutive rounds!

After Li Ang and his teammates finished celebrating and saying goodbye, they heard the coaches laughing about it and shook their heads.

"Sa Zi, Sa Zi, it's not like I won't help you, I'll give you a chance and you'll be useless!"

After complaining in his heart, Li Ang also forgot about his next opponent in the Champions League group.

For these Chelsea's main players, this season's Champions League group stage has ended today.

If you force it later, you will only be criticized by the media and fans as being a data brush.

Even if Li Ang no longer cared about public opinion, he would never be able to do such a thankless thing.

The most important thing for him at this stage is the remaining Premier League games in November and December.

The Champions League knockout rounds and subsequent FA Cup matches will have to wait until next year.

In addition to the league this year, Chelsea only needs to play one more quarter-final of the EFL Cup.

The same game determines the outcome, and the opponent is only Stoke City.

A bit difficult to deal with, but not a strong opponent at all.

So Li Ang was feeling quite relaxed at the moment.

After Mourinho announced that all Chelsea players participating in this round of Champions League matches would get a day off, Li Ang also cheered with his teammates.

Before the tight round of competition is completely over, this day's rest seems so precious.

Li Ang did not go to the Cobham training base for additional training the next day. Instead, he stayed at home and slept in, enjoying a day of comfortable indulgence.

Of course, his indulgence still includes aerobic exercise such as jogging and swimming in the afternoon.

After all, he was used to exercising, and if Li Ang was suddenly asked to indulge in no exercise at all for a day or two, he couldn't do it.

On the morning of November 8, Li Ang and his teammates arrived at the training base on time for reports and physical examinations.

After the afternoon training session, Mourinho also took Li Ang to his office.

Mourinho told Li Ang good news and bad news.

The good news is that in the next round of the league against West Bromwich Albion, Li Ang can gain greater tactical freedom on both offense and defense.

The bad news is that the team doctor recommended that Hazard and Lampard take turns in the next round of the league, so Li Ang has to lose two more helpers in the midfield and frontcourt.

In other words…

"Thank you for your hard work in the next round of the league, little lion. I will look for opportunities to let you rest later."

Listening to Mourinho's unreliable promise, Li Ang felt that he should look forward to the day when Lukaku can suddenly play the center...

Time was running out, and Li Ang did not show any pretense and directly reassured Mourinho.

Matic can be stable in the midfield, and Ibrahimovic is in front and Terry is behind. This configuration is enough to beat West Bromwich Albion.

Mourinho thought the same way. On the afternoon of November 9, he rarely arranged a starting lineup of 442.

In the defense, Azpilicueta, Terry, David Luiz and Ivanovic lined up.

Matic and Li Ang sit in the middle of the midfield.

Bertrand is in a good position and will start as the left midfielder today, while De Bruyne will serve as the right midfielder.

Ibrahimovic and Lukaku are a forward partner.

This lineup configuration cannot be said to be bad in any way. The media evaluation before the game was that it is more than enough to play against West Bromwich Albion, which is currently ranked 12th in the Premier League.

But what no one expected was that in this Premier League match that day, the first team to score the goal was actually West Bromwich Albion!

Sean Long, the center who scored 11 goals for West Bromwich Albion last season, received a sweep pass from teammate Amalfitano and scored in the 29th minute of the game!

West Bromwich Albion fans are excited at Stamford Bridge!

And David Luiz, who was supposed to block the ball, was a little slow in his defensive action just now for some reason.

After losing the ball, he also seemed extremely angry and slapped himself hard on the forehead.

Chelsea's offensive players, who had been unsuccessful in attacking for a long time, also seemed very helpless.

Their offensive development today was relatively smooth.

But within 30 minutes of the first half, they had already hit two goal posts, and their luck in scoring was extremely poor!

After Li Ang saw the team's setbacks on both offense and defense, he did not encourage the morale of his teammates as passionately as usual.

He pointed to his temples and then made another hand-pressing motion towards his teammates.

"Calm down, brothers, we need to stay calm, don't be anxious, start with defense first, let's take our time!"

After calming down his teammates loudly, Li Ang also pulled Bertrand to explain.

Bertrand can attack and defend, and it's okay to occasionally play as a left midfielder, but he is now a serious left back after all.

With his focus on defense, he was able to directly lock down West Bromwich Albion's right-side attack with Azpilicueta.

The middle was guarded by Li Ang and Matic who took the initiative to retreat.

It is even more difficult for West Bromwich Albion to advance through the middle.

After this defensive posture, West Bromwich Albion, who originally wanted to strike while the iron was hot to see if they could successfully steal the chicken again, also ran out of three axes and had no follow-up.

Chelsea just finished the remaining ten minutes of the first half, and Mourinho was not dissatisfied at all with Li Ang's temporary tactical decision on the court.

On the contrary, he praised Li Ang fiercely in the player tunnel, praising him for his calmness and clear thinking.

After all Chelsea players, who had calmed down at this moment, returned to the locker room, they were quickly aroused by Mourinho's stimulating words.

Adjust tactics, boost morale, and finally comfort all players and help them relieve their psychological burden.

After completing this set of procedures, Mourinho could only choose to trust his disciples 100%.

After the start of the second half, Chelsea, who no longer pursued the speed of wing advancement and crosses, but instead did more penetration in the middle, played very patiently.

Lukaku was more at the forefront, attracting the attention of West Bromwich Albion defenders.

Ibrahimovic frequently retreated to catch the ball and cooperated with Li Ang to open up Chelsea's offensive width.

With patient guidance and guidance, Chelsea's players on the left and right wings continued to probe into West Brom's defensive hinterland.

In the 62nd minute of the second half, Li Ang once again received the ball from Ibrahimovic and chose to directly transfer the ball in a wide range without stopping the ball!

He kicked the ball to the right wing where De Bruyne was wide open.

This sudden change in passing caused all West Bromwich Albion's defensive players to subconsciously tilt towards their left.

And this season, De Bruyne, who has become famous at Chelsea through threatening passes time and time again, has been kicked out.

At this moment, he confidently sent out his iconic arc cross!

Lukaku caught up with him, and his powerful impact made West Bromwich Albion's two central defenders dare not ignore it!

But De Bruyne's cross ended up bypassing the three of them.

The moment he walked back, he was stopped by Ibrahimovic, who had been deliberately one position behind!

West Bromwich Albion's Irish goalkeeper Myhill abandoned the goal and tried to expand his defensive area to force Ibrahimovic to make a shooting error.

But Ibrahimovic used a stretch and realistic fake shot to pass Myhir first, and then succeeded in pushing the shot into the empty goal!

After scoring the equalizing goal, Ibrahimovic simply celebrated with a fist pump in the West Bromwich Albion penalty area.

Then he ran towards his own half with Li Ang who rushed into the goal and picked up the football!

The other Chelsea players, whose morale had soared, no longer cared about celebrating. They waved their arms and roared to encourage themselves and their teammates!

As for West Bromwich Albion, who was suddenly hit hard, everyone was a little panicked.

In the past 10 rounds of the Premier League, they have scored 10 goals and conceded 10 goals.

The offensive level can only be ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, but the defensive level looks good.

But after being hit twice by Chelsea in the first half and being scored this time in the second half.

West Bromwich Albion players all understand that data cannot reflect the gap in hard power between them and Chelsea.

They wanted to hold on, and so did West Bromwich Albion manager Steve Clark.

So after West Bromwich Albion re-kicked off, they quickly unified their tactical thinking and stayed tightly in their own half, trying to control the ball more to delay time.

The entire Chelsea team actively pressed past the center line. After gaining the ball, they quickly spread out their formation and continued to besiege West Bromwich Albion!

Previous goals have proven that Mourinho's tactical adjustments are correct.

Chelsea's players also had no doubts about him and continued to patiently use passes to tear apart West Bromwich Albion's defense.

Ibrahimovic, who scored a goal, has obviously become the focus of West Brom's defenders at this moment.

However, Ibrahimovic's excellent skills and body make him difficult to target.

Even if he can no longer easily kick off, he can still serve as a fulcrum and firepower attraction to help other Chelsea offensive players get opportunities.

Chelsea's patience allowed them to still get several good shooting opportunities on the offensive end.

Even if they didn't score a goal, all Chelsea players always had firm confidence and great hope.

And Li Ang has been actively looking for the next time a wide crack appears in West Bromwich Albion's defense.

It wasn't until the 84th minute of the second half that Li Ang found such an excellent opportunity again!

Ibrahimovic was fighting in the penalty area with West Bromwich Albion's centre-back and his national team teammate Olsson.

Lukaku suddenly ran forward and rushed to the right side of West Bromwich Albion's penalty area!

There was indeed a small gap in that place for a short time.

After West Bromwich Albion's defenders noticed it, they quickly made up their positions and double-teamed Lukaku.

Li Ang moved at this moment.

But instead of passing the ball in the direction of Lukaku's movement, he did the opposite and gave the ball to Bertrand, who cut inside the West Brom penalty area on the left!

Bertrand, who had received a golden opportunity, was looking at the crowded West Brom penalty area and knew that his pass might be destroyed by West Brom's defensive players first.

So he held back all his energy and used his smooth left foot to directly hit a powerful ball that seemed to be passed and shot!

The ball may hit the goal, or it may fly directly out of the door frame, but Bertrand dares to bet that West Bromwich Albion's defenders do not dare to bet!

Macaulay, another West Brom central defender who is about to turn 34, chose to fly to block the hole of the gun!

He used his chest to block Bertrand's football from the small penalty area!

But the tightness and pain in his chest made his mind unusually clear at this moment, so he could clearly see Li Ang, who had begun to adjust his pace in response to the ball's landing point!

At this moment, Li Ang was not at all as happy and confident as Macaulay thought.

It's difficult to hit a volley, even if he just scored a very beautiful volley shot some time ago.

But he himself had to admit that at that time he was not more than half sure of scoring.

To put it bluntly, sometimes playing this kind of ball is just gambling!

But Li Ang had no other choice at the moment, he could only gamble!

The worst thing you can do if you lose the bet is to be laughed at for a week.

Li Ang can afford this price, and he is not afraid of being laughed at.

What he is more afraid of is that he does not dare to try when faced with opportunities!

So when the football flew towards Li Ang's controllable range, he didn't think too much, let alone stop the football and readjust the offense.

Take a deep breath, quickly adjust your pace, judge the landing point of the football, swing your legs, and exert force!

Li Ang really felt the tight instep of his right foot and the tangible touch of the football.

He tried his best to suppress his own strength, and also tried his best to suppress the football running towards the goal.

In a flash of lightning, Li Ang saw West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Myhill jump into the air and make a save.

He also saw the surprised and worried expression on Macaulay's face.

After the force was unbalanced, Li Ang blinked. He did not clearly see the trajectory of the football.

But just half a second later, he saw the football passing by Myhill's saving fingertips and diving into the West Bromwich Albion goal! ! !

Almost at the same time, the passionate screams of more than 30,000 Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge suddenly sounded!

It also roared suddenly into Li Ang's ears!

He Wei was completely excited!

His commentary was as fast as a machine gun firing bullets!

Under his passionate celebration explanation, Director Zhang was completely speechless and could only laugh continuously!

And the Sky Sports commentator was completely impressed by Li Ang's tenacious and wonderful performance at this moment!

"Once again the savior in danger! The eighth goal in the Premier League debut season! Eight goals and six assists in eleven league rounds! No. 1 in the Premier League in goals scored! Top three in goals and assists! The defensive data is far ahead! This!

It’s Li Ang! ! ! "

Hurry up and hurry up, today's 10,000 words have been achieved...
