Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

After Li Ang's strong performance helped Chelsea successfully overturn West Bromwich Albion.

As expected, he once again became the focus of discussion in the entire English football world!

Arsenal fans, who were tied by Manchester United in the last round of the league, felt like they were going crazy.

At that time, their game was played at the same time as Chelsea's. At halftime, Chelsea was trailing 0-1, but they were leading 2-0.

Many Arsenal fans were already celebrating in advance at that time.

After all, they can kill the traitor Van Persie right before their eyes, and at the same time, they can overtake Chelsea and sit at the top of the Premier League.

As a result, after 45 minutes, Chelsea stubbornly reversed West Bromwich Albion.

But their Arsenal was tied with a half-time pass and shot by the explosive Robin van Persie!

In this short 45 minutes, Arsenal fans truly experienced the roller coaster of emotions.

Seeing Robin van Persie once again celebrate wildly with Manchester United players at Old Trafford, Arsenal fans' teeth were shattered.

Not to mention failing to seize this opportunity to overtake Chelsea, Arsenal was once again opened up a two-point gap by Chelsea.

Many Gunners fans were truly envious when they saw the surprise celebrations of their city rivals.

Cavani is very popular, and now Arsenal's defense is relatively stable. They just lack a core midfielder like Li Ang who can carry the team at critical moments!

"Can we make reinforcements in the winter window? It doesn't matter if we can't make up for someone like Li Ang. Can we buy a young midfielder with 70% to 80% of Li Ang's strength?"

An Arsenal fan's comment on Arsenal's official tweet quickly went viral.

Fans from other Premier League teams came to make fun of him, asking this Arsenal fan to end his dream earlier.

“You can buy a midfielder who has 70% to 80% of Li Ang’s strength in offense, and you can also buy a midfielder who has 70% to 80% of Li Ang’s strength in defense.

But want to buy someone who is as balanced on offense and defense as Li Ang? Sorry, there really isn’t one on the market! "

"Now go and ask Lafayette, if Chelsea is willing to put Li Ang on the transfer market again and let Real Madrid spend 150 million to buy it, do you think Real Madrid is willing?"

"I highly recommend Paris Saint-Germain Khedira. He is good at both offense and defense, and has plenty of physical energy. He is also a good friend of Li Ang. He is known as the beggar's version of Little Li Ang..."

Under the non-malicious jokes from various fans, Arsenal fans could only smile helplessly.

In fact, their current midfield configuration is also very good.

Turalanga and Arteta's double midfielder combination has a balanced offense and defense, and paired with Cazorla, it is a proper top midfield configuration in the Premier League.

Look at the game scenes in the past few years when the waist was not strong enough, and then look at Arsenal's solid defense and control in the backcourt this season, what else do you need a bicycle!

Maybe it's Li Ang who will make current Arsenal fans a little envious of Chelsea.

Of course it’s not just them, it’s the entire Premier League, no matter which team they are fans of.

Now who doesn't envy Chelsea for having a solid midfield core like Li Ang.

This season's schedule has not even passed 1/3, and the scenes of Li Ang taking care of Chelsea and being the savior in danger can already be highlighted.

When other fans said sourly, without Li Ang's performance at several critical moments, Chelsea would currently be ranked third in the Premier League.

Chelsea fans would not have any rebuttal, but would respond with a smile:

That's right, you guys are right. It's reasonable for us to be ranked third in the Premier League in terms of physical strength... but we are now number one in the Premier League~

Chelsea fans, who have just witnessed the team complete a comeback, are naturally confident and proud of this.

Many industry experts who were not very optimistic about Li Ang's performance in his first Premier League season at the beginning of this season did not dare to speak harshly now, and could only hold their noses and admit their mistakes in judgment.

After all, if Li Ang's statistics are average, then they can also make a fuss about Li Ang's small mistakes on the field.

But now Li Ang is ranked third on the Premier League's scorer list.

In front of him are Cavani, who scored 10 goals in 11 league rounds, and Suarez, who scored 9 goals in 6 league games after ending his suspension!

And in the Premier League assists list, Li Ang ranks first!

Do they dare to hack this data? Then I really don’t want to eat this bowl of rice.

However, after the eleventh round of the Premier League, the international match day came again.

These so-called experts were let go by the fans who turned their attention to the national team games.

Li Ang, who got at least another week of rest, did not immediately launch another special assault training at the Cobham training base.

He first flew directly to Italy and found Pintus who was on vacation in Turin.

After spending two days reminiscing with Pintus and visiting Turin, and revising and adjusting the original special training plan, Li Ang returned to London.

He almost lived in the training base for the next week, specializing in strength and shooting skills.

A week later, Li Ang's strength value increased a little with difficulty, reaching the peak of the current strength talent value, which is an ability value of 87.

In terms of archery, Li Ang has not made much progress. Even if his archery ability is still relatively low, it stands to reason that it will improve faster.

But after a week of special training, his shooting skills only increased from 74 ability points to 75 ability points.

It seems that this ability still needs to be used more in the game, and the more attempts will lead to faster breakthrough progress.

No matter how much you practice, when encountering a strong confrontation or unexpected situation in a game, it is still very difficult to make a threatening and accurate shot in front of the goal.

This made Li Ang's sense of urgency increase even more.

Although in the previous Premier League, Li Ang scored a lot of goals, and it can even be said that he far exceeded his own expectations.

But Li Ang also knows in his heart that he still reaps the benefits that other Premier League defensive players are not very familiar with him.

The better his performance in the past, the more detailed and thorough the coaches of other teams will study him during the league break during international matches.

For example, his threatening long-range shots and the dribbling skills he has shown recently.

It turns out that the defenders and defensive midfielders in the Premier League don't know his shooting range, shooting habits, and his usual way of surpassing others.

So if you suddenly face him, you will inevitably suffer losses two or three times in a game.

But after fighting, or after watching others fight against him.

With a response plan and repeated review of game videos, the coaching staff of each team will also make corresponding tactical measures for him.

This situation is not only common in the Premier League, but also in other leagues.

So fans will see something like this every season:

In the first half of the season, a certain young player suddenly emerged with good performance.

The team has a good record, the fans support it strongly, and the media also praises and promotes it vigorously, as if the next star of tomorrow is already rising.

But as the game progresses, it reaches the second half of the league, or even the middle of the league, which is earlier in time.

These young players who performed well in the past suddenly failed to perform well.

If fans observe carefully, they will find that it is not that these young players have become weaker, or that the opponents they face have collectively become stronger.

Instead, each team has targeted defensive pressure on these young players who suddenly become popular.

Forcing you to use your non-dominant foot, double-teaming, confronting, compressing your dribbling space...

After this defensive package is put together, most young players will fall into a cycle of low performance.

Li Ang is very familiar with this situation, and he is naturally very confident in his own strength.

But he was also mentally prepared early on to be targeted defensively by various Premier League teams after the international break.

This was not a difficult matter for him.

After all, if others block his shooting space or double-team him, he can also distribute the ball to help his teammates get more offensive opportunities.

But the sense of crisis in his own heart is always urging him to improve his arsenal as soon as possible.

It doesn't matter if you take your time to train slowly, or if the results are slow, as long as you can see continued progress.

If I can't get enough of this season, I'll work even harder in the offseason!

When his shooting and passing abilities reach double 80, others will have to expend more energy if they want to defend him.

After the special training, Li Ang lay on the grass at the Cobham training base and clicked on the ability attribute panel in the system.

Looking at the current ability value of over 85, and then thinking about his poor offensive attributes at the beginning, Li Ang felt quite satisfied!

…

After taking a final look at the very unsociable shooting skills and passing abilities, Li Ang turned off the system panel and walked leisurely towards the physiotherapy area.

The next morning, Chelsea's first-team players returned to the base to report after finishing the national team's friendly match.

In the next round of the Premier League, Chelsea's opponent is West Ham United, also located in the London region.

Well, another London derby.

Even if the current Hammers are only one point above the relegation zone, Mourinho does not despise them at all.

As we all know, West Ham United are not generally recognized as the dirtiest team in the Premier League at the end of each season.

But they appear almost every season on the lists of the dirtiest Premier League teams selected by various media, and their rankings are not low.

Fans of the Hammers will naturally label the team's style with nicer words such as iron-blooded and tough.

But in the eyes of other victimized Premier League teams, the Hammers were really desperate and dirty when they played at home!

At the end of last season, The Sun conducted a selection of the dirtiest teams and dirtiest players in the Premier League.

West Ham United was ranked second among the dirtiest teams in the Premier League at the time.

The first is the Sky City Stoke City. They received 485 foul calls and 78 yellow cards throughout the season.

West Ham United's two season statistics are 470 fouls and 74 yellow cards respectively!

In the first eleven rounds of the league this season, West Ham United only achieved two wins, four draws and five losses, of which West Ham United won two wins and two draws at home.

Therefore, Mourinho has to pay attention to the next round of away game against West Ham United.

Tactical arrangements are one aspect, but how to prevent your players from suffering on the court and protect their players' health is another issue...

On November 23rd, Chelsea visited Upton Park to challenge Hammers West Ham United in the evening.

This nominal London derby did not attract much media attention before the game.

Because Chelsea's current performance is too good and West Ham United's league ranking is too low, it is difficult to attract fans' interest in the suspense of the game.

In contrast, the strong dialogue between Manchester City and Tottenham that started at the same time is the focus of the British media.

But less than 45 minutes after the game at Upton Park officially started, the attention of the British media was attracted by Chelsea and West Ham United.

What attracts their attention is not how exciting the games played by Chelsea and West Ham United are.

It was because before half the game was played, players from Chelsea and West Ham United received 6 yellow cards!

A team receives three yellow cards, which is a very balanced number of cards.

The fiery pace of this game and the tension between the players of the two teams are also evident.

When the game entered the halftime period, Li Ang and West Ham United's midfielder Noble exchanged insults in the tunnel!

The reason is that Noble used a very fierce side tackle in the first half, which made De Bruyne lie on the turf for a full two minutes!

And Li Ang used a similar method three minutes later to make Noble lie on the turf in pain for two minutes!

Noble and West Ham United players accused Ang of deliberately retaliating.

But not only did Li Ang not defend himself, he also threatened Noble if he dared to foul other Chelsea players again. He would make Noble pay the price he deserved today!

Originally, Li Ang wanted to make harsh words to make Noble break his leg, but for the sake of the club's reputation, Li Ang finally changed his mind.

The originally arrogant West Ham United generals saw that the ferocity in Li Ang's eyes did not seem to be fake, and they immediately did not dare to continue teasing this angry lion.

After all, Noble was almost shoveled away by Li Ang on the court before, and the scene of him screaming and rolling on the ground is still vivid in his mind.

He already showed off his studs, and the referee just gave Li Ang a yellow card, and also reprimanded other West Ham United players to warn them not to cause trouble!

This whistle was so biased that the West Ham United players once wondered if this was still their home court.

In the past, Li Ang decisively retaliated for the foul, and later, Terry choked West Ham United forward Nolan.

As soon as Chelsea's two evil villains took action, all the players on the West Ham United field restrained their actions.

Of course, Mourinho could not directly express his views on this, but he did not reprimand Leon and Terry in the locker room. Instead, he just lightly asked them to be careful not to get injured.

This attitude actually says it all.

In the second half of the game, the Chelsea team, which faced off against West Ham United with hard work, was full of momentum!

When facing a team that seems to be tougher than them, does not shy away from lethal foul tactics, and seems to have official favoritism.

West Ham suddenly went soft.

In the 68th minute of the second half, when Li Ang knocked over Noble and scored with a header in the West Ham United penalty area.

He ran to the corner flag area very arrogantly and put one hand behind his ear as if listening!

The Upton Park stadium immediately erupted in loud boos!

Because the direction in which Li Ang was aiming his celebration was the South Stand where die-hard West Ham United fans gathered!

This is a naked provocation!

But Li Ang didn't care at all.

He only remembered that when De Bruyne was tackled earlier, the West Ham fans booed and laughed mockingly!

He was very unhappy, and he didn't expect these fans to apologize to De Bruyne, so he wanted to take revenge personally!

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit!

If you can't defeat us, then you will have to endure it in the face of retaliation and provocation!

The boos at the scene seemed to be louder, but the smile on Li Ang's face was also stronger.

This is him, the most real him.

Vengeance must be avenged, and avenge it on the spot!
