Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

Chapter 219: Well done to the youth army, let me know how good you are [Please subscribe, guys! 】

Lukaku, who scored another goal in the Champions League, can now be regarded as a super star with a rising reputation across Europe.

Regardless of whether the opponent's hard power is strong or weak, Lukaku can score three goals in the five rounds of the Champions League group stage as a rotation.

Then he is definitely the "star of tomorrow" in European football!

Although Lukaku's position is a little blurry now, that doesn't matter.

On the contrary, his ability to play both sides and hit the ball is quite in line with the requirements of modern football for forwards.

Just like Morata who shined across Europe last season.

Temporary technical flaws do not become shortcomings on them.

After all, in the media’s exaggerated propaganda, there is no detailed and professional analysis of their technical flaws.

With the blessing of age and data, many fans with impressions will quickly create a perfect image of a new star with overflowing talents and outstanding talents in their minds.

This is indeed the case for the two people's star development in the original timeline.

For many fans who have not watched their game performance carefully, the blessing of data is very important.

Therefore, even though the two of them have not actually achieved the corresponding worth, they have become super popular in the transfer market with a worth of nearly 100 million.

However, Morata and Lukaku are obviously more fortunate now that their development lines have been changed by the "butterfly" Li Ang.

First up is Morata.

Under Mourinho's entrustment, even if he left the team, Zidane, who had previously served as the technical director of Real Madrid's first team and now officially became the assistant coach of Real Madrid's first team, urged him to improve his technical flaws in shooting.

Compared with when he officially entered the Real Madrid first team, Morata's shooting skills now, at least with his right foot, are much better.

If he continues to grow normally, even if he cannot compete with Benzema in the future, he will not be able to play as the starting center in the Real Madrid first team.

The released Morata will also develop better than himself in the original timeline.

After all, his improved shooting skills and extra game experience have become valuable assets in his career.

A few days ago, Liang said to Lukaku that Morata still has inverse feet, and he was more of a joke on his Castilla brother.

And speaking of Lukaku, this kid is even more lucky now.

Not only did he encounter the more patient and tolerant Mourinho, but also Li Ang took him to do targeted technical strengthening training.

There is no need to forcefully gain weight and lose his body's flexibility and speed, and his future development prospects in football will naturally be broad.

Now being watched by Li Ang doing detailed and tedious technical adjustment training every day, Lukaku is a little tired.

But after three or five years, he will only be grateful that Li Ang is willing to spend time and patience today, allowing him to grow more when he was young.

It was Li Ang and Mourinho who jointly required him to use his right foot more to complete shots in every day's training confrontations. This made Lukaku cry without tears.

But as the training time of a small week passed, the results were also seen.

At least now when Lukaku uses his right foot to push the ball, there will no longer be uneven power, causing the football to be shot directly and incorrectly.

This kind of progress is actually relatively slow, but the Chelsea coaching staff does not have high requirements for Lukaku.

This season, first ensure that you can stably hit the goal frame with your back-foot shot in the penalty area, without any requirements on strength or accuracy.

Let him practice shooting accuracy with his right foot until next season.

After all, Lukaku is also young. After growing up step by step, after the age of 23, it will be enough to develop your right foot to the point where you can reliably shoot in the penalty area.

After a full week of rest, Chelsea's main players also faced the challenge of the 13th round of the Premier League.

In this round of the league, Chelsea will sit at Stamford Bridge at home and fight Southampton, currently ranked fourth in the Premier League.

This game can also be regarded as the most watched strong dialogue in the thirteenth round of the Premier League.

According to common sense, the game between Tottenham and Manchester United should be more popular.

Unfortunately, Manchester United is currently ranked ninth in the Premier League, and Tottenham have also dropped from the top four in the Premier League at the beginning of the season to fifth in the Premier League.

This match between ninth and fifth in the Premier League is incomparable to the battle between the top four teams.

And speaking of which, Southampton's current fourth-place ranking in the Premier League is really not very impressive.

Winning consecutive games against Liverpool and Manchester United, the last round of the league also saw a tenacious draw with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

Even excluding Manchester United, Southampton has currently faced off against two of the top six teams in the Premier League, and still has the upper hand.

The Southampton youth team led by Pochettino has amazed countless Premier League fans!

Southampton, which holds high the banner of offensive football and has the youngest average player age in the Premier League, is full of momentum.

However, at the press conference before the game, Southampton's young coach Pochettino expressed humility.

Now they are not so much Chelsea's competitors as they are a young challenger.

"I have a good relationship with Jose, we have played against each other many times in La Liga and I have learned a lot from him.

Of course, I have not led a team to win against him so far.

Tomorrow's game will certainly be difficult, so we must be mentally prepared. Playing against the top teams is always exciting.

No matter what, we are all young challengers and hope to bring a wonderful match to more fans tomorrow..."

Pochettino's high-EQ speech made this game - at least before the game - not full of gunpowder.

Mourinho also has high praise for Pochettino, an "old acquaintance" from his time in La Liga.

This isn’t Mourinho saying good things because of Pochettino’s respect for him.

After completing the first two games in La Liga, Mourinho was very optimistic about Pochettino, who was coaching Espanyol at the time.

After all, without two brushes, Pochettino, who was not yet 40 years old at the time, would not have been able to lead the Spaniards, who had not invested much, to rank eighth in La Liga at the end of the 2010-11 season.

So what Mourinho said before the game was true.

He is indeed optimistic about Pochettino, and he does regard Southampton as Chelsea's first-tier opponent in the league.

On the day of the game, when the starting lineups of both teams were announced.

After receiving the news, Mourinho and Pochettino smiled knowingly when they saw their opponents' starting arrangements.

The same 4231 starting lineup, the same advocating balance of offense and defense.

Both of them also made accurate tactical predictions about each other before the game.

However, with the same starting lineup of 4231, Chelsea seems to be a more defensive side, while Southampton is more focused on offense.

On the evening of December 1st, fans in China were more comfortable watching the two early Premier League games that started at 8pm and 10pm China time.

The 2-2 handshake between Tottenham and Manchester United was not very exciting, but Hull City's 3-1 upset victory over Liverpool was more exciting.

However, after eating two Premier League "appetizers", what domestic fans are most looking forward to is of course the Premier League focus game between Chelsea and Southampton, which will start at 0:10 on December 2.

This viewing time is not as good as 8pm or 10pm, but compared with the start times of Serie A, La Liga and the Champions League, it is already very friendly to Chinese fans.

Sina Sports also specially invited General Fan to partner with Zhan Jun today to explain this powerful dialogue in the Premier League.

This is the second time that General Fan has been a guest on Sina Sports to commentate on Chelsea games this season. After the live broadcast started, he started chatting with Zhan Jun in a familiar manner.

When it comes to celebrities in China who pay more attention to and know more about Premier League matches, General Fan is definitely one of the best.

At the beginning of today's live broadcast, General Fan focused on the fact that he almost joined Liverpool.

So it didn't take long for General Fan to talk about Liverpool's upset defeat just now.

Naturally, Zhan Jun could only helplessly shake his head and smile bitterly, and General Fan, who had succeeded in his whole life, quickly changed the topic, making countless domestic fans in front of their computers and mobile phones extremely happy.

At this moment, the live broadcast screen happened to be the time point when the players of the two teams lined up with the referee on the field.

So Zhan Jun quickly took over the conversation, and as the player list appeared on the live broadcast screen, he introduced the starting situation of the two teams today.

"Chelsea was at home today and put in their usual starting formation of 4231.

Starting goalkeeper Cech.

The defense consisted of Bertrand, Terry, David Luiz and Azpilicueta.

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

Ibrahimovic stepped forward and became the starting center. "

“Southampton also adopted a starting formation of 4231.

The starting goalkeeper is Poland national goalkeeper Boruc.

The starting players on the defense are Luke Shaw, Dejan Lovren, José Fonte and Chambers.

In the midfield, Snedlin and Wanyama partnered as a defensive midfielder, Lallana served as the attacking midfielder, and Jay Rodriguez and Ward-Prowse lined up on both sides of Lallana.

Osvaldo serves as the starting center. "

“Compared with previous league games, both teams have made adjustments to their starting personnel in the frontcourt today.

Chelsea used Ramirez to replace De Bruyne, who is not yet fully recovered from injury, while Southampton used Osvaldo to replace the previous starting center Lambert. "

"Yes, although there were rumors in the media before the game that De Bruyne had begun to resume training with the team, for the sake of safety, Mourinho still did not bring him with him in this game.

Maybe Osvaldo's start is because Lambert's previous thigh muscle strain has not yet healed?

Otherwise, with Osvaldo in his current state, there is no reason for Pochettino to continue to use him in the starting lineup..."

Following the exchange and analysis between the two, the referee on duty held his watch and soon blew the whistle to start the game on time!

Chelsea, who won the right to kick off, slowly spread out their formation and pressed towards Southampton under the command of Li Ang's gesture after taking possession of the ball.

Li Ang looked at the familiar faces across the street who were still a little immature, and he didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed about bullying these young players.

During the offensive process with the ball, he directly used his physical fitness to run over Lallana first, and then quickly distributed the ball to his left front under Wanyama's defensive pressure.

Chelsea's opening attack was still led by Hazard.

However, Southampton seemed to have expected it. Ward-Prowse, who actively retreated, combined with Chambers, carried out a resolute double-team defense on Hazard.

Hazard, who failed to take the ball out in a hurry, lost the ball, but Chelsea did not panic in the face of Southampton's quick counterattack.

After Wanyama received the ball and made a diagonal transfer, Luke Shaw, who stopped the ball, faced Azpilicueta, who had already been eyeing him.

Luke Shaw, who was a newborn calf and had performed well in the previous ten Premier League games, very bravely and decisively chose to break through!

But Azpilicueta used a solid head-on confrontation to teach the young Luke Shaw a lesson.

In the first offensive and defensive contest at the beginning of the game, both teams had already experienced the full tactical preparation of their opponents.

Pochettino looked at the two young full-backs who started Chelsea's game today, and turned thoughtfully to Mourinho, who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai next door.

At present, Southampton's offensive attack on both wings does not rest on the two full-backs, but on the two young full-backs.

Luke Shaw and Chambers, who possess excellent technique and propulsive ability, are currently Southampton's killer weapons on both wings of the attack.

The wide midfielders who are adducted in front give them a forward position to provide tactical cover.

There are two defensive midfielders to wipe their butts for them and consolidate the wing defense.

Without too much pressure to return to defense, these two young full-backs often only need to calmly advance down the field after the opponent's full-back is taken away by their own full-back, and then send threatening passes.

Southampton has also relied on this offensive model to successfully succeed in previous Premier League games.

But now it seems that Mourinho has studied their offensive tactics very thoroughly.

And Chelsea also has enough individual defense forces to cope with Southampton's wolf-pack tactics.

Southampton's two full-backs are naturally solved by Matic and Lampard.

Not to mention Lallana. With Li Ang actively returning to defense in the opening stage, Lallana, who is facing him, should not think about having too much room to play.

Mourinho started today with younger Bertrand and Azpilicueta instead of Ashley Cole and Ivanovic.

Just to hold down the forward attack of Southampton's two young full-backs from point to point!

This is a set of interlocking defensive arrangements.

Mourinho even sacrificed a certain amount of possession and initiative at the beginning of the game to curb Southampton's best forward play from the wing.

Now Pochettino had to believe that everything Mourinho said before the game was true.

Seeing Luke Shaw, who had been forced back by Azpilicueta's pressing defense twice in a row, Pochettino subconsciously squeezed his knuckles hard.

In the stadium at this moment, after Li Ang received Azpilicueta's cross pass, he once again broke away from Lallana's defensive interference and immediately moved forward to the midline!

Luke Xiao, who had failed in the previous attack, quickly moved in and ran towards Li Ang.

But just as he used his speed advantage to gradually catch up to Li Ang's side, and after he collided with Li Ang forcefully, the one who was ejected turned out to be himself!

Seeing this, Snedlin could no longer care about the other Chelsea offensive players. He could only grit his teeth and abandon his defense zone, pressing towards Li Ang aggressively!

What Li Ang was waiting for was the moment when Schneiderlin lost his defensive position!

Schneiderlin had just taken two steps when Li Ang sent an overhead diagonal ball directly to Ramirez, who was pulling up and down.

At this moment, Ibrahimovic has completed his forward thrust. Ramirez did not hesitate and decisively passed the ball to the front of Southampton's penalty area!

Lovren and Font double-teamed Ibrahimovic, causing chaos in the Nampton penalty area!

But in the end, Ibrahimovic took advantage of his long legs to complete the stab first!

Poland national goalkeeper Boruc is very focused at the moment.

He quickly got down to the ground and stretched out his feet, barely blocking Ibrahimovic's shot!

The fans at Stamford Bridge were in shock!

After Li Ang waved his hand with a pity, he also actively inserted into Southampton's penalty area to prepare for this corner kick opportunity.

His excitement and eagerness to try made Southampton's young talents such as Lallana, Luke Shaw and Chambers have lingering fears.

This made them involuntarily think of a legend about Li Ang that had been circulating in the football world.

"Li Ang likes to play against those so-called young talents in football and test their quality.

Nowadays, it is difficult for any of the new stars in football to perform well against Li Ang.

If you don’t believe me, take a look at the video of the game between Leon and Isco, Griezmann, and Gotze..."

Thinking of this, Lallana and Luke Shaw couldn't help but have bad thoughts in their minds.

Today is their turn to be tested?
