Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

Chapter 221 13+10, season double ten achieved! [Big guys please subscribe! 】

Li Ang's bold "war" speech was like a depth bomb, directly blowing up the football public opinion in England and Germany.

Because Li Ang's too-open mouth really couldn't make the fans and media ignore it.

Of course he was mostly joking.

But Chelsea fans felt chilled after seeing this report.

Then they all went to Li Ang's social media to speak, sending out emoticons with folded hands, begging him to stop saying things like wanting to touch Bayern.

The Bayern fans were also panicked.

Because now they are still fiercely competing with Manchester City for the right to qualify for the top spot in Group D of the Champions League.

The two teams currently have a record of 4 wins and 1 loss in the first 5 rounds, so in the final round, the head-to-head match between the two teams, whoever wins will qualify first in the group.

As for Chelsea, who has firmly ranked first in the group and qualified, if they want to meet Bayern in the first round of the Champions League knockout rounds, there is naturally only one possibility.

In the next round of the Champions League group stage, Bayern Munich lost to Manchester City at home and fell to second place in Group D of the Champions League!

Bayern fans, who were not very confident about winning the next round of the Champions League group stage, now became anxious when they saw the report of Li Ang's speech.

"Shut him up! God, he is cursing Bayern Munich!"

"It's over, it's over... Li Ang is using his magic! Our next round may be really bad!"

"Okay, don't scare yourselves! He just said casually, whether we can win or not depends mainly on our own performance."

"So what next? If you touch Chelsea, touch Chelsea. I just want to see the team defeat Mourinho and Li Ang head-on!"

…

When the public opinion that continues to ferment abroad is carried by China's domestic big hands to major sports forums.

A large number of domestic fans were immediately happy.

And Li Ang soon experienced the power of his mouth in London.

When he reported to the training base the next morning, he was uniformly "dissuaded" by his teammates.

It was almost the same as when he was at Real Madrid and said he wanted to play against a strong team in the first round of the knockout round, and the treatment he received from the team was exactly the same.

"No, I was just kidding, really just a joke. Of course I also want to meet a tough team in the first round of the knockout round.

But I can’t say I want to play Olympiacos or Zenit, right? That would be too unimpressive! "

Li Ang's explanation was only met with doubtful looks from his teammates.

But before he could resist, the entire Chelsea team unanimously decided to ban him from accepting such interviews until the end of the Champions League knockout draw!

In the end, Li Ang, who couldn't laugh or cry, could only promise repeatedly that he would not "talk nonsense" again.

"But now that Li Ang has let the word out, if Bayern really loses to Manchester City and falls to second place in the group, and is drawn by us again..."

Hazard, who was scratching his head, told the worst-case scenario, but before he could finish his words, David Luiz and Terry on the side directly covered his mouth.

After laughing for a while, the Chelsea generals were divided into groups to receive physical examinations and enter the physiotherapy area to receive massages after assistant coach Mr. Holland came to remind them.

There was no training session this morning. After completing their physical examination and physical therapy, the players basically arranged their own time.

Whether they go into the weight room to warm up or rest for a while is up to them.

Li Ang and Ibrahimovic first did balance exercises in the weight room for half an hour.

Feeling that he still had plenty of energy, he then went to bang the iron for more than an hour. The sound made Hazard and Bertrand who were passing by speed up their pace a lot.

After all, the last time Lukaku just passed by and said hello, he was caught by Li Ang and taken to the weight room to train for an hour.

Hazard felt that his small body would definitely not be able to withstand Li Ang's high-intensity training, so it would be wise to run first!

After hearing Holland's analysis of the players' physical condition by the team medical team, Mourinho nodded with satisfaction.

The battle against Southampton was quite tiring, and the rest time this time is only three days. On December 4th, they will go to the away game to challenge the Black Cats Sunderland.

If too many main veterans have physical problems at this time, Mourinho will have to arrange large-scale rotations.

Fortunately, after adequate rest, the veterans in the team are still in good condition, even if they struggled a little fiercely in the last round.

Mourinho thought for a while and finally excluded Terry and Lampard from starting the next round of the league.

Then he asked Holander to help him call Li Ang into the office.

When Li Ang came in with a curious face, Mourinho put on his familiar smiling face again.

"...Thank you for your hard work, little lion... In the next round, you have to run more in the midfield to help your young teammates hold up the scene. Those who can do it should work harder. If there is an opportunity later, I will definitely let you do more." Take turns, take turns…”

Listening to this familiar set of painting quotations, Li Ang was too lazy to complain about his boss.

What if you change your words? To put it another way, at least I have enough reasons to convince myself to believe it.

Perfunctory, really perfunctory!

However, Li Ang finally responded simply by patting his chest.

In the recent intensive schedule, Li Ang happened to have the opportunity to use physical potions, so his body must be able to withstand it.

Another thing is that his total third-line statistics have now reached 13 goals and 9 assists.

He is only one assist away from reaching his previous goal of double-ten figures at half-way through the season!

Even Li Ang, who always puts team victory first, will inevitably get a little emotional when faced with the temptation of achieving such data!

Because in the current four major leagues, including Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, no player is closer than him to achieving double-ten statistics of the season so early!

When he first made up his mind to leave Real Madrid, facing the confusion and dissuasion of many fans, Li Ang didn't say anything.

He had always kept his ambition and pursuit in his heart, and it was only during the showdown with Lafayette that he spoke it outright.

Faced with doubts from public opinion, Li Ang knows that words are always pale.

Only the honors and data he achieved after leaving the team are his most powerful vocal weapons!

Being the first to achieve this Double Ten data is a good start.

Yes, until now, Li Ang thought that he was on the same track as the top players in football and began his pursuit!

This total number of goals is nothing to Messi and Ronaldo.

But it is Li Ang's first step to prove it.

He will slowly prove step by step that he has the ability to lead a team to compete with the best players and best teams in today's football!

From the season’s Double Ten to the season’s Double Twenty, to the league’s Double Twenty…

Li Ang has extremely strict requirements on himself and has extremely clear plans for the future.

If you can't reach your goal this season, then you will continue to work hard next season.

As for the league championship, the domestic cup championship, and the Champions League, Li Ang's goals are also very clear.

The road must be walked step by step, and the goals must be achieved one by one.

With the passion in his heart, Li Ang and Mourinho chatted for a while about the recent performance goals, and then left Mourinho's office with satisfaction.

Seeing that Li Ang still maintains a high fighting spirit and tireless ambition to pursue victory, Mourinho is relieved to make adjustments to the starting lineup for the next round of the league.

On December 4, Chelsea, under the leadership of Mourinho, traveled to the northeast of England to challenge the Black Cats Sunderland.

After entering December, the average daily temperature in Sunderland also dropped to about 10℃.

Because the game will start at 19:45 in the evening, the temperature will be lower by then.

The entire Chelsea team took about ten minutes longer than usual to warm up before the game.

Although it is not necessary to wear gloves to play football, Chelsea players have already put on warm tight sports linings inside their jerseys.

Less than 10 minutes after the game started that night, Mourinho felt very lucky when the drizzle fell in the Stadium of Light.

To be on the safe side, he asked all the players to warm up for an extra ten minutes today. Now it seems that the extra ten minutes to warm up is very important.

The temperature was already low, and it started to rain lightly. The slipperiness in the stadium immediately made the Chelsea players who were aggressively attacking feel very uncomfortable.

Although the sufficient warm-up before the game allowed them to not fall behind in the confrontation with Sunderland at this moment.

However, the technical advantages could not be demonstrated well due to weather conditions.

Between the 10th and 20th minutes of the first half, Hazard failed to complete two acceleration changes and instead slipped.

In contrast, Sunderland used a simpler long pass and lob tactics to defeat Chelsea's counterattack, and achieved a very good threatening effect.

Sunderland used their strong black center Altidore as the fulcrum of the counterattack, distributing the ball to the midfielders who came in behind to build a fort.

By counterattacking long shots, Sunderland got a lot of corner kick opportunities, and they almost scored Chelsea's goal several times in these corner kick opportunities!

Such a situation made Mourinho, who was in a good mood before, suddenly become serious.

Because Terry was not selected for the starting lineup today, Chelsea's high-altitude defensive ability in the penalty area will inevitably decline.

Although Gary Cahill and David Luiz are also good headers.

But neither of them can compare with a central defender like Terry who is dominant in the penalty area.

And today David Luiz seems to have made the old habit of making advances again.

This is an opportunity for Sunderland to seize Chelsea's rotation!

The situation is slightly passive, but it is far from requiring substitutions and adjustments to reverse it.

Mourinho watched as Sunderland won another corner and shouted for David Luiz to listen to Gary Cahill's defensive instructions.

Even if the Brazilian central defender is a little more conservative, he and Gary Cahill are enough to limit Sunderland's high-altitude attacker.

Upon seeing this, Li Ang simply withdrew into the penalty area, pulling David Luiz and him to stand in the middle of the penalty area.

Ivanovic and Matic are defending at the front, he and David Luiz are in the middle, and Gary Cahill and Ibrahimovic are at the back.

With this kind of personnel configuration to prevent high-altitude balls, Li Ang didn't believe it today. Sunderland could really hit the ball on their heads and into the goal!

In a tense offensive and defensive arrangement, Li Ang listened to Cech's instructions and held on to Sunderland defender O'Shea.

The struggle between the two made it difficult for them to take off when the football flew towards the penalty area.

However, the football did not fall directly in the middle of the penalty area, but flew straight to the back of the penalty area!

Altidore and Gary Cahill took off almost at the same time!

Their heads touched the football almost at the same time!

But I don’t know if Gary Cahill’s power is more sufficient.

The ball finally flew outside Chelsea's penalty area amid the screams of the Sunderland fans.

Mourinho let out a sigh of relief in his chest.

But the next second, when he saw Sunderland defender Bardsley standing outside the penalty area, Mourinho's heart was high again!

"Block his shot!"

Li Ang vaguely heard Mourinho's anxious shouts from the sidelines, but he was dragged into the penalty area by O'Shea at the moment, and he was unable to rush outside the penalty area immediately!

Cech lost the possibility of judging the path of the ball because of the numerous figures in front of him.

The Czech national goalkeeper, whose sight was blocked, was still yelling at his teammates to disperse.

As a result, a football that penetrated the attacking and defensive crowd quickly passed through his defensive range and plunged into the goal behind him!

"damn it!"

Mourinho, who saw the football entering the net with his own eyes, cursed angrily!

He wasn't scolding his own players, he was scolding the unlucky weather and luck!

Li Ang patted his forehead and shook his head.

Chelsea’s defensive players can’t be blamed for this goal.

After all, no one knows which direction Gary Cahill's ball will eventually drift.

Chelsea already had six or seven defensive personnel in the penalty area. Ramirez and Bertrand stood on both sides of the top of the penalty area.

As a result, the ball didn't land at the top of the penalty area, but directly and erratically fell to the left edge of Chelsea's penalty area!

The opponent was also lucky. He hit the ball without stopping and penetrated the dense crowd in the penalty area!

We can only blame Lady Luck for favoring Sunderland today.

When the entire Stadium of Light was celebrating, Li Ang grabbed Van Ginkel.

"Marco! Marco! Go forward and play as a central midfielder! Organize and distribute the ball. Don't panic. Just try to defend as much as possible. Do you understand?"

Hearing Li Ang's explanation, Fan Ginkel was stunned for a moment, and then nodded subconsciously.

He knows that Li Ang has enough tactical freedom on the court, including flexible positioning options.

Since Li Ang is going to retreat to play as a defensive midfielder, Van Ginkel will naturally choose to trust Li Ang unconditionally.

After all, even if Mourinho wants to blame later, he will not take the blame. In terms of responsibility, other players in the Chelsea team trust Li Ang very much.

"Let's defend first, brothers! They like to play this kind of set-piece tactics, so we will try to expand the defense zone and not give them the opportunity to easily take long shots..."

Li Ang raised his voice and made simple defensive tactical adjustments to his teammates while applauding.

After the game restarted, Sunderland's counterattack wolves faced the defensive duo of Li Ang and Matic.

Their previous routine of fast advancement and quick shooting to win set pieces suddenly had no use!

Because Leon is not a young Van Ginkel.

His wide-area sweeping sweeps and decisive pressing and interceptions quickly stifled Sunderland's counterattack momentum outside his own defensive third zone!

With Matic behind him, Li Ang's sweep and interception can be described as very fast!

Occasionally, offensive players he missed would be ruthlessly blocked by Matic.

The Sunderland fans who were lucky enough to witness the performance of Chelsea's strongest defensive duo gradually stopped cheering.

What was replaced was a suffocating feeling of being pressed by the defense.

They couldn't beat the counterattack, and on the defensive end Sunderland, who had originally contracted their formation to take a beating, had no choice but to stick to one path.

But just before Sunderland head coach Di Canio made up his mind to make tactical adjustments, Li Ang suddenly stepped in from the backcourt and dribbled the ball forward!

This sudden change made Di Canio quickly change his mind.

"Double-team him! Double-team Li Ang and push him back!"

Di Canio yelled on the sidelines and asked his defensive players to double-team Li Ang directly.

He believes that Chelsea's core is also anxious at the moment.

If Li Ang no longer defends honestly in the future, but frequently dribbles the ball forward, then Sunderland can still double-team Li Ang to seize the ball and continue to counterattack!

By then, both Li Ang and Van Ginkel will be in the Sunderland half, with only Matic trailing behind. Sunderland may have a chance to expand the score in the first half!

Di Canio's wishful thinking was good, but Li Ang refused to give Sunderland the chance to double-team him easily.

After a simple and neat one-two with Van Ginkel.

Before Li Ang took advantage of Ji Chengyong and Kolbak to complete the encirclement on him, he quickly kicked the football forward to Ibrahimovic who retreated to meet him!

Li Ang then moved to the right, and Ki Sung-yong stayed close to his side.

And Ibrahimovic also had a tacit understanding and did not pass the ball directly to Li Ang, but passed the ball to Hazard, who was running in the opposite direction with Li Ang!

Chelsea's frontcourt attacking trio passed the ball with two feet and successfully involved Sunderland's defense deployment!

Ibrahimovic has to move forward quickly to meet the cross that Hazard may send at any time.

Seeing this, Ki Sung-yong had no choice but to defend against Li Ang. After all, he was the midfielder trailing behind Sunderland's entire center line.

Compared with Li Ang's threat, Ibrahimovic, who has plunged into Sunderland's penalty area at this moment, is obviously the one who needs his attention more!

Hazard learned from the previous lesson of slipping his feet and used his skills to dribble and change direction in the rib area of ​​Sunderland's half.

It seemed a little delayed, but after steadily controlling the ball, Hazard turned his back and handed the ball to Van Ginkel who came up.

Xiao Fan didn't dare to be greedy for credit at this moment. Seeing Li Ang waving, he kicked the ball directly from the center to the right side of Li Ang's half.

The football rolling close to the turf immediately became the target of all the players in the area!

Li Ang naturally took the lead in running towards the football to greet him.

Coleback and Giaccherini, who retreated inwards, immediately ran towards the football with Li Ang!

Even if they can't grab the ball, the two of them don't want Li Ang to have room to turn around with the ball.

What the two of them didn't expect at all was that Li Ang completed the pass the moment he faced the football and touched the ball!

When the football rolled towards the front of Sunderland's penalty area, Li Ang completed a flexible turn almost at the same time!

Without the ball, he quickly broke through the double-teams of Coleback and Giaccherini and moved forward at full speed!

And just now, Hazard, who had a tacit understanding of moving from the wing to the center, happened to be in the path of Li Ang's pass.

However, he did not stick to the ball as usual, but like Li Ang, he completed the horizontal distribution the moment he touched the ball!

This shot gave a slight advance, and of course it was passed back to Li Ang again!

And Li Ang, who had thrown away the two Sunderland defenders, was like a bullet at this moment, ruthlessly penetrating Sunderland's midfield defense!

Li Ang, who gave up on the idea of ​​technical dribbling, stopped the ball and headed towards Sunderland's penalty area with the ball!

The excitement of facing the Sunderland defenders made Li Ang's heart start to beat wildly at this moment!

But he had no intention of slowing down at all. After rushing into Sunderland's penalty area, he held back his energy and just broke through the personal defense of Sunderland left back Bardsley!

After all, he was in his own penalty area. No matter how courageous Bardsley was, he would not dare to make any big defensive move against Li Ang in the open.

Otherwise, if Li Ang falls, Chelsea will most likely get a penalty kick!

Li Ang's thinking at the moment is also very simple. Why does he need any complicated offensive routines?

As he burst through Sunderland's midfield defence, he had only one goal in mind.

Rush into Sunderland's penalty area, get down, and then look for opportunities to hit the goal yourself or pass the ball!

After seeing O'Shea put down Ibrahimovic and rush to defend him, Li Ang quickly gave up the idea of ​​forcing a goal.

While running, Li Ang's ankle shook lightly and he quickly lifted the football over O'Shea's head and towards the middle of the penalty area where Ibrahimovic was!

Faced with Li Ang's slightly rounded pass, Ibrahimovic was not polite at all. He beat Wes Brown and completed a close-range header!

The older Wes Brown was almost forcibly knocked away by Ibrahimovic in the air!

Sunderland goalkeeper Mannone had nothing to do with this header!

His waving hands didn't look like he was completing a save, but rather like he was surrendering.

And when he saw Ibrahimovic finally tipping the ball into the Sunderland goal, Li Ang also burst into cheers from the bottom of his heart!

"It's done!"

The Sky Sports commentator also picked up the information he had prepared long ago and sent congratulations to Li Ang!

“The ball went in!!! The Milan brothers connected again to help Chelsea equalize the score!

This is Li Ang's eighth assist in the league! This is also his tenth assist this season!

With 13 goals and 10 assists, Li Ang became the first player in the four major leagues to achieve double 10 personal statistics this season!

Chelsea's all-around core deserves the title! "
