Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

Chapter 227: Buy two Mavericks at the beginning of the year, Mourinho is laying the foundation [poin

After the match between Chelsea and Swansea ended, the final match of the 18th round of the Premier League between Manchester City and Liverpool was also in full swing.

After Manchester City laughed and watched Chelsea and Arsenal fight in the last round of the league.

Now it's Arsenal and Chelsea's turn to watch Manchester City have fun.

Liverpool's team is not that easy to play. Although Liverpool's current record is not particularly good, it still beats Everton and ranks fourth in the Premier League.

And if it hadn't been for the fact that it had always failed against the mid- and lower-tier teams in the Premier League, Liverpool might still be ranked ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal.

Liverpool have not lost this fine tradition of robbing the rich and giving to the poor. Beating strong teams is exciting, but beating weak teams frightens their fans.

So don't look at the fact that Liverpool will challenge Manchester City, currently ranked second in the Premier League, away from home in this round.

But none of Liverpool's players or their fans are afraid.

This is indeed how the game progressed. Manchester City had the home advantage, but in the first 30 minutes of the first half, they were stunned by Liverpool's counterattack!

Suarez is really fierce when he reaches his peak.

With the ball, he can single out Manchester City's midfield and backfield defenses, and he is very sneaky when he moves without the ball.

With two young players, Coutinho and Sterling, Suarez also performed well on the offensive end!

That is to say, both Sturridge and Gerrard have been injured recently.

Otherwise, Suarez didn't need to take care of the children in the first half, and maybe he would have scored!

If not for the last moment of the first half, David Silva moved around in a small space and dribbled the ball into the Liverpool penalty area to assist Nasri to score.

This first half can be said to be Suarez's performance alone.

Suarez can't be blamed for Liverpool's failure to break the drought.

He sent Sterling a semi-threatening through ball, and also gave Coutinho the ball to create an opportunity for him to hit the rub shot he is good at at the top of the Manchester City penalty area.

However, both young players gave up their rare shooting opportunities.

In the live broadcast footage, Rogers stood on the sidelines jumping to his feet, lowering his head and cursing angrily, which made the neutral fans extremely happy.

Li Ang drove Ibrahimovic's car out of the stadium and turned on the live broadcast on his mobile phone on the way to a dinner party with his teammates. He happened to see Coutinho shooting and jerking off.

As a result, Coutinho wasted an excellent opportunity. Within three minutes, David Silva on the other side broke into Longtan alone to help Manchester City break the deadlock in the game.

Li Ang looked at some of the animations from before the game and felt that Sterling's performance today was eye-catching, and that Suarez was alone.

When the first half of the game was over, Li Ang turned off the live broadcast. He did not think that Liverpool, which was currently short of major generals, could overtake and defeat Manchester City.

At most it would be a draw at the Etihad Stadium, but that would be difficult.

However, from Chelsea's perspective, the best game is that Manchester City leads for most of the game, and Liverpool scores a tie goal at the last moment.

In this case, Manchester City can only get one point and will be further pulled away by Chelsea in the standings, while Liverpool also consumes a lot of physical energy.

For Chelsea, this scene is the best of both worlds~

However, Li Ang never expected that the result of the final game was not a deadlock of 1-0 or 1-1, but 3-3!

Manchester City and Liverpool scored a total of five goals in the second half of the game!

Among them, Aguero scored twice, and for Liverpool, Suarez directly shot two shots and passed the ball, successfully helping Liverpool equalize the score in stoppage time!

From 0-2 to 3-3, Liverpool staged a shocking counterattack performance.

Suarez also relied on this god-like performance to once again become the most talked about figure in the entire Premier League!

Another hot topic that rivals it is:

A large number of Premier League fans don't understand why Guardiola continues to attack after taking a two-goal lead instead of steadily counterattacking or controlling the field.

This is completely a waste of the three points obtained.

Li Ang heard what happened when he heard the cheers of his teammates during the dinner.

His first reaction was of course surprise.

Can you lead by two goals and be chased back by three goals?

For a top Premier League team like Manchester City, this is a serious tactical mistake that should not happen!

But then he thought, this is Guardiola's team, okay, then there is no problem.

Whether it's a wholesome thing or not, that's just from the fans' perspective.

Guardiola has such a tactical pursuit, and his tactical concepts have been constantly innovated and improved.

Otherwise, he would not be Guardiola.

What does a loss in one or two games mean to Guardiola?

He is a ruthless character who dares to conduct tactical experiments on the stage of the Champions League final.

"Manchester City gave him a chance, but Suarez really dared to seize such an opportunity. Why did this kid suddenly become so strong this season?

Although he was very strong last season, compared with this season, it is completely incomparable. "

“Isn’t he already famous once in the Netherlands for scoring goals?

He also played very well in the World Cup and the Copa America. I think it will come naturally. Once he adapts to the Premier League, he will be able to fully utilize his abilities. "

"Liverpool fought really hard this time. They will definitely have to rotate their players in the next round. We are taking advantage."

"It's hard to say whether it's a bargain or not. Suarez is in such a state that I feel a little unstable..."

Listening to the discussions among his teammates, Li Ang also felt that the outcome of playing Liverpool in the next round was really hard to say.

Compared with the team's hard power, Chelsea is definitely better than Liverpool now.

But I can't stand it. Liverpool has a top attacker with explosive skills.

In the next round, Suarez will score two more hat-tricks, and then it will be Mourinho who jumps on the sidelines.

Li Ang thought about it in his heart and thought that Mourinho was so angry on the sidelines that it was quite funny.

As a result, the next afternoon, all Chelsea players reported to the training base for recovery training.

Li Ang was once again called to Mourinho's office by Holland.

"I'm going to mark Suarez?"

After hearing Mourinho talk about his tactical arrangements for the next round of games, Li Ang was a little surprised.

“That guy has been in good shape since his suspension ended this season, and he is very flexible and has very good movement.

I think neither Nemanja (Matic) nor John (Terry) can fulfill the restrictions on him very well. After thinking about it, you are the only one who is most suitable. "

Mourinho expressed his opinion, and Li Ang thought about it carefully and felt that it was indeed the case.

Suarez can lead and shoot, and he is flexible without losing strength. The key is that he can move well without the ball. If Matic and Terry are to mark him, they may not be able to mark him.

Li Ang's final nod made Mourinho breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, today is different from the past. Li Ang is now also a superstar in the Premier League, and he is asked to do such dirty tactical work...

Although Mourinho knew that Li Ang would not refuse in all likelihood, it was precisely because of this that he felt a little embarrassed.

"Oh, you still understand me, little lion, don't worry! I will definitely find an opportunity later to let you experience the joy of unlimited fire rights..."

Li Ang: "..."

It doesn't matter whether it's glamorous or not, and it doesn't matter whether it has unlimited fire rights. Whether the game can be won or not is what matters most to Li Ang.

He doesn't mind if he can still do dirty tactical work in his current capacity.

No matter how glamorous your identity is and how beautiful your statistics are, if you can't win at critical moments, you're just a weakling in the eyes of the fans.

So Li Ang agreed happily.

In the preparation time for the next two days, Lukaku, who played Suarez's tactical role, was also tortured by Li Ang's single defense.

The other Chelsea players, who knew that Li Ang would act as a tactical pawn on the day of the game and fight Suarez one-on-one, could only admire Li Ang.

Even Oscar, who had always believed that he lost his starting position because of Li Ang's arrival, now has to be convinced by Li Ang.

If it were him, let him lower his body in an important game and fight one-on-one with the opponent's sharp striker, he would not be able to do this at all.

Not only did he not want to do this kind of work, but his agent couldn't bear to see him working as a sapper on the court.

So before the game started on the afternoon of December 29, Li Ang stepped onto the playing field with almost all his teammates watching in admiration.

At first, Liverpool's players and their manager Rodgers did not realize the seriousness of the matter.

Suarez just felt strange as to why Li Ang had been staying in the backcourt since the start of the game and did not go to the frontcourt to organize attacks as before.

It wasn't until Li Ang walked up to him with a warm smile and greeted him that he reacted with wide eyes.

"You today...could it be?"

Seeing that Suarez didn't dare to confirm, Li Ang generously covered his mouth and made a joke with him.

"Louis, I'm your fan. Please be gentle today and don't embarrass me too much~"

Suarez was shocked when he heard Li Ang say this.

He doesn't want Li Ang to be his fan!

As we all know, every time Li Ang says this, a player or coach becomes a victim on the court.

So Suarez didn't care about communicating with Li Ang anymore. He turned around and ran away, not wanting to stay with Li Ang for even one second longer!

Of course, Li Ang would not let him go like this. He chased Suarez as soon as he ran away, without any self-consciousness of the top star in the Premier League.

Countless neutral fans who saw Li Ang's posture were also shocked.

The shock this brought to them was equivalent to seeing the super Rooney who had been around for about 10 years retreat when Manchester United played against Arsenal and personally defend Cesc Fabregas one-on-one!

Such a thing would have only existed in their imagination, but today, Mourinho's Chelsea turned it into a reality!

Rogers was completely stunned. This tactical script not only subverted his pre-match expectations, but also completely made him unable to find a way to crack it!

Today's Liverpool originally relied on Suarez to drive the counterattack, but now Mourinho used his trump card to play with Suarez and blew himself up.

One-on-one, if Suarez can deal with Li Ang, he can still perform on the offensive end.

But the key is that no matter how you look at it, Suarez is not as capable of single-point explosions as Messi!

Last season, Li Ang was able to further restrict Messi's performance.

After Li Ang came to the Premier League this season, he has not missed a beat on the defensive end.

Whether it was limiting Rooney, David Silva or Eriksen, he did a very good job.

Therefore, Rogers himself is not optimistic about whether Suarez can successfully break through Li Ang's restrictions.

At present, Chelsea without Li Ang still has Lampard and Hazard who can launch offense, and Ibrahimovic can finish stably.

But what about Liverpool without Suarez?

Can Coutinho and Sterling, the two young men, turn the tide?

Facts have proved that Coutinho and Sterling at this stage are not the same people who have evolved in a few years. On the offensive end, their performance is even more impressive.

Suarez wanted to continue to involve Chelsea's defense through his movement.

But he underestimated the trust of Chelsea generals in Li Ang's defensive ability.

It was also the first time for Suarez to feel the frustration of being entangled with iron ropes, powerful but unable to use them.

The key is that when he cursed people in his native dialect, Li Ang "communicated" with him seamlessly and directly in Spanish...

Suarez originally thought this would be his strength.

But he didn't know that after Li Ang played against Diego Costa for the first time, he went online to check some relevant Spanish "information."

Therefore, even if he is not considered to be a top-notch fighter, Li Ang is now considered a master at greeting people in Spanish.

Unable to escape and scolded again and again, Suarez felt very frustrated and couldn't help but grind his teeth.

However, Li Ang is not afraid, because he knows that Suarez has endured it for a full year since he bit Ivanovic and was suspended last season.

It wasn't until the 2014 World Cup that he made another mistake because he couldn't stand the temptation of Chiellini's body.

And after being severely warned by the Football Association, Suarez also understood that if he dared to make similar mistakes again in the Premier League, he would have no choice but to leave the league.

Therefore, Li Ang is confident. His strong fighting ability made Suarez, who was already physically exhausted in the last round, completely unable to find this person in this game.

Liverpool, on the other hand, failed to defend its own city goal even though Chelsea lacked a powerful offensive weapon.

In the 32nd minute of the first half, Liverpool was scored by Ibrahimovic's header.

In the 71st minute of the second half, when Lampard, who was inserted from behind, scored from a long shot, Rogers knew the situation was over.

Considering that they have a revenge game against newly promoted Hull City three days later.

In the end, Rogers could only rationally replace Suarez and midfielder Lucas early.

When Mourinho saw this, he did not pursue Liverpool fiercely. Instead, he mobilized his troops and followed the substitutions.

They took advantage of Chelsea and defeated Liverpool 2-0 without any blood, successfully ending all the games in the first half of the 2013-14 Premier League season.

In the 19th round of the league, Chelsea has achieved a record of 16 wins, two draws and one loss, ranking first with 50 points!

Manchester City, currently ranked second in the Premier League, has 44 points, two games behind Chelsea. Chelsea's top spot is very secure.

But just three days later, in the first Premier League game of 2014.

Chelsea and Manchester City, ranked first and second in the Premier League, both lost. Failed to get off to a good start in the New Year's league.

Chelsea lost to Southampton 2-3 as a guest at St. Mary's Stadium, while Manchester City also played away from home and lost to Swansea 2-3.

The two teams even lost by the same score, so they can be called brothers in distress.

After Arsenal lost to Chelsea, they avenged their shame and won three consecutive games, overtaking Manchester City again and reaching the second position in the Premier League.

After the first league game of the new year was played, each Premier League team finally ushered in a ten-day rest period.

On the first day of the Premier League winter transfer window, Chelsea quietly announced the completion of two signings.

Salah, a young forward who performed well in the Champions League group stage this season, and Maguire, who has become famous in the English League One this season, were both acquired by Chelsea.

One of these two players is 21 years old and the other is 20 years old, both are quite young.

They should all be loaned out by Chelsea in the second half of the season to continue training.

But at present, both young men have arrived at the Cobham training base to meet with coach Mourinho.

According to Sky Sports reports, Li Ang, who has been training at the Cobham training base recently, gets along very happily with these two young players.

And Mourinho also made two heavy hammers in the process of rebuilding Chelsea's foundation.
